pie to make their own laws and that no
other power has right to make laws for
them. You remember where we stood
100 years back. You remember in
the Declaration of Independence we
asserted the right of men to govern
themselves. That is the great foundation
ideal Of America, and is now being applied
in Ireland's cause, to which you are to
give your sympathy and support-the

abolish laws that are inimical to his well

PROHIBITION IN NEW YORK.

euse-A Large N--.nber of Dele.
g:stes Present.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, September s.-The
State Prohibition Convention met in the
Alhambra Rink to-day, and between 800
and 400 delegates were assembled. Horace
Waters of New York led the meeting.
Delegate Shipman of the same city be-
walled the apathy of ministers toward the
prohibition movement. "They don't be-
have not got their eyes open yet. We
must pray for them increasingly. They
need the light more than any other class
Of men. As for me, will stand by the
home 1 love, will stand by the Bible /
love, and 1 will stand by the flag love
until the motto of prohibition is penciled
in shining charseteie On the blue vault of
heaver.'
Another delegate said that the Empire
State was full of steDchee, and that every
city was a Sodom or 0omorrdh. "Pro-
hibition alone can save it," ne dc 'ared
"and when we are successful, as we must
be, this continent will see the greatest day
that has ever been" K. w. Bruce of
Madison county, in an address advocating
prohibition, created sensation by vio-
lently arraignirg the Church and the min
istry. He had scarcely done speaking
when a delegate sprsng to his feet and
charged Mr.. Bruce with unjustly assailing
the holiest institutions on earth. "The
Church was the stronghold of abolition
ism," he said. at is not" answered a
| chorus of voices. "Let him speak, +"
roared delegate, indignant at the inter
ruption; "the Church has been maligned
and the ministry, too; let them, at least,
have fair hearing" The discussion was
finally closed by the chairman calling for
a hymn. Two thousand Iersons were in
attendance at this time.
til O'Clock, when Frederick F. Wheeler
| of Albany called the convention proper to
| order, there was scarcely standing room in
the big rink. A. A. Hopkins of Rochester
| was made temporary chairman. Prof.
| Hopkins delivered an eloquent address,
| occupying more than an hour. He con-
| graduated those present on the growth
and strength of the prohibition move
ment and because the issues were so
| clearly drawn. He declared that the
| Democratic party stood behind the liquor
traffic, and srraigned the Republican party
mercilessly He said the rum party would
| go down as surely as the slave party went
down. At the conclusion of Prof. Hop
kins's speech Mr.. Wheeler of the State
Committee read a telegram addressed to an
Ohio Prohibitionist, pledging the party
here to carry New York if their brethren
there would carry Ohio. Standing com
mittees on credentials, order of business
finance, resolutions and permanent organ
ization were then appointed, and the con
vention took recess.
The Rev. II. G. Wood of Wyoming
opened the afternoon session of the Stat
Prohibition convention with prayer. Th,
Committee on Credentials reported, and ,
permanent organization was affected.
State committee, to consist of one membe
from each county, was ordered formed
The convention then adjourned until to
| morrow.

The Chattanooga Times is fearless and
frank in it's denunciation of the murder
committed there by mob of .lynchers on
Sunday night last, and it confesses to
sense of shame that the constituted au-
thorities were so weak, and that the people
were 80 careless of the city's good name,
as to permit squad OF irresponsible roughs
and transient denizsns to batter in the
jail at their leisure and deliberately exc
cute mob justice on a prisoner it was the
duty of the city, county and State
to protect with all their powers, and who
would no doubt have been dealt with &C
cording to law for his crime. The Time
also condemns the conduct of the ire
sponsible negroes who intensified the con.
Aict by a defense of a brutal and cowsrdly
murderer, and, who, it is feared, were sue
cessful in killing two citizens. But Chat
tanooga can make amends for this crim
by arresting and Furnishing all engaged il
the peTpetIation of it. In this way, an,
this way only, it can vindicate its goo
name, and justify belief in its good con
duct in the future.

THE West Tennessee Wing has thrown
out feeler for the Governorship, and tells
its readers that "the rival leaderships in
the [Democrsticl party, or rather rival con-
testants for leadership, are concentrating
their respective forces, the one on the
Hon. Albert T. McNeal of Bolivar, and
the other on Gen. Dibreli of East Tennes-
see. Both Of these gentlemen are stronger
than the faction championing their
candidacy, but it is talked by
quiet men that the antagonism oi
factions, now bitter and likely to
grow more SO, will prevent the nomina-
ton OF either. Col. Bob Looney's friends
urge him as peace-maker, but others say
that he is too intimately connected with
one of the antagonistic factions to serve al
q compromise. Other good men are beinl
quietly mentioned, among them the pres
ent Commissioner of Agriculture, Stats
tics, Mines and immigration, the Hon
Andrew jackson McWhirter. The clas
presenting his name is never boisterous il
politics, but very powerful when thor
oughly in earnest" All Of which seems u
us to be rather premature. Bate has six
teen months to serve yet.

QUITE as signifcant,as any thing that Mr..
Parnell has uttered is the speech of D..
Walsh, the new Roman Catholic Arch
bishop of Dublin. He said among other
good things that he had deep and settled
conviction that the only remedy for the
grievances which Ireland had long labored
with partial success, to remove, was the
restoration of the rights of which she had
been deprived century ago by means st
shameful as any that the records Of ma
tional infamy could disclose. He rejoices
with them that the fsg which fell from
the hands OF the dying O'Connell hat
again been boldly upl tied, and he prayed
that it would never be refurled until tht
Irish Parliament was restored.

has not only expressed himself strongly
in favor of civil service reform, but has

CHATTANooaA, TENN, September s.-The
talk of a few foolish negroes alarmed some
people last night, and the two military
companies met in their respective armo-
ries and armed themselves in readiness to
obey the orders of the sheriff. They were
not called upon. The negroes are very
orderly and the story that they intended

vice of their more intelligent representa-.

leave their homes after dark. The leaders
of the mob Sunday night will be arrested
