WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Is, 1874.

All the members OF the Cabinet were present
at the meeting yesterday. The President sub
mitted the question whether it would be expe-
dent or proper to send communication to
Congress with respect to Louisiana affairs, and
the subject was fully discussed. So far as can
he learned from official sources no message will
be sent to Congress concerning Louisiana at
this time. The message proposed was simply
a reitera.ion Of the Presidents former message,
reci,;ng the course pursued by the AdmDlstra-
ton with respect to the Kellogg government,
and leaving Congress to deal with the matter.

The temperance question is receiving
a great deal of attention in East Doug
las at present, On Fast Day union
mass meeting was held, and a commit
tee of ladies and gentlemen appointed
TO wait on the liquor dealers. On Sat
urday the ladies called upon one of the
principal saloons, the proprietor Mr.. l..
Simpson, having refused to see the gen
tlemen, and were received very politely.
He was asked if he thought it right to
sell liquors, and responded, 3" Yes, as
right as for grocers to sell groceries.
One of the ladies then read several
passages from the Bible, remarked,
"Let us see what the Lord says" On
hearing the Scriptures relating to the
anger of the Lord with drunkards and
those who sell liquor, the proprietor
turned pale, trembled violently, and
clutched the counter convulsively for
support. The many loungers in the
saloon were stupefied, and only offered
assistance when urged by the ladies.
On being led into another roomh he cried
several times 80 God have mercy
on my soul % Immediately his tongue
began swelling, filling his mouth to
such an extent as to render it impossible
to articulate.
The ladies did all in their power to
render him comfortable, and a physi-
clan was sent for, who, on arriving, pro-
nounced it case of apoplexy, and in
short time the man died. The commu-
nifty was, of course, startled with the
news, and the feeling for Mr.. Simpson
is intense. The ladies all agreed that
it was the direct work of the Lord, and
even some of the frequenters of the
saloon sacquiesced in this decision.-
