NEWPORT.
Thursday, Dec. 2J, 1884:
WHIG STATE CONVENTION.

The Wings in the several towns in the
State, are requested to elect Delegates to
meet in Convention at the Courthouse in
Providence, OH Wednesday the 18th January,
1885, at 6 o'clock p. NJ. for the purpose OF
forming Prox of General Officers, to be
composed of men of sound, unwavering Wing
principles. Each town will elect the same
number of Delegates as it sends Representa-
tives to the General Assembly. 1t is of the
highest Importance that every town in the
State should be fully represented in the Con-
vention.

keys of the Report, it may be proper to state
| in conclusion, that it is understood that the
investigation into the affairs Of the Bank was
mainly conducted by Messrs. Tyler, and
Mangum, with the occasional attendance
and aid of the other members Of the commit
tee. The two gentlemen whom we have
named, have, we believe, given the greater
part oftheir time. since the last ad djournment
Of Congress, to this important subject. The
Report, we understand, was drawn up by
Mr. Tyler.
When this matter was disposed of, the Sc
nate adjourned to Monday.
In the House of Representatives, the de-
bate whether a resolution for remitting the
duties on imported locomotive engines or
any parts thereof should be referred to the
Committee of Ways and Means or TO the
Committee on Manufactures, was continued
through the allotted hour. The rest of the
day was spent on the bill for equalizing the
pay of the officers Of the Navy.
. The Senate did not sit on Friday. In the
House, the resolution for remitting duties on
locomotive carriages, &c, was after further
debate, laid on the table by vote of 1913 to
s5; after further ordinary business, the House
adjourned to Monday.

Capt. Walter Crocker, Of Boston, says
that the men "will unquestionably be
better in any possible case, without spir-
it as a drink" and there is better subor-
dination, better health, and more happi-
ness and content withoutit.
Captain Richard Girdler, Of Marble
head, commanded a temperance ship
from Il 1875 to 1889. He found that "his
crew could endure more, that they sul-
fered less, and performed greater labor,
without ardent spirit than with it,"
. a number of other masters of vessels
testify to the same effect, and their evi-
dence is conclusive, that under no cir
cumstances whatever, is benefit derived
from tho use Of ardent spirits at sea as
drink; but that Oh the contrary it is al
ways injurious.
1t is gratifying fact that the cause of
temperance has made such progress,
that while formerly it was considered
part of the contract to furnish grog, now
the custom is fully established in the
port of Boston the other way, and there
is no difficulty in shipping crews on the
principle Of total abstinence. OF one
hundred and eighty-six vessels in the
whale fishery, from New-Bedford, one
hundred and sixty-eight are temperance
vessels, and eighteen out of thirty in the
merchant service.

( d,op of ardent Spirit could not but bless
made our happy people to dwell in such COIN
| parative safety. Never was there louder
call OH all good citizens to discountenance
the use of ardent spirit, than is now present.
cd b, them in these facts. The overseers un-
doubtedly thought they could confne the men
to what is called the temperate use Of
whskey; but the appetite once excited, and
it is irresistible. The Bishop OF Boston once
| told me sit was in vain to reason with the
Irish population, so long as you place the
temptation before them at every corner, and
dealt it out to them while they we're in your
employ; and the only remedy was in cutting
off the possibility of thoir obtaining it." l
congratulate you on having used, effectually,
your influence in Massachusetts, to build rail
roads without any intoxicating drink: and am,
with great regard, your friend, Il.
of the foregoing correspondent, in regard
to the orderly behavior Of the laborers
employed Oh the Worcester, Providence
and Lowell Rail Roads, we take plea
sure in mentioning: that since the COM

grea public works at Fort Adams, in
this harbor, under the able superinten-
dence Of Col. TorTEN, where, for the
most part, from three to five hundred
Irish laborers have been constantly em-
ployed, in no single instance, has the
least disorderly conduct been exhibited
among them-the rules and regulations
by which they arc governed, strictly pro-
hibiting the use of intoxicating drink
In fact, so strict we believe, are the rules
in regard to the incorporate use Of liq-
uor, that when once laborer ma es his
appearance upon the works under its
pernicious influence, he is forthwith ex-
PEELED, and cannot under any Pretence,
receive employment on them again. The
effect Of this salutary regulation, con-
tras,ed with the bloody scenes described
or the Baltimore and Washington Rail
Road, arising from the free use OF ardent
spirits, is most strikingly apparent, md
speaks volumes in favor of the Cause Of
Temperance.

In the October number Of the North
American Review, there is an excellent
article on Tempe, anee, which contains
facts and opinions derived from the fifth
annual Report Of the New York State
Temperance Society, Of a valuable and
most encouraging character. The re-
view relates chiefly to temperance on
board our merchant vessels. The exec
utive committee Of the New York Soc-
city recently addressed to a number of
ship owners and ship masters a series OF
questions, to obtain evidence as to the
effects Of the use Of arden: spirits. The
answers contain information of the high
est interest.
Captain David NJ. Bunker, command =
ing the ship Neva, Of New-York, states
that spirit is no longer laid in among
stores, and that he never derived advan-
tage from having furnished it to his men.
lie now sometimes furnishes coffee as
substitute, and when in stolmy weather
it cannot be prepared, ginger and wa
ter.
Captain Caleb Curtis, for twenty years
a mariner and shi pmaster, used to fur
nlsh his men with spirits, but does so no
longer; nor does he find that seamen arc
more reluctant to ship OH board temper
ance vessels since it has become custo-
mary not to furnish grog. He thinks
that more than one half of the vessels
that sail out of the port Of Boston, take
no spirits.
Captain Edmund Gardner, retired
shipmaster of Bedford, states It as
the result Of his experience, acquired in
ten voyages to the Pacific, in all capac-
tiles, that ardent spirits are entirely un-
necessary and worthless as anii-scor-
butte. lie says that water can be pre-
served sweet and good two years, in as
hot weather as to be found in any part Of
the globe.

RIOTS ON THE BALTIMORE AND wAsHISGTor
RAILROAD.
Extract Of a Letter to the Editor, dated
BALTIMORE, DEC. 6, Is

BALTIMORE, DEC. 6, 1884.
The late riots, murders, and firing Of dwell
ling houses and barns, on the Baltimore and
Washington Rail Road, have been the prin-
cipal subject Of conversation in this city, and
vicinity, for some weeks past; and on my ar
rival from the good land of steady habits, |
made many inquiries into the causes of such
unparalleled outrages, but no one could give
any other reply, than that it proceeded from
the Irish laborers at work on the Rail Road,
who had been fighting all summer among
themselves, and now had put to death two Of
their overseers, set fire to some buildings
and threatened to destroy others, Sc. then
went on to the ground where these outrages
took place-saw Gen. -, and Capt. -,
both Of whom were Oh duty, arresting the ag-
gressors, and defending their friends and
ncighbors. From one Of these gentlemen, |
ascertalned some facts, in relation to the tur-
bulence of the lrshmen, which | think will
interest not only your readers, but all gentle
men connected with rail roads. 1t is that
chiskey has been the origin and cause of all
the difficulty which has occurred in this Sec
ton of country among the workmen. The
contractors, under the mistaken belief no
doubt, that they could get more work from
men plentifully supplied with whiskey, gave
it to them free ly several times day. They
became quarrelsome; and as the consequence

through the country. My informants, who
POSSESSED the best means of information, and
who can be named, if neediul, assured me
the sole CAUSE OF all the difficulty was The use
Of piiSkey among The icJoycrs-for after they
became accustomed to it they purchased and
had barrels Of it for their private usc and
such a scene of turbulence and blood as has
been seen Oh the Baltimore and Washington
Rail Road, has rarely, il ever been Witnessed
in this country. The terrified inhabitants
were flying from their houses, when passed
through the county, and nothing but the /
withdrawal of the laborcrs from the road can.
in their opinion, enable them to return with
safety. \
