through ignorance or general per-
versity, kills the wrong part of the

From the Wheeling Holhs1,att.

From the Wheeling VolksJlah.
The Temperance Convention
which took place yesterday and
the day before in Wheeling, has a
more than usual significance. Even
if we do not care to report the COM
ical features of the whole business,
yet we cannot deny the seriousness
of the present situation. 7 x i
The energy and will which has
been manifested during the trans
actions of the Convention even as
to the minutest details of the or
ganized Temperance work through
out the whole State, as well as the
remarks thrown out by the dele
gates during debate, leaves no
doubt that during the coming Fall
the temperance men will prepare
for a much more severe fight in the
Legislature than they made last
winter, and by reason of their bit
ter experience which has made
them wiser, they will use every
thing in their power to accomplish
their purpose.
We know that many friends of
personal liberty, look despisingly
upon the efforts Of the Temperance
men, because they simply think
that this class of people are fanat-
les, and that they can in no wise
secure two-thirds majority in the
Legislature for their purpose. We
think differently about it, especial
ly since we have been present at
the convention and we would re-
gard it as an objectionable sin if
the friends of personal liberty
should again be taken unawares as
they were last winter. That the
temperance people have. already
commenced their work, and that
they intend shortly to have an or
ganization in every school district,
and that they will spare neither
time nor money to fully prepare
themselves with petitions, etc, to
go before the Legislature next win
ter, there can be no doubt. We
therefore can only give our earnest
advice to our friends of personal
liberty, and to such as take heal
thy and sensible view of life, to be
prepared to fight them with live
weapons, if they do not wish the re-
cent example of Kansas to be re-
peated in our own State.
eternal vigilance is the price of
Liberty May the friends of per-
sonal liberty so perceive.
It is of no use, like the ostrich
that hides it head in the sand, not
to see the danger. Fight the dan
ger openly and manfully, and you
will receive the prize of liberty.
< 4 i i Particularly would
we desire to give this word of earn
est advice to those, to whom the
temperance issue is of more impor-
lance than a matter of mere senti-
ment. u.
The Volksbtatt is perhaps the
leading German paper of the State,
and reflects the sentiments of the
German element. We hope its pre-
dictions as to our earnestness in the
temperance work will be verified.
We second the motion, that the
liquor-trafic advocates proceed to
petition the Legislature. 1t would
be as good as show to see an at
tempt made throughout this State
to procure signatures to petition
in behalf of the liquor interests
| Come on with your petitions. PRINT
them in German by all means.
But it is well enough for the
| friends of temperance to make a
note of how the real friends OF the
traffic regard our efforts. Onward

WORK, NOW.

Last weeks Convention Edi-
ton" was sent by the State Tenn
perance Executive Committee
to the newly appointed Ex-
ecutive Committees in every
county in the State, besides to ma
ny others.
We urge upon the friends of
Temperance and Prohibition every
where in the State to work, and
WORK NOW, for our glorious cause.
Within the next ten days proba-
bly, temporary Committeeman
will have been appointed in every
magisterial district in the State
What for? Let us tell you what to
do.
l. Consult with your County Ex-
ecutive Committee and arrange for
and call a temperance meeting in
your district at once. Or, if it
suits your locality better, have two
Or more meetings. Have the best
local speakers present that you can
get, Pass resolution ratifying the
Amendment, another asking
your Senators and Delegates in the
Legislature to cote to submit the
amendment to a vote of the people,
and another requesting your local
papers to publish a short account
OF the meeting. Let this meeting
also effect permanent district or
ganlzation that is, elect Presi-
dent and Secretary and District
Committeeman in lieu of the tenn
porary one that has been appointed.
2. At once and before you call
this meeting if necessary, cast
about in your own mind, and con-
suit with others, SO as to at once Sc
lect sufficient number of gentle
men or ladies to thoroughly can

the Legislature, during the months
OF September and October. Select
some good gentleman or lady in
each neighborhood, one who will
take the pains when the time
comes, to see every person in the
community, to wait on them per-
Sonally and get them to sign the

pers which might be improved in

Messenger.
Yes, we suppose the Messenger
might be improved in that way,
but we rather guess the editor of
the Gitmerite would have something
70 say about his editress helping to
improve any other paper.
The West Virginia FREEMAN, in
publishing a list Of the counties
which grant license for the sale Of
intoxicating liquors, places Monroe
under that head, but classes Green
brier as one of the anti-license
counties. This is clear case of
discrimination. Greenbrier grants
license to the White Sulphur
Springs, but refuses to all other por-
lions of the county Monroe grants
license to the Sweet and Red Sui
phur Springs, but refuses else
where. Upon what grounds the
FREEMAN makes a distinction be-
tween the two counties does not
clearly appear, They surely de-
serve to be placed under one and the
same ad.-Border Wdtchman.
We stand corrected, good brother,
and beg pardon for the uninten-
tional wrong to old Monroe. We
had been advised that Greenbrier
refused to license absolutely; but as
she stands firm with Monroe
against the traffic, except in the
two or three places Of Public Resort,
you are both near the kingdom Of
sobriety, and you will see in this
number that we have taken you in
on probation, being fully persuaded
we shall have you in full fellowship
in the cause of Prohibition. ~

has been made that will be raised in Mason's

been injured by tho shot, tina. therefore it
WAS impossible for Mason to have carried out
his intent 10 kill Guiteau; that it is not sufi-
cient for the accused to have an intent to
commit on otlense, but IL requires, in order
to constitute a crime and to secure a con.
yiction therefor, tina! the crime was possible

In illustration Of this point, tho lawyers
