of the General ACKNOWLEDGMENT 23d,
1875,-having to the best of our ability
examined all the books and papers to us

We find that the Chairman, James H.
Walker, Esq, has made settlement from

officers, including Revenue Collectors,
County Trustees, Clerks of the Chancery,
Circuit and County Courts, all of which
settlements we have carefully examined
and believe them to be thoroughly cor
rect in every particular.
A careful examination of the statute
above referred to, induce your Commits

ed to the Chairman, and that it is no
part of our duty to report the variO us
amounts received, or disbursed by any
accounting officers of the county; this
being one Of the duties of the Chair man
and we are advised that his Annual Re

half. Your Chairman, cOurteouSly and
readily furnished us all the books and
papers relating to said settlement. which
we fully and carefully examined as be-
fore stated, and find them, as we believe
them to be, scrupulously correct. 1t at
fords US great pleasure to assure your
worshipful body, that our examination
of the books, and accounts of your pres
ent Chairman, justifies the assurance
that his administration in discharge of
official trusts involved in the settle
ments, has been made by cautious and
strict official integrity. We feel it a du-
ty, which We cheerfully render, in say
ing he is entitled to that highest of all
official rewards, found only in the con

To the Patrons of the st. Louis
Christian Advocate and Mem
berS Generally of the M. Il.
Church, SOuth-Greeting:

When, four years ago, we took charge
of the financial interests of this paper,
we need not say to those well-informed
on this subject, that the prospect
was disheartening, Under manage
ment whose fidelity and ability we have
no right or disposition to question, 1t
was yet the fact that the paper had fail
ed to pay. To-day, however, though
the country has been passing through
one of the most gloomy and generally
disastrous of all the money crises it has
ever witnessed, and still feels its par
alyZing effects, we are happy to an
nounce that the Adcocate stands on the
proud and happy eminence of self-sup
port. From day to day and from week
to week, its subscription list has been
steadily growing. To illustrate, the net
gain within the last twelve months has
been 90 1900 per cent. This is as it
should be, and is ineXpressibly crafty
ing to US. The editorial management
has been an unqualified success, as is
shown in the steady growth of patron
age. But, excellent as it has been and
is, it will be, from time to time, yet fur.
ther enlarged and improved We have
engaged, as representing largely the
sentiment and thought OF the Southwest,
the services of Rev. II. Y. PhilpOtt,
who will from this time be added to the
editorial corps of the 4dg0cate, and this
will doubtless elicit a generous addition
TO the support of the paper from that
whole section of the country.
The editorial corps will consist of
Rev. ID. K. McAnally, d. D., Editor in
chief; Revs. A. G.. Haygood, Eugene r.
Hendricx, and A. V. Philpott, Associ-
ates.
In conclusion, we tender hearty
thanks to all the friends of the AdrocGte
in the past, and solicit continuance of
their efficient labOrs for its support.
Let each of the present subscribers send
US another name as New Years pre-
sent, and ours will he indeed, as VIC de
vOGtly hope theirs may be, grateful
and happy New Year,
Respectfully,

A person who helped to draw up the

are such as are not likely to be ac-
copied by the Turks.

respondent of the Standard tele-
graphed on Thursday afternoon /:
The Assured Council of Ministers
to-day decided to order the Turkish
Ambassadors at Vienna and London
to request an explanation of the
protest against the separate peace
recently lodged by Austria and Eng
land, and to ask how far Turkey may
count upon the support of those
countries.
The correspondent Of the Times
says that Austria has made no com.
municati0n TO the Porte concerning
the terms Of Peace since her answer
to the, Porte's note Of December 12th,
asking mediation. The present re-
port seems to be founded upon the
reservations which Austria then
made.
LONDON, Jan. I9.-The Daily Tele-
grape correspondent at Pera states
The Turkish delegates met tile Grand
Duke at a-Semenli, and prel-
minary notes were exchanged. The
Grand Duke then announced that
they had decided to meet only at
Adrianople, which should be imme-
diately evacuated. The delegates
having assembled, orders were tele-
graphed To D'Ismil Pasha to evacu-
ate Adrianople. U pom this decision
Benny communicated to the foreign
Consuls al Adrianople, and they tele-
graphed to their Ambassadors for
instructions and were ordered to re.
main and protect their countrymen.
