A HINT ON TEMPERANCE.

The evils which storing drink has
brought upon us are SO Tremendous,
and threaten. such overwhelming ruin
to the morals and the liberties of our
contry, that good men trimble in all
the land. Intemperance, like all other
mischief, has been .as the letting out
of waters. It was a trifiing nuisance
a number Of years back, every man
felt confident that he could with ease,
when he ,pleased turn the polluted
stream from his door, but, a flood is
now rolling over our fields and so
many men indulge who could be a
great benefit to their country and
fellow citizens if it was not for
that awful thirst for strong drink.
In some parts Of the land the
lower grounds are almost covered.
We hear their warning voices. The
trumpet notes of the patriot and the
christian are rolling through the
valleys and swelling to the tops of the
| mountains. They tell us the foun-
tains of the great deep are breaking,
they call for help of every man and
for ''the help of the Lord for the
heavens have gathered blackness, and
the thunders Of God proclaim that he
has watched upon our iniquity, and
poured his curse upon us, and that
he had opened the windows of his
wrath, and holds in the hollow Of
his hand ''the waters of a more awful
storm.
While some drink and laugh, and
drink again and the cyes begin to red
den and to reel, and the step to totter
/ and the tongue to grow thick others
are prostrated in all the disgusting
circumstances of brutal intoxication.
Listen to the shouts Of Iiot--the
oaths and blasphemy Look upon the
hideous pollutions, the contentious.
the babblings, the wounds and blood
which ELL this region of the shadow
of death.
Is the number Of drunkards the less
appalling because they are not mus
tered into vast reeling and roaring
crowd around one great reservoir of
grog, but cover ali the land, but like
the "frogs of Egypt, " have crawled
into every house, and polluted our
kitchens, our parlors, and our beds.
Are the habits Of drunkards the less
abomnable that they are not confined
to one place, but are exposed to the
pure eye of the sun everywhere? :?
That ten thousand places where their
God is found are crowded with
wretched worshippers? That every
hour of the night sees drunkards in
crowds stumbling out at damp and
smoky cellars, cropping their way in
fence corners, stretched out in piles of
living filth, spurned at by every pass
| ing fool, there furious in quarrels and
bloodshed, there more brutal in a
buse of wife and children.
In one word, is drunkenness fraught
with any the less ruin to the body
and the soul because we see it at the
court house, at the place Of election,
| in the road, along the streets in our
private rooms that it is a familiar
acquaintance, so familiar that even
moral men, yea, religious men can
not only look upon drunkard with
out laughing at his staggering steps
l his bloated face, his stupid speech and
all the other melancholy circumstan-
ces, which exhibits man in this, his
most dapraded state x

DEADLOCK BROKEN.
THE COURTS DECISION m THE CITY
MAMDAMUS CASE.
Louis S. Clayton Declared Elected CITY
CIerk-The Blank Ballot
Does Not Count.

The Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
county. Judges Reyell and Thomas, 10.
day decided that blank ballot is an
ineffective weapon to prevent elections
and, for this reason, that Louis >. Clay
ton was duly elected city clerk at the
meeting of the Council on July 20.
This decision is of unusual importance
TO Annapolitans. as il applies to the cases
of all the Democratic nominees for the
municipal offices who were voted upon
on that date. The wheels Of the city
government are at last unlocked and
Alderman Martin is forced to succumb
10 defeat in his persistent struggle to
break the stale Of nominees agreed upon
by his four Democratic colleagues.
Alderman Martin made hard fight
however, in support OF the position taken
by him, from which. 1t seemed that moth
ING less than the mandate OF the Court
could shake him. In its verbal opinion,
the Court decides me case upon the
ground that a blank ballot is Of no effect
whatever in the voting. being no express
sion of choice of him who cast il and
therefore, that il cannot operate 10 nulllfy
the action OF those who cast legal ballots
In Clayton's case, he received four
votes against three for Robinson, his
Republican opponent. and there was one
blank ballot cast. In such a state Of
case as this, the Court says, the great
weight Of authority in this country and
England is that the blank ballot is to be
entirely desregarded and the choice Of
the electoral body is to be determined by
a majority Of the votes legally cast.
In regard to the question raised by the
city that the petitioner had not bonded
within the required ten days after the day
he claims to have been elected on July
20, the Court decides that the ity
Council, by sustaining the appeal from
the Mayor ruling on August I9, gave
the first legal notice that the petitioner
had been elected and that the ten days
were properly counted from August I9.
On account Of the anomalous position
taken by him, City Counselor Riley is
both winner and loser by todays de-
cision, but if he always meets adversely
like he did today. he will soon get a
reputation as being a most cheerful loser.
After Judges Revell and Thomas had
delivered their verbal opinions, an order
was filed granting the petition for the
writ of mandamus as prayed by Mr.
Clayton, and directing that il be issued.
The other city officers who, by reason
Of today's decision, have practically been
declared elected, are : Jerry l.. Smith,
treasurer and collector; Howard B. Tay
lor. chief Of police; William S. Taylor,
street commissioner: Robert L. Strange,
market master.
