Mr.. lnge, chairman of Temperance Commit
zee, presented petition from So various per-
sons not voters, against the repeal Of the law.
Dir. lnge also presented petition from
the ladies OF luka, praying that the law be
not repealed.
Mr., Inge, in behalf Of fl eight legal
voters and the most unanimous voice Of the
noble ladies of Iuka, appealed to the House,
and asked that it will not repetl this law 1t
is true, he said, the opposite petition has about
ninety names on it, but about thirty of those
names are not legal voters in Iuka, as is rep
resented by the citizens OF that place. This,
he said, leaves the ceutending forces, exclud-
ing the ladies, about equal. 1t must not be
assumed that the ladies have no interest
in the matter. They are the very be-
ings upon whom -the curse of intemper-
ance falls with all its force and power.
They are the greatest sufferers from its
blighting effects. 1t is their homes that
are desolsted, their hearts that are crushed
Ind their husbands and sons that are ruined
And from the depths of the hears of the pure
women of Iuka comes the appeal to this intel
ligent body of men, that you will regard their
prayer and not repeal tue law. He said be
could not believe their aPpeafwould be in vain.
He cannot believe that this intelligent assem-
bly, would turn deaf ear to their waiting cry
for protection.
