Some time ago we mentioned the
temperance revival which was being
conducted in Ohio by the ladies'.
They have been visiting the saloons
in various towns, holding prayer meet
ings and emptying the liquor into the
cutters, and have met in the main
with much success. Yesterday they
ran across a fellow in New Vienna,
however, who couldn't be coaxed, ex-
horted, or prayed into concession.
When the ladies entered his saloon
he threw dirty water upon them, and,
as they still remained, commenced
drenching them with beer until finally
they retired to the steps, where they
continued the meeting. Meantime,
Mr.. Van Pelt, the saloon keeper,
stood at the window cursing them
roundly, while they prayed for the
brute. The men of the place have
taken the matter up, and propose to
demolish Mr.. Van Pelt's shanty at a
very early period.

There are precedents for the long
continued and existing mild winter
weather. In 1876. 1873, and 174O jan
uary and February were summer
months" In 1851 spring commenced
in January, and the frost was all out
of the ground in February. In 1856
January was like March, and March
like May. The year 1773 was also
marked BY very mild winter. The
New York Gazette and Poet Boy of
Feb. n, ITO, reports that last Wed
nesday the weather was SO uncommon
warm that many young lads went into
the river to swim" These records
are of the last century, but they indi-
cate that then, certainly, winters even
milder than the present were not I'M
common things in the Eastern States.

The action of the House of Repre-
sentatives on the 10, shows that there
is majority Of members in favor Of
increasing the volume of currency.
Mr.. Wilson moved to suspend the
rules and adopt resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Currency and
Banking to report a plan to augment
the circulating medium, and on this a
vote was taken-yeas, 135; nays, SO.
It requiring two thirds vote to sus-
pend the rules the resolution did not
prevail, but the vote is important as
showing the unmistakable will Of the
House.

RADICAL MEETING LAST NIGHT.-A meet
ing of colored Radicals was held last night
in front of the Davenport House, on Broad
street, to express satisfaction with the action
Of Wednesdays Convention. In numbers
and enthusiasm it did not excel, and, indeed,
hardly equalled the Smith meeting which
took place at the Custom House Monday
evening. Speeches were made by George
Arnold, of North Carolina, A. P. Brooks, c.
J. MaIord. and Landon Boyd. Burgess was
described AS political saint, while John
Amber Smith and his supporters, Lewis
Lindsey, Joseph NJ. Humphreys, and w. j.
W. Bowe, were freely abused.
The troubles in Louisiana were comment
ed upon as an evidence of the lingering
spirit of rebellion in the southern people,
and the civil,rights bill was discussed in o
manner wholly at variance with Mr.. Bur-
gess's published views. One speaker, at
least, hoped that Congress would pass that
measure at the next session, and not leave it
upon the hands of the members of the Forty
fourth Congress. More attention was paid
to Mr.. Smith than to our candidate for Con-
gress, and intimations were made that the
former bad rather contribute to Conserya.
tive success than 10 yield 10 successful
rival in his own party.
The meeting was in no sense of the word
success, and was nothing like as large as
the ordinary ward meetings which assem-
bled to uphold Charles Fl. Porter when be
was the peculiar champion OF negro rights
in this vicinity.

LOCAL MATTERS.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAaE.--A negro named
John Samuels was arrested on w ednesday
by a Mr. Crittenden, charged with the
shocking crime of attempting to outrage the
person of well-known lady who lives in
the lower part OF the county. 1t appears
that the lady had been to Curl's Neck to see
a sister who was sick, and in returning to
her home had to pass through piece OF
woods, where she was assaulted by the
negro. He rushed upon her, seized her
around the waist, and attempted to throw
her down. She was at frat ignorant of.what
he was about, and concluded that hetwas at
tempting to rob her Of q pocket-book and a
small amount of money which she remem-
bered was 10 her pocket. Finally. being
convinced Of his purpose, she screamed
several times, and number Of boys, who
were minding cows in the neighborhood,
came to her assistance, and the negro was
frightened off before he had accomplished
bis purpose.
Mr. Crittenden arrested the man as above
stated. aud Justice Smith, before whom he
was taken, committed him to the county Jail
to await the action of the grand jury.

A n1arket-House in Clay Ward.


AS one of large number of beads s-of-fami.
| lies who feel the need of market-house in
Clay ward, earnestly commend the subject
to the attention of our representatives in the
Council. When we were incorporated
against our protest, it was distinctly prom.
ised that we should have all the advantages
and accommodations afforded the central
wards of the city, but except in few speci-
ally favored localities we have gotten nothing
except BY the hardest kind of begging.
We REQUIRE q market-house above all
things. A cabbsge-head that can be pur.
chased at the markets for five cents, we have
to pay the green grocers ten cents for, and
everything else we buy we pay for in about
the same proportion. Of course we do not
blame the green grocers for making good
profits, but we do not, therefore, suffer the
less. Our people have year by year witnessed
very large appropriations made for the lm'
provement and adornment OF the pubic
property in Madison and Jefferson Wards,
and have not murmured, because they were
assured that their time would soon come, but
as yet we have received little or nothing but
fair promises. I am informed that for nine
or ten thousand dollars market-house such
as our present wants demand can be built
and suitable lot can be purchased for ten OF
twelve hundred dollars. It will not do fol
the city fathers to say that they have no mo.
ney. Let them give us bonds, and we will
find patriotic citizens who will advance the
money upon them. There will be no diff.
Guilty about that
Unless the Clay Ward counclmen sooi
move in this matter, we will be utterly fore.
stalled, and will be able to get neither money
nor bonds, for the money is nearly always
yeted away before it is received at the Trea
sury, and the bonded debt is fast reaching
! the limit prescribed by the charter, and new
appropriations will soonbe asked for the lm
proyement of James river, for the improve
ment of Shockoe creek, for the extension o.
the First Market, and for various other pur
noses. A market-house located at the right
point in Clay ward, would supply all the
families of Oregon Hill, Hollywood Oit
Field, Sidney, Grace and Franklin streets
Screamersville, Sheep Hill, and considerably
portions OF Monroe and Jackson wards. i
will save to our people-who cannot employ
| servants to spend half day at the New
Market, and who cannot 60 there tbemselVe'
because of the time lost from their Work-a
| least ten thousand dollars per annum, nov
paid into the hands and for the proht
middlemen. If our present representative
desire to prove that they are better than an!
we ever had, let them go at this thing q.
once. They will be supported by Marshal
and Jackson wards, and some, at least, 0
the counclmen from Monroe ward.
