Last Evenings Experience Meeting at the
Baptist Church.
About three hundred persons-nearly
twice as many as on the previous Saturday
assembled in the First Baptist church: last
evening to take part in the eleventh tenn
persnce meeting of the present series. The
meeting, like its predecessor of last Satur-
day, was designed as 3 general experience
meeting, devoted to large number of short
speeches from gentlemen who had signed
the pledge at either the present series OF
meetings or az some other.
The exercises of the evening were opened
with prayer by Rev. Mr. Shot, pastor of the
church. after which the hymn: Rescue the
Pertaining" was sung, and the usual collec-
ton for the defrayiug of incidental expenses
taken up.
Rev. Mr.. Shott then read selection from
Galatians ILL, beginning at the thirseen.h
verse, commenting upon it as he proceeded.
Proceeding to talk of the temperance
work, the reverend gentleman said
it was of little avail to sign q
Murphy pledge. without the signer had faith

HowllnG for the Suppression of Gambling
In One Breath, and Alleging None is
Going On In the Next.
That Inteligencer is a queer paper"
said leading merchant yesterday. Some
times / am at loss to know what it really
means. Now, take this mornings issue; it
is one Of the most inconsistent productions
in the newspaper line l ever laid eyes on.
Here they are, tearing their hair in wild
frenzy because Captain Smith doesn't raid
the gamblers, and in the next breathe they
recite how there is not solitary game run
ming in the town, that some of the sporting
men have gone to Pittsburgh and elsewhere,
and that the whole industry is psrslyzed.
It's kind offunny, when fellow thinks over
It little
The reporter thought it was little ridic-
ulous, and the merchant went bis way.

FROM CAPT. SMITH NEIGHBoRs AND FRIENDS.
To he EiiiOr efLRe Register.
Please allow US space in your columns to
ay, in regard to Porter Smith, whom the
citizens oil Wheeling made their choice on
he 22d day Of January last, that we believe
as City Sergeant be will fulGll his duty,
and give the citizens satisfaction. We have
known him for the last twenty years, and
he has always been straightforward man,
and we think him capable of attending to
bis duties without allowing the editor of the
Intelhgencer or the Mayor Of the city to
run him, as he is a man Of principle The
citizens of Wheeling, will be satisfied that
he understands his business, if he is given
a chance to do so.
Now, Mr.. Editor, all that has been circu.
lated about Mr.. Smith will not amount to
much. is the estimation of his many friends
in this city. We think, first, it is little
party spleen let loose. The Republican candi-
date was defeated. We hope Mr.. Smith
will be given chance and, as he has al
ways been honest and fair in his business
through life, we trust this will be his motto
during bis term of office.

not in earnest in closing the gambling
houses. He is the best Mayor, so far,
that Louisville has had for many
year. Il is certainly true that
gambling is not confined 10 the gambling
bells or even the club-rooms, but is indulged
in BY many of Louisville's best citizens in
their own homes. The young ladies also
take hand, and several Louisville girls
play poker and win all the money in sight.
Summer before last the good people at the
White Sulphur Springs were shocked be-

He is hard working man, strictly honest

A gentleman connected with the legal
profession yesterday called reporters at

abroad as doing the city great harm from q
business point Of view. People outside OF
the city, who cannot form any accurate idea
of the situation, naturally conclude the Peo-

Wheeling is a good nlaee to steer clear OF.
