Last night David Tatum and wife, Quakers, of Cleveland, Ohio, lectured ou inlempeiance in Broad Street M. E. Church to almost a full house. Tbo ex ercises were opened with prayer by Mrs. Tatum. Mr. Tatum preoeded his wife in the lecture. The eubstanoe of it was about as those which all have heard repeatedly. He said that no war bad ever harmed a nation so much as thia vice. It disquali fies every one for business, blunts tbs moral faonltios, is the oause directly or indirectly of more than nine-tenths of the crimes committed, and consequently most of the penitentariee were inhabited by viotims to the rninous habit. He had visited a great many prisons, and the in mates of a large proportion of thorn were engaged in nicking barrels to hold the an dean thing which placed them in their deplorable condition—a sad reflootiou npou the wisdom of the supervisors of such institutions. Annually about $200,- 000,000 are spent for bread, $250,000,000 tor tobaeeo, and $700,000,000 for whis key. The latter expenditure would build every railroad in tbe United States. It is one of ihe greatest commodities in com merce, and tbe world is a slave to it. A few grow rich in it, while otliorsjbe. come poor end rained forever. Total ab- stiueuco societies are growing powerful througbout tbe North aud the principle may oventually enter into politics, as it is greatly agitating tho minds of thous anils of good and true men. He exhibit ed several oharts to explain and show the effects of “drink" upon the bowels. Mra. Tatum made hut few remarks. She alluded to tbo fact that there ia a great deal more of intemperauoe BniODg tho female sex than mauy would apprehend. Iu large oitieB it is a deplorable curse, end thousands of women who claim re spectability are wrecks. She advised that children be taught total absti- nenoe in Sunday Schools, and that young ladies especially make them selves useful in tbis respeot. One of the great objeets of Sunday schools North is to instill into the minds of the young tho good and safe prinoiplos of total absti nence. It will profit any one to attend tboir lectures, for they are plain, earueBt and interesting talkers. They will ieoture to night at St. James A. M. E. Church, and all of the colored people Bhould attend. It is free to all.

Wheeler, the Bepnbli- can candidate for Vice President, arrived in the oity last Friday night, end will leave on Tuesday for hia borne in Malone, going by way of New York. He came here direot from his visit to Mr. Hayes, whioh be evidently' enjoyed maoh. In the eoaree of a long conversation to-night with yonr correspondent be talked freely of that visit, of tbe campaign, of tbe situation and of his own hopefulness for tho future of tbe country. Of one sab: jeot only does he refine bis opinion, vis. the legal question! now before Congroes- “Mr. Wheeler,” said I, “so many diverse opinions have been credited to yon in the publio prints that I should like to be au thorized by you to give yonr genuine opinion to these points, to: 1. “Has the President of the Senate judicial power either to oount or annoanoe the vote ? 2. “What are the respective rights of tho two Houses in regard to the count ? 3. “Has Congreea a right to go behind the eleotoral certificate ? “Well, now," said he, a broad smile breaking over his genial faoe, “I mut tell yon, aa I told the representative of the New York Herald, who oalled npon me in New York, that there is one phase of this controversy upon whioh it would be ex tremely indelicate for me to give an opinion. I mean the legal questions which have arisen, and whioh are now under discussion by the Congrei. I know you appreciete my position." “Indeed I do,” I replied; “andknowing you as I did, I could not believe that you would express an opinion to be made pub lic ou these questions. Bat the Herald man, it I remember aright, did represent you us saying that in yonr opinion the President of tho Senate bod the right to count tbe vote.” Mr. Wheeler—That la trne; he did. But whatever opinions he expressed are his own—based, I suppose, upon what he drew out of me. Whatever rights the l’rosident of the Senate has in the matter he has from the Constitution. Whatever right the Constitution gives him he can exercise without asking the Senate, and he oau exercise no other light." The conversation then drifted to the present outlook, and I asked him if he be lieved there would be any oonfliot, any bloodshed. Hie answer cams in on in stant, and iu most positive tones: “No, sir, I do not," he said; “I would consider it a libel on the Amerioan people to say that they could not settle this question without taking up arms. I do not believe thero will be any blood ehed. You see,” he said, “that an army cannot be raised, much less used, without money. It would take money to transport troops here for Washington. It would take money to clothe and feed them, and no men eonld fight long without pay. The money would have to be raised by subscription, and I do not think a war could be earried on long by subscription.” To a suggestion that the danger would come from the use of tbe regular army, ho replied, thoughtfully, that he did not apprehend any danger from that source ; that tbe Republicans had no intention of using them, and they would not fight of their own accord. When I suggested that a good many people bod no confi dence in either the Seoretary of War or the Secretary of the Interior, he said : “The Secretary of the interior has no control of the army, and the Seoretary of War can do nothing withoat orders from the President. I believe the people may trust the President.” Tbis he said earn estly, and added quiokly: “I do not think a more patriotio man than the President lives." I then suggested that the president's oontrol of the army would expire on the 4th of Marob, and the Seoretary of War would then oontrol the army, to which hs replied, after a moment's thought, that he had a firm faith that Congress would settle tbe question before that tima, and did not believe that a majority in the Senate could be found who would tolerate any filibustering for the purpose of pal ing off action uulil after the 4th of Maroh. Of his visit to Hayes he spoke freely. He said ho had never met him before, but felt in full sympathy with him the moment their . hands elaaped, and was made to feel perfectly at home ail the while he was there. He reoonnted, with much apparent pleasure, his reception by the Ohio Legislature, both branches taking a recess for the purpose of giving him a most oordial greeting, although the day before that they had passed resolutions strongly asserting that Tilden and Hen dricks must be inaugurated. His trip here at this time, be says, is parley on business—partially private and partially iucurred for his constituents, end that finished, be preposes to retire to bis home, there to await quietly and silently tho result. The Charleston Hews and Courier—re ferring to au artiole iu a Georgia news' paper attributing to Governor Hampton certaiu acts and expressions relating to Mr. Tilden which the Governor has char- notorized as falso and unfounded—dis closes u secret that is worth noting. It says that after the eleetion, end while the proceedings against the State Canvassers of South Carolina were pending in the Supreme Court, the direct offer woe mode by the Representatives of the National Republioau Committee to withdraw the Federal troops from the State aud leave Chamberlain to his futo if General Hamp- tou would couceda the election of the Unyes electoral tioket, an offer that was rejected. The consequenoe was that United States troops were used to prevent au organization of the legally ehoaen Legislature by au arbitrary and law less iuterfereuee with the seating of members, in defiance of the State courts, aud iu contravention of tho rights of tho people. All this would have been avoided, and Governor Hampton would have been put in posses sion of his office unquestioned, if he bad permitted hia own interests, or even the hope of redeeming hia State from the grasp of insatiate thieves, to induce him to acknowledge that the Canvassing Board had aotod honestly in counting ont the Tilden electors. From the report of Col. Hunt, which wo printed last week, it be came apparent that Collector Worthing ton, of Charleston, bad the power to re move a faithful officer of the army from his command because he would not assist the incendiary projeets of the lowest olass of politicians ; aud now it appears that the Natioual Republican Committee—a handful of most unscrupulous political partisans—had authority to uae United States troops in order to foroe the Gov ernor of a State into acqnieaoenoe in a gross fraud.— Neut York Sun. Judge Mackey and Uta Tote. The Herald'I South Carolina corres pondent thus writes: Tho best part, however, of the work of the committee remains to be told. Among tho witueBSOB summoned before it was Judge Mackey, tbe officious commissioner from General Hampton to Governor Hayes, who, as a professed Bepnblioan, had stumped the State for Hayes and Hampton. When tbe question woe pnt to him for whom he had voted he was con strained by his oath to tell the truth, and acknowledged that he had voted for Til den. This admission brought a smile to the faces of all the oommittee, the more ao as the oonfused and embarrassed wit ness went on to say: “Let me explain,Hr. Senator," address ing the chairman. “You ase there were three Demoorats here with whom I agreed that they ehonld vote for Heyes if Hayes was not responsible for the (ending of the troops to South Carolina, and that I ahoald vote for Tilden if he was so re sponsible.” “And how did yon find out?" naked Senator Cameron. Why, I wrote to him,” said the wit ness. “And what was hia response?" “He never answered my latter." Ttnil; Paeee I The New York Timet gives the follow ing acoouut of the duel between Freder ick May and James Gordon Bennett, and seems to voueh for its authenticity: “Tbe facta in the cose have finally been divulged, and are os follow*: The Ben nett party left New York lost Sunday sveuing, on the 9:30 train, going South. There were six in all, that is Bennett, Howland Bobbins, hia second; Dr. Chaa. Phelps, tbe snrgeon; Carroll Livingitone, Lawrence Jerome, and a valet. Upon their arrival at Philadelphia, Mr. Jerome and Mr. Livinstone left the train and went to the Continental Hotel, where they engaged four or five rooms. The remainder of the party went on to tbe S lant selected for the duel, arriving at iarydell about 2 o'eloak. They war* quiokly joined by Mr. May’s party, whioh had arrived by way of Dover. A walk of twenty minutes across the field brought them to the State line be tween Maryland and Deleware, at s point on the farm of Mr. Nathaniel MoGinnie. Here the ground was measured off, and, that neither might be hit by a wad, twenty psoeB—and long one* too—were measured off. The usual preliminaries were then gone through with, and the pistols were discharged almoat simultan eously. As before stated, neither man received a eoatoh. Mr. Bennett then said that he was ’satisfied,’ and proposed that they leave the field. Being the ohalleng* ing party, he had a right make aneh pro position, and Mr. May hod no alternative but to accept. There was no shaking hauds and no reoonoiliation. It is per haps unnecessary to state that the ground was precipitately abandoned. Bat one exchange of shots, and not three was had, and from the moment the party reached the field and until they left, the time did not exeeed ten minntaa. These foots are given npon the moot undoubted authority. A BRIDAL “TKOSUY.' BOW A TOCNO COUPLE EEOM TBE COUNTS! MADE TBEIB SELECTION. One day last week s powerfully built young mu, to whose right arm was linked a tail, thin girl of eighteen, with a sharp nose, pale blue eyes and hair the color of an old knife handle, entered a Sixth ave nue store with both eyes full of buainess. As the pair took seats a olerk intimated that he was ready to make bottom price on any goods in the store, from the finest ailk to the slaziest oalioo, “Thia is kinder delioate business for os, ” replied the young man, outing iheep eyes at tbe girl. “That is to say—that ia—yu, ahem !" stammered the clerk. “But I guess we’ll live through it, Molly, eo here goes. What we wont is a troosy for this girl—a bridal trossy, I be lieve they 0*11 it." “That's exactly what they 0*11 it,” re plied the olerk, “aud now tell me what artioles yoa want and I'U giv* yon oar lowest figures. ” The pair looked at each other in a fool ish way for a minute, and than the girl hid her faoe behind a staok of goods. “A leetle skeery, bat she’ll gat over it, ■nosed the lover. “The first thing, I spoae, ia a dress?” “From one to sixteen dresses u like. Ton’ll take black ailk, perhaps. “And perhaps 1 won’t. There's no (tyle about us, Mister. We marry for love, and we’ve got to make a leetle mon ey go a long weya. Is oalioo party low?” “Ob! Zeke! ” gasped the girl, inddeniy showing her faoe. “Well, we’ll go a leetle better then, though oalioo is my motto. Hand ns down something about 20 oents per yard. Give us dov* color, for doves ora meek and lovely, and so is Molly.” Twelve yards of dove-colored goods were eat off, and Zeke looked around and said: “Less see? I ’spoae a baok oomb, two yards of ribbon, a bnnoh of hair-pins and two or three collars ought to figure in some where." The olerk agreed, and they war* soon figured in. “Less see? She’d wear her sieler'a hat to stand up in, and her shoes won’t show if she has a long dress on, I gneu that’s about all, isn't it Molly ?” The girl blushed very red, beooned him closer, and after a minute h* tamed to the olerk and said: “It’s kinder throwing money away, bat she’s patty good sod gentle, and I don’t mind. She thinks she ought to have a fifty cent oorset aud two pairs of stock ings !” The artioles were brought, inapeoted and plaeed with the “troeay,” and after the lovers had held another whispered eonsnltation, Zeke observed: “Well, that ia all.
