ENGLAND AND SPAN--OuTRAGE IN EUROPE AND
OurRAoE IN AMERrcA.--We were told during the
late war that the sympathies Of England were
withheld from us because the destruction Of
slavery was not our main purpose--thc de-
struction OF that institution being the only
thing in our history that England could posi-
bly, sympathize with, as the one among oil the
nations who stood alone as tho champion Of
moral right. Lord Russell even put this idea
in letter 10 Mr.. Adams SO, as England could
not sympathize with us because we we're not
particularly against slavery, she showed her
sincerity in the cause of moral right by giving
her sympathies TO those who fought in support
Of a,averv. There were apparently some aim

pie persons in the -Englishmen prlnci-
pally-who were imposed upon by this, who
believed that England was governed by con-
science and not by the prospect Of trade with
the Southern States. To those persons we
commend the consideration Of England's CON-
duct In two somewhat notorious events Of
present history.
One is the war Of Austria and Prussia against
Denmark, tho other the war Of Spain against
Chile. One national outrage In Europe just
under Englaad's nose, the other q national out
rage In another hemisphere ten thousand miles
sail from any port Of Great Britain. In the
case Of Denmark. England was called upon to
interfere by her various relations with the two
Powers, and by her love Of "moral right" and
in the case Of Chile she has no other interest
but that of trade In copper. But that little
business in copper settles the question for the
great missionary. No British trade was par
ticuIariy injured in the European outrage, and
Denmark could go TO the dogs. British trade Is
injured In Chile. and the indignation Of Eng
land rises against the injustice Of Spain. VIII

WEED, RAYMOND AND THE New YORK REPUB-
IIcANs.--The course pursued in the organiza-
ton Of Congress by Henry J. Raymond, Of the
political firm OF Seward, Weed and Raymond,
is in striking contrast with his course in our
late November election. His resolutions,
which were made the platform of the New
York republican party at Syracuse, outHeroded
Herod in their gloriication of President John
son and his policy. Upon this platform the
republicans carried the State by nearly thirty
thousand majority, result which brings into
the boldcst relief the popularity of President
Johnson's plan OF Southern reconstruction.
Next we find this slippery little man, Raymond.
in The republican Congressional caucus at
Washington, cheek by jowl with that most
malignant radical, Thaddeus Stevens, in the
treacherous concoction Of deliberate insult
to the President in the reputation of his
Southern policy in the most offensive form-an
insult which was carried out in the House in
advance Of his Message.
The next proceeding Of Weed and Raymond,
II il has not been, doubtless will be, TO wait
upon the President with their congratulations
regarding his excellent message, and to fatter
him, il possible, into the appointment of their
special favorite for the New York Custom
House. The President however, will be
serving these treacherous and double-dcsling
friends exactly as they deserve, in giving
them the cold shoulder until they shall have
proved their fine promises 10 be genuine by good
deeds. The New York Custom House ia in
charge Of an excellent officer, and there is no
occasion for any hurry in superceding him for
the benefit Of Weed and Raymond and their
treacherous clique. Moreover, the President,
in his own defence, should hold all his impor-
tant appointments subject TO the proceedings
Of the radical managers Of Congress II they
choose to support him In good faith, oil right !;
but II not, the President, by holding his ap-
pointments In reserve, will know where TO be-
stow them. II is clearly not his policy 10 sup
ply his enemies with ammunition. ...

Extempore Preaching.

There are good people who at this late
day, dislike exceedingly to listen to a
preacher who makes use of written
sermons. A minister whom we fell in
company with day or two since, gave
us little of his early experience on this
point and related the following incident ::
He said that, just before leaving the
theological school, he was sent to a certain
Baptist Church in the country, to sup
ply for a single Sabbath, and was direc-
ted, when he arrived, to call on one of
the members-an old farmer---at whose
house it was expected he would put up.
When he arrived, the old farmer re-
ceived him cordially, and Immediately
commenced conversation as follows:
Farmer (eyeing him closely): You
have come to praech for US have you?
Student: Yes, sir, l have come with
that expectation.
Farmer: Do you make use of written
sermons
Student: do.
Farmer You do7 Then we don't
want you. I'll speak to the people my
self, first We want man that can open
his mouth and have the gospel flow out
like water gushing out at the tail of a
saw-mill, and that will melt down the
hearts of the people like honey on hot
rock.

The Deputy Commissioner of the In

decision;
Losses by fire may be deducted from

is derived. If building which is rented
is destroyed or injured by fire, the a.
mount spent in rebuilding may be deduc-

but when the building is occupied by
the owner, only so much can be deducted
as does not exceed the average expended
in repairs on such building the proceed
