Cokorkm hat boon culled sometimes proper and lometimei a n Impropor noun. 'Whoever calli it anything but a very impropor noun now, deserves censare for tho tamo ronton that "Wilson and Colfax desorved it. The Albany 'Evening Journal', n strong administration newspaper, lays " tbero Ii to bo a great change aftor tbo 4th of March, Congress will wear a dlfforont aipoct. Colfax will bo out of tho vlco- president's chair, otc." Yes, but Henry Wilton will be in it, and tbe report of tho tonate Credit Moblllor committee inti mates strongly that Wilson was not too good to creep out of the Credit Mobllicr difficulty last fall lystatlng'a falsehood. Got. Hekdricks hat signed tho Indi ana temperance bill and it has now bo. coma a law. Tho bill passed the sonate by party rote, the democrats voting in the-negative. It is far raoro stringent than the Illlnoli law. It provides that no license for tbe salo of liquor to be drank on the premises shall bo issued except on presentation of a petition signed by a ma jority of the voten in tho ward, vlllago or town and requires saloons to close at 9 o'clock in the evening. We predict that tho women of Indiana will forever oppose tho repeal of that law. A 2 fix has patted tbe house ef represent! atlvei in Missouri providing "that where two railroads run into any city, the de pttof which are inside of tbe city, and ' tbe lines of which crow each other outside 'of the city, the railroad companies shall be compelled to erect a depot at iuch 'crossing, so tl.at passengers may change 'from one train to another without being 'at tbe mercy of omnibus and carriage 'drivers to transport themselves and lug- gige across tbe city, which they are at present compelled to do." If this bill becomes a law it will be a saving of much expense to the traveling public and work a corresponding decreaso in the receipts of hackman and curriage driven. ; A BILL to cover the defects in tbe state I railroad law exposed by the recent supremo court decision, baa been laid before tbe house by Mr. Dunham of Henry county. It provides "that any railroad charging 'more than just or reaionnblo rates shall be lined for the first offense $2,000, and for tbe second offense shall forteit ita francbiae. Charging inoro than threo cents a mile is to be taken as strong prima facie evidonco of violation of tbe law, at it also tbo charging less for car rying freights for a longorthan a shorter 'distance. There It alio a provision h! lowing maximum ratci por mile for car- rying grain, lumber, coal, and aome ' other articles, the charging of more than 'such maximum to be peima facie evidence , of extortion. It it made tho duty of atale't attorneys in the leverul countiei to prosecute under tho act, and super. viiort are autboized to causo proceedings 'to be instituted and to employ counsel to aid tbe state's attorney, and any porion instituting the proceedings will got half the fine recovered, tbe balance going to the school-fund." to consist In the fact that It makes on nit reepowlblt'tor the acta of another. The eaio related In the last lisuoof tbe McComb 'Eagle which we introduce at the "head of 'thin article, it an ordinary one under the law and itrvot to Illustrate its workings. Tt appoart that Glover liai boon a "hard drinker" for twenty years, a fact of which it ii not probable that Hcih, the laloon-keoner. was Ignorant. It also appears that Olovor hai been In the habit, during hit twenty years of habitual drink ing, of shamefully abusing his family, another fact of which it it not probable tbe saloon-keeper wai ignorant. We are not informed at to, tho prico of "snulto water" por glass, nor how many glasses It takes to mako drunk an habitual "hard drinker" like Olovor. It may havo ne cessitated llje purchase of live or tin or flftoon glasses, at fivo or ton or fifteen conti per glass, which, at outside figure?, Would havo boon a mat ter of two dollars and twenty-five cents to tho lalooh-kecpor. If O lover paid cash for hU liquor, it wai not a vory heavy money making transaction for Ilcih. If ho got it on trust, its price would bo still a smallttr addition to tho saloon-keeper's income In either evont, for a very small profit, tho taloon-keopor sold to Glover the enemy which doprlved him of hiiiensot; lent him homo drunk to his family; caused him to brutally abuse them; to destroy bit furnitiiro, and in tbe not exaggerated , language ol tbe 'Eaglo' to "raise h 1 generally;" for tho home of the drunkard is a bell to bis family, hopolos?, helpless and dospnlring. Bocauso Glovor is a brute (mado so perhaps by his uso of liquor) worse, for cvon tho brutes that perish turn away In disgust from the pro duct of tho still, shall Uesh bo privileged to supply bltn with the poison which deadens all tho instincti of his manhood and makes him a torror to hii family and neighborhood? Is that an oppressive law which holds Uesh respon sible for tho consequences of his salo of li quor to Glover? Many eminent physicians hold tho opinion that habitual excessive indulgenco in liquor is a disease, and hos pitals for tho euro of inebri ates are common institutions in Europo and havo been introduced into this country. Is that law oppressive which aims to prevent tho spread of tbe means which mako inebriates? Shall tbe doors of liquor saloons and dram shops be thrown open, and their keepers be sup plied with cheap licenses to furnish sub jects for future inebriate hospitals? The temperance law does not interfere with the right of men to kocp saloons nor tbe right of other men to drink in them, any more than tbe laws which forbid tbe carrying of concealed weapons interfere with tbe right of dealers in such articles to if 11 them, or tbe right of others to buy them. It does aim to protect tbo family of tbe drunkarJ from tho consequences of bis unfortunate habits, and to protect him self, to as great an extent as is admiitablo for the law to interfere with hi rights a a free agent, against their indulgence. In this it is a merciful and a Just law, in keeping with the civilization of tbo age, an in n o way inconsistent with tho liberty of a free people It is urged by many who aro opposed to the law that it is a dead letter in the state. It it pot a dead letter. In five separate casos, tho tuprome court has pronounced it constitutional and overy case hai been n victory for the law, hai strengthened its enforcement and lossened the disposition of liquor lollori to dlsre gard it. The; friends of tbo law do not claim that it will abolish ilrunkonncss, or do away at once with tho jnanifold evils of liquor selling and liquor drinking. But it it a decided step toward tho accom plishment of reform in that direction and the fact Is to apparent that It Is not prob able the legislature will repeal or modify the law. TURKEY. SOME QUOTATIONS FROM HIS LECTURE LAST NIGHT. THE TEMPERANCE LAW. Tbe only rase of importunce disposed of this week before tbe circuit court is tbat of Mrs. Diana Glover, who sues Poter Hesb, a saloon keeper in this city, for one of kir husband's drunken sprees. It ap pears that Glover imbibed quite freely of "snake water," went home drunk, threw a batchet at bit wife, broke and knocked tbo cook stove to pieces, lore up tbe gar den, chased one ot bit children up stuirs, and raised b 1 generally liaising h 1 in tbe family seems to be a profession which Glovor bat been following for about twenty years. Suit was brought against the taloon keeper bo fore a Justice of tbe peace, whore a ver dict in favor ot tbe ulalntlff for ISO was obtained. Uesh appealed tho caso to tliu circuit court, where the Jury brought in a verdict for $200 tbe extent of tbe law. This is a pretty good lift (or tho Glover family, and if carefully expended and Ju diciously managed will give them a better tun man may ever Dorore jjad. it is an ill wind tbat blows nobodveood. Thodu. feodnt in the case has mado a motion for a rnw trial, M'Comb Eau'le. In view of the fact tbat tbe question of fu repeal ot the temperance law comes up Won the state legislature tfctf week, everything bearing pea it, one tide or the other, is of inter ft to the people. The law Is called op. araMlve by iU opposors, these baing, as a n uWm, partoni engtged In taloon-keoplng, VMksala liquor dealers and brewora. Oat form of Iti oppressiveness they claim A SCHOLARLY ARGUMENT. VHELIMINAIIY CONSIDEIIATION8, The reasonableness of iuiraolcs mav bo bbowu by a variety of very import unt considerations : I. Whatever Drobabilitv attends tbo question of revelation nt nil, must no us conclusively tavorabio to tbo real production of miracles ; and all mo evmence in lavor of revelation must be equally in favor of miracles. And whatever arguments might bo used to prove tbo reasonableness of a revelation, could bo also used to prove tho reasonableness of miracles; for miracles, viewed from any standpoint whatever, are just as probablo as the revelation itself. In fact, a very f;ood argument may bo made on tbe proba. bility of miiacles, aside from their effect in nutheu hating and supporting any kdcoIuo and dcfiulio rAvnlntinn ana if there bad been no revo'atiou of a hysteui ot doctrines and faith, still there might bo somo necetsity for mir aclos 1. To proventand hinder men from eliding off into practical and specula tive atheism, 2. To keep alivo and in action the iraproion of direct accountability to au intelligent God. 3. To iudicato the true position of t&Oral government, by showing tint the lawa of- nature can ho ana have dmii subordinated to tbo higher laws I of a moral kingdom. I a. it. a. -L. ft I -T II. Again, whatever evidonco can be produced to settle tho actuality of oreaiion as an, is iu uic uauic extent evidence for the production mid reason ableness of miracles, since tho miracu lous element constitutes tho very basis of creative power; and henco everv proof of the fact that matter has not been nud will not be eternally soil existent, is a logical and scientific tes timony to tho rcaionablouess of mira cles, and to tho reality of their pro duction at some period of tho past. All evidences of nny muta tions in matter, or of nny limitations which prevail in nud over it, must ac cordingly aid tho argument for the reasonableness of miracles, just to the same extent, as they demonstrate tho non-ctornity of matter and tho differ ence between mind and materiality. In this viow, tho reasonableness of tniraoles may bo established on tbo most s oiontifio foundation ; and iu fact, if matter had been eternal, still mira cles would not bo necessary at all, and (hero would bo no ground for assuming their impossibility. It is, iudced, very much to be doubted whether we are qualified to say, of any event, that it is probablo or improbable, even where wo know somo of tho causes i work, ui.d have some inklings of the inten tion the part of agents employed ; for it cannot be denied that tho accomplish ment of an event may- seem almost cer tain to one man, ami wholly improba ble and unlikely to another. The complexity of causes, agents aud pur poses which may exist in tho univcrso and tho range ot Diviuo operations -i . i (oven u wo nuuiii lor argument, al though wo do not believe it, the etern ity of matter), may be so great that it uia uc strangely presumptuous Tor c wisest of men to judec what would or would not be possible to Doity in, ins government ot the world aud a child not yet acquainted with tho al phabet of letters, might inoro reason ably judgo of tho purposes nud actions of the government, touching what can, or canuot be legally done iu these Uuitcd States, ilence, if the eternity of matter could be proved, which it cannot be, it would uot weigh a straw agaiust the reasonableness ot miracles On the supposition of the eternity of matter, it merely toiiows that wu can not tell whether miricles arc probable or improbable; aud then tho candid are left to weigh the evidence for a miracle the same as they do the evi dence for any other event, holdiug themselves in the light of an impartial jury, trying the facts in question us tney wouia any otner tacts, and bound to decide wholly andcolely according to the evidence and testimony iu the case. But on the supposition of tho creation of matter, it as clearly iollows that miracles are actual facts, which aro uot only reasonable, but which have already occurred in tbo period of creative antiquity, if not at many other periods also ; wnich of course fully establish the reasonableness of miracle-, independent of the additional weight which they may derive from testimony regarding their production, on the part of eye and car witnesses. III. Man has mado the demand for miracles; and so, unless the general teudeucy of the human mind be alto gether deceptive and wrong, a meta physical presumption is farmed for the reasonableness of miracles. Tho general course of nature has enough unilormness to lay n foundation which will give value to experience ; but it has, ulso, something calculated to an swer every leading tendency of the human mind. The spirit of the nge just now is to verge across the line. either one way or the other ; and we bte the human intellect oscillating, like a clock's pendulum, from one extreme to anothor, from skoptieisuito credulity anu irom crcuuiity to skepticism the intidcl lecturer who told you, at tho Athencum, tho othor day, that i : .i.' i . sii'piiuiaui was ucaring uveryiumg uc foro it in Boston, might have added that the people there used to burn witches and do various other supersti tious wrongs, llio tenuonoy to re action explains his problem fully. The Bostoninns, if correctly represented by tho gcntletnan,who hails from there, havo vibrated from tho extreme ofouo ovil to that of another ; yctiu this rase, as in almost everv other, the real truth is not found iu either extreme Those who believo in a frequent supernatural intervention and those who attribute everything solely to tho operation of tne ordiuary causes ol raturo, uliko ro fuso to recognize the true light of roa sou and the voice of science Nature must havo, in somo sonse, a uniform course, else the value of exporienco would be too small; yet tbero must have bcon supernatural intervention, ofsjmckiud, for tho benefit of man, olsc tbero cannot bo any key of ex planation for tho general tendency of mo uumau roiuu 10 crcuii mo super natural. Can any one bolievc that tbe general tondoucy of tho humum miud is ever less thau the indication of somo great truth? Such goueral toiuleucy has never been found to be wholly de ceptive iu any caso ; and uutil it shall bo proved to bo so, a self consistency of respect for uatur.l logic must impel tbo mind to concede ut least thu rea sonableness of miracles. Although tboro aro sovoral points bearing on thu general teudency of the humau mind, upon which I should like to speak, tho limits of my timo will rcauiro roo to forego that pleasure now. There are somo books on tho subject which treat it will. : :). IV. It is quite true that tho reason ablcueBS of miracles may bo shown, from a glimpse at tho absuraitios of cvory systom which has endeavored 1 1 sotHBide such attestutiousof the Deity, Tbero havo boon efforts very shrewdly devised to do away with the ncccseity of miracles, aud yet the vory efforts havo always led into positions ai hope less variance with science and philoso phy, and havo been, after inoro mature txamination, condemned and ostia cised by the reason, To avoid the ad mission of a miraclo at tho vory com mencement of man's history, wo have the sad sight. of a naturalist trying to traco tho human pedigree, to his own satisfaction, from tho tudpolo-like off spring of tbo ancient n&cidians and their larvio, etc., throuoh fishes, nil. phibiaus, reptile, and the lower mam mals to the monkeys 6' tho old world ; and from tlienco, through a long series of wi foil nd forms, to man, II o per suades himscll tlat man was devel oped up through !thc series of extinct forms that ho talks so much about. His premises, from his own showing, aro merely hypothetical. Uc fails to verify even tho facts on which he claims to liaso his hypothesis, but blatidy talks of "a serial of forms, none of which survive, graduating iu sousibly from somo apc-liko crcaturo to man as ho now exists." Yet, not so much as a single fossil remain has as yet been found anywhere, to which this scientist or any of his friends cau refer, as proving tho truth of his hy pothesis in nny of its features ; and it is indisputable, that no such develop ments arc now occurring, if they ever did take place, which has not been proved ns yet. Tbo theory of evolu tion looks better on paper than in prac tice ; for no facts are given by Dar win or anybody that provo even tho possibility of such an evolution up ward, bterility curses the creatures produced in contradiction, to Mature, rendering such beings unable to prop agate their kind ; which shows that thu cvolutioual theory must be false, since it teaches tho development of one species from another. This very evolutional theory is tbo ablest eflort yot mado to avoid the neces sity for a miracle In man's own case. Cuuld any miraclo of tbo Uiblo fmako your choice Joshua and the sun, Jonah una tno wnaio, etc.,) bo hair iu unreason able, as thu ovolution of man from a tad pole? Besides, where did that tadpole come from, and how did it obtain, presorvo and communicato life? Dr. Douton gut puzzled about that and tried, as you rec ollect, to make crystallization tbebatis of lite. But can crystallization mako u tad pole, or d d it evei ? Morouver, what made things to be crystallized ? crystalli zation being a more ctfect, and not un ope rating cause ut all. Every mail who un der.uudi goology or chemical lawt will tell you thl,so Urfrr.ru crystallization be ing tho basil of life, the uietumorphic rocks which aro usually crystalline, con lain no traces of fossils; and when dark limcstocc, replolo with shells and corals, is couverled into white cryslnllino marbles, every sign of an organic body becomes ob literated. Now, cither Doctor Denton was aware of this, or bo was not; and in either case, you may draw your own concluilons, m 1 have drawn mine. ! It does seem that every theory of exis tence, viewed from any itandpuiut what ever, must Involve the recognition of a miracle at tbe beginning ; which simply prove as clearly as the nature of any problem can be proved, lbercaionab!cnei of miracles. And as for those who would tind the basis in civilization, they might do well lo "remember Loi's wifo " V. Tbe great truths of natural religlcn not only vindicate the reasonablenos of miraclo, but shows tbo unreasonableness of any argument against such things. Iu making ibis statement, I do it with my eyes open totbe dpital which infidels may try to d rive from it. Tbe Variety of ab- suidness in the name ot religion, which men have heartily embraced and practiced, has been wielded us a strong weapon in ibo bands of tbe skeptic. Instead of see- in tr, in theio uistuno-s of lolly and de- lu Ion, that manliind are so constituted that some kind ot religion is a moral ne cussity, so tbat if tho true religion be re moved a tuUe one will cotne In Its plhco, the skeptic draws the random nnd unscien tific conclusion that ull religions aro equxlly spurious. .Stewart did not reason thus. II o reasoned in this wise: 'Tho more strange the contradiction, and the mor ludicrous, the ceremonies, to which tho pride of human reason has been reconciled, the stronger is our evidence that religion has a foundation in tbe na ture of matr" His argument is unanswerable, and it involves another great truth of moment: Society is elevated by tho cultivation, novor'by eradication, of faculties funda mental to human nature; thercforoJBnder whatever lit;ht presented, every Indiscrim inate attack upon religion, as such, is a vir tual retardment of human proeren, sinco history and philosophy aro alike conclu sive in showing that some kind of relig ion will influonco mankind. And more over, tbat a false ono will como when tho truo one is removed, can be as plainly shown although it docs not come within tho proving of my prcsont lecture to dls loso tho fact under the associated rela tions of testimony nn'd tradition. Thvso roligio'is recognitions of the soul are tbo primary, not tho sernndry, princi ples of our very naturo tho great do raarkttion lines to distinguish humanity from brutehood which a shown by all icienco and history, mut bo cultivated and daveloped, to bring the other powors of man to their relalivn perfection ; and it cannot bodoniod, that whatever a rever sion and a debasement of tho religious nature occur, all tbe othor powors become sadlv and fearfully dwarled aud Injured, just in the samo ratio. it man, inoreiore, nag mo nsiuro wnicn we know that ho has, mlraclos are tbo most perfect, consequently the most rea sonable basis upon whioh to construct tho argument for any dnctrlno of religion ; And what we thus infer from tho naturo of tbo case, ii fully confirmed by overy ap peal to exporlenee concerning tho matter. Totbeio considerations, I might add somo othon of equal potency, ero it at all neces-orv to do io. Tbo subject has not bean exhausted by any means. However, rs I am oxpnetod to touch upon tome Olblo miracles to which objections aro made, ynu will follow ine Into tbat Hold of inquiry. 1.&WYKRN.
