A temperance meeting was held in the Court
House in this place, on last Sunday evening at
three o'clock, and after a short and appropriate
address, from Mr.. G. w. Buckner, a pledge was
handed round, to which some 81 persons signed
their names. This did not appear to be the eff
feet of a momentary excitement, but of a thor
ough conviction Of the p~ropriety of the course.
Most of our town are favourably disposed to-
wards the Washingtonian method of moral re-
form; yet some oppose, and it appears they
would do so ifone should arise from the dead and
plead lis cause. We rejoice, however, that our
young men are taking a decided stand in favor of
the cause! They have determined to rid them
selves forever of the temptation to dissipation and
vice. by wholly abstaining from all intoxicating
drinks. And who would not forgoe the pitifuf
qualification of dram drinking for the sake of be-
ing e~ternally fortified against the evils of intem-
perance?
1t is our most ardent wish that this refreshing
and soul cheering influence may spread through
the whole length and breath of the land-even
from the 'rivers to the ends of the EARTH.
Observation & experience teach US that there
is but one safe side in reference to this mat
ter-and that is, to touch not taste not Sc.
No man is secure who is in the constant or occa-
sional habit of drinking intoxicating liquors.
Such persons vainly imagine that after they have
until they can perceive the injury It is do
ing them, they will then ~ant to quit.-Fatal de-
no dram drinker will erer want to auit;-
judgement will tell him he ought to do so; but
his want will be to drink on. This truth should be
engraved upon a brazen tablet and hung under
he concave of the upper heavens, where all
might see and read.'
Since writing the above our correspondent, "a
LOCKER en-" has sent us q communication in ref.
srence to the Temperance meeting, which we in
'ert with pleasure.

CONGRESSIONAL
WASHINGTON. March IL, I84

SIN the Senate, after the reading of the
proceedings of yesterday, the President o.
the Senate presented a report from the Sec
letary of the Navy, in relation to American
water-rotted hemp, stating that the contract
under the resolution of September, 1871. had
not been complied with, and probable could
not be. The Secretary Of the Navy has
sent an agent to the West to make contracts,
if it can be done with safety.
"After the Morning business was over, the
special order was called for, being he reso-
lu'ions of Mr.. Clay upon the subject Of re-
trenchment, &c.
"Mr. Simmons, of Rhode Island, ad res
sed the Senate at considerable length.
"Mr. Calhoun replied very briefly. and
Mr. Woodbury. followed. Soon after which
the Senate adjourned.
''ln the House OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr..
Wise offered a resolution instructing the
Commitie on the Judiciary of establishing
some plan for the dirorcins Of the Govern
mcnt printing from the political press. The
resolution was adopted.
"Mr. Fillmore, as chairman Of the Com
miitee or Ways and Means, moved that the
general appropriation bill be now considered.
and that the House enter into Committee Of
the Whole for that purpose.
'Objections were made, but the motion
was sustained by a vote Of 50 to 8l-the
yeas and nays being ordered.
"Mr. Briggs, Of Massachusetts, resumed
the chair, and the debate proceeded upon
the items OF the DILL, commencing with a re-
solution TO strike out the appropriation of
about $500 for labor and fuel in the State
The motion to strike Gu. this
sum prevailed by a vote of 1870. The nays
were not counted.
"The next item Of the bill which created
any collision was a proposition to reduce the
sum of $4,000 allowed to the clerks to
$4,000. The motion was made by Mr..
Mckeon, and did not prevail.
GA new stumbling block was found in the
'ext item of appropriation. 1t proposed
$4,000 for the salary Of Mr.. Miller, of Penn
'ylvania, one of the auditors in the Treasu.
y Department.
Mr.. Stanly, of North Carolina, moved to-
out the appropriation, and on this mo-
ION a debate sprung up which occupied the
lme Of the House throughout the day.
"The debate was sustained by Messrs.
iolmes, Gushing, Underwood, Brown, of
pennsylvania, Wise, Profit, StanIy, and 9th {
rs. The debate was modelled upon the |
,any which have preceded it, and about as i
~rofitless. $
"Ihe motive for submitting the amend. t
tent was the fact that the auditor was n I
llthless officer, and had been proved to be
ne by the report of al investigating com.
l'ttee' based upon the authority Of Congress. b
lr. Wise was the author of this report, and i
sustained the charge to-day that the audi. d
'r was faithless and inefficient. o
"Mr. Brown made the defence. and wos o
'veral times upon the floor to save and de. :
nd his friend. The question became n
bod deal of a party one, and was without :
ny particular interest.
"The Committee was in session until half .
