The BTiMfcllml .Alliance.
Tlii: above nam.it body i* boldin';
it* tiiird no lion in N-w York. It la com
p-wed of a Urge number ill delegate*
Iron) all part* of the. world and ot ail le
ft ni.ination* except CiUbolica.
There ale a large nundier of very lei I ti
ed, wine and good men ig thi* assembly,
but, if we understand tlie object of the
order or as* >ciatlun or whatever it ia, we
tiitnk tbeir view** are ei«lonary uiid that
they are undertaking to accomplish an
i.aje»s«il*itity, that in, the harmonizing of
all the different Christian dcnomniations
except the Catholic*, on some general and
univemallv accepted tenets of the Christ
ian fai'h, leaving out nud laying aside all
point* of difference n*' to faith ami doc
trine and dogma upon which they cannot
agree.
Wc <io not believe that men will ever
agrer on anything. Political unity and
univerautity of belie! i* impOHtble and
yet wdo not lielieve it to be »o utterly
bopelc** a* Christian unity.
Much as this Christian unity may la
desired and bcautifnl ns it may appear in
theory, practically it is an impost!! ifity,
and all efforts to cstshllsb it result only
in a wi ’er separatum, a greater diversity
of opinion and a more bitter and hostile
feeling between the different sect*.
Why are the Catholic* It'll out 1 Arc
there no grand, cardinal religious truths
upon ■which the Catholic and Protestant
ran agree 1 Why not include them In
this grand scheme ol Christian unity?
They could mix and mingle in brotherly
love with the members <d 'lie Alliance as
well a* Mclluxlists and Baptists, Presby
terians, Episcopalians, UnivcraalUta,
Campbclitcs ami the thousand and one
other denominations.
But, much a* it Is hi be regretted tlnil
there a-u so uiaiiyjsecu iimlai mtch di
versity oi opinion where nil should be
unity and concord, any attempt to unify
to great a nundier of discordant elements
is, in our bumble judgment simply chi
merical.
The several hundred delegate* to this
Evangelical Alliance will doubtless have
a good time in New Y'oi> during their
stay. They will eat some most supurb
dinner* and drink much of thu best
rbsuipsgna manufactured m ibis country.
The foreign element will have »n oppor
tunity of seeing the thing* in the now
world. The delegate* will also create
some little sensation in the great metropo
lis, and the paper* throughout the land
will chronicle their action. Home good
aud many inferior sermon* will lie preach
ed by the delegate* and senaulion preach
ers iu New York..
Many w ise, though common-place reso
lutions will lie passed by thu assembly in
regard to ChrUtiun unity utul many beau
tiful a.ldres»cs will be made filled with
idea* of brotherly love and universal
oat-ncss with evcrylsidy. Then the dule
g tea will ail go home nud nothing more
he heard from them till next time.
Hut, at last there will he no Christian uni
ty. Oil and winter will not mix, neither
can the views of Dr.McCodi and the Dean
of Canterbury Iw made to appear to lie
similar no matter Hint great an effort these
learned and diiiafigulslmrl gentlomen may
attempt to deceive tltvuweUes aud the
world on that point.

Uut Call, Bvrunsc Last
thanre.
Jfr. Editor: Doubting Thomases nre
still to be found, Last week our Asso
ciation did not speak over a signature
sufficiently authoritative. This time there
thuil b- ■ real signature.
The question i* still Is'ing asked, even
in our own midst, and by those who read
your last paper.-‘will there be a fair?"'
The answer is emphatically, yet. At least
so fur n* the Assoc iation is able to aceom
pl nil the net, with the aid ot all whom
they may lie able to enlist in w hat they con
sider n good cause. T!:C public aecmuil
to think liecnusc there was a money panic
and famine, I here could be no fair; Hnd
some associations have yielded to the
pressure. But w e could not afford to take
that view of tluugs. Contracts and obli
gation* with and to others forbade, and
we determined to do our duty, and if
uidortnualuly I In-re should be u failure,
the Maine should art lb: at onr door. So
despite the failure (full handed) ol Jay
Cooke & Cos., Clews i Cos., el id muM go
nun, the great bugbear, scarcity of money,
is giving way. The needful is becoming
more plentiful. Already easy in our mar
ket city and giving way here, a* evinced
by tlie price cotton now commands on our
streets, We ate cheered and strengthen
ed, and are realizing another illustration
of the old adage of difficulties vanishing
w hen looked fully in the face tintl met
with a determination to drive them back
at all hazard*.
Once more, we ask undecided people
to stand out of the way nnil croakers to
cease. Join in with us and given ltenrty,
cheerful, telling co-operation, ns wc claim
we deserve. We nrc aware and fully re
alize that there is work, hard work to be
done, before and during the fuir. But
we are able-bodied men, nre willing to do
all within our power and we are assured
tl ia with the help we count on from our
well withers, will work wonders.
Once more, let every one feel as if all
devolved on him or her, and each one put
them -elves in u position to say afterwards,
“we had a nice, successful (air,” and not
to say, “I knew the cow would cat the
grindstone.”
Ladies and gentlemen, who linve time
to spare, nre requested to meet nnd aid in

President.
The Time to Resume,
Tlie following from the Tribune shows
wlmt it think* about a very nice question:
The country S* passing its grandest op
portunity since the war. There lias not
been since the passage of tiic Legal Ten
der act any financial situation or crisis
that so held out all Its hnnds inviting to
resumption. Shall wc let it go by f Tin
crisis calls lorn firm hand, n clear head,
nud determined purpose; that,* all. It
requires no superhuman wisdom to dis
cover our disease, or any profound politi
cal science to detect its cause. We halt
between palliation and cure. Here's nil
hour's work with the knife, or an endless
stretch of splints and bandages, lotions
and plasters, opiates and stimulants; with
recurring paroxysms, spasms, and convul
sions, and never sound health in body or
limb. Shall it bu surgery or quackery i
We must choose between them. To-day’s
opportunity is for the country, for the
dominant party, ior the President, who
has but to put forth his hand and seize it
to make himself a great name, and give
Ids party the new prestige that it needs,
and establish it firmly iu power uud lift
the whole country up to pure uir and sol-”
hi ground
Let the President issue his proclama
tion convening Congress in an extra ses
sion at eight or ten day*’ notice, with the
sole object, distinctly stated in the call,
of legislating for the immediate resump
tion oi specie payments. For ten days
past people lixvo done almost nothing but
stand in trout of their balance sheets nnd
inventories and see a rapid and constant
shrinkage in values. And there's no
knowing where it w ill atop or when, for
the simple leasem that there is no financial
Imrdimn It line been abolished by law.
For eleven years we have gone on doing
business with irredeemable premises. We
have taken notes of each other and paid
them with tlie notes of the Government,
which themselves were without relations
to anything having n fixed value—unsta
ble and irredeemable. So long ns we are
content to do business upon the system ol
renewals, giving and taking new notes
tor old ones—w ith the Government sot
ting the example—we seem to be prosper
ous and healthy—wc grow up in full en
joyment of the dropsy, or rather wo bulge
out like the Graphic balloon into beauti
ful proportions, with a “rip line'' hang
ing within everybody's reach. Then comes
a time -it has come to us—w hen people
begin to enquire tv hat the paper re pre
sents aud to grope for a standard of val
ues. Everything tumbles, nud business
stands still except in bankruptcy courts
till that standard is- reached. I ait us knvu
that established by resuming specie pay
ments. Wc have had quite enough ol
ballooning; enough of tliia running spec
ulation mail, of kiting slocks, of laying
railway ties on moonbeam*, giving mort
gages cm log banks, and calling ourselves
stout because we have gorged ourselves
with the cast wind.
Home time we must get back to specie.
That's admitted. Why not now? When
will there tie a better timet When wwld
tire country be more benefitted by it titan
now? Then ought tube statesmanship
; enough in Congress to devise a simple,
I practicable method. It ik uot the pro
! viuce of journalism to legislate, and legis-
I l*tun* arc proverbially jealous of iuter
j fereucc with their functions by the press.
i Wc suggest nothing except that Congress
| tot summoned together for this pnr|K>sc
} and this o»ly, not to putty over and tink
er up matters, but amply to legislate lor
resumption.
NAN 41/AN MIXING REGION.
A Country fiarpasslng the Wild
est Drcatns of El Dorado.
DknVeb. C’At,., Septemlitr 17. —Thom
as C. Cree, Secretary of the Board oi In
uian Commissioners, arrived litre to day.
He brings with him a copy of the Ute
treaty, signed ley the Indiana. In company
w ith six Indian chiefs, Mr. Cree spent
some time exploring the new purchases.
They visited the San Juan mining region
j and report it immensely rich in gold, sil
ver. copper, lead, iron and coal. Five
hundred valuable lends have been located,
and one mine, the only one tuily tested is
yielding, with poor machinery, SI,OOO
per day. This mine—the little giant
sold without legal title to a Chicago com
pany for $-500,000, and since tlie treaty is
worth $1,000,000. It is expected, with
the improved machinery now cn route,
that it will yield $25,000 gold per week.
A mire with better indications on the
same lead is negotiating for at $150,000.
The ore from this lead yields from two to
five thousand dollars per ton.
Another gold lend, undeveloped, yields
eight thousand dollars per ton. The
country is equally rich in silver, one lead
being very rich in a vein six feet thick.
Another yield pay in a forty-foot vein.
There arc immense vein* of eftpper crop
ping out on the surface, none of which
sre taken up. Iron ami cool lie in close
proximity, the latter ot superior quality
fur smelting purpose*. Fifty town lots
were located on news of the treaty being
signed. The country is immensely rich,
nnd with cn| itsl to develop*) it isgood
for a hundred million precious metals.
Mr. Cree and party spent several days in
the saddle, crossing three main ranges of
the Uncompnigne nnd San Juan moun
tains, crossing at altitudes of 12,500 to
13,000 (cct in the open air, riding through
rain nnd snow, over steep trails mid
through fallen timber, swamps and rocks.
They report the country the grandest in
the world lor mountain scenery. At one
point they saw a hundred peaks 14,000 to
10,000 feet high. The mining region is
surrounded by ns good a chain of moun
tains as are in the country. The country
acquired contains four million acres of
most valuable mining land.
Tub meanest man lias been found
again. Ho visited Atlanta the other day,
and hitched his team to a fence, pulling
an old sack of oats out from under the
scat, he proceeded to feed the iiorses.
Then lie produced a speckled hen from
the wagon, and tying her with a string to
a wheel, he left her to pick up the last
oat.
Fued. Dohulam offered a suggestion
to the negroes of Nashville, in his speech
tlia other day, that wits timely and perti
nent. They were making a little more
noise than there was any occasion for,
am) ho reminded them that the gourd
that was the hoi lowest sounded the
loudest, and the worst oysters were those
that kept tilth- mouths always open.
