Henry l.. Pierce the Liquor
Dealers Candidate.

Quite a "boom' is being worked up
for Hon. Henry l.. Pierce as the repub-
lican candidate for governor of Massa-
chusctts. One of the arguments used
in favor of his nomination is that it
would bc very satisfactory to the liquor
interest of Boston. This the Boston
Traveller emphasizes 10y a publication
of Il series of interviews with promi-
nent liquor dealers in that city. 1t is
urged that the liquor interest was
solid for Butler last year, and would
he solid for him again this year as
against almost any other candidate
than Picrcc,or some candidate of equal
ly pronounced liberal views on the Ii
quor issue. The liquor interest, they
argue. helped largely to give Butler
l3,OOO majority in Boston in l5S2. The
liquor dealers are very pronounced i'll
favor of Mr.. Picrce's candidacy, and
say that he will take eight thousand
votes from Butler in Boston.
'Anything to beat Butler" would
seem to bc the idea upon which the
Massachusetts republicans are to con
duet their canvass, if they are to go
into the rum-shops of Boston and ask
the liquor dealers who shall he nom
mated for governor. Butlcrism is a
plague, it is true, but nothing is gained.
in the end, by resort to temporary
expcdicucy. We mistake the temper
of the independent republican voters
in Massachusetts if they tamely sub
NIT to having man placed in nominal
ton as their candidate for governor be
cause his nomination is especially de-
sired hY the liHmOr interest.

The Stated Clerk being absent from the meet

last week before he had received the minutes
This report was based upon reliable information
and was in the main correct but as it, perhaps
does not present clearly the action of Presby-
terry on the overture sent down from the Gene
raj Assembly, the editors are respectfully re-
quested to publish to following extract from the
minutes on this subject
" Wednesday, April 18h.-The order of the
day, to wit the question sent down to the Pres
byteries by the last General Assembly of strik-
ing out of the Confession of Faith the prohibit
ton as to the marriage of deceased wife's sis
ter, was taken up, considered and discussed at
some length. 1t was then resolved to take the
vote by ages and noes when Rev. VIM NJ Nc
Pheeters and ruling elder VIM. A. Cannady
were excused from voting and the roll being
called the vote resulted as follows Ayes-Mino

There being a tie, and the Moderator having

pointed to prepare and bring in a minute to ex-
press the mind of Presbytery on the subject.
On the l9th.-Rev. E. w. McCorkle and rul-
ing elder S. NJ. McCorkle asked leave, and
were allowed to state, that if they had been
present on yesterday, when the vote of the ques-
tlon of the marriage of a deceased wifee's sistcr
was taken, they would have voted in the affirm.
ative.
On the 20th--The committee to prepare a
minute on this subject made report which was
amended and adopted as follows: In regard
to the overture of the General Assembly touch
ing the request of ColcOrd Presbytery, that steps
be taken to remove from the Confession of
Faith the prohibition against the marriage of a
deceased wifes sister, and other degrees of af-
Unity contained in the last sentence of Chan.
| &HlV, sec. 4 of the Confession of Faith, the
Presbytery of Montgomery responds, that, in
the opinion of majority oS. this Presbytery,
the sentence referred to rests upon doubtful
Interpretation of the Scripture"
(The sentence referred to is as follows: I" The
man may not marry any of his wife's kindred
nearer In blood than he may of his own: nor
the woman of her husbands kindred nearer in
blood than of her own.')

courses of study which may place and
keep Union Theological Seminary abreast
of the times, and that all means and aids
to make the high scholarly attainments
which this progressive and advancing
period asks, it will, of course, be necessa-
ry to these important ends, to increase
the endowment of the institution, and to
an amount not less than $4,000. A
committee has in charge this subject, and
will hereafter be heard by the Church
through such methods and agencies as to
them may seem appropriate.
Gradu0teS.-In appropriate terms and
in few words of wisdom, Vice President
Atkinson delivered to the following gen
tlemen diplomas, testifying to the credi-
table fact that they had each, by diligent
and conscientious industry, pursued the
full course of study in the seminary, viz {:
