BUTLER CITIZEN
JONN H. 4 W. C. IIEBLCY, MOP'**.
Entered at the Poetoffice at Butler at
»econd-cla*** matter.
GUITEAU will hang—on June 30th.
SCOVILLE, counsel of Guiteau, had
twelve reasons filed and argued tor
granting him a new trial, but there
were about twelve hundred reasons for
not granting it, and so thought Judge
Cox.
OUR thanks are doe to County Su
perintendent Murtland for a copy of
the School Laws of this State, and de
ciaions of the State Supeintendant
thereon, with explanations, forms, etc.,
as revised and arranged by J. P-
Wickersham.
■ANT in the county came some dis
tance on Monday evening to hear Col.
Copeland, among them we noticed
Revs. Streamer and Bean and Dr.
Cowden, of Sunbury, B. W. Douthett
and Thomas Graham, of Penn town
ship, and others from all parts of the
county. ____
MR. WILLIS COLLINS, of Allegheny
township, was serving on the jury last
week and this. Mr. C. has been the
traveling correepondent of the Parker
Weekly Phoenix for some time past,
and is a gentleman of education and
culture. We had the pleasure of a call
from him to the CITIZEK office on Mon
day last
COL. COPELAND spoke for two and a
half boors in the Coort House, on Mon
day night last, and with the greatest
rapidity, we think, we ever beard a
man wpruk for that length of time. He
is both orator and actor, and bis head,
body, hands and feet kept time wit'i
bis tongue during tbe whole of bis de
livery of "Some Mistakes of Bob." Tbe
lecture was highly appreciated by a
large audience and tbe dangers and fal
lacies of Ingerso'lism were well shown
"P-
WE are requested to state, that in
tbe report of the county Auditors the
item giving tbe amount of borrowed
money paid by tbe Commissioners to
John 8. Ward, should be $lB5, instead
of $35. Also, that tbe amount of $261,-
83, charged against the township of
Buffalo in Auditors report, has since
tb# settlement been paid by Beaver
county. Tbe amount was for tbe keep
ing of one Matthew Gant in Dixmont
who properly belonged to Beaver
county.
A MEW phase is given to the Mor
mon question by a public statement
just made, that tbe Mormon church re
pudiates polygamy. Representatives
of tbe church declare that polygamy is
no part of tbe religion of their church,
and that tbe crime is kept up outside
of tbe ehnrcb. Religion being divested
from tbe question ought to make it an ea
sy sabject for Congress tospeedily legis
late itout of existence. Meetings have
recently been.held in various parte of
tbe country asking of congress to
pass tbe bill now before it on tbe sub
ject. Members of tbe Mormon church
now say they are in favor of its passage,
and tbis stain upon tbe nation will
probably soon he wiped out, and pass
away, with its "twin relic" slavery.
ANOTHER step baa been taken in the
Guiteau case. Tbe motion made for a
new trial for bim was over-ruled by
Judge Cox on last Saturday, who then
sentenced bim to be bung on tbe 30tb
day of Jane. Tbe defense bave tbe
right, until March 1, to take an appeal
to wbat is known as tbe Conrt in Banc
of tbe district, composed of all tbe
judges of tbe criminal courts of tbe dis
trict. Tbis appeal will probably be
beard in three or four weeks from tbis
time, but no one dreams of any revers
al of any of tbe proceedings. July 2d,
it is said, would bave been fixed for
tbe day of execution did not that day
fall upon Sunday tbis year. As it is
June 30 waa selected. Tbis date is
for enough in advance .to give tbe con
demned every legal right yet remain
ing, and therefore will not likely need
to be cbanged.
NEW CHAR TEH GRANTED.
A new charter was granted, at Har
risburg, on tbe 2d inst., to tbe Conno
quenessing Railroad Company, to build
a 34 mile road in tbis couoty, from a
point on tbe Sbenango road to tbe
Weet Penn at tbis place. Tbe former
charter for tbis connection, it seems,
provided only for a 14 mile road, and
tbe survey of tbe best route developed
tbe fact that its length would be greater
than that, and hence the necessity for
a new charter. The route chosen, we
understand, will be along tbe south
branch of tbe Slpperyrock creek. Tbe
capital stock of tbis company is $500,-
000, and tbe principal stare-holders are
A. H. Steele, of Titusville, SIOO,OOO in
bis own name and $103,000 as agent;
Tbomaa P. Fowler, of New York, SIOO,-
000, and J. T. Blair, of Greenville, P».,
SIOO,OOO. Mr. Biair is general mana
ger of tbe Sbenango road, and a rail
road man in whom we bave great con
fidence. From tbe new movement it
looks as if tbe construction of tbis im
portant link would now soou be com
menced.
ABOUT THE BLIND.
According to tbe Census report of
1880, there are in the Stale of Penn
sylvania 3907 blind persons. Of these
there are only 20 in Butler county,
and in tbe surrounding counties,
Armstrong has 54, Beaver 30, Clarion
80, Lawrence 37, Mercer G3, Venango
25, and Allegheny 209.
There are three institutions In' tbe
State for tbe care and instruction of
tbe blind; but it is probable that oiauy
of tbo friends of tbe blind know ootii*
iog of tbese iustiyjUoua.
ENGINEERS are still surveying up
the creek from here towards Greece
City, which looks as if the new Pitts
burgh & Western road would go that
way, and thus abandon the present.
Bonnie Brook route.
ADAM M. BROWN, E*q.
Oar Bar, on Monday morning, gave
a handsome endorsement to the candi
dacy of Adam M. Brown, Esq., of
Pittsburgh, for Judge of the Supreme
Court. The meeting of the members
of the Bar was well attended and the
proceedings quite harmonious. The
fall proceedings will be seen iu another
place of this paper.
GUtTBAVB BODY.
If there be any truth in the statement
made in the papers, that some of the
relatives of Guiteau were willing to
have his body, after execution, sold
and exhibited around the country for
money making purposes, it should at
once be met with stprj) condemnation
execration. A more disgusting p»opo
sition could not be made. And it
would be as disgraceful to the Nation
As infamous to all concerned in the
matter. ThP Idea is based on that
morbid desire in some to ijrjtgesfi any
thing monstrous, but in this case there
certainly would be too much self-respect
among the people to patronize such an
exhibition, The proposition to pur
chase the body is said to CQflje from a
manufacturer of refrigerators, and if so
he himself should be put into one of
bis refrigerators and frozen to death, or
Dear to death. Tb® idea of making
gain our of the dead body of the tftyy.er
of a beloved President of the United
States should consign any man to ever
lasting infamy. But we do not believe
there can bo anything pepoo 9 in thlß
revolting scheme. Should these bp,
t the Government, or the Conrt that baa
tried and sentenced the assassin, has
the power to prevent such a contem
plated disgrace.

"JOHNNY TRIANGLE."
The following from the Allegbeuy
city Evening Mail, of January 20,
iust. will recall to the recollection of
some yet living here a peculiar char
acter—thut of old 'Johnny Triangle,'
as be was familiarly known by. He was
so called from the fact that he always
carried with him a triangle on which he
would beat or play for the amusement
of men and boys. Little boys and
girls generally prevailing at Johnny's
entertainments. He always appeared at
the "musters" held in Butler, forty
years airo, dressed in a queer kind of
a military coat, military bat, etc., with
cockade and feathers, etc. very gro
tesquely arranged on his person.
The whole make up of Johnny, with bis
deformed appearance, always attracted
a crowd. He played the triangle for a
living, and his favorite tunes were,
"Jenny put the kettle on and we'll all
take tea" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy,"
to which he tuned his triangle
while singing.
The correspondent of the Mail has
the following account to give of him.
John Gallagher, an inoffensive
creature, wLo lived a short distance
out the old Franklin road (Perrysville
now) was for many years a charge
upon the township—a pauper—yet
rightfully the owner of a fine farm (of
which he wus defrauded.) No one
cared to engage in a profitless defense
ol an imbecile, and they who suffered
him to be defrauded, knew and could
name those who did. There were not
many in the city but knew crazy John
Gallagher, yet very few knew him by
that name. A Fourth of July with
out him was like the play of 'Hamlet'
with the melaneholy Dane left out.
The annual display of umbrella, cane
and cornstalk patriots was incomplete
without John. Parades of the milita
ry and firemen, or processions of any
kind were sure to bring him to town.
His patched, ill - fitting breeches and
rough, mud-covered brogans. were in
sad contrast to the well-brushed blue,
pigeon-tailed coat, quite too small,
and with naked arms protruding sever
al inches passed the Cliffs. The gro
tesque creature, vain of the large
epaplets adorning his shoulders, was
an amusing sight. Ho used to wear
a buyu cavalry sword but it was an
loooyaQoe and vn dit»*4r<M u» waa

the old sojer hat. It was replaced by
a tall stove pipe hat covered with rib
bons, colored paper, rosette and tinsel
ornaments. He managed to retain a
few words of 4 Yankee Doodle and of
,'Molly put the kettle on.' These he
repeated, parrot-like, hundreds of times
i during a day and in doleful unison
with a triangle, was sure to gather the
children, many of whom grew to be
men and women: their children clapped
their hands and shouted as they them
selves had done when children at the
appearance of "Johnny Triangle " Untii
within a few years since was be seldom
absent from any public demonstration
for half a century or more.
I remember when he walked with
head erect and sang with a voice not
sweet, yet strong.
A few years ago I was on Ohio
street, Allegheny, and I saw him once
again—a hoarv-hf>«4ed. feeble old man,
doubled up till face and knees almost
touched as he slowly shuffled alontrtho
pavement. It was, perhaps, bis last
visit to the scenes of his early tri»
umphs.

>*EW ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, )
January 28th, 1882. >
EDITORS GITUKN liistc.ry inform?
us that more than two centuries aj,-o
there lived a man bv the uanie of
Francisco Fernandez do la Cueva.
Duke of Albuquerque. lie was one of
the sixty-four viceroys who ruled iu
Mexico.' This was a "form of govern
ment Established by t/h&iifss »
continued tol>e administered during the
period of the Spanish dominion.
It was in honor of tlie Puke of Al
buquerque, who was a man of great
in the territory, that the
Mexican town known a« Albuquerque
first got its name, and it is admitted
by good authority that <t had an ex
is'tance long before the Spaniards set
tled here. Albuquerque then has been
for centoiipSJmportcnt town. All
the highways of any importance tfojj
verge here. In our day of railroad
travel, if we take Albuquerque as a
centre, we have Kansas city about
900 miles east, Denver about 500 miles
poith, and *n t fie west San Francisco
about 1200 miles ;"on the south tberp
is no pommercial city of any import
ance. New Mexico has an area of
about one hundred and twenty-two
thousand square miles. It is situated
«n the seo,irtropipa) region, yet the
great a!u! n de renders the clii»atp de
lightful. The richest part of New
Mexico is thai known as the Rio
Grande valley ; it extends from north to
south of the terrftoiy. A rotin(l o,( *
Albuquerque and Islets, the lalief be
ing 12 miles south and an Indian Pueb
lo, are to be found the finest fruits and
the largest vineyards in the territory.
The grape cultivated here is not the
same as that in the east. It is called
the "mission grape," and has been
cultivated here for the past two centu
ries. The vineyards are entirely with
out trellising, the viae being trimmed
close every year so that In a few yeara
the vineyard looks like a large nursery
of shrub trees. The largest vineyards
around Albuquerque are owned by
Messrs. F Iluning, Santiago Baca and
the Jesuit Fathers. From the fruit of
these vineyards many hundred barrels
of wine are made annually The great
miqing district in this part of the ter
ritory is about 25 miles northeast of
Albuquerque. The Sandia mountains
are about 20 miles east, although on
account of the clear atmosphere some
have supposed them to be only two or
three miles distant, and oue who had
come lately from the east, told mo that
on being asked how far ofT Khe suppos
ed they were, guessed theiy to be half a
mile, ami said she hoped to go over to
them some nice morning before break
fast
The topH of the mountains have
been covered with snow since Novem
ber, yet in the valleys there has not
been enough to cover the ground.
About half way down the mountains
there is a strip of pine trees, and in the
canons where water is plenty xteam
saw mills Lave been erected and from
them Albuquerque is supplied with
rough lumber. During the summer it
sold at $25.00 a thousand, but the de
mand has"been so great of late that it
sells for 35 and 40 dollars a thousand.
The coal mines in these mountains are
numerous, and will be poon worked.
The coal is very good and produces a
great amount of beat. This may be
attributed to the fact that it was during
the early eocene period that the forma
tion took place.
Albuquerque is fast becoming a
railroad centre. Jt is a little more
than a year and a half sinre the first
train of cars waked up the halfsleeping
Mexicans, as it sounded its shrill whis
tle and stopped in the midst of their
corn fields übout two miles east of Al
buquerque, on its first trip over the
Atcheson, Topeka and Santa Pe rail
road, soon a few bouses and a large
number of shanties were erected and
the nam* New Albuquerque was given
to it. Now the newspapers say, and
it may be so, that our city numbers
over three thousand people We have
schools, churches, a foundry, gas
works, lines of street card, telephone
exchanges, railroad, machine and car
penter shops, six newspapers, one
daily, three weeklies and two monthlies.
The daily gets the dispatches every
night from Washington, so that wo
get the eastern news as soon as cities
in the east.
Two more railroads are expected to
pass through Albuquerque during the
coming summer ; this will bring more
tre.vel and more people.
A fifty thousand dollar hotel is to
be built during the coming season.
Shanties are being pulled down and
brick or stone structures taking their
place.
The winter so far has been delight
ful and every where great improve
ments are going on. It would Is: safe
to say that at the present time one
hundred houses are being built, and
almost every day you ean see the sites
of fiew buildings being marked out.
The climate here is very favorable
to laboring men, the mornings and
evenings are eold, but the greater part
of the dav is like Indian summer.
New Mexico might be called the
sunny west, for the sun shines about
twenty-eight days every month. Yes,
th<> fun shines from morning till noon
and from noon till evening, and the
setting sun, how grand!
He seems to rush with terrific speed
as he approaches the horizon, and,
with a brightness that equals noou-day
in the east, lie falls upon tbe earth line.
The king of flay ere IK; departs throws
a gold lik<* mantle over tLe lofty moun
tains, and as you look at them you are
led to say, "surely he will stay Ins
speed and take a lingering look on
tfucb traubfbrmbd glory," but io a fuw
moments he is gone, and flashes of
crimson light shoot far oat in space,
until the heavens dazzle the earthly
with a halo of scintilating light. You
call your friends from within to wit
ness the scene, so grand, so glorious,
but it is like all eartbly glory it tarries
but a short time, for in a few moments
it is goae, and night has darkened the
earth, then we look up and see the
moon and stars sbiniug in* all their
j borrowed brightness, making tbe night
a thing of beauty and a sequel to the
day. J AS. A MEN ALL.
THE DOOMED ASS.4S»I\.
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL OF OUITEAU
OVERRULED, AND TIIE MURDERER
CONDEMNED TO BE HANGED
JUNE 30.
WASHINGTON,, February 4 Gui
teau made what was probably his luat
appearance iu public this morning, and
was taken bvk to Jau ceil under Set):
tence of death. The proceedings in
Court occupied altogether only about
three-quarters of au hour. Judge Cox
took most of this time delivering his
opinion overruling the motion for a
new trial.
Jl. I)OF. cox's DECISION
Jijdge Oil* b-gan to pead from man
uscript his deoision upon the motion
[ut a new trial
Reading fiom various authorities
bearing uoon the case. Judge Cox dis
cussed at some length the circumstances
aitending the finding of the newspaper
in (ho ruohj of '<ut)
jury in this eats*.
First. As to tbe handwriting: there
are several circumstances that make it
improbable that at least two of the
names upon tbe margin ol the paper
were written oy tjietu
selves.
Second. If—as FUggestecl—this pa
per was lying on the table iu the bail
iff's room, hikl gentlemen of the jury
irj wri'tiuc in albums first tried their
pens upon the tuai-gin, ij- wou|d aiiiouiit
to nothing in the face of the sworn
affidavits of every member of the jury
that they did not see or read a paper
at any time daring the trial No one
could swear to the fact that the jurors
"did write upon the paper, white' they
all swear that they did not, and there
js no reason to doubt their veracity.
So far aa tup dispoyery °f new evi
dence is concerned to be introduced i 3
as to the prisoner's manner and appear
ance prior {.fre assassination. If
there had been no evidence Ifuroducefj
upon this subject there might be some
force in the request, but a dozen or
more witnesses testified on the trial as
to bis ra&nOPF appearance covering
the period of time from March nuM tf»p
coin mission of the act.
The evidehoe now nought to be in
troduced would be merely cumulative,
and would not affect the verdict.
As to the expert witness whose ad
missions after the trial are alleged to
have been different from his evidence
given-upou the trial, Judge Cox said
could never be considered »s ft uronud
for overturning a verdict that may
have been obtuined through the evi
dence of the very witness who, from a
corrupt motive, migi t seek to reverse
a verdict. From all the papers pre
sented Judge Cox summed up: lam
unable to find any reason to grant the
motion, which is therefore overruled.'
Mr. Scoville—'l would li,'ie to note
an exception to the rulling of the
Court.'
Colonel Corkhill—'Your Honor, it
now becomes my duty '
Mr. Scoville—'One moment, please.
I would like to lile in due form the mo
tion which I referred to ycnterday.'
Mr. ScovlUe then filed his motion in
arrest of judgment.
Judge Cox then informed "Mr. Sco
ville of the rules of practice applicable
to the fili:ig of his exceptions, and
alter this matter had been arranged
Colonel Corkhill renewed his motion,
saying:—'lt is now my duty to usk for
the sentence of the Court '
Judge Cox (to the prisoner)— Stand
up. llaye you uuything to say why
sentence should not now bo paabstl UP"
on you V
'(juiteau (still sitting)—'l ask your
Honor to postpone the seutence as loug
as possible.'
Judge Cox—'Stand up, Have you
anything to say why sentence should
not now be pronounced upon you!"
The prisouer then arose, pale, but
with lips compressed and desperate
determination stamped upon his fea
tures. In alow and deliberate tone
he began, but soon his manner became
wild and violent, and, pounding upon
the table, he delivered himself of the
following harangue: 'lain not guilty
of the charge act forth in the indict
ment. It was God's act, not mine,
and God will take care of it, ami do i't
lot the American people forget it. He
will take care ol it; arid every officer
of thin Government, from the Execu
tive down to that Marshal, taking in
every man on that jury and every
member of this beuch, will pay for it;
and the American nation will roll in
blood if my body goes into tbe ground
and I am hung.'
KKNTBNCE I'RONOUNCBD.
Judge Cox then proceeded to pass
sentence, addressring the prisoner as
follows :
You have been couvicted of a crime no terri
ble in it» circumstance* uinl no far reaching in
it results that it bus drawn upon you the hor
ror of the wiiole world and tlic execrations of I
your countrymen.
The excitement produced by audi an offense
made it no easy tank to secure for y.»u u fair
mid impartial trial, but you have had the pow
er ol the IJuited States Treasury and of the
Government in your nervine to protect your
person from violence, and to procure evidence
from all parts of the country. Vou have hail
ax fair and impartial a jury as ever assembled
ia a court of justice.
You have been defended by counsel with a
zeal and devotion that merit the highest en- 1
comiuin, and 1 certainly have done my best «,
secure a fair presentation of your defense.
Notwithstanding all this, you have been found j
guilty It would have been a comfort to many !
people if tin- verdict of lh« jury had establish
ed the fact that your act was that of an irre
sponsible man.
Wh it unlive could have induced you lo this
act maul tie a matter of conjecture. IVohahly
iniii will ill ink lli m t some fanaticism of morbid
desire for w 11-exaltation wtw the nal inspirit- j
lion for th" act.
Ii would Have left the poeple III'- satisfying ;
belief thai the crime of pol.lieal assA»--:nation
was entirely foreign to the insiitu- !
tiou* and civilization of our country ; but the ,
result has drilled them that comfort.
The country will accept it as a (net that llint i
crime can be committed, and lii'r * oiirl will
hftvc to deal with it with the highest penalty
known to tile criminal code, to serve as an ex
ample to others.
Your cur-1 r has been so extraordinary that
people might well at times have doubled your
sanity, llut one can not but believe that when
the crime wu* committed you thoroughly tlii
dei .ti.od the nature of the crime mid its conse- (
oii'nces. ('juiteau -I was acting m God's
man;, and that you had moral sen-e and eon
-, i,n<-c enough to re.*os»ni/e 'in* nigral iliiijuity
of such au net 'l'ri • ner That'* a matter of
opini n.) Your «un testimony 'thow.s that
you recoiled with horror from the ideri.
\uu .-By that you prayed agn.ust it.
nay that ytm thought it wight bfc ja«Wut*d. {
This shows that your conscience warned you
aga nst it, but, by the wretched sophisty of
your, own inina, TOU worked yourself up
against the protest of your own conscience.
Your own testimony seems to co.itrovert the
theories of your counsel. They have maintained,
and thought honestly, I believe, that you were
driyen against your will by an insane impulse
to commit the act, but your testimony showed
that you deliberately resolved to do it, and that
a deliberate and misguided will was the sole im
pulse. This may seem insanity to some per
sons, but the law looks upon it as a wilful
crime.
You will have due opportunity of having
any error 1 may have committed during the
course of the trial passed upon by the Court in
banc; but meanwhile it is necessary for me to
pronounce the sentence of the law—that you be
taken hence to the common jail of the District,
from whence you came, and there be kept iu
confinement, and on Friday, the 30th <lav of
Juue, ISB2, you be taken to the place prepared
for' the execution within the walls of
said jail, and there between the hours of 12 M.
and 2P . M. you be haniffd by the neck until
you are dead ; and may the L-»rd have mercy
ou your soul.
GUITEAU'S PARTING OUTBREAK.
During the reading Guiteau stood
apparently qnn\oved and with his
riveted upon the .Judge, but when the
final words were spoken he struck the
table violently and shouted : 'And
may the Lord have mercy ou your soul!
I'd rather stand w here 1 do thau where
the jury does and where your Honor
does. I'm not afraid to die.. I stand
here as God's man, and God Almighty
■tfill ci4i>e eyevy who aas had a
part iu pt ooUi iug this unrighteous ver
dict. Nothing but good haa come
from Garfield's removal, and that will
be the verdict of tbe posterity on my
inspiration. I don't care a snap for
the verdict of this corrupt generation.
I woulMiaiUkJiatnousuud times be iniuy
position than that of those who have
hounded me to death. I shall have a
glorious light to glory, but that miser
able scoundrel G'orkhill will have a per
manent iob down below, where thg
Devil is pi sparing tot- him,'.
After apparently taikiug himself out,
the prisoner turned to his brother, and
without the slightest trace of excite
ment conversed for some minutes be
fore feeing ta'gei) from tfee court voam
The van in which Guiteau was taken
from the court-house to the jail reached
its destination without accideut or inci
dent. The prisoner remarked as he
stepped out, 'this is a regular Western
e nu* fctorw jlv pap or Ghicago.l
He was taken at once to his cell and
a guard placed over him: This pre
caution is always observed in the case
pf prisoner* undpr wqtenpa of death ,
and will bp rigidly adhered to in Gui
teau'scase, both by night and day.
Tbe jail ofiicials* however, do not be
lieve there is the sligh est danger of
any attempt on his part at suicide, at
least not until after the review of the
case by the Court in banc.
C'ani* UuUouml Amendment.
MB BDI^OH; — A t:oqyeq;ion WM
held in Franklin, Venango county, Pa.,
January 2ltb, the object of which was
to promote the movement in favor of a
constitutional amendment, prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors. Tbe call for it was signed by
many leading members of the different
political parties, and the request was
made that J-hree delegates of each of
these partied should be sent by each
township. This cali wan generally re
sponded to and the meeting was large
and enthusiastic The convention, by
resolution, expressed its approval of
the plan of securing the election of a
legislature in the interest of temperance,
through the present political parties
and directed its executive committee to
appoint emaiii of their number to meet
with tbe different political organizations
of the county, in 1882. and ask them to
declare themselves in favor of the con
stitutional amendment mentioned, and
to nominate only thorough temperance
men for the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives. The members of the con
vention also pledged themselves not to
vote or use their influence for any man
or candidate for any State office, or for
the legislature, whose record and char
acter are not a pledge that he will
favor the submission of the amendment
to a vote of the people.
My object in writing now is to in
quire whether any similar movement
i- under contemplation iu Butler coun
ty, .and, if not, whether you do not
think such a convention might held,
with profit, in itutler. I am making
the same inquiry ol the other editors of
the town. Hundreds of voters in the
county, of different political parties,
would rejoice, I am sure, to take pfcrt
in such a movement. The importance
of the subject is emphasized by some
recent eveuts recorded in your paper.
Judge Agnew could likely be secur
ed as a speaker for the occasion. Ho
would have bjn.*» at the meeting in
Franklin, but bis voioe had tailed, on
account of a cold, so that he could not
have spoken if he had been there.
Yours, INQUIHEB.
[Wo are, and have been, in favor of
Ibe constitutional amendment move
ment, as the ouly one that can reach,
to the extent necessary to secure the
community from the evils of intemper
ance. For a long time we have had
no faith in what were known as tem
perance pledges or meetings, and be
lieve that nothing but the strong arm
of law can govern that question. A
constitutional amendment would be
the highest and most poryiaucnt law
that could be obtained on the subject
and, therefore, we have favored that
remedy. We are not aware of any
movement at present being made in
this county, but presume there will be
in time, and for the objects suggested
by the writer of the above. Conven
tions, we notice, have been held in oth
er counties of the State, favoring a
submission to the people of the ques
tion, and for the interrogation of legis
lative candidates, etc.—Kr>. J
