FINANCIAL MATTERs.-Yhc Secretary
Of the Nays estimates for last year
were one hundred and thirty-nine mil
lions. For the next fiscal year his esti-
mates are only thirty millions.
The funding process will cease at the
Treasury Department as soon as the
fifty million loan is taken, which will be
within Two or three days All subscrip-
tiors above the amount in transit will
be accepted,
The demand for money in New York
was as active on Saturday as ever. Some
Of the banks are replenishing their re-
serve by withdrawal from the sub treas
ury, but the banks generally are lending
very little. The supply of money comes
chiefly from private bankers. The prev
alent feeling with leaders is that the
extreme stringency may cause break
down somewhere at any moment.
The stock market was rather teyerish
under the extreme stringenCy in the
money market.
The New York Evening Post adVo-
Gates a contraction of the currency, in
accordance with the suggestion of Sec
rotary McCulioch. The Commercial
Advertiser on the other hand, says that
the early results of contraction have
produced feeling of uneasiness and dis
trust; the growing trade of the South
is checked and manufacturing is nipped
in the bud.

continued in session in Philadelphia
Monday. A complete reorganization has
been effected, modelled after onr na-
tional government, with President,
Cabinet, Senate and House of Represen-
tatives. Both houses Of the newly es-

MEETING OF THE STATE CoLoNlzATioN
SocIBTY.-Thc anniversary meeting of
the State Colonization Society held in the
Brick Church Montpelier Thursday eve
ningl6thy was of special iutcresqin view
ofthe position o! this society at the pres
ent time. The exercises were in the main
the reading Of the reports Of the secre-
tary and treasurer and u few impromp-
tn addresses. The financial transat-
tions reported by the treasurer were
within the limits OF sly. hundred dollars,
coming out with , balance on the right
side of about one hundred and sixty
dollars.
The society express themselves as
being greatly encouraged. and about to
begin that work and enter upon that
PROSPEROUS career, which it may be
said, they have looked forward to for a
long time. They are enthusiastic in
1he belief that the civilization and
Christianization OF Africa through their
iDstrumentality, is much nearer then it
was year ago, Their plan is to send
freedmen to Liberia as fast as they are
educated and wish to go there. To
send them faster than that, it is thought,
might have tendency to depress the
rising glory Of the African republic

asked if his family wanted house help.
He replied they did. DO you have small

| A POLITcAL SERMON by BEEcHER.-
Last Sunday night Henry Ward Beecher
preached sermon to his people, in
which he gave an elaborate exposition
OF his views on the present political sit
uation. He endorsed President Johnson
in most unqualified manner, thanking
God that he was q Southern man, be-
cause ne was thereby enabled to treat
all classes OF people at the South more
tSa2irly than a Northern man could do.
The preacher inculcated forbearal zee and
Kindness toward the south--insls ted
that Southern men must regulate negro
suffrage themselves - discountenanced
Northern interference as calculated to
wound their selErespect and make them
always dissatisfied.
He says very justly that the laws and
interests of the Government and our-
selves will prove of no avail if they are
hostile and unpleasant to the white men
o. the South. Their self-respect must
not be offended. He has some kind
words for Gen. Lee. He says In an
hour Of great weakness, he committed
himself to the cause OF the rebellion.
When he laid down his sword who could
be more modest, more quiet, more hon.
orable than he And when he was call
ed TO the Presidency OF the college |
was glad to see him take it. He needed
TO do something to support himself, and
the criticisms by our papers were as I'M
generous as they were unfair. I believe
that the young men who attend that in
stitution will be well drilled in the main,
and l am heartily glad he obtained the
position"
He thinks the freedman ought to have
the right to vote, and that he will have
it eventually; but this does not necessa-
rily make him q social equal. Chow
absurd" says Mr.. B.. to say that be-
cause claim these rights for the black
man, therefore must like him. l con-
TESS I am so thoroughly under the infu-
ence of longtime prejudice, that l have
never felt the slightest inclination to
marry black woman nor do / think
it well that any sort of intermarriage
between blacks and whites should be
permitted. But oh! these Southern
men, how impudent is their talk about |
They are never opposed |
to practical mlscegenation down there.
Their blood is scattered all over their
plantations. We hold that this should
NEVER be; but if it is to be, let it be I'M
der the law of wedlock. These things
are simply prepOsterous, and are not
worth serious consideration.
To those who complain that they new |
er can hear the last Of the negro, he |
says; "Well, why don't you suppress
him? I tell you you've got to dine and
sup on negro until you 90 him Justice.
When you do, he'll sink away from eau
Cuses, conventions or parties; but I'M
less you do, he'll haunt you, he'll haunt |
you here and haunt you there, until a
blacker than he haunts you hereafter"
To all those who attach great impor-
lance to the opinions of Mr.. Beecher,
this sermon will afford good opportu-
nifty Of knowing very accurately what
they are.

Rev. DIR. Chaplin, Of New Y ork, who is ex-
pected to spend a few Sabbaths in this city
during the present warm season, gave the ORA
ton at Albany on the Fourth" in which he
thus touched the subject of negro suffrage:
1t has been ours to re-assert our fathers, de-
claration that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed. We
have the premises, shall we accept the conclu-
sions that government shall have no power ex-
cept by the consent of the governed; that
there shall be no taxation without represen-
tation ~ In the assertion of this principle
our fathers threw the tea into Boston harbor.
How far shall we 60 in asserting it? Shall
there be no taxation of property and yet tax
alton of labor and bones and sinews and
thought and speech and the dearest human
rights? Shall there be taxation OF any class
of men while the men themselves are unrep-
resented? Shall they give their blood in the
hot battle and their sweat in the field, and yet
feel that they have no vital function in the Or
ganization Of the nation? Shall we allow
them the bullet and not the ballotp Fellow
citizens, the principle that gives its distinctive
character to the Declaration is the principle of
universal suffrage. 1t asserts the radical prin-
ciple Of democracy. The condition of unlver-
I sal suffrage should be universal education
/ fApplanse.l The criterion of a mans vote
should be, that he knows why be votes, and
this will be enforced exactly in proportion as
he knows what it is that votes. 1t Is not corn
| that votes, nor cotton, nor greenbacks, nor a
white skin, nor black skin. Its the intelli-
gent win that votes, or should vote. Let the
| qualifications be set forth and known as a
| condition, and it will become universal. You
can lift men into intelligence, the safeguard Of
democracy, but you cannot educate them to

DIR. Nichols, superintendent of the Govern

the prosecution in Mary Harris case. He

certain periods between the time she was

she was insane; and he now entered into ex-
plantations on that subject, and repeating that
the homicide was of insane violence. Iss s.

was put on the stand, and testified positively
that the letters inviting a meeting at an as
signation house were not in his brothers hand
writing Miss Harris had called upon him in
Chicago about the authorship of these letters,
and during this interview DR.. b. said: aMiss
Harris ask you how long a time has my
brother been acquainted with you, and whether
he has ever said anything dishoncrsble to you,
that justiies you in entertaining such suspicious
of him." To which she replied, "He had mott

he had always been her truest and best friend,
and had never said word or done an act
which was not in the highest honor. The
trial will probably end this week.

upTscoPAI, CONVENTION.

The Convention of Clerical and Lay Dele
gates Of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the Diocese Of Maine, commenced its services
in St Lules Church in this city on Wednes-
day morning. After Morning PRAYER, the
Bishop, the Rt, Rev. DR.. Burgess, delivered his
Triennial Charge to the clergy. This able
document, which viii soon appear in print.
deserves honorable mention The subject Of
it was the duty Of religious men, especially
cergymen, in view of the present state of the
country. The proofs Of deep and pervading
sense of Divine Providence in the wears of
the war, were regarded as encouraging the
hope that the better Opportunities for moral
and religious Improvement afforded by the re-
turn OF peace would be faithfully employed;
encouragement was taken from the fact that,
though war always interrupts moral progress,
and that soldiery often demoralizes youth,
our soldiers, having gone out from all classes
OF society, and from principle, have suffered
less in loss Of character than any soldiers in
any wars known in history. There is no ne
ee5sity, said the preacher, that in a war like
ours, men should grow worse; not to engage
in il, on our side would have been sin; and.
such being the case, no soldier need become
wicked while engaged in it. A noble vindica-
ton of the rights Of ministers as asserters Of
national duties, and just discrimination be-
tween the faithful preacher of righteousness
in national affairs, and the political pulpiteer
infaming mems passions, by IGNORANT inter
meddling with politics, formed an important
part of his excellent discourse. That war,
which by those who embroiled us in it, was in
tended 10 enthrone slavery forever, by the dis
ruption Of the Union, had been made to result
in the establishment of the Union on firmel
basis, and in causing the rights of all men OF
every race to be respected, was eloquently de-
claTed TO be cause of thankfulness to God
In what may called che Literature of the War,
no production win be accorded higher place
than this timely discourse.
After the delivery of the charge, three cen.
tlenen were admitted to the diaconate or pri1
mary grade of the ministry in the church,
Messrs. Tucker, McGrath and Briggs. Mr..
Tucker IS well known here as an instructor in
our High School.
From the Bishops Annual Report, and from
the reports from parishes, the cause of the
church in this Diocese appears to be prosper
