TEE PEoPLH's LECTURES. This Course
having closed with Rev. E. ID. CHaPIN's ias'
Tuesday, its results may now be stated.
Its object, avowed from the outset, was the
wider and cheaper diffusion of the benefits OF
Popular Lectures, while the best Lecturers
should at the same time be more hoeraIiy re-
warded than had hitherto been usual. These
objects have been obtained. Though commenced
very late in the season, when none OF the most
popular Lecturers could be secured for several
weeks, while the weather on the evenings OF
the three or four first Lectures was exceedingly
bitter and the walking very bad, yet the average
attendance was greater than on any former Course
delivered in this City. Although three persons
were admitted for twenty Eve cents. yet the
average compensation to the Lecturers for each
Lecture was over sixty dollars, while three re-
ceived over 500 each for single Lecture.
Fourteen Lectures were given, commencing
Jan. 18th and ending March 3Oth. on the several
Tuesday evenings and on two Friday evenings
The total receipts OF the Course were 81 sO4
al.l00, and the payments were-To Lecturers,
ss46 75-lOO; for the Tabernacle, 1889; for Aa'
vertising, s573 7s-lOO; Net loss to the manage
uen,. SIS 32-l0O. There were no Contingent
Expenses, all the work of procuring Lecturers.
preparing Advertisements sending them around
for insertion, &C. having be n done for the good
of the cause. Some of the journals were not 90
literally paid for Advertising, as the management
would have desired but no debts remain uncan-
celed
These Lectures will be resumed next Az
tumn, and preparations viii be made to render
them effective and popular. We hope they may
succeed; for we do think the habit Of requiring
lecturers to give their time and audiences their
money for purposes of local, personal, or sscta-
rian Importance has been stretched somewhat
Besides, under the old plan, attractive and uhin-
tsresting Lecturers are paid alike, while IN this
Course each receives according to his power OF
commanding an audience. We hope the hint
will be improved in our sister cities, and to this
end commend it to general consideration.
The following Resolve was unanimously
adopted by the large audience which attended
Mr. Chapin's closing Lecture:
Resolrsd, That as an expression Of the popular
favor of these Lectures the thanks OF the People
are hereby rendered to the Committee of Arrange
nents for their successful labors in thus eHording
been offered to the public during the present season,
and pledge is hereby given to sustain them IN the
promised effort for another course Of cheap Lectures
next winter.

BEAUTIES OF THE FUGITIVE LAW
Commissioner Morton's administration of
the Law in Preston's case has settled two
important points of practice under the act
for the recapture of Fugitive Slaves
First: That a volunteer witness for the
slave-catcher may swear to what he pleases
on one side, but when cross.examined may
refuse to answer any question, and the Com.
missioner has no power to compel an an
swer.
Second: That Commissioner may hear
the testimony on the side of the claimant,
refuse to hear that the fugitive, close the
case, send the man into slavery, and there
IS no appeal from his decision.
Still, if the Law were to be amended, the
Union would be dissolved, and half . dozen
Presidential candidates Knocked in the
head.

We understand that some such adjust
ment of the Maine Law question as the
following is infuentially advocated at
Albany:
I. The passage Of the Law, to take
effect (contingently) one year from the LIST
of May.
2. The submission Of the same to the
People at Special Election to be held
some time in June or July next.
3. If the People vote Yes, the law to
take effect as aforesaid; if No, TO be con-
sidered dead letter.
We shall be very glad to take the law
in all its rigor even on such conditions. We
are confident that the People would sustain
it by a handsome majority, though we
should apprehend that the Legislature cho.
sen next Fall would repeal or bewitch it in
defiance of the Peoples sanction. (This
must be guarded against) But it is even
more likely that the affiliated Rumsellers of
our City, who have a fund adequate TO the
purchase Of two average Legislatures. will
not allow it to pass in any shape. We
shall see.

Coanecticut-Wroag.

The Wings have again lost Connecticut
-or rather, have not yet regained it. With
amajority of her voters in favor both of the
Wing policy and sfth Maine Law, vic.
tory has been secured TO the enemies of
both. Locally, brilliant gains have been
made for the Right, but generally the re-
suit is adverse. An Opposition Legisla-
ture has been secured, which will re-elect
Gov. Seymour, choose q U. 8. Senator of
like faith, and continue protection and i'm.
punity to the Rum Traffic, to which they
owe their triumph. We have still hope
that the House will be favorable to law es-
se0tial in principle and scope with that Of
Maine, but we have no hope that any such
enactment can be carried through such
Senate as has been chosen and escape the
Veto Of Seymour. The State, therefore, is
given over to Rum and its handmade for
another year.
That we are somewhat disappointed in
this result, we do not deny. We did not
hope that all the Wings of former years
could be induced to sustain candidates who
had planted themselves fairly On the Tenn
pxanee platform; but we did hope that
enough Temperance Democrats would
vote with The Wings fos the sake Of carry
hg the Maine Law to make up the defsc-
ton from our ranks caused by Rum. The
result proves that Interest and Appetite are
more potent to overbear party ties than
Principle and Philanthropy We believe

Missouri Election,


The returns of yesterdays elections indicate
success of the whole Wing ticket, with probably
three exceptions. The returns from First Ward
have not yet been received. Mr.. Kennett 10 re-
elected Mayor, by six hundred or seven hun
bred majority.
A disgraceful riot occurred in the lst Ward,
which resulted in the death of SIX persons. and
the woundins Of Ave or six others, by shots which
were fred from the windows OF German coffee
house. This hosse, In addition to one two other
buidings was entirely destroyed after the close Of
the polls The returning wd, when as the corner
of 7th and Park-avs. were ared upon from the VIII.
dow, OF Weikmeyer's Tavern. The windows and
doors were instantly broken In, and the crowd, on
raining access fired the building, which was burned
to the ground.
The crowd was again fred ON at the corner OF fatk
and Carondclet avs and member OF the ST. LOUIS
Fire Company was MORALLY wounded The heuse
from which the last shot was hred was instantly nd
died and tho crowd then pursued their way up to~n

Later at night the crowd collected around ne

up, yet we had lost the two preceding
elections by the detection Of Lquor-sellins
or Liquor-loving Wings, who went for Sey-
mour g. Co., in order to secure inPunlty for
the Rum Traffic. This was observed; 1t
could not fail to be resented. And after
Seymour had pocketed the Joins Resolution
of the last Legislature, submitting the policy
of Prohibition of the Liqusr Traffic to
direct vote of the People -still more: after
the glorious example Of MAINE and its
benefcent results had become widely known
it was no longer possible to keep the
Maine Question out of the canvass. With
so strong preponderance of earnest Wing
sentiment in its favor, any attempt to dodge
il would have led to formidable bolt or the
xiYlful absence of at least Five Thousand
Wbip voters from the poles. The course tn 1t
vas ultimately taken did not secure sue.
cess, but any other would have insured
mere overwhelming discontinue. We cheer.
fully admit that with regard to this contest
we were for the Maine Law first and for the
Wing cause next, as we shall be with re-
gard to all Legislative elections I'LL the Rum
question shall have been settled; but we
maintain that the coolest, the NEST i'm.
martial Judgment must unite in this convic-
| ton.
If, then, the Wing journals of Connecsi-
cut could have seasonably aud heartily pro-
secuted the canvass as it only coald be sue.
cessfully prosecuted-if they had all (as
some of them did) set forth forcibly and re-
poatedly the considerations of public policy
and general well-being which require
the passage of the Maine Law-if they
had published the Municipal Messages
and Reports, the letters of Neal Dow, Rev.
Mr.. Hadley, &C., showing the benehcent
results of the Maine Law in operation
we believe the State might have been car
ried. But they acted according to the
light they had-not all Of it received
through uncolored glasses-and they en-
tered upon the new phase of the State con-
test timidly, grudgingly, coldly-and lost.
We admit the difficulty and hazard Of a
countermarch in the face of an active,
powerful, INSCRIPTIONS enemy, but it is
sometimes necessary, as it was in this case.
| Undertaken without confidence and ex-
ecuted without alacrity, it could only result
in disaster.
Well-the true ground has been taken
the shock has been borRe-not, indeed, tri-
umphantly, but without dispersion. The
Wing party, Thirty Thousand strong, stands
square on the Maine Law platform, and has
only to resolve to stand steadily there to
achieve a signal and most benefcent tri-
umph. Let it only so deport itself in ad-
versity as to assure the Maine Law men
still clinging to hostile parties that its sue
cess will secure the overthrow of the Rum
Traffic, and its speedy triumph is certain.
Every days discussion, every days record
of the crimes and misexies resulting from
the RIM Traffic, mu.t Iuore and more con.
firm the majority in their resolution to pre-
tect themselves by law from the moral and
social devsstations Of which that Traffic is
the source. Emphatically, The Future is
Ours Let us prove worthy Of its noble
heritage. Onward /!
