Concerning Religious Secession.

The Row. Hebor Newton would be very
much TO blame If he should continue to pro.
claim as truths what his Judgment, under
now influences, declares to be false. We doto
on honesty. But tho Rev. Heber Newton
never would have occupied his present pull
pit in New York city had he not most sol
EMMY promised ALWAYS so to minister THO
doctrine of Christ as this church hath re-
ccived the same" and to be ready with all
faith and diligence TO Danish and drive away
from the church all erroneous and
strange doctrines contrary to Gods
word" BY the rules of morality
which govern secular transactions ol
every description, whatever terms arc inn
posed upon trustee by the conditions of the
trust must be rigidly adhered TO independent
of any wish or opinion of his. If at any
time the things required of him become re.
pulsivc to him, or for any reason he is un.
willing to do them, he must rclinquish the
trust. We do not argue any matter OF
religious belief, 1t is only the question Of
whether a man may use the place which
is not his, but in which he is placed fol
a purpose, for an entirely antagonistiC
purpose. 1t is true that Mr.. New.
ton has been sustained in his new
departure of hostility to the leading doc.
trincs of his church by the trustees of his
society, and we believe the latter have been
sustained by the congregation. But this only
aggravates tho ohcnse. 1t is not only seces
sion, but it is seizing fort of the central
power. Not only so, it is capture of the
fort by the enemy through the officer in
trusted with its command, and by the
aid of the soldiers under him who should
have been taught by him to resist rather
than to surrender. We respect the
right of every man to his opinions, and be.
lieve that Mr.. Newton has only ceased tC
preach what he no longer believes. But as q
pure question of common honesty and fair
play, which should govern Christian, jew
Pagan, and unbeliever alike, We do not hesi
tate to say that to us he seems to have used
delegated power to the injury of its source
and in violation of an express pledge that hi
would never do So

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The overwhelming attractyeness OF the Light
Infantry fair has somewhat impaired the business
of the theaters for the week, and thereby 1t has
occurred that two of the best entertainments of
the season have been patronzed much less heavily

naming conjurer, whose work is characterized by
defines, fautless taste, and tone Of good humor,

gathered at the National, and the Carncross

PENSION DEAD BEATS.
Pretended Special Examiners Going About
the Country Collecting Money-A Warm
iuu from ComnIssloner Dudley.

the Country Collecting Money-A Warm
ing from Commissioner Dudley.
Gen. w. w. Dudley, commission of pension
has issued tho following order to special ex-
aminers, which will be found of interest to
every applicant for pension throughout the
land
Numerous complaints have reached this
Office that INSCRIPTIONS persons are travelling
throughout the country claiming that they
are authorized to represent the commissioner
of pensions, and upon this and various other
pretexts have defrauded pensioners and APP
plicants for pension out Of certain sums of
money. IL is, therefore, my duty TO direct
that the special examiners Of this Office shall
in every such instance inform the public that
no special examiner or other person employed
by this office Is authorized to receive money,
either as fec or as expenses in any manner ;
and that each special examiner Of the pension
Office Is provided with certificate over the
signature of the commissioner of pensions,
whose signature is duly verified by tho
honorable secretary of the interior, under
the seal of his department, showing that the
examiner has been regularly detailed by tho
commissioner from the clerical force of tho
pension office, under section 47H of the
Revised Statutes and is qualified to admins
ter oaths, &c. Therefore, If any person, in
the absence ofsuch authority, should repre-
sent that he is special examiner of the
pension Office or shall demand or obtain
money under any pretense whatever, he may
be safely set down as n fraud and swindler
and among the worst of his class.
1t is my earnest desire that when money
has been obtained from pensioners or claimants
under such circumstances that prompt and
vigorous measures may be taken at once to
bring the offenders to justice. This may be
done under the laws of the state wherein the
ofionse was committed under such statutes
as have been enacted for tho trial and punish
mont Of persons obtaining money or any
valuable thing under false pretenses. In
order that this class of imposters may bo
published as widely as possible, each case of
defrauding claimants or pensioners should be
reported by some responsible person, with u
full description of the imposter, to the
commissioner of pensions, who will at once
instruct his special examiners to give tho
public proper warning.

tator and attempt TO repress the very wish for
liberty there will be more strength for tho
right cause in that one mistake than dwells
in any amount of hot words from
angry voices. Preserve the "unity of

by saying and doing in America only what
can be lawfully said and done in Ireland,
Lot tho question of revolution, IL ever

Irish-Amcrioans for any reasonable or rebel
lious purpose without inviting blows with

Wheat.

The continued wall in the northwestern
n ,wspapcrs over tho wheat crop prospects sug-
gests one of two things: Either somebody is
working up an effect on the market or the
wheat crop has no prospects whatever. OF
the two the first is most probable. When it
Is considered that wheat is grown now un-
der diverse climates and over territory ex-
tending from Georgia to Canada and Massa-
chusetts bay to Puget sound, it ought to be
plain that such u thing as general failure in
wheat is next to an impossibility. Local
causes might wipe out the crop of sections
equivalent to one or two states, but the re-
mainder would make up the deficiency Da-
kota never fails; Minnesota seldom
Iowa is almost certainly to bo re-
lied upon, and other western states
may go under in spots or belts without seri-
ously impairing the general result. 1t is not
now n it was when three or four states fur
nishcd all. Wheat culture has pushed its way
so fast and SO far to the west that nothing less
than such avast destructive influence as never
yet has been dreamed of could ruin the
countrys yield. Besides the only reliable
reports yet received, being those collected by
the government, arc wholly at variance with
the croakings of the newspapers that are cry,
ing about q failure, Whatever else may droT
out, there will be wheat enough and to spare.
