DEATH or REV. JOHN PIER

The vencsablc poet and divine, Rev. Jous
PRRpoxr, died at West Medford, Mass,
Monday morning, at half past FIVE o'clock,
aged eighty-one years, four months and
twenty-one days. Since the late President
LNcoLS's Administration began Mr.. PIER
POINT has held position in the Treasury De-
partment, and his eightieth birthday was
celehrsted in this city with much eciat April
9TH, 1866, poetic tributes being read from
Hoixrs, Bazaar, WHITTIER, ELIzUR WRreHr,
CHIs. T. Brooks, Mrs SssoURSEY and others
on the occasion Mr.. PIEHpoSr's name has
been i6ehtifed with the literature Of the
country since the first publication OF bis
American First Glass Book" in 1923. Last
week he attended the convention OF spirit
ualists at Providence, II. l., and in an ad-
dress to the convention he announced his be-
lief that the spirits Of the departed hover
about the tombs of their friends, and said he
had found this world so beautiful that he had
no Other desire than that his spirit should re-
main in il AID communicate with the souls Of
his friends, living and dead, who inhabit this
mundane sphere.
Mr.. PIERPoNr also read "Song in praise
Of Water" which evinced great strength Of
intellect in one so old. He said that the old
Greek poet AsAoREoS lived to the age Of
eighty years, and more, and made songs in
praise Of wine. The speaker, too, was over
eighty years OF age, and he would make a
song in praise Of water. ~
He was born in Ltchfeld, Connecticut;
graduated at Yale College in 1904; went to
South Carolina Us private tutor in the family
of WILLIAM ALIsroN; returned and studied
law, and was admitted to the bar in Essex
county, Massachusetts,, in 1872. He after
wards became merchant in Boston and in
Baltimore, and was subsequently ordained
pastor Of the Hollis-Street church, Boston,
where the late THOMAS STARR KING after
wards preached for several years. Mr.. PIER
roxr SaA contest with his parish upon the
temperance question, lasting seven years.
In lS45 he was called to ofieiate in II Unta-
riaa church at Troy, New York. where he
remained four years, and from thence be
wenG 70 the First Congregational church ut
Medio.d, the place Of his death.

ARGUMENTS WHICH PROVE
NOTHING.

We print elsewhere q report made by Gen
Gordon Granger upon "the disposition Of the
southern people toward the Government Of
the United States" and with it we print an
account OF the "disposition" OF o part OF the
people OF Texas towards the Government Of
The United States, by a loyal Texan well
known to US. Irra. .lL "a - n.-.
The two accounts differ greatly. Neither
Of them, however, has any bearing upon the
question whether the southern States should
be admitted to Congress. The question is
not whether certain persons like or dislike
the Government, but whether they obey it,
whether they peaceably submit to its rule
and accept its laws as the supreme law Of the
land. That is all. There d, We believe, no
armed rebellion, no insurrection, no organ
lzed and forcible resistance to the laws OF
power OF the General Government anywhere
in the South. We have no right to inquire
into intentions, or disposition and it is o
very Improbable. business, on either side, to
do SO. tT,r.-.r .. t..rr.IfAg''a uI irlr u.
Nor is, Gen. Buffers argument of more
force. He would keep the States out TO spite
traitors. Now, we believe in hanging Davis
and other leading rebels; and we hope Davis,
who is the only one now in custody, will be
brought to, trial by Chief Justice Chase as
soon as possible, and punished as the law
directs. Let the laws be executed; let ins.
tice be done. But that has nothing to do
with the other question Of representation in
Congress. We think it advisable and neces.
sary to return to constitutional forms and
restrictions in every department, not because
we desire to please men lately in rebellion,
but because We wish for the peace, quiet, and
prosperity Of the country; because we think
it highly dangerous to continue the country
any longer in the revolutionary condition in
which Congress has persisted in leaving 1t
because we think y absolutely necessary for
the security Of our national liberties, for the
security of all rights, for the proper restric-
ton of all authorities, and for the attainment
of wholesome legislation, to return to consti-
tutional government, il is for our own
sakcs, for the benefit Of the loyal people, that
we. advocate this policy. .L.,gt.L arl .a .
General Butler talks Of taking up arms
again; but II would be much better II be
;g"uld 90 through the South. IN company
with other men g like opinions with himself,
and address the people In favor Of equal
rights and impartial suffrage. We shall un'
doubleday support any movement OF That
kind by General Butler. and shall insist upon
tho maintenance OF bis right Of free speech.
We hope the Southern rloyalists will when
they meet at Philadelphia, next week, invite
General Butler and other prominent Repub-
licans to stump" the Southern States in their
behnlf; we hear that they viii request the
.n.esrnublican party to hold grand mass con,
vention in some SScca .ihn city. That is the
best thing they can now do.-N, !. 1E". !''@'

Before leaving home had not received
from any quarter the slightest intimation
that my presence would be desirable at Phil

no notice Of the Faneuil Hall meeting and
its doings reached me until it was over.
make you this explanation for the reason
that do not want to be deemed either dis
courteous or Indifferent to the great move
ment which, believe, is destined TO restore
our Government to safe and sound policy.
The proceedings Of the Philadelphia Con.
vcntion are now before the world, and do
not hesitate to agree with the President in
his high estimate Of their Importance. ] do
not see how they could be made better, mol
do doubt that the purpose TO which they
were directed will be accomplished.
shall take some early occasion to express
myself publicly, but intend this note only as
a personal explanation to yourself as q per
sonal friend.
Yours truly, GEO. AsnMus.

their metals and Mint certificates of their
value, to be used rs medium Of exchange.
At that date there were neither greenbacks,
postal currency, nor any; other medium Of
exchange In that Territory, except the crude
gold dust, which passed by weight Blythe

ereenbacks and postal currency got into
circulation there, and supplied in measure
the local wants in that respect. But there
was still very great need Of the Mint And
