TEMPERANCE WOMEN IND ron
TICS.

4ALns
In the Woman's National Chris
tian Temperance Union Convention
at Washington last Saturday, Mrs.
MALLoY, Of Indiana, in a ringing
temperance speech, by way of illus
tratin8 the caUricIous action Of the
political parties on the temperance
question, related an anecdote about
a celebrated character, a Captain o!
a schooner OF the Ohio River, who
was a noted sinner. This Captain
got his schooner on a sandbar at
Cairo: and sent word to the Chris
tlan ladies Of the town that he was
uuGer conviction for sin, and desired
them TO come to his schooner and
have a prayer meeting for his bene-
fit. "Ihe ladies' said Mrs. NAL
10y, "Hocked to the Captains old
hulk in large numbers, and upon ar
irving there were requested to 20
att, They found the Capt ain appar-
emily very pen.tent. The weight Of
the ladies aided materially in float
ing the schooner off the sandbar, and
as soon as the Captain found that he
was all right again ne called out to
them to get of the boat; that the
prayer meeting would be postponed
until the next trip" This, Mrs.
MALLoY said, reminded her of the
two great political parties, As soon
as one Of them got in g close corner
they always called on the women to
hold a prayer meeting aud help
them out, but as coon ss assistance
was rendered they would cry out,
wait till thenext trip Tor the prayer
meeting 1--WE won't wait any lon
ger for either party, said Mrs. NAL.
10y; 1--WE will organize a third par
ty and bury the two old rotten par.
ties beyond Teaurrection.''

HE announcement that an au-
thorlzed biography of General GAR
NIELD will be published under the
direction of his widow has probably
thrown a damper on more than one
author and publisher who expected
to make a fortune out of the same
subject. But the field is still a
broad one. After the death of Pres.
ident LINCOLN many books about
him sold well, notwithstanding the
number OF biographies that had pre-
viously been issued. Tie late DR.. j.

AFTER reaching a deadlock on tne
Lynchburg postoficeship the United
States Senate by The gracious per-
mission of sweet WILLIAM Malone
adjourned last Saturday ne die
without action in the case. Since
then President ARTHUR has carried
out the Republican programme in
Virginia, by removing WILSON and
appointing STRATHAM to the posi-
ton. AS this result was in plain
from tbs beginning, as we'll as
the purpose of the Administration to
turn the Federal patronage in Vir-
gInia over to MALONE, we fail to see
in this deadlock in the Senate my
thing but a great ado about moth
ing.

Mn. MAsHALL jewell, Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, went to
Washington last week TO confer with
Gen. MALONE aud President ARrHuR con-
corning the contest in Virginia.
The result Of Mir. JEWELS mission was
an agreement On his part to furnish the
necessary money to pay the pcIl tax of ne
gro voters, say some forty or fifty thous
and dollars. The sum is to be raised bv
subscriptions aud assessments IN the great
cities of the North, that are most interest.
cd in stamping out every form of propos-
ed, actual, OF Incipient reputation.
Every merchant, every banker, and ey-
cry business man has q direct and positjve
interest in preserving credit on the best
footing at the South, aud 10 every other
part of the Union. The rotations of trade
are row in good condition, and are prom
isiDg Tor the future. The Southern States
are recovering from a lopg prostration,
and in proportion as prosperity is adyaac-
ed, they VIII furnish valuable markets for
Northern predictions.
Virginia has improved materially in the
last two years, although the regulators
have by false reports attempted 10 mislead
the public rs 10 the actual ability Of the
State 90 pay its debt. The Democrats, or
lunders, propose TO pay tbis debt, &C.
knowledgcd by MAHoNR in d speech two
years ago 10 be soms thirty.two millions,
with a reduction on the interest to three
per ceat. The crditors are willing to &C
cept that arrangement.
Now, MAHoNE and his c~onfede-atls in
sist that thirieel millions of the admitted
debt shall be repUdIoted out and out.
They absolutely reject any claim for in
.erest during TIE reba lli9n or the period of
reconstruction. They Do not guarantee
any payment Of the lcuaIgdc- of the con
coded debt, nor even insure paymcn' of
the i%nteres, thereon, and they exclude the
so-caliod interest coupons from payment
Of State taxcs, which would necessarily
give them a market value.
Tuis ia The plain issue between the two
parties in Virginia, and il is the only one
that has encr0ssed attention duripg the
canvass All thc. side shows have long
ago disappeared, and ore only used for
Northern consumption 90 throw dust in
the eyes ot the people.

TuR Chicago Inter Ocean says that a
reckless female sdvonturer in New York has
revived the charge that the son of DE-. Bliss
communicated certain inside information TO
stock spectators ia New York concerning
the president, and that DR.. Bliss was privy
to this scheme. 1t is also said that Jay
Gould was possessed of tho cipher used in
telegraphing and proaied by the information.
This 10, no doubt, the desperate attempt of a
reckless woman TO link her name with per.
sons of prominence, and deserves no cons
sideration until IL shall come accompanied
by proof. In response TO the question:
"Had any of the surgeons connected with
the case either direct or remote interest in
any stock speculation which could be
affected by the presidents condition or re-
port concerning III" DR.. Bliss says; Il re-
gard the'ques.ion as an insult to the profess
sional and social integrity of the gentlemen
concerned in the treatment Of the case.
Their individual social and professional
standing is sufficient answer TO the implied
insult"
