AT a temperance mass meeting held
| at the court house, in Liberty, Clay Co.,
Mo-, on the 10Th April, 1870, Judge Jo-
seph Flood was called to the chair, and
{. s. Hill was appointed Sec'y.
Judge Flood made IN earnest speech,
! and was followed by MeSSrs. Luke,
Routt, Emerson and Richardson. On
motion, Col. Routt. Col. ituckcr and DR..
Marsh were appointed as Il committee
on ''ResolutionS."
Col. Routt read the following pream-
bic and resolutions, which were adopted
by the body:
Whereas, it is the duty Of all good
citizens, in order to the formation and
growth of a correct public sentiment as
to all matters affecting the common
veal, t. give Uttcramcc to their individ-
ual opinions relative thereto; therefore
Res0lycd-bv this mass convention of
the Independent Order of Good Temp
lars OF Clay county, rs follows:
lst. That the vice OF incompetence is
Il consuming ulcer upon the morals,a and
social life OF all communities, wherein it
exists; not ~equalied by any other, in in
tcn>ity and destructive power.
3nd. That all lawful and moral ways
and means, should be resorted to, tor
the purpose of arreStin@ its deadly prog
reSs in this. as well as the other States
of the Union.
3rl. That the evils Of intempcrance,
and the blessings that flow from tenn
perance, should be faithfully portrayed
in our county, so that the youth may be
early led t. abh0r the former, and take
delight in the latter.
,tth. That it is especially the duty of
the Christian ministry, and the societies
over which its members preside, to unite
in the constant advocacy Of the cause
Of temperance.
9TH. That after an experience in Clay
county Of two years. in refusal upon the
part Of OR county court, to grant IL
cenae to keep dram-ShopS, this Conyen-
tiuI Is clearly OF opinion, that the cause
Of temperance and morality, has made
great advances: and those whose upin-
ions are most worthy of credit. do not
doubt that 4 persistence in this refusal,
will finally eradicate all the drHm-ShUpS
in the county.
oh. That this Convention has conf
Gcnce in HE moral firmmeSS and intc.li-
! grnce Of the ,Iuig, OF uur county court,
and earnestly entreatS that body to con
tiGue in its refusal 10 grant lrtm->hnp

THESE brother Democrats (Schaeier
and McGregor) have fallen out and
now it is possible that the old adage may
prove true, that when rogues fall out
honest men get their dues.-l Repository.
All a mistake. A, McGregor has had
no quarrel with Louis Schaster' OF the
Re6osiio,y establishments Bascom and
Schaefer cannot cover up water works
and gas fitting matters in this way Inc
former has got into the Courts and now
let there be no dodging covering up
and Sinking by claiming Schaeier and
McGregor "have fallen out" This is
too thin, and will not suffice for an an
swer to that petition in the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, which we published two
weeks ago, We suggest to the twain OF
the Ref. establishment that Mr.. Schaeter
must now tace tie mHSfc' 1t he can
show that he went according to law IN
constructing our water works that our
city has not been villainousIy detrauded'
we shall be well pleased. But let there
be no dodging-no running up the alley.

ILLE kNRCE RLLL.

1t would really appear as il the hnat-
ical leaders of the radical wing Of the Re-
publican party are determined to do all
they can to break down the party in this
country and make it laughing stock in
every other. The latest freak of these
fools is what is known as the Force Bill" 7"
which isa bill to permit the President 70
suspend the writ of hubedS corpus at will.
Much has been said Of CPsarism, and We
confess the attempt to force such law
through Congress savors much OF autoc
racy, 1t will, if passed, confer a power
on the President not held by the Queen
of England. Up to a few days ago
however, the Democrats by forcing the
House into an all night session, most ably
presided over by Speaker Blaine,
succeeded in foiling the attempts OF
Butler & Co., for time. All the sensible
portion of the party are opposed to such
a measure, and if ever fillibustering was
iustifable, it was on that occasion, The
contest also demonstrated the total fall
ure ofthe recent resolution passed to pre-
vent tillibustering.

THE "Dio LOUIS" (Schaefer,) Of the Re
Oository establishment has discovered that
he has been sued for over hundred
thousand dollars by the city of Canton,
and also that the petition after being filed
in Court was copied and published. Such
documents, when filed, are open to the
public, according to our laws, and hence
any one interested has a right to a copy
In his answer, Mr.. Schaeler can set up
his claim of offsets, and, on the trial, II
he can substantiute and prove these, by
proper vouchers, etc, he will, OF course,
get due credit. as he ought to have.
We suggestto our "Dio Louis" "DiO is
the Italian for God) to youchsale an eX-
planation of that scratched up and RI
diculously mutilated Gas Fitting bill. He
ought to understand all about it Why
was that scratching done? Why was the
price of each item obliterated? Did not
the clerk who made out the bill under
stand the arrangement? Let our "Dio
Louis" clear up this bad looking business.

The SchaeIer- Repository organ Of last
week spoke of "the two Building Loan
Associations in our city" Hemlght give
us little history Of the hird-that went
into "Opera-tion" some years ago, and
was run in the interest OF but one "scal-
awag,' as future developments in Court
may show. The scratched up Gas Fit
ting bill indicates little more Of the
"scalawag" business. We expect soon to
give an account of the fire telegraph busi-
ness put up some years ago in our city
by the manipulation of the same SCALA
wag sojourner." II is the general opin-
ion of our citizens that thousands of dol
lars have thus been pilfered out OF the
pockets and hard earned taxes Of our
industrious and hard working people"

fully the three Building Association.

EACH (Schaefer and McGregor) makes
specific charges againstthe other. Each
has paper in which these charges are
made and repeated, and heralded to the
public, Each claims to be the organ,

A great place, truly, from which to issue
Democratic maniiestoes!
Is it any wonder that the Repository
rallies to Schaefer's defence in water

Ne follow no mans lead d'-nor do
we ask Democrats to follow ours. We do
say that true Democrat is known by
his faithful support of the organization
by sustaining the properly constituted
party authorities, and supporting and
voting the regular Democratic ticket.
The man who does not do this is not
in full party accord and sympathy, and
hence is not entitled to full brotherly
consideration. No man can read another
out of or into the Democratic party
This is the mans own work, and his
only.
For six years past Louis Schaefer has
acted with and for the Republican party,
and he has been generally open in that
action. Only one year ago he laborcd
to get up an independent or peoples
ticket" for city and township. And a
year ago last fall he was the RebaJhcaH
leader here in denouncing and belieing
'Old Bill Allen" He not only at that
time opposed the election of Gov. Allen
and our State ticket, but also opposed
Senator Ferrall and Representatives
Brooke and Sherrck, as well as Treas
urer Fessler, Sheriff Baxter and the rest
of our county ticket,

BEECHERS DEFENSE.

Gen. Tracy in his opening unfoided the
line of defense of Beecher. 1t is to i'm
peach the motives, character, and credi-
bility of TiltOn, MoultOn, and Bowen.
Tilton was moved by professional jeal-
ousy of BeecheT, and then he fell into
bad ways, was unfaithful to his wife, and
became Iatitudinarian in his religious be-
liefs And 80 he conspired with Bowen
IN yuin Beecher. MoultOn had to do
with the Custom-house, when political
influence was important. SO he became
n jealous friend to Tilton, who was in
high position as All editor, and who could
place him on friendly terms with Horace
Greeley and other men Of political in
Auence.
Bowen, the first conspirator, who some
how has kept out of the case, but whom
the Beecher party now boldly challenge,
was inspired only by base, mereensry
motives. The Christian Union was grow
ing, and was crowding out the InCepend-
ent; therefore he cOnspired with Tilton
To ruin and drive out Beecher 10 break
6swn the Union and raise up the lnds-
pendent These are the main points in
the line Of defense.
