Hon. A. H. Stephen*.
Clms. Reemelin writes to the Cincinna
ti Commercial that Mr. Stephens regards
slavery as legally abolished through » .e
action taken by the States at the bidd’ g
of Johnson.
| We doubt that Mr. Stephens has ever

slavery is at an end ; that the <’>• -«ti n-

American Bible Society.
AUX1UABY BIBLE SOCIETIES, IN OEOROIA
AND FLORIDA, OFFICERS AND OTHERS.
The American Bible Society requires
one Agent to superintend the Bible work
in Georgia and Florida. As he canuot
visit all Auxiliaries annually, the more
will devolve upon their respective officers.
The Constitution of Auxiliaries calls for a
President, Vice-President, Correspond
ing Secretary, Treasnser and Executive
Committee of Five, one of whom is the
Chairman. Also a Depository. Those
officers shonld be elected at the Anniver
sary, and perform the duties usually
formed by such officers. It is important
that su<Jh Bible Society, should hold its
Anniversary meeting, whether
the Agent can attend.
Secretaries should have a substantial
blank book, in which to record all
official acts, and to have the records at j
the annual meeting. This is important,
and the attention of secretaries is
earnestly called to it.
Treasurers should also have a suitable
hook iu which to keep all the moneyed
transactions of the Society, keeping the
amount of sales and contributions sepa
rately, never paying out money * without
taking a receipt. Money on hand can
be forwarded to the Agent, or to Mr. A.
L. Taylor, Assist. Treas. A. B. S.
The Depositary may keep his account
simply by charging himself with the
amount of Books on hand at the begin
uiug of the fiscal year, and the amount

A Patriotic Suggestion.
The Jewish Messenger makes a power
ful appeal to the Jewesses of America to
complete the Nuthional Washington
Monument by their own individal sub
scriptions. That journal makes this ap
peal in the interest of gratitude and pa
triotism, saying in on eloquent article on
the subject:
We prefer that Israelites in America
should be Americans iu every relation of
life, and distinct only in their fealty to
the fai|h of their fathers. Nevertheless
it in fitting that the Jewish race, evt
vigorous and earnest'for liberty’s sak .
shonld record, in language not to l.e
mistaken, their recognition of the ines -
id able services rendered mankind by
Washington. The Jewesses of Ameri. i
will earn the kindest and most eodurr
acknowledgments pf America’s sol '
they will rear * proud monument foi
themselves, in working together for the.
accomplishment of this national dutv.
This is a patriotic suggestion and
inspired by a noble impulse. The Jtw- 1
esses of this country could do nothing
which would render their names .dearer
to the people of the United States than
to act upon the suggestion of tin " ' ‘

In a leading editorial of the Chris
tian Union of last week, Henry Ward
Beecher condemned the measure
pending in Cony.reea, commonly kuown
as the “ Ku-Klux hill,” os flagrantly un
constitutional,” and unwise us a measure
of policy. Upon the latter point lie says:
The attempt to secure order and mor
ality in the. South by Federal military
suasion, at this day, is an impertinence
not to be tolerated. Justice and order in
die Southern States are exceedingly de
sirable, but they cannot be imported
thither. The bayonet and the conscience
are never good friends. It may be need
ful to maintain the.frame work of society
and the form of government by force.—
Bat that done, force cannot malu
kind, just, generous, or peaceable,
en if force could work obedience, to use
force upon such a fcale in time of jieaoe

GENERAL DIRECTION!*.
1. All books should he sold at Cata
logue prices, which is the cost of the
Imoks. It is one of the glories of tbe
American Bible Society, that it has made
the Word of God the cheapest book in
the world.
2. The books should he carefully and
neatly kept, free from dust and injury,
and where they can be seen. Attention
should be called to them. Pastors should
notify their congregations where publi
cations of the society can be had No
tices in the city or town papers should
occasionally be given.
3. An assortment of books should be
?pt on band sufficient to meet a
able demand, and no more. Better to
make .requent orders than to accumulate
heavy stacks.
4. That the accounts between
rent Society and her Auxiliaries may be
correctly kept and known to the Ag'
who, in a measure is responsible for the
financial condition of the Auxiliaries, it
is recommended that orders for books lie
made through him, or if made directly
to tbe Bible House, the Agent shonld be
notified to tlm date, and amount of bill,
with which the Auxiliary is charged.
i. Officers should have their reports
carefully, prepared and ready for the
Annual Meeting.
6. II your society has not recently can
vassed its field, select some suitable per-
ton, confer with the agent, and have this
important work done, if possible, the
present season.
7. Auxiliaries shonld not make dona
tions of books aud then charge the Pa
rent Society with them. Every Auxili
ary’s benevolent work should be at its
own cost. Donations of tanks will fu
made by the Parent Society to Auxiliary s
upon official application, indorsed by the
Agent.
Orders for taoka should bemldress
ed to the Geoeral Agent, and muae fropj
the Society's Catalogue, using the unrn-
ber aud the price, always giving tl»e date
of the Price List.
9. Officers are earnestly requested to
be prompt iu answering letters.
10. Corespondeuce is solicited from
those who desire to inter the work pf
canvassing for any of the Bible Socie
tii a.
In conclusion, dear Brethren, Offic x
of Bible Soc eties, Ministers aud mem
bers’of all Prut* stout Churches, let m
give this cause our prayers, and that
tent ou it demands. Many. countits are
