Rev. j. d. Searles, pastor of the M
E. church In this city, starts this week
to visit his aged parents in the southern
part of this state. Since Mr.. s. became
q resident here, ne has labored with un.
firing energy and perseverance to ad-
vance the maternal as we'll as spiritual
interests of the church over which he
presides. The rousing religious revival
which took place in this city last winter,
and the beautiful new church edifice
which was dedicated last Sabbath. testify
stronger than words can, to his earn est
endeavor. The vacation granted will af-
ford Elm a rest richly deserved and
much needed.
During Rev. Searles absence his pull

The Dedication.

Last Sunday, 4th inst, the fine new
M. E. church edi6ce in this city was for
mally dedicated to sacred uses. The
morning services were conducted by Rev.
Fl, s. Richardson, of Hudson, and the
evening and dedicatory services by the
Presiding Elder. ]. E. Irish. ~
This church edifice is one the
Methodists and all our citizens may well
feel proud Of, for il is undoubtedly
the finest and best appointed in the st.
Croix Valley.
A debt of something over 50. 900
was resting on the church, and collec-
ton was taken after the morning service,
which resulted in the congregation "com-
ing down" handsomely to the tune of ST.
93l-Messrs. G. II. Miller and E. N.
Redmon giving $3.50 apiece, the largest
single amounts contributed. In the eve-
ming $3.50 were readily collected, which
we believe, removes all indebtedness up.

THE WAR NEWS.
France is Iiumbled.

France is humbled.
Her armies have surrendered, aud the
Emperor is a prisoner Of war.
Franco has been proclaimed R"pub-
lie, and Provisional Government formed
with Gen Trochu at its head.
As we last week iniimated he woul ID
the Crown Prince OF Prussia with bis
army after leaving Cha'ons, pushed
noTthward and finally engaged the for
ces of McMahpn in an action near Sc
dan which resulted in tho humiliation oil
the lattrrs army and tic capture of Louis
Napoleon. Marshal Bazine upon hearing
of this disaster also surrendered his ar.
my garrisoning Metz.
King William has designated the cap
ital of Hessel Cassel, situated 90 miles
northeast Of Frankfort-on-t he-Main, as
Napcleon's future residence" The En-
press is said to have fed France and
joined her husband.
Thus has one of the proudost nations
on the globe been humbled in the dus;
merely because it suited the within Of
that venal old rip, Louis Napoleon, to 60
70 war.

Beats Everything.

The famous Norway Oats has formi-
dable rival in this county, in a new oat
called the Prince Edward or Prussian
oat, which is rapidly gaining noteriety.
Mr.. G. P. Jacobs recently threshed from
4 acres, (6 bushels seeding,) 800 bushels,
machine measure, Of this species which
averaged 40 pounds to the bushel. Est
mating the amount at 80 pounds to the
bushel, and it gives 90 bushels to the
acre which scoops everything in the Nor
way line in this section, SO far as we have
heard. The two species are almost pre-
ciscly alike with the exception Of color,
the Norway being black and the Prince
Edward white. In other respects we
don't suppose there is any difference worth
mentioning.

Dale have purchased controlling inter.
est in this paper. The pretxt for such q
report is doubtless based upon the fact
that the Herald and Leader are clubed
together OF So por annuln. In this club
bing arrangement we avail ourselves of
the same privilege exercised by our con-
temporaries without any special regard
for our personal relations with Mr.. Tay-
ELLSWORTH Herald.
1t may be true that Taylor and Dale
do not own controlling interest in the
Herald, but Kimbal's conduct at the late
Assembly District Convention, is proof
enough that Taylor and Dale have nc
quired controlling interest in him.
Whether this interest was bought, Dor
towed, or stolen wo do not know, nor do
we care. The fact was apparent and
that IS sufficient.
Kimball says that in clubbing with
thu Leader he is availng himself of the
same privilege exercised by other local
papers. Now we are positive there is
not another country newspaper in the
Sixth Congressional District that clubs
with the Leader for So a year. If there
is we don't know it. and the fact has not
been advertised. Will the editor of the
Herald give us single instance? This
clubbing bargain shows on its face the
combination of the Herald with the
John Dale clique. Now that Kimball is
fairly in bed with that crew he had bet
ter lie quietly and not keep up such a
thunderous bowling and kicking at being
caught in such bad company. If he
don't keep still they'll use the bowstring

The WIN amendment.

President Grant says the adoption
of the Fifteenth Amendment ais the
most important event that has occur
red since the nation came into exis.
tence." We quite agree with him,
but fear that il will not be for the ma.
tion's good. Not because negroes are
thus PRIVILEGED TO vote. Nobody would
object to this If the right were con.
forred in accordance with the theory
Of our republican institutions. In
that case, no matter how distasteiul
il might be, the decision would be ac.
quesced in and the obligation Of the
new law obeyed in good faith. All
good patriots look upon the Consti.
tuition as tho sheet-anchor Of our po.
itical safety. 1t is thus sacredly re-
garded only because IL is held to be
tho embodiment Of the popular will
As long as it is so regarded it viii be
strong, and command the love and
veneration Of the people, who will be
ever ready to sacrifice their lives, If
needs be, in its defense.
But here comes a mighty change.
Its whole character is altered, and
this alteration is effected, not by a
majority Of the people, or Of the people
Of the requisite number OF States, but
no,oriously in opposition to the will
Of the people in more than half of
those States In no single State were
tho people consulted in the manner
heretofore practiced by the American
people when a change, alteration or
amendment of their fundamental law
was submitted TO them. This amend.
mont was adopted by tho legislatures
alone. In several of those States
these legislatures ,rerc chosen by the.
uoics o, the very negroes ichose rigit 10
cote Uas 10 be therein secured. III
negroes had no right 20 vote previous
TO the adoption OF this amendment.
then is itspretendcd ratification illegal
"a fraud and cheat Ii they had
tho right to vote on the question of
its ratification where is the necessity
of the amendment
II is thus tho Constitution--lhe
CharterAmerican Liborty--is brought
into contempt. Instead Of being The
venerated instrument which the whole
people have always held It TO be,
large portion Of them will hereafter
look upon it as mutilatcd and per.
verted document. Id is for this ren. |
son that we fear the President utters

ratification Of this amendment TO be |
the most important event since the

IN Honrsl Confession.

Radical rule is fast disgracing and
running the country Its morals are
at a low ebb, whilo avarics has in
creased lour.fold within the past ten
years and all this too, while the ma
tional, and large majority Of the State
Governments have been under the
exclusive control of Il party, "controll'
ed by grand moral IDEAS" Churches,
Schools, the finance, Congress, Legls'
latures, Governors, and Presidents
have all been run in loyal gutter
Yet. what is the result: Moral degre.
dation and political debauchcry reigns
supreme from Main to Texas. Who
must stand God Father for this state
of things? To still farther prove
that what we say, is true; We intro
ducc a confession made by that godly
Patriot, Col. q John w. Forneyi
whom tho XVIII amendment has
placed on level, and, he now associ-
atcs chiefly with JEFF. Davis niggersi
hear what he says in his Press Of the
9th ult:
"The last municipal work done in
Harrisburg for this city is the passage
or possible passage, Of bill intended
TO settle the Public Buildings ques'
tion. 1t is significant Of the manner
-, --liel. lss,sl.-t'es. a. sanducind ot
tho State capital, that the reporters
seem unable TO ascertain just in what
condition the bill is. There are floating
amendments to it, it is said, but what
these amendments are nobody exactly
knows. This state Of affairs affords
fne opportunity forlegislative forgery
which has been openly charged in the
case of other bills.
1t is hardly worth while under these
circumstances to say much about this
bill, for the act as published may not
be the one the Governor may sign
and the act the Governor may sigr
may not after all be the one engross
ed on the final records of the Legis
lature. To such a condition have W,
come.
However, it is useless TO speculate
or comment on law before you know
what it is, and we await therefore The
official text. This precaution is abso
lutely necessary, for counterfeit billi
are as plentiful now at Harrisburg al
at the counterfeiter's den"
"To such a condition have we come.
1t is lamentable isn't it COLONEL. But
who has been bossing things in around
that 'counterfeitors der" for ten yeari
pastY Who has taught loyalty and
Legislative forgery p We're such les
sons on legislation taught by your old
Democratic teachers Or was politi
cal harlotry, legislative purjerics anc
and Cadet selling ushercd in by thos'
whorendercd themselves hoarse shout
ing loyalty? Are not the men, Of
party, who now run the machine,
as 'the late lamcnted" termed it
chargable with all the evils that curs'
the land.
