is known as the Enforcement Act, unde T

On Christmas night CT 1871, the writer
of this article sat beside Hornc" Greeley
Mt Steinwaw,Elall, New York City, where
was being given Handels great Grafton OF
"The Messiah" During the major part OF
the performance he sat apparently lost in
| thought, if not in doze, and seemingly
oblivious TO all that was going on. But
when Miss Kellogg appeared and sang
the great soprano solo, 81 know that my
Redcemer liveih,n he raised up, his face
was sufiused with joy, his bright eye was
dimmed with tear, and lie listened with
that steady and intense earnestuess so Pc
cuiar to him when interested. when II
was finished no hands more loudly mp.
plauded than his. no face bcamed forth
such great satisfaction, and he murmured
to himself those grandest Of all words OF
the world, 81 know that my Redeemer
livetb." Then again came the absent pre-
occupied look, nor did it change until MISS
Sterling sang the contralto rccitauVe,
" Then shall come to pass that which is
written death shall be swallowed up IN
victory when the same joyous look OF
satisfaction lighted up the face no one
could look upon and not love.
A few days ago he turned YEARLY upon
his bed of pain and the old light came
back rs he muttercd, a. know that my ne
deemer liveth,' few hours more and 1t
is done" Death was swallowed up in VIC
tory-the victory of lifetime, fighting
for the right over wrong; for truth over
error; for reason over prejudice; for pence
and love over hs:c--the victory OF wei,

We do net think any other paper in tho
country hns taken notice Of the arrival
and presence in this country OF six Rus
sian Mennonites, who are delegation
representing fotty thousand Mennonites
in their native country, proposing to seek
else where, in body, the religious liberty
denied them at home. These six came TO
this country few months ago, and hav-
ing letters of introduction to DR.. Samuel
Young, then Of Quakerstown, now OF TINS
city, they called oil him at the former
place and took counsel relative to their
future movements.
The members of the delegation are men
of education and ability, and can speak
almost any of tho European languages ex-
cent English, so that il was found great
convenience on their part that the German
is so generally spoken and understood In
the United States. After leaving Quakers-
town the Mennonite committee proceeded
west and found the climate and lard they
desired in Minnesota. They are now in
Washington endeavoring to negotiate ar
rangemcnts with our government, and II
successful will return home and lead into
American citizenship o colony of forty
thousand CT the most thrifty and desirable
yeople a nation can gain or lose. This
project has been talked of seriously by the
Russian Mennonites ever since the memo
rial of the Evangelical Alliance failed TO
obtain for them from the Gar Alexander
the relief their cor sciences craved IN the
matter of religion. The cards containing
The names of these six forerunners VIII be
accessible to us in few days, and previ-
GUS to our getting them we VIII not at

This degradation OF the South Is the
work of the North. The N. Y. Tribune
with truth and candor says:
"The South is not responsible for War
moth, nor Kellogg, nor Casey, nor Pack
ard, nor Spencer, nor Patterson, nor worm
iurton. The creatures who buy aud sell
aud judges, and ei.cto on ON
GERS, aud supervisors, are the rulers whom
we have imposed upon our conquered prov
ipces. If fouisiana had been prevented
from casting her vote for President and
is distracted by two legislatures aud two
sets Of legislative ofhcers; IL Alabama has
two legislatures and rival Senators at
il Arkansas Is threatened
With similar divisions, and in South Caro-
lima the Sonatorship has been bought in
open market, and the purchaser is now
irving to buy the Supreme Court also,-it
Is not the Sonlh that must he held d.
reclly accountable for such cntrages. She
is the sufferer, but the disgrace is ours"
