COMMUNICATED.


Last Sunday evening l listened to SER
mon by Il clergyman of this city whom
have always regarded as pious and able
man. The main portion of his discourse
was directed against the excuses commonly
alleged in paliation Of SHINING admired
the practical manner in which he handled
his subject, and the taste with which he
illustrated the striking points, until he
touched on what he called the "Jesuitical"
doctrine Of "Lhe end iustifying the meansn
The rest OF the sermon was TRADE against
the Jesuits, whom the reverend gentleman
accused of Lying, perjury, tyranny, and
murder" all Of which crimes, he alleged,
were committed in pursuance Of the atore-
said principle. This accusation can be
answered III two-fold manner. In the first
place. history does not record an authentic
case of a Jesuit committing either of the
crimes mentioned, or any other crime in
carrying out the principles of the Society Of
Jesus. Instances of individual wrong doing
can be produced, it is true, and the same
may he said of any other class or society of
men, but it is unfair to visit on community
the sins of individuals. If a Jesuit did
wrong it was not in practcng the doctrines
OF the society, but ia violation of them.
The second part of my answer must be
like Emma Abbott's reply to the telegram
published in the newspapers, stating that
her baby died of Group at Denver hotel
These are her words: my baby did not
die at a Denver hotel. 1t did not die of
Group. 1t did not die at all, and, what is
more, | never had baby"
So, after asserting that the Jesuits did not
sin in carrying out the principle that "the
end justites the MEANS" will assert that
they never believed i'll such a principle, and,
moreover, have always labored to refute the
very sophistry of which they are accused.
As we'll declare, Morrison, protcctonist,
Randall, a rampant freetrader, and Malone,
"A civil service refnrmer, as accuse the Jesuits
of upholding doctrine they have fought
against since the days of Ignatius Loyola.
There can be nothing so exasperating as to
attribute to man principle which he
has always disavowcd.
The Jesuits have given up replying to
SANDERS especially those threadbare, ex-
pIoded ones. which intelligent people only
laugh at. Don't fancy l am Jesuit my
self. | am but humble Christian, COM
paratively a stranger in Alexandria, and
my desire is to show the reverend speaker
Of Sunday night that he has been misn-
formed. l..

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 90.

THE PRESENT Congress, that Is all Inc

the subject of the tariff. A proposition was
before the House yesterday to reduce the

means of instruction to such young artists
as are too poor to 60 to Europe to profit by
The study of the works of the masters III
foreign art galleries. Then, too, such WORKS
compete with no home productions. Ihey
do not reduce the price Of the work
of American artists, and they afford
instruction to, and stimulate the talent
of. poor young Americans OF arts
Tic genius. But so cnamored of protective,
or high, tariff were the members OF the
House referred to, that the proposition was
defeated by large majority. At the pace
the protective tariff is now progressing Ii
will not be long before an impossible barrier
will be built around the country, Chinese eN-
clusiveness be the law of the land, and the
people realize the beneiicent effects Of the
Hesitation of the wise congressman who
shall have established the benign policy OF
dog eat dog.

EFFECTS OF LEAVING OUT A COMMA
When the general corporation tax act was
under consideration in the Now Jersey Sen
ate, an amendment was inserted which
exempted from taxation under it ''all man
ufdcturing and mining corporations" After
ward, while the bill was in the hands Of a
conference committee, it was decided to ex-
cept from this exemption mining companies
doing business in other States, but organ
lied in this State. and the exemption pro
viso was changed to read so as to ex-
empt manufacturing companies, and min
ing companies carrying on business in
this State" The amendment appears with
a distinct comma after the words manu-
featuring companies" but iii engrossing the
reference committees amendments into the
bill the Assembly clerk left out the comma.
and the bill as signed by the Governor aud
filed in the Office Of the Secretary Of State
reads SO as TO exempt manufacturing COM
panies and mining companies carrying on
business in this State" Those manufac-
turing companies, therefore, which have
organized in this State to carry on business
elsewhere are liable under the law to tax
Of 500 on every 100000 capital. In the
case of one company alone, a glucose manu-.
featuring concern, this tax will be 900 4

MARRIED TO a CORPSE. Samuel B. Rob-
bins moved into the little village of Apple
ton, Me-, lifly-one years ago. He served in
the civil war and received wounds which
entitled him TO a pension. For six wears
he has lived with his brother Noah. Last
July he began to fail rapidly, aud month
ago il was evident he could live only short
time. II he died his pension money would
be lost, for his wife was dead and be had no
children. III this emergency it was decided
that wife must be obtained for the diving
soldier. In Rockland was found q woman
who, under the circumstances, was willing
to become wife and widow in quick sue
cession. February 2G the bans were pub
lshed. The law in Maine requires five
days notice before the marriage. March .
Robbins fell into comatosc condition
and did not recover his senses until he
died, March t. 1t is said that when Squire
Pease, the pension agent, learned how
near dissolution Robbins was, he sent
post haste to Rockland for the bride he
and Noah had selected. Unhappily, the woman
did not arrive till midnight niue hours after
Robbinss death. The woman was hurriedly
taken to the chamber where Robbins lay dead,
aud the mockery of marriage ceremony between
the living woman and thccorpse was gone through
with. Pcase's sou took the cIammy hand of the
dead man and placed it in that of the willing
widow. AT the funeral she was introduced AS

The BANKERS and brokers Of New York

those who signed the call for the meeting
referred to have since robbed those who
trusted them with their money. They may
want Arthur to be the next President, but
the voters, the people Of the country, do
not, and what's more, they don't want such
men to be recommending Presidents for
them, look upon such recommendations
as presumptuous impertinence, and will
resent it accordingly. The people are in
bad enough way, but it is hardly possible
that the day has come when set of robbing,
