SCOTCH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

congregational Meetfng FAeid Last
Evenfng-The PASTORS Report.
The congregational meeting of the Scotch
Church proved a happy and suspicious
affair. After the report Of the trustees
showing a small balance against the church.
The Rev. David Mitchell read a carefully
prepared statement, showing the church to
AVE been well sustained during his eight
years residence here, the various societies to
be strong and active, and the music under
Prof. Brewster to nave reached a high stan
dard. The church property was in good
condition and free of mortgage. All the
trouble there was consisted in a little debt
which had originated by some taxes on the
lots before becoming church property not
having been paid. This had to be settled. 1t
was besides clear from deaths and removals
elsewhere that the system OF raising rev
enue by purely voluntary offerings without
pew rents had to be readjusued. To keep
things right on this plan there would re-
quire to be a neatly printed circular on the
subject put into the hands of every new COM
municant OF new family. There was moth
thing to hinder them returning to the old
pew system, If this were the desire of the
majority. Perhaps the best plan was the
combined one of pew rents and voluntary Of
ferings according to preference. DR.. Mitchell

pay off this small Indebtedness, first by sub
scription, and secondly by q social in the
manse. When told there was still something
to pay, he felt discouraged, and resolved
either to have their affairs put right, at once
and for all, or resign. AS a pastor willing
to give way, If SO desired, he was at liberty
to express himself plainly OF what he thought
would advance the best interests of their
Zion. He advised that much attention be
given to ushering at the church doors, to
welcoming strangers, to receiving the col
lection every service with OBLIGATORY prayer.
He plead for any pastor who might come
after him to have q fairly representative at
tendance at the Sunday evening and We'd
nesday services. A minister was nothing by
himself. He was but the generator of cleo
tricity. The people were the wires. and rails
and cars constituting the road. They were
there together fer the public service. He
would always take a keen interest in the
Scotch Church, and to the extent of his
ability uphold the pastors hands in the con-
duct and extension of their Saviour's cause
DIR. Mitchell then retired. Upon the mo
ton of Mr.. John Young, which was carried,
steps were taken to improve the finances. A
majority inclined TO continue the voluntary
system and to improve upon it. In all prob
ability a combined plan of pew rents and
voluntary contributions will be adopted. Nc
one took to the idea of the pastors resigna-
ton. A soiree will be given this evening il

for 1884, and that unless the amount is
produced in short order the city of Hoboken
will be sued.

The sewer is broken and the water is never
drained from the meadows. The stencil, in
consequence, is dangerous to health. In
warm weather, when the windows must be
opened, the danger would be increased. The
matter was referred to the Committee on
Sewers in conjunction with the Corporation
Attorney. A similar complaint has been
made to the Jersey City Street and Water

A GOOD MOVE.
Councilmen Stegnan and Timken intro
duced the following resolution

This evoked considerable discussion.
Councilman Fenton thinks the bill a very
good one. He thought the Recorder needs

ANXIOUS OoNGREssMEN.
G.. Bragg Fielder Doesn't Believe He
Will BE Renominated.

SptCtut 10 tto JUo cy CIU AtINo-
WASHINGTON. D. c., April 10, 1s94.-The
new redistricting bill is regarded by the
Democratic members of the New Jersey
delegation as surely giving to the Democrats
three districts out of the eight in the State.
The trio that are to be saved, if these pre-
dictions prove correct, are Representatives
G-eissenhainer, Cornish and G.. Bragg Fielder.
The first named has not as yet definitely an
nounced his determination to again be a can
didate, and there is also an impression that
Fielder will not be renominated.
Mr.. Dunn is Borrowing over three thous-
and Republican votes added to his district,
but he is not confident that if he makes a
fight he can carry it despite the disadvant-
age to overcome a large Republican major
ity. Mr.. Cadmus is non-comm1ttal. These
dispatches lave already given DR.. Englisn's
view of che situation. He thinks that he
can carry his district notwithstanding the
fact that to the city of Newark have been
added the Essex county townships. At the
same time there is no question but that the
proposed redistribution is attracting a good
deal of anxious attention among the Con-
gressmen, although they appear to De more
or less confident OF the outcome.

mar Cornish, and was not at all satisfied
with the result.
II know how I got the postmastership four
years ago" he said, finally, land | am going
to do the same thing again. / am going to
the White House and see Cleveland"
Mr.. Jacobus and the President were born
in the same town of Caldwell, and between
the two there has always been a friendship.
When Mr.. Jacobus was appointed in Cleve-
lands first term it was after a long inter-
view with the President, and it was no
wonder that he thought it would be a
good idea to try the same tactics again. So
over to the White House he went, passed the
doorkeepers and straight up the broad stair
case to the room of the private secretary.
There he was stopped. He made known his
errand to Mr.. Thurber, but the latter would
not let him into the Presidents private
room.
ssThe President is busy said Mr.. Thurber,
ssand you had better come again"
Mr.. Jacobus is by no means discouraged,
and will be on hand early this morning.
Mr.. Ira Blazer, who is another candidate
for the office, and who has been recon-
mended by the County Executive Commit
tee, as well as by other leading democrats,

Senator Turpie's True Democracy.

Senator Turpie's True Democracy.
The speech of Senator David Turpie
of Indiana, delivered yesterday, had
the true Democratic ring. David
Bennett Hill, the Arnold of Elmira,
and James Smith, Jr., the Newark
political juggler, were not present
to hear it; but the lash Of the old
mans honest indignation fell none
the less across their faces, leaving the
marks of their shame thereon, for all
time.
The speech was a splendid array of
Democratic maxims. They should be
copied In letters OF gold upon the
standards of the party, and the young
men should be brought up upon them
