TEMPERANCE CONVENTION

The second quarterly Convention of
the Hancock County Temperance ALI,
ance u.et at the Court House, this city.
on November Goth, 1875.
The President, Mrs. Judge Whiteley,
not being p esent in consequence of
| slight illness, the house was called TO
order by the Vice President, Mrs. Tufts.
The meeting engaged in devotional
exercises for considerable time, after
which remarks We're made by Rev Dr.
Jones, Rev. Mr.. Kutz, and number of
Others, until the forenoon was consumed,
and the Convention adjourned to half
past l o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention re-assembled at the
appointed hour, Mrs. Judge Whiteley in
the Chair
After the usual devotional exercises
the President announced the Convention
open for business, and called for reports
from the Secretary and Treasurer, which
were read and accepted.
Reports were then called for from the
Vice Presidents of the county leagues.
As very few meetings had been held by
those leagues since our last Convention,
no reports were given.
Mrs. Davidson gave an oral report of
the work done by the Findlay League,
and Mrs. Oliver gave AN account of the
state of their fuances, which was en-
couraging.
Mrs. Strother then moved that Com
mittee be appointed by the Chair to
draft petition to be circulated through
out the county, and as many Signatures
as possible be procured asking our Leg
islature TO enact laws to protect us as |
community against the evils consequent |
upon the traffic in intoxicating liquors. |
The motion was carried, AID after the |
Committee was appointed the remainder
of the afternoon was taken up with short
addresses interspersed with singing and
prayer. The remarks were geersiily
well chosen and to the point
In the evening We again re assembled
Tor another meeting, which was perhaps
the most interesting of the day.
Mrs. s. CARLIN,
Recording Secretary.
The above was received too late for
publication iD our last issue.

THE ELEPHANT

Each day Of the present session Of
Congress develops more strikingly what
was suspected from the first-that the
Democrats have an unusually-sized ele-
phant on their hand in the shape of
controlling majority in the lower House.
So long as the Speakership was the sin
gle bone of contention, an ordinary
effort was successful in controlling the
Democratic animals, bnt when the
Speaker elect came to the task OF select
ing Chairmen for the Committees OF the
House. there were more holes to I'LL, and
the pegs multiplied in proportion. And,
when the Committees were finally an
nounced, to liken the Democratic side OF
the House to a menagerie of enraged
animals would be drawing a mild COM
parison. A careful and deliberate sur
vey of the list in the morning papers did
not serve to sharpen their appetites for
breakfast. Cox, Randall and Wood,
who aspire to leadership on the Demo
cratic side, were ANONYMOUSLY thrust
aside and assigned secondary parts in
the Democratic farce to be enacted at
the National Capitol this winter, and
Morrison, whose achievements as a
statesman are yet to be made manifest,
was assigned to the Craftsmanship of the
principal Committee of the House-that
of Ways and Means. New England did
not secure a Craftsmanship from Mr..
Kerr, while the numerous leading posi-
tions given to the Southern States,
makes list which, in print, reminds
one of the palmy days when Bully
Brooks welded his bludgeon in the Sen
ate Chamber and Howell Cobb antici-
pated the day when he should call the
roll of his slaves under the shadow of
Bunker Hill monument. "a pretty Con-
federate mess this is getting to be-" are
the reported words of the irate and dis
gusted Holman in describing the situa-
tion, and no wonder.
The South has returned TO her old
place of power, and Northern Demo
Gratis must expect to take back seats.
The Democratic party can no more spare
the help of the South now than in the
old days when a slave oligarchy cast the
electoral vote of that section for Demo
cratic Presidents. The same class of
men are now engaged with mask and
revolver in making the South unit for
Democracy, as it was in anti-bellum
times, and they too well understand the
Importance of the aid they are giving to
the party to be content with other than
controlling positions in a Democratic
Congress.
The developments of the session will
be interesting as well as instructive, and
we especially commend them to war
Democrats.

SOME PLAIN Talk

The Western Christian AdcOcdte, the
organ of the Methodist Church in the
West, in its last issue has the following
succinct statement of very important
matter.
The propriety, under ordinary circum-
stances, of keeping political and ecclesi-
tssiss1 affairs altogether separate, is too
apparent to require further remark
Until injustice to others or to ourselves,
either inflicted or Threatened, creates a
necessity for departing from this rule. it
can not well be followed too closely.
Whether such an exigency will arise, no
one but God can as yet determine.
Whether our church members in the
South, white and colored, shall continue
to be prosecuted, mobbed, shot, or hung
at the caprice of hot-headed secession
lists and their ignorant followers, or are
to be allowed TO enjoy their civil and
religious rights without molestation,
will soon appear. We shall certainly
demand our rights.
