est OF the city was sgainst the Republi.
cans. On the other hand the temperance
people took no particular interest In the

TEE question Of submitting the issue oI
license or NO license after the 1st Of May
next, to the voters Of the city, was up In
Council last night, and both branches
voted in favor Of such submission, but the
amendment in the First Branch fixing
the Goth Of this month as the day for a
vote upon the subject, did not reach the
Second Branch before adjournment, and
hence was not acted upon. The vote in
that branch in favor Of the naked ques-
tion Of submission was very close, IL to
II, and shows that it is very doubtful
Notwithstanding all that has been said
about an expression OF the people on the
subject, whether a chance to test the
popular sentiment can be obtained.

TEE remarks Of Mr.. LARAMIE to the
ladies who visited his saloon on Monday
evening cannot be considered as very
creditable TO him in any point OF view,
Leaving out Of sight their utter sophistry,
inthe way of argument or justification.
they were wanting in the element Of re-
spect, either self respect or respect for
his visitors. We allude specially to the
following paragraph in his address to
them: ..a e..
"You have cowardly husbands, or they
would take your place in the front ranks.
You have enough to do to take care Of
your families, and the husband who lets
you go out TO fight battle is q coward;
a man without principle, man who Is
not man, but peTeon who ought to
wear skirt instead OF breeches."
Properly translated the import of this
language is as follows: "You have not
enough womanlY sense OF propriety Of
your own to keep you from coming to
such place IS my saloon. You are the
dupea Of your coWardly husbands, by
whose wish or connivance no doubt you
are hero. They have the will to do the
work in which you are engaged, but be-
ing towards, they are afraid 10 come here,
and SO send yeu as their tools. II your
husbands were real msn-men Of "prin-
ciple"-they would see that you were
Kept under proper restraint at home"
Mr.. LARAMIE may think that such Ian.
gusge addressed TO q lot Of women stand.
ing in his presence is creditable to him
Most people who read it will think very
differently.

Improvements are the order Of the
day. Many old buildings are being
repaired, and several new ones are
already In process Of erection, and
during the summer II ls expected
that twenty-five or thirty new dwellings
will be built. Our new rolling mill, said
to be one OF the finest In the Ohio Valley,

men, and when 1t commences operations
permanently II will lnfuse new LIE into

pended operations for few days, bat will
resume again when all the necessary ar
rangements are fully completed. The B.
& D. r. r. is pushing forward the work
on the new depot with vigor, and when
completed twill be an honor TO the place.
Mr.. g. 8. McFadden, as has already been

will soon be In condition 10 attract the
eye OF the behoider. This Is as 1t should
be, for 1t Is a curiosity that is worth pre-
serving and can be made q pleasant sum

profit to It's owner. We think that II Is
right that 1t should be preserved-though
II 1t ls composed Of ashes, as suggested BY
your correspondent q few days ago, and
proves good fertilizer, as also suggested
BY him-we fear It may disappear, and
finally cover the surfaces OF our many
gardens But Of this we have no fears,
as we think the material composing
It Is Of the same nature as the soil
at It's base. Near the mound stands
our public school building. 1t Is a fine
edihce, and when the surroundings are
finished, as they will be in time, 1t will be
an honor TO the town. The school Is
progressing finely under the care Of q
principal and his five assistants. A Nor
NAL Department Is attached TO the school
and at present there are In II alone about
go students. A considerable number of
those are either boarders or are coming
from some distance in the country. Our
District Court Is now in session and has
been sitting for more than two weeks, and
we understand that number Of important
cases have been tried. Judge Wilson
seems to understand the secret Of doing
business with dispatch, and things are
generally lively In the court room:
The temperance reform movement has
reached even US, and although our ladies
are not as yet holding meetings in the
saloons, they are holding weekly prayer
meeting alternately in the different
churches, and are daily actively employ
ed in circulating their pledges. They
have four different pledges-0ne for the
one for the hotel keepers, one
Tor the physlcians, and one for the citizens
In general.
The citizens hold weekly meetings and
have formed themselves into an orgsnizs-
tion known as the MoundSriR0 Temper
1nce Reform ASSOCIATION. What will
grow out OF all Of it we cannot tell, but
we predict that 8 public sentiment will
DO created against the use Of alcoholic
as beverage, that will at least
drive all respectable people to lead sober
lives. So mote 1t e"When God and the
women move something must be DONE"
