THERE appears to be quite ferment,
amounting even to bitterness, in the
United Presbyterian Church with regard
to the recent action of their Assembly
touching the overture for removing the
prohibition of instrumental music in
church worship. The Philadelphia organ
Qf we may with impunity use such a
term as applied to that paper) speaks in
a very harsh manner of the methods by
which this action was procured. The
United Presbyterian, of Pittsburg, on
the other hand, defends the course taken
by the Assembly. The vote was very
close one in the Presbyteries, but there
was decided majority in the Assembly.
There is talk of rupture, but we sin
cerely hope that the matter will be ami
cably settled on the basis of congrega-
tional liberty. The point can hardly be
raised to the Importance of vital issue
among such body of evangelical Chris
tians, agreeing on all other points of the
Calvinistic faith so as to warrant divis-
ion of the Church. We do not believe that
any saint will be questioned when he of
fers his credentials at the gate of heaven,
as to whether he sang his hymns with
the assistance of harp, or without it.
If any question is raised the composer of
those very Psalms which some insist are
the only songs to be used in congrega-
tional worship, will be placed in the
anomalous attitude of being himself ruled
out, while those who appropriated his
melodies to the saving of their souls, will
push by him.

In the last number of the Ba5hotheca
Sacra, the Rev. John Phelps Taylor has
long, elaborate review of Professor w
Robertson Smiths The Old Testament
in the Jewish Church He says of it
=" Few books combine so many excel
lences. 1t has research without pedan-
try, and freshness without sensational
ism. Over an abstruse theme the author
has flung the mantle of simplicity. On
every page one sees the clearness and
candor the courage and cogency, Of an
absolute loyalty to the truth. Best of
all, the tone of the book is thoroughly
and beautifully Christian" etc. After
this it may be surprising to learn that
" The authors statement of the traditional
view OF the Old Testament history is objection
able, that he is arbitrary in his choice of au
thorlties, given to illogical reasoning about
Old Testament facts, that he deals inaccurate
ly with the recorded facts of the pre- exilian his
tory, is guilty of bad exegesis of classical
passages, Misrepresentation Of the prophets, {"
" dislocation of the Mosaic legislation, INSULT
cheney OF argument against the Mosaic author
ship of the Pentateuch," cavalier treatment of
the positive proof of the Mosaic authorship of
the Pentateuch," absurd, immoral, and ir
religious theory OF the origin of the middle
books of the Pentateuch," and, finally, in the
whole work, creates greater difiulties than
those he processes to solve"

ANY MAN may go on fighting Jesus
Christ all his life, but if he makes his
mark in the world, and dies, To- here
come the religious weeklies with long &C.
counts of him and his noble life, and we
have his portrait, and they try to prove
that on some occasion he condescendt d
to speak civilly of Christianity. So it
was when Darwin died so it was when
Emerson died; so it was when Longfel-
low died; and now the Christian Weekly
gives beautiful portrait of Garibaldi,
with biography, in which we are in
formed that he was " the bitter enemy of
God and religion" He. was an avowed
atheist. Then his biography and por-
trait are cut of place in the Weekly. And
so in the last number of the N. Y. EOan-
ge5ist we have an elaborate eulogy on a
volume Of sermons by Dean Stanley
Here is a specimen about Emerson
from the Rev. Dr. Heber Newton, of New
York: 1.-THE point was then reached in
the seer's philosophy when he took up
the wand of science, and at his touch it
blossomed into worship; and he bows his
head and whispers, God"
That was as far as he got--a faint
whisper of a God.

WILL THE Pope LEAVE ROME P

WILL THE Pope LEAVE RoME?-
According to the Pail Man Gazette and Paris
Figaro, Pope Leo is going to Salzburg from
Rome. This flight from the Vatican according
to this authority has long been an idee fre Of
Leo KILL. but it is only recently that be had
decided where to go. Prince Bismarck, so the
story runs, offered to repeal the May laws and
to authorize the expelled priests to return to
their parishes if the Pope would consent to fix
his future residence at Frankfort He promised
that the city should be neutalized, as in the
time of the German Confederation, and offered
the Pope its temporal sovereignty with a sub
sidy Of many millions per annum. Leo declined
Strasburg was then offered him on the same
terms as Frankfort. The offer was temptny
but 1t was also refused A refuge in France
was out Of the question owing to the ascendancy
Of NJ. Bert and company. So at last the Pope
closed with the offer of Salzburg which has been
made by the Hapsburgs The city is to be
neutralized, and the Pope subventioned from
the Austrian ezohequor. Everything Is said
to be in readiness for the transfer Of the Holy
See from Rome to Salzburg, and before long, we
are told, the hour Of departure Will be fixed

We PUBLISH on our End page the
second article of DR.. Brown on the action
of the recent Assembly on Fraternal Re-
lations. 1t is a very able and very
perspicuous presentation of the subject.
1t appears to our mind to conclude the
whole matter. Those who want to I'M
derstand precisely what was done ought
to read it. The Doctor is hard hand to
handle in controversy. He reminds us
of those old divines who used to wrestle
in ecclesiastical controversy in the times
OF John Milton.
We regret that at the close OF his
article he seems to open crack, which
may lead to further agitation Of the
subject tt time this matter was ended.

A record Of only 900 200 shares for the total
business done in stocks to-day fairly reflects
duness that is IN marked contrast with the activity
of two or three preceding days, Yet the market
was not without some interesting and perhaps sig
niGcant features. The opening was made with
very respectable dash toward higher range OF
values than ruled last evening, and promised
well for the days results. The activity and
buo vancy. however, were of short duration, and
were followed by dulncss in transactions and a
sbrinkage in values until after the appearance Of
the bank statement. That exhibit showed a de-

Equalization OF Taxes.

Mr.. Editor A few weeks ago l saw in the
WATERMAN JOURNAL the appointment of three
railroad appraisers whose duty it is to appraise
the railroads (road-bed, track bridges and tres
tles of the state Said appraisal is the quadrennial
appraisal and will be the basis OF taxation for the
towns through which the roads pass for the next
four years. Now the appraisal last year does not
seem to correspond with the other taxable real
estate in the state. As far have known, the APP
'praisa OF farm property in the state by the town
listers under the present law has been very near
the cash value, as the law prescribes. Now | wish
to cite one railroad as appraised last year The
Passumpsic road pays six per cent on an invest
ment of S25 900, or about that sum, per mile. Now
allowing one-haf of that amount for road-bed,
track, bridges and trestles land 1t probably
should be two-thirdsl, it gives So, 800 per mile,
making a list S125 per mile instead OF $40 par
mile as by last years appraisal. Presuming tina,
the above appraisal is fair representative OF the
other roads through the state, were they ap-
praised at their "true cash value ?" Are they
paying their proportion Of the taxes We see
the last years appraisers are re-appointed. @.

The Public Debt.

The financial statement for January
nearly thirteen million dollars. For the
first time since the close of the war the ag-
gregate gross debt is reported less than two
thousand millions. The debt less cash in
the treasury is about seventeen hundred and
fifty millions The interest bearing debt is
fifteen hundred and fifty millions. The
aggregate of the debt when it was great
est, in August, 1865, was S2,Si4 ,649,-
626; the debt less cash in the treasury was
at the same time S2,756, 43l, 81 the inter
est bearing debt s2,3sl, $50 294. The gross
debt has therefore been reduced by about
eight hundred and fifty millions, the debt
less cash in the treasury by one thousand
millions, the Understanding debt by about
eight hundred and twenty-seven millions.
The total debt is therefore little more
than two-thirds as large as in 1865, and the
debt less cash in the treasury, and the inter
est-bearing debt, are considerably less than
two-thirds as large as at that time. The
annual interest charge in 1865 was almost
one hundred and iftyone millions now il
is less than sixty millions, not two-ffths Of
what it was then. The debt was then $685.
for each inhabitant of the United States
now by the reduction of debt and increase
of population it is s3436 for each inhabit
ant. The annual interest charge for eacl
person then was 1870 now it is $1.le
These are the results in outline of a chapte
of national finance unprecedented and IN
approached in the history OF the world.
