state Temperance Convention In Boston.
BosToN, Jan. "a, 1871.
The state temperance convention, called by
the Alliance, opened in the Meionaon this morn
ing and will last two days. Some two or three
hundred representatives of different sections of
the state were present at the opening of the ses-
sion. 1t was called to order by Rev. Gilbert Ha.
ven, d. D., chairman of the committee of ar
engagements, who said the convention was called
upon the basis Of new departure. After lis
tening to brief speeches, the permanent officers
were chosen, with Hon. John l. Baker, of Bever-
ly, as president; among the vice presidents were
Hon. George S. Ball, of Upton; Hon. L. W.
Pond, Hon. p Emory Adrich and Mr.. S. b.
Staples, OF Worcester; Hon. G. NJ. Buttrick, of
Barre; and Rev. G. L. Demraest.
The usual committees were chosen, with Rev
DR.. Haven as chairman OF the committee ON res
olutions and address. DE-. Charles Jewett ad
dressed the convention upon the present status of
the temperance enterprise, and made stirring
speech filled with interesting "reminiscences of
his experience. At the close of his address, the
committee on resolutions made partial report,
assigning the order of the papers and limiting
LhS iNahluS7 hloNuoalOu vi lllG SEVERAL papers
to one hour each, and the several speakers linn
tied to ten minutes. The first essay was upon
"rhe Power of the Pledge" which was read by
Mr.. John +. Coles, Of the Washingtonian home.
The essay was followed by discussion, partici-
pated in by Rev. Edwin Thompson, Rev. George
Trask, Hon, Mr., Clark of Wnchendon, and
others, all bearing testimony to the Importance
Of the Subippt Of Mr. Colnef ncSov
The proper means of impressing the import
anee Of total abstinence on the minds of chill
dren, by means of proper instruction in the
common schools and elsewhere, was discussed.
DIR. Jewett said there should be a sort of school
book on temperance, containing selections for
defamation from the best temperance authors.
Ii nobody prepared such a book, he would
do it sometime himself. He also made a
plea for the introduction of temperance with
lyceum lectures, and they could be turned to
account if the people demanded it. Rev. Mr..
Conant, state agent Of the Rhode Island tenn
perance union, gave an interesting account of
the progress of the cause in his state. He said
the state was as thoroughly canyassed as any
state In the union. The good templars, state
union and Catholic temperance society were
doing good work. Nearly all Of the local divi. |
Slons Of these could point to numbers of re-
formed men Us an evidence of their efficiency. |
They were troubled in Rhode Island with q |
license liquor law, which was essentially per.
missiye system,
The proceedings will be continued tomorrow, |
and the programme will include speeches,
essays and discussions on various phases of the
temperance reform.

SENATOR ROBBED.
IhleYes are selecting senators us their victims
A few weeks ago Senator Morton was robbed in
New York, then his colleague, Mr.. Pratt, was a
victim, and now the list is sweled by the rob-
berry Of Senator Cragin of New Hampshire.
Inc senator, in company with a friend named
Miller, started from New York on Monday nigbt
IN the through train for Washington, talk
ing sleeping car, and on his arrival here
discovered that he was minus his gold watch
and about seventy dollars in cash, and his friend
OF about two hundred dollars in cash. An in.
curry into the affair by the detectives has de-
yeloped the fact that on the same train four
other parties declared that they were robbed of
various amounts, but they had got off the train
at Baltimore.
