Good Advice from the Right
Quarter.

The Americas Club Of Philadelphia
elected, at u late meeting, w. V.
McGrath, Esq, as President. lie gave
the following advice to the Club,
which we hope will be needed as much
as it is needed, there and elsewhere.
He said:
"Thc experience of the past has
proved that it is worse than idle to
make nominations unfairly, or select
unfit candidates. Let us, therefore,
determine to aid in correcting our
mistake in this respect for the future.
Let us assist in establishing the stand,
ard Of good personal, as well as politl-
cal, character and ability in nomina-
tions. 1t is not necessary to hunt for
good candidates alone amongst those
who have grown old in the acquisition
of wealth in business pursuits, OF
among those who have heretofore sat
isfactolily discharged the duties OF
official positions; they may be found
among the many active, intelligent
young and middle-aged men Of the
party-men of steady business habits
and good moral standing in the com
munity, against whom their political
opponents could. in truth, utter no
word Of censure or Representatives,
are the men to fttinsly represent the
Democratic party and give it success"

RIGS which form the text of'this weeks
discourse.
Eminent historians assure us that sit
is difficult 10 correct the aged, and to
make people change principles, who re-
we're the errors in+ which they have
grown grey" and this is the reason
why so many thousands of the ''House
nf Israel will perish miserably in the
wilderness, after God has gotten them
Z" praise and fame in every land where
they have been put to shame" 1t is a
fundamental principle in Gods dealing
with nan that Without faith it 10 i'm
possible to please Him." and when He
has provided evidence sufficient to con
vince any n with an honest heart, and
still men 60 on and make the Word Of
God Of none effect by their traditions,
the consequences may justly fell upon
their own heads. 1t is true that the
door Of salvation is open now to all,
but when Christ appears it will be
closed and none can enter then; as it
IS written: :
"Wlen once the master of the house il
risen up. and hath SHUT TO TuE DOOR, and
We begin to stand without, and to knock
ut the door, saying. Lord, Lord, open unto
us; He shall say, tell you | know
not whence you are: depart from me al
We workers OF iniquity."
Christ himself predicted that when
he returned the world would be like i,
was in the days Of the food, and in.
quired. "When the Son Of man comett
shall he find faith on the earth !"
The premises considered, and il
view of the declaration Of Pau. 10 th,
Gentiles that "If God spared not thu
Hebrews take heed lest he spare no
thee" are we not warranted in coming
to the conclusion that all the Gentil,
inhabitants Of the earth "from 20 year,
old and upward" with few excep
tons, will be slain, when Christ-wht
is the second Adam, second Moses
and second David-shall come tt
grasp the sceptre of universal empir
and rule the world in righteousness
and that the forty years will be spen
by Christ in purging out that elemen
whose opinions it is almost impossible
to change, and which would mar tn
harmony of his government?
Those that are over twenty years o
age who will escape destruction, AM
form al exception to the rule-as dit
Caleb and Joshua-will be those who
like Simeon Of old, have on the wed
ding garment, and are waiting for tn
Kingdom of God.

From the New York Times.
The new Empire Of Germany be-
gins from this time a career Of i'm
mense importance to the world. Its
population is the second of the great
States of Europe. Russia leads it with
Co. 0O, 900 but including Alsacc and
Lorraine, Germany follows with 49,
10000 of the most industrious and
intelligent inhabitants to be found in
any community of the world. France
shorn of large part Of her two prov
inces, comes next with 36,430, 600
anu then the Austrian monarchy with
35,943, 900, and Great Britain with 3d.
$4,000; last oil all being Italy, with
Rome, counting 26,470,0O0 Inhabitants
Even the preponderating population of
the &c rmaD Empire is no fair meas
ure Of its strength. Its position is
central, whether for military or moral
influence. 1t is compact and homo
geneous. All its vast forces are under
the control Of one Executive and the
Parliament. Its leading State-Prus-
sia-is confessedly the most intelli-
gent, disciplined and vigorous COM
munity in Europe. The Administra-
ton is everywhere economical and
thoroughly well orga nized. The edu-
c%ational system of Prussia, its econo.
my and thorough discipline, will Aow
be .spread through all tae Empire.
Even this tremendous war will leave
less debt on the Empire than il would
on any other civilized State. The

SAN DOMINGO.

We have extracted literally from the
letters of New York correspondents who
have accompanied the San Domingo
Commissioners. These extracts will give
fair impression of the country and par
ticularly of the condition of its inhabi
tants who are for the most negroes and
mongrels. Generations ago that most de-
lightful of all the lands on this footstool
of God, was given over to freedom. >
The negroes were emancipated and then
white masters either abandoned the coun.
try or were massacred. Previous to that
time the natral resources of the country
had been developed, and it was enriched
by prosperous commerce.
With emancipation the negro popula-
ton relapsed into semi-barbarism, the in
dustry of the island persisted, and all its
signs of prosperity withered as if God
had sent a blighting curse upon it.
Certain benevolent American colonial
tionists despatched large numbers of ne
groes from the United States into the
Island who had been elevated by the in
struction and example of the whites,
thinking thus to arrest the descent of the
natives to ignorance and degradation, but
with these missionaries the African in
their natur1 predominated and they level
ed downward instead of upward contrary
to the hopes of the believers in Africa
These correspondents tell US that the ne
gro colonists have been reduced to the
same condition of abject poverty, squalid
Indebtedness and ignorance as the natives
themselves.
These accounts it viii be remembered
are furnished by friendly hands. In con
nection with them we cannot fail to recall
the experiment of the English govern
ment in Jamaica. After years of trial
she has abolished the negro government
of the island and substituted an Admin
istration of whites other own appointment;
and by still later accounts, it is represent
ed that she has found it necessary to dis
place the negro troops which were organ
lied for the defense of the country, with
white ones. Her experiment was made
to test the capacity of the negro for self
government unaided by the superior in
teIlect and higher attributes Of the white
race.

A Plain Question Plainly AM
SNYercd.


The Kosciusko Chronicle l. exercised
over an expression of the Jackson CLARfoN,
in regard To the Bond question. That jour
nal suggested that the people "will recon-
pense the.taX -gatherers who may be willing
TO risk the peril of collecting tribute for
the gamblers, with short thrlft and long
rope"
The Chronicle Affects not 10 understand
this, and inquiries IL II Is threaty We are
not authorized To answer the CLARION, bat
we can answer for the peoplel We tell the
Chronicle, then, that the Legislature that
undertakes to saddle thirty millions Of dol
lars upon the people of Mississippi, under
the pretence of paying the repudiated bonds,
cannot live In the State! LII the thieves,
aliens, and enemies OF our people, who are
now robbing them, will remain In Jackson
for just twenty days alter they have assum-
ed the payment of these repudiated bonds,
we will enter into good and sufficient surety
that every man voting for this payment,
shall be hung by the neck until very, very

We hope the Chronicle understands this,
for we assure that journal, as we now assure
the agents and whippers In Of the bond pay
