6 G o TUESDAY, AUGUST ie. J. A. MOOD. M. D. ) v D. 1). ANDERSON, j ^* JUSTICE. With reference to the paragraph o our editorial upon the lien lav* which ii reviewed over the above signature ii the Spirit of thc Times t we would say That thc word 4'merchant," (which h< uukindly misquotes in the plural,) wa: intended to include those whose op pressive extortions have been.alluded te by other papers and used as an argu? ment against the lit o system. We sup? pose that thc nun)ber is few, and noth? ing was farther from our iutcntiou than to question the dealing of a class of mee whose standard of honesty is as 'nigh ai any other. We ore satisfied that but few of our readers could have miscon? strued our language, as the latter sen? tence of thc paragraph implies an em? phatic denial of the application;, which "Justice" (?) would lane us make. Thc adverse spirit which he evinces in his inferences and comments upon sentiments he icoidd ?iave us express, inclines us to the opinion that the com? munication was not prompted by those motives which are usually denned by his norn de j?lame. We would regret the wording of the whole paragraph did the thought not suggest itself to our mind that a faultless diction would avoid the necessity of occasional com? munications, critical and expository, which add so much to thc worth and popularity of a newspaper. SOCIAITEQUAL?TY. The Kel? Era, a paper published an?? edited by colored meu of Charleston, in its issue of the Cth inst., takes a sen? sible view of the social status of the negro, and makes some good suggestions with reference to tue way in which it may bo elevated. Nothing has caused more chagrin to the abolitionist of the North, than his failure to elevate the negro to a position of social equality with the white man. The best blood of both North and South was spilled to make him free; hundreds of Yankee school-marms and reverend gentlemen have immolated themselves upon thc altar of social censure to improve his intellectual and moral faculties ; and congressional enactments have exhaust? ed their power in behalf of his social advancement. But after fifteen years, the cb#nge has been scarcely percepti? ble. The more intelligent among col? ored men Lave been attentive observers of these things, and strongly impregna? ted with thc erroneous conception that "all men are born free and equal," their pride has been bitterly galled by their social ostracism. They are beginning, however, to realize the fact that iheir inferiority is not occasioned by ideas which arc based upon pride or preju? dice alone, that the intellectual differ? ences between the races are not artifi? cial or imaginary distinctions, but are as marked and real as those which God has stamped upon their physical ap? pearance. Development of intellect is the characteristic feature which measures the superiority, of nations, and history and observation will show how wide is the difference between thc white man and ne;rro. The Huronean has lifted himself from barbarism by force of iote?lectand industry alone. Through . centuries of patient and painful labor lie has advanced through the various stages ? of civilization co the highest phase of social enlightenment. In this march through centuries he has not only de? veloped the various branches of knowl? edge incident to his high state of civili? zation; but he lias transmitted his men? tal activity (increased by exercise, through successive generations.) fron; sire to son, until hi- intellectual vigor surpasses that of any other race upon the globe While the European has thus been improving his social and intellectual condition, his African brother tins stood stock still. I alia biting a coun? try surpassed by none in wealth of mineral, agricultural a*.d mechanical ' resources, he has contented himself to remain in ignorance, and to dav the sun is shining upon square miles of heads as thick and empty as those which harried his rays in the days of Hum. It j is not surprising, therefore, that a race whose only progress towards civilization has been made by contact with thc white? man ia the relation of slave, should not risc at a bound, to be his. social equal. The colored race must recognize ami acknowledge its inferiority, and go dil? igently to work to improve its oppor? tunities. If, after centuries of labor, it manifests qualifications of mind and morals which are equal to those of its European brother, thc difference of caste will unavoidably disappear, and differences of "race, color or previous condition," will be forgotten ; but not until then can they hope to meet on a ground of social equality. Prohibition iii Maine. In summing up thc good results <>f prohibition in Maine, ex-Governor Dingly states that the number o' ?IraJU shops has been reduced from 1 to every 22? inhabitants in !?">:>. to less than one secret groggery io every tVOUO inhabitants in ISSI, while the s-ales in those secret shops are less than one fourth what they would be i ti openly l?scensed saluons. lie refutes the charge that there is more crime in Maine than in any other State by show? ing that there is in Maine one State PrisoD convict to 2,700 inhabitants : io Alabama, ono to 1,400 ; in California, ono to GOO; in Connecticut, one to 2. 100; in Massachusetts, onoto 2.200 ; in New Hampshire, one to L?0? ; in Vermont, one to 1,800: and in New Vvrk, one io 1.400 Notes by the Way. r_ M OM:: KA i.. As we vere gliding down On turi in the ooo] of thc a Ile!.noon, we wer silling in the rear of toe steamet . puffing a cigar. On our left lue shore were io full sie'ht. and now and thei f a train of ears could be seen dash in; s by. The lolling hills on one sitie ) the cain? and peaceful wafers on th* : other, with the sweet and quiet sk; - above, made ibo surroundings a 5 pleasant as heart could wish. Just at this juncture, wc were join > ; ed by a gentleman who had manifest . ly run away from the other end of lin . boat in order to take a smoke. Il< . was a stranger, but we soon struct up an acquaintance which proved t< 1 be very pleasant. True to his naliv< > instinct, he first began by ascertain ' iug who we were and where we cann . from. "Oh ! a Baptist [?reacher fron ? South Carolina ? Why, Mrs. Fitch is ? Baptist. Let me go after her.'* In c ; few moments he returned, bringing Isis wile, and then for some hours tu ? assailed tiie aforesaid Baptist preach er willi questions about thc South ; 1 for example, such questions as these : ".Vre negroes butchered down South : like beeves ? Did South Carolina go Democratic by the use of tissue ballots ? Do the Radicals much out? number the Democrats? Are negroes angels or demons ? Are the}* honest, truthful, pious?" Thus we were be i sieg'.'d, and that, loo, for hours. We answered every query as truly and "fully as we could, and when we parted we were both convinced that the best people of the North are Re? publicans, and of the S< nth Demo? crats. To the Nor!her.! Republicans, , nothing is more abhorrent and repul : sive than to have to entertain the idea of allowing tito Democrats to come into power. They conceive o? . them as a rabble, without moral or pecuniary inljuenee. Where the Dem? ocrats of the North own one dollar, j ibo Republicans own niue. Now in the South tiie facts arc just the rc ' verse, and, if the idle vagary can be . entertained, it does seem that there can never be a reconciliation of our political troubles until there can be a fusion of these two groat parties, al? lowing Northern Democrats and Southern Republicans to look out for themselves. Tins is the random opin? ion of au unsophisticated preacher who knows no more about politics ; than about the North-pole. To return to our story. The Lach inc Rapids were passed in safety. The river then spread.out into a lake two miles wide. Ahcv.d of us and on our left lay the city of Montreal, tho : metropolis of the Dominion of Canada, situated on au island formed by tho Ottawa and St, Lawrence Rivers, ? right at the base of a beautiful cmi : nonce known as Mount Royal. Its '. population is 100,000. The river be? low Montreal used to be very sfiallow . and rocky, not admitting vessels of more than three hundred tons, and thc foreign trade was carried on bv small brigs and barques. But mod? ern industry and enterprise have ; opened up the way, and at the dock we saw vessels fi um all parts of the world, carrying as much as four thousand tons. At the instance cd" Mr. Fitch afore named, we had a free ride over the city and visited many {/laces of inter? est Bonsecours Market is a model. It is three stories high, of immense length, and so arranged that each de? partment of meals, vegetables &c., is cut olf to itself. Near by is Bonse? cours Catholic Cathedral. It is a massive building, hoary with agi; bavin sr been built in 105G. lt is still O used as a place of worship.

Going on a lillie further, we came io au? ?thor Cal h ed J al, the St. James. Over a side entrance, we saw a sign board in Fi euch, "Venez voir la F?V.-y/e*'-Corms see thc Virgin. As ii. was (.-ur desire to see everything, we went in, pa vi ny; a toll often cents. We were ureeted wilh <i si ir! it of an immense statue of the Virgin Mary.

Mr. Creer also made some fine plays. His : baning and catching were both inimitable. Messrs. Weinberg. Flayer, Baker and Shaw did capitally, the hitler making the great i "catch" of the match. The whole nine did admirably, and sustained the reputation the . club had won in former seasons. Cood playing w;is also made by Captain . Foti?, and Messrs. Frierson, Bhame. McLeod ; and Xruluck of the Farmer Boys. They de : served a better showing but they had to deal : with veterans, who had never yet furled their ' tl;lg It is proper to say that the Lynchburgcrs laoored undcrgreat disadvantage. They had conte across the country in open conveyances ? this terrible August day, and il was not to ; be expected that their nerves and muscles could be.in:proper trim to sustain ihc addi? tional fatigue of a four hours match. Another comest may change the record, and Botts, as . usual, prove too much for the Beans. 1 can not close without expressing the uni? versal approval of both participants andspec tators of the promptness and impartiality of the umpire, Mr. W. J. Bud di ti of Lynchburg, : who discharged the difficult and laborious duties of his position, to perfection. The M ay es vii le boys avow that they never . wantan umpire that does not hold "his um? brella under his arm the whole time of the ! game ; they attribute much of Mr. B's hard headedness lu the peculiarity in his deport? ment. A movement of thc crowd brings us to the ' grounds marked out for the shooting. As the shadows are lingering, no time is ; lost in preliminaries-the trap is set, and Cap . tain Robert C. Witherspoon takes his posi? tion, the word is given-the ball rises-a . flash and the ball Hies into a thousand pieces. Judge Carroll comes nexi-another b'til-a quick explosiou and his ball flies loo, into a convenient fence corner. Messrs. Wm. Coop- . er. Barnett, and F. Cooper take iheir turns and their halls are returned uninjured to the ' box; Mr. Fiowdeu is more successful, breaks his ball, and gives way to Dr. Hudson-alas 1 . estick shot a he is-'"the trap is too promiscu? ous'"'-and a miss is scored, against a man, j whose natue is a terror in all partridge land ! ; The second round gives Capt. Witherspoon another score and allows Mr Barnett and; Dr. Hudson to retrieve somewhat of their ! fallen rep ut liions. And so with varying fortunes, the match : goes on, until ?be approaching clarkes? puts a '? stott to the sport, leaving Capt. Witherspoon ^ the victor, he having only missed one ball in ? : six, Dr. Hudson making a good second, niiss 1 i tig two ia the same number of shots. ' j Although there was scarcely light tb sec the balls, some of the more enthusiastic . sportsmen lingered to try double shots, result- ; , iug as before in favor of Dipt. Witherspoon, who made two double shots, bringing down i a ball with each barrel, both rounds. This places Capt. Witherspoon as the ' champion shot of .Salem, and as he is now ? \ seeking oilier worlds lo conquer, 1 am re- - quested to ask that you will send the address? es of Capt.
