Of the above, 370 Th New Xorit Journal or commerce on Fron;btllon. TiioMAsviLLK, N. C, May 7, 1S81. Editor of the Journal: The Legislature of North Carolina at its late session passed a bill lo pro- nion tne manuiacture and sale of spirituous liquors, which is to be sub milled to the people on the 5th of August next for their ratification or rejection. Now I wish your opinion, on the following points: ' ' " 1. Would it iuure to the benefit of a State situated as North Carolina is, either financially, morally or religi ously, while adjoining States are un trammeled, to have a prohibitory law? 2. Which does the greater evil to our common country, financially, morally, or physically, ; tobacco or. spirituous liquors? ' 3. Does not" the temperate nse of spirits promote longevity? 4. "What States have had or now have a prohibitory liquor law ? . Anti-Fanaticism. Reply. . We have often given our opinion as to the effect of such sumptuary .laws. If the cause of temperance was thereby j promoted, there would remain the serious ques tion whether such an , abridgment of the liberties of the people, if tho roughly enforced, would not endanger more vital interests' than the law is intended to conserve. -But as a mat ter of fact, and in spite of the public statements of the orators of that school,1 the prohibitory law baa never in any State promoted the; cause of temperance. 2. The immoderate use of intoxi cating drinks does far more evil we rORKLIMG AND PL4TT, -cooler weather at futures advanced; hales were to arrive. 1 think than the use the difficulty with of tobacco; but the prohibitory ADMINISTRATION v MEMBERS ' OF TUB NKW : YORK LEGISLATURE A UNIT AGAINST TUB EBSIGNIRS THE PRESIDENT ENDORSED BTTHE RE PUBLICAN COMMITTEE -OF ? 1880 RESOLUTIONS Off THE REPUBLICAN J-.

The administration members of the Legislature are a-unit in their determination to vote for no man for Senator who is not known to be in hearty sympathy with the administration, and they will under1 no circumstances vote for any man who has antagonized General Garfield or has avowed his purpose to do so. Thirty-five- members of ; the. Assembly, including Speaker Sharpe, met last night in the rooms of the Republican General Com mittee The utmost secrecy.'was main lainea as to tne proceedings. - - Tne ltKSU ltepublican fJommittee ad on ted a resolution endorsing the actiou u f Presi dent Garfield on the Robertson nomination. The following resolution! has been adop ted by the Republican General Committee of Albany county:- . r - JUesoived, That we deeply, deplore tbe course recently -pursued by tbe President in attempting to force tbe Senate ol tbe united States to approve of the nomination of "Wm. H. -Robertson to be collector of the port of New York, when-no -vacancy existed in said office, and without other cause than to pay a personal political obligation, which obligation was created through the treachery of said nominee to the regular - Republican organization in the f State; and -that we earnestly and confidently express the hope t&at tne Lieeiaiature or tne-State oiiltew York will promptly stamp its condemns tion upon the act by re-electing Senators Conkiing and Piatt -to .the-- positions they law is two fold: it does not diminish the evil, and "if it could be -so enforced that it did prohibit! the 'sale and use of liquor, it. would do a greater pub- no narm oy lasing away me iounaa tion of all free institutions the con sent of the governed. , U j , V; 3. With very much evil from their abuse, there is also .: much practical good from the proper nse I ants, s liut whether wise Haw l( la Viewed la New Yrk. . . - i from Letter in Philadelphia Ledger, Ind. The - voles of such . Democratic 3ia(,esinen as Senators Vo'orheea,Beck 'id Pendleton to confirm Mr. Stan ly Matthews is calculated to throw lie party into confusion. Nearly f very Democratic Convention!, that was held last year had an anti-monopoly plank in it, and another plank favoring the limitation of the corpo rate power, yet the complaint now is that these Democratic Senators de liberately 'turn Uheir backs on that record, and vote for the confirmation of a Supreme Court Judge who is chiefly known as a railroad attorney, and who may. therefore, be called upon to adjudicate cases in which he may have direct personal concern. There is pretty strong talk of this kind among Democrats of high standing here, and it is by no means improbable that ere long the Sena tors referred to will be formally called to explain the difference be- i t ween their protessions and ' practice. The Board of Trade and Transporta tion, which bad resisted Mr. Mat thews from the start, on the ground that he was wholly in the railroad interest, are going to have a meeting ? to express tneir views 01 tne situation, and the anti-monopoly, you , may be ure, will not be slow in following np the movement from the same stand foint. ' . . . . . Tbe opinion of ibeN. C. Senators. I The Washington Post gives the opinion of all of the Senators as to i the meaning of Conkling's course t . . Senator Ransom "I am at a loss to nnderstand this move, but I think - I can see tbe result. Conkiing would l hot have taken such a step without a I determination to carry it Out indefi-. . nttely. The result will be, must be, three great political parties the Ad- tnmisiraiion lt-epuDiicans, tne rani i Conkiing party, and the Democrats, with the chances largely in favor of the last named. .. Senator Vance "It is only a 'tern i pest in a tea-pot,' a sort of glass of i oda-water effervescing now, but htnind to settle' after - it has been "wallowed. I do not believe tbe racket will delay, adjournment, and that, ia what I Care most about." ' Proliibltlon Siatletles. I : From the Boston Post. ! In 1872 there were eight States living under the protection of the Prohibitory law, but t according to United States revenue returns nearly one-sixth of the retail liquor sales in iht! whole country for that year were ! made in these eight Stales, arnount I ing to 122,000,000. IThia statement I was made before the Congregational f Club of Portland by Mr. Theodore C.Woodbury. of stimu or not, all nations will use them, and no people can be prevented from such use with out governing them with a despotic power inconsistent t wi;h I any enjoy ment of liberty." To enforce a pro hibitory law to its heal letter without reserve, would be like burning down a barn to kill the vermin in it.- 1 i 4. Most of tbe New : England States, New York,' and some middle and western States, have experiment ed with a prohibitory f law r but it has been nowhere strictly enforced. ; Prlitca Benncu Abroad. ; - 1 - - - Paris Letter.
