An U~nrepentant Sinner.

About four years ago there resided in Oswego.
n. Y, a man who was considered an extremely
hard character, as all efforts to reform him had
failed. His wicked course was temporarily sus.
pended by a protracted fit of sickness, which
brought him to deaths door. The physician pro-
nounced the case hopeless, and limited that if he
desired TO make his peace with Heaven, a clergy
man should be sent for. Old Brown, as we shall
call this incorrigible sinner, reluctantly assented,
on condition that two clergymen be brought.
When the two divines entered the sick chamber,
Brown requested that his bed be drawn to the
center of the room. and that a clergyman take
his place at each side OF it. His friends had as
sembled in the room, for they expected to hear a
startling confession. The c~lergymen took their
places as requested, one on each side of the sui
ferer. As Brown continued silent for a long
time, a gentleman present asked the invalid why
he wished a clergyman on each side of him.
" Because, he answered, 81 want to die as
the Saviour died-between two thieves %
On hearing this sinful utterance the clergymen
promptly withdrew. leaving old Brown, as they
thought, to die an unrepentant sinner. But
Brown did not die. He recovered and is doing
a thriving business in the pleasant little village
of Mexico, Oswego County, n. Y.

LABOR QUESTION,
or the Chnaman in the " wood pile"
have been affording a certain class,
who are anxious for notoriety, or
who love to live on the sensational
rather than by honest toll, some de-
light and employment, during the
dull season of the winter. Poor
John hasn't much peace, though
generally much more orderly than
many oil his prosecutors, who princi-
pally belong to that class who don't
like to work themselves and get big
pay for doing very little. 1t is the
same old spirit that has ever perse-
cuted The poor colored man, because
Of his tenacity OF life and Of his com
petiting disposition and pride to be
the peer Of his white brother both
physicall ysand intellectually. John
works, wants to work, and work he
will. This he does rather than beg,
though he gets but small pay for it.
This he does though he has to live on
smaller rations and go less to thea
tres and drink less whiskey, and wear
more common clothing. We have,
by somewhat careful observation,
noticed that those OF the industrious
Americans, but seldom are idle. AS
an illustration, right near where we
live, there settled last Summer an
old gentleman with several sons an d
three sons in law and their families,
Those men have grubbed, sawed
wood, spaded gardens, moved grass,
gathered fruit, cleared land and
teamed, in word they worked, and
have never been idle for the want of
it. The result is, they have not only
made a living, but cleared money
enough to buy and pay for respect
able property and have each good
teams and are well to do. We think
John had better never have come
here, and wish his circumstances
were different, but as our government
has had something to do in his com
ing among us, ustce and humanity
demand his well treatment. But

THE LATE SAMUEL BOwLEs

The memorial exercises at Springfield,
in honor of the late Samuel Bowles,
drew together large assembly Of the
citizens, and of eminent men from abroad
who were his personal friends. Secreta-
ry Schurz, Senator Dawes, Chas. Fran
els Adams, and others, sent letters.
While much was said of Mr.. Bowles'
character as leading journalist. the
addresses we're particularly notable for
expressions of opinion as to his private
character. Few men agreed with him
in every expression of opinion as given
on the Republican editorial page, but
there was but one opinion as to his So
cial and domestic qualities among those
who knew him. He was eminently Civ
en- to hospitality. and before he became
a man Of property he frequently said
that his great ambition was to have
a home with money enough to entertain
all his friends. The letter of Senator
Dawes, read on the occasion, well ex.
pressed the warm regard his friends had
for him. "How many times we have
confessed and forgiven each other, and
arm in arm travelled on till we stumbled
again over some rough rock in our pas
sage. only to rise to minister to eacl
others bruises. His last words to m,
shall ever remain ineffaceable on tn,
lintels of my earthly tabernacle 'Drol
on your knees, Dawes, and thank Goo
you have done little good in thi
world. and ask his forgiveness that yo1
have done no more"
The speeches of Gen Hawley, Mura
Halstead, Mr. Bird, DIR. Holland
Charles Dudley Warner. were full {
graphic testimony tosthe man who's
hand was 50 long trained to the strai
of battle.

are colored by their own prejudices. and
they will only fortify their previous
opinions. The matter ought to be ap-
preached without prejudice, if this is
possible, and such light obtained upon
the question as can be obtained from an
exhaustive study of the bible.
That sin merits and will receive pun
ishment, seems to be conceded by all
who are engaged in the discussion. but
when, where and how long it will be,
doesn't seem to be question that can
be solved. The present agitation will
probably shed no great amount of new
light on the subject. and it will be safe
in the meantime to avoid sin, and thus
have no part or lot with the wicked,
whether they are punishsd for day or
forever. 1.-The wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is life eternal"

THE SILVER BILL.

In order that our readers may readily
understand the status of the Silver bill
and the difference between the Bland
bill as it passed the House and the bill
as amended by the Senate Finance Com
mittee and reported to that body, we
give below the Bland bill, pure and SIM
pie:
An Act to authorize the free coinage of
the standard sitver dollar, and to re-
store ITS legal tender character.
BE 1t enacted, etc., That there shall
be coined, at the several minis of the
United States, silver dollars of the
weight of four hundred and twelve and
a half grains Troy of standard silver, as
provided in the act of January eight
eenth, eighteen hundred and thirty sew
en-, on which shall be the devices and
superscriptions provided by said act
which coins, together with all silver
dollars heretofore coined by the United
States of like weight and fneness, shall
be legal tender, at their nominal val
ue, for all debts and dues, public and
private, except where otherwise provided
by contract; and any owner of silver
bullion may deposit the same at any
United States coinage mint or ASSAY of,
fee, to be coined into such dollars, fol-
his benefit, upon the same terms anG
conditions as gold bullion is deposited
for coinage under existing laws]
The Senate Committee STRUCK out the
words above included within tn, brack
cts and in lieu thereof inserted the fol
lowing. which is the text of the bill nov
under consideration in the Senate
"And the Secretary of the rreasur,
is authorized and directed, out of an,
money in the Treasury not otherwise ap
propriated, to purchase, from time t
time, silver bullion at the marlet pric
thereof, not less than two million dollar
per month, nor more than four millio
dollars per month, and cause tle sam
to be coined into such dollars. And an
gain or seigniorage arising fpm thi
coinage shall be accounted for and pal
into the Treasury, as provided under e,
, listing laws relative to the subsidiar
coinage: provided, that the amount {
money at any one time invested in sue
silver bullion, exclusive of such resul
ing coin, shall not exceed five millio
e dollars

The whiskey distillers and spectators
met with Waterloo defeat in the lower
branch of Congress, Wednesday, al
though the attempt was made by some
of the Southern members to make their
cause the cause of the Democratic party.
The question before the House was the
passage of the bill for the withdrawal Of
spirits from bond, the real purpose Of
those who favored the measure being to
allow the distillers to keep their pro-
ducts until reduction of the tax shall
be effected, and enable them to have
the benefit of such reduction. The
leading supporters of this measure were
those heightened Democrats, Messrs
Tucker of Virginia and Blackburn o.
Kentucky, who sought to reduce the
revenue from whiskey to create neces
sity for the income tax. The bill wa
opposed by Messrs. Butler of Massa
chusetts, Hale of Maine, Conger o
Michigan, and Foster of Ohio. Gen
Butler moved an amendment to max
the whiskey in bond subject to the ia:
Mt tho - -
discussion this was carried, and the pun
pose Of the supporters of the bill t
effect a reduction of revenue for tn
benefit of the distillers, was thereby de
feated. Subsequently the bill was kill
ed by vote, and the effort to cheape
the price of whiskey failed.

dollar. That statement made some Of
the respectable silver Senators, like
Judge Davis, Thurman, Allison, Gordon
and a few others, look somewhat asham-
ed. for they know that it is simply a
dirty trick for Congress, because it has
the power to do such thing. But the
old hardened infationists are not affect
ed in the least by any such arrangement,
for. like the European communist, they
regard accumulated capital as the law
full plumber of Congress. The bond
holder should be feeced as a Christian
duty!''

MURPHY AND MocDY.-The temper
ance movement at Springfield, Mass,
under Mr.. Murphy, has shaken that city
and vicinity as nothing else ever has.
Over 5000 persons have signed the
pledge, and many prominent and infu-
entail men of the city, not known to be
total abstinence, have signed the pledge
and wear the blue badge, SO that all the
world may know their professions. This
temperance revival seems very Opportune,
as preceding Mr. Moody, who began
meetings there yesterday. Even
the Springfield Republican says
good words for both the MS; and one
or two of the clergy. who opposed the
temperance movement at the start, have
had the good sense and courage to pub
licly declare they made mistake, and
are now heartily In sympathy with it
The paper above alluded to says in its
issue of Tuesday last: at seems likely
the Murphy movement in this city will
change into the Moody revival SO grad
nally that no one can tell when one ends
or the other begins"

Quite commotion has been made
among the theologians, and especially
in one Of the leading evangelical church
es, by the refusal Of clergyman of
that denomination to subscribe to the
doctrine of universal punishment for the
wicked. A large number of the mem
bers of that denomination have been re-
quested to give their opinion on the
subject, and have very generally decid-
ed that, in their opinion. the bible teach
es that doctrine. Beecher inclines tC
the opposite opinion. DOctrinal sermons
on this question have been preached in
all parts Of the country, and all the
light afforded by reason or revelation is
being shed on the vexed question. 1t il

WELL PUT.-A Washington CORES

es made in the Senate on the silver ques
ton was by Mr.. Randolph. Of New Jer-
sey. 1t was simple and without pre-
tense, but he uttered some very plain
truths to the crazy silver people around
him, which they will do we'll to ponder,
and think that his speech has had
some effect. Among the good things he
uttered was this: that nobody would
venture to defend in an individual what
1t is proposed to have the government
do; more particularly the borrowing Of
gold coin at the low rate of four per
cent. and the attempt to pay the inter-
est in silver worth ninety cents on the

AN ATROCIOUS SENTIMENT.

The action of most governments would
seem to be based on the principle of
sheer selfshness, a disregard of the in
terests of all men excepting their own
subjects. This principle appears to
reign supreme in international affairs;
it is not peculiar to any nation, but we
do not know of any government by which
it is more glaringly illustrated or more
unblushingly avowed than by the Eng
lish. 1t explains the whole course of
the British authorities in regard to Turk
ish affairs. In the recent debate in Par
lament on the Queen s speech and the
past and fntnre action of the gove-Hnen!
in reference to the Russo Turkish war,
the Marquis of Salisbury, speaking on
behalf of the Ministry, made this afro
cious declaration:
1.-The government had done all in
their power to secure peace and good
government for the Christians in Tur-
key, but acould moi do anything to an
peril British subjects or their suterests
for tie sake Of all the Christians IN the
qoorLd."
What different spirit animated the
English government in the days of the
Commonwealth. When the Waldensian
Christians were suffering persecution
from the minions of the Pope, Oliver
Cromwell did not stop to inquire wheth-
er he would imperil the lives or the in
terests of few of the subjects of his
government by interposing his advice
and following it up with the force of
English arms. He sent an Envoy to the
Duke of Savoy. with the threat that if
he persisted in his prosecuting campaign
Ae would find in England an ally of the
Waldenses, and the persecution ceased
at once.
The English government has no scru-
pies against interfering in the quarrels
of other nations, but it must always be
to promote British interests. Twenty.
five years ago she became the ally Of
Turkey, and poured out English blood
and treasure in the Crimean war to prop
up the oppressive Mohammcdan power
to the injury of its Christian subjects
for another quarter of century. A
year ago word from the English gov
eminent would have secured to tn,
Christians Of Turkey the benefits aimed
at by the Constantinople Conference. ii
which all the other powers but Turke,
and England were agreed but British
interests were at stake, and these mus
not be imperiled. no, not ..for the SAX,
of all the Christians in the world," ane
) the word was not spoken. By right
eous retribution, the allies. Turkey an,
England, have been humbled together
!. and some of the Christian nations of tn
, Turkish Empire are in fair way to en-
| joy measure of independence. So ma
it ever be when mere selfish interests ar
{ made to override the claims of humani
! ity, of righteousness, and of Christianity

lodging just above DR.. Miller's heart.
The account of lawlessness in Ken
lucky is confirmed by a dispatch from
Cincinnati, which is as follows: Two
weeks ago the notorious Grove Kennedy
who is known to have killed half doz-
en- men in Kentucky, was after a long
and expensive trial, set loose to resume
his lawless operations. Last night three
colored men, who were merely suspected
of having knowledge of the murder of a
white man, were killed by mob near
Lexington. The murder of the white
man took place about two weeks ago,
and negro named Silver was imme-
diately hanged for the crime. This was
not thought to be sufficient to vindicate
the law, and last night mob proceeded
to the residence of Tom Turner, near
Brucetown. They called for him to
leave his cabin but he refused, saying
if they wanted to kill him they must do
it there. He would not submit to be
blindfolded, and was shot in the pres
ence of his wife. He was recently found
by the Coroner lying in his night clothes
in his bedroom, and with four bullet
holes through his body. In the woods
near by were found the bodies of Ed
ward Claxton, of Lexington, and John
Davis, both colored, hanging to the
limb of tree. Nobody in the neigh
borhood could give any information as
to the murderers of these men, except
that warrants for their arrest had been
issued the day before, and had not been
served. The affair occurred in rich
and thickly settled district, where the
machinery of the courts is supposed to
be in foil operation.

FIRE =!

About 2 o'clock last Monday
morning the citizens Of eur
town were aroused from theiE
lslWnbers by the cry of fire, !"
land upon looking out bright Light
met their gaze, and it was AZ once
apparent that the residence of b.
Noel, near the business portion Of
town, was ablazo. The fire having
Originated in an unoccupied portion
of the building, was well under way
before it was discovered by the in
mates, and by the time the alarm
WAS given and the neighbors came
to their assistance, the entire upper
portion OF the building was q mass
a flames. All went to work, how
lever, and in a short time a consid-
prable portion Of the household
hoods was removed from the base
hent of the building, but nearly all
bf the wearing apparel belonging to
hhe family, being stored in the upper
story Of the house, was destroyed.
The building, worth about $500,
was owned by the widow Of Dr..
Davidson, deceased, formerly a cit
iaen of this place, and upon it there
was no insurance. The fire is "sup-
posed to be the work of an incsdia-
Fy," perpetrated with a view to
committing robbery elsewhere in
town, though the design was not
carried out-at least no evidence OF
such has yet been reported. We
| will here state that the citizens Of our
town, in keeping with their usual
spirit of liberality, Immediately do
mated some thirty-fve or forty dol
lars to the family to assist them IN
restoring their lost effects.
