A REpENTANT SPIRrTUALIsT. Rev.
Samuel Watson, of Tennessee, q Methodist
minister, has got into trouble through writing
and publishing ''heretical' book under the
attractive title of ssThe Clock Struck One"
The Memphis Conference of the Methodist
Church, having examined the work, find it to
be defence Of Spiritualism. The reverend
author has been compelled to apologize for his
literary effort and to agree to withdraw it from
circulation as fan as possible. It contains
numerous letters from citizens Of Tennessee,
long since dead, and is no doubt amusing
reading. The action Of the Conference will
make every person anxious to purchase
copy, and hence it may after all be fortunate
for the author that he has been hauled over
the Goals. 1t is q curious fact that the world
is never SO anxious to read book as when it
has been pronounced unfit for perusal.

On Friday the lower branch of the Spanish
Cortes adopted the first section of the clerical
budget by vote of one hundred and four
against forty-four. So far as we know the
facts in the case this vote is adverse to the
Spanish clergy and in favor of the separation
of Church and State. 1t is well known that
since the downfall of Isabella the Spanish
Church has been in open collision with the
government, and that the clergy have not been
receiving their wonted emoluments. The
Spanish Church is the greatest enemy of
Amadeus In Spain the Savoyard family is

What with the fight which is now
going on in Germany, and which is just be-
ginning in Austria it is becoming more and
more difficult to say whether the declaration
of infallibility was not a mistake or rather
huge blunder. With Germany antagonistic,

and unwilling to be reconciled, it does seem
as if the Romish Church Of the future was to
find its field of action apart from, and inde-
pendent Of State support and control. One
thing is clear-a new departure is necessary.
If the Church of Rome will accept the judg-
ment OF the world and adopt the new depar-
ture, its future may be more glorious than its
glorious past. If it chooses to remain welded
to ancient ideas it must suffer humiliation
more and more. A vigorous anti-Church
movement in Spain indicates the prospect Of
healthful national life.

DELIVERED BEFORE THE LAMoILLE COUNTY
GOOD TEMPLAR' UNION, AT STOWE, VERMONT,
FEBRUARY 9th, 1872, BY c. F. sPAFFonD.
My brothers and sisters of ''Spunky'' LamOille,
Who take pride in our cause and help on the


toll


greet you, each one, glad welcome to-day,
As you listen awhile to what shall say.
We re met here to-day as we we met oft be-


fore,


To help on the temperance cause on our shores
To say to each other some words of good cheer
And to ourselves, 'it's good to be here"
My subject have none; but taking my quill
shall let my thoughts run about as they will
just trying to keep them in pathways of truth,
That they may be safe to guide old age oryouth.
We have for ourselves very broad platform
Embracing all classes of social reform;
Let this be our motto, I" what fails to improve
The condition of man, we should try to remove -
Whatever ennobles and raises man up
And free him from wrong (though it may not


be the cup),


is worthy at least, of a passing thought here,
Although it may not in our bylaws appear.
So if, in this rhyme, seem wand ring in mind
Remember tits all for the good of mankind.
There are in this comfy some thirty odd score
And perhaps in ercess very few more,
Who are bound with ourselves to fight rum till


death


And never allow it to tincture our breath.
Our subject is noble, and oft in my mind
I've thought of this question, why do we not


find


Still more of the people who make up our towns
(Who are ready to go where money abounds)
Within these bright walls in our Good Templars


band,


As brothers and sisters to take by the hand?
OF the people outside there are many classes
While some of them don't, others do take their


glasses.


But all have reason, they think is quite good
Why they each should keei. clear of our brother


hood. di 1ol
Go and ask some to join and note the excuse
That these various folks to you will make use;
1t would be like the guests invited of yore,
To a rich mans house, to partake of his store:
Their wires or their oren we're found in the way
And therefore, they must be excused on that


day.
Perhaps we can think of, by searching our mind,
An answer TO some of the reasons we fnd
Which may prove in our hands means of de-


fense G9 ni
And with this advantage, It's free from expense.
Let's begin at the head or with the first-class,
This is one who never indulge in glass,
But who say when you ask, /" to you I'm op-


posed if
Because you are secret and keep your doors


closed.


If your ORDERS so nice without any doubt
You would open your doors and let it come out
Where the whole of mankind could go if they


pleased


And then we would go there without being


teased,


To such would say, without any doubt,
There are secrets plenty they'll never find out,

tion to put down rates by law. The more discreet
advocates Of these measures, however, acknowl-
edge that the acts Of single State, even il
enforced, will not reach the evil OF high freight
charges Eastward-the main difficulty in the
case-which are controlled by roads running
through several States. They, therefore, call
upon Congress to take the matter in hand. If it
is supposed that legislation is actually remedy
for the existing melancholy state Of things,
then it is desirable that its consideration
should be devo1ved upon 9 body not only
possessing higher range Of intelligence
than the average State Legislature but also
Jurisdiction wide enough to cover the ground.
Perhaps Congress can devise q way to carry
two carloads OF freight in one car, or can call
cars and locomotives from the vastly deep; or,
failing in that, can compel railroad to carry
the freight Of a B at half the present price,
at the expense OF not carrying the freight Of G
D at all. The truth of the matter is, that the
carrying capacity Of the roads from Lake nIichi-
gan to the Atlantic is inadequate. Shippers bid
against each other for freight-room, and there
by put prices up. Nevertheless, if legislation is
to be applied to the matter at all, let it be some
legislation broad enough to deal with in its en-
tirety, and not merely the aggregating nonsense
Of the separate States which keeps the word OF
promise to the ear and breaks it to the hope.

Public Treasury. The surplus revenue Of s110,-
600, 900 is collected from the foreign commerce
Of the country, and represents only the share
falling to the Government from the division OF
the tax between itself and certain privileged
classes.


The financial pressnre,-the want Of active
capital.-is quite as severe as it was six weeks
ago and the worst OF it is, that there is no proH-
pect Of relief 80 long as the causes continue.
When it is Remembered that each dollar Of reYe-
nue. collected under the tax on importa involves
the payment OF another dollar as bounty to pri-
vate persons, it will be readily understood that
the repeal Of taxes On imports, now yielding
$4,000, 900, would be a direct relief to the peo-
pie Of twice that sum. The continuance OF this
tax is withdrawal from the hands Of the peo-
pie annually OF over two hundred millions Of
dollars, in order to purchase Herewith one-ha1f
OF that amount of the principal Of the public
debt, which is not yet due. Let us zee how the
people Of the United States are taxed at this
time. We give the figures OF National taxation

The Government of the United States is at
this time engaged in collecting taxes to the
amount of s1o0, 900 year to pay the prin-
cipal Of the public debt, not yet due, bearing
per cent interest, and the people are put to ex-
tremities to borrow tho money at 2 Per cent
month to pay these very taxes. He submit that
this is not economy, and is not craftsmanship.
The man who lives beyond his income, and is
forever drawing upon his capital is properly set
down as deficient in Judgment, and the question
of his collapse is one merely Of time; and the
man who borrows money at 2 per cont month
in order to take up debt that has fYo to twenty
years to run, and bears only S per cent interest,
can hardly be said to have any very clear
conceptions of financial wisdom.


We have at this time financial system and
policy #hich are the wonder and astonishment
Of civilized mankind. It is the Boutwelian sys-

It will be remembered that some time ago
Messrs. Hopkins and Carpenter, Of the New
York firm OF Hopkins & Co., we're arrested in
Michigan upon writ Of ne exeat, and were made
to yield oontract which they had for complet-
ing railroad from Lansing to Chicago, as veil
as the stock which had been advanced to them
on this contract. They had been agents for ne
gotiating the bonds Of the Railroad
Company, and had advanced money to
the Company, Having subsequently taken
the contract to build the road
themselves they had received an advance Of
sufficient stock to give them CONTROL and had
proceeded to Michigan for the purpose Of elect
ing their Directors. Hence the arrest. The
bail WAS fixed so high that they we're forced to 8
settlement, by which thoy surrendered all the
stock and bonds they had As some OF these
bonds subsequently, found their way into the
hands Of another Kew York agent. Hopkins 1;
Co. sued for an injunction in the New York
courts, and for the protection Of the lien which
they had for moneys formerly advanced. The
injunction WIS granted, and decree has been
entered that the bonds must be brought into
court, that the amount OF the Hopkins claim may
be ascertained.

The telegraph, in our last issue, brought the
boilers and ranges, caused by the sudden cold.
Some of them proved fatal to kitchen employees,
and all Of them we're marked by unusual force
and violence, in some cases oven Blattering
rooms to pieces. Tho kitchen range in the Cath
ollc Orphan Asylum of this city exploded yester-
day morning, leaving that institution, with its
$50 inmates without the means Of cooking, and
there have undoubtedly been numerous othor
explosions of this kind here, although none Of
them, as far as We know, have proved fatal. Peo-
pie cannot exercise too much caution in regard
to tho caro- Of their plumbing during
this intensely cold weather. The water should
be turned off, both above and below, at night,
and the faucets left open so as to run off au
that is left in tho pipes. This will give a free
circulation OF air through the pipes and may
prevent freezing and tile consequent bursting Of
pipes. In kindling the morning fires, also, great
care should be taken not to expose the water
pipes in tho stove or range to an intense and
sudden heat. These pipes are apt to be burned
out or clogged up with deposit before one is
aware, go that the circulation Of water is very
defective. In such cases, the chances
of explosion are very much increased.
An additional precaution is to lot
the water of from the boiler at stated intervals.
Too much care cannot be exercised, as it re-
quires but very little freezing Of very little
water to de1ange the whole system Of plumb
ing in house. The cold-water pipes can be
easily managed it the water is thoroughly run
of. Tho most danger is to be apprehended
from the hot-water pipes and tire prudent
housekeeper who wishes to avoid very serious
plumbing bill, and perhaps worse results, will
use every procaution with regard to these while
the cold weather lasts.

As rule, there is no worse enemy to the COM

creature, who is not satisfied to let we'll enough

where ignorance is bliss. When that creature
commences his Investigations Of matters which

he disturbs our peace with the most horrible
revelations, and yet suggests no remedy. It is
his chief delight to concern himself with what

pounded Of dopei and SO on, to the end of the

after the coffee and walnuts, at peace with our
