SEIZURES DURING THE WAR.-Gazaway B.
Lamar, through Ward, Jones Il Whitehead, his
attorneys, has begun, in the United States Cir
cult Court, an action against Hugh McCulloch
as Secretary of the Treasury, to recover the
value of 5Is bales Of Upland cotton which, as is
alleged, were unlawfully seized and sold by the
defendant IN October, 1866. Mr.. McCuliOch
% nited States District Attorney Bliss, after
pleading the general issue, interposes several
special pleas, among which are these: That the
cotton IN question was seized "a abandoned pro
perty in Georgia; thatit was taken possession of
IN obedlence TO laws of Congress and the Presi-
dents Proclamation; and that, therefore, the
secretary of the Treasury cannot be held per-
-onslly responsible for anything that was done
"a the premises. The Importing and Exporting
Company Of Georgia has also begun, by the
same attorneys, an action to recover from Mr.
IcCulloch the value of l ,4Gl bales of Upland
cotton Mr. Bliss is the attorney for the de-
'ense, and the pleadings in the case are almost
Identical with those in Lamar's case. Several
cases involving the same questions of law have
recently been tried In the United States Circuit
Court, every one of which has been decided in
favor OF the plaintif.-N Y. Tribune.

The mercantile agency of Dun, Bar

OF failures in the United States during
tie last four years, which is not without
interest. The total failures in 1870
reached 1851, with liabilities nggregat.
ing $SS,242000. In 1871, 2,9l5 failures,
and liabilities reaching $50, 252,000 show
ing a decreasc in the number Of 636, and
in liabilities of $2,990000. For the year
1872, the total number Of failures reach
ed 1869, an increase Of 1859 over those
orlS7l, with the total liabilities placed at
$l2l056,000, an excess over 1871 Of $685.
$4,000. For the year 1873 we find the
excess still greater, reaching 5,lS3 fail
ures, with liabilities amounting to $685.
10000, being an increase in the num-
Der over those of 1872, of LII, and of
liabilities, $l07 ,443,000 Ii there is any
lesson at all to be derived from these
figures IL is that, as people, we are
living beyond our means, and they also
demonstrate the pernicious effects of tho
credit system, and that the American
system of doing business does not i'm
prove with the lapse o! years, nor keep
pace with other improved systoms Of

Anti-Monopoly Convention will be

A Disouisition ON Hell.

From Sermon by Prof Swing, of Chicago.l
II is only human religion such as that
Of Budha, or Thor or Jupiter, that may.
fear the growth 6flntelllgorce, and int.
may fade as the light Of reason dawns
but of a religion from God, given by in
spiration, the first distinguishing prin.
ciple must DO that IL will reveal its rea.
condolences as fast as man unfolds his
own intelligence, and still become moro
glorious where there is The most culture.
The medieval Christianity having been
dis6gured by ignorance and supcrsti.
ton, the subsequent growth OF religion
had to express itself In inildelty. Whcn
a Dante describes hell 10 mankind, and
his irighllnl pictures become the thcolo-
gy Of the church, sweeping through Ro-.
manism over into Professionalism until
Edwards says God will dash the siGrer
down on hcll's floor and stamp upon
him, ,ken intldclity must follow, not
simply to save man from such horrors,
but TO rescue Gods blessed name from
such unspeakabe iniamy. In such hell
az Dantcs, il Is not man that ID punish
edit is God that Is destroyed. From
such ideas we must fly to more rea-
sonable religion, carrying the cross aud
our holy faith away from such degra-
dation, We must indeed. separate for.
ever the righteous and tho wicked; but,
as the druukard Is punished in this
world, and as The murderer accepts Of
his arrest without blaming God, as tho
soul feels ito own wickedness and does
not reproach .he Creator, An tho lost
world Ia q place, not where God 10 soen
as cruel monster, but where the BIZ.
man free will stands forth in all lis di-
vine powers, aud reveals solf.punish.
ment over which we can almost imagine
the Heavenly Father himself 10 shed
tears. Such is the perdition OF roasoti.-.'
q place not where the Saviour and God
become an inqnisition, but where tho
sinners own will aud own heart have
woven themselves garments OF perpct.
ual sackcoth, and where the tears Of
sorrow fall not from malicious decree
Of God, passed from e,eruiiy, but fall
out OF tho sinners own wrelchcd soul
and misspent life Thus over almost
every idea OF tho Christian religion,
there is lying drapory OF reason fresh.
from tho God OF infinite wisdom, and
beautiful to man, the image of the ra-
tional God.
