Episcopy and the Masses.

A correspondent of the Protestant
ChWchmQa (EpiscopaD says:
The failure of our Church TO
reach the "masscs," is painfully true.
It is true not only in New Jersey
1t is true everywhere, especially in
the Great West. There we are doing
comparatively nothing to redeem
the masses oftho people from infdel>
ity and sim
TO this the Editor of the Chnrchnldn
replies:
"The writer of the article above
quoted ascribes the Church's failure
to its Iiturgical service; but the diff
Guilty lies not here Ii we thought it
did, we would abandon the liturgy to-
morrow. The difflcuity i, not in The
service itself, but in its use--ih fore
ing it every where, and under all cir
cumatances in all its fuilness upon
people wholly unaceustomed to lit>
urgical forms. The masses do not
like the service a. thus used, and
they will not have it. They will go
where there il more variety and
freedom Never as church shall
we succeed with the people till they
are permitted to adapt our services
to the various circumstances in which
they are found. A flexible service
would be attractive A long innexi>
bic service, unchanged and unchang-
able, will be sure to repel.
But the great hindrance to the
Church's growth is the exclusive po>
sition assumed at the present day by
so many of its ministers and mems
bers. This exclusiveness is distaste
fal to the American people, and ut
terly antagonistic 10 the spirit Of the
age in which we live. 1t is enough
of itself to kill any church 10 which
it is fortcred. Give to the ministers
of our communion liturglca frees
dom-that freedom which is nght~
fully theirs under fair interpation
Of canonical law, and give also to
them the disposition to recognize,
under all proper circumstance, the
Christian standing and character Of
the other great Christian organiza-
tons of the day, and there is no limit
to their usefulness and power. But
deny them this freedom, shut them
out from the privilege for giving re-
cognition and fellowship TO the other
Protestant Churches OF Christ, especi
ally when the corrupt churches OF the
East are recognized--do this, and
the growth ofour Church is just and
inevitably stayed.
TO the poor the Gospel is preached
It is a sign OF heavenly origin. 1t Il
a test OF heavenly character and pow
or. If the Protestant Episcopal
Church cannot exhibit this sign, /
she cannot bear this test what be
comes Of her pretensions and he
claims.

Our Indictment of Seymour Guilt
Confessed
Horatio Seymour staLds indict,

Horatio Seymour staLds indicted
for.
1. melting to Riot.
2. Yielding to rioters their de-
mands on the Government, at the
peril of the Nation.
3. Threatening the President of
the United States with the disorder
ly violence OF the people if he
proceeded in the efforts vitality nee
essary to the salvation of the Union.
Horatio Seymour is confessedly,
therefore, q fomenter of sedition, a
champion of rioters, q menacer of
Government.
Afomenter of sedition, in that he
told the turbulent masses OF New
York City that a mob had an equal
right with the Government to pro-
claim the law public necessity.
A champion of rioters in that he
espoused their cause, said that they
should be satisfied, and demanded OF
the Government that the draft
should be suspended and stopped,
1T their violent behest.
A menacer of Government, in that
he warned it of the " temper of the
people lift did not yield 10 him and
his riotous friends.
And all this in criminal disregard
of the imminent peril in which his
country and it's defenders were pla>
Ced at the time.
Here are the counts ard the evil
dence IN this grave indictment. We
have asked the Argus to defend Ho>
ratio Scy mour, and it utterly refused
to do so. The plea of guilty is en-
tered. What friend OF order will
say that such man should be made

France--War or Peace.

The Temps of August 81, has an ar.
ticle with tho above heading. The
war, it says, if war is to be, will not
be war Of policy not of conquest,
but of prestige. 1t will be q war for
the recovery of the military reputa-
ton which has been compromised by
Inc victory of Sadowa. Absolute
Government has made Franco On
essentially military power. The con-
sequence is that France must remain
injisputably the most formidable
enemy of otber countries. This sup
ericrity is by no means clear a. pres
ent, and the uncertain ~ must be re-
moved. This is tho first cause of
war. The second is the necessity
ofrepairing the reverses of the i'm
perial policy. The war. which many
persons regard as imminent, will
have this popularity, that there is
no imaginable pretext for il. And
no one can say what we are TO gain
by it.
The Moateur DELI Armeo of Sept.
l publishes an article refuting the
assertion of one of Paris correspon-
dents of the Nrd, who stated that
orders had been civ en- that special
garments to be used by the troops in
time of war should be made. The
Moniteur also contradiets other as
sertions of the same correspondent,
and says: "There were never moro
soldiers absent from their regiments
on leave than at present, anu the on.
ly military exercises now taking
place are those at the camp at Chal~
ons and Launemazan."

BEHIND IN KENTucKY.-The Ad-
ventists held meeting recently in
GAINESVILLE, and came to the conclu-
sion that the end of all things earth,
ly will be about the first of October.
One day the preacher was annoyed
by a rather noisy discussion on the
outskirts of tho crowd as TO who
would be the next President. APP
proaching the disputants, Republi>
can and a Democrat, he said, "My
dear friends, you are exciting your
selves unnecessarily, and wasting
precious time in specializing as to
future Presidents of the United States,
for before an earthly election takes
place our blessed Lord will be PRESS
dent everywhere" "1'll bet you
fifty dollars 10 ten," promptly repli-
cd the Republican, that ho won't
carry Kentucky !"

settle Copperhead party has
formally anil officially committed
itself TO the principle ofequal taxation
of all property, for the support of the
government The only question
now is the proper rate to be levied.
Leading democrats in Congress have
proposed oc0 per cent as the rate of
taxation for bonds. If this figure be
adopted the farmer will be taxed two
dollars per hundred on the cash va>
nation of land That is, land worth
$50 per acre will pay a dollar per acre

into power. Some people may like
this mode Of racing revenue, but We

will demur. They had better do so

Grants Farewell Address TO His Army

The General order of General
Grant, addressed TO the soldiers Of
the United States when the war was
over, will now be read with interest.
Here it is:
Soldiers Of the armies Of tie United
.States-By your patriotic devotion to
your country in the hour OF danger
aud alarm, your magnificent fighting,
bravery and endurance, you have
maintained the supremacy of the
Union and the Constitution, over
thrown all opposition to the enforce
ment of the laws and the procIama-
lion forever abolishing slavery-the
cause and pretext of the rebellion
and opened the way to the rightful
authorities to restore order and in>
aUgHrate peace on permanent and
enduring basis on every foot of
American soil. Your marches, seig>
es and battles, in distance, duration,
resolution ana brilliancy of results,
dim the luster of the worlds past
military achievements, and will be
the partiot's precedent in defense of
liberty and right in all time to come.
Ia obedience to your countrT's call,
yon left your homes and families, and
volunteered in her defense. Victory
has crowned your valor, and secured
the plrposo of your patriotic hearts;
and with the gratitude OF your coun
trymen. and the highest honors
great and free nation can accord,
you viii soon be permitted to return
to your homes and families, conscious
Of having discharged the highest du-
ty OF American citizens. To achieve
these glorious triumphs, and secure
to yourselves, fellow countrymen.
and posteri'y, the blessings Of free
institutions, tens of thousands OF
your gallant comrades have fallen,
and scaled the priceless legacy with
thoir blood. The graves of these a
grateful nation bedews with tears,
honors their memories, and will ever
cherish and support their stricken
tumi!ies.

Alsudabls ambition exists among threshsrs TO own

slain that their work is not properly DONE m to lose
valuable time by reason Of breakages, and they can.

The Sweepstakes rs the accredited head
Of the Threshing Machine family, and its superior
strength, durability, simplicity, ease of draft, style
Of finish, and capacity for threshing and cleaning
grain faster and better than any other in the world,
are acknowledged
The great reputation achieved by this
faTorite machine has led several inscriptions manu-
Sacturers, and numerous agents, to attach the mama
SWEEPSTAKES, in one way and another, to their
machines and advertisements to mislead and deceive.
This is the essence Of meanness-down-
right piracy, and sailing under false colors. To
avoid the counterfeit. see that every machine has
the card, &C. AULTHAN & CO., MANUFACTURERS,

sides of the Separator.
The Genuine Sweepstakes enables the
thresher to pick his customers, seldom stops for re-
pairs, lasts much longer than others, saves much
grumbling and ve~xation, does the same amount Of
work with less labor, and enables him to select the
best and most profitable jobs.
The farmers give it a preference, and
often an extra price per bushel, because it threshes
clean from the heads, separates perfectly from the
straw, cIeaHs n . marhet WITHOUT waste, saves all
the grain, does its work with the utmost speed, safe
ty and economy, and does not keep a gang of men
and teams about them on expense.
The elegant Patent Pivot Side Gear'S
is to be found only on the SwEEPsTAKEs.
Our Patent Cleaning Apparatus - en-.
ables the operator to control the direction of the
blast, and position of the selves, and clean either
neayy or light grain, without waste, as fast as IL
can be thrsshed,-the chaf and dirt being separated
rom the grain before Il strikes the seize at all.
Separators, Horse Powers, Straw Stack
9rs, Gears or Jacks, sold separately, when
desired. A written warranty delivered with every
machine. The SWEEPSTAKES is usually q very
scarce article after harvest, and parties should order
early.

With numerous certificates, and the Rames and resi-.
