TEMPERANCE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The different Temperance orders of the city,
embracing between four and five hundred menu
bers, held grand review on Friday night
They formed on main street Between Augusta

No one can sufficiently comprehend the great
strides which the temperance cause has made
in our midst until he has seen tie whole army

sented theque stion whether the Receiver should
pay out of the funds now i'll hand and accru-
ing, script issued by the company to employees
of the road and open-accounts on the pay rolls
together amounting to $4,000. OF this
sum about $50, 900 of script remains, it is said
in the hands Of The persons to whom It was
issued, and of the remainder about 1000, is
held principally by merchants along the line
OF the road, who have received it in the course
of trade as an accommodation to the employees.
Some of the script is in the hands of speculative
holdees.
Counsel for. the bondholders claim that tho
money in hand should be devoted to the pay
ment OF in terest, and the claims above referr-
ed to should stand on the same footing as the
general floating debt. The Judge took the
matter under consideration, and will give his
decision next Wednesday, the 22nd:

Burke commended that the motion to reconsider
threw the entire question open to discussion,
and tia. after the merits OF the case had been
heard, it was then the, time for Il body to de-
termne whetllerthe motion should be carried.
Messrs. Fultz aud Evans disagreed with the

consider must first pass before argument COULD

Mr.. Burke-[ have frequently seen this very
point demonstrated in the Legislature OF Viz

on until after discussion.
Mr.. FuItz-Ah that settles it. have never

that the. reply was. only calculated to
bring out prominently the informality ol
Montenegro's demand by proxy, which,

have attracted the attention Of thinking
people, inasmuch as they give the real
state Of affairs ID old PeaSe for the last
few years, backed up by facts and figures
which can not but convince the most
casual observer that It will not
do for the Republicans to sit down and
console themselves with the idea that the
Republican majority is so great and SO
certain in PeaSe township that they can
sleep. until a day. or two before the'elec.
tion, as some Of the party are inclined to
do at this time, and then expect to roll
up their old time majority. That policy
has been tried on one or two occasions,
and the article referred to shows by I'm.
disputed facts and figures the result Of
the experiment. This township has the
largest floating vote fof any township in
the county; which needs constant and
careful watching, and which, bya proper
effort being made, can nearly all be se-
cured for the Republican party. We
agree with the NTELIIGENCER that Pease
townsip is good missionary ground in
this campaign, but. 1t won't do TO
si. in easy chairs and figure on
the probable result, especially In
this voting precinct. We are satisfied
that it only needs good and square work
from now until the day OF election to in.
sure o good Republican majority in this
precinct. We are glad to see that there
Is disposition on the part Of some Of our
Republican friends to make desperate
efortto increase our majority this fall.

Tho Louisiana DISTURBANCES.

MONROE, La, August Sl.-The sheriff
dnd posse have returned from pursuit OF
the murderer OF Dingrave. They traced
the tracks Of his horse about three miles
and therelost trace OF him. There Is no
clue whatever to the murderer, but it is
generally believed the murder was the re.
suit Of an old feud. The murderer took
a plantation lane in his light. Din
grave had seen the man, and fully
appreciated his danger. He will be
buried this afternoon.
The house OF Capt. Chambliss, who
lives nine miles below. here, was fired
into. The family had come to this place
two days before for security, leaving a
young white man named Perkins in
charge. Perkins was sitting on gallery,
when,a a cap snapped atthe fence, when he
arose; then followed the. discharge Of a
gun. His chair and the gallery post
were filled with buckshot, Perkins got
his pistol and pursued the men who had
fled iup the road in this direction. No
one was hurt. slA
A freedman on the plantation confirms
isstatement. The whites are apprehen-
sive. but are proceeding with caution.
