The Wrong Faith.

For sometime past it has been observ-
ed that Rev. George II. Kramer, pastor
of Asbury M. E. church was preaching or
held different views from the accepted
doctrines of the Methodist church.
His views consisted in the belief that
when person died the soul laid dormant
or slumbered until the second coming of
Jesus Christ, or the resurrection.
On Sunday evening last in the midst
OF sermon on which he expressed his
views very freely on the subject, he was
interrupted by Hugh Ferguson, men,
Der of the church, who told Mr.. Kramer,
that he thought that he (Mr. Kramer) was
trying TO lead the congregation astray
from their accepted doctrines.
At the conclusions of Mr.. Fergusons
remarks, Mr.. Kramer, requested that he
be not interrupted in his discourse, and
if the gentleman would come to him af-
ter service he would explain his position.
After services a very spirited debate
took place between the two gentlemen,
in which some very sharp words were
a3ed.
Al the preachers meeting held OH Mon
day. A committee was appointed to wait
upon Mr. Kramar ana learu his position.
During the day the committee waited upon
Mr.. Kramer, and tht tywill report their in
terview at tne meeting next Monday.
Mr.. Kramer states that the Associa.
tion has no right to try him.
The affair has created a profound sem
satlon among the members Of the church

Hydrophobia is a disease mentioned in

Hydrophobia is a disease mentioned in
a Hindoo medical work as far back as
nine or ten centuries before the Christi
an era, and it seems to be agreed that the
mode OF its transmission in the vast ma
jority Of instances is by incubation from
one arimal to another. At the same
time one of the best accounts Of it was
given by physician of the seventh CEN
tury, who divides it into two varieties,
viz, that arising from inoculation, always
fatal, and that due to nervous irritability
capable of cure. A similar distinction is
now sometimes made, particularly by
French physicians. This last seems to be
/ the theory which is applied by Some ply
| sicians to the death OF Prof Alvergnat re-
! Gently bitten by a dog in Connecticut
But the question arises, what practical
| difference does it maks, so long as ner.
vous irritabilty cannot, in many cases be
controlled, either by the patient or byany
resources within reach of medical art
Nervous diseases are among the most diff
ficult which physicians have to handle
and mental affections have come to bt
classed with nervous diseases. Peopl,

THE Cincinnati Commercial finds that
all the Federal appropriations for rail-
roads, canals, ETC., from 1850 to 1875,
amounted TO about $lo4, 600, 900, of which
$S4,000,0O0 were for Pacific Railway
subsidies. 1t adds
:, 1t results from these figures that what
the Government is now asked to guaran-
tee for one single internal improvement,
the Southern Pacific Railroad, demands
as much almost as has been expended in
internal improvements from 1859 to 1875,
including the enormous Pacific Railway
subsidies Of eighty-four millions. And
a single one of the great canal improve
nent schemes now proposed in the South
will cost more than three times as much
as the Government laid out for every
canal, highway and military road con-
str1lcted or aided by the United States
from the beginning until now.

IT Is NOT RIGHT AND WILL NOT BIZ
SUBMITTED To.-The Board Of Health
have, in our opinion, clearly exceeded
their duty, and attempted usurpation
of power in the enactment with regard
to night scavengers. They cannot de-
prive citizen of the right to cleanse his
property by any such unreasonable &C
tion. We have employed the Odorless
Company and will not dispute the point
of usefulness and superiority in many
cases. There is no question as to the
excellence of the machine, and that it is
preferable as an operator where it can be
properly used. But there are places
where it cannot effect the object aimed
at. We take no account of the question
Of race; nor the attempt to impose upon
the humble negro whose services in this
capacity have so long been appreciated.
That may be a matter Of sympathy or
not-it sinks down to the level of the
operation of machinery in other depart
ments, where the work of the hands is
superseded. But even in this matter
there is glariDg Inconsistency, if not
wrong perpetrated. To say to house
holder that he shall rot clean his proper
ty except in certain months, and then to
confine him to single company, is an
extension of authority that cannot be
reconciled with fair dealing. Any one
may see that the Board of Health NAV
use its ordinances to oppress any man
against whom its members may take um-
bragg. He may be fined if he does not do
the work, and being required to have it
done in a specified time, if that company
has not the time to perform the work, he
must take the choice of fine of $50 for
getting some one else to do it or fine by
another enactment or order of the Board
for not doing the work. This is rather
hard on property holders at this time,
and we do not believe they will submit
to any such nonsense; nor do we believe
the Board able to enforce its enactment
without creating such rebellion as will
sweep them out of their positions. Ii
looks now as if the strange and unusual
manner Of forming and organizing the
Board had a purpose not clearly apparent
at the time,

YET A LITTLE LoosENEss IN SOUTH
CARoLINA.-TheS State Senate of South
Carolina, which has just defeated bill
to pay overdue interest on certain bonds,
has decided that the pay of the members
of the present Legislature shall be 5000
apiece for The regular session of thirty
days and $500 for the extra session of
forty days-$S00 for seventy days ser
vice, or nearly SIP per day. For the first
session of thirty days this pay is about
$40 day. To pay this, $4,000 will
have to be taken from an almost impov-
erished treasury. The South Carolina
Senators have failed to comprehend the
precept, 'be just before you are gener.
ous." By voting themselves such pay
whilst at the same time they have refused
to provide for meeting the obligations Of
the State, these Senators have aroused 6
suspicion of their sincerity in calling fol-
reform. 1t is to be hoped that no sucf
grab as this will be sanctioned by the
South Carolina House of Delegates Of
by Governor Hampton. Certainly the
democratic party of that State cannot af
! ford to be placed in such an attitude.

DECLINE IN Day GooDs IhPoRrs.-
imports Of foreign dry goods at New
York during May were about $500, 600
more than during the corresponding
month of 1876. but for the portion Of 1877
that has passed the dry goods irnpQrta-
tons had fallen Of near fear millions, a.
compared with the corresponding period
of last year. Then there is less being
thrown on the market and more gong
into warehouse. In fact the country is
learning more and more to use domestic
goods, and this, with other causes, is in
terfering with foreign importations. In
1912 in eleven months the dry goods
importations at New York exceeded one
hundred and thirty-four millions; now 1t
does not reach seventy-three millions,
and the decline year by year has been a
steady one.

STOCK VARIATIoN.-The Ledger says:
Philadelphia Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad shares are selling at So,
while Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley
Railroads are selling at 284a2Sa, Lehigh
Navigation at II, and Reading Railroad
at III, Why is this thus? All the low
priced shares of the companies here nam
ed within year past paid larger dividends
than the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, and have averaged
for several years past higher prices in this
market. The stock of the one company
selling at highest price is owned mainly
at Boston, and its owners it is presumed
know its worth, and are indisposed to
yield to the cIamor Of "bears."
The presumption is that the worth Of

Political CIap-Trap.

There is strong reason to believe that
the present honizing of Grant in Eng
land has been ingeniously "worked up"
in his interest for the purpose of making
him candidate for President in 1880.
Let us look at the facts. General Badeau
and Minister Pierrepont have been very
busy in his interest, and it was known
before Grant sailed that he was to be re-
ceived by the Queen, dined by the Prince
of Wales, entertained by the Lord This,
lunched by the Lord That, and driven to
the races by the Lord Knows Who. Now
how was this managed? How was it all
arranged? How did England over know
that Grant was coming? Man:festly it
was worked up by the tiunkeys, Pierre
pout and Badeau, and their assistants
Why? Let US look for an answer at the
farewell banquet to Grant, which was
another big piece ofclap trap. Old Zach
Chandler, who was at the BANQUET, hic-
coughed out that "whatever criticisms
he Grant may now receive, full iusti ce
will be done 10 him in three years.
Three years from now will be the time
OF the nominating conventions for the
| campaign of 1880. General Sherman,
| who was hand and glove with Grant in
his military outrages on law, said. ali
you lGrantl want anything in the gift OF
your country when you return, there are
| thousands--yes, millions-who would
give it 10 you for the asking" What
does Grant want in the gift of hI country?
Only one thing. But if there were any
doubt As to the significance of this "fare.
well banquet which gave Grant his
European ''send-off' it was resolved by
Simon Cameron, who said: 81 behev,
that when he Grant, returns to us agaiI
he will be asked to take the helm agaiI
when the ship of state is seen to be goin.
to destruction" 1t is therefore quit
plai n that this whole thing of Grants tou
abroad has been planned and is beinl
carried out by the old "thlrd term" re
publicans whom the country has alread
crushed with its heel. 1t is poor trici
