THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.
Reports From Various Points,

STEUBENvILLE, O., March 1.-THE
wolnen's war against intemperance is
making rapid strides in this. city, and
the excitement is very great. Yester-
day committee of women visited the
doctors and drug stores. Most of the
doctors signed the pledge not to pre-
scribe whisky except for medical and
chemical purposes. The drug store
men signed not to sell whisky except
on prescriptions. 1t is thought the
women will not get on the streets be
fore Wednesday next. Stores will
close from two till three O'CLOCK to-day,
to enable the proprietors and employees
to attend prayer meetings.
CADIz, O., March THE relics of the
last saloon were offered at auction to-
day by the President and ladies of the
Temperance League for>the benefit OF
the cause. The government license
sold for over one hundred dollars. One
old funnel brought fifteen dollars; a
pint flask, eleven dollars; corkscrew,
seven dollars; broken glass, five dol
lars; over one hundred TASKS and bot
ties were sold at fifty cents to three
dollars each. Never has there been SO
much rejoicing here.
BARNEsVILLE, O., March 10.-Ths
w. w. " is now fully organized.
Committees have visited the drug
stores and saloons, and have been re-
ceived with kindness by all venders OF
the fuid. We look for general move
at an early day, but the w. moves
slow, but are determined, and the eX'
element is unabated.

Constitutional Convention.

March 4.-The Convention resolved
itself into committee of the Whole on
the Preamble and Bill of Rights, and
the recognition of the Supreme Being
in the Constitution thereupon became
the principal topic of discussion. Mr..
Waddle offered substitute adding to
the present recognition Of God an invo-
cation of Divine blessing. This substi-
tute was rejected after a prolonged dis
cussion-yeas 20, nays 80. The Pre-
amble of the present Constitution was
then adopted without change. The
Bill OF Rights was then taken up, and
section 5 SO amended as to authorize
juries composed of more than six jurors
ia courts inferior to Common Pleas.
An amendment to section 6, forbid
ding the death penalty, was lost, 16
yeas to rs nays.
Section was so amended as 10 make
suspension of habeas corpus dependent
upon legislation by the General AS
senbiy.
March 5--A committee of five to in
vest;gate accounts of stationery fur
nished the Convention Was authorized
and appointed.
Consideration Of the Bill of Rights
was resumed. section was amended
so as to authorize juries of any number
not less than six in civil cases in courts
inferior to Common Pleas where the
amount i'm custody does not exceed
500, or where the right of appeal shall
exist. The Preamble and Bill of
Rights were then recommitted.
The report of elective franchise was
nexttaken up and several amendments
offered, but none acted upon.
March 6.-Petitions For taxation of
church property; for legislative regula-
tion of the liquor traffic; against union
of church and state.

From our own Correspondent.l
The MOore-Bone Affair in Mar
tins Ferry.

Mr. Recognizing the pow!
er of the press as mighty agent forl
good in the land-often accomplishing
moral reform when the ends ofjustice,
in the hands of its profeSsed vOtaries
and sworn administrators are only
prostitused to base and selfish purpo-
ses. We feel, in view of recent devel-
opments of the unfortunate death of
young Bone, that it is vain to trust in
the hand of man even though he be an
executor of the law. We disclaim all
intention of prejudicing Mr.. Moore's
case. We have only pity for him in
his misfortune, and sympathy for the
bereaved. But we must be permitted
to express what we believe to be the
sense of the better class of this commu-
nifty, contempt unqualified for the evil
dent attempt to first smother this case
by the knowing ones, and the manifest
indifference to the demands of Justice
in the Justices proceedings. Look at
the facts: The man was reported to
have bilious fever-then bursted gall
then he died-then public clamor
desired a post naortem, then his head
was found badly fractured; and not till
the potent influence of the press was
brought to bear, did the CALLED jades
vince Then the formality, cold as
poor John Bone, was gone through,
of examining the case, merely to see il
there was reason to send the case for
ward, and the accused was set at liber-
ty, and this too in the face of positiUt
testimony as to the hitting, and strong
corroberative proof as to the aChO, hON
L Of
swearing to the fracture, which caused
Bones DEATH Why all this? We
want to remind every officer of the
law first that they are not only the GUS
todians of the peace, and security of So
ciety, but also in the same proportion
the servants of the people, and in their
Official capacity will repudiate all and
every attempt on the part of any man
to so rule as merely to box his compass
for place and position. We denaunce
the recent transactions of this case as
an outrage upon community, and offer.
ing a premium upon vice, and virtual.
ly saying to society, look out for your.
selves, while do the same.' A mans
life is not worth, under such state o.
things, more than the trouble to take il
by the bandits who prowl about and &c
unwhipped of justice. We have some
thing at stake in this matter, and mean
to protect it, and if anything here
seems harsh let it be remembered, the
bludgeon of the assassin is not pleas
ant reflection either. Let the people
of both Martins Ferry and Bridgeport
rise in the majesty of their power, and
use tie powers that be, to wipe oui
rowdyism in their midst, by electing
responsible, live, energetic, fearles;
officers. Then can we walk in securi
ty, and feel we have rights, and that
they are respected. OBSERVER.

COLERAIN LOCALS.

We are always pleased when editors
notice US in their papers, that is if they
say something good about us, but we
look upon it as kind of IL left-hand
compliment when they inform the
world that near dozen of our citizens
are under arrest for riot; there is but
one of our citizens so charged, and he
has only lived with us about two years,
the rest OF them are citizens of Harrison
and Jefferson counties. Those who
wish to know their names, and hear
all about the "Gray's Ridge Dog Case"
can have their curiosity gratitied by
Court at the set time. Not
wishing to PREJUDICE the case we refrain
from comments.
We are gratifed to learn that Jacob
Maui has been appointed Commits
sioner Of the B. & q. Pike. From his
well known business qualifications and
integrity the public will feel assured
that their interests will be duly guard
led. If a few more WOODEN MEN who
are holding Office in this county and
neglecting their duties would resign
the people would have renewed cause
for thankfulness.
A Postoffice is good thing, but we
think that four in one half of our little
township is more than the convenience
of the public requires. Morning View
is little over ona mile from COlerain,
it is on the route from Mt. Pleasant to
Wheeling; Cope's is one and a half
mile from Clierain, and it is one mile
from the route from Wheeling to
CadiZ. If they have three mails each
week from Cope's to Colerain, letter
mailed at Cope's ON Saturday afternoon
will reach Colerain on the next Tues
Gay, aud Wheeling on Wednesday eve
ming; but this is not the only trouble
that threatens in the fnture; if Colerain
should be discontinued where will
Cope's get their mails? This new Post
office l., likely to be an Elephant on
ON their hands.
A Preacher who is said to be a mis-
sionary fran Salt Lake City preached
at Pennington on last Sabbath and
Monday night; some of the men in that
locality speak very highly of his SER
mons, but we have not heard of any of
the ladies' being candidates for Salt
Lake hOnOrs; an old preacher once re-
marked in our hearing that some men
were like a young robin, when you ap-
preached them they open their mouth
and swallow everything you gave
them and not ask whether it was poison
or healthy food
The Guerney Friends recently closed
series of meetings at Mt. Pleasant,
they invited other denominations to
join with them, Il large number were
converted. 1t appeared like new de-
parture to see a Bible in Quaker
Church and hear Psalms and Hymns
sung there.
The farm long known as the Balder-
ston farm, was sold to JAS. Beck, at S65
per acre. The Benz. Gray farm that
was Offered for sale last week, was not
sold, the present owner having urgent
business away from home on the day
of sale.
We are in receipt of the Bon Nor,
many thanks young men, draw ON us
when y ou are hard up.
