Vsuthwous. THE WINE QUESTION IN SOOIETY. It is universally admitted among sensible and candid people that drunkenness is: the great curse of our social and national life. It is not characteristically. American, for the same may be said with greater em phasis of the social and national life of Great Britain; . but it is one of those things about which there is no dohbt. Cholera and small-pox bring smaller, fatality, and almost infinite ly smaller sorrow. There are fathers and mothers, and sisters and wives, and innocent and wondering chil dren, within every circle that em braces a hundred lives, who grieve to-day over some hopeless' victim of the seductive destroyer. In the city and in the country—North, East, South and West—there are men and women who cannot be trusted with wine in their hands—men and wo men who arc conscious, too, that they . are goinr , 'to destruction, and who have ceased to fight an appetite that has the power to transform eve ry soul every home it occupies into a hell. Oh, the wild prayers for help that go up from a hundred thousand despairing slaves of strong drink to-day ! Oh, the shame, the disappointment, the fear, the disgust, the awful pity, the mad protests that rise from a hundred thousand homes! And still the smoke of the everlast ing torment rises, and still we dis cuss the " wine question," and the " grape culture," and live on as if we had no share in the responsibility for so much sin and shame and suf fering. Society bids us furnish wine at our feasts,. and we ,furnish it just as gen erously as if we did not know that a certain percentage of all the men who drink it will die miserable drunkards, and inflict lives of pitiful suffering upon those who are closely associat ed with them. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people in polite life in America who would not darn to give a dinner, or a party, without wine, notwithstanding the fact that in many instances they can select the very guests who will drink too much on every occasion that gives them an opportunity. There are old men and women who invite young men to their feasts, whom they know cannot drink the wine they propose to furnish without dan ger to themselves and disgrace to their companions and friends. They' do this sadly, often, but under the compulsions of social usage. Now, we understand the power of this in fluence ; and every sensitive Man must feel it keenly. Wino has stood so long as an emblem and represent ative of good cheer and generous hospitality, that it seems stingy to shut it away from our festivities, and deny it to our guests. Then again it is so generally offered at the tables of our friends, and it is so difficult, apparently, for those who are accus tomed to it to make a dinner with out it, that we hesitate to offer water to them. It has a niggardly--almost an unfriendly seeming.; yet what shall a man do who wishes to throw what influence ho has on the side of temperance ? The question , is nok new. It' has been up' for an answer every year an ()Very moment since men thought or Walked about temperance at all. We know of but one answer to. make to it. A man cannot, without stulti fying and morally debasing himself, tight in public that which he tole rates in private. We have heard of such things as writing temperance addresses with a demijohn under the table ; and society has learned by heart the old talk against drinking too much—" the excess of the thing, you know "—by those who have the power of drinking a little, but who would sooner part with their right eye than with that little. A man who talks temperance with a wine glass in his hand is simply trying, to brace himself so that he can hold. it without shame. We do not deny that many men have self-control, or that they can drink wine through life without suffering, to themselves or others. It may seem hard that they should bo deprived of a comfort or a pleasure because others are less fortunate in their temperament or their power of will. But the ques tion ib whether a man is wiring to sell his power to do good to a great multitude for a glass Of wine at din ner. That is the nr , •• , " •- - • • - 14 " est terms. 1" ' little h •••1 quate apprehre!!!!..a r.f the t•vthi (,1 intemperance. TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA.,\ AUGUST 1,1872. What we need in our metropolitan society is a declaration of independ ence. There are a great many good num and women in New York who lament the-drinking habits of society most sineerely. Let these all declare that they will minister no longer at the social altars of the great destroy er. Let them declare that the indis criminate offer of wine at dinners and social assemblies, is not only criminal but vulgar, as it undoubted ly is. Let them declare that for the sake of the-young, the weak, the vi cious—for the sake of personal char acter, and family peace. and social purity, and national strength—they will .discard wine from their feasts from this time forth and forever, and the work will be done. Let them declare that it is vulgar—as it =de niably is—for a man to quarrel with his dinnerbecause his host fails to furnish wine. This can be done now, and it needs to .be done now, for it is becoming every day more difficult to do it.. The habit of wine drinking at dinner is quite prevalent already. European travel is doing much to make ituniversal; and if we go on extending it at the present rate, we shall soon arrive at the Ea- Tope= indifference JO the whole sub ject. There are many clergymen in New York who-have wine upon their tables and who furnish it to their guests. We keep no man's conscience, but we are compelled to say that the • sell influence at a shamefully cheap rate. Whdt can they do in the great fight with - this tremendous evil ? They can do nothing, and are count ed upon to do nothing. If the men and women of good so ciety wish to have less drinking to eicess, let them stop drinking mode rately. If they aro not willing to break off the indulgence •of a feeble appetite for the sake of doing a great good to a great many people, how can they expect a poor, broken-down wretch to deny an appetite that is stronger than the lose of wife and children, and• even life itself ? The punishment for the failure to do du ty in this business is sickening to contemplate-. The sacrifice of life and peace and wealth will go -on. Every year young men will rush wildly to the devil, middle-aged men will booze away into apoplexy, and old men will swell up with the sweet poison and become disgusting idiots. What will become of the women? We should think they had suffered onongh from this evil to hold it in everlasting ban, yet there are drunk en women as well as drinking cler gymen. Society, however, has a great advantage in the fact that it is vulgar for a woman to drink. There are some things that a woman may not do, and maintain her social standing. Let her not quarrel with the fact that society demands more of her than it does of men. It is her safe guard in many ways.—Dr. J. G. Hol land, in ,Sc'rthncr'sfor Augtvt.

The "challenge" of twenty daynstanding direct to the trio has failed to call forth a denial. Ono charge was that' Horace Gregley agreed in October, 1871, on his own behalf, to be a candidate for Preei dent if Horatio Seymour and the Democratic leaders would support him, and that he held a correspond ence on that subject; that Mr. Gree ley formally recognized his agree ment, and communicated the fact of the Democratic proposition to Reu ben E. Fenton, who consented , to give assistance . to the scheme; that Horatio Seymour subsequently agreed to give his support condition ally; that he communicated to Waldo Hutchings on this subject in refer ence to the Cincinnati convention, and that Seymour acknowledged the correspondence with Hutchings in a letter dated May-1, 1872, three days before the Cincinnati convention; that Hutchins responded, and be came a delegate to that convention; that the fact of Democratic coalition was well understood by some of the delegates to that convention; and _that the expectation of Democratic support secured Mr. Greeley's nom ination. The disclosures show that Lewis Carmichael, of Unadilla, New York, is the originator of the move : ment which made Mr. Greeley the Cincinnati and Baltimore nominee. Ho wrote to Mr. Greeley last Sep= I tember, giving his views about the coming campaign, and invited him to become a camlitlate. Carmiclacl's letter was addresscil inside to Hon. Horace areeley, the next President of the United States. He told Mr. Greeley the time had come "to raft over." Mr. Greeley expresscd his willingness to beeen..: a candidate, but feared, the Democrat;:. leaders would not support him. He invited Carmichael by letter to an interview. He accordingly went to New York and had a long talk with Mr. Gree ley in the tribune. office when Mr. Greeley told Carmichael that Sev -mour was a standing candidate with. the Democratic party, and that Sey mour would not stepaside for him. Carmichael replied that Governor Seymour-had not been consulied,mad had not said what_ he would do. Carmichael then offered to undertake to secure Seymour's' consent and co operation to the movement, arid Mr. Greeley agreed to become a candi date if Seymour and other prominent Democrats would endorse him. Carmichael saw Seymour, who Was first inclined unfavorably to the pro ject. - He soon saw Seyreour again by appointment, and said he, ‘.‘Sey.;' molar, had concluded that Carmich -eel was right, and that the Demo crats could support Greeley." Car michael soon informed. Greeley of his success with Seymour andwent about the State immediately to consult with the Democratic leaders. (For tho rarOUTEII] Carmichael, in the accounts tele graphed from Binghamton, describes interviews which he had. with Hors- tio Seymour and other leading Dem ocrats, all of whom approved the in trigue to make Greeley the Demi cratic candidate for, President, and covenanted to do all in their power to secure his nomination.
