Efi#c pal Monastery—St John Societt
—Revival or an Ancient System.-- An
Episcopal monastery is among the signs of
progress in the direction of what is known
as the High Church in this country. Ir is
comparatively anew movement in the En
glish Church, where, under the control of
the Ox ord reformists, it is regarded at the
same time as a work of progression and a
return to th« custom- of aote-refi ru ati <o
times. Th re is already a monastery of
the kind at Ox<ord, from which ’he pres
ent movement in this country emanates.
Jr deed, the reverend gentleman. Mr. Ben
son, who t yrith a number of his brethren,
has come to this country for the purpose of
introducing the monastic system among
Protestants, is the founder of the the insti
totion at Oxford. Associated with hiro are
severil American Episc pal clergymen, of
Maryland,Connecticut and elsewhere. They
distinguished themselves like the Jesuits,
by a name which is design and to mark the
unity of their order. They are culled the
Society of St. John the Evangelist. They
»ake upon thereselve®, after the manner &♦
Jesuit and Roman Catholic monachism,
vows of poverty, chastity and celibacy.
Thpy have for some time contemplated the
establishment of their order in America,
and have in view, ir. is said, two principal
monasteries in New York and Boston, and
an extension of the ystem in due time to
other parts of the eountiy; and they are
supposed to have ample funds for an effi
cient beginning ~f (he-undertaking. Beside
the priesis, the design contemplates t!ie co
operation of lay brethren, and even sisters,
who all take »he same vows. Father Ben
son is the Superior and the “monks” who
are already enlisted as his coadjutors are
described as being eloquent, able, zealous
and energetic men ; and their eb'ef mission,
it is presumed, will he, where it is most
needed, among the poor. It will be curi
ous if the monastic system, alter being sup
pressed by law in France and Spain, and
generally in Europe, ehould be revived in
this country. — World
The Remkf Law —There seems to be
much diversity in the opinions of our Su
perior Court Judges a* to the constitution
ality of the act to extend the iien of sei» ff
and recoupment as against d“bts contracted
prior to June, 1865, &c., commonly
known as the relief law. Judge -John L
Hopkins, of the Atlanta Circuit, has held
the act unc nstitutional, which Judges liar*
red and Johnson have pr *n**unced the other
way. We copy from the Dawson Journal
the main points of Judge Harrell’s decision
a-* delivered in the ease of Jones vs Lee,
tried at the iast term of Stewart Superior
C *urt :
1 While it is true that the Legislature
has no power under the Constitution to
impair the obligation of contracts, or to
Destroy the remedy tor their enforcement,
it is equally true, that it does have th
power to change, niter, modiiy. and rvpn ru
arm* x conditions precedent to the use «»f the
remedies pre*cribed by law for the enforce
mens of contracts
2 That this power has been exercised by
the Legislature from the foundation of the
Government, without que?*tion, to wit: by
r quiring the phiinuftn to p>y cost in ad
vance, to make certain affidavits, as in bail
cases, attachments, etc , and by imposing
conditions as to time, as statutes of limita
tion.
3 That the provisions of the relief act of
1870, in lequiring plaintiff- to sign an affi
davit that all legal taxes have been paid
upon the debts they seek t > collect, before
thev are entitled to use the remedies pre
scribed hv law for their collection, is only
the exercise of this power, and and es not
impair the obligation of contracts, or de
stroy the remedy.
4 And considering the reciprocal duties
of Government and citizen, it is not unjust,
inequitable or unconstitutional for the
Legislature to require the citizen to fulfil
his obligation to the Governm nt by the
payment of all l»»gal taxes, before he is
entitled t«> use the remedies provided by the
Government for the enforcement ot his pri
vate rights, especially the taxes due upon
the very contract he seeks to enforce by
reme ies provided hv la«*.
B y Love. —One of the queerest and
funniest things to think of in after life,
ia boy love. No sooner does a hoy acquire
a tolerable stature than he logins to
imagine himself a man, and io >pe manish
wavs. .«e casts sly glances at all the tali
girls e may meet, In comes a regular attend
ant at church, carries a cane, h< Ids his head
erect, struts a lit le in his walk. Pres
ently and very R<>on, he falls in ove; yes,
falls is the pr per word, because it best
indicates his happv delirious self-abase
ment. He lives now in fgiry regi >n, how
ever, with it. He perfumes his hair with
fragrant oils, scatters essence **ver hand
kerchiefs and desperately shaves and an
noints for a beard. He quotes poetry in
which “love,” and “dove,” “heart,” and
“dart,” peculiarly predominate; and he
plunges deeper into the delicious laby
rinth. fancies filled with the divine afflatus,
and suddenly breaks into a scarlet rash—
or rhyme. He feeds upon the looks "f bis
beloved; ia raised to the seventh heaven if
she speaks a pleasant word; is betrayed

Specie Payment —;N*na «>r Trumbull, in
a speech at Chicago, this week, advocated
a sneedv return to specie payments, and
presented two methods hy which, he said,
such a result could be reached without
contraction :
1 He would c mpel the national hanks
to hold in reserve the coin paid them for
interest on their bonds, and he would ad*
va’ ce the value of treasury notes hv making
tnem receivable for two thirds of the import
duties, and destroy the notes when received,
i 2. The hanks are paid six per cent, in*
I terest on their bonds, and it wou and take
about six vears for them To accumulate coin
enough from this source to commence re
demption in hard money. They should
have, at »east. one-third of the amount of
their liabilities in coin before they begin
redemption.
There are about s2<>o,ooo,0 (i 0 of coin in
the country, and one-half of the sum is in
the United States Treasury. To meet the
interest on the puhlic debt, and other gold
indebtedness, it is necessary for ih# Treas
ury to keep a reserve in coin, and were
two-thirds of the import duties made paya
ble in greenbacks, the reserve would have
to he largely increased Suppose HO 000,

import duties, and the currency destroyed

The Diam-nd Field- of lieorgia. —Dr
M. F. Stephenson, of Hall county, in a
communication to tb# Gainesville Air Line
Eagle, fays ;
“We are glad to see in the Northern and
European papers, that much excitement
nrevails on the subject of South African
diamonds, which are now being found over
a space of 1.0 0 square miles, of great
value. This will re-act on our section,
which, from every geological indication,
and its peculiar mineralogy, will ultimate
• v—whenever developed, yield more and
finer ones than 8 <uth America or Africa.
Our opinion is pred cate*! on the fact of
over forty having been picked up by the
g**id washers in every deposit m-ne from
Hall county, Georgia, for six hundred miles,
to Virginia, some of which were of mu<*h
greater value than any yet found in Africa.
All we want is a little capital, only SI,OOO

draw the attention of capitalists tn the sub
ject, who can introduce diamond miners

thi« c mrse, I have no hesitancy in saving,
that in six months the must brilliant suc
cess would at’end the eyneriment.

pnper remarks, in speaking of S>uthern
resources, that “every day develops some
resource of rhe South—s. m n new element

There are large peat works at M'-iden,

A Masonic Product in Tennessee.—ln
Tennessee the Masonic frate.nitv have pro
jected a novel plan for taking care of the
widows and orphans of deceased brother* of
the ‘mystic tie.' In each grand division of
the State a thousand or more acres of land
are to be acquired by gift or purchase, and
this land will he co' up into small locs of
one or two acres*, with a small cottage on
each lot. A p ution of tbe !»'-d will be re
served for a school bouse ij church, thus
making the locality awn of community by
iisplf In most cases there wil* be children
old enough to care f r the lad, raising
vegetables and fruits for the market, and
any deficiency of food and raiment will he
supplied from the beuevoleni fund f the
grand division. The seventy-two Masonic
lodges of .the Stae have already raised
eighty tbogenod dollars towards the
object to be accomplished, and by another
year wili have raised the amount desired,
before making a practical leal of the pro
ject.
A Quadrill.—lt is described thus by

“We both bowed to both of as snd then

Railway Signals. —The following rail
way signals are given in the American Ar~
tiz<n, and it may he well for eV TV traveller
by railway to know them :
Onfi whistle signifies “Down brakes."
Two whistles, ‘ Off brakes " Three whis
tles, * Back up ” Continuous whistles,
“Danger." A raoid ucoeesion of short
whittles is the “Cattle Alarm " A sweep
ing parting of hands on level of the eyes is
a signal t" “On ahead." A downward mo
tion of the hand, with extended arms,
signifies “stop." A beckoning motion of
one hand means “Back." At night, when
a lantern is raised and lowered vertically,
it is a signal for “Starting?" when swung
at right angles or across the track, “Stop;"
swung in a circle, “B»ek the train." A
red flag waved upon the track indicates
“Danger;" hoisted at a station, it is a sig
nal for a train to “Stop ;" stuck up by the
roadside, it is a signal of danger on the train
ahead; carried unfurled upon a locomotive,
it signifies * Engine following," and gives
warning that another {special) engine or
train will soon come along on the same
track.
To be Th doht f bt Planters —Our
planting frinnds should duly consider the
importance of sowing down at once a largo
area of land in small grain. The crisis
eminently demands it. The thing should
be thought of—and that is the neaessity of
raising tmgs and other stocK. ine or
buying meat at fp>rn 2*' to 300., with cotton
and »wri to 10 to 15c., is preposterous. The
pmc edmg will ruin any section. Hogs
can be gr .wn here at no very great expense,
hi nearly every county in Georgia and Ala
bama, timre are tine summer ranges for
stock Os course in order to keep your
hogs, goats, sheep and cattle in winter, you
will be compelled to increase your grain
and lessen your cotton crops ; but no one
for a moment should hesitate to do this. If
our formers will at once resort to the policy
of making their own section self-sustaining,
th.*y will find that a half crop of cotton will
yield as much clear money as a whole one,
while »he S -uth will cease to be drained to
support the West.— Columbus Enquirer.
The Leaders of the Republican Party.
—There is nothing more significant of the
impending dissolution of this organization,
than the fact that in almost every case those
who have the control of the party organiza
tion. are men who where opposed to the
principles upon which the party was found
ed.
The events that are daily transpiring in
political circles furnish a complete confirm
ation of this statement. The men who bad
control of Buchanan's administration are
now geoerally running the Republican
party. While this is true, old and tried
veterans of that party are leaving the cor
rupt and rotten organization and joining the
Dt-mocracy- Under this system of exchange
the Republicans a»e getting the office-seek
ers, and the Jossils. while the Democrats are
getting live, honest, active men, who see
that the only chance for the people is to
fight the great battle of popular rights
under the benner of Democracy.— Fort
Scott Democrat.
The Rusian Programme —Tbe program
me which »he Rus.-ian Government is pre
pared to carry out, now that its army is in
go>d condition aod well armed, includes the
freeing of the Black Sea from the conditions
imp- sed <n it by toe trea y which followed
the Crimean war, and the emancipation of
the Christian nationalities rs European
Turkey Mohammedan control Ir>
• •rd r to accomplish this, it is indispensable
to be able to bring into the field a force
-nffioient to drive the Sultan out of Europe.
Tbe treaty between Rus-ia ad Prussia
prohably amounts to an nl inure by which
tbe Czar will r.of interfere with K.rig Wil

Empire while Germany give* her c r.sent

tro| Whether England, Au-tria. Italy,
Belgium and lloil nd will not interfere
with this great project a tew days may

There is richne-a in the i r > position said
*aid to have been suggested in the recent
: Cabinet meeting, that the act provi ling
j lor the assembling of the now Congress ou
the fourth of March he repealed, to pre
vent a coalition of the Democrats and Rep
ublic n Free-traders from the West.
De-perate shifts of that sort tell tbe story
of Radical desperation. It will not do.
An exclusion is inevitable, and the party
had better put their fingers on their ears
and await the concussion. It will be tre
mendous, but it will he just.
