g8~ The concert at the Rogcrsville
Female College last Friday evening was
quite successful affair. A fine audi
ence was present. though the night was
bitter coid. The young ladies were look
ing their very best, their songs, instru-
mental music, and acting were all
highly commendable. Those present
were pleased with the performances, and
express themselves as more than salts
fed. We learn the organ purchased for
the College is a f1rst-class instrument.
It was aR- instrument much needed by
the institution, and we should be pleased
to know that the girls, by two or three
concerts could pay for it. At the same
slime the concerts will be positive ad-
vantage to tire girls.

Taxation Of Church Primarily.

To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: As one OF your correspondents has been
kind enough to furnish your readers with certain
reasons why churches Eshould be taxed, allow me
the Privilege Of giving some reasons why they
SHOULD net be taxed
/. They are built for the public good, by private
benevolence, and are supported BY private charity
SO far froiL Increasing rather lessen the taxation
Of other property. This they do BY intoxicating
the principles of purity, encouraging intelligence,
conscientiousness Bnd good order, without which
not only good government, but society itself
would be impossible. Many Of them support their
own poor, and by their moral and material aid re-
neve the Government Of much expense which
otherwise would fall upon 1t.
2 The same reason is valid for their exemption
that is given for the exemption Of public schools
that is, they are valuable to society and product
i've Of good citizens The State taxes her citizens
for the support Of the public schools. No one,
only that the churches be relieved from the bur,
den of supporting the State. The foundation Of
all good government is the intelligence and mo-
rality Of the citizens. Christianity, more than
any other agency, encourages intelligence and
cultiTates morality
8. Churches are not built in any private inter
est, are not for private gain and are supported by
those who, besides taxing themselves for their
support, pay their full share Of taxes on their
private property. Why make them pay double
ts1es2
/. To tax churches would be, in effect. to ell.
many smaIl and feeble orr. and build IN the
strong ana men. Believing them to be centres Of
good and agencies for the diffusion Of truth and
Incubation Of good morals, would this be desir.
able?
Admitting that churches are relieved from the
burden of taxation by the State, 1t may be safely
affirmed that they render more than an equiVG-
lent in lessening the burden Of taxation on other
property.
II churches hold property as an investment, or
II they ore conducted for revenue and gain, let
them be taxed as any other kind Of property. But
If direct and supported by private charity, and IL
designed for the promotion Of good order and good
government, we are clearly OF the opinion that
they should not be taxed.
Oontending for the principle that the State
should not support religion, we would be Just as
strenuous in maintaining that religion should not
support the State. N. r.

The Cold Fatal to the Aged.

It cannot fail to be noticed that q melancholy
effect Of the excessive and continuous cold during
January and February has been sickness and
death among aged persons. There has been an
average Of about one death per day during the
two weeks past, in this District, Of persons over
fifty years Of age; Of nearly one In every two days
Of persons over seventy. hye years Of age. large
proportion Of these deaths have occurred from
portherly than here. And another fact cconnested
with this mortality Is, that these death-rates are
greatest among aged men Of letters and Of eal-
ture. Prominent among these, as statesmen, Don
and Senator Buckingham, Of Connecticut; Gen.
b. S. Roberts, late Of the United States army,
Who died IN this city; Hon. H. 9. Freeman, Of
Edward and Henry DelafeId, Of New York, are
principal instances of this mortality.
The inquiry arises, how does the cold weather
increase the mortality in the aged, and why the
large proportion Of men Of prominence
In an article some weeks ago in The REPUBLI-
CAN an unproiessionai description Of pneumonia
lungs was Indicated. The lungs Of the aged, and
especially those whose physical energy Is devel-
oped In mental labor are sensitive to the changes
gestion and disease. The more highly Intellectual
and the more engaged in mental labor the aged
ma man H. the less hardy Is ap; to DC his Psysigus
Of disease, especially Of the vital organs and the
more readily he suecumbs to accute inflammatory
disease, especially pneumonia.
When we consider how many Of our aged
national councillors are becoming victims to dis
ease during these weeks Of frigid winter weather
and when we reflect how lily the country can
these veterans, and especially when we reflect
further that the number Of young or middle-aged
statesmen and other literary and professional
men, who can ELL acceptably the positions made
vacant by the death Of those, We can only regret
such calsmities, and earnestly pray that old
winter may soon, very soon gather MS 10y gar
ments about him and take his final departure to
more rigid regions.

Justice to a Class Of Faithful Servants,

a portion Of the employees of the District gov
eminent, and who were reduced in their salaries
twenty per cent. per annum by the act OF Con-
gress approved June 20, 1874, have just petitOned
the Senate and House Of Representatives for q
restoration Of the salaries so deducted and re-
tanned from them, and such q request is entitled
to the hearty approval Of every one who will
fairly and impsrtiSlly consider the merits Of the
case These officials include among their number
gentlemen Of the highest clerical ability, and
whose experience at their present desks render
them invaluable aids to the successful working of
the District government. The act above referred
petitioners, but curtsiled the number OF en-
plOyees from about two hundred and thirty to one
hundred and One-the number at present en-
ployed. AS q result Of this great reduction the
duty TO be performed has fallen with an onerous
weight upon those retained in place, compelling
them to labor at their several otices nights IS
well as Sundays, in order to complete the records
and expedite public business.
1t is not amiss to say here, also, that many OF
these gentlemen acquired their knowledge Of the
of government here and working in such capacity,
were often obliged 10 wait tIUO, three and four
months before their monthly compensation could
be received, and even then they were paid In part
in District bonds, which we're below par, and sub
leeted them 10 the tender mereies OF shaTers.
What was left to them after this stripping" pro-
cess was soon swallowed up by the 'green grocer"
who added from ten to fifteen per cent, on his
price OF merchandise, to cover all contingencies"
Again, as the case now stands, the clerks of the
"Board Of Audit" receive salary far In excess OF
the petitioners, who do more and seyerer work,
and such as requires more training and experience
of their duties than those so partially cared for.
In view Of these facts IL does seem that Congress
cannot turn deaf ear to the present appeal, go
firmly entrenehed IN principles Of justice and

SUIT AGAINST A TELEGRAPH COMPANY
NOught Omitted Causes 81, 600 Loss.


Mark Young, Of Georgetown, yesterday en-
tered suit in the Supreme Court of the District
against the Southern Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany- claiming $1,000 damages. He sets forth in
his declaration that he is a miller, engaged in
the business Of grinding corn, and that on the
4th Of December last he sent to the company's
office message for transmission from George
town TO Alexandria, Va, as follows:
ITO SEi11n Co., Alexandria, Va:
send two thousand (2,OO0) bushels new dry
white corn by Saturday evening.
IN. You've, Georgetown, d. e."
But that said message was altered in its trans
mission 90 as to read two huBdred" instead Of
two thousand" bushels, and that on the 4th OF
December the price Of corn at Alexandria was IS
cents per buShel, and the Potomac river was open
for navigation and continued so for the space Of
week from that date, whereby the corn could have
been transported TO Georgetown at a cost Of two
cents per bushel, and plaintiff would make great
gains thereby; but owing to the alteration Of said
message the plaintiff was greatly damaged, being
compelled to pay 20 cents per bushel for corn ana
six cents per bushel for its transportation, after
the navigation of the Potomac river was closed by
lee. T. ". Jones appears for Young. The case
will be heard next fall.

Reformed Episcopal Church, were very widely
circulated, and created much interest in the
Church Within the last two weeks five clergy
men Of the Protestant Episcopal Church have
united to the Reformed Episcopal Church.
These are the Rev. Benjamin johnson, for many
years rector Of Christ church in Macon, Georgia;
Rev. J. Howard Smith, u. D., late rector Of the

owing 10 the rush Of business at Congress and
consequently were unable to make q report. The
