THE GENERAL JUDGMENT.

A Sermon Preached by Rev. DIR.

Ninth-street Methodist EpiscO-

kingdom: 10 ,lJN.l Z
SO. Preach the word be instant

prove, rebuke, exhort with all long
suffering and doctrine" y
DR.. Durbin said:
Amid the busy pursuits of life,
in which, all are absorbed in this
land at this time, we are liable to
forget the weightier matters of re-
lfgion, and future life. Indeed,
the doctrine of a general judg-
ment, IN which men shall give an
account of all their deeds in this
world, has almost lost its place in
the world. 1t is even rare now for
a minister to speak of it.

the city occasionally for the last

who has fallen under the weight of

life, and in the midst of its active
duties, or some young man in the
bloom of health, with brilliant
prospect for the future, has gone
to the grave, and to that Judgment
to which you and l must finally go.

Nearest the Fire.

During the sitting of q court in
Connecticut, not long ago, on a
very cold evening, a crowd of law
yers had collected around the open
fire that blazed cheerfully on the
hearth in the bar-room, when a
traveller entered benumbed with
cold but no one moved to give
him room to warm his shins, SO he
leaned against the wall in the back
part of the room. ,s
Presently smart young limb of
the law addressed him, and the fol-
lowing conversation took place: !

Important Sale Of E.snsati.

= On Thursday afternoon Gen.
Jones sold to the Illinois Central
Railroad five and three quarters
acres Of land situatea juatt above
the elevator in Dunlcith. fronting
on the river and running back on
the bluff. The price paid was $5,
900 cash and life pass for himself
and family. A year ago the land
was offered for 1915, but d;d not
find a purchaser. The railroad com
pany need the land for the cxtcn-
sion of their track and other mat
ters connected with the bridge and
must have it.
Connected with this pass is a lit
tic story of interest. When Gen.
Jones was a member Of the senate
and took such an active part III pro-
curing the extension of the Central
railroad to Dunleith and in procur-
! ing other benefits for it. Mr.. OsbQrnc
! the president, gave him life pass
for himself and family as some ac
| acknowledgement foi his services. LII
1868, just after his release from
Fort Lafayette. and when the Cen
trail was doing an immense carrying
trade for the government, this pass
was taken up by one Of the conduc-
tors and was never returned not
! withstanding its express stipulation.
1t is a long lane. however. that has
no turn, and now when the Central
was obliged to purchase this land it
had cot only to pay a good price.
! but restore the Iass as well, and
this is expressly stipulated in the
decd as one Of the considerations. =

Cotton.

The Tribune defends the cotton tax
oi two cents upon a pound upon the
ground that it is monopoly ~ 1t
has ceased to be q monqpoly. Cot
tonis no longer King, Viceroy, or
even Baron, and the cotton supply
is no longer from the United States,
but from India, from whence, ere
long as things look, the United States
may even import it,. The Tribune
admits that the freedmen will not
cultivate so much cotton as the
slaves, which is an admission We did
not expect in this quarter. But why
notT They have the motive of se-
curing one third or nc-half the crop
without cxpcndlng one dollar for
the expenses of cultivation. We see
nothing but their iucapacity, indis-
position. or waning numbers, to pres
vent them from raising as much as
was raised in 1860, and before; and
the Tribune will not admit that they
are deficient under either of these
heads. IN. Y. Express. iao7sa. a

What do the Radicals propose to

tinuc to cling to the policy of Ste
vcns, Wade, Sumner, Boutwell,, and
the more advanced" of their party,
they are sure tc sink under burden
Of infamy as tie sun is sure to rise
and set. If they abandon their lead
ers, and attempt to crawfish out of
the difficulties in which their super
latiye follies have involved them, by
pretending to have become conserv-
tive, they virtually abandon every
thing that has hitherto held them
together and lose all thatoremains
of their former vitality. With them,
"to be, or not to Ee," is the only
question. Which horn of the di.
lcmma they will lay hold Of, no NOR,
tai can at present predict. 1t is
amusing to witness the attempt OF
the friends of Salmon 2. Chase to
make it out that he has all along
been distinguished for his conserva-
tism, when it is known all over the
world that more intense and un.
scrupulous Radical does not exist
on earth. And it is an amusing
concession on the part Of the ultra
lists, to take Grant as their candi-
date for the Presidency, when the
wisest among them have no knowl-
edge Of his political principles. This
only proves that their game of fraud
and deception is so far played out,
that they are'ready and willing to
assume some new disguise, and take
some new name. What their next
dodge will be, time alone can reveal.
