TEMPERANcE.-Th meeting of The Freeman's
Vigilant Total Abstinence Society on Friday
evening last, was Of an unusually interesting
character. The Medical College was crowded
with an attentive and orderly assemblage, and
the meeting was ably addressed by several gen.
tlemen. The remarks of the Honorable John
J. Hardin, Of Illinois, were most feeling and
appropriate, and produced deep sensation.
An accession Of fifteen or twenty names was
made to the pledge.

81 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1914.
The Senate did moi sit To-day.


:
The debate upon the validity Of the general
ticket elections was continued.
Mr. NORRIS, OF N. III, tone Of the four States)
maintained his right under the consolidated ticket
return. He said that ii was complained that this
question was made a,party one, but who made il
so--who came here at the opening Of the session
and protested en- nasse against the right of the
four States to their Representatives, declaring
that they were here in defiance of all law and
order! FIh 81 ,sE
1t was said that the district system was the
true democratic system, but he denied it, and
asked how it would operate With the great State
Of Pennsylvania in the coming Presidential cleo
ton, if that election should be ultimately thrown
into this House. Suppose I've humby appre-
bend very improbable suppositon] that State
should give $4,000 majority for Mr.. Van Buren,,
still the vote Of Pennsylvania i'm this House would
be given against him. stt
Mr.. CfAPPELL, Of Ga, addressed the House.
He is the only Wing, we believe, who has taken
ground in favor of the report Of the majority. His
argument was cast in State rights mould and
was in favor Of excluding the Federal Govern
ment from all direction ia The State elections
Mr. C. dwet much upon the point that, as in the
construction of statutes where life and liberty
were at hazard, the benefit of all doubts belonged
to the persons, so, in this case, ought the bene-
fits to inure to the people. and the construction
of the Constitution made in such wise as to favor
popular rights at
Mr.. CATLIN, of Conn, read to the House a
| speech in defence Of the general ticket system.
We did not listen to much of the composition,
but judged, from what we heard, that it was in
tended for circulation in Connecticut, being upon
general party politics. NJ e.t
Several other members addressed the House,
but no action was taken on the question at issue.
The edict of the majority. we learn. has gone
forth that this debate must be closed on Tuesday
