The following, which appeared in the
proceedings of the House of Representa-
tives one day last week, ,confers more hon
or upon the American Congress than any
other thing done during the entire ses-
sion:
Mr. Orth, Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, reported the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted with
out dissent
WHEREAS, War is at all times destruc-
pie, demoralizing in its tendencies, and
at variance with an enlightened public
sentiment; and,
Whereas, Differ ences between Nations
should, in the interest of humanity and
fraternity, be adjusted, if possible, by in
ternational arbitration therefore
Resolved, That the people of the United
States, being devoted to the policy of
peace with all mankind, enjoying it's
blessings and hoping for Its permanence
and its universal adoption, hereby,
through their representatives in Con-
gress, recommend such arbitration as a
national substitute for war; and they
further recommend to the. treaty-malx1ng
power of the Government to provide, if
practicable, that hereafter. in treaties
made between the United States and
foreign Powers, war shall not be declared
by either of the contracting parties
against the other, until efforts shall have
been made to adjust all alleged causes
of difficulty by impartial arbitration"

L
Allow me, friend Mackley, to make a
few remarks by way of criticism upon
your Random Thoughts in the issue of
June H.
To my mind the whole thing has an
inkling of materialism, which is worse
than Calvinism l am far from exclaim-
ing, like some bigoted minds, that
phrenology is all humbug, No, 1 be-
lieve it is a science, and that much ben
eft can be derived from its study. But
it is dangerous science for the young
to study, for to mind not well imbued
with the doctrines of the bible it has a
tendency to materialism. Now your ar
ticle drifts little that way; for instance
you say "God does not now change his
laws, work miracles, and change mems
natures instantaneously." AS the term
mature" is so broad l cannot pronounce
it heterodox. Now it would satisfy me
much if you would define your position
by replying to the following interroga
tions, viz:
l. What do you understand by regen,
Grafton as taught in the bible? See
I. Peter, I % John, III 3 II. Cor. V, II
2 Is this regeneration brought abou
gradually, or instantaneously
5. Is piety merely the result of educa
ton? If so, at what point of mental Of
moral development does a man become
Christian, child of God and heir O.

The Cincinnati Gazette is sometimes
against the liquor traffic, but it joins
hands with the liquor fellows on the
license question. 1t says
THE following forms would present
the real question:
The General Assembly may lay a
special or discriminating tax on sellers
or sales of Intoxicating liquors.
The General Assembly shall not lay
any special or discriminating tax on the
sellers or sales of Intoxicating liquors.
This is the real question that falsely
is presented in the "for license" and
against license submission
Now let US put it as the liquor sellers
and drinkers view it, thus
The General Assembly may make the
liquor traffic legal and respectable.
The General Assembly shall not make
the liquor traffic legal and respectable
VIII any real, honest friend of temper
ance hesitate how he will vote ?

years observation, l will proceed to
answer the three questions.
/. l understand by regeneration as
taught in the Bible, fixed resolution to
lead pure life-a life as near Ike that
of Christ as possible, and striet carrying
oist Of that resolution Without The latter,
would not give snap Of the finger for
your regeneration.
?. Regeneration may be either instanta-
neous or gradual. In majority of cases
l think it is gradual, and in such cases it
is more apt to be permanent.
g. Piety is partly the result of eduea-
ton, and partly the result of the phys
ical structure. especially of the brain.
Take a well developed child, the de-
seendant of a race of Christian parents,
and bring it up in community where
all are Christians, (if such thing were
possible. and it would al,oays be Chris
tian. There would be no period in its
life when it would require change OF
heart, or to be regenerated, OF born
again. No revival meetings. or mourners
benches will be necessary then.
Do not misunderstood me. This is
not the work of man, unaided by the
Spirit of God Every thing which /;
good in man, is part of the Deity You
take candle, and it gives no light
Touch it to the flaming lamp and it a
once gives a light-not so brilliant a
the lamp, but smaller fame of the SAM
nature The soul of man is a part o
Deity. The good in that soul. (you ma!
appropriately call it the Spirit of God,
strives for the mastery. If obeyed t.
the end, the man is Christian Blu
he must obey the promptings Of tina
Spirit, and work ont his salvation witt
fear and trembling And if he has sucl
head as some 1 have mentioned, h
has good cause to fear of final success:
and to tremble when he contemplate
the results of failure
The foregoing was written Sunda
, morning, and afterwards went to church
The preacher took for his text the lot
verse of the third chapter of John. I
the course of his sermon he said, as
understood him, that by faith alone ar
P we saved, and if we depend for salvatio

q fully the second chapter of the book {

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.


Ny old friend W. R. Evans, asks me
two or three questions. The weather is
too warm to go into a theological dis
cussion, but will briefly reply, as L be-
Ieve he is honestly seeking the truth.
One great error into which too many
fall, is caused by taking isolated passages,
to prove that which we desire to have
established 1 heard once of one of
these critics who told a man that he
could prove from Scripture that he ought
to commit suicide OF course this was
disputed. But it was proven. He first
quoted the passage where Judas went
and hanged himself And then the pas
sage which says, go thou and do like
wise" Another said that he could prove
that the man to whom he was talking G
was a ID liar. He also succeeded.
Said he, ''You do not believe that can
do this, do you? ?" Of course l do not,
was the reply "But, said the other,
Hdoes not the Bible say that he that be-
not also say let God be true, and every
man liar? You do not believe, there
fore you are damned. And as every man
5 is a liar, l have proven my point" Many
years ago the women had fashion of
winding their hair into a great knot like
sugar loaf upon the top of their heads.
A certain preacher thought this was sin
full, and he preached against it, and told
his congregation that he would take for
his text the following command made
by Christ; "Top-knot, come down"
There was much reading of the four
Gospels during the next week, to find
the text. But it is there, in the passage
which speaks of the destruction OF Jeru-
salem, and the end of the world. Let
him that is on the house (top not come
DOWN to take that which is in his
house" &c.
We must construe the Scriptures like
=, -ustrue a mans character. Take
the wbola of it together.
Taking this c" c.."iterion by which to con-
strue the Bible, and Ia. tnaV ooiis y "CUion

"Maclley thinks it is all right that the
iron manufacturers of this district should
have an organization, and meet and con-
suit as to the best manner of advancing
the iron business. Bptin his eyes it is
an objectionable sin for the farmers to
do likewise. Where is a difference in
the rights, privileges and duties of the
respective classes p ViHton Record.
When did we ever say anything about
an organization of the iron manufac-
turers? To the last question we answer,
none If farmers have a right to fix the
charges for freight on railroads, then iron
manufacturers, and laborers at the
furnaces, and on the farms, and in the
shops, have an equal right to fix the
price of grain, -four and meat. Why
not2 And if the grangers are right, the
striking miners are doing more than
Gods service when they attempt to fix
the price which operators shall pay for
digging coal.
But the folly and rascality of the
grange usurpation will soon be apparent
to all men.

A most horrible murder was committe,

A most horrible murder was committed
a couple of miles from Lawrenceburg,
Indiana, last week. There was family
named Bradley, very poor people, dwell
ing in a small cabin. The family con-
sisted of Bradley, his wife, and four
children. Bradley was away from home,
at work Mrs. Bradley and the Oldest
two of the children were murdered with
an AK A babe and child three years
of age were not killed, but the infant
was wounded. 1t is supposed that an
attempt to commit rape had led to the
murder

"The present Congress has also made
an excellent record. While there are
bad men there, the majority has kept

ditionally repealed and no measure has

zette. Internationally repealedl' And

CONGRESS-.
murder,

We had hoped to be able this week to
record the adjournment of Congress, but
that is denied us. We had hopes that
the present session would end in some
good work, but we now doubt it. The
session was extended until four o'clock
Tuesday, and we go to press Wednesday
morning, and we have nothing later than
Mondays proceedings, found in the daily
papers of Tuesday.
Congress got some kind of a currency
bill through, and the President signed it.
An important change in the postal
laws was on hand, and was being tinkered
by conference committees of the two
Houses It is a good measure, and is
very nearly the same which we advo-
Gated year or two ago. 1t requires the
postage on newspapers to be paid by the
publishers in advance at the rate of per-
haps two cents per pound, and permits
papers to pass through the mails free in
the county where published. This is
equitable and just, and will satisfy all
reasonable publishers. The daily papers,
and weeklies in large cities howl fear
fully as they do at every measure which
does not put money into the pockets of
their proprietors. We will know next
week whether this important measure
shall have become law.
We regret that the Civil Rights bill
has probably gone over. Last week an
effort was made to take it up, but as it
took majority of two thirds to get it
before the House in the position in VIII ch
it was placed, it lacked fourteen
votes of having the requisite num-
Der. And these fourteen were all
Republicans, every Democrat, of course,
voting against giving the negro justice.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that Mr..
Bundy was not one of the recreant four
teen.
We do not know what has been the
fate of the played out civil service fool
cry. The appropriation to carry on this
exploded humbug was once defeated
but we think it was again brought up in
some shape.

Goaheadativenes is in the very air we
breathe, and We all would rather wear
out than rust out Germans have not in
vented any telegraphs, nor steamboats,,
nor sewing machines, nor reapers and
mowers. They are fifty years behind the
times in all modern comforts and con-
viences But what of that2 They are
/ the dearest, dullest, one ideadest, de-
| lightfulest old souls in the world, and
know how to get every drop of pleasure
/ out of life there is in it. You go down
| into one of their ruts with them, and
don't stand where they can stumble
against you, and they are as amiable, and
pleasant, and benignant as possible, and
will tell you more about that particular
rut than you ever dreamed of. But il
you " to dig them out it bursts dread
fully Then transplant them into new
country, where the path is pretty broad
and they breathe a free air that is not
ladened with musty tradition and impe-
rial rule, and they wabble and roll round
like so many owls in the sunlight. and
even imagine that they can comprehend
and manage the new state of affairs bet
ter than those born and bred to it. -
