Dssiior Lee, of tho Episcopal Diocese of Iowa, writes affectionately to Bishop Cummin, protesting carnostly against a movement for a separate organization. “It worb for better,” ho writes, “for our ex In une ritualistic brethren to finally se cede to tho Church of Rome, to which they arc tending, than for yourself and other, of like mind to leave such a Church os ours fur a now ecclesiastical organiza tion. 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 fifty persons. In Philadelphia the nt- tendanoo is about two hundred, nud in New York nnd Brooklyn not to exceed five hundred. # 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 thiekne It is cosily bent in nny direc 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 draw it more truthfully, they are be grimed with the slime of corruption, fa 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. Old issues having diod out, and with them the prestige of tho dominant fac tion, they would fa ! n galvanize anew the African carcass, and bring Cuba to the re-ciio of waning carpet-bagism. But, unhappily, truth will prevail, and the Virginius has been adjudged if not a pirate, at least a fillibnstcring craft, not entitled to the protection of Government. to Mr. S. Fatman, of Savannah, were burned Sunday morning. They were in sured, and the loss will not exceed $2,000. Riv. David H. Porter, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Savannah, died Sunday afternoon of consumption of the bowels. Ho was a South Carolinian by birth, and about forty-five years old- Ho liad been pastor of that church since 185G, and was one of six eons, four of whom have been, or are Presbyterian ministers.

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, has selected a board of inquiry into the charges preferred against Bishop Cum mins. The place of meeting is required to bo in Kentucky, at such time and place as designated by Bishop Smith. The choice of the board was determined by lot. The board consists of two ministers and two laymen, each, from the States of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. photograph taken this week by a Fulton county jury.

The latest Atlanta institution i3 a “Panic Club” composed of come thirty young gentlemen and ladies and which meets every two weeks.

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: The events in Washington since Con- above subject We offer our congratula- l STess assembled have not tended to quiet tions on the success that seems to be that the republican organ. lzation is drifting- to the bad. No depart- attending our fair country woman’s debut in the role of lecturer- ller theme is cer 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. Hon. J&n&r Black has a lengthy and caustic article in the Galaxy for January, replying to the address of Charles Francis Adams on the character of Mr. Seward.
