For the Gazette.
| MESSRS. EDITORS-Our court commen-
ces on next Monday, the Ist day of April,
| 1867. | see the names of IS persons pub
lished in the Gazette praying the court to
grant them tavern licenses to sell spiritu-
Gus liquors. There never was a time in
the history of our country when it requir-
| ed our courts OF justice to restrict the sale
OF Intoxicating drinks as it does at this
time. In the town Of Newton Hamilton
L see the names of three persons making
application to the court for license to keep
public houses and sell whiskey. About
eight years ago the Odd Fellows built a
house intended to be kept as tavern in
direct opposition to the old house. The
court inquired into the matter whetherit it
was necessary to increase the sale of spir-
ItuOus liquors, and decided it was not, but
that one licensed house in the borough of
Newton Hamilton was plenty TO accom-
mOdate the travelling custom This re-
suited III an attempt TO break down the
old house by returning the keeper to two
different courts which cost our county up-
wards of one hundred dollars. Il have
been in the town of Newton Hamilton.
and have conversed with different per-
sons, who tell me that the travel to and
from that place don't average three per-
sons per day during the whole wear.
cannot see how il is that the citizens of
Newton Hamilton can certify that il is
necessary to have three licensed housesin
the town to accommodate strangers and
entertain travellers, when it can be proven
that there Is hot custom sufficient to keep
up one. If the court would appoint a day
to hear testimony for and against grant
ing licenses, it would be proven that any
one house in Newton Hamilton would ac-
commodate what travelling custom comes
to that place and five times as much.
have been informed that the man who
now keeps the public house in Newton
Hamilton has done much to reform drunk
enness. 1t is said that there are some i'll
disposed men in and about Newton HAM
ilton who procure liquor at another town
and of course get drunk, and created such
a state of affairs that the citizens got up
petition to the court of Quarter Sessions
which will be presented to this court pray
ing TO give the Borough authorities power
TO build a lookup house in the Town of
Newton Hamilton. With three taverns.
what will it be then?

COLUMBIA, 5. c., March 18-One of
the most remarkable meetings ever held
in South Carolina took place to-day, the
occasion being a celebration by the ne
groes of the passage of the bill enfranchis-
ing the black race. BY invitation, Gem
eral Hampton, eX-United States Senator:
w. +. Desaussere, Edward Arthur. Hon
W. j. Talley, and James q. Gibbs ad-
dressed the meeting; also. the Rev. Da-
vid Pickett and Beverly Nash, both col
ored. Sentiments were expressed hiqA}g
honorable TO both sides. The negroes are
gratitied with the spirit of political affiIi-
alton with which they have been met,
and the citizens are equally pleased TO find
the coIored nen identified with the true
interest OF the State. Should the conven-
ton be called, the latter will probably
nominate and support the best men in the
country, and, as declared by Mr. Nash,
viii urge Congress TO repeal the disfran-
chising clause.
We said some time ago that the democ-
racy would soon be cheek by iowl with
Sambo, and now we find the great demo-
cratic ex-rebel Wade Hampton, at a pub
lie meeting in South Carolina, on the
same stand with colored speakers and
addressing a crowd of coIored men, alias

crat, who is getting occasional its of Ne

Political Apathy in the South.

The Richmond Times thinks "it is un-
fortunate for Virginia and the South that
'the profound political apathy which pre-
walls among our people stagnates all the
energy of true and exalted statesman
ship" This political apathy" says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, is a good sign for
the South, indicating, as it does, that the
masses Of the people have little confidence
in their political leaders. Because they
refuse longer to follow the advise Of PRYOR.
and other fire-eaters, they are accused of
being in state of apathy, much to the
chagrin of these malcontents. 1t is bet
ter for the South that such is the case. If
they would refuse to listen to the evil
counsels, and ignore the bombastic and
reasonable columns of the Richmond.
Augusta, Mobile, New Orleans and Mem
phis journals, and judge and act for them
selves, like independent men, they would
soon find among themselves that true
and exalted craftsmanship" the absence
of which they now so much deplore. Is
not the political apathy lamented by
the Times an evidence that the people are
beginning to read and think for them
selves, instead Of blindly following, as of
old, the madmen who precipitated them
into wicked war, and caused their homes
and lands TO be laid desolate? From this
apathy we may look for good to come.

Just passed bv Congress in relation to the sale of

mixing naphtha (which is infammable at any
temperatsre) with the oil, thus making mixture
which endangers the life of every one who burns
it. Any oil which will ignite at temperature
of less than one hundred degrees Fahrenheit is
unsafe and the law Furnishes its sale with fine
and imprisonment ~
