Newburg.


NEwBUkG, n. Y, June o, 1869.
This has been beautiful, comfortably cool sum-
mer day, and the churches have not lacked for
worshippers. In most Of the Protestant houses Of
worship the sacrament the Lords supper has been
administered, and the mornings discourses were de-
voted mainly to setting forth the great sacricia Of
ferng made by Christ OF himself as atonement for
the sins OF the whole world. In Calvary Presby terrain
church Rev. $. II. Jaeger improved the solemn
occasion by preaching from the text 'And ], if
be lifted up, VIII draw all men unto me.n HIS theme
was the attractive power of the crucihed Christ.
The chief attraction of the he held to be first,
s<e personal glory ana power Of the Redeemer and
OF the Trinity IN unity The second attraction was
found IN the contemplation of the great work
which Christ had accomplished on the cross
namely, the work OF salvation. third point made
was that Christ was ordained 10 draw all unto HIM:
and lastly tnat at the day of Judgment the entire
universe OF created intelligences would be drawn
unto Htm-some willingly and joyiuIiy, others re-
luctantly and in dread OF the endless punishment
which was to follow.
st. Georges Episcopal church this afternoon
were beld the funeral ceremonies OF Mrs Maria HO
man, VINO was the Oldest resident OF this place,
having lived here over three-quarters OF q century.
The services were conducted by Rev. DR.. John
Brown, under whose preaching Mrs. Hoffman had
sat fer the past hlty-three years. The venerable
m MISTER Of Christ was affected even to tears as he
rehearsed the virtues and Christian graces of pa
I.shoner whom ne mad known ana esteemed so long.
The services were very numer0Usy attended bv the
citizens OF Newburg aud vicinity. A very large
number in vehicles and on foot followed the remains
TO tGe place Of interment in st. Georges Cemetery.
In the evening the usual services in the Western
avenue Methodist church were set aside to give the
members 2n opportunity to discuss the great ques-
ton OF lay representation, which il at the present
lime matter Of commanding interest In the Metbo-
dist denomination. Addresses were made by Messrs
EastbTook, Phillips, Rev. Mr. Burkins and Others
The predominant feeling and drift of the addresses
seemed TO be opposed 10 making any change in the
poty OF the denomination. This Church at least Is
willing to let well enough alone, being satisfied with
the good old-fashioned ways of Methodism.

CITY AFFAIRS.

Editors APpedi: In justice to The
present administration of the city of
Memphis, l wish to make a statement
to the public that can be relied upon.
If there is anything wrong in the adj
ministration Of the affairs Of the city,
it should be corrected; and it matters
not what may have been the motive
Of the party who instigated the inves-
tigatiOn. But if there is no wrong or
injury to the city, the mOtire of the
party who makes the charges should
be exposed to public scOrn.
The present administration began
in January, 1868, and will end in jan
uary, 1870. The Gefaulters that are
paraded before the public, are officers
that have had nc connection with the
present administration. Their terms
ended prior to 1868, and are embraced
in many years anterior to that date.
An investigation of the accounts of
these officers was made during the
year 1868, and a list handed me upOn
which suits have been instituted and
are now pending in Il courts.
The complaint that is made against
the present Comptroller is, that he
has permitted certain parties to over
draw their accounts. The impression
created and intended to be created at
the time was, that these Overchecks
existed when the complaint was made,
If the public understood the way the
accounts of the city are kept, they
would not be misled, for it would be
seen that at the end of each month
the credits are given to the officers,
and if there is any Overpayment, it Is
then settled. / will take my own ac-
count rs an illustration. On the LIST
of June, my account vas balanced.
On the 10th, / drew a check for $40.
1t would appear to the public that at
this time1 was over-draWn $40, and
yet the city at that very date was in
debted to me S13S 80, leaving a bal
due me of 500 SO. | have taken
this as an example. The cases of Mr..
Richards and the Mayor are in the
same condition; and so it will be
found with most or all the parties re-
ported. On yesterday, when this mat
ter was brought up, all these accounts
were balanced, and in many instances
in my ease) the city was indebted
the parties several hundred dollars.
/ have made this statement in justi-
fcation of honorable gentlemen who
have been i~nsidiously assailed. And
among others, the Mayor, who is abb
sent from the city,
Official corruption shoald be eK-
posed and branded; but if honest men
are found in public places, the public
should testify its appreciation, and
give them its endorsement.
! think it speaks well for the pres
ent Comptroller ofthe city, Mr.. Baugh,
hat after asearch, whether made with
rood or bad motives, his books should
how, during his administration over
.hecks of officers of less than $500.
This embraces a period of eighteen
months, and involves a settlement of
many thousand dollars.
1t must also be remembered that fire.
luently the city his been behind In
Is payment to these officers several
