A dispatch says Rev. Chas. b. Smyth, pms
tor Of the Eleventh-street Presbyterian
Church, Of New York was tried last Tuesday
by the First United Presbyterian Presbytery
for bringing scandal on the Church by invit-
ing reporters to a lunch and drinking gin and
milk i'll IL common restaurant on the Sabbath
day. Smyth admitted the charges and plead
ed nervous exhaustion as an excuse for the
gin and milk. Turn him out! The crime of
joining few jolly reporters i'll Il social glass
on the Sabbath day is perhaps not an uupur-
donable offense, but to drink gin and milk on
any day in the week is an abomination.

Let Us Have Peace"

Those were the words of the present incum-
bent at the White House at the national capt.
tai. Have the people ever considered the
, vast meaning contained in those words
When our revolutionary sires rebelled against
the domination of England over the American
colonies, and organized and put IN operation
IN independent government for themselves.
they set forth in the Declaration OF Indcpen-
dence the causes that impelled them TO sever
their connection with the Mother Country,
among which were the repeated injuries and
usurpations of the King of Great Britain,
the direct object Of which was the establish
lishment of an absolute tyranny over the
American colonies. He refused his assent
TO laws the most wholesome and necessary for
the public good, and forbade his governors to
pass laws of immediate and pressing impor-
tance. unless suspended in their operation
till his assent should be obtained. He refused
TO pass laws for the accommodation of large
districts Of people, unless those people would
rc!inquish the right of represe ntat;on in lcgis-
tive councils. Representative houses were
repeatedly dissolved for opposing his invasion
on the rights of the people. New offices were
created. and swarns OF officers sent hiiher to
harrass the people and eat out their substance.
The military was sought to be rendered supe-
nor to and independent Of the civil power
The people were subjected 10 a jurisdiction
foreign To our constitution and unacknowl-
edged by our laws.
One would think from reviewing those
grievances, that our people were still sub
jec,ed TO the tyranny of earlier times. There
is not n single act mentioned that is not to-day
inflicted upon our citizens, and Grant says,
Let Us have peace" Review the grievances
Of our ancestors and compare them with the
acts of Congress to-day. and then note the
threats of military interference 10y the Radical
papers in case Of discomfort among the people
at Congressional cnactments, and the meun-
ing of those little words will be forcibly i'm
pressed upon the reader. Radical partiSans
say the present usurpatious of power are acts
of necessity to punish the people of the South
for their rebellion. What right has the Presi-
dent or Congress 10 usurp powers delegated
to them in the Constitution and compel the
Southern States to pass resolutions amending
their constitutions? Will promises extorted
by force. and without right accomplish the
fruition of Radical dreams. When Grant
said, Let us have peace he simple meant
that it was for the best interests Of the people
not to trouble themselves about constitutional
rights, but quietly submit to the dictation of
Congress, and allow congressional enactmcnts
by Radical partIsans to rule the political az
fairs of our Union. only that, and nothing
more"

A new article of iron has been presented for
exhibition at the Geological Museum Of the
General Land Office. 1t is a sheet Of rolled iron
three feet long and twelve inches wide, and
weighs but 81 ounces. IL is thinner than ordi-
nary writing paper, and will float upon water.
Ii has fine polished surface, and its evenness
and texture Is superior to any thing Of the kind
We have ever seen. IL was manufactured by
VIM +. Rogers, Of Appolls, Pa, and Is used in
the manufacturing Of buttons, ornaments, &C.,
where very light and elastic texture is required.
This character of manufactured iron has here
fore come from Russia. The extreme thinness
or tenuity to which the process Of rolling has re-
duced this sheet, shows how pure and malliable
the metal has become when under treatment in
the furnace. The surface is equally smooth with
the best Russia sheet iron, and the whole pro
duct shows an extraordinary skin and pertec-
tion Of workmanship

Hibsrnian Benevolent Association.

This Association steadily and persistently
works itself into the cOntidence of our people,
and we have reason to believe its members will
be counted by the thousand before the END OF
the present year. When our Irish fellow citi-
Gems are fully apprized ofthe purposes and OBJ
jeets of this Association, and the good to accrue
to their wives and children, besides the social
advantages to themselves in being associated
with such men as compose the different
branches, their numbers must indeed be en-
larged. To exchange ideas and sentiments, to
become better acquainted with each other, to
have q fellow member to sympathise with an
other in his wants and his distress, to visit him
in sickness and soothe his aching head on 4
restless pillow-all these are considerations to
be of themselves highly priced, and should be
sufficient Inducements to cause every lrlshinan
and his descendants to join the Associatlon
To rehabilitate and reinvigorate the Irish ele-
ment in our midst is the duty of every man
having the good of his race and kindred at
heart. And we know of no way as efieetual
in doing so as by uniting together In the ira
terna1 work of aiding and assisting each other,
particularly the wives and orphans of deceased
members. -
We know from experience that many Irish
men are improyident during life, leave nothing
by for the faing day, seldom think of to- NOR
row, and when death, With his grim, hideous
yisage, puts in an appearance and takes the
member to himself, the poor wives and orphans
are left unprovided for, with no means OF sup
port nothing but bleak and squalid poverty
staring them in the face, a burden to them
selves and society, without probably a helping
hand to alleviate their distress. Then the
Hibernian Benevolent and Mutual Aid Associa-
ton comes to the rescue. They help the widow
in her distress, they feed her hungry children,
take care of them until such time as they are
able to take care in return of their aged mo
ther and comfort her in her old days.
The more effectually to perform this great
and charitable undertaking, which the Hib-r-
mans have marked out for themselves, they
propose giving grand social reunion ut Odd
Fellows Hall, on Saturday evening, February
5th where we are sure the clans Will assemble
in alt their majesty and power, and by that
means contribute to aid an undertaking worthy
of the appreciation of every man who loves his
kindred and his race.
