The New Sect-''Bible Christians. .

A new religious sect has arisen in
Boston, the members of which call
themselves "Bible Christians" They
think they have an insight as to the
meaning of the Bible that has been
given to none before them, and from
this they have learned the mistake
that has been made in the observance
of the Lords day. A converted
Methodist minister breaches TO them.
He and they hold that he is proph-
ct of the latter days, and they
point to verse in Malachi in which
his coming is forotold. The Lord has
them in special care, as they believe,
and they need take no thought for
tomorrow as regards worldly mat
ters. The whole Christian world is
soon to join them, and this year.
they say, will hardly pass before
that result is made manifest. Hold
ing these views, teacher in one of
the public schools--said to be q most
estimable, practical and sensible

Let the Brave Together Rest.

General John A. Rawlins, after q
life spent in the service of our coun-
try, it is known died poor, and now
it is told that his body lies in public
vault in Washington City. BY a
unanimous consent. on the 25th, a
resolution was introduced and passed
in Congress raising a committee to
procure an appropriate burial place
for his remains, and providing for
the cost of the same out of the con-
tingent fund Of the War Department.
General Rawlins was brave and
gallant officer, who fought his way
from subordinate line officer up to
the proud position of chief of staff
to the army. His name is familiar
to every intelligent soldier of the
vast armies of the rebellion. 1t be-
longs now to fame and history, 1t
is part of the record of our country.
We suggest as his resting-place
Arlington, where sleep the close bat
tallions of the armies of our dead
Let him rest among the men he led
and loved, and then let us consecrate
the spot for ever and unalterably to
sacred uses, and keep it as the silent
Pantheon of the Republic, a temple
grander and more solemn thanGreece
ever saw.-Forney Press.

REBEL CLAIMS AGA1N.--Should the
country DO 80 unfortunate as to fall
into tho hands Of democratic ad-
ministration aud Congress within
the next half century, we may ex-
poet that the first and chief Of their
acts will be tho assumption by the
Government Of the Southern rebel
war debt and the prompt and liberal
payment Of all claims, real or imagi-
nary, which Southern individuals
might urge for damage to their prop
erty by the Union army marching
to suppress rebellion and save the
nation. Several attempts were made
last week by Southern members of
Congress to secure the passage of a
joint resolution committing the
House to the policy of paying local
and Southern claimants for property
taken and damages sustained during
tho war, but in each instance they
were voted down by decisive ma
jority, Once open the food-gate of
the Federal Treasury to this sort Of
claims, paying rebels and traitors for
damages sustained in consequence of
their treason, and there will be no
end to it. The very fact that South
ern members have the effrontery to
ask Republican Congress to allow
these claims, shows what might be
expected at the hands of Democrat
e Congress, filed with copperhead
spirit and with rebel sympathy.

Cost of Living.

Within the past twenty years, the
mines of the United States have
yielded over $1,000, 900 of gold
and silver, which has entered into
the circulation as coin, or been put
to other uses to which the precious
metals are applied. This addition is
about equal to one-sixth:o of the whole
coinage of the world. The effect has
been that gold has sunk in value, as
compared with the standard of the
past or, what is the same thing,
prices generally have risen, measured
in the same way. The paper cur
rency of the country is not RESPONSE
BILE, to the extent supposed, for the
increased cost of living. If with
drawn from the circulation, it would
still take more gold than formerly to
pay bills.
The cost Of living, however, is too
high, measured by the actual condi-
ton of the country. Rents and
prices, are still, to some extent, ad-
justed on past condition of things,
and debts now due on loans, or
commercial paper, call for moro prin~
cipal than the debtor received, if of
over three months standing. Farm
products of all kinds are Of tho low
est Obj. The food Of the pooplo Is
abundant and cheap, and the wages
Of labor will follow the doclino.-
When We como to general merchan-
disc, the reduction has been almost
equally great. But tho cost of board
and the expenses of the family have
not kept pace fully, as yet, with tho
general falling off. This condition
Of things cannot last long, but is
working mischief whilo it docs last.
Business affairs are in q transition
state, and prices Of many things un-
equal, measured by tho financial
standard of tho day. Not until tho
Lowell is reached, can any one gradu-
alto his Expenses with certainty as to
future values, but lowering of all
kinds OF charges would follow q re-
duction of prices for most every form

Bismsrck's Opinion on the American
Government.

Bismarck himself publicly declared
his conviction that popular represen-
tation as exemplifed in the United
States was the only sure and perma-
nent foundation on which the gov
erning system of a great people could
rest. 1t was remarkable and sig
nificant thing that Bismarck, who
had SO long been regarded by En-
glishmen as a living symbol of the
most logged and uncompromising
Toryism, should come to receive, as
he did, the public and cordial thanks
of tho English Reform League (then
the most radical organization in
England, composed of mon who re-
galded John Bright as slow and
conservative for his practical and
complete recognition of the funda-
mental principle Of free government.
l presume we may take Bismarck s
own word for it that he had learned
his great lesson in the art of govern
ment from the teachings of the
American war. The echo of Apo
mattax rolled along the Rhine, Elbe,
the Spree and the Danube.-Froul

Prohibition in Ohio.

The liquor prohibition party in
Ohio will hold their State Conven-
ton at Columbus on June |, and will
nominate candidate for each of the
offices of Secretary of State, Comp
troller of the Treasury, member of
the Board of Public Works, and SUI
preme Judge. With the past expert
ments of the Prohibtiohists in Maine,
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
it is little strange that they can
hope for success in Ohio. 1t is GUS
tomary with those who are enthusi-
asts in the temperance reform, TO
reason out their success on the basis
upon which great religious reforms
and the removal Of slavery have been
effected. The world has always used
stimulants in some form, and the
taste for them seems to be the result,
to some extent, of development thro'
several generations. The attempt
to legislate, at one blow, any of these
stimulants out of use is simply alb
surd. What would be thought of an
attempt to legislate the use of tea,
coffee, or tobacco out OF existence =?
The appetite for spirituous liquors is
equally strong, and it is quite as i'm
possible to prohibit their use by leg
islation. The nomination of candi-
dates without shadow of chance
of electing them is simply hopeless
effort, that can serve but little good
to the temperance cause, and that
will result only in throwing the VIC
tory Of the election to the opposite
party. There are two ways ia which
temperance men cen do real SER
vice to the cause Of temperance.
Admitting that people lgtH drink
spirituous liquors, wines, &C., the
manufacture Of pure article should
be insisted upon. This we say in no
way indor6ing or favoring intemper-
ance. but simply admitting it as an
evil to be endured, and whose bad
effects may 10 some measure be miti-
gated. A light, cheap native wine,
the pure juice of the grape, would be
far better for general consumption
than the vlllainous, drugged abom-
nations that now send so many to O
lrunkard's grave and the time il
not far distant when our grape cul.
ture and our wine manufacture will
supply this necessity. Another way
OF aiding the temperance cause is tc
elect to office men who will use their
influence to enforce such liquor laws
as we have. By these two modes O
dealing with intemperance, some req
progress could be made in it's sup

asA- The capitalists in Eastern cit
ties have finally got tired Of holding
most OF the currency of the country
idle and without interest, and a
marked activity begins to manifest
atself in bonds, railway shares, and
stocks generally. 1t is estimated
that New York alone will have $780,
10000 to invest during the coming
three months, and if prices of grain
advance, the public may witness a
rebound from the present business
depression, and lively time gener-
ally. The Western States arc full of
wealth but they lack currency and

The Election Fraud Bill.

The primary object Of a nation s
legislation is self-preservation from
everything without or within, that
would endangOr It's purity or stabili-
ty. Many casos have arison, aside
from the acts of secession, which
domonstrate that the general govern
ment must havo and must exercise
great powers Of sovoreignty over
particular districts, TO render "equal
and exact justice to ALL" If tho dom
inant party in any State, forinstance,
unite in Expressing tho Freedmen,
without the possibility Of redress I'M
der the State government, it becomes
imperative on tho higher power to
ihterposc its authority.
The election frauds Of New York
City have so long been pointed at by
the rest Of the country Us q stigma
upon the name Of the republic, that
we had almost come to regard them
as necessary evil. Tho cloud of
political corruption that overshadows
such places is so thick and murky,
that good men gropO darkly about,
searching for the means of enforcing
the letter and spirit Of the law, but
are often defeated in their we'll
meant efforts by tho adverse deci-
sions of officers, who owe their high
places to the very same corrupt cleo
tion,practices. So unblushing and stu
pendous have been the violations Of
the election laws, that Congress is
called upon to enact and enforce a
law, that shall render it possible once
more for the majority to express the
popular will by fair voting.
Senator Conkling has introduced
ga bill to prevent and punish election
frauds" which there is good reason
20 hope will become law. 1t APP
plies TO all elections Of Congressman,
Presidential Electors, or any officers
Of said election, such as inspectors
and poll clerks, but of course takes
no cognizance Of elections of State
or municipal officers. 1t seems to
cover the whole case, and provide
Tor all tho ingenious devices &C illc-
gal voting and false returns. Section
one provides that any person convict
90 OF voting under false name, vo-
ting more than once, voting at the
wrong place, preventing another
from voting, interfering with inspec.
tors in their duties, bribing or forcing
them to make false returns, &C., shall
DO punished by fine not exceeding
$500, or imprisonment not exceeding
three years, or both, with costs of
prosecution. Section two contains
tho Same penalties for all violations
OF the laws Of registration. Section
throe guards the right Of citizens to
peacefully assemble in convention
or public meeting, to discuss any
pnblic measure concerning the gem
oral welfare, or tho merits and
claims o. any candidates for u. s..
Offices, by providing like punish
Dent for all who shall be convicted
Of breaking up or molestine such
uooting.
Let this bill become law, by all
means; let the United States deal
with tho "plug-uglies" and "repeat-
ora" with tho same Iigor that it uses
towards those who counterfeit the
currency, or dofraud tho revenue.

Catholicizing England.

a London correspondent of the
New York World gives some inter-
esting figures to show the prospect
of England's becoming ultima tely
Catholic. The statistics of the pros
poets Of English Catholicism are very
significant. There are fourteen do
ceses, seventeen hundred and eight
priests, eleven hundred and fifty-hve
churches and chapels, two hundred
and thirty-three converts, sixty-nine
monasteries, and twenty-five col
ieges. There are also "ffty-six very
large and well endowed charitable
institutions of different kinds, and
in almost every place whore there is
church there 10 % school for the
gratuitous instruction of the children
of the members Of the church. Du-
ring the year 1869 the number of
priests in England and Scotland in
creased thirty-seven; there were
twenty-five new churches and chap
els opened the number of monaster-
les and converts increased by three !;
there were sixty-nine ordinations by
the priesthood, and thirty-four
priests died." This data is made an
from official sources, and shows the
condition Of the church in England
and Scotland on the first of the

SOUTHERN PRosPERITY.-Spe
of the South from q material point Of
view, the Mobile Register says:
Cotton last year ran up to some
100000 bales, worth 100000, 5000
and last year Virginia sold 10000 !;
tons of products; that South Carroll
ma paid an internal revenue tax of
100000 and greatly reduced her
debt that twenty railroads are con-
structed in the two Carolinas, Geoi-
gia and Florida, while Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Alabama, have about forty
new lines under way.
All through the South there is al
so an internal State emigration. In
five months 3d. 900 emigrants, Is, 900
of them black, have passed through
Memphis, bound for the South and
Southwest. Virginia is losing her
negroes very rapidly.
This is all very cheering. Virginia
has surplus of black laborers, and
the Southwest opens an inviting field
for enterprising industry. The new
railroads will work marvels more
startling than those wrought by the
lamp Of the Arab tailor's son. The
future Of the South is radiant with
glorious probabilities.

sas- The Emperor Napoleon, on
the 23 ult. issued a decree submitting
to the vote Of the people Of France
the proposition of bis "plebiscitum !"
for certain moro liberal features of
the Government. While the crafty
Emperor thus proposes to make APP
parent concessions to his people, his
real purpose evidently is to save
himself and his Empire from revo-
lutionary overthrow, the French peo-
pie being greatly disconnected with
the present state of affairs.
