GOSPEL BoAEDISG-HoUsEs. - The
New York Christian Weekly speaks
OF a large class of professed Chris
tians who seem to regard the
church as n gospel clearinghouse,
a place where they are to get their
spiritual meals, and all they have to
do with it is to 60 up On one day in
seven to be fed. They pay their
pew rent on precisely the same prin-
ciple that they do any ordinary board
bill, and having done this they think
the tull measure OF their RESPONSE
bility is met. They further claim
the right to criticise the service, to
grulnble at anything not suited to
their taste, to reject the spiritual
food set before them, and even to
change their boarding-rlaco when
the fare is not precisely such as they
like. No wonder that the Church
of to-day is so powerless for good"
A DIFFERENCE IN BIsHops NORTH
AND SoUTH.-Tho PaciAc Methodist
says that Bishop Haven, in his in
PRODUCTION 70 Mrs. Van Colts book,
tells how she accepted The hospitali-
ties Of colorod preacher in Boston,
with whose conrl' cation she "a
bored, and 1..tr'" her arms around
the nechs Of colored maidens and
young men; all Of which is noticed
by the Bishop in the most approving
and eulogistic manner. Think of n
preface written by Bishop McTyiere
of Georgia exto'linS a Southern lady
preacher for twining her lily dimpled
arms about the neck of some African
Adonis, or of a young preacher per-
forming like Christian endearments
with negro wench in the presence
of the congregation.

IT appears that the object of the
pilgrimage made by the Federal wire
pullers to Port Townsend, during the
snow-storm was to secure the with
drawal of Judge Jacobs for the posi-
ton of Governor. After n somewhat
protracted seance with the custom
house authorities, a compromise was
affected, and Gov. Ferry has the
field to himself, SO far, at least, Us
home candidate is concerned, and
Judge Jacobs is to have the nomina-
ton for Congress. Just how Dele

of programme is what worries the

be given him, the probability is that
he will kick the pot over just as it
was beginning to boil.

extend his visit, in due time, to the

from him. The very way he spells

GUS manner Remenyi managed to
spell the simple name of Edward"
Well, we find the sweet name of
William transferred into the terrible
and unpronouncable WILHELM. But
this little departure from usage,
indicates genius, just as Greeley's
handwriting did, and every fair
minded person will allow Wilbelmj
all the liberty he has o mind to take
with the inconsequential consonant
j. He can put it to the end of every

Counting In and Counting Out.

The Hartford 2mes gives all Illus
tration of the way Republicans in
Connecticut have ac.ed in counting
in their candidates, as we'll as in
counting out Democrats, presented
by the Harrington records.
In 1862, the vote for Representa-.
tive In harrington, was as follows:
Harvey L. Rood. Republican ... 1881
Alien u. trtiy. Democrat. .325
y. ~. brady, Democrat.
\. Brady, Democrat ........... 1--332
Mr.. Rood was declared to be elect
Cd by republican moderator.
In 1876, the vote in that town was
a, follows:
Charles +. Church, Democrat .. 800
tildeon IL. WEIGH, Republican. 229
G. ii. WEIGH, Republican. 3
q. WEIGH, Republican. 1-233
Mr.. Welch was declared to be
elected by Republican moderator.
Here was rule that was made to
work both ways, each time for the
Republicans. The initial-let.ers were
not counted for Brady, Democrat,
and this defeated him. But they
were counted for Welch, Republican,
and this elected him.
Down in Maine the Fusion coun-
ell have declined 10 count tie initial
letters for the candidates, and this ID
pronounced by the Republicans to be
an outrage. But the Republican
Governor, Goiinor, and his Council,
in 1877, had done exactly the same
thing, only in moro offensive shape:
they had thrown out all the returns,
in the case of two Democratic towns,
because the election officers had
signed their names in the wrong
place and by this means they re-
jected a Democratic State Senator,
who was elected by 104 majority, and
put in Republican Senator, whom
the people of the Sixteenth district
had defeated. The case was carried
to the Senate by the Democrat, and
that body, though having full power
to correct the wrong, declined to do
so, on the express ground that the
law required this very technical &C
curacy on which Governor Garcelon
and Council have insisted and are de-
nounced as infamous" for so in
sisting, by the same men who them.
selves so insisted only two years ago.

The Reduction of Teachers SaIaries-AC-

SAN FRANcIsco, January 26th.-In the
Board of Education tonight a communica-
ton was received from members of the Re-
publican Convention which nominated can
didates for Office at the recent election, re-
commencing that the Board seek other means
of economizing than by reducing the salaries
of teachers. A petition was also received
with about %, 600 signatures of citizens and
patrons of the public schools appended, pro-
testing against reduction of salaries, as a
blow at the interests of education.
In the Board of Supervisors this evening
resolution was presented and referred to the
Finance Committee, instructing the City and
County Attorney to seek such steps as may
seem expedient to recover for the city any
sums of money paid out to any persons or
corporations, or any demands for money
which have been rejected or disallowed by
the Board. The resolution is evidently aimed
at the gas company's bills.
