ANAMAzING STATEMENT.

Sometime we have a little of this sharp
practice in religion. A young man has
been preaching here with acceptance.
Heis a student from Spurgeon's college.
He He 70 was called at salary of sl,5O0.
Small as the pay was IL was accepted,
and arrangements made for a asettlement.
Before the day came an official called on
the Young man and said; eve have a
floating debt of $500. We shall have to
take out of your salary, and you must
live the first year ON 81 200. You must
not say anything about it, for 1t Will
make trouble" Tue young man went
directly to an eminent minister. The
pastor said:-"That is a trick, young
man, after the order of the New York
ring. The church will be charged ST.
500. and the trustees will put the surplus
in their pocket. l would have nothing
to do with the concern To the astonish-

THE COLLINS JURY excluded the r, =
porters fIom their sessions, last night,
with the intention of trying to arrive at
a verdict, but afterwards recommended
the investigation and heard more testi-
moDy from Mrs. McCann. What the
woman testified to is not known, as the
reporters were not allowed to hear her
and the jurors would not tell what she
said. As this case is one of grave import
ance, and is attracting great public in
terest, the jurors should not attempt tc
keep any of their proceeding from the
public gaze.

CAPTAIN GALLAGHER attempted to
get out of the trap in which Collector
Given so cleverly placed him yesterday,
but makes a miserable failure. He only
makes it more apparent that the COM
plants off the Republicans that their vot-
eisl are purposely left of the assessment
list are without foundation, and that the
men are returned as errors simply be-
cause they fail to pay their taxes. Only
this and nothing more. Pay the negroes

THE fiogging OF a white girl of 16 at
Elizabeth Guy, Virginia, by negro con-
stable, as punishment for stealing a
pair of shoes, has very repulsive sound.
The Northern newspapers have regard
ed it as typical Of the brutal manners in
the South but perhaps it may mitigate
their just Indignation when they read
that the judge who sentenced her and the
other officers of the court were North
ern men and Republicans, and that til,
colored constable who laid ON the stripe
was loyal man, whose heart beat tru

The YELLOW FEvER.-The spread of |
this scourage along the Mississippi valley |
is really alarming and it behooves peo-
pie in all other localities to take all need |
ed precautions against the contraction of |

are received of its Southern depredations
are really distressing. As might have
been expected, the mortality is greatest
at New Orleans, but in proportion to
population Grenada, Miss, has been the
greatest sufferer. a peculiarity of this
dreadful disease at New Orleans is that
this year it has attacked the native popu
lation, usually supposed to have been ac-
Gina ed, and even young children. At
Port Eads, below New Orleansther have
also been quite a number of cases and
several deaths. On Tuesday last there
were 43 new cases reported for the previ-
ols twenty-four hours at New Orleans

cases and Il deaths. AT Memphis . new
