FREEING THE CHURCHRS.

The past years record of the churches in the
work of debt-Daylng has been remarkable one
and not the least notable results have been
reached where the labor was quietly performed.
A report made by the Chrch-Exten-
sion Committee of the PresbyteTy of New York,
Yesterday, shows how much has been accom-
plished in this one denomination within this
city during the past twelve months In Octo-
ber of last year, the committee were In
structed to examine into the condition of the
debt-burdened churches and TO take such ac-
ton as seemed necessary. The Rev. DR.. NJ. r.
Vincent, the chairman. now reports the follow
ing results: They have raised $155,000, and
disbursed $142, 500. This sum was used in
removing the debts of five churches, which
themselves raised $4,000 in addition, the
total being S241, 500. This was, however,
only a part of the work done. BY several
congregations which did not need the aid Of
the committee debts were paid off amounting
TO $4,000. More than 100000 of oblga-
tions have, therefore, been discharged by the
Presbyterian churches of New-YOrk City in
the last year.
This is showing which will crafty
all those who wish the churches well, what
ever their denomination may be. There IL a
painful incOngruity in the idea of debt
resting upon house consecrated to Divine
worship, which our people are rapidly learn
ing to appreciate. 1t is to be hoped that the
work which has been so well begun will be
zealously prosecuted TO the emu.

ed in the interest of the people.
But suppose after all the efforts put

and scheming politicians succeed in
nominating bad men for important Of
ficers, adopt bad policies, advocate evil
measures, and we had reason to believe
that if the men so nominated and the
policies adopted would be inimical to
the best interest OF the people, then
what is our duty? Would it be to stick
by party, right or wrong, to vote for
party, instead of men and principle?
Would not honesty, principle, and good
citizenship demand that instead OF vot-
ing for party, We should vote tor men
and measures which would relieve Us
from the burdens that are bearing us to

THE STATUE OF CUsrER-Mr. j. Will
son McDonalds statue of the late Gen.
Custer was on exhibition in New York
Saturday TO limited number of artists
aud Others in the studio in Booths
Theatre. The cost of the work will be
$4,000, aud of the $1,000 has already
been expended. The purpose is to un-
veil the statue at West Point 4th OF
July next. 1t is &c l 4 inches high.
His left leg is advanced, the foot resting
on small rise in the ground; the LETT
arm is raised and bent as if to avoid
blow, while the hand of the right arm,
extended down and back at full length,
is to hold the sword The head is bare,
with short lair, and the face is deter
mined. The figure is in full uniform,
with aiguil.letters on the left breast, land
with cavalry boots. The papers vari-
ously criticise the work, and while adj
hitting its general excellence find some
fault. The New York Herald says the
statue is open to criticism in the pose
of the figure, the strained position of
the left arm, and the excessive size OF
the head, but admits there is good
modelling in the figure and costume.
