RErR1BurIoN.- During the whole of last
Summer and Fall, the Newark Echo pub
lished and edited by Mr.. Benz. L. Butts, OF
this place. waged an incessant, warfare
against "City Hall corruption" and the
growing evil of Sunday desecration, IN the
city of Newark, n. j. Fearless in exposing
frauds perpetrated upon her citizens, by her
honest and pious "City Fathers" he was
sorely prosecuted by these spotless politi-
clans, by several arrests, on charges of libel,
which were never sustained in court. But
the tables have been turned. A grand jury
whose honesty and integrity the wealth OF
the "ringites " failed to contaminate, has
done its duty by indicting nine of It's model
city officials upon charges brought against
them by the Echo, and which at the time,
were, by those who have been indicted, call
cd libelous. The nature of the charges can
be seen in the following from the n. Y.
Tribune of last Monday:
''The Grand Jury of Essex County, n. j.,
which has been in session over nine weeks,
adjourned on Saturday. The rumor that
several indictments had been found against
prominent officials Of Newark drew large
number of people to the Court House. The
first indictment charged Alderman William
Stainsly, Chief of Police Rogers, Street Com
missioner Sullivan, VIM. Dykes, Valentine
Belcher, j. O. Conner, NJ. Shanley, and b
NJ. Shanley with conspiring to defraud the
city in connection with the paving of Spring
feid-avenue. VIM B. Gould, ir., counse
for the accused, pleaded not guilty in theil
behalf. The second Indictment was agains
Alderman Stainsly and ex-Judge Joseph G
Young for conspircy to defraud the city By
buying land in the mouth of streets to bt
opened The third Indictment charges Wm
Stainsly with misconduct as member o
the Common Council. The fourth charge
Joseph G. Young with misconduct whi
acting as Commissioner to assess benefits TO
street openings Mr. Gould pleaded no
guilty to each of these charges. In the frs
two indictments the parties were required t.
give $40, 600 bail each, and in the last tw
81, 900 each. These cases will be tried be

particular allegation against the fitness of NJ
Slocum for the position, who was re-appointo4
for second term of four years only fsx
months ago, nor is word uttered as 10 tbo
soundness of his republcanism. 1t is aIecoS
however, that Slocum was not the choice os
the people, and that it was understood tb,.
Scranton was to have the appointment BY II.

week ago alleged emphatically that its Edito,

article already referred to predicates much
upon its standing as sae only or leading Re-

SENATOR SIMMER.

Death is again busy with our great men.
Il is but week since we announced and
commented upon the death of ex-President
Fillmore, and now the country is bowed in
grief over the death of another who has oc-
cuped large srace 10 the history of the
country and in the affections of its people.
Senator Sumner is dead Ripe in experience,
ripe in all that makes man great in the eyes
Of nation, ripe in his love of liberty not tor
himself alone, ripe in scholarly wisdom and
true craftsmanship, at time whcn he could
least be spared and in years which but better
fitted him for the station which he had SC
long honored he gathered the drapery of hi:
couch around him" and entered upon the
Journey to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns followed by the
regrets and tears of the nation.
Tn his career in the Senate, Senator Sum.
ncr has proved himself more than worthy
successor of even the great Webster. The
records of the last twenty years prove him tC
have had but one object in view, and that
the noble one of securing the greatest pos
sible good for his country In his every act
from his advocacy Of the freedom Of the
Slave down to his latest vote, this was plainly
apparent Men may have differed with him
and men may have hated him for the sup
posed extremity of his views and methods
hut no one for a moment doubted his honesty,
or believed but that his every act was promp-
ted by the honest convictions of his large
hear; and to-day those who once despised
him are most earnest in their praises Of the
man and their regrets that he was so carly
and so suddenly cut from his usefulness here.
But he has gone. Man proposes but Coo
iisposes, and we can but bow in meek sub
mission to that Allwisc Power, which for
some good purpose, doubtless, has seen fiji
;hus to affiict us.
Senator Sumner talents and wisdom and
experience were the gloried property of the
whole country, and it is meet that the whole
country should mourn his death.

Incompetence to meet creditabb the require

EDITOR JEFFERsoNIAN.-Dear SIR =
Please allow me, through your columns, to
express my profound gratitude to the ''Giver
of all good" and the people of this charge !:
first, for the great prosperity which has at
tended our labors during the conference year
now about closing; and, secondly, for the
uniform kindness, myself, and family, have
received from all classes of the people. As
to the first, permit me to state, that the
religious interests of the charge, have been
very greatly advanced. Our number has
been more than doubled including an outlay
ing appointment at the school house, on the
north and south turnpike, one mile above
Forks Station, where a society of some
TONERS has been found Our financial con-
dition, is also, remarkably healthy, consider
ing the recent monetary troubles, and the
very unfavorabe winter we have had for
numbering Your readers would naturally
conclude that, in view of the almost utter
stagnation in the business Of this locality,
there would be corresponding falling of,
or depreciation in the financial department
of the church. But such is not the case,
my salary, (sS00.OO) will be paid IN full, if
not a little beyond, in view of the help affor-
ded by the society at the school house. Our
conference collections, in the aggregate, will
be in advance of those reported last year.
But now, sir, have something better yet to
tell you, in relation to this department of
our operations. Notwithstanding the extreme
depression of the money market, and the
consequent stagnation in the business of this
community, the people made their usual an
nual visit to the parsonage, january 22d,
in the evening, and gave US additional evi-
dence of their kind regards, in the favor of a
donation supper, the proceeds Of which ag-
grcgated the handsome some Of eighty
dollars and seventy-four cents, (SSO.74 }
This was done, chiefly, by the people in, and
adjacent to the village Of Tobyhanna, for the
roads, at that time, were almost impossible.
But you are ready to say, was not that
enough" ?" The people did not think so, at
any rate and hence, about the middle Of
February, we were invited, by the congrega-
ton of the new appointment at the schoo
house, to sit down with them to second
delicious donation supper, given at the house
of Mr. Lew Smith, at Forks Station, and
from which thirty-seven dollars and fifty
cents, (s37.5o) were realized, making sum
total of one hundred and eighty dollars ana
t,centyJor cents, from the two.
And yet the people say, ''they did Mt try
much this time" Isn't this pretty gooc
showing? When l came to the charge last
spring, | could not find forty persons, who
made profession of religion-certainly moi
forty -fye-but now we have forty-fve in full
membership, and forty seren probationers
In conclusion, | repeat, [ am profoundly
grateful.to all the people, for their repeated
evidences of love and respect for myself anC
family; and most devoutly pray, that these
pleasing relations may continue during al
my sojourn with them.

in the habit of almost nightly entering the
school house, and from indications, play
cards and befoul the floor with peols o.

perpetrators, are no doubt members of the
gangs who, in the early part of the evening
infest our street corners and insult passersby
with obscene remarks and ribald jokes.
