7 rel TT SL SS LOCAL AFFAIRS. ‘Temperance Meeting. RECEPTION OF JUDG O'NEALL, OF SOUTH CAROLINA, BY THE @KDSE OF THB SONS OF TRMPERANCH- Last Thursday evening, a meeting for the above purpos® was held in the Methodist Episcopal Church im Greene atreet—Adam Clarke Flanagan, Esq., Grand Worthy Patri- arch, in the chair, ‘The exercises commenced with singing by the choir of the chureb; after which, W. IL. Oakley, Eeq., leader of the Alleghanians, gave temperance hymn, accompany- ing himself on the melodeon. ‘'rayer was then repeated by the Rev. R. 8, Foster, after wich another temperance ode was sung by Mr. Oskley, followed by singing by the eboir of the church. ‘On the platform, as well ae in the body of the ehureh, wore seated the members of the Order of the Sons of Tem- perance. whe appeared im-full regalia, for the purpose of reeviving Judge John B, O'Neal, of South Carolina, M. W. Patriarch of the National Divisioa, who had beca specially invited on che present occasion. The members of temperance orders present were the Sons of Temper- ance, Daughters of Temperance, and Cadets of Tem- perance. Previously to the commencement of the exercises of the evening, the Chairman begged that there would be ny noiry demonstrations of applause manifested by the audience—that they would have due respect to the pla nwhbich they were seated, and confine their expression of opinion at what might be done or uttered to clapping Iwith the b. asavy stamping with the feet would not be allowed by the trustees of the church. After the exercises ulrendy mentioned had been gone through, Judge O'Nea.t rose up and addressed the audience to the following purport, having been introduced by the Chairman, and received with flattering applause :— Nothing could possibly give me greater pleasure thin he fact of being here to night. I have been long ea- jaged in the temperance cause in the South, and [am rejoiced to meet you on the present occasion in tha Empire city, the metropolis of the Empire Stete. My purpose to night is to speak of temperance; it is to me ‘an old subject, and [shail endeavor to explain to yoa my thoughts respecting it. all that I propose to do ts for its adyaveewent, and for that I have left my home, come here to this city, and am journeying on to the | ‘West, that my days may not have been spent in vain. I | stand before you to-vight as the head of the Order, and would wish to speak 6f the claims of the Sons of Tempe rance, of whem nearly half # millioa we band together— claims that are founded upon the principles of love, purity and right. I ask you to cast your eyes around, ‘aud where have not the Sons of Temperance done gooi— where have they not reclaimed the drunkard and re- turned him to Lis proper positisn? I willnot, however, delay you upon this branch of the subject, but speak more particularly of temperance. Everybody ‘ays that it i# rigut, aud the question therefore naturally oceurs, why do you not, then, unite with us, or does teere | exist something ee’ective in the human character, whieh | does not allow of its pursuing what is right? Letusask | ourselves how long bas the temperanoe prineiple existed ? | Nos thirty years, aud the total ab-tinence canse much | Jess. Yet how great bas been its progress! It is foucd | in the palace and in the cottage on the mountain top | ‘and in the deepest glen, on the Steppes of Mussia an over every part of Europe Proud are we to say that it owes its Origin to Amerloa, on the soil watered by the Dlood of our forefathers. The inquiry naturally arises, from where does the opposition come? Why are not ail ‘united with us? The sauses are as various as mankind. But ‘the grand reason isthat men love intoxicating drink, aud lust after the intoxicat bowl. Let us examine the dif- rent excuses urged by those who are unwilling wo sign the pledge. One says that there is no necessity for his doing it. He canbe « temperate man well enough witheut it, aud therefore he has no need of signing it. Another says jhe eannot sign the pledge because, if he did so, he would De sure to break it. But the great objection urged against the temperance organization is thet it is unneces- gary, as if mutualassosiation was not required for every- thing, for it is certain that if the temperance cause were to de Bd only upon individual sxartion eA would ee ittle progress. The objection urged agaiast the , that we will break it, isjfutile, for lam well aware t individuals will say we can take a pledge to our- selves and can keep it. Tbe nnreasonableness of this ar- gument can be better met with au Uustration drawn from eal life, than by snything ~ In Fush Carolina, and haps in other parts, it Zor people, when jourseying, to earry about wise Mon zal cket bottle, covered with wicker, called ia tu.. siickler, Now, there was a gentleman, a Brigade cr, whoeo brother was 8 Brigadier General, and. him geit s boon companion, who foreswore all drinking until th following Christmas—that period when the military parades were in activity. He set out for areview with his con- ader, who were well provided with their bottles, which they did not fail to pull out on approaching the tirst stream of water, to take a drink. The major stood aleof and refused to joia with them. The same was repeated at the next stream, and one of them proposed that the mejor should be made to drink, which he was forced te do, volens. This experimeat was repeated again and again on the major, until he had acquired » new re- Hish for the liquor, and forgot hia former vow, and at last be remarked, in pa-siiy $o funnel again?” (1 ughter.) Another difficulty is temperate dricking. Temperate drinking ts the begianiag of drunkenness. ‘there is more danger to a family in @rinking temperately than in soything else. The habit is thus contracted in early boyhood, which cao be astly Mlustrated by an instance that occurred in the South. There was.a certain Judge, a staunch fedsraliet, one of the old sebovl, wh» had a son accustomed to gee diinking carried on temperately. One mprving, while walking in his piazza, who should he see but his son, who had attended the night previous a democratic meeting, lying dead drunk before him on the ground. The Judge's ive was roused and ne expressed bis sorrow | in the following words :—“‘Drunk, drunk, as a drank demo- | erat!” Conyiviality is often the cause of this vice—the man who will set the table in « roar, is too often its vie- tim. Is it, then, recessary to argue the question, whether temperate crinking is good? None but he who has be- ome the slave of the habit would do so. Look around bi Often said that a little drink is usefal for susplying strength to the frame when exhausted with labor or fa- tigue; but this view was erroneous. There is another elass of men who are wilting to join any temperance so eiety, but it must always be with « qualification, as, for instance, I remember a man, called in his district Wicked Will, who was induced to sign the pledge, and took it ‘dmto his head that he would likewise conve: neighbor, who wen: by the name of Old Horse; so he goss to him and rays: “Old Horse, you must sign the pledge. “Well, then,” replied the of you have done #0 much, I don’t mind going half The cause of tem- perance is like the fable of Sisyphus, who had to rolls stone up hill; but as soon as it arrived at the top it escaped his p, and rolled down again. So it was with their cause ral suasion had been exerted sufficiently, and now they must try legislative action to make the rumsellers desist from their trade. This is exemplified by the tale ef the 38 the apples, who, after they had been tried ‘with fair words, were induced at last by the application of stones, that the old man threw, ‘tree. So it was wiih the grog shop keepers; they would ‘then be very bumbie, and expres their contrition tuat they bad ever been engaged in such a dirty business. {Applause ) With regara to tae Maine liquor law, I be that it will effect a greater reformation than anything ever enacted, by putting #+top to what is now legal- ised traffic, both in New York and South Carolina. Had | the time, I could place before you annais of crime, ‘as known to me, by my official position of forty years, t have been occasioned by the abomisable habit ef drink: ing. A great deal of the temperance reform is attriout- to females, who can do much by their exertions. It ia not a common thing to see women drunk, but yet that ‘will sometimes occur, of which I will give you an ansedote of North Carolina, “These lived beyond the little Pedoe River, a gentleman who held the title of Major, and dealt in goods and intoxicating driuks—on the other side of the river, there were aa old couple who uied to come | acrors to purchase what they wanted of their opposite weighbor, who made it a rule always to give the couple | The old lady was so ouch charmed, | that under the influence of the liquor, ahe would always | two glasses of drink. ontheir journey back be praising the Major as a mighty elever wan, aud so forth, which at last by its re- petition annoyed her hgsband. Ove day, a4 usual, they bad taken a journey to the Mjasor’s, the wife seated in the old fsshioned manner, bo- hind her husband, on the same horse. As usual, the Major plied his customers well wich liquor, and on their | return the old lady was chanting doubly the praise: of the Major, so that her husband, at last irritated, bade ler to stop her prate; at this time they bad got to the other side of the river, aad the hosband, not hearing his wife's Glatter any further, concluded that she was vexed at his words, and remarked, “So you are mad at what [ have been saying, and won't speak” When he got homo his first words were, “ Ah. boys, see how mad the old woman is; she won’t speak ;” but behold, when they wen: to assist the couple to dismount, the old woman was not | there. They immediate'y went off in search of her, and found 4er battling wi:b the ‘rent, neck high, the water Peu:tog into her mouth, the old woman hiceuping out che whole tune, ough, Major, enough; the liquor is very , but Thave had suficient.”’ (Laughter.) Ho en ted the mothers to take care of the early education of their children; it was to his mothe teaching that the world ‘was indebted for such ® man as Doddridge:and, in like manner John Raadotph, of Vir: ginia, used to say that he would have been an jafidel ‘when he becams imbued with the @ritiags of the school of French philosophers, had it not beea for the early teacuings of his mother. He knew that mothers were sometimes too partial to their childewn, and could not 6 that they would do soy wrong: but constant watchfulness most be preserved. It reminded hin of an old lady in Pennsylvania, who had a gon, called Joe. Joe was accustomed to pars the nights out of doors, drinking unknown to the oid lady, who used te expresa hor suc prise at the quantity of coffee tuat Joe would deink in the morning, and remarked that he ought to drink some wa- ter over night. One nigh‘, however, she stupped up mach later than urual, and Master Joe liked ia, and tried w eonceal his condition, which was too avpareat, from bis thick, indistinet manner of talking. At last Joe, wis could mot keep still, vo the astenishment of his mother, walked up to the chimney board, and had bold of what he thougne to bea segar, which he putin his mouth acd attempred tolight. This drew the following remark from his mo ‘ther:—“If thes don’t koo*, Jos, atwentypeavy nail fro & wegar, thee better go to bed.’”” He would likewiso Urge upon wives the neesssity of watchfulaess; nor did he know any condition more deplorable thaa that of a wife ‘Married to a drunken husband, condition he would @ompare to that of the Siamese twins, with one living hile the other was damd; or to that of Maneppa tied on fo the living horse, flesing through the wilderness, with pack of wolver howling by his side.

Mrs. Boyd, pointing towards me, replied, “Put her out;”” we had oot been told to leave the house, nor did I dare Mrs. Boyd to put meout of the house, or say I would not go; I did not have time to say auything after Mr. Boyd was told to put us out until he’shoved ms to the deor and kicked me; I did not go into the house again; Mr. Boyd banded the bandbox to Eliza snd she handed it o me; Mrs. Boyd had not found any fault with the work I had done on Saturday; I did not say I was more used to work on shirred than on straw hate; the usual custom is not to pay by the pieoa, but at the end of the week Eliza Hall sworn.—This witness corroborated the previ ous wituers’s statement in nearly every pa:ticular. The case on the part of the people here rested. Ivabella Boyd sworn on the part of defence, said—Miss Ellen Sendison came to work on Saturday, and worked all dy; nothing was said as to her not doing’ her work well; on Monday morning I came into the store as my sister was taking some material out of a box to give Miss Sandi- son the bounets to make; my sister asked her if she could make a soft crown hat; she said yes; the other girl Eliza) stood at the counter and asked for work: my sister fald she had not got any work to give out of the shop, but if she weuld come to her house she would give her work; she said she had good work in the city aud could not leave it; my sister asked Miss Sandison what she would ebarge to make two pink bonneta; she replied she could not tell until she had dene the work; my sistar asked her if she could not form some opinion, raying she had no objection to paying a reasonable price provided the work was well ‘and told her that she hed to undoa groat ‘Misa Sandison) had done on that she had not been used to working on straw work; I do not remember hear- ing anything said about cotton or two ceats, by my nister. ‘The case was here adjourned until one P.

Court of Speelal Sessions. Before Judge Beebe, Aldermen Compton and Ward. Juxe 3,—The Court met this morning at the usual hour, A large amount of business was transacted, but it was of avery light character. The crimes consisted, as usual, | of assaults and batteries and petty larcenies. SENTENCES, Family Jars—James Cronan was sent to the City prison for fitteen days, for committing an assault on hiv better half, in the street. The complaiuant bosought the Court to mitigate his sentence, or he would in all proba- bility have bad the extreme pleasure of serving the city, for the next six months, on Blackwell’s Island. Caution to Rowdies —A man named Benjamin Leet, was charged with committing an assvult upon a Mr. Kirkwood, by striking him on the head with a stone. The complain: ant stated that he gave the prisouer no provocation whatever, and never spoke to him in his life. The prison- er being an old offender, the Court sentenced hm to be confired in the Penitentiary for three months, remarking that they would put a stop to throwing stones in the streets. i Not Economical, ty any Means —A native of the Emerald Isle, named Hugh O'Connor, was charged with assaulting officer O'Connor with a brickbat, cutting him severely in the face. Judge—What did you strike the officer for ? Privoner—’Pon my honor I know nothing about it. Judge —Can you pay a fine of ten dollars Prisorer-I ave werked for Mr. Aldridge for four yoars past; but Ihave mot had ten dollars for the last seven years. (Laughter.) i ‘Judge—As you cannot pay a fine, the Court will sen- terce you to the City prison for twenty days. Prisoner, (his face radiant{with smiles)—Thauk you, yer jonor. He was then conducted back to prison, thanking his stars that he eseaped being sent to the penitentiary. Assault and in Court. —Chew Sc! who pleaded guilty on Friday last to ebarging him with eommitting a violent as-ault and battery om Alfred E. Baker, reporter of the Hema, wes pauline up to reeeive the sentence of the Court. Judge Beebe stated that as he wes acquainted with Mr. Baker and Mr. Schnebly, and in the daily habit of meet- ing them in court, he had left his two associates to agree upon a sentence. "He had himself expressed his opinion in the matter; and that if the aldermen could not agree, | be would then dispose of it himself, ‘The Judge laugh- ingly left the bench. ir. Baker ofered to show, dy witnesses then {n court, the extent ef injury inflicted on his eye by Schnebly, but the Court did not appear to wish the evidence. ‘The two Aldermen, Compton and Ward, after delibe- rating afew moments, sentenced the defendant to pay ® fine of $50, To this judgment Judge Beebe assente | Mr. Baker (the complainant) appeared surprised at the sentence, remarking, with all due de‘erence to the Court, he would sooner they had acquitted the defendant entirely than to impose a fine upon him, as he regarded the sentence equivalent to an ‘acquittal. ‘Alderman Compton—Mr. Baker, the Court have given their decision ; therefore there remarks are unnecessary. Mr. Baker—Yos, rir, 1 understand you ; I was only giving my private opinion, I will never trouble tne @ourt i again. ‘The defendant then complained bitterly of the way in which he had been slandered. The report, stating that he made an attempt to gouge Mc. Baker’s eye out, had gone all over the United States. Even in his native State, it was inserted in all the papers. His feelings had been very much hurt, indeed. He comsidered. the sentence of the Court to be ur just. Judge Beebe—If any more remarks are made in refer- ence to this care, I will positively commit the offender. One party here is a lawyer, and the other a reporter, and both of them are complaining of the unjustness of the sentence. Order being restored, the defendant paid the required fine, and left the Court in high dudgeon. 3 = te) 4 City Intelligence. Srizxmp CatTLe anp Suexr Exmerrioy.—Among the nomerous attractions that are concentrating themselves nthe neighborhood of the Crystal Palace, we would particularly draw attention to an exhibition of prize cattle and sheep, belonging to Mears. Helabird, Bishop &Co., that are really well worthy of inspection. The number of animals exhibited is small, consisting of eleven head of cattle and a few choice merino sheep; but for size and weight, they surpass anything that we ever be- fore remember seeing. and we believe we are warranted asf that the Smithfield show of prize le, an: nuaily exhibited by che Royal Agricultural Society of England, never offered to public notice sueh a collection of cattle as the viaiters to the approaehing World’s Fair, and our citizens in general, have now an opportunit; of beholding. Among them ls a pure white heifer, call the “Pride of Kentucky,” from the farm of Henry Olsy, which is so tame that even an infant might handle it wh impunity. This extraordinary docility {s, however, characteristic of all the cattle on exhibition, which may be partly owing to their immense bulk, but is rather at- tributable t the care bestowed upon them, so that the most timid female may xot be under the least rehension. Another animal of extraordinary size is = four year old heifer called Jenny Lind, which {4 eatimated to weigh about 4.200 pounds, a cross of ke Durham and Deyon breeds Two thousand dollars have been offered and refused for this really splendidanimal. Another at- tractive spectacle of this show are two twin oxen from the jont stock of Henry Clay and Dr. Watts, which only require to be seen ip order to obtain general approbation. Apart from other considerations, their perfect resem- blance in color, size. weight and bulk, is quite asto: ing; they are ce perfect twias in everything aa Shaks- peare’s Dromics, and beat the Siamere twins hollow for xpiformity of appearance. Another splendid antmal, pond Tom Corwin, is of matchless size; iiss short hornes Durham, raised in Ohio, and weighs about3 800bs. Indeed, too proper justice we rhould be obliged to go through the whole list cereatim, for amovg such maguifi- cent cattle it is impossible to elect; they al! are superi- or, and therefore 1\ js invidious to particalarize one above the other. To tay Which is the best would ba an impos- sility, for if the expremion may be allowed, they all are best, and we thonld be vtey Joth to have to make a lection of ore which might se considered superior to the others. Yesterday, by specu] invitation, the princioal butchers and cattle dealers of our city visited tas exhi- dition, ard unanimously gave thew most unqualified ap- probation of the animals presented te their view. Tue WeaTier.—Notwithstanding the comparatively ad- vanced period of the summer, for it is to be recollected that we are now in June, the warmth by no means is very great, at least not oppressively so, the thermenoter yea- terday at noon being st 73, and on the previeus day (Thursday) considerably less, when it was only at 66 de- grees—an tnusnally low state of the temperature for thia period of the year. Towards evening, however, of yester- day the thermometer rose to 76, which was ita hhelght at 6P.M.. and the night continued very warm, There was abeautiful display of sheet lightning in the course of the night, which, from the eircumstance of its being general ly ipnocuous, might be admntved without any alloy to the gratification. About 11 o'clock, ‘a tremendoas fall of rain took place, accompanied with thunder and lightning, which continued until our geing to press, Tur Peuice amp Tae OpsrRvcTIONS IN Broapway.—In consequence of the continued obstructions caused by stages, certs, &c., in Broadway, from Fulton atreet te Maidew lane, the Mayor has deputed two polies officers specially for that portion of the city, for the purpose of keeping order and compelling the stage drivers, and drivers of other vehicles, to pass along with as little delay ox porsivle, At many periods through the day it is impossible for persons to cross the street, and it bs- comes quite amusing to see the two police officers, Moore and Mahon, escort, (or it roight be called pilot) the ladies acrors the street. Sometimes the officer will have under his charge haif « dozen of pretty yousg Jadies in the mid- dle of Brosdway, surrounded by ve and praucing horses, but the “‘star’’ breasted pilot conveys them over tafely much to the gratification of those cro.sing, and to the amusement of the passing spectators. The plan adopted by t.e officers is a great convenience to persona wishing to cross the street, New Eriecora, Cuurcn at Yorxvitte --On Wednesday fast a new irotestant Episcopal Church was consecrated at Yorkville, by Bishop Wainwright attended by a large body of the clergy of that denomination. The architeo- ture of the building is of that description called the early Englith, being furnished externally with buttresses at the angles and series of the same on each side.
