ulation and comment on ali Sides The English
Legation are very much grAifed at the result
and prophesy that in two months treaties will be
negotiated for the settlement of the boundary
dispute, the fishery troubles and the Alabama
claims. Quite number of Senators and men,
bers are little dubious, however, and seem to
think that so far from England having made any
concessions, all have beenImade blythe Administra-
ton Great stress is laid on the fact that this Gov
ernment has agreed to let all the British claims
which arose out Of the rebellion to come in as
counter to the Alabama claims, which is the very
point that the Johnson-C Clarendon treaty covered
and which the United States Senate almost una
nimously rejected. These claims cover large
amounts, including cotton belonging to British
subjects which this Government seized and sold
during and since the war in the South.

THE VACCINATION BILL

Yesterday, the Senate had under con-
sideration bill to provide for gratuitors
vaccination throughout the State. This
measure being something entirely new,
lacked the important prelude Of an i'm
posing preamble, which would have set
forth few of the ,chereases, which point
out the necessity, Importance, and hene'
fits OF the immediate passage of such an
enactment. We credulously suppose the
scheme to be intended to protect the
people from the lnvages of small pox,
but sever l sagacious and we confess
suspicious friends fancy they "smell q
MICE" and are actually afraid to pass the
measure, lest there might be something
underneath that latitude of authority
sought to be conferred on the Board of
Health, that would enable that body to
interfere with or obstruct the working
of other measures. We confess to con-
siderable sympathy with this mistrust,
which we regard, as but the natural in
evitable result of frequent former de-
ceptions and frauds on popular credulity
With the bill therefore we have bui
little care; although we are inclined tc
witness the adoption Of a good bill on this
question. The measure now before the
Legislature is exceedingly crude and be
trays the marks OF haste, and if the bill
does not pass the House before our mex
issue VIC will point out the features o
failure, as measure to promote and Sc
cure vaccination.

feelings of fraction of Democracy,

1t is not the exalted imagination Of ma

himself who combines the elements Of O
great and honorable future, but it is to
the reason of these same people, in the

nation and of the sacred cause of humani
ty and civilization. r
"The worthy President Grant, there
fore, although he describes the beauty
and fertility of our soil and the exuber
ance of its wealth, evokes no phantom
and seeks no fallacious ycolors to fill hi
pictures, but uses the persuasive Ian
guage of figures to demonstrate to

Rev. CHARLES NJ. THOMPSON, D. D.

According to announcement Or, Char
les H. Thompson, preached last Sunday
morning, in the chapel Of Straight Uni
yersity, to large and attentive cOngre-
cation. The text was from Gal. ca.
VI For whatsoever man soweth that
shall he also reap" The learned Divine
expourded the doctrine of the passage,
with much clearness and vigor, and ar
gued out his subject, with an adherance
- the text and an application to his
hearers, that prove him to be no smatte-
rer in theology and evangelical preach
ing.
In the evening the Doctor preached at
ST. James Chapel and there we ere in
formed lie was probably listened to by
a large auaiense On Tuesday evening
the COMMITTEE of Ladies Of Straight
University Association" rendered for
NAL reception to the DIR. and Mrs Thomp-
son, at which the most prominent and
most promising portion OF the embryo
religious organization assembled to as
sure the new minister cordial reception
and give him tokens OF affection and es-
TEEN.
In the language of one of the Hymns
we tender our welcome this way.
We bid thee welcome in the name
OF Jesus, our exalted head
Come as q servant, as he came
And We receive thee in his Stead,
Come as a shepherd, guard and keep
His fold from hell, and EARTH and sin;
Nou-;sh the lambs, and Feed the sheep
The wounded heal, the lost bring III.
Come as q teacher, sen. from God
Charged his whole counsel to declare;
: Lift DER our ranks the Prophets rod
While We uphold thy hands with prayer
Come as q messenger of peace,
Filled with the spirit, fired with love;
Live 20 behold our large increase
And die to meet us I'll above.
There was an expression in the Doc
tors exordium which we much admire
and approve of. He announced himse!
as a minister of the Gospel and disavow
ed any intention to involve himself II
politics This is wise resolve. The de
parture from the proper and pecuha
srhele of duty to which those are res
tricted, who are sent ''to preach the Cos
pei to every creature" by many minis
| ters, here and elsewhere, has resulted Il
: more detriment to the best interest OF tn
Church, more Gissensions among tn
!. followers, and more loss OF reputation t
