THE. CHICAGO DAILY TRIBURE: FRIDAY, VEMBER 1, i872. TEMPERANCE. _ Meetings in the West, Sonth, and North Divisions, ' Speeches by Eminent Clera gymen and Laymen. The Mayor Savagely Assailed by Rev. Mr. Kittredge. _Bev. Mr, Parkhurst Takes the Stump for Hammond and Buckingham. WEST DIVISION. The meeting held in the Third Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Carpenter and Wash- ington streets, was not very largely attended. The Hon. Willard Woodard presided. Afterthe Rev. Dr. Fowler had asked a blessing, the Chair- man said the meeting was called under the aus- pices of the Committea of Seventy, organized last August, since it was found therc was an or-. ganization of those opposed to the recently- passed liquor law, to oppose it and seek its re- pesl. Many temperance men thonght the lawa mild one, and the general sentiment of the peo ple. The Committee was not formed then for political purposes, but to eecure nnity of action smong temperance men, Recently saitention had been called to the en- forcement of the laws. Discussion in the Com- mittees appointed to coneider tkat question showed that nine-tenths of the crimes came from intemperance, and that it was better to check intemperance than seek to punish crime. The State’s Attorney had said closing saloons on Bundey would lesten his labors, and that had been proven to be true. Many believed—the Mayor among them—ikat the law could not be « enforced. Many insisted that the law should be » - get at defiance. But many others who believed in enforeing law, gince it was law, and, stimu- lated by the action of those who defied ke law, determined to try to enforce it. These meet- ings were called to discuss the ques- tion and determine what were the real sentiments of the people on the questions under consideration. If liquor-selling led to cnme, every man must take a decided stand. Their opponents did. Mr. Hesing was decided and open in his movement for its repeal, and went so far as to decline to suppori anyone for office was not opposed to it. The law did litile. It was no burden on the liquor-sellers. It mesant the cloging of disreputable places and making them responsible for their acts. ME. 8. AL MOORE was introduced, and seid there were others who were to speak and he would, thercfore, Le brief. They bad come to insist that the Sab- bath and liquor laws should be enforced. In everydecent community there must be laws, and they must be enforced, even if not pulatable toall. He had had some esperience in such matters. Where the laws were strictly enforced, thers was peace. He did not insist on the Sab- bath 2s a religious institution. To enforce Bundays laws, was infringing on no one's rights. Man to be moral, happy, and intelligent, must rest one day in seven., The history of the world showed it. The Jews had been blessed by their dsy of rest. The law gave to those who believed in Sundsy, the rest to which they were entitled on that difl All who believed in another day should also be protected. The Turner Hall Committee asked the Mayor not to enforce laws he hed swom to support, for the present. They said sny lew on the subject of Sgbbath abridged the rights of a hundred thousand people. What rights? Of going to & saloon on_Sunday. But they were not allowed to go to bakers and buich- ers, yet they did not complain—only the rum- sellers. If they wanted to drink lager on Sun- day, let them ; but they must lay in their stock the day before. He was in favor of toleration, and wanted foreigners to come, but they must and should ob%fl:e laws of the land which pro- tected them.- 6 Iaw was necessary a8 a police measure. Every well-regulated community must bavo churches and moral teaching. No day was 80 good for the Iatter as the Christian Sabbath. That training ond religious instruction were rofitable. 'They must not be disturbed in them. g iy right all hed. No ome had a right to set up a noisy ealoon snd disturb those at charch. These people fancied they had xights and ofhere none. They simply claimed thie right to disturb_others in the enjoyment of the liberty they claimed for themselves. Sun- day had always been usefal in & sanitary and po- lice point of view, and they had met to demand a rigid and entire enforcement of these laws. Bat they would not succeed if they were bound down by political czucuses, He had strong po- Litical opinions, but had lived long enough tosee the corruption of political caucuscs in large cities. To go to a political meetingit was neces- £ary {0 go to a saloon, and 8o mary steyed away, though probably they did wrong, for they should have gone and taken the meeting to a decont lace. The menwho met there werenotfittoeleck egislators and Aldermen. If they chose bad ones, he did not feel bound to support them. Some candidates he knew who were quite re- spectable, but some, or: both sides, deserved no- ‘body’s vote, and he hoped they would all be scratched. If they did that, the saloon-keepers would respect them. It was believed the liquor T S0 v thate o way. They had one sdvantage ; they were working for money, and could afford to pay and organize to win, whereas the temperance people did not think they had the time to spare ; they held meetings and talk- ed, but did nothing, for it did not psy. They simply wanted the law inforced, and they could have no peace or &rosperity unless it was. It Wwas nnogl'e and glorions law. It was declared by God lomg sgo that a men should be beld responsible for whatever goring his ox &d The recent liquor law was based on that, Rum was the most dangerous ox that could be turned loose’ in any city, and must be restrained. They did not propose to rtop the sale or use of liquor or arsenic, but they proposed to hold the seller responsible. No good man but wi:at wanted to see it enforced. ‘His experience bad taught him that drunkards Tere the most urgent for the passage of & law to heep their chiidren from drinking, because they knew they had no power over_ themselves. No one could assail with success the provision ing liquor-sellers responsible, and_many of the drunlards were thankfal for it. Its repeal would be s calsmity “to the-vity. He had not favored probibitory laws, though a temperance man, and he doubted whether they had ot done a8 much barm as good ; but this was no prohibi- tory law. TEE REY. DE.

SCOVILL] 8 said it was impoxflfi to understand the issue. The Germans had raised false ones, and made it a question of personal liberty, and an innova- tion of -their right to diiuk on Sunday. It had Doen shown, soon after the Comumittee to check crime had been appointed, that liquor “was the greap evil. Then tho Germans ou'the Commit- tee withdrew, since their pockets, or those of their friends, were tonched. The Germans were not tobo curbed in their rights. - People got Grunk in saloons, and became dangerous to the community. Soltwasproposed tostopit, asthey would a match-factory. All conld drink if they pleased, no nationality was hitat, but these places must not be opencd Sunday, since it was proved they caused three-fourths of the murders. They all knew what Bridgeport meant. The Germans might get to fancy the odors that came thence, ufi it was possible, for he had seen people en- joy meerschaums and beer, but still the people Dad o right to stop those Bridgeport nuisances. The real question was, whether those crime manufectories were to be swpgcd or not. He 1ad a kindly feeling toward the Germans, but several thousand Hessians once camo here to prevent Americans getting their liberty. Ger- mans were generally good citizens, however, ex- cept Mr. Hesing, and he might do good if he went on in his wild_way, by waking up Amer- icane. Mr. Hesing had said he had worked for fourteen years for the Germans. But he had done nothing for education; he had only been active when liquor was menaced. He, however, believed Mr. Hesing thought he was right. ere were no igsues between par- ties now; it was & question of men. So in this State there were no issues. He was glad of it, and liked to have the contest brought down to a choice between men, Perty ties should not lead persons to vote for bad men. MR, HENRY GREENEBAUAU said he ind been identified with the move for the suppression of crime, He had one day said to some friends, every murderer should be hanged, and every man who killed bhis wife quartered. The pext morning be resd of the Callahan murder, which scemed, on the fuce of it, 2 most atrocious’ crime. He determired sOme- thing must be done. He talked to several friends a call was gotten up, and a mass meeting held. He had, to his regret, to run it, ouly one of the prominent signers teing prescut, though the hall was foll. ~ He felt Le had struck & key-note, and if tho meeting was not prudently guided, they were not far from lyncb-law. He spoke to ihe effect that the mecting was to be a law- abiding one. Ho looked for a speaker. = He saw 10 one whom he dared to trust. But the meet- ing was s success, resulting in the selection of o good committee. Twenty-five were appointed, but only nine or ten atiended. Of the nine eyen, & majority were Temperance men. If that committee had asked for an enforcement of the Temperance law, was their work done? Noj the “very law wes defectivo; it was wrong to leave the fixing the penalty to the jury; and thero wero stil othér things to be dorie. While the Committee was at work an- other meeting was held in the interests of tem- perauce. Whiskey aud perhaps beer and wing did harm, The Germans had been much alluded to. He did not want them to forfeit the-esteem of his hearers. What theyhad done in com- erce, trade, etc., wes well known. He was op- posed to the repeal of the Sunday Liquor law, but wanted it modificd. They wanted to shut up low honses. Then have a law that said just that. He did not want a law that putnore- straint on selling liquor on Sunday, for the re- ligious sentiment must be respected. A Conference Committee he believed could settle the matter. He had dreaded a contest on that single issue, fearing it would result in the election of bummers as Aldermen. When the law was so changed 25 to suppress disorder on Sunday, they would then have a Christian Sab-~ bath, “‘The German and French Christians were good Christians, even if they did have o recrea- fion, as they called it, on Sunday afternoon, af- ter heying gone to church in the morning. He himself never gore to a saloon to take & drink. But if sny one joived ‘him, it became gociality, and the cup became a bond between them. He hoped next Sunday the law wonld be enforced. He had said he was opposed to the repeal of the law. He was no forty-eighter. He wanted the law modified 50,that a Cluistian could drink beer on Sunday. Though an Elector on the Grant ticket, he had made no speeches, for he was disgusted with Argerican politics their perzonalities. He had gigred the petition for Glade's pardon, end was sorry for it, but had refused to sign @ hun- dred others. He was glad of the exposure of Teed's recommendations, but would vote for him, since he was the best man. He hoped the Germans, Jrish, and_Americans would all join together to advance the interests of the Chrie- tian city of Chicago. THE BEV. MB. KIITREDGE mado a fow remarks favoring the banging of the murderer and of hanging beside him the man who gold the liguor wluch made him drunk. The issne was g0 great that it was of more con- sequence to Chicago than the Pregidential elec- tion. There were things of more consequence fhon party. They Lad come to neglect, in their interest in mational politics, the election of Aldermen and Representatives. Now, temper- ance men wero told that the question of the election of a Senztor merely was of 80 much consequence that everything else must be post- poned toit. He was opsoaed to any discrimina- tion in favor of beer-saloons, not regarding it practicable. He referred to their interview with the Mayor, and said they met with a Teproof, end were practically “told to mind their own business. Afterwardcame his proclamation. He would venture to say 5o cowardly & so-called proclamation conldnot be found in the annals of any city, [Great cheers] Ho did not know Lim, and perhaps the Mayor did not want to know him. Political considerations sometimes entangled s man. It was not so far from tho Mayoralty to a Senatorship, and thence the Gov- ernorship. Had he nobly and manfully met those who at & sacrifice of time went to help him, hie would have had a larger following than the kaloons would ever give him. It was the time for him to have mede his reputation for all time. He should have gone around and planted cannon in the streets, and there would have been no trouble. The good Mayor would come up o the scrateli, gradually but firmly The meefing then adjourned. SOUTH DIVISION. About one hundred and twenty-five people a8~ sembled in the First Baptist Church, Wabash avenue, near Hubbard Court, last evening, in response to & call issued by the Committee of Fifteen. The church, as is well known, is not in a very thickly-inhabited portion of the city, and this fact explains the small attendance. Among those present was the Hon. John Wentworth. When he walked up the aisle and took a scat, a great meny of the audience smiled; he, how- cver, seemed to have been to church before, as he picked up the hymn-book and commenced reading. Dr. Evarts and the Sexton approach- ed him and shook hands, and, as inferred from - negative shake of his head, probably invited him to take a seat in the pulpit. After prayer by the Rev. Arthur Mitchell, DE. EVERTS MADE A FEW REMARES, ing that all 1aws were restrictive andcoercive, o thoat the so-called natural froedom of every: body was limited, it being_surrendered for the good of thecommunity. The Sabbath wasgiven $o the world because the people needed if, and it should mot be annulled by o few men. All laws conld be attacked, if a prohibitory law could be, ‘because it was no more restrictive than the others. If laws which were objectionable to a few were erased from the statute book, what would become of society? If the Temperance law was enforced the statute book might be burned, for nearly all cxime would cease. The reverend gentlemean, if he had his way, would put_every drunkerd into the Penitentiary. He dilated st some longth upon the temptations offered to" weak humanity, and claimed, if tho caloons were removed from the sight of the | weak, intoxication would almost cease. Ruin and_destruction wounld overtake the country if the Sabbath was not properly observed, for God wonld not g’:: a people free government if they discarded His holy day. Sunday was needed for moral culture, to develop virtue, without which people would go to destruction. He believed whiskey and beer selling and drink- ing should be made outlawry, and punished as such. An attempt, it was smd, would be made to repeal the State law and the city ordinance prohibiting the trafic in intoxicating drinks on Sunday; the liquor interest was combined ; to avert the calamity, the temperance men should stand shoulder to shoulder, and vote_ for no man who wasin favor of effacing the laws from the statute books. BEY. ARTHUR MITCHELL was then introduced. He said there had been ‘much talk, but it Wwould do no good ; the issue mustbe met at the polls. The question wes, wers 5 majority of the people of Chicago in favor of free liquor on Sundey ? The liquor dealers would not leave a stone unturned to ensure success. Mfen were to be sent to the Legislature, and it depended upon the peoplewhether they should be 00d or bad—men who would retain and make 513 Jaw more stringent, ormen who would repeal it. He spokeof the State law, claiming that it “as just and right that liquor-deslers chould be for the injury they did to the S eod s tumily. Nothins could bo more ressonsble than that. Every merchant was Tesponsible for the injury he does to another, and why should the seller of wine, beer, or whiskey be exempt ? If Temporance men-wers not elected to the Legislature, the advocates of thecauseshould not be discouraged; 2,300saloon- keepers could ' not checkmate the Al- mighty, who wounld ses to it that the ~right triumphed in the end. If the Germans did not wish to keep the Sab- bath religiously, they had no right to_Leep it in such & way as to disturb those who do. ~ Upon qum]s which all conld stand on—as citizens,as overs of morality and virtue, as tax payers—the request that at least one-seventh of the time liquor selling should cease, was B reasonable one. If defeated, the temperance people should bide their time, work andpsy what was neces- sary to keep the subject bofore the people, cir- culate information that will eulighten ub- lic mind, and vote unitedly until God gave them 2 msajority, which He would do some dsy or other. DR. 'VIOKER made a brief nddrees, saying the only remedy for existing ovils was tho enforcement of tho laws. Remissness in tho Past’was no excuse for remissness now. FION. JOHN WENTWORTI was then called for. He made a characteristic speech, causing frequent outbursts of laughter. He was in favor of enforcing all laws, because they wero laws, end asserted that, if the whis- ey men elccted all the members of the Legis- laturo, noone of them would dare risk his roputation by moving tho repesl of the liquor law. Thore wes but one question before the people, and that was *Shall the law Le en- forcod ?” The Temperance men should not be frightened; the saloon leepers were laboring under the ‘hallucination that they could violate the law with impunity; if taught that they were wrong, like good citizens they would obay the aw. . o The meeting then adjonrned. NORTH DIVISION. A temperance meeting was held last evening at Brother Moody's Tabernacle, corner of North ‘Wolls and Ontario streets. REV. DB. PARKHURST was introduced as the speaker of the evening. He £aid he had been throngh thestreets of Chi- cago at almost every hour of the night, and was never afraid of doing so; but, lately, he did not dare to go on the sidewalk for fear some drunk- en fellow might kill him, and was confident that all present felt like him. The first movement was not made by the temperance men or the ministers, but by asseesins. Almost all the murders lately perfiatmted were committed by druoken men. Ho Lad the ssme right, and it iwas just as much his duty, to opposc the camso _ of crime as the crimo itsclf. He praised the Ohio tem- gcflnce law as the most just lew ever onncted. Was it not just that ihe men who sell the whis- key to percons, and make them 5o crazy that they kill somebody, be held responsible for it, especially as the men who sell whiskey were rich, iniluenticl, and controlled many votes? Those papers that say the Greeley men were at the bottom of this movement were uttering wil- ful lies, He was zehamed to live in Chicago when he read Mayor Medill's address statingthat the temperance lawcould not be enforced because the police were in_league with the rumsellers. It was ine Mayors duty to Lick out those oflicers. Tho Mayor, after thinking over this matter, thought better of it, and finally gave the order to Superintendent Washburn to close the saloons, end ho never before had scen such = quiet and’ peaceful day as a weck ago Iast Sunday, and everybody was glad of it excopt tho runv-sellers. A weel ago last Sunday he ?nssed the lager-beer ealoon at the North Side Turner Hall, the only saloon kept open on the North Side on that day. He there saw Mr. Rountree, the Republican candidate for the Leg- islature, coming out of the saloon WIPING THE BEER OFF HIS MOUTH. Mr. Rountres had done that to encourage those lager-beer guzzlers, and to get their votes, Could they vote conscientiously for such a man? Ho wasa Republican, and * fights mit Grant,” but when the party leaders come together in lager-beer saloons on the North Bide, he, for one, would not vote for them. The other doy he had to go to & lager-beer seloon to get regis- tered. He left the door wide open. because he wanted the people to see that he was not going 4 for the purposc of taking a glass of lager. 1t was about time that the feelings of respcota- ble people were respected. Four political bum- mers_had been to ree him, aund told him he would injure tho interests of GRANT AND CGLESDY by opposing the local whiskey-guzzlers. It was ridiculous to think that, by riot voting for Peter Mabr or Mr. Rountree, the interests of Grant would suffer. The only sufferers would be the ot-house politicians, “The raised by the opublicas papere and the pof-honse polifician was for the purpose only of making them tools in the bands of men who would use them as cley. Because they could not vote for the Re- publican candidates nominsted by the ward bummers, they, the ministers, got up a caucus at the vestry of Dr. Collier's church, which was just as good & place a3 a lager-beer saloon, and ooked around for good and true men who could be trusted by the people, and they per- ceived 2 man who Ioomed up above all others on the North Side,—it was the TRUE AND NOBLE COLONEL O. G. EAMMOND, and they nominated him for Semator. They looked around again and they saw another man looming up. It was General Buckinghom, the best man that ever lived, and they nominated him for Representative. - There were no other candidates on the North Side that could be trusted, end, therofore, tho people must sec to it that they are elected. He then TITCHED INTO HESRY GREENEBAUM for accepting the Presidency of the Committee of Tsenty-five, and refusing to aid in having the Sunday law enforced, which was the onl safoguard against crime. The papers would te the people terrible lies to-morrow morning, but be hoped they would not be deceived, and turn out like men and vote for Hammond and Buckingham. It was his duty to speak as he did just as much as o politician’s, and he was not out of his place by preaching olitics on Sundey. He was in favor of “ren- Eering unto Cmsar what bolonged to Cosar,” andunto God what belonged to God, and the best advice that he conld give them was to advise them to vote for true Christian men.

The members of the Lawrence family seem to be the animating spirits of the bunko swindle. If it isn't John, its Henry; and if it ien't Hen- 1y, it's some other fellow named Lawrence. Yesterday it was John, During the forenoon a complaint was lodged against him at Police Headquarters by an aged gambler from Michi~ gan, named Mason, who alleged that he had been swindled out of $50 at 8 o'clock in the morning, in the gambling-house No, 44 West Randolph strect, Ho could ot give the names of the parties who robbed him; ell he knew about them was that they were ‘a pair of.well-behaved and elegantly-dressed gentle- men.” Detective Simmons’ and Tyrrell took the ancient “sport” in tow, and started outona voyage of discovery, While the three were ly- ing concealed in 2 pawnbroker's shop opposite tho gembling hoso, old Masen priad onts ‘“There they go!” “They” were immediately arrested. One of them proved to be John Law~ rence, the keeper of the bunko bank. Mason, however, was mistaken about Lawrence's com- panion, whom he took for the roper-n,” and be was allowed to go fres.

A Colored Grant Company Engage in a Riot. : Three Policemen aund a Car-Driver Routed. Frequently during the present political cam- paign the colored Tannershave been unfor- tunate in getting into trouble with white spec- tators of their parades. Men and boys have been attacked by them on the public streets several times within the past three months; but the most flagrant out- rage of this kind was perpetrated last evening. Between 9 and 10 o'clock a colored com- pany of Third Ward Tanners, while marching on West Lake street, near Paulina, assaulted the driver of a street car because he had the auda- city to request them to open ranks and let him pass between. They were kicking and pounding him unmercifully when Sergeant Fox and officera Joseph and John Kenney ran up from the Union Parke Station, a short_distance away, and ordered them to desist, and march offabout their business, if they had any to attbnd to. Tho Teuners turned and attacked tho officers with torch-light handles and razors, and ’during the riot which followed Officer Kenney was badly cut in the head, evidently with & Tazor, and his clothes were litarally torn off of him. Officor John Kenney was severely beaten. The policemen succeeded in gain- ing ~ access = to Compbell's bakery, whither the mob _attempted to fol. low them, but failed. Sergeant Fox ram back to the station-house, pursued by a few ‘Tanners, and he was compelled to present a pistol at them, through 1 broken window, and threaten to shoot, befora they decided ot to enter the building and attack him. No arrests were made, owing to the fact that there were but thres po licemen at hand, and_these were unable to cope with the infuriated colored men. James Shelton, the Chief Marshal of the procession, is cntitled to crodit for his efforts to maintain peaco. A $30,000 BLAZE. Burning of the Mcchanical Bakery Company’s Building on North Cline ton Strecte=A Painful Eumor. Shortly before 11 o'clock last night an alarm, eounded from Box 273 for a fire in the four-story brick building Nos. 23, 25, and 27 North Clinton streot. The origin of the fire conld not be definitely ascertained, but to all out- ward appearance it started in the basement, and the flames were carried thence through the elevator hatchways to the upper floors. Befors the firemen had got fairly to work the interior of the building wes beyond saving, and the flames wore issuing from the windows on the slley at the north, seriously threatening the” store of TLarrabce & North and other stores on West Lake street. These wera saved from damago, howaver, by greet exertion. _The Clinton street building is owned by the old Me- chanical Bakery Company, and was_leased by Megsrs. Holfman & Gridley, grain_and commis- sion merchants. It was woztfimbably 818,000, and is damaged to the extent of about £6,000. Mesars. Hoffman & Gridley occupied the entire fourth floor 28 a storage warehouge, and the first floor of No. 27 as an office. They had in store about 8,000 bushels of oats and corn which, together with their fixtures. are valued at $3,500; insurance, 31,500 in the Northwestern National, of Milwaukee, and $1,300 in the Globe, of Chicago. The other occupants of the build- ing wero os follows: A. H. kett & Co., spico mills; Spalding Bros., saw manufacturers; Ezra' A._Cook, lithographer, stationer, Jand rinter; Doxel & Cowles, leathor menufactirers; . F. Bromner, baker. Theiraggregate lossos will reach probably £20,000. The exact amount of damage and insuranco could not be ascertained, 88 none of the owners or occupants of the build- ing, with the exception of Mr. Hoffman, were on the ground. It was reported that the agency of Miller & Drew have risks on building and stock. ‘There was g painful rumor in cireulation in tho vicinity of the firo that & young man named Dewitt Collins, an employe in the leather fac- tory, had been lost in the flames. Residenis in adjacent buildings on Lake street are confident that they heard crics of help issuing from tho burning building, ond eubsequently observed a men endeavoring to decend on & rope from one of the upper windows. They were niablo to state whether he succeeded in aping or mnot, a3 the thick smoko hid him m their view. "It is known thet young Collins slept in the building. — g ‘Wrought Iron Pipe.
