Silver Certificates in Circulation.

A Washington dispatch an
nouaces that the silver certificates
bid fair to take the place of the
standard dollar to a very great ex-
tent. In paying out ten per cent
of checks in silver dollars, the
treasurer is generally faced with
the demand for certificates in their
stead. This is especially the case
with banks. The banks then pay
them out over their counter the
same as greenbacks. In this way
a large amount of silver certificates
have got into circulation in this
city. The silver certificate is about
the same size as the greenback and
just as convenient. 1t passes read
lily in all quarters where it is
known. The experience with the
silver dollar will doubtless be the
same elsewhere, the substitution
for it to a great extent of the Ger
tificate. In this way a new form
of currency will rapidly come into
general circulation.

Jews and Methodists.

At meeting of the Congregation
Emanuel, held at the Synagogue,
upon the recommendation of the
Rabbi, DR.. BEN, the use of the Syn
agogue, with lights and fuel, all
free, was rendered, by a unanimous
vote, to the Lamar street Methodist
Church congregation to hold their
services until such time as they can
rebLild their house of worship,
which they had the misfortune to
lose by fire Saturday morning last.
The Synagogue was rendered for
tie church services, and the school
room for the Sabbath school. This
is indeed a rare example of reli-
glous liberality and good will, and
our Hebrew friends are to be com
mended for it. 1t can not fail to
be properly appreciated by the
Methodists interested. We are IN
informed if the offer has been &C
cepted.- Dallas Texas Herald.
A similar case occurred in Nash
vile when McKendre was burned.
The Jewish Synagogue was offered,
and was accepted by the Mckenzie
congregation.

Supernumerary Noticed.


An article appeared in your issue
of Oct. Both, signed Sapernumer
airy. l have nothing to say in ref
erence to the brothers. ground of
complaint. In his article he tells
us that he expects to join another
communion. To that point l turn
my attention.
l hold that q man shold net in
herit his creed as he does his prop
erty. Religion, in it's doctrinal
teachings, is too grave a matter for
one to have no conviction upon.
A Church should have declaration
of principles, and a minister of that
church should subscribe to those
principles. Positiveness of belief
is necessary to a Christian minis
ter. He must be a man of pro-
nounced religious principle.
l take it for granted that the
brother was not driven vie tornais
into the Methodist Church, but that
he is a member and minister of the
same, from principle and choice.
1t is very evident that something
has gone wrong with him. Can that
wrong, no matter what it may be,
change his religious opinions? If
his religious opinions are net
changed, how can he join another
communion with, sacrificing prIn-
ciple? II he jCi. another com
muDion and his religious opinions
remain unchanged, he is certainly
false to him self and the Church
which he Joins. Is the man who
does violence to his conscience by
the sacrifice of religious principle, a
fit subject for &ny communion?
do not see how a man car be
this to day, and that to morrow, and
nothing next day. Will the brother
allow his sensitive spirit TO override
his religious faith and principle?

From Rev. T. J, Duncan.

We make the following extract
from a letter written to the Clarks-
vile Chronicle by Rev. t. j. Dun
can:
When a man tells his friends
howdy and goodbye in the same
breath, he feels like writing to them
when he gets home. Methodism
has power to snatch it's preachers
away from a sumptuous meal when
he is not more than half done eat
ing, though the stationed preacher
in GAINESVILLE looks as if he had
been allowed full time, and given
several courses. left Pulaski with
my family on the 2Sth, and arrived
here the same day. The tokens of
love, on leaving Pulaski, and tokens
of welcome on arriving at Columbia
have given fresh impulse to my
purpose to live and die Methodist
preacher.
L do think that of all the institu.
tions under the sun a Bishops Cab
met touches more hearts than any
other. A Bishop can stand up and
read a slip that would not fill more
than half a column in the Chronicle
and touch forty thousand hearts in
Middle Tennessee. And just such
a stir of clerical gents as he can
produce! Good clothes are ward
ROBBED; superannuated duds are re
surrected; goods boxes, barrels,
sewing machines, bedsteads and
broken chairs compose the Ology OF
the hour, while hypostatic union,
evolution, Spencerian and Darwin
ian theories are regulated to the
top SHELF" as DR.. Summers would
say.
The tenderest tie that the Bishop
severed at the last Conference was
that which had bound me for two
years to your present pastor, Rev.
j. d. Barbee. OF his preaching
ability l will not write. Your peo-
pie have heard him ere this, and
that is enough. They will go again
and as long as he is their pastor.
He is true man, genial in the so
cial circle, lovable as a child. Has
a high sense of honor, and a con-
tempt for toadies and boot-licks.
A sweeter spirit and worthier
PASTORS wife than Mrs. Brown can
not be found in the Church, but
Mrs. Barbee will fill her place.
Christ minded and truly refined, yet
yelled in modesty, she wins every
heart with which she comes in con-
,act.

Some Plain but Timely Advice.

New York Herald: Well, this is
a good time for the Democrats to
consider whether it is worth their
while to go on making idiots of
themselves. 1t is not much of a
snow storm, but it is enough to
srow them under once more. The
Republican majorities are not large
it is well for the Republican lead
ers to remember that fact. In
Maine, in Ohio, in New York, in
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the Re-
publicans carry elections, but with
intense and exhausting efforts, and
after all by small majorities. Their
hold on the country is not secure
by any means. A strong Demo.
cratic candidate next year, on a
sound and honest platform, would
give them trouble and might defeat
them. They ought to see that
their present sectional attitude and
policy are not satisfactory to the
people. In spite of their utmost
efforts they have not decreased the
of doubtful States this
year, and they still depend upon
Democratic lollies to help them.
To be sure, long experience has
taught them that this is a pretty
sure card in their hands, and they
will probably return to Washing
ton next month determined to "stir
up the Democrats" again, and thus
lay in a store of campaign thunder
for 1880.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-The Sun
this morning publishes revised re-
turns from many counties in the
State which show the following re-
suit: Potter, Democrat, Lieutenant
Governor, 1881 majority; Mackin,
Democrat, Treasurer, 1902 MAORI
ty; Horatio Seymour, Jr., Demo
crat, Engineer and Surveyor, $3.50
majority; Carr, Republican, Score
tary of State, 673 majority; Ward,

closeness of some of the results it is
plain that the official count alone
can determine who are elected.
