For the Palladium
Religious Statistics Of Richmond

EDIToRs PALLADIUM:-The object of
my communication. has been partially
answered by the reply Of my friend
Coffin in your paper Of the 9th, in which
he takes occasion to aver that ''the re
porter for the Cincinnati Gazette, has
not, in several respects, correctly re
presented his remarks at the Indian
apolis Christian Convention. This is
what thought and said, but in spite of
this admission. before he gets half
through with his explanation of what he
did say on that occasion, he reiterates
all that the Gazette 3 correspondent
charges him with uttering, and gives his
belief in them as substantial facts This,
for him, to use no harsher word, is dis
mgenuonsly fixed up--a denial and an
affirmation coming entirely too close
together to be reconciled 1t may be a
lapsustingao, or slip of the pen,
am credibiy informed that my friend
Coffin obtained his visiting statistical
figures from a woman by the name of
Pray, "who hal been converted after
years of sin" Now, may not this
woman have furnished him an exagger-
ated statement of the mum Der of tamil
les she visited and their religious con-
dition ? :. It strikes me, that it would
take an active walker and talker, to
visit two thousand families and make the
proper inquiries, not less than two
months to do this service. and surely in
all that time, my family and that of my
neighbors, could not have escaped see
ing and listening to this seeker after
the religious statistics Of Richmond;
hence my conclusion, that friend Collins
basis of s'facts," as he styles them,
might be wrong, and that the woman
might not yet be ''soundly converted"
for she surely did not, whilst .sspinning
street yarn" or gath ering carpet rags,
arrive at my tabernacle at least. No
doubt, like some new converts I have
noticed during my time, she has had
abundance of zeal, but it has lacked
being tempered with knowledge
There is no man in Richmond for
whom [ have higher regard, as a
practical christian and good citizen,
than c. F. c.; but whilst thus awarding
him his due, still think him human,
and liable to be led to an erroneous con-
clusion by relying too much on repre-
sensations made by others,
Whilst regretting the attempt, I'M
Willingly, must believe, to reverse the
text: where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound" in its application
to the present situation Of Richmond,
heartily join with him in the desire to
'labor earnestly for Improvement" by
assisting him to remove so much evil,
remedy the statistics, and thus obtain
the blessing from above. .o-r

DEATHS.

DIED. Saturday, Nov. 9th, of Dyspepsia,
JOHN x. ILIrF, in the seth year of his age.
Galaxy and in peace passed away our friend and
brother, J. K. ILIFF. During his long illness he
suffered greatly but when the cold waters Of Jordan
dashed his weary feet the dear Saviors breast he
leaned his head and breathed his life out sweetiy
there. For more than 80 years he was a member of
church, and class-eader. In his death the church
has sustained irreparable loss He was faithful to
all her interests, and especially he friend and
advocate of Sabbath Schools. Indeed in every rela-
ton of lfe he loved and respected for his un-
swervng integrity and devotion to the cause of Re-
ligion. The church, of which he an honered
member, has lost of its strongest advocates and
defenders. He devoted and faithful in all things
pertaining to an exemplary life and character. Of
him it can be truly said, he aectionate hus-
band and devoted ia Their, kind neighbov and con-
sstentchristian The Church meurns the loss of one
brother beloved, and the community good citizen
but in the home, alas will he be missed the most.
There the dear familiar face will be seen more the
at tie table vacant and at the home hearth the
voice of love is hushed forever.-But, dear bereaved
ones, another voice is attuned to heavenly melody.
Weep not for the blessed dead. His su6erings are
over-he has entered joys immortal, in that "sun
bright clime-by the great white throne, BY the rv
of eternal gadness he is singing the gushing full
of eternal glory and blessedness.
There's earnest voice in the household band
Whose counses will be heard on earth
There's footstep waited but never heard,
And chair ever empty beside the hearth.
There's angel voice in the heavenly choir,
Chanting the songs of mercy and love,
And weary feet are resting at length
In mansions of light in the realms above. -

That Terrible Accident,

We briefly noticed last week, that oc-
Cured short distance above Lockland,
on the Cincinnati Hamilton q Dayton
r. R., Thursday morning last, about
O'Clock, is thus portrayed by the Cincin-
natl Commercial, from which we take the
following extracts
1.-The darkness of early morning was,
at that time and place, made impenetra-
BILE by dense fog that had held its place
the night through. It happened that an
extra freight train of thirty-six cars,
drawn by the engine Beckett was
obliged to halt on, and north and south
of, the bridge across the Lockland sta
ton, owing to the breaking Of the en-
gine's pilot. The engineer Immediately
sent back a man to flag the express train
that he knew was following him--a COM
bined Eastern and Northern express,
made up of passenger coaches of the
Atlantic 81 Great Western Railroad,
through from New York, and of the
Dayton & Michigan road, from Detroit,
connected at Dayton This train left
Hamilton at twenty seven minutes after
five and took about twenty minutes to
reach this bridge. The fagman's lights
t for this train was discovered in good
time and it was promptly halted.
Here, then, behind the freight train of
thirty-s cars. and within a couple of
rods of the caboose, stood the engine
SJeedman, of q train of ten cars, two
express, two baggage, two Atlantic d.
Great Western sleeping coaches, two at.
lantic d Great Western passenger coach
es, one Dayton & Michigan sleeping
coach and one Dayton d. Michigan pas
senger coach. The Dayton 81 Michigan
sleeping car was the last of this second
train, and next to it was the Dayton IL
Michigan passenger couch. ALI the cars,
save the last, were we'll filed. In the
last car sat (for those who had occupied
berths had risen and made their toilette }
four ladies and two gentlemen. One Of
these gentlemen was Mr.. Allison, the
car builder. The other was unknown
Three of the ladies appeared to be init
mate, and sat together. The fourth Ia
dy appeared to have made their acquaint,
ance, as she occasionally spoke to them.
She, however, sat by herself, in seat
on the other side from them. This car
was the death trap, and all these ladies
were soon roasted to death.
AS soon as this train halted. it's con-
ductor, William H. Sitter, gave orders
to his tiagman, Theodore Cress, to start
back with a light-"go as fast as he
t could and as far as he COULD and stop

= The Louisville Courier (Rebel) thus
comforts itself with the hope that the
National Debt will be repudiated: 2a7
- "In Government where universal
suffrage is tolerated, no debt which i'm
poses such burdens upon the masses as
ours does, can be secure. 1t is so much
more easy to vote down the debt than to
sustain such grinding taxation, that the
minds of those who toll and suffer will
naturally be frequently directed to the
subject - doijszaJ LtGuo5 .s6~. sol-..
1t seems to US much shorter and
simpler than this to say" The mass of
mankind are scoundrels, and will never
pay large debt if they can evade it
and they can repudiate the National
Debt-therefore, they aoN. ras 1asf.
The Courier proceeds: -1 7
81. And especially is this true, when, as
IN our ease, the debt which created the
necessity for this taxation was incurred
in q war which never did receive their
hearty sanction
The Last War with Great Britain and
the Mexican War were profoundly con-
demned by a very large portion Of our
people Did that portion therefore at
tempt or threaten Reputation The
Courier was bitterly Rebel, and Of course
condemns the War for the Union.
When the People shall elect Congress
and an Executive of kindred sympathies,
the Debt will be repudiated. at 81
