Moses, of South Carolina, accused of grand

would seem that Mexican ideas are

rush to arms on the slightest provdAtion. In
the present case the belligerency of the Gov
ernor was short lived, and he has consented
to dismiss his army and give bail to answer
the charges made against him. This is the
most sensible as well as the safest course for
him to pursue.

temperance Cruso0ers IN VrOu0Aes
The ladies of Cincinnati, who entered into
the temperance crusade armed cap-d-pie with
Watts hymns, shrill voices and ron-ribbed
parasols, have come to grief in police station
in the Queen City. Music is popularity sup
posed to have charms of an irresistible nature,
but in this case they were of no avail The
obdurate policeman tapped for silence with
his club as the conductor of the Philharmonic
Society does at public rehearsal when one of
the trombones becomes unruly. Probably
specialized soprano or contralto was indulging
in unwarrantable excursions outside the legal
bounds Of tone and tune in music, and
the critical ear of the policeman was
thereby shocked In any case, a merited re-
buke has been administered to those women
who venture near the barrooms of disreputable
streets for Quixotic purpose of dissuading
the besotted inmates from frequenting such
places. We have had an example of the
utterly impracticable method such women pur-
sue in this city in the absurd manner in which
they went to work to reform the bibulous
population of the metropolis. If women
will only exercise at home their powers Of
eloquence, where they are all potent, they will
do more real service in the cause of temper
ance than years preaching outside or in
side Of barrooms and liquor stores.
DELICATE QUESTION. seems to be as
sured that Representative Mellish has become
insane. The sympathies Of the public will

arises, affecting the personal liberty Of d

House know that MIR. Mellish is insane?
Should it be possible for the friends of any
Representative to be able to put him in duress
without the House satisfying itself that there
is real ground for the detention2 A time may
