PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

A WASHINGTON dispatch dated Aug.
says the tone of the Eastern press is against
yesterdays course on the river and harbol
bill. 1t is generally believed that had one
day interviewed the bill could not have beer
passed. The National Republican, the Adj
ministration organ, says the relations of the
President and the party will not be seriously
injured by it, and the relations Of the Pres
dent ard people will be made nearer"

platform which denounced the Republican
party and declared allegiance to the princi-
pies and teachings Of Thomas Jefferson. A

posed prohibitory amendment be submitted

Treasurer, and Frank H. Hall, of Kane Coun-
ty, for Superintendent OF Public Instruction.

The Cost of Religion.

According to a statistical contempo-

churches of the whole country, and of
conducting the benevolent work in
which they are engaged, is $106, 692, 600
a year, or about 81 for each of the
16, 100. 936 members. Jews pay $135
each, Episcopalians $44, Congregational
and Dutch Reformed members SIS,
Presbyterians $13, Baptists, Lutherans
and Methodists Sc, and Roman Catho-
lies So. The total expenditure of the
Roman Catholic Church is estimated at
500, 600, 600. The total expenditure OF
the Protestant churches in this city
amount to Sc, 800. 900 a year, and the
average per member in those churches
is 1874. New York contains about one
fiftieth of the population of the whole

at the same rate for the whole country,
the aggregate expenditure would be
