INSTALLATION.

According to announcement, Rev. c.
II. Thompson, ID. d., late of Newark,
New Jersey, was duly installed pastor OF
Straight University Church, last Sunday
evening. There was large congregation
present, and the exercises were not only
interesting, but exalted and impressive.
Several ministers were present and took
part In the formalities. Opening services
by Rev. n. B. James; sermon by Rev. j.
W. Healy, President of the University.
Installing prayer, charge and right hand
OF fellowship, by Rev. William Robinson,
agent Of the Baptist Home Missionary
Society. Address to the congregation
on the reception of the newly indicted
pastor, by Rev. j. C. Hartzwell, of the
Ames Methodist Episcopal Church. Ben
ediction by the pastor.
Thus; after years laboring and hop
iIg, have I'VE seen the pledge and earnest
OF the establishment in our midst of a
liberal, ON enlightened, and advancing
church organization. Without the slight
est intention Of derogating one jot or
little from the merit of other churches,
we cannot avoid the conclusion, that
hitherto we have had no place of wor-
ship combining all the elements requisite
to commendit to our prospect and devotion.
Radical defects of one kind or another
have repealed those most anxious to fost-
er md encourage religious education, and
the moral ennobling Of a long down-trod-
den and degraded people.
In the formation of the Straight Uni
versity Church, there is the display Of
wisdom, and of a keen appreciation of
the needs of the time, and an evident de-
termination to plant an institution which
like lever shall lift up and elevate all
who come in contact with it. The re-
moval of DR.. Thompson, a minister of
acknowledged culture and ability, from a
large, and prosperous congregation IN
the North, to New Orleans to preside
over an infant Institution, is an indica-
ton of the purpos. of the movers in this
matter.
We are grati6ed to learn that already
there are a score of persons who. have
iOlnDd themselves in Church fellowship
with the Doctor. We wish the infant
church every possible success.

kU-KLUX .

The Ku-Klux of North Carolina are
reported to be ION the increase in the
State aud are scourging white women as
well as other persons" They are also
becoming more daring aud avow pur-
pose to openly fight, ii any of them
are punished. They boast of their Or
ganization and strength fu all of the States
and are outrageous enough to be ready
to make war again. This may be an ex-
IRENE view of their pretensions, but there
is no reasonable doubt that the overthrow
of Republican rule, and the prolonged
debasement OF our entire race in this coun-
itry, are the foundations of this opposi-
and at the same time cause of all the Outra-
ges inflicted. The approach of another
Presidential Election, is alarming. The i'll
chances Of success for the Democratic
party, under existing circumstances, are
calling up to the level of the encounter,
all the wit and wisdom of the Democrat
ic party and they are bravely and des-
perately preparsins for the struggle all
over the country. Congress has not
been too soon in proposing enquiries in
to the co ldition of peace and order in''the
Southern States, with the view OF afford
ing some efectuil remedy, necessary.

THE WAR INDEMNITY

A Belgian paper has the following IN.

Germans during the war:
"Ten milliards in 81. pieces would ve;,,

POSING this column of coins to have i,
base at Paris and to fall in the direction
OF Berlin, the part of the column which
would strike the latter city would b.
hardly one-fifth Of the entire length from
the base Of the column, If q ready cashie,
who can on an average count 10000 S.
pieces per hour, were alone to attend to
the counting of the ten milliards, and il
he were to begin at the age of thirty, and
to be engaged at it eight hours Of tho
day, and 300 days in the year, he would
be 135 years old before he had comple.-
ed the task. He would then assuredlv
be convinced of the truth Of tho proverb,
Money does not bring happiness.
Our AFOREMENTIONED the idea OF ones

profound impression, and the after feel
ings of the world are more or less light
in comparison. Even in our old age NO
l,ok back to that feeling as tho sweets
we have through life. Our passions and
our wilfulness may lead as far from tho
object of our flial love we learn even
to pain her heart, to oppose her wishes.
to violate her commands we may be-
come wild, head-strong and angry ct her

has stilled her monitOry voice, and nothing
but still memory remains to re-capitulats
her virtues and good deeds, affection,
like flower beaten to the ground bys
past storm. raises up her head and
smiles among her tears. Round that
idea, as we have said, the mind clings
with fond affection and even when tho
early period of our loss, forces memory
to be silent, fancy takes the place ORE

dead parent with graoes and beauties
and virtues, which we doubt not she
possessed. Ed. Louisianiaa.

THE wife of Methodist preacher in
Richmond, Indiana, few days ago, bat
tered the head of an old German furni-
ture dealer with piece of lumber, and
smashed his windows, because he insulted
her. She was arrested for this, and on
the examination before the mayor it trans
pired that the sensitive female, being igno.
rant of the German language, had misun-
derstood word of friendly salutation for
an insult; whereupon she had resorted to
the measure already described to vindicate
her claims to responsibility.

CURRENT opinion among Congressman
places the length of the new session at
from ten days to two weeks. 1t should be
remembered, however, that there was the
same certainty of very brief session two
years ago, but Congress sat for six
weeks, and two years before when
the Fortieth Congress met, although
there were no committees appointed in the
House, the session ran into April. It will
not be possible to predict the length of the
session until it is seen what business is in
troduced, and what bills are pressed. The
increased strength of the Democrats in the
new House will make an important change
in the methods Of legislation, 1t will no
longer be possible tosuspend the rules upon
any party question, as the Republicans
have been able to do for the past
six years. Fewer bills will be rushed |
through under the previous question, and |
more full consideration will be given to all |
measures, for the minority will be strong
enough to secure what time they want for
debate. Experienced Republican members
think both sides Of the House will be the
gamers by this reduction in the heretofore
overwhelming majority of the dominant
party. A strong and vigilant minority
will prevent the majority from being led
into hasty and extravagant legislation, and
will cause the Republicans to watch the
with care, and vote intelli-
gently on all important questions while
The minority will have more of the dignity
and responsibility of great party, and
ess of the character of prejudiced, OBJ
'tinate, irresponsible, and powerless fac

The LAST Hours OF THE FoRTY-FIRsT
CONGRESS. The House galleries were
densely crowded Saturday to witness the
adjournment of the old Congress and
organization of the new. After the cleo
ton OF Speaker Blaine. the members of the
House were sworn in, being called in front
OF the Speakers desk by States to have
the oath administered. 1t so happened
that South Carolina and Alabama were
called together, and the coored members
from those States--Rainey, Elliott and De
Large, of the former State, and Turner of
the latter State-were in the same
group. The appearance of four coored
men, one of them very dark, caused
stretching of necks, especially on
the Democratic side, and there
was perceptible sensation while the oath
was being administered to them. Wells,
the colored member from Florida, was
sworn in with the Georgia and other
Southern delegations. The drawing for
seats will take place on Monday. The
usual commotion attending the adjourn
ment of session took place, and the lob
bies were well filled by persons anxious to
have some pet scheme hurried through be-
fore the close. The clerks of both the
House and Senate were on rush to get
all the bills enrolled, SO that thew might
be sign before IL o'clock, and succeeded in
getting all finished. The appropriation
bills were all signed by the President
during the morning.
