beat of drum was needed to bring them back. Let
them to first principles, and form anew into

Temperance, who have borne the burden and heat
Of the day hold on their way, and wax stronger and

that it is not subject for the pulpit. but remember
the example Of who preached Temperance, as
well as Righteousness aud judgement to come
Let them remember who has said that the drunkard
shall not inherit the kingdom Of God, and warn
men. rhe cause of Temperance must not, cannot
be separated from that of true religion. The mo-

connection with the means, and motives, and iniu-
ences Of the Gospel of Christ. With you, as spe-

general subject it belongs in virtue of your office,
and it never be properly safely excluded from
the pulpit. And when it shall thus be shown, that
not only individual interests but the general good,
and the principles of true liberty, and the organic
laws Of God. but also the teachings and sanctions
of the religion of Christ all coincide with the prin-
cples of this cause then may we hope for its full
and final triumph and for the enjoyment, in much
larger than before, and for generations
to come, of the true blessings Of the social state.

Of which falling, a correct account could not be
kept. Thus Clerks Of Court were required 10
make returns to the Clerk OF the General Assembly
Of all State causes, entered on the dockets &c,
and before the revision in 1890, the Clerk Of the
General Assembly was required TO transmit the
original returns, after he had entered them on the
journals ofthejouse, to the Treasurer Of the State
All this done TO the Treasurer to charge
States Attorneys in account. BY the act Of 1899
the Clerk Of the General Assembly is not required
TO transmit these returns TO the Treasurer. BY
Section 10th, Chapter Sth Revised Statues, il was
the duty ofthe Treasurer to commence suit against
a States Attorney who had been delinquent, within
80 days after the close Of each stated session Of the
Legislature and if he neglected TO do, che
should be accountable for such delinquency in the

The Terrible--largest War Steamer in the
World.

The Terrible, war steamer, is in commission,
and now fitting for sea, at Woowich she has 30
guns mounted also brass field piece and carriage,
and wagon for powder to accompany it. On her
upper deck, each side the bow, are two long So
Founders, Monks ! | feet guns, TO fire fore and aft
in line with the keel these are mounted on a
slide and will cross fire with each other, and also
sweep round to the side; two more of the same
guns right aft in the STERN will also and sweep
to the broadsde on their pyots, so to fire for
ward, acting as chase guns if required. u
She has two 90 Founders on each broadside, to
carry shells or solid shot, which can be trained fore
and abaf according to circumstances. On the
deck below, which is also flush fore and aft, are 8
guns, viz two long SO FOUNDERS Monks guns, | |
feet long, in the bow parts, TO fire IN line with the
keel, and two Of the same guns in the stern, right
aft, which can give such depression as to prevent
even small boat from coming under her stern
with four guns GO Founders, on her broadsides for
shells or solid shot. There four smaller guns
on the upper deck TO be trayersed to any place, or
carried on shore in her paddebox boats, if requir-
ed for use in landing troops, &c,
She has four separate boilers, independent OF each
other which may be connected when required four
tunnels, one to each boiler; the two after ones
strike down so as to allow square mainsa to be
set while sailing and still using the two foremost
boilers, thus working half her power at the same
time saving considerable consumption Of Goals
This is an excellent contfiyance, there are fouI
small tunnels instead Of one large one which is
great advantage, as the ship will not be wholly dis
abed by losing one two or even three funuels as
the one funnel ship would be on hers being carried

ell Hoar-a committee appointed for that purpose
by the State Temperance Convention.
We are now prepared to look at the character Of
The traffic, and Of all Of property by which il is
promoted. This has indeed, for a considerable
time. been settled The moral character of any
business must be determined by the consequences
of that business and by the motives of those who
are engaged in it. Thus tested, it is easily shown
that there is not business earth, not even the
slave trade, that is more wicked deiesiabe. 1t
cannot be pretended that the consequences of the
sayetrade worse than those of the traffic in n-
toxicatng drinks, and the motive is precisely the
same In neither case is il a direct desire to pro-
duce the miseres that follow but it is a selfish and
reckless determination, like that of the thief or the
highway robber, to get money without regard to the
consequences to others. Without reference to the
vile compounds and Infamous frauds of the traffic.

Neither do we ask for any laws which shall pre-.
scribe what a man may eat or drink But we do
ask that all sanction of law may be withdrawn from
business which panders publicly to an artificial
and vicious appetite, the qualification OF which en-
dangers the lives. and taxes the properly, aud
rupts the morals Of the community. We ask that
such business may be prohibited, whetherin cities
villages, whether in hotels cellars public

We think that it is both right and expedient to
pass laws against such business, and to enforce
those laws, and we believe that every community
that has just of its rights and its duties
ireemen, and as patriots will do So
II is not enough, when the stage is a wreck, and
limbs broken, that the consent of the driver
obtained to bargain which caused the calamity
1t is not enough that the consent of the husband
and father are obtained when he parts with his last
cent for rum, while his wife aud children are star
wing and in rags. He is lured on to do il for his
money, on the same principle and by the same
means an animal is entrapped for bis skin and
that is vicious legislation which allows man-traps to
be set in the community. 1t is not enough that the
consent OF youth Of sixteen is obtained to bar
gain. in consequence of which he is carried home
drunk. What parent, if he were called TO decide
whether his sou should be smitten down by the hand
Of an assassin while his eye bright, and his
cheek fresh, aud his character fair, or whether he
should be lured on to become drunkard, and TO
live aud die so, would hesitate a moments Has
then such parent no rights Can he have no pro-
lection against that which is than the assassi-
nation of his SOM That community ought never
to exist which cannot hold up the protecting shield
OF law when such rights attempted to be stabbed
by the hand Of crafty sel6shness.

In view Of the third obstacle we say a word to
those engaged in the traffic. We have said that
they act from mistaken views Of interest, because
though individual men may have become rich by
it, some have by gambling yet the statistics Of
the business show that the men and their families
who have been engaged in it are not those who
have been permanently prosperous and that the pro-
portion of them who have died drunkards has been
feurfuliy great TO all those engaged in this traf
hc, or who receive rent or profit from it in an,
way, we would say that their business is an immor
