PUBLIC OPINION.

BLAIsE and the administration shook
hands and called it square 4 little too
quick for the average southerner,-Rich-
mo'.d Enquirer.
Mr.. HAYES mag be conccaling an iron
hand behind velvet glove. Wo like
not altogether his treatment OF South
Carolina and Louisiana. Tho suspense
is terrible TO those statca, and every day
adds to the accumulated miscry.--A"gus-
Ia CUnsttttiuOnGList.
The Siamesc twins made mistake in
diving when they did. If they had lived
Till now Mr.. Hayes might have secured
them for the Postotfice Department,
Chang to take charge of the northern mp
,,nn.mr..ts and EaC AZ tho southern
ones.-New Fork World
Ne event since the surrender ut Apo
mattox has been frsught with more
blessings to the country than Will attend
the stroke of the pen that shall recall the
soldiers of the union from the work of
partisans and lift tho bowed heads of
our Offering but too sorely punished
sister commonwealth, South Caro-
line and Observation-Disclosures Times.
THERE is talk at Washington OF new
bargaiB between Hayes and the southern
members, BY which the latter, in return
for the boon of local government,
some time or other to be conferred by tho
hesitating President, are to secure for
the administration republican organi-
cation of the next House. AS the demo-
Gratis will have at the utmost majority
of but nine, and at the least OF but four,
according to the rpll Of Clerk Adams,
this bargain, it will be seen, could be
yery easily consummatcd, and when it is
remembered that the conservatives of
Louisiana have already expressed their
willingness to purchase recognition BY
granting immunity to the members of
the returning board, it does not seem al
together impossible that they should
mako this further concession. AS to the
morality as we'll as the policy OF such
compromise there can be, of course, but
one opinion. 1t would be an unprece'
dented act of political perfdy, and in
stead of insuring the liberty Of the en-
shaved state government, would place
them again at the mercy of the Repub-
lican party.-Battimore Gazette.

The temperance QuestiOn.

Editors Register:
A correspondent of yours busted him.
self in Yesterdays REGISTER to attack
nv article on "Wine and Total Absti-
nance" contained in the Sunday Leader.
l therefore beg leave, provided you have
the necessary space to spare, to offer you
the following answer for publication in
your valuable newspaper.
On account of my statement IN my
said article that in the Bible wine was
recognized as beverage, my antagonist
saws: German. American does not &C.
cept the Bible, personally, as authority"
To this | have to reply that l believe IN
all the moral truths contained in the
Bible, but do not believe in the Bible as
handle for priestcraft. Priestcratt,
as history clearly shows, has been the
cause of the bloodlest and most desolating
wars. by which no country has suffered
more than Germany, my native land.
Ic1nsidcr and hereby repeatedly de.
clare every Temperance pledge h"n6"g.
The person signing such paper thereby
promises to keep sober and exhibit tenn
perste habits. BY doing so, said person
proves virtuouS. But virtue can be die
tated to a man or woman exclusively by
his or her own conscience and by self re-
spcct, and not by n piece of paper, what
ever may be written or printed on 1t.
Virtue, depending upon the contents OF a
piece of paper, and true virtue COM
msnded by the human heart itself are
incompatible with each other. Paper
virtue, therefore, or in other words the
temperance pledge is sham, a humbug.
Virtue, in reality. can be engraved
upon the human heart only ans not be
written or printed upon paper.
My antagonist claims, that by defend
in@. in my above mentioned article, puro
ard unauthorized wine against total
abstinence, am wrong. May be l am.
Ii | be wrong. my antagonist may
pardon me and be mindful of the fact
that / belong to class OF men, best de
scribcd by The following poem that has
been inspired neither by wine nor by
lager beer, viz:
Well, the German, although he goes to
Yet always, everywhere remains a fool.
Why. look there, his wine or beer he
quafls It;
His distasteful soarkrout ne swallows it /;
| HissausaGes and bretgelS, he eats them;
As to Swiss and Llmburg cheese, he likes
them.
But, and that is the worst, Tor til se thing
| all
He pays, and mostly shuns in debt to fall,
Very respectfully yours,
A GERMAN.AMERICAN.

evening and the REGISTER OF this morn
ing personally arrsign me BY name !
feel called upon TO notice what they nave
said in regard TO certain business trans
actions of mine, and to. say in reply 70
their remarks that ! am willing 70 have

gret that l cannot get the afhdavits OF
sll the parties concerned l mean the
parties who are represented to have been
so grossly chisseled by me out of their
hard earned money. I would like to
have published such affidavits along
with this communication. l desire, how
ever, to say this much now.
l. That while l knew there was to be
paid to the City Receiver on Saturday
last the sum of 81 $50, yet l did not
know that it was intended to pay the
parties who asked me to discount their
orders. Neither did Mr.. Day know this,
for be had short time before said TO me
that he wanted the money to pay John
Cummins and his hands. Now if Mr..
Day knew the money was for the pay.
ment of such claims as ! cashed, he per-
pretrated fraud on the holders OF them
when he said to them that there was no
money in the treasury with which he
could redeem their orders.
2. All the orders / cashed, with the
exception of one, were cashed at the re-
quest of the parties holding them, and
two of them in the presence of both Mr..
Day and Mr.. Updegraf, the clerk, who,
if they thought there. was money on hand
ought to have spoken up and said so.
8. The money that 1 received from
Mr.. Black, the collector, was not for the
order l bought at discount, but for bills
that 1 had paid McClyment s. Watts for
work done for the city last fall, and so l
to both Mr.. Black and Mr..
Day at the time, and their affidavits to
this effect are at my disposal.
4. The orders that | discounted were
cashed simply to accommodate the parties
holding them, and they expressed Their
thanks for the accommodation at the
time, and informed me that they arc ready
to do so in print il called upon.

my possession, and those who think them
SO desirable as purchase, can buy these
at precisely what paid for them with
nv thanks +. j. STONE.

GREECE.

Hellas presents a spectacle utterly In
comprehensive to those who believe that
the root of disc ontent lies at Athens. On
the Greek side ofthe imag mary line which
separates the Greek from the Turkish
Provinces, one sees a people erjoying more
than ordinary material prosperity aud a
more than ordinary exemption from crime.
Their interest is ceutered in a small camp
of eve Thousand men, who under tbe eys
OF their King are learning quietly and me-
thodically the art of war in all its most
scrppalous detaiIso- There is no agitation,
no display of fierce passions. On the
Turkish side, asiwild soldiery tyrannizes
over the ;peasantry. bands of briganls
infest thu mountains, government is in
abeyance. and poverty aflicts Christians
and Mussu mans aike. Terribl, are the
ACCOUNTS pfsnffsring which reach US from
