The License Law&
One of the most objectionable and
oppro.ssivo Acts passed by the late
Legislature was the law requiring li
eOnCs for carrying on overy style of
business levying, thereby an addition
al Iax upon the material interests of
the country at large. An cffort was
made in Charleston to renist the pay.
ment of the license by a propoItion
to test the constitutionality of the
Act, and it would no doubt have been
done, had the State authorities tagreed
to suspend the collection of the li
eec until an appeal could be made
to the Courts.
Wc copy below an article from the
Charleston News concerning this sub
ject, which we think will prove of inw
terest:
"It is th:opinlion of counsol of high
position that the license law is as un
onstitutional as it is undoubtedly op,
pressive. All Charleston seemed
ready tostand in the broach, and to
tal the chances of fine and inipris
onment. But, as o0011 ats it was
known that the proseciting oficotas
Ilatly refused to suspend proceedings,
the opinion found frank amid general
expression that resistanco was usoless,
and that the payment of the license
fNes could not safely be postponed.
Even before the meeting of Monday
r adjourned a iumber i.f persons had
already taken out their licoie, some
of then paying the wfiole annual tat
in one uImp, instead of th first quar
rt,orly instahnent, which would have
satisitedl the legislative requiremonts.
E 'verybody felt that the law was a
mnonstrous ijustico, but the majority
were no doubt easily conviniCed t hat

In looking over the last number of
Harper's Weekly, we fnd.au aoioutit
of an outrage at Centralia, Pennsyl
vanla, which is so atrocious and cold
blooded as to make on 1almost dotbt "
whether or not ours is a civilitd coutt
try. When, as will be shown below,
the diabolical anut was prompted by .
Rotman Catholic fanaticism) the h
friends of Proteitanism in this sed
tion of the globe may well take itito
serious cobsideratin the gradual
though steady growth and encroach
monts of the Romish Church.
The circumstances of thn outrage
'eferred to ard, in brief, as follows a
A gentleman, 14. C. Greene by name,
is at the head of one ot the publio
schools at Centralia, and happened t
in course of private cotiversation to
reply vigorously to alRoash acquainr
tance who argued against Protestant- o
ism, and had treated it with little.rei
spect. The conversation reached the
cars of the priest, who forbid the
Rothish children to attend the school,
and efforts wero made to removo t
OJreene f'ot his positiou whieh prov- t
ing unavailing, a plot was fortned by 8
the Roman Catholies.to murder himi

found there onlV one Echolar, and
three men vhom ho did not know,
They all entered into convorsation,
and while Mr. G. 'wa' bending down
to open the door of the stote, he re
ceivod a severo blow with a slung
shot, and was immediately set upon
by all three of the strangers, who beat
him until they thought he Was dead, i
and then cut qffone of hif edrt. The I
assassins fled, and have not yn been
captured. Meanwhile their titjtiw
lies in a dying condition,
Wb know of ho languagd sttbng
enough with which to denoneetbis
act, and its vile peorpetrators and in- 3
stigators, and although fat away from
the scene of its occurrence, we feel
the samne inidigniation , over it that
should fill the heaurts of all upholders
of the Protestant Boligk6n. We hafye
always beeni the adlvocate of perfeet I
freedom 'of religiousopiionv, but our 1
liberality doeb'at extendl so far as to
permit a fore*ign sect to introduco its
dogmiaa by force and t'i&lence, And
when tho law 6f the~ fatid fails to pro
teet communhcios from the persecu
tiora of blind fanatics, we achnowl,
edge the right of those communitidsI
to take the law -in'to ttheir de*n hands,
and protect themselves. The Intel
eranuce and prejudice. of the Church<
of' Rome muist be met squarely by
every Protestant in the -land, and If
it beomes ntecesLary, .let Congress
enact such legitlation as will suocessa

its malicious oppowtente. it is ihe
S
prevailing religion of onr country,
and, in eur opinion, in view of the
bitter enoroachimen(s of floman Cath.,,

the matter, and unless a -r4taedy for
