"WEDNESDAY, AUGUST U, lSt9.

Tbe Bloomlngrton Democrat 'goes for" Temnerance and Preachers. The frientls cf Temperance have inaugurated a series of lectures, at the court house, and the Mininers from several of the churches :iave participated in the discussion of the topic of ' ''Intemperance." This, has led to the following article in the Blooniington Democrat, of Saturday last : THE TEMPERANCE LECTUI.E. "It has been i:n contemplation for some timo past to havo a series o:' Tempt ranee Lectures, on the public square, to le delivered on Sabbath nfternoons, by the preachers. This is ri:j-fct; this is as it should be; it is in conformity with long esta Wished custom in Blcoriiir.gton,to have Temperance Lectures when we do not havo anything else. The enterprise bids fair to oe Unusually successful at this time, as there

is positively notnmg ;joing on, especially on Subbatli afternoons, to furnish public amusement for pions minds. The college will, for a season, furnish no oppouuiiitv to our preachers to solicit invuad'ns to lecture at that institution. Had w-3 this, fall, as last, an important election i ear r.t band, preceded by a long and feverish contest, in which the self-called frieids of temperance coc.ld lly themselves ilmost exclusively to tbo great triumphant party, holding larje and disorderly meetings until late hours of the night, during th woek, then temperance lectures would lot be needed or desirable, for pretty mush the same crowd which is expected to attend on Sunday, and approve the hypocritical cant of the one, would be too much exhausted bv the labor of the wok eheeri iff the

tVe hope the miggestions we raakl: will be rewired and considered in the spirit of brotherly love in which they are made; if we have injured any one, w; forgive l.hem foit We approve the efforts of thoss enter prising, pushing prep.eliers, aed wc see no reason why the demonotration should not continue until every preacher in town can haven chanco to make a speech in public. If we have to submit to moral le 'ti res, we, of course, prefer it from the profession which has furnished ua the shining examples of Daily, Covey, etc., etc. Wc are not infoimed, at ths present writing, what clerical bellweather will lead the flock next Sunday, in search of temperance greeuneS3, bus due notice will doubtless be given. We advise f.ll to attend who admire the curious. Comment upon the above is unnecessary. Ever)' moral, order-loving citizen can make up his ow n verdict. Registry Law. It is not generally known that the lai:e Legislature, at the special session, repealed the entire Regis! ry law, requiring the registration of votes, etc., except the section which requires that all ballots be wrifen or printed upon white paper. A new section provides that the ballot of each voter shall be numbered on the outside by the Inspector, to correspond with the number opposite the name of the vote upon the poll lists. Emerson Etheridge,of Tennessee, is a. candidate for the United States Seriate. Emerson used to be a pretty good fellow, and several years ago the Republicans in Congress made him Clerk in the Houe-3 of Representatives. This he like! very well, but after a while he fell oui; with them because Mr. Lineol a didn't make him Military Govcrncr of Tennessee or something else thst

xwint of effect, the nieht performances : he wanted, and ever since that he

would perbnpa b8 preferable ; while at the

Sunday meetings tna preaeners necsssaniy

speak of tho evils of inteuipcranci somewhat theatricnlly. tic orators of the night demonstrations would furnish also tbe disgusting example. But "sufficient for the day is the evil thereof;" and on last Sunday afternion was to be seen this first breaking out on the surface, of the clear and well defined premonitory symptoms of what usually result in a casa of periodical temperance insanity : we may, therefore, soon expect to s jo some of its "morbid manifestations, in the shape of petitions in favor of prohibitory liquor laws, destined for the waste paper bo c of some legislature, whose majority, with their heads fevered by their last night's debauch, will give them not even a respect' ul reading; otnerwku if may develop itse f in tne form of remonstrances to some partisan Board of Commissioners to indp.ee them to violate their uths, and duty, in ref using to grant licensa to retail liquors, to men qualified und-;r existing laws, so that .he courts having appellate jurisdict on may promptly overrule their decisions. But About tbs speech: The occasion was a

.propitious one, the weather was fine, and j

the saloons and most ot tne business houses were closed. A crowd was soon collected hy the vigorous ringing of the court house hoM; with about the usaal numbe: of rude boys, free niggers and rat terriers, we also observed one horse in the audience, but in justice to tha- animal it. is prope: to state that he came with evident reluctance, and only put on airs from a pressure of surrounding circumstances, ov.;r whit h he had no control. Ths speech, as a whele, was a good one, well suited t.o tv.e occasion, and wc liked it; it was del:vered by a young man by the name of Nay lor. who is, we believe, connected, in some way, with the i&jnenuu ministry of tie Methodist Church. Then there was not muoh in it to nlighten tbo honest inquirer after 1'ie m rits of a genuine temperance rjforniatior. : but it Answered equally well for those who had evidently come prepared to accept vehement declamation and bold and confident assertions for demonstrated fact, 'fit! out a single inqu'rv as to the evidence on which it was founded. Said the speaker : "no man

can be a pt.triot who is a drui kard or a 1 were

dram drinke:. The assertion was a good and safe on well calculated to fecure the Attention of an unthinking audience, on account of its extravagant boldn;ss, and as equally, perhaps, incapable of refutation ns of proof. "We imagine that perhaps tha speaker1 misanderstood the connection in which the expression was used Iy John

has been growling around in irk -.some retirement. Now he coitus up again, and is going to run against Andy Johnson. Well, both of them can't have the prize, and of the two Etheridge is likely to be the fresher aud more entertaining as a member

of the Senate. But if neither of

then should get it, the number who will shed tears will be small.

The .Chicago Times has at lost found it convenient to inform its readers that "the manner in which the public debt is being reduced is highly gatitying." The other leading Democratic journals throughout the country still retain a dogged

silence upon the subject. According to their argurients, Andrew Johnson, whose administration add2d. one hundred millions to the public debt ia four years, was a success, but that of General Grant, which will reduce the debt nure in one year that Johnson's administration added to it in four, is a failure. It is by this sort of logic that the Democratic party has lost the confidence of the country. It can not stand the facts.

The Cincinnat i Enquiver .;ravely announces that ft distiller hits taken the contract for hanlinj.; of! all the garbage of that city, wi! h a view to converting it into whisky. As the garbage of a city is composed largely of animal matter, the idea of converting it into whisky is something new and startling. Beef bones, bacon rinds, chicken entrails, fish scales, in combinatioi with breed crumbs, potato pedi.igs, and the miscellaneous refuse of the kitchen, are to e put through the process of quick fermentation, and ir ado to yield a superior stimulan:, which will certainly not Ia ;k in "body." We an? at a loss- how to receive this new discovery in ti e manufacture of whisky. People ordinarily care but little about positive poisons in their drink. Thcv ran tall: learn

edly and scientifically of strychnine, sulphuric acid, fusel oil, nul other corrosive agents in whisky, and at the same time "hit it in.," with their accustomed regularity. In fact we believe tha; most drinkers prefer a real deadly drink. There is something positiva and substantial about it. But many who take kindly to poison,have a prejudice against nastiness, and fhe thought r.hat the

beautifully-beatled, amber liquid, was in an adjoining room, when, at

which giveth ltts co.or in tho cup, is ; tha t instant, the report ot a pistol

was heard, and bcott Moore loll to the floor, a dying man. Upon examination it was found that his inenlar vein had been cut by the

Acqultnl of Him. Morton. Mrs. Melissa Morton, changed with the killing of Scott . Moore, Jr., in New Albany, last December, was tried and acquitted in the Floyd Criminal Court, hist week. The history of ihe rase is about this : Young Moore, suspecting or hearing that Mrs. Morton was a woman of doubtful character, addressed her a note soliciting a meeting with her at the house of Mrs. Huff, a neighbor of Mrs. Morton. To this note Mrs. M. replied, the contents of which noteare unknown,except by inference from a second note, which Moore sent her. Thissecond note of Moore's brought Mrs. M. to the store of his father, where he was clerking. At this place they held a conversation in a low tone. Soon afterwards they were seen going down street in the direction of Mrs". M's. Mrs. M. went home, and Moore went to the house of Mrs. Huff. He had been there but a few minutes when Mrs. M. came in. They went into a room to themselves. They were in there but a short time when a noise like the rustling of a paper, or a scuffle, wa.3 hearth and Moore opened the door of the room in which they

were, and called on Mrs. Huff, who

Kentucky Election. The estimated majority for the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer in Kentucky, is from 40,000 to 45,000. This is a reduction of last year's majority about one-half. Seymour's majority in November was 88,678. Stevenson, for Governor, had over 76,000 a year ago. We

the product of a maggoty tub of swill, may possibly cause them to hesitate before dri iking. The Spencer eou aty Jorrnal contains a notice- from the Auditor and Treasurer of the c aunty, that some scoundrel has gain :d access to their offices and crust d and changed figures, altering amounts very seriously thereby, and committing other depredation s. A committee is investigating the matter, and the officers offer a regard of 6100 for

evidence that will discover and con-, vict the guilty per-sons. Hon. D. W. Voorhees is being urged by many of the Democratic papers of the Stat i for the nomination for Governor, by the next Democratic State Couv ntion. Voorhecs is the brains of the Democratic party in Indiana. A Fort Wayne family iinanceers through the hard times by hiring servant girls on t -ial, and discharging them without pay, at the close of the week, as n t satisfactory.

The State Central Republican Committee of Pe nnsylvania, has determined to can duct the canvass quietly, avoiding all partisan demonstrations ; tli it is to Sii.y, big conventions, precessions and displays. It is believed thi t the people have had so much poiiilical excitement as to have an absolute disrelish for it, and will be quite- as likely to come out and vote tho Republican ticket,

thoroughly orgi'.rize in every school district, and spread abroad the truth through the agency of political doc

Those assistant d'istructives of chicken meat on such occasions, the Lay Delegations., could make themselves useful, as well as crnamcntal, by seeing t'aat this thing is not neglected.

None of the Democratic papers

apply the term "bloated bondholder"

to Asa Packer, their Pennsylvania nominee for Governor, though that is what they would be sure to call a Republ ican candidate worth twenty millions of dollars. But we dare say they know what they are about. Quite likely Mr. Packer belongs to that class of rich Democrats who never invested anything in Government bonds. They are afraid they are not safe, and so they give the preference to railroad and other stocks.

The Ohio Democracy demand

Mrs. Morton's version of the case is that when she received the letters she went to the store where Moore was staying, to receive an apology that Moore agreed to give her a written one if she would meet him at Mrs. Huffs. To this she consent

from her by force by thrusting his hand in her bosom, when she drew a revolver and shot him, which resulted in almost immediate death.
