To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Str: Per-
NIT me to present your readers with some OF
the principles by which very eminent theo-
logian may enable them to form u rational
orthodox opinion concerning hell.
The palngenesla Is represented to us Ia
Scripture as al act OF separation followed by an
act Of union. THIS separation Is the judgment,
the separation Of the good from the bai. tho
end Of that syncretic mingling Of the wicked
with the good, which is found in this world.
The union is the glory. or the unincation Of the
good among themselves with the universe aud
with God. The separation is antecedent to the
union. az the synthetic is succeednut to the
analytic. But let IT be observed that the separ-
alton Is onk negative, that IS that from the
go"d are removed only the mimeLc elements.
those germs mat are tutln etheXic, incapable OF
trausfOf alton. And the palingenesia not being
simply one. hut an infinite series 81 Transforms
Tons II follows that not any one Of them Is
complete. II II were complete IL would re in

follows that every Ualngeue-d Is dialectic. IN

nifty of the pains Of hell

Still again, and yet once more, the voice
OF EDWARDS PIERREPoNT sounds across the
sea. He is speechifying so steadily that we
hardly see how ne can find time to breathe, or
take his regular meals. or get his natural sleep
Thls time bis tlrcless tongue has been thing Of
wonderment at a banquet given to Her Maiesty's
Ministers, which was not attended by the prin-
cipal Minister Of Her Majesty. DIsRAELI had,
probably, ascertaned In advance that PIERRE
poNT would be there with his voice. and even
Lord Mayors banquet was no temptation to him
when thus qualified. Yesterdays cable despatch
told us OF this speech OF P1ERREPoNT, but this
morning we have despatch saying all the
speeches were uuimportant. Here's the trouble
for PIERREPoNT. His interminaDle spee chill, Ing
so exhausts mankind that 1t becomes unim-
portant at last. The newspapers cease to report
It, and its bearers merely laugh at It or yawn
over 1t. IL PIERREPosT thinks no must earn
his salary az Minister to England by pcrpetually
delivering speeches, he is mistaken. lie will
better deserve his pay II he never opens his
mouth, except on business, In which case his
duties will be light and easy. Let him. as
American Minister 10 London, reflect upon the
ways OF the British Minister In Washington,
who rarely makes a speech.

While EDWARDS PIERREPoST dwelt
among US, he was IN the habit of consulting
spiritual mediums, and among them the i'm

posed; but soon after his recent arrival In Lon

the archbishops and bishops Of England with a
speech clarifying the Episcopal Church, a.

the Establishment. He might have surprised

about his consultation with mediums, or
about the ways and means Of commu-

the news he got from the shadowy

dignitaries whom he addressed had ever ox-
plored. 1t was a strange omission 1t was an

Call for State Convention of Col

At national convention of. col>
ored newspaper men, held in the
city of Cincinnati on the fourth and
fifth days of August, 1875, it was
resolved to call a national conven-
ton of colored men to meet in the
city of Nashville, Tenn, on the first
Wednesday in April, 1876, at twelve
o'clock noon /; and in order to secure
the success of this call, and have
full delegations from the several
States aud Territories, an executive
committee of three in each State
was appointed by the president of
said convention to carry out the
details in the election of delegates
The undersigned, having been ap.
pointed the executive committee for
the State of Mississippi, cordially
invite the colored men of this State
to meet in mass convention in the
city of Jackson on the 31st day of
March, 1876, at IL o'clock noon, to
elect twenty delegates to said ma
tional convention, and to transact
such other business as may be pre-
scented. Each county in the State
will be entitled to double the num-

Wanted-A Relief Measure.

Referring to a sound communi-
cation in its columns on the 22nd
inst, the Clarion says:
Granger publishes ringing
appeal to the Legislature for a prac-
teal measure of relief to the tax
payers. He dwells forcibly on the
fact that though measures have
been passed curtailing expendi-
lures, there has been no bill actual
ly reducing taxes, and that unless
this is done the tax-cOllectOr will
20 his rounds the present year max.
ing the same exorbitant demands
upon the people. Reduction of ex-
penditures and reduction of taxes
must 60 hand in hand, in order that
the people may realize the benefits
of change of rulers. 1t is only in
this way that property can be re-
lieved of the stagnating pressure
that now brushes out it's value, and
confidence restored. The burden
must be lifted from the shoulders
of the people, so that they can
stand erect once more, and take
new start in the race of life.

ARRESTED FOB FoRGERY-We
are psined and shocked to hear tina;
Col. Jules Andrews of Enterprise,
was day before yesterday arrested
for forgery. The amount of money
involved, said to have been appro.
priated by him is reported at $6, 1000
id gold, entrusted by Mr.. Spencer,
an elderly gentleman living near
Pauldlng. to be deposited in Mo.
bile, Ala Narcissus Graham, sOn-
in-law of Spencer, recently discov-
cred the peculation on presenting a
draft against it. 1t has been seve-
raj years since the money fell into
Andrews keeping, and he has man.
aged to keep down suspicion until
now. He was a merchant in fine
business at the time the money fell
into his hauds.-Merididn Mercury.

PENDING the resignation Of
iut.-Governor Davis, much ex-
element prevailed in political cir
cles in and around the Capital, as
to the probable appointment of his
successor, and much argument pre-
vailed pro aud con, as to the con-
stitutionality of such an appoint
ment by the Governor. However,
the question was finally settled on
the Goth inst, when the recent act
of the Legislature. abolishing this
privilege, became a law by limita.
ton. Gov. Ames, though strongly
urged by influential friends to make
the appointment, refused, for his
own reasons. The President pro
tempore of the Senate now becomes
Lieut.. Governor.

SPEAKING of the failure of Gov.
Ames-to appoint Lieut. Governor,
vice A. K. Davis, resigned, impeach
ed, ETC., the Jackson Times, under
the head of I" Lost Opportunities"
says:
Just before placing our forms on
the press, we are advised that not
withstanding the plain and peremp-
tory mandate Of the law, and in utter
disregard of the recommendations
and earnest appeals of prominent
Republicans, from all sections of the
State, His Exccllency, Gov. Ames,
has failed to fill the vacancy in the
office of Lieut.. Governor, 0ocasioned
by the resignation Of A. X. Davis,
and that he has permitted the act
of the Legislature depriving the
Executive of the power to fill such
vacancies to become Q law by limit
alton. We are at loss to deter
mine by what motives the Cover
nor was actuated in refusing to
perform o plain duty imperatively
enjoined upon him by law, but we
do know that by his failure to act
he has given offense to che great
body of Republicans who, with rare
unanimity, were in favor Of an ap-
pointment being made.
Commenting on this. the Clarion
says: The Times ought to have
said that his Excellency's failure to
usurp the power claimed for him.
had given mortal offense to Q score
or SO of ravenons office-seekers.
