LUND WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, January &c, 1912.
SIR-I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of this morning inviting me to attend
the Mass Meeting of the Temperance Societies to be
held this evening, and have to express my regret
that bad cold under which ! have abored for seve-
raj days past and which admonishes me against ex-
posure, will deny the pleasure of being present.
beg you, however, to assure those you represent
that feel the liveest interest in the efforts which
making, and with such extensive success to estab
shreguarty and order and temperance, and sobriety
in place of those wild bacchanaan orgies which
have consigned to premature graves thousands of hui
man beings who destined by their Creator to be
useful members of society in their day and genera
ton. Mothers, and wives, and children, and rea-
tves, and friends have cause to rejoice in the sue
cess which has far attended the efforts of the
Temperance Societies the Union and the pa
tro well the philanthropst do no less than
wish them entire in the great work of refor
nation which they have begun
BE pleased to tender to your brother members my
cordial salutations and accept for yourself assuran
ces of my respect

MIR. Christopher Cammack having been intro
duced gave thrilling experience" of the horrors
and evils attendant upon the practice of intemper-
ance He had sunk deep in the infattnton which
has led thousands to degradation, crime, and dis
graceful deaths which had covered the world with
suffering, starvation and rags which attacked and
destroyed the energy the industry the talents of
mankind which widespread and universal in its
desoating effects; and had once thought it was inn
him down the awful precipice to a drunkards grave
he had suffered much, and until lately he had thought
il impossible to abstain; repeatedly he promised to
stop pouring down the liquid poison; but without eff
feet The Total Abstinence Pledge and forever was
the only sure anchor of safety, He closed with an
appeal to all to come up and sign the pledge.
The Hon. Thomas +. Marshall was next announced
to the audience, and was received with sudden out
burst of pleasure, which the sacred walls of the
church could not restrain. The universal respect
and esteem entertained for the man, is acknowledged
In this city where he is but comparatively stranger

Mr.. Marshall first alluded to himself and said that
although the world and the press had seemed TO settle
the question, that he a drunkard, he must be al
lowed to say that such had never been his character
lie had never been in the habit of constant tipping,
Never taken his regular morning bitters His was

The Circassian., availing themselves Of the op
portuni,y, asssiled them fereely on every side,
and the Russians, separated from their stores
which had been carried out to sea, we're compel
led 10 commence a disastrous retreat through q
country consisting entirely of mountain, t0res
and defie.
With the exception OF Two thousand Who es
capped TO Anapa, the whole Of the thirty thousand
were killed or made prisoners; such are the ac'
counts received from Trebizond. Further de
tails of this tremendous disaster Of the Russians
are eagerly expected here.
The New York Correspondent Of the National
Tnielligencer Of January 18Th, says, Colts tra'
is the all absorbing topic Of discussion and con.
versatIon. The defence commenced to-day; and
all that know about it is, that II will. IN all hu,
man probability, resolve itself into a plea of Jnsti.
fable homicide. This plea, 10 my mind, is a
good one: and, under nlmos, all circumstances,
could be made good, if Col, had not attempted to
conceal The body by packing j, up, and shipping
it to New Orleans. As ii, is, however, and taking
all The facts of The case IN strong connexion,
doubt if The plea will avail much with the jury.
Public opinion and public denuuciutlon are all one
way in this matter, and that is in direct and open
hostility to Colt. There may bo many men "a
mong US who are decidedly of opinion that he
ough, to be acquitted; but popular clanor is So
violent that few arc willing 10 express any other
sentiments than those which are adverse to Colt.
| stand pretty much alone, | believe, ID the opIn-
ion that tho accused has not been guilty of the
crime OF murder.
!, to-day, was at The City Prison, and had the
melancholy pleasure Of holding an half hours con-
versaiion with Mr.. Charles T.. Mitchell. ] am
sorry to say thai Mr.. NJ. is in very had health;
and l fear that If he be not speedily removed from
his confinement, death will ono to the rescue,
relieve all his sutfcrings. If he had Il few
friends who would risk a few hundred dollars, he
could be admitted to bail. OF his guilt or inno-
cence | know nothing, | knew him IN his palmy
and hapP, days; he was then "a man, and it
pains me to witness his present suiferings, though
guilty he may be.

DAVID

We regret the necessity which requires US e
notice This gentleman, our most grave and reVe
Send Senator; but n sense Of duty impels US TO It
Previous TO the meeting Of The Legislature IN IFS
late Session, we Informed the people OF Wayne
county, that a petition wonld be presented to tho
Senate, asking that David Hoover, might not be
permitted TO hold a seat in that body, as he was
not constilutionally entitled to the same. The
petition was prepared-wE signed it and at OUR
solicitation several others If our citizens done
the same. We took the responsibility, and we
have nov no regrets for having done so. 1t was
done in an homes, oesire TO maintain inviolate the
constitution Of the state, and not from a desire to
deprive Mr.. Hoover entirely Of his seat. We
stated in our FIRST notice of the subject, that we
would oppose the election Of any other person
than tho presen, incumbent, in case no was de-
prived Of his seat and was q candidate for re-e-
lection. The petition was forwarded to u friend
in tho legislature, and for reasons which we pre-
sumo are satisfactory to those who signed the
petition, it was not presented. We still be-
Iieve that David Hoover had no right to a seat
in The Senate aud we still believe hat he did not
resign HE Office Of Judge until after the election.
Now after the legislature Is closed he comes out
in bravado! telling US that we may send as many
memorials as we please, &c. Why vas not this
said before the adjournment of the legisiature!
Had it been, we assure Mr.. David Hoover that
the petition would have been presented, and he
expelled. The noble Senator was afraid to
whisper before he was out Of the woods. He,
coward like, awaits unti! i, is too late for him to
be reached. Or like a JiSte runs undc. shelter,
and then turns round and barks ns vchementiy
a. a little dog well can. Such conduct IS unbe-
coming q man-at least an honorable and an
honcst man.

The steam ship Britannia arrived at % 'ston on

por,ancc, except intelligence OF the appointment
Of Lord Ashburton as a special Minister TO the

burton is known in his country as Alexander Bar
ing, Of that extensive mixing firm of London

ham) is an American by birth. We are inclined
to believe that the Efforts of this special Minister
will be cxerted to maintain tho peace Of the two
countries. He is an extensive holder of Ameri
can stocks aud securities, he will therefore be
prompted by personal! and private interest &c
maintain peace between the two Goyornments
We see no good reason, however. that these ne
goiia,ious could not have been made with our
Minister resident at The Cour; Of England. Mr..
Everett is clothed with full power, and is entire
iy competent 10 the duty. We would rather have
entrusted The business TO him than TO the Cabi-
net at WashIngton-toO many OF that body, III
