Bishop FOSTER Of the Methodist Church
lately made II very remarkable and sug-
gcstive statement. He said that the con
fcrcnccs of his denomination were crowded
at the present time with applications from
young men DESTROYS Of entering its minis
try There are now more than two thou
sand Of these, and the church does not need
80 many now preachers.
II seems, too, that the pressure Is greatest
in New England where the salaries are
larger than in other parts Of the country.
The Inference we are forced to draw from
this fact Is that, other ways OF making a
living having given out, unemployed young
church members have made up their minds
10 try preaching as a means of support. and
that they prefer to seek places where the
pay Is the best
We do not know whether other religious
denominations are bcsct In the same man
ncr as the Methodist, but it is not unlikely
that they also are now getting more appli-
cations than formerly for the privilege of
preaching their doctrines. We certainly do
not see of late so many urgent calls upon
young mer To choose the profession of the
ministry as used to appear in their organs
In the Old days it was hard to get enough Of
them TO supply the demand, and the theo-
logical schools mourned their untitled
benches.
The Zions Herald, n Methodist paper,
speaks kindly to the throng of aspirants
for ministerial functions. compassiOnatcs
them on their i'll luck in not getting the
places they seek. and advises them, while
they are waiting for vacancies, to secure a
thorough ministerial education. Probably,
however, they are not able TO wait. What
they wish is immediate employment, and
they fancy that that Of the ministry is the
most desirable which now offers.
There is much food for reflection in tho
statement of Bishop FOSTER and the condi-
ton OF things it implies.

There have been few criminal trials in
modern times OF so great significance as
that which has just been concluded at Now
Orleans Gen. ANDERSON was indicted for
forging returns at the last Presidential cleo
ton. He has been convicted The figures
for the Democratic candi lates were dimin-
ished, and those for the Republican candi
dates correspondingly augmented. This
fact has now been judicially determined by
u court and jury.
The testimony in the case was ovcrwhelm-
fngly strong for the prosecution; and yet
from the circumstance that there were two
colOred men on the jury some persons APP
pretended a mistlial. But after an absence
from the court room If only forty minutes
the jury returned. having agreed in that
short space OF time, and on being polled
they all stood by their verdict They
united in a recommendation of the prisoner
to mercy, which shows how free they were
from prejudice on ill-fccling against him.
The conviction of this miserable man Is
not in itself matter II national moment,
nor is il Of great Importance 10 any one but
himself and his unhappy family and friends
But when We consider that he was one of the
conspirators who defeated the choice of the
people at the last election, his crime looms

Retrench All Around!

The movement for abolshing the City Col
lege and for reducing the cost OF or public
schools is good a. far as il goes, but it ought
to go farther. Our whole scale of city cx-
penditure is too high, and should bc cut
down. 1t was adopted during period Of eX
travagance and inflated prices, and is out
OF keeping with these days Of shrinkage
and depression.
The most prominent point demanding the
application Of the pruning knife Is the police
force In 1880 the salary paid to police cap
tains was 1920 year; to scrgcants, $500;
TO patrolmen $500; and to doormen, 500.
In 1864 these salaries We're raised respect
lively to $3.50, 81 200, $1,000, and $500, with
the express stipulation that on the general
resumption of specie payments they should
go back to the old figures. In 1866 an
other raise was made to $4,000 for cap
tains, 81 800 for scrgcants, 81 2Jl for patrol
men, and 5000 for doOrmen; and there they
stand now. We are very near to specie pay
ments; rents, fuel, clothing. and provisions
have gone down to the prices which pre-
vailed in 1860; and yet We are paying our
police force on an average more than half
as much again as we were then. An able

IL runs parallel with JOHN YoUNa BRowN's
up to certain point. Both Kentuckians
wore refused admission to the Fortioth Con-
grcss. Neither OF them belonged TO that

Each was allowed 81, 800 for his expenses.
Both we're members Of later Congresses,
wherein they enjoyed equal facilities for
pressing their claims against the Govern
mcnt. At this point the resemblance ceases.

The Administration Tempting Men to

Lead us not into temptation. is n part Of
the Lords Prayer. IT appears that the Adj
ministration Of Mr.. HAYES delles alike the
laws Of COP and man.
Some time ago Capt. BURR, Postmaster at
Wcstport, Connecticut, was convicted of
violating the Postal law, and fined enc hun
drcd dollars. His offence consisted in dis
tributing two hundred circulars for one dol
lar, aud selling two hundred thrce-ccnt
stamps for five dollars He was tempted To
do this by one A. b. SprRLING, who came
into the Post Office Mt Westport and enlisted
the sympathy of Capt. BURR by represent
ing himself as an advertising agcn-in dis
tress. This SPURLISG afterward turned out
to he a travelling spy in the service Of the
Post Once Department. warrant .has
been issued by the State authorities against
SPURLINd for obtaining goods by false
prctenccs, and he has been arrested and
held to bail. He is defended by the Depart
mcnt Of Injustice at Washington.
One would suppose that If there hc any
thing on earth which the Administration
should abstain from, it is tempting it, own
officers to commit crimes. The crime by
which this Administration came into exist
cnce was bad enough, without extending a
net of temptation and school OF crime all
over the country.

Whom the Fortloth Congress refused to adj

Eighth District of Kentucky. His record,
like JoHN YoUNG BRowN's, was hunted mp
