Now this is an entirely truthful letter. Il
states the exact facts, just rs every intelligent
man understands them concerning the
temper of the present Congress- under
the leadership OF the Rebel Brlgadlers. IL
IS only amazing as coming from Demo-
cratic Congrcssman-an official leader in the
party that is appealing to Northern soldiers 10
vote for Hancock. Poor Bcltzhoover discovers
the prcposterous Inconsistency TOO late, and now
declares the letter a forgery. HIS frlen /, me

The horror of the colllery explosion in Eng

never was quite such silly fraud as that in

SHERMAN ON FREE SaIFs.

Secretary Sherman made a neat little
speech the other day on the prosperity of
the country, and in the course of it said
some bold and true things about the shame
fully foolish policy which has wrested the
carrying trade of the continent from the
hands of American citizens, and thrown it
all into foreign bottoms. But Mr.. Sher-
man did not at the same time call atten-
ton to the equally shameful and equally
foolish fiscal policy which circumscribes
American industry and commerce, and
which builds Chinese wall around the
country, for the special benefit of few
manufactures which do not require such pro-
lection, and which ought not to have it
even if they did. The tariff is, after all, a
much greater hindrance to the pros
perity of the country in other wavs
than in its bearing upon our mer-
camille marine, and these who attempt
to expose its mischievous effects in one
direction ought not to ignore its universal
paralyzing influence. Mr.. Sherman prob
ably perceives that the demand for free
ships is growing formidable, and he is too
old politician not to avail himself of the
current of public opinion as soon as it is
strong enough to watt his bark along. But
like too many other politicians he is afraid
of the protectionist interest as a whole,
and so he only pecks at the tariff, and pre-
tends a willingness to let its worst and
most malignant features remain. There
will have to be more zeal and courage than
this in the Free Trade movement before it
can be made successful.

A TRICK THAT WILL FAIL.

We see it stated that some unprincipled
parties in San Francisco are about to steal
the music of the " Pirates of Penzance, ,
Gilbert and Sullivan's new comic opera,
by sending musicians to the theater to
learn the score by ear, and then swrite it
down. Although the piece is fully pro-
tected by American as well as English
copyright, it is said to be thought that the
law can be evaded in this way, This,
however, is a stake. The same trick has
been tried before, and the case has been adj
Indicated. 1t has been decided that piracy
is piracy, by whatever methods committed,
and If the San Francisco music thieves
think that they can circumvent the law of
copyright in the way referred to, they will
unquestionably find that they have reck-
oned without their host. There is in fact
no way by which the music of properly
copyrighted opera can be legitimately pro-
cured save by paying the royalty demanded
by the actual owners Of it.

House,.

WASHINGTON, May 13th.-Townsend, OF Illinois,
claimed the privilege of introducing number of Pc
titions for free salt.
The Speaker ruled them out.
Cobb introduced bill aDpropriating $4,000, 900
for deficiencies in pensions the present fiscal year.
There angry colloquy between Cobb and
Blackburn as to whether the Committee on Appro-
pfiations had directed this bill reported.
The bill was referred back.
Monroe explained his position az to the report on
the Venezuelan claims.
Springer contended that many Venezuelan claims
dishonest, and criticised the action of 0rth in
acting attorney for the claimants while Congress
man.
Monroe declared that orths gubernatoral canvass
had nothing to do with the report of the Committee
on Venezuelan Claims. He had objected to the in
corporation of Orth in the committees report chiefly
because he had high respect for Orth, and believed
him innocent, although iDjudicious. He had argued
the point with Springer. Springer had taken the
other view OF the case but had yielded for the sake
of unanimity and to the passage OF the BILL
and the passage respecting orth was omitted.
| Springer said that if 0rth had not impugned
| his course as member OF the For
eign Affairs Committee, he would not have
| spoken. He then proceeded to show that
his conduct in the matter not for partisan pur-
poses, but from sense of official duty He
explained that the Chicago Times had published ar
uncorrectet report in advance, through misunder-
standing between the publishers of the paper and
their correspondent here. This published report
con aimed some paragraphs respecting Orth which
tle later ana authentic report omitted he cnarac-
terized Orths being an attorney while Congressman
as violation OF the Revised statutes and disgrace
to civilization, and submitted to the House and
country whether his report is justified by the facts
or not.
Orth replied with great bitterness, accusing
Sprioger of personal and political malgnity and
enmIty. He declared that he would at a future
time make certain exposures, and Springer defied
him to make them now.
The House then went into Committee OF the
Whole on the legislative appropriation bill, the
pending amendment being Hooker's for the pay
ment of persons Informing on yiolators OF the in
ternal revenue laws
Davis Of North Carolina said such informers were
used for political purposes.
Kelley said that by striking at the laws which re-
pressed Illicit stills the Democrats furnished the
Republicans with ammunition which would more
than counterbalance all local popularity among the
Moonshners which they would gain.
The amendment was rejected, and the committee
rose.

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION AND DR..
KALLOCH.

The Baptist Convention Yesterday was
the scene OF an attempt to disfellowship
DIR. kalioch, but test vote showed that
majority of the delegates were opposed to
the proposition, and the condemnatory
resolutions which it was sought to intro
duce were tabled. There is a sense of pro-
priety about this outcome which does not
always manifest itself on such occasions.
DR.. Kalloch may not be an ideal Christian
and minister of the gospel, but whatever
he is to-day that he has been for long
time past, and if his presence in the con-
ferences of his denomination is regarded as
prejudicial to the interests of the church.
this consideration ought evidently to have
occurred many years ago. The movement
to withdraw the hand of fellowship from
him has in fact been made altogether too
late to have any salutary effect. His
church has accepted all the responsibilities
attaching to his utilization with it too long
to be capable OF making sincere or eff
fectual protest now. Nor can it be for
gotten that the act of condemnation and
reputation contemplated by his ill-wishers
would have, from the very nature OF
the Baptist organization, no authority
or significance. There is in that church
no central power vested with the
authority to discipline or expel obnox-
ious members. Every church is a law
to itself. and DIR. Kalloch's own church
would doubtless learn with something like
indifference that the ministers of other

CHINESE MISSION WORK.

There has been some church discussion
of Chinese Mission work during the last
few days So high an authority as DR..
Kalloch processes to think it worth carry
ing on, and the Baptists have talked about
it as though it were live undertaking. 1t
appears to us that of all the humbugs
which sport around this sublunary sphere,
the Chinese Mission humbug is one of the
least plausible. All missionary work is
more or less fallacious and fantastic 1t is
all undertaken in grotesque and amaz-
ing ignorance of the need that exists at
home for just such enterprises, and an
obstinate determination not to recognize
the utter futility of assaults upon other
religions precisely as strongly rooted and
quite as well defended as that which our
missionaries proclaim. But the attempts
to evangehze the Chinese are so pre-
posterously hopeless that when grown-up
men meet and solemnly discuss the
t'prospects of such work, we wonder
that they are able to avoid laughing in one
another's faces. The Chinese have religions
of their own, all of which are very much
older than Christianity. They are the most
opinionated people in the world. They
look upon all the Western nations as COM
parative barbarians. And the experience
they have had of American Christianity is
not perhaps (at least in San Francisco) cal
culated to give them very favorable idea
of its spiritual advantages. Moreover they
do not become converted. We are aware
that they will sometimes attend Sunday
school classes, but they go there because
they find it a convenient method of learn
ing to speak English, and they want to
speak English because they can earn more
money if they are familiar with the Ian
guage. Bat they do not become Chris
tians. Sometimes they develop into hypo-
critics and frauds, of the renegade kind,
and consent to appear as shining examples
for the vindication of the missions.
But they do not change in reality, and
when they have made all they can out of
the business they so back to their Budd-
hism or Sinitooism, their worship of ar
cestors and their perusal of the Analects
of Confucius. 1t is a distinct waste of
money to spend it upon Chinese mission
work, and the sooner this fact is realized
the sooner will that leak be stopped, and
the funds so squandered be diverted to
some purpose tending to the berefaction
of those of our own household.

his conviction of duty and right regardless of

Carpenter said Hill argued that the Senate might
