There is evident need of a Sharp stick.
LICENSE rs. PRoHIBTTIoN.-Fools will learn
IN no school but that Of experience. saws the
proyerb they must try for themselves and
suffer the consequences. If those who clam
or for repeal Of our prohibitory law and
the enactment Of License law, persist in
considering the condition of Vermont under
the prohibitory law tcorse than in former
times, perhaps no reasoning would have anv
effect on them. Some may not remember
the former condition of the State as to Tenn
perance Let such profit by the present ex-
ample Of States around US.
A special committee was lately appointed
by the Assembly Of Rhode Island to consider
the petition Of certain persons for a repeal
of the license law of that State. In their
report made last week, the committee saw
that the testimony laid before them is full
and conclusive that since the passage of the
License law the number Of drinking sbons
has largely increased, with a corresponding
increase of intoxication and crime. They
therefore recommend the repeal Of the Ii
cense law on the ground that the sale Of
liquor has a demoralizng tendency upon COM
munity. and say there is no argument for L.
gaining this traffic that would not applv IN
any other practice Of direct vicious tendency.
But, say the shouters for repeal of our
Prohibitory law, we want a Itriugent IL
oense system. one that shall confne the sale
of liquor to & few respectable persons in each
place. just that was claimed biz the
friends of License in Rhode Island; one
of the avowed objects of their law was "to
stop Illegal traffic" The committee referred
to say it was fully proved before them that
a. in most of the towns more were in the traf-
&c without licenses than with" Is there
any guaranty that the same result would not
follow License system in this State? We

The brief reply Of the State Treasurer to
all enquiries upon the subject Is "the names
are not as yet on our Rolls.

great injury to the cause Of the country, and
sharp injustice to the families of soldiers.
