THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

The Saviour, newly baptized and anointea
stands on the threshold ofhis work, when &k
impulse from on high drives him from tHH
presence of men into the wilderness, there {#
mediate on his mission, to commune VII
his Father and to wrestle with the worluF
great adversary. Thetemptation was ihevlN
able, from the possession of his high endow7
ments, and was needed to equip him for tl1N
work of succoring souls for none can loo
the bonds of others unless he has shown bis
own mastery over the conqueror. Sointense
is the concentration of his Thought, and n
close the communion Of his soti3 tis&t -
forty DAYS he is upbe4ffe a0cve the neeIs n
the body and tastes no food. The reaction
comes, the flesh asserts ITSELF and the Son of
man lies starving on the stones of the desert.
Suddenly, and with crafty maligniiy the
whisper of Satan is at his ear, bidding him
supply his bodily wants through his own mi
trust left in his hands for the good of men, or
to doubt his Fathers care over himself. Then
Satan would turn his trust into presumption,
and urges him to tempt God by rsking his
own life. Again he refuses, and meets Satan
with sentence from the word. Now the ad-
versary plies his last arrow, by bidding him
cast aside his high purpose. employ his pow
ers for worldly ends, and found worldwide
empire with himself on its throne. In an in
slant the proposal is met with scorn, Satanis
foiled and as his dark shadow is lifted from
the scene, angels draw nigh with succor for
the victorious Son.

/ seems that license to sell intox-
icating liquors over at Morgantown
has failed, as an experiment, to dem
Onstrate the correctness of the posi-
ton assumed by the advocates of
license. For a number of years pre-
vious to 1879, the town was without
license to sell intoxicating drinks,
although that question was made
the issue at each election. Last
Spring however, by the force of the
argument that there was just as much
whisky sold without license as with
the license ticket was elected. Several
saloons were granted license, and at
the late term of the Grand jury such
list OF indictments was piled up
against the saloon keepers for selling
wniskey to minors and to other par
ties unlawfully, that they came into
court, confessed judgement on part
of the indictments and agreed to
throw up their licenses, if the rest of
the indictments were dismissed. This
is probably the last of the license
business in Morgantown. : GRAFTON

The terms of twenty-five United
STATE Senators expire on the 4th
Of March. 1881, and the Washington
star figures it out that of the eleven
Republican senators who will retire,
ten are certain to be succeeded by
Republicans, while of the fourteen
Democrats. only seven are equally
certain of being succeeded by Demo-
Gratis. The latter will gain one in
Mississippi, however, which Will
give them a total strength beyond
question, of thirty. six and if Re-
publican legislatures are elected in
Connecticut, New Jersey, New York
and Pennsylvania, as from the po-
litical complexion of those States
now seems probable, they will also
have total strength of thirty-six.
This estimate leaves four senators to
be accounted for; namely. senator
elect Malone, of Virginia, whose po-
sition is at present underlined ; Sena-
tor Davis, of Illinois, who inclines to
the Democracy, and the senators to
be elected in California and Indiana.
1t will be seen that this will be an in
teresting year in politics, aside from
the presidential campaign.

The Exodus Committee has been
organized and will soon commence
taking testimony. No definite plan
has been determined, although Sem
tor Voorhees,, chairman of the COM
mittee, has list of names of prom1-
nent Republicans and others who are
to be summoned as witnesses. The
Democratic purpose is understood to
be to endeavor TO prove that the
wicked Republicans organized the
movement with the intention of
colonizing Democratic or doubtful
states with colored Republicans,
whose votes could be relied upon.
There may have been some talk
among political managers that it
would be shrewd move to take such
an advantage of the exodus, but it is
quite certain that the idea itself did
not originate with Republicans, and
that it is entirely spontaneous. Re
puDllcdH iIlGHlDeTS III tlG COiiliiilbtOo
seem to think that the committee
will be compelled to inquire of the
negroes themselves, who have emf
grated, in order to ascertain the
cause of the exodus and that Voor-
hees, if he is anxious to know why
some of these negroes selected In
diana. will be obliged to ask them,
and not inquire of white Democrats
in North Carolina. The Republicans
will insist that the negroes, who know
most about the matter, shall be sum
moned. The story has already been
published. The testimony for the
present will be mostly taken in
Washington.

These be troublous times for the
Democratic editor. In his efforts to
be on the wining side in the Maine
contest he is having terrible strug-
gle, and already begins to exhibit an
air of WEAKNESS. And no wonder.
Any man who attempts to prove in
the same paragraph that Garcelon
was right. that the decision of the
Supreme Court is sound Democratic
doctrine and that the Court was
packed with Republican judges, has
a right to feel tired. That literary
bureau should be put in operation
again, so as to relieve the perplexed
editor, and enable the Democratic
organs togrind out more harmonious
tunes.

LIQUOR AND CRIME The Socie-
ty in New York, for the prevention
of crime propose to reduce the num-
Der of retail liquor dealers in that
city from ten thousand to two thou
sand. This would doubtless effect
some degree of good, for there can
hardly be doubt that the more nu-
merous sthe sources of temptation
and the greater the facilities for in
diligence the more and more will we
have the effects in the commission of
crime Of one sort or other, following
upon intoxication and general dissi-
patton. But, after all, in dealing
with the matter Of limiting the use
or abuse Of liquor, is it not obvious
that the better and more effective
mode would be the restricting of its
manufacture or to regulate its distri
button from first sources

DEATH OF FRANK LESLIE. Mr..
Frank Leslie, the well-known pubs
Usher, died in New York Saturday
evening, in the 59th year of his age.
He attended to business at his resi-
dence during the respites of his ill-
ness, up to Friday last, and was
dressed and moving about the house
Saturday morning. His sufferings
had been caused by the pressure of a
tumor in his throat on the windpipe
and @sophagus, which prevented
free breathing and at last suffocation
ensued. Mr.. LesIie's name was orig
inally Henry Carter. He was ma
tive of Ipswich, England, and the
son of Joseph Carter, glove manu-
faturer, which trade he also learned.
He early displayed a talent for draw
ing and engraving, and, making his
home in London, became sketcher
on the London Illustrated Neeos and
Pictorial Times. He came to this
country in 1913, and became a pub
Usher on his own account in 1858,
and finally became the head of a
very large publishing establishment
in New York. He failed in 1877,
while publishing thirteen illustrated
Journals. His debts were $4,000,
and his assets, real and prospective,
$500 900. Despite the appointment
of a assignee, Mr.. Leslie up to the
day of his death, remained practical
manager of the business.

Treasury Cramps.

comptroller Heating, in his Jast
annual report, devotes good deal Of
space to showing how necessary tbe
treasury relief loan was to the treas.
|ury-a topic to which he also devo-
ted great space in his repert for 1878
-Dut the figures he submits do not
quite make out his case. The truth
III the matter is that the relief loan
vas devised to cover up the extraya-
|kances of Governor Carrolps admin.
7tratlon IN the unauthorized expen-
ptures on the State House and House
'M Correction, and tor the foolish
I Ilfafy i assiss8 s Tie
state $4,000, without discoyerable
return. The extraordinary demands
upon the state treasury, created by
the unauthorized acts of the Execu.
tive Department, could have been
covered by a loan of S275, 900, but the
party managers would not allow such
monument to be raised to mark
these violations of law, and the de.
vice of large indefinite relief loan
was resorted to cover up the matter.
The total receipts of the treasury in
1878 were S2,693. .244.92, the disburse-
ments 81, 489,079.14, leaving a balance
of $204, 1878. The receipts fef 1873 f8877 IS
were $3.50, ,492. 2.25, the disbursements
Sl,774, 3.26, leaving balance of
$3.50, ,20S.99. In the face of such bal
ances it will be difficult for the states
financial officers to show good
reason for the addition of the entire
amount of S500,O00 to the public debt
during that time to provide for the
current expenses of government. In
deed, when it is recollected that the
state has had since July 1, 1878,
S366,00O in bonds of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, worth consider
able above par, received in payment
of dues on account of the old capita
tion tax on the Washington Branch,
and which the treasury department
had she right to sell at any time, it
is difficult to see the necessity for any
fresh loan, great or small. The stu.
alton Of the treasury was not so bad
that juGicious management and some
little financial tact could not have
maintained its solvency without any
INCREASE of the funded debt. The
Comptroller attaches great impor-
tance to the fact that the treasury has
to make large payments at the time
of the year when receipts are small ;
Dutso common feature of ali public
budgets ought to occasion no trouble.
So large depositor as the state can
have no trouble in obtaining tempo
rary accommodation from any bank

NUMBER 4s
A Letter from Hon. Chas. UConor,


The New York World, publishes a
characteristic letter from Hon. Char
les OConor, the distinguished New
York lawyer, three columns in length,
and written in answer to an invita-
ton to attend a Democratic banquet
at Newark, N. j., on the stb of Ian
uary. In this letter Mr.. O'Conor
says he is constrained to regard it as
absolutely impossible that any one
called Democrat should prevail in
the next presidential contest, and he
declares that the thirty-fiye votes of
thBE grea Sfate sf ev Monk hayq
been delivered by the Tamlnany
bolt into the hands of the Repubii-
can party, and are now held Dy it as
a secure possession. He regards the
attempt of the ID ,mocrats TO seize the
vote of Maine as reprehenslble, and
suggests that this will furnish the
Republicans of the New York Leg.
lslature pretext for changing the
law and choosing presidential elec-
tors, a curse which, in his judgment
they had all along really meant to
pursue" He regards Mr.. John
Kelly as petty "local factionist,"
and alludes to certain New York
leaders, of whom Mr.. Tilden was
one, who in 1913, "from being ex-
ceedingly servile to Southern domi-
nation, suddenly wheeled around be-
cause of merely personal disap-
pointment, and under the free-soil
cry raised the sectional banner of
abolitionism and thereby rendered
it politically fashionable" Mr.,
OConor, says though no Democratic
candidate can obtain a majority in
the electoral colleges, yet as none of
Gen. Grants republican rivals can
desire to see the coveted eminence
practically in his possession for life,
some ofthem might be successfully in
trigned with, but he urges that such
an enterprise should never prosper,
and urges that patriots choosing be-
tween force" and fraud" should
favor the election of Grant.

The Inauguration Address.

ON wednesday of last week at An.
napolis, Gov. Hamilton delivered
the following brief address.
Mr.. Chief Justice and Gentlemen .
rms is not to be regarded, perhaps,
as an appropriate occasion to refer in
detail to specific measures OF public
policy.
Probably | may find it proper dur.
Ing the session, to communicate with
the Legislature upon subjects of gen.
eral interest.
The ahleand elaborate lnassaaa "a
the retlrlng executive, together with
the comprehensive and lucid report
OF the comptroller, give full and
precise information in respect to the
financial affairs of the State, beside
calling the attention of the General
Assembly to the consideration of
matters of great public concern.
But in presenting myself to take
the oath OF office as prescribed by the
constitution, | shall indulge the lib.
erty OF saying that L fully recognize
the impressive significance of the
late expression of the popular will.
In becoming the chief magistrate
OF the State, and in the exercise of
the powers, and in the discharge of
the duties incident to this most hon
orable and responsible position, it
will be with the determination that
everything shall be directed, and di-
rected solely, in the interests of good
government.
There will be upon the part of the
executive most cordial cooperation
with other departments Of the gov
eminent in promoting wise and un~
selfish legislation in assuring far,
pure and peaceful elections; in enfor.
cling rigid economy in all branches
of the public service in reducing
taxation to the lowest point compat-
lble with economical administration;
in correcting all abuses, whether
great or small and wherever existing;
in limiting official employment to
the absolute necessities of the State,
and in maintaining an elevated stan
dard of official prohity, capacity and
apDlication-to the end hat we and
our children after us may continue
to enjoy the blessings of free govern
ment and still further that the Just
and well-founded expectations of the
people may be realized.
The governor, the senator, the del
egate, diyested of the pomp and cir
cumstance of place and stripped of
his official robes, is, at best, but a
plain, simple and unadorned agent,
entrusted by the people with duties
to be performed in their interests,
and for the faithful and fearless per-
, folmance of which his honorand all
that he should hold dear in life are
pledged to the people.
Allow me now the privilege of ad-
monishing all,in language as impress
siye as it is in my power to use. that
it is not with specious promises, or
gilded words, or glittering generali-
ties, but with Lying deeds and actions
that the people will be or ought to be
content.
Called by the people to the office
of Governor of Maryland, am
deeply sensible of the responsible
ties | am about to incur. My highest
ambition will be gratified if, when
[ come to lay down this great au-
thority and once more return to the
walks of private life, shall bear
with me the consciousness of having
fairly, honestly and faithfully dis
charged the important and imposing
obligations | here now assume.

Hernard'sL Libel Suit.

The case of Lewis G. Bernard against the
Cincinnati Gazette Company was heard to-
day before Judge Force in the Superior
Court on demurrer to the petition. s.
The plaintiff claims that the Gazette pub
lished an article headed Free Birds OF
Prey" in which it charged him with lobby
ing at Columbus and endeavoring to secure
by confidence tricks improper legislation.
The plaintiff claims the charges in the
articles are false. malicious and iibelous,
and that it was published with intent to in
jnre him in the estimation of his fellow
citizens. The defendants counsel, Mr..
Ramsey, demurred to the petition, and
c,ntended that the article was not libelous.
The substance of it was that Mr.. Bernard
assisted in the attempt to secure legisla-
ton. which Legislation the article charac.
terized in harsh terms, but the act imputed
to Nj. Bernard was consistent with his per-
sonal honor. . ........-
Mr. A. A. Kramer, for the plaintiff, con.
tended that the article was libelous, and
that it in effect charged him with swind-
ling and using improper means to bring
about legislation. t ..I
The demurrer was held under advise
ment. ...... .-.t
