PREACHER ON PREACHER.

The lamented Lincoln secured the noto-
riety that made him President of the Uni
ted States through his joint debates with
the "Little Giant" Stimulated by like
recollections, perhaps, one Rev. Justin Full
ton, is securing widespread notoriety by his
pulpit assaults upon Rev. DIR. Talmage.
He takes Talmage to task on the score of
his sermons about New York brothels, rum
holes and houses of designation, and with a
very caustic tongue does he discharge this
self-imposed duty In his sermon of Sun
day last he declared that "The air has been
so nasty, of late, the foul vapors which have
been stirred up from the slums of New
York that it is hardly possible to draw All
uninfccted breath. There is one occupation
which never coveted, that of tramping
through the dirty streets of great city,
kicking about the heaps of filth in the gut
tiers and prodding long hook into every
ash barrel. Some people just now seem to
delight in rummaging about in the dance
houses. gin-mills brothes and other haunts
Of vice, clawing at whatever uninviting piles
of refuse they come across and dragging to
light all manner of secret denominations.
What possible excuse can there be for up
turning loathsome moral impurities in this
reckless fashion,"
Heavy blows Mr.. Fulton, and applied
most likely by all the force impaired by
your convictions Of duty; but after all,
amt YOU over-nice about this matter!
Don't your fervid defamation reflect ratl-
er severely upon yourself, reverend sir!
Out this way in our common sense way of
estimating men and their duties we have
arrived at the conclusion that the minister
Of the gospel should wage ceaseless and
uncompromishg warfare on sin and pol
luton wherever he finds it; he should
search it out in its hiding places, and the
fouler the niquity he finds the more power
full and persistent his blows should be.

There is an almost universal com
plant against the Pulaski banks Tor
paying out Mexican dollars here at
bar for some months past, and now
declining to receive them in the
same way. 1t is characterized by
many as a swindle. In an inter
view Yesterday with one of the
cashiers we were informed that at
The time he paid them out they were
worth dollar for dollar, and he
brought them here in obedience to
the demand for change, paying 81
cents for them in New York and eX-
press charges to bring them here.
That this present depreciation is
caused by the u. S. TTeasurer's eff
forts 10 replace them with u. 5.
coin. That for hundred years or
more Mexican dollars had been
worth a hundred cents, and when
he paid them out he did not dream
If any depreciation like this. He
received them long after banks in
other places refused to receive them;
but that the importation here Of
large sums by private parties after
tie depreciation, and an organized at
tempt to thrust them upon the
banks, forced both banks to decline
to receive them longer. That The
banks here did not depreciate them.
IL was done by authority of the u.
;. Treasury, after which it was i'm
possible for the two little banks
here to keep them up to par value.
An attempt of the kind would have
resulted in the displacement of all
their legal tenders for this depre-
ciated currency, which depositors
could and would have declined to
receive, thus forcing the banks to
suspend. That the banks here are
no more responsible for the depre-
citation Of and no more bound to re-
ceive at par these Mexican dollars,
than they would be responsible for
or bound to receive at par any de |
precated coin or paper, simply be
cause it was once handled by them |
ut par. This coin was not depre |
ciated when they imported and paid
il out. And further, that then, and |
for years before, this coin com
handed a premium at San Fran
cisco over American coin for expor-
tauon to China; that its intrinsic
value was and is one and a halt |
cents more than the Legal tender
American com, and would be worth |
more to day but for the unjust or
der referred to defining its value.

unlike the credit-mobilier states
men Of few years back, among
whom Oaks Ames, of blessed mem
DRY, distributed his bogus stock,
feeling that he was thus placing it
"where it would do the most good. :"
Ames knew that the way to reach
the average Congressman of that
day was by string up the gift that
was in them, and adding thereto
He smOte the rock, and streams of
wealth gushed forth in abundance
to enrich"the Christian Statesman"
so called, of that time But Gov
ernor Brown, though young man,
comparatively, seems to belong to
another era. He was not educated
in the school of John Sherman and
Schuyler Colfax, who believe In
getting all they can and keeping all
they have, but insists upon paying
what he expended while serving as
one of Mr.. Hayes committee in
Louisiana.

Mt. Zion.

The New Baptist church situated
eight miles from Pulaski on the
Cornersville road, was dedicated on
the 3rd Sunday in July by Rev. DR..
Mayfeld of Nashville, and Rev. Mr..
Thompson of Shelbyville. A very
large assembly attended the dedica-
ton. The house, which will seat
near five hundred persons, was
packed to its utmost capacity, and
not more than one third of the peo-
pie were in the house. Mr.. Thomp-
son preached the first sermon. His
subject was the power of Zion. He
showed what influence the church
had over civilization, science and
education, and what a mighty pow
er it exerts in elevating and saving
our race. After the close of this
service dinner was served on the
ground. DR.. Mayfield preached to
a crowded house after dinner. It
is enough to say that he acquitted
himself with great credit and gave
general satisfaction to the audience.
DR.. Mayfleld remained and preached
several days and nights, with great
power and effect. He was com
PEELED to leave US on Wednesday
evening. Rev. MIR. Evans, the pas

complished were groundless. The
result was about twenty additions
to the church. b. L.
