The board of visitors of Andover Semin-
AIRY has decided that it has jurisdiction in
the case of the five professors and the
tvial of the latter for breach OF contract
will go on. II is wei to bear in mind that
this is not strictly a t'lal for hcresy, in the
pldiL'rN sense of those words. The legal
que ion j. whether the professors h I've
broken their contract with the seminary
Us teaching doctrines ut variance with the
creed they subscribed. A card recently
published by Dr.. Dexter, editor Of the
men who have preferred the charges
against the professors, explaining the
technical point, contains statements which
able lawyers in Boston consider clearly
lbe,lous The Boston idrcrtiScr says:
II the five professors should take the

nru.jCJl theological phrases gives the
differing parties the legal right to charge
insincerity, fasehood, breach of trust,
AMI in fact perjury and simony. This has
been extensively done by the COHQrCgr
i0HdIjSt and by the opponents of the
AudoVer professors generally. Indeed, it
is the prGVamen of the charges against
them, that they are obtaining money
under false pretences" In the pgu-eCti-
ton which Dr. Dexter and others have
volunteered 10 institute, this accusation
has been used not only 10 iniure the good

them OF their means of support In this

An exchange makes the excellent sug-
gestion that inventive talent should ap-
ply itself to the providing of such heating
and lighting arrangements for railroad
cars that TO fire can follow smash no.
Why cannot this be done? In the great
majority OF railroad disasters occurring
during the cold season, the horrors of fire
are the most terrible of all ; and if these
could in some way be avoided, the loss OF
life and the amount of suffering would be
much less than is now apt to be the case
The railroads of this country would be
willing to pay literally for an invention
which would secure the travelling public
against the danger of fire in railroad acct
dents.

There has seldom been a time when the
stream OF foreign immigration has poured
upon our shores with such steady and
increasing volume as during the past four
months. The number of arrivals in the
month of September alone was 401 04l
which represents an increase of 30 per
cent over the same month last year. The
cause Of this rapid increase is said to he
the fact that the times are harder in Eu
rope than for some time past, while they
are rapidly lettering in this country.
Whether the present enormous accession
TO our population is matter of congratu-
ton, is seriously to be questioned. a
large number of those who come to Us
during times of financial depression are
idle, troublesome and criminal persons,
who seek this country in the hope of sup
plying themselves from our abundance
without work.

that the party is in power, it is evidently

move in this direction, there is significance
in the recent decision of Attorney General
Garland that when national banks sur
render called bonds they must replace
them with notes bearing interest or retire
circulation. The national banks, how
ever, will be apt to resist this decision
