iVational Legislation. A government "of the people, by Unpeople, and :o- the people,' ought to guarantee to the people "the greatest good to the greatest number." That there should be some legislation by the Congress of the United States with reference to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, no one can successfully controvert. All will admit that intemperance is a great national evil. That it imperils the lives, the fortunes, and the happiness of the people. It is a great public wrong stands out prominently to view, and as such ought to liave a public remedy. A remedy lies in legislation, as it does for any public wrong, and in national, before state legislation. It needs to be treated as any other public question of national importance. Some positive action ought to he taken. When slavery stood in ll;e way of a glorious union, it was cut down. When great railroads are considered the grand
.sources of development of a country , ;
they are built up. hen either a high or low tariff' is considered a good, it is created : when an evil.abolished. There is no hesiianey about legislation. If "My Policy," runs across "the pol icy," it is disposed. I f "Mr.
Lo, the poor Indian, massacres a few hundred of our men, women and children, though Uncle Sam's nephews may have done the same thing, and worse, there is not much hesitancy to adopt a policy to exterminate "Mr. Lo." Why don't we talk now about exterminating Mr. Ited-eyc-o ? He massacres more of our men, women and children, than ever "Mr. Lo" heard of. What we
want is legislation by the nation,
worii, and considerable time would elapse before the plan would be perfected, and there would Lie a good many objections urged against it. So any plan that could possibly avert the sweeping tide of intemperance,would becxtcni-ive&nd fraught with many objections. The truth is, it -is a great work : 'vol have a

the power of the nation is therefore required to conquer. It would be urged that a great monopoly in the traffic would be built up. Suppose there would be, the government would be the monopolist, and what difference would that make? In other words, who cares'? It would be said that there won hit be a great deal of dishonesty among the government agents ; so there is in the
upon the free schorl system of the country, and a combined attack upon all moral and Bible instruction in our public institutions. In giving an aeeount of . the Cincinnati election, the telegraphic report says that the vote was close, but that the Republicans have carried the

cris'.s oi business, in
"bitter need," of cash, and with impaired credit ; and this is about all it does show. No man or nation will be shaved $400 on a 1,000 loan, unless he or it is desperately "hard up," and in peril of bankruptcy and ruin ; well secured paper is never at any such discount, because capitalists can always be found to take it at par, or thereabouts.

is considered, nevertneiess, good, and the best that could be adopted. The whole amount oi good greatly exceeds the whole amount of evil, and if the proposed plan here, will accomplish that, fondest expectations will be realized, and it 'Is just the thiug needed. There would be far less dishonesty, and fewer unhallowed fortunes realized, than there are now among the trafficers of the nefarious business. Undoubtedly all this could be managed easily enough. If President Grant can find among the Quaker.?, agents to carry out his peace policy among the Indians-, he can find among the pledged friends of temperance, agents who would res peer the law iti the manufacture
and sale of Government liquors.

A Prophecy Fulfilled. The adoption of the fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Alexander H. Stephens, in the Georgia State Convention of January, 1861, when he declared that the Government had given the South "Louisiana, Florida and Texas, out of which, four States have been carved that we might spread the institution of slavery and ample territory for four more to be added in due time. If by this unwise and impolitic act you destroy this hope, you prchaps lose it all, and have your last slave wrenched from you by stern military rule, as South America and Mexico were ; or by the vindictive decree of universal emancipation which may reasonably be expected to follow."

nseii. Attmic tnat Alcohol is aj thing good in itself (which is very far from the truth) and that all the evil resulting from it, is its abuse, yet if the abuse is the general evil, and the right use the exception, so that the whole amount of evil resulting from its abuse, greatly exceeds the whole amount of good resulting from its right use, then the thins
itself is unquestionably a nuisance, and should be abolished, or regulated in such a way that the converse would be true. That the right use is the exception, however, upon the hypothesis above, no one of reason will for a moment contend. Why may it not be treated as the currency question ? Gold is an article good in itself, but was there no regulations by law for its coinage, it
would be valuless, and a curse. It is true, that any person can go to the gold region, and dig as much gold as he pleases, and sell the same for as much as he ean get, and there
are "none to molest or make him
afraid." But let him undertake to coin that gold and he will soon get himself into difficulty. He is at once a disturber of the public peace, and has to pay the penalty of violated law. And there are none to say ic is not right. Why ? Because a safe currency foe the country could not be established, if the government did not assume the exclusive control of coinage. Financial ruin would otherwise be the result. Hence the government has its mints its authorized agents to coin gold and silver, and the exclusive control of the same. If therefore it is ne
cessary to have such a regulation with reference to the article sold, an
j acknowledged good, why ia not ne
cessary, ana wny may we not, with
enjoy it. mis uemg tne ease, we are glad that the good and gifted gentleman has been pleased to present the great and precious matter of his oration hhs financial views in the form or a brief and lucid figure. In the beginning of his address, ho defines his position on the wnd question., with the following illustration : "Allow me to illustrate this point by stating a simple case in the ordinary afliiirs of life. Suppose in some crisis of business, Avhen money is of vital moment, to save your credit you go to a lender, who, taking advantage of your bitter need, and knowing that you can get relief nowhere else, alter listening, with indifference to your entreaties for fair clealinsri finally consents to take
your note, payable in twenty years,
with six icr ceut. interest per annum, for 1,000, and hands you $600 in return. You would have no difficulty
in understanding the extortion of
t'lc four hundred dollars on the face of your note for which you had received nothing. You could also easily comprehend that you were each year paying twenty-four dollars interest on taat spurious sum, as well as thirty-six dollars on the six hundred which you did actually re
ceive. Some day, however, you sit down and make an estimate of the
amount which the transaction is to
cost you by the time the note fullsdue, for which there has never been any
consideration. We will say that the note has already been running
live years. Your first item in the
account is the $400, the bonus which
'rstory of the bonds"
exhibits this nation in a "crisis" and predicament, quite similar to the foregoing. Nine years ago treason levied a deadly blow at the throat, aud heart of the Republic ; a terri
ble rebellion threatened the life of
the nation a rebellion instigated, organized ami carried on by Demo
crats. The Government must defend itself or die. It was driven to
war, and war is vastly expensive we had to have powder and shot,

and money ;o pay our soldiers.
There was not a cent in the Treasuary Buchanan hail left it empty and bankrupt. The "crisis" and emergency were indeed tremendous. Then Uncle Sam, in his "bitter need," issued his notes, (bonds) promising to pay the- interest on the face of the same from date, and the principal when peace and union! should be restored. This paper was j thrown on the market and disposed i of at a deep shave below gold j standard. It was by no means certain that the principal would ever be paid; for three years things looked dark and doubtful ; many times the stoutest hearted Unionists: almost despaired, while the Democrats never ceased to declare that everything had gone to the devil : they spat upon the bonds, reviling them as "rags and trash," and those who invested in them as fools. But
the money lenders came forward
and took the securities and the hazard. The P'overnroent got their
cash the "sinews of war" and
with its good help, crushed the trai
tors and their infernal cause. Now
since the restoration of peace on the eternal basis of union, the treasury is abundantly able to redeem all its obligations, to the very letter and spirit of the contract, and it cannot refuse to do so without fixing an everlasting stain on its honor and credcit- let us pay it in full, and cheerfully, without any worming or twisting or whining at its creditors. To abuse the latter as "pirates," as "ugly, stooping, cunning vizaged spirits of mammon" (asdoe Voorhees,) is as senseless as it is candalous the vulgar rant of a demagogue win?, formerly the willing hound of the slaveholders and rebels,
now seeks to cover up his damning tracks by gnashing his teeth at the landholders,

The Germans of the East have in it a faith that is abiding, and the years in waich this lunar phenomenon occurs always result in a huge crop of babies. In January there were two new moons, and 1870, therefore, muBt be a season in whieh married life brings its happiest fruition, and the children of the American eagle proportionately increase.

The cost of construction and operating it is not one-half the expense of ordinary roads. .Why not make the experiment in this country'?
Words or Commendation By those who have personally examined White's File, and are competent to judge of the importance of preserving our valuable literature, and the best method tf doing it; "Having examined the Patent Newspap?r File, invented by Kev,. Mr. White, we !lnd it a most convenient article for holding ill kinds of papers, firmly, in a bHk form. It is uasy to adjust, n :t liable to got out of repair, and occupies i:he smallest amount of space possible for the required pnrpce. As our leading papers, religious and S'jcular, are of general and permanent interest, some simple aad cheap do vice for holding and preserving them, would not only be a convenience but also a benefit to the community, by affording the fame matter to a vastly greater number of readers. We therefore most heartily recommend i t to all who would blend cheapness and efficiency in the preservation of papers, etc. Rev. M. Siic.psau, D.D., Bitnop of the M.E. Church; Samuel S.
