The TEMPERANCE FoLKs-The usual
afternoon temperance meeting was held
on Sunday in the McClary building on
Market street, and was not so largely at
tended as the proceeding meetings have
been.
Mr.. A. A Sergeant was called to the
chair and after the singing of Rock Of
Ages" prayer was offered by Mr.. Wor-
rel. III n.. -15.l RI -.,
Mr.. Sergeant then made a few remarks
in which he said that thus far in the
series of meetings which had been held
the attendants had simply enjoyed them
selves. If any good was to be done, they
must throw off this lethargic spirit and
60 zealously to work. s
Rev. DIR. Lansing Of Atlanta, Ga, mis-
siouary OF the Freeman aid society was
then introduced. He spoke at some
length upon the evils Of the liquor traffic
and said that nothing but firm wrestling
Of Gods people in the cause could drive
it from the country. He said that at
the Conference he had heard some very
poor ideas on temperance; one dear broth
er did not want Temperance brought into
politics, yet while the political field was
80 infected with intemperance he could
see NO good reasons for not allowing a
little total abstinence also. Enough
money was spent in Wilmington alone
in one year to relieve all the misery and
want for twice that time.
Mr.. Wells stated that the people Of
Wilmington were getting veryindifferent
on the temperance question and he
thought it would be a good idea to cir
culate the pledge for the reception Of
names. This was done.
1t was then decided by vote that
another meeting should be held at the
same hour and place next sabbath after
noon.
After singing the dorolory the meeting
adjourned.

THE BRLLoGa CONTEST.

There was conference of republi-
can Senators this evening at the Ebbitt
House to consider the course to be pur-
sued in Kellogg's case. A disposition
is now shown to drop the matter until
next session. The continued illness of
Edmunds, and Cameron, of Wisconsin,
Sharon's absence and the uncertain at
titude of Conkling on this question,
make it very doubtful whether the
Senate will agree to stay in session
solely for the consideration of Kel>
logg's case or whether, If the question
comes to the vote now, Kellogg will
get his seat. II Morton sees fair
prospect of succeeding he will undoub-
tedly try to dispose of the matter at
once, but just now he finds little to en-
courage him. s.... ,.s,-...

was vicious, in spite of our penal servitudc,
which Is execrable, and not in consequence
of it, tho disadvantages of II criminal life
have been weighed against the advantages
Of liberty and good repute, and new course
has been adopted without any adventurous
encouragement from reformatory institu-
tions. The law would seem to be that devel-
opmcnt is i'm the direction Of least resistance.
Hence the value of good environment and tho
power of skilful discipline, which might re-
move obstacles to sound physical and men,
tai organization, and artiicially contrive to
open up the direction Of least resistance In
the channel of tho established laws of social
order We are glad to sec, however, that the
exceedingly able and useful report to which
we are indebted for these conclusions, places
no reliance on institutions of any kind,
whether voluntary or State, recognizing that
the tendency of such establishments is to
break down the spirit of independence and
sclf-reliancc of their inmates. The work of
reforming the criminal and eliminating the
causes of crime must be left to the awak-
encd conscience OF the community, to the
earnest, intelligent effort Of the individual
citizen.

The Cabinet of the Fraudulent Presi-
dent.

The path to power is never entirely
smonth, and the advancement OF Mr.. EvARrs
constitutes no exception 10 the general rule.
II seemed TO bc conceded in all quarters
that. in the event Of the perfect success of
the frauds by which Mr.. HAYES is to bc
made President. Mr. EvARTs would become
Secretary Of State; but We learn that pow
rrful opposition to his appointment has
already been developed. IL IS said that it
would not be satisfactory to Mr.. STANLEY
MATTHEWS and Mr. DENSIsoS, formerly
Governor Of Ohio who have already opened
shop a. HAVE, cabinet makers.
apprchond, however, that the oppOsi-
tion 90 Mr. EyAKr, will all be- in vain. There
may bee n good deal Of wrangling about the
matter beforehand, but in the end he will be
appointed If h. Is willing to serve under n
fraudulent President. His superior fitness
for such place commcnds him 10 the favor
of his party, and Prcsident-and still more
II Fraudulent Pro-lleut-is influenced more
by what hr believes 10 Dee the popular sontl-
Incnt among his political supporters, in Sc
lcctng Cabinet than by his own personal
preferences. This WAS not the case with
Gen. GKANr hut then he regarded the meme
beers of his Cabinet in the light of stan Of
ficcrs, and, IN most respects, he has been an
exc pton To- all rules.
The only really formidable obstacle in Mr..
IyAIusS way into Cabinet which from
its peculiar origin Is sure to be historical, IS
constitutional peculiarity-his extreme
dilidoncc; but this the pcrsuasions and as
suranccs Of his party friends will probably
overcome.

The possibility that RYAN and OscHwALD,
who recently paid the forfeit of their lives at
Newark, for the murder Of Officer BROCK,
may after all, have been innocent, has be-
come subject OF very general discussion
by the newspapers.
The confession which these men left be-
hind Them that they had formed a plan to
commit suicide, II plan which RYAN after
ward carried into execution, may not be
without some bearing on the main question.
That confession was entirely unnecessary.
If it had not been made, the fact that they
had taken poison, or that one Of them had,
might never have been known. They treat
il, throughout their letter. as an act which
requires the forgiveness of their friends yet
the admission Of their purpose is frankly
and fully made.
Now it may he said that their voluntary
confession Of this fault Is some evidence that
if they had been guilty of the offence for
which they died, they would have been like
ly to confess that ALSO yet in the concluding
sentence of this letter Of confession RYAN,
in postscript added after their joint sigma
lures, repeats his asscvcration of innocence:
Mamma, l die an innocent man.
II il due to Gov. BEDLE to mention that
he made careful examination of tho case,
and that he now states he secs no reason for
believing the conviction erroneous.

To-day is the birthday OF our first Prcsi-
dent and the man who stands out first among the
pcrsonagcs OF our history. OF late years WASH
ISGroN's birthday has attracted little attention.
and probably "a considerable share OF the people
are utterly unmindful Of ts significance.
and more Of them are indifferent to 1t.
Since the war. the heroes Of the ante
rior period. especially those Of the Rev
oution. seem TO have declined in the
popular estimation. The rebellion was on
Il so much grandcr scale than the Revolutionary
struggle. that the operations Of the latter seem
comparatively insignificant nowadays. The re-
bellion is a great gulf between two essentially
distinct periods Of our history. It got rid Of
slavery. and for the time killed secession, but it
has left us Il legacy Of evils. Of which the worst
is that Of having at the head Of our Government
a President whose Inauguration resulted from
successful fraud.
