Since the postponement OF the called

been on the anxious seat, some indeed
ON the mourners' bench, scanning with
much solicituds the muddled aspect OF
political affairs. Democrats and Re-
J ublicans alike have become confused

my hasty departure from the old par
isan harbors OF safety and ports of
refuge. OF the two, however, the Re-
publicans seem to have been the most
'disgruntled" by the doings and indica-
tions of the day. From them have come
mutterings most ominous of disturbed
condition Of mind, or Of disordered
political digestion. From whichever
cause proceeding, the uneasiness has
been most manifest.
Meanwhile, Hayes and his policy have
both been put on trial in the South, and
domestic quietude now prevails in the
States 30 recently in commotion. But
here are not wanting Republicans who
point to this as the equivalent of that

The political outlook is fraught with
"gorgons and cnimeras dire" in the
shape of solid Democratic South; and
this in coalition with but two or three
States in the North will be sufficient to
pass the Presidential baton in 1880 over
to the Democratic house. And, lol the
Republican party is ruined.
1t may, indeed, be comfort OF an arctic
kind, but the only comfort we can reas-
onably offer them is, that their fore.
bodings as to Democratic supremacy
are most likely to be verified. But
whether this will ruin the Republican
party is by no means so clear. 1t is by nc
means certain but that the Republican
party will thrive better by becoming a
party of opposition than by remaining O

ruined because 1t can not always be in

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of
Nazarene Baptist Church held this day, the
Trustees elected by the Rev John Ashby
reiinqulshed their pretensions and recog-
nized the legally elected board and pastor,
chosen at an election held on the 3Oth day
of December, 1876, and the congregation of
the said church endorsed their proceedings.
This carried with it and constituted Brother
David Hubbard pastor, as having been
elected last December.
The new board at once appointed u com
mlttee to examine into the financial condi-
ton of the church and recommended that
all legal Indebtedness be paid as soon as
possible. 1t was found that tho church is
greatly in debt, and has been greatly i'm
posed upon and the congregation have
grown weary and suffered greatly because
they have not been honestly dealt with
have been paying their money in order to get
their church out of debt, but the money has
been squandercd and our creditors left I'M
paid.
We have made general reform, in order
to see where the money goes we paw into
the church. We intend to restore our church
to the confidence OF the community in which
we live. We know our creditors are uneasy,
but we request of them to wait a while
longer and they shall be paid. All persons
holding legal claims against the Nazarene
Baptist Church will please address the Sec
rotary, u. +. Evans, at Donaldsonville.
