PnI.I: Church

The Park Congregational church, St.
Anthony Hill, occupied their new chapel for
the first time yesterday morning. A large
congregation was present, The services
were all happily and impressively arranged in
reference to Easter Sabbath.
\ wreath of floral decorations, beautifully
and artistically arranged, adorned the pulpit
and the new chapel auditorium, with all its
comfortable appointments, shone like new
creation.
The choir, consisting of Mrs, Charles John
son, soprano, Miss Morehouse, alto, Mr.. E.
a. Hemenway, tenor, and Mr.. L. Fahnstock,
bassO, rendered several selections admirably.
and with fine musical effect, and were assist
ed by the whole congregation in singing the
hymns. The new and fine chapel organ
discoursed most excellent music, and added
largely to the musical enjoyment and enter
tainment of the occasion
The pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Morley, was really
at his best, and delivered a most touchine
and eloquent discourse, full of moving and
tender pathos, on the crucifXion and resource
ton of the Saviour. His text was taken
from Matthew IS: 5, 6: "And the angel
answered and said to the women,'' 5, Fear
not, for know that We love Jesus, who was
crucifed. 6. He is not here, for he is risen
as he said, Come, see the place where the
Lord lay.''
The preacher by the strongest chain of in
controyertible evidence, showed that the
Saviour was crucifed at Jerusalem, so adj
mitted to be by the Jews, and also by equally
strong evidence established the fact of his
resurrection. He appeared to His disciples
thirteen times after His resurrection, and
the disciples preached Jesus Christ and him
crucifed and his resurrection, as the founda-
ton of the Christian faith, and on it a fun
damental element of belief went forth to dis
ciple the world. The congregation listened
with rapt attention as the preacher thrilling
ly depicted the results of the resurrection.
The exercises of the Sabbath school were

consisting of three services beginning with
early low mass, followed by high

from Rev. Father Pettier, missionary from
Japan, who with Bishop Osuf, is temporarily
in the city, was attended by large and most
devout congregations. The floral decorations
upon the altar were very beautiful and in
keeping with the holy character of the Chris
tan Festival day.

Withdrawal of W. r. Merriam.
TSt. Paul Dispatch, April u. |


1t is authoritatively announced to-day by
the friends of Mr.. VIM r. Merriam, of this
city, that he does not desire to be any longer
considered a candidate for the Republican
congressional nomination in this district
Mr.. Merram's candidacy has been very
warmly urged by numerous personal and po-
Iitical friends for several months, but ne has
never formally consented to run, and has
now definitely decided not to do so for
reasons sufficient to himself and satisfactory
to his friends.

UNITE on A CANDIDATE.

may proceed at once to do so. If such a
candidate is agreed upon, whether it be Mr..
Albert Scheffer or some other, the friends of
Mr.. Merriam, and that gentleman himself
will yield him cordial and earnest support.
This timely and manly action on the part
of Mr. Merriam leaves the field clear for a
united effort in favor of Mr.. Scheffer, if the
Republicans of Ramsey county desire to
make such an effort. As we have said often,
he makes no claims on the party, and does
not propose himself as candidate. But if,
with a reasonable degree of unanimity, they
shonld call him, we have no doubt that he
would accept the call, make the race, and, if
any man could, win the victory.

THE CAMPAIGN

promises now to be a very bitter and serious
one. The attempt of Mr.. Fletcher's commit
tee to precipitate matters by calling an
early convention, and to cheat the
smaller counties by cutting off the
delegate at large, to which each county
is by all precedent entitled, shows the des-
peration with which his cause is to be pushed.
Mr. Merriam doubtless finds himself unable
or unwilling to cope with such desperate
tactics, and very properly authorizes an early
announcement of his purpose, in order that

Highway Robbery.

As George Myers, resident of Maria av-
enue, was crossing the Seventh street bridge,
ats O'Clock last evening, he was pushed by
a crowd of bootblack hoodlums, one of whom
snatched his watch from his person. He
grabbed on to one John Finnel, the supposed
culprit and held him until relieved by an
officer, the balance of the gang meanwhile
pelting him with mud. At the city hall
Myers preferred a charge of highway robbery
against Finnell, and he will be tried before
Judge Burr this morning. The watch was
not recovered, and it is thought it was passed
to an accomplice who is also to be arrested,
his personnel being known to Myers.

rather cheerful and light spirited. No rel

THE LEGAL TENDER ACT
L. Declared 10 Unconstitutional by 'hH
United States Supreme Court.


WAsHrNGroN, March 3.-A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court Of the
United States this afternoon in the long
pending legal tender cs.e Of Julliford VS..
Greenman. The Court holds that the legal
tender act of March 3lst, 1878, is valid and

issued under it are good, and legal tender

by Justice Gray, Justice Field dissenting.
The Senate Committee on Public Lands
to-day decided, by nearly a unanimous
vote, in favor OF the forfeiture Of the
Texas Pacific Territorial Land Grant as
signed to the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company. motion was then made to re-
store the land to the public domain, and
pending action the committee adjourned.
To restore the lands Immediately to the
public domain without other action than
is provided for in the House bill would, in
the opinion of some members OF the COM
mittee, leave the land a subject Of appro-
pristion under existing laws for speculat-
i've purposes. 1t is proposed to consider,
and perhaps amend, the certain features OF
the House Dill, so as 10 make sure Tue
lands will be aysilable for no other pur
pose than actual settlement. A special
meeting probably will be called within q
day or two TO dispose Of the matter.
In the House, Mr.. Randall, under in
structions from the Committee on Appro
priations, reported back the letter from the
