License or No License.

Webster says that lcence is ''per-
mission; liberty; authority given to
do or forbear an act" The granting
of n license to do a certain act, is
an admission upon its face that
act to be fOreborne is at least
morally wrong, and the granting Of
license to sell intoxicating liquors, is
simply ligalizing a privi lege to per-
form an acknowledged wrong for
sum of money. 1t is granting an an
dILgence in what is admitted wrong,
for hire. That is just what, in our
opinion, license to sell intoxicating
drinks is, license thus to educate men
to become drunkards. If the bust
ness Is not injurious in its results,
why make the acknowledgement that
it is, by requiring compensation for
the privilege, as an offset. If then
the results of the business are injuri-
Gus, would it not be better policy and
more consistent to abate the evil, than
to sell the privilege to do evil. These
are questions that should be carefully
considered, and acted upon in a con
sistent, practical manner. The ques
ton Ofa license to do an acknowle ledg
ed wrong, or to withhold that privi
lege is to be decided upon by the vot'
Of the people Of this state, on the 18th
OF next month, and the question il
one in which the great moral interest
and credit Of our State is deeply in
VOlved, and the result should not b,
regarded slightly; but every tru
friend of humanity, morality and tn
happiness Of the family circle, shoul'
consider well the Importance of hi
vote before he casts it in favor of a
organic law that authorizes the perpe
tration and perpetuation of grea
moral curse upon our race, for pa
try nominal consideration.

License OF NO License2

The Legislature of Massachusetts
(where they have . prohibitory law)
passed law the other day to license
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors. 1t
went to the Governor for his sigma
ture, but he vetoed the biIl-it was
then returned to the popular branch
Of the Legislature with the hope of
getting it passed over the veto-but
this failed. the Legislature had their
eyes opened, and the vote stood SO to
40. So there is no license law in
Massachusetts and when you hear the
liquor dealers quoting Massachusetts
as having license to sell Intoxicating
liquors, just enlighten them on the
subject The prohibition law in that
State is not repealed but is still the law
Of the State, and honest sober men are
none the worse off for it.

= The able Washington correspon-
dent Of the Cincinnati Gazette pays our
Representative in Congress the follow
ing merited compliment in his letter
of the 7th inst:
There has been no more attentive
observer of oflegislation, extending even
to its least important details, in the
present Congress than John @. Smith.
In debate he has had little to say, but
in active work among his associates he
has exerted much influence. His anti
imitation speech drew the attention of
the House to him, and he stood at the
close of the session well above the
standing reached by the mass of the
new members. His distinguished trait
has been watchfulness. Very little
business has been done at the desk
that he has not understood the nature
of, and many job or important meas
ure has failed through his objection ,ol
upon his demand for the yeas and
nays.
His character as legislator is per-
haps best illustrated by his vote on the
bill for the abolition of the district
ring. The whole House, with few
exceptions was voting for it. There
was every probability that whoever op-
posed it would be classed as support
ers of or apologists for the ring. But
because he believed that the guarantee
by the United States of the Distric
bonds, as provided by the bill, was alb
sOlute and complete, and because +
was impossible to obtain the explana
items upon this point which he de
manded, he voted no, preferring to rul
the risk of being able to give his con
Stituents a satisfactory reason for hi
course than TO vote for such an en-
dorsements of the bonds as he believe,
the bill contained He has been al
honest and painstaking worker here
and he deserves well of his district.

A Relic of the Nathan murder.

Recently the workmen engaged in
demolishing the Nathan mansion,
Twenty-third street, discovered q
night shirt, covered with blood, Sc
creted behind the dumb waiter. 1t
was taken to the Police Central office
this morning, having been claimed by
the police authorities, The name of
Nathan can be distinguished under
meath the collar, though covered with
large blotch of blood. MANY per-
sons visited the scene expecting,
dobtless, that other evidences of crime
would be brought to light, bnt so far
have been disappointed.

1t is rather surprising to learn that
the tremendous efforts made to sup
press the saloons and dram drinking
have produced no sensible effect upon
the amount of liquor consumed in this
county. The special tax on sales of
liquors fell off but eight thousand dol
lars in March, though the manufac,
ture was less by eighty thousand gal
Ions. Recent returns, however, show
that distillers, having recovered con
fidence in the stability of the trade,
are making up for lost ttime.-TCincin.

A man who has advocated tenn
peranee principles, and by his exam
pie and precepts tried to inculcate these
principles in the minds of his chill
dren and neighbors, tried to persuade
boys and men not to use Intoxicating
liquors as beverage, and in every
was discouraged the traffic in them,
would be acting very inconsistently by
voting to license the traffic, then and
thus voting to legalize business that
he has denounced as great mora
wrong, and curse to the world

How Matt. Carpenter Makes the
Edges Cut.

The connection Of Senator Carpen-
ter and Benz amin Butler with Louisi-
ana affairs, of which recent New Or
leans dispatches afford all inkling, is
freely discussed here. They are
both charged with playing a double
game. Certain Kellogg ottice-hold-
ers here, high in. the confidence of
that timid gentleman, are quite bold
in declaring that. Carpenter bled KEEL
logg. He demanded five thousand
dollars for delivering an argument of
twenty or twenty-five minutes in the
matter of the writ OF prohibtioa.-
Three Thousand dollars were paid him
prior to the 18th of January, 1873
The Kellogg folks thought that they
hal paid h m enough, as Caleb Cash
in, u better LAWYER, had charged for
SIMILAR services only two thousand
dollars. GA the day mentioned,
January IL, 1873, the Louisiana mat

his course. Since that time, as is
well known, he has denounced Du-

bill providing for new election in
Louisiana, NJ. Howe, his colleague
presented an amendment that, pend
ing the new election, the kellogg
Government should be recognized
This was opposed by Thurman anf
others on the ground that it would
be a Congressional recognition of al
usurpation. This amendment was
successful by majority Of one, ant

This is pointed at as showing how HI

time that Carpenter made his famous
speech in New Orleans-which was
in May, lS73--he had only received
$4,000 from Kellogg, while he was de
handing $4,000. During his stay il

$1,000 more, and last December b.
was paid an additional $500, making

CARPET BAGGERs-A Truthful Pic
ture-At recent meeting of the col
ored people of Boston called to ex-
press sympathy with their race in the
South, under the "outrages" to which
it is alleged they are subjected, one
DR.. Brown, a colored man, made a
speech, in which he told some very
plain truths. The Doctor said: THE
origin of all the black mans trouble
since the war was, that he took too
much to the carpet-bagger, who had
no reputation at stake. These car
pet-baggers went South and made
tools of the black men, and robbed
the government and the colored peo-
pie. These Northern carpet-baggers
have clearly proved to the people of
this country that they are the enemy
OF the colored man, instead of, as
they would m ak us believe, our
Trends. A voice, "Yes that is true
IL these rpet-baggers had kept
away and let the colored peopl e
alone, they would have been much
oetter Oft to-day. (Cries, "that is
true. Now. we must consider and
Judge this matter, and as American
c,tlzens we must tell the colored peo-
PIE Of the South not to allow white
men or Northern carpet-bagsers to
maze tools Of them, to act and Judge
sne course they must pursue in their
honr Of trouble,
