finally be disposed of before the Ecclesiastical

such an accusation as that brought against Dr..
Huston-now that the committee itself, after
hearing the evidence, are divided in opinion in
almost equivalent to condemnation and leaves
him in worse position than he would have
been if no investigation had been ordered. In
any event, and whatever may be the ultimate
result of the trial which is yet to come off, his
ministerial office is tainted. and his career of
usefulness at an end.-Bah Gazette.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-06-17

THE New York Express fDemOeratic)
is much dissatisfied with Nh. Greeley
because of his high tariff p~roclivities.
But the President doesn't make tariffs.
Congress does, and with Greeley will
come in a Congress that will setright all
wrong things in the tariff. Half a loaf is
better than no bread, and if Greeley is
high tariff, Graft Brown is low enough,
with a vote to give in the Senate, which
Greeley will not have. But this New
York means only this, We
suppose-that is, Greeley may possibly
be run, of course, and Adams be put on
too late-too late for all that. Besides,
after that Adams letter-a very, very
silly letter for a sensible man-his NOM
inatioR by a Democratic convention be-
comes utterly impossible. Mr.. Adams,
under that letter, would represent no.
body and nothing but himself. Nh.
Greeley, on the contrary, in a very able
letter, not only accepts the Cincinnati
platform, but so expounds it as to make
it satisfactory to all Democrats in the
land. Then all the Democratic conven-
tons, with the exception Of little Della
ware, have settled upon Greeley fresh
from and after consultation with Demo-
Gratis.

VIEW PAsrOR OF AN OLD CHURCH.


The addition of so important an ele-
ment to any community as a Christian
minister is attended generally with
some unusual manifestations of interest,
not only by the particular congregation
OF which he becomes part, but by the
general Christian public. As public
Journalists we were not without some
interest in common with the First Bap-
fist, one of the oldest congregations OF
our city, on the arrival of their new
pastor, Rev. G. A. Lotion, who preached
bis first pastoral sermon in that church
yesterday to a large and Intelligent
congregation. 1t is not enough to say
the congregation was attentive. The
interest manifested was profound. The
subject, Temptation thrillingly pre-
scented from the words "And Lot
pitched his tent toward SOdom," was
sufficient to indicate the position the
Doctor viii occupy among the Christian
ministry of our city. Judging from
this maiden effort no n Will fail 70 &C
cord to him pulpit abilities Of a high
order. Though a young man, DIR. LOf-
ton comes not among US a novice in the
ministry. He is from Georgia-a State
remarkable for the number and ability
of its sons engaged in his high calling,
among the foremost Of which he has
already taken position, if, indeed, he
was not at the head Of his denOmina-
ton. Our community gains much in
securing the settlement of such a man
IN our midst. A ripe scholar, fluent
speaker and active worker, be win not
be long in making a name and infiu-
ence for good in our midst.

Brain-work costs more food than hand
work. According to careful estimates
and analysis of the excretions, three
hours of hard study wear out the body
more than a whole day Of severe physi-

of brain-work is obtained from the fact
that though the brain is only one-fortieth
the weight of the body it receives about
one-ffth of all the blood sent by the
heart into the system. Brain-workers
therefore require a more liberal supply
of food, and richer food, than manuel
labOrers.

There is nothing more cheering than
the recuperative energy and progress OF
our State as illustrated in the numbers
and efficiency Of our schools. AS yet
the development Of popular ~educstion,
through the agency of common schools,
is not as satisfactory as the patriot might
desire, owing to cause inseperable from
civil war, and resulting social disorgan-
ization. But this deficiency is amply
supplied in the large number of private
schools recently sprung into existence
by private enterprise, where a thorough
education can be obtained at the lowest
rates. Tennesseeans can proudly
say that it is now no longer necessary
to send either boys or girls beyond the
State or beyond the eity's confines to
receive a most thorough education at
the most reasonable cost This is par
ticularIy true of our female schools. OF
the many academies Of the latter class
10 which our attention has been called
by popular appreciation, and a justly
earned good report, is 'Melrose Insti-
tute," presided over by Professor W. K.
Jones, at Trenton, in Gibson county,
Tennessee. This institution Of learning
has grown up, since the war, in
one Of the %fairest, and most healthfu
villages Of the State, solely through the
energy of Professor W. K. Jones. The
institution is located in the same town
where the Methodist Church located
Andrew College. a better location can
not be found in the State. Gibson
county has a population Of which the
State may justly be proud. Professor
X. Jones is beyond question n Of
the most thorough instructors that can
be found in any State. West Tennessee
should cherish this institution, aud see
that it receives the patronage due the
proficiency of the efficient President and
his highly accomplished faculty. By
building up such institutions Of learning
IN West Tennessee, the surest methods
may be found to render effective and
material power in the State and nation.

THE Administration party played one
game at Philadelphia and another in
Congress at the same time. 1t was a
majority in both houses Of Congress, and
it was a majority in the Philadelphia
Convention; and it had full power to
carry out inlegislation what pretended
to assert IN its platform. But it not only
failed to do this, but it positively refused
to do it. At Philadelphia it declared in
favor Of the abolition Of the Thanking
privilege, and a reduction of the rates of
postage. In Congress it did not even
consider the subject Of reducing postage,
although it had votes enough to pass
such a bill, and when the House, three
days after the adjournment Of the Phil
adelphia Convention, passed a bill to
abolish the ranking privilege, the Adj
ministration party in the Senate laid Il

Democratic Conventions held in Kan
