Revival Meetings..

One Of the largest congregations Of the week
assembled in the Congregational church on We'd
nesday evening, aud the sermon by Rev. DR.. But
Ter was one of the most logical and impressive of
toe SCI les thus far; the central thought of which
was that condemnation is the result .! unwilling
ness on the part Of the sinner to accept the terms
Of salvation, rather than account of sin itself
rs remedy has been provided, it is the duty Of
all to avail themselves of it. Varied and pertinent
illustrations were employed to give point and
force TO the argument. Supplementary to the eX-
crcises IN the church, an inquiry meeting was held
10 the vestry which was attended by a large num-
Der of young gentlemen and ladies, as well as
those of msturer years. anxious to engage in the
service of the Master. Conversations, remarks,
prayers and singing occupied the time proftably
until the hour for closing.
Fast day services were held in the Baptist
church according to appointment on Thursday
forenoon and after the reading Of several Scrip
turc passages from the book Of David, and re-
marks suited to the occasion by Rev. Mr.. New
combe, prayers were offered by Rev. Messrs.
LeIacheuer, Crane, Fuller, Butler, Ncwcombe
and others, and remarks and prayers by several
lay brethren and sisters, interspersed with singing
by the congregation. In the afternoon the ser
vice was held in the Methodist vostry in contin-
uation of the one o'clock meeting, instead of
repairing to the South Church, as previously an
| nounced. In the evening Dr. Butler preached
| again in the Congregational church; but we are
unable to-day to give even brief report of the
exercises. All are encouraged with the progress
of the work, and sangaine of glorious results yet
in store.

The next report of the postmaster
general will contain the highly important
recommendation that some legislation be
enacted by congress requiring railroads to
carry the mails. At present, while the
post Office is required to send the mails,
no one is required to take them, and, it is
believed since the strikes last summer,
that the roads would be not unwilling to
accept the new obligation if it carried
with it the protection of the federal gov
eminent. 1t is understood that Mr.. We'd
dell, chairman of the house committee on
post offices and post roads, is strong
ly in favor of such legislation. It is
probable that it will be introduced at an
early hour in the day, and the debate
upon such bill is likely to bring up the
entire subject of federal. powers over the
means by which interstate commerce is
carried on as well as the limits of the
power congress has to establish post roads,

SENATOR DAvIs's attempt to secure an
honest investigation of the phenomena Of
treasury bookkeeping between 1869 and
1871 promises to be at least partially sue
cessful. Certainly discrepancies of tens
and scores of millions in official reports
deserve more serious attention than they
have yet received, aud the fact that Messrs
Morrill, and Dawes are satisfied that it il
all right will not be accepted as sufficient
reason for failure to investigate. Both
John Sherman and George s. Boutwell,
have labored to explain away these dis
crepancies, but, as Senator Thurman
pointed out, their explanations coDtradicted
each other. 1t is high time the truth
should be automatically ascertained anC

The governor has issued proclamation
notifying holders of illinois bonds, known
as New Internal Improvement Stock Ip-
terest Bonds" insured by the state in
lS47, to present the same at the American
Exchange Bank, in the city of New York,
on the LIST day Of January, 1878, for the
payment, and notifying the holders there
OF that payment Of interest will cease
after that day. The proclamation is
issued by virtue of the law of 1859. which
provides that the bonds may be paid at
the pleasure of the state after 1877, and
enumerates the numbers and dates Of
issue Of the bonds to be paid. The total
amount Of the bonds thus called in is
$644, 1880. and to pay them will require
all of the Illinois Central fund available at
that date. The total bonded indebted
ness Of the state Is 81, 430. 900, and this
will wipe out half that amount.

and the senator's who are supposed to favor
the administration are believed TO be also

would be no difficulty, but whether they

HIS FRAUDULENCY r. B. HAYES.
CMemphis AppeaL.1

I
| The initials of the namc of the
President declared elected.-R.-B.
stand for Returning Board Hayes,
and he will be called such during
his life and in history. He has been
made President by usurpation,
and without a claim to any single
honor that attached to the station.
We do not see how a person of
sensibility or self-respect could
allow himself to thus be imposed
upon people who do not want him,
and to exercise an elective Office in
violation Of the will of the people,
who defeated him at the ballot-box.
70 seek or accept such an cdious
distinction indicates a lust for place
and power and an insensibility to
shame. 1t is the self-estimate of
the man who coveted, as an honor,
to be kicked by a king. Hayes
occupying the Presidential chair
obtained by fraud aud contrary to
the will ofthe people, is no more to
be envied than the culprit in the
public pilIory. As the creature of
notorious public criminals, occurring
the Presidency by their perjury;
fraud and bulldozing, be will be the
conspicuous object Of contempt.
The filth that clings to his gar
ments will! defi!e the Presidential
chair, and for four years he will be
tortured by the sneers of an outrag-
ed people, who will from day to day
point to him as Fraudulency Re.
turning-Board Hayes. II he be
capable of feeling, it his sensibilities
be not entirely deadened by con-
,uming passion for Office, he must
hnd.in the peltiDg and pitiless storm
that will beat upon him for four
years a sufficient punishment for
the place he occupies by proven
and confessed villainy. From the
day that this Fraudulency Return
Hayes enters the White
House he will find himself al object
Of contempt and dislike to large
ma ajority Of the American people;
and an object of pity to his political
friends and allies. In a short time
he will be faced in both houses Of
congress by political opponents,
sent there by an indignant people;
to Illustrate the administration of q
man who secured power by robbing
the people of their liberties.

| While firing at the camp of tho
enemy we happened to drop shot
into coral Of jacka>ses, and the
consequent CONSERVATION and bray :
ing have been more terrific than tho
rams hons that brought Jericho
to a sudden capitulation. That a
sentence Of our editorial should be
tortured into proposition to as
sassinate Rutherford B. Hayes
rather humilitates US, even when we
consider the source. That dom
key should consider us Utter for a
lunatic asylum than a criminal is
not pleasant. That is the meaning
of the violent construction. Gov-
ernor Hayes is a man heretofore
singu'arly pure of character, pos.
sessed of many lovabie traits.
What would be gained in passing
the administration from his hands to
that Of William A. Wheeler, one
of the worst of this conspiracy to
steal an administration ? Wheeler;
the man who accepts Office from the
very returning board he denounced
as rotten through and through.
1t may be that Bayes Is q mere
fgure.head; his acceptance Of sto-
len Office indicates a lack Of force
Of character that argues badly for
his snccess in the tainted place he
is called upon by thieves to occupy:
Nevertheless he is saint by the
side of the man who encompasseG
his injury and our ruin; The idiots
cannot comprehend that the war ir;
behalf of our constitutional rights
is not against a man, but an organ
ization. The death of one Or the
death Of u hundred or a Thousand
would be no relief so long as the
system eats like a cancer through
our entire system. Let any part
remain, and tie poison continues to
corrupt and destroy.
Nothing Was farther from our
intent than the crime with which
these loud-mouthed fools have
charged US. Assassination is not
only foreign, but loathsome to
the American mind; but open
and armed resistance to usur:
patton, that robs us Of all rem
edy through the ballot, is a
part Of our nature; and to
that we appeal, and, that
there may be no mistake; the
to the contrary;
we appeal again.
