We would gladly deem all men honest if they
would let MS. We always wish to believe that
those whose views differ from ours are sincerely
intent on promoting the public good; yet, when
anti-Resumptonsts tell us that they wish to
get back to specie payments so fast and so
soon as we safely can-that they differ with
us as to the means, not as to the cnd-we are
compelled to say that then acts do not tally
with their words.

Our money market was yesterday afternoon
considerably alarmed by Cable dispatch, stat
ing that the distrllst in the financial circles of
London had increased TO a war panic. In the
evening, when the financial operations for the
day had been closed, dispatch of q much more
pacific character was received, assuring us that
the uncertainty as to NapoleOn's policy was Gre
ating wide spread distiust in commercial and
financial circles. According to another dispatch,
Mr.. Lowe stated last night, i'll the House of
Commons, that very warlke news had been
received in Berlin from Paris, and that the
King had sent for Bismarck at 2 o'clock on Sun
day morning.
The relations of Prussia and France are such
that either of these Powers may be expected to
begin Z Quarrel wne% she thinks she has
good chance of success. They are facing for
the leadership Of Continental Europe, and untli
this race shall have been decided, lasting
friendship between them cannot be expected to
exist. But both Powers shrink from open war.

matic.moves but each of them has preferred
abandoning some of its demands TO risLing
a war; Thus Prussia reluctantly consented to
the establishment of the Maine frontier,
and France rcccdcd from its demand of territorial
compensation. Both continue to have strong
reasons for wishing a continuation of peace.
Prussia wants few years for seeing the
reorganization OF the armies of the South Ger
man States completed, and for the consollda-
ton of the new Confederation. France. on the
other hand, will need time before the Ieorgan-
ization scheme, which is To give it an army
equal in numerical strength to that of Prus-
sia, can be carried through. Whatever may be
the temptations to engage in war, these CON
sideratiOns will be, for both parties, great
drawback. Ii will, therefore, be well not to at
tribute too much credit to the warlike rumors

The Republican State Convention meets to-
morrow at Syracuse, for the nomination OF
sixteen delegates at large to the Constitutional
Convention. 1t will be largely, but, we pre-
sume not quite fully attended, because of the
brief interval between the issue Of the call
and the assembling of the Convention. We
will trust that a strong and good Ticket Will
nevertheless be formed.
We regret that the calls for Senate district
nominating conventions seem not to have been
issued so promptly as they might have BEEN
The election itself is now barely two weeks off,
and the district candidates should have been
nominated 10y Saturday of this week at farthest
vet we fear that half of them will not be.
Friends of Reform in every district and in each
of the great parties we pray you to take care
that your district conventions be speedily as
sembled, and that the best men be everywhere
nominated Do not yanly trust that this work
will do itself, but look to it earnestly and in
stantly.

The Citizens Association, through their
Counsel, Mr.. Moves, have appeared in
timely petition against the City Tax
Levy I'm an argument yesterday before
the Assembly Committee at Albany, Mr..
Moves presented model levy csti-
mated by the Association. We have no doubt
that this estimate is an economical one. Sixty
thousand instead of one hundred thousand dol
lars would, by this schedule, be given to con-
tingcnt expenses; and this is fair sample Of
many other reductions contained in it. But
who expects economy of this Legislature!

FROM BACONSBURGH.

BACoNsBURG, April 5, 1867.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-At our last Tenn
temperance meeting in this place, held
last Monday night, a week ago, We had q
full house, and a very able lecture from
Elder Miller, of the United Brethren
Church. Mr.. Miller Is in favor of moral
and legal action, and is clear and conclu-
siye in argument. After the address the
pledge was circulated and some Is or 20
names added to those we had, making
about 20 in all.
Elder Grin Gates, of the Disciple Church,
viii address US Monday night next.
We want action among the people. It
is the peoples business, There should be
movements in every town. Agitate, agi-
tate, keep it before the people that co., 0
murders are committed annually by the
liquor traffic. Five years and the murder
GUS business will have killed 100000, about
as many as fell in the FIVE years of the late
rebellion. My God, what q frightful rec
ordI Who IS responsible for this work of
deathf The people! the peoplei yes, we,
the people. The people can stop it if they
will. A people that put down the late
rebels, surely can crush the liquor traffic
Is the blighting curse of drunkard making
and man slaughter to be pe~rpetualf Is
there no remedy for an evil Of SUCH gigantic
dimension! We appeal to every honest
heart, to every conscientious thinker, to
every christian soul. What does humani-
ty sayf What does christianity teach
What does patriotism, truth aud justice
commend on this great question : All that
Is lovely on earth and holy in heaven con-
spire to bid US act, snd to act promptly
Let the people move In every township.
Let County conventions be called, and
State conventions assemble.
There is power in association there is
strength in combination. Let the good
and true OF ali parties, Of sll sects and
denominations unite in petitioning Con-
gress and State Legislatures for laws with
adequate penalties. Laws and penalties
that will take the money out of the diaboli-
cal trade in intoxicating liquor. Laws
and penalties that will strip the criminal
traits of all responsibility, and show it up
in its naked t~reachery, peridy, damning
insolence, and hellish wicked
ness.
Laws are a terror to evil doors, and why
not make the liquor dealers feel its msjes-
ty, weight and power. AL0PATH.
