A METHODIST PREACHER IN STATE
PRIsoN.-We doubt not the whole church
will blush throughout this vast country
nay, perhaps the shame will cross the At
lantic and mantle the cheeks of sour
Brithish brethren" especially when they
learn the enornity, the concentrated, un-
speakable, inexcusable malignity of the
crime of which he was convicted! Indeed,
We do not see how the churches in the vi
cinity can endure the shock, more especial
ly when to our certain knowledge many
Methodist ministers are guilty of the same
crime in a higher degree. Indeed, we may
as well confess it, We ourselves, many years
ago, while pastor of a certain circnit in the
N. Y. Conference, more than committed
the same crime while riding on the Hudson
River Railroad-it was not pocket picking
and our eyes often filled with tears at
the time. Fortunately We escaped con-
riction then, though after more extra
Judicial and extraordinary judicial decisions
of the Supreme Court, it is not improbable
that our guilt will be ferreted out, and that
condign punishment will be inflicted upon
us.
The culprit in this case is the Rev. Sam
uel Green, Of Cambridge, Dorchester Co.
Nd. We have previously noticed bis crime
and punishment, but were not aware then
that the criminal was a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Notwith-
standing the disgrace of it, we are bound
to acknowledge the fact. The crime Of

CLosESEss OF THE TIMEs.-In anuounc
ing the suspension of the well known house
of Garner & Co., of New York, long re
garded as one of the wealthiest firms in the
country, the Evening Post says.
Their payments for the month Of Octo
Der amount to about one million of dollars
They have offered to make a sacrifice o.
half million of dollars in order to raise
a sufficient sum to carry them through; but
the money could not be had, and they have
wisely preferred to stop at once. The as
sets Of the house are said to be much lar.
ger than liabilities, without touching theil
mill property, in which they have invested
three millions of dollars.
Several thousand pcol l. are dependent
upon them for labor.
Mr.. Garner failed in 1882, compromised
with his creditors, and after three years Of
prosperity, paid them all up in full.
They have been instrumental during the
present panic, in sustaining several other
houses who are now able to go on with
their business, relying on their undoubted
credit to meet their own engagements.

promotngs Of tender conscience, as in his
.Picture Of Slavery" bring him before an
Ecclesiastical Court and if you can not
send him TO prison, do the next best thing
you can to suppress this reasonable rebel
hon, this uprising of an untamed instinct
against the laws and practice on which the
very framework of society is based!
Who does not rejoice that we are q law
making and lax-abiding people? We
can look down with sovereign contempt
on France, Russia, Turkey, China, England,
and all other half-civilized countries, and
call upon the people to throw of all chains
and emulate us, the freest and most en-
lighteued and liberal and humane and hap
py people on the globe. The Rev. Samuel
Green is in Jail.
Then shall he say also unto them on
the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire prepared for the devil
and his angels: For / was an hungered,
and ye gave me no meat: l was thirsty,
end We gave me no drink:
was stranger aud ye took me not in !;
naked and We clothed me not: sick, and in
prison, and We visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying,
Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or
thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or
in prison, and did not minister unto thee !!
Then shall He answer them, saying,
Verify say unto You, Inasmuch as ye did
it not to one of the least of these, ye did
it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlast-
ing punishment: but the righteous into
life eternal.
Poor Rev. Samuel Green. We would
sympathize with thee, but the institutions
of society, and the peace ofthe church must
not be disturbed! Why was Christ so
awfully plain in his doctrines?

Stute, through its delegate, Mr. Rice. 1t is
estimated that census to determine the

thousand, and that, by the time it shall be
taken it will amount to number sufficient TO
give this Aourishing territory right to at

estimated that the population will have be-

recently been visited again by one of their
idol deities. His arrival has caused an in
tense excitement among the inhabitants, who
appear TO lmve4ull faith in him, and mono of
them dared to enter the house where he was
reported to be. Messrs. Sturges and Doan,
American Missionaries there, being inyitcd TO
,pay His Majesty n visit, passed the sacred
barrier of mats, entered the holy precinct,
sat down on the throne, and after some con.
versation detected his worship TO be u woman

with the god for SO dcceiving the people,
(many of whom were in the same roon,,)
but theinsuted Diuiaiiy Immediately replied
to them by calling for a gun, which WAS not
