Regulations for the Observance ofLen
In the Diocese Of St Paul.

In the Diocese Of St Paul.
The Right Rev. Bishop Grace has pro.
mulgated the following regulations for
the due observance of the holy season of
Lent in his diocese:
1: All the days Of Lent, except Sun
days are fast days Of precept.
2. The precept of fasting implies the
abstaining from food, except at one meal
in the day, excluding also therefrom the
use of flesh meats.
3. By dispensation, however, the use
of flesh meat is allowed in this Diocese
at the one meal on all the days except
the Wednesday and Friday of each week,
the Saturday of Ember week, and the
last four days of Lent.
4. Both fish and flesh meat are not to
be used at the same meal.
5. Necessity has authorized the use el
lal d in preparing food.
6. A collation. not exceeding the fourth
part of an ordinary meal is allowed in the
evening; fish, butter, cheese, eggs, etc.,
may be used at the collation.. Custom
permits also a cup of coffee, tea, or thin
chocolate, with small morsel of bread,
to be taken in the morning.
Z. The precept Of fasting is binding
under penalty Of mortal sin, upon those
who have completed their twenty.first
year. The following classes of persons
are exempted for special reasons. 1st,
the in6rm; End, those who are engaged
IN hard labor or exhausting duties; Sd,
women who are in a state Of pregnancy
or nursing children.
Persons who excuse themselves, or
seek exemption from the obligation of
fasting, should satisfy their conscience
that their indisposition is owing t. real
inability, and not to spirit of self indul-
gence. In all cases of doubt they should
consult with their pastor; and all who
are exempt should et deavor to supply as
far as they can for the non.observance of
the fast by other penitential restrictions,
and should in common with others, de-
vote themselves to prayer and recollec-
ton, and to acts of sorrow and compunc-
ton for sin, agreeably with the spirit Of
the Church in the holy season.
8. The law of abstinence from flesh
meat Is binding on all except young
children.
8. Persons restrained from fasting by
reason of infirmity, hard labor, &C., are
not restricted to the use of meat at only
one meal on the days in which meat is al
lowed: On the other days, except in
case of special sickness, they must OBJ
serve the rule of abstinence.
Pastors will hold special exercises of
devotion in their several churches at ap.
pointed times during Lent. Instructions
Of practical character upon the Chris.
tian duties, the nature of the Sacraments
and the proper preparation for their due
reception, should be given on those occa-
sions. They will see also that the chill
dren under their charge are properly in
structed in the catechism and those of q
suitable age prepared for their first COM
munion at Easter. it,
By order of the Bishop,
JOHN STANLEY, Secretary.

"A. LIDO not remember Of ever seeing
that dispatch until since these prosecu.
tions have commenced. gss5s..s
Did you know that Gen. Babcock
was g that time in correspondence With
Joyce Aboub the transfer Of supervisors?
a. know that he received frequent
letters from Joyce, for saw : number Of
them myself, and those that i did see
we're generally IS to what he Ms doing
in the way Of writing editorials for
the different papers, and en-.
closing editorials which he would
say'i in Ills letters he had written, and ask
ing how he liked the tone of them, and
so on. I recollect him saying in one let.
ter that some papers in the State of Mis-.
souri,, and perhaps in Arkansas at differ
ent points, at all events-were willing to
publish as editorial matter what he would
write for them. }a.#
E. 9. Do you remember Gen. Babcock,
prior to May, 1875, talked with you
about the propriety of sending detectives
into the several districts to detect frauds!
a. 1 do not.-I remember of his telling
me, at one time, Of what he had proposed
to MIR. Douglass. but the date Of it l do
not remember, and that was not = sug.
gestien to me, it was merely telling me
what he had suggested to Mr.. Douglass;
and this is the same that l have before
stated. s~saaa.eaaaaasassssas7 seavsag'zas7@@@7
@. Do you remember when that con.
versation was? A. No, do not. My
recollection is that he had shown that
letter to Mr.. Douglass before he had to
me, and that was the occasion when he
told me of this suggestion.
G. Did Gen. Babcock, at or about the
time of its date, show you dispatch in
the following words:
St. Louis, April %, 1875.-Gen. o. E.:
Babcock. Executive Mansion, Washing.
ton, D. c.: Tell Mack to see Parker Of
Colorado, and telegram to Commissioner.
Crush out St. Louis enemies. GRIT.
OBJECTED to by counsel for defendant.) }
Q. Did Gen. Babcock, at any time. tell
you he had endcavored to influence Com
missioner Douglass to revoke that order
A. No.
q. Will you please state why the or
der for the court of inquiry in General
Babcock's case was made before the ad-
journment Of the grand jury which found
the indictment against him, if you know
A. 1t was made because he applied
for it, and I thought he was clearly cnti-
tied to vindicate himself, if he was inno-
cent. He had been denied thatI opportu-
nifty before the grand jury.
Q. You do not know, of course, do
you, whether Mr.. Douglass suggested to
Secretary Bristow the same thing about
the transfer Of supervisors which you say
he originally suggested to you? A. I
do not know anything about it except
from the Secretary himself.

In the advisory council DR.. Strong,
offered the following resolution, whicn,
after some discussion, was adopted:
Aesolred. That the council now in ses-
sion u Plymouth Church extend cor
dial invitation to Rev. r. s. Storrs. D.
D., and Rev. VIM. j. Buddington to come
before the council TO aid Us with any
iacts which may be within their knowl-
edge, IS touching the questions before
the council.
Later both these gentlemen were
waited upon, both saying they had
nothing to communicate to the council.
Mr.. Shearman presented letter from
the Andover Theological Seminary con.
tanning proposition for mutual council
to investigate the charges against Mr.,
Beecher, which was referred tt a commit.
tee of three.
In the evening, as per resolution
adopted, MIR: Bowen appeared before the
council, the interest in what he might,
perhaps, have to say, attracting so great
crowd that it was found necessary to
close the doors at 7 o'clock. The ex.mi-
nation, which was conducted by DR.. Ba.
con and the committee on the 9Th oues-
tion, did not result in developing anv
new points in reference to his failure to
appear before the Plymouth examining
committee or the other questions in dis.
pute. Following, an examination was
had in reference to the tripartite agree
ment and the council adjourned.

Q. Were such efforts made BY promi-
ninent public men! A. They were.
Q. Did you resist the pressure that
was made upon you for the revocation Or
suspension Of, the order, and if you final
ly decided to direct the revocation of
that order. will you please sstate why you
were induced to do SO, and by whom !!
The Grange advance., 1876-02-23

there any hitch in sending Maguire's s
name to the Senate? JOYCE" A. I
cannot remember particularly. I think,
however, Gen. Babcock did ask me if
there was any reason why Maguire:s s
name should not be sent. I have an in.
distinct recollection of his asking me the
question.
Q. You have said that you resisted
the pressure brought to bear upon YOU
by prominent public men in regard to the
suspension or revocation of the order
transferring supervisors. If you have no
objection, will you please state the names
of those prominent men who brought
that pressure to bear upon you? A.
There were many persons, and think
could give the names of several Senators
and probably members of Congress; but
probably should have to refer to papers
that are on file. I do not know that it is
material. know that the pressure was
continual from the supervisors and their
friends.
Q. Can you, from memory, name any
Senators or Representatives. A. I
could name two or three, but I do not
believe that it is necessary.
Mr.. Eaton. will not press it then.
@. Will you please to state whether
Gen. Babcock showed you, on or about
the time of its date, a dispatch to him in
these words:
st. Louis, Feb. 3, l875-Gen. O. E.
Babcock. Executive Mansion, Washing.
ton, D. c.: We have official information
that the enemy weakens. Push things.

Q. Do you remember whether John
A. Joyce was recommended to you as
Ford's successor by Gen. Babcock? A.
He was not.
Q. Was anything said to you by Gen.
Babcock between the time Of the death of
Ford and the appointment of Constantine
Mcguire touching Joyce's fitness for the
place? A. Babcock presented me dis
patch that he had received from Joyce,
saying that he was an applicant or max
ing application for it. do not remem-
Der the wording of it.. The substance of
it was that he wanted to be Ford's sue
cessor. My reply to him was that I
should be guided largely in selecting the
successor Of Mr.. Ford by the recommen-
dation of mis- bondsmen; he having died
suddenly, unexpectedly, and away from
home, thought they were entitled to be
at least consulted as to the successor who
should settle up his accounts.
@. Did you advise General Babcock to
telegraph Joyce to get the bondsmen of
Ford to recommend Joyce for collector !!
A. I made the statement in substance
that I have given in answer to forego-
ing question. Whether I told him to do so
by telegraph or not it would be impossi.
BILE for me to say. That'might be re.
garded as at least authority to so tele-
graph.

CAIRO, Ills, Oct. !, 1876.
Business, as has been usual for the
past two weeks, opened up pretty brisk
on Monday morning. The city was full
of farmers and teams, with wagons well
laden with produce, meats. etc, all OF
which now finds ready sale in this mar
ket. The weather continues to grow
colder each day. The leaves have begun
to fall, and the chilly winds have brought
out overcoats and heavy clothing. The
clothiers have all laid in their winter
stocks, and in no place in the country
can better bargains in goods OF this kind
be obtained than here in Cairo, OF which
fact we speak for the benefit of our
country friends. Business on the rivers
continues very fair. There Is good
stage OF water TO New Orleans. Rates
are unchanged.
The -four trade continues active. The
receipt for the past week of choice have
been fair, but OF low and medium gradr>
there is still a scarcity, though scvera! OF
our merchants We're looking for ship
ments to arrive yesterday. The demand
for choice is moderate. with good sup
ply in stock, while the low and medium
grades have the call over all others.
Flour ranging in price from 81 to 81 80
is what is wanted very badly.
We have almost become discouraged
with the hay market as have our mer-
chants. There seems to be nothing to
keep up spirits in this trade. The only
kind of hay that will sell at all is choice,
and but very little is coming in. Com
mon stock is seldom called for, and the
market is full OF it.
Corn is completely dead. There is
none on the market, and none is wanted.
There is demand whatever. For oats
there is no good demand, when they are
choice. There is a very light supply on
the market, with very light receipts.
Meal and bran are usually dull. There
is very little country meal in stock. City
meal is in good supply.
Choice butter is now and will continue
in good demand, as the weather is favor
able. Common is pretty plenty, and
finds very slow sale. Eggs are in good
demand. There Is fair supply.
Good young chickens and old hens are
In good active demand at good prices
The sales OF poultry for the past few
days have been very good.
The market Is well supplied with
apples. The demand is only moderate.
