To the Editor Of the EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: On account Of the indefinite way
in which the Campbell case, now
pending in the Presbytery Of New
Castle-is spoken of In the newspapers OF
the city, inquiries are frequently made.
which show that, by many excellent per-
sons, am supposed TO be the person on
trial. For long time l have passed the
matter over without notice, believing
that the facts would be sufficiently un.
derstood. or gradually explained without
special effort on my part. But the recent
account of the action Of the presbytei Y
on the 10th inst, as given in the EVEN
ING JOURNAL of January II, and in other
city papers, seems TO have had the eff
feet of directing the inquiring attention
of estimable people, with even in
creased scouting, towards the under
signed. While ia enc aspect of the matter,
the final discovery-this would be advan.
tageous, it is unpleasant and perhaps
hurtful to be thought to be "a partaker
OF other mems sins. Although to be
fair to the accused brother andas q mem.
Der Of the same synod, though not in the
same presbytery, do not think he hiss
committed such ''sins" as to deserve to
be publicly impaled or pillored, as he
has been. | believe that in the end he
will appear as one who has been uniustly
and unchari.ably treated with needless
severity. But write this to say that
am not Rev J. r Campbell or New Cas-
tie Presbytery, Synod OF Baltimore. but
WILLIAM w. CAMPBELL.

IT does not now seem possible that
there can be any mis-cue on the free coin
age silver bill The pressure for favor
able action on this measure has become
so great, and the monetary and mercan-
tile interests of the nation go urgently
demand it, that we can not but regard the
thing as practically accomplished. And
while this means great deal for the
west, particularly the Rocky mountain
mining region, 1t also is fraught with
great import for the whole country
When it is done it will mark an epoch
in the history of the nation. 1t means
an expansion OF the currency and liber-
al supply OF money for the prosecution
of numberless enterprises, public and
private, which are now at stahdstill for
want of funds. To the silver producing
states it means stimulus to mining in
dustries, which will result in the en-
plovment of thousands OF men and a
general prosperity such as never before
occurred in the history OF the country.
