The report of the board of trustees of the
American Church Building Fund Commission
was read. 1t showed that during the past year
the trustees had granted loans to ffty-four
churches and missions in sums varying from
$3.50 to So. 300. The total amount paid out dur
ing the year was 1872, 900.
The two houses then went into joint session
as a board of missions.
The board, adopting the ideas of Bishop Nc
Laren and Others declined to interfere in the
management of the woman's auxiliary.
The burning question in legislation for the
missionary work-appropriatons for domestic
mlssions-was then taken up. The board OF
managers had reduced the appropriations for the
current quarter 20 per cent on domestic work
and per cent. on the foreign. Lack Of money
was the assigned. Earnest protests
against reduction were entered by Bishop Whip
pie. OF Minnesota, aud Bishop Hare, Of South
Dakota.
An eloquent appeal for the old amounts was
also made by DIR. VIM. S. Langford, general
secretary of the board of managers He warmly
defended the board of managers against the
charge that it was autocratic and inclined to
arrogate power He advocated the endowment
of missionary episcopates
The discussion was prolonged until late in the
evening. Finally resolution of sympathy with
the board of managers in their financial per-
plexity was passed, aud then, by vote of 68 to
56, 1t Was agreed that the appropriations for the
remainder of this year should not be reduced.
The board of managers were ordered to restore
the appropriations to the old basis, trusting to
God and the laty to supply any deficiency.
The board elected MIR. r. Fulton Cutting. of
New York, its treasurer. On the board OF man.
ayers, Rev. VIM. Lawrence of Massachusetts.
and Mr. James M. Brown, of New York, were
chosen in place of Rev. DIR. Schenck, deceased,
and Mr.. Cutting made treasurer.
The board then adjourned sine die.

The report Of the committee on temperance
was highly commended on all sides. It is under
stood to be the work of Rev. O. A. Thompson, of

| tended them by the people of NATION.

Branyan's Hypocrisy Exposed.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MARION, Oct 22.-In more than one instance
has James c. Branyan, Major Steeles opponent
in this district, been convicted of the most
arrant demagogy. During the present can
vass, in every speech made by him. Branyan
has denounced the Republican party as the
guilty partner of the corporations and the
railroads. The land grants has been a
topic on which he has howled long and loud HIS
hypocrisy on this Is easily exposed By some po-
litical mischance he once represented Hunting
ton county in the Legislature In the session of
1877 he was asked to record himself on the rail
road question. He did so, and got on the wrong
side The bill was to restrict railroads
to fair charges and equitable prac
tees in their dealings with the
the public But Mr.. Branyan refused to sup
port it, and voted squarey against it. For proof
reference Is made to the House journal for 1877
pages 802 TO 804 The record of Mr.. Branyan on
this question appeared this week in every Re-
publican paper in the district, and it will have a
telling effect.

Resoloe6, That the Democrats of
Calcasieu in mass meeting assembled
declare in unmistakable terms their
condemnation of the Louisiana mem
bers in Congress who voted with the
majority of the Republican members
of Congress and against the Morrison
Bill, which bill we believe was in
keeping with the Chicago platform,
and, therefore, those who were elected
under the same were bound, in good
faith, to carry out these principles"
After debate, the following substi-
tute, offered by Mr.. Thad Mayo, was
adopted:
ReSol0ed, That taxation Of the peo-
pie for other purposes than raising
revenue for the expenses of the gov
overnment, economically administered,
is robbery under the form of law.
That we are in favor Of a reduction Of
the present unjust tariff to a revenue
basis, and heartily indorse the action
of those Democratic Representatives
in Congress who were faithful TO the
cause of tariff reform.
When on motion, duly seconded,
the following were elected delegates

Some of our monied men and enter.
prising citizens are endeavoring to
revive the street railroad project
which, unhappily, has laid dormant
for the past twelve months. A street
railroad running from Pithon's gully
along Ryan street to the corner of Di-
vision, ont Division to Hodges, up
Hodges to Lawrence, ont Lawrence to
Moss street, and thence to the L. w.
r. r. depot would be a great conven-
fence to our people, and in our opinion,
by proper management, could be made
paying enterprise. One of the many
inducements to be favorably consider
ed for the building of this road is the
rapid growth of Lake Charles, which
will no doubt more than double its
present population during the next
ten years, which would not only guar
antoe the success of the enterprise but
would justify it's projectors in extend
ing their lines on many other streets.
By all means let US have street rail
road as the convenience of the people
together with the towns growing
wealth demands we should.
