Practical Lectures.

The Police Court of Cincinnati
would be good place for those to at
tend, who are not afraid Of being con-
vinced that the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors ought to be prohibited. Were
it not for theinfuence of coffee houses,
the Court would not have business
enough to occupy it one day in the
week. The reports of the Court in
the daily papers show this. Disor-
derly conduct and drunkenness make
up nine-tenths Of the cases; and
scarcely ever is there an exception
from the rule, that drunkenness makes
the disorderly conduct. The other
day, during the trials in the Police
Court, Judge Spooner delivered a
practical lecture on the evils and ef-
fects of intemperance, in which he
made this marked point-th in forty
cases of crime and misconduct brought
before him, as many as thirty-nine
were the results of drinking ardent
spirits. This is a striking admonition
to the indiscreet, for no man has a bet
ter opportunity of becoming acquaint-
ed with the living examples Of wretch
edness produced by intemperance,
than the Judge of the Police Court.
one,Of our daily papers, which is
with all its might against The Name
Law, says Of the Police Court:
/ Scarcely a morning comes that
/ there are not from dozen to twenty
/ bloated inebriates and decayed female
votaries of wine and harlotry brought
there for trial and judgment"
/ And this very state of things, this
some newspaper is determined to pro-
long. The people Of Ohio will not sub
NIT to the infiction. They are deter
mined to try the virtues of prohibition.

Our Sunday Meetings.

On Sunday last, agreeable to pre-
vious notice, our Bros. Williams and
Edwards were at the wharf. We had
quite a good meeting. The address
of Bro. Williams was a most excel
lent one, and elected the applause and
admiration Of all present. During
the speaking, cofee-house keeper,
we suppose, made his way to the
stand, with club in hand, and said
that he, ("Old Williams") should
not speak unless he used more decor
Gus language toward his brethren!-
The "old man" has been in too many
warm places to be scared off at such
threats. The liquor-seller soon as
certained that he had the 'wrong pig
by the ear" and made a successful
and precipitate retreat. We venture,
he will not make another effort to
stop man Of the stamp Of Bro,
Williams. The meeting was then
adjourned to the foot of Fifth street,
where the liquor-sellers had made
their boasts through the week, that
any man who attempted to make a
temperance speech would be eggsd. -
The meeting was large one. Ed
wards and Wiltshire addressed the
crowd, when "Old Williams" was
called out, and gave us the best ad-
dress we have listened to for many a
day. The threats warmed him up,
and he spoke with all the energy and
eloquence Of his PALMER days. No
eggs were thrown-no sign Of dis
turbance; the pledge was circulated,
and forty-three names were procured,
and fifteen subscribers for the Organ

How is it,

We understand that a gentleman,
a resident Of New Richmond, an as
pirant for Senatorial honors from the
counties of Brown and Clermont, car
ries his bottle in his pocket to treat
his expected constituency, in journeys
through the District. How is this,
temperance men Of Brown and Cler-
mont? Can man of this stamp be
elevated to the position to which he
aspires? Will somebody give us
more light? We are opposed to the
elevation Of such men, and will spare
no pains to assist in their defeat. Let
US have tho facts. The following is
the only information we have at pres
ent. The gentlemen sending this, is
responsible man, or we would not
give it publicity. o. baaqH*

to talk in this matter; they see the
evils Of the traffic wherever they turn
their eyes, and they will soon beginto
act. The mission of Bro. Williams
will not be in vain. Before his year
shall have expired, we have good reaR-
sons for believing that Cincinnati will
be greatly relieved from the evils Of
the traffic. I.
Meetings will be held next Sunday,
at the wharf at u o'clock, Pm, and
at the foot Of Fifth street at Al O'Clock.

Many of our friends in the Interior
think that, because Cincinnati is
God-forsaken, whisky-enveloped city,
there are no temperance folks or or
ganizations in it. Many actually
look upon Hamilton county temper
ance men with suspicious eye, and
think, no doubt, that all is not right,
because of the evil associations around
them. But a wrong impression has
gone abroad. The temperance men
Of Hamilton county are on the right
side Of the question, and, although
they have fearful odds to contend
with, they have never been found
wanting in time Of need. And not
withstanding the immense wealth
against us, the car Of temperance is
moving on slowly and majestically.
IL @ever goes backward. Onward!
onward is the watchword.
Only the other day, Bro. EDWARDS
instituted a new Division at Harrison,
inthe lower end of the county, under
the most favorable auspices. They
are now doing a ''land-ofice'' busi-
ness in the way of initiating new
members. Besides this, several 9TH,
ers have been resuscitated, and We.
now number as many Divisions Gs any
other county in the State: to witt
one at Harrison, one at Mt. Pleasant,
one at Lockland, one at Madisonville,
one at Montgomery, one at California,
| one at Miamitown, one at Elizabeth
town, and two in the city, all in
fourishing condition. Besides these,
/ there are three or four Temples Of
Honor, and as many Unions of the
Il Daughters Of Temperance, and Sec
tions of Cadets of Temperance, all
doing effective service in the cause.
| The friends Of the cause every
where should rejoice that we are SO
prosperous, under our many discour-
aging and disheartening circumstan-
ces. We are doing all we can, and if
Hamilton county does not send up
Maine Law men to the Legislature,
she may be relied upon as certain fol
the law when the vote comes directly
| before the people. This is our firm
conviction.
In Sycamore township, the trustees
have enacted an ordinance, to take ef-
feet from and after the 21st instant,
equal in stringency to the Maine Law;
and they have enough Of the right
sort of men to have it effectuaIly en-
forced. Who says there are no tenn
perance men in Hamilton county?

NORFOLK, July 5.
Geo. C. Churchwood, and William
Searls had a fracas here on Monday
night. Churchwood fired three bar
rels of revolver at Searls, each tax

flicting on him four ghastly wounds
from the effect of which he died or

'FRoM the Rocky MonNTAINs.--A few days ago
we mentioned the arrival from the Rocky Noun
tains of the steamer Robt Campbell. The Camp
bell went one HUNDRED and eighty m:les beyondthe
mouth of the Yellow Stone, having made the up
ward tIip, distance of 2,490 miles, in forty-two
days. The st. Joseph Cycle, in noticing the arr-
val of the Campbell, describes some Of the specl-
mems she brought down:
She comes on her return voyage freighted down
with buffalo robes, skins and iurs of almost every
description, with smart sprnkng of the vile
'yaTmnls' that inhabit that wild region. The kind
and gentlemanly captain invited us on board TO
take look at his Rocky Mountain menagerie, as
he called il, and going aft the first thing we saw
was an Indian pony, beautiful Specimenof the
wild horse. The next we came TO two half gEown
grizzly bears, the terror of the hunt-r and trapper.
One Of them, the larger, confined in strong cnge
made of scsnting. was the most vicious and ill
natuTed one we remember to Lave seen. The next a
Gagged mountain wolf, a surly looking rascal, who
seemed to be very Indifferent TO all that was going
ON around him. The next in succession was half
grown elk, beautiful animal, perfectly tame and
gentle; would ailectionately lick the hand of The
stranger. This they ptured in the river on their
downward trip. And, lastly, we came 10 a cage
containing two sure enough wild-cats-not full
grown cats, but kittens. about the size of our full
grown domestic It IN cat;' they were of yellow
iSh color, striped with brown, sprightly, playful
little fellows, and would poke their paws through

TnE GAINES CAsE.-For a considerable time
past this celebrated and obstnately case
mas remained dormant, and the nature oil the la
testdecision upon the points at issue was such s
to lead most persons to believe that termination
had virtually oeen reached. According to state
ment in Que of our exchanges this is not so. The
case is about TO appear again upon the taps, at
tracting rel ewed attention.
Mrs Gaines is, or has lately been, in New York
city, with new and important witness, General
Viilamil, of South America, said to be gentle
man of unblemished character, having PERSONAL
knowledge ofthe principal fact me- essary for Mrs.
Gaines to prove, which, we suppose, must mean
the fact oil the marriage, although this point is not
stated. He is SAID 10 have come voluntarily to the
United States 70 suJstantaIe Mrs. GalneS'S claim,
on learning the difficulty existing. In the dero-
ton of long life of untirlng exertion and steady
and unwavering perseverance 10 the prosecution
of her claim 10 t. inheritance of her utherS prop
erty, Mrs. Gaines has eynced the possession oil
qualities of mind almost heroic. Under difficulties
of all sorts, and with impedimens of almost every
description which ingenuity could invent or acct
dent bnng about, she has never failed IN her
course, adhering firmly to her demands; and now,
when advanced in years, and her cause left almost
hopeless, she still remains the same persevering
claimant. The history of her case possesses all
the interest of a rUmance.-PMLG. Gag.

Secret Society and Political Corrur

Secret Society and Political Corruption.
A correspondent of the New York Evening Post,
writing from Cincinnati, states that secret socie-
ry, composed of sworn members, under the name
of ''The Miami Tribe have heretofore existed in
that city aud county, whose purpose was to control,
by pre- concerted action, the Democratic nomna-
tlons. AS nomination on the county and Legis-
lative tickets he latter being general has usually
been equivalent to an election, the action of the
Miames his resulted in great c. rruptions.
Last year some of the members becoming dis
satisfied with the action Of the society, its secrets
were divulged, which led to bitter party war un-
der the rallyng cry tf Miamies and Anti Miamies,
and by means of this inter- Democratic warfare the
Wings elected their Congressman and one of the
County Judges.
The war RACES this year more fercely tLan ever,
and is making wider breaches in The Democratic
ranks. The Miamies are getting most oil the Gov
ernment spoils, the knowledge of which fact in no.
wise heals the fostering wound.
Such secret combinations as these Miamies are
dangerous to republican liberty, and ought to be
