think it worth while to make any great eff
fort about it. Each one jots down in his
private memorandum the amount that he re.
ceives, and if any one would know any
thing of the years business he must look
over the three hundred and sixty,fve pages
in each of the FIVE memoranda.
1t is not necessary to give the practices of
the other churches. They are all failures
financially, simply because every business
rule is violated. There is neither diligence,
accuracy, nor accountability; and it is not
made any ones business to see that there
should be either. There is not merchant
in town but would fail in the next six
months if he should attempt to do his bust
ness in the same way. There is with
holding more than is meet in the expenses
of business management, which tendeth to
poverty in the church or in the shop.
The last pastor Of our church here was
fasaea by debts just in this way. The rev.
s'e 9ciea part. of what
- eonsssva No. 4spt in SO irresponsible a
manner that no one knew what became Of
it; and the result was, necessarily, debt and
bitterness of heart. l can see that my hus-
band is trying to avoid this result, but he
knows as we'll as do that his resignation
must be handed in in a few months, and he
must leave the church to mutual recrimina
tions over the past, and the wear and tear OF
renewed "candidating." l can see that the
approach of the crisis is weighing upon him.
He does not work with his old-time reg.
ularity now, nor with anything of enthuSi-
asm or cheerfulness. He knows that six
months of candidating will prune off from
the church all the growth of the last three
or four years; but he knows equally well
that he cannot retain his influence when
hopelessly in debt, and dishonored by broken
promises. So / doubt not that in few
weeks you will have to record the shipwreck
of another minister through the present un-
business-like way of doing church business.

If you will give careful heed to these sim,
pie points, 1 will look for bright and happy
days before you, and feel that the pain of
parting is greatly diminished. May God
be with you and your husband and his house
hold, making you a sunshine and joy to
them all. We shall miss you at home, but
remember you daily at a throne of grace,
and hope to meet you again on earth, and
forever in heaven.
Your affectionate father.

CARRYING Religion too Far.


The famous Mr.. Wiberforce was in the
twenty-fourth year of his age when he was
elected member of Parliament for Hqll. He
afterwards attended the county election, and
such was the charm of his eloquence on that
occasion, in the large castle area at York,
that the people all cried, "We will have that
little man for our memberl' He was then
one of the gayest of the gay; not an openly
vicious man, but peculiar-for his wit and his
distinction in the fashionable circles. His
wit became innocuous under Christian prin-
ciples. He was said to be the "jOy and
crown of Doncaster races" He went to
paw visit to a relation at Nice, and was
accompanied by the Rev. Isaac Miner, after
wards Dean of Carlisle. Mention was made
of a certain individual who moved in the
same rank, an ecclesiastical gentleman, a
man devoted to his duty. Mr.. W. said, re-
garding him, "that he thought he carried
things too far" to which Mr.. Miner said
he was inclined to think that Mr.. W. would
form different estimate on the subject were
he carefully to peruse the whole of the New
Testament Mr.. Wilberforce replied that he
would take him at his word, and read i
through with pleasure. They were bOtE
Greek scholars, and in their journey tbs5
perused the New Testament together. Tha
single perusal was so blessed to Mr. Wilber
force that he was revOlutionized; he became
new man; and the witty sOngSter, tn
''ioy and crown of Doncaster races, prOvet
the Christian senator, and at length becam
the able advocate for abolishing the slav
trade.

FINISHING THE WORK.

TIE SEvESTY's EXPERIMENTAL CHARTER
The Conference Committee at Albany have
agreed upon the shape in which the charter
Of the Committee Of Seventy shall be passed,
if passed at all. The Senate amendments are
receded from, the Comptroller and President
of the Department of Public Works 90 out and
take their chances of reappointment after the
May election; the Commissioners Of Public
Safety are to be appointed by the Mayor
with the approval Of the Board of
Aldermen, instead of by two of the
Judges Of the Superior Court The charter as
it now stands fastens the experiment Of cumu-
Litive voting on the city and abolshes one of
the best boards in the city-that of the De-
partment of Docks. If the Senate and Assem-
bly, agree to the report of the Committee of
Conference the bill will go in this shape to the
Governor. If he gives it his signature it will
become law, and if it becomes law the
people of New York will in two years time
clamor for its repeal.

The WALL STREET SPECTATORS were in
ecstasies yesterday over report that the
administration at Washington had backed
down on the question of claims for consequent
tial damages and would not insist upon their
admission at the Geneva Conference. 1t seems
that the Cincinnati movement contemplates
opposition to these indirect claims on the
ground that the real sentiment Of the commu-
nifty is against enforcing them 1t would be a
shrewd move of the administration did it fore
see the tendency of public opinion and get the
inside track Of the soreheads after all.

Mr.. Disraeli's Manchester Speech.

On another page of this mornings HERALD
we publish the Speech or at least those por-
tons of it which relate to this country, which
Mr.. Disraeli delivered at Manchester on the Sd
inst The hall in which the ex-Premier spoke
was crowded to excess, and thousands, we are
told, were turned away from the doors, unable
TO gain admittance The speech of the distin-
gushed statesman touched on almost every
prominent topic now attracting the attention
of the British people He may be said to have
boxed the political compass, and with a
will which fondness for the task he
essayed would prompt him to attempt.
The recent attack of Sir Charles
Dixie in the House of Commons on
the extravaganza Of the royal household was
combated by comparing the Civil List Of
England with the cost of running the whole
machinery Of government, State and national,
of the United States OF course Mr.. Disraeli
made out good case for his own side and
republican extravaganza, we are led to believe
from the tory statesman figures, is something
that England should not desire to covet on the
plea that it would prove more economical
Referring 10 the recent diplomatic under

takings of the Gladstone Ministry, and particu-
larry to the Alabama Claims Commission, ne
made fierce onslaught on the laundering IN
competency which, he claims, characterizes the
manner in which the Commissioners trans
acted the business entrusted to them. He
considerately acknowledges that in the United
States there are very clever men whose ability,
acuteness and energy are undisputed, and who
avail themselves largely of commissions ; but
these commissions, he tells us in the same
breath, prove failures, because the government
from which they emanate lis government in
which there is no fountain of honor" This
is very unmistakable language, and cannot
fail to cause surprise when we place this
expression by the side Of a subsequent one,
where Mr.. Disraeli points out that the only
course for England to take under the present
circumstance is ito appeal to the good feeling
and good sense of the United States, and,
stating the difficulty lin relation to the inter-
pretations Of the Washington Treaty., to
invite confidential conference, whether it might
not be removed" The speech, taken alto
gether, will prove sufficiently interesting to
repay attentive perusal.

Political CONFIDENCE GAMES The Chicago
Inter- Ocean administration reviews the sew
eral counts brought against General Grant by
ITS contemporary, the Tribune, and concludes
that "the feeling Of confidence in President
Grant will re-elect him" And that feeling of
confidence does not appear to be any sort of
confidence game either-unles, the game ut
Cincinnati may be 50 regarded But there arc
good many little ''private games" going on
among politicians about these days. some SO
artfully conducted by the political thiinble-
Triggers that it is difficult to tell where the
'little joker is.

or It's officers had anything to do with the
affair, or that he had any associates in ths
transaction. Nevertheless it is to be hoped
that the committee willrecommend some legis-
lation that will effectually prevent these peri
odical Wall street tricks. by which the whole
business of the country is disturbed and
through which the public interests are inju-
nously affected.

The Gladstone Ministry i'm n Minority
Bad Omen.

In the British House of Commons on Tues
day the Gladstone Ministry sustained defeat.
A resolution was introduced by Mr. Henry
Charles Lopes, member for Launcestcn,
bearing upon local taxation. The govern
ment took strong ground-we are not told
whether for or against the resolution but the
result was that when division was called for
the supporters Of the administration were de-
feated by majority of one hundred In or
binary circumstances there would not be in
this defeat anything deserving of passing no
tice But there are many indications that tho
Gladstone Ministry has ceased to command tha
confidence Of the people of the three king
doms, as it did three years ago. Mr.. Disraelrs
speech at Manchester made it plain TO all the
world that the tory gentlemen of England,
after long and impatient waiting, begin to dis
cover possibilities of an early restoration to
place and power and pay and it left little
room to doubt that the tory gentlemen we're
determined that nothing should be wanting ON
their part to mako such resignation as certain
and as early as possible. This defeat of the Min
istry, although on a local question of compara-
lively trifing importance, lends encourage
ment to the opinion that the opposition is
organizing its forces and putting forth its
strength. Mr.. Gladstone, during his tenure.

COOP ADVICE TO THE SoUTH.-The Mont
gomery (Ala.) State Journal mentions the fact
that citizen of Wilcox county has made a
contract to deliver to planters in that county
one hundred and twenty thousand bushels of
corn at one dollar and twenty-five cents n
bushel. As thisc corn will come from the West
it will require fifteen hundred bales of cotton,
at prices now ruling, to pay for it. The Journal
thinks that the planters should prevent this
heavy draft upon the money which cotton
raisers should receive for the staple, by rails
ing their own corn, even if they produce a
little less cotton. This advice is the soundest
that could be given to the planters. 1t has
been urged by the most enlightened Southern
statesmen, and in some instances has been
cordially received and acted upon. But it
should have most widespread acceptance,
and then we should not hear our Southern
planters complain SO frequently of ''hard
times"

To the Voters Of Giles, Lawrence
Wayne and Lewis Counties.

I am an INDEPENDENr candidate
to represent this district in the Sen
atorial branch of the next General
Assembly. @
Being unable to see or address
you all personally, I take this mode
Of informing you what my platform
is.
If elected I shall introduce and
insist upon the following measures:
l. The repeal Of the1 allowing
10 per cent. interest. Since the
passage of the law land has fallen
20 to 90 percent. Not asmill, man
ufactory or turnpike has been built
in this section, and money grows
scarcer and scarcer, times harder
and harder. No man or country
ettn-live on money at 10 per cent.
1t will swallow US up unless re-
pealed! Put it at 6 per cent, as it
was, and capitalists will put their
money into lands, mills, manufacto-
ries, pixies, DC, and build up the
country.
2. The passage of q law author
izing Justices of the Peace to try
petit larceny and all misdemean-
ors, and thus stop the ruinous eX-
pense of the public money in pros
ecuting frivolous offenses.
3. The passage Of law to make
offenders work out their fines and
costs instead of keeping them fat
and sleek in Jail to the tune of 60
cents a day.
4. To abolish. District School
Commissioners as a useless piece
of machinery and distribute the
fund among all the children who go
to school three months in the year,
to be ascertained by the reports of
teachers instead of the Commission
ers. Giles county has had for two
years past, and, stu has, $4,000
School Fund in her treasury which
cannot be paid out for want of the
scholastic population" AS the
law stands the School Fund is so
much dead money"
5, To pay the judges only for the
number of ach0le days they actu-
ally hold Court, unless they call
their whole docket and try or regu-
/ larry continue every case thereon,
to be ascertmned by affidavit of tile
Judge or clerk. No arOrk, no pay.
6. To require the County Court
to publish the amount Of all its APP
preparations, and to whom and for
what made.
7. To repeal the law levying
double tax on merchants and re-
quire them to pay the same tax
that other people pay.
Hoping You may sec proper to
support me, I am, respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant
y. SMITHSON.
