ever to do battle in their sacred cause,
whether for their own preservation or that

the crowd met on Burke Square, and were
addressed by "Gov." Holden, whose re-
marks. we understand, were upon the or
dinary topics, discussed by Radical speak
ers generally, and were of no special signi-
hcance. 1t was then announced that the
crowd would repair to another grove be-
yond, where it would be addressed by Gov.
Hawley, of Connecticut. OF his speech we
have heard nothing, but our readers can
very easily Judge of its character and mer-
its. Gov. Hawley Is said to be a native of
Robeson in this State, but his present po-
sition and politics entitle him to no con-
sideration among the Intelligent and virtu :
Gus people of the State. We have heard
OF one or two speeches delivered by per-
sons intoxicated, which were very infam-
matory and lmprudent, and of which we
shall speak hereafter
The provision for feeding this large
crowd, We understand, was slim. Up to
this hour, % o'clock, z. NJ. y we are glad
to say that no instance of disorder has oc-
Cured, though there is some evidence of
the Tree use OF liquor. There has been
noise and bluster, but nothing more than
could be expected on such an occasion.-
Ihe white portion of our community have
attended to their own business, leaving the
attendants upon the mass-meeting the
largest scope for their own qualification.
We are glad to announce that Judge
teade and his Associate Justices on the
Supreme Court Bench, who were an
nounced by the Standard, to preside on
the occasion, are not here, and that Tour
gee is the only "Judge " in the State, who
has soiled the judicial ermine by partici-
pating in this affair,

How n Peck of Corn Meal is Taxed

The Gallipolis Dispatch, in answer to the
charge that because a man is poor he can
not be taxed, thus shows how even a peck
Of meal, purchased by poor man to aid
IN feeding his family of little children, is
taxed, to aid in paying the interest on the
untaxed bonds. Says the Dispatch
"The corn from which that peck of meal
was made was raised on taxed land, plowed
by taxed pillow, drawn by taxed horses,
hltched with taxed gears 1t was hoed
with taxed hoe, cultivated with taxed i'm
plements, gathered with taxed wagon,
drawn with taxed horses, thrown into a
taxed crib, shelled Cd q taxed machine,
measured In taxed measure, taken in q
taxed sack and ground in a taxed mill,
sleved with taxed sieve. mixed in a taxed
pan, stirred with taxed spoon, salted with
taxed salt, put into taxed bake pan,
baked IN d taxed stove, laid out on O. taxed
| plate, cut with taxed knife, and lastly,
eaten by pretty heavily taxed man.
s. If 1t were not for the taxes you could
buy bushel of meal for what that peck
costs you. Besides, it is not on that alone
that you are taxed, but on everything you
have to buy. A ponnd of sugar costs only
or cents, but You have to pay from 1G
to 20. A pound of coffee only costs 10 cents,
but you have to pay 80, and if it costs you
three hundred dollars year to support
your family, you may safely say one half
of this IS tax. Now, is it any wonder that
times ore bard, and that you find it diff
cult to live ?''

Important Movement TO be Made i'm the
New York Episcopal Convention.

In addition to the other topics of deep
interest which are likely to occupy the at
tention of the General Convention of the
Episcopal Church to be held in this CITY
next month, canon concerning marriage
is to be brought before it for considera-
tion, which will probably provoke an earn
est controversy. At present there are no
regulations in force in the Episcopal
Church on the subject, except that its
members are bound as citizens to respect
the civil laws of the States in which they
reside. These laws being thought to be
more lax in some cases than is consistent
with the injunctions of Scripture, an effort
is to be made to supplement them by an
authoritative ecclesiastical statute, which
shall clearly define what marriages are and
what are not prohibited, and thus furnish
q guide for the conduct of the faithful.
The proposed canon will absolutely for
bid marriages between a man and his
stepmother, stepmother's daughter, mo-
theirs sister, fathers lister, wife's mother,
Wltes daughter, wife's granddaughter,
uncle's wife. brothers wife, sons wife; O.
woman and her stepfather, stepfather's
son, mothers brother, fathers brother.
husbands father, husband S son, husbands
grandson, aunts husband, husbands
brother, daughters husband. And it will
censure, as marriages which ought to be
avoided, those between man and his
wifes sister, brothers daughter, sisters
daughter, grandsOn's daughter, nephew's
wife, wife's brothers daughter, wife's
sisters daughter; woman and her sisters
husband, brothers son, sisters son, grand
daughters husband, niece's husband, hus-
bands brothers son, husbands sisters
son.-NeW York Erening Express, 1871.

rmENEw INVITATION TO DRINK.

tAM G.4 y
II we should call all things by their
. right names. our conversation would be
a very different thing from what it is at
present. In nothing, for instance,
would colloquial usage be more com
pletely altered than in the manner of
asking a friend ito drink The last
form this invitation has assumed comes
from Indiana. '.Wili you have a drink
is q matter of fact straightforward way
of putting the question:, but inasmuch
as water is a drink, as well as some 9TH
er things, nothing but previous mu
tual understanding makes the question
definite one. Although it has been
held by many that water is only iit for
washing purposes and commerce, those
who resort to it as an article of CASTRO,
nornic necessity can hardly consent to
the entire monopoly of the word drink
by spirituous and malt liquors.-s'Wnl
you take somethingf' is equally indef
mite. How the bar-room has ever come
to claim the word something as pecu-
iarly its own, is a mystery to us. We
have known very many people to stake
: something, without drinking drop
oftliquor--the man who robbed US of
ten dollar bill, for instance, the other
day. will you snileil'--it.ss entirely
too broad a meaning for its purpose.
There are very many varieties of smiles
the loving smile-the friendly smile
the mothers smile the infant smile,
frequently called the first smile the
& smile which shows her pearly teeth and
with which the hero Of a novel falls in
love-the coqueetish smile-the playful,
the fitting, the transient the sad. the
merry, the sunny, and the grim and
CHASTITY smile. The latter. perhaps, be-
! longs especially to the act of drinking
liquid fire In the bar room. Punch has
illustrated this smile by Il pair of grim
ming skeletons who are -taking a drink
with each ether The word s.sinile,"
: however, is too indefinite for the pur-
pose. We must accept with thanks the
new forms of invitation to drink which
is now in use in the State of Indiana

the term, we answer that the objection
is purely technical There is a differ
enee of the time merely between the &C
