brother had been tried for heresy, and,
finally, the charges were considered
proved and he was duly convicted. The
members sat silent, perhaps revolving in
their minds what punishment ought to
be mcted out to this erring brother, who
did not understand the book just as they
did. AT length the presiding bishop
asked


"What will the conference do with the
brother?'


Up rose Peter Sharp, and, with great
gravity, said, 81 move that he be burned
at the stake Themotion was a strong one
aud it brought into such glaring light the
folly of furnishing men for errors of jadg-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-As much has recently
been said in public prints about the re-coinng of
gold dollars into pieces of larger denominations, it
may be STAGED that orders for that purpose have
been issued from the Treasury Department in two
special cases only, and they representation that
the smaller coins occasion much inconvenience in
the receipts and disbursements; for sooner are
they paid out than they again returned, in
business transactions, there appearing to be re-
dundance of them among the commercial classes.


The Assistant Treasurer at New FORK was for
the greater facility in counting, authorised to
have about two millions Of them recoined, and the
Assistant Treasurer at St. Louis upward of one
hundred and fifty thousand for similar reasons
This re coinage, however, applies to the original
earlier issues, which it skuown smaller in cir
cumterence and thicker than the later and superior
coin. OF the former there are now nine millions,
and of the latter six millions in circulation.


While gold dollars are great convenience in
small, it is considered that there is redundance
of them for large transactions, and hence the re-
cent special orders in relation to the re coinage.
There does not seem to be any purpose so to re-
duce the amount of this description of coin as to
incony enience the public.

J CHARrrY.-Every association, institution

Walton of suffering, appeals directly to the
humanity of all, and no one prompted by
an intelligent humanity will fail to recog-
nize the appeal. We have among US numer-
GUS charitable associations and institutions,
and most prominent among them is the In
dustrial School. The object of this institu-
ton, as all know, is to provide for the desti-
tute, unprotected and abandoned children
who are common TO the low places of our
city, are who, if allowed to grow up without
restraint, knowing nothing of their moral
responsibility, and caring nothing, would
become the plaques of society, filing our
jails and penitentiaries, and increasing the
catalogue Of sin and crime. This school. we
say, is intended to provide for the mental,
moral, and physical requirements of this
class, and to that end it must have support
and assistance from those who are better sit
uated and do not need its interposition.-
Food and raiment are needed for these little
ones during the winter, and though the food
be not of the most dainty character, nor the
Taiment in the prevailing fashion, it viii be
acceptable, and the thanks of many little
heart will ascend to Heaven and blessing
be asked fer those who may so far forget

happiness of these homeless, parentless

A week or two ago, iour creditors started
from boston in the same train of cars for the
purpose Of attaching the property of certain
debtor in Pennington Maine. He owed each
one separately, and they were each suspicious Of

about it. So they rode, acquaintances all talk
ing about everything except that they had most
at heart. When they arrived at the depot at
Farmington which was three miles from where
the debtor did business. they found nothing but
a solitary cab, toward which they all rushed.
Three got in, refusing admittance to the fourth,
and the cab started. The fourth ran after and
mounted upon the outside with the driver. He
asked the driver il he wanted to sell his horse.
He replied that he did not-that he was not
worth more than $50, but he would not sell
him for that He asked him II he would take
500 for him. "Yes," said he. The fourth
man quickly paid over the money, took the
reins, and backed the cab up to q bank--slip-

a fanatical and growing party, which denies tha
under the Constitution, or by any other law
slave property can exist; and ultimately tn
struggle must come between this party and thu
National Democracy, sustained by all the othel
conservative elements in the Union.


think it will be impossible for candid mlnc
to discover hostility to the Union, or taint o
sectionalsm, in the resolutions ADOPTED by the
Convention. The Constitution and the Union
repose on the equality of the States, which lies
like broad foundation underneath our whole
political structure. As Iconstrue them, the res
olutions simply assert this equality. They de-
mand nothing for any State or section that is
not cheerfully conceded to all the rest. 1t is
we'll to remember that the chief disorder which
have afflicted our country have grown out of the
violation of State equality, and that as long as
this great principle has been respected, we have
been blessed with harmony and peace. Nor
will it be easy to persuade the country that res
olutions are sectional which command the sup
port of majority of the States, and are appro
we'd by the bone and body ofthe old Democracy
and by vast mass of conservative opinion eve-
rywhere, without regard to party.


1t has been necessary more than once in our
history to pause and solemnly assert the true
character of this Government. A memorable
instance occurred in the struggle which ended
in the civil revolution of 1900. The Republi-
cans of that day, like the Democracy of this,
were stigmatlzed as disunionists, but they nobly
conducted the contest under the Constitution
and saved our political system. By like con-
stitutional struggle it is intended now to assert
and establish the equality of the States as the
only basis of union and peace.


When this objects so national so constitutional
so just, shall be accomplished, the last cloud
will disappear from the American skyand with
common hands and harts the States and the
people will unite to develop the resources Of
the whole country, to bind it together with the
bonds of intercourse and brotherhood, and to
impel it onward in its great career. The Con-
sttuton and the equality of the States! These

Without rancor, and that temperate argument
will take the place ofhot words and passionate

our origin, our growth, and all our prosperity,
will continue to protect our beloved country
against all danger, foreign and domestic.
