Tho Now York World makes q
heartrending appeal to OK Governor
Horatio Seymour to come to the
front aud assume the leadership of
the Democratic party in New York.
Mr.. Seymour is doubtless very pop
ular with his own party in his own
State, but OF what avail would it be
to the party il he should ascept the
invitation of the Worla.' Men,
however popular, cannot successful
ly assume leadership except at the
call, or by the con sent, of those who
are to be led. 50 long as Kelley
and Tilden do not endorse the invi-
tation even Seymour would not be
accepted as harmonizer aud leader.

From the Old World we have the
news of one Of the most frightful
railroad accidents that was ever re,
corded in the annals of history. A
railroad bridge, with its approaches,
near three miles long, spans the
river Tay, in Scotland, from the city
Of Dundee on the North, to Newburg
on the South. A passenger train Of
SIX coaches was crossing the bridge
just after dark on the night of the
2Sth, when q fearful wind storm set
in; when the train reached the mid.
die of the bridge the storm lifted
about a half mile of the bridge, with
the train, containing, according tc
some accounts, $50 passengers, and
all together, was plunged more than
so feet into very deep water. Not Q
soul escaped death. The railroad
hands, as well as the passengers, per,
ished.

Temperance.

Editor Register: What is meant by
temperance? Does it mean total alb
stinence? If ii means the latter, we
fear the advocates Of this doctrine
will never accomplish much in re-
forming our community. Il they
will preach moderation in drinking,
they may effect some good, but not
otherwise, for as long as the world
stands, men will drink. The example
was set long before the Christian
era, and was kept upeven while the
Son of God was upon this earth in
the shape Of flesh; and Christ him:
self, as well as his Apostles, drank
freely of wine. We have sacred his
tory-the Bible-to prove these facts.
1t is not moderation in drinking that
plays havoc with the human race,
but the abuse of alcoholic liquors.
The writer of this is q total absti.
nence man in the strictest sense Of
the word, and has always preached
and talked temperance, but has never
attempted to reforma man by forcing
the doctrine Of total abstinence upon
him, but, on the contrary, always
proclaimed the great principle, "Be
temperate in your drink, be temper.
ate in your eating, be temperate in
your pleasures, be temperate in all
things" The temperance party in
town oppose license, and the result
is we have the demoralizing social
clubs. When we had licensed sa.
looms, there was n safeguard thrown
around the sale of liquor by the law.
Now we have clubs, that are under
no restraint Of law, whom all car join,
whether person of proper age, or not,
and no one is responsible for the con.
sequences. Far better would it be,
if we had licensed saloons in town,
whose proprietors are under bond,
than to have those social clubs where
there is no responsible head.

Prosperous State.

The present administration Of
West Virginia is noted for the inter
est which the heads of all its Depart
ments have manifested in the nd.
vancement of the resources of the
State and the welfare of the people
at large. So far as our contact with
the State officials enables us to speak,
we have found them to be gentlemen
possessing practical views, accurate
understanding relative othe sources
Of natural wealth, and of the means
best calculated to stimulate their de-
velopment.
Politics as a pursuit in this era Of
general business and industrial pros
perity, has but little significance in
West Virginia. Her people are eth
er engaged in or inaugurating some
enterprise more lucrative and salts
factory than Office hunting. Conse-
quently, they are meeting with we'll
merited success in their various un.
dertakings, and the Commonwealth
goes on prospecting and to prosper"

Governor Garcelon isseventy years
of age; he is not a candidate for any
Office. No man doubts his integrity
or nerve, nor has Blaine, the great
bnll-dozer of Maine, been able, with
all his craft and cheek, to place his
finger upon a single case where the
decision of the Governor and Coun-
Gil has not the authority of the Con-
stitution and Supreme Court to- rest
upon. This is o very different Re-
turning Board from that of Louisi-
ana, when Agnes jerks nda demon
allied negro bar. keeper sold out the
State for cash and office, and imme.
distely shrank from the gaze Of an of,

of duty, or failure to oomply with
the Constitution or the highest judi
