Mr.. Duncan at the Murphy meet
ing last Monday night advocated
lmoral suasicn as the best means of
advancing temperance interests. He
deprecated launching its boat uron
the tempestuous ocean Of political
Legislation. There were laws enough
regulating sale of ardent spirits upon
the statute book. The difficulty was
they were not inforced, and in the
present state of popular sentiment
could not be- Even when grand
juries brought indictments into courts
~violators of law escaped with slight
penalties. Mr.. Duncan alluded to
the antiquity of drunkenness and
traced it to Noah, from whose day
to the present it had inflicted untold
injury. Society had tried every effort
to suppress it aaG had failed. Force
itself and restrictive laws had been
unavailingly resorted to and there
was no need of repeating them. The
time for that had not yet come. Be-
fore skillful generals Lurl armies on
their enemies, they are gathered and
drilled. lie advised the friends of
temperance in Mexico to act in the
future as they had done in the past.
Their fame had gone out into the sur
rounding countries, bad done good and
increased zeal for their cause. They
were regarded as leaders and their
was example OF moro consequen ce
than might be supposed. The course
pursued so far had been successful,
and in his opinion if persisted in
would lead to the final triumph of the
temperance cause.
After Mr.. Duncan had concluded
! Mr.. H. Martin Williams addressed
the meeting on special invitation. In
a general way he advocated what Mr..
Duncan had advanced, but although
an experienced manager of one-idea
subjects he got temperance, prohibi-
zion, women suffrage, the church, the
4 ~beIl-punch, Lieut.. Brockmeyer and
Greenbacks into q refreshing hotch-
potch, giving a practical illustration
of the impossibility of managing SO
many discordant matters on one plat
form. On Saturday next he promls-
ed to do better and confine himself TO
hard times of which he has had con-
siderable experience, when he hoped
to see the ladies out as they were
particularly interested in the condi
ton of their husbands pockets at this,
the d of new bodnets. Mr..
Williams is a deliberate and forcible
speaker, entertained his audience
and with suitable preparation would
make an excellent lecturer. He has
no drawback except excessive modes

The FIRST Victory.

The dispatches report that the Army
appropriation bill passed the house on
Saturday by vote of 14S to l22, strict
party vote, ten Of the greenbackers voting
with the democrats in favor OF the bill
There is no installing the result OF this
victory or the fact that it will meet the
appreciation of the people. 1t Is the
first step towards a return to free elections
since the beginning of the war. The posi-
ton of the republicans against the repeal
of the power to use the Army to control
the elections sounds the last death knell
of their party. 1t illustrates the old saying
that, whom the Gods would destroy they
first made pad" In their desperation they
raised the cry Of revolution" and by in
flammatory speeches have endeavroed to
brace up the fraudulent executive to the
point of vetoing the bill. Much Of their
opposition and their speeches have been
for political effect, to fire up the northern
heart, and give their party the old-time
support and confidence. This last they
see is failure. No number of frenzied
speeches can ever make the people over
look their record of partizan class legisla-
ton, their thieving, jobbery and fraud. 1t
now remains to be seen whether 10 their
madness they can induce Hayes TO throw
himself into the breach by interposing his
veto. He can now have the alternative of
blocking the wheels of legisla-
ton or surrendering the arbitrary
and unconstitutional power Of using the
Army TO prevent free elections. it is pos
sible that he may not yet have forgotten
how he, when member of congress from
Ohio, with Garfield and other republicans,
supported articles of impeachment against
Andrew johnson for using the veto pow.
er. Again it may occur to him that his
claim to the seat he occupies may not be
Of that legitimate character that will war
rant him in setting up his wishes agains
the demands Of the people as expressed
through the majority in Congress. HI
holds this power, not by the consent of thu
people, but by the corruption of Supreme
Judges, and for this reason the peopl
have sent to Washington q majority polit
ioally opposed to him, with the positiv
command that they veto the executive il
any dangerous use of constitutional pow
ers. This they have done in such a man
ner as to place him and his'maddened ad
visers in the attitude Of revolutionist
should he attempt it. The scenes hay
so shifted in the last ten or twelve year
as to present abundant republican argu
ment and precedent against such use c
the veto power in the face Of the majorit
in both branches of congress. Should b
pursue the same short sighted policy ths
has controlled the republicans in their dc
bates upon this question, and follow th
advise Of the stalwarts, the republican
will lose nearly every northern state at ii
next presidential election. The issue wi
be free elections and impartial juries," an
there will be no installing the result.
