The Temperance Nov emsnt.

By our Ohio exchanges We learn
that the temperance crusade, is still
progressing in that State with some
what varied success. Atsome points,
it is reported that every saloon and
store at which ardent spirits were
sold is closed at others there seems
10 have been little done, while at
Others again, there has sprung up an
organized opposition to the move
ment, which has caused riots and
fighting, more or less severe.
In Cincinnati: there were between
700 and 500 women on the streets
one day last week, organized in diff
ferent bands, visiting saloons and
groceries &c, the Mayor of the City,
in compliance with the request Of a
portion of the citizens, issued proc
lamatiOn, couched in very courteous
terms forbidding any obstruction of
the sidewalks by the crusaders, and
asking them to abstain from any &c
ton in contravention of his wishes.
The ladies there have continued to
hold meetings, and visit the saloons
quietly, praying, and trying by per
suasion to induce the sellers of ar
dent spirits to give up the traffic.
The movement is spreading to 9th
er States and cities; Wheeling, Par
kersburg, Charleston, and other
places in this State are having their
crusade, while in New York, Boston,
Worcester, Albany, Baltimore,
Lynchburg, Indianapolis, Chicago,
the ladies are moving, all seeming de-
termined to devote themselves to
banishing the sale of ardent spirits
from the land.

To the ColOred:Citizens OF Hunt
ington.

During the first year or two after
the war it was the custom of the rad
zeal politicians to take charge of the
colored voters and relieve them of all
responsibility as to how they should
vote, by giving them tickets and tea
ching them that they must vote
as thew were instructed; the penalties
threatened for violation of the orders
given was terrible picture Of what
terrible people the democrats were;
the 'raw-head and bloody-bones" was
in constant requisition, and the means
used was certainly effective; it kept
the colored vote in solid mass, and
it was welded thus by the radicals,
greatly to their profit.
We thought that policy was about
PLAYED out until the meeting for col
ored citizens few nights ago, when
we round the same tactics still IN
vogue, and that the radicals expected
10 control the colored vote of Hunting
ton by the same means they used five
years ago amongst the Ignorant freed
men Of the South.
We have only this to say in
relation to the matter; the colored cit
izen asks to be treated in the same
manner as the white man; he will mol
be as long as he permits himself to be
used as a tool by radical demagogues,
to the prejudice of the opposite party.
If they wish to be considered freemen'
they must act as freemen; they should
examine political questions for them
selves, hearing both sides, and then
vote as they think best, and not as
they are ordered by DR.. Long and
his radical masters.

The West Virginia Journal thinks
our allusion to Washington was un-
fortunate for us, in deprecating the
election ofradicals to the control of
the city government of Huntington,
inasmuch as she radical ring that has
been in control of the Washington
city government has built up the
city, and increased the valae Of the
property there. The difficulty is
that the radicals always get so much
for so little. The investigation now
going on in Washington as to the
doiugs of the Ring, is rather DANA
ging to the radical party, and sup
ports our view of the question. We
want the improvements made, as
fast as the city is able to pay for
them, but We object 10 paying for
more than are made, or to plunging
the city in debt for improvements
that cannot be afforded. We give
an item from the investigation now
going on in Washington. The re-
port is from a Republican paper.

Board of Public Works ever did any
work there? Al don't know Of
my own knowledge who did it.
Q.-Are you certain that there
was any tagging laid theret Al
think there is.
Judge Wilson said to the commit
tee that he was informed that there
was no work done there by the Board
Of Public Works, and that there were
no flag footways laid anywhere near
that park. In this he was correct.
There are 10 sidewalks of flag nearer
to this reservation than the Capitol.
There is an old brick sidewalk along
New Jersey avenue in front of this
reservation but it has been laid at
least fifteen years-so long that it is
nearly worn out. The reservation is
a common broken by gullies, ard un-
improved in any way, yet the bOad
charged S14, 1856 against the United
States for work it never did around
this square or near it; and Same
swears he measured it, and then Bah
cock approved it, Judge Wilson
said this was sufficient for the present.
The counsel for the District would
need time to get up an explanation
for these little discrepancies, and in
the mean time they might as well
prepare themselves generally on this
question of measurement. He pro-
posed to 90 into it thoroughly.

Then they commissioned Chase to

REASONS WHY

THE REMINGTON FAMILY SEW.
ING MACHINES ARE SUPERB
OR TO ALL OTHERS:
1st- Their SIMPLICITY-The use Of
them is very easily acquired, and any
girl Of ordinary intelligence is caps-
bic OF keeping them in order.
2nd-The CONSTRUCTION Of the Ms
chine is such that it may be run at a
higher rate Of speed than any Shut
tie Machine now in the market. In
factories, where the speed has been
registered, over 1000 stitches per min
ute have been attained with ease.
Sd-Their DURABILITY.-Being 30
strong in all their parts, and fitted
with great mechanical nicetv, and be-
ing free from the harsh, jarring move
ments, and friction, 50 common in in
ferior machines, they will wear along
time withour repair Of any kind.
4th.-Their ADAPTABILITY-By a
simple change Of the needle and
thread, they will sew the finest cam
brio or the heaviest leather. All the
various kinds Of boots and shoes,
buck-skin sewing, clothing, caps
stays, shirts, nantes and dress ma
king can be done with equal facility,
5th.-The sHUTTLE-BeiDg large, it
will carry great quantity Of thread
thus saving, in great measure, the
trouble Of filling the bobbins.
6th.-The means Of getting at the requir-
ed TENSION on the Threads is 20
simple and complete, that an even
back-stich on BOTH sIDEs Of the mate
rial which will not rip or ravel) can
be readily obtained.
7th.-They will SOW with equal facility
Silk, Twist, Linen Thread and COM
mon Spool Cotton.
Sth.-They have no rotary cams, cog
wheels or lever arms TO make noise,
run hard or to get out OF order
