We clip the following article from
the Marietta Intelligencer, and COM
mend it to our readers for perusal.
The writer Of it, Hon. G. w. WooD-
BRIDGE, our readers will remember
was urged by his friends to permit his
name to be used as candidate for
Congress in that District, some
months since, not only because his
talents we'll fitted him to fill that sta
ron, but on account Of his devotion
to the great cause of Temperance.
This honor he declined, but it would
seem he is determined to aid in the
great work, in his private capacity, by
trying to disseminate Temperance
reading amongst his people. We
hereby tender him, and all others of
his county, our cordial thanks, for the
interest they manifest in our behalf:
To THE TEMPERANCE MEN OF WASH
INGToN CoUNTY.-Sonething like a
year since an effort was commenced,
which promises to be in the highest
degree successful, to establish in Ohio,
a well conducted Temperance journal
under the name of "the Organ Of
the Temperance Reform" After the
experience of twelve months the pub
Usher has made the gratifying an
nouncement to his patrons that he
contempIotes to enlarge and other
wise improve the forthcoming second
volume, which commences early in
January. The paper is under the
editorial charge of Gen. s. F. Cary,
and Mr.. G. s. Whitewell, both known
as Jealous and able champions Of the
cause Of Temperance.
In these days when the battles and
triumphs Of the great Temperance re.
form give to journals devoted to the
cause peculiar interest, who among
us ean well do without such journals

IMPERFEcT POLICE ORGANIZATIONS -
The Memphis Eagle, in noticing a
robbery in that city, says that most
Of the robberies which take place
there, result from the negligence Of
the authorities in not providing a
more effective organization of the city
police. Similar complaints abound
in newspapers from almost every part
of the Union.-Cin. Gdz.
Why will not our public presses
aserIbe the increase Of crime to the
truc caAse
A wen organized police is indis-
pensable to prevent, and to ferret out
and arrest violators Of law, but a po-
lice cannot perform impossibilities.
If a city is infested with grogshops,
crime Of every hue viii necessarily be
perpetrated. Crimes arc committed
not in proportion to the number d
yigilant police officers, but in exact
proportion to the facilities for procur'
ling whiskey. Take away this prince
Of villains, and you may dismiss YOU
police, and not one half the crimes
win be pepetruted, as now
Multiply police officers indefinitely
keep open grogshops, and outlaws vii
increase.

For the Organ of Temperance Reform.
To Subordinate Divisions,

Many of the Divisions and most of
the counties of the State, have failed
to nominate brethren for the Office of
D. G. w. P. Unless this matter is
speedily attended to, we shall be un-
der the necessity Of sending out com
missions to the Deputies of last year.
in many instances we are aware such
appointments would not meet the
wishes of the Order. Will those
Divisions and counties in which Dep
uties have not already been appointed
Immediately formed suitable names
to Bro. Bremigam, G. S., at Circle
vile By SO doing, they will render
themselves an essential service, and
do us a kindness.
Deputies are requested to report
promptly TO me at this office, as direc
ted by their commissions.

The following eloquent passage, IS

half Of the Maine Las, BY IS. Steph-
enson, Of Boston
Portray the evils Of intemperance
did I say lie does not live that can
tell the whole story Of rs woes. Ex-
aggeration there IS impossible. The
fatigued fancy falters in its flight be.
fore il comes up to the facts. The
minds eye cannot trace in the count
less miseries Of it's motley train. No
human heart can put into the picture
shades darker than the truth,
sBut into such apieture every con-
ceiYable thing that is terrible or re-
voting; paint health in ruins, hope
destroyed, affections crushed, prayer
silenced--paint the chosen seats Of
palernal care, filial piety, Of brother
" love, Of maternal devotion oil, all
vacant paint all the crimes Of every
statute, Of every hue, from murder
aHding aghast over a grave which
10 means TO cover, down TO the
eanest deception, slill confident Of
success paint home d desert, and
shame a tyrant, and poverty the Ie-
gitimate child Of vice IN this com
munity, and riotits prolific mother -
paint the dark valtey Of the shadow
Of death, peopled with human slaves
paint landscape with trees whose
fruit is poison and whose shade is
death with mountain torrents tribu-
tary to an ocean whose waves are fire
put up in the most distant back
ground the vanishing vision Of a
blessed past, and into the foreground
the terrible certainty of an accursed
future paint prisons with doors that
open only inward ; people the same
with men whose shattered forms are
tenanted by tormented souls; with
children upon whose lips no smile car
play and women, into whose cheeks
burrows have been burnt by tears
wrung by an anguish from breaking
hearts, Paint such picture, anC
when you are ready to show it, dc
not let in-rays Of the heavenly sun
but illumine it with the internal fires
and still you will be bound to say tha
your horrible picture falls short of the
truth"

plying to the Pension Office for Bounty Land. UNI
der the Of 22d nj rich, 1852. entitled San act
to make Bounty Land Warrants assignabte, and
for other purposes" is published in connexion
with the act itself r
This form is only far variant from that pre-
scribed under the act OF 2Sth September, 1901, as
to adapt it To the recent act of March 22d.
The Declaration must be sworn to before some
justice OF the peace or other officer authorized TO
administer oaths fur general purposes, who must
certify the same.
The official character and signature Of the ma
gistrate Who may administer the oath must be GER
tilted by the clerk of the proper court of record Of
his county, under the seal of the court
Such certificate must accompany epay case.
1t will be perceived, that in the 4th section OF the
act of 22d March, no provision is made for widows
or minor Children but only for the party who rem
dered the service.
The service contemplated by the act is that
rendered under n call by the authorities of any
State TO rcpel apprehendcd hosttics from any To-
reign government or Indian tribe, and whose SER
vices have been paid for by the United States sub.
sequent to the 18th June, 1872.
II should be specially noted that no one whose
service was recognised by any previous act can
claim under this, except where his mileage has
Hence, if the soldier has rendered such service as
would enttlc him to forty acres, any other
amount, under previous law, he cannot claim an
increased quantity for other services first rccog-
Missed by this act.
Ii the applicant desires to avail himself OF the
9th section Of the act, he must, in his declarations
state the place at which he was enrolled With his
company, the distance thence 10 the point at which
he was mustered into service, the place at which
he discharged, and the distance thence to the
place of his original enrolment. II must also be
clearly shown, by the testimony OF persons certi-
fled to be credible that his statements in these
spects are true, and the witnesses should specify
the manner in which they obtained their infor ma
ton }. Il. HEATH,
