CITY TOPICS.
Mark these words —mark the streets.
“Hornie” tells a horrible tale about a
horned cattle.
This morning the City Court fires up
and starts off on a trip of business.
What’s better for a city than a good
library ?
The Recorder was lonely yesterday—
not a single court caller.
The Knights Templar have made a
Luekie choice of an orator for next year.
W. D. is the rest.
Eleven hundred and twelve volumes
were added to the Augusta Library the
past year.
Chief Smyth is thanking everybody
who aided and abetted in the late
grand firemen’s parade.
A ruu off on the Port Royal Railroad
Wednesday evening, near Moore’s, de
layed the inward bound train an hour.
Many folks are laying out their new
clothes to go down to Savannah on the
coming Sunday excursion and get
some salt air.
An interesting sketch of the rise and
progress of the Young Men’s Christlau
Association is to be found in our
Richmond correspondence.
“Miles” is intently searching for
knowledge, and wrestles manfully with
a few of the problems of the age.
It is suggested that the valor with
which the Knights yesterday attacked
barbecued meats, would easily rescue
the holy sepulchre.
The talent is not confined to Knights
Templar to fully appreciate barbecued
pig, but the opportunity was yesterday.
By mistake we assigned Capt. J. O.
Clarke to the Clinch Rifles yesterday.
This was not good B-havior, though a
slip of the pencil, and we are sure
Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. B, wouldn’t
consent to any such transfer.
Mr. C. T. Smith having declined re
election, Mr. S. Y. Simmons has become
Librarian of the Young Men’s Library
Association.
The Clinch Rifles were punch-bowl
ing along last night, on the glad occa
sion of rejoicing with Mr. Secretary
Clarence Levy over the advent of a
young recruit —a rosy baby boy.
Peter Jeuniugs, a soda water vender,
was before Judge Suead yesterday for
severely beating his wife, and was held
in bonds of a thousand dollars to keep
the peace and to appear for examina
tion on the charge of assault and bat
tery to-day. Mrs. Jennings was in bed
yesterday, and had been since Monday,
attended by Dr. Coleman.
It was mentioned in the Constitu
tionalist that we understood Judge
W. T. Gould would deliver a historical
sketch of the Order before the Knights
Templar. He was Chairman of a com
mittee that submitted a report to the
Grand Commandery upon the history
of Christian Knighthood.
The Situation at Waynesboro.
Reports from Waynesboro yesterday
afternoon and night were to the effect
that the little disturbance there, grow
ing out of the demands of some per
fectly and stupidly ignorant negroes
upon Judge Gibson to be put upon the
jury, had about died out. In the morn
iug the Judge road four or five miles
around the town, looking for the re
ported armed black squads, but all
tiie negroes he saw were busy in the
fields hoeing corn and chopping out
cotton. If there ever was any intention
of resorting to extreme measures, it
has been abandoned.
There was a great deal of talk about
the matter in the city yesterday, and
many private dispatches exchanged
upon the subject, the tenor of all com
ing from Waynesboro being that the
affair was more ridiculous than dan
gerous.
[Special to the Consti tutionalist ]
Waynesboro, Ga., May 27.—Every
thing quiet—no trouble apprehended.
The trial of the messengmger was post
poned on account of absence of wit
nesses. J. Morgan Jones was acquitted
of voluntary manslaughter by the jury.
Court adjourned to 3d prox.

Personal.
Eminent Sir Chas. R. Armstrong,
Grand Recorder, and Eminent Sir
Archibald H. Snead, Grand Captain
General, of the Grand Commandery of
Geoigia, and Sir Knights A. A. Wiun
and T. S. Wayne, of Palestine Com
mandery of Savannah., remain as the
rear guard of the visiting Knights
Templar. Col. Armstrong will perhaps
not depart until to-morrow. Capt.
Winn vanishes across the river into
Carolina this morning.
We have been pleased to meet in our
city and sanctum Mr. Joe Aunspaugh,
of the splendid and influential cotton
house of Inman, Swan & Cos., of New
York and Savannah.
Cruelty to an Animal.
We publish elsewhere in this issue a
communication disclosing an abomina
ble act of cruelty to an unfortunate
animal in this city, and are glad to say
that on the facts becoming known to
the proper authorities steps were taken
to relieve the wretched brute as far as
possible, and to put iu operation the
laws providing for the punishment of
such disgraceful barbarity. It is not
often that we are called on to record
acts like the one our correspondent
brings to light and it is to be hoped
that the penalty prescribed by law will
be promptly inflicted on the parties re
sponsible for such inhumanity.
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
Fourteenth Annual Grand Conclave-
Closing Business and Festivities.
At 9 o’clock yesterday morning the |
Sir Knights assembled in the Asylum
of Georgia Commandery No. 1, in
Masonic Hall, Right Eminent Sir
George Thomas Anderson, Grand Com
mander in command, and all the Grand
Officers in attendance.
The committee on general business,
through its chairman, Eminent Sir
Joseph E. Wells, submitted their re
port, which was received and adopted.
Eminent Sir Thomas Hardeman, Jr.,
chairman of the special committee,
composed of Sir Knights Thos. Harde
man, Jr., J. G. Deitz and W. D. Luekie,
to whom was referred the annual ad
dress of the Grand Commander, pre
sented a report upon the address
which, received and adopted, will be
incorporated in the Grand Recorder’s
report.
A resolution was adopted providing
for a public demonstration at Macon
during the next Annual Grand Con
clave to be held in May .
By request of the Grand Command
ery, expressed in a resolution proposed
by Sir Knight Amos Fox and unani
mously passed, Eminent Sir William
D. Luekie, of Atlanta, was appointed
to act as orator for the ensuing Annual
Grand Conclave, and Sir Knight Luekie
being present accepted the post of
honor.
By resolution, four hundred copies
of the proceedings of the Conclave are
to be published.
Eminent Sir Archibald H. Snead, of
Forsyth, submitted a series of re
solutions, conveying the thanks of
the Grand Commandery and Sir
Knights—first, to Miss Gardner, Mrs.
Oates, Mr. Pelot, Mr. Goodrich and
Prof. Weigand, for the superb mu
sic of their accomplished choir dur
ing the devotional services in St.
John’s Church; second, to the Trus
tees of that church for the use of the
edifice; third, to Right Eminent Sir
J. Emmett Blackshear for his able and
polished address ; fourth, to Palestine
Commandery, of Savannah, for the
complimentary services of the Forest
City German Band tendered the Grand
Commandery during the conclave;
fifth, to Georgia Commandery, of Au
gusta, for their princely and unbound
ed hospitalities ; sixth, to Mr. Mosher,
the gentlemanly proprietor of the Au
gusta Hotel, for splendid entertainment
and manifold attentions to the Knights
who were his guests ; seventh, to the
several railroads centering at Augusta
for liberal reductions in fare.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Eminent Sir Kuights Charles R. Arm
strong, Thos. Hardeman, Jr., and Jos.
E. Weils, were appointed a committee
to revise and reprint the Grand Stat
utes.
At about 11 o’clock, after devotional
exercises conducted by Eminent Sir
Clement A. Evans, Grand Prelate, the
Grand Commandery was dismissed in
due and solemn form.
FESTIVITIES.
Georgia Commadery, No. 1, provided
an elegant entertainment at the Schut
zenplatz in compliment to the visiting
Sir Knights, and that delightful resort
was rendered merry and brilliant dur
ing the day by the presence of the
Knights and ladies.
At the dinner hour, 3 p. m., the Grand
Commandery was formed and escorted
to the place of honor at the table,
which, surrounded by fair ladies and
brave men, was loaded with a sumptu
ous and choice feast.
The presentation of the beautiful
epergne, offered as a prize by Grand
Commander Hamilton and won by
Palestine Commandery, of Savannah,
as the best, equipped and best drilled
Commandery at the Conclave, took
place about 5 o’clock. Palestine
Commandery was formed and drawn
up iu knightly array in the dancing pa
vilion in front of the musicians’ stand,
from which Eminent Sir Thos. Harde
man, Jr., in the presence of Knights
and ladies, gracefully and appropriate
ly presented the evidence of their tri
umph. Sir Kuight Jos. A. Roberts, in
behalf of Palestine Commandery, re
ceived the prize.
Music lead the dancers through
quadrilles and waltzes as the thappy
hours glided by, and many a Kuight
for years unused to trip the light fantas
tic toe was bewitched by so fair, young
and lovely partners to caper nimbly to
the delightful pleasings of the lute.
By nightfall the festivities had ended,
and on the evening trains nearly all
the Knights departed from our goodly
city.
“ Civic Military Titles.”
Our estimable correspondent “Miles”
(the private soldier), who elsewhere
propounds to us some pertinent and
pointed inquiries about civic military
titles, gives us a chance of escape from
a great responsibility in a private note,
in which it is remarked : “ Should you
not be able to furnish the desired in
formation, the queries may be the
means of eliciting it from parties who
are posted.”
It affords us pleasure to open the
columns of the Constitutionalist to
those who are sufficiently posted to re
ply, at the same time we would sug
gest to the army of titular Generals,
Colonels, Majors and Captains to form
regiments and let one writer represent
each corps iu the discussion or the
four broad pages of our paper might be
unable to afford even a line to each no
ble defender.
Did He, or Did He Not?
The Augusta Constitutionalist and
the Chronicle and Sentinel, and Hon.
Win. M. Reese are on the verge of a
paper warfare in consequence of the
utterance of the latter gentleman in the
late Georgia Railroad Convention. The
Constitutionalist published the re
marks of J udge Reese &s reported by
their reporter. Judge Reese denies the
language, and the meaning thereof, im
puted to him by the reporter. The
Chronicle and Sentinel takes up the
cudgel for the judge and lampoons the
Constitutionalist with the remark
“that Judge Reese ought to know bet
ter what he said than the reporter did.”
The Constitutionalist doubts the as
sertion of the Chronicle and quotes
from the Chronicle and Sentinel’s re
port of the proceedings, language
almost identically the same as that pub
lished in their report and to which the
Judge so strongly demurs.
It’s none of our fight, but the re
portoriai art of to-day is so perfect
and accurate, that the courts of the
country are adopting it as the best
and only means of obtaining correct
reports of their proceedings, which
gives it a force that cannot be cramp
ed or injuied by mere denials especi
ally when they come from interested
parties. And it is well that such is the
fact for politicians, and public men
generally in the future will find it no
easy task to ride two horses at one
time outside the limits of a circus ring.
We do not intend this as a reflection
upon the position taken by Judge
Reese in their controversy but we mean
it to apply generally. No doubt Judge
Reese believes that, he never uttered
the language attributed to him and
possibly he did not, but we allude to
the incident as one that will go far to
ward making public men more care
ful in their speeches and establishing
the reliability of newspaper reports of
the 3ame. — Georgia Clipper, May 27th.

AUGUSTA YOUNG MEN’S LIBRARY
ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting—Reports of Officers—
Election of Managers.
The postponed regular annual meet
ing of the Augusta Young Men’s Li
brary Association was held in their
rooms on Ellis street Wdnesday morn
ing, Capt. George T. Barnes, President in
the Chair.
Mr. J. Et. Day, Secretary and Trea
surer, reported verbally 1 hat he had on
hand funds of the Association to the
amount of SIOO. Report received and
adopted.
Mr. Chas. T. Smith, Librarian, sub
mitted the subjoined report, which was
received and adopted :
librarian’s report.
Augusta, Ga., April Ist, 1875.
To the President, Trustees and Managers
of the Young Men’s Library Associa
tion :
Gentlemen ; — ln accordance with the
custom which, by comparison, I find to
have been less minutely observed by
my predecessors in the office I have
held, I render the following report on
the present condition of the library,
together with an account of the trans
actions comiug under my charge dur
ing the past year.
The list of annual subscribers, one
hundred and eighty-two, is twenty
eight less than the year previous, but
as I have made it customary to count
only members whe have paid, and at
tributing to the hard times and scarc
ity of money the almost impossibility
of collecting subscriptions due and
overdue, the falling off in this respect
is easily accounted for, since the num
ber of bills on hand unpaid would more
than counterbalance the decrease.
The same reason will bear upon the
decrease in the list of Christian Asso
ciation Members, whieh numbers this
year only ten members—fifteen less
than last year. But on examining the
list, I find that six members have been
transferred to the annual subscription
list, and the balance are unpaid. I
would here mention, by way of paren
thesis, that these unpaid subscriptions,
although actually due to the Associa
tion, cannot be forced, or too often ap
plied for, for when a subscription is so
licited by the Librarian, his courtesy is
indispensable in collecting the money.
The number of monthly subscribers,
196, shows au increase of two mem
bers, and an addition to income of
$18.50.
I take pleasure iu being able to re
port an addition of one life member.
My exertions were at last crowned
with a cheque for SSO, and Major Thos.
P. Branch’s name is now added to that
list. This list of life members has been
diminished the past year by the death
of two or three, but having misplaced
the book containing their names, I am
compelled to render only au approxi
mate account of the number yet exist
ing. It may not be untimely here to
call your attention to an impression
existing among families of life mem
bers deceased, that is, that when such
a member dies his or her right of sub
scription reverts to the family of the
deceased.
Estimating the decrease in the list of
life members at three, the total number
of members, including complimentary
members, during the year was 417,
showing a total decrease of 44 mem
bers.
The income from subscriptions
amounts to $638 —513.50 more than the
year previous; aud as the income for
fines, etc., is greater, and expenditures
less, I have had the pleasure of turn
ing over to the Secretary and Treasurer
$51.03 more than last year.
The circulation for the year was
8,268 —506 less than the year previous.
The greatest number of volumes bor
rowed during or.e month was in Au
gust, 1874, when 890 volumes were cir
culated. The past month of March
only 281 volumes were borrowed, the
smallest number for one month during
the year. The decrease in circulation
was possibly caused by a little iaeou
venience subscribers were subjected to
during the time repairs were being
made. The style of works most read
will average the same as last year, 13
to 1. The demands for late and popu
lar works of fiction are, if anything,
greater than before.
The number of volumes added dur
ing the year must prove to you as sur
prising as it is gratifying to myself. One
thousand, one hundred and twelve
(1,112) volumes are the accessions. Of
this number, 32 volumes were pur
i chased, 324 donated, and 756 deposi
ted with no restrictions upon their
use. This increases the number of
volumes already in the Library—minus
six (6) volumes that were lost, four (4)
of which were stolen from the shelves—
to 4,394 volumes, besides 697 pamph
lets. The greater number of those do
nated are works in French, German,
Latin and Greek.
Acknowledgments are due this year
for donations to Miss Jane Musgrove
for 21 volumes, to Miss S. Y. Hall for
10 volumes, to G. W. Hooper for City
Directory, to R. D. Hankinson for oue
volume, to Mrs. J. H. Alexander for 6
volumes, to Fred. Williams for ono
volume, J. L. Maxwell for 7 volumes,
D. M. Zimmerman for a copy of the
Atlantic Review, Mrs. A. M. McKin
zie for 6 volumes, D. L. Fullerton for
4 volumes, Mrs. Chas. Carr for 196 vol
umes, and to Rev. J. S. Lamar for the
deposit of 756 volumes. Sixty-eight
(68) volumes of documents and reports
were sent from the Departments at
Washington.
A gentleman, better known as “Jean
Valjean,” very kindly offers to you a
written suggestion, well calculated tor
the benefit of the Association. I re
spectfully submit it to your careful
consideration.
The improvements suggested by me
at your last meeting have been, with
one or two exceptions, completed.—
They are to be seen, and therefore spe
cial mention is unnecessary. The ques
tion arises, whether the Library is or
is not benefited thereby. In making
the room more attractive it is unques
tionably a benefit, for I could mention
a number of instances where persons
who, having passed the rooms daily
without even glancing in before the
improvements were commenced, are
now interested members of the Asso
ciation.
I trust, too, that you will not ascribe
to mere accident the unusual acces
sions to the Library above mentioned,
which so far exceeded even my antici
pations as to crowd out my intended
arrangement of the volumes upon tlio
shelves. As it is now absolutely ne
cessary to make further accommoda
tions for the volumes now in the Li
brary, I would recommend to you a
plan suggested by the Secretary, that
is, to have made four or five portable
stands, with shelves, suoh as could bo
placed where convenient and not occu
py too much space. They could be
made with little expense, and could bo
set aside when not needed.
A desk for the office is very much
needed, and a disposition of the mat
ting from the floor is necessary.
Thanking you for your kind atten
tion thus far, J solicit your indulgence
a little longer, I make the following
explanation, though scarcely necessary,
to protect my motives from being nffsT
construed: In June, 1867, I was first
honored with an ejection to the office
of Librarian at a salary of s4llO per
annum, and iu 1872 the kindness of
your Board increased the salary to
SSOO. Four hundred dollars were quite
an object to ope so young aud inex
perienced as I then was, but with eight
years’ experience in the service of the
Association I now find not only that
SSOO is a small salary (especially so
since, with a view to enable me better
to solicit and collect subscriptions, I
have been paying from that amount
for the services of an assistant),
but see the necessity of adapting
myself, if possible, to a commercial
life. When taking into consideration
the length of time that I have been
honored with the position of Librarian,
it is but natural that I should feel at
tached to the occupation ; but seeing
no immediate prospects of a sufficient
increase in salary, I reluctantly with
draw my name—besides, having made
other arrangements, I am prevented
from being a candidate for re-election.
Hoping that my services have proven
satisfactory (as I know they have
always been rendered to the best of
my ability) and trusting to an acknowl
edgment to that effect, I conclude by
respectfully offering my spare moments
to the interests of the Association by
furnishing any instructions to my suc
cessor that may become necessary and
by obtaining any subscribers that my
limited influence might induce.
Sincerely thanking you, gentlemen,
for all kindness and courtesy shown to
me, the above is
Respectfully submitted.
Chas. T. Smith,
Librariaa.

Jean ” (Col. H. C. Stevenson) alluded to

A HORRIBLE THING.
Seven Days Dying and Not Dead Yet.
City Editor Constitutionalist :
Knowing that there is a “Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals”
in this State, and believing that there
are in the Code of Georgia, as there
are in the codes of all civilized people,
laws for the punishment of the crime
of cruel and brutal treatment of ani
mals, I feel it my duty to draw the at
tention of the above society, and of the
humane public, to the following facts :
Iu the hollow between the Ice Works
and the Central Railroad track a cow,
with both hind legs broken and the
bones protruding through the flesh and
hide, has, since last Friday, 21st inst.,
been writhing in pain, exposed to the
scorching sun, the torture inflicted by
swarms of flies who feast on her before
their time, and to the persecutions of
herds of cows, that frequently gather
around her and butt, gore aud roll her
about iu a manner that is painful to
behold. There lias been nothing done
to alleviate the sufferings of this ani
mal, nothing attempted for the pur
pose of assisting her to recover, and
as if it were the diabolical purpose of
her owners to prolong her torments
as much as possible, she has not been
fed. Some of the neighbors, who are
thoroughly disgusted with the horrid
sight whieh has been before their eyes
now for seven days, remonstrated with
the owner of the cow, aud requested
him either to put the animal out of
pain or to have her properly attended
to. By way of reply they received
abuse and curses for medddling with
his business, and threats of personal
injury if they interfered any more with
his cow or with him. Many people
will, I have no doubt, look with in
credulity upon these statements, aud
ask how, with good State and munici
pal laws, and with such an army of offi
cials for the administration and en
forcement of them, such glaring abuses
are possible ? To such 1 would say
that my statements can be supported
by the testimony of more than a dozen
of respectable citizens—l mght with
safety have said two dozen--and that
the cow still lies in the same spot and
still lives. “Hornie.”

CIVIC MILITARY TITLES.
Some Pertinent and Pointed Inquiries.
City Editor : Will you have the kind
ness to enlighten me by auswering the
following questions ?
First—What are the nature and
amount of political service necessary to
win for a man a military title ?
Second—lf a man runs for Constable
or Coroner aud is defeated, does he
thus secure a commission as Major or
Colonel ?
Third—By whom or by what “ depart
met” is military rank confered for po
litical services rendered ?
Fourth—ls a man’s admission to the
Bar a guarantee that he will be admit
ted into the military family, and if so,
what bar ?
Fifth—lf a young man delivers him
self of “ a few appropriate remarks ”
at a firemen’s presentation or a target
shooting, is he by so doing introduced
into the circle of Mars, or must he first
get his (Ma’s) consent?
Sixth—By becoming a member of the
Fourth Estate, does a man get a fee
simple title to the rank of Colonel, or
does he get a simple title without the
fee ?
Seventh—How many Majors aud
Colonels are therein Georgia who came
through “the late unpleasantness”
without “the smell of' fire upon their
garments,” or the stain of blood upon
their hands ?
Eighty—Who is the ranking officer
of the post helium army in tiffs State ?
Ninth—Suppose a private desires to
avoid the perils and responsibilities of
post helium military rank, how is he to
escape ? What antidote would yoq re
commend?
Theabove interrogatories are offered
in good faith, Mr. Editor, and such in
formation as you can give me in re
sponse to aqy or all of thenq will be
gratefully received-
T woujff state that there are five
privates in Augusta besides myself,
and as “honors are easy,” we are living
in constant dread of having some title
thrust upon us. We are taking quinine
and Hostetter’s Bitters as the best
preventive we know of present, but
are apprehensive that these will pot
meet the case. Jn the meantime, we
are anxious to know to whom we are to
report for duty. Yours, in the bonds of
martial brotherhood, Miles.

Twentieth Annual Convention.
[Special Correspondence of the Constitu
tionalist.]
Richmond, Va., May 26th, 1876.
There are now present six hundred
delegates and an extra train expected
at 2 o'clock. The convention convenes
at 12 o’clock for organization. An Ala
bama man Is spoken of for President,
also an Augustian, who rates high, but
he will not consent to allow his name
used. The Georgia delegates are com
fortably quartered and in high spirits
at the following places: Augusta dele
gation, Thos. Branch ; Savannah,
Dr. Willis; Waynesboro, Rev. Dr.
Read (Presbyterian). The Augusta
delegation is composed of M. Wallace,
W. C. Sibley, F. T. Lockhart, J. H.
Cranston, W. A. Branch, M. H. Lane.
Geo. C. Needham is with the Augusta
delegation.
Many amusing incidents have occur
red since we left home, and but for want
of time and space we would make men
tion of a few. This morniDg after the
Georgia boys had written to their wives
and sweethearts, they went out en masse
to place their letters in the boxes at
tached to the lamp posts, but they
could not find for some time the place to
drop their letters ;ia, but eventually
succeeded after being instructed by one
of the party who had been to cities be
fore where they have the free delivery
system.
Appended are some interesting para
graphs clipped from one of the Rich
mond papers of this morning, referring
to this occasion of the International
Convention of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association.

Origin and History of Y. M. C. A.’s.
In 1844 George Williams organized,
in London, the first Y. M. C. A. which
ever existed, and enunciated then the
idea upon which they have since work
ed—viz., “ to organize the Christian ef
fort of Christian young men to reach
and save those of their own age who
were not Christians.”
The first association on this conti
nent was organized in Montreal in
1851, and was followed by the organi
zation, the same year, of associations
in Boston, Cincinnati, Buffalo and
Washington.
A need of closer sympathy and the
comparison of views and experiences
was soon felt, and led to the first in
ternational convention, which met in
Buffalo in 1854. A central committee
was located in Washington, with cor
responding members representing every
section ; and the organization continued
to prosper until the breaking out of the
late “ war between the States.” In
1860 the convention met in New Or
leans, and 200 active associations were
reported.
During the war the young men were
in the armies, and many of the associa
tions were disbanded. At the North
several attempts to call a general con
vention resulted in failures, and it was
not until 1866, at Albany, that the work
was fairly inaugurated again. In the
South there was no attempt at a gene
ral organization, and most of the local
associations went down ; but it is pro
per to say a large number of associa
tions were organized in the Confederate
armies, and did a noble work in bring
ing their comrades to Jesus and build
ing up in the faith professed Christiaus
among them. Many of these associa
tions had respectable libraries, kept up
well organized Bible classes, conducted
excellent schools, at which many a poor
fellow was (as one of them expressed
it) “taught to read God’s word and
write to his wife,” and others were
taught the classics and higher mathe
matics, and did a general work of
Christian benevolence among their
comrades, and even the destitute poor
at home—e. g., the association of Wil
cox’s old Alabama brigade had a ser
mon of one of their chaplains (Rev.
J. J. D. Reufroe) printed in tract
form and distributed among their
frieuds at home, and a number of the
associations followed in a movement
which was first imitated by the associ
ciation of Harris’ Mississippi brigade,
and deserves to be written among the
most self-deuying Christ iau acts which
the world’s history affords. In the
winter of 1864, when our at my along
the Rapidan was on starvation rations,
these men resolved to fast one day every
week and send that dag's rations to the
suffering poor of the city of Richmond;
and right nobly did they carry out
their resolution.
But these army associations, of
course, melted away with the dissolu
tion of the armies, and association
work has been languishing in the
South, though it is now happily re
viving.
In 186 b the Executive Committee was
located in New York, the publication of
a quarterly was ordered, and the hold
ing of State Conventions recommended.
In 1869 Mr. Richard C. Morse was ap
pointed General Secretary, and has
proven a most laborious aud efficient
officer. H. Thane Miller, of Cincinnati,
the eloquent blind layman ; George A.
Hall, of Washington, and other efficient
workmen, have assisted him in visiting
various sectious in the interest of as
sociation work, and the progress has
been steady and in the highest degree
gratifying.
The Executive Committee were able
to say in their report last year :
“When the committee was appointed
we numbered 120 associations; now
the names of 900 are on the roll. Then
a single building fund had been partly
raised ; now we rejoice in 48 buildings,
worth $2,000,000, and 47 funds, which
already amount to over half a million.”
The report of the oommittee this
year v ill be even more encouraging.
There are now over one hundred
thousand active members of associa
tions in co-operation and correspou
deuce with this general organization.
Relation of the Y. M. C. A.’s to the
Churches.
At Detroit in 1868, and again at Port
land in 1869, this convention adopted
what is known as the “Evangelical
Church test,” the effect of which is that
no local association can be represented
in this body unles its constitution lim
its its voting and office-holding mem
bers to those who are in full com
munion with some evangelical church.
The views of the association on their
relation to the churches were so well
presented in an address of welcome
delivered before the New York State
Convention last October by Rev. E. Q.
Thurber that the following extract is
given:
“Yog have not known denomination
al lines. Rising above these barriers
you have fused in th e higher atmos
phere of Christian iovo. You have
sought to mingle the fervent and pro
gressive Methodist, the decided and
yet catholic Baptist, the free and yet
governed Congregationalism children
of the Puritans, the churchly Episco
palian, who, while holding to the direct
line Qf apostolio succession, gives this
Christian commentary on the idea,
those who have the faith of Christ are
of the succession ; the Presbyterian,
who believes in the sovereignty of
God, the free will of man, and perse
verance in faith and work to reach the
results of these. It is a singular mix
ture. They belong together. We need—
the church needs—these elements, aqd
when united we cap say ‘we believe iq
the Roly Catholic Church, the com
munion of saints,’ and, ‘speaking the
truth in love, may grow up into Him in
all things which is in the Head, even
Christ; from whom the whole body
fitly joined together and compacted by
that which every joint supplieth, ac
cording to the effectual working in the
measure of every part, maketh in
crease of tiie body unto the edifying
of itself in love.’
“You have done something towards
this result. It was in your beautiful
and commodious building in New York
that the late sessions of that ever
memorable Convention of the Evan
gelical Alliance was held—a gathering
portraying that beautiful spirit of which
the psalmist says : ‘Behold, how good
and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity.’
“You are also helping to solve the
problem of lay activity and lay preach
ing—a question which has been one of
long and anxious interest to the Church
—‘How to organizo and employ its
forces.’ The Church has been some
times like the heathen devotee, who,
for want of something better to do,
holds his right arm in a rigid position
until it is paralyzed.
“There are talents buried, powers
unused, men of great capability inac
tive ; and while this condition may be
owing in part to individual indisposi
tion, it has also been brought about by
an undefined and vague perception of
many ways in which earnest men may
be useful. You have pointed out me
thods of work, yeu have enlisted the
sympathies of inactive Christians and I
converted their powers into industrious
forces. You have enlisted laymen to
speak of Christ to those who are far re
moved from the ministrations or the
sanctuary, and you have supplemented
the labor of an already over-taxed
ministry. And, may I say it, you are
teaching ministers some lessons in
practical talk to men. Mr. D. L. Moody
is an exponent of the work of Young
Men’s Christian Associations.
“There have been some misunder
standings that have brought on heart
burn.
“ - ’lis true, ’tis true, ’tis pity,
And pity ’tis ’tis true.’
“But you have been a stimulus, and
when iu a tender spirit we have been
brought near our common Saviour, we
have appreciated each other, as the
Scotch ministry are appreciating
Moody, and the churches of Massa
chusetts the labors of K. A. Burnell.
“The gospel is the ball, but you must
have firearms of various kinds for
different work iu the service; and then
you must have the powder to give
power to ball and gun. If a man shoots
a robber with a pistol I will not up
braid him that he did not use a cannon,
though that would be better against a
fort.
“It has been said that the church is
the divinely appointed agency for
Christian work and saving the world,
and that the associations are in con
flict with this idea; but when the
Church desires to carry on work among
the heathen, she organizes a foreign
board of missions, adding to her in
strumentalities, When she desires to
disseminate a Christian literature, 3he
organizes a denominational board of
publication, or unites in a union board,
such as the Tract Society, and employs
co-operation. When she desires to cir
culate Bibles, she organizes the Bible
Society. And what are these associa
tions but organized boards for the
Church to act in a united capacity in
another direction ? It is the Board of
Missions for young men.
“I find that one of the resolutions
adopted at a general convention reads
as follows ;
“ ‘Resolved, That we considsr it the
bounden duty of the members of all Young
Men’s Christian Associations to hold their
duties and obligations to their respective
churches and to the services of thestme
as having prior claim upon their sympa
thies and efforts.’
“ This action disclaims any conflict
of aim or work. With your more than
900 associations in our land you are
helping the church life and work of
our country.
“You are*giving us practical methods,
and the quickening pulse of the Church
in rnauy places, coming through your
instrumentality, is in itself the en
dorsement of your work. We hail you,
then, as of us and with us. We need
your inspiration in our city. Your
prayers, your words, aud your work,
we welcome. We believe our homes
shall be hallowed by your presence,
and at our altars of devotion the as
cending prayers shall go up on the
wing of a stronger faith. We welcome
your speech and influence to our young
men, whom we hold dear, and for
whose Christian manhood we labor and
pray.
“Iu the pressure of the hand, in the
kind words of greeting, and in the
sympathy of our hearts, we trust you
will find your welcome; and our pray
ers shall be that the Holy Spirit may
inspire and guide our deliberations to
the glory of God and the good of men.”

Alabama’s Financial Condition.
The Montgomery Advertiser, in an arti
cle urging the necessity for reducing the
expenses of the State of Alabama through
reforms that can only be effected by the
agency of a Constitutional Convention,
makes a statement of the indebtedness and
resources of the State that will be of inter
est to our Alabama readers. The Adverti
ser states the liabilities as follows, from
data derived from the Auditor’s otlice:
Endorsed bonds $12,751,050
Interest for three years. 3,iiGo’oOu
Straight bonds to A. &C. R K.. . 2,000,000
Interest three years 480,090
Straight bonds to M. A. E. It. R. . 300,000
Interest three years 72,000
Total railroad debt $18,663,000
Bonded debt (proper) including
trust funds $10,452,593
Interest, say 1,000,000
Add bonds issued in 1872 l.’ooo’ooo
r “ “ “ “ 1873 900,000
Interest, say 84,407
. . Total “straight” debt $13,457,000
Add railroad debt ami interest... 18,663,000
T °tl ••• $32,100,000
To meet the yearly interest on this vast
debt and run/the State government on its
present expensive schedule will cost not
less than three millions of dollars per an
num. The interest alone amounts to verv
near two millions of dollars. How is this
money to be raised ? The taxable proi>ei ty
of the State is returned at $159,000,000, and
the present State tax of % of 1 per cent, will
bring in only $1,192,500 or it. The State
tax would have to be raised to two percent,
or *2O on the SI,OOO, to pay the present
current liabilities, and this would be ruin
to tlio people. They could not and would
not, stand It. The only remedy, save re
pudiation, is to compromise the railroad
debt (by substitution of reduced subscrip
tions for endorsements, or some other plan
acceptable to both parties) and a material
reduction of the expenses of the State
government. The latter can only be effect
ed by constitutional amendments, and this
fact makes the proposed convention almost
a matter of necessity.
