The Reform Club.

A very large attendance was had at the Reform club meeting yesterday afternoon.

Rev. W. W. Satterlee, the chaplain of the organization, read David's Lamentation upon Saul and Jonathan, from I Samuel. He then made an address and applied the teachings of the lamentation to the rebellion of the nation, in consideration of the near approach of Decoration day. He argued that the drink custom in the army had occasioned many serious mistakes on the part of the officers, who were frequently so incapacitated by intoxication that they led their troops into the very jaws of death and destruction. He claimed that intemperance was a much greater evil than slavery. "The firing upon Fort Sumpter by the slaveholders had resulted in the overthrow of the slavery system, and the firing upon the temperance organizations by the resolution passed at the recent Chicago convention, would result in the downfall of King Alcohol in America." Prof. Williston, of Carleton College, Northfield, followed in a powerful address in the same line of thought. He gave a number of instances of fatal errors made by commanding officers who were under the influence of intoxicants during the rebellion.

Rev. Mr. Lang, of Omaha, made a short but spirited address, ending with singing the "Teetotal Mill" in a very effective style.
