in connection with this expenditure, have
been the conversion of exactly two jews |!
showing the cost of converting them to have
been precisely fourteen thousand nine hun
dred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-two
and Q halt cents per Jewi At which rate,
the cost of converting the three hundred
thousand Jews ct present in America will
be, in round numbers, $4,000, 100000.
There must also be taken into the account
the matter of time. The ratio of CONVEX
sion by the New York society seems 10 have
been two Jews year. If the process of
converting jews can be continued with the
same encouraging rapidity, it will take only
100, 200 years to christianize the whole num-
Der of Jewish inhabitants now in this coun-
try. 1t is very possible, however, that natu-
raj causes, which the "Society for tine Ame-
Iteration of the Condition OF the Jews" do
not seem TO have provided against, may,
when that time shall arrive, be found TO have
considerably augmented the number of Jews
to be converted in this country.
1t is said, however, that the Christian
gentlemen who have undertaken this pious
enterprise STEEL greatly encouraged, --inso-
much as they propose to press on in the
work of ameliorating the condition of the
Jews. The only objection 10 their doing so,
will arise from the possibility, so deeply will
they be absorbed in ameiorating the condi-
ticl OF the Jews, that they may neglect TO
ameliorate the condition of Christians. There
is a way of obviating that objection which,
possibly, the Christian gentlemen who pro-
pose to ameliorate the condition of the Jews
may not have cousidered.s Il depends upon
the Jews to bring it into effect. tits for the
Jews--seeiag that the work Of amehorating
their condition absorbs the labor of Chris
tians to the neglect of their own condition
to organize a counter Society for the
Amelioration ofthe Condition of Christians"
AS Christianity is now extensively managed
in this country By political priests who regn,
larly lecture Deity upon His duty in the
politics of the nation, there is little doubt
that the success of a Jewish society to con-
vert Christians TO Judaism would meet with
success quite as encouraging as that which
has attended the efforts of a Christian soci-
ETY. to convert Jews TO Christianity. Cha.

A Crusade Against Judea

An assemblage of clerical gentlemen. rem.
resenting various styles of christianity took
place in this city, the other day, with the
purpose in view of "wiping out" Judaism,
by converting ell adherents of that ancient
religious faith to the more modern doctrines
OF what these gentleman call "orthodox
christianity"
The deliberations of that assemblage were
rather remarkable, and led, unexpectedly,
TO the disclosure of some curious aud sug.
gest,Ve facts. it appears that there exists,
IN the city Of New York, religious prose
lyting organization called the "Society for
the Amelioration of the Condition of the
Jews. IL was represented that the labors
OF that society, In converting the children
OF ael from Judaism to Christianity, had
been successful to satisfactory degree. 1t
had succeeded, since its inauguration. in
hopefully converting" as many as mine
Jews, out of three hundred thousand of that
religious faith in America
AT this point, gentleman with the nm.
mistakably Jewish patronymic of Mr.. Jo-
seph put In somewhat too practical inquiry
as 70 what it had cost per head to convert
.sraehtes from Judaism to Christianity. The
inquiry produced sensation such as one
might expect to witness upon the sudden
entrance OF rampant bull in q china-shop.
Halt dozen clerical gentlemen were on
their feet at once. The matter of cost was
not the question. No matter VIII Mt amount
of money had been expended. Was not
one human soul of more value than SEQ.
COO, 900? wa
This was no answer to the interrogatorv.
out 1t was the nearest to one that could he
got from the christian side of the house. n
:. carried the idea that to save the souls of all
tne Jews in this country might cost an 40.
gregate of $60,O0O,O0O. There are said 70
De three hundred thousand of that faith in
America, which would make the cost of
converting them to christianity just 5000
per head very moderate sum, consider
ing the estimated money value of each indi.
But, from the official financial statement
Of the society in question, il appears that
' y receipts during the last year have been
sso 900, and its expenditures s2e. sse. SIS.

A NOVEL,. POINT OF LAVA tobacco
dealer in New York who had been sum-
moned to produce his books for examination
in proceeding before United States COM
missioner, involving o criminal charge
against him of making alleged false returns
OF his business transactions to the assessor,
has, by advice of counsel, refused to pro-
duce his books on the ground that they con-
tanned evidence tending to criminate him,
and he was therefore not obliged to pro-
duce them. On the argument before the
court the defendants counsel contended
that no one could be obliged to produce evil
dencc against himself, either oral or written
that according TO the first principles of law
a witness was protected from testifying
against himself orally, there being no al
tentative Of force, torture, or compulsion
of any kind, to make him disclose such tes-
timony, and therefore the right was neces-
sarily still stronger and clearer in relation
TO written testimony, as the Government
had the right and power to seize books and
papers for reasonable cause, and it would
be manifestly opposed to the spirit of our
laws to enforce principle that would by
it's application force muli,rer to produce
the weapon or instrumei,! by the use of
which he committed his crime, or forger
to produce the written evidence of his
guilt. Tne court took the papers, reserving
its decision.
