A Sermon by Punshon.

The Rev. Morley Puushon was in
Portland last year. Lately he delivered
a sermon in St. Paul l's Methodist Church,
New York, which is thus reported
St. Paul's Church, on the corner OF
Fourth Avenue and Twenty-second
street, was filled to overAowing last
evening to hear the celebrated English
divine, Rev. Morley Punsion. That
gentleman not only preached the ser
mon, but conducted the ordinary exer-
cises of the evening, giving out the
hymns, reading q chapter and making
the Introductory prayer. In his prayer
he asked the blessings of God on this
nation, on the administration, on the
mother country. and on the pending
Alabama claims negotiations. Let
thy spirit descend" he said, "upon the

bust Englishman, with broad shoulders,
high forehead and remarkably cleal
voice. He had free style in delivery.
and his sermon was full Of vigorous
thought and apt figures.
He took his text from st. Paul to the
Romans, vi, 22-" But now being made
from sin, and become servants to God,
ye have your fruit unto holiness. and
the end everlasting llie." The text, -

ants of the most despotic master ye

just as despotic. See the lark at early
dawn winging his way through the blue
ether heaven-ward until he becomes in
visible and is nothing but song in the
heavens how free is he, rejoicing in the
strength of his wings and the wide
sweep of earth and air spread out about
him Is he free ? The strong tie of
parental love draws him down, down,
down to where in the dewy grass, in a
secure spot, his mate and her fedgings
nestle. The emigrant, hewing his way
in the almost unexplored wilds, cutting
him home with his axe, winning his
subsistence with his rifle, reigning al
most supreme over the wild lands that
he has possessed-is he free A sense
of longing, of hoping, of homesickness
comes over him and blinds him Sith the
fetters of despot to the dear old copse
where his old hom stead is and where
his boyhood's feet have played. Here,
then, is the service that We take upon

TIE ELECTORAL VoTE.-We have been
requested to answer the question
whether the next President will be chos-
en- by an Electoral College numbered
according to the representation of the
States in the present G neress or nc
cording to the number to which the
States will be entitled under the new
Aprortionment bill based upon the ninth
census.
The second clause of the first section
of Article II, of the Constitution pro-
vides that Each State shall appoint, in
such manner az the Legislature there
fore may direct, number of electors,
equal to the whole number of Senators
and Representatives to which the State
may be entitled in the Congress-" who
shall meet, etc. The Forty-second
Con sress does not expire until the 4th
of March, 1873. at which date the new
Congress-wherein the States will be
entitled to the representation appor-
toned upon the ninth census-will COM
mence its existence. The President and
Vice President are elected in January,
two months before the expiration Of the
present Congress ss-whsnce We conclude
that the number of electors in the COM
ing election will be equal to the rep
resentation to which the States are at
present entitled, or. in other words,
the Electoral College will be the same
in 1872 as in 1868. The three Sta es
not entitled to representation in Cou-
gress in 1868 were Mississippi. Texas
and Virginia. The total vote cast in
1868 was 294, of which Grant received
214 and Seymour so. This year tie
Congress is full, and the entire 317 vote
will be cast in the election Of Pres.
dent and Vice President. -Inter-Oce; n
TEA AND CoFFEE.-The duty on tea
and coffee has been abolished. The fol-
lowing is certified copy of the act :
An Act repeating the duty on tea and
coffee Be 1t enacted, by the Senate and
House of Representatives Of the United
States of america in Congress assembled,
That on and after the first day of July
next, Tea and Coffee shall be placed on
the Free List, and no further import
duty shall be collected upon the same

ject to no duty upon the entry thereof
