REMOVAL OF THE SOUTHERN CHURCHMAN.

REMOVAL OF THE SOUTHERN CHURCHMAN.
Our readers have known tor some weeks
that We contemplated removing the SOUTHERN
CHURcHMAN from Alexandria to Richmond
And as this is the last paper to BIO printed in
Alexandra, We wish to say few words OF re-
greet. If our feelings alone were consulted,
re should remain in this ancient town. The
many friends we have here, the associations
Of nearly a quarter of century, are ties
which bind US closely and tenderly to Alexan.
dria. Though it be not large city, it has
LARGE heart, which never ceases to beat with
affection to all who need it. We part from 1t
and its pleasant friends with many pang and
with q sorrowful heart. We cannot leave
without thanking its citizens, many OF whom
are personal friends, for the great kindness
they have for so many years melted out to-
wards rs. Nor can We leave without prayer
that the blessing Of the God of our fathers
NAV rest upon this dear old town and upon
every man, woman and child within it.
Life is too short for complaints. We 60 to
enter upon new field, though not strange
one. As We leave friends behind, We go to meet
friends in Richmond. And if We can do the
work assigned us there with the same pleasure,
with which it has been done here, we shall
feel our lot has fallen to US in pleasant
places.
We take the abovo from this weeks issue CT
the Southern Cburcbman. While seriously re.
prettiog that tho paper should b,remoVed from
our ely. and that our oommuoity will thereby
lose the society Of lis able, genial, and sooc
editor, and those connected with him IL the
conduct Of its various departments, with ell Of
whom We have for 50 many years had the most
pleasant relations. yet We feel sure the move is
made 10 the earnest belief that it is tor The
bsst and we hope the most sapeu!us ezpecta
tions Of future success may De realized, and that
the lot of each aud ell Connected with the
Southern Chrlchman may be cast IN tue most
pleasant places.

whose stability of volume should give

measured by every commodity which

manufactured articles or the products

that resumption had been accomplish
ed and prayed that after the awful
price at which il hal been attained,
there might been no failure in main
tanning it. He dwelt however upon
the grave dangers attending the with
drawal of gold for the attainment and
prosecution Of foreign commerce and
the consequent necessity of a contrac-
ton ofthe paper currency. He COM
plimented the national bank currency,
but said a better could be devised
and substituted for it. He claimed
the reconciliation and restoration to
honor of silver as trIumphs of the
"Ohio Idea" He also enumerated
the many sound doctrines in culcat-
ed by it and closed with the humer-
Gus suggestion that above all else il

While France is prosperous, Ger
many is apparently drifting towards
q military aristoeracy, The latter
nation like England is also in the
midst of a financial and industrial
crisis. There can be little doubt that
the extreme measures recently resort
ed to against the socialist will restrain
their increase. The danger is that their
heretofore desire OF peaceful victory
at the polls will be converted into o
spirit Of profound dissatis faction aud
terminate in passionate revolt. 1t is
almost certain that the chancellor,
although he may be sustained by the
army, and the widespread sentiment
of German unity will nevertheless be
confronted with some domestic prob
lens as hard to solve as those that
perplex the Premier Of Great Brittian.
1t is therefore not improbable that
the structure raised by Bismark will
be subjected to severe strains before
the end of another year. To escape
them the Empire must be made self
sustaining. The question is how to
inaugurate a sufficient system of taxa
ton without exciting sectional hos
tility, and creating division in the
party sustaining the chancellor.

Owing to the jealousy with which
the Autocratic Government of Russia
guards all avenues of information, it
is almost impossible to obtain accu-
rate knowledge of the internal affairs
Of that empire. Enough leaks out
however, from time time to show that
they are not in the most desirable
condition. Frequent assassinations,
State trials, convictions, and exiles
indicate considerable domestic trou-
BILE, The recent demonstrations of
the st. Petersburg students, though
promptly suppressed proves that in
telligent persons are involved in tie
prevailing discomfort. Russia still
bears the burden of Irresponsible des-
potism, but Notwithstanding the good
disposition of the Gear it IL easy to
see that she is restless under it,
Everywhere in Europe the functions
ofgcvernment r attended with per-
sonal peril, During the last wear
there were numerous assaults upon
soyereigns. The result is stringent
laws and the utmost activity in all
police departments With the inevitable
effect however of strengthening the
organizations they e designed to
~rasfrsin.

HARDIN ~SCANDALEXED
By the St.LOUis Times-.E Ournal

AS soon asa man begins to be
brought prominently before the pub
lie, especially for an important office,
you can always find individuals and
newspapers to throw out low, mean
and unprincipled ~insinuations against
him.
The st. Louis Times-Journal, See
ing that Ex Gov. c. H. Hardin was
being brought conspicuously forward
by some of the leading men of the
State for y. S. Senator, last Tuesday
tried to SANDER him over the shout
ders of the county. 1t stated what
none but a fool or a knape could have
done, I. e., ''Tlat as Audrain coun-
ty had not made a report for the last
few years of any personal property
that of course G. H. Hardin, who
lived in that county, had made 10
returns" And destinations to the
effect that Hardin was q perjurer.
Now, we state as a fact, and we
''speak from the card,'' Audrain
county, as far back as we examined,
has alwas made returns of personal
property, and for the last few years
to the amount of over $500, 600. We
also state, as a fact which we chal-
lenge any one to dispute, that Ex-
Gov. c. II. Hardin always did and
always will give into the assessor eve
ry dollar of his property. All who
know him cannot dispute this; those
who doubt let them enquire of the

tided over but more recently he has
acknowledged that he was mistaken.
He now comprehends better the per-
manent character of the compllca-
tons in which the kingdom is involv-
ed and extracting wisdom from our
experience, advises those that cannot
obtain employment in England to
seek it abroad.
There can be no doubt that the
Premier has given good advice. But
those to whom it is addressed may
not desire to emigrate, and if they
do, may not be able to command the
means of leaving home.
At this distance from England it
would seem to be impossible to avoid
political revolution. The return OF
the Liberal party to power at this
critical conjuncture may lead to ex-
treme reversal of both the home and
foreign policies out of which these
complications have arisen. Amid
the multiplication of machinery and
consequent increased ability of ma
tions that have been heretofore pur'
chasing from Great Britain to supply
their own wants, it seems impossible
for that nation to go on importing
bread and meat to feed its operatives,

AT HOME AND ABROAD.
America, England, Germany
France and Russia.

Almost everywhere there are either
social OR political complications, the
solution of which cannot be much
longer postponed.
AT home the bearing of gold re-
sumption on our various interests
will be watched with intense anxiety.
Its result on politics is of small mo-
ment compared to its effect on pros
perity. We are more dependent,
however, on good crops and remu-
nerative foreign demand for what is
raised than on what John Sherman
can accomplish.
AT The same time, politics will be
closely scanned during the coming
twelfth month. For the frst time in
twenty years, the Democrats will
have a majority in both Houses of
Congress. Much will therefore be
expected from that party by both
friends and foes for out of what it
does must spring the issues OF the
next presidential campaign.
