Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1858-08-17

Our CoRREsPONDESTs.-''B B." the writer of
a short note to US takes sides with our cores
Pondent TO whose views on the prices of admis-
sion to the Cleveland Thaater we referred on
Saturday morning last. He says that Thea
ter in this city can never succeed unless the
prices are in accordance with the pressure of
the times He suggests % cents as the rate
Of admission for the first circle, parquette and
family circle, and l2l cents for the gallery.
I" E. F." in speaking of accidents on rail-
roads, says: g Ny observations in riding upon
railroads for the last five years, almost constant
ly, results in the conclusion that more than one
halfthe accidents that occur are caused by cat.
tie getting on the tracks. A large number Of
them are unavoidable, and whilst Railroad Com.
Panies enjoy no sympathy for their loss of prop
erty, and not unfrequently pay heavy bills of
damages for personal injuries, farmers bring
suits and recover the value of their animals If
the damages were assessed against those who
allow their cattle 10 run at large. the travelling
public would enjoy greater amount Of security
and the ends of justice be more certainly met,
and our great public improvements would no
longer suffer the reputation of swindling COZ
POrations.'
Another correspondent heads his eommuni-
cation Temperance Sermons by Clereland MIN
isiers. and says:
We have now had two excellent sermons in
the series that has been promised US by the min
isters of our city. The one last evening, by
Rev Mr.. GOoDRIcH, chiefly on the gllilfiness Of
those who taste the intoxicating cup, as well as
Of him who putteth it to his neighbor's lip, con-
tained some passages of great interest and beau
ty; especially so was the statement Of the effect
that would be produced on the audience could
they see painted on the walls of the church q
panorama Of the crime and woe caused in a sin
gle year by this vice Of iutemPerance within
our city The former discourse, by Rev. Jas
Ellis, was like nearly all his other sermons, of
strictly practical character, and in answer to
the question, " What shall We do to promote
temperance J" This is what we all want to
know, and although the suggestions Of the dis
course were good as far as they went, vet ex-
Perience, sad experience, has demonstrated that
moral suasion and personal example alone will
not shut up grog shops; the business of liquor
selling must be rendered improbable to stop it,
and l understand convention of the people OF
our county will be called to deliberate on this
subject before many weeks have goue by.
He concludes by assuring US of more anon.
IN. G." under date of yesterday, sends US
communication headed More About the Mar
ket Ground, " and then proceeds to say:
Much has been whispered, spoken and writ
ten, on the desks of the Council Chamber and
the press, regarding the old and new market
ground Interested COuncilmen, and outsiders
having /" lots to let" have been exerting their
limited influence for the removal Of the market
from its present place TO that of the new all for
the benefit Of the working or marketing people
They are now, It is whispered, trying or are in
tent on trying, to force an ordinance through
the Council prohibiting the sale of meat or veg
etables on Ontario street. This, however, is
beyond the power of the Council, had that hon
orable body been willing. II the residents on
Ontario street pronounce the traffic nuisance,
if it interfere with the public travel or safety,
then only can the honorable Council take action
upon 1t. Even then the people cannot Be forced
TO 60 to the -ofthe way grounds on Pitts
burg street, for neither municipal nor State. nor
FEDERAL law combined have the power 10 drire
the working class (fOr It's they who do business
there) hither aud thither at the bidding Of any
speculatOrs who have 'lots to let, ;" even though
they do make camping ground of shelterless
sheds for women of uneasy virtue TO huddle
in at night
