Dssiior Lee, of tho Episcopal Diocese
of Iowa, writes affectionately to Bishop

movement for a separate organization.

Til* First Presbyterian Church was
organized in tho city of Hew Orleans in
tho year 1823. In 1832, in conscqucnco
of tho defection of Itcv. Mr. Clapp to tho
Unitarians, tho number of members was
reduced to eighty-nine. Now there nre
nino organized churches, with two or
three hopeful mission stations, nearly
two thousand communicants, with about
twenty-three hundred children in their
Hunilay-sehools.

It is now nearly ninety years since
Swudenborgianism was first openly pro
claims) in this country, and yet tho
Ki.w-.i 1,..liovers in his views do not
number over four or five thousand. The
first society was organized eighty years
ago, in Baltimore, where tho regular at
tendants do noMnxcecd ono hundred ami

tendanoo is about two hundred, nud in
New York nnd Brooklyn not to exceed

A piecb of clastic stone was recently
exhibited in St. Louis, which had been
quarried near Goldsboro, N. C., and has
been presented to the St. Louis Universi
ty. It is a bar of white sandstone, ono
foot in length by ono inch in width and

tion, returning with n spring, when sud
denly loosened, to its proper axis. It may
also he compressed with a slightpressnro,
or extended, and it recovers its sliape as
readily ns caoutchouc or India ruber.
Tub Now York Times has found voice
enough to remark that the bar every
where appears to be a unit against Mr.
Williams’ confirmation ; that his fitness
lias boon impugned on grounds that are
" apparently very strong and that the
Senate cannot shirk its responsibility
without doing itself great injury. It
thinks there can he no doubt of the
president’s “ perfect good faith,” hut is
impressed that ho “ may have been mis
taken in his selection of this particular
man."
A RERiatous movement not unlike tho
Cummins soccssioa was attempted fifty
years ago. In 1S23 tho Rov. Mr. D.t-
shinll, of Maryland, a man of great piety
and learning, seceded from tho Protest
ant Episcopal Chnrcli, and with half a
dozen other clergymen attempted tho es
tablishment of a church similar in form
but different somewhat in dogma. Ho
was successful only so far ns the co-op
eration of the associate founders went.
When he and they died the now church
died with them.
Avi'.uits is Charlestox.—Tho News
and Courier, speaking of tho httsiness of
Charleston, says that in cotton receipts,
while Charleston lias a gain of S0.S34
balsa, nnd Norfolk 21,232, New Orleans
lias h loss of 29,290, Mobile of 3f.$0fb Sa
vannah of ll,03t!, Galveston of 20,001,
and Wilmington of !HH>1—and this not
withstanding tho circumvention of our
port by opposition lines of railways in
every direction. Tho cotton receipt, of
Charleston have increased from 39.SS2
hales in 1805 to 208,071 in Is73.
The Albany Argus fires this centre
shot: “The President draws his salary
at the rate of $30,000 a year—the double
pay. Seventy-seven thousand dollars
were appropriated Ivesides for White
House expense-!, making in all $127,000
in one year. All this extravagance is in
dulged in while the treasury is bank
rupt. and the people are asked for in
creas'd taxes to the tune of $42,000,000 !
And yet the voters ore asked to keep the
Republican p:u-ty in power because it
will insure stability and secure oeonomy!"
A Long Lauou.—The Montgomery
Advertiser and Mail says “we have been
laboring for years to reduce our subscrip
tion to a cash basis. We announce oar
unalterable determination to cut off all
daily subscribers in arrears, and who do
not pay up arrearages and pay m advance.
Wo shall continue our warnings tor a
short time, and then—the work begins.”
That is certainly a case of protracted
labor, and mutt be equally painful and
dangerous. Cut it short, neighbor, and
after the 1st day of next month send out
fio paper unless paid in advance.
But it seems that after all the jjhost
was a counterfeit hobgoblin, conjured up
by tho fears and ignorance of the sorry
statesmen and diplomats, who have risen
to the .-airfare of the bubbling chaldron
of radicalism.
These persons are all new men and
par venues, and of tho earth earthy. To

naticism and party prejudice. They
owe their ephemeral existence to apseudo
philanthrophy, donned for selfish pur-
poses, and imposed as gospel upon tho
millions of liberated slaves, who make a
burlesque and travestie of tho franchise
privilege, so dear to intelligent freemen.

Last Week's Cotton Figures.
According to tho New York Chronicle
the receipts of tho seven days ending last
Friday night, tho 10th inst., were 103,925
bales against 172,910 bales last week,
170,084 bales tho previous week and 123,-
S70 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1873, 1,519,114 bales against 1,529,220
bales for tho samo period of Uf/S,rimrUg
a decrease since September 1, 1873, of
10,100 bales.
Tho receipt: as report,*.! l,y tho associ
ated press were 200,139 bales, and the
whole statement varied from tho forego-
ing.
The interior port receipts for the same
time were 58,4-41 hales against 39,194 tho
corresponding week of last year. Tho
shipments were 45,949 against 32,4-47-
Tho stocks footed up 118,397 bales against
8G.797 last yonr.
Tho Chroniclo’8 table of visible supply
shows 2,310,504 hales, against 2,195,010
last year, and 2,157,000 tho year before,
showing nn increase of 115,904 and 152,-
904 hales respectively. Tho prices com
pare as follows, on a ba»U of middling
uplands, in tho Liverpool market: 1873,
Sid; 1872, 10ld to 10Jd; 1871, 9Jd to
lOd.
The Chronicle in a long editorial gives
its estimate of the incoming crop at 4,-
005,000 boles, against 3,930,508 in
1872-73; 2,974,551 in 1871-72, and 4,352,-
317 in 1870-71. This, it will bo seen, is
only 75,000 bales in excess of last year,
and must bo considered reasonable. How
ever. a month more will tell ns whether
anything is behind tho bush.
The most righteous verdict of modern
t irnes was recently rendered at Wauke-
shan, Iowa. The proprietor of a hotel
there brought suit to recover $97.40 for
meals and cigars furnished brother Har-
gor, of the Oconomowoc Times. Tho
latter set up a counter claim for $160 for
pulling the hotel, hut the plaintiff got
judgement and Horger appealed to a jury.
He testified that Fay, the proprietor,
would say to him: “Hargor, I’vo got a
nice dinner to-day—come in." “No, I
thank you. I’m going home." Fay would
prevail on him to stay, and after dinner
tho following colloquy: “Everything in
there all right, Barger ?” “Everything
excellent.” “Dessert all right!” “Ex
cellent.” “Ico cream all right F’ “De
licious, Mr. Fay.” “Very well, remem
ber this in your paper next week.” In
return for dinners and cigars, Horger
Bays hr told a great many lies—edi
torially—worth more than a thousand
dollars. He would never liave presented
a bill for lies had not Fay fallen out with
him and wanted pay for the dinners.
Hargor pleaded his own case, and the
jury found a verdict for him, which threw
the costs upon the hotel keeper.
Amoxo the charges made against Judge
Durcll,Grant’s judicial petat New Orleans
aud which are now before the House Com
mittee on the Judiciary, are malfeasance
and misfeasance in office, drunkenness,
and of making a large amount of money
out of bankrupt coses, of which he has
had some eighteen hundred before him.
Another charge is that when he signed
tin- order prohibiting the meeting of the
MoEnery Legislature, he was so dmnk
that be hod to be held up in hi* seat, and
his hand steadied to enable him to write.
This should ensure his impeachment, but
it would not at all astonish us if Grant
promoted him. If Williams were out
of the way he might be made Chief
J notice.
Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, the pre
siding Bishop of the Episcopal Church,

choice of the board was determined by

Tho Coarse of Col. Blount ou the
Salary Grab.
Our immediate representative has dis
played much good sense and wisdom in
his late action upon the salary question.
Favoring tho old law 03 it stood, which
fixed tho compensation of members at
$3,500 per annum, (nota stiver too much)
he was resolved not to give hi3 vote and
voico to tho substitute which gave $0,000,
and wo3 adopted by a small majority.
In voting against- that substitute, he
did so under tho explicit understanding
that Mr. Hawley, of Connecticut, would
move for a recommittal of the bill with
instructions to report tho old rate of sal
ary.
The vote of Col. Blount was an em
phatic condemnation of the new salary
grab, and he is entitled to the thanks of
his constituents for his manly course in
the promises. In painful contrast is the
conduct of the cx-Vice President of tho
Confederate States. Some men outlive
their fame and usefulness. And with such
we are constrained to class Mr. Stephens.
Tho following extract from the New
York Tribune of the 19th instant, will
fully confirm tho views above expressed:
Not a few members who voted for the
new salary grab last night, would to-day
gladly give up the extra $500 a year they
are to get by it if they could change
their votes. The bill does not look as
well to them by daylight as it did last
night, when their vision was befogged by
the vaporing.? of demagogism that made
tho air murky. They begin already to
realize the truth of Mr. Dawo’s prediction
that public opinion would condemn this
new increase of pay with as much sever
ity as it did tho famous “ steal ” of last
winter. There is no excuse for them;
they had warning enough. If
they honestly desired to undo the
WTetolied work of the last Congress,
their course was so plain that
they could not possibly go astray. When
the Hurlbnt substitute was offered they
had only to vote it dewn to give an op
portunity for the square anil complete
repeal bill, brought in by Mr. Halo under
express instructions of the House, to
have been reached for immediate action.
Later, when tho Hurlbut substitute had
been adopted, when its
with them, bought from members of
Congress at merely nominal prices. The
grocers nud butter dealers at the Capitxl
are supplied with unlimited stocks of the
fine and costly writing paper used for
bills and resolutions, purchased on their
own terni3. Much of the waste matter is
sold by weight and made over into paper.
Upon the whole, about two-thirds of the
Government printing is disposed of in
the above fashion.
Very Personal Journalism.
A correspondent of the Courier-Jour
nal writing from Washington, tells m all
about Mrs. Williams, wife of the great
unconfirmed, as follows:
Mrs. Williams’ beauty i3 more than
common and of a rare type. Very dark
hair, xvith very blue eyes that have long,
dark lashes. Her complexion is fair aud
clear, features good, though not regular.
Her form is full, as it should be, after
tho heyday of youth is passed. She has
beautiful neck and arms. She dresses
well, though not extravagantly; for, with
all the receiving she does and the invita
tion: she accepts, I don’t, think any win
ter she has had over six oxpen3i vo dresses.
I know I have seen some of tho old ones
turned and retrimmed.
In her next letter tnfs correspondent
ought to tell us hqw many pairs of boots
Mrs. W. wears cut out ayoar, and wheth
er or not she lia3 them lialf-soled; and
also what her glove hill is, and wheth
er she has them gleaned, or throws
them away when soiled. Some informa
tion as‘to whether she wears darned
stockings or not, might also be in order.
Its ***
Effect Upon tlie Public
Schools.
The Baltimore Sun, it will be seen from
the following, entirely agrees with ns in
our estimate of the effect the passage of
tho so-called civil rights bill will have
upon the system of public schools. It
says:
Tho effect of any so-called supplemen
tary civil rights project, such as is pro
posed in some quarters in Congress, upon
tho existing State school systems, de
serves some serious consideration. Even
in Washington, the headquarters of ex
perimental pliilantliropy, tho colored pop
ulation have keen persuaded by the very
nature of the case that it is not expedient
to attempt mixed schools, l’lic state of
feeling on this subjectmust be recognised
as r. fact by anything that deserves the
name of practical statesmanship. The
association of children in schools will be
controlled by their parents and by tho
public sentiment of their respective local
ities. Any law which runs contrary to
this will become a dead letter on tho
statute book. It can only have the effect
„c • v., ..a:- ,, nD q] 10 public schools in
those sections whoro it is
proved. Legislatures nud municipal
ities in communities where it would
inconveniently affect them will mako no
appropriations for “mixed schools,” and if
they did, parents would not avail them
selves of such educational opportunities.
Peoplo will insist on being permitted to
do what they choose with their own
money, nnd Senator Sumner’s philan
throphy, or that of “any other” Congress
man, in tho same direction, will prove of
a very destructive character, so far as
the public schools in many localities are
concerned. This docs not involve any
hostility to the education of tho colored
people, the importance of which, as they
have become citizens and endowed with
tho privilege of suffrage, is recognized by
all, and in some of the old slavcholdin
has been amply provided for. Tho only
effect of such a bill, as regards public
schools, will be to deprive the children of
both races of advantages which, by not
forcing one upon the other, both now
enjoy.
How the Senate Stands on “In
flation.”
Under date of Friday, tho Baltimore
Sun’s Washington correspondent tele
graphs as follows :
It is thought, after a careful consider
ation and interchange of views with lead
ing Senators, that any further inflation
of the currency is doubtful. The Senate
as a body is conservative on this point.
Senator Alcorn, who is the leading Re
publican Senator, advocates more cur
rency, and most of Ins party associates
from that section concur with him.
Judge Merrimon, of North Carolina, and
others of the Southern Democratic Sena
tors. ore also said to regard enlargement
of the volume of currency as a panacea
for existing evils. Mr. Morton, as a
leader of liis own section, and as the rec
ognized party leader in the Senate, wields
much influence. -He may be set down as
a- moderate inflationist. On tho other
hand Mr. Howe, also a representative
Western man, is bitterly opposed to the
issue of a single additional paper dollar.
So also, it is believed, is Mr. Schurz. The
Pacific coast Senators are, of course, for
“ hard money.” In the main tho Sena
tors of both parties from the Middle
States are against any increase. The
New England Senators may be said to be
next to united against it, although Mr.
Buckingham, for instance, favors the
convertible bond idea. So far, although
many Senators have indicated what they
are opposed to, none, it is believed, but
Messrs. Buckingham, Ferry, of Michigan,
and Samner, have brought forward any
of their' own puiportin
measures of their; own purporting to
objectionable | cover all the necessities of the situation,
character had been fully exposed, they j The Finance Committee after listonin"-
could have voted against the previous ; to the views of the Senators will proba-
qnestion on the passage of the bill as j bly report an original bill embracing, so
omemled, and by so doing opened the j far as practicable, the views expressed
by the majority. There are in the tom-
way for a motion of recommittal with in
structions, which Mr. Hawley, of Con
necticut, gave notice he should make.
And still later, when the bill came to the
final vote, they could liave killed it,
knowing, as they did, that an honest re
peal bill could Is: introduced on the next
Monday and parsed under a zD.qi< n Ion
of the rules.
“Kisses.”—The New York Graphic, of
last Wednesday, has the following notice
of Mrs. Westmoreland’s lecture on the
majority. There are in the com
mittee but two member: who are looked
upon as “ inflationists,” and hence that
doctrine cannot find much favor with it.
A Christmas Gift for Grant The
Boston Advertiser, the leading Radical
paper of Massachusetts, closes a sharp
lecture to the administration with tcese
forcible words, which somebody ought
to send Grant as a Cliristmas present:

tainly an attractive one in eVery sense of
that word—theoretically, as well as practi
cally. Says the Graphic:
Mrs. Westmoreland’s lecture on “Kiss
es’* before the “Fratemals/’ at DeGarmo’s
Hall last evening, was delivered before
a fashionable and appreciative audience,
who seemed to keenly enjoy the racy and
piquant witticisms of the lecturer. Mrs.
Westmorland, though a debutante, has
already made a very favorable impression.
Her selection of a subject last evening
was a “happy thought.’* All men appre
ciate “kisses’* from rosy lips, whether
given or talked about, especially when
the theme is handled with a rare blend
ing of delicacy, wit, and sentiment. Mrs.
Westmoreland has been invited to repeat
her lecture in Boston and Washington.
ment of the public service is in a satisfactory
condition, and, worst of all, there seems to
be an indisposition to worl a reformation.
There is everywhere indifference to the sug
gestions of wisdom atul common sense. When
an administration ceases to h-ust the men
whom the people trust; reserving its honora
ble rewards for subservient incapacity, the
country will prepare for a cJutnge, and there
is no help for it.
