Church. The third resolution of the report on temperance, prepared by Revs. A. IV. Adair and W. b. lilac bum says, that a3 the order, of Good Templar's has proved a success In re claiming the Inebriate and checking the progress or intemperance in many places, it 13 our auty oy example ana precept, to give this order our hearty support. But here Rev. Dr. West wood suceesta that the reference to Good Templars be stricken out." We would ask why so, Doctor? But his reasons are at hand. - He understood the Good Templar sociable were made the occasion for dancing. We say with all due respect, not so Doctor; Show us a dancing Lodge of the I. O. of G. T.. and they lose their charter direct. .But we admit that some of our members- dance, and we have heard reports of our Methodist's taking a step, though contrary to the rules of our society, uut in inai case we aeai with individuals. Who ever thought of throwing the M. E. Church over board in consequence of a member breaking the rules? Who ever thoucht of striking his name of fair fame from his place on the records of Evangelical churches? But we do not ask our candidates if they are dancers. Our motto 1st to get them nledced to abstain from all intoxica ting drinks and to use their influence against the spread of the evils of in temperance, and in this we have been successful. Robbing the rummer of his customers, getting them clothed and in their minds, and sending them up to the house of our God, telling them there they will find one mightier than we are who will teacn tnem tne way of life and salvation, and if there is a future, when they get there we much fear that there is some part of ministerial labor left undone. But here we must leave "our respected friend, the Dr.. and turn our attent ion to the Rev. Mr. Maxfield. Sorry to feel called unon to defend ourselves from imputations that are alike uu called for, unprovoked, unfounded and unexpected, and Injurious to Methodism. Mr. Maxfield states that religion has suffered by it, the G. T.'a. Has the gentleman any figures to show to that effect? We would feel insulted if any man should say he has willfully or maliciously made a false statement, as he is a minister of the gospel and we believe a gooa man. But we believe he is mistaken and has but few to corroborate with htm in his views. I cm almost 70 years old, near ly 40 years a Methodist and 30 years of them an, official member of. the M. E. Church, but never heard such an assertion before. Indeed, it is new doctrine to me. ' I have grown old in the temperance cause too, perhaps tne oldest in the State. I was the third signer of the first temperance pledge that I ever new anything of. We had never thought of a society, tnougn we had proof before our" eyes every day of the evils of intemperance, and thought then, as we do now. that if anything could be done to check the evil it would be removing a barrier out of the way of the spread of the gospel of peace. But we only got 32 names to our pledge the first year, and Mr. Max flJd's broad and uncharitable asser tion might have been approved of then. But who will indorse it now ? Thank God that the great and good are united in condemning it, and we sincerely wish that it had never Deen placed on record. But we must try to render it as harmless as possible by showing that the Reverand gentleman stands alone upon a platform of his own getting up. Indeed, I think that the rummers themselves would be ashamed to acknowledge that they own a single plank in it. I will here introduce an extract from the Chris tian Guardian, the organ of the Wes ley an Methodist Church in Canada: "The annual Bession of the Grand Lodgeofthe Independendent Order of Good Templars of Canada, was held in London, beginning on Wednesday the 10th inst. Abort 160 delegates were present, representing the various temperance societies located in vari ous positions of the two provinces of Ontario and Ouebec. Some idea of the extent of the work under their ju risdiction mey be obtained from the fact that delegates were present from the eastern townships of Quebec. From Montreal, Ottawa and one hun dred miles up the Valley above the city. From different points along the St. Lawrence Valley, and from the shores of Lake Huron and Erie as well as from nearly every city and town along Ontario. The report of the G. W. Secretary, Dr. Ferguson, of Ham ilton, shows that 137 new Temples were instituted during the past year, and over 7,000 persons initiated into the order. The total Membership in Canada now numbers over 21,000. The Independent Order of Good Tem plars is the largest temperance orga nization in the wold. Larger, we be lieve, than all the otherslcombined. It has on this continent over 5,000 lodges and a membership of 550,000, and has. during the past two years, increased at the rate of over 10,000 per month. The order now exists in every prov ince in the dominion of Canada, in Prince Edward's Island, in thirty-two of the United States and has recently been planted in 'Great Britain. Its members claim that because of its signs and grips, by which they are able everywhere to recognize each other, no other Temperance organiza tion gives' to its members the same ad vantage, for whenever they go over the entire jurisdiction the same signs and passwords will be -sufficient to confer on them all the rights and ad vantages of the order. We are glad to be informed that the Canadian branch of order is not at all discredit able in spirit and enterprise in the advancement of temperance, it is full equal to other localities. During the past three years the handsome sum of $1,000 has each year been voted fiom the funds for the employment of lec turers, who are kept in every part of the work, and this year the scm voted has been increased to $1,500. Besides the holding' of regular, meetings in connection with the more than 400 temples, the local public meeting and the many others held by the regularly employed lecturers. Some. tens of thousands of Temperance tracts have been gratuitously distributed and oth er temperance pulications introduced by the agents.- A very n'cat little temperance pap;r is published under the auspices of the crder, by the Sec retary, Dr. Ferguson, of Hamilton. When so niuca energy i3 displayed in so good a cause we cannot refrain from wishing thoae engaged God speed in their work of faith a-d labor of love." So much for good old Britishers who are not afraid of Good Templars injuring religion, but wish them a hearty God speed in t heir work of faith and labor of love. ft; r v !

The use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is a violation of the law of God, and destructive in ua results, destroying health, ruining for tunes, wrecking minds and sinking souls to neredition. therefore Resolved, 1st. That it is the duty of all ministers of the gospel to counte nance and co-operate with all organ! zations that are laboring to destroy this great evil. 3d.

Thf fnilnwinc anecdote of the late Mr. Swain, from, the Philadelphia i - A A 15 J.'res8, is not wunout its morai iu ti er lattitudes than Pennsylvania : Many years, age, Mr. Swain, then editor of the Public Ledger was hailed at the corner of Eighteenth and Chest nut streets bv a verv excited individ ual, who informed him in the most emphatic terms, "I have stopped your paper sir," and proceeded to explain the why and wherefore, all the time gesticulating wildly. "My . gracious, sir, you don't say so. Come with me to the office, and let us see if we cannot remedy the matter, it, grieves me thatanv one should stop my ' paper." Down Chestnut street to Third the two proceeded. Arriving at the office Mr. Swain said, "Why, my dear sir, everything seems to be going on here as usual : I thought you had stopped my paper." Then and there the ex cited gentleman, whom the long walk, by the way, had partly cooled, said that he had stopped taking hi3 one copy of the Ledger, Mr. Swain was profuse in his apologies for having misunderstood the meaningof his late subscriber's words, and regretted that he had given him the tramp from Eighteenth street to 'lnird, down Chestnut. The gentleman went on his way home, a wiser if not a better man, marvelling at the stupidity of editors in general, and of Mr. Swain in particular. Before he left, howev er, he ordered that the Ledger be 'still sent to his address. Helena, Montana, April 28. The most destructive fire that ever visited Montana occurred in this city thi3 morning. About two o'clock a fire originated in Chi nesetown. corner of Cutter and v est Main streets, burn ing both sides of the latter to Bridge street, crossing Bridge street and sweeping down both sides of , Main street, as well as both sides of Jackson street and on the east side of Clark street, a distance of three blocks. It was arrested in that direction at the fire-proof blocks occupied by Mans field & Co. and Wirt and HaVs drug store on the east, leaving in Its track Kinir & Grmcth's block, and Hussev. Dahler & Co.'s banking house alone standing: from the foot of Bridge and Wood streets every building on both sides, and between these streets, was consumed: as far up as Joliet street, every fire-proof stood, except Klrtz- ing's, on Wood street, which was de stroyed ; it was tilled with very valu able goods belonging to several par ties, which .were a total Joss, ninety- eight business houses and about forty Envate houses were destroyed. The ouseless inhabitants, with what is eitof their household goods, cover the hills overlooking the town, form ing a pitable spectacle. Wells, Fargo & Company and V estern Union Tele graph omces are both burned. Loss not less tnan nail a million. The Washington corresDondont of the Cincinnati Gazette tells tnis story of what happened to a Seymourite in Philadelphia. I had a little laugh over an anair that happened to a clever gentleman here, pending the .late Presidential contest. He was at ajjreat gathering of Republicans, one night in Philadel phia, with his little boy, an interest in!? child named Sevmour. In the great crowd of excited people the bojq Was separated trom ins anxious pater- nnL lie searened m vain, and at last cried out In a voice of anguish : t"Scvmoiir! Rpvnmnr! SVvmrmrf" ; Suddenly he was knocked down. "I'll teach you to 'rah for Seymour in this crowd!" roared his assailant. "It's the name of my boy," said the affectionate parent. "Then you ought to-be kicked for giving - him - such a . cussed i .mean name,,r responded the heartless wretch. The Great Telescope at Chl , cago. . The University of Chicago possesses one of the largest telescopes in the world perhaps the largest. The destined work of this wonder ful telescorje is to make, in connection with the nine, chief ... observatories of Europe and America, an entirely new catalogue of 250,000 stars, determining the right ascension and declination of each particular star ; so that by ob serving its position, astronomers may, in far off ages, be able to pronounce authoritively on its motion, and to declare in what direction it has pro ceeded through the illimitable voids. At this moment it is slowly and silent ly performing its sublime work, and furnishing those far on? astronomers the data upon which to base their cal culations respecting the mighty prob lem, the direct motion of the jun through space. When this 13 solved, data will be abundant for locating the position of the great central sun, around which millions upon millions of other suns, popularly denominated stars, do in all probability revolve. The great work being divided among the ten principal observatories of the world, will make the share of it fall ing to the Chicago Observatory 25, 000 stars upon each one of which the most careful observations will be made and recorded. It will require about ten years to accomplish this stupen dous work, and when it is done we may expect some most important as tronomical discoveries. Sherman's Clothes. . Lieutenant General Sherman, as Is now well known, is not the neatest of mortals, and one day an intimate friend, in the Army of the Tennessee, asked him why he dressed so. I'll tell you," said the General, '.'when I was second Lieutenant, I was ordered one day to Washington CityT and went in all the glory of. a bran new uniform. I was standing in front of a hot-el; sunning myself, and quietly smoking a cigar, when I became aware that I had attracted the attention of a number of small boys, who gathered around in such numbers,- and with such adiniriug countenances upturned to mine, ths.t I could not but factice them. As I did so, one of the boldest of them Ppoke up in a loud vofcs and asked, "Mister, where is' your ingine goin1 to squirt?" General Sherman has never been guilty of a completely new uniform since; he buys his uni forms In detachments, and wears them out in instalments. i-.. 1 1 i - Y Vi rv ;. i. a i .1 M Grant's Felicity of Langmi-e, He exhibits at time a rare felicity of language. 2113 word3 generally come slowly, but they are always to the point, and when analyzed his speech often proves eloquent. His despatch es aooana m terse, eisrnlheant exnre3 slons, like the response to Buckner: -2i o terms other than an uncondition al and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immedi ately upon your works." "I propose to ugin n out on this line n it takes all summer," js historical. "Let us have peace," uttered by the head of or tne army, became the watchword or a party, -ii w famous letter to An drew Johnson on the removal of Sher idan is alive with earnestness; and bis remarks to President Lincoln, upon receivinr command of thearmies,;area model oi chaste and manly eloquence. "Mr. President, I accept the commis sion with gratitude for the high honor conierred. with the aid or the noble armies that have fought on so many fields for our common country, it will be my earnest endeavor not to disap point, ysur expectations, l feel the full weight of the responsibilities now devoiviig on me; and I know If they are mei it win oe due to those armies, and a bore all, to the favor of that Prov idence vhich Iead3 both nations and men." : - - . Take, again, the short speech he made "nen ne received the nomina tion for the Presidency : "I shall have n policy of my own to enforce against the will of the people;" a sentiment iuuor wisdom and patriot ism, aia at tne same time the sever est possible rebuke of the President, who strove so hard to force his policy upon an unwilling people. At Gale na, when hi3 election was announced, he protlaimed: The responsibilities of the position I feel, but accept them without fear:" while In his inaugural are opinions worthy to become max ims of public and international law. The truth is, that few men who call themselves orators have made better or more effective speeches than he who has made so few, who never speaks till he has something to 6ay, but upon due occasions always has something to say that is pertinent and forcible. Atlantic MonUUy for May. Kir. Boiler and the Alabama Claims. Washington, April 28. Mr. But ler is getting his views upon the Ala bama question, in opposition to those of Mr. tsuainer Into shape. He holds that so far as the recognition of the behgerency of the rebels Is concerned, our case is as grave against France and Spain as against England. He thinks that Mr. Sumner, by making the ground work of his complaint, sympathy with rebellion against the constituted government, puts this Government in a false position, as we believe in the right of revolution if it oaly be construed as evidence or her ittent, we not stop todiscus3 whether she was technically right or wrong in her acknowledgment of beligerency, or whether the olockade wa3 a justifi cation of that acknowledgment or not. If she took advantage of the technical law to ini u re a friendlv DOWcT. and to do unfriendly acts, for the purpose of destroying that .friendly power and destroying her commerce, it is just as much an injury that requires repara tion as though the same intent had been done without such technical le gal justification. The fitting out of the Alabama, al lowing her to escape, giving her shel ter, and allowing the Shenandoah to ro out became not incidents of her lympathy with the rebellion, but her own act in pursuance ot her designs to destroy our commerce and cripple our power. Then these acts are not inci dents of a recognition of the rebellion, es Mr. Sumner puts it, but are the ery reasons which- no man in this country doubts she had In view, and which wa3 freely avowed in her par liament, to overthrow a great rival maratimQ power, of which she .was jedous.' - He says he reaches the same conclu sion as Sumner, that there must be atonement and reparation, but he re gard3his jown position as disembar rassing our just claims from the neces sity of reversing our doctrine of sym pathy with rebellion and insurrection. As to. settling with England we can wait ;lwe can easily find means when ever she gets into a war to sweep her commerce from the ocean, and substi tute in its place our own. In the meantime we hold her under perpetu al bonds to keep the peace to the amount of the Interest she has In com merce and manufactures. s We thus reduce her to a third rate power, be cause all nations know that she dare not be provoked into a war ; therefore as long as she stands in her present attitude with us she has no command ing position in the politics of Europe.

The President desires to retain him and will take the opinion of the Attorney General whether under the chciira stances he can send a person to fill the office without displacing Crowe. If he can't do this, he is inclined to offer the place to Dr. Bard of the Atlanta New Era. , If the Attorney General decides that the office cannot be filled without suspending Crowe, it i3 prob ably Gen.

A meeting of the Union Pacific Railroad Company was held yester day noon, in the office of Messra. Gid den & Williams, No. 114 State street. About twenty of the prominent stock holders were present. Hon. Oakes Ames presided, and Mr. F. Gardner Dexter acted as Secretary. Hon. James Brooks of New York, one of the government directors cf the company, addressed the meeting. He spoke somewhat In detail of the early efforts for begining the great enter prise now so near completion ; the dif ficulties revealed by the first survey, and the hesitation of moneyed men to invest their capital in the work. It was, he said, a noteworthy fact that but two of the original corporators chartered by Congres3 in 1SG2, now held on, and for a long time the whole capital and energy invested in the work came from two gentlemen, one of the original corporators alluded to, and another not an original corporator in the city of New York. When these gentlemen had expended their means : acter seeking in vain for essential help in New York, Albany, Philadel phia and elsewhere, one of them came to Boston, and was successful in se curing at first only small investments. Fortunately for the few men who had invested in the road, their engineer discovered other routes over and through the Rocky Mountains less frightful than the government engin eers had marked out ; and the discov ery of these routes alone saved the company from bankruptcy, and all concerned in it from ruin. There en gineers found no more serious difficul ties In passing or threading theliocky Mountains, than they had in passing the Alleghanies. When these discov eries were made, capital freely flowed in, and, alas I to say, envy and cupid ity too, on the part of some, who had let slip their opportunity to become co-operators or stockholders. in conclusion Mr. urooKs said "Congress, in the charter of 1864, asked only that the road be completed In 1878, but it Is substantially comple ted while I speak. Fourteen years' work has been really done (since 1SG4) In five years. The car that leaves .Boston, a few days hence, can be lan ded on one continuous track over 3000 miles off, on the shores of the Pacific. The work, then,-and the excelence of it too, considering the obstacles it has surmounted, is the most wonderful work of civilization, and, despite a few unjust attacks at home, it chal lenges the admiration of mankind." The meeting was next addressed by Rowland G. Hazard, of Rhode Island, in explanation of the necessity for em- loymg the agency or the credit Mo iller, or contracting company. The charter of the Union Pacific Company, he said, required that the books be kent oten for subscription t ill $100,000.- 000 of stock should be subscribed at par. Under this It was Impossible to get money to build the road. Capital ists could not be found to take the whole amount, and if they put inS20.- 000,000 then, if the enterprise proved unsuccessful, -they might lose the whole ; while if successful, other par ties who had not participated in the risk of loss could come in -as-subscri bers to the remaining -$"$0,000,000 and take four-fifths of the profit earned by the capital and at the riak of the first investors. . It was cecessary'.that the chance of profit to the. builders should be at least commensurate with the risk incurred. To effect thi3 object the Credit Mobiller, whose business it was to furnish capital and take such risks, and subsequently other capitalists were introduced.; In view of the risks it was impdrtantto the "contractors to be protected from personal liability, and hence thatthey.siiojild Jtiedincor porated. It was asserted that they ob tained an excessive premium for as suming the labor arid -risk of construc tion ; but this should be-estimated by the then existing conditions; and the chances of success, or ' faUirre'.' .'The general belief then! was that the ex pense of the Rocky Mountain section of the work might be ruinous to-the contractors. Further, any profit to the builders must consist mainly of stock in the road, and the opinion then prevailed that the road would not for the first ten years pay tne ex penses of oneratincr it. That in the estimation of the public the price paid to the Credit Mobiher did not more than compensate for the use of its cap ital and tne risk incurred was evinced by the factfthat the stock of this com- any, when its sole uiterest was in tne uilding of this road, was offered at $60 for $100 cash actually paid in, and without finding buyers at that. Those who took what were thus deem ed extraordinary ri3k3 of failure were upon commercial principles entitled to extra profits as a result of success. It appeared, however, that though the chances had turned most signally in their favor, they got only about 12 or 15 per cent, profit on the amount of business done, and some of the parties interested, in view of the risks and perplexities which they had been sub jected, unhesitatingly declined to en gage in other similar and quite as promising enterprises. Louisville. April 29. Judge Bland Ballard of the U. S. District Court. has issued and ordered a mandate to be served upon the Sheriff, requiring a stay in the proceedings in the case of John Conley, the negro who was sen tenced by Judge lir uce of the Circuit Court, to be hung to-morrow.

We were informed last evening by a gentleman of a ease of cruelty, which can scarcely find a parelicl in the nnnaJs of Omaha. He states that while passing on Thirteenth street near "the "Mahoney bridge," over South creek, yesterday morning, his attention was attracted" by the scream 3 of a child. He went to the house from which they proceeded, ami met there a man by the name of Hall. He asked to see the chilJ, bat the fellow Hall seemed disposed to put him oil Our informant va, however, deter mined to solve' the mystery; and finally succeeded in effecting an en trance and found in an old shed used as a carpenter shop, a girl apparently about thirteen years of ago, with her hands manacled and chained to an iron post which extended from the floor to the ceiling. A lady living in the neighborhood stated that the man Hall had kept the child's hands ex tended above I.er head the whole of the previous morning. The man, who appears to be an uncle cf the girl, gave a.- a reason of his conduct, that "she refused to cook for him," and that he was frequently obliged to call in her mother, whom the child would fight; also, that he could prove her to have been in a house of refuge. It is said that this man has been punishing the child for some month?, whipping her so oftenthat it had no effect upon her, and that he removed her from the heart of the city in order to prevent her cries from attracting attention. The child charges Hail with taking undue liberties with her person. The case is now In the hands of Judge Sahler, and if the charges against Hall are true as stated, we very much hope that the severest Suni3hment known to the statutes of 'ebraska wili bo Inflicted upon the perpetrators of such diabolical villainy.

American states that a couple of its townsmen have just returned from a tour through Virginia, and as far South as Selma, Alabama. - The' report the country lookingswell as far. as natural advan tages go, but there is a sad lack of in dustry and enterprise among the in habitants, which might be supplied by an Infusion of northern pluck, en ergy and ingenuity. j jT he .IJerald states that the delay in issning the orders to the military com manders at the South for holding elec tions in the States unreconstructed is caused by want of agreement among the leading men of those States as to when' the elections should be held. What is known as the Conservative i3 in favor of having the elections take place at once; the Radical leaders want it postponed until after the planting season, and some of them are opposed to holding it until late in the fall. The President is" consulting leading men of the South on the subject, and as soon as the time is settled upon, the order for holding the elections will be Issued in accordance with the Virgin ia, Mississippi and Texas reconstruc tion act. . The most important event in Wall street was the visit of Secretary Bout well and the foreshadowing of the future policy of the Treasury Depart ment. Mr. Boutwell gave audience to a number of gentlemen in the Sub Treasury, and in the afternoon visited the stock exchange. He wa3 intro duced to the members from the Presi dent's rostrum r:nd received with cheers, when he made a shortspech, stating, In substance, that he should faithfully collect the revenues due the government and apply them to the working expenses thereof, and the surplus, if any, to the reduction of the national debt; furthermore, he should institute economy in the Department and in all its operations it should be open to the public gaze. He closed by saying that he should endeavor to minister the finances without embar rassing the business of the country. These remarks were well received and had a buoyant effect generally, especially on the government bonds market, where the speech Wa3 inter preted, a3 meaning putting in force the long neglected sinking fund of 1S02. If Mr. Boutwell carries out the pol icy announced to-day, there is every reason to hope for a marked Improve ment In nuances in the future. j New York, April 2Sth.

To pet back to heme matters I want to say a few word.s on tho expected great changes In the world's travel.

'Already, I notice, the Eastern railways have'thcir "Pa cific trains" fast express. Railroad ing has become such an every day oc currence that it appears like repeating ones alphabet to ay anything as re regards particulars Speaking of Eas tern roads I wish to particularize a lit tle. During the past ten years the Michigan Central has carried tcu mil lion pasengers and never caused an injury to one of them who remained In his proper place. This road is equiped with all the latest Improvements that can assL-t to make traveling safe, easy or pleasant. Its management haa placed it without a peer n3 a passenger road, and the trans-continental travel will largely follow the" beaten path3. A commotion has been caused among grain men by the announce ment that a large amount of corn stor ed here had become heated and spoil ed. Large quantities were stored herg during the winter and from some un known cause it has become compara tively worthless. The headquarters cf the military de partment of the Missouri has been for mal y opened for business. The gal lant Phil. Sheridan is at home in tho Garden City. Tho superior facilities for traveling and transportation offer ed by Chicago, ho doubt, induced the selection of this city.

And let us, ero we drop tho subject, address a word to the ladies. Do net allow a ta'jte for stimulants to grow upon you. Oneo engendered, you may go down to the grave ere It Is conquered. By stimulants, we donot mean only the stronger kind.s, which men often indulge in, but which are sometimes styled "light wines" and which are often the seeds which ripen into a thirst only satisfied by intoxica tion. Touch not the demon, for fear of its gaining the mastery, and if, when in the festive hour, the ruby, sparkling juice is tendered to you, re fuse e'en though you provoke the cen sure of a friend.
