MovIrn Coppon ArIoNs-Atl last the voice Of public
Justice begins to lift itself up against the enormous
frauds and other rogueres, which have been per-
petrated under the name of charters and incorpo-
rations Yesterday the Grand Jury in making its
final return to the Court of Sessions, closed with
the following paragraph
The Grand Jury regret that the frauds and
Wholesale robberes that have lately been perpetrated
those who have been entrusted with the property oil
anes and other moned corporations have not yet been
brought under their notce-and that while they have
been occupied in bringing the smaller offenders to justice
men who have grown rich upon the spolls Oh the pun
dered, should escape the judgment OF the law.
We have every reason to believe that the next
Grand Jury will take up all the broken Banks and
Trust Companies of New York, and begin the real
execution of justice.
INCIDENT AT THE TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION
Rather an amusing incident occurred at the
temperance celebration, in the Tabernacle, on
Thursday last in consequence of the remarkably
inudicious conduct of Mr. Pierpont, in making an
altogether uncalled for and fulsome allusion to
Dan O'Connell, which very properly received
marked disapprobation from the intelligent portion
of the large audience assembled on the interesting
occasion. Mr.. Levin, of Philadelphia, also, in his
subsequent address, alluded, in terms OF pointed re-
buke, to the improperly Of minglng any political
illusions with the advocacy of a cause which is en-
phatically free fiom all sectarianism all feeling Of
partzanship.
BY the way, speaking of the temperance move
ment, why is it that the clergy of this city hold
aIoof from il? Here we have these divines calling
out, Sunday after Sunday, against the immortality
of the press, and the immortality Of the age. but
what are they themselves doing in the great work
of reform? Here, in this temperance movement,
they are utterly inactive. The Woodworking me-
chanic, the humble layman of the middling and
lower ranks of society, are the efficient, perse-
verng, faithful laborers in this great work of be-
nevoence and reform, whilst the clergy are, with
few exceptions, silent, slumbering, and inactive.
And can they point, in this alone, to any such
exertions on their part, those made by that very
newspaper press which they are accustomed to
vile!
1t is curious to remark, that it was in Ohio that
the first total abstinence society was formed. This
was at Niles, Trumbull county, in that State, IN
1869 or 1910. Ohio has given birth to many other
great national movements. Here the song-singing,
og-cabin campaign, which resulted in Harrison's
triumph commenced. Here, too, the ultra notions
of Fourier have taken the deepest root The
''Western Reserve" is peopled by a great many
men from New England, who are certainly, if not
sound, at least bold thinkers. Ultra views on all
subject prevails amongst them The honor Of
originating the temperance movement, however,
will, in the opinion of all the friends of morality
and mankind, outweigh vast deal of extravaganza
in other matters.

ders of the mails to the South, we have received

To the Editor of the New York Herald.
We know Doctor Jones well, and we believe he
is an attentive, correct and obliging officer The
negligence therefore, of which we complain, takes
place at the depot in Washington. We know it
does not exist in the newspaper department of the
New York Post Office. Who are agents at the
Washington depot? Let us know.
