Converts.

The Methodist Church has made two conspic-
uous converts lately, and made both in Boston
MIR. Joseph Cook, as it is reported, was invited
TO open question box before the students of the
Theological School of Boston University. The
questions were sent, and few nights ago he
met the students and responded MANY of the
questions turned on the old issues between Cal
vlnlsm and Arminanism. Mr.. Cook answered
to the entire satisfaction of all the Arminians
present. He ended by saying of DR.. Hodge
" He is good man to read but not to follow"
About the same time DR. Duryea was present
at dinner given by the Methodist Social
Union of Boston" He made a speech, and ac-
cording to Boston correspondent of the Chris
tan AdUocdte made two important admis
slons. Said he -" To Methodism | owe. first
my Christian experience. l apprehended Chris
tlanity intellectually before, but | never knew
what experimental religion was until a good
Methodist brother prayed me into the kingdom
AND secondly, my doctrnal beliefs. He uttered
a solid diatribe against old Calvinism. and
thanked God most heartily for Arminianism."
After all, we suspect that these new converts
to ArmIlnianism would hardly get admission into
Methodist Conference on their THEOLOGY. A
question concerning Gods DEGREES would pro-
baby bring from both these gentlemen very
distinct avowal of his belief, that God foreor
dams whatsoever comes to pass. - Presbyterian.
DR.. Duryea is the gentleman, we
think, who recently had to leave Brook
Ign for his lax views about future punish
ment; and Joseph Cook says he thinks
the N. Y independent is the best reli-
gious paper in the country.-EDs.

Presbyterian Churches, like the Reformed
Church of France ard the Reformed
Church of Scotland. The Heidelberg
Catechism is the doctrinal standard of
both the Reformed Dutch and the Re
formed German Churches. This cate
chism was the work of Olevianus and
Urslnus, professors in the University of
Heidelberg. The words Dutch = and
" German > have recently been, respec-
lively dropped by these denominations
In this country they are known now
simply as the Reformed Church.

English speaking communities throughout
the world Episcopalians, 100000;

CHEAP BooKs.-We are very glad to
seethat movements are at lastinaugurated
to remedy the serious evil which prevails
in the book trade in respect to the costli-
ness OF books. Few men now can buy
books at all. American books have be-
come as high as English books Books
are cheap in France and Germany, but
for some reason they are expensive luxu-
ries in the English-speaking world. This
is partly remedied in the North by pub
lie Libraries; but we have no Libraries in
the South worth the name. The Vir-
ginia State Library has no recent books.
1t has the american Journal of Science
down to 1860.
Among the initatory enterprises to
furnish cheap books is. that of j. X. Funk
& Co., 10 and II Dey Street, New York.
We have already called attention to their
publications. They have just issued in
two parts, Farrar's Life of Christ, price
% cents each, or so cents for the whole.
Quarto form, paper Very well printed.
So they publish The Manliness of
Christ" by Thomas Hughes, author of
Tom Browns School Days" for 10
cents; Farrars Life of st. Paul" for so
cents (in two parts), John Ploughman' s
Talk, by Rev. c. H. Sturgeon, and "On
the Choice of Books, by Thomas Car
lyle. both in one. for u cents

The New Sunday Law
Correspondence of the Index. Appea

Correspondence of the Index Appeal
RICHMOND, March 18th, 1SSO.-The amended
Sunday liquor law adopted by the last Gen
eral Assembly went into effect from the passage
OF the act. The change as made removes the
jurisdiction in these violations out of the hands
OF Judge Christian and places them in the Police
Court SO vigorously had the law been enforced
IN the former tribunal that the bar keepers were
forced to hold meeting several months ago
ana agree that no bar keeper from that time
should do any business on the Sabbath AS a
result OF the recent modification last Sunday
the hrst Sabbath 1t has been in force liauor is
said to.have been sold almost as freely as on anv
day IN the week, and in the lower part of the
city good deal of annoyance was experienced
by the quiet and law abiding people,
am told that woman living in the locality
referred to yesterday applied to Judge Christian
TOR protection, and asked that something should
be done by which recurrence of the scenes of last
sunday about the bar-rooms in her neighbor-
hood might be prevented in the future
1t is apparent that the liquor men do not
have any special dread of the Police Court. For
the past SIX months. since the Judge of the Hust-
lngs Court has enforced the law with so much
severity, not bar in the city could be found
doing business on the Sabbath The very day
the new law goes in force the scenes are at once
changed
1t is not unlikely that an issue will be made
on this question in another direction soon.
This is the beginning of the new order
of things. The only way to correct the
matter is to send men to the Legislature
who will restore the old law.

The Reformed Dutch Church and the

States originated, respectively, among the
Dutch settlers in New York and the Ger

movement Of the 10th century was at first
known simply as the Reformation, or Re

tinctive tendencies manifested themselves
on the continent OF these. the one re-
ceived its type and impress from Luther,
and prevailed chiefly among the northern
states Of the German nation the other
was wrought out by succession Of min

France, Holland, and the German prov

and 1877 the whole population increased bv
100000. This increase, however, does not
depend on the very great excess of births over
deaths, but is the result of more accurate emu

that the Republicans were suffering from

dition OF political excitement, and Republi-

A Stupid Forgery About Garfield.

NEW YORK, October 22.-The real pur-
pose of the charge that Garfield wrote the
letter to Morey On the Chinese question
seems to be shown by the fact that 100000
copies of what purpOrts to be a fac-simile OF
the letter are announced to have been sent
to California alone Since Garfield's denun-
citation of the forgery and since the best
known business men of Lynn Mass. have
publicly testified that no such man as Morey,
to whom it was addressed, ever lived or died
there as was asserted, and that the employ
ers union, of which he was the reputed pres
ident, had never existed in. that city.
NEW YORK, October 2-Having made a
careful comparison between dozen auto
graph letters from Garfield and the publish
ed fac-simile of the purported letter to NIorey,
have no hesitation in saying that any hon
est man will echo Gartield's characterization of
it as Il stupid forgery. In general appearance
and in many details they are utterly dissim-
liar

The Imported Editor.

|. Mr.. Daniel SearleS was 4 few days ago i'm
ported into Butte to take editorial charge of
the -Hiner. Mr.. Searles is the Democratic
candidate for School Superintendent in this
county. He is much beaten office-seeker.
When he has not been whipped in conven-
tion he has been wallOpped at the polls. His
race here now, as heretofore is without the
shadow OF hope He knew before he mi
grated this was so. 1t was wise, under the
circumstances, that he abandoned the canvass
and betook himself beyond the limits of the
county. Butte, perhaps, offers more enti-
cling field for Mr.. Searles' talents than Helena
AS sub-editor of the Independent, which en-
ployed him for spell, he ran his string
quickly. His engagement OH the Miner may
end quite as abruptly as here. We Jump to
this conclusion from the manner in which he
starts out to do his hired work Mr.. Searles
is tool in the hands of the Boss He works
for pay, and it matters little to him how
scandalous or disreputable the employment
so long as he gets his cash. He is probably
as fit an instrument to do the behests of his
masters as could be bargained with in Mon
tana. The Democrats of Butte are enioined
to bear with him if they can. His party
wants nothing of him here If Helena is re-
quired to conduct the Democratic campaign
in Deer Lodge, Mr.. Searles is prepared to
take the job Mr.. Hauser will kindly for
ward other lieutenants to help manage and
direct the Maginnis canvass if the Butte
Democrats will kindly signify their wishes.

HEADERS REP. NAT. COMMITTEE, !
NEW YORK, October 90, 1880.
To the Public:
Our unscrupulous political adversaries have
spread broadcast letter purporting to have
been written by our candidate for the Presi-
dency, Gen. J. A. Garfield, to one H. l.. Mo-
rey, of Lynn, Mass, under date of January
23d, 1880. We are fully authorized to de-
nounce it as a bold forgery, both in it's Ian
guage and sentiment. Until its publication
Gen. Garfield never heard of such a person
as H. L. Morey, and was not aware of the ex-
lstence of such an institution as the Employ.
ers' Union of Lynn, Mass, with which Morey
was said to be connected. The letter is one
of the most fragrant lies which has ever been
concocted by desperate party upon the eve
of defeat. We call upon the fair-minded
and truth-loving voters of the country to
make the overthrow of the Democratic party
SO sweeping on November I'd that the politi-
cal jugglers and imposters will be taught a
lesson which will be remembered in all future
contests.
