WHEN over one third of the working
men and women of New York are out
of work and can find none, out of bread
and nothing to buy with, how can Mr..
Morton have the eHrontery to get up
before an intelligent audience and
assert that 'the country is in a pros
porous condition ?" Notwithstanding
the cry in New York and other large
business centers of "blood or bread
there are being ex pended millions of
money on gorgeous Custom Houses,
new and magnificent Postoflices and
other public buildings, which we could
do without, at least for the present.
As long as the present corrupt party
remains in power, with its notions OF
extravaganza, so long will there be a
cry of want of labor aud no bread.
There is certain remedy for the cry.
There is one way to stop it, and only
one. Elect Tilden president. and with
his ideas of economy. retrcnchment,
and reform, there will very soon be
diminished taxation, plenty of work,
bread in abundance and some to spare.
"By their fruits ye shall know them.
Mr.. Tilden has demonstrated to the
world his power to do what is needed
to put our country on the high road tC
success, and the people will elevate
vim TO the position in November.

The National Prohibifionisfs.

Eiiicr Ia'oicr Journal:
We observe from the last issue OF the
JOURNAL that you associate the benevolent
Order Of Good Templars and the new polit-
ical party Of National Prohibitionists too
closely for the health and comfort Of the
former. Indeed, il we understand your
editorial Alright, you treat them rs identical
while in point Of fact they are two separate
and distinct institutions. The Order Of
Good Templars cannot, as an Order, give 1t:
allegiance TO the Prohibition party, or any
other political party. The Temperance
element of society found the liquor traffic
in politics, and in politics they are compelled
to fight it. Be that, however, as it may
the Order of Good Templars disclaim any
connection with the party. A Temperance
man may be either Probibitionist or q
Good Templar, both or neither. The fol.
lowing, from the official organ of the Good
Templars Of Kentucky, will set your read
ers right upon the question:
"The Order and the National Prohibition
party are, simply, distinct and separate or.
CARNATIONS, with mutual sympathies in
regard to one common hope and purpose
that constitute the leading feature Of both
Neither is in the least degree responsible ioi
the means or methods Of the other. There
is nothing at all in the Order to influence
the votes Of its members in any direction,
except SO far as the lessons Of temperance
and morality it inculcates may inspire them
to conscientiously seek the right. As Good
Templars, they cannot be politicians as
Temperance men, they can be what they
please"

ONE Of the most VIGOROUSLY visdic.
tive, unfair, and inconsistent Radical
papers in a the country, is the New
York Times. When Tilden was a
candidate for Governor Of New York,
that paper was loud in its praise of
him, and even after his election, the
Times contained many articles in his
favor as Reformer, and gave him
full credit for his war on the Canal
and other rings. Not until after Mr..
Tilden was brought to the front as the
probable candidate Of the Democracy
for the Presidency, and one who was
likely to win the race, did the Times
begin to see him in an altogether DIFF
ferent light The inconsistency of
that vile partizan sheet Is truly amaz-

GREKSBAcKs. - Blanton Duncan,
Of Louisville, one of the original
"greenbackers,' got a reporter of a
weekly paper to interview him the
other day. The reason Of the inter.

could not get hearing before the
public in any other way. They are
in as bad row of stumps, as the Pro-
hibitionisss, and are making a farce Of
the whole thing.

SINCE Ethelbert's departure, our section
has not been represented in the columns Of
your valuable paper, therefore, I beg pre-
sumption to remind the readers Of the
Journal, that Middleburg, though won
derfully demoralized last Monday, still
exists, and to speak word Of consolation
to our fallen brethren in the Temperance
cause. Middleburg is now struggling to
regain the high position in the scale Of NOR
al dignity which has for some time charac-
terized her, and from which the unmersi-
full demagoguery dragged her.
The Sunday Schools are in fourishing
condition, with their able corps Of teachers
and army Of well disciplined students. 1t
is very lamentable that. even these institu-
tons have received heavy blow from the
yoraeious demagogucry which blew and
snor,sd around our little village few days
ago, and which deserves the contempt Of
all who claim to have human dignity. To
our "fallen brethren" have this to say,
the cause is good one, and have no
doubt you fought bravely against the bar
barous god Of intemperance. The only
thing for which / blame you, il, that you
neglected to keep in good repair your ar
NOR of moral courage. Some less generous
person than /, may say you are cowardly,
but think you are "true blue" were your
courage only repaired with new coat Of
hypocriti, al morality. 1t is surprisingly
strange to me, that men who have sense
enough to influence others to vote for T.
particular person, are so utterly destitute Of
self love as to not abstain from the degener-
aey to which such bieotry will most surely
bring them. In conclusion ask the good
readers Of the JOURNAL to vote for whom
they please, and let their neighbor do like

GRANT signed the River and Har-
Dor Bill, but gave his reason for so do
ing. He said that il the Executive
was compelled to spend all the money
appropriated by Congress, he would
not have signed it, because some Of
the fsnds were voted for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors that had
no national interest, and that so long
as he was in Office, he would never
expend money on such. This, Of
course, will cut off the Cumberland
and Rockcastle river improvements, as
Grant will say they have no national
interest. This, because they run thro'
and into Southern territory. When
it comes 10 the Fox rive. in Wiscou-
sin, or any other river in North IVES
tern or Northern States, Grant will
zee in such appropriations great and
consuming interests Of vital signifi-
canoe to the whole nation. If the
people along the Cumberland and 9th
er Southern rivers desire to be put on
an equal footing, so far as public APP
preparations Of money are concerned,
they will vote for Tilden, Hendricks
AMI Durham. All they ask is fair
division of the public funds. and to
that they are entitled. The Cumber-
land sweeps through portions of sever
al States, and large tributary of the
Ohio. Millions of dollars worth Of
coal might be shipped down that
stream to feed the iron furnaces Of the
country, and supply home and foreign
demands. In every sense that river
river has national interest, and to
cast of the pitiful sum of $4,000 for
its permanent Improvement would be
an act Of the grossest injustice to hun
dreds of thousands Of American citi-
zens whose taxes go largely to swell
the revenues of the country. Does
Mr.. Brady favor the application of
that appropriation? If not, let it be
known.

Cosmogony Of Moses.

DR.. Thomas Nicholson, the well known
scientist of that name, will treat select
number of friends to paper on the gene
Ology of the creation, being an original
translation and critical analysis Of the He
brew text of the first two chapters OF Cen
esis. The learned gentleman will demon
strate, in this reading, the general scientific
accuracy Of the cosmogony Of Moses, and
the philosophy of the creation as laid down
in the writings of the great Israelitish
leader, lawgiver and warrior. The re-
searches of science have for many ages
tended to interfere with the accepted chro.
nology of the world from the creation down
to the comparatively modern era Of anthem
tic history. And while We have been told
that there is no real conflict between the
books of Noses and the conclusions of ge-
ologists, the apparent conflict always re-
quires the explanation that it arises from
too literal understanding of the translated
text. The elaboration of this subject will
be very interesting in the hands of so sccu-
rate and indefatigable examiner - Dr..
Nicholson. Tho reading will take place
this evening st half past seven o'clock. ct
