The LECTuRE.-It was impossible for
us to attend the lecture of Rev w. W.
Thorpe of Waterloo, before the Library
Association, last Friday evening, but we
heard it spoken of as an able effort. The
subject was Public Opinion" and the
aim of the lecturer was to demonstrate
that what in the past was attained by
Papal Bulls and gunpowdcr, was in these
days accomplished by the more potent
agency of public opinion, influenced and
moulded by the press, pulpit, steam and
the telegraph. The lecture was scholar
ly and eloquent and gave general salts
faction
The pressure Of other matter upon
our columns prevented notice Of the
lecture Of the week before. by Rev. Mr.
Ellsworth 1t was very happily con
ceivcd and abundant in good points.

UNCoNsTlTUTIoNAL.-The Suprcm
Court have decided in the case of the
State Of Iowa vs.. Wicr, appealed from
the District Court of Cerro Gordo coun-
ty, that the act of the Thirteenth General
Assembly allowing the people Of any
county to decide by their votes whether
the sale of wine and beer shall be per-
mittcd within its borders, is uncOnstitu-
tiOnal. The decision is based upon the
principle cnuncatcd by the court, that
"thc people have no power i'm their pri-
mary or individual capacity to make
laws Our county being one of those
that adopted the prohibition referred to,
this decision will be of interest. The
question Of constitutionality, however,
was settled long ago SO far as our coun
ty is concerned, by jury in a Justices
court. The gentlemen composing that
jury will doubtless be gratfcd that the
Supreme Court has ratified their de-
cision.
But this decision has wider apDlica-
ton. The same principle is involved in
the act, of the same year, restraining
stock from running at large, which was
adopted in many counties by popular
vote. So the bill before the present
General Assembly, and which, if we mis-
take not, has passed one branch, allow
ing townships to adopt the stock law,
will have to be abandoned, and those
favoring herd law will have. to possess
themselves with patience until they can
work up n public sentiment to demand q
general law on the subject.

The Greeley Coalition.

The democrats have prevailed upon

County 70 call q Mass Convention at Paris
Hill the same day that the democratic
County Convention assemblies, for the
purpose Of trading off the County offices.
The language Of their call is, believing
that reform in the administration Of
public affairs is imperatively necessary,
and approving the principles enunciated
y the Liberal Republican Convention
held at Cincinnati. and intending to sup
port Horace Greeley for President and b.
Gratz Brown for Vice President &C.,
they invite those who agree with them to
meet TO nominate County officers. The
siguers claim to have been heretofore

all, did not vote our ticket last year-but
they claim 70 have been republicans at
some time in their lives. In CONVERSE
ton they will tell you they are as good
republicans as ever. but prefer Greeley
TO Grant for President They want 4
r.form in IIaitolsGl matters. Now. it they
are sincere in this. what need is there of
any coalition with the democrats in State
or County matters They are not OPP
posed 10 the administration OF GOV. Per-
ham, who is their neighbor, and with
waom they have grown up in political
life. and for whom they have voted re.
peatedly, and who has always been true
they have no complaint to make against
tue public administration of affairs in
our County, and are personal friends OF
the nOminees.-NOw what need OF form
ing any arrangement with the democrats,
in the State election, against the State
and County ticket? Can they not ex-
press their preferences as TO President
and Vice President in November, with
out any amalgamation with political op.

why the Democrats support Greeley.

first sustained the Cincinnati movement,
but which, after seeing the real object OF
the coalition. came out for Grant, says
1.-The democrats who use Greeley be.
lieve him to be most serviceabie
means of mischief, who will distract and
paralyze the party he has heretofore serv'
cd, and help them into power. They care
nothing for his former hostility TO them,
nor for the invcterste antagonism oil his
principles 10 theirs, simply because they
mean TO handle him as a tool. He is n
hammer with which they hope TO break
the heads OF his old friends and when he
has answered their purposes, they will
discard him with greater eagerness than
they now welcome him TO their embrace.
They want power; they want TO bring
back the days OF before the war; and
they are utterly insensible to the incon-
sisiency, the abandonment of principle

present position. bucause OF their reckless
lust of success"

The New York Evening Post which
supported the call for the Cincinnati Con-

support General Grant in preference to
Mr.. Greeley. It's reasons are that il
General Grant is re elected there will be
no general sweep OF offices, and the civil
service will remain in better hands than
any into which Mr. Greeley Is likely TO

of it would be II financial panic from all

tration will only let gold alone. and
neither contract nor expand, in short do
lust what Gen. Grants administration
has been doing. the elasticity of trade
and the increase Of population alone
will bring gold to par, just as it has been
brought from 500 to ll2.
