An organ has been set up in church IN.
Miramichi, N. B. The congregation are at
loggerheads on the subject, and many have
solemnly protested against its use in church
The great question has been brought before
the Presbyterian Synod Of the Lower Provinces
and there discussed in all Its various aspects
Both the Synod and the Presbytery appear to
have avoided coming to adirect decision on
the subject, and the two parties in the church
continue to agitate and discuss with much feel
ing and some bitterness. We suppose the anti
organ party have a notion that the instrument
cannot ssing with the spirit and the under
standing also" Wefind that all nations have
their great troubles as well as ours. We trust
that this organ question viii be settled without

stopped Over.

Some OF the speakers at the jubiiation in
Washington over the fall of Richmond, stopped
over, They couldn't contain themselves. They
talked as though the war were concluded, our
domestic affairs on a solid footing, our debts paid
off and the nation ready to settle accounts with
the rest of the world. They defed France,
threatened England, patronized Mexico, and
glowered at mankind generally.
II is fortunate, perhaps, for our future welfare
that these sort of people are understood abroad
as thoroughly as at home, and about the same
estimate placed upon their value. On occasion
they blaze up in a pyrotechnic display, which
might be alarming if not so soon over. Put
them into ranks, give them a musket, let them
trudge through a campaign, set them in. the
trenches and on picket posts to be shot at, and
then, when they talk about foreign wars as of a
holiday pastime, the people may listen to them
at least with respect The occupants of lucrative
positions in no danger of smelling gunpowder,
and with an eye on the main chance and a hand
in the treasury pocket, may be in the humor TO
turn fap-doodle in the face of all creation, and
bs fussily demonstrative over the accomplish
ment of events that they have not promoted, and,
perhaps, not retarded but they would exhibit
themselves to better advantage If, before they
talk of foreign wars and new battle fields they

THE New REGISTRY Law OF ILLINoIs.-in
another column we publish the law passed at
the last session of the general assembly of
IIlnoois, providing for the registry of the
names of the electors. IL is hardly probable
that this law was published in time for all the
towns throughout the state To act under its
provisions At the April town elections. But,
as the law seems directory in its character, a
want of compliance with all Of its provisions
will not affect the validity of elections. The
law was enacted to prevent fraudulent voting
and unless it can be made 10 appear that
frauds were actually committed, the election
will be good to ell ihtents and purposes
HdiRes' Legal Adviser
Does the registry law require a registry Of
electors for the April town meetings? We
thought it especially provided that such
registry was required.

THE ACCIDENT TO SECRETARY SEwARD-Our
telegraphic dispatches have mentioned that Mr..
Seward was severely injured the other day by a
fall from his carriage. The accident occurred in
this wise: Upon leaving the state department.
he entered a carriage, with his son, Frederick
Seward, his daughter and another lady. Upon IL
street some disarrangement OF the reins occurred
which the driver got off to remedy, leaving the
reins in Mr.. Stewards hands, After adjusting
them, and before regaining his seat, the horses
started and Mr.. Seward, in attempting to check
them, pulled upon the reins in such manner as
to cause them to turn sharply around, throwing
him out of the carriage. The fall broke his right
arm near the shoulder, producing bad compound
fracture, and also fractured his Jaw.
