TIE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT II NORTHERN
NEW YORK. Within the past two months up
ward of 70,000 persons throughout Northern
New York have signed the Temperance pledge.
All Of these were obtained through the agency
Of what is termed the blue-ribbon movement.
Those advocating the movement are distinct
lecturers, each having different pledge, and
form,n societies at the close of their labors.
with various terms to designate them. Fran
els Murphy, at Troy, calls those organized by
him Gospel Temperance Christian Unions,
while the others seem to generally adopt the
term Reform Club. The lecturers include
Francis Murphy and about dozen helpers,
including Clarence c. and David G.. Frost,
two very successful workers, from Maine ;
Major Doutney, who held meetings in Albany
for several weeks, but who procured only
about 5000 names. and Col. John Ninton,
who made tour of Washington County, and
secured about 1000 signatures to his pledge
The estimate of 20, 900 includes about 30, 600
in Troy and adjacent villages, where Murphy
and his colleagues labored 15,OOO in the
Hudson Valley II, 900 in the Mohawk Valley
and L., 600 throughout Washington, Rens5e-
laer, and Warren Counties and among the
principal villages between Troy and North
Adams. The work is yet going on and in
creases in enthusiasm daily The liquor traf-
fic has become Improbable, and no less than
800 saloons are known to have been closed up
from the direct influence of these meetings.
The Frost brothers make the following show
ing Two thousand signatures at Hudson,

4 Baltimore correspondent says-Johu
Wilkes Booths remains were removed from
Washington several years after the war by his
mother and brother, and brought to this city
and buried in Greenmount, in the family lot
The lot is very pretty one, the size about
ljx20 feet covered with beautiful sod, and
enclosed with marble. In the centre of the
lot there is a very pretty monument of granite
and marble about fifteen feet high on one
side there is an inscription to this effect
Junius Brutus Booth. Born May /, 1896

If The gentlemen who represent this city IN

removal Of the scat of government To the
country, II seems to us that the least they
can dn for their constituents Ia to be In their
seats when the votes are taken on the subject.
The city needs at this moment more than ever
the assistance of every friend II has TO sustain
Gta claim to the position Of capital Of the State
for that claim has been very much weakened
bv the disgraceful proceedings that occurred
at the mass meeting on Saturday night. Ad-
vocates Of the removal Of the scat Of govern
. mcnt have not been slow in making capital OF
the ineiiiciency OF the police on that Occasion,
or Its completely in the outragcs that were
perpettated.
They have very naturally Urged that II
peace and good order cannot be maintained in
this community, II respectable men, and
among them several members Of the Legisla-
lure from the country, are not permitted the
poor privilege Of expressing their opinions on
matters Of State policy without molcstation
from rowdies and bullies, New Orleans Is not
a ht place for the capital. And this arg,l-
ment found powerful support in the faint and
gingerly reproval Of the outrage by tho TtnSa,
and the utter silence on the subject of the
Picuynpe. until yesterday evening, after the
Mayor had ordered an investigation The
effectiveness Of this line of argument Cannot
he denied. and 1t must be apparent to every
intelligent man that the Senators from this
city cannot afford TO fritter away their
strength by absenteesm We hope that they
will not only be present when the vote R
taken, but do what they can to vindicate the
honor and dignity Of New Orleans and ite
character as an orderly and ll-govcrned

We do not think 1t necessary to congratu-
late Mr.. Henry Peychaud upon his acquittal
by tho jury OF the charge Of conspiracy to
defraud the United States government in the
prosecution of the Bellocq- Nohlom case, for
we never had moments doubt Of his inno
cencc. No man ever enjoyed a more honor
able or better earned reputation for prpbity
in our community than a this pure and
singlc-minded gentleman, who has been
made the victim Of designing scoundrels
and subjected to the humiliation
which it was simply impossible that he could
have been guilty. There are some people who
seem to gloat over the threatened ruin and
disgrace of honorable men. If any such ever
pleased themselves with tho anticipation of
Mr.. Peychaud's conviction, careful reading
OF the testimony given on the trial Of the case
must have sadly disappointed them. The
charge of the Judge, which we have read
with great care, embodied can emil
onently clear and impartial exposition of
the law governing conspiracles and OF the
QUESTIONS to be examined and considered
bv the Jury, and must have greatly aided
them in their deliberations On the whole,
the trial was conducted with dignity ana de-
corum. The only thing we remember 70 nave
taken exception to in our reading OF the pro-

to repeal the charters OF the New Orleans
