Mr.. EDrroR:- XII
In reading late number Of the "Re-
ligious Telescope" published at Dayton,
Twas struck with the change which few
short years had wrought'in the Church ol
the "Unitcd Brethren in Christ by no
ticing a couple ofletters under the sigma
lures Of "REIKA" and "ELvA." (Those
personagcs may think their humble SER
want had better mind her own business,
but we ould beg leave 10 inform their
ladyships, that we are q little smarter
than common, and consequently can at,
tend to our own affairs, and besides, be,
stow some attention to righting up our
neighbor's mistaken ideas,) Ina the first
place. / think it is quite mistaken idea
that the lot Of a minister's wife is SO hard a
one as represented 1t asedto be, but
now we laboring ones must bear--not only
the expense, but all the ceusure they may
see ft to heap on our devoted heads, be.
cause, we see proper to reserve bne hal
Of our hard earnings for the support of oul
families. But we will not be too hard
on "Reika," she may have trials Of which
we do not dream; but let me ask you
confdentially what were you doing while
you waited for those donations Were
you performing the duties which every
poor mans wife must perform? Yes, poor
mans wife, (you for the matter Of your
husbands being minister, are no better
than the wife of the commonest laborer;
but as / was saying--was you superceding
the necessity Of the additional expense
of domestic or did you sit idly down
and toy with your lily fingers, and wait
for the congregation 10 bring you. the ne
cessities which Mey had earned by the
sweat of their brows. Truly my dear
"Reika' the laborer is worthy Of his hire
but methinks it would require almost an
endless amount of said "hire" to crafty
the Incidence and extravagance Of minis
ter's wives nowadays. But it was not
always thus; time was when the wives ol
ministers spun, and wove, and raised thcil
families unmurmuringly. asking little rec
ompense save seals to the ministry of theil
husbands, and these women were no less
intelligent than the conceiled nuisanccs o.
the present generation; no indeed. Now
"Reika" while YOU are calling on Others
10 help you let me say-help yourself.

Democratic Advice 10 the Legislature.
q The Ohio Patriot Democratic, } Of last
week, contains the following:
"ApJoURN! ADJouRSl-From present
indications, our sapient but unfortunate
law makers OF Columbus, will put in the
winter at their delightful occupation Of
spending the peoples money. They are
set Of arrant humbugs as ever got four
dollars day. They could have finished
all their business in two weeks, and closed
the extra session before now, to tho en-
tirc satisfaction oftheir constituents. We
have no doubt many things in the laws
Of the State could be improved but the
people could get along very well withou,
any of the proposed revisions--aud from
the apparent want Of discretion in the
Legislative body, this winter, at Colum.
bus. we doubt their ability to benefit the
people they would live at the capital an
entire year. Their refusal to comply with
the expressed wishes Of the masses that
they should hold a short session shows
that they do not care much for the in.
terest Of those they represent.
We.propose that if the Legislature have
not adjourned by the first Of February,
the democratic editors 60 down to Co.
lumbus, and each one bring one or two
of our mis-representatives bome--rip the
members legislative from the body legis.
lative, and save the democracy Of the
State at the expense Of the hotels and
drinking saloons Of Columbus. We hope
our brethren Of the press will speak out
and speak the sentiments of the people
against protraclion Of this extra sassion.

The "IIome league" formed by the farr,

tire tract Of country where lands have
been mortgaged: by railroad companies
and embraces probably 5000 to 6.oo0
persons. The organization is a secret one
bound together by oaths, and its secrecy
is protected by signs. grips and pass words
1t was at FIRST given out that their objects
were simply to protect, by legal means,
the possession Of their property. But al
doubts arise whether sny valid legal de.
fence can be setup, the "Home League
is changed, and the defense Of their prop
erty by any cans that may become nee
essary, is its object. We learn from tht
Beaver Dam Citizen that atthe last meet
ling Of this "League." held at Rolling
Prairie few days ago, a resolution wal
passed, declaring virtually that. fan at

sort to some violent measures, either TO
resisting such collection, or for giving vx
preston to the feeling uppermost in thei
minds, that they have been deeply wrong

On Friday night last private meeting
was called at The St. Lawrence Hotel, in
this city. The persons who convened the
meeting were the chiefs and leaders Of
the late reception given to Mr.. Douglas.
After those invited were assembled in a
quiet and private way, tho object was
made known by Forney, who acted as
spokesman and leaderto them. He made
"a proposal that instant and prompt action
should be had to invite Douglas to ac-

Attorney General Knox, also present
dissented from the proposals Of Forney
The ground taken by him was, that it wa'

course would be to submit the claims o

Decline of Government Credit

Eighteen months ngo Government was
paying premium Of fifteen per cent to
buy up its own stocks. At that time
money was loaned on call in New York
at seven per cent. Now. with money
abundant at four TO five per cent, a new
issue of Government stocks has just been
sold at a premium Of only two and half
per cent. If there was panic in the
money market or a scarcity Of money, it
might account for this great falling off in
tee value Of Government stocks, but this
has taken place in the face Of a plethora
Of money seeking safe investment. What
has cnused this loss Of credit? Nothing
but the certainty that continued loans are
inevitable; that the United States govern
mcnt will be constantly in market as a
borrower; that its necessities will absorb
the entire unemployed capital Of the ma
ton, and that another Government loan
will be wanted by tho time the stock just
put in market can be disposed Of. 1t can
not reasonably be expected that the next
loan will realize NOR ethan par. Such f.
nancial results in two years, decline Of
government credit Of fifteen per cent, q
debt Of about sixty millions, and no re-
course for the future except to borrow,
should immortalize this administrations
