An Unhappy Church Controversy
LAWRENCE, Oct. 5.-Rev. Mr.. Sanborn of
the Unitarian church had a lively time at the
parish meeting last evening. Before reading
his Gre signation the pastor stated that he de-
sired that there be a full and free discussion of
the causes which induced him to resign. He
moved that the sense of the meeting be taken
whether they were willing to enter into free
discussion OF the causes The meeting voted
to allow the discussion, consequently the pastor
read the resignation. After motions had been
made to accept and reject the same, the pastor
stated that whether the resignation be accept
ed or not. he would sever his connection with
the society Jan. 4th. He stated that Agent F.
E. Clarke circulated the report that he (San-
born) was guilty of pilfering $50 from the
treasury of the society. Agent Clark denied
making such q statement. The Hon. VIM. r.
Spalding was charged by the pastor.with crcu-
lating report that he (Sanborn) had been too
intimate with lady members of the church.
This enraged Spalding. who twice called the
pastor a liar, the latter stating that he had
personal settlement to MAKE with Spalding.
The society voted by 25 to 10 not to accept the
pastors resignation, but he will renounce the
ministry Jan. 4, 1881. 1t is reported that he
will institute legal proceedings against Spald-
ing for alleged libel. Further disclosures are
expected

A STRIKE TO BE ORGANIZED AGAINST
PAYING RENT.

LONDON, Oct 5.-Mr. Parnell addressed 1000
persons at Kilkenny Saturday. Nine members
OF Parliament and fifty Catholic priests were
present Mr.. Parnell announced that as soon
as suhGlent information had been. collected the
Land League would organize great strike
against paying rent on the estate of every rack

After the Parnell procession and speeches at

complimentary to himself, Mr.. Parnell said
when we hear such feeling sentimentality
about outrages alleged to have been committed
on cattle, and get news of the occasional MUIR
der OF landlord, we are entitled to point ont
the fact that for the lives of one or two land
lords struck down. by exasperated tenants, the
lives of 25,00O of the Irish people have been
extinguished." Mr.. Parnell said he was not
there to apologize for violence of any kind,
Out IL was only Just to remember that there
were two sides to this business. and that the
people have submitted to outrage on the part
OF the landlords until submission is no longer
possible. When they provided the necessary
remedy for the abiect and helpless condition Of
the tenantry bloodshed would cease, as effect
follows cause. He concluded by predicting
the downfall of landlordism, which was
merely piece of machinery for maintaining
English rule over Ireland.' Parnells re-
marks were not altogether satisfactory to the
advocates OF armed revolution as not going
quite far enough, but the most radical portion
OF them were loudly applauded.

BUSINESS MEN AROUSED.
New York Merchants Anxious for the
Election of Garfield and Arthur.

New York Merchants Anxious for the
Election Of Garfield and Arthur.
NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The Tribune saws a no.
tieeable feature of the canvass in this city at
the present time is the activity of the business
men. Many of those who have never taken
any part in political meetings are now coming
forward and voluntarily offering their services
and money to assist in the election of Garfield
and Arthur. Many well known mercantile
houses, the proprietors of which have not be-
fore shown their political leanings this week
have sent letters to the Republican state COM
mittee, and in other ways shown their appre-
citation of the dangers threatening their busi
ness interests by the success of the Democratic
Greenback party. Much of this activity is due
to the result in Maine. A prominent wholesale
merchant, whose business is as large as that of
any merchant in this country, said Yesterday:
81 did not think the election of Garfield was
in any danger until the Maine election I did
not suppose it was possible for any party to
succeed in any state in this Union on plat
form OF imitation and repudation. When Gen.
Hancock took pains to tell the public that
such success was glorious result / thought
1t time 10 put my shoulder to the wheel and
help save my business"
Another said: "My business is PROSPEROUS,
and things are on a stable foundation. Why
should l want Tammany Hall to rule this city
and increase my taxes, and the Solid South to
rule the country and make such changes as
danger in trying such an experiment. That is
why have concluded to come out and assist
in electing Garfield and Arthur"
This spirit animates the whole business
community. The bankers and brokers have
organized large Garfield and Arthur club,
the produce dealers have organized another,
the downtown dry goods merchants are now
organizing, and similar movement is on foot
among the uptown merchants, while hundreds
of the most prominent men in the city are as
sisting the canvass through the Union League
Club The Downtown Merchants Clerks
Association has over 800 Republican members,
and a similar organization uptown has like
membership.
An uptown merchant started subscription
list recently for Garfield and Arthur banner
to be stretched across Broadway at Eighth
street. He had no trouble in getting the larg-
est and best business houses in that part of the
city to assist in the work. The list is really
curiosity in its way, containing as it does, only
names Of prominent busin ess men, many of
whom were supposed to be Democrats The
banner, which is fine one, bears portraits of
Garfield one side, Arthur on the other, with
Lincoln in the centre holding his proclama-
tion. On the lower corners are figures of COM
merce and agriculture, while above is the
name-Merchants' Republican Association.

enriched by beading and plumes. The Amer
ican fancy, however, is for white plush bon
nets with pearl or silver faceted beads, white
ostrich feathers, and graceful drapery OF
Spanish lace. These white bonnets are very
beautiful, and will be worn at day receptions
the theatre, and the opera. In Paris, where
bonnets are not worn at the opera, the colored
plushes are preferred.
The new round hats rival pokes III their
quaint shapes, and must be confined to the
very young ladies, as they are worn back on
the head, and no longer shade the forehead
and protect the eyes in the way formerly so
comfortable to older ladies. Young ladies
just returned from summer IN Europe are
wearing the Able hat--a fiat broad shovel
shaped hat, with low round crown, and brim
rolled up all around but higher on the sides,
and not close enough to the crown to interfere
with the scarf and plumes that serve for trim
ming. This is a modification of the English
walking hat, but is worn back on the head in
stead of low on the forehead Another pretty
hat for young ladies is in the shape of pastry
cooks cap, and is called by some the Polish
cap, by others the Scotch cap, and again the
Leonardo da Vinci. Very small Gainsborough
hats are shown, and these now have the
plumes on the right side instead of near the
left side, which is turned up. Most coquet-
tish of all is aaring hat that has single in
denton in the brim trfle toward the left
side. This is made up inithe new tigre plush,
and in shaded plush, with the entire bonnet of
enc fabric, even to the mammoth bow on the
top. The dark rough fur beaver hats with
brim rolled up all around are very becoming
and these with the small feather turbans
complete the variety in round hats.

Democrats Trying to Bulldoze Hon. w.
G. De Pauw and. His Sons-Landers
Frightened by the Tariff Question.
New YORK, Oct. 5.-An Indianapolis special
says: News comes here that the Democrats of
New Albany are making systematic efforts to
buldoze the Hon. W. G. De Pauw and his
sons out of the position they have assumed in
opposition to the free trade tendencies of the
Democratic party. Failing to drive them
back into the Democratic ranks, it is hoped to
cripple their business These are the tactics
employed by the Democratic leaders in this
city. In connection with this the Hon.
S. B. Chittenden of New York telegraphs

because he declared for Lincoln. He says he
has never published the fact before, but
Mr.. New is at liberty to make such use of
the fact as he sees fit Franklin Landers has
becomed alarmed at the proportions the tariff
question and protection to labor has assumed
in the canvass, and has published the state
ment that tho question cannot be considered
at issue in this campaign, nor indeed for many
years. so long as national debt exists. While
the Democratic party believes in free trade,
the insertion of a free trade plank il the Gin
cinnati platform was merely the declaration of
an abstract principle, and did not mean any
thing much not, at least, for the present
canvass
