The first week in January has
come to be very generally observed
the evangelical churches as a sea
son Of special prayer The appoint
ment is likely to be more generally
noticed the coming season than here
tofore. The widely difused desire
and expectation of a special work of
grace will have the effect to lead to
more diligent use of the means of
grace, both common andspecial. The.
Evangelical Alliance have sent out
their annual suggestion of topics for
prayer during the first week of1S76.
It may be edifying to some Chris
|tians to look over this list, but as a
matter of fact we never atterd ed a
series of meetings in which Chris
|tiahs prayed by the programme,
which is this year as follows:

9 Things look bad for @Bab," the IN
innate, social companion and friend
of the President. He appears to be
tarred with the same stick as Joyce
and Mcdonald, and other crooked
whisky parties, in st. Louis. -"Bab"
does not deny the "soft impeach-
ment'' as yet, but ~intimates, that
when the truth is known, things will
not appear half so dark for him. If
this be the ease he had better speak
quickly, things do look awfully black
for "Bab." 1t is said Bristow means
to have this little matter cleared up.

Judge Jeremiah S. Black has been
brought out as a Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency by the Pitts
burg Post, which remarks, casually
that he is "Pennsylvania's faHorite
son, than whom none bear aprouder

manship." We should like to com
promise on Judge Black. He would
fill the penitentiaries and jails, of the
country so full of Radical thieves
that their feet would stick out of the
windows. ar =

Reader, please remember this
Every robber of the public revenue
is a Republican. The whisky rings
formed by men on intimate relations
with the President are run by Repub-
licans. They are loyal fellows, lots
of them are dubbed Colonels and
Generals and boast of their fighting
qualities, but developments, slowly
made, show them to he the best stra-
tegists when fighting for spoils in the
revenue service. They are atfin good
standing in the Republican party,
and believe the third term is the true
principle in American politics.-De-
fance Democrat.

The dismissal of HENDERSON by
the President, as the prosecutor in
the St. Louis whisky cases, looks
rather fishy on the part of Mr.. Grant,
and his pretence that it was because
of some personal remarks rejecting
upon him, is a very hollow one. A
wounded bird is sure to ~fiutter, and
the truth of the whole matter is plain
that Henderson was getting too hot
on the trail, and Grant became
alarmed for his own safety. The
curtain may as well drop on all fu-
ture proceedings, as they will be but
a farce.

The census of 1870 gives the
Methodist church property exempt
from taxation as 500, S54, III, against
$50, 9S5, $50 held by the Roman Cath
olics, and $53,265,256 held by the
Presbyterians. 1t would be sad if
the exhibition ofthese facts should
induce Bishop HAVEN and his two
hundred followers to reconsider their
denomination.

Among the very first things which
the House will attempt in the wayof
legislation, will be an effort to repeal
the act making the Presidents salary
$4,000, andrestoring the old act,
which fixed it at $4,000. This will
be done to test the Senate on the
question of "Retrenthment and Re-
FORM"

Us The money power, by their attor-
-ney, the President, are out with a
search warrant for more property to

heretofore been a sanctuary of es-

is now threatened. Pretty soon they
will be looking after the graveyards
and tombstones in order to protect
the bondholders. q,
