We are glad to see, by the annexed
article, that Brother John Grener was at
least aiUe on the list of March last. His
humorous account, however, is no farther
indication as to the state Of his health.
He must be i'll, indeed, to forego his Jest.
We wish he would give US more certain
and direct assurances Of his welfare.
VACANCY FOR A DocToR.-Greiner, the
Indian Agent in New Mexico, wrote home
on the 3lst of March, that he knew of an
opening for an enterprlsing physician: a
vacancy had happened, and he told how,
One of the Eutaws, on the San Juan River
was taken sick, and an Indian doctor from
the Rio Verde, was called in to attend
him. Owing to the strength of the dis
ease, or the weakness of the prescription
of the doctor, the patient died and was
buried. After the funeral the doctor was
taken by the friends of the deceased tied
up, shot and scalped his wife's hair was
cut off; his house burned, containing all
his property, and all his animals killed
This is the law among these Indians, re.
gulating doctors. The vacancy is yet
untitled.

7 emperance in Seneca County

Last week, we made two lengthy ad-
dresses on Temperance, at Tifin. We
spoke particularly of the Maine Law, it's
features, and adaptation to Ohio, its con-
slitutionality, and necessity. The mass
of the people are German, and are little
behind the age on this subject. Our au-
diences were very large, and remarkably
attentive and respectful. We think de-
cided impression was made in favor Of
the law. On vote being taken, at the
close of our last speech, all expressed
themselves in favor of the Maine Law by
rising to their feet. The Senator and
Representative from that district, are I'M
derstood to be opposed to Legislation on
the subject. We mistake their eonstitu.
ents, if they are not weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting.

The Rev. John Pierpont, who is one. Of
the mighty champions Of the Temper
ance reform, on one occasion, at Tenn
perance meeting, pronounced the follow
ing:
"l'd rather black my visage o'sr
And put the gloss on boots and shoes
Than stand within liquor store,
And wash the glasses drunkards use."
A rum seller present heard the Doctor,
and he could not escape the echo of these
words. He dreamed of them at night,
aud when he awoke in the morning he
could think of nothing else. When the
loafers came in to get their morning bit
tiers, and he rinsed the glasses, he thought
Of "Id rather black my visage o'er,"
and his heart would tell him, 1t is mean
business. AT length, stout, lusty Afri-
can, called for his dram, and he deposited
the three cents in his drawer, repeating
the stanza to himself, with this involun-
lary variation
"And wash the glasses niggers use."
1t was too much for him, he took down
his sign, poured the liquor into the street,
and became a decent citizen. What
honest man on earth could do otherwise
than did ihis rumseller. The backing OF
boots and shoes is an honest occupation,
whatever may be thought of its dignity
The trade of liquor selling is neither dig
niied nor honest, nor has it any quality
that should save it from everlasting re-
proach We do not know how others
feel, but honestly, we would rather be
the upright "boot-black, " or the son OF
such an one, than to rinse glasses for
drunkards, or have our father do so mean
service. The slaye-driver is looked
upon as rather vile specimen OF human.

TEMPER NCE DEBATES.

The Philadelphia Annual Conference Of the Me
thodst Episcopal Church, held at Philadelphia, al
journed On Friday evening, after session OF nine
days. Some portion of its time was occupied in
discussing the subject of Temperance, that question
being presented in series of resolutions in favor
of the g Maine Liquor Law" The subject was
finally laid upon'the table, the majority deeming il
unadvisable to commit the conference, as confer
ence, upon this or any other political measure The
members, individually, it is said, very heartily ap
proved evenaof a prohibitory law.
The Legislative debate on the same question in
the House of Assembly of New York was brought
to close on Thursday last, when the bill was or
dered to third reading by vote of 81 to Be-

THE CUBAN TRIALS AT NEW YORK.

The case of the United States VS.. John L. O'Sul-
liyan and A. j. Lewis, which for twenty-four days
had been on trial in the United States Court for the
Southern District of New York, before Judge JUD-
SON, was on Saturday committed to the jury.
In his charge to the jury Judge JUIsoN ruled
out the evidence of BURNETT. He charged the
Jury that they must consider whether the parties

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION OF GEORGIA.

We some days ago stated the nature Of the pro-
ceedmgs had by the Democratic State Convention
of Georgia, which assembled last week At Milledge-
Vile. 1t was sthinly attended, more than half the
counties in the State being unrepresented. Nothing
was done except the appointment of forty Delegates
to the Democratic National Convention, the sele0
ton Of Presidential Electors for the State and the
adoption Of resolution re-afhrming adherence to
the resolutions Of the Democratic National Con
yention Of 1s4S> 1t expressed no preference fo
any candidate fer the Presidency.
We to-day advert to these proceedings for tlr
purpose of saying, that in former notice of them
we were misled in supposing that they emanated
from Southern Rights Democratic Convention"
of which error we are now apprized by the official
report of the proceedings, as well as by of the
leading Democratic papers of the State the Savan-
nah "Georgian," the Editor OF which states, he
having been present at the Convention that it was
ia Democratic Convention, containing members
"known few months since as Southern Rights
Democrats and Union Democrats"
The Convention, it will be observed, took no mo-
tice whatever of the " Compromise measures" which
are not even named in its proceedings. This oms-
sion, by " Democratic Convention" we presume
is all right, and we only alude to the Circumstance
with view to chronicling the fact that it is th
