gard to this, as most other matters,
has been inconsistent. and it may be
doubted whether he has not harmed
the cause Of temperance more than he
has helped it. People can under
stand and respect man who declines
to drink wine himself and refuses to
set it before his guests. But nobody
can have much respect for man who
fails to provide wine for his guests
especially when as at State dinner
they are not so much his guests as
those of the country whose hospitality
he dispenses--aud yet goes to other
peoples tables and drinks their wine.
1t gives color for the story that the
real reason why 90 wine is furnished
at the White House is not because
Mr.. Hayes has any moral prejudice
against it, but because be wanted to
save the expense. It certainly is a
fact 90 occupant Of the White House
ever descended to such petty aud
even discreditable shifts to save money
as Mr.. Hayes. Gen. Garfield is not
a hypocrlte, and the general expecta-
tiou is that he will provide wine-cer-
tainly at state dinners. lie is fond of
good living himself and he is not the
sort of man to drink wine at other
peoples tables and then refuse to set
it before them at his own table.

withstanding it is the most expen-
sive and useless luxury he is bound
to have it as long as he can man
age to pay for it, even if he has to
stint himself in the necessaries OF
life.
Another drawback is that SO
many women and children do no.
thing. It is often the case that in
a family of five or six persons the
head OF the family is the only one
that works; sometimes the wife
and children make something in
hoeing and picking cotton, but for
the rest of the year they are abso'
lutely idle.
Yet, with all his faults, the negro
is good lahorer-in the absence
of a better.

The Nes,otISEn and Siggardli-
ness OF the Retiring 5oreSl-
dent.

AS the end of Of MIR. Hayess ad-
mipistratiou approaches it siuks lower
in public estimation. Even those
who have hitherto attempted to de-
fend it at last give up the attempt,
and confess that it has fallen to al
most as low plane as Grants. The
Presidents appointment of Stanley
Matthews, his kinsman, to place on
The Supreme bench for which he
would not have been thought Of ex-
cept for their relationship, is uuiver
sally considered about as bad as any
thing which Grant was guilty Of Nor
is this an isolated case of such favori-
tism. Repeated instances have oc.
Cured where army officers have been
promoted over the heads of scores
Of men their superlors in training
and experience, solely because of their
relation to or intimacy with the
Hayes family. One case of this sort
which recently occurred is especially
fragrant. It has just leaked out that
after Gen. Hancock's defeat last No.
veuber he wrote letter to Mr.
Hayes: in which he made personal
request that he would grant to
friend of his (Col. MitchelD who has
been long associated with him in war
and peace and is now a member Of his
staff, the appointment of assistant-in.
spector- general, for which he vas
every way qualified by length and
fidelity of service. Gen. Hancock, iu
his letter, modestly referred to the
fact that the fortunes Of political war
had forbidden him an opportunity
to recognize Col. MitchclPs merits,
adding that be had no complaint to
make for himself, but would consider
it a great favor if Mr.. Hayes could
grant this, his sole request. It was
Of 20 avail, however. A Capt Breck,
enrldge, one of the Junior captains in
the service, had married a niece of
Mrs. Hayes, aud when Mr.. Hayes be-
came President he found his reward.
He was first jumped over the heads of
a dozen senior captains to the charge
of the artillery at the Washington Ar
senal, which is one of the suggest
positions in the army, and not long
ago he was appointed as; 'ut inspec-
tor general, with the rank and pay
of major, though to reach this place
he had to be lifted over forty officers
Of higher rank, each Of whom was
better entitled to the place.
No President whom We have ever
had-uot even Grant with all his
favoritism-has done uore to de.
moralize the army than Mr.. Hayes.
Coming into Office with loud pro-
fessious on the subject of temperance,
he has become notorious for the whole
sale manner in which he has over
ruled the verdicts of courts. martial
dlsmissing and suspendiDg officers for
drunkenness. Some of these cases
have been as bad as any on record, and

A SDaG Between Bntier and
e,OnAling.

In the Senate the 7th instant Sen
ator Butler, of South Carolina, spoke
at considerable length upon the ALLEGED
census fra a..:ds in South Carolina, and
criticised severely tie speeches l:ade
by a certain stump orator (under-
stood to be Senator Conkliug) iD

tial campaign, in which that stump
orator iusulted and villi6ed the pco-
pie Of South Carolina, and accused
them Of a conspiracy to fraudulently
increase the census enumeration IN Vi
der to obtain greater political power.
The falsity aud bascncss of the accusa-
ton, Senator Butler said, were shown
by the results of the recent re-enun-
Grafton under direction Of Gen. Wal
ker, who was Rcpulican, aud also a
gentleman.
At the conclusion of Senator But.
ler's remarks Scuator CouElIng said
he Inferred from the little he had
heard Of the gentleman's speech that
it Was designed as an attack upon HIM
self, and he had only to say that the
.vaporing of the Senator from South
Carolina gave him little concern. If
he had doue injustice to the people of
South Caroioa he would fud sea.
sonable occasion to correct it.
Senator Butler: The Senator has
said that the vaporiugs Of the Senator
from South Carolina are matters of 10
coucern to him. He will pardon me
for saying that the staggering lnso-
lence Of the Senator from New York
is of no cuncern to me.
Senator Conkling: I do not need
to have heard the Senator in order to
ascertain that he is person with
whom | do not chose to handy
epithets here or elsewhere, least of all
here, aad therefore I have nothing to
add to that which | have before

This We consider one of the most
important moves of the present age.
The conference unanimously agreed
that the favorable change Of public
sentiment in favor of abating this
great rational curse indicates the
good time comipg," and We desire
to put ourselves on record as willing
to cooperate in a grand crusade
against this great moral evil. The
committee will proceed at once to
inaugurate steps by which we hope
to drive the curse from our county

That We hail with joy the evidence,
iu the kind providence of God, that

hope, maturing for steady and de-
teruiucd opposition against the ,:attlc
in ardent spirits. Therefore
Resolred, That we are firmly con-
yipced that it is our duty, as it is our
privilege, now specially to use our
united influence in opposition to this
legallzed curse inflicted upon US, and
this entire commonwealth; and that
We will, in our intercourse with the
people, 10 private as we'll as in public,
as occasion may afford US opportunity,
use our influence TO awaken the peo-
pie to proper appreciation of the
wrongs inflicted upon society and up
on the Church by the indiscriminate
sale and use of intoxicating drinks !;
and that we will specially use cur
earnest eudeavors to awaken our
own people to their duty to them
selves, the Church and the State in
this regard.
ResoZved, That We cordially invite
the hearty cooperation of all Chris

pose of rldaing our country of this un.
mitigated curse aud furthermore,
that the said committee be clothed
with power to call such. a convent tion

such as to warrant them in so doing.
But furthermore, should the re.
sponse rot warrant the said committee
in calling county convention, look
ing to united and for the purpose of
indicating general line of action.

the colored people are no better of
than when first emancipated there
are some who by diligence and saw
ing have accumulated considerable
means. These exceptions prove
one thing very clearly, viz: that
the fact that the negro has not i'm
proved his financial condition is
owing to his own improvidence and
lack of thrift; they show that he
can do So. Very few of them ever
seem to attempt it or even to desire
it. Whether they get high wages
or low wages, whether they get one
fourth, one-third or one-half Of the
crop the result st the close of the
year is the same-0.
Another feature of the average
laborer is, that he wants to work
just as little as he can possibly get
along with. If he can make GER
tain amount-enough to get him
two or three square meals-that is
all he cares for; he won't work the
other half for a similar amount.
The time he doesn't work is so much
time saved. His idea on this sub
iect has been compared to the idea
some men have of a labor saving
