Trasao Between ChurChes.

A curious TRANSACTION was recently Consnnl-
mated in Charleston, s. &. The Baptisls Of
that cilv owned a fine church edfice worth
$1,000 but being hard up offered II to the
Mcihodisls for $4,000. The MelhOdiAlaeaGeT-
" grabbed at the opportunity. Subsequently
the Baptists repented Of their hasy offer, and
wanted to withdraw It but the MeIhodists re-
fused, threatened damages. and 'eOmpelled q
lrAnsler of the property. ThereuPon the BaF-
lists got indignant, and their organ, The Church
Union, having quoted the details, add: I'm
regard to all which We have simply to say that
to purchase for $4,000 what was worth $60, 600
was unfair; to force the bargain, when thelOseTs
wished to Iecede was unkind; and TO grab Ia
this way from one denomination for another
was unchristian3 The Methodls's, however
looked at il in di6erent light. Bishop Haven
describing the Transaction, says; "Didn't the

The Philadelphia Press promptly dis
poses of the bugbear Imitation" Itsays
the hard-money advocates should be con-
WINGED by this time that il is impossible to
force resumption through process of con-
traction which has stopped half the mills,
FORCES, and looms in the land, and blocked
the wheels of trade while the country
is yet full of wealth. That this talk
of Imitation is senseless one, in
tended to frighten the minimizing, is evil
dent from tho fact that England, with
onc-fourth less population than this coun.
try, has almost as much money in cir
culation. Tho total currency Of the Uni
ted States to be used by forty millions Of
people is only seven hundred millions,
while England has six hundred and fifty
millions of dollars for her thirty millions
of people. If our currency is inflated.
what must that of England be? Besides,
in compact population, money circu.
lates more freely than over extended
areas of territory, and less bulk compare
lively is needed. A dollar in London eff
fects ten exchanges where one is effected
by it in the more sparsely-settled portion:
of the country. All our evils come from
contraction--not imitation. a
