MUST HALT.

Nobody objects to the principle in
volved in Blaine's amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, in re-
relation to the establishment of religion
and the school fund.- as the States have
already provided all the needful guaran-
tees, but it will be made the entering
wedge for appropriate legislation which
means the control by the general gov
ernment of religion and education,
which in the end would be disastrous to
both. Amendments to the Constitution
should not be proposed or acted upon
during the turmoil and excitement of a
Presidential election. Especially should
the people distrust the sincerity of the
ambitious candidates for the Presidency,
in throwing out suggestions which are
supposed to jump with the prejudice of
classes. 1t is the resort of demagogues,
never Of Statesmen or patriots. The peo-
pie will find to late, that power has been
passing from the many to the few with
railroad speed. and that the general
government already possesses too much
control over States and the business OF
the country, 1t must, if the liberties Of
the citizen are to be preserved, be di-
minished rather than extended.-PiH.,

."NO METHODIST WHO rs NOT
GRLEVED AND SORRY"
[From the Methodist. ]

We feel bound to say that Methodists
are utterly opposed to mixing church and
politics, to turning ecclesiastical gather
ings into caucusses, and that we believe
that every minister in attedance at Bos-
ton holds this anti-sectarain creed. But
if Cardinal McCloskey had dedicated
the Boston Cathedral the same week and
had uttered Bishop Haven's words ask
ing his priests to pray for the election OF
General Sheridan as measure OF safe
ty we do not doubt that every Metho-
dist newspaper and pulpit in the land
would have famed with Indignation.
For this reason we regret the introduc'
ton ofthe topic into the Boston meeting
We have met no Methodist WHO'S moi
grieved and sorry, and we have talked
with some ofthe warmest personalfriends
of fthe President. 1t must be apparent
that an indiscretion so damaging to the
Chief Magistrate could not have been ar
ranged and sanctioned by church author
ity
One word more. The nomination oi
President for a third term would be a
new and extraordinary event. which
wears to many persons. semi-revolu'
tionary look. The speech Of Bishop
Haven would rather confirm this impress
sion, since he seems to contemplate a
personal government rather than gov
ernment Of laws. The reception given
by the public ought to be warning that
upon such question as this the Office
bearers Of churches do not enjoy as
much liberty Of personal action as is US
ually accorded to them in their character
Of citizens.

A committee of the manufacturers OF
mowers and reapers was held in Phila-

There were present from Northern Ohio
manufactures, Messrs. H. c. Fogle and
Jacob Miller, of the Canton works OF
Aultman & Co.; VIM. K. Miller, of the
Russell mower and reaper, at Canton,
and Lewis Miller, of the Aultman, Miller

Warder, ofSpringfeld, was elected Presi-
dent and G. W. Allen, Auburn, N. Y,
Secretary.
Mr.. B. Landreth, Chief of the Centen-
NAL Bureau of Agriculture, presented
the question of an open trial of all ma
chimes at the exhibition. A committee
appointed to report on the question, ad-
vised the appointment of committees OF
the Convention to meet the Executive
Board of the Centennial Commission on
the 18th of next month, then to make
final arrangements for the trial. The
committee of the Convention consisted
of Messrs. D. M. 0sburn, representing
the Kirby machine, of Auburn, N. Y,
Mr.. Dutton, of the Clipper, Lewis Miller,
of the Buckeye, William Whiteley, Of
the Champion, and NJ. Baldwin, formerly
of the Clipper, at present manufacturer

The moving and reaping machine in
terest of the country was largely repre-
sented, there being present representa-
tives of yearly product of $4,000 ma
chimes, and letters were read from firms
not personally represented, which would
increase the number to 100000. The
convention adjourned, subject to call

pRooEEpINos OF THE ASSEMBLY.

Paris, December 24.-In the Assembly
to. day the Press bill was under debate.
M. Grevy proposed that the Press law
and State of Siege be dealt with in sep
arate bills; that the State of Siege be
raised throughout the country, and that
the consideration of the Press bill be
postponed.
M. Buffet defended the Governments
bill as 1t stood. He denied, notwith-
standing the result of the Senatorial cleo
tons, the existence of an opposition ma.
iority. The Ministry would support q
Conservative union both at elections and
in the Chambers. He pointed to the
overthrow of several previous govern
ments to which the whole Conservative
population freely adhered. The Conser-
vative Union would appeal to all parti-
sans of those Governments. He showed
how Bonapartists had supported the
Senatorial candidates of the Left. and
gained nothing in return, and asked !:
"Will our alliance afford them less guar
antee ?" He concluded as follows: The
Constitution of the 25th of February re-
quires reorganization, it must return to
the Chambers. Men, who are disposed
to pursue, in conjunction with President
MacMahon, the policy of social preserva-
ton and give aid to the victor of Ma

THE MOODY AND SANKEY SER.
VICES YESTERDAY. uG

Philadelphia, December 21.-The SER
vices at the prayer meeting of Moody
and Sankey were well attended. After
singing and prayer, Mr.. Moody addressed
the congregation on the subject of prayer,
stating that we must ask in our prayers
in ChrIst's name and for His sake, and
not our own. The speaker quoted the
text where Christ promised His disciples
that what they asked of the Father "in
my name He will grant it to you" and
that in prayers that Injunction should be
followed. Furthermore, prayer should
be for the glory of God, and not our own.
Many mothers are praying for their
sons, not for the glory of God, but that
she may have more peace at home. The
speaker, after enforcing these ideas in a
variety Of ways, concluded by a strong
appeal to the congregation relative to the
high importance Of prayer and the eneces-
sity of its conditions enumerated above.
The congregation then sang "Guide me,
Oh, Thou Great Jehovah" and after
prayer were dismissed.

THE INDISPENSABLE BANNER
FOR 1875.

The indispensable condition of success
in 1876 is therefore evident. 1t is that
the candidate shall be in himself the
proof that there will be no continuation
of those things which have so radically
alienated immense numbers who would
prefer to vote it merely because it is the
Republican ticket. Republicans ought
to see clearly that as Grant himself could
not possibly be reelected, so none of the
Grant group can be elected. 1t is the
administration which has endangered
and defeated the party, and any candi-
date who would represent substantially
a continuance of administration in the
general character and spirit that we have
mentioned would be surely defeated.
The signs of the times upon this point
are absolutely unmistakable. The only
man whom the Republicans can elect is
some man whom the administration
coterie would strongly oppose, because
his career and character would be the
guarantee of total change in the tone
of administration.-Harper'S Weekly.

Babcock's legitimate income is the pay

these fees his "vails," [avails] and most
sturdily does he stand out for them. The

Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chat,
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of to-day
With patient hand removing
All the briars from the way,
CHORUS
Then scatter seeds of kindness,
Then scatter seeds Of kindness,
Then scatter seed Of kindness,
For our reaping by and by,
Strange, we never prize the music
TIN the sweet voiced bird has hownl
Strange, that we should slight the violets,
Till the lovely flowers are gonel
Strange, the summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one'talfso fair,
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air.
If we knew the baby fingers,
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now2
All those little ice.cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by.and'hyl

sent by the Khedive under command Of
General Arendrop, a Dane, to subjugate
the Abyssinians, was drawn into ambush
and nearly every man slaughtered. Gen.
Arendrop, Pasha and many other officers
were literally hacked to pieces, their
heads stuck on spears before the Abys-
sinian tents, and their bodies sent to
wild beasts. Mackillop Pasha is said to
be alive and prisoner, Of Col. Routh,

A WORD TO DUB REPRESENTA- TIVEs

While DESTROYS OF attaining an honorable
and fair solution of the legislative difficulty
we most ardently hope that the caucus O
Conservatives will be in no haste to accep
any plan of adjustment sent by their agents
from Washington.
In any event we hope and urgently recon-
mend that any proposition coming thence
will be maturely discussed with open doors
and well weighed in all it's bearings before il
shall be put to a vote. The interests at stake
are of great importance, and the time for
reformatory legislation is short, but it
would be better, infinitely better, that the
Conservative majorities of the State should
have no representative at the State-House
than that the recognition of any absolute
right should be won by barter and trading, or
that one jot or title of honor should be com
promised.
Let the language Of each proposition be
scanned and scrutinized with jealous regard
for the true good of the State, which cannot
be outside the sacred pale of honor
Either the Radicals in Congress desire
pacific settlement of the results of the affair
of the 4th of January, in order that their
party may escape some of the denunciations
of an indignant constituency in all parts Of
the Union, or on the other hand they will
resolved on extreme measures toward Lou
isiana
If the former, then they are willing to con-
cede what an honorable settlement demands
without asking from Conservative members
any concessions unbecoming to them as free
and enlightened legislators, but if the latter
is their purpose, as to us seems now most
probable they will neither proffer nor accept
any terms of adjustment by which they will
not surely win an advantage

Washington Relics.

The New York State library, which is con
nected with the New York University, appear
to be accommodating many of the most interest
ing relics of George Washington. 1t has fol
some time had possession of tie surveying
implements used by Washington when be was
surveyor and conveyancer of lands, and il
has lately received another reminder of Wash
ingtons connection with the real estate bust.
ness in the shape of a map of 1861 acres Of
land in Augusta county, Va, and certificate
setting forth that the same had been sur.
veyed; signed &c. Washington, dated oNov.
7, 1749." George Washington was then only
seventeen years old, or more exactly in his
seventeenth year. The map and certificate
are both by his hand, and are described as
''models of neatness.' Appended to Wash
lngton's name are the initials IS C. c., which
are explained to stand for Surveyor to the
County Clerk"
There are very few seventeen-year-old
youths OF these days who are competent to
survey and make an official plat of tract of
land, and still fewer who hold the Office of
County Surveyor. But as G.. Washington
could not tell lie, we are bound to take his
word and sign-manual for the truth of the
statement and the genuineness of the docu-
ments is not disputed. If more of the relics
of Washington were to find a repository in the
Capitol, the moral effect upon public men and
public life might be beneficial. In the mean
time the New York University is collecting all
the well-authenticated relics of G. Washing
tons model boyhood to hang up before the
eyes of its youth. This last acquisition is in
a good state OF preservation, inclosed in
metallic frame and protected by glass.
