/ THE TEMPERANCE REvIvAL-THEe MEET
ING AT THE THEATRE LAST NIGHT.-The
largest assemblage at the Theatre since Au-
gust last, when fifteen hundred patriots
gathered there to nominate a Governor,
was present last night to here Mr.. Doutney,
the great temperance reviyalist. The open
ing prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Wright.
On the stage were a number Of temperance
dignitaries Of Richmond, and the quartette
of singers and the lecturer. Mr.. Dout-
ney conducts his meetings a good deal
after the Moody and Sankey style, de-
pending for success almost as much
upon the singing as upon the eX-
hortations. He is laborina under the au-
spices OF committee representing several
organizations here, and has unquestionably
done some good work. II he could drop
his stacy manner, and not rattle along with
pulpit Vernacular in such business-like
way, he Would be more highly appreciated.
and would doubtless succeed even better
than he is doing. III
He was assisted last night by Mr.. Jonah
Broughtor, who has been addressing large
audiences in Norfolk, and who is now on
his way to Petersburg. Mr.. Broughton is
good mimic-he is particularly expert in
initiating the drunkard's hiccough-and
tells an anecdote we'll. His oratory is Of a
florid style. Mr.. Doutney, too, e1cels in
personating intoxicated people.
The singing was quite good; the songs,
however, were not we'll known to our peo-
pie. They did not, therefore, JOIN in the
choruses with the fervid unanimity that
they would have exhibited had old familiar
songs been given out. The piano was q
wretchedIy rackcd instrument, for which
due apology was made. Mr. Hartley sang
a production called ssStonewall Jackson"
which, whilen possessed OF any particular
literary or musical merit, as far as could be
discovered, was received with tremendous
applause.
Mr.. Doutney. in presenting the singer.
said some complimentary things about
Jackson. OF course he was then cheered.
He stated that he had it from a citizen of
Richmond, who had it from Jackson. that
Jackson "feared whiskey worse than the
enemy" More applause.l
The result OF the meeting was hat about
125 persons signed n pledge to forever ab-
stain from all Intoxicating drinks. Cider
is not exempted from the operations OF the
obligation. Though there were fifteen or
sixteen hundred persons present the collec-
ton was small-about $17-Mr. Doutney
said.
Mr.. Doutney says that he killed his father
by bis drunken course Of years gone by.
His subject tonight will be "My Fathers
Murder and His Murderer" From what
Mr.. Broughton said last night of himself
Intoxicating liquor led him almost TO the
scafold
There will be another meeting at the
| Theatre tonight. Better arrangements will
be made for the seating OF those who may
attend and for taking up systematic col
lection, so that none who wish to contri-
butte shall be passed by, as was the case last
night, when some injustice was done in this
respect.
There will also be meetings at the Thea.
ire Sunday afternoon and evening.

THE MoZART.-Last evening the Mozart
gave it's one hundredth musicale, and the
Association may be heartily congratulated
upon the success it has attained. 1t is
firmly established, and now numbers on its
roll five hundred active members. The
Board of Governors have been most etil-
cient in their management, and every men,
Der may Justly take pride in belonging to
an organization fiat affords to them each
week such a source Of pleasure and lnstruc-
ton at the same time. The hall has been
admirably fitted up from time,to time, until
now, on its completion, it furnishes to Rich
mond a want long ielt-viz., comfortable
and pretty hall for concerts and dramatic
performances. The new drop-curtain was
shown last night for the first time, and the
refined taste displayed in its design and
coloring reflects great credit upon Nlr.
Lamb, the artist who painted it, i.
There was brilliant audience present
last evening, and pleasant programme was
given. Mrs. John H. Knowles. Jr., sang
two solos" Three Calls" by Woodbury.,
and s:Won't You Tell Me Why, Robin,"
by Claribel. The first piece was very
gloomy in its character, and as compost
ton is, to say the least OF it, very trite..
The lady, therefore, could not do herselr
full Justice in it. The second was given
with pleasing simplicity and expression,
and won weIl-deserved marks OF apprecia-
tion.
signor Felix Jardella was very happy in
his clarinet solo. The arrangement, by
Bassi, from Verdi's Rigoletto, is exceed
ingly difficult, and requires performer OF
a high order to execute it even acceptably.
Professor kessnich's violin solo, De Be-
riots :sThird Air." was highly creditable
performance.
The orchestra is perceptibly improving
with each performance. 1t is now well
balanced, and with careful study will re-
dound most signaly to the credit OF the
Association. Their execution OF the spright-
" and rather difficult overture by Suppe--
$. Tricoche and Cacolet "-was very good !;
but in the sad but chaste Reverie "-tne
production Of VieuXtemps-there was
caution evinced that bordered on timidity.
This piece requires more study before it IS
given again. The waltzes, Midsummer
Night" by Herman, were played with much
spirit.

BONDS AND CoUPONs-THE BOCoCK-FOw-
LER FUNDING BILL.-In accordance with
the act Of Assembly known as the Bocock-
Fowler funding bill, Governor Holiday has
issued his proclamation inviting all holders
OF Virginia securities to make an exchange
OF the same in registered non-taXable bonds
bearing three per cent. interest for eighteen
years and four per cent. for thirty-two
years. Holders OF S15,000,000 Of "consols"
are to fund their bonds before the "peel-
ers" can have the benefit Of the act.
A yigilant and efficient State officer yester-
day. in examining three-dollar coupon paid
in to him as tax on the great seal OF the
Commonwealth, saw that the coupon read:
" Receivable at and after maturity for all
taxes. debts, and demands due the State"
He missed the word dues. 1t. was ascer-
tanned at the Second Auditors office and
Treasury that though the funding act said
that the coupons should have expressed
upon their face '.receivable at and after
maturity for all taxes, debts, dues, and de-
mands," the word dues had been omitted
from the coupons. 1t is not presumed that
this discovery will unsettle the recent de-
cislon OF the Supreme Court in the coupon
case.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE JoHS NJ. Boris AND BEcKEAI SUIT.
The Supreme Court OF Appeals yesterday
in the case Of Stearns, Beckham and Bolts,
granting the petition for rehearing upon
q single point: that is whether Stearns's
and BottssS representatives shall be allowed
compensation for the value OF the Confede-
rate money paid to Beckham.
This important and interesting case,
decided By the Supreme Court OF Appeals
ON 14th of March, grew out OF contract
dated the 10th November, 1862, by which
Franklin Stealns and the late John NJ. Bolts
claimed to have purchased OF James A.
Beckham, Of the county OF Cupeper, his
splendid landed eStstc called " "Auburn,'
situate in that county, and some personal
property, at the gross price OF $780,
600, cash, payable in Confederate money;
The suit was bill filed by Stearns and
the heirs of Mr.. Bolts against the heirs OF
Beckham TO enforce the execution OF the
contract for the sale by having the title con-,
viewed to them, they alleging payment OF all
the purchase-money. The defence, in the
main. was that at the date Of the contract
Beckham was mentally incompetent to enter
into contract OF such magnitude, and that
il was procured and executed under such
circumstances that court OF equity, ac-
ccrdng to the principles governing its iu-
rsdction, could not lend its aid to en-
force it.
The Circuit Court of Culpeper, at spe-
cial term held by the Hon. G. A. Wingtield.
decided for the defendants and dismissed
the bill OF the plaintiffs, leaving them to
their remedies in court Of law.
The Court of Appeals ION the 14th OF
NIarch) affirmed the decree OF the Circuit
Court, the opinion being delivered by Judge
Burks, and concurred in by Judges Ander-
son and Staples. Judges Moncure and
Christian dissented, holding that it was
case for the specific performance OF the
contract, and that the decree OF the Circuit
Court ought therefore to be reversed.
The purchasers have been IN possession
OF the property for thirteen or fourteen
veers. .Mr. Bolts recovered from the
backs for wood cut from the place during
the war by Federal troops.
The decree OF the Court OF Appeals above
mentioned left the representatives OF Bolts
to their action ut law against Beckham's s
representatives to recover damages for
4 breach of the contract, without pass
ing upon the question OF an account and the
value of the Confederate money. The
present motion to rehear is an application
to the Court to modify so much Of the de-
cree as relates to the matter OF the account
and the Confederate money. The Court, in
granting the motion to rehear, did not, as
seems to be supposed, decide any OF the
questions involved. 1t simply gives to the
parties the right to be heard by their colln-
sci upon the question OF the account and
upon the value Of the Confederate money.

The Mfser.

Why so charry of a kiss? Think you, pretty maid, to miss From a rose-encircIed door, One sweet truant less or more? Foolish miser, not 10 know Where one Is pIucked two others grow! Riches come not but by spending; Profit waits upon wise lending. Yet how canst thou miser be When Nature wastes it's wealth ou theeP How can lips with honey stored Thievish almoners, grudge their hoard. Loves no painted butterfly, Wandering forgetfully, Nor misty humming bird to kill Flowers that load its wanton bill, But secret thrifty bee that knows To bless the source whence bounty flows Frolic, maiden, lair and young, Why youths beauty dost thou wroDg?
 lime soon teaches youth to fly, iouth too apt its wings to try. Think you, when fond youth Is gone, Beauty fingers long alone? Easy it is to be nice,
 Hard the struggle to be wise. Prudent maiden. ah, remember, Kisses grow not in Decem Der. Grant me beauty, then, just one, Ere yon cloud unchains the sun, Look, who knows if it were done?

The Silver Bill.

Under this caption the Territorial Enterprise has a timely article. IL points to the fact that the assaults of New York journals upon the Silver bill are telegraphed to this coast as matters of news, while it is well known that the articles in question are written to order of the gold and banking ring. If the New York dailies, for example, fairly represented the public opinion of the empire city, there might be some excuse for the Eastern agent of the Associated Press acting in this way; but the reverse is nOtOriously the case. The object is very plain, how ever. It is intended to create an i'm pression throughout the country dur ing the recess that the Silver Jjll 5sili be defeated on the resembling Of Congress next month. This is done n the interest of foreign bOndnoluels and Eastern usurers, who are lavish in their expenditure to destroy the much needed fiscal relief which the Silver bill will undoubtedly accomplish. They are endeavoring 10 mold public opinion by means of the telegraph. The public should be warned of this attempt. Let them pay no attention whatever to telegraDhic attacks upon the Silver bill. The country Is in fa- vor of remonetizing silver, and public interest must not slacken until the bill has become law.
Arizona citizen., 1878-01-11

Agaln, further on, talking to the representatives, inculcate, therefore, "on your constituents the eternal rules "of morality and public order; teach them religion without fanaticism, the love of liberty without exaltation; the most inviolable respect for the rights "of others which, is the foundation "of human associations. Washington proclaimed these maxims, and this immortal aln made the happiness of "the States of the North"
 After this It seems hardly necessary to speak further. The Mexicans have ever since been initiating the "civic and moral virtues" which character ize the singular people " of the Unit ed States and the results are selfevi- dent Along the Sonora line, where they have come in contact only with the hardy and energetic settlers of Ar iZona; with ranchers all of whom would scorn to brand another mans cattle; with capitalists who would nev- CT think of bumming a drink; with miners who would rather die than not sink two feet of shaft a year, and with merchants and moneyed men who would rather not get five per cent monthly interest on money than put it into reduction works or quartz mills, all Is quiet and serene, and the Sono- ranIans are industrious, thrifty and prosperous. On the Rio Grande, how ever, where the only Americans to be found are those singular people '" who start out with no capital other than larlat and revolver and soon run it up to five or six horses or band of cattle, the case is different. There the Mexicans, initiating the Texans, have probably caused cattle 10 cross to their side of the rIver, and when the Texans have fought to prevent this, imitation again played a part and conflicts re- suited. The allusion to Washington of course comes with it !" little hatchet, {" and this fully explains why bodies have been found hacked and cut to pieces.
 Now that the mist has been cleared away, we earnestly hope that Secretary Evarts and Senator Conkling's commit tee will by careful diplomacy, have the Mexican government 10 so amend its constitutional address as to strongly advise its people NOT to immitate the " civic and moral virtues of the " sin gular people" along the Texas border

The British Fleet Leaves Beslka
 Bay.

LONDON, December 31-The remov- al of the British fleet from Besika bay 10 the gulf of Smyrna was made nee essary because of the serious risks to iron-clads and their crews wintering at the unsheltered anchorage of Besika. But on the other hand, the transfer 10 a point so near the Dardanelles sIg- nifies the alcrtness with which England intends 10 guard those important straits. While forcible British inter vention is by no means believed 10 be imminent the government certainly Is emitting no efforts at being prepared for it.
 A special dispatch to the Daily News from Plymouth reports that the whole Channel fleet, and all commissioned ships under repair. have been ordered to be ready for sea by Januay 1G.

Grace GreenwOOd's Plan to Settle
 the Rio Grande Troubles.

This sprIghtly lady and bright ob- server and correspondent at Washing ton, has been studying the Rio Grande fights, thefts, etc, and sees a way to settle them without direct loss to the i thieves and some saving to Govern ment, VIZ: "I cannot think that even that wild people, the Mexican raiders, are hopeless subjects. They may be amenable to good living, if not to : good sentiments Let us at least try on them the Indian policy of the Qua kers-that plous but long headed sect, which, in its severely drab, broad brimmed and shad-bellied present ment, has died out, but which survives sparsely and in a modified form in peace commissioners and civil service reformers. It was their idea, was it not, that it is cheaper to feed than to fight a mounted and nomadic enemy ? Some of our military men have adopt ed this idea, but the thrift makes it as of Quaker origin. Now for my plan. It is conceded that the cause of the present unpleasantness is cattle steal ing-a cause of war which was suffi- cient to keep the Highlands and Low lands of Scotland and the English bor- der in hot water for a century or two. It has been estimated, 1 believe, that the annual cost of a regiment of cay airy is about $1,0OO,OOO. They want, I understand, four regiments to guard the frontier. I have also heard the assumed Texas loss by Mexican raid CTS estimated at 10000 head of cattle and 1000 horses. Now, suppose we put $1, 100000 into cattle-at the prices down there, that sum would purchase about 150,000-and herd them on the eastern bank of the Rio Grande. With another million we could pay herders, and purchase some 10000 horses of good stock and good condition-for let us not be mean-and picket or correl them in plain sight of our fierce and felonious neighbors, Then we could say to them, Help yourselves, gentle men, to horse flesh and beef. Arise, slay and eatr By this sort of settle ment we should save some $2,000, 900, and achieve a great moral triumph. To prove tha my plan is as benevolent as bucolic in character, have only to remind you that we should thus spare our Southern brethren the sight of United States soldiers-a martial ex- hibition which has always exercised them so severely. It is true that Texas would be obliged to foregO any little hope of pecunlary advantage she may have cherished in supplying the pro posed four regiments, but we rely on her good sentiments on her prOver bial love of peace and quietness, to lead her to make the sacrifice with cheerful alacrIty, saying with the wise man, Better dinner of herbs where love is. than fat contracts and hatred herewith
