TEMPERANCE LECTURES.
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.

THE SICK PA R TV.
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.
George 1'eauody, the eminent philan-
tbropist millionaire, died in London on- the
3d itist. Mr. Peabodv was said to be the
wealthiest man iu the world. His cliuri.
tics during bis lifetime were given with a
liberal hand, lie gave from his own sub
stance, lie did uot surrender what deuth

his native and adopted country, buve been

letters aud thanks of congress. The mer.
chants 5u passing his statue-daily do not
