PROTESTANT E~PIscoPAL * METHODIST
EPIscoPAL.-The Protestant Church
nsan gives the following contrast
According to the last census, tAe
number of Methodist Churches in the
United States is 1888; the value ia
Church property sI4,s36, I4s; and the
amount of accommodations, 4,354,101
the number of Episcopal Churches, IA
81 the value Of the Church property,
SII,3s4,2lo, and the Church accomme-
dations e47,52s. Thus it appears that
while the Methodist have nearly twelve
thousand more church buildings, their
properly exceeds only by three and a
half millions. Deducting, say two mill
ions for Episcopal church property, not
represented in buildings, the average
cost of our churches is nearly $1,000
apiece, and that of the Methodist edit
ces a little ovcr $1,000 each. While
ours cost seven times more, they have
nine times as many, and seat seven
times the number"

It Cannot Die.

The Albany Aygus we'll and truthful

er die! 1t is founded on the eternal
principals of truth and justice. Iii in-
herent in the people, and the people in
it. 1t advocates the greatest good of
the greatest number and whilst govern
ment remains in the hands of the people,
it will live through all Vicissitudes,"--
The Past proclaims 1.-THE Present JUS
titles 1.-THE Future will glorify it
We fully and beautifully endorse the
sentiment of the following extract from
the Savannah Georgian.
"From the days gifts organization BY
Jefferson the present time, it has but
gained strength by each successive con
fict. Many other organizations there
have been-scarcely a year passes by
without bringing a new one into existence
but they have been as short lived as
the one which has recently attracted so
much attention in the world. On the
contrary the-great Democratic party of
the American people has lived and four
ished through all changes, and under
every vicissitude of fortune, from the
foundation Of the government to the
present day; and it will, we firmly be-
lieye, continue to live and flourish SO
long as hat government shall last,
the best and most vigilant guardian of
the equal rights it was instituted to
protect.

Correspondence of the st. Louis I~ntelligencer. ]
Indian Outrages---Probab1e Rob-
berry and Murder of an Emf
grant Train.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, June 8, 1855.
Frenchman, arrived from Seargeant's
Bluffs, and states hat -Four Bears"
the chief of the Kittle Band of Sioux,
had just come in, bringing with Kim
thirty lodges. That they left the main
body of the Sioux at Bear Greek, COM
ing 800 miles west Of Fort Laramie,
twenty-five days since, and that at that
time, the Sioux had 100 wagons, plenty
OF -four and meat, twenty women and
children, and among them, two negro
women. From this we think they must
have taken to a Mormon train, bound
from Salt Lake to Bear Greek, where
we know they intended making a settle
ment this spring, Nothing was said of
seeing white men among them, and We
have no doubt they were all killed
Four Bears is in favor ofpeace, has
been to Washingtoc, aud knows the
power of the whites, and finding his na-
ton determined on war, has come il
with his small bank.
Gallineau has for n wife, a.daugbter of
Four Bears, and says he does not Think
his father-in-law would deceive him.
Beside, Mr.. Xavietteat, and the French
here, believe tho report, and they have
the best means of informatiosN
The emigrshts here from three to four
weeks s;uce, have hardly had time to
get beyond Fort Laramie, and are do
not know of any trains leaving Inarpen-
dence or St. Joseph.
The Omahas received their annuity
at black bird hills a week since, and i'm
mediately came here purchasing goods
and horses. They bought over Is nor
ses, paying fine prices-many of them
as high as $3.50. Tt was an amusing
scene to see the horse jockey and the
Indian on a trade. 1t is hard, howev-
err, to cheat them, as they are pretty fair
judges of horse flesh. The Olnahas have
become very poor, and had lost nearly
all their horses-so that this annuity
was indeed a blessing to them. They
are now tolcrably well mounted, and
with the Pawnees start Immediately of
on their annual Buffalo hunt.

The Fight Between "Sam and
"Sambo."

The New York E1press, Il K. N. old
line Wing paper, after giving the ma
jority and minority reports or platforms
of the National K.N. Convention, at
Philadelphia, sums up the Fight be-
tween Sam and Sanbe as follows :
Thus Sambo South :" and Sambo
North" with their ultraisms, kill poor
Sam" who appears to have little or
nothing to do in the Convention.
The minority report was sigucd by
Ex-GoV. Johnston, Penn; Thos. H.
Ford, O.; John II. Seyward, Maine ;
A. Green, Rhode Island Hon. Schuyl.
er Colfax, Indiana, NJ. C.-elect n. D.
Speray, Conn; ex-Gov. A. Colby, n. II.
John W. Foster. Mass; Joseph Fl. Bar
rett, Vermont; D F. Wood, Wisconsin;
Rev. J. Cogshall, Michigan: W. j
Phelps, III.
Twelve in all. Richard B. Clement,
of Delaware, and G. d. Deshier, of New
Jersey, went for the first clause of the
minority report, disappearing of the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise.
Two ex-governors of States, one mem
Der of Congress elect, and the oil Web
stcr aid Clay Wigs ofFths North,
aec1n against The majority platform.-
There has been no soundey man in the
Northern States than Mr.. Foster of
Massachusetts.
In the general council, when the resi-
buttons were reported, Gov. Gardner, ot
Massachusetts,, took up the gauntlet,
and declared that neither he nor his
State, nor a majority of the Free, States
would abide by the resolutions first re-
ported. The party could not clrry a
village in Massachusetts, upon them.
The people of the North has a little
alarmed people, and hence it is now pro-
posed to dilute the majority resolutions
a little. and then put them through.
TIE council will thus be broken in
two pieces -North and South. The
two Sambos-southern and northern
will have ousted Sam, who will have to
muster his clans again exclusive of
Sambo,
The spectacle here is curious. The
Sewar iites of the North have got into
the council three or four ultra abolition
men, on purpose to make mischief, and
as outsiders of the council, they have in
pay two or three from New York, but
especially one mot Mr.. Lyons) so pro-
slavery that he is repudiated everywhere
south out of South Carolina and Alaba-
ma for Overcoming his pay.
Thus, Sam is assailed by dou lie Sc
ward tactics-the ultra southrea South
and New York, and the ultra Sambo of
Massachusetts in part, Maine, and the
lake shore of Ohio and Indiana.
Poor Sam The democracy will now
cut him all up, as the Sambos North and
South have cut him to pieces, and lay
him out in Northern and Southern sill
ces. The negro is death to every party
that touches him.
By Telegraph today.
Negro, negro, negro, negro, negro,
slavery, slavery, anti-slavery, auti- slave
ry, abolition, pro-slavery, is the summa-
ry of what is going on as yet to-day in
the council. All Sambo, no Sam.

touches upon the much vexed question of keeping
the streets clean. The whole amount expended for
cleaning the streets and removing garbage, after de-
Quoting thereceipts for manure, was $33, 225 This

that expended by any ofour great cities for this pur
pose; and yet, it may be safely sad, there is not

PopIsH CoSsPIRAroRs.--They are in Europe
they are in America-they are everywhere. They
work in secret, In the dark. These conspirators Of
the Pope never sleep while they have the slightest
hope Of gaining for their master some Protestant
prize, however Insignificant it may be. Scattered
over Europe these conspirators are to be found.
Just now they move about the camps Of the battle
field. They CLEAN information from wounded and
dying Protestants, under false pretensions, TO con-
vey to Rome, or to the enemy. We CLEAN this in
formation from one of the solemn and deeply af
fecting prayers ordered by authority Of Parliament,
to be offered in all the churches. The people OF
England are directed TO return thanks to God that
at the battle Of Inkemann that, God did "pre-
serve Church and State from secret continuance
and hellish malice of Popish conspirators" If the
people Of England have cause thus TO offer up
prayer that they may be delivered from these CON

VERDICT OF THE JURY IN THE SHOOTING CASE
The jury summoned by the coroner to invest.
gate the of the death of the notorious George
Goings, the negro who was shot by Waterman
Kitchen, the circumstances of which our readers
have been informed, gave their verdict yesterday
THAT the said G. Goings being discovered in the
commission of burglary in the store of Evan Lyons
Esq, about half past twelve o'clock in the morn
ing Of 18th January, 1856, by Jesse Kitchen and
Grafton Harper, officers of the corporation of
Georgetown in the discharge Of their duty as night
watch and while said Harper had gone for assist
ance, said Gongs came out of the store; and after
calling for his comrade rs he approached said
Kitchen, attempted to make his escape, and was
ordered by said Kitchen to stand, or he would
shoot !; and ON his refusal to do so, said Kitchen
shot at him, and according to the post norton ex-
animation by a physician, the ball passed through
the bones of the neck, and thus causing instanfa-
taneous death and from all the evidence and cir
cumstances attending the case, the jury believe
that said Kitchen was in the faithful discharge Of
his duty"

CALCULATION IN REGARD TO COUNTING GoLD
CoIys.-A writer in the Boston journal makes the
following curious calculations The enormous sum
of s204, 100000 in gold has been received at the
mint at Philadelphia from California, from the
first discovery of the precious metal to December
LIST, 1883. Now, In order TO give some idea TO the
general reader of the immense amount Of e2o4,-
100000, will merely state that, allowing each sill
yer dollar to weigh one ounce avoirdupois, sixteen
TO the pound, the weight would be I2,I75,oO0
pounds, or 1876 tons, allowing 1000 pounds TO
the ton. To carry this weight, 1t would require
1916 wagons, containing ton each. or $4,000.
Now, suppose each vehicle, drawn bye one horse,
to occupy space Of rs feet, they would extend in
a continuous line fraction short Of thirty miles.
In order to count such vast sum Of money as
this, very few persons have any idea Of the time IL
would require without making calculations to that
effect. Having asked several individuals familiar
with figures how long 1t was would take 10 count
the sum above mentioned, they have so widely diff
fered in time that one could scarcely repress
smile At the result. Now, to ascertain the fact,
which may be made as plain az A O. we win sup
pose person TO count SIXTY of the silver dollars in
minute, 5000 in an hour, AZ, 200 day Of twelve
hours each, or Sundays included) 1898, 900
year. | say to count this stupendous amount of
money In silver dollars, IL would require fraction
short Of thirteen years,
