BAPTIsT.SThe anniversaries of the
great Baptist Societies commenced in
Boston on Thursday. The return of the
Church shows l,1I6, los members; s,37s
ministers and I4,434 churches. There
are 25 Baptist Colleges IL monthly Pc
riodicals IL weekly newspapers and IL
Theological Seminaries. The Baptist
Home Mission Society has $50 missiona-
ries. The total receipts for the year end
ing April LIST, including the balance in the
treasury, amount TO Sl37,s10 l6. Add
to this amount 1906 q received by the
New England District Secretary, which
did not come into the treasury, and $1,000
worth of clothing, books and medicines
forwarded by him and from the rooms,
and S2S,593 SO received since the books
of the year were closed, over and above
what was received in the same time last
year, and our fcotings for the year will
amount TO $4,000. AS they appear
they are $751; At in advance of the TO-
tai receipts of the previous year.
The Church Ediice Fund amounts to
$27,3s9- Aid has been given to nineteen
churches during the year from this fund.
The Freedmen's Fund receipts for the year
we're S21, 1856.
Baptist newspapers are resuscitated in
all the South, and as a general rule, they
are better printed and more ably edited
than before the war. Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Mississippi have now three papers of
their own. The late effort at reunion be-
tween this denomination and the Disci-
pies (Campbellites, has proved to be a
failure, and the Bsptists will go on with
their agencies as an evangelical and infu-
entail church.
EPIsCoPAL-The Northwestern Aduo-
cate has lately given, in quadrennial pc
Rod las far as possible) from the year of
the organization of the Episcopal Church,
the returns of membership in the whole
world. The table is very striking:

The Madison correspondent Of the Mil
waukee Sentinel in mentioning the re-
turn of Governor Fairchild from Wash
ingtou, says: alike the majority Of Union
men who have lately visited the national
capital, he returns stronger in the faith
hat the position of Congress is the safest
and best for the future prosperity of the
country, and that at the polls this fall it
will be heartily endorsed by the men who
loved their country well enough to fight
for it, and by the many, who, from the
recent history of their country, believe
hat eternal vigilance is the price OF lib
erty.' In his own emphatic words-'after
being MANNED by rebels, be does not

A convention to nominate a candidate
for Congress n the Third Illinois District
(Wsshburne's) Of this state, will be held
at Freeport on the 18th of June next. In
anticipation of this convention the Sterl-
ing Gazette, Lanark Banner, Freeport
NOrthDsst, Carroll county Mirror, War
rem Independent, and ogle county Re
porter, have declared in favor of Wash
burne. In fact, we believe the sentiment
of the district press is unanimous for Mr.,
Washburne, and there is not q shadow of
doubt of his denomination by aeclama-
ton.

termination TO make only thoroughly excellent

public became sequsinted with their value, until,
for months together, we have been unable to sup
ply the demand. We have repeats dly enlarged our

CONFERENCE.-The Congregations
GLiSt Boston, sums up recent additions to
some of the New England churches to the
number of 1854. Many churches have
been greatly increased, from which no
returns have yet been received.
OF the one hundred and lightweight
churches in New Hampshire, only forty
six retain the same ministers they had a
year ago. The changes have never been
SO numerous. OF the ministers occupying
pulpits as pastors thirty years ago, only
eight remain who have not been removed
by death or dismission.
METHoDIsT.-The African Episcopal
Conference, Washington, has missions in
six Southern States, and thirty-one travel
ing ministers have been sent South since
the close of the war. The Conference
proposes to employ at least fifty mission
aries the present year.
The Convention held in Cincinnati of
non-Episcopsl Methodists adjourned sine
die on last Wednesday evening, after a
veryinterestin session. A basis of Union
was adopted unanimously, which seems to
please not only the interested parties, but
all Christians of every denomination.
The name of the united body is 1.-THE
Methodist Church" There is an timer
ancy recognized and a system of settled
pastorates also, leaving both ministers
and churches free to adopt either plan, OF
change from one to the other at will. The
whole platform is now TO be referred back
to the people for adoption. Such churches
and conferences as agree TO the new ar
rangement, name, sc, will vote them
selves into the Methodist Church BY sane
tioning the proceedingsof the Convention.
The question will be brought before the
people in their respective congregations
Immediately.
MIscELLANEoUs.-There are in the
United States thirty-seven thousand
churches, being one for every SIX hundred
and ~forty-three of the entire population.
The total value of church property is
ST., 100000. There are tw~enty-seven
thousand elergymen, and accommoda-
in the church edifces for fourteen
millions of hearers. If our people be
not as pious as they ought to be it is
evidently not for the lack of church &C
co~mnodations.

College, Belfast, Ireland, and the author

RECONSTRUCTION.
The Constitutional amendment D
ed BY the Reconstruction COMMITTEES and
passed by the House came up in the Sen
ate Wednesday. Considerable surprise
was occasioned among the friends of the
measure by the desire Of Senator Sumner
for further delay. He was quite earnest
for its p~ostponemeRt till next week, and
even longer, declaring that the Senate
needed time to perfect a plan for restora-
ton This view was regarded as indica-
tive of his hostility to the pending amend
ment. The question, however, was pro-
ceeded with. Senator Howard, of Michi-
gan, opened the debate and spoke for two
hours. When he concluded notice was
given eff some four amendments which
would be offered. The effect of this has
been to weaken the Committees plan
very materially, and its passage by the
Senate as it came from the House is re-
garded as almost impossible
H TAX OS INCOMES.
The principal discussion in the House,
Wednesday, was upon the question of
taxing incomes, and it resulted in the de-
feat of the Ways and Means Committee
by IS majority. Their proposition for a
uniform tax Of five per cent. on all in
comes over $1,000 was stricken out, and
one inserted for FIVE per cent. on all over
$1,000 and not over $1,000, and ten per
cent. on all above S., 200. Inaother words,
the only change from the present law is
that the exemption is Iived at $1,000 in
stead of $500.
Mr.. Cook, of Illinois, secured the
adoption of an amendment BY which the
duplicate tax on sales Of grain or produce
is stricken cut and sales made by brokers
wiB not be taxed. ort
