The London Evening Star Of the
2Gth of November SAYS: Mr.. ,Jefier-
son Davis made a speech at leaning
ton on "Wednesday ON rising tosecond
o vote OF thanks to a gentleman who
had lectured on f'Buried yerusalemn
before the members Of tho Local Phil
osophical Society. Mr. Davis made
various illusions to the Holy Land
rs the cradle, humanity speaking, OF
civilization as well as the Christian
religion: Referring 10 the elmolition
Of the Temple he observed that, al
though all must regret the ruin Of q
structure 50 much connected with the
early history ofreligiop, yet we might
be consoled by the belief that 1t was
necessary that the temple should fall
in order that the Star Of Bethlehem
might be seen of all men,. He exr
pressed his qualification at hearing
from the lecturer 1.-THE Rev. DIR. Trist-
mani that the Palestine explorations
had been inaugurated under the, pa
tronage of English women and exc
cuted by Englishlnen. 1t was be-
coming q woman for she was the
last at the cross and the, first at the
sepulchre-to commence, the cxplora-
tons in confirmation of the great
truths Of Christianity. And It was
well for Englishmen to undertake
the work Of Exploration, for their
blood was mingled with that of the
Norsemen, with the Saxons, the
teachers of the harmonious eonglom-
GRAFTON Of liberty andlaw, commune
ity, and Independence, indivuality
and self-will; and with the trouba-
dopr, the knightly soldier, rrepresen-
ted in The Norman. These three ele-
ments combined in Englishmen, led
to adventure, to- love Of truth, and
gave the heart to do whatever the
will might desire. The devine truths
upon which our happiness here and
hereafter was .engrafted had been
more and more established as science
had trodden in the path of revelation.
Such explorations as those which DR..
Tristan had narrated had revealed
things not before fully ,comprehended,
and shown that as they progressed
truth would be more established, "for

A oovernncnt OF Rings.

The Government Of the United
States is 10 longer d Government
1t Is simply q system of Jobs managed
by a series OF rings. Formerly, tile
most dangerous Of these was the
whisky ring. It's vigori and potency
was illustrated when the tax on
whisky was reduced hone-half and
whisky advanced ten cents. That
which tax-gatherers remitted to the
manufacturers was used in control.
ling the elections. p4I io NHH la
The most dagerous ring, outside Of
that of Jay Cooke and the national
banks, is the railroad ring. A MEM
Der of this organization has recently
hnasted that he was draIring annually
five per cent on five millions, and had
never paid in one dollar. The gov-
eminent fell among thieves. They
were enriched by public lands, enough
to make kingdoms for several thou
sand German monarchs. Not con-
tent with this, our beneficent Gov
eminent created, as it seems, for the
sole use of rings, gave them bonds
enough to iron and equip the road
A light mortgage, fastened upon the
imperial domain, given the ring
by the Federal Government, fur
hishos all the money needed and
fills the purses of the princcly stock
holders. This ring il on its first legs.
1t will grow until it overshadows
the continent. Not content with a
road which makes milliOnarics OF its
builders in the very process OF con-
struction, this ring will buy up the
travel and traffic between New York
and San Francisco. Since their road
Is too far north to serve them through
the whole year, this very ring will
make the new Congress build for 10
another road from the Pacific, through
Texas, connecting California with
the Gulf States. Then the Union
will be wholly at the mercy Of the
imperial railway ring. There will be
no future contests between political
parties. The recent Presidential cleo
ton was determined by Belmont, the
bondholders, and the railroad rings
of New York. In fact, this Is no long
or government of the people. For
years past no one has imagined that
perjury was crime, or that the Con-
stitution had validity. The tariff,
national bank, railroad, telegraph
and whisky rings constitute the thing
once dcnominated the Union, which
is termed, in derlsion of Federal law,
the ''nation.n The "nation,D there
fore, Is a mighty system of "rings,n
and they arc greviously at fault who
