Governor Hoyt Friday of last week t p- pointed Colonel Staulcy Woodward to the vacaucy on tho LOzeino County Bench, caused by tho resigintion of Judgo Harding and tho promotion of Judge Rice to tho Pres ident Judgeship.

Tho meeting is to be composed of delegate from eaeh county in the district, based ou ft representation of two delegate Precisely oft time,' tho speaker of lh6 ope ning mado hisappcarnco,Hnd services wero opened by the singing of a familiar hymn, followed by u prayer otTercd by Mr. Hago man, when Rov. Mr. Seyfrit aroso to inlro- uco the speaker. Ho evinced pleasure in having tho oportunlty of Introducing to the nudienco Rot. Mr. Hart, chaplain of tho Independent Order of Good Templars. Tho lecture was apparently well studied nd tho speaker mado his remarks forcibly and effectively. His gestures wero'graccful nd suited to tho wcrds. His first remarks wero brief allusions to tho sayings of his first lecture delivered hero, and after having poken briefly on them, tho sjwalicr went on to say that tho liquor trofic, which ho In tended to denounce robiidly, was responsi ble for all intemperance. And, said tho speaker, wo arpjo blame, wo must lay tho xe to tho root of the trco and discontinue the selling of liquor. Tho liquor traffic is doing mora to hinder tho advancement ot civilization, is doing moro to undermine our frco institutions than all other evils com bined. The speaker then spoko of tho prime necessity of discontinuing this hellish traf fic, and of tho nbsurd remarks ofsomowho say that it can never bo accomplished. Said the speaker : Somo peoplo say you can't wipo out fife liquor business. Thoy have no faith. They believe that it is imssiblc to abolish it and yet they will agree that It should bo. I will namo, said tho speaker, somo of tho objections of these peoplo. In the first plice they tell us that tho liquor traffic represents an enormous amount of capital, and that this money is power. It will thwart us on every hand. It will bo used to corrupt our courts, to bribo our leg islatures. Wo admit that this money is jiower, and wo cannot closo our eyes to the fact. But there is a power greater thnft money. Wo bcliofo in God, and ho is on our side. God is always on tho side of right. Arc wo ta sit dowu and refrain flght- ng sin just because it commands capital,und say wo can't conquor evil? Tho liquor traffic not alono commands money,- every iniquity Is full of money. Liquor commands more money than any other iniquity ;and it is very true that the dollar is mighty j but there is only mjo Almighty and ho is with usi Right will always prevail. Truth crushed to earth will rise acciu sho shall arise from the dust and shall array herself in r6bcs ot fiual victory. Go forward in this work arid .'t will collapse as a bubble, be, causo God is on uur side. Thev tell us that tho abolition of tho liquor traffic would bo unconstitutional. They say this is a free country; Man's privileges daro not bo abridged.' Evtry hian has a right to do ns ho pleases. Legislators hK?o no right to abolish it, because it is a business. Wo ad init that this traffic is a business, a business that is a disgrace to our State, a dishonor to our country, a business that is breaking women's hearts and 5Kising universal mis- cry and woe. The speaker considered the liquor business entirely dilfercnt from any other businsss, and illustrated tho fact by comparisons. Ho referred to the business of horse stealing as one' that, unlike tho liquor business is uucoiistitutioRal. Said tho speaker: tho business of horso stealing is stopped, and it isjustnbhouorableas selling liquor. Horse stealing docs not produco tho ono thousandth part of degradation that liquor selling docs. Ono evil has license and tho 0th6'r has not. Who docs tho worse he who steals your horso or Il6 Who steals your happiness? To further show the con trast between this business and ethers ho re ferred to tho merchant. Continuing, tho speaker said : To open a store, must you get twelva signatures of citizens in your town to present to court? No. No signatures aro required for other businesses. Mercli ants do uot stop selling on election days while liquor sellers do. A man sends his boy to storo tor "lasses," etc The propria- .tor says "Sonny, what wilt you havo?' "Pieiso, sir," says tho boy, "mamma, sent mo for a qu"art of lasses." Docs tho proprie tor say : "Oh,-1 can't givo it to you. You aro too young. You must wait until you aro twcnty-ono years old, and then I can tell tu you." No. Tho boy gets it without any trouble. It is different with tho liquor seller. Ho must not sell to you" before you aro twenty one. Not until you havo reached your majority. Th'0 speaker then dwelt rather lengthily upon tho subject of the constitutionality of tho abolition of the liquor traffic. Tho speaker held (hat if Ice islators had the right to specify tho timo oi selling, etc, they also had the right to wiw it out altogether. Upon this particular point au suiu ; auu uvgi&iuiuro nas a rigm to abolish tho liquor truflic, if it can say when they shall sell and to whom they shall sell. What is morally wrong can not bo made legally right by licensing. Tho speaker said that tho answer of thoso who hold that it is impossible to abolish liquor is 'Cause you can't." He then referred tu former en terprises, tho aceomrilishincnt of which was uy many consiuereu impossible. He said that when Cyrtis W. iicld began laying plans for the connection of the two liemis- imercs by cable, jieopio tarn : it can never bo done. Said tho seakcr : When our fore fathers spoke of tho tyrnnical bands of Eng lish oppression and made preparations lor tho great struggle, people said it can never bo done. Our torccs cannot cone with the rs. The? saltf, England will surely whip us. Pnrltbrlnti Itlmilt-it. Cnvlltrr III.

Wo havo warm weather, consequently very limited demamd for coal In the more do mestic walks of llfo. Tho amount of coal be Ing delivered from the yards In tho largo cities Is unusually small. Tho-consequcnco of this Is nn urgency to soil, nnd, as coal production liccps ahead of the sales, prices naturally aro heavy. An exccccdlngly dull coal market characterized the trade all last week. As to prices wocan say llttlo,rthcm. Mostoriho companies hare circulars out naming tho prices, but If a buyer shows himself on the market the circular Is not supposed to stand In the way of trade. Still this condition of tho m'arkct docs not repress the prospect a good year for 18S0. Operators arguo thallf a partial resuscitation of trade for three or four mi nths near tho end 011870 Increased tho coal traffic for tho year by more than nine millions ot tons orcr tho total product of 1878, what may not naturally bo expeclcd under a general revival orall business for tho entire ycaroflSSO? Indeed, It Is now believed that the anthracite Coal production cannot, taxed to Its utmost, be made to equal tho demand A month ago It was estimated that the trado was capablo of putting Into tho market dur, ing tho year 18S0 twenty-eight million tons o coal. On Saturday we had tbe opinion of an Intelligent and f-vpcrlenccd coal operator on this subject, and he was very decided that the production of tho year could not bo swelled beyond twenty-six and a half millions of tons, nnd his own belief was that tho limit vvould be within twcnty.slx millions or tons. If he Is right s s to cither of the two amounts named ono thing Is very certain, namely, tho price or coal Is likely to bo considerably higher at the end or the year than It Is now at tho begin. nlng. Just at present the coal trado Is a good deal demoralized, each seller or coal trying to undersell his neighbor, rather than wait and hold for remunerative j rlcos. Ledger, Mon day.
