HOLSTEIN CATTLE. —At last week, 20 Holsteins sold for $2,801, being an average of $143.05. The highest, a cow, brought $250, and tbe lowest, a calf four weeks old, brought $48.50. Coi'BT is in sessiou, with Judges Bred in and Storey on the Bench. T lie Graud Jury was charged on Monday and is engaged hearing hills this week, only 17 of which we understand were laid before them by the District Attor ney. IT IS five hundred years since Wy cliffe completed bis translation of the Bible into English, and the interesting semi-millennial was duly celebrated by the American Bible Society, in New York city, on Thursday night last, Dec. 2. _ DL BINO the late "cold snap" tbe wa ter on the Connoqnenssing froze about ten inches and the business in ice was never known to be so brisk in this place. The ice teams were thick upon the streets for several days and tbe amount boused was immense. THE Eagle of this place continues unhappy. We have not noticed it for months past, yet week after week it continues to snap at us like a rabid dog. It seems as if still smarting under defeat and evidently wants to keep up strife in tbe party. The object appears to be to cre ate suspicion among our political friends aa regards our political integri ty, and thus place upon us tbe same bad character attaching to itself in that respect. Last week it contained what purported to be a communication to it from Anandale this county, but which anybody could see at a glance was written here in Butler, by some smart fellow who supposes he is a lawyer. Being anonymous, and a low, coward ly and false attack, of course we can piy no attention to it here. And have only to say at present, re garding the same, that the people of Butler county know both us and Mr. Robinson—both of us have served them in a public capacity—both been tried by them, and on both a verdict rendered as to who were faithful ser vants, and who weighed in the balance and "found wanting." We could af ford to leave the matter there, but in view of the conduct of the Eagle man agement within the last six months, involving acts of the utmost meanness and dishonor, we may be compelled to go a step farther in another direction. It will then have the opportunity of seeing where the "rebutting evidence" will come in. THE LATEST. If Gen. Grant were not previously disgusted with tbe nonsensical propo sitions of his super-serviceable friends in different parts of tbe country, to make him Captain General—life Sena tor—public pensioner—a recipient of private charity, &c., &c., then the lat est proposition of some "fool killer" to make him a U. S. Senator for Pennsyl vania ought to disgust him so heartily as to induce bim to start forthwith on a aecond cruise around tbe world.-Hea rer Time H. WHAT EXCITED IT. The following are the complimenta ry notices of the CITIZEN that so ex cited the envv of the Kaule of this place last week. We would not now publish them only for the malice and chagrin displayed by our uneasy neighbor. But it should not let such little jealousy l)etray it. We are sorry there is not some respectable journal somewhere that could give it a certifi cate of good character of some kind. We would be glad to see it receive such a certificate, but u great change will have to be made in its manners and matter before that can l>e done: THE Butler CITIZEN has entered up on its eighteenth year. John 11. A W m. C.

The late decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Monongahela National Bank vs. Isaac F. Overholt, error to the Common Pleas of Fayette county, is of much importance as bear ing on tbe question of the rights of banks to take more than the legal rate of interest on loans. The opinion is by Judge Trunkey, and reverses thejudg ment of the Court below. The Judge first quotes from the National Banking Act, showing that "the taking, receiv ing, reserving or charging a rate of in terest greater than is allowed by stat ute, knowingly done, shall be deemed a forfeiture of the entire interest which was to be paid; and fit has been paid, the person piying may recover twice the amount thus given" The question for decision was the right of the as signee of a bankrupt to maintain an ac tion to recover illegal interest paid by him before his bankruptcy. The Judge holds that the right passes with all other rights in equity, as it is not so much penal as remedial in its character. For United Sates senator. AH all other Republican newspapers have nominated candidates for the Uni ted States Senate, why should the lie publican be bashful; especially when it is able to name one superior in every respect to auy yet proposed? Men have been brought out for this office who are known only to a district or a State, and who have served but as governors, congressmen, legislators and the like. Shall we withhold the nameofone who towers above all these in everything that is commanding among men? In him we have poet, philosopher an.i sage; statesman and warrior; farmer, mechanic, merchant, Justice of the peace; member of the assembly, congressman, senator; elector in every State in the Union and member of congress from a dozen districts, if we search far enough into the past; his name embellishes the page of history and appropriates more space in the city directory than any other man in the universe; wc hardly need say that we refer to John Smith. Who is the man who left fame and for tune in Europe, and decked with med als till he could hardly walk, for his services in slaying Turks, came to America and, in partnership with Poca hontas, raised all the first families of Virginia? John Smith! Who stood among the head of medical literature in America for a long time, and presided over the oldest College of the old Do minion? Who, but John Smith? Who was the first great ecclesiastical mind to bring science and religion into har monv, and make the one prove the oth er? Who but John Smith? In all the variations of his name, whether Smith or Smithe or Smyth or Sinythe or Smeyth or Smeiyth or any other con tortionary orthography he may have adopted to suit his whim or gratify the vanity of his wife, we find him always the same. Whether dicing on the canal, carrying a hod, plowing the briny deep or stiring up the fallow ground; in the various enterprises of private life, or as a public servant, we find every one of him always walking in the paths of honor. John Smith is a man among men. He is more nu merous than any other living man. lie cast more votes for Garfield and Arthur, subscribed more money for campaign expenses, made a longer torchlight procession, carried more lumps, wore more capes, shouted loud er and whooped her up among the boy « to better advantage than any other man in America, and he ought to be made Uipted States Senator. We there fore nominate him and second the mo tion. The only drawback about it, and a matter which may cause objection to him in some localities, is, that when Smith beat out the Pasha's brains with a flail, he fjed to a Russian garrison on th-j "Don."

CLEVELAND, DEEEIRLXR 2 —Durine the visit of the Ohio electors at Mentor t.i-Uar. ia response to an address o' ; General Grosvenor in their liehalf. Gen era! Garfield addressed them in the following lun!fua<re : I am deeply grateful to you for this call and for personal and public congratulations. If I were to look upon the late campaign and its result merely in the light of a personal struggle and a personal success, it would probably be as gratifying as anything could be iu the history of politics If my own conduct during the campaign has been iu any way a help aud a strength to our cause. I am glad. It is uot alwaye an easy tbiag to behave well If under tne trying circumstances my behavior as a candidate has met your approval, I am greatly gratified. But the larger subject, your congratulations to the country on the triumph of the Republi can party, opens a theme too vast for me to enter upon now. I venture how ever to mention a reflection which has occurred to me, in reference to the elec tion of yesterday. I suppose that no political* event has happened in all the course of tho contest since the early spring which caused so little excite ment, and, indeed, so little public obser vation, as the presidential election which was held yesterday at midday. The American people paid but little attention to the details ofthereal presi dential election, for a very significant reason. A though you and all the mem bers of the electoral College had the absolute constitutional and technical right to vote for anybody you chose, and though no written law directed or suggested your choice, yet every Ameri can knew that the august sovereign oi this republic, the nine millions of voters, on an early day in November, had pronounced the omnipotent fiat of [ choice, aud that sovereign, assuming as done that which he had ordered to be done, entertained no doubt but that his will would be implicitly obeyed by all the colleges. That is the reason why the people were so severely quiet yesterday. They had never yet found an American who failed to keep his trust as a presidential elector. From this thought I draw this lesson: That, when that omnipotent sovereign, the American people, speaks to any one man and orders him to do a duty, that man is under the most solemn ob ligations of obedience which can be con ceived, except that which the God of the universe might impose upon him. Yesterday, through your votes and the votes in the various states of the Union, it is probable (the returns will show) that our great political sovereign has laid his commands upon me. If he has so. I am bound by his will and his great inspiration and purpose as I could be bound by any consideration that this earth can impose upon any human being. In that presence, therefore, I stand, and am aided by the majesty aud au thority of such a command. In so far as I can interpret the best inspirations aiid purposes of our august sovereign, I shall seek to realise them You and I and those who have acted with us in the years past, believe that our sover eign loves liberty and desires for all the inhabitants of the republic peace and prosperity, under the sway of just and equal laws. Gentleman; I thank you for this visit; for this welcome, for the suggestions that your presence and your words bring, and for the hope that you have expressed, that in the arduous and great work before us we may man tain the standard of nationality and pro mote all that is good and worthy in this country, and during the corning four years we may raise just as large a crop of peace, prosperity, justice, lib erty and culture as it is possible for forty-nine millions of people to raise. Governor Foster was master of cere monies, presenting the visitors to Gen eral Garfield. After an Interchange of greetings two hours were passed in informal social intercourse, after which the company returned here and dis persed for t' eir homes, except Gover nornor Foster, who remained at .Men tor. It part cf tha But .or Co. Tcmporance Convention. According to a fall previously issued the Temperance Convention met in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday, No vember 23d, at 2 o'clock, p. M. Half an hour was spent in devotional exercises, and after that the Convention was organized by the enrollment of dele gates and the election of officers. Notwithstanding the severity of the cold (the thermometer had marked be low zero that morning) there was a good representation from different parts of the eounty. One man had walked in nine miles to attend the meeting, and ladies had driven in ten and twelve miles. Dr. 1). C. Babcock, of Philadel phia; Dr. E. 10. Swift, of Allegheny; Itev. B F Boyle, of Slate Lick; Rev. J. E. Leydon, of Armstrong county; Mrs. Dr. Swift, of Allegheny; and Mrs. E. Murdock Watson, of Pittsburgh, were present. Abouteighty delegates wereenrolled. A committee of live on business ami permanent organization was appointed. Ilev. W. I'. Turner, of the M. K. church, IJutier, was chosen President of the Convention, and George A. Black, Esq., Secretary. Clarence \V Coulter prepared a map of the county, on a large blackboard, which proved to be a very instructive and suggestive object lesson. This map showed each township, and wher ovcr a liquor licens" was granted, in any towu.ship, the fact wan indicated by a red spot. A number of the town ships showed a clean record, while others were spotted over, and 100 ed as if they had the smallpox. Isutl«*r and Fairvicw were especially spotted. Mr. Coulter is also to prepare a large m*p on muslin, which will not only .show the eighty-four places which have a liquor license, atid their location, but will also gi 'e the location of each church and school house in the; county, so tiiat every one can see by a glance at the map how the forces of Temper ance and Drunkenness are arrayed. This map will be re produced, if possi ble;, in the (JhriMian Giver, one page of which has been offered for its publi cation. After the organisation of the Con vention, reports from town-hips were called for, and a number of bhort re ports were presented until the com mittee on Business presented an order of exercises for the afternoon ami eve. ning. Dr. Swift, of Allegheny, addressed the Convention ou the '• Responsibility ot tin; Church aH the Leader of all Re form." His excellent address was fol by/L"J liy tfiort Irve-miuute sjieoctws liy members of the Convention. At 4:30 t!.<■ Convention took a re cess until 7 o'clock, P. M. At 7 o'clock the meeting was led in devotional exer ises by Rev. C. L. Streamer, of Snuhnry, for h ; i fa a hour. Rev. B. F. B >•/!<' then addressed the Convention on the "Hindrances :i the way of Temperanco Kef >rm He was followed by Rev. D. C. Babcock iu an able address on "Misread passages of Scripture." A b.:nd of singers, from different, churches. Interspersed some Temper ance songs, as the excrc ses proceeded, and it seemed to be the opinion of every body present that a " Temperance Song Club'"' should be organized in every boroc-rh aud township of the conety, and be ready to aid in any meeting which may be held. At 9 o'clock, on Wednesday, the devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. l>. F. Boyle: after which the com mittee on Organization reported a Con stitution. After a careful reading, re reading and discussion, the following Constitution was adopted. ART. I. NAME —This organization shall be known as "The But'er County Temperance Union," auxiliary to the "Pennsylvania State Temj>erance Un ion.' ART. IL OBJECTS —The objects of this Union shall l>e to advance the cause of Temperance in all proper ways: Bv sermons and addresses; by the educa tion of the young; by the circulation of Temperance literature; by looking after the enforcement of existing laws aud enactment of efficient prohibitory laws, and by such other proper means and agencies as may promise good results.

A committee on Nomination was appointed to report tbe names of per sons to be choseu as officers for the year to come. This committee reported the names in full, except the names of Vice Presidents of some townships, and recommended that the Central Com mittee have power to fill all vacancies. The officers chosen are as follows: President—ltev. \V. T. Wylie, But ler, Pa. Secretary—Rev. G. W. Bean, Sun bury. Treasurer—W. I). Brandon, Esq., Butler. Counsellors—Kev. R. 0. Ferguson, Rev. W P.

Watson, of Pittsburgh, and form ed a branch of the "Woman's Christian Temperance Union" for Butler Co. Miss Mary Sullivan was chosen Presi dent, and Mrs. G. A. Black, Secretary. At half past 1 p. m., a Young Peo ple's Meeting was held, at which not less than 400 young people from the schools and town of Butler were pres ent. Mr. Babcock conducted a catechism class, and made a few remarks, giving each person a copy of the Question and Answer to keep. This was one of the best "Young People's Meeting" we have ever seen, an<' it alone was abun dantly worth all the labor expended on bolting the Convention- The .YJin-. isters from abroad had to leave at the close of its meeting, and Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Watson were introduced and spoke for a little time to the Conven tion. When the suggestions was made that all the boys and girls, who wished to thank the ladies for their address, should raise one hand for each lady, a perfect forest of hands rose above the heads of the young folks. A paper was started at the close of the meeting to secure a guarantee fund for the prosecution of Temperance work in the county, and subscriptions were mndy very heartily and prompt ly. \ copy of this will he sent to friends in order that at least one hun dred persons may he enrolled. When any reader of this Report sees that paper, let him be ready for it. The following resolution* were re ported by the committee on Resolu tions, ami adopted: /{t-xotced, That we recognize The National Temper a ace Society <f /'«/>- liculii.n limine, ( s 'i Read street, New Vork City,) as a powerful agency for the promotion of the cause of Teni|>er anee a IM I earnestly commend tlxrir books, tracts and papers to all our churches, and to the public generally.
