TWO EARNEST REFoRAIERs.- B. p.
Douglas, of Va, and Mr.. Hereford, of W. Va.
are two specimen Democratic economists and
reformers. They have wound into the River
and Harbor bill, of which committee Mr.. Here
ford is chairman, appropriations for the inn
provement of all the creeks in their districts.
The beauty of this, TOO, is that they are both
States rights Democrats, and therefore do not
believe in the right Of the Fedora! government
to make such appropriations. But as this is Il
retrenchment and reform Congress they just
thought they would retrench and reform lit

1t is claimed by the Democrats that ridden
reduced tho taxes of New York State eight
millions in one year. How much truth there
is i'll this may be judged wien it is known that
the Legislature was Republican by a decided ma
Jorl;y-that the legislature originated and pass
ed tile laws, and that all the virtue, therefore.
OF any reduction in the taxes, belongs to the
Republican Legislature. 1t is true Tilden did
not veto the salutary laws passed by a Re-
publican Legislature, and to this degree mega
lively aided in the enactments. He might have
defeated them, but did not,
Further, the Republicans under Gov. Dix, had
paid much of the debt, and the result followed
his wise administration. Tilden had nothing
to do with it substantially. This is about the
state of it.

The reports from the different missionary fields were quite interesting, and the remarks from returned mission aries were listened to with deep attention, the thousands present trying to hear every word relating to the great work in our own and foreign lands. The overflow meetings in the Baptist church were at- tended by great numbers. The house was full Thursday forenoon, although great many ladies left to attend the meet ing of the Woman s Board, in Pearl St. church, which was filled before the hour appointed for tLe gathering, and another meeting was organized in the .parlors con- nected with that church.
