Martyred Missionaries i'm India.

The last ray of hope has been dspelled by
the late arrival of news from India, and we
must now record, with feelings of the pro-
foundest sorrow that there is every reason to
believe the four missionary families of the
PRESBYTERIAN Board at Futchgurh have per-
ished in the massacre. They have been
traced to the vicinity of Cawnpore, and it
was hoped that when Gen. HavelOck arrived
there. he would find them alive, and rescue
them from the insurgents, but he reports but
one white person as saved, and her name is
given so that the painful fact is pressed
upon our hearts that our brethren and sis
tiers, our dear friends Freeman, and Camp
bell, and johnson and McAlullen, and their
wives, and two children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell, have fallen victims to the awful
instruction in India.
Rev. John E. Freemat went out ia 1888,
and has been q faithful missionary for about
19 years. He married Miss Beach, in New
ark, N. j., who died about ten years ago.
MIR. F. afterwards married valued friend of
ours, Miss, Vredenburg, lady of great &C.
complishments and worth, with large circle
of friends in this city and New Jersey.
Rev. David A. Campbell was from Wis.
consin, and his wife from Ohio.
Rev. Albert o. johnson and wife are both
from Western Pennsylvania.
Rev. Robert E. McMullen was from Phil.
adelphia, and his vito was Miss Pierson,
from Patterson, N. j. All of them were
among the most able and useful missionaries
of the Board, and their loss is blow to the
work, compared with which the destruction
of 100000 worth of property in India, is not
to be mentioned. These houses, and presses
and churches can be rebuilt, but who will be
baptised for the dead IN y. Obsrs~.

Important Decision fthc Attorney Gen.
The following recent decision of the At
torney General is of great Importance to all
pcstmasterS:
SIR: Your letter of the ODD inst, has been
received. in which you ask my opinion on the
right Of postmasters to be credited in certain
cases for stamps and stamped envelopes not
returned nor used. A close consideration of
the act of Congress, the practice of the De-
partment, the decisions of the Supreme
Court upon analogous questions, (3 How.
578, Il low. 154, and the general princi-
pies of law applicable to the SUBJECT, has
brought me to the conclusion that the follow
ing rules ought to be concluded as settled and
clear
l. A postmaster should have credit, for
stamps cost the Government so little to get
them made, that it can hardly be counted
Their value consists in the fact that each of
them represents three cents in the payment
of postage. Their destruction is therefore
no appreciable loss to the Government, and
no gain at all to any one else. An officer
ought not to suffer for an unavoidable acct
dent hich does no HARM
2. But if the stamps should be stolen or
lost, and get into the hands of those who
may use them, and thus deprive the govern
ment of so much revenue, the postmaster
should be held for them. One who has the
custody Of public money and property, and
is paid for taking care of it, cannot get rid of
it by showing theft or an accidental loss
He is an insurer of its safety against all per-
il of that kind.
3. If he destroys them by his own wan
ton act, or negligently suffers them to be de-
stroyed he is answerable on the principle
vantage from his own violation of duty.
4. When postage stamps are sent to a
postmaster by mail, they are charged against
him at the time teey are sent, and the pre-
sumption is that he received them. If he
demand a credit on the ground that he new
cr got them, he should be required to repel
the presumption by his oath at least, and by
all other proof which, in the particular case,
he can produce. But, if the Postmaster
General is satisfied that they never reached
him, he ought to have the credit His legal
responsibility does not actually begin till he
has them in his hands.
5. IF he asserts that he returned strmps
to the Department which never came there.
and proves that he mailed them, he is entitled
to credit for in sending them he does his du-
". and the subsequent loss of them is not
his fault. But he should be held to strict
proof of this by something stronger than his
own oath. He can easily get witness to the
act Of mailing them. l am, &c.,

Tho German Vote in saltwater.

In the present campaign the Germans of
of this CITY and county did nobly. More than
three-tourths # them voted the straight Re-
publican ticket. They learned from sad ex
perience that the present Democratic party
is sham--a cheat--detrimenta to the free
!aboring interests of the country-gallantly
did they fight under the banner Of free labor
and free institutions. Every stratagem that
political ingenuity and partizan reckIessness
could devise was brought to bear upon them,
to hold Them to the brogue Democracy but
they stood CALAMITY by in unbroken pha.
lax for free labor and free men.-Giuwater

DR.. O'CoNNER, the Catholic Bishop OF
Pittsburgh, Pa, in discourse recently de-
livered in Dublin, stated that our Catholic
population is from two to three millions, or
about one-tenth or one twelfth of the whole.
lie denied that there was much falling away
from the faith. Very few Catholics emf,
CRATE from any country but ireland, and
among the Irish emigrants were surprising
ly large number of Protestants. For long
time they exceeded the Catholics. But
while the, adults were not oftener apostates
than in Ireland. children were lost to the
Church by hundreds Of thousands. He
would neither advise or dissuade from en-
grafton without knowledge of the individu-
al. But emigration could net be stopped at
any rate. Therefore those who came ought
to be particularly prepared for it by the
Church.-Bnfalo Ez.

NINTH STREET BLOCKED Up.-Near the
German Catholic Cathedral, there is small
piece of ground owned either by the Church
or the Bishop, which lies directly in the
street. 1t occupies about the tenth of an
acre, and if purchased by the city, Ninth
street could be opened from the Capitol
westward, and connecting with Exchange
street at an easy angle, form direct COM
munication from that place to the Winslow
and American Houses. This would make
wide and fine avenue, and open good proper
ty on both sides.

CoTTAGEs.-How much little taste will
do towards identifying an humble home
We noticed a little "shanty" yesterday which
had nothing to distinguish it in position, size
or architecture from hundred others around
it. Yet it was whitewashed, and sod bank,
etc. surrounded it, that made it irnmeasura-
bly, superior to the scores of novels near it.
Clean curtains hung at the windows, and
everything wore an air of neatness. IF the
owners of the dingy hundreds of novels
around the city would only follow this ex-
ample, some Of the neighborhoods crowded
with them would assume nearly respectable
appearance. But we fear nothing can be
done to elevate their tastes in this respect
