Novel Settlement Of a Church-R Rate Difficulty
gentleman possessed of an estate near Brosely,
IN Shropshire, England, has hit upon an original
plan for settling the church-rate question
among his tenants, several of whom are dis
senters and opposed to the tax. He has written
a circular letter in which he makes them ac-
Ouainted with his desire that they should pay
the church rate without demur. He, however,
acknowledges the possibility OF some OF them
having religious scruples, which would prevent
them from paving church rates except under
cOmpulsion, and he adds that any thus cirCum-
stanced are at liberty to follow the dictates of
their conscience, and in such cases he (the
landlOrd) will pay the rate tor them, increasing
their rent by the precise amount thus disbursed.
He claims for this scheme that 1t will be salts
factory TO all parties, inasmuCh a. dissenters
will not be called upon to act contrary to their
pTinciples, and at the same time the revenue of
the Church will be duly maintained.

The Passion for Reactions.

THRRB Is a certain class in. every community
who profess great admiration for reactions.
They are always on the fence, and always
anxious to get down on the side which is GER
tain Of victory. After the battle Of Bull Kun,
these eccentric people had great deal to say
about the tyranny and uncOnstitutionalty OF
coercion. Antietam troubled them sorely,
because they did not know on which side to
throw their caps. Gettysburg set them to
shouting like mad for the Union. When
Grant started on the bloody path through the
Wilderness, they were again plunged into
doubt and dismay, but only to go wild over
Richmond and Appomattox Court House.
The war once over, they became thoroughly
JOhnsonized, and attended the Wigwam Con-
vention in great force; but when the nation
put down its foot on A. j., they put down
their feet likewise, and reproaohed that hero
with great bitterness. These reactionists are
stout admirers of the New York Herald. Ben
nett is their prophet, their organ, their mouth
piece. They are accustomed to feel his pulse
with much anxiety; and when it beats high,
they endeavor to lash themselves into tUry.
Now to this numerous class of voters
we have a few words TO say by way of
advice. They should know that they stand in
great danger of proving themselves false to
their cherished theory of reactions. California
reacted most amazingly, but it was in conse-
quence of the corruption which had orept into
the counsels of the Republican party of that
State, whereby thousands of voters had no
choice save between the Democratic candidates
and professed Unionists who were reeking
with the spoils of the lobby. Between the two
horns Of this dilemma they chose to remain
away from the polls, the Democrats, in conse-
quenoe, carrying the election by default, to
the ultimate benefit and profit of the Repub-
icsn party of the State. Maine attempted to
react, but failed most signally. local
issue on the liquor question transferred less
than $500 votes from the Republican to
the Democratic ticket, leaving our majority
still overwhelmingly large. By the election
in California the rolls of the Fortieth Congress
were made complete, showing net loss to the
Republicans Of two members only, the precise
number which were sacrificed by the oorrup-
tion which cost us California; while through
Rebel votes we lost two members in Kentucky
ana one III maryland, tnls detection being
dOubly compensated for in other and more
loyal States. Putting all this together, the
reaction about which we have heard SO much
dwindles down into positive nothingness. And
such, according to all the signs of the times,
will be the result in this State tomorrow.
Even the New York Herald, the great organ
OF the reactionists, has practically confessed
fhafaV TUil ha he WI
say to the reactionists that, if they desire to
be on the side of victory, they must vote the
straight Republican ticket tomorrow.
