EDITOR ADVANCE: In reading the
items of your Little Rock correspond
ent recently was delighted with that
beautiful, sensible sentence of one of
the contributors to the paper in connec-
tion with their Lyceum and deem it
commendable. It read as follows: 1.-THE
piety Of the coming man will consist in
living a moral, upright life. lie will
spend little time bordering over and
discussing the imperetrable mysteries
of the future" Preaching Of the dark
ened past and the unknown future is
no longer considered all that belongs to
religion by the acting and thinking por
ton of the rising generation. True Re
ligion consists of more than Singing,
praying, bible reading and church going,
but every act of a man in his daily life
is a part of his religion. 10 be just,
merciful and charitable are the princi-
pies which should be inculcated by>ev-
cry good and true man and woman
whether they belong to amy church or
not.
Justice is the pillar that upholds the
whole fabric of human society and mer-
cy is the genial ray, which cheers and
warns the habtation of men, and char
ity is the bond Of peace and the reriec-
ton Of every virtue. A Z"alous attach
ment to these duties will insure public
and nriya fp este Gem
The vain conception of IL vicarious
atonement should be universally abol-
ished, not only by the outside world but
also by the churches. Almost every
culprit in the land that is hung by the
neck swings straight from Earth to
Paradise. In order to make salvation
easy this doctriue is used by the church,
es us (. bait to catch m mbers. It a.
mounts to about the same in my opin-
ion as chaff to catch birds with, or an
artificial bait to catch fish with. You
may catch the fish, and be satisfied, but
| the fish did not get what he expected
and only learns to his SORROW after it's
too late that he is the svindl.u party.

ANTEI,HIRD TERN.

Our ''boom'' is working satisfactory
". The ADVANCE was one Of the very
first Republican country newspapers to
speak out against the Grant boom.
The papers are wheeling into line beau
tifully. The organization of the anti
third elements so as to give decided ex-
preston to the sentiment, which we
asked for long ago, is going on satisfac-
torily. We couldn't do better if we had
the directing Of it ourself. Grant may
possibly be nominated, but he will not
be President again.

DEL EG.i7'E DOWNl' DOES TT,

DEL EG4TE DOWNl' DOES IT.
Mr.. Downy, Of Wyoming Territory,
threw the Senate into spasms the other
day by publishing apoem in the Con-
gresslonal Record in support of his bill
for frescoing the capitol with pictures
illustrating the Christian religion. In
support of this bill, Mr. Downey rose to
the height of the Occasion and printed
his speech in Miltonic iambics. The
dispatches say that the colder members
of that body were much scandalized.'
Not by the poetry of course, but by the
publication in the Record. Well they
might be scandalZeG. Has it come to
this that a publication so prosy and pom
derous us the Congressional Record is
to be violated by seductive iambics and
enticing SMILES? Where will this be-
ginning end? Let the Senate rise in it's
majesty and nip this bud in the ignit-
ing, so to speak. Once let the noun
famous minds of the Senate become
impregnated by this incendiary torch,

to that effect. This attempt to fire the
imagination of the massive and boreal
Senate may lead to consequences yet I'M
born. Even Ben Hill may take fire UNI

may run, like prairie fire, from Il

weed out this poisonous drug from the
columns of the Congressional Record.
Let this dreadful Downey be sent to
Anthony Comstock in decoy letter and
suppressed as Il publisher of literature
calculated to beard the lion in his very
den and drag the very Nestors of the
nation into the pools of poetry.
FOLLOWING Il Madam.
One of the clearest-headed and ablest
speakers in the East, recently said:
What difference is there between
Freeman's zeal which we now call in
sanity, and that of the church propa-
gandists in the ages past? The holy in
quisitors OF Catholicism, the holy perse-
cutOrs and witch burners of Protestant
ism, John Calvin, who burned Servetus
with a slow fire, because he disagreed
from him, were as insane as Freeman.
The five points" of faith which Calvin
promulgated, that form the foundation
of the Presbyterian creed to-day. were
the incoherant utterances of a mailman.
lie never explained them; they never
have been understood or explained.

THE SPELLING REFORM

possibly De nominated, OUT ne VIII loI

THE SPELLING REFORM
We believe the ADVANCE was the
first paper in the United States to sug-
gest that whenever the newspapers a.
dopted the spelling reform, without ask
ing the leave of scholars and lexicogra-
piers, that it would settle the matter
and make the reform general. The good
work has begun and IS gaining. The
New York Truth Seeker adopted it in
part year or two ago. The Chicago
Tribune followed some months since.
And now we notice that some of the
country papers are wheeling into line.
Let's make the reform general, boys.
What do you say Huntington, Miller,
Chamberlin, Chapman and the rest of
you?
4 SENSIBLE HOMESTEAD BILL,
The following special is from the Pr
neer-Press.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE house
passed the bill providing that when u
presumption homestead or timber claim
ant shall file written REIMBURSEMENT
of his claim in the local land office, the
land covered by such claim he held open
for settlement and entry without furth-
er action by the general land cOmmlss-
Toner. The bill was accompanied by Il
report, of which the following is the
substances: In almost every instance
where Il claimant :elinquishes his claim
1t is for the reason that he wishes to dis
pose OF his improvement to some person
who desires to re-enter the same. 1t
now takes from three to six months to
procure the cancellation of a voluntary
REIMBURSEMENT. The bill proposes to
make cancellation immediate. Under
the present system in very many in
stances party after buying improve
ments and paying several hundred dol
lars therefor, is unable to enter the land
by reason Of the fact that some other
party desiring to enter the same pro-
cures the assistance of an attorney in
Washington, who telegraphs him in
made. The passage of this bill saves a
great deal of trouble, and will lie of
practical benefit both to the claimant

Better late than never. The AD-
VANCE urged three or four years ago
that as the government practically rec
ognized and permitted the sale or trans
fer of claims, it should so guard the
transfers that parties purchasing would
besecure in the transaction. Hundreds
of claim purchasers have been cheated
out Of their money Ivy a third party Slip

Another Point Considered.

The first section OF Article VII. OF the
Constitutions provides as follows:
"All regular elections for county o,heers
shall be seld on the fourth IhuNuay u,
MAY an& all officers elected OF appoih'eu
under THIS provision SHAH enter upon III,
duties of their Offices on The hrst uay vi guy
next succeeding their election, @c'
Now, all county officers must be e'ecteu
in MAJ; and all Of them must 90 INTO once
on the 1st OF July next following their eiec-
,ion. Can the Legislature postpone tue
election until after the ist OF July ana tueh
let {be term of the officers begin on the ls'
OF July afterwards, and Mt the same Time
ha,e the officers indicted into Office nine
or ten months before the time when their
forms begin? Certainly not. An olDcer
can take Office only when his term peSlns'
In the case supposed the term would ei'ner
begin before the election, In vloiatloh vi
tbe Constitution. or else the officer would
take office before his term began, when no
officer can do. Neither would be allowable.
So as to county judges. They take once
on the 1st Of January next following their
appointment. But in reference 10 Dotu
county officers and county judges, as the
case now existing as to the latter and the
case supposed US TO the former are provided
for IN the Constitutionsby giving the Legs
lature power to Oil vacancies not otherwise
provided for, that body may constitutions
" pass law providing how all such ofhces
NAV be filed until the term OF the officers
elect shall begin.
The Board of Education may have pro-
ceeded in disregard OF the Constitution, II
they did so proceed, simply because the at
tention OF the members had never been
called TO the constitutional provision on the
subject. At any rate Article VII. aud Aril-
ticle VIII. must be taken together; and the
latter in giving TO that Board full power
both 10 appoint and TO remove county SUI
perintendents OF public free schools does
in effect make the term OF office OF those
officers dependent upon the will OF that
Board, their action being of course APP
proved by the Senate. The power to re-
move is exactly equal to the power to ap-
point.

What Is Demanded.

Those, II any, who suppose that the
whites Of Virginia can ever form a party
alliance with The .agroes without making
concessions which the former will never
willingly make, are invited TO give their
attention 10 the demands made OF the
present Legislature by the negroes, or, as
the paper before us has 1t, the Republican:
OF Alexandra, at u meeting held In thai
city on Monday night.
The preamble declares that the Resdjust
ers are "pledged to their constituents Il

and to wipe away the odions laws which

COUNTY JUDGES. There still appears to
be dispute about the judges who have been
elected since the 1st OF this month.
This is o most important matter, and
should be examined from nOn.partisan
standpoint. Much OF great importance may
dcDerd npon the right OF one OF these
newly-eeced judges to hold the February
courts.
II seems TO us eminently proper that botb
houses should raise u committee who should
consult the best legal talent, and settle this
matter by report.
We think that there was vacancy IN all
the county judgeships for which there had
not been an election before the 1st Of Janu-
arv. Until that vacancy was filled, or
regular successor qualified. the old judge
could. il he chose, hold over; but we think
that during the session OF the Legislature 1t
can fill the vacancy; if there is no session
the Governor can. We are satisfied the
newly-elected judges for the regular term
only enter upon their duties January, 1881.
wherever they have been elected since the
recess, but we believe the Legislature could
at once, and should at once, elect them 10
fill the vacancy, and thus get rid o! the
doubt.
Doubt as to the legal right OF a judge to
decide upon questions involving the life or
liberty Of citizen should be prevented

The judges will hardly apply for the Of
fees lefore they get their commissions.
And when the Governor issues these, they
will be very likely to tell when the term
commences. We hope for as much, at the
least

The AsyiuuS.
January 90, 1880.

FOR Inc Dlspatch.j
The pressing needs OF the lunatic asy-
lums Of the State call loudly for relief. The
law Of the State requires the Auditor to
pay one third OF all cash revenues which
may come into his hands to the payment OF
all arrearageS due these institutions, and
also directs him TO pay their appropriations
quarterly in advance. These laws have
been diSregarded, and the aSylums are in
arrears in the aggregate to the extent OF
S111,125.l2. For the fiscal year ending
1S79-'S0 alone their arrears amount to
S67 2l4.12. This notwithstanding the asy-
lums had their appropriations largely de-
creased LAST year, though their number Of
inmates has largely increased. They are
now practically at a s;andStill in the en-
largement vi their buildings, and are in
debt TO every one for supplies. These cha
rites should be fOsrered, and the poor crea-
lures now lying IN iaiIs should have relief.
The Fingnce Committee Of the House OF
Delegates is now looking into this matter.
The asylum authorities pledge themselve.
10 care for oil the lunatics OF the State in
the next twelve months ii their arrearages
are made up. Let thi, be done at once.

Maine and Louisiana.

The New York Tribune felictates itself
that the cry OF "Fraud" as an issue in the
next presidential election has been disposed
OF by the conduct OF the Democrats OF
Maine. That journal has evidently dreaded
the effect of that cry upon tue popular vote.
We cannot agree with our esteemed con-
temporary OF New York. On the contrary,
we think, with The Nation, that the count
ing out done in Maine has brought home to
the consciences Of many good Republicans
fhe enormity of the offence committed in
Louisiana IN 1876. 1t has opened their
eyes. They cannot bat see that Governor
GARcELoN acted honestly in doing what
SEEMS to them 10 be an utterly inexcusable
thing, whilst acts almost precisely similar
were done in Louisiana in 1876 by set OF
uuprincipled carpei-baggers and scalawags
who kneu that they were committing an
objectionable offence against society.
Why, then, should the course OF the
Maine Democrats put an end 10 the cry OF
"Fraudi" 1t will not do SO. II will, on the
contrary, serve as an illustration of the
course OF the Republican leaders OF Lou
isiana in 1876, and will euabe the Demo
Gratis to press home the point upon the Re-
publican orators. II will "point moral !"
for our side. II will be political capital for
