rNTEmPERANCE uICu PLACES

"Mack," the Washington correspondent
CT the Cincinnati Commercial, in his letter
of the 18th of January, tells the following ::
There never was greater need than at
present for vigorous prosecution of the
war against lntemperance in high places.
Whether Senator Wilson has become dis
couraged or disguised, know not, but he
| seems to have entirely relinquished his
Christian efforts of a year ago 10 reform
| his Congressional brethren through the
agency of his temperance society. One
gentleman, who was an exemplary member
Of the Congressional Temperance Society
year ago, astonished and appalled, the
boarders at Williard's one morning last
week by entering the breakfast room in his
| night shirt, at about 10 A. NJ. another was
| taken home in hand cart not many SUM-
days since, while still another, over whose
conversion all the ladies were, a year ago,
saturating their pocket handkerchiefs, and
carrying on in a more melo-dramatic
way than anything recorded of the Brick
Lane Branch of the Ebenezer Temperance
Society, of which the elder Mr.. Weller's
second wentur," was such bright and
| shining iight-that gentleman (need say
he is a distinguished Senator from the
West?) has been for week or more con-
| fined TO his room and diet of picked
cabbage TO help him over prolonged ca
rouse, terminating in the deliriums. Nor
is this all. Would that it we're. 1t is not
even the worst
Mack mentions particular case that
has become so serious of late that an
eminent Bishop of the Methodist Church
has been sent for, and has come all the
way from Philadelphia to see what he
can do in the way of reforming the ennis
nent sinner
We see it stated that an effort is being
made by citizens Of Illinois to get Sen>
ator Yates to resign because of his ex~
treme intemperance He is said to have
occupied his seat very rarely the present
session owing to his excessive use of in~
toxicating liquors.
While these hard tales are told upon
Senators, the Chicago Times asserts that
on Sunday, the 10Th of January, Gen.
Grant was shamefully drunk and stagger-
ing through the streets of Washington,
only being able to walk by the aid of his
father-in-law, General Dent There is
probably truth in this charge, for Theo-
dore Tilton, editor Of the New York
Independent, who spent-two days in
Washington recently, and told publicly
what he saw, says
Occasionally Presidential candidate
is seen fuddled in the streets but, az this
happens only on Sunday, it cannot be
said to interfere with public business, and
does not strikingly challenge public atten-
ton"
And, in view of the possibilities of the
future, adds:
Zone glass of wine poured down the
throat of the next President of the United
States, and making a he'll in his blood,
may give this whole nation the delrium
trsmens"
This, it should be borne in mind, ia the
testimony of Radical editor

TIE Supreme Court Of the United

(the Rhode Island question in l842), dis
cussing the fourth section, of the fourth
article, Of the constitution, providing that

ment, said
Under this article of the constitution,
it rests with Congress to decide Whist Cow

This is the substance Of all it said on
the question. Yet, Senator Morton, of

Congress to set up and establish State
governments, and prescribe in advance
what the form shall be; and claims, also,
that this is a Remuneration, by the SUI.
