Remarkable Revival.

We learn that the people of Ebene-
ger and vicinity are being blessed with
one of the most powerful revivals ever
witnessed in that place. The meeting
was commenced by Rev. Mr.. Stamper,
of the NJ. f. Church, one week ago
to-day, and soon all denominations
united in the services, and up to We'd
nesday night there were about twenty
five conversions, while a large number
were still seeking, and doubtless many
more have been converted since. May
the good work spread.

No Weapons.

Lest we may not have been suf-
ficiently explicit on Sunday morning,
and in view Of the misrepresentation
made, we wish to state distinctly, that
at the time of the difficulty on Satur-
day between Mr.. Rule and Capt.
Ledgerwood, the former was entirely
unarmed. 1t is not his custom to
carry weapons of any kind, believing
as he does, that such a practice is
wrong, and ought to be discouraged in
every possible way.

Meeting in the sixteenth Dis,rio,

At meeting held in the sixteenth
civil district Saturday, at Thorn Grove,
there were forty or fifty voters present
and about ten candidates. Those pres
ent assembled in grove, and were first
addressed 10y Judge Lewis, the Demo-
cratic candidate for County Court
Clerk. The Judge spent fifteen minutes
in complimenting his competitors,
about thirty minutes in discussing the
Civil Rights Bill, aud about fifteen in
showing how much could be saved to
the county with tirstsclass expert
enced lawyer like himself in the clerk
Office.
Capt. John NJ. Harris was called up
on and told the audience how bad it
would be to spoil 50 good lawyer to
make only an ordinary clerk. His re-
marks were brief and to the point, and
were well received by those present,
nine tenths of whom were for him.
Speeches were then made by Esquire
Brandon, Thos. A. II. Nelson, Sheriff
Gossett, Attorney General Williams,
and others. The last named gentle
man said he had been a more success
full prosecuting officer than any of his
predecessors, Col. J. NJ. Thornburgh
and Col. j. NJ. Fleming not excepted.
! In view of this modest claim, we score
one, for Jimmy.
One Charles II. Flournoy was pres
ent in the interest of Mat Swan, and
being called upon by Policeman
Dempsey, whom the corporation seems
to be paying two dollars a day to en-.
gage in the canvass for county offices,
made low, vulgar, and abusive per-
sonal attack, on Sheriff Gossett, which
had only one effect, and that was to
make votes for him. He announced
himself a Republican, but when called
upon to say if he had ever voted the
Republican ticket, he admitted that he
had not.

THE LAST FINANCE MEASURE.

The Senate and House Confer
ence Committee have unanimously
agreed upon a report which mas
passed both houses. 1t fixes the
limit of the legal-tender notes at
1882 1000. 1t orders a redistrlbu-
ton of banking currency from the
Eastern and Middle States to the
Western and Southern to the
amount of s50,OOO,000; but not
more than s30,0O0,O00 shall he with
drawn during the fiscal year ending
July lst, rs.
The Eastern states are opposed
to a redistribution of the banking
currency, because they think that
will cause a contraction there; new
ertheless they are so unwise as to
oppose national free banking law
which ultimately will be placed on
the statute book, no matter what
section may oppose it.-Er.

THE temperance cause is making
progress in Canada. New societies
against the excessive use of spirit
uous liquors spring up in all parts
of the country. At Montreal an
association to "discouutenance bar
room drinking" has recently been
organized. The Executive Com
mittee, says the Gazette Of that city,
sis composed Of the leading mer-
chants, and the members, as rule,
belong to the same class. The
constitution, in its preamble, de-
plores the evils arising from intem-
perance, and especially those that
result from drinking at bars and
saloons. Feeling this, "the members
severally agree that they will not,
under any pretense whatever, drink
any alcoholic beverage of asy kind
in any bar,room, saloon or restaur-
ant within the limits of the city. of
Montreal, and that they will en-
deavor to add to the membership
of the association, and to extend
it's principles as wide as possible"

HOW REBORN GOVERNOR COLI
LECrS A DEBT.

Some DAYS ago dispatch to the
the Chicago Times contained state
ment that of Jacob Jenny, clerk
and messenger in the Executive Of
fee for nine years past, had been
removed by Gov. Taylor, in order
that he might appoint to the vacan-
cy young man who owed him
the Governor) sum OF money
which he could not collect, owing to
the inability or Discrimination OF the
debtor to pay. The Reform papers
promptly denied the story, and de-
nounced it as calumny upon the
Governor. But now comes Jenny,
and under oath, makes the follow
ing statement:
On or about the 25th Of April last, His ex-
ccl,cncy, Gov Tay.or, called dependent into
his, the Governors, Office, and said to de-
ponent in substance, that he regretted exceed
ingiy that q change must be made in the po-
siiion held by the deponent that he proposed
to appoint a person as dcponcnts successor
who was not as ut for the place as depouent !;
but the reason for making the change was
that the person to be appointed owed him,
the Governor, about 1880, and that he had no
other chance Of collecting the debt, except
to give him the position occupied by depo-
nent, and then deduct u portion OF his wages
each month, and apply the same in payment
of said Indebtedness, and that he could IN
that way collect the debt that when said
debt was in that way paid, deponent should
again have the place; and he, Governor,
wished deponcnt would find temporary en-
ployment about Madison, as he was positive
he would want deponcnt again next winter
when the Legislature met.
That the Governor requested dcponcnt to
remain in the Office for time to instruct the
person 80 to be appointed in the duties OF the
POSITION that the Governor said to depOncnt
he was very sorry to make the change, but
he could not aiioid to lose the money SO own
ing to him.
That when dcponent finally left, the Gov
crnor requested him, deponent, not to make
the conversations we had had on the subject
herein referred to, public.
We dislike to believe that the
Governor of q great state like Wis
consin, who receives an annual sal
airy of $4,000, has been guilty of so
contemplate business as this, but it
is easier to believe it than that
Jenny, who had been trusted clerk
for nine years, has committed per-
jury out of sheer spite for his
removal.
Gov. Taylor is not to blame for
being DESTROYS of collecting the
debts due him, but it is rather small
business for him to make the public
service subservient to that end, es-
pecially when he is held up as the
head and front of the Reform party.
