Patient Continuance In well
Doing.

The most potent advocacy Of any
causei is not to be found in the speeches of
those who are put forward as its teachers
or proclaimers. While we would not 10
the smallest degree underrate the work
performed by our speakers and writers,
yet We believe there is more power for
good in the open, undoubted. and con-
slant faithfulness of the individual MEM
bers, than in the most eloquent lecture
ever delivered.
This is true not only of the temper
ance cause but even of religion itself.
and In fact of any cause worthy of sue
cess. Eloquent preachers may arouse
the people and bring members into the
church, and yet have accomplished no
permanent good, unless the converts by D
patient continuance in we'll doing seek
for glory and Immortality. Without an
earnest faith developed IN act the young
disciple will soon fall away, and his last
state be worse than the first. The
church that lives nearest right willexert
the most powerful influence upon the
community. This principle IS equally
true OF the temperance cause. Our
popular lecturers may enlist host of
recruits but If they prove unfaithful to
their obligations the world viii soon lose
respect for the order, and its power for
good will have been greatly impaired
Every one must know this 10 be so. and
yet we see many who. have assumed the
sacred VOWS of the good Templer quick
lY forget them, or at least violate them
Their judgment and eonscienees incline
them to total abstinence, and yet they go
back again to the deadly poison that IN
mans them, and this too often against
their wills. We can account for this
upon 20 other hypothesis than that Of
liability to resist the continual tempta
ton set before them by the liquor
dealer.
ASnrely men who in their sober hours

stain altogether from intoxicating drinks,
aud have taken vow to do so, would
keep that VOW if they could. Those who
have never felt the burning, guawing,
craving appetite for stimulants that
strong drink engenders, can hardly ap-
preciate the struggle, the once habituai
drinker has to nuke in order to gain the
mastery over his weakness. Let as then
rather pity the poor victim, aud censnre
those who tempt him to his ruin.
To the good TeBplers then we will say
if We would enable the weak to stand.

we live. if we would have success crown

A Step In fIIe Right Direction.

We sea that. committee in the Meth
odist Conference, North, have reported
unanimously in favor. Of so amending
their discipline as to prohibit any mem
Der from using as beverage, selling OF
manufacturing intoxicating spirits We
trust that the amendmendment may be
adopted by the Conference, and thus fur
nish a noble example for the imitation
of other religious bodies. When all The
churches, and protesting christians shall
have done their duty, in regard to this
subject, the friends Of this reformation
will have an auxiliary that its enemies
can not withstand The fact i, that
Church and State, as well as all good
men, are becoming alarmed at the iu-
roads, that the minister of intemperance
is making on society, and are seeking &c
check mate its rayages before our fair
and happy land is entirely destroyed

of humanity to know that We are not

Our cause Is sweeping with unimpeded

predict that before the ight of another
deSde Of years, it viii havg chained the
hydra so that few # any shall suffer from

cls-Tly indicate this as an almost certain
result in this country, Il the advocates
of total abstinauce are true TO their prin-
ciples. 1t IS very encouraging to know
that in other countries also. the cause Is
rapidly gaining ground. The late papers
bring us coed gidiugs from old England

from the above statement, she IS arousine

so many of her best men. God speed

Congress Ii to he commanded by lobby
whose members are paid by railway COM
panies and land grant spectators; If the
halls of legislation are to be overrun and con-
trolled by these brokers 10 public virtue and
political morality; IL private corporations can
ny the use of lobby appliances step up to
the Treasury and take the peoples money,
then the sooner Congress dssolves
and our government is abandoned and
the republic is turned over to Jay Gould or
some other railroad free lance under nine
hundred and ninety years lease, the better it
will be for the country. We should be more
content 10 ab,ndol our government to the abso-
iute control of some shrewd railroad man than
to submit to the mastery Of the influences
which now surround Washington. This lobby
IA an irresponsible body. Its members are tue
Hessans Of legislation. They fight a
measure today and support 1t to-
morrow, as they fad profit in their
course. Their business is to make money.
They make il by robblng tho Treasury, and
this they do by making combinations in Wash
ington. buying and selling Congressman, tam
perins with the records in the Land Office, and
acting together in such force that they can
override the will of the honest members and
the expressed desire of the people We have
no doubt that 1.-THE record. OF Legislation could
DO torn open and brought to light there
would be found frauds 50 stupendous
and manifest that they would dwarf the Wild
est triumphs OF Tammlny. This whole rail-
way business has been tainted with fraud.
Millions have been stolen or diverted from
their proper uses. and not one word do we
hear Of investigation. Many of the men who
passed these bills are still in public life, aud
we are bound TO suppose -taat there will DO no
investigation that shalt begin 80 near at home.
In this extremity our reliance is wholly upon
President Grant. He has the power to sup
press this leg Station. He cannot permit the
masters of the lobby to continue their furays
upon the Treasury and the Land O1ice. He
should not approve single land grant bill
until the whole policy of subsidies is revised
and established upon wise aud economical
basis. AS it is now there is no subsidy policy
that is not apt to become the means Of fraud
upon the Treasury. There must be an end to
this immunity, and the country will be dis
posed to hold the President to a grave respon-
sibity unless he falls back upon his constitu-
tionai prerogatiye, and puts his veto upon the
whole business. AS 1t is we thank the honest
members of the House for defeating the Bay
field steal. 1t is good case to mark the
opening OF the crusade.

A QUIETUs TO THE ERIE RING.-Ths agony
Of the friends and admirers of the rasoals of
the Erie Ring in the Legislature is over, and
Senator O'Brien is triumphant. In the face of
p persistent and annoying opposition the Erie
classification Repeal bill, drawn up by Mr..
Southmayd, and presented early in the ses-
sion by Senator O'Brien, has successfully
passed both houses, and now awaits
the Governors signature to become
law. A desperate effort was made
In the Assembly TO recommit the bill, for the
purpose Of expunging the Senate amendment
prohibiting the election of any director of the
Atlantic and Great Western Railroad as a d.
rector Of the Erie company, but it was unsuc-
cessful. The argument urged by Mr.. Hustled
and MIR. AlyorH that the bill, as passed, Is un-
constitutional, will not hold water, and we
may, therefore, expect the Governor TO make
The bill a law Immediately.

comes indignant now over sen-dollar brfbes,
and who thought quarter Of a million small
percentage upon fremens claims! Look at
the President Of the wildcat savings bank,
sheltered under the wing of one of the fac
lions that clam0r about reform These are
specimens OF the pipes through which the
tide OF rottenuess flowed from the fountain
robbers.
We shall turn from the tools 10 the masters.
One OF them is dead, the rest are living. We
know that in the heyday of their dishonest
thriving no bargain was too corrupt for their
united support If 1t but promised robbery OF
the people and profit to themselves. How
their interests became complicated aud inter-
laced Wa are beginning to see. 1t can be seen
in no more glazing instances than in the two
vultures, Gould and Tweed, sweeping down
on the carcass of Wood. They knew INSTINCT
lively 1t was carrion, and out OF its corruption
fattening to the "Ring." Let every flimsy
pretence OF higbwayman sentimentality be
stripped from these public enemies--enemies
to all that Is warm, pure and noble in the
human heart, in their chIcanery, treachery,
cold cunning and high-handed defiance of hon
esty and Justice. Terrible, truly, are the les
sons these examples of unmasked dshouor
preach. Let the people take them deeply to
heart. As Samson found honey in the carcass
OF the lion he slew in the vineyards of Tim
natb, so may the people who have slain thu
wild beast Of Tammany find wholesome truths
within the very abhorrent remains. Let the
first be the men and characters to be avoided
in choice Of rulers.
