Ties coming here as present to the Grand Army.
Mrs L. NJ. N. Stevens said that she knew on
good authority that liquor was coming to the Grand
Army If they would receive 1t.
Rev f. t. Bayley thought there was danger Of
going beyond the limits of the law and suffering
from a reactionary influence.
Dr. Bashford thought that II the officers of the
Grand army ac0uJd cLdinl liquors seized as being
Intended for the private stse of the uisitors he
should favor returning the liquor and not standing
on legal technicality.
Reu. DR.. WdrreS asked II the Grand army acas

Alleged latClessneSs at Minneapolis On Grand
Army men and the presence of a large cr0lrd OF

Qfthe meeting.
If it was only ''roughs and lawless persons
against whom the speeches of the meeting
were directed, how did DR.. Warren happen to
ask ''if the Grand Army was collection of
men against whom such course of action
was necessary" The majority, perhaps,
of the ladies and gentlemen who took part in
the meeting had no fear of the members of
the Grand Army, but that some did and ex-
pressed it too very plainly we think cannot
be successfully denied

A very silly, not to say insulting, ado was made
In some quarters last week because the friends of
temperance in Portland expressed some solicitude
lest the peace of the city seould be broken by the
roughs and lawleSs persons who habituRlly ac-
company great gatherings of people of whatever
were directed against the members of the Grand
Army Itself, as Il they were persons that could
not be trusted to behave themselves on such au
occasion.-Christian Mirror.
We subioin the PRESS report, which we
have every reason to believe was a faithful
one and which was certainly at the time not
complained of as incorrect, of the meeting of
the Law and Order League, on Friday even
ing preceding the Encampment week. and
leave it for the public to judge whether any
thing was said there which would lead the
public to fear that members of the Grand
Army could not be trusted to behave them
selves on such an occasion.
meeting was held in Reception Hall last even
fng to take action in regard TO the enforcement of
the prohibitory law during the week of the Ma
tional encamWnent The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Geo. l.. Kimbail. Prayer was offer
ed by Rev. c. j. Clark. Mr.. Kimball said that the
officers Of the Grand Army assured him of their
willingness and desire to see the liquor law en-
forced.
Rev DR.. Warren asked for information as to the
object OF the meeting. Rev. Dr. Bashford sug-
gested that those present might make it their duty
to see the officers of the Grand Army and city and
aid them In any way practicable
Gen. Neal Dow explained the law by which

The Suns "Jeffersonian Democrat" thinks
that civil service reform bids fair to become
a living issue in the future politics of the
country, but he is somewhat wanting in
candor when he assumes that the Democrat
ic party defined its position on this subject
when it declared a preference for 'shonest

MASSACHUSETTS STEPS IN THE RIGHT d.
RECTIoN.

The act concerning impure publications.
recently passed by the legislature Of this
State, has received the governors signature
and become a law. 1t prohibits distinctly the
exhibition, as well as the sale, of corrupt
publications of all sorts, and its enforcement
will clean out the hitherto offensive windows
OF periodical storet and similar places effec-
tually. This enforcement can be secured
easily if decent people, especially all who
have the care of the young, will insist upon
it. 1t gives the Society for the Suppression
of Vice powerful lift in its noble work, but
no society can do all which needs to be done
unless the community sustain it. The pub
fishers and sellers of corrupt papers have a
large constituency behind them and great pc
cuniary resources, so that struggle over the
execution Of this law is to be expected But
If respectable people will do their part, the
issue cannot be uncertain.

The acquittal of Adolphe Spreckles, the
sssailant of M. Fl. De Young, of the San
Francisco Chronicle, is another blot on Cali
fornia justice, which was pretty well bespat-
tered before The newspaper paragraph
which gave rise to the assault contained moth
ing but legitimate criticism, and the sympa-
thy of the general public appears to have
been with De Young. The verdict is believed
10 have been brought about by the lavish use
Of money. The day is not far distant, unless
such miscarriages of justice as this are pre-
vented, when private vengeance will usurp
the functions of the courts of the Golden
State

General Black, the commissioner of pen
sions. though apparently in vigorous health
and able to attend to his professional bust
ness up to last spring, as well as to spare
some time and energy for politics, has been
for some time, and is now, drawing PEN
sion Of one hundred dollars month on the
representation that he is physical wreck, .
and incapable of any effort" This is more
than twice the sum paid veteran who lost
an arm or leg in the service, and the New
York Tribune says the commissioner is the
only pensioner who draws one hundred dol
lars month.

The Quincy GID Herald, Democratic or
gan, is very much wrought up by report
which.has come to its ears, that the baggage
Of the Grand Army veterans was searched in
this city last week for contraband liquor, and
declares that the next annual encampment
Of the G. A. R. will be held upon the soil
Of a straight out-and-out Democratic COM
monwealth. where they will be treated with
Sthecnstomary courtesies of all civilized ma
tons and municipalities This burning
stain, it goes ON to say, will hang over
Maine for centuries, and should never be
wiped out of the memory of the lovers of
freedom" The Quincy Herald evidently
needs sedative.

Secretary Manning has assigned Kellar to

Whenever the President appoints a Moss

What is the administration doing? June 1

came not, and July / was the predicted date
July is here without the broom. The only

The appointment of Mr.. Darius Fl. Ingra-
ham as consul at Cadiz win probably give as
general satisfaction as the appointment of
any Democrat could. He is thoroughly COM
petent to discharge the duties of che office,

its citizens will be carefully attended to.

In a list of new industrial enterprises in
the South the New Orleans Times-D Democrat
mentions "a contract for new jail at Sun
flower, North Carolina" and adds that "a
glance over the list will likewise disclose a
hospital and a lunatic asylum necessary to
the care OF that small fraction of our people
who do not yet appreciate the glorious march
of the New South toward its manifest desti-
ny as the leading industrial section of the
United States" This is decidedly novel
method of coercion.

Mr.. Hedden, the new collector at New

but nevertheless all that it implies concern

II Mr.. Parnell has bound himself and his

that he has kept himself from entangling ALI

though he has received SO great a price as
the abandonment Of coercion, he has made a
blunder But we do not believe he has.

n. Ualstead devotes q column

N. Halstead devotes a column of
the Cincinnati, Commercial of Mon
day, to apologies and explanations
of the very spicy letter that has
been unearthed against him. The
burthen of his explanation is that
people said good many things in
the heat Of our civil conflict for
which they should not now be held
accountable. This is very true,
and would be accepted were it not
that he is ever'astingly stirring up
the bones of dead past to accom-
plish Partisan and sectional aims.
It seems to us, IN the way of illus
tration, that Jacob Thompson was
convicted of importing smallpox
and scheme to burn Northern cit
les. on less evidence than convicts
Ha!stead Of plotting tho death of
Lincoln. the disgrace of Grant or
Sherman, or, woful to relate, the
abandonment Of the "niggei" to an
eternity of slavery. The produc-
ton Of this letter should teach the
able editor to show the charity to
others he now claims for his own
mistakes.

Cur correspondents from differ
ent localities, no doubt mean we'll
enough, but they must remember
that the personal habi is of their
neighbors is not fit matter for pub
iicaiion. They can gossip all they
please among themselves. in their
cw; circles, but such stuff is not a
matter for the prints, and the wri
ters themselves would not allow us
to aiix their names to what they
sead US. 1t is u good rule for
correspondent to observe. Never
write anything for the paper you
are afraid or ashamed to stand UP
to. The editor generally has rack
ct enough of his own making, with
out taking on himself the personal
