REV. III. G. HllCF COCK

RESIGNS THE OFFICE OF PASTOR OF
THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH AND SOCIETY-ACTION OF
THE CHURCH-ACTION OF THE So
,CIETY.
Action of the Congregational Church
and Society which was published in the
TELEGRAPH last week was brOaght to
the office so late that place for it n the
paper could scarcely be found, and too
Late for any remarks in relation to it.
1t will be observed that, though
both Church and Society recognize the
resignation, and the coming separation
neither has accepted the resignation
or if it has, it has not been published.
Judging from all outward appearan-
ces eleven weeks ago, since which we
have not been able to be about and see
the appearances, there was such a har.
monious relation existing between pas
tor, church, society and people thai we
were no little surprised and gieved
when we heard of Nj. Hitehcock's res
ignation. Though not member OF
either church or society, as one OF the
people, we have been in favor Of the
relation continuing 1t is interviewer
in our nature to prefer acquaintance
who have been tried and found faith
full to strangers who have not been
tried and are not known to be faithful
Judging from the published proceed.
ings of the church and society we c2o
mot see why Mr.. Hitchcock should de
sire to leave a people who value him
and appreciate his labors so highly
But as we do noG know all of paste :
church, society, and peop'e we must
suppose there are reasons Tor the res
ignation ard separation: Not knowing
the reasons we shall rot attempt tC
judge of their adequacy and justice
and shall submit to what seems to be
the inevitable.

NEW PRESTON. at

The Rev. F. I. Lee closed his labors
hsrethe 18th inst. He has supplied
the pulpit for several weeks very ac-
ceptably and very ably, and has made
many friends in the circle in whIeh he
has confined himself, or been placed.
II understand that he completes his
Theological studies this Summer and
graduates at the next Commencement
of the Yale Theological Seminary.
Mr.. Lee possesses to high degree the
art Of making himself agreeable to
those with whom he comes in contact,
and in the pulpit he has proved himself
to be an able and worthy Instrument
in the service of his Master. He has
also interested himself in the local af-
fairs of this Village to such an extent
as to make it seem, as he said Sunday
evening, "like' going home," when he
was comingte)New Preston. Mr.. Lee
has also, in connection with many
other good qualities, which peculiarly
fit him for the Gospel Ministry, the
happy faculty of giving good advice;
and his judgment as regards time,
place and manner of giving it, precludes
any one from characterizing it as criti
cism. Mr.. Lee spent several days last
week in Boston attending Moody's
meetings there, and he gave MS very
interesting report Of them. He spoke
particularly of the interesting conse-
Grafton meeting for ministers e1clu-
sively. He thought that all ministers
who were present at the meeting would
go home to their several parishes and
work as they had never worked before
to bring sinners to repentance. He
thought he caught the spirit, and judg-
ing from the fervor and earnestness
with which he spoke Sunday in the
pulpit and in the prayer meeting, we
think it will be Of lasting benefit to
him. Mr. Lee goes to another and per-
haps larger field of action, for man
of his ability and stamp will never be
satisfied with any mediocral position
in his profession. He most certainly
takes with him the good wishes of his
friends here in New Preston.

BOSTON, April Ex-senator Blaine,
in a telegram to the Herald says: Il

that he has the profoundest sympathy
in the heroic, though unsuccessful
struggle he has made in South Carolina
for civil liberty and constitutional
Government. | am equally sure Gov

odds for the GovernOrship that he holds

trust also that both Governors know
that the Boston press ne more repre-

SOUTH CAROLIEA AND LOUISIANA
affairs have changed but liitl6 since
our last issue.
Wade Hampton IL reported 80 be
and is violating his promises to the
President. No more however than
every one knowing the reputation OF
the man had reason to expect.
The louisiana Commission lets but
little of it's doings come TO the surface
1t would seem however that it is max
ing slow progress in the wrong way
Governor Packard has written an
able and fo.cible letter to the Presi-
dent in relation to what The Commiss.
toner's are doing under theig instruc.
lions. He closes as follows:
/ respectfully submit that questions
at issue in Louisiana cannot be dispos-
ed Of by mere expedients. The Claims
of individuals to office are of little con.
sequence when weighed against the
rights and liberty OF a majority of The
people. If lawful government in
Louisiana can be overthrown by domes-
tic violence with the consent of The
federal government, originally called
into existence Tor the express purpose
amongst others of preventing such
occurrence, what state in the union may
not hereac ter be subject to similar
revolutions? Are the American
people willing to see this precedent
established
Earnestly requesting your immediate
action on the facts presented, / have the
honor TO be very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
S. B. PACKARD, Governor.
The effort of the Commissioners seems
to be to get a quorum in both Senate
and House of acknowledged legally
elected members into the Nichols Leg.
islature and thus constitute the Mich.
oils Legislature the legal Legislature
eparatory to the withdrawal of the
United States troops from the Capitol
and the State. And as neither Mich.
oils nor his Legislature will call on the
President for assistance for Packard
Nichols will get control of the Gov
eminent and State by force.
The Chicago Evening Journal
speaking of Governor Packard's letter
says:
CAS- an argument against the doctrine
Of Matthews and Foster, it is abso-
lutely unanswerabie. If President
Hayes should justify the suspicion that
he indorses that at:ocious for such il
is) doctrine, llen he would justly for
felt the support of the party which
elected him. But we do not believe
he will give the sanction of his high
office to a dogma so subYersive Of good
government"
The present indications are that the
Nichols Legislature will get a quorum
of the legally elected members in each
House, be recognized as the legal Leg
islature, the United States t1oops be
withdrawn, and the legal government
of Louisiana be oveItbrown by force
thus doing great injustice to Governor
Packard ard the Republicans OF Lou
isiana as there was done to Governor
Chamberlain and the Republicans OF
South Carolina.

THE Chicago Evening Journal, after
speaking of what Blame said of Cham

foundest sympathy in the heroic, though
unsuccess eul, struggle he has made : !
South Carolina Cor civil liberty and

When he comes to speak o. PacE ard

Journal have the vote of Edgefield and
and Lawrens counties counted against
Chamberlain. A vote larger than the
.whSle number of inhabitants of those
counties, and Of which it is reported
Wade Hampton said when riding with
Secretary Evarts and President Hayes
in answer to the Secretary's question
how those counties came to give sc
large a vote, "the soldiers must have
voted there" and which brought q
hearty laugh from the President. With
out the fraudulent votes of those coun-
ties which the Returning Board, under
the laws OF the State, was required and
justified in throwing out, there never
was any doubt of the reelection OF
Chamberlain. Even the Democratic
Congressional Committee reported that
the Hayes electors were elected which
they would not have done if the vote
of edgefeld and Laurens could be
counted. "Hurrah for Hayes and
Hampton" the Journal says was the
cry OF a good many South Carolinians
Did the Journal ever hear of it during
the election? Or was it brought to the
knowledge of the Journal only through
the Investigations of the Congressional
Committees The Journal ought not
to create doubt where there is none.
