EASTERN STATES.

New YonK, Jan. 29.-Gold clos I'D to-
day at ~.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. - The over
whelm,ng vote of 174 against 80. by
which the house to-day adopted Ba-
ker's anti subsidy resolution. discour-
ages the Texas Pacific railroad bill ad-
vocates, but it is not accepted by them
as a conclusion of the fate of other
measures. They say many of their
friends are ready to say when 1t Is up
for action, that it should be made an
exception to the general rule. or that it
does not call or provide for what is
strictly denominated as subsidy. Da>
Wis, Luttrell and Wren voted for Ba-
ker's resolution. Williams. of Oregon, ,
against, and Page and Pacheco were
not present when the vote was pre>
sented.
A meeting of the members of the
house greenback and silver association,
was organized to secure reconciliation
of silver and repeal Of the resumption
act.
In the house to-day Lutrell presented
the petition of over 10000 laboring
men of his district asking for modifi-
cation of the Chinese treaty in order to
prevent the influx of Chinese to Amer
lea. Referred.
The comptroller of the currency to-
day advocated o proposition to extend
to all insol> ent national banks q remis-
sion Of taxes proposed by the bill of
Senator Davis of Illinois.
New YORK, Jan. 30.-The general
sentiment in financial circles here, in
anticipation of the passage of Bland's
bill despite the veto. is expressed by
the Tribune in an article showing that
gold goes up and silver down because
that measure will drive gold out of the
country but insare the reconciliation
of silver without adding materially to
its use here. Paper will become prom
ise to pay silver, and will exclude silver
from use. Silver will fall, and paper
will sink below it in value, as the prom.
ise surely falls behind the thing prom
ised. 1t must be plain to every man
who knows how business is done and
where active capital is found to con-
duct it that the pending bill. if passed.
will cause time of frightful disaster
unless business men protect themselves
by putting their business at once on
gold basis, as California does.
DEADwooD, Jan. 30.-A Russian died
in Deadwood Hospital to day from the
effects of q gunshot wound received
last Saturday night near Lead City.

tive for the deed is unknown.

Dispatches received this evening from

the prospects for the coming season.
The recent rains have been copious and
general. A larger area of land than
heretofore is prepared for cultivation.
A great deal of planting has been al
ready performed and much more is in
progress. Sufficient rain has fallen to
ensure the harvest with the aid of the
usual spring showers.

camille classes responding freely to re-
quests for assistance with money and
provisions. Measures are also being
taken in connection with furnishing
meals to extend pecuniary aid in cases
where investigation shows it can be
properly applied. such as the payment
of rent for impoverished families, etc.

Two fellows in Arizona formed part
nership for the business of robbery.
Their first exploit was to take the treas>
ure box from stage, by which they OBJ
tanned $40O. They spent the money in
carousal, and started out again. This
time they murdered and robbed miner.
Then mob dissolved the partnership
by shooting one member and hanging
the other. The assets consisted of two
revolvers and some shabby clothes, but
it is considered that there are no liabili-
ties. the firm having paid what they
owed to Justice.

The ladies who are engaged III
the task Of persuading the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and
Elections at Washington that
the elective franchise ought to
be extended to women certainly
exhibit sufficient political ability
and shrewdness to justify their
CLAIM to be made voters. Mrs.
Lille Devereux Blake recognize
es the fact that the salaries of
the female school teachers of
this city would never have been
reduced as they have been if wo-
men had possessed votes. She
remembers the CONSERVATION
that prevailed in the Tammany
ranks when Mayor Wickham's
administration reduced the wa
ges of city laborers, and the Gag
erness with which the Board of
Aldermen and the General Com
mittee fastened to put on record
their condemnation of such a
policy. No such anxiety was
manifested over the reduction of
the female teachers salaries, but
then the gentleman who works
"upon the boulevards" has a bal
lot, while an educated female
teacher has none. Mrs. Blake
evidently takes a practical view
of the question Of woman suf-
frage and recognizes the ballot
as the key to municipal patron
age. Mrs. Isabella Beeeher
Hooker also proves her capacity
as a political worker. She told
the Senate comittee that if Con-
gress would give her one million
dollars she would soon secure
for the fair sex the privileges the
suffragists demand. Isabella evil

ing about and to whom she was

When it is desired to examine

When it is desired to examine
a small object and a microscope
is not at hand, an extempore
one may be quickly made by
filing two small white bottles
(such as homeopathic medicines
are put up in will do) with wa
ter or other clear liquid. Cross
these at right angles over one
another, and look at the object
through the cross, when it will
be seen considerably magnified.

In Ohio it is proposed to send a
banker to the penitentiary who loans
money or credit in any manner un-
less he has sufficient money in his
vaults to make that paper or credit

not nearly SO rigid as that proposed
by St. Louis journal in 1873-that
no fire insurance company should
be allowed to take risks to an amount
exceeding its cash capital and sur.

As there were two sections in the

Future Punishment.
SEATTLE, January 3'st, 1878.

SEATTLE, January 31st, 1878,
! To THE EDITORS OF THE DIsPATcH:
Please admit to the columns ot
your valuable journal the following
items from the pen of Rev. n. w
Beecher, and thus allow him to speak
for himself to your numerous read
ers. CHAPLAIN r. S. STUBBs.
The thought Of the future punish
ishment of the wicked, which the
Bible reveals, is enough to make an
earthquake of terror in every mans
soul. I do not accept the doctrine
of eternal punishment because de-
light in it. I would cast in doubts,
if 1 could, till I had filed hell up t.
the brim. 1 would destroy all faith
in it, but that would do me no good.
I could not destroy the thing. Now
does it help me to take the word
Everlasting" and put it into rack
ike an inquisitor until I make it
shrek out some meaning. I cannot
alter the stern fact.
The exposition of iuture punish
ment in Gods word is not to be re-
garded as threat, but as merciful
declaration. If, in the ocean of life
over which we are bound to eternity
there are these rocks and shoals it is
no cruelty to chart them dswn, it is
an eminent and prominent mercy. p"

Letter from II. W. Beecher to the editor Of the
Presbyterian Weekly"
BRooKLYN, N. Y, January 9Th, 1878.
My DEAR Mr.. MORRISON:
It is inconceivable to me how "a
tional men should allow themselves
to be excited by the periodical mis-
reports of the reporters and the As
sociated Press reports based on them,
in regard to my sentiments. For
twenty-fiveyears, in printed volumes,
as we'll as from the pulpit, I have
preached and printed, in every con-
ceivable form, the truth Of the in
spiration of the sacred Scripture, the
existence and government of God,
the doctrines of the trinity, and the
divinity of Christ, as very God, the
universal sinfulness of man, the
atonement of Christ, the doctrine of
a change Of heart, the efficacious
influence of the Holy Spirit in re-
generation, and the doctrine of re-
tribulation both here and hereafter.
It is true that the question of the
nature of suffering, the object of
penalty. and the question of its du-
ration I have discussed with such
light as I had, denying that all the
light had yet broken out of holy
Scripture on various points that it
contained. The charges of atheism,
infidelity, universalism, theism, are
made by men that know nothing
and who take no pains to know any
thing. Eyes have they" etc. My
working sympathies go with the
evangelical orthodox ministry. I
refuse to be held to consistency
with any dogmatic system of the
ology of the past. I am with Cal
vim, and against Calvin; I am with
Arminius, and against Arminius; I
am with Episcopacy. and against
Episcopacy; I am with the Roman
church and against it, my object be-
ing not to build or to defend any
system of theology or government,
but to bring men to God and build
them up in holiness of life.

Forty-two years ago Leroy
Mitchell, a rich farmer Of Rich
mond, Madison County, Ky, Sc
duced his c niece, by whom he
had a daughter, but after the
child was born he denied the
mothers story and turned both
from his door. The girl grew
up and married a poor farmer
named James Num-, by whom
she had three children. Four
years ago they moved to Kan
sas, where they grew poorer
than ever. But about a year
ago cancer developed itself in
Leroy Mitchell's face; the best
medical attention failed to stop
its ravages, and death was but
matter of time. His heart soften
ed towards his child, and he
vowed to find her and place in
her hands his estate, which was
rlghtfully hers. Advertisements
were sent throughout Kansas
and Colorado, and fell into the
hands Of Mr.. J. w. Christian, of
Dresden, Mo-, who sought an
interview with one James Num-,
who lived near that place. They
proved to be the long lost family.
Last Saturday Mr.. J. B. Park, of
Richmond, at the urgent solici-
tation of Leroy Mitchell, reach
ed Dresden and brought the
Num- fumily to Sedalia, where
he furnished them an entire new
outfit. Nunn's entire household
effects would not have realized
$40. Monday morning the en-
tire party started for Kentucky.
