TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
EDITED BY A LADY.

The first Quarterly meeting of the Juvenile
Temperance Society. was held at Lyceum
Hall, OH Friday evening last. To say that
the children and young people acquitted them
selves well, would be hardly doing them JUS
tice. They showed in the singing of their
songs, and recitation of their different parts,
remarkable interest and determination to
succeed. The President Walter Hayhurst,
added greatly to the interest of the occasion
by frequent explanations and remarks. Many
pieces were worthy of mention, but the most
impressive was The Two Paths" recita-
ton by IA scholars, showing the result of one
step and another in sin until at last death is
reached, on the other hand the several steps
beginning with Innocence and Self-denal
lead OH to life as final result. Mention
should be made of the kind assistance
rendered by Prof. Hoffman, and Quartette
of singers on the occasion, and likewise those
who furnished such beautiful flowers
Certainly the Juvenile Society has reason
to be encouraged. Let us hear from them
again.

Of all others.
Under orr legislative system, the Senate
corresponds with the House OF Lords In
England, upon which II was partially mod
elled The House of Commons represents

Here, the Senate exercises power far
greater than the Lords in England. 1t
not only amends the supply bills, but, as
in the present case, threatens to defeat
them altogether, unless the popular
branch shall abandon the reform policy
upon which it was chosen, and surrender
two parties is very plain.
On one side are the Administration, the
Senate, the Rings, and the ofIiceholders,
crying out for more money; and on the
other are the people, suffering in all their
industries, Impoverished by extravaganza
and taxation, and demanding relief. Every
jobber, and contractor, aud speculator, and
plunderer, and politician, shouts for large
appropriations and huge expenditures.
Every farmer, every mechanic, every la
borer, and every good citizen, asks for
economy, simple government, and old
fashioned honesty.
The people look to the House with trust
and hope, that these reforms will be ad-
hered to ut any cost. There can be no
concession consistent with duty and good
faith. Retrenchment is Indispensable not
only because it is right and needed to stop
the decentralization bred from prodigality,
but because 1t is imperatively required by
| the diminished revenues. If the Republic
can party is prepared to go before the
country on this test, their opponents
should welcome the issue. But in no
event should the House grant one dime
more than is actually needed for an
economical administration OF the Govern
ment. The way TO real reform is through
strict economy. Platforms, resolutions, and
professions may mean nothing. Let us
have substantial remedy and begin a
change for the better by good works.

character that every sensible man not
wholly blinded by passion must soon aban-
don 1t in disgust. In fact, the nature of
this canvass has become so pronounced,
and Its peculiartties have assumed such q
distinct and unqualified stamp, that II has
actually made Gov. TJ.DEN the only avail
able candidate who can be nominated ut
St. Louis, and this for the simple reason
that no upright and patriotic statesman
can desire or can afford to go before the
people as having beaten the Governor IN

MS having obtained the nomination against

The Funny Men at Cincinnati.


Who ever suspected JoE HAwLEY of
humori Who ever dreamed that rollick-
ing fun lurked IN the bosom OF the worthy
MCPHERSON of Pennsylvania Who would
have thought that AxTELL Of New Mexico.
and the saturnine DINoLEY Of Maine, and
that eminent reformer CHAMBERLAIN OF
South Carolina, and the other gentlemen
of the committee on Republican good res
olutons were all of them mad wings at
heart, only waiting their opportunity to
concoct and perpetrate II stupendous joke
The opportunity came last Wednesday.
As the sly fellows met around the COM
mittee room table aud recognized each the
kindred spirit of fun IN the others eyes,
how they must have held their sides and
struggled hard against the laughter that
would have prematurely communicated
their purpose to the Convention outside.
The extraordinary piece Of literary COM
position, beginning with divine Provi-
dence, and ending with President GRANT,
which Gen. HAwLEY, to all outward APP
pearances rs sober as Judge, brought
forth and calmly read TO the Convention
rs its platform, Is the result OF the inno-
cent consp rings OF these amiable humor-
lists. Look at the rare humor in every par
agraph, the delicacy OF the wit the de-
mure but irresistible playfulness of the
preamble, how exquisite II all is in con-
struction, how powerful the satire, how
absurd the sudden contrast, how judicious
the employment of irony and how the in
terest is so skilfully sustained that 1t
amuses to the very last clause.
Who but these merry dogs could have
originated that fifth plank, which puts the
Republican party OH record rs believing
that the invariable rule for appoint
ments to Office should have reference to
the honesty, fidelity. and capacity Of the
appontees ~
Who but thorough humorists would
have congratulated the Republican party
on the speedy, thorough, aud unsparlng
prosecution and punishment OF all who
betray official trusts?" Some of the funny
men on the committee had undoubtedly
| read of the ingenious policeman of st. Pc
tersburg, who kept private thief of his
own. On dark nights the policeman
would take out his thief, attached 10 II
long rope which gave him tether enough
to commit burgluiies. IL caught at the
game, which occasionally happened, the
policeman claimed great credit for having
captured and tied up a rascal dangerous to
society; while if not caught, which hap
pened much oftener, the policeman took
| the lions share of the booty.
What commissions of half-suppressed
laughter must have shaken the table on
which the funniest of men wrote words
that committed the Republican party to
continued opposition TO land grants and
| railroad subsidies How they must have
chuckled as they endowed all men with
"certain inalienable rights, among which
are life, liberty, aud the pursuit of happi
ness" and then proceeded to push out the
plank on which the Intrusive Mougolan
Will be invited to walk overheard. How
they must have roared when they "sin-
cerely deprecated all sectional feeling and
| tendencies"
As a centennial specimen OF true humor
the production OF the funny fellows al
Cincinnati is worth preserving.

A Misfortune.

II was very unfortunate for Senator
CoSKLISG that his nomination was put
forward in the Conventional Cincinnati 10y
Mr. STEWART L. WooDFoRD OF Brooklyn.
WooDFoRD is n glib, tonguey man, and
makes the same speech, with slight varia-
tions, on every occasion. He is light, shall
low aud of small account. Besides, he has
never cleared himself from the stain of
having been connected with APPLETON
OAKsMITH, the slave trader. At the time
we believe WooDFoRD was an assistant in
the office of the United States District
Attorney here, but whether in Office or out
of office, such "a connection leaves n black
stain.
Apart from all this, II WooDroRD had
been a bitter enemy of Mr.. CoNKLISG in
stead Of a pretended friend, his language
and his ideas at Cincinnati could not have
been chosen with more injurious effect.
From the beginning to the end of that
Convention every mention Of GRANT and
his Administration was received coldly,
and even with disapproval and one OF
the marked speeches, that of Mr.. GEORGE
w. CURTIS, with the address Of the Reform
Association which he read, was little less
tHhu II ulTect arrangement OF brhltlsm III
the most damaging form. Yet when
WooDFoRD came 20 speak upon the charac-
ter the services and the claims of Roscoe
CoNKLING, he could fnd nothing better TO
do with all his swashy eloquenoe than to
identify the Senator with the Administra-
ton " During the trial hour" he said
"when SANDER and misrepresentation had
Kissed at that silent and brave man who
sits in the Presidential char, Roscoe CoNK-
LING was always the true friend OF ULYs-
SEES ). GRANT" He could have uttered
nothing better calculated 10 excite prcju-
dice aud provoke distrust than TO put Mr..
| CoEKLING forward as having continually
| defended the outrages, the corruption, the
profiigacy, and the exoesses for which
| GRANT Is responsible, aud against which
the country has so revOlted that this once
popular soldier Will go out OF Office ex-
ecrated and despised as n base, false, and
venal man who has deeply dlsgraced the
Presidency.
After such n description OF Mr.. CoNK-
LING from such lips rs those OF WoODFORD,
1t is not surprising that our distinguished
Senator never got more than ninety votes,
aud never stood higher than the fourth IN

even from the dogm stism OF modern specula-
ton, OF the brilliancy Of modern criticism"
