The Temperance Cause-Meetlng of

The Temperance Concentrating OF
the Good TempIars.
ROCHESTER, Sept 24-The Grand Lodge
Of Good Tempisrs yesterday adopted a
platform which says the first solid and
great principles of our order is in the as.
sertion that every Good Templar ought to
do all be csa to abolish the use of intoxi-
eating drinks. The doctrines of prohibi.
ton for each individual and society stand
first in the teachings of our order.
We are not a political organization,
but rather on institution to indicate to
the people the duty of action-Citizers,
every one Of whom should recognize the
claims of his obligation and do sll in his
power TO enforce restriction and prohibit
DRY legislation. The time has not come
for the organization of political temper
ance party, but the time has come for
every temperance man to engsge in tenn.
perance politics, keeping in mind that we
can labor for the largest immediate results
now practicable. 1t is evident that pro.
hibition as now presented, is the frat
available work TO be done,

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 22.--The plot by
which Yerger's escape was to have been
effected has not been fully developed, and
the little that is definitely known to the

TO visit the house of Mrs. Yerger, in COM

New Orleans, on the special business of
efecting the escape Of Yerger; and that
the sum CT three thousand dollars was
stipulated as his pay in the event of sue
cess. The escape of Yerger was TO be
effected by passing ia to him, by conniv-
ance of the corporal of the guard, of the
uniform and equipments of private
soldier. These Yerger was to assume,
and in the disguise to escape from the
camp, the sentinel deserving at the same
time.
Since the discovery Of the conspiracy
Mrs. Yerger has not been allowed to enter
the room where Yerger is confned, and
the only intercourse low allowed is
through the bars of the window of his cell.

THE CITY.
THE EI.EcrIoz OF MAeIsrRArEs.

u
The Decision ef Registrar MuliOy.
Some Misunderstanding has arisen about
the election of Justices Of the Peace. The
Commissioner of Registration has given
ten days notice that he would hold an
election to-day for two Justices from the
first ward, two from the fourth. ward,
one from the sixth ward, one from the
seventh ward, and one from the tenth
ward. 1t is said there is vacancy in
the eighth ward and one in the ninth
ward. If so, probably it has not been
brought to the knowledge of the Com-
missioner. At all events he has issued no
notice for elections for those wards; and
according to the construction which the
Commissioner puts on the law, the candi-
dates living in these two wards must wait
till an election is ordered for their re-
spective wards and the legal notice given.
This construction is probably correct. On
application yesterday, the Commissioner
addressed the following note to the parties
inquiring:
NASHVILLE, Sept. "a, 1869.-My con-
struction of the Law in regard to the office
of Magistrate is this: That the person
receiving the highest number of votes
in the district will be regarded by
me So elected, but must have his residence
in the ward in which there is vacancy
| think this is the meaning and intent of
the Legislature. Justices must be elected
by the qualified voters Of the district, and |
must have their residence at the time of |
the election in the ward in which there is
a vacancy. E + MULLoY,
Commissioner of Registration.
To meet this view, the Cons eryative
Executive Committee have printed the
names on the ward tickets; all
The names are to be voted for in every
ward. In all but the 7th ward the names
put on the ticket were the only names
before the committee:
For the Fret Ward, Patrick McTigue,
T. w. Horn.
For the Second Ward, Patrick Walsh
md ]. M. Hinton.
For the Sixth Ward, Hugh NJ Nor
ow.
For the Seventh Ward, Isaac Paul.
For the Tenth Ward, John H. BAskett'
1t is hoped that candidates who have not
landed in their names, and those whose
is only postponed, will believe
hat the committee did the best ii could.
