Should be Satisfied.

We think the Public Square last Monday
must have furnished clear proof ol tie
effect of licensed bars within our borders.
As far as the lTess and Banner is able IL
Judge, we would testify that there was more
drunkenness on our Public Square last Sale
day than there Yves during the whole Of lasI
year-eXcepting only the month OF Deccm
ber.
The sight Of the many drunken citizens
and the crowds of drunken negroes, mus
haye furnished indisputable evidence thai
there Is now, under the license system, ali
enormous increase in the sale Of liquor a:
Abbeville.
We have now had experience with license
and no-license, and we have no doubi
whatever, that licensed bars more thar
doubles the drunkenness, and we all know
that their open doors and brilliant lights d'
nothing TO inculcate habits of sobriety.

Why this Difference.

Still other divines assay to account
for the prevailing indifference toward
religion and public worship. The
NEIGHBoR, last week, gave one cause
of the Indifference in which the prin'
ter made US say tearing" for teasing
But that makes but little difference
when it is so manifest that men and
women of the world with the half
hearted religionists of the day are tear
ing up the old gospel way Of salvation
and blazing out near and easy cuts to
heaven, Yet, they tear up and tear
around as if they had just found out
how the church, the world, the flesh
and the Devil could all go hand in
hand without friction or fuss and with
al have "nice time" The assign
ment of one more cause Of the prevail
ing indifference may suffice for this
present: During the four or five years
of the late war the people scarcely
heard preaching, praying or religious
talk that was not mixed more or less
with war thoughts, war feelings, war
doings, warsufferings, war elories, DC.
Chaplains and other preachers, speak
ers and praying men had to preach,
pray aud talk pat''ioticallV, or risk be-
ing suspected or charged with being
not true to their country. He who Of
ficiated had to think how lie should
frame his sentences SO as to be agreea-
bic to the ears of the audience rather
than acceptable to God. New people
who for four or five years had been fed
and toasted with such religious diet
could nol reasonably be expected to
have a ravenous relish for religion of
peace and good will. If it was Chris
tian like to kill and destroy then, how
can it be right to follow peace with all
men now?

Wisconsin is robed in white, and there

SAINT ANTHONY PARK, MINI.

Mn Dear Brother BrooUne:
1 send you for the NElGHBoR 6
number of thoughts which you may
dispose of as you may think proper.
It is uncertain whether l Shall evel
write any thing again for your good
paper. am now in my 10Th year
and though my health is some BETTE
than it was last fall, yet health and
life are very uncertain to ole Of my
years.
The cause of Peace is still Ve'y ded'
to me, and will be [ do not doubt
when 1 shall find myself far down IN
to "the swelling of Jordan" 1 am
hopeful for the triumph of Arbitra
ton, and yet have many, many fears
The world WIS never so we'll prepared
for war as now and the nations o.
Europe and our country are carefully
cullivating a military spirit and a love
of military glory. The war spirits in
our country, and they are "legion," are
determined to build navy as large ol
larger than any nation in the world.
I look with alarm upon the hoistine
the American flag upon the houses oi
the common schools III cur Northern
and Western States. see with great
sorrow that the speeches that are made
on the occasion of raising the flags, are
vain glories, and greatly tend to culti,
vate war spirit among boys, and Il
love of military glory. And the next
step will he to organize military COM
panies among the boys in common
schools for drill and vain and gaudy
display, all Of which is pagan and n6l
Christian.
Well, my dear Brother Browne, /
am nearly through with my life on
earth, and I am pc,y sad and uc'3
thankful. I am very sad that L shall
leave the world so full of sin, especial
ly of The sin Of a war spirit, and Il love
of military reading and display. But
I am very thankful that if, through
the infinite love and mercy of God in
Christ Jesus, 1 shall find my eternal
home in the heavenly world, l shall
see and hear nothing there about
"coast dcfenccs," "Battle ships, ""Tor
pedoes," "War flags" military sci
ence," military display" nor that
New York monthly magazine called
"Mc Century,"
But | must close my hastily written
letter. Whether Peace in this world
will triumph over War in all nations l
cannot tell, but know that the bless
ed kingdom of Jesus, the King OF
saints and the Prince of Peace, will
triumph glorionsly in heaven to al
eternity. Dear Brother, | hope to
meet you in that holy happy world OF
everlasting peace.
Your friend noao and forcpcr,
JOHN UEMMENWAI.

Asleep Until Late l.: the Day.


For the last few weeks the l:apers,
secular aid rcl:gi:ils, have been teem-
ing with articles on the Negro Prob
lem. and it is really amusing to see
what iroinineirc is given to The views
advanced 10y some men, as if they were
the first 10 advance them.
This writer, four or five years ago,
advanced the opinion that The best,
and safest solution of this great prob
lem, was to scatter the negro race.
We claimed this as imperative to the
protection Of the South, and also as the
best policy to adopt for the develop
mcnt Of the negro.
The first article oil 1hc subject was
Published i'll the Southern Christian
Advocate, and the second in the
NEIGuBoR, having been refused publi-
cation by the Advocate.
There the whole matter ended, and
this writer became an object Of ridicule
on the part of some people, for being
so visionary and impracticable. Re
Gently the commolion and restlessness
among the negroes themselves, and
the renewal Of the subject by promi-
nent writers and speakers, have given
new life to it, and since distinguished
men have insisted upon the en?rai
dissemination of the negro race, as the
safest and best policy, to some people
the theory looks less visionary, and in
fact little more practicable.
Men row, all over the country, talk
and write freely, in vindication Of this
supposed new idea, and no one seems
afraid of public ridiculc.
Some grave sages philosophize OH
the subject as if no one had ever
thought Of such thing before.
O what distinction can be given q
subject, or a'J one phase of it, when
Wind Gated by recognized leader
Our purpose is not to discuss the Ne
gro Problem in this article, but to say,
we stand to-day just where we did five
years ago, and that we believe the scat,
tering of the race will take place, and
that it will settle, and satisfactorily
solve The great race problem.
1t will save the South from amalga-
nation and ruin, and it will put the
negro in a position, where the best and
most eifectual means can be used for
his elevation and development, and
that without any appreciable loss to
the Anglo-SaXon race. All this can
be done without any war or bloodshed,
and yet have nothing compulsory or
arbitrary in the movement.
The negro race is ripening for it, and
all that is necessary to make the move
ment succeed, is for the white people
to act with common sense, and in a
Christian spirit. encourage the right
thing. This done, aud there will be
no need of making the negro's interest
speciality, and of exhausting all the
energies of our Commonwealth to de-
velop his possibilities, and make him
u civilized Christian citizen.
Less enthusiasm in behalf of the ne
gro race, and u little more wisdom will
make the Christianity of this country
a blessing to him, and will drive away
the storm-clouds which have threaten
cd thi, nation for more than quarter
of a century.

Several men were in this city on Saturday with carloads of ore for which they expected to find ready sale, so that they could layin supplies ; but as most of these ores were dry or siliceous, they could neither be sold nor reduced at any price they could bear, owing to the scarcity of hu1ing ores and the miners had to depart without even their Christmas sup plies.
