Schools, and that our Sabbath Schools
are nurseries of the Lord, and that any
and all means ought to be improved to
make them more effective, therefore, be il
Resolred. That We who are assembled
here this day will try to impress upon
the schools with which we are connected
the Importance of attending these con-
ventions and will do all in our power to
make them a suceess-that the name OF

interest in our schools that We have great
reason to thank God and take courage.
Resoived, That we only give expression
to the feeling of gratitude yelling up in
our hearts to the good people of Derby,
for the cordial welcome. the kind greet.
ing, and the ample hospitality which
they have extended to US upon this oc-

ReSolced, That we heartily tender oul
sincere thanks to Prof. Allen for hi:

The closing address of Rev. f. p

Very Bad for Joe Bradley. Additional
Evidence


There is no reasonable doubt but that
Justice Bradley's honest opinion was that
the Florida electors rightfully belonged to
Mr. Tilden and that those who called on
him during the night induced him to
change. 1t now comes to light that such
was the case. We copy the following
from the COUingtOn Commonwealth and
leave our readers to form their own CON
illusions:
Mr.. George Wilcox, now resident of
Nevada, was the amanunsis Of Justice
Bradley, and wrote his decision 10 the
Florida case, which he asserts was 20 far
favorable to Mr.. Tilden as to dictate that
bis vote would be cast in 1ilden's behalf
Mr.. Wilcox is young lawyer, and a re-
publican, as far as his affinity goes. In a
conversation with relative-Mr. W. L.
Rockwell, Of St. Louis-he expressed his
utter astoDshment at the fina vote of old
Joe, after the opinion he had dictated.
MIR. Wilcox also cOrrobOrates the state
ment of the Sun regarding the callers in
carriages upon that eyentful evening He
himself was not present at the interview,
for he was enjoying cosy cigar in an ante
room, while the arguments which induced
the righteous Judge to change his mind
were going on.
So vile conspiracy, like murder. will
out, and the scoundrels who have de-
frauded nation. and made the republic a
by-wOrd of scorn, will meet their deserts
IT not at this time, in the future execra-
ton of posterity.

NATURES TRIUMPH Nature, ia her
luxuriance, has clothed the bills and the
daIes with herb and shrub, whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific and inquiripg mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifics for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable IN their nature, and while
Qulnine has been accepted as the only re-
medy for one class. the extract OF the bn.
chu plant is rapidly taking its place as a SOW
ereign remedy for other OF those ills affliet
humanity, The type Of disease to which
it is remedial is broad one, and its mani
testatlons are legion. but it may be started
IN general terms that all diseases of the
urinary organs, whether caused by climate,
irregularlty. or self-generated, submit at
once to the operation of its power. Helm
holds Buchu for all such complaints. Is the
result OF long research, and is ackpowlede.
ed superior to all other preparations.

A cOnRling View of the President.
From the Albany Express.

From the Albany Express.
We write in no spirit of unfriendliness
toward President Hayes, who, although he
makes a good many foolish and soft"
speeches, is. as we believe, a man who
means well by bis country. But he is GER
tainly making mistakes. He is too much
under the control of Evarts. who hasn't
been a genuine republican for twenty
years. Too much under the control of
Schurz. who has belonged to all parties,
and usually to the one that has paid him
best Too much under the control Of poor
old Key,who was never republican at all.
We in New York can better afford to stand
by Senator Conkling, who is far safer
and more prudent party leader than Presi-
dent Hayes. Let us by all means speak
out" at the state convention-and with no
uncertain sound, either.
