From the Wiunebaeo CITY Press. !

: The Worthington papers, the Journal
and are notion what might
be called friendly terms. For some un-
known reason, the Journal wont+tex-
change.With US, but from what we can
see in the ADVANCE, it is clear that
the Journal gets the worst of the bat
tie every time. Below we give a little
specimen OF how they do it:
The ADVANCE man 8 as innocent as
a little lamb, but as valiant as a young
David.-JOurnal.
Let's see, it was David, wasn't it,
who always came out ahead Of his enc
mics? It was David who sang land the
ADVANCE man will soon sing the same
stralnl as follows:
81. l have pursued MY enemies and
overtaken them; neither did I turn
again till they were consumed.
80. have wounded them that they
were not able to rise; they are fallen
under my feet.
SO. For thou hast girded me with
strength unto the battle: thou hast
subdued under me those that rose up
against me.
40. Thou hast also given me the necks
of mine enemies; that might destroy
tl1etA tllaC ndCo ule.
| .fF'ihey cried; but there: X;aas none to
save them; even unto the Lord, but he
answered them not.
AZ. Then did beat them small as the
dust before the wind: / did cast them
out as the dirt in the street..
43. Thou hast delivered nue. from the
strivings of the people.-ADvANCE.
The trouble is, brother Christie, the
Journal is too "refined" to exchange
with you. It's just fearful on ''refine-
ment." It takes the loafers, ragamuf-
fans and rowdies of the town into its
Office and ''relines'' them, and then they
issue out like so many hounds to rowdy
the ADVANCE Office. Hatred of the
ADVANCE and ability to rowdy our
premises is the test of refinement
with the journal set. That procures
any bulldozer admission to Journal
society" The more they bulldoze the
higher they stand in Journal "re6ne.
ment." You can get up an exchange,
brother Christie, by always being OH
the side of rowdyism, ringism, coarse.
ness, brutality, etc. If you have any
independence, or if You are the style OF
man to prefer gentlemen to rowdies fol
your associates, your refinement" is
not of the Journal sort, and your paper
is not wanted.

r Rev: Mr.: Kittredge writes to the In
dependent concerning Moody's meet
ings in Chicago. On the Sunday
previous, 10000 persons heard the gos-
pei at the tabernacle. Tie conversions
are estimated at 5000. lie says, ''for
the first time in the history of Chicago
tile gospel ilas been preached 10 the
masses. I" This ought to make every
Christian blush with shame. But it is
no doubt true. There has for years
been no hope for the drunkards, the
Aagdalenes, the outensts. The Churches
were closed against them, and Chris
tian women wiped their feet on their
fallen sisters in the street, Oh! for a
thousand Moodys!
The Methodist Conference South has
been divided on the color line. This is
severely, denounced by some of the
ablest and best Methodists of the
South. One Of them says: "our church
has lost her opportunity of doing the
grandest work for our country, our
Christianity, and for humanity and
God that any church in this land ever
had" DIR. Hatfield said at the Balti-
more General Conference: "The pass
age Of this majority report destroys the
grandest, noblest work the Methodist
Episcopal Church is>doing on the face
Of the earth to-day" Thus, after
slavery has been abolished for Il decade,
the old prejudice of race asserts itself
and one of the greatest churches yields.
From this day, its power in the South
will decline and the Roman Catholic
and Episcopal Churches will steadily
gam ground.
HAYES ELECTED.
Tie accountants employed by the
House Committee to examine the re-
turns in South Carolina give the Hayes
electors an average of from 600 to 700
majority. Chief Justice Randall, of
Florida, gives it as his opinion that
Hayes is fairly entitled to the electoral
vote OF Florida. AS to Louisiana, it is
still more certain that, throwing out
the illegal vote, the State is fairly for
Hayes. The Oregon trick is 50 gross
and palpable, that we do not belieye
the Democrats will haYe the face to in
sist upon the Cronin returns being
counted. AS we said some weeks since
Hayes will be the next President.

Whether the attendance at the Centennial
celebration at Bennington, next week, will
equal the expectations Of the Bennington
people. who are talking about crowd of
a hundred thousand strangers on the 18th
and 10th. may be q question; but there is no
doubt at all that 1t will be one Of the most
notable of the Centennial gatherings, and in
numbers and interest it will doubtless rival
the Massachusetts, Centennial, Of last year,
at Lexington and Concord. The time of the
year, when the severe heats of the summer
are commonly past. while the weather is
still warm and fine, is propitious. The in
terest of the occasion extends over and will
draw visitors from a wide region Of New
England and New York The President of
the United States, with more Of his Cabinet
than have accompanied hin on any occasion
outside Of Washington, will be there. More
Governors Of States will be together than
have ever assembled. The military display
will be very imposing. The orations BY
Pres. Bartlett and Hon. Daniel Roberts will
doubtless be full of patriotic and centennial
fire. The gathering of Vermont's veterans
Of the war for the Union will be larger than
ha. as yet taken place, or will be likely to
again. And all in all the occasion will be a
NEST notable one, in the history of our
State; and all patriotic Vermonters will
want to be there

The government has pledged itself to redeem
this currency during the coming twenty
years, but the reputation Of the currency
issued during the Crimean war is too fresh
in the memory of the people to give much
value to this pledge. Nominally, only about
$4,000, 600 have been issued, but probably
the issue has been much greater and must
