Ought to be a Beacon Light.

Editors Evening Gazette: You have kindly and out of regard to public interests, allowed me the use of your columns to say a few words in behalf of temperance reform. I have endeavored to be truthful and fair, in every statement I have made, and in saying that the "press" of the city must be included as an ^element of opposition to any change or agitation on the subject of our liquor laws, I do not think that I was guilty of abusing or maligning it. That was not my intention. The "press" has just as good a right to its opinion as any other portion of the community. But it is a public oracle, and its opinions and utterances are as legitimate subjects for criticism as any other questions of a public character.

The Express has taken strong exceptions to what I have said touching its position, and indulges this morning in a numberof short paragraphs, which are neither dignified nor truthful. I claim no title to skill in erudition, like that it the senior editors of the Express, and of has been unkind in them not to tell me long since, of the injury I was doing to their busiuess. A bill for damages properly filed and sworn to, I will submit to arbitration before a committee fairly chosen. When asked Capt. Allen to sign his name to the temperance pettion, he promptly declined, and remarked that the people were in favor of drinking, and he thought the presentlaw good enough. He has manifested, personally, quite a strong opposition to any agitation on the subject.

Now if the Express has been misunderstood, let it come out squarely aud define its position on the temperance question. A paper claiming the high character it does for morality, for wisdom, and for literary fame, ought to be a beacon light either to the friends or enemies of temperence reform. p.

From the Lexington (Ky.) Observer and Keporter.

Does Breeding Short Horns Pay. We doubt whether there is any species of breeding that pays so well as that of raising fashionable short horn cattle. We have here, in a country admirably adapted for them, animals which have been brought here from England, purchased there at almost fabulous prices, and broughfhere at an equally great expense.

Tiie question arises, does it pay to bring these cattle here Let us take an instance: Louan the Fifteen, sold by Jerry Dunrian to Wm. Richardson, of this county, for $700 several years ago. t.The price was considered exorbitant. ^Biit let us look at the result. Mr. Richardson has sold two of her produce at one time for $1,750. Her first calf wasa bull, and not admiring him, Mr. Kichardsou' made a bullock of him aud sold him for $115, aud would not to-day take $5,000 lor what is lefc of her produce. What she may produce in the future, of course, time alone will show.

Take another instance: Mr. Richardson bought, at public sale Phebe Taylor fer Se resold her to Mr, Kisses

$25,000 WORTH OF BOOTS AND SHOES

lose Out in the Next Ninety Days, to Made Room for Spring Goods. Being determined to sell Goods at the LOWEST CASH PRICES, we give the advantage to CASH BUYERS, who wish to save a few dollars in the course of a year to buy of a strictly CASH HOUSE. As fast as possible we are MARKING DOWN all our Boots and Shoes to the Lowest Prices for Cash Only.

O I A S

Having purchased the Clark interest in the Boot and Shoe business, and haying a large stock on hand, we will sell, for the NEXT THIRTY DAYS, at

GREATLY REDUCED PRICES!

And guarantee that we will sell goods of the same quality LOWER than the LOWEST. $2 Main Street, between Third and Fourth*

ger, of Missouri, for $2,000, and that gentleman sold her first calf for $800. Let us take still another, Loudon Duchess 2d, a beautiful prize animal, the property of William Warffeld. Her first calf, Loudon Duke 3d, sold for $250, and we doubt if he could be bright now for $2,500. We quote her otner calves as follows: Loudon Duke 4th, $3,600 offered Loudon Duke 6th sold for $1,500, and his present owner has refused $4,000 for hsm aud Loudon Duchess the 6th sold for $2,025, and London Duchess the 8th for $2,500. According to this statement, Loudon Duchess has produced five calves, from which her owner has realized, and been offered $9,275. Several of those which he sold were afterward sold for nearly double the amounts realized by him.

The thoughtful, reader will need no more illustrations the fact is too evident that breeding short horns does pay.

W a I I & S O N

lectured last night at Steinway Hall) oh the subject of "Oratory.'' A Herald special from London says that advices from Zanzibar state that Sir Bartle Frere arrived at Zanzibar on the 12th inst., in the prosecution of his mission for the suppression of the slave trade on the coast of Africa. On the i6th he visited the Sultan of Zanzibar, accompanied by a number of American naval officers and officers of the English fleet, employed on that section.

At the conclusion of the ceremonies)

Sir Bartle delivered His Highness the letter from Queen Victoria on the subject of the African slave trade, and measures which have been taken for its suppression. Sir Bartle will go to the Coast of Africa on the 24 of January, aud after landing there will penetrate some distance to the interior:1

The British flagship Glasgow with two corvettes are at Zanzibar. Three slave dhows with fifty slaves were captured during the past week by boats of the Glasgow.

A special dispatch from Yreka, California, says there are indications that the Government intends meeting with the Modoc Indians, with a view to the settlement of a war without further bloodshed. Elijah Steele, a prominent lawyer of Yreka, received a dispatch from the Supervisor of Internal Revenue, at San Francisco, asking if his (Steele's) and JudgeRosboraugh'srtames might be used in the organization of a Peace Committee to visit Captain Jack, and by that to effect a settlement of the troubles.

Judge R. replied that his duties as District Judge would prevent his accepting the trust, but that Steele would be glad to go. Steele has no doubt but that he will be able to see Capt. Jack without risk, but doubts the possibility of ar ranging peace, for the reason that the settlers in the Lost River country would never consent to it." Besides, he thinks that Capt. Jack, having won two decided victories, would require a good threshing before he would consent to treat at all. If Steele goes ne will be accompanied by two or three citizens, unarmed, and trust to Capt. Jack's honor to be listened to without molestation.

A special dispatch to the Times from Port Deposit, says the severe freezing weather which has prevailed for the past forty-eight hours, has hardened and deepened the ice, forming a tremendous gorge, extending toWilson's Island, four miles down the river, past the town, and several miles up the stream. The snow of Monday lies deep on the hills, and the stiff frozen ground beneath forbids any hope of its absorption. When the thaw or rain comes all the water it contains will come down into the valleys increasing the volume of water sp as to threaten the destruction of the town. At one place on the wharf, the ice is 16 feet high, and the water being fourteen feet is deep filled to the bottom with a solid mass of ice 30 feet thick,which resists the pressure of the stream to move it down.

Jan. 30.—The Poland

Committee, to-day, examined Hon. JboT] Beaty, of Ohio. He said Stevenson told how he got the information regarding the Sioux City road from Ames before he offered the resolution.

Alley made a statement in which he said that at a meeting of the Htockholders of the Credit Mobilipr, in

1867,

Ames

said that he had promised certain stock to certain parties. The only names mentioned were Dawes and Senator Wilson. The witness had no personal knowledge of Ames' transactions with Congressmen, when Ames claimed stock to deliver. McComb claimed stock for the same purpose, and mentioned Bayard and Fowler. Jas. T. Wilson was examined and recollected no Congressmen connected with the Iowa Falls & Sioux City Railroad except Ames and Alley.

Wilson objected to the inquiries about Congressmen, and the objection was overruled. The Committee'adjourned until to-morrow.

The friends of the Hubbard postal telegraph claim to have secured a sufficient number of votes in the Senate to enable them to pass the bill there. Oue of the strongest arguments is the treatment of the Alta Californian,- gnd Western companies. It is asserted that Orton never replied to the dispatch from the Alta proprietors, asking why their dispatches were cut off". This produced a strong impression among Congressman.

rx--.s. 'I:, ,i_ "7T From Chicago. CHICAGO,

The excitement in the police department reached a hi^h point last night, yhen the Police Commissioners having suspended Superintendent Washburne, the Mayor, in turn, suspended the commissioners, and ordered the captains to report to Washburne as before. The Commissioners,however, refuse to recognize the Mayor's power to remove them, as they were elected by the people. If the captains to-day* contiuue to disregard the Mayor's order, as they probably will, he will remove them and fill their places, and will also remove every patrolman who fails to obey Superintendent Washburne. The whole trouble will have to eoihe into the courts*
