The Richland Beacon is in
clined to doubt our veracity,
and that ofour informant, in re-
gard to the ability of the freed
man, Burton, to run down a
deer. The Beacon should learn
that deer are by no means so
fleet as is generally supposed.
A hunter can run one down
on an open prairie on any good
horse. When very fat and the
weather very hot, we think q
long winded, fleet man, as Bur.
ton surely is, could overtake
and capture one. The Indians
have been said to do it often.

Dear SIR: In your recent letter

you agree with Mr.. Greeley about

Greeley is right; and he himself
would run better than General
Grant, especially in the South,
where the Republican party is liza

Education to Work.

it is not SO. We conceive that
the parent, who has noF learn
ed his child to work, has wo-
fully neglected his education.
Filling the soil is the occupa-
ten of nine-tenths of the peo-
pie of QUE parish, and, there
fore, we shall address our ar
guments to the farmer. The
farmer has learned his profess
sion after years of labor, and is
in a better condition to teach
his knowledge to his children
than any one else. He can
teach his children and at same
time profit BY Their labor.
1t is an old maxim, that if
you spare the rod, you spoil
the child; ami iii is true enough.
But the rod is 10y no means
the only method of teaching,
and our own opinion is, that
it should never be used where
milder remedies arc at hand

CoRoNER.-ft is not good
policy, surely, to have such a
great number of offices of Meth
er honor nor profit. Of this
number, is the Office of Coro-
ner in the country parishes.
Its emoluments are meagre
enough, and its powers are so
small that much honor can
not be said to be attached to it
The duties of the Office, as to
holding inquest, could better
be performed by Justices of the
peace, one of whom is resident
in each ward. The Constables
could serve all writS, that the
law now requires to be served
| by the Coroner, and in case oil
a vacancy in the sheriffalty,
some other bonded officer, the
the Recorder, for instance
could fill it temporarily.

ment should be simplifed by
reducing the number of offices
and making it worth while t.

The Sermons Yesterday.

Few of the parsons have yet got back to
their work, not even the delightful weather of
the last few days being able to entice them to
their pulpts before the full time of their vaca-
ton shall have expired. Among the small
number who have returned is the Rev. DIR.
Merrill Richardson, of the New England Con-
gregational church, who opened his fall and
winter campaign by assaiing the alleged po-
litical crimes of our officials. He declared
that the sins Of prosperous wicked men shall
find them out in the end. After saying
his say on municipal and official corruption
DIR. Richardson took up the social crimes
of the day, with special reference to the
case of DR.. Rosenzweig and is described by
our reporter as startlingly eloquent though it
was too late in the day for the clergyman to
say anything new upon the subject. Thus it
will be seen that DR.. Richardson is not only
among the first of the holiday preachers back
to his pulpit, but he leads all Of them In the
sensation preaching which naturally follows
the recreation season.
At St. Patricks Cathedral the sermon was
preached by the Very Rev. DR.. STAIRS, and it
was opportune in subject, if not in substance,
the theme being the duty of parents in the
education of their children. Much Of Dr.
Stars reasoning was not as valuable as it
might have been on so oppOrtune an occasion
because of his hostility to our common school
system, and his idea that the great roll OF sui
cides, murderers and great criminals is always
filed by those educated in the public schools.
Both these positions are mistakes on the
mart of the eminent divine. The blessing of
religious teaching it is for the Church to sup
ply, and it cannot retard the efforts of the
Christian teacher that reading, writing and
arithmetic are taught by the State. Early re-
ligious training and secular instruction are
entirely different things, and in a republic
which recognizes every sect as entitled to the
protection of the laws they cannot readily be-
combined.
The sermon of the Rev. DR.. J. A. M. Chap
man, pastor of st. Johns Methodist church,
Brooklyn, was not sensational, Notwithstanding
It was bis 6rst DISCOURSE after his vacation

cent debt in securities bearing the lower rate
of interest of five, four and half and four per
cent The national banks have shown no
disposition to aid the government by taking
these new securities, and only at the last hour,
when driven to it, have they consented to take
about hundred millions of the five per cents,
those bearing the highest rate of interest, out
of fifteen hundred millions offered Yet these
national banks derive far greater benefit
from government than the Bank of France,
the Bank of England, or any other national
bank does. While the Bank of France
lends the French government money
at one per cent interest, and is otherwise Of
great benefit to the State, and while the Bank
of England pays the British government q
large amount on the profits of its circulation,
and does, without cost, most of the business
of the British Treasury our banks are given
all the profit on a national circulation Of three
hundred and fifty millions, besides drawing
interest TO the amount Of twenty millions q
year on their security bonds, and in the
end, as we see, are of no use to the govern
ment in its financial operations or when it
requires assistance. If there were war
crisis or any other crisis tomorrow the
national banks would be of no service to the
government and nation. They are simply
private corporations though sustained and
enriched by the government, which only study
how much they can wiring from the people and
the Treasury. A national bank like that of
France or of England might not be adapted
to the institutions of this country, but our
present national banking institutions are both
useless to the government and q vampire
hanging upon the Treasury ana industry of
the people.
