ES A considerable furore is being
kicked up over the country by the press
about third-termism end religion.
Bishop Haven Of the N. Z. Church, at
Sunday School Convention in Boston
on Monday last. in speech before a
large audience, at which was gathered
great many ministers of the same
denomination as the Bishop, most un-
wisely nominated Gen. Grant for a
third term, and asked tina. the ministers
present pray for his election. This act
of the Bishop is characterized by the
public generally as being in very bad
taste. 1t may do to mix little religion
in with politics, but it will not do TO
mix politics with religion.

ne Let every man who owes a debt

nH- Let every man who owes debt
to his neighbor pay something IN it,
and thus put money into circulation.
In times like these, some people take an
unfair advantage and refuse to pay little
debts that they are perfectly able TO
settle. Such course only makes mat
tiers worse. The payment ola single
debt results in the payment of a dozen
more with the same money. Men
should help one an other in hard times,
and they cannot more efftctually do it
than by paying their debts.

RG TEMPERANCE ADDRESSES.-Ihe
temperance SPEECH by Hon j. II. Grove,of
this County, at the NJ f. Church South,
on Tuesday evening last, was highly
commended by all who heard it. His
remarks were based upon the "Unconsl-
tutiouality Of the liquor license" which
were sound and logical. Mr.. Grove is
an excellent and forc:ble speaker, and
had the strict attention Of the large au-
dence assembled during the delivery Of
his address. About fifty persons signed
Pledge to abstain from intoxicating
drinks. Addresses upon the subject Of
Temperance were also delivered at the
NJ. L. Church on Wednesday even
ing, by Rev. Mr.. Hubbard of the Epis-
copal Church; &. 7. Butler, Esq, and
Rev Mr. Holland of the Lutheran
Church, which were able and impress
sive. These meetings no doubt will re-
suit in much good for the Temperance
cause.
pJ ANNULEp.-In the amended
School-law, the section, granting TO the
holders of Normal diplomas the priv
lege of teaching anywhere in the State,
without being examined every year, has
been stricken out ard all graduates of
Normal Schools are required to obtain
certificate from the County Superlnten-
dent, before they Cal draw their pay.
These certificates, heretofore granted,
;.r. under the law contracts between the
State on the one part, and the holder
of the certificate on the other part, and
SO far as the amended law refers to those
previously given, it is violation OF the
contract by the State, as it is not assert
ed that the holders have forfeited their
right to theirs, but on the contrary, 1t
is acknowledged that the Normal grad
mates are the best teachers i'll the State.
sS- On Monday last the Speaker o!
the House OF Representatives announced
the Standing Committees, tor the pres
ent Congress, aid We were surprised to
see that the distinguished member from
this District, whose age. energy and ex-
perience entitled him to the Chairman
ship of some one or more IF them, has
not been placed at the head of any,
but occupies secondary position; which
we regard as unjust to him and by no
means complimentary to his constitu-
ents.

m- INCREASED TAxATIoN.-Tbe a.
