OGcial Paper of Hays and Blanco
Counties.
The h,tnn m inl situation.

the Chicago Tribune says the whole
country is confronted with the neces'
sity of paying debts in currency
worth from % to 30 per cent more
than the value received, and of rating
and selling property at value reduced
so per cent. by reason Of the abnor-
mally contracted money resources OF
the time. The exclusive gold basis
and greenbacks are nearly at par with
this gold in anticipation of resump-
ton in gold alone-has changed the
measure of values 10 this country In
such a way as to affect all classes Of
property, business and labor. The
change is solely in the interest OF u
comparatively small class of money
lenders, whose purpose is to exact
more than is due them, and to achieve
this the very life is to be squeezed out
of the land owners, the farmers, the
mercantile and laboring classes. This
il the situation that will confront
Congress on its reassembling, after the
holiday vacation. 1t admits of no
parley or delay, but the whole country
demands readjustment of the old mea-
s,,res of yalues-silver and gold.

The War SEN timent In EnsihhN

LONDON, January 3O.-In the House
of Commons this afternoon, Mr., Bed
ford Clapperton Trevillian Prin, Con-
seryatiye member of Gravesend, gave
notice that he would move tomorrow
that the House, while giving the gov
ernment due credit for maintaining the
policy determined upon after the SOL
emu assurances of the Car that he de-
sired ouly immunity for the Christian
subjects of the Porte and aimed at no
ACKNOWLEDGMENT whatever, is OF the
opinion that these assurances are be-
ing deliberately evaded by the proposed
terms of peace, and the advance OF the
Russian armies, and believes that the
time has come when the immediate
action of England is OF absolute ne
cessity, and requests forthwith the es-
innate for placing the army ana navy
on war footing. MIR. Prin represents
the strong Yorophite section OF the
House.
The Central News states that Aus
tria has declined to commit herself to
Joint action with England unless pre-
viously assured that the British minis
try is sale against the assaults of the
opposition, winch might leave Austria
isolated. and that the Ministry Intend,
pending the vote, to furnish the requi-
site guarantees that the Ministry can
obtain large majority.
A very important European combi-
nation will appear.

NEARLY all the papers have some
thing to say about the late utterances
of theologians on the question OF the
duration of future punishment. While
the agitation of the matter has devel-
oped considerable skepticism among
divines relative to some popular re-
ligious ideas, it is consoling to see how
ready editors are to avail themselV es
of the new doctrine OF amnesty and
pardon, and how tolerant they have be-
come with regard to the alleged sins OF
some prominent preachers. They ale
even quoting with apparent approba-
ton MIR. Beecher's late slbylline utter
ances in the Presbyterian Weekly

vim; | am with Arminius and against
Arminius; am with Episcopacy and
against EpiscOpacy; | am with the 10
man Church and against it, my object
being not to defend any system of the
ology or government, but to bring men
near to God, and build them up in
holiness Of life.
Age and trouble have rendered the
great Brooklyn preacher a good deal
more tolerant than he once was, and he
may soon adopt Rowland Hills senti-
ment, declaring that he did not want
to destroy the walls between different
religious bodies. but only to lower
them, in order that men on different
sides might shake hands more easily

If Mr. Hayes will keep his backbone

service. Hon. j. NJ. Glover, mover OF

regard as "flat' and .sstick," and
the inevitable villain who tries to
swindle old Potter out of his money in
shares in the Galvanic Navigation
, Company, and also attempts to prevail
on Mrs. Mildmay, who thinks she is
unhappily married, to elopc with him.
The widow lovos the villain until she
learns of his perfidy in prcfcrring her
niece to herself, and then has quito
q scene with him. Nlildmay dcvelopcs
great sagacity and firmness at the
proper time, and has the villain put in
Jail in due form and ceremony. All
Of the characters acquitted themselves
remarkably well. Tho widow was
capitally done by the fair de6utaute
that assumed this role, while the young
wifo, strong in hor innocence and love
for her husband, was capitaIly por-
trayed. MI. G. IS always good sanl

desired, faithfully delineating the diff
fercnt phases of character. displayed
by Mildmay. The reconciliation be-
tween Mildmay and his wife was capi-
tally done by both. Mr.. N1cC. did Cap
tain IIawkcslcy, the cheeky advcnturcr,
to perfection. Through the whole play
tho interest Of the audience was on
chained, and the curtain fell amid
prolonged applause.
The song "Bonita" was we'll execu-
ted by trio ofmalc voices.
Atter an intermission for supper the
curtain rose on roaring farce entitled
"Who Stole the Spoons" The play
gave full license to the actors who, by
their ridiculous costumes and queer
antics, kept the audience in Il continuous
roar. After this the young people had
dance, which closed charming cn-
tcrtainmcnt.
