Ed. he9tster-
The Current River Netcs (Doniphar,
NO. of recent date had an article on
the importance and utility of the pub
lie press, and the necessity of guarding
its liberties for the welfare of the peo-
pie. 1t complains of the breach Of the
postal treaty lately perpetrated by the
British Government in suppressing an
American journal, and preventings its
delivery to the subscribers in Ireland.
To your readers who may not have
much occasion to keep up correspond
ence with European countries. it may
be well to explain that there exists n
post-office treaty between the United
States and certain countries i'm Europe
England, France, &c.-by the terms
of which, all letters, papers, magazines,
books, &C., which it is lawful to pub
lish and circulate in any one of those
countries, may be transmitted by mail
to the other countries, and shall be
safely delivered to their addressed des-
tination.
Now, the Irish World is published
in New York by an American citizen,
and read by nearly three hundred
thousand people in the United States,
and upwards of ten thousand in Ire
land. But the oligarchy o. Britain de-
clares that the circulation of it shall be
stopped in ireland, because it is teach
ing the people American ideas. And

tions, and in disrespect Of American
rights, the papers are confiscated and
destroyed on their arrival at the Brit
ish Post Offices!
the outrage of imprisoning American
citizens, the British Government has
now added a system of espionage over
the American mails, for the purpose OF
preventing the introduction into Ire
land of the Irish World, one of the
ablest and most efficient advocates of
human rights that comes from the
American press. 1t has been striking
terrific blows for the cause of down.
trodden Ireland. and the landlords see
plainly that either they or the Irish
World must go, and naturally they
propose to stay. But they have be-
gun too late. The seed IL already sown,
and it would germinate now II not
another copy of the Irish World were
printed. They will not, however, sue
ceed, for the indomitable Ford will find
some way to get his paper into Ireland,
spite of British spies"
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is all very
we'll; but will the free citizens Of this
New World, who have descended from
the best of Europe's adventurous spir-
its, from fathers who whipped the
Britisher at Yorktown and New Or
leans-will they, ask, be satisfied 10
let the man-crushing, world-enslaving,
liberty-suppressing tyrants Of England
continue, unrebuked, to show their
scorn of justice and their contempt Of
this "land of the free and home Of the
brave?"
When the robber oligarchy of En-
gland found that the people Of this
great Union Of Republics was too
strong for their armies and navies, they
set to work on a scheme Of separation
of the States. and did all the could, by
their encouragement, to the losing par

shed between them, SD that by weak

The Manning Supreme Court, decided
the Sunday Law to be constitutional ::
the new Supreme Court decide that it is
not. While we are not prepared to
criticize either decision, we must say
the sentiment of the quiet and law
abiding citizens is in favor of the Sun
day law not as puritanical but as a
police regulation. The Press of the
State has almost with one acclaim raised
it's voice in expression OF deep regret at
Court. These intelligent papers know,
and know full we'll from the history Of
the past, that crime, and particularly
homicides will increase.-[M arksville

We learned from gentleman who
visited our sister town of Washington
on the day the boat left, that he counted
fifty-eight peddling hacks in that town
at one time, where they were shipping
their loads of chickens, eggs, hides. &C.,
taken in exchange for goods on their
tour through the country. 1t has be-
come quite a trade in our parish and
certainly a great convenience to our
planters. Everything a farmer needs is
brought to his door by the different
hacks, from calico dress to a pound OF
coffee, and the housewife is not bothered
with sending her eggs, chickens and
butter to town, for the obliging peddler
is willing to save her the trouble, by
paying the highest market price and
taking charge Of same.

There is a strange inconsistency in
some of the country papers in regard to
a Sunday law. In the Sugar Planter IA
merchant says: shall open my store
on Sundays under the recent decision
of the Supreme Court, but no liquor
shall be sold or given away in my es-
Enlistment on those days. | desire
that my family shall go and return
from church without having their ears
saluted with obscenty from drunken
negroes on the roads," Liquor is an
article of commerce, and there is no
reason why it should not be sold 10y
licensed dealers on Sunday, as well as
any other article of commerce. A man
with a church going family may decline
to sell it on Sunday, for the reason above
given; but dealer with no family may
act differently. Farm laborers, me-
chanics, ETC., do not work on Sunday
elections are not held ON Sunday; the
business of the courts, and of the State
and federal governments is not trans
acted on Sunday-all the employees
rest on Sunday. Rest one day in seven
is required by nature; and we are in fa-
vor of a law absolutely closing all places
of business on Sunday, so that the en-
ployees can have rest. All employees
the ones mainly interested-will vote
for a Sunday law, unless they are bull
dozed by the fear of losing their sit
uatiOns.

We notice that since the decision of
the Supreme Court upon the subject OF
the Sunday law, that many OF our
largest business houses still remain
closed on the Sabbath. We heard one
prominent merchant remark when the
news reached us that the Sunday law
was dead letter: am not men,
Der of any church | see no sin in selling
my goods on Sunday; | have always
been able to make IL living by working
SIX days out of the seven, and whether
the law compels me to close or not on
Sunday | am going to do so, and at
least have one day in the week to rest
lie has done SO, and we expect will
continue to do so. We have found no
difficulty i'll providing for our wants for
Sunday, 10y purchasing what we needed
on Saturday, nor do we suppose any
one else has. We are under the i'm
preston that the majority of our mer-
chants have found by experience that
one day of rest out Of the seven is not
too much, and that law or no law that
the habit of closing their doors on
Sunday and giving themselves as we'll
as their employees days rest will still
be observed.
