THE LATEST ADvTCEs from General
Grant are that he will arrive from Chi
ma at San Francisco about July 25th.
He seems to have been in blissful ig-
nOrance of the extensive preparations
in contemplation to give him a grand
reception upon his arrival, and simply
requests that George W. Childs, the
proprietor of the Philadelphia "Ledg-
err" may meet him in the west to share
with him contemplated visit to every
place of interest on the Western coast
and in the Western territories. This
will be a great disappointment to many
over Jealous politicians who are anxious
to show their pretended respect for the
General and zeal for the Republican
cause, that they may eat of the crumbs
which would fall from the Generals
table if he were again elected President.
General Grant has no idea of being
disturbed in his explorations, and
would much rather roam over the
Rocky Mountains and explore the sill
yer mines of the West during the hot
month of August, than to be feted and
tiattered in the Eastern cities with the
thermometer at hundred. He has
not yet got tired of sight seeing, and in
his explorations through the West he
has yet to see grander exhibitions of
nature than anything that he has seen
in the Eastern Continent.

Let 1t be InvesiikatPd.

In another column will be found Mr..
George NJ. Butchers appeal to the peo-
pie of Wilmington for justice and de-
mand for rigid examination into the
charges laid against him. He is appa-
rently sincere in his appeal and for his
sake as well as for the sake of the cause
in which he labored so zealously two
years ago in this city, we hope rigid
Investigation will be made. If Mr..
butcher is an Innocent man he is one of
the most prosecuted men that lives
and the people of Wilmington cannot
afford to do injustice to any man ell
gagged in a moral reformation. We are
not prejudging Mr.. Butchers case, but
we will only say that thirgs look bad
and the reports in circulation not only
by word of mouth but in printed
slips. sent out from newspaper editor
who had not the courage to print the
affidavits in his paper, are very damag-
ing to Mr.. butcher, and call aloud for
an investigation. Taking Mrs. Watson
upon her own con nfessioDs, she has
nothing to lose, but all to gain. Even
if she has not reformed, as has been al
legged, she loses nothing; but with Nr.
as he has the reputation Of at least
fourteen years of reformed temperance
life and active work in the temperance
cause at stake. An investigation will
at least show whether the attidavits,
which are flying broadcast over the
city, are true or false, though the real
measure Of Mr.. Dutcher's alleged crimi-
nal intimacy with Mrs. Watson cannot
be brought to light. If these atiidavits
are found to be true by an impartial
COMMITTEES, then Mr.. butcher falls, but
if they are not true it is due to Mr..
De'hci, tHo Pooplb VI w iilhluS toI dllu
the cause of temperance that the fact
should be fully established, and az Mr..
butcher has demanded an investigation
let his demand be complied with. 1t
must not be inferred, however, that if
the people neglect to comply with Mr..
Butchers demands, that he is exon.
Grated from the charges. They have
been made by aflidavits and have been
published to the world IL. knows
Who have made them, and knowing
all this he should move Immediately in
the matter and cite those parties to an
swer before a judicial tribunal. If
something of this kind is not done, the
guilt or innocence Of Mr.. butcher will
always remain unsettled and will face
him upon every platform from which
may attempt to lecture in the Union.
Let all investigation be made.

WE ARE INFORMED by the Ferris Bros,
that the Wilmington City Directory for
1879 1880 will be ready for delivery to
subscribers from the office of publica-
ton tomorrow, and will also be for
sale from the same office to those who
have not subscribed. The little delay
in its publication will be more than
made up in the completeness and gen
ersl accuracy of the work. Ali bust
ness men should have a copy of it.
Daily Republican., 1879-06-12

SoME IDIOT, evidently not Whining
tOnian, or if one, the canvassers for the
Wilmington Directory did not wish to
mar the pages of their book with it,
shows his long ears in attempting to
criticise our local about the s4cona Of
June picnic at the Scheutzen Park. As
the Directory men are ashamed of his
name, we shall deem the production of
a puny imbecile mind unworthy Of
further notice.

NOTE.
me ''Republicsn' sttll leads in
elroulatiOn. Advertise where you
get the most for your money and
tho stke epublican'' II that DaDer.
Datcher and the Temperance Cause.

Some people think that the tenn
perance cause must suffer on account
Of the butcher Watson difficulty, and
that consequently vice and crime will
be on the increase. These people for
get that the success or failure Of good
cause is not dependent on one man or
one woman. People die but principle
never dies, no matter under what name
it NAV exist. Men and women are on.
ly helps and their influence only ex
tends so far as their ability and faith
fuluess to a cause will allow. When
one man falls by the way, another steps
forward and takes his place and thus a
good cause is carried on and handed
down from one generation to another.
II the temperance cause in Wilmington
was alone dependent on Mr.. butcher
or any other one man or woman, then
it cannot fall too soon. Washington
died but the cause of liberty went on.
Arnold proved traitor during the
revolution, but his wickedness recoiled
upon his own head. Lincoln was as
sassinated but the work Of perfscting
tbs Union.savei from the clutches of
slavery, still progressed.
In the religious world, Wesley, Cal
vim, Luther, Knox and host Of other
leaders have long ago died, but
their adhereuts are counted by the
million. Had they turned against the
cause to which they gave their powers
aud their lives, they could not have
stopped the progress of the work they
set in motion. A mans influence for
good is measured by his influence and
character and so far as he spends these
for evil or for good, will his influence
be felt. If the success Of the temperance
cause of Wilmington depends upon G..
NJ. butcher alone the sooner it falls the
better. 1t is an immortal undying
principle, drawing its life power from
the book Of inspiration which says
''No drunkard shall enter the Kingdom
of Heaven" If there are those in Will
mington who are only temperance men
and women because of Mr.. Butchers
impassioned appeals, they are like the
.chaff driven before the wind. Those
who are sincerely reformed and re.Iy
have desire to be emancipated lrom
the influence of intemperance will uoL
b. moved, though thousand Mr.
butchers may fall. lgnt 1t

will live and those who espouse it cuts.
estly will still remain its adher pro.
no matter what may become of the ,,c,.
fessed leaders. and if all Tenpera
effort in Wilmington is to be given up
simply because of the reputation of one
of the leaders, 1t is but sure evidence
that the cause never was founded upon
correct principles. Th- man or woman
who relaxes their temperance effort
on account OF the scandalous reports
about Mr.. butcher, never started in the
work honestly, and to them the failure
of a leader will net make particle of
difference. Where there is no honest
principle, there can be no honest effort
to reform, but where man or woman
is moved by honest principle, they will
remain faithful any how no matter
whether Mr.. butcher leads the van Or
retires to the rear and falls by the
way.
