Utilizing Their Power.

1t is a wise conclusion on the part
of the temperance people of this State
not to nominate ticket of their own.
In this we think our temperance or
ganizations evince wisdom superior
to those OF Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut and other Eastern States. To
place in the field an exclusively tenn
perance ticket is simply to sacrifice
the candidates and deter others from
occupying similar positions. It must
be evident to all that such procedure
adds nothing to the strength of the
cause. On the contrary the effect is
to subject both the principle and its
advocates to the sneers and ridicule of
opposing parties and of those who are
not admirers of the temperance move
ment. In some of the Eastern States
the temperance leaders are content
with nothing short of ticket of their
own at each election, and as regularly
as it is put up it is as regularly defeat
ed. The cause would not materially
suffer by these defeats were not the
vote so infinitesimally small and the
rout so disastrous and complete. But
the returns show that while other
parties poll their 10, 600 or 10000 votes,
the ballots of the temperance ticket
may be counted with three or four
figures. This vote must not be taken
as the aggregate of those who desire
that the offices shall be filled by men
of temperate habits. Such a conclu-
sion would be as erroneous as unjust.
Against such odds the cause loses a
heavy percentage of its strength, for
thousands of temperance men in prin-
ciple recognize the hopelessness of the
ticket, and rather than lose their
votes, support the nominees of one of
the other parties. The California
temperance people do not propose to
throw away their powder in this way.
They realize that they can make their
power more effectually felt by voting
for the temperate and against the
anti-temperance candidates of other
parties than by nominating straight
ticket of their own. In this way they
will cast vote that will be felt and
have its influence toward keeping old
tipplers out of office and electing sober
men to offices of trust and responsible
ity. Let them follow this plan few
years and they will SO increase in
strength that the spectacle of drunk
en- official will be sight SO rare as to
excite the contempt of all by whom it
is seen.

More Light Wanted.

1t is to be hoped that every General,
Colonel and Major who participated on
either side in the war of the Rebellion
will write his memoirs" of that
somewhat exciting period. AS lights
to guide the feet of posterity in the
search for truth they would be invalu-
BILE. So long as the historians OF the
war were men who wrote of others and
made General GRANT the military sun
around whom all other characters in
the play revolved as stars, comets and
nebul@, the current of events ran
smoothly enough and truth was seldom
met with and never inquired after.
But this sort of thing was not to go on
forever. We now have book from
one who can write on his title page,
"All of which saw and part of which
Iwas." General SHERMAN has given
the world his Memoirs y of the Re-
bellion, and, as might have been an
ticipated, its pages contain statements
antagonistic to many published in his
tories that light their record with the
GRANT sun. General SHERMAN ham
dies many of his brothers officers in a
rough, soldierly manner, which has
already called forth, and we may ex-
pect will call forth, many more eX-
plantations, corrections and denials, all
of which will, we trust, prove little
lamps to aid the future historian in
the search for that jewel which we are
taught lies at the bottom of the well.
But the great question which these
memoirs" calls up for settlement
is who conceived the march from At
lanta to the sea. The GRANT sun his
torians all concur that General GRANT
planned and General SHERMAN exc
cuted. The author of the "Memoirs
claims that to him belongs both the
conception and the execution. Who is
wrong and who right, is the issue to
be decided, and if the eight or ten
thousand other officers who know
something about the Rebellion will
kindly write up their memoirs" the
world will have so many little lights
to assist in dispelling the gloom and
uncertainty which now envelOps the
truth.

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others. such as cottons, table,
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all TO call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. al6

eulogizing the dead statesman in

following brief biography: He was
a day laborer. His college was the
borrowed book, the hour stolen
from sleep, the aspirations of the
shoemaker's bench, the debates of
the village lyceum. His townsnen,
recognizing ambition and inteili-
gence, made him their representa-
tive in their Legislature. The oppor-
tunities Of Massachusetts, were as
fair to him as the air, and, Selling
them, he rose to eminence side by
side with Charles Summer, the
workman and the scholar in thor
ough sympathy. He was a leader
in the great political movement for
human freedom. He was president
of the Senate of the Commonwealth.
He was senator in the National
Congress. He was vice president:
of the United States. In every
station he was equal to his duties.
Through all be was true to the
fundamental principles of his faith,
the equal rights of humanity, the
education and happiness of the PEG

believer in the second advent of
Christ, not only in general way,
"but in our time. and says it is no
use attempting to work for this
world. This Old Ark, he says, is
going to sink, and the only thing to
DO is to get as many of the crew
and passengers out of her as posi-
Bile and let her go down, and that
therefore the business of every
Christian man and woman is to
work and wait"
