Gen. Dix on Church Taxation.

The ng letter on church taxation
written by Gen. John A. Dix last Spring, is
reprinted at the request of some of our citizens
interested in the question.
My Dear Sri was surprised and grieved to
learn that the taxation of church edltices had
been seriously and even earnestly advocated
before the Committee of Ways and Means in
the Assembly. 1t is virtually proposition to
impose tax on the worship of Almighty God,
unless it is rendered in the open air or in some
building already subject to taxation. No one
objects to the taxation of church property de-
voted to secular uses. 1t is the imposition of
taxes on houses of worship that is so objected
to as proclamation of that which should be
held sacred.
One of the advocates of the measure COM
mends to us the example Of the primitive Chris
tians in regard to outdoor service, as if a par
allel could be drawn between the climate of
Judea, radiant with sunshine and perennial
bloom all the year round, and ours, in which

in snow two or three months, and pinched with
cold, even when under cover, two or three

Another says that the Apostles achieved their
successes without churches.
But these references to the habits of the early
followers of the Saviour manifest an extremely
superficial knowledge of ecclesiastical history
The last supper was administered by Him in
an upper room, and most of His teachings
were in the synagogues. The Acts of the
Apostles show that they preached in the Temple

do so, and IN athe synagogues at Antioch,
Thessalonica, Athens, Corintb, Ephesus, and

THE Republicans in Washington appear to
have got on the track of about 200 con-
tributed by Tildenites in New York to secure
The Cronin outr age in Oregon. The Senate
Committee on Elections are probing the mat
ter. A part of the story is this:
Senator Kelly of Oregon, being in San Fran
cisco, had decided to come East, the election
being over and the Republicans under Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, having had at Portland a
jolhfcation over the Ognized success of the
Republican party, in which Senator Kelley
socially joined. Both Senators left San Fran
CISCO on the same train with Senator Morton.
When not many miles on their Journey Senator
Kelley received shatful of telegrams'', to use
the language of one of his fellow passengers.
He Immediately determined to go back to San
Francisco and thence to Oregon. A rumor was
Immediately circulated on the train that among
the dispatches received by Kelley was one from
Democratic headquarters in New York, if not
directly from Mr.. Tilden himself, instructing
him to return to Oregon and see that one Dem
ocratic vote in its Electoral College was secured
With this, 1t is now asserted, that other tele-
grams were sent from New York to other per-
sons, saying that money would not be wanting
to aid in securing this much desired result.
Evidence will, it is furthermore said, be offered
through Republican officials in Oregon and
telegraph operators, to show the use of this
money. The Republicans do not hesitate to
signify their belief that Gov. Tildens managers
are more or less indirectly identified with it.
Senator Morton says he is confident that his
Committee will be able to trace up the matter,
even without the original kilograms asked for
from the Western . Union Telegraph Company

CONCERNING the Polar basin, Sir George

THE Democrats had good time talking
about Andrew Jackson Monday. One en-

son would be on hand the 4th of March. 1t
will be time wasted to search the ranks of the
Democratic party for him. The nearest
approach to Old Hickory is to be found in
the White House, and he isn't given to mar
shaling Democratic crowds-unless they ap-
pear as prisoners of war.

THE farmers of Missouri are directing their
attention to tobacco with an earnestness that
promises to make it what it was sixteen years
ago, one of the leading products of the State
From 1860 to 1870 the production fell off one
half, on account Of the abolition of slavery,
the slaves having been employed in the culti-
vation of the weed. The Missouri farmers,
growing dissatisfied with the low price of
corn, are looking around for a staple that will
bring more money, even If its growth re-
quires more care. This is found in tobacco,
which is twice as profitable per acre as corn
