TEMPERANCE.
The Marphy movement, which has
swept the southern tier of counties in
til State ike a whirlwind. is being
insugura,ed in this city. the ten
perance bodies, under The leadership
of young Tying, and others equally
Jealous, have perfected a consolida
lion, and will make q movement along
the whole line. Licenses have been
granted as freely as ever, for the pro-
visions in the excise law, which pro-
bibit licenses to all except innkeerers,
who kept three beds for the accom-
mediation of the public, was very
easily eyaded. The rum mills each
puI up three hunks in their rear
rooms, and uabIu ,hingly sEo-c that
they were innkeepers, and got their
licenses. The buoks Were found con-
veDient, as they could be used 10 lay
out the more respectable OF their Gus
toners when they got two heavy a
cargo on. Practically there is no
regulation or check upon rum-sellIng
in this city-it is all free as air. Eve
rybOdy sells who CHOOSES, and sells
whenever be chooses Sundays AID
week DAYS, il is all oae. The temper
ance bodies are determined to put
some i%mpedimen. 10 their way, and
to do it now. They intend TO hold u
series OF monster meetings, to awak-
the public conscience, and then 10
commence lega! proceedings vigorous
ly. They viii organize in every
ward, have vigilance committees, the
best counsel TO take the cases through
the courts, and at the meetings they
expect TO make it warm for the pub
lie men who stand in the way of re-
form. They intend TO shut up Q
great many who cannot stand the ex-
pense Of repeated prosecutions-ac-
complishing q great deal Of good
thereby, as these are The small buck
bishops that furnish the very poor
with the yilest rum-aud they intend
well to regulate the traffic among
those who are too strong to be
squelched. compelling them to g least
keep it within the bounds OF deeeney. 1
All good citizens are expected to join
10 the movement, and by sheer force
of public opinion make il a success
1t will amount 10 something this
time, for il is being gone about in the
proper way
FINANCIAL TROUBLES
Another banker, this time q Ger
man named Grendt, has absconded,
leaving his depositors with nothing.
He wasn't a great thief, only $l25,-I
600 was taken by him. but when 1t
is considered that this money was
the all of a thousand poor laborers,
widows and girls, who had put each
their little pittance where i; was sup
posed to be safe, that they might
have it TO pay rent and for food
against the day when there could be
40 work procured, the extern of the
disaster NAV be cJmprehended.
When it became known that be had
sbsconded, about q tbouzand people
whose deposits ran from 81 to s25,
were at toe bank, the men cursing,
and the women weeping. The Treas
urer Of The French Benevolent Socie-
" Runaway with all their funds, S20,-
00o, and one or Two life insurance
companies are ia the throes of disso-
IGuon. Take it ell 10 all il is as IN
healthy fnsncially as it il in other
respects.
BUSINESS
is dead, and the weather is terribly
hot The days bake and the nights
parbJil 1t is muggy. saltry, sticky
and nasty. OF course there can be
nc buying or selling in such weather,
for The seller hasn't energy enough
TO name q price for anything. ant the
buyer hasn't strength enough to ae-
eepi or decline. Everybody is get
