Proposition to suspend Contraction.
We are glad to notice disposition
on the part OF one or two prominent
specie. payment papers to relax their
views upon that point. 1t mat
ters not whether they have discovered
the impracticability of such views at a
time like the present, or whether for
the sake OF compromise between con-
nicllng demands, they are willing to
concede something to the volume OF
opinion against them. The N. Y. Times
while maintaining its own correctness
in favor OF u continuance Of Mr.. Mo
Cnlloch's policy of monthly contrac-
Lion, comes out in its issue of Friday
last and confesses that public opinion
seems to demand a stoppage OF the pol
icy forthe present. We!quote from its
remarks us follows:
We believe that II compromise
may be effected now with no
further surrender OF principle than
is implied i'll the stopp8ge of
contraction. II there be a desire to
contend Tor words, let II be said that
contraction Is for a season suspended.
Let what has been done remain undis-
tnrbed. And on the hypothesis that
more Hreenbacks cannot be- called in
without damage to mercantile interests,
and that the discretionary power vest
ed in the Secretary is a menace from
which these interests should be freed.
let II be declared that reliance will
hereafter be placed upon the growing
wants of the country To absorb any ex-
listing surplus in this volume of cur
rency. By assuming this ground ayow-
edly as compromise, the intlationists
muy he deprived OF the only auxiliaries
that can render them formidable, the
opposition TO the Treasury will be re-
duced to one of degree, and not OF
principle, and the country will rejoice
in settlement which, while apparent
ly postponing specie payments, will
remove the uncertainty which, for
some time past, has Pnralyzed all de-
parlments OF business. The Opportu.
nifty is one which Mr.. McCullooh should
not neglect. BY graceful surrender
of points which he can scarcely hope to
retain, he may conciliate moderate
and powerful interest which the expe-
rience of the last year has alienated
from him, and may counteract the ef-
forts in which the advocates of imitation
are engaged. The attainment OF these
ends ia surely worth a trial.

An Old Poem tnAt illustrates Popu-

lar theology Hundred Years Ago.
From Re Er0vtdence (Ef. ~ journal
No poetry was more popular in New
England n century ago than the Day OF
Doom, 1t was first published in 1852,
and the first edition, consisting of 1900
copies was sold within year, popu-
larity which, when we take into Ac-
count the extent of the reading public
at that age, is not surpassed by the most
famed productions of Scott or Dickens
In our own time. The poem at once took
its place by the side of the catechtsm (;
at the beginning of the present century
many an aged person was alive who
could repeat almost the whole from
memory. % 80
description of the Day of Judgment.
The various conditions of men who
will make their appearance on that
dread occasion, are represented As
coming before the Final Arbiter, and
urging their several pleas. After the
saints have been Justified, the several
sorts of reprobates are described.-
Among these are bypoorites, "civil hon
est men" and heathen. But altogeth-
er the most remarkable and interesting
OF this class are the reprObate infants,
who, In their turn, come forward and
urge the iniustice OF being made to
suffer eternal tormsnts for sin whlch
they had never commit ttted and loT
which Adam alone, they claim, should
be held responsible. Say the infants
"Not we hut he ate OF the tree,
whose fruit was lnteIdLctedi
Yet on US all OF mis- sad Fail
the punishmenIs inflicted.
How could we sin, that had not peenI
or how is his sin. our, -"
Without consent, which to prevent
we never had the power.
To this shocking theological heresy
the Final Judge, or We should rather
say, tue author of the poem, replies
His words deserve to be quoted as a
most curious illustratIon OF the popu-
lar theology OF the time. We assure
our readers that the whole was not In
troduced as a grim burlesQue, but ex-
pressed the serious convictions OF that
age. This is the answer to the plea OF
the infants respecting their relation TO
Adam: "a 81 q, ~ n
"He was desIgneIof all Mankind "
AcomnIon root, whence all should shoot,
and stand in ali their stead.
He stood aud lell, did Ill or well,
not for himself alone,
Rut for YOU ali, who now his Fall
and tIespAsS would dlsoWn.
"WouId yon have griev'd 10 have received

Would you nave said, We ne 'er obeyd
nor did thy laws egQhd.

us, Lord, to 30 reWRrd?'
"sIncs then to share in his welfare.
Won would have been coutent,
You may, with reason share In his treason,
and IN the punIshment."
But while the relation of infants TO
Adam is crime, still distinction Is
drawn:
"a crime It Is, therefore In bliss

Mrs, Lincoln g old Clothes.

We gave last week pretty full hiStor.
of the efforts of Mrs Lincoln to dispose
of a part of the plumber received by her
for her influence in behalf OF otiice-seek
ers, contractors, etc. Her plea OF pow
erty is etfectually silenced by the Spring
field CHI Journal. which publishes The
inventory of the estate Of the late Presl.
dent Lincoln. as signed by Judge Davis,
the administration. a sure method o.
placing before the public the facts rel.
alive to the amount of property left by
deceased. The amount invested in Unit,
ed States bonds and securities on Novem.
Der 20, 1866, was S79,4S2 10 Note:
for various amounts, with the $4,000
given by congress on account of Mr.
Lincoln's salary, make altogether the to-
tai value of the personal estate about
one AmdJed md ten MoHutud dolhus, &c
say nothing OF real estate in Illinois and
Iowa
Enough perhaps has already been said
about this unfortunate woman. but it *
charitable at least to say that a lady &c
quaintance in Chicago writes that She has
long been considered insane. A resident
of Washington writes Us note under
date OF Oct: 6, a paragraph Of which We
copy:
This incredible and incxcusable &C
ton OF hers but advcrti-es her own shame,
instead Of eIicitlng sympathy from any
but copperlead journalists, who try to usc
it as an illustration of 1.-THE ingratitude
Of the republican party" In what the
ingratitudc consists, is more | think
than either Mrs Lincoln Or the copper
head press, can make clear.
She was known here during her resi-
dencc in Washington as a wcak-mindcl.
vain, and cXtravagant woman ambi-
tious to shine only as leader of fashion.
Her silly and ridiculous airs and prcten-
ces were Il constant subject Of ridiculc
her indi~crctions Ito say nothing more
required the constant efforts of the friend:
of her noble husband, 10 prevent publ,
scandal, while her Extravaganza, mad,
heavy demands upon their purses anu
their patieucr."

HO,c Ne Lost.

The democratic papers all claim that
there is a reaction in the republican
party and that the elections are strong
indications of the dissolution of that par
". 1t is no doubt true that few tim
orous members have voted the other
ticket, because they thought that was the
way TO save the country. Many Ger
mans voted for Sharswood, because they
tancied the republican party favored a
prohibitory law and strict Observance
of the Sabbath The leaders of the cop
perhead party dragged into the issue all
the wild, chmerical schemes of few
members, and represented them to be the
plans Of the republican party. Summers
equal suffrage measure and Tnad. Stew
ems confscation scheme were hauled up
and represented as the measures which
congress will attempt to pass at their
next session; when in truth it is doubtful
if either of them. if introduced, command
dozen votes.
1t was by teaching such false doctrines
The democratic party swept Connecticut
last spring, and Ohio this fall; and un-
less great efforts be made 10 stay the
falschood. New York will be carried in like
manner. The assertion that the advocates
OF bad cause will labor more earnestly

simply is a party; they cannot change

reconstruction. The renegade dema-
go-ue OF the White House will be en-
courAged iii the mad course he is pursu-
iEg. Every vote cast for the friends OF
the lost cause" he regards as 4 voice
compimentine hi conduct in the work
OF reconstruction.
