Of dying superstition; IN France, Belgium, Ger

colpsrtears and other evangelical christians are

In Greece, the missions Of the American Board OF
Commissioners, and of the Protestant Episcopal

to enable them to meet the increasing demand and
the same is true Of Asia Minor and Syria. The

MAY 22.-Ihe People Of the State of ~ y. VS..
The Phenir Bank.-Some time back information
in the nature of quo rearranfo, was filed b. the
Attorney General Of the State, calling upon the
chartere company. known as the Phcnix Bank, TO
how why their charter should not be annulled
in consequence Of certain alleged informalities
which had been committed by the officers Of said
bank. Since the filing ofthc information, the Gov
ernor and Senate have appointed new State Direc-
tor in the person Of w. Ii. Townsend and the
coming up for argument this day, Mr.. Lord, Jr. and
Mr.. Prescott Hall showed cause against the rule.
The principal point in the argument Of these gen
temen rested on the fact ofthis appointment which
they contended put at rest any errors which the Of
fcers Oft bank had committed
The Attorney General .brehylreplied, and the
Court said they would take time TO look into the
case, and give their opinion in the course OF the
term.
The People of the State VS.. The Mayor and Com
monahfy-Mr. Cutting and the Attorney General
appeared i'm support of the ,c,t of quo trarranfo,
which had seen sued out at the instance Of Justice
Merritt, calling upon the Defendants to shsw
why they claimed to sit as Judges Of the County
Court.
Mr. Cuttins conterded that the Aldermen could
| not be Judges OF the County Court, because they
elected by the people, and for only one year,
whereas the constitution Of this State clearly de-
fined the duties Of Judge of the County Court, and
had stated that judge ofthat court should
hold his Office for five years, and in support Of this
opinion, the learned gentleman cited the constitu-
tion aud several that had been decided before
this court. He also commended, that the constitu-
| ton had expressly debarred the Board Of Alder
men from interfering with the Special Justices, in
order prevent this cutting off heads which other
| wise would become work Of annual recurrence
| To illustrate this argument Mr. &. said, that
he had been at the BAR more impeachment cases had
come up before the County Court than in the State
Of New York, and under the general government.
Since the adoption Of the constitution Of this State,
not single case Of impeachment was record,
and under the United States not above four had
| occurred in half a century.
The Court adjourned before the Corporation law

RECEIrrs sr 1899 40.

The above tables are rather interesting, as show
ing hich societies are most popular with the COM
manity in trying time, and which are best enabled
to weather the storm of pecuniarv distress. The
Female Moral Reform, the Anti.Slavery, the TEN.
perance, the Education and the Bible Societies have
increased. The Tract and Foreign Missionary So
cieties have fallen off; but then these two latter
alone expend over $3Ooo00 annually. Last year
they expended over 100000, and this year their
joint receipts have been 1920
However, they have stood the storm, and are now
safe enough; and Satan may well renquish all
attempts to hold to the dominion of this world
any longer. Although the total receipts of the
Lead ing societies have been few thousands less
this year, yet they have not been five per cent less
than the aggregate receipts of last year; whereas,
nm the other hand, produce and commodities Of all
kinds have fallen at least 80 per cent which clear
gain of % per cent to the cause of religion; as sa
tan can be fought that much cheaper than before.
And, in proof of this, we have the number of

Besides this vast amount Of money sent abroad to
