THREE CASES IN HARTFORD!
Not of the Cholera' mu kind reader,
bh Of somethinS ,corse.

bu of something ac0rse.
The first case is that Of young mer-
chant, the ron ofa clergyman, educated
IN the fear of the Lord aud the love ofre.
lgion, furnished by Providence with tai.
ents of very high, commanding order
fascinating in his manners, surrounded by
a large circle of young associates, over
whom his influence is powerfully exertt d
and married to a lovely woman, who adds
to her other charms one, which her hus-
band does not possess, that Of genuine
piety. This young man, who has inter-
ested himself in many OF those benevolent
schemes which characterize our day as
one of active religion, and who in his hab-
its is perhaps as worthy ofimitaton as any
that can be found around him on the sub
iect Of that most important Of all reforms Of
modern timcs,-t temperance Reform,
lis singularly IN error. Temperate him
self on most occasions, ifnot on all, and
having witnessed the scarcely less than
miraculous triumph of the Temperance
cause by means of Temperance Societies,
he yet holds himself apart from all such
Societies, refusing to ally himself by pro-
iession with those to whom he is united in
principle, and thus denying by his con-
duct all faith in the force Of corporate or
associated example, or in the efficiency of
aggregated effort lie does no, wish TO
icler himself, or, 10 use tho Rev. poet,
Mr.. Pierponts phrase, diminish his mo-
ra freedom" by an obligation that in the
hour Of temptation might prevent bis in
diligence.

PROVIDENCE, May 81, 1888.
Respected Sir,-At meeting held in
this city on the 9th ult of persons fa-
vorable to the adoption in this State of the
.MassachuseHs mode Of Suffrage, the Sub
scribers were appointed prudential COM
mittee with an understanding that they
should report their proceedings at subse-
quent meetings.
For many years, the proposed plan has
been much on the minds OF some of tho
Committee, but whenever proposed, some
objection or other has always been inter
posed by the timid or the interested.
For four or five years past, the elec-
tion Of Jackson to the Presidency, has
been urged by majority of Gechoders
IN this State, as an insurmountable obec-
ton against Gensrol Suffrage, from the
wei! known fact that he was cmphatically
the choice Of the democracy or comn,o.A
people, and from their real or pretended
fears that he would use his military prow-
ess to subjugate the liberties Of the non
pie, and build a despotsm on their ruins
| Notwithstanding the Committee is COM
posed Of individuals of all parties now ex-
isting in the State yet thew all agree ,ba,
whatever differences o. opinion may ar
present prevail on minor political oues-
tons, yet that the real or pretended fears
alluded to, have been comp petely lysannihila-
TED, and .nat those who formerly urged
them, to defeat our enterprise, must nc.
Hfo" ledge one oftwo things eithor that
'he democracy of the country decided
safely in choosing our present Chief MAJ
glstratc, or having decided unsafely--tho
strength and purity Of our glo, ious repub-
lican Constitution is sufficient TO regu-
late any temporary error which the sys-
ten Of General Suffrage may occasion.
Soon after our appointment, our former
opposers not having the eflrontery to urge
their exploded objection, must needs ere.
ate new ones. The first was that "tbe
Massachusetts, moic &C outrage, would
RUN Rhode-lsland," and that "the hest
part of the citizens Of that State, regret
their extension Of Suffrage. and would
willingly adopt the Rhode IsInnd mooo
wero 1t practicable lor them to do so,n

Cases of Mr.. Smelling The jury rem
dercd verdict Of Guilty, yesterday, a
gainst VIM. j. Smelling, editor of the Ga
laxy, on the indictment for libel upon
Mr.. Justice Whitman ofthe Police Court.
He was, thereupon, sentenced by Judge
Thacher to pay fine Of $50, and be i'm
prisoned two months in the common Jail.
The indictment against the same editor
for libel upon Amos S. Allen, Jr. was
then called on for trial, which charged
the complainant with being gambler and
cheat. The jury acquitted the defe nd
ant on one part Of the charge, and found
him guilty on the other, but recommended
him to mercy on account Of his good mo-
tves in making the publication.
From the sentence in the case OF Judge
Whitman, the defendant took an appeal
to the Supreme Court--in the other, SEN
tence was deferred until next term.-Bost.
