Or. Edwards Sermons.

During the absence of our pastor,
Rev. Jas. ID. Barbee, the pulpit Of
the Methodist church has been fill
ed every Sunday by delegates from
the General Conference.
Last week the CHRONICLE no
ticed the preaching of Rev. DIR.
Blackwell, of the Virginia Confer
ence. We are partial to the Old
Dominion, and right royalty does
she SUSTAIN her claims to excellence,
and to the old honor of "Mother of
Presidents" and we will add
preachers. DIR. Edwards rightly
ranks among the noblest of her
sons. His sermons on last Sunday
and Sunday night fully justified the
estimate which has been put upon
him by his State and church. Both
discourses were delivered to large
audiences, composed of Methodists
and representatives of the different
denominations of the city. All
agree that for elegance of diction,
strength of thought, deep religious
sentiment and beauty of illustra-
ton, these sermons have not been
surpassed. In the short space
allowed, l cannot more than indi-
cate the specimens which show the
richness of the mine.
The text in the morning was
from first Corinthians, third chap
ter, "Ye are our epistle written in
our hearts, known and read of all
men," Commencing with the
court customs observed by all ma
tons of sending letters of commu-
nication to and from each other, the
speaker showed how the Apostle
Paul applied it in deeper and
more significant sense in this letter
to the church at Corinth, city
the proud distinction of the
eye of Greece. Referring then to
this rule OF etiquette, to which the
cultured Corinthians were accus-
toned, he writes, "But ye are our
epistles written in our hearts,"
Heart literature then was the theme
which held the absorbed attention
Of the audience. The first thought
was universal authorShip-all are
authors, known and read of all
men. The beautiful babe, with its
tiny fingers caressing the cheek of
is doting mother, is an author, writ
ing SO 6ldeIiGLy that time, nor dis
lance, nor death itself can wear out
the fair writing. The unlettered
man, whose clumsy hand has never
earned to link a letter, is an author
40 less than the polished orator,
whose eloquence "shakes Cecropids'
pillared state" The mother is an
author; the father is an author;
the Sunday-school teacher is an au-
.hor; public school teachers are
authors (; teachers in all schools of
whatever name, are authors the |
business man is an author, above
Ill, preachers, from their very posi-
ions, are authors. Theirs is a posi-
ion involving the most fearful re-
possibility, because all others are
II some sense oar epiStLes rejecting
n their teaching what we have
aught in the pulpit and in our dali
y walk. This immense circulating
library containing all the good and |
lad Influences of human lives, is
IT, one place-it circum-
laVigates the globe.

Mining fairly began in Oregon in
1859, in Arizona in 1853, in Colorado in
1856. and in Idaho and Montana in 1870.
The first location Of mining claim in
Nevada was made upon Gold Hill. in
that Territory, in April, 1865. IN 10
1851 the mining for silver ore was in its
infancy. and its output lid not amount
to more Than = few thousand dollars All
nually. In that year the Comstock
alone produced nearly $::..MW in silver
and an equal amount in gold. In
1867 rock ribbed Nevada turned
out 81, WIO,0 ND wholly from the Conf
stocks, and during the past twenty
years this lode alone has sent out $3O4I.-
Wll, OOja> its contribution t. the riches of
the world. In u short time the Console

amount of $sss, OK, OK, MO. Query: Is
it il clearly established fact. within

that any firm in single generation ev-

innate industry outside Of mining IN.

NAHONE'e TRIALS.

General Malone is in peck Of trot-
bic. His constituents are tormenting
him for place and his stay in Washing
ton is not one of unalloye.l Joy. A spec
ial dispatch to the World Of the 18th
inst. says concerning him:
1t may be easily imagined that after
the strain upon him in keeping the Leg
islature ut Richmond face front all win
ter, he looked forward to the discharge
of the public duties for which he draws
salary with much the same feeling that
an Overworked man welcomes vac.,-
ton. He was allowed hut one day,
turl)ed his Senatorial functions, consist
desk and listening with closed eyes to
es. The announcement of his arrival in
the next days papers banislled his peace
Delegations came in by early trains, and
now he hardly dares show himself at the
Capitol and avoids even his rooms ex-
cept when sleeping aud eating. The
imam and brother comes daily
and asks for ''recugnition." He says
that by promises Of patronage, Malone
and the Readjusters .alienated thu hulk
of the regular Republican vote Of Vir-
ginia, but that none of the promise have
been carried out, patronage having fall
len SD fur almost entirely t0 white men.
Malone has not been able tn
give his friends much satisfaction. The
menber. of delegation tLat cornered
him the other day say that he laid this
neglect of the col0red man i'm the dii
vision Of the spoils at the door of the
Administration. The delegation had
determined tn torment him into prom
ice and put some rather pointed in
quiries touching his reputell influence
with the President and the heads of de-
par'mcnts, but he replied viii, such soft
persuasion that the dissatisfied ones
were disarmed and resigned him to an
other Get Of visitors without having OIL
tanned anything better than his time.

THE NOREY LDTTBt..

1t does seem that Mr.. Dana OF the
New York S~", is placed in . really
awkward position in regard to the lfo-
rev letter. 1t Is well known that Ken
ward Philips. connected At the time with
Truth, was arrested and prosecuted ~
the real forger Of the letter, and the peo-
pie have been led to believe that in some
way that paper was mixed u; in the
matter. But Mr.. Hart, the proprietor
os Truth, has made every effort in his
power to discover the author of the
forgery, aud all fair-n,in,ied people will
modify their opinion concerning his
knowledge Of the identity Of the mis-
chief-nlaker. 1t is now evident by what
has been said by Congressman Hewitt.
Of New York, that Mr.. Dana can give
the name of the culprit. Truth has
earnestly requested Mr.. Dana to tell to
whom he gave the Morey letter after
proa"uncing it II forgery, for it now ap-
pears Mr.. Dana had the letter in his
possession y week before it was sent to
T'"fh for publication. But Mr.. llama
has 80 far failed to give the name of the
person, and that failure must naturally
pla,c him in a very embarrassing posi-
ton before the public. Indeed, the fact
that he has so long kept this knowledge
to himself, when he knew that innocent
parties were suspected, if not already
condemned in the estimation of the
public. reflects badly upon his sense Of
justice. He must have l,owcr;. res-
SONS to remain longer silent, but it is
questionable whether they are 80 strong
rs tn justify him in sealing his mouth
against the demand of the American
people who desire that the author of the
forged letter should be brought to jus.
tie. and against the undoubted right Of
Mr.. Hart to vindication9 bf his inno-
oence in the matter. Mr.. Dana should
speak without further delay.
