Findlay.O., April 3, 171. THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT. The nioreuieut of the ladiet against the saloon and grogliops if j.rorr--iiig favorably. From every portion of the land come the tiding tliat a new iiitreKt lias been awakened in the cau.se of tem perance, and each day brings the news of tlie downfall of home rtrongln.1'1 of intemperance l-fore the prayer of the ladieM. The moveuient hoe, in most pla ces, panfced itti novelty t-tage, and the de tails, which were devoured w eagerly by the reading public in the outrfart, are now omitted by the newc-gatlierer, and the salient features of the crusade only are sought after. It is not that the work is flagging, or that thone engaged in it are less determined, but becaut the bat tle Las opened all along the lines, and the minutiae of detail which was inter esting in the first scattering shots on the itkinoish line Lave been lost sight of in the general roar and din of the conflict. Hence, while the w ork has lost some of its novelty, it has lort none of its ear nestness; indeed, it may be truly , said, that each succe.stiive stage of the con flict develops a deeier earnestness, and a higher type of heroism on the part of the ladies. Of the ultimate success of the move ment, we have not the slightest doubt. By this we do not mean that every sa loon in the land w ill be closed by tliis process of prayer and song; in the na ture of things such could not be so, un less, indeed, this is the lx-guining of the iuilleDinui. What we do mean is, that it will be a success in the breaking of the terrible power that King Alcohol Las so long wielded in the land, and that it will relieve more of God's creation from the bondage of intemperance than were freed from the bondage of slavery by the late civil war. It will be a suc cess in that its influence will be exerted throughout the annals of time, and in the great cycle of eternity, many aye, very many who shall join in the "song of Moses and the Lamb," w ill date their first song of joy from the women's cru sade of 1871. CONGRESS. March 23. In the Senate, among a number of memorials presented, was one from certain umnulacturing firms in Ohio, calling for more currency, the funny part of which was that it had to be preheuted by rienator Morton. There was the usual discussion on finances. In the House the mining bill, from the rsenato excited some discussion. The debate on tha inter-fSt&te railway com merce bill was continued from the pre vious day. but no vote was taken. March 20. The Chairman of the Sen ate remarked that iik ihIxts were get ting carelet about the manner of pre senting petitions, and called their atten tion to the fact that they were not per mitted to make extended remarks upon those petitions. Mr. Logan presented a petition for inflation, and proceeded forthwith to trespass the rule as given, but was called to order. On the new currency bill a number of amendments were presented. On fixing the amount of circulation at fcitKi.OOO.OUU was agreed to. Mr. Merriinou projiosed a substitute for the bill, somewhat less stringent in its provisions, which re mains to be voted on to-morrow. In the House, Mr. Dawes presented a res olution, which was jiassed, providing that L'nited States notes and bonds may be printed in parts, ai;d at different places, for the sake of safety. The inter-State railroad commerce bill was voted upon, and passed by a vote of 121 to 1C1. A resolution was introduced and referrd, providing for the admis sion of Kew .Mexico as a State. March 27. In the Seimte, yesterday, a resolution was agreed to, which in structs the Secretary of War to send to the Senate the engineer's report, in re pird to the proposed St. lxmis Hridge. Another resolution asking from the Sec retary of the Treaury a statement of the amount due the government from Paymasters, etc., was iuid on the table. Mr. Morrill withdrew his amendment of the currency bilL After some discus sion on Mr. Ijogan's amendment to Mr. Merriniou's subMituie, the former with drew tliat amendment also, in order to give Senator Morton a chance to offer a t-e-tiou. In the 1 louse, tne lull amend atory of former currency acts, and pro viding for free banking was discussed, toth in the day and evening sessions. To-day's nessioa is to be devoted to the same debate. March iw. Several bills were re ported from the Committee on Public jin.l. in the Senate. A number of va cancies were filled in various commit tees. Several amendments offered to the finance bill were rejected, and the time for adjournment came before the motion of Senator Morton, to strike out the fourth section.liad been voted upan. In the House, after the call of States, the Louisville & Portland Canal bill was taken up and discussed, but went over until to-morrow. March 31. In the Senate, a report was uiade favorable to the coinage of the proposed twenty cent pieces. Va rious amendments looking to more or less contraction, were promptly voted down, under the consideration of the fi nancial bi!L Mr. Morton's tuotion to strike out the fourth section of the biil, was passed. Pending this motion, rule 12 of the Seimte was amended, so as to give motions to amend any part pr 'posed to be stricken out precedence of a mo tion to strike out. In the House, after Mr. Wheeler had proposed his amend ment to the Louisville Canal bill, he made a speech upon it. and the bill was passed with the amendment. A bill for the relief of the Vienna Kxposition Com missioners, was referred to the Comuiit tre on Foreign Affairs, and the House adjourned. TnK Legislature of Massachusetts has not yet succeeded in iu electing a suc cessor to Mr. Sumner. Ballots have been had daily for the past week in joint con vention, but without a choice. Dawes has the lead, with Hoar and Curtis fol lowingclose after. Dawes is gaining all the time, and unless a combination is formed n gainst him, his chances are good for election. Mr. Snmner was elected the first time, after a severe struggle, and it seems that his successor will have an equally hard conflict. Thk Senate Democratic caucus of the Oliio Legislature seem to have as much trouble in agreeing upon a bill to redis trict the State as their friends in the House. Much dissatisfaction was ex pressed in caucus, and one or two dem ocrats expressed their determination to fight the bill in open Senate. But it is inor than likely that all will be coaxed or whipped into the support of the bilL Thk steamer Crescent City exploded both ht r boilers, a few miles below Mem phis, on the 24 ult, by wl-ich eleven were instantly and six wounded. The entire front part of the boat was de stroyed, and she sank soon after. No cauSe is yet assigned for the explosion. Gov. ALLKX has appointed Geokok W. Manypkxxt, of Franklin, Lixcolx (. Dkxaxo, of Ross, and Wx. D. Mor gan, oLicking, Commissioners of the Central Lunatic Asylum, under the law recently passed. The nominations are said to be good ones. The mountains in Korth Carolina which have been threatening to break forth for the past few days are still on the rampage, and the people are still fleeing from what they consider the "wrath to come." DUTY OF THE HOUR. Synapsis of a Sermon preached at the First Presbyterian Church, Findlay, Ohio, by Rev. Eben Muse, March 29, 1874. H'w long win 5i- juiK arjntly an!Tt tl.5 l rii i.t l lii feu-ted?

There is a decisive hour in the field of Imttl", when one final chary will seal victory or de feat. There is a decisive hour in the history of the soul, when that soul will finally choose salvation, or finally reject it, to be alaiiIoiid by the spirit of Gk! and abandoned forever. There is a de cisive hour in the history of the nation and community, when that nation or community is in the agony of a mighty struggle between right and wrong; a de cisive hour, when victory lias decided for the right, and a decisive hour when it is determini-d whether tliat victory shall lie lasting or whether its fruits shall be lost. Such an hour lias come to this com munity, and such an hour I trust is coin ing to the land. A conflict has arisen over the broad land between the out raged moral sentiment of the country and the demon of intemperance which, says Judge West late of the Supreme Court) sacrifices yearly at its base altar one hundred thousand victims, which yearly expends a sum equal to one hall of the national debt, which entails mil lions of those deeper agonies of ruined homes and broken hearts which are never written and never known, and more tlian all, which sends its myriads into a drunkard's hell. This conflict is an answer of God to many prayers which have long gone up ; and at length, God, whose ways are not as our ways, has answered by setting up a strange banner against the flood of intemperance, and woman, Christ's first I and last friend, has suddenly, and most justly appeared on the scene, and glori ously triumphed with the weapons of love and prayer. The battle has been short, but because it has been short and bloodless, it is more florious than Auster litz or Waterloo or Gettysburg. And here, let me say, the hour after the battle is a critical hour. We may become in toxicated with victory, and fall asleep to awaken up bound hand and foot by the same enemy. There are just as many men ready to enter that traffic against which God says "woe to him that putteth the bottle to his neighbor to make him drunken," as those who have forsaken it. There are Haiuans still, who would fatten on the miseries of a whole nation. There are Esaus still, who would sell their birthright and their neighbor's birthright for a mess of pot tage. If we think there is now nothing for us to do we are greviously mistaken. There always has been moral sentiment enough and law enough to blot out in temperance, but the trouble has been tliat that moral sentiment lias been asleep. At lust it, ashamed of its sleep, has woke up. It has recognized the law, and enacted more law, and it will be a burning shame if the men of l-'iiid-lay don't seul this bloodless victory with the solemn decree before God and men that the plague of the liquor traffic shall never again destroy us. We can't expect our women to kneel and pray on the sidewalks forever. I believe that the heroism which led them in this battle would keep tiiem ill it until death; if necda !, and better that they should stand and pray until the day of death rather than the liquor traffic go on. Better tl.at woman should die pub licly, as she almost died a few dajs ago in Cleveland, than wives, husbands and children should die in secret sorrow and be buried iu a grave dug by ruin. Let us regard the liquor traffic and drunken ness as crimes. Let us remember that God lias ordained civil government for the enforcement of law; tliat God holds communities responsible for demanding tliat rulers enforce law, and when all this is done, then we will be done with the howl of mayors, councils, judges and juries, tliat "there isn't public sentiment enough to back them." That man who could stand and see the grandmother with tottering steps, the young wife leaving her crying children, the drunk ard's wife emerging from her home of poverty, and the young girl, all kneeling in solemn prayer to God at the entrance of these slaughter-houses of our youth, and say that the laws can't be enforced, which calls for such a sacrifice, is not worthy of the name of man. I have selected this Psalm, so little quoted, because it seems to suit, and precisely suit, the duty of the hour. In that censure which God, through this Psalm, showers upon wicked officials, he first reminds them of their mission. "Defend the poor and the fatherless rid them out of the hand of the wicked." I w ish, w lieu her husband has been slain by rum, or is worse than dead, w hen she takes her sad case into the courts, and is first worried by all the miserable quib bles and tielays of law, and next is mocked by a monstrous decision "five dollars and cost," I wish she could have some Paul to stand beside these Felix-like judges, who would tell them of "temperance, righteousness and judg ment to come," until like the other Felix they might tremble, if no more. "How long will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked?" Does not tliis seem like a prophecy of to-day, when the evil man with his money triumphs over judges, juries, courts and legislatures, though that money be the price of tears and blood? 4 "They walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course." The picture of that day is the picture of this. Jewish society crumbled because, as David said, the "vilest of men are exalted;" and our society will crumble just as soon, unless we learn God's message to us Tl T ri'KK AND GOOD MEN IS OFFICE. Here we are met by the modern po litical war cry "principles, not men." This is the exact counterpart of the cry one hundred years ago when "men, not principles," had made 'hero-worship" a science. Jw the truth is, men and principle, both. Let us have enacted always those laws, which are the reflec tion of Gh1's laws; let us have men and not broke: -lown political gamblers to enforce thoee laws; let the citizens who elect rememlier their joint responsibility, and denuuid the enforcement of those laws. But says one, "Tliis is a political mat ter. Let this alone. Go and preach the gospeL" Put. my dear sir, sin must not nine itself under the cloak of State, and say "hands off." Religion proposes to handle every sin under heaven. This Jewish nation was a nation whose re ligion was their laws, and whose laws were their religion. Moses was a giant statesman. Coleridge says in his Sides man' Manual : "The prophets of Israel are the politicians and statesmen of the world." "In them," says Gladstone, "is seen a vision of society for all mankind, a foundation f'-r i-.li natioi..-." This is one ! !-on of t!.e hour, to J ;it rar I '-t men in po-iiions of trn-t. And another is to t;:ke all needful steps to SEE THAT GOOD MEN SECURE SUCH POSITIONS. sruo.w-:. There is a ino-t 'aI!ri'-:ou- idea extant that politics are socorri:;t tiaX ChrL-tinn men must not touch them.

God never requires any man to d'evi that god may come. And after goxl men re intrusted with office, (and let us tl a:ik G1 we. have some such rioujlettlie people demand with one Voice that they ENFORCE LAW AND PUNISH CRIME. I formerly remarked to you that the failure to puni-h crime ()ne ,f the ilarke-t stains on the civilization of the 15th century. But preventive is better than cure. If a few feeble women can semi their pickets to watch by night and day the fountain head of crime, can't the law do the same.' Cannot it send its sjcial police, or even stronger powers, to guard every suspected tioint; Further, let our codes of justice BEWARE OF LICENSING CRIME. The State puni-hes a crime she calls "compounding with felony." Let her beware of herxdf conqioundiiig with crime by legalizing it in any form. But what are we coming to? Our great cities are radiating centres of influence, and in St. Louis, the large city in the West, prostitution, the vilest crime against God and man, is licensed by law. The same measure is proposed in Chicago, and only failed in Cincinnati by the solemn protest of the pulpit. 2ow, the liquor traffic is either right or wrong. If it is wrong, no State can ever rightfully license a wrong. Let us then refuse to do wrong, ai.d esjiecially refuse to make crime respectable by plaiting it in the hands of capitalists. Another lesson of the hour is that we learn who are the ENEMIES OK KELIGOX AXD MORALITY. There are infidel influences at work. In many of our great cities, the Bible is expelled from the schools, and the Sab bath trodden under foot. In Chicago the anti-Bible and anti-Sabbath party triumphed by au immense majority. Her purest women were insulted by an en raged rabble, while returning from an appeal to the council, and while the law officers were in sympathy with the mob. Tliis is a specimen of the fate of every town where the enemies of religion get the control, and matters may go on, until we have two great parties in tliis country, the one representing religion and morality, and the other representing irreligjpn and vice. You need not be amazed at the immense disgust express ed iu many quarters at this moral up rising of the people. It comes of botl those of native and foreign birth. But let those who are dissatisfied with the evident wishes of a large majority, re member that there is no law which re quires them to stay here, and remember ing that Sabbat h-keoping and God-fearing mull founded this nation, we protest against it becoming a vast lieer-garden, Wiiil founded our land lxk at the Piigriiu.s, kneeling iu pray er on Plymouth Rock, at JJew England colonized by the Puritans, at New York by the Protestant Dutch, at Pennsylvania by the Quakers, at Georgia by the Iiugenots. Ix.k at Washington, in the darkest hour of the Revolution, kneeling in prayer iu Valley Forge. Blot out the pulpit, the Bible, and the Sabbath School, and you will reduce us to Pnganisiu. Do you say these remarks are a con trast with our theme last Sabbath, "The power of love:" Not at all. Grand are the triumphs of that love which gave us Jesus, and which is ridding the land of a mighty scourge, but let love be scaled by law. The lover's fiiith is sealed by civil contract. Love and law alternate in the family, and love and law are both written in the Godhead. Where wo man has conquered by love, let men seal that victory by law, enforced law. and not idle statutes as a mockery on the books. The speaker then appealed to the men never to enter a saloon; he re minded the church of a long catalogue of ot her sins than liquor sins; he urged that if we did not provide healthy places of recreation for our young men, the Devil would provide unhealthy ones; he urged a reading roon, and a Y'oung Men's Christian Association, in which the horns and hoofs of sectarianism, should not constantly protrude; he urged patronage for reformed draiu-sell ers, and urgivl reformed drinkers to a life in Christ, as the only safe course; he re garded this temperance movement as a John the Baptist to prepare the way for Christ. lie asked the praying men how much they really were praying for the woman's work; he appealed to all men present that each one present was writing his biography hi these eventful hours, and urged them not to yield to the money loving, time-serving, patronage-gobbling tendencies of the day. And closed as follows: We live in the midst of great events. "Wc arc living, we are dwelling, In u grand anil awful time; In an aire on hl'cs telling. To be living is sublime." It bti'omcs us to "quit ourselves like men" in the grand struggle between light and darkness, between vice and virtue. I ask you hi the name of your own reputation, in the name of suffering humanity, in the name of the groans and tears of widowed wives and home less orphans, in the name of millions of those slain by rum, whose "blood crieth from the ground," in the name of the rising and unborn generation, in the name of her whose prayer, plea, and song, has filled our streets, in the name of God. before whose bar you are hast ening: Be true in this struggle. "Show thyself a mnn." "Be iust mid fear not. Let all the ends tliou aim's! at Be thv counlrv's, thv God's and truth's; Thcn,"if thou f:s!I'-t,"thou fa!I-t A blessed martvr."

Some again, who hold ccr; iiicutes which expire two or three months before their school closes, teach right on to the end of the year trit.'iont certificates. There are at present,yor ladies teaching in the Finding schools without certificates, besides some others in the county who are doing likewise. If they receive any pay, they get it contrary to law, as no clerk h;is any authority to issue an or der for the payment of money, without a certificate is filed with him.

We hope every teacher will come prepared to subscribe for it at our next examina tion. Yours respectfully, J. A. PITTSFORD, Clerk. of Board. LETTER FROM ADRIAN. ADRIAN, O, March 27, 1874. Ens. Jeff.- A word from Adrian, and the ea.-tern pjirt of yourcounty, may not be uninteresting to your readers. A shcrt time since, ve were favored with a visit bv Mrs. Dr. Jones, of vour town, who presented the claims of the Vt'niiiuu'x Foreign Juisxiuuurii fraiity. and organized a very encouraging auxi! iary in our place. The address of sister Jones was highly appreciated by ou pec-pie. She depicted the degradation of heathen women, and urged the duty of Christian Woman to their lost sisters of the Orient in u manner that moved all hearts. Adrian has been greatly favored witl religious meetings this Winter. The Evangelical Association and the M. E. Church have each held a series of meet ings in the place with f:;ir success. have t vro congregations in Big Lick town ship, of your county. At Biglick Church we have an excellent society of earnest workers. During a series of meetings held in this place, thirty have been add ed to their number. The other society is located two miles West of Independ ence. Here our brethren are building a new and beautiful frame church whicl will stand as a monument both of their good taste and generosity. Through t he courtesy of our Presbyterian friends. we occupy their church till ours can be opened. Two much can not be said in commendation of Elder W. K. Leonard of the Presbyterian Church, who so kind ly tendered us the use of the church. No man can become acquainted with the good people of Big Lick, without being impressed tliat the Lord has a great many good people in this world. The temperance army is marching on God bless the dear women, und hasten the day of whiskey's doom. There is but one whiskey shop in Adrian, which is run by a widow lady, whose husband fell a victim to the traffic. Our women, however, have organized, and on yes terday sent a Committee to the old lady to ask her to cease the business and sign the dealer's pledge. If she refuses, she will be entitled to the prayers and sym pathies of our women till she does. The fact is, we are to lie pitied. We liavu't whiskey enough here to get up an en thusiasm, and yet too much to be tol erated. Toledo, with her CS-1 saloons, will have a grand fight, but trusting in God, vic tory will crown the temperance hosts, J. W. HILL. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. Mak. 2". The petitions against li cense, and in favor of the prohibition of the liquor traffic, were many and numer ously signed. The educational article was read for the third time, and the only point in which it liiiTers from the preset article is iu an additional section making women eligible to school ol'ices, and this ne.w section, after a failure to strike it out, caused the defeat of the article. A bill of 6'1.5iKI for an index to the first volume of the delates of the convention, caused much discussion, but was finally ordered paid, and a price of ijTjU each was li.ed for the indexes which will be prepared for the two coming volumes. The report of the Committee on Cor porations other than Municipal was taken nj for general debate. Mak. 20. The convention was occu pied with discus-ion entirely, no vote i-ing taken ou any subject. General debate was concluded during the after noon.and the first point of disagreement, in the ten miuutes" debate, was hi regard to the manner in which dues from cor porations should be secured. Mak. 27. The debate on the individ ual liability of corporations occupied the morning session, and was finally set tled, by leaving unchanged the provision of the present Constitution. The phra seology of the section concerning as sociations for banking purposes" was changed so as to submit to a vote of the people each bill authorizing "the issue of bills, notes, or other psper which may circulate as money." The cumulative system of voting was again brought for ward in the election of directors, and confounded the understanding of the convention with its wonderful intrica cies. Mar. 28.
