Mr.. Hope TEMPERANCE MEETING.
The citizens of Mt. Hope met in
the Methodist church on Sunday even
ing, March %, pursuant to previous
announcement. The meeting was
called to order by I. W. Bronson,
who stated the object to be to talk
upon the subject of temperance and
to get an expression of the people as
to the propriety of permitting the es-
Enlistment of a soloon in the village.
Reuben Cooley was called to the
chair and w. II. Gilliard chosen Sec
rotary. Rev. O. Burnett then ad-
dressed the meeting, entertaining the
people with clear, logical discourse
upon temperance and its good results,
depicting the miseries Of intemper
ance. He was followed by Messrs.
l. w. Bronson, r. G. Humphrey, Mrs.
Gilliard, Mrs. r. Snider, and others Of
Mt. Hope, and VIM. Humphrey, of
Patch Grove-all of whom spoke in
earnest tones in favor of total absti-
nence and against licensing saloon
in our community. A vote was taken
upon the question "shall the Supervi-
sors refuse license for selling strong
drink" and nearly the entire assembly
rose to their feet: Meeting adjourned
till Tuesday evening, March 30.

TIE President Endorsed.

After several days discussion, the
U. S. Senate on Friday adopted the
following resolution
RESOLVED, That the action of the
President in protecting the govern,
ment in Louisiana, of which William
p. Kellogg is the executive, and the
people of the State, against domestic
violence, and enforcing the laws Of
the United States, is approved.
The vote on this resolution stood
ayes 33, nays %. The Republi-
cans all voted for it, the Democrats
all voted against it; and of the an
dependents" Booth only voted
against it, and Christiancy, Cameron,
Paddock and Mcmillan voted yea.
This renders it very certain that
these four Senators have fully decid-
ed to identify themselves with the
Republican party.

the State debts now owed by less
than one-third of the people.
Gov. Walker, elected TO Congress,
and the probable Speaker of the
House of Representatives, will lose
no time in presenting his plan, where
by the indebtedness of all the fifteen
Democratic States will be sponged
out, and it's payment made over to
the Republican States. Three Re
publican States now pay three-fourths
of the national taxation, ard have
been taxing then selves for years to
pay off their own State debts. The
transfer to them of the 1912, 10000
debts of the Southern States, in ad-
dition to the cost of the war, already
paid, and three-fourths OF what re-
mains to be paid, will be accepted
by the Southern Democracy as retri-
ton Tor the war itself.
Gov. Walker, in his message TO the
Virginia Legislature, points signifi,
oately to the fact that all that is re-
CURED to carry this scheme through
is majority in Congress. The Dem
ocrats, it is true, have not Majority
in the Senate, and cannot compel the
passage of this measure at this time ;
but it is ono of the measures on
which they propose to go into the
campaign of 1876, and, secure of the
1870 votes of the Democratic States,
they expect, with their promise to
relieve Ohio, New York, Indiana,
and perhaps Pennsylvania, of all their
debts, to win the Electoral votes re-
quired to give them majority.
Should the Democrats elect their
President in 1876, there would of
necessity be such change in the
Senate that the party, having both
Hooses of Congress and the Execu-
tive, will not hesitate to adopt the
measure, to which the Southern
States all look hopefully for deliver
ence ct the expense of the North.
The assumption of the debts of these
ex-rebel States is one of the many
perils which threaten the nation in
case of return of the Democratic
DartV to mower

STARVING
Kansas and Nebraska IN the Midst
of Actual Starvation.
Letter From Hon. Allen Taylor, Formerly
of Craut County

Hon. Allen Taylor, formerly OF this
county, and who, in 1855, represented
Hazel Green in the State Assembly,
and is known to be gentleman OF
truth and veracity, writes letter to
resident of Grant, from which we
extract the following, depicting a de-
plorable state of affairs in that truly
afflicted country;
We are in the midst Of actual starvation.
Aid is coming in, but not half as fast as need
ed God only knows what will become OF the
people. have no doubt thousands will per-
ish from hunger and cold. The most eXagger-
ated accounts of the suffering in Kansas that
| have seen are far short of the truth. The
financial salvation Of spectators, railroad
companies and land sharks, depend on keeps
ing up the credit Of kansas-hcnec the false
and vilanous report that there Is no suffering
in the State only in few frontier settlements
AS a general rule, the longer one stays in Kan
sas the poorer he viii be- To write up Kan
sas as it IS would require a volume instead OF
a short letter so | will say no more about it.
In replying to the above, the gen
tlemen to whom it was addressed
asked permission to publish the same
and received the following touching
response.
In relation to using my communication tc
you, do with it as you please If by publish
| ing my letter you can thereby send one pound
| of bread to the starving children Of Kansas
for Gods sake publish it. l cannot now re-
| member what wrote you on the subject Of
| destitution in this country but am fully per
shaded that the most exaggerated accounts o
the suffering in Kansas and Nebraska come
far short of the reality.

The BLACK HILLs.-Contradictory

The BLACK HILLs-COntradictOry
reports appear in the papers regard
ing the Black Hills gold region.
There may be gold in that section,
but whether it exists to such an ex-
tent as to warrant an old time Cali
fornia or Pixies Peak exodus is quite
doubtful. One despatch announces
that miners from that section bring
with them fine specimens of both
silver and gold, the latter so abund-
ant as to be found adhering in pay,
ing quantities to the roots of the
grass. Gen. Ord thinks all such
stories incredible. He spent twenty
years of his life in California, and he
says his observations of miners has
been that "when they found rich gold
deposits they did not hurry forth
and proclaim the fact to the thous-
ands of gold seekers of the world
but they kept their secret among as
few men as possible" We advise
the people not to go Immediately
crazy over exaggerated reports from
the Black Hills. Another thing
should be considered Unless Uncle
Sam secures the territory from the
Indians there will be trouble in store
for all trespassers upon their lands.
Tho Sioux Indians are reported to be
putting on the war paint and are de-
termined to defend their right of pos
session at all hazards. On the other
haad the Z. s. troops are ordered to
capture and return all trespassers
and destroy their wagons, stock and
stores. Better go slow about this.

THE CIVIL RIGHTs LAw.-This is
what Thurlow Weed thinks of it ::
But while it is true that the worst
features of Mr. Summers Civil Rights
bill were stricken out, enough re-
mains to occasion widespread popular
annoyance and mischief. And in all
the collisions, complications and liti>
cations resulting from 1t, those whom
the law was designed to benefit will
be the sufferers. The Civil Rights
law will bring nothing but disappoint-
ment and vexation to the colored
men. After few abortive attempts
to enforce it, things will settle down
in the old way, leaving questions OF
social equality to regulate themselves.
The best that can be hoped for is
that the law will become dead let
ter. Meanwhile, what is most to be
regretted is that the Republican par
ty will be held responsible for what
ever of obloquy impractical legisla-
tion it has or may provoke.
