THAT CHURCH A FFAIR.

The Senate of the United States
long since passed Bill, allowing the
German Evangelical Congregation of
this town, partial payment for their
church, destroyed during the war.
It has been hanging in the House of
Representatives, high and dry, ever
since. Senator Faulkner did his duty.
Can Mr.. Wilson, the representative
from this district, give any plausi-
BILE reason for delay in the House =?
If so, these people will be glad to
hear from him. He has had years of
experience, and they expect him to
do right by them, and be as prompt
and as energetic as Senator Faux
ner. This matter is the subject of
much comment in our midst, and the
delay is not appreciated. We re-
spectfully urge immediate action.

JUDGE JACKSON'S CHARGE.

After the impanelling of the Grand
Jury in the U. S. Circuit Court, on
Wednesday last, Judge Jackson de-
livered very impressive charge upon
some important subjects. The first
was in reference to the violation of
election laws, by illegal voting and
by the purchase of voters. The
second was in reference to exorbitant
and unlawful charges made by per-
sons upon those who obtained pen
sions, and the third was in reference
to perjury by witnesses, testifying in
Court. The Judge was very earnest
and firm in his remarks, and portray
ed the Nervousness and deplorable re-
suits of these offenses in vivid colors,
and we regret exceedingly that we
are unable to publish verbatim re-
port.

THAT pRESB YTERTAN CLERGY
NAN.

The Statesman, copies from the
Philadelphia Record, a letter purport-
ing to be written by Presbyterian
Clergyman from Berkeley County"
attacking John Wannamaker for con-
tributing funds to the Republican
National Committee. 1t is one-sid-
ed, puerile production, looking at The
mote in his brothers eye, only. The
Clergyman, God save the mark, says
nothing about Cleveland, himself
President and candidate, contribu-
ting $4,000, or of the levy that was
made upon office-holders generally
contributions by democratic Senators,
merchants and millionaires. 1t is idle
for the pot to be calling the kettle
black. Did the Clergyman vote for
Harrison, or Cleveland, or for Fiske ?
In either event, on the money ques-
ton, he can find plenty of such filth
to sweep from his own doors.

Ma TIONAL BANKRUPT Id W.

After four years of terrible finan-
cial depression, that has resulted in
great loss to the business interests Of
the country and brought disaster and
ruin to many honest men, it seems
fair and proper, that an equitable
bankrupt law should be enacted by
Congress for their relief. Such a
law should be so guarded as to pre-
vent unfair advantage being taken of
it by rascals There are plenty Of
honest men, who through judgment,
and executions, as well as by assign
ments, have yielded up all their prop
erty to their creditors, and who are
unable to make any progress or trans
act business, because the creditors
seize everything at first opportunity.
Such men need relief, and State in
solvent laws being limited to State
territory, cannot give such general
protection as National bankrupt
law. The Soions Of Congress should
devise and enact such law before
the close OF the present session.

of the change. 1t is poetical and

THE Frederick Ministerial Associ-
alton of the NJ. u. Church that has
Just closed its session in our city,
was of interest to all. The discus
sions were marked by eloquence, in
telligence and research. Among the
ministers in attendance were many
who have won high reputation for
their scholarship and piety. We no
ticed the genial faces of Revs. Leech,
Roberts, Cornelius and Grifiith-all
able men-and at various periods
pastors here. They looked well, and
took active parts in the discussions.
Rev. Edwards also did much to ami
mate the session. He is wide-awake
and original. We are sorry court
business kept us away most of the
time. The session proved a success,
and will be long remembered by the
visiting members and our people.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. l5.-For
the first time in nearly three months a
train load of passengers left here yesterday
morning fer the cities of the North via
Macon. Passengers focked into the car
and were not allowed to leave it until
they reached Macon. The party con-
sisted OF seventeen persons.
A negro was taken suddenly Ill Tues
day afternoon at South Jacksonville. At
5 o'clock yesterday he died. An autopsy
was ordered. DIR. Gibier, a famous Paris
scientist, conducted the examination. The
condition of the kidneys and intestines
plainly showed d typical case of fever.
DR.. Gibier secured some of the intestinal
fluids and will search for yellow fever mi
crobes. The board of health has appor-
toned the tow into medical districts.

From the Atlantic seaboard daily journey
thousands of immigrants, hosts of enter
prising tourists for pleasure, occasional
European seekers for material for books
on America, multitudes of hardy native
and foreign agriculturalists and artisans,
all eager, all expectant, but all unaccus-
toned to the new climate of the frontier,
and all ~unft-unless protected with a
medicinal safeguard-to encounter mala
ria, the chief foe TO health in regions
newly cleared and opened up for settle
ment. These western-bound travellers
will find in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
the safety from malarial infection they
might vainly seek from other sources.
Tried in all parts of the world, under ext
gencies the best fitted to show its value,
it has failed nowhere under the most ex.
acting conditions. In So many lands is it
in request that the demand for it may
well be termed universal. Not only ma
laria, but constipation, dyspepsia, bilious.
ness. rheumatism, debility, nervousness
and naction of the kidneys are thoroughly
relieved by it.
