The temperance meeting at tlio court liouso on Thursday evening ol Inst week 'was uot a Lritlmut success. Perhaps it would not bo overstepping tho bounds of iruth to say it was u decided (Hilure. llut to our miud the failure was not lees Con spicuous in the plan of the meeting than in its execution. We respectfully suggest to the Good Templars that the public run form an opinion of their society by observing tho conduct of its members. There is uot much advantage in telling liow useful such a society is, so long ns the benefits spoken of do not uppeur. " 15y their lruits ye shnll know them " is the best rule of judgment in such cases, a. id this rule an intelligent public will apply. Jut aside from its special rcfcrcuec to the society cf Good Tcmp'ars, we think the plan of the meeting was faulty iu this respect, that it sotfght to promote the cuusc of temperance merely by eloquent declamation against intemperance. The idea seemed to be, aud the lecturer him bell seemed fo encourage if, thet tho audi, nco were (o be interested, perhaps elec trified, by the vivid portrayal of the cruel tics practised by King Alcohol upon his unhappy victims; in confOfjucucc of which they might be ready to cry "Town with Alcohol," and at some future tine, in Homo yet undefined way, perhaps do some thing to carry that cry into effect. At the risk of being Charged with heresy by some zealous tcctotakr. wo venture to call iu questiou the utility of this mode ol procedure at the present time. However it may have been iu the past, we think it admits of serious question whether any damage would result to the cause of ton ytranvc, if the whole army of professional temperance lecturers should abandon that profession and devote their time and tal cuts to some other calling. This may seem a startling proposition, especially to those who get their living in that way ; but it is the duty of the press to advocate what is for the pnblia good, although it might cause a lit tic temporary iuconrcuicncc to individuals. It ecuis as though the public miud ought, by this time, to be sufficiently en lightened in regard to the conscucucea oi intemperance, the -'reugth of the drunk ard's appetite, the danger of tippling, aud Buch matter., as to be aide to do without a class of special lecturers in that depart ment. We therefore urge the inquiry up Good Templar arid' all such, whether a change of method is not dcsirnblj ? Wheth er the style of sensational oratory which has been employed in conducting " the ause of temperance " ought not to be laid aside, and some citsklc acthii allowed to take its place '! None of the Arctic cxploiing expeditons of the year have added much, if anything, to our knowledge of tho geography of the Polar regions. Capt. Hall deserves great credit for the courage, energetic action und patience he displayed iu his adventures; but the interesting relics he brought back with him are the most valuable result of Lis toil aud suffering. Wo find iD the Ger man papers some statements, furnished by Dr. Bcifel himself, about tho late voyage in the Polar seas of the steamer Albert, which reached the northermost point of her voyage (S0 14' north latitude. 9 52' east " longitude) on the 20th of June last. Here the ice formed an impassible barrier, and after cruising in various directions for two months, and visiting iho western Coast of Spitzcnbcrg, Ara-jterdam Island, and other localaties, the object of the expedition wa abandoned, and the vessel began her home, ward voyage. Three other vessel?, belong, ing respectively to Englaud, Jforwayj and Russia, have also been engaged this year in exploring the Arctic regions. The Diana sailed from GUvg w in April last; bnt, though her party reached Nova Zembla in May, and Spitzcnbcrg in June, tbey were unable to pass tho 80th degree. Tho Nor wegian expedition was a small affair, con sisting of but a single sloop; but the cap tain pushed boldly into the Carian Sea, sailed aloBg the Siberian coast, reached the White Islands, and returned home after slaughtering great cumbers of walruses, seals, and bears. The Russian expedition sailed in August, with the intention of establishing direct communica. tion by sea between Norway and Siberia, but we have as yet bad no report from it. 'Tribune.

The Pittsburg Post quotes an article from the Maucli Chunk' Democrat, which" urges' the speedy assemblage of a convention to fix things. Rut the Pout don't see it yet. It says, by way of commentary j We don't see tho necessity of a conven tion 'n act as pall hearer for tho corpse of th! defunct candidate. Tho Dvmorriv like n burnt child, dreads the fire, and in advance denounces the ' respectable, but eminently worthless class of fossils who aro iMilvinized into life at each reinvention." They were in abundance iu Ilarrisburg du. ring the Democratic Convention, and all for Pucker. 'They were generally recom-. mended to the inoro iucxperiencd and youthful delegates as war horses. They knew all about it, their sagacity and politi cal knowledge could uot bo neglected with safety. One war horse pledged Luzerne for six thousand if the "Pride of tho Yulley" was nominated ; the Tenth Legion would double its majority, und Philadelphia was certaiu lor ten thousand It might be considered uiicharituble to say these men did not caro a fitnitirc whi ther the Lem??ratio party tri umphed or not, so they were brought "near the money baas of Packer. It is no torn fort to know they were disappointed, and that they neither understood the man nor tho necessities of the hour. They proved their utter incapacity to lead or advise, bnt whether the disastrous issue will be accept ed us a warning remains to be seen. Philadelphia & Kkik Railroad Frekiiits. The Pennsylvania railroad company has a fine chance to gain popular, ity or lose it. The largo Concerns which have embarked in the taniiiritr business along the Philadelphia & Erie railroad be tween Emporium and Warren have calcu. lated, it appears, on having their hemlock lumber carried to Philadelphia und Palti more at low rates, and aro complainiug tf their disappointment. The public ititercst will suffer if a change is uot made. The only way for the tanner to make money at present rates is to thin over the ground, that is to 'cut the trees down, peel tho bark off, and leave the logs lying on the ground to rot. They arc in cutnbrauccsjto the ground ; the husband man who undertakes to clear it would ra ther tako entirely fre.-h forest in hand which hs' can fell to suit himself. Settlers will not come into aciuutry whero t !i -3 lntid been thus snagged up," as it is termed. It is rendered desolate and uninviting to the view of visitors. Iu fact, it is soon converted into an impassable thicket, which prevents even an examination into the character of the soil aud minerals. Thus the great tanners located among us, may provo an injury instead of a benefit to the region. One or tho other of two alternatives seems impending. Either our most ser viceable timber will be suffered to decay where it is eut a loss to rnstetii consuin crs of millions of excellent flooring, siding and ceiling ; or else alontr the entire region west of St. Marys the old project will be re vived of driving it in the log down the Al leflhcny waters. A boom will be built be low the mouth of the Clarion, or a abort distance above Pittsburgh. The stock will bo sawed up there, mid tho country where it is grown will lose the benefit ivhich it ought to derive from its manufac ture. A region will remain undeveloped which ought to bring the railroad the most lucrative important way business it cau ex pect. Surely it is the interest of the Phil, adelphia & Eiio railway to foster and uot to discourage the enterprise and industry of Cameron, Elk, M'Kcau ami Warren. Weundcrstand that a memorial to tho Pennsylvania railroad company on this sub ject is in circulation for signature. The petitioners ask only for a rate of one aud a half cents a mile per ton on dressed lum ber carried at tho risk if the freighter, and this but for two years, or until the leputa tion of western hemlock llooring is estab. lished in the Philadelphia and JSaltimore markets. They aro eoufideut tLeu of being uble to pay move. We cannot understand why, at least during the seasou wheu the lake is frozen. the railroad should charge a higher rate from Sheffield to Philadelphia tha.i seven dollars per ton.
