THE TEMPERANCE, MEETING LAST
NIGHT.

Fully five hundred citizens turned out
last night 10 welcome DR.. Reynolds back to
Cairo. The lower floor Of the Reform Club
building, on which the crowd assembled.
contained compact mass OF interested lu-
mainly. Every seat was filled, standing
room was at premium and quite a num-
Der loitered outside.
After the opening formalities, Mr.. W. p.
Barclay, the president of the Reform club,
INDUCED in few remarks. during which he
announced that the club had entered upon
new campaign, which it was the purpose
to push witty gor DR.. Rcynold, had come
to their aid; but to render his labors sue
ccSstul he mus, have the cordial support OF
the people. The Doctor could do all that
any one man could accomplish; but if il
was desirable to reap full crop Of benefit.
from his labors, the Temperance men Of
Cairo must cooperate with him, hold up
hi, hands, and show by their acts as well
as their words, that they heartily desired
great temperance revolution in Cairo.
Mr. Barclay concluding in a round Of
applanse, introduced DR.. Reyn dds, who
was received in like manner.
The Doctor commenced by an alusion to
himself, how his four years labor had
! caused him to gravtate to all point, be-
tween Dan and Bcr,hcba," and how that
he visited no city with feelings Of more sin.
ccrc pleasure than the city of Cairo. He
made 10 prctcnsions to oratorics cmlncncc.
Instead Of striving to win applause by the
hurrah-boys style Of oratory; instead Of
feeding his nearer, % delicate ti,.bits and
sugar plums, it had been his aim to address
himself TO the reason and common sense Of
his hearers, aud TO feed them On cold corn.
beef plain.
He then entered with much warmth and
energy into plea for those who had bro
ken the pledge. He said it was no cause
for wonder that men broke their pledge
The cause for wonder was that men kept il.
Nobody but the incbriate who had been
won from his cups, could tell the strength
ofwill. the constant effort it required in the
man who had acquired an appetite for
liquor, TO observe his pledge and keep it
inviolatc. Knowing something himself, OF
the horrible sinking and cvcr-longing OF
the uncurcd appetite, his whole soul went
out in sympathy for the man who had bro
ken his pledge. If the congregation would
point out to him the men who
had, through apprchensions Of dis
case, resortcd to "hcll's kindling wood"
TO fortify themselves against dan
| gers, he would show them in return some
OF the warmcsthcartcd and best men in
Cairo. They are the men who call for and
desire the sympathy and charity Of those
who know nothing about the slavery Of in.
temperance; they are the men who need the
help and the encouragement Of those who
stand because less tempted. All the charity
and sympathy of his heart were theirs; and
if he could help them If by word or deed,
he could aid thc'a in again throwing off the
shacklcs, 1t would be work Of love for
| him TO do so. lie was here for that MIR.

WHO HAS BACKED Down?

II now looks as if Congress began to en-
tertain the thought of doing something for
the country and going home. 1t has taken
nearly three months for it to purge the
"cussedness from its system so that il
could get down to healthy work. There are
now symptoms of returning sanity, good
sense, and good faith in the fact that it has
put aside some of its party nonsense and
brought forward one of the appropriation
ties and deiormities, and more in ac-
cord with the traditions of American
legislation. There would have been nc
difficulty in passing such measures two
months ago, The Republicans would not
have opposed, neither would the President
have vetoed, a proper appropriation bill nj
any period in the session. But they would
oppose and he has interposed the veto power
as often rs the Democrats attempted to toist
upon the statute book improper and even
unholy laws in the interest Of corruption
wrong, and outrage After wasting much
valuable time, and after yexing the country
as it has not been vexed and disturbed since
the rebellion, finding that there was nc
power in Congress TO consummate its
schemes Of iniquity, the majority has yirtu-
ally surrendered its revolutionary and star
walton policy and returned to a more sensi,
bic, rational, and patriotic line of policy, SC
far as a part Of the appropriations are con.
cerned This is WE'LL but it will not change
or wipe out the record that the majority
has made, and which has been read and Is
understood throughout the country,
The firm and patriotic position assumed
by the Executive has forced Congress to dc
Justice to the country against its will ant
purpose; hence the President, not the ma
jority in Congress, is entitled to the ful

been opened and drapcd. Atlanta was not,
however, to be banked by Governor Colquitt
any more than Garrison was by Gov

and neatly draped. II was crowded.

Rev. Mcssrs Winser aud Ashly, Rev. Dr. Fuller,
and the president made addresses. Professor

hymns chosen were elIectivc-"How Happy
