TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS.

We have recently given briefly cur
views of the proposition being pressed
by class of Temperance men in favor
of forming political party whose foun-
dation stone shall be the prohibition Of
the liquor traffic. \ convention of these
men is called to meet at Chicago on the
first of September, for the purpose of
forming national political party, and a
minor portion of the friends of temper~
ance in this State favor the movement
and advance the idea of nominating a
separate ticket this fall. Discussing this
matter, Watrous, editor of the Badger
State Banner, speaks as follows If so
staunch and capable a temperance advo>
cate as Watrous, disapproves the pros
posed measure, there can be no hope Of
its success, and every body should be con-
WINGED of its impractieability:
During the past six months we have re-
ceived a number of letters from Temper
ance men asking us to urge the formation
of Temperance political party, and aid in
the nomination of a ticket, holding out as
an InuuCement that We should nave Il place
on the ticket. The last inducement-off-
cred two weeks since-is the nomination
| for Lieut.. Governor on the Temperance
| ticket. in the first place, friends, we haFn' t
| the slightest idea that more than a corporal s
| guard of the friends of the temperance
| cause in Wisconsin could be induced to
| take part in the organization of a political
| Temperance party. The working, earnest,
| selfsacr, icing men in the Temperance cause
/ consider that such a move at this time
would undo all the good that has been done
| the past two or three years, con ca entity
| they viii sail clear of such damaging TN
| dertaking, and viii their influence
| against it. Believing as we do, there Is
| nothing that would induce Us to help or
| game a seperate Temperance party, OF
| accept a nomination from it after its or
| ganization, for we long since decided to
! do all we can to advance the cause Of TEN
| perance, and we believe such course
| would only work to its great detriment.
/ We thank our friends for entertaining the
| idea of giving Us a place on their ticket
| but a true f5iend of the cause, ask them
t. abandon the idea of a party and Iomina
| ting ticket"

Another Riot IN Mobile.

On Friday, August 9th, a riot occurred
n Mobile, and Notwithstanding reports
OF rebel sheets, the facts show il to be
but another Ku Klux affair. One of the
rebel reports says, 1.-The negroes were all
armed, yet the same report inconsist~
emily shows that three negroes were
killed outright and Ave wounded, be-
sides several policemen, (who are known
II be union men while only three OF
the other party were hurt at all, and
they but slightly How singular that,
though the, "ne@roes were all armed, /"
and, as the Mobile RegiStel. claims, the
instigators of the riot, they suffered 50
severely while their enemies escaped
almost scot free We are either to con
ciude that the negroes shot each other,
or that they were shot by the white
rebes Which is the most natural con-
clusion No fair minded man needs an
answer,
The cause Of this little onpleasant-
ness seems to have been about thus =
Alabama has had an election The Repub-
lean candidate for Congress in the Mo-
Tie district was elected The Republi-
cans Of that district were naturally elated
at them success. Their feelings of Joy
they desired to manifest, and accordingly
held sort of "jollifcation meeting at
Mobile. A part Of the proceedings OF
this meeting happened to be the burning
in elf@y Of the defeated rebel candidate,
a proceeding which though not compli.
lnentary TO the unfortunate politician
personatcd, is nevertheless harmless and
precedent makes it legitimate This
was too much for the amity Of the chiy.
airy. They could not brook such icno-
mny, and the riot was natural conse>
quense. OF course the negroes were
entirely to blame, Consider their pres
sumption What right ,had they to re
joice over the defeat of a friend of the
Lost Cause They might have known
that such proceeding on their part would
not be endured, and hence are they not
directly responsible for the disturbance 3?

THE ECLJPSE ToTAL.-The follow
ing graphic description of the eclipse of
the sun last Saturday, at Grand Rapids,
Iowa, where the olscurity was total, is
copied by permission from a private
letter to Mr.. JAMES SPExsELEr, of this
city, by his brother john K. SPENsLEY:
Yesterday was day
long to be remembered here. The
eclipse ct the sun was total at this point
l suppose with you 1t was not At four
clock we could see the shadow of the
moon as 1t crossed the suns rays
Gradually it moved until about five
c eek, when the sun was entirely hid
den from sight. 1t was dark as nirht
1t became quite chilly and cold; the
dew began 10 fall; all nature seemed to
stand still Although the total obscurity
only lasted about two minutes, it ssemed
fully ten. The very leaves on the trees
ceased their motion; birds futterei
about as though lost; animals looked
bewildered and uneasy, and even human
beings themselves could not restrain
their feelings of awe. Although the
eclipse had been the common topic here
Tor more than n month, and all had pro-
yided themselves with the necessary
smoked glass, and, as the shadow began
to t.oss the suns rays, sought conven-
lent places To view it, yet when the
darkness made itself .tstt; when tie
sun was entirely hidden, glasses were
dropped 10 the side, and all seemed to saw,

Canadian independence.

Sir John Young, Governor General of
Canada, has made n speech the text of
which is given in the Chicago Tribune
of Wednesday last, with the following
editorial;
ts He informed the Canadians that the British Gov
erumcnt comedies the independence of Canada,
and expects the Dominion hereafter provide for it
self. He adds that - long as Canada remains de-
tendency the British Government will fight for it. bt
the sam< time it gv,s the Dominion absolute free
dom to beco ne independent in name as vel a. in fact
and freedom to make other alliance il may think
proper. The substance OF this is that propose the
annexation OF the provinces, whole stngly, to
the United States viii no longer be regarded dis
loyal by the British Governments, but part of that
freedom aud Independence which it is sought to give
to the people.

The fact is hat the British Government sees as al
