PHILADELPHIA LEDGER In taking leave
of the Baptist church and ministry, the
Rev Mr.. Leayell, Of Boston, did it in a
more seemly way than some other preachers
of other denominations have adopted.
Finding himself unable to agree any longer
to the tenets Of his church, he says 50 frank
~ and quits. There have been ministers in
who, holding opinions contrary to the de-
nominationaI faith, still cling to the minis
try ofwhich they are no longer faithful mem
bers, and, holding on, cause the scandal of
public trials for heresy. When a minister
finds himself out of accord with the church
that ordained him the only thing for him to
do is to leave it, as Mr.. Leayell did.

Renewal of the Scheme to Demonetise
Silver.

The silver question has been forced
to the front as an issue, until it is
definitely settled whether silver shall be
demonetised permanently, or whether
it shall continue to be a part of the
monetary system Of the country. The
hostility of the Administration to Silver
as declared by the President and Sec
rotary of the Treasury has been followed
by resolution of Senator Sherman, the
financial oracle Of the gold bugs looking
to the supervision of the coinage of silver
money, and by a similar resolution from
the subcommittee on Banking and Cur
rency of the House. As the gold bugs
have never been reeonciled to their de-
feat miss in the great battle for the res
toration of silver to its constitutional
functions, they viii again rally their
forces with redoubled zeal and sharp
contest will ensue.

POLITICAL economists who estimate each
immigrant to be worth in actual cash to
this nation 5000 or $500, fail to take into
account the number of sick and destitute
who have to be cared for the moment they
land. This week the immigrants ut New
York alone number over 5000 daily, and
the Commissioners are asking for appr0pria-
tions, State ana National, to relieve the
"sick and destitute" There is now bill
before the Ways and Means Committee Of
Congress appropriating $250,00O, to be ez-
pended in this way this year.-CourieI
Journal.
This reminds Us that the money ap-
propriated by the Legislature to en-
courage immigration will be worse than
wasted, if expended to bring paupers,
Migrants and dead-beats into the State
to be taken care Of in the Asylums, or
what is worse, suppressed in institutions
established by the State for the safe
keeping of a different class. The
Of California in the
of the CooIie scrfs-
and the experience which has COM
PEELED a call from Castle Garden for
an appropriation of $25o,0oo by Con
gress-to say nothing of some sporadic
efforts at inducing immigration into our
own State-are sufficient warnings.
Oar able and vigilant Commissioner of
immigration, Maj E. G. Wall, and his
will have an eye to these
facts; and we need not have put the
question with an '.if. What is wanted
are immigrants from Europe and the
Northern States, with Drawn, and brain,
and muscle and capital There is am
pie opportunity for the profitable en-
pIoyment of this sort in Mississippi.

Rev. Vim. Hayne Leavell Leaves the
Baptist Church.

n. Y Herald
BosTos, Mass, April 80, 1882.-Wiiliam
Hayne LeaYell, pastor Of the First Baptist
Church Of this city, closed his pastorate
this morning He severed his connection
with the Baptist denomination because, he
claims, it does not allow sufficient liberty of
thought. In bis farewell address be said :
Unfortunately for the Baptist denomlua-
ton there is no recognition Of a liberal
evangelical wing in its ministry. 81 soon
as one desires to breathe freer theological
atmosphere-no matter how truly eVangeli-
cal the mode of thinking nor how strong
his desire OF orthodox-he is suspected of
having transcribed the legitimate limits
and his usefulness as a minister of the New
Testament IS thereby impaired. TIE only
liberty granted to such a man is the liberty
to go out. There are other denominations
as evangelical as ours, whore the limits are
not SO contracted. and to such a one 60. l
leave both the Baptist ministry aud Church.
but | d. not leave the church OF Jesus
Christ"
Mr.. Leavell' formerly had charge of
the Baptist Church in this city, He
was born in South Carolina. lie IS yet
a young man and has made his mark
as a talented and eloquent pulpit orator.
SOUTHERN tariff protectionists will
note that the n. Y Commercial Bulle-
tin says that owing to the duty Of S28
per ton, foreign rails cannot at present
be placed in this (U. s. market in
competition with the home manufac-
tured article Exclusive of duty, they
can be laid down here at $35 OF less, as
against $50, the lowest price accepted
this year by American makers" In
other words to protect" the iron mas
tiers a monopoly is created whereby the
price of iron is kept up at $50 4 ton
(the Iowes0 when otherwise it could
be purchased at $50; which makes
difference in the cost of building rail
roads about $4,000 a mile. The way to
encourage railroad building in the
South is to repeal the duty on iron.

AMERICAN PRESS COMMENTS.

This is great misfortune for Ireland. 1t
may result in the restoration Of the Tories
to power and Il recurrence to the system of
government with which Erin is all too IA
miIiar. II it should result in sweeping the
Gladstone ministry out Of office, the new
era which seemed to have dawned for Ire
land may be set back for decade. Here
we have another Illustration of how swiftly
fools may destroy what it has taken wise
men ages Of patient toll to build"
From the New York Sun: "There is
something appalling in the folly Of the
crime which was committed last night in
Dublin, and by which bearers of message
Of peace and good viii were UNANIMOUSLY
done to death. The effect which this act
will have, and, perhaps, was meant to have,
on the policy Of Cancellation will be meal
cuIabiy harmful nor should we be sur
prised if it entailed the downfall of the
Gladstone ministry in the very hour when
it merited the highest esteem and conf

thence conceived the idea of establishing

o'clock this morning. Thero were twelve

Why Fit Legislators Are Needed.

The Democratic party has made it's
pledge that Gin the event Of its success)
it will give 10 the people of the state
AN honest, just and true congressional
and legislative appOrtionment' In this,
as in every other promise of our plat
form, We must he is good as our word.
Hundreds and thousands of Republicans
will vote our ticket this fall, for the first
time and they will do this because they
believe that the Democratic party has
taken step, and a long step, on the road
to governmental reform and for the
selfish reason that we desire these men
to remain with us, and for other and
higher reasons, we must demonstrate
that we deserve to 60 into power in the
state, and that we can be trusted with
the control of the affairs Of the COM.
monwealth. For the accomplishment of
these great ends let the word be passed
along the line that none but the best
and purest Hen are to be named
for legislative honors. When such men
are nominated let the canvass be con-
Quoted on the distinct pledge that their
election means not partisan triumph,
but the selection of men earnes. i'm the
cause of good government, looking to a
fair and honest administration of the
affairs of the whole people. The time is
at hand when the professional politician,
low-grade and high-grade seeking the
welfare not even Of his party, but of
one faction of it corrupting the ballot
box bargaining for pardons robbine
the taxpayer and the commonwealth
must give place to the patriot. Men
will hold no parley with ringsters
and FOUNDERS, in the white. light
of to-day. Good men and true
are the hope and reliance of our
people. Every man on the Democratic
state ticket is of this high character.
The Democracy must supplement these
with their best men for the |
Senate and House. And when the glad |
hour of victory comes it must be held as |
a sacred duty-the slightest neglect Of |
which will be REASONABLE aud di ,grace-
ful-to use the power SO gained in the
interests of the whole people first. So
used power will be added to power, until
we shall have redeemed the common
wealth wholly from the control of the
spokesman and the boss. And SO will die
out forever within our borders the heresy
that the public service is the private
of whatever party or faction
holds power jn the state, y-., : !
