TIE dedication services of the new
NJ. E. Church came off according to
appointment, last Sunday. Bishop
FOSTER, of Cincinnati, conducted
them. The attendance was large and
orderly. A pleasing feature of the oc-
casion, was the omission OF services
at the other city schurches, thus not
only expressing sympathy and CHRIS
tian fellowship, but affording all an
opportunity of attending.
The church was compieted' pu'
there was a debt against it OF some
81 600. This had to be provided for
before dedication. Thus the fore
noon services were given to this OBJ
iect. The response was noble one.
The total subscriptions and cash
amounted to the handsome sum of
$5,577.42. There were seven sub
scriptions of 5000 each, sixteen of
500, twenty one Of $50, and the bal
anee ranging from $25 to 50. A
church costing $4,000, built and
paid for in less than a year, speaks
we'll for the liberality and moral tone
of the people of Gallipolis.
In the evening, after an able ser
mon from the Bishop, the dedication
services occurred, according to the
formula of the M. f. Church.
In this connection, the names OF
the Trustees of the Church, who have
carried forward this work, deserve to
be placed on record, viz: L. S. FORD,
President; J. T. HALLIDAY, Treasu-
rer; d. Y. SMITHERs, d. w. DAVIES,
G.. d. BAILEY, JAS. GATEwOoD, j. w.
GARDNER, ]. c. HUTsINPILLER and G..
III. SCHAEFER. To these names
must be added that of Rev. G.. D..
BATrELLE, the pastor. His labors in
the good work were ceaseless and
greatly efectual.
We give elsewhere full descrip-
ton of this beautiful eliflce.

We learn by dispatches from London that
Mr.. Schenck has resigned and by despatch
from Washington that his resignation has
been accepted The only appropriate COM
ment on this news is an expression of regret
that the resignation and acceptance have
been so long delayed. We will express no
opinion as to the legal guilt or inno-
cence of Mr.. Schencks transactions In
connection with the scandalous Emma Mine,
but certain it is that his usefulness as the
representative of the American government
was fatally impaired from the moment when
that disastrous speculation exploded. To say
that he was himself deceived and was him
should not have permitted his name
to be used at all in furtherance
of any speculation. Had it been his
own name as a private gentleman
which he thus lent or sold to promote the
speculation the transaction would stand in
a different light. What he really did was to
give the prestige of his great station, which
he held as public trust to a scheme for
drawing money from the pockets of the Eng
lish people. Had he been a private
American citizen sojourning in London
he would have been at liberty to pro-
mote such a speculation, subject, of
course, to his personal responsibility
for the truth of his representations. But he
had no shadow of a right to traffic in the
honor of his government and inveigle unsus-
pecting people to purchase worthless shares
on the faith of his standing as the American
Minister. Even if he had not consented to
be a share owner himself, his Endorsement of
the speculation would have been indefensi-
ble But when he had a personal in
terest, and that personal interest had been
given him as a means of purchasing the in
fuence of his official position, every senti-
ment of honor delicacy and proprlety was
violated by permitting the speculation to

Turkey and the "Reforms.,

The cable tells us of a frman granted by
provinces declaring certain reforms.
These reforms are of comprehensive char
acter and have been granted Gin accordance
with the friendly advice of the great
Powers" They include complete liberty of
worship, tax reforms, sale of the waste lands
to needy inhabitants and the expenditure of
money to improve the country. In addition
to this there is a complete amnesty to all
who have taken part in the rebellion.
We have little confidence in reforms"
granted under the duress of the great
Powers. The Turk comedies because he is
compelled to do so by the united opinion of
Europe. The promises he now makes will
only last until the pressure of the
great Powers is removed. The way to solve
the question of the Principalities is for the
Turk to leave Europe. He has no business
there. His going is only a question of
time, and the sooner the better. There is
nothing in the Ottoman system that makes
its tolerance in Europe desirable. And the
fact that Christian race, with glorious
history like the inhabitants of the provinces,
should be under dominion with which they
have no sympathy is a scandal. As to the
future of Turkey no one can prophesy. 1t
seems as if the historic land of the Lower
Danube is to be the scene of events in our
own time as important as those which made
it memorable in the past But whatever
may be in store for the Principalities we
trust that the time is not far distant when
the power of the Turk will come to an end
in Europe.
