for Settlement Win
Southern Creditors.


NEW YORK, January 25.-A meeting
was held by large number OF prominent
bankers, merchants and other citizens
1t the Clearing House to-day,
to give support to the movement for ar
ranging q settlement between the de-
faulting southern States and tneir credi-

slded
The resolutions, which were read by
Mr.. Henry g. Stebbins, and unanimously
adoped, declare, as citizens of New
York, we deplore the existing state OF
things in the defaulting States Of che
South, and we desire to give expression
of our sympathy with the people OF
those States IN their unhappy cOndi-
ton. We recognize the insur-
mountable obstacles in the way
of the honorable discharge
by them in full of all legal obligations.
We preceive that some method of COM
promise and reimbursement is absolutely
necessary, and anxious to promote such
settlement on equitable terms, we recon-
mend the intervention of committe OF
disInterested arblters between the States
ard their bond holders as Offering
method fair and honorable, alike to
debtors and to creditors. The arblters
chosen are five bank officers. Geo. S. Coe,

Gossip About Mr.. Bennett and the
SVPrQld.S

A letter from New York to the Gin
cinnati Gazette says: "The departure OF
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett for Europe
is, it is said. intended to be a starting
point ior reformation. 1t is not expected
that he will return for long time
perhaps never. He leaves Amer
lea as Byron left England, seeking
another home. l. is now well
understood that during the interval
between the knock.down and the
departure Bennett was concealed in his
own mansion, in the Fifth avenue. The
house being connected with the Heratf
establishment by telegraph, he kept up
an incesssnt communication with his
downtown Office. 1t is understood that
the HeraIs is placed in the hands of the
chief editors, who are to pay an annual
rent, not less than $4,000 year. THIS
will leave them a surplus of nearly as
much more. The Bennett building in
Nassau street will be farmed out in q
similar manner"

Moody and sankey in Burlington

The second week of the Evangelist
in Burlington opened Sunday, with no
abatement in the attendance. At the
morning service Mr.. Moody read from
the 18th chapter of John the account OF
the raising of Lazarus. He spoke OF
the various prejudices and obstacles in
the path of Christian progress. Prayer
was offered by Mr.. Sankey and others.
At p. m, large meeting was held at
the Baptist church. We condense from
the Free Press After the singing of
several hymns by Mr.. Sankey and the
choir, and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Wilcox,
followed by another hymn, Mr.. Moody
read part of the third chapter of John
containing the interview of Nicodemus
with Christ, and took for his text, the
third verse: Except a man be born
again he cannot see the kingdom of
God" The most solemn question a
man can ask himself is, "Have | been
born again ?" There is but one way
into Gods kingdom-the new birth.
What is born flesh, remains flesh. God
does not change that; but the spirit
must be changed. There is no palmer
doctrine in the Bible than that of regen-
Grafton. But we see persons who call
themselves Christians awfully tmixedn
over it. You ask one if he is a Chris
tian, and perhaps he replies: 'T am
trying to be-" If he is Christian, he
is one, and it is of God, and not of him
self. Another replies that he goes reg
ularly to church. Well, so does the
devil. He is here to-day, trying to di-
vert peoples minds from the Word of
Truth, and if man goes regularly to
church it does not follow that he hears
the words of the preacher Another
says, lifelong to the Church but church
bership is not being born again.
Some people read their Bibles regular
ly, but that is not the new birth. Bap-
tism and Church membership are all
right, but God is not going to hunt over
musty church records to find out if you
are his. Have you been born again;
got the new life; become partakers of
Gods nature? That is the question.
Many man has observed all these
forms of religion and gone down to
death unconverted. We see the effects
of the spirit as plainly as the effects of
the wind. l, said Mr.. Moody, have felt

The Ohio Election.

AS announced last week, Ohio went
Democratic. Bishop is elected Gov
ernor by about $4,000. Democratic
figures on the general assembly are as
follows: In the house the Democrats
will have 81 members, Republicans 80,
and the WOrkingmen 3. Democratic
majority 25. In the Senate the Demo-
Gratis will have 25 members and the Re-
publicans 10, a Democratic majority of
Is. This will give the Democrats 40
majority on joint ballot. There are
many reasons given for the success of
the Democrats, but the one having the
most weight was undoubtedly the in
fiatiOn notions to which the party is
committed. There are great many
people in Ohio who cling to the fallacy
of rag money and plenty of it, as a cure
all for hard times. The Presidents
policy also soured some, and made 9th
ers Indifferent, so that the Republican
vote was 100000 less than last year
We give elsewhere comments of the
press on this result, which make inter
esting reading

Charles III. Worthen of Lebanon, N.

court at Boston yesterday for injuries

the other useless.

Three fellows stole a ride on a

the latter place, they cut the train in
three parts, for the purpose of escape,
but by wrong calculation they wreck
ed part of the train, one of the scamps
being killed and another breaking his
leg. The third escaped. 1t is believed
they were burglars, as bag of tools
were found in their possession.

Another Victory over Indians.

Gen. Miles has achieved victory
second only to that over the MOdocs in
the lava beds on the Pacific coast four
or five years ago. The Nez Perces have
surrendered-Joseph raised the white
flag after four days fight, and ad-
vanced before the lines and gave him
self up to Gen. Miles. He was followed
by sixty warriors who also turned over
their arms, and shook hands with Gen.
Miles as they passed. When the troops
entered the enemy's pits they found
forty warriors disabled by wounds.
And this we suppose ends the Indian
war until another band become enraged
and hunger for the scalp-locks of the
pale faces.
But there are two sides to this Indian
question. A correspondent writing from
Deadwood to the N. Y. Graphic, says
the city of DeadwOod offers $3.50 for the
scalp of an Indian of any sex or age.
Five thousand dollars for twenty scalps
is good wages. But somehow it hap
pens that scalping is game that more
than one side can play at. The Indians
are likely to retaliate in kind, and then
they are "savages," "fiends," "red
DEVILS" and not Christians, like the
civilized, educated and enlightened
white men who make this atrocious and
nation disgracing offer.

At 2 p. M, Mr.. Moody addressed a
large temperance meeting at City Hall,
taking his text from St. Luke ALB. He
endeavored to show that the permanent
reformation of the drunkard was not
possible in most cases without Christ in
the heart. Suppose the case of man
who has been drunkard for twenty
years. He has it may be, promised his
wife over and over again to reform, and
again and again he falls; until at last
he says, st is of no use; the cup has
conquered me-" He joins a reform
club, he signs the pledge, he takes an
oath-and yet he falls. Suppose such
man comes here to-day-twenty years
slave to the cup; he believes the
Gospel, that Christ will give him de-
liverance, he receives Christ, and he
wins the victory. The Free Press says
the address was one of the best, the
most effective and most powerful of the
kind ever delivered in Burlington.

1t is no use. The Republicans never

The Tribune, few days back, made
most excellent point of the fact that
the revival most needed in this country
is revival of public and private moral
ity and virtue, and it hits the nail
squarely on the head. Whatever is
needed in the shape of material advan-
tage is ours now. There is hardly a
flaw upon the face of our prosperity.
The West is shipping grain, pork and
its other products at a rate never before
known, and taxing the railroads as they
were never before taxed, while the
South sends her cotton, which is now,
as always before, her agricultural king.
Heaven has been bountiful the rains
have fallen alike upon the just and the
unjust, and man stands in the midst of
his harvest wondering where he shall
find the barns in which to store it. The
only stumbling block in the way of a
halcyon era for labor and for the restOr-
alton of all our broken down Industries,
is lack of confidence of man in man.

From Our Exchanges.
A WELL KEPT PRISON.

WELL KEPT PRISON.
The present managers have decided
that the prison should adopt and carry
out the principle that cleanliness is the
next thing to goodness. The walls of
the prison are all neatly whitewashed
and the cells are kept in the best con-
dition, every man being required to see
that whatever is entrusted to him shall
be done in decency and in order. One
thing we noticed as being extremely
neat and tidy was the kitchen and the
pantry, while the cooking plainly show
ed that every care was taken to make it
wholesome, healthy and clean. The
Governor, who seemed to take great in
terest in the welfare of the inmates, and
who conversed with them fully as to
their s'manner Of living" conceded that
the bread was as good as he had at
home, aud he was always satisfied with
that-and we say what is good enough
for Governor should suffice for con-
vict. The cells of the prison are all
provided with clean beds, and it is re-
quired that the same be always kept in
order.-BurlingtOn Clipper.
BETTER TIMES.
Reports from our trade centers con-
vey the glad intelligence that in almost
every business house there is decided
cheerfulness. The dry goods trade,
especially for the last few weeks, has
been simply enormous, and the cOnvic-
ton is very general that the country is
really restocking. Now, when forty
million people get out of the necessaries
of life and start to replenish, there is
no denying that their demand must
make business brisk. Moreover, for
eign trade is also picking up in way
to indicate that elsewhere too the old
stocks have worn out and new ones
must be had. In word, the world
moves. Business men had begun to
doubt it, but the fact is now reestab-
lished, and we enter on winter with
much brighter prospects than for years
past.-Montpelier Watchman.
PLEA FOR THE SABBATH.
Monday is the day on which nearly
all the live stock from this section is
sent to market, and if there is no ex-
traOrdinary reason why this particular
day should be used for that purpose,
another day should be selected. All
the labor of collecting together the ami
mails from a wide section of country add
joining the railroad, has to be done on
Sunday, and the whole county is kept
in more or less uproar by the labors of
the drOvers and their assistants. .
The reform in this thing should be made
in the city markets, and later day in
the week chosen for market day and
slaughter. 1t is not right that all New
England should be engaged in collect
ing and driving cattle on Sunday, be-
cause Tuesday is market day in Brighton
anu Watertown.-Bdrto Monitor.
