constrained to honor the good sense Of Dean,

former against that OF the latter.
HoLDISo ON.-The old ofHoeholders' tick
ct, nominated by the Democracy Of Iowa,
are true to their instincts. Wilson, Of Du-
buque, still holds on to the District Judge
ship while pressing bis claims to the Supreme
Bench, and Mason clings to his position as
legislator for public schools, while hoping
that something may "turn up'' to elevate
him to the Supreme Judgeship. Rabbit was
turned out Of office because he would not
pay over Government money, and Dodge
yielded to the outside pressure and resigned
his position under duress. But they will
both get an Office or be otherwise CONS snsa.

Baptist council sitting in Keokuk las
week, turned Mr.. Allen oat Of the church ant
deposed him from the ministry for maintain
ing "open communion" views. But it woult
seem that while the Baptists.of Keokuk hav
thus lost member and minister, on &C
count Of open communion, the Baptists o
Nantucket have received and ordained Al
other OF precisely the same views as thos
held by Mr.. Allen.
The question 10 evidently a very nice one
and it 10 to be regretted that Preacher o
Righteousness Of so much devotion and abil
ity should be silenoed in Keokuk, for enter
tanning views which are no obstacle to til
ordination Of a new minister in Nantucke,
We clip q statement OF the Nantucket cas-
from an exchange:
Mr.. George Howell, who was refuse
ordination by Baptist council at East Bos
ton last spring, on account OF his doubt
whether Baptism was nm indispensable pro
requisite to the LORDS Supper, has bee
called TO the pastorship Of Baptist ohurc
in Nantucket. A council met to ordain him
Although eighteen churches were invited
only FIVE delegates were present 10 additio
to those who were members of the Nantucke
church. The Waterman and Reflector say
that Mr.. Howell read q newly prepared pa
per, unfolding his opinions as TO the com
munloh question, and then announced to til
council that he should answer no question:
and make no further statement whatever o
the subject OF the paper. The paper prove
beyond question that the candidate did NO
oa.iavs i 70 90 prerequisite, and this inter
probation OF the paper was admitted by tn
Newport pastor, yet he earnestly advocate
the candidates ordination. The council an
pointed . committee to recall the candidat,
but the candidate refused to return. Aft,
considerable discussion, the council vote,
six to two, that it was satisfied with b
views, and would proceed to ordain him.
