Condemned by precept, these runa-
ways are also condemned by exam
pile. By that of the priests of the
Catholic church, by that of the
ministers Of the Protestant Episco-
pal church, by the death of Rev.
DR.. Slater, Of the Methodist,and the
sickness and suffering Of Rev. DIR.
Landrum, Of the Baptist, and Rev.
DR.. Boggs, of the Presbyterian
church, neither Of whom plead the
wives and children, who shared
even the fever with them. They are
condemned by the living and the
dead. BY those who went even into
the grave or to the brink of it in
behalf of the people committed to
their charge, as for those for whom
they shall give account at the last
day. Defense of the desertion of
holy trust cannot be made. Th.
deserting clergy stand condemnet
out of their own mouths.

There is no change in the Eastern situation.
The meeting of the congress is still doubtful,
and the on Glook is wsrlike. England is in a
very suspicious mood, and seems to believe
that every proposition made is Russian trick,
and SO she salleny rejects all propositions. An
alarming feature of the situation for Russia is
the the Nihilistic outbreaks in St. Petersburg,
Moscow and Kief. They have been promptly
suppressed with considerable loss of life, but
may recur at any time. IL is said that Rus
sian troops have been called home to suppress
insurrection.
Paris journals state that invitations to the
Con gress to examine the changes necessary in
the existing treaties have semi-offcially COM

England declare their readiness to accept the
invitation. England still insists on the condi-

such as those proposed by the treaty OF San

merely as Turco.Rassian questions.
