giving their temperance zeal a
practical turn by forming associ

pledge themselves not to pay for

coNsPlRAIoRs CONVICTED,

A trial of more than ordinary
interest and Importance TO the
general public, says the Pittsburg
Commercial, lately took place be-
fore the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions of Crawford county. 1t was
a case Of alleged conspiracy, in
which the proprietor of a news
paper, Mr.. Allen, of the Titus
vile Courier, was plaintiff, and
the defendants were certain mem
bers of the Titusville Printers
Union. Five or six months ago
the Union having ordered "a
strike against proposed reduc-
ton of wages and against being
paid in orders on Titusville mer-
chants" Mr.. Allen yielded to
their demand as to wages,but re-
jected the other demand, assert
ing his right to pay his employ
ees as he chose. While the SUBJ
ject was under consideration, at
least before the Union had receiv
ed this answer, Mr.. Allen tele-
graphed to Pittsburg for non Un-
ion printers. This dispatch ,hav-
ing become known to the Union,
its officers issued a circular in
which they warned members of
the society everywhere not to
come to Titusv1lle, and they also
appointed a committee whose du-
ty should be to prevent printers
from taking work at the Courier
office, a duty which the commit
tee fulfilled, to the serious deteri-
ment of'the proprietor. He there
fore prosecuted the printers for
conspiracy, but at their first trial

Mr.. Carpenter introduced a
joint resolution declaring it had
become the duty of the United
States 10 recognize Cuba as one
of the Independent nations OF the
earth, and that the United States
will observe strict neutrality be-
tween the contesting parties.
Referred to the Committee of
Foreign Relations.
The following is the full text
of Mr.. Carpenters joint resolu-
ton proposing to recognize the
independence of Cuba:
Whereas 1t is the clear and
undoubted right of any Ameri-
can colony to sever its connec
ton with the mother country and
establish itself as an indepen-
dent nation whenever the good
of its people requires; and,
Whereas, The people OF Cuba
have declared themselves free
and Independent of Spain, have
established government for
themselves and abolished negro
slavery and for more than five
years have successfully resisted
all efforts Of Spain to reduce
them to submission and re-es.

now being conducted with a de-
gree of barbarity shocking to all
Christendom and.there is no reas-
enable prospect that Spain will
ever be able to re-establish a
dominion over the people of Gu
ba; and,
Whereas, In consequence of the
proximity of the seat of war to
the United States, the war has
been and is injurious to the in
terests of the people of the Unit
ed States, and it is evident that
a prolongation of the contest
will result only in great suffer

A POSTAL CARD ITEM.

The first postal card was issued
on the 18th of May last year, ol
ten months and a half ago and
up to the 1st instant exactly 100
600, 900, or the whole amount es
timated for the first year, were
delivered to the Government. Oh
this number, the fifteen largest
cities in the country took 10000
000-New York city alone tax
ing 1,5OO, 900, or nearly eight
per cent. of the whole. Next to
New York came Boston, which
took about 100000, while the
city of Washington, required fol-
her use considerably over 1,OOO,,
900. 1t is estimated that about
O,00O, 900 more will be required
to meet the demand for the first
year since their introduction.

TOUCHING.

AT a Democratic county con-
vention in Indiana, the other day,
Il resolution was unanimously
passed, demanding the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the
salary grab law, and announcing
the stern refusal of the delegates
to vote for any man who was not
in favor of such repeal. 1t is per-
haps impossible to overrate hon
esty like this-partlcularly when
it is considered that the "salary-
grab law was repealed during
the last session of Congress.

How many of the 5000

standing? How many of the 5000
drinking shops of Ohio have COM
piled with the law fully? Scheid and
his attorney came into the court of
Lebanon, with the common idea
that they were pursuing lawful vo-
cation, and they hada right to ask
for protection. If they had, they
could not ask it by injunction. 1t
would be to make al injunction the
instrument of easy immor:ilit, in
the State and to violate law by law.
But what was the state of fact? The
whole case is fully stated in Judge
Smiths judgment at Lebanon. But
there is another ground which, in
Judgment, effeetually disposed OF
this motion. That is the third-yiz !:
That the allegations of the petition
are not true. He alleges that he
kept house where he conducted
business according to law. From
the nature of the case, the character
of his business in this respect is di-
rectIy in issue, and from the proof
it is perfectly clear to my mind that
instead of this it was place rhere
intoxicating liquors scere habitual-
ly sold in violation of the la,cs OF
the State, and Uhere gambling 'eas
constantly being carried on.
Such place as this our statue ex
pressIy declares to be a public nuis-
ance, and which being shovn in a
proper case could have to be order
ed by the court to shut up. Nor
the doctrine is perfectly ,oell settled
that a nuisance, either public or pri-
vate, may be abated even by sprce,
so no breach of the peace is commit
ted. Surely, then the means used
here, Uith the view Of abating this
nuisance, acre not unlarful or in
derogation of the rights of the
plaintiff, for as the keeper of such
an establishment the maintainer of
a public nuisance, and gambling
house, be can have no standing IN a
court of equity, arhen he asks to be
protected in his unlascful and crimi-
nal business. The INDUCTION soill be
dissolved at plaintiffs costs.
Four fifths of all the saloons OF
Ohio are exactly on the same con-
dition-the saloons are on ali hands
violating the laao, but scho enforces
the lac? We come back, then, to
the great principle-sOciety must
enfore its la,cs, or they are void.--
Who is society? You and Land all
around US, ,oho have any sense Or
intelligence. The grand jury Of
Hamilton county has just adjourn
ed without even the pretense of in
dieting anybody for keeping house
of ill-fame or illegal drinking estab-
lishment, or a gambling house! Such
is human justice and human lar.

APPOINTMENTS.

The attention Of the opposition
anti-nepetism press generally is
respectfully invited to the alarm
ing fact that Governor Allen, has
recently appointed three broth
ers-in laws of his nephew, Sena-
ter Thurman, to office. and that
the new Democratic officers of
the State Penitentiary have given
their nephews subordinate offices
in that institution. Remember
ing what a howl of disappreba
ton went up from these "unco
good"papers whenever the Presi-
dent happened to appoint one of
his relatives to office, the perfect
silence which they now maintain
concerning the same practice, on
the part of another. is, to say the
least, not a little remarkable and
strongly suggests there is, or has
been, good deal of insincerity
somewhere.

DISPOSITION OF THE DEAD:

For more than a hundred years,
persons interested in domestic
reform have been writing in ia
vor OF some other method of dis
posing of the dead than that of
burying them. Cremation, or
burning, is the substitute crdin-
arily proposed for burying.-
Some of the arguments in favor
of cremation are these: There
would be no fouling of the air
or water, as is now the case when
when bodies go into decomposi-
ton in the ground. There weuld
be great saving of expense in
the matter of shrouds. coffins.
and in the conducting of funer-
ais. The cost of cemetery lots
and monuments would also be
saved. Those who favor this
mode of disposing of the dead
advocate having the cremation
superintended by skilled per-
sons, and in place especially
prepared for the purpose. An
arrangement something like a
chemical furnace is prepared,
whereby the gass generated by
heating, as well as the tissues,
shall be consumed. Entire ere
nations can be effected in about
half an hour. The ashes, togeth-
er with the mineral portions of
the bones, may then be preserv-
ed in vases or be buried. This
was substantially the plan ofthe
Romans and other Eastern ma
tons. We learn that steps are
being taken in New York to
form a society to carry out this
plan. 1t is said that a large
number of persons OF influence
have naturally pledged them
selves to direct by will that their
bodies be burned. This is a test
OF sincerity. Let cremation be
come popular, and who would
not prefer TO be purified by fire
rather than to be corrupted by
decay.
