BAPTIST STATE CoNvENTIoN.-fbe Baptists
held their annual gathering at Rutland last
week, the meeting closing on Thursday
The late erection OLA large and commodious
church in that village was matter of con.
graduation to those who met there and
enjoyed the convenences of the new edlfice.
The Convention was earnest and hopeful
Of meeting the large demands for Christian
work that the Baptist Church is called on to
supply. The Church is now devoting great
attention to the work of training colored
preachers and teachers for work in the South.
ern States and in Africa. The claims OF
various educational movements originating
in this denomination we're brought before
the convention, and certainly the attempt to
secure successful school in this State is
meeting with the most abundant success.
The Seminary to be located at Saxton's river
will start under the most favorable auspices.
The convention was evidently earnestly in
favor of an educated ministry TO combat the
attacks now being made upon the foundations
Of the Christian religion.
The following delegates to other religious
bodies were appointed Rev. NJ. g. Smith,
to the Free Will Baptist Yearly Meeting
Rev. N. N. Glazier, to the Annual Convention
of Congregationalists Rev. A. Norcross, to
the Vermont Methodist Conference; Rev. u.
aibbard. to the Baptist Convention of Cana
da, with power to appoint substitutes.

TIL e Chapman Monument.

The last legislature appropriated six hum
dred dollars to erect a monument to the
memory of Hon. Nathaniel Chapman. This
monument was dedicated in Tinmouth on
Friday last. The monument had been erect
ed on the top OF a commanding hill upon
spot to which the remains of Judge Chip
man have been recently removed.
A large concourse of people assembled on
Friday and the exercises of the day began
with dinner, and tn GREATER Hon. Barnes
Frisbie presented statement on the part of
the builders to Judge Wheeler, who was ap-
pointed by Gov. Converse, in the necessary
absence of the Governor. to preside. Judge
Wheeler, on the part of the State, accepted
the work, aud Hon. 4. P. Walton of this
place then delivered tho dedicatory address.
which, on account of it's historical value,
we give in full on the outside of this week g
FREEMAN.
Mr.. Walton was followed by Hon. Q. W..
Willard in a brief and pertinent address
Letters from Hon. L. P. Poland and others
were read, and few remarks were made by
Hou. D. E. Nicholson of Rutland. One of
the pleasant features of the occasion was the
introduction to the audience of Mrs. Hurl-
burt of Michigan, a gr ,nd-daughter of Jud &c
Chapman. She and her little boy of only
seventeen months were enthusiastically re-
ceived by those who had gathered to do hon
or to their ancestor.
The monument itself is sixteen feet in
height, and in the most perfect proportion
The appropriation of six hundred dollars was
just used up in placing it where it stands
although the actual cost was probably more
than one thousand dollars. The marble
used in this monument was from the cele
brated light mourning vein of the Suther
land Falls Marble Company, and was fur
nished much below the regular price in order
that while the appropriation was not exceed
ed, the monument should he frst-cass. Th.
work was done at the Oliver Marble anC
Monumental Works of Rutland.

The Back Pay Question.

Dear Free Press:
One of your numbers overlook me at Cob

appropriation of March Sd, 1873, to my attl-
tude respecting the same, and TO tie state OF
the law of unexpended appropriations.
lopposed the salary affair all in my pow
er, and in earnest. Before the bill was
signed 1 freely expressed the hope in the
quarter where thought it might be consld-
cred, that the President would veto it. Three
Ut four days after, the accounting officer OF
the Senate settl. my pay account, excluding,
by my direction, all increase and paying me
On the old law solely for it did not appear
to me that could properly take more than
the prior law gave. This as under. TODD, ,
lett the money in the treasury. The new
law having made me creditor of the govern
ment in q respect in which did not choose
to be one, the simplest and most consistent
course seemed to be, to refuse to take the
money. knew that l should have the legar
power to reconsider and draw the money
within the time limited for lapsed appro-
priations but was not greatly 10 tear OF the
temptation, and l did not wish to exercise
any ownership over it whatever. Therefore,
the direction was given not to bring it into
my account at all. This, also, learn, was
the course of the Senators from Ohio, and
perhaps others.
Your paragraph holds. however. 'h't the
money is mine in law, and that some aifrma-
tioe act is needful liz order to give the treas
ury the benefit of it. you are right,
shall perform the act but think YOU are
not. My view was at the time, and still is,
what have stated, and for this reason The
law was an appropriation of money for GER
tain purposes, which authorized the treasury
officers to pay it out. The money still be-
ionged to the Treasury. Il was not the pro-
perty OF the persons to be benefited until it

Civil SERvIcE ExAMINATIoNs.-The new
rules for regulating the civil service of the
United States group the seVe raj States and
Territories into five divisions for the purpose
OF bringing ex aminations within the reach of
all applicants. The first district embraces
TIE States of Maine, New Hampshire, Mass
achusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode
leland and New York; and the examinations
therein shall be held alternately at the city
of New York and the city Of Boston, begin
Ding in New York about the middle of De-
tober The rules controlling the method OF
application have already been published, and
doub tless can be obtained by a who wish
them of the United States Civil Service Com
| mission at Washington. At first view they
appear rather complicated, and it has been
suggested that whoever can show by an ex-
am nation that he understands them ought
TO be regarded as entitled ID an appoint
ment. All this, however, concerns the ad-
ninistrators of the system, while what Is
marked out for each applicant is really sim
pie enough. if he can only do it.
We are glad to see that, by this plan OF
| localizing the examinations, another step Is
taken in the cause of civil service reform.
Everything now depends upon the earnestness
Jf the President in the matter during the
|
Party conventions may recommend the re-
form in the best style of resolves, but, neces-
sarily. they cannot be expected to push for
ward the work with muca zeal. When the
cause of peace receives its strongest impulse
| 10 military circles, or manufacturers enter
with enthusiasm into the id "a of free trad,
we may expect partisans TO warmly advocate
the filing OF large proportion of Offices on
| nrinciples independeut of party. w hatever
earnestness there is in political quarters in
favot Of the movement is due to the honest
convictions and good sense of the American
| people triumphing over narrow partisan in-
auences. Fur reasons similar to the above
quite as little can be expected of Congress,
TOT the immediate effect of adopting an ade-
lquate civil service system is to cu' off from
the ENJOYMENT of the members sort of brok-
erage in a large class of off ,es, which they
have valued as means of securing their OWL
re- electlOn. although the exerc Sc Of Is IN
most cases an abuse as little profitable IL
them as bent fetal to the public. The Presl
! dent alone, then. is in a position to give th'
reform q substantial foOtnOid, although hi
cannot advance far without the at lleast for
NAL cooperation Of Congress. But he Is do
og what be can, with the hearty support
apparently Of the Treasury Department.
All sorts CT obsta Giles btset the attempt
from inexperience aud indiscretion within
the range of those who are applying the sys
ten, AS we'll as from opposition without; bu
we are not devoid of faith that enough O
t good result will be attained within shor
time to demonstrate the entire feasibility c
the reform and to insure its prosecution

The Evangelical Alliance.

The gathering of great number of Pro-
testant Dlvines in New York on the Fad,
was an event of more than ordinary signi6-
c,nce The Alliance to which this meeting
owes it's existence was organic ed in 1S46 By
large number of delegates from many
countries. The common platform on whic b
it was established embraces the insp.ra tion
of the Bible; right and duty of private
judgment the Unity of the Godhead and
trinity of the persons therein; the utter
depravity of human nature, owing I tt
Ad .m's fall; the incarnation of the Saviour
his atonement and mediatorial intercesslou
Justification by faith; work of the Spirit il
conversion Of the inner; the INN ,rsality of
the soul, resurrection OF the body, and jldg-
nent OF eterpal blessadness to the righteous
md eternal punishment of the wicked the
and the sacred character of Bipsis IN and the
LORDS Supper.
The present gathering was to have taker
place three years ago, but the French and
German war prevented. Tnis is the fiftt
| General Conference of the Alliance, the pre-
vious ones having been at Paris in 1855
Berlin in 1857. Geneva IN 1860 and Amster
lam in 1867. The Conference number
among its delegates, Presbyterians, Baptists
| Episcopalians, Methodists, Lut herans, Re
formers. Wesleyaus, Congregationalists ant
| Free Churchmen from England. Ireland, Scot
land, Canada, Germany. France, Spain
switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Russia
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Turkey Greece
Italy and Iodia.
Its work is in addresses. reports and til
like upon matters of gener al interest to th
Christian Church.
hemeesings are presided over by Docto
Woolsey of Yale, and many of the divine
IN attendance are among the most eminen
in the world. A report of their proceeding
is impossible as their meetings are crowde'
with rep ,rts to such an extent that tn
names Of the subjects alone would use
column. We shall look with interest 70
the general result of their deliberations.
The gathering can hardly spen1 its ener
sies in season of brotherly congratulatiol
or in preparing for assaults upon the Catho
lie Church and fulfill its mission. The SEES
sions of the Alliance will show whether j
realizes that the contest for the next centur
will be such that Catholic, Greek, Evangeli
Cal and Liberal will be really on the sam
side of the great dividing line.
