@4SAAA sAAO A1OP0NAeStA4 EeAASyS F~~ from the Democratic party, while 50 per
 cent of the Greenback vote cast was for the amendment I claim that this same 80 per
 cent. will now be cast solid for the Repubh- can ticket; that the large share of prohibition
 Democrats and Greenbackers who will vote
 for prohibition this time will more than off, set the disafected license Republicans,
 and that whenever thousands of
 license men are compelled to choose key, they will do as Douglass did in 1861. when he said he would support the cornfields of Illinois in preference to the rice. fields of Georgia and will give their votes solid for prohibition. I claim also that many Republicans will be held to the ticket by party interests in view of ths approach ing Presidential election.'
 A notice appeared in recent issue of the London Times inviting the holders of "Cen- federate States of America sterling and dol lar bonds" to deposit them with the National Safe Deposit company, who will issue certifi- cates in exchange. The scheme is supported by number of gentlemen, of whom the fol- lowing have consented to act as trustees Lord Penzance, the Hon. T. c. Bruce M. P: Mr- J. E. Gorst, Q. O., M. F.; MT. J. B. Martin, and Mir. Robert Stewart A body of bondholders have agreed to find e1O,OO for necessary expenses under certain conditions The Times says ed1torialIy: 'sWe understand that this effort is not being made without some preliminary understanding having been arrived at between the representatives of the larger bondholders on the one side and in- huentisl representatives of the southern States of America on the other. With the recent proceedings of Virginia and Louisiana before us it is possible to be oversanguine as to the result, built is clear that those interest ed can do themselves no harm by giving their support to the gentlemen above named. There is, moreover, no doubt that the feeling in favor of restoring their credit is stronger in the southern States than it was some time ago.'
 The Salvation Army and it's leader, Gen eral Booth, are not gaining in reputation in England. The landlords who sublet to him the Eagle Tavern for seventeen years for the sum of $100, ,OO0 were bound by certain cove nants which General Booth agreed to keep One of these was that the tavern should be used as public house, that the licenses for the sale of Intoxicating liquors should be dnly renewed, and that nothing should be done to furnish a reasonable ground for with drawing the licenses. One action against bim was dismissed upon his affidavit that he was negotiating with a firm of brewers to take the tavern of his hands, having ascertained that he could not conduct it as temperance house. The moment the injunction was dis missed, however, he broke of his negotia- tions with the brewers, retaining the tavern in his own hands as temperance hotel and hence the suit which has just resulted disas- trously to him and his army. The judgment was that he had forfeited his lease and lost his $1o0, ,Oo0, and the court in rendering it said: ''The defendant has been wrong from first to last. He took the lease intending from the first to evade one of it's terms. He solemnly engaged to keep the Eagle Tavern as public house and he must have known what ths sd6stantsal and se-S Ba&aEirE a theSS. words was. He has tried to evade his obliea- tion by an unsuccessful legal quibble. It was not honest"
