this wise: "There is a great mistake In
calling social visiting pastoral work. A
pastoral visit should Include as far as pos
sible all the family and be attended with
religious exercises. There Is no more
propriety in ministers running from
house to house to call upon its ladies, week
after week, than for any other male mem
Der OF the church. Pastoral visits are
somewhat formal, for purpose, and may
be properly announced, so that the whole
family, especially the children, may be In
attendance. As man and friend, and
Christian minister, he may, subject tc

The Apology for the Steal.

Garcelon and his Council have made an
other defense, quite as stupid and menda-
cious as the previous ones and considerably
longer. After telling al sorts of stories they
have agreed upon one. How long they will
stick to it remains to be seen. They will
probably be governed by the spirit of the
old proverb concerning fictions well stuck
to- This time they declare th vt the forgeries
and alterations of the returns were made by
the Hale Committee. This is tie substance
of their plea which, like wearlsome advo-
cate, they repeat again and again. The
necessity for it is not apparent. If they can
find fools to accept their tale, the fools will
believe it at the first telling, and no amount
of iteration will induce men of average sense
to give it credence. Were it necessary to
convince the people of Maine of the knavery
of the count-out, the best means to be
adopted would be to widely circulate this So
called defense. A better exposition of the
recklessness of statement, the utter disre-
gard of facts, and the contempt for all rules
of evidence that have from the first marked
the course of the apologizers for the conspir
acy, could not be asked for. In defending
the knavery, the defenders only succeed in
showing what knaves they are.
The burden of the defense is fiat denial of
the charges made and proved against the can
vassing board, denial which takes no ac-
count of the cumulative evidence that has
not ever been impeached. In face of the
testimony of town officers, of State officers,
of the returns and tabulations. and of Gar
celon himself, we are asked to accept the
simple denial of men upon whom the guilt
was charged and proved and who offer
not jot of evidence in rebuttal. The fact
that the count-out was based upon the
changes made in the returns and that but
for the changes there would have been no pre-
text for it is ignored. The Council still claim
that the certificates issued upon the strength
of the forged and altered returns were law
fully and rightfully issued, and at the same
time claim that the forgeries and alterations
were not made until after the issuance of
the certificates. Both these conflicting
statements are made, while no attempt is
made to reconcile them. The apologists
must either be very stupid or believe the
people OF this State very stupid, if they fiat
ter themselves men will not at once perceive
that one OF the statements made by them is
necessarily false. They are like children
who, caught in the act of pilfering or lying
stubbornly deny their evident guilt.
The publication of the defense at this
time shows that the Fusionists intend to go

The Presidency.
Eugene Hale on the Illinois Situation.

A reporter of the Boston Herald interviewed
the Hon. Eugene Hale the other day with the
following result: Mr.. Hale was asked how
things were looking for Mr.. Blaine, and his
opinion, all the more valuable for his recent
visit to Chicago and Detroit, was that they
were looking very favorablv. As to last
weeks Chicago convention and the talk which
has been made about it, he spoke with great
freedom. The wild talk about unfairness and
injustice was simply started to cover the bolt,
for which no shadow OF an excuse could other
wise be found. When that bolt was made, all
that the convention had done was to elect a
presiding officer. Neither committeeman nor
delegate had been chosen. The State is di-
vided, and the result when the convention
meets next Wednesday, Mr.. Hale thinks, can
fairly be considered doubtful. IL the delegates
rightfully chosen by the Cook county conven-
ton are admitted, then, certainly, the issue
cannot be foretold; but if, as without this
county it is possible they may be able to do,
the Grant men have the majority they may
cause much trouble. In that case it is not un-
likely that they will undertake to ride rough
shod over eight or nine Congressional districts
which can now rightfully be counted as against
Grant, and which would send delegates to the
national convention to represent their views.
In such a situation there is but one thing for
the anti.Grant men to do. They will likewise
send delegates, and their certificates of election
will be attested by the presiding and recording
officers Of the district conventions Under
Don Cameron's call they will claim to repre-
sent their districts, and their right Ito do so
will be one OF the very first matters for the
national convention to reach and pass upon.
The convention must settle at once, Mr.. Hale
says, whether the rule of district representation
can be overruled and contemptuousy disre-
garded by State convention. But on the 9TH
er hand, if the anti-Grant men control the
coming Illinois convention, as they will do il
they receive their fair representation from
Cook county they. will attempt nothing more
than to elect the four delegates at large, and
then to confirm the choice of district delegates
which the several district conventions NAV
make. This will leave the state about evenly
divided between the two candidates. "Do
not" said Mr.. Hale, doubt for minute that
tie anti-Grant men have coolly and deliberate
ly settled on this line Of action.' They do not
propose to be overruled in their district action

PHILADELPHIA Press: Senator Morgan's
joint resolution to make Congress general
returning board to revise the electoral vote
has been promptly reported by the
Committee on the Electoral Count with
a recommendation that it pass. The
amendments do not change its charac-
ter except as they tend to give the rule
greater permanency. Senator Edmunds'
bill making the State Courts final arbiters in
the case of disputed returns was reported
adversely. 1t is evident that the Democrats
intend by hook or by crook, and if need by
both, to secure the next presidency. The
only safeguard against an impudent attempt
by Congress to overthrow the will of the
people, is in a Republican majority in No
vember so large and decisive that the Demo-
Gratis will not dare to carry out their pur-
pose and overcome it in the official count.

strengthen each other in this glorious work. and the
upholding of our principles 'Non-political, nom

ONE of the most influential Virginia dele
gates to Chicago is now reported as saying
''that he had been elected as Grant man,
and that his personal preference was for
Grant, but lie now believed it was unwise
to nominate him. He said that he felt bound
by the instructions of his convention to vote
on the first ballot for Grant, but would be
bound no longer. He knew of twelve dele
gates from Virginia who would not be bound
by the instructions. Eight of them, he be-
lieved, would vote on the first ballot for
Sherman and four for Blaine. The course
of the remainder after the first ballot would
be guided by circumstances.
