TEMPERANCE IN THE EAST.

On Friday last the state temperance
conventions of Massachusetts, aud New
Jersey were held at the respective cap
tai. Of these states. The object Of
.hcse conventions of course was the
suppression Of drunkenness, but there
,ppeared to be marked difference
in the recommendations of the means
to be employed. Massachusetts,, ultra
in everything, passed the following res
olutions:
R,,olre1. That the present Legislature
Se and are hereby potitiOned to restore the
| prohibitory law Of s67 with the follow
ne amendments
First Making the implements of liq-
ur store containing liquor prin,a .fde'e
violence of guilt.
S,,ond-Escluding liquor dealer. as
lth"r criminals from the jury box.
7Hird-Sccufing the rgh, to challenge
iqu"r drunken. from the jury at dis
.reti"n.
/onrfh Making the punishment for
unlawful sales thirty day. Imprisonment
,r the frs, offence, and sixty days for the
..cond and so on doubling the time 'i
imprisonment for each and every succeed
ing ohense.
Fifth-Aboi.hing the liquor commits
ion aud leaving the state police under the
control Of the governor, M formerly.
Sirth--M Making every person who un-
awfully sells or gives away liquor re
.ponsblc for the damage arising there
from.
The resolutions passed by the Tren
ton convention are more reasonable
and less calculated TO arouse the fierce
opposition always cngendered By
prohibitory laws The gist of the res.
olutions by the New Jersey convention,
is local prohibition by the voice of the

The Great Dangersiof GENERALIZATION

Prominent Republican newspapers express
great alarm at the wonderful advances toward
Capitalization which have been made under
Grants Administration. The New York Posr
says:
An abuse no, 80 palpable as some Others, but
no less dang erous and formidable is the rapidly
increasing absorption of local and State powers
by the Federal Government. The congestive
energy given to the national head by tl,e exi-
gencies Of the war. instead Of being arrested by
the recoveries OF peace, seems TO have been in
famed and aggravated. Not only are doctrines
put forth which are scandal and an outrage
upon all constitutional law, and subversive Of
the peculiar structure, but these doctrines are
acted upon, and they are invoked in support OF
still further action; and those lesser republics
the States, which IN many important respects
are sovereign, autocratc, independent and in
violabIe, are in the way to become mere sub
sidiary corporations OF one supreme and consol
idated despotism. Every security Of persona
right, every guaranty Of civil freedom, ever,
imminent of individual independence, ever,
shield against the encroachments Of arbitrar,
power, will be stricken down, and the American
freeman, who once boasted of his sacred mmu
mites, be no more free than the Frenci
subject was under Louis Napoleon, or an Egyp
tian felah is now under an agent of the Vic

The Cause Of the Backing Out.

The prospect now seems TO be that President

His reason for taking this unexpected course
will doubtless be the fear that if the claim for
such damages il persisted in it will interfere with
all attempts to borrow money in Europe Oh Amer

The Secretary of War has transmitted to
Congress a statement of the number of Ol0r-
vious condition, and the amount of money re-
Quired to pay the enlisted slaves bounty. The
total number enlisted was 1855 Of which
l44, ,426 were slaves. Under existing laws
slaves enlisted subsequent to July, 1864, are
entitled to bounty the same as freemen. The
are allowed bounty under the bill pending in
the Military Committee, is 2l,037, and of this
number at least one-fifth have forfeited any
| claim upon the government by desertion and
other causes. The Secretary states that in
case the bill passes two million dollars will be
required to pay the bounty allowed. The
communication was referred to the COMMITTEES
on Military Affairs.
