We have always con,ended that Brick
Pomeroy's paper, though containing much
sound doctrine, also contained so much that
was, to say the least of it, very impolitic
that as newspaper, it was, on the whole,
an injury to the democratic party. If any.
thing were needed to prove this point, read
the Following from the Rim Union, the organ
OF the radical party of this county:

= In Indiana, two seats are contested,
those of Julian, Rep, and Voorhees,, Dem.
New Jersey, the seat of Cleveland, Dem.,
is contested by Mr.. Halsey in New York
that of Greene, DEM, by Van Wyck in
Ohio, that of Strader, Dem, by Eggleston,
and of Dickinson, Dem. in Pennsylvania,
that of Moffatt, Dem., by Leonard Myers,
and of Reading, DEM, by Taylor; and in
Tennessee, where we have conceded the
election of Lcftwich, Dem., in the Memphis
district, his seat will be contested by Smith.
In every case thus mentioned, we believe
evidence of fraud is conclusive on the part
of the Democrats, and that the Republicans
will get the seats. This will add nine mem
bcrs to our strength in the loyal States and
make the delegations stand:
Republicans l4o; Democrats 49,
Which ii will be seen is a loss of five Re
publicans. We lose 3 in Missouri, in Ma
ryland, | in New York, and in Ohio, and
gain in California.
Ii the Southern States, the returns are yet
too indefinite TO give any clear idea of the
result. In Louisiana, where the election
was no election, but lawless scene of reb-
el violence, of course Congress will throw
out the whole batch Of pretentlous represcn-
tatives The other States are estimated

RELIGIOUS TOPICS.

The following resolution was recently
adopted by the Presbytery of Pttsburg:
Reso'Uea, That this Presbytery approve
the basis of reunion overturned by the Gen
eral Assembly; and also, in case the basis
overturned be not approved by a sufficient
number of the Presbyteries, that we are
prepared for union Of the churches on the
basis of our common standards.
1t is estimated that the value of church
property in the United States during the last
ten years has increased about $4,000, 900,
and during the same period there has been
an increase Of church accommodations Of
more than fifty millions
The receipts of the Boards of the Pres
byterian Church during the month Of Sep

The Smyrna Times in alludiug to the cores

B. r. r. Company and the Treasurer of the State
ofDelaware says:- sA
1t will be noticed that there is q bit Of caustic
in these letters that gives them just enough spice
to make them pleasant reading; more entertain
ing than official correspondence usually Is. The
Treasurer intimates that the State will insist upon
the payment of the tax and contest the matters in
the courts, but, whether it will or not remains to
