Garhling GarfeId's Speeches.


In their efforts to make it appear
that General Garfield is Free trader,
the Democratic organs resort to the
petty and disreptutable trick Of print
ing garbled and distorted extracts
from some of his speeches in Congress.
Here is one of them, which we find in
ore of our Democratic Philadelphia
exchanges:
"In one of bis revenue speeches in
Congress General Garfield declared
that "the best way of arising revenue
is to impose taxes on the fewest pos
sible articles. Our present tariff i'm
poses duties on 1000 articles. Does
Garfeld's position satisfy the Indus
trial League?
The truth is that when General Gar
field made the speech above alluded
to, an amendment to the Internal reve.
nae laaos was under discussion, and he
had no reference whatever to custom
duties. He was not discussing the
tariff laws at all, but the subject of in
ternal revenue. He has always advo.

The Democrats have made much
talk since the Chicago Convention
about General Grants lukewarmness
in the election of his successful rival.
General Grant has at last deemed it
expedient to deny these allegations.
He.says II can say without hesita-
tion that 1 will give Garfield my
"hearty support. There is no reason
"why any Republican should not vote
"for Garfield. know him to be man
"of talent, thoroughly accomplished,
'aud an upright man. l have nothing
"against General Hancock, but Gar
"feld is the man for the Office" In
fact all the leaders charged by the
Democrats with luke warmness in the
cause, have set them at naught by
their declarations of warm support.
Secretary Schuiz delivered his
promised speech at Indianapolis
Indiana, on Tuesday night. 1t has
peculiar interest. in being the first
important one of tie campaign, and
from the views he advocates, and the
position he assumes, the drift of the
campaign can be determined. The
Secretary makes many strong points.
He contrasts ably, and with striking
truth the fitness Of the two candidates
for the office, taking the ground that
the inexperience of General Hancock
in political affairs would totally un.
settle the civil branch Of the Govern
nfent by reason of the immense NUM-
Der of politicians with conflicting
views upon vital questions who would
press upon him for recognition support
and official patronage. Being totally
without experience in dealing with
political factions, ii isieasy to see the
predicaments he would constantly be
in. Another strong point,in his speech
is his treatment Of the financial ques'
tion, and he ably contrasts the well
known financial views of General
Garfield and the Republican party
and the good work they have, and are
accomplishing in Iessening the burden
: Of debt, and in establishing foreign
: credit, which should be the pride 0

And now comes down, by order of the
General Assembly, pamphlet signed by
DIR. Adger, as chairman of the committee
OF Revision, proposing several printed
prayers, to be used in baptisms, funerals,
and marriages are imperative. In
the celebration of the Lords Supper, a
form of prayer is recommended, with the
prefix "in some such words as these"
This would not be Objectionable but for
the tendency already referred to-except
that the Directory gives in substance the
same guide without prescribing the words
to be used in prayer.
Now where is the necessity for such
innovations? since the Directory gives a.
sufficient guide for the substance and
the order of all the different parts of pub
lie worship, and for the ordinances of
baptism, the Lords Supper, funerals, and
marriages?
Rituals have natural proclivity to
grow. After while desire will spring
up in some minds to add something new,
and with some show OF reason it will be
commended that the new proposition is as
admissible as those already adopted, and
so by degrees we shall have an establish
ed liturgical service. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that while the Evangelical
party in the Episcopal Church are con-
tending against Ritualism, which is the
outgrowth of High Churchism, and that
of hturgical worship-it is remarkable
that Presbyterians should wish to sow the
seeds which may ultimately develope the
same crop
l well remember when, fifty years ago,
there was only one High Church minis
ter in Virginia, and so little progress had
he made in that direction, that l saw him
leave the body of ministers in the con-
ventlon, go out into the congregation, and
bring up the minister of the Presbyterian
church to commune with the Episcopal
clergy. At that time the High Church
party were a small minority in the Church
in the United States Now the case is
reversed The Evangelicals are the
small minority. But they are making
manly efforts, and God grant they may
be able to stem the tide which threatens
to overwhelm them.
Let O6Sta principiis" be- our motto
=" Let strife alone before it be meddled
with. Let none deceive themselves with
the idea that these innovations on the
simplicity of Presbyterian worship can
be adopted without stirring to its depths
the whole Church Rather let the As
sembly enjoin it on all our ministers to
be guided by the Directory in the mode
of public worship. P. H.

their faithful obedience. AS if he had
said that their guilt was great in failing

aggravated by their disobedence to q

Stephen was addressing himself to the
Sanhedrim, the repository of Jewish ira
ditions. He had in the course of his de-
fence mentioned several of the traditions
of the Jews, not recorded in the Old Tes-
lament Scriptures, and concluded with
this reference to angelic agency in the
great scene, about which Jewish tradi-
ton was so full
The power of Stephens speech may be
Judged by its effect. His judges, the
rabbis and elders, of the nation threw
aside all decorum and CRASHED upon him
with their teeth. They stopped their
ears In token of their rage, ran upon him
with one accord, cast him out of the CITY
and stoned him while he was supplicating
his Master to receive his spirit. In de-
fence of Christ and his cause, Stephen
was bold unto fierceness. But when he
was suffering at the hands of his enemies
the greatest wrong which they could in
fiict-when his own cruel injuries were
the subject of his thoughts, even in the
supreme moment, he was all charity and
forgiveness, and like his Master, PRAYED
that the sin be not laid to his prosecutors
charge, and with this prayer on his lips,
this first Christian martyr fell asleep.

In the eloquent words of Emilio Cas-

Liturgies.

There seems to be a growing tendency
to liturgies in the Presbyterian Church,
and to introduce new forms of worship in
the Church. Some ministers instruct
their congregations to sit in prayer, and
stand in singing-some begin with the
doxology. I have seen the Lords
prayer interpolated between the hymn
and the sermon-as a kind of separate
service; sometimes the Apostles Creed
which is not inspired, and in which the
word hell is used in a sense not now
adopted. The Apostle Peter in his ex-
position of the 10th verse, I'd chapter of
Acts, understands "Hade8" in this con-
nection to mean the grave, and the Apps
tie Paul, Acts xiii IS, sc, 81, gives the
same Interpretation.
In the past summer, at northern
place Of resort, witnessed in the same
Presbyterian pulpit, on three successive
Sabbaths, these different forms Of wor-
ship. In southern Presbyterian church
the form Of worship was more novel still
