IMPORTANT Decision ON THE LIQUOR TRAF-
F1c.-From the Philadelphia Argus we learn
that on Friday of last week an important de.
csion was made by Judge Thompson Of the
PhiladeI phia Court of Quarter Sessions, ad.
verse to the sale of liquor on Sunday. A man
indicted for keeping disorderIy house, was
charged in the second count of his Indictment,
with selling liquor without license. The dis
turbance which caused the indictment took
place on Sunday, aud there was evidence Of
the sale of liquor on that day. Mr.. District
Attorney Reed took the ground that, although
the defendant was licensed dealer, yet the H..
cense did not cover sales of liquor made on
Sunday. Judge Thompson charged the jury
that the defendants license did moi give him
the privilege of selling liquor on Sunday; that
the Supreme Court had so decided, and itthey
believed liquor had been sold by the defendant
on Sunday, he could be convicted on that
count. This decision of Judge Thompson is
based on that of the Supreme Court Of Penn.
sylvania, in the case Of The Commonwealth
agst Omit. An application of the principle
laid down by Judge Thompson will entirely
suppress the traffic in liquor on the Sabbath, as
The license for it's sale does not cover the first
day of the week, commonly called Sunday. on
which no worldly employment can be carried

aRoe MEN AND WATER MEN.

Friend Smith, the razorsrop man, thus hits off these
characters respectively We hope he has 20 few more
left of the same sort"
The man that drinks grog, wine, brandy or beer
And loafs around the tap room from year toyear,
Will find in the end that he's lived in vain,
With sore old bones and an added brain;
He coughs and sneezes, and wheezcs and spits,
And he'll die at last in spasms and fits.
But the man that drinks water, old Adam own ale,
Will always be healthy, stout, rugged, and hale;
Of Dimes dollars, and eagles he'll ne'er be berefh
But always can boast of q few more lett;
And he'll live till his hair is as white as sheep,
Then he'll die like baby going to Sleep

It is contended that the refusal to grant i
censes to liquor shops increases the desire OF
indulgence in intoxicating drinks. Is this trues

crease the desire to steall Do the laws against
anything which is prohibited increase the desire
of Indulgence in the thing prohibited! 1t so'

order of the day, with trumpettongues, from
all the high and low places in the land; lea
and [ write it with reverence, the Almighty
may as we'll abrogate the moral law, tor Inc
purpose of reforming the profane swearer, the
idoater, the Sabbath breaker, the murderer,
because ti.en-he desire to indulge in any OF
the sins forbidden would not be so great as
that desire is while that law stands face to face
with the transgressor.
The question is asked in the communication
"Why, especially, are so many of our young
men of ofColumbia, our future hope, worshlppng
nightly at the shrine Of Bacchuss Why the
midnight orgies issuing from the numerous lit
tie depots on the railroad to hell that disgrace
our towu?" Will "E." give the reason why
these things are so in Coumbias If am COR
rectly informed licenses are granted there, at
least so 1 read in the papers published there.
Has prohibition, or refusal to grant licenses:
scattered its scathing influence in the beautiful
town of fCoumbia, and stricken down the young
men who are her future hopee May it not be
that the making "of the numerous little depots
on the railroad to hell that disgrace our town"
(Columbia) respectable by the authority oflaw,
be the cause of the evils which the writer so
feelingly deplores, and in which he has my
deepest sympathy.
1 have only leisure to intimate that the Oh
iect of prolIbitory law is not to force men to
be sober, any more than it is the object OF law
to fnrce men to he honest. The law would
prohibit the sale of ardent spirits as it would
prohibit the introduction ofgoods infected with
the small pox. As the introduction of tie one
can be and is prohibited by law, so can the
sale of the other, and that is all that prohlbl-
tory law would require. Such is the distInc;,
ton which the advocates Of such law contend
really is to be made, and that is it on which
they rely to show that the destruction does ex-
ist on which they insist. NEWBERRY.

From the South Carolinian.
The Prohibition Question.

Messrs. Eaitors- An article with the caption
"Who will Volunteer" is in your paper OF
June 8, which ought to have some notice.
The writer says that without making an ella
borate inquiry ss to the expediency of legally
restraining the sale of ardent spirits, Z" will
simply state fact arrived at by actual obser-
walton, that iu those communities, within our
own borders, where licenses have been refused
by the authorities, (such as Greenvile, Ander.
son, Due West and Newberry,) more liquor
has been sold and drunk since than before pro-
hibitionp
The very language of the writer is quoted.
As to the argument based upon this assumed
state of things, and the inference drawn there.
from, shall not now say anything; but in.
quire for the evidence Of the fact in the quota
ton. Will the writer be so good as to furnish
that2 He says this fact is arrived at By actual
observation May one who desires to know
the truth in relation to the quantity Of ardent
spirits drunk in Newberry (for with the other
places mentioned am not so well acquainted
as with Newberry) inquire how this observation
which furnished the fact alluded to, was mades
How the means of information were arrived
ats 1t is not denied that liquor is drunk in
Newberry, but it is very seriously. doubted
whether more is drunk than when licenses were
granted.
The writer wishes the advocates of temper.
