JEFFERSONvILLE, February 13.-The
woman's crusade against the whisky traffic in
other cities has commenced its development
in this city, and to-day actually assumed
shape by the meeting of about two hundred
ladies at the Methodist church. All of them
were Of good repute for morals and religion,
ana their intended warfare upon the saloon
keepers viii undoubtedly prove a determined
one. After singing and prayer, a permanent
organization was effected, with Mrs. Sallie
Jackson president and two vice-preSidents
from other different denominations. Speeches
were made by Reubel Daily, editor of the EUe-
ming NelCS ard National Democrat, and others.
The following preamble was re,td and
adopted:
WHEREAS, We believe that crisis has been
reached in which due popular sentiment de-
mands the cessation of the liquor traffic; that
our object shall be by moral suasion to induce
liquor-dealors to abandon their business for
THEN own welfare and that of humanity; that
uniting our prayers, we will never cease
pleading until our object is attained.
The meeting then adjourned until two
O'Clock tomorrow. In the meantime the
plan for operation.

Fetterman, day before yesterday, proves to be
false. Preparations are being made with all
possible dispatch for movement of troops in
The Sioux country, and posts are to be re-es-
tablished at ithe MILESTONE and Red Cloud

be large enough to hold their own and protect

The rejection of the nonarchical PROPOSE
tons presented to the Fpnch Assembly puts
an end 10 all chance of Oh immediate restora-
ton Of the monarchy. By the significant
majority of one hundred Toces the Assembly
has pronounced against proposition which
even those who supportedit must have known
was opposed to the will of the French
bly, must be congratulated on the re-
suit Of this vote. 1t shows that
the charge 30 often brough, against the Assem-
bly, of want Of patriotism is not as we'll
founded as superficial obervers of French
politics would persuade B Quite large
number Of the members Of the Right Centre
must have sacrificed their patty politics to the
well-being Of the nation, eveA at the risk of
witnessing the establishment o. the Republic.
The defeat of Mr.. Larochefou@uld's propo-
sition was secured by a coalitionof the Centre
and Left, though some clever parliamentary
manuuvring was tried, with the object Of
breaking up their good understanding.
So far the republicans seem to have been
tne cnleI GAMERS III Cnese parliamentary
struggles, for while the mon,rohists have re-
ceived check that in all probability will
prove fatal to their cause the Bonapartists
have not escaped scot free 1t is rumored
that the Judge charged with he investigation
of the Central Bonapartist Committee has
recommended the prosecutid of M. Rouher,
the chief of the impehlist faction.
Should this rumor prove WI founded the
cause of imperialism would ban serious dam
GER as the party deprived T M. Rouher
would want the direction and }scipline which
OF present render it formidale. Although
the government has succeeded p passing the
Municipal Election law it's posfon is hourly
becoming more untenable coalition Of
the moderate and extreme Lefttith some le-
gitimists has been formed agait the Minis

that some sectona of the mhrchists will

support the Left in the demand for the dissolu.
ton Of the Assembly even if they do not take
the initiative in the matter. Already notice
OF motion to dissolve is threatened by NJ
Raoul Duval, one of the monarchists, and as
the motion, if made, would certainly receive
the support of the Left, it is within the possi-
bilities that On appeal may be made to
the country. In view of the excited
state Of parties and the cioss
balance in the Assembly this u
certainly the wisest and most patriotic course.
and the only one by which the danger of o
civil war can be avoided. The efforts of tho
monarchicai parties to force king on an un-
willing people have been q disgrace to ths
party which holds itself up as model Of virtue
and the defender of order. During the past
few years the monarchists of France have
shown to the world the spectacle. of party
whose watchword was s'moral order plunging
recklessly into demagogism and exhibiting
a complete disregard for decency and
law in their efforts to secure the throne of
France for one or other of the Bourbon pre-
tenders If the people of France really de.
sire the restoration OF any form Of monarchy
the dissolution of the Assembly will give them
full opportunity to express their wishes at the
polls. The whole government machinery is
in the hands of the royalists and Bonapartists.
as the republican officials have been carefully
removed under the governments of Theirs
and MacMahon. But notwithstanding
this great disadvantage, the republican
leaders feel certain of securing an overwheln-
ing majority in the new Assembly should the
elections be legally conducted. Probably
both the Bonapartists and monarchists know
this, and it may be that some unlocked for
effort will be made to stave off for another
while the definite establishment of the Repub-
lie. But however long delayed, the conser-
vative Republic will come at last, because it is
the only form of government upon which
France can permanently found her liberty
and prosperity.

FLEEc1NG EM1GRANrs.-It appears that .
regular system Of swindling immigrants COM
ing to this country has been established by O
gang of thieves who operate on the other
side of the Atlantic or during the passage.
These worthless people escape the merited pun
ishment of their crimes because the law as it
exists at present cannot reach them. It
points clearly the necessity for an interna-
tional treaty that would enable the authori-
ties to deal summarily with criminals Of this
class. 1t is disgraceful that loophole should
be left for them. We have special interest in
the protection of intending emigrants, aud
the Washington government ought to take
such steps as would render the practice of
swindling over confding people coming to our
shores game too dangerous to be played
with profit.

THE MILITARY SPIRIT IN*6ANADA.- tele-
gram from Ottawa, Canada, states that be-
just passed through camp exercises at the
various military camps, and that as many will
assemble and drill in the fall. Our colonial
neighbors are following the example of the old
country in organizing and exercising the mill
tia and volunteers; not, we presume, that
there is any apprehension Of being called to
fight, but simply for the glory Of the thing
and the show, just as our boys like to exhibit
their figures and uniforms whenever they have
good chance.

AN OPINION AT LAsT.-All this time we
have been waiting for Jones, of Nevada. We
knew he would come. Silence was impos-
sible to this soaring statesman from Table
Mountain and Rooster Gulch. We knew that
we should have a memorandum in time, and
IL comes from Nevada The Territorial Enter
prise, an excellent Nevada newspaper, by the
way, and with inspirations from the Rocky
Mountain Daniel Webster, who now sits in
the seat of the lamented but unforgotten Nye,
informs u.s.

OF unnecessary anger are being expended nova

fairs, our readers will know its value

The SIOUX INDIANS OF THE BLACK HILLS
are bristling up for war, and General Custer
is preparing to meet them. According to our
correspondence from st. Paul and Dakota
Territory there are evidently two sides to this
question of difficulty with the Indians. While
we are convinced that only severe measures
will keep many of the Indians peaceable, and
admit that these people cannot stand in the
way of progress and civilization, there is,
after all, some consideration due to treaties
made with them. 1t appears that the Black
Hill country, q country rich in soil, timber
and game-was assigned by treaty with the
government at Washington to the Sioux
Indians, and that in the most solemn and
explicit manner Would it not be well to act
justly with these poor savages before acting
severelyp

The REDSKINS are beginning to show
signs OF uneasiness, and already number of
murders are reported. The Cheyennes, Co
manches and Kiowas are said to be engaged in
depredating. The settlers along the Kansas
borders are in danger, and unless troops are
sent to their protection the savages will add
to their list of victims Here is O chance for
the War Department to show some vigor, and
we hope the opportunity of giving those
troublesome Indians lesson will not be
allowed to pass

IF ANY CITIZEN wants to enjoy double
share of happiness at trifing expense for so
much pleasure be can obtain it by contribut-
ing literally to Mr.. Williams picnics for the
poor and then going TO the dock to see the
children embark.
The New York herald., 1874-07-08

The Picnic SEASON is of very short dura-
ton compared with the long, cold and cruel
winter months, when there is little outdoor
enjoyment of any kind for the children of the
poor. 1t would be hard, indeed, if the fresh
air and all the enjoyments of summer should
be denied these little waits. Fortunately the
foresight and humanity of Mr.. Williams have
already offered the poor children of the city
many pleasures, and it is only necessary to
second his efforts by generous contributions
to his worthy project to assure happiness and
health to thousands.

his seclusion, where he has, unlike Cincin-
natus, been engaged in experimenting the

his lifelong enemy, who holds the guberna-
torial chair of Tamaulipas, remains at Vic
toria, the chief patron of the monte tables of
that inland city. He objects to Cortina, but
that will hardly prevent renewed activity on
the part of the raiders from Mexico upon the
ranches of Western Texas, protected as they
will be by their old leader from his vantage
ground of Mayor of Matamoros.

colleges run from five feet six and half

ton has not single six-footer in either crew
and Williams has only one. They are there

the superior height Of the American skeleton
seems not to be maintained Yale, Columbia
and Trinity each have a man of one hundred

largest at forty-two, and for the larger num-
Der below forty. Altogether the turnout is

STATEMENT OF CONCLUSIONS.


First We find from the evidence that the Kew
Henry Ward Beecher did not commit adultery with
Mrs Elizabeth r. Tilton, either at the tme or times
place or places set forth the third and fourth SUD-
divisions of Mr. TltOns statement nor at any other
time or place whatever.
Second: We find from the evidence that Mr. beecnet
has never committed any unchaste or improper ac'
with Mrs. Titon nor made any unchaste or improper
remark proffer OF solicitation to her OF any KIND Ok
description whatever.
Third If this were o question OF errors OF Judg'
ment on the part of Mr. Beecher it would be easy 70
crticse especially in the light of recent events Id
such criticism even to the extent of regrets and GEN.
sure we are sure no man would join more sincerely
than Mr. Beecher himself.
Fourth We find nothing whatever in the evidence
that shouldmpair the perfect confidence of Plymouth
Church or the world in the Christian character and
integrity of Henry Ward Beecher.
And now let the peace Of God that passeth all I'M
derstanding rest and ABIDE with Plymouth Church
and her beloved and eminent Pastor, so much and
so long afflicted.
