THE WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN.

RIPLEY, Ohio, Feb. 14.-The temper
ancc movement is progressing here.
One or two dealars who were pledged
to sell no more liquor have undertaken
to renew their old business quietly.
The ladies have renewed their efforts
with these; although new suburban
saloons are now receiving the most at
tention. A vigilant eye is kept on
dealers who have surrendered.
JEFFERsONVILLE, IND, Feb. IL
The action taken by the women Of this
place for the suppression of the liquor
traffic, was fully developed to-day.
The organization, composed of about
two hundred ladies, met ut the Metho-
dist Church, and after preliminary ar
engagements, marched quietly to the
most prominent saloons. At the first
saloon they were refused admittance,
and services were held on the pave
nlcnt.
At two other saloons visited, they
were invited in, and the proprietors
agreed to quit the business if bought
out. An immense crowd congreguted,
and drinking continued during the SER
vices. The ladies will make another
Offensive demonstration on Monday.
CiNCtNNATi, Feb. i1.--One hundred
and fifty postal cards We're mailed
through tfc toFtnSt0n thy.) post
office to the saloon keepers, which read
as follows:
Dcto' .TI-Hou are requested and en-
treated to abandon the sale OF intoNica-
ting liquors, for your own welfare and
that of humanity.
Remember that it is degrading to
yourself, and spreads vice and poverty
among us. you do not do this we
will III, ifn onl isif

ing until our object is attained.
1t is reported that the Covington la
dies will commence moving next
Wednesday,. The sale of liquors in Cow
iugton is licensed by both the city and
State. There is nothing new in refer
cncc to the situation in Ohio, except
the movement is taking hold of tho
small villages.

NEW ssPHASE OF THE MONROE DOC
IRINE.''

A Caroline correspondent of the
Fredericksburg (Va.) ssStar," in recall
ing some interesting "reminiscences Of
great men in all times, to show how
continually history repeats itself, es-
pec-ally in the reproduction of their
littlo weaknesses and infirmities, re-
lates the following anecdote of Presi-
dent Monroe, and applies it to the
necessities of the present day:
Some of our best and most remarka-
BILE statesmen have their weaknesses.
Mr.. Monroe, for instance, who fillol
more offices in his life than any other
man of his day or since, had his, as is
shown from the following occurrence:
After retiring from the Presidency he
removed to New York city 10 reside.
and returned to reside on his farm
some five miles distant from Chariot =
vile. In some year after his location
a creditor in New York sent to Mr..
James w. Saunders, an attorney,
claim against Mr.. Monroe of some four
hundred dollars, for collection by suit.
Mr.. Saunders, after consultation with
other members of the bar, thought it
best to see Mr.. Monroe. Accordingly,
In few days, he rode out to his resi-
dence, found him well and extremely
pleasant and agreeable, and by invita-
ton, break tasted with Mr.. Monroe;
spent delightful time up to the mo-
ment business was preached; this he
did in the most polite manner he knew
how. They (Nlr. Monroe and Saun-
ders) were seated in the eX-President's
library. Mr.. Monroe listened atten-
lively to his request for payment, then
taking out his bunch of keys from Lis
pocket, he rose and went to the secre-
tary in the room, MIR. Saunders suppos~
ing he was about to count him out the
| money, but imagine his terrible sur
prise when the old gentleman, in the
| most irate manner, turned around with
two pistols-said to him they were
from France, were the best kind of
duelling weapons, that he (Mr. 81
| might take choice, that there was a
| beautiful and retired grove just below
the house, that if he would accompany
| him he would settle the demand against
him. Mr.. Saunders replied to him
| that he thought the trial by sctye,. Of
bette had long - re been disused, and
| the old Burgundiatn code forgotten, but
| if he was in error as to that, the dispar-
ity of age and position of the combat
ants in this case would forbid the 1ial
by wager of battle. Mr.. Monroe said that
he would prefer battle rather than have
his peace ofmind destroyed by hungry
creditors, etc. Mr.. Saunders bid him
good morning, returned to Charlottes-
vile, and asked for trial by jury ac-
cording to the Virginia code. The
writer got this from Mr.. Saunders him
self, than whom truer and boltler man
never lived

The dancing party given by Mrs. w.
r. Hardy, at the Female Academy, on
tho evening of tho 18th, was a very
agreeable gathering. We looked in
upon the gay throng, saw tho young
misses i'll all the joyousness ofexpectant
happiness, the youngsters in soap-locks
and best attire, and few advanced in
years who were fighting their battles
over again. There were fiddlers three,
the usual number of invincible young
folks and of lookcrs-on. The mer-
in such affairs, there was only the de-
termination, we'll carried out, TO make
the most of tho occasion. Mrs. Hardy
will accept our thanks for Il compli-
mcntary ticket.

Vernon.

We apologize to the people about
Vernon. Extending to subscribers at
that Office more indulgence than those
at any five offices upon our list, we are
served as we should be by having more
copies of our paper ssrefused" at that
Office than at all the offices on our list
put together. We accept, also, as a
just reward for our folly, the fact that
nearly every subscriber who has
refused the TELEG RAPH, is man enough
to continue in our debt. We have done
these recalcitrant patrons an injury,
and we beg their forgiveness. The
only solace we have, is, that they have
our generosity and proper
ly estimated our wealth. We toast,
Our noble selves!

AS II newspaper, the New Orleans
Republican is entitled to our admira-
ton: out of bad cause, it makes the
best showing possible, and tells its lies
with greater effect than either the Pic
ayune or the Times tells the truth. The
Republican is not afraid to lie; the
Plcayune and Times are both afraid of
the truth.

Receipts ofproducc during the month
of january have been heavier than for
y number Of years past. The open
navigation of the Western rivers, and
the high stage of water in most of the
Southern streams has helped, together
with the needy condition of planters to
bring out the cotton and sugar much
faster than otherwise would have been
the -: 81.

OF all tho Liberal Republicans, we
are compelled to say, that the Liberal

most, and who was, in fact, the Liberal
Republican party of this State, is stand

hibitcd virtue that many of his fol-
lowers dare not aspire to.

COTTON AND THE CHANGERS.

The anticipated surplus of labor re-
suits in a deficit. There has not, it is
true, been the customary pulling and
hauling to get hands this year, but
there are very few planters who have
all the laborers they would like to
have. We don't pretend to explain
how it is, that planters who complain
of short crops, the inefticiency of labor,
high taxes, and no funds, are enabled
to create such heavy demand for
labor. On theory, we are convinced
that there is nothing SO Improbable as
the making of cotton but the practi-
cal part of the business, judging from
the eagerness of planters to continue
| making cotton, even on enlarged pre-
! tensions, seems to upset completely
| cotton, at this time, is about forty
dollars per bale. The cost of picking,
ginning and carrying to market, on
half the crop, at least, has not been less
than fifty per cent. On the san.o amount
of cotton sold last season and this, one
commission house in New Orleans in
formed us that the difference was
$17j,O0O in favor of last season.
/. Is the cotton-planter making money?
Or, is he not, like the gambler, risl>ing
money to get back the losses he has
sustained?
In any and all kinds of business the
best plan is to watch the margin-look
to the average. The planting business
must run all the risks of weather, I'M
certainty of labor, fluctuations Of de-
mand, and combinations Of capital.
Under such trials, planting on a specu-
lative basis, must be extremely haz-
ardous. That many planters have been
borne into bankruptcy and that others
are even now gasping for breath, de-
monstratcs the hazard of the planters
risk.
Permanent improvement of our lands
and stock, and the speedy disenthraII-
ment of each farmer from all but ordi-
nary risks, is the true interest of this
bountifully-blessedl land. 1t is in this
view of onr country's needs that we
hail the advent and organization of the
Patrons of Husbandry. The organiza-
ton, in a body, of the farmers for their
own protection, is, in our judgment,
of not half so much Importance to the
country, as that other idea set forth by
the Changers, of the real improvement
and substantial development of the
lasting resources of our bounteous land.
With this idea, brought practically to
An issue, we shall see all kinds and
classes of business leap to prosperity,
schools, colleges, railroads and churches
built and established, and, with such
evidences Of prosperity, will come inn
perceptibly tho reign of mind over
matter-communities of a high order
Of refinement, and Il State and a people
basking in the sunshine of virtue, intel
ligence and plenty.

| Another Attempt at InccnSliarfslll.
Monday morning Il colored boy who
sleeps at Garrctson's saloon, discovered
a fire burning on the back gallery of the
saloon, up stairs, near tho entrance.
Some pieces of wood, an old quilt and
other combustiblcs had been collected
and set on fire, with the belief, doubt
less, that the flames would enter tho
house by catching the facings and shut
ter. The boy eXtinguished the fire,
but very little damage having been
done. A close Inspection of the immc-
diatc vicinity showed ill., a lot of
shavings had been placed under the
Notwithstanding i'll rear of Ezclius's
old saddle shop, and Il match, which
was found under the shavings. The
cushion of hack, in rear of Naugh-
toms shop, had been cut open, Il part of
the straw pulled out, and the cushion
set on fire.
Tho city authorities will fail in their
duty, and in case of a contiagration
will DO chargeablc with the grossest
neglect, if they do not do something to
stop this ncfarious business. No less
than half-a-dozen houses have been set
on fire, or attempted to be fired, within
the last three weeks. We do not be
licvc, rs some do, that it is the wanton-
ness of q crazy woman. In this last
attempt, tho offender was II man, and
the place, circumstances and prepara-
tons showed there was \ deeper pur-
pose than such as an insane woman
would be likely to have. We urge the
Council to take vigorous measures to
prevent further attempts like this,
before the whole town is laid in ashes.

THE JULIA HAWKES. MURDER.

The Preliminary Examination of
Costley-Later Developments Tending
TO Implicatc Him In the Crime-The
Result Of Searching the Hotel.
Boston. May Is, 1874.
James Henry Costley, accused Of numbering
Julia Hawkes. and sinking her body in Fore River,
at Weymouth, was taken from Plymouth Jail and
before Justice In that town at late hour yester.
day afternoon. A brief examination was had and
the case was continued till to morrow. Later de-
velopments seem establish the fact that Costley
ts the murderer. The officers who searched the
hotel found bloody towel and blood
spattered on the wall paper. The latch OF
the door was bloody, as were also the
the murder is supposed to have been accomplished.
A large spot on the moor had evidently been
mopped over. Upon searching for the mate to the
tailor's goose" found attached to the body OF the
murdered woman, the officer found one on shell,
the surface OF which was covered with dust, except
portion upon which the fatal iron had stood, the
imprint OF which was surrounded by dust
gunny bag corresponding In size and appearance
to the one In which the murderer enclosed the
goose was also found. package OF money, con-
tanning S23S, was found on the person Of Costley,
secured by paper band, which Is believed to be
the original as 1t came from the bank. 1t has been
ascertained that, few days before the disappear
ancc OF Mrs. Hawkes., Qostiey engaged a room for
her accommodation In Camden street, at the South
End. The deceased went there, carrying two
bundles she left the house on the 18th inst, and
the following day Costley called at the house in
Camden street and took away her clothing. Cost
ley went to New York. from which place he wrote
while he told the officers another In reference to
the object OF his visit 70 that city.
