We had Intended reviewing The doings Of
the State Temperance Convention At Columbus,
on Wednesday. lhs ltih inst. bat after cares
ful examination Of tho proceedings. as reported
10 the Columbus papers, we have concluded
that It is not worth while The speeches we're
put up on the usual high pressure style; the
resolutions, while lbey contained few good
things, were generally impracticable and the
whole affair, as Il has ever heretofore. ended in
gas. more ultra clique Of utter imprAc,ioa-
bles never got together to damn good cause.
One Of the good things-as ftr as Il goes.
and we give credi, ne faras We ean--is the Sd
Resolution. as follows,
Resolved. That our cause has been greatly
injured by = class Of self constituted lecturers,
dssli,ute alike Of intelligence sod moral prin-
ciple, who desire to live by imposing on too
eredulous public-aud that we urge upon the
friends Of temperance, everywhere, TO withhold
their couoieoh9ee end support from all auch
mendcants.
We confess to seeing little difference between
self-cousiituted" temperance lecturers, and
those having credeaiials from "self-couslituled"
committees We hold both 10 be ltzy droBes
qoaftered upon tie public crednlily aBd good
humor, and should be proceeded against BY
the proper authorities fur obtaining moaey upou
false pret,uSs The G.h resolution is move
in the right direction;
Resolved, That the fraudulent manufacturers
OF poisoned liquors. Etm those who sell them,
knowing them to be pois0ned, deserve the hall
Ter as niubh as the assassin who takes life by
means OF the bowie-knife or other deadly wea-
pon.
But all these "resolves" effect nothing for
humanity. The moral cowardiee Of those who
profess TO sustain ;hem makes them a dead
letter; aud their frequent repetition and aban-
donrnent have the effect OF disgusting good
people with the farce. All the while the evils
If intempersnce are increasing, and the pToits-
siOnsi temperance people are opposing the only
practicable plan that we can Eon adopt for the
Amelioralion Of the unfortunates who are the
victims Of perverted appetite. Because somt
persons cannot get whole loaf they will hav,
no bread; because some men cannot at one lel
swoop dry up The fountain Of misery, they
will refuse TO provide against The evils arising
from it. These man, while they profess to b,
friends to humanity, are stumbling blocks ia
the way Of those who would aid the uufortuu'
ate. But we have no time to pursue the sub
iect further We will, at an early day, have
something to say about what we believe to b,
the best practical plan for lessening the Gvili
Of lntemperance.

ADVICE TO THE CoRDwAISRRs The

Those of them who have money enough TO

B8-The Washington Constitution says
the blaek-republican party is disabled by
the lack Of settled principles OF any sort,
except such ss are misnamed principles,
and are really only the prejudices Of fac.
ton. The party iS actually only an ugglo-
moration of hostile forces united merely by
a common hatred; and should it, unlortu,
natcly for the American people, ever come
into power, it would instantly demonstrate
its incapacity for government by the hope
less anarchy into which its heterogeneous
materials would at once fall on the first
effort to originate a governmental measure.

An Interesting Little Episode on the
Usury Question.

OSuiy &u0stiou'
We desire 10 call the attention of our
readers to a couple of extra ,ts from tn, pro,
oeedings Of the State Senate on Thursday
last March sth) in reference to the interest
question.
II will be remembered that Senator Cup
py previous to the election last fall, in which
he proved successful, felt constrained BY
the force of public sentiment in this dis
trict, to take distinct ground in favor Of a
restricted rate Of interest and against usury.
It seems he has felt impelled by ha con-
science to make some effort in his senatorial
capacity to redeem the pledges re made to
his constituency on this sui j.ct, and hence
we observe the following proceedings;
On motion of Mr.. Key. the motion to re-
consider the vote by which s d. No 10
for conventional rate Of interest at 8 per
cent, was taken from the table, and the mo-
lion to reconsider was discussed and carri-
ed
Mr.. Garfield moved to postpone i; indeG-
nitely.
Mr. cuppy moved to commit to select
COMMITTEES with instructions to amend as
lol0ws:
SIC. 3. That all contracts for the pay
ment Of interest, at a rate greater than S
per eentum per annum, upon my bond
bill, promissory note, or other INSTRUMENT of
writing, Tor the payment or forbearance Of
money, shall be absolutely void.
The motion 10 reGer carried--yeas II,
nays H. The President decided by voting
aye EfE1 .II'
The Senate took recess.
The vote was tie-ths President dsci-
ding in favor Of tho reference 20 far SO
good, But alasl what follows. We extract
from the proceedings again;
