To judge by the description Of his apparel

The Bell Ringers.

The Peak and Berger Families attracted
another crowd at Metzerott Hall last night,
and more delighted audience we never
saw. The silvery sounds of the bells and
the sweet music, vocal and instrumental, Of
the bellies Of the troupe are worth ten times
the price Of ticket The entertainment Is
exceedingly varied. We regret that the
Bell Ringers are to remain in Washington
but a few evenings longer. On Saturday
afternoon a grand matinee will be given,
when the young folks will be admitted for
half price.

A BRAND UPON ASHLEY AND
LOAN.

The Cincinnati Commercial, radical paper,
disposes Of ASHLEY, Of Ohio, and LOAN, Of
Missouri, briefly, as follows:
"When Mr.. Ashley, two weeks ago, with
pompous formality, 'on his responsibility as
a Representative charged the President with
'corruptly disposing Of public property
and committing acts, and conspiring with
others to commit acts which are high crimes
and misdemeanors,' the public had right to
expect that the proof of these charges would
be promptly furnished. But, although the
committee instructed to investigate the mat
ter has held several sittings, no evidence has
yet been produced, and the committee, our
dispatches inform us, are still waiting for
Mr.. Ashley The fact Is, that gentleman is
more ponderous than forcible, and, probably,
when he preferred the charges, had no more
accurate idea Of what his words meant than
he appears to have now Of his duty and re-
sponsibility asa Representative, after making
them.
Equally ill-considered and vicious In style
and matter was the formal speech read by
Mr.. Loan, of Missouri, few days since, in
which words were used to the effect that Mr..
johnson agreed, in advance with the assas-
sins OF President Lincoln, to pay price
to wit: the patronage Of the Government
for that act, and has paid it. Clearly, such
charge should not have been made with
out sufficient evidence to sustain it, and not
an hour should have been lost in producing
the evidence, and pushing the charge home
to the President. II there is ground for be-
lieving him an accomplice in that horrible
crime he should be tried without delay. But
Congress has probably long since taken the
measure Of Mr.. Loan, and accepted his
speech on the occasion referred to, OF its
true value, as a sensation Of the poorest tex
ture."

grateful to the party which will settle things

fear the growing tendency to odisorganizaton

Major Church Howe, Collector of Internal

months, over $4,000 from parties in this

short in their returns to the amount of over
$3.50, 900, and several other cases are under

The above is a very high compliment to
the new Collector, coming, as it does, from
an intensely radical paper, and in face of the

ject Major HowE by parties who either want
his place for themselves or for their friends

to tAs General Assembly Of "a. State of Indiana.
Having been elected TO the Office Of United
States Senator, desire to express my deep
sense Of obligation for this high mark Of
your confidence and esteem. This election
Is more precious to me as endorsement ofmy
dT.nistration, extending through nearly six
years, than for the intrinsic value Of the
Office which II confers. To the large body
Of friends who sustained me through the diff
culties by which was surrounded during
the dark and perilous hours of the rebellion,
/ am bound by sentiments Of affection and
gratitude which will end only with my life.
To the officers and soldiers Of Indiana,
whose devoted patriotism and heroic valor
have showered much lustre upon the State
and nation, return my heartfelt thanks for
their many manifestations OF confidence and
regard. My connection with them in the
organization and support OF the army will
ever be the proudest period Of my life, and
may the people hold them in grateful and
afiectionate remembrance.
Our beloved State has entered upon new
career Of growth, prosperity, and honor. To
your charge are her interests committed.
You will see to II, i am confident, that they
are carefully and wisely fostered, and that no
reproach shall ever be brought upon her
high character.
Gov. Baker is able, patriotic, and faithful.
And now, with q consciousness Of having
tried to do my duty and with earnest prayers
for the prosperity and happiness Of the people
Of Indiana, I hereby resign into his hands,
under the constitution, the Office Of Gov
ernor.

a Short Sermon.

Receiving the grace of God in vain."-2
Cor. vi: l.
Creation may be termed the power of
God, Providence his wisdom, heaven his
holiness, and hell his justice; even so
most aptly and beautifully, the Gospel is
his grace. The fountains of grace were
sealed up in the counsels of eternity un-
til man fell and redemption dawned up
on the guilty world.
1t is much for us to have received this
precious grace of God. The angels who
fell received it not; to them it was never
offered. Large portions of mankind have
not received it; they live in heathen
darkness. The olden Jews received only
dim and distant glimpses of it. But to
us God has given to enjoy its full revela-
ton. We have received it-not in stint
ed measure, doled out by priestly craft,
mixed up with human traditions-but In
IT'S pureness and fulness, as delivered by
Chf1Sr, prvaUtvd- by APOSTLES, witnessed
by martyrs, and demonstrated with power
by the Holy Ghost. How high and sol
emn our trust and responsibility? The
question is-how have we received it?
First, are we of those who receive the
Gospel of grace in name and not in real
ity; who profess and do not possess
who say they have faith and love, and
vet have them not who have the out
ward baptism of water, but not the in
ward baptism of the Spirit, and are uni
ted to the visible body of Christ, but
have no spiritual and vital unionto Christ
himself? Is such our case-having a
name to live and are dead? Then we
have received the grace of God in vain.
Or second, do We receive it with the
head, and not with the heart also in
mere knowledge and rational conviction,
without the feeling and the power! Ii
so, it is in vain. For what can it avail
to know that Christ died to save us, il
we do not love and trust and take him as
our Saviour? May we not know all tha
the damned know, and yet become as
hopeless as they? True, the grace O
God must first be known; it must ente
in at the door of the mind in order tt
