The National Democratic Committee meets
at Washington to-day. 1t Is composed OF one
member from each State. and its chief function
is to fix the time and place for holding the Ma
tonal Convention and TO raise money for de-
fraying the general expenses OF national cleo
tons. We presume that the first business in
order to-day will be the choice Of a Chairman.
This post is now filled by Senator BARNuM OF
Connecticut, who was appointed 10 1t by the
Executive Sub Committee after the resignation
OF Mr. HEWITT. Mr.. BARSUM l. a man of con-
siderable ability as u machine politician, but he
is not suited to u post SO elevated Moreover
his connection with certain lobby scandals rem
ders him unsuitable. We advise the National
Committee TO take a new man against whom no
such objections can be urged.

whatever that may be--and have been
informed that In n darker age they would
undoubtedly have been inqulsitors, and have
spitted hcretcs like larks. One newspaper
lapses from Indignation into argument IL
wants to know whether II is the Office of n
Congregational minister "to propagate n
fixed and Interchangeable system Of beliefs, "
or whether it is part of his business and
duty "to study and teach moral truth as
freely and fcarlcssly as HUXLEY investigates
physical scioncc."
Let poor and pous young men study moral
truth by all means, whether they are pre-
pairing for the ministry or not. The more
freely and fcarlcssly the better, provided IL
be also sobcrly and modcstly. And II they
go into the pulpit, let them be on their guard
against preaching doctrines which they do
not believe as though they believed them.
Dishonesty of that sort Is slow moral
suicide.
But there are all kinds Of pulpits open to
these young men, and il is not strictly
necessary that they should enter the pulpit
at ALL Certainly no one of them who re-
spccts himself will care to become n Con-
gregational minister II he Is in his belief an
Episcopalan, a Methodist. or Il ec-Relig-
ionist. Still less will he be willing to OBJ
tain money, gratutous education. on false
prctences.
We do not see, for our part, how the di-
rcctors OF this society have deserved the
hard things said of them. They have in
charge II trust fund for specific purpose
To wit, paying the college and seminary bills
Of ort hOdox vounp mon who are TO be Ortho-
dox Congregational pastors. They are try
ing to administer this trust properly. That
Is the head and front of their offending.

A Significant Omission by Mr.. Hewitt

Although the Army bill reported by Mr.
HEWITT contains some OF the elements of
that introduced previously by Gen. BAN
MING, others OF its best features are
omitted.
The regular appropriation for the army
failed at the last session OF the Forty
fourth Congress because the Senate refused
10 concur in the reductions proposed by the
House, or in the proviso forbidding the use
OF troops for partisan purposes. Mr.. HAYES
was indicted into the Office To which Mr..
TILDEN had been elected more than three
months before the expiration Of the fiscal
year, June 80, 1877, up to which date the
army had been provided for There
was abundant time to have called Con-
gress together to vote supplies for the
army before the money then on hand was
exhausted. similar experience under the
Administration of Mr., PIERCE was termi-
mated in three days, He properly declined
to assume any authority not expressly con-
ferred by law summoned Congress at once
and executed its commands.
Mr.. HAYES was initiating his so-calod
Southern policy, and distributing the pub
lie patronage among the chief conspintors
who concocted the Great Fraud and he
feared the presence OF Congress. lie de-
sired also TO keep the army up to the
maximum, and therefore purposcly de-
layed u proclamation until nearly three
months OF the new fiscal year had expired
Instead OF calling him to account for that
daring act of usurpaton, the House Of Rep
rcsentativcs condoned it, and voted the
regular and the extra millions required to
loot the bills almost without word OF re-
monstrance. Thus most dangerous prcc-
edent was set with the consent of those
