Since the ae Of the wharf contracts which resulted
fAvoraby the contract has become quite popular
It hiss been proposed farm out the coffee house licenses
and the ordinance referred proposes nothing
less than to- farm out the Fire Department for term Of
five years would be veil enough perhsps tocsrry the
plan ttle further and farm out the city government

who would attend to the affairs Of the city az they attend
to their own private business It would DO magnificent
speculation to gYe them hundred thousand dollars

be comparatively easy, and taxes materially reduced

We predicted that this would be the case months

The fact is, the Yankees must have some
hobby to ride. Or they would DO exceedingly

most convenient and handy, they ct once mount

For the Spirit of the Aqe.
Silver Run Division.

Last Saturday, the 26th inst, this tried
and faithful little Spartan band celebrated
their fourth anniversary. had the pleas
ure of being present, and was glad to find
this gallant Division, in solid phaIanx, still
presenting an unbroken front to the inva
ding hosts of Alcohol.
Between the hours Of 10 and II in the
morning, the brethren met at the Division
room, formed themselves into a procession
and marched down to Bro. Simpsons. S. where
they were joined bya very respectable num-
Der of the fairer portion of Gods creation );
who (angelic creatures y are ever ready on
such occasions lovely faces wreaihed
with approving smiles-to make glad the
hearts of the Sons to cheer them on, and
to co operate with them in their philanthro-
pic mission of love. After being joined by
the ladies, the procession returned to the
stand when Col. j. E. Stone, u. G. w. P.
arose and introduced the Rev. William g.
Clark as orator of the day who proceeded
to address the audience on the subject of
moral aud legal suasion. Mr. G. took the
ground now occupied by the most Of the
true friends Of the temperance reformation
that legal suasion is the only efectnat RENE
dy against the evils of intemperance.-
Reformation wrought by the influence Of
moral suasion alone-unless the moral sua
sionists are backed by legal enactments-
having their hands thus stayed up by the
strong arm of the law are apt to be oi
short duration. His address was very ap-
propriate and we'll suited to the times and
the occasion. After Mr.. G. had concluded
his remarks the meeting adjourned to meet
again at Z o'clock, P. NJ.
As per adjournment. in the evening the
Sons again gathered themselves together a
, the Division Room, and again formed ;
procession this time accompanied by beau
tiful transparencies one of which brilliant
ly displayed the motto of our Order, Love
Purity and Fidelity; another expressive Q
our object. shone forth in bold relief-Dowl
, with the Liquor Traffic.
. After the procession, which Of course bat

VINO SHALL HAVE CoNsTANTINoPLE.-This,
if we mistake not, will turn out to be the
fnality' of the Eastern question: and it
seems pretty sure that those who direct the
councils of the allied powers are very far
from harmony of opinion on the subject.
On the contrary, they evidently look forward
to such an issue with much uneasiness and
apprehension. The French are strong in
Turkey, the British are weak. Suspicious
already begin to arise in England that the
French mean to stay in Turkey, just rs they
are now staying at Rome. Does any well in
formed man suppose that France would hes
itate for an instant to seize upon Constanti-
nople, if the thing could be done with any
reasonable chance Of ultimate success?
And what is the disposition of Great Bril-
tain upon this point? After all the virtuous
Indignation which has been expended by the
British press against Russian encroach-
ments,' what would John Bull really do with
Turkey if he could dojust as he pleased?
