Salaries Of New York Preach

The whole number Of Protestant
Churches in New York is $40. Their
valuation is 81 100000, and their ca
pacity is 292,700. Including the
Catholic priesthood the whole numb r
of clergymen in New York is probably
600. The lowest salary pad to a
minister is $500, and only one is en-
ployed at that low figure. The aver
age salery appears to be about $4,000.
The highest salaries are paid by the
Episcopal Church. DR.. Morgan Dix,
of Trinity, receives $4,000, DR.. Pot
ter, of Grace, receives $4,000. Drs.
Montgomery, Morgan, Weston and
Troope, of the Incarnation, st Thorn
as, Trinity Chapel, of st. Johns, and
Trinity Chapel, respectively receive
each $4,000 As Trinity owns some
$50, Oo0Oo0j worth of property, it can
aford'to pay good salary. The value
of Trinity Church itself is $780,
900, and that of Grace Church 81 $50
600. Several Episcopal ministers re.
ceive from 81, 900, to $4,000, and.only
few are 50 low on the list as 81 900.
Salaries in the Presbyterian Church
also rate high, though not up to the
Episcopal. Dr. Gardiner Spring, now
past his S0th year, is about the best
paid, bis salary being $4,000. Ten
others receive $4,000, each, two re-
ecive $1,000 each, and the remainder
receive from 81 900 to sJ,o9o. The

A Brutal Murder.

LOUISVILLE, March 9.-Early yes
terday morning three negroes broke
into the house of an old man of eighty
years, named James Mcneil, near
Shelby City, Boyle county, and brutal
ly murdered him, splitting his head
open with an AK, and stabbing him in
several places. The purpose evidently
was robbery, as large amount of
mo:-y was in the house, but the vii
lians were frightened away by the
screams OF the wife of the murdered
man. Great excitsment followed i'm.
mcdiatcly that this ci;mc became
known, and search for the murderers
was promptly organized. Two, arrest.
ed in the evening and lodged in jail at
Dunville, had marks Of the victims
blood on their hands and clothing, AID
a bloody knife, which correspondent
with the wounds on the body. Last
night it was currently reported that
there was an intention to take the ne.
groes out of Jail and lynch them. A
number of negroes gathered in Dun
vile, armed and paraded the streets,
declaring they would shoot any one
who attempted to lynch the murdcrers,
but are willing they should have fair
trial and hung if guilty. The greatest
excitement prevails in the town and
vicinity. One of the negroes arrested
is named Bob Isaacs. Both were iden-
tilted by the wife of the murdered
man.

DEAR SIR Will you allow me
sraco in your columns to inquire how
much truth thore is in the report in
circulation about The expenditures of
the present Superintendents Of the

they have paid out $50 per day since
coming into Office. Now, while l am
aware that the present winter has been
unusually s;ckly, and, owing to the
large number of men employed in the
camps, quite prolific in accidents, yet
| cannot understand, even under such

pcnditures could amount to $50, or
even $40 day. If not deemed i'm

The Lansing Republican says: A
specific State tax of three per cent.
upon the gross premium receipts of all
insurance companies doing business in
this State, and not organized under
our laws, is due and payable to the
State Treasurer in the month of Jan.
uary. In 1871, ninsty-two fire insu-
rance companies paid taxes amounting
to 81 ,G62 62. Thus far in 1872 Fifty
six fire insurance companies have paid

cess of the entire payments of last
year. These payments were by forty
four old and twelve new companies,

paid last year still unheard from
Many of these have ceased to do
business, but active steps are being
taken by the Commissioner of Insur-
ance to collect the amount due to tho

A TERRIBLE ARRANGEMENT OF
GRANT

The Democrats have justly preferred
many very serious charges against Grant.
He has been wanting in so many Of the
elements that should characterize the Chief
Magistrate of a great republic, and has fall
en- so far short of what his voluntary prom
ises led the people to hope from his admin
istration; not only that, but has trampled
upon the rights of the people of the South
especially to such an eXtent,that there have
been grounds for very grave charges against
him, and many very strong indictments
have been preferred against him based up
on the deficiencies and his want of mag
nanimity, not to say patriotism. But we
have never seen so completely combined all
the charges that could in justice be laid at
his door as is contained in a call for meet
ing of members of his own political house
hold, of men who voted for him in 1868,
for a meeting at Richmond, Indiana, to ap-
point delegates to the Liberal Republican
Convention at Cincinnati. We have never
seen so tersely grouped the evidences of
Grants maladministrati9n as these Indiana
Republicans have thrown together in this
call, and they more than sustain all that
has ever been charged by the DemocI ats.
These Indiana Republicans, men who help
ed to elect Graut in 1868, say in their call ::
Gan Republicans are urgently solicited to
participate in the meeting who are opposed
to the continuance CT an administration
illustrious in the annals of our country:
81. For its shameless nepotism.
go. For its corrupt military rings.
"3. For its personal favoritism in return
for pecuniary and other gifts to the Presi-
dent.
81. For its continuance in office of per-
sons of proved incapacity and Of more than
doubtful honesty.
rs. For its absence from the seat of
Government for months almost contin-
uously.
"6. For its generalization of the civil
service, Induced directly by the vicious ex-
ample of the head of the administration.
81. For It's reprehensible interference
with elections and conventions Of the peo-
pie, as illustrated in the cases Of Missouri
and Louisiana,
"S. For its opposition to the investiga-
ton of frauds and populations.
so. For its repeated exercise Of doubtful
powers.
$40. For its subserviency to and control
bv number of graceless, corrupt politi-
clans, of more than questionable moral
character.
all. For its consorting with and control
nv persons unknown to the party Or to the
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-04-21

TIE New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says "Administra-
ton circles are not pleased with the i'm
preston made by their Grant meeting" on
the night of the 18th inst. 1t says:
sit was neither as large nor spontaneous
as the Liberal meeting last week, and the
speakers are blamed by unbiased Republi-
cans for being too bitter toward opposition
in their ranks, and too slavish in personal
sl}sTiance 70 Grant, denouncing all who are
nnt ready TO admit he must be reelected or
tie country plunged into ruin. Every Post
office, CustomhOuse and revenue official
within twenty-five miles of New York
labored TO make the meeting imposing but
failed to exclude some of the thinking
masses, as the fervent applause for Greeley
testified"
The New York EUening Post of the
18th inst. criticises very severely the Grant
demonstration for assuming to be Republi-
can, whereas it represented nothing but the
Grant faction. 1t praises the responsibility
OF the officers of the meeting, but says its
action contained literally nothing of value
or power, the speeches being utterly beneath
the character, of the assembly.
