LOUISIANA furnishes a good example Of
the gross carclessness with which the
average legislator does business. The
Legislature which has recently adjourned
tried to do away with the Mofett register
and adopt u general license law in its
steal. Instead Of making seperate bill
for each measure, the two were bundled
into one act, and that SO carelcssly drawn,
as respects It's title, that the whole thing
is declared to be void. The New Orleans
Tina says that the NTolEctt register is still
in legal operation, but that the failure Of
the license bill will impoverish the schools
and charity hospital and defraud the
State otSiOOOOO expected revenue. The
State is in the biggest kind Of middle
anyhow. This laundering Legislature
made appropriations so much in excess Of
the estimated revenue that the State
Treasury has been locked by the courts
till the constitutional officers get their
salaries. That will use up about all the
money, SO that the appropriations just
made will fall to theground. tits thought
that the injunction OF the treasury will
also prevent the members Of the constitu-
tional convention which meets in April
from getting either their mileage or the 81
day appropriated for their services.

TnE Rev. Dr. Talmagc, whose recent de.
parture in the direction OF extreme sensa.
tiOnOl preaching has acquired for him such
questionable celebrity, has awakened bit
ter antagonism against himself, as to the
wisdom Of his methods and the sincerity
of his motives, amongst his associates and
followers. The charges Of falsellood and
deceit and aggravated sensationalism have
been urged against him until the Brooklyn
Presbytery has found it necessary to take
cognizance Of the out cry. Proceedings
were begun two weeks ago, by the ap.
potntment Of a committee OF investigation.
The committee met the Prcsbytery on
Monday and reported progress and asked
for instructions. The friends Of the pastor
Immediately moved an acceptance Of
the report and tho discharge Of the
committee, This opened the ball,
and for two hours and q half an
acrimonious discussion was maintained by
the friends and foes OF the reverend gentle
man, who seemed to be almost evenly di.
vided. Finally resolution was offered
and adopted, by close vote, instructing
the committee that, il they find that "com.
mon fame" against DR.. Talmage fulflls all
theconditions of the requirements of the
section in the Book of Discipline relating
to tho case, they shall formulate charge
with specifications, and submit the same
to the Presbytery, with names Of witness.
es. The 10th OF March was fixed as tho
time when the report would berrcccived.
No specific allegations were made as to
tho nature OF the offences committed, aud
the bland pastor, who was present, seem
cd not in the least Disconnected at the
storm Of words about him.

The Democratic Plans In Case OF n Veto,
A. x. Mcclure 10 Philadelphia Times.
The army bill will probably 60 to the
President this week, and about the same
time the House will send the legislative
appropriation bill to the Senate, with the
repeal of the test oath for jurors and the
modification Of the federal election law.
It's now generally believed that the Pres
ident will sign the army bill or allow It TO
become a law, and advise Congress Of the
fact with protest against political riders
on appropriations He may veto the
army bill, but rs Mr.. Hayes voted
inr the same political rider In an
appropriation bill that is now about to be
repealed in like manner, and as he is
known to favor the repeal OF the law
authorizing the use OF troops at elections,
he can offer no good reason for the veto.
The legislative bill is reasonably certain to
meet with q veto. Whenever veto comes,
whether Of the army or the legislative bill,
the Senate will likely send to the House
separate repeating bills, aud they will be
hurried to the President for his action be-
fore the new appropriation bills are dis.
posed Of, II they shall then offer a fair
election law, aifonding all just restraints
upon fraud without comforting arbitrary
power upon petty officials 10 interfere
with the rights OF voters, the President
will be at fault, and the Republicans will
lose on the issue before the sountry.
Whether Democratic counsels will DO wise
enough. 10 get the President at q fair disad-
vantage, is not by any means clear; but il
Is very evident that the conservative ele-
ments Of both parties are vastly stronger
to-day than when Congress met, and q
deadlock between Congress and the Pres
ident on the appropriations now seems al
togetherlimprobable,

This Society met as per announcement
in the Lecture room OF the Presbyterian
Church, Kirkwood, at 0 o'clock yesterday
morning, and was called to order by Ms.
Mary L. Campbell, President, Of Cam.
bridge, Ohio.
TheaddresS ofwelcome was delivered by
Mrs. Rev. Chaliaut, and was as follows:
"In Oriental countries it is considered
high honor to walt upon the triendsoi the
King and admit them to his presence, So
we claim this most delightful privilege
to welcome the friends Of our King to
his courts. What Is the favor Of an earth.
ly King ts the covenant love Of the King
Of Kings? what are the privileges OIL
rank aud title to those which pertain TO
such as are made Kings and Priests unto
God? What Is the boast OF noblest de-
scent, to the assurance Of the blest believer
who eau say, My Father GodG May his
sceptre over US to-day belova!
What mean these eager gatherings OF
women yearly in our different Presby.
teries2 What mean the little monthly
meetings in our churches? Is this a new
thing2 II Is in its present aspect, but in
principle II is old. Many years ago the
mother VI our missionaries returned from
M afternoon missionary prospecting, all
excitement, exclaiming TO her family:
There's a convert! there's convert!n
May not the blessed privilege we this day
enjoy and the work to which We have
been 50 signally called, DO in answer TO
tho progress Of some pious woman?
What changes God has wrought! Con-
verts from heaihenism arenow numbered
by thousands. Glorious tidings greet our
cans Of what the Master has done In an.
swer TO prayer during the past year in
foreign lands, His footsteps are seen In
all lands.
Has He not blessed our small gifts be-
yond our anticipation2 Some are ready
to say, he has prayed too much for those
