IT looks as though the scheme of Cen
trail American confederation would prove sue
cessful, there being general inclination to
adopt the basis of union proposed by Guate-
mala. The plan is as follows:
l. That the five republics should maintain
their independence and the integrity of Cen
trail American territory.
2. That they should also preserve the dem
ocratic form of government and its correspond
ing liberal institutions.
8. That peace ought to be main tained be-
tween the five republics, and in the event of
internal disputes pacific means should be es-
tablished for the settlement of them.
4. The diplomatic and consular representa-.
tion abroad ought to be uniform.
8. That the five republics should unite when
ever any of them has claim against foreign
power.
6. That they ought also to unite in making
contracts for steamship lines and telegraphs
for the purchase Of coast guard ships, and for
any other enterprise of mutual utility.
Z. That the five republics ought to be united
6y roads and telegraphs.
s. A postal convention ou ght to be held to
facilitate all kinds of correspondence in way
that would be safe and inexpensive.
8. International rights ought TO be uniform
and treaties with foreign nations equalzed.
10. That in the five republics the same civil,
penal, commercial and custom-house laws
ought to rule for exports, imports and weights
and measures
IL. That public instruction should be or
ganized in the same manner in all of them, and
aiding each other in the matter of text books,
etc., etc.
IL. That literary and professional titles be
recognized in all the five republics without any
other requirement than the proofs of their au-
thenticity.
13. That the sons Of these republics in any
one of them have the rights of citizenship;
and
IA. That the extraditon of criminals in
clude greater number of criminals than that
established in treaties with foreign nations

The New York Nation, summing up the
evidence in the "Thomas plof' story of the
Mosel explosion, inclines to the theory that
the extraordinary statement is the fabrication
of crazy mind.
Kerr has dried up the fountain of humor
in the House. Proctor Knott, as chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, will feel the ne
cessity of maintaining becoming solemnity
OF manner, and they say Sam Cox is too hard
to crack any jokes this session.-Cincinnat
Gazette.
The Republicans would have no difficulty
in New Hampshire, and would carry the
state easily in every election if there were not
from 5000 to 10000 of them who organize as
'prohibitionists" and operate as assistant
Democrats. 1t is not improbable that the
whole number of this sort will be consdera-
bly, reduced in the coming election. Why
there should be any such in that state at the
present time it is impossible to understand.
They have the prohibitory law; but they did
not get it from the Democrats. Nevertheless
they have worked for several years in aid of
the Democrats, voting against the Republican
candidates for the council, Senate and House
of Representatives; and, in return, they have
got, among other things, that most villainous
Democratic reconstruction of the courts
which try cases arising under that law. This
habit of assisting the Democrats in the name
of the prohibitory law, is kind of lunacy I;
durable in some cases, and incurable in 9TH
ers.-Worcester Spy.

st. JOhnSbury.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PREss:-I have
been very much interested in the description of
st. Johnsbury, VT, by a correspondent of the
PRESS. In 1874 the eminent English writer,
Mr.. Hepworth Dixon was employed by the
four great newspapers-the Standard the Tele-
graph of London, the Leeds Mercury and the
Manchester Examiner. to make tour in this
country and send letters to them, which were
published simultaneously by all of them. One
of these letters was occupied entirely by mat
ters in st. Johnsbury, to which your correspon-
dent has not alluded. Mr.. Dixon made spec
ial journey to that pretty town. and his letter
describing it went the rounds of the British
press and attracted great attention. N. ID.
[If we remember rightly, the letter to which
reference is made, was devoted to the morals OF
the town and particularly its remarkable free
dom from the baneful effects intemperance To
the credit of that model town, no drdnkard-
maker can set up his busdess in st. Johnsbury
simply because public opinion and the infu-
ence of the leading men are hostile to the traf-
fic. None but the most disreputable would
attempt to sell intoxicating liquors in that
town; and public opinion is so decided that
those who would patronize place kept by a
disreputabe man would lose cast in society,"

REV. GEORGE E. ADAMs.-Rev. George
E. Adams who died in Orange, N. j., Christ
mas, was native of Bangor, where he was
born in 1891. Forsforty years he was pastor
of the Congregational church in Brunswick,
where he was greatly beloved and universally
respected. He removed to Orange several
years ago, and on the formation of Trinity
Congregational church, accepted the pastor
ate for five years, which period expired last
autumn. DR.. Adams was soon after attacked
with an acute malady which confined him to
his house until few weeks since, when he
became worse and died of exhaustion. DR..
Adams was twice married. An adopted
daughter is the wife of President Chamber
lain. He was man of ripe culture and good
talents, with well balanced mind. He was
greatly admired for his social qualities. His
funeral services will be held at the 1st Baptist
church ia Brunswick at 10 a. m. on Thurs
day. The body will arrive on Wednesday
afternoon, and will be taken to the residence
of Gen. Chamberlain.

ELSEWHERE we print note from Major
Shorey, in which he explains his rather un-
necessary allusion to "pot-house politicians"
We say unnecessary, because if he did not in
tend to convey the idea that those offices re-
ferred to would be "lodging places for pot
house politicians" such language is not only
uncalled for, but unfortunate. Major Shorey
also assumes that he knows the author of the
communication of which he complains. Here
again he is at fault; the writer is not a resi-
dent of Cumberland county, and never voted
in any town in it. We are pleased to have
the rumors respecting the Majors participa-
tion in the defeat of Mr.. Fessenden for Clerk
of the Courts put to rest by himself.

CONTROLLER Hayes of Chicago has been
struggling with the financial question, and
thinks the problem is how to protect, preserve,
and make equal with coin the currency as it
is, without reducing its value or diminishing
the security for its redemption. He will find
that the toughest problem he ever undertook
to solve. 1t is quite as reasonable to ask
man to reduce his Indebtedness and keep all
his promissorv notes still out.

THE Democrats in the House are entitled
to some charity because they are "green
hands," But their delay in getting to work is
certainly remarkable, and not at all praise
worthy. Last year Gen. Garfield's appropri-
tion committee presented the appropriation
bills to the House before the holiday adjourn

PROFESSOR TAYLOR LEWIS of Union Col
lege has written notable letter to the New
York Tribune in which he takes the position
that nothing is more unfair than the assump-
ton that evolution is the opposite of the
Bible idea of creation. He claims that in
opposition to the mechanical notion of evo-
luton which takes to itself the title of scien.
tific, and which is nothing but a series of
facts eternally evolving, or rolling out with
out any other casual beginning or continual
tion than the facts themselves, stands the
scriptural doctrine of the Logos in nature, the
"going forth Of the Word" throughout ''the
days" OF Genesis l. Its contrast with the
Tyndalian or Darwinian evolution that vir-
tually excludes God may be stated. he says,
in the very style of Scripture, with only an
interchange of leading terms: ''In the be-
ginning" says the Bible, "was the Logos,
and all things had their being through Him,
and without Him was there nothing made
Ito use, for convenience, the defective Latin,
fGctum esO that was made. In Him was
life, and the life was the light of men, the
light of every rational soul that cometh into
the cosmos" The other doctrine speaketh
after this wise; SIN the beginning was the
nebula, and all things had their being in or
from the nebula, and without the nebula was
there nothing made that was made. In the
nebula was life, and from this life came the
light treason, consciousness) of men," He
contends that the account in Genesis with its
doctrine OF the "brooding spirit' is the unmis-
taxable language of growth, succession, birth,
generation, bringing forth, outgoing, in a
word evolution-one thing or one state of
things coming out of another. "There is,
moreover'he says, Sin this creative account,
nothing like the idea of machinery, or of a
system of casualties so arranged as to be set
in motion once for all, and continued in mo-
ton, by one original impulse. Such a me-
| chanical view would be inconsistent with that
idea of a word sounding on in nature, never
intermitting the pulsations of its original ut
terance,-the only idea, it may be said, that
| truly conserves the doctrine of ''the Living
God, "whlle excluding pantheism, and all con-
founding of Gods immanent presence in the
world with the world itself, or its physical
movement in time and space. The term
making is indeed occasionally used in the
Bible, but it gives no countenance to the me.
chanical idea of outward fabrication. 1t is
ever the Divine Word, the ''living and ener-
| gizing" divine idea, working from within or
from the center of being, instead of the arti'
| fetal notion of the workman standing on the
outside and 'moliminously,' as Cudworth
| says, introducing his idea into the recipient
material. That is the way of the human art
ist, but God makes the idea itself to be the
living formative power"

THE PRESS.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 80, 1875
The Duty Of the Hour.

Next week Congress reassembles, and
ought to be in condition to go to work at
once. Time enough has been spent in get
ting ready to do something. Now let some
thing be done. Our legislators must bear in
mind that the date assigned for resumption of
specie payments is drawing near, that no sort
OF preparation for resumption has yet been
made and that our paper dollar is still only
worth about eighty-six cents. The problem
before Congress is simple one, tina. of max
ing the paper dollar worth one hundred cents
in gold. The reason why it is worth no
more is because there is too much paper,
and the remedy is to do away with the redun-
dancy. Our only way is to pay our overdue
notes, either in gold or by renewing them in
other notes given for stated time and bear
ing interest Either of these courses will prove
acceptable to our creditors, and the only ques-
ton is, which is the easiest and most practi-
cable.
Congress cannot complain that it has no
matter to take action upon. The President
in his annual message and the Secretary o,
the Treasury in his annual report suggest
remedy for the depreciation of the currency
and plan to advance resumption. They
favor funding of the legal-tenders and a
consequent reduction of the paper circulating
medium of exchange The recommendation
is now before Congress and action UPON il is
imperatlvely demanded. The business inter-
ests of the country are languishing. Timid
capital is unemployed, waiting for settle
ment of the vexed question. If Congress
does not approve of the Presidents plan, let
Congress reject it and speedily bring forward
another as good or better in its place. 1t can
not afford to delay, to reject this plan for re-
sumption unless it has another and better
one. The responsibility for the continuance
of the evils arising from fuctuating curren-
cyl rests with Congress, and no plea of par
ty exigency or of lack of time will be tolera-
ted. The question of the currency is the
important one before the country, and press
ingy calls for solution. As soon as Congress
reassembes it must take the matter in hand
and pass some measures to facilitate resump-
ton.
