No cultivated layman can have helped
noticing for himself, that on religious
questions men do not think exactly as
they did; that they have abandoned
many old prcjudices; that there Isl a bias
on certain questions; that the tone Of the
pulpit has changed, that bold preachers
who try and take into account the doubts
which pervade their congregation are
more in favor than those timid discours.

Civil Service Reform

WASHINGTON, ID. g., June 22.-It is
thought that at least week will elspse
before the civil service reform rules will
be ready for PRONUNCIATION. From pri-
vste uttersnces of the President, it is in.
ferred that all Federal officers will be
prohibited from taking active part IN po.
litical manifestations, becoming members
of political conventions, or serving as
members of political committee. The
President, IN conversation on the subject,
said that while the enforcement Of such
a rule might and probably would work
some injury to the Republican party Tor
little whtle TO come, it was sound in
principle and he would insist upon its be-
ing strictly observed, and in the end he
thought the Republican party would be
benefited by it. 1t was brought to the
Presidents attention yesterday that in
the large Atlantic cities like Boston, New
York aud Baltimore, the manipulation
OF the Republican primary elec-
tions had for years been mainly
directed by the custom house
ard other federal officials. The Prcsi-
deLt said he was pretty well cognizant
of all these facts, and that the time had
come when there must be a change. He
had no objection to any of the federal
officials who thought that patriotism and
duty to The party demanded that they
should mana e the primary meetings
and conventions resigning their offices,
but they must either give up one or the
other,

IiIden Income Tax Suit.

New YORK, June PIN the suit OF
the government against Samuel j. Tllden
to recover $l50,00O alleged to be due
as lax on Mr.. Tilden's income for twelve
wears prior TO 1874, the defendant
through his attorneys has prepared an
answer, which will be filed in a day or
two. In substance the answer is .
general denial of the allegation in the
complaint. The defendant says that he
received no such income as the
government asserts and denies that
he failed to pay the whole amount OF
tax due for two OF the years in the period
named by the government. Mr.. TiIden
saws he made Q return OF the amount OF
his income on which the assessed tax was
paid, and that the government having
accepted such payment, such action WIS
conclusive OF the part OF the govern
ment for the other years. Mr.. Tilden
asserts that he neglected to make re-
turns, and the assessor, upon such
information as he could obtain,
fixed the amount of income, on
which q tax with penalty added
WAS paid. The acceptance of such
payment, the defendant claims, was also
conclusive on the government, and
barred it from any further claim. Mr.
Tilden will demur to the first count in
the complaint, which gets forth the
amount OF income on January l, 1862, on
the ground that the act OF Congress COW
erlng that period was repealed before it
went into effect.

j. g. LANE.

We clip the following short reference
to a person who was st one time known
in this section, from the 81. Louis Re-
publican of last Sunday:
The Little Rock, Arkansas, Gazette OF
the 18th contains the following: "A
man who gave his name as D. u. Lane
and represented himself to oe the agent
for l.. u. Reavis' new book, and the cor
respondent of the St. Louis Dispatch,
came to this CITY from Hot Springs one
dsy last week, bringing with him letters
of introduction to Senator Garland,
Judge Walker, Gov. Rector and other
prominent citizens. During his stay he
put up at the Capitol hotel, where he was
de,ecied in several crooked tricks, cul
minst,ng in his arrest for robblng room
mate from Arksdelphis, of $50, when
Lane returned and was released, the only
desire OF the party being to recover ms
wealth"
Since clipping the above we nave oo'
served in the Republican, OF the foiiowing
day, card from j. q. LANE, denying
his arrest.
