PUBLICATION COMMITTEE.
The Report of the Publication Commit
tee was made to the Assembly by the Secre
tary, on Friday. We give an abstract of
it :
In the widening influence and grow
ing usefulness of the work entrusted to
their care, !lie Committee find ample justi
fication of its inception, as well as stimulus
for its prosecution. They trust that the
prosperity which now crowns the enterprise
is but the token of that future enlargement
which shall make it an instrument of bless
ing to our churches, our country, and the
kingdom of Christ.
During the period now under review,
ithe Committee have added to their list
rooks and tracts, which, they are assured,
will be gladly received and used by the
churches. Keeping before them the wants
of their constituency, spread over so broad
a surtace, and in circumstances so widely
differing, they have aimed to putlish that
which would prove of value to the greatest
number. If any book or tract should seem
to some less needful, let it be remembered
that, under the varying circumstances of
'the city pastor and the prairie missionary,
of the church with wealth and the church
,with poverty, what to one is superfluous is
lo another a grateful boon. For the abun
lant commendation which their issues
we thus far received from pastors, church
=hers, and the press, the Committee
we every reason to be
,thankful. It will
), as it has been, the steady' aim of the
immittee to winnow the works submitted
their judgment, so that the wheat may
retained and the chaff rejected. .

SALES AND DONATIONS.
The issue of these new works, and the
increasing means for their diffusion by sale
id by gratuitous distribution, are telling
ion the business success of the enterprise.
wing to the cessation of a large amount of
les for the army made the previous year
the Christian Commission, we had feared
Ant the sales of the past year would not
equal those of the preceding one. Bui we
are happy to report a somewhat larger
total, viz., $26,255 56, as sales for the
year ending March 315t,1866. Adding to
this sum books and tracts gratuitously dis
tributed, to the value of $4299 27, we
have a total circulation of $40,554 83. In
view of the youth of our enterprise, this
result is very gratifying. That our work
will grow not only steadily but rapidly is
our trust, for we have abundant evidence
of its ad aptation to the wants of our churches
and country.
GRANTS
Our grants of books and tracts have been
received with 'the warmest thanks by our
feeble churches and Home Missionaries
all over the land. That an agency of this
character is needed, and that it will prove
widely useful as a supplementary agency to
our Home Missionary work, cannot be
questioned by any one conversant with the
facts. During the past year our Commit
tee of Home Missions have been commis
sioning men from the Atlantic coast to the
shores of the Pacific, to labor as Home
Missionaries, as Presbyterial Missionary
Agents, as Synodical Missionaries. Enter
ing upon their work of organizing new
churches, and resuscitating those feeble
and ready to die, they immediately need
what the Home Missionary Committee was
not organized to furnish, but which the
Publication Committee was intended to
supply. Not merely in new States and Ter
ritories; not only in States lately desolated
by war, but in the old States also, in Dela
ware, in Pennsylvania, and in New York,
as well as in the Central West and West,
a multitude of our churches will hail• the
aid which their brethren may and should
furnish them through the press of their
own Publication Committee.
.
The increasing number of applications
for donations received by the Committee,
indicates the increase of appreciation of
the work laid upon them by the Assembly.
These applications are not to diminish, but
to increase,
for the call of Providence to
our branch of the Church is " to go for
ward!' Our correspondence shows that
there is not a State in our connection in
which there are not mission fields right
fully appealing to the benevolent depart,
ment of our publication work.
AN APPEAL
In view of this fact,rthe Committee may..
properly ask our :pastors to recognize this
call, , and see that the collection for "Pub
lication" isregularly taken in their churches
at a set time, in each year:
Some of our Sabbath-schools have sent,
during the year past, contributions for the
assistance of children less favored than
themselves. Such gifts will be gladly re
ceived, and directly appropriated to needy
Sabbath-schools connected with our chur
ches or missions. We beg of our brethren
to remember that the Publication Commit
tee have no collecting agents—that we de
pend solely and entirely upon them for
free-will offerings to this good work for the
Lord's sake. •
THE PRESBYTERIAN MONTHLY
In compliance with the instructions of
the last General Assembly, The Presbyte
rian Monthly, a magazine representing the
Committees charged by the General Assem
bly with its works of benevolence, has been
issued. The subscription price has been
made low, with a view to secure its wide
circulation, as it is believed that the dif
fusion of the information which it contains
will be the basis of an increase of giving,
that will fully compensate for the expense
incurred by its publication. Subscriptions
'to the magazine come in well, yOt not so
many as we wish. Our desire is that it
may go into every family in, every •one of
our churches.

THE PRESBYTERIAN HOUSE
The enlarging business of the Committee,
and the increase of stock, call for enlarged
acoomodations. Accordingly an extension of
the building is in process of erection,: in
the rear of the bookstore and on the west
side of the lot. This addition will be 22
feet wide, 103 feet deep, and two stories in
height. The lower floor and basement
will be used by the Committee, and the
second story will be rented.
PRESBYTERIAL COMMITTEES
The recommendation of the General As
sembly, that " each Presbytery appoint a
minister or elder to see to it that the Pub-
lication cause is presented annually to the
churches in its connection, and to secure
contributions to it," has been acted upon
during the past year to a very gratifying
extent. In some cases there has been a
zealous attention to the work of securing a
contribution from each church, and in
creasing interest in the circulation of pub
lications, deserving of the thanks of the
Church, as well as of the Committee, whom
it has encouraged and strengthened. It is
hoped that the. Presbyterial agents for Pub
lication will remember that the success of
the work depends, under God, much upon
them. Their action or inaction will be
followed in very ' many churches of the
Presbytery by a corresponding 'action or
inaction. Any expenses incurred, if re
ported to the,Oommittee, will be gladly
repaid.
The Report treats also of Colportage,
and notes the appointment of Rev. S. W,
Crittenden, as Business Superintendent.
The officers are Rev. Albert Barnes, Chair
man; Mr. Wm. L. Hildeburn, Treasurer;
Rev. John W. Dulles, Secretary and Edi
tor.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 24. 1866.
A writer in The Episcopalian of May 5,
makes out a case which may well startle
other denominations implicated, as well as
his own, and which especially shames the
petulance of those so-called Christians, who
are ever complaining of the calls for pecu
niary contributions for the cause of Christ.
He says :
• A very suggestive train of thought is
started by the . following facts—which may
be allowed to speak for themselves.
By the journal of the General Conven
tion of 1862 (the latest at hand), as far as
can be gathered from the imperfect char
acter of the tabular Digest of the various
Dioceses, it will be seen that, for the three
years preceding that General Convention,
the total amount of contributions by twenty
Dioceses was about $3,310,482 54. These
reports are, some of them, avowedly imper
fect. Now supposing, for the sake of mak- 1
ing the most liberal allowance for the im
perfections, and for the unreported amounts
expended in pew rents, &c. &c., we double
this sum total. We shall find it to show
about $6,600,000 (in round numbers) con
tributed by one of the most wealthy eccle
siastical bodies (if not the moat wealthy) in
the country, . as represented by twenty Dio
ceses, for the support or propagation of , the
Gospel'here, and in heathen lands. But it
is to be remembered that this is' for three
years ; which, on an average, gives $2,000,-
000 'a year, as the recognition of -" Stew
ardship" by twenty Dioceses : New York,
Pennsylvania, Connecticiit and Maryland,
being the largest contributors.
This is suggestive fact number one.
Number two is gained from the New York
letter in the Philadelphia Press of Monday
April 9, 1866.
There has been a grand "ball season" in
the Metropolis during the past winter. It
has come to an end. "leis' eitimated by
a statistician,,,ko has 'kept an interesting
record' Of these amusements, that the
fignires and items show the probable cost"

From an estimate of the number of Epis
copalians who were in this vast pleasure
seeking throng, it is inferred that the ratio
of expenditure for personal gratification to
that for the religions and charitable objects
of the Church is the same as that shown
above.
Thirty and a half millions ! The amount
expended on social gaiety alone being in a
single season nearly five times as much as
the whole Episcopal Church, by a liberal
estimate, expended during three years upon
the various objects of religious care !

day there will be to each one a solemn audit

. "A WHITE MAN'S GOVERNMENT."
Hon. Daniel Clark, of -New Hampshire,
made an able argument in the United States
Senate for equal suffrage recently, from
which we take the following
Mr. President, my house once took fire
in the night-time. My two little boys were
asleep in it. When I and their mother
were away, the neighbors rushed into it,
saved the children, and extinguished the
flames. ' When I reached it, breathless and
exhausted, the first exclamation was, " Your
children are safe !" Can you tell me how
mean a man I should have been, and what
execration I should have deserved, if the
next time these neighbors came to my
house I had kicked them out of it? Tell
me, then, I pray you, why two hundred
thousand black men, most of whom volun
teered to fight your battles, who rushed in
to save the burning house of your Govern
ment, should not be , permitted to partici
pate in that government which they helped
to preserve? When you enlisted'and mus
tered these men, when your Adjutant-
General went South and gathered them to
the recruiting office, and persuaded them
to join your ranks, did he _or any one tell
them this was the.white man's government?
When they came to the rendezvous, did
did you point to the sign over the door,--
"Black men wanted to defend the white
man's government ?"
When, you put upon them the uniform,
of the United States, did you say, "Don't
disgrace it: this is the white man's govern
ment?" When they toiled on the march,
in the mud, in the rain and the snow, and
when they fell out of the ranks from sheer
weariness, did you cheer them on with the
encouragement that " that this is the white
man's government ?" When they stood
on picket on the cold stormy night to guard
you against surprise, did you creep up and
warm their congealing blood with an in
fusion of " the white man's government ?"
When, With a wild hurrah, on the double
quick, they rushed upon the enemy's guns,
and bore your flag where men fell fastest,
and death made its wildest havoc, where
explosion after explosion sent their man
gled bodies and severed limbs flying
through the air, and thus fell in glacis,
ditch, and scarp, and counter-scarp, did
you caution them against such bravery,
and remind them that this was " the white
man's government?" And when the
struggle was over, and many had fought
their last battle, and yon gathered the dead
for burial, did you exclaim, " Poor fools !
how cheated I This is the white man's
government ?" No, no, sir; you beckoned
them on by the guerdon of freedom,—the
blessings of an equal and just government,
and a good tine coming. And can you
now deny it to them? Do you say they
have that freedom? Slavery is abolished.

THE CASE WELL PUT.
Sum total expended, $30,635,000
Many years ago, a deacon in, one of our
New England churches became subject to
a mild form of insanity. Being inoffensive,
he was permitted to go at large and attend
public worship, where he usually behaved
with entire decorum. According to the
custom of those days, be occupied the
" Deacon's Seat," in front of the pulpit.
One Sabbath the minister preached a ser
mon on the subject of maintaining peace
with all men. He first dwelt upon the
duty, and then suggested various means of
keeping the peace. The deacon was ob
served to be much interested from the first;
but during the discussion of the second
head, he turned toward the pulpit as far
as the inconvenience of his seat would per
mit, and fixed his eyes on the preacher.
At length -he rose, to his feet, and with his
back to the congregation, gazed earnestly
into the speaker's face with an excitement
of manners, plainly significant of something
special on his mind. Perceiving that his
pastor had concluded his second head, and
was about passing on to another division of
the discourse, he became quite uneasy, and
finally spoke out—" Permit me to sug
gest," said he, " that there is one other im
portant means of keeping the peace which I
you have not mentioned." "Ali, deacon,"
said the pastor, "and what is that ?" "A
substantial Ate rail fence," was the em
phatic reply:
I have often thought of the crazy dea
con's c xpedient for keeping the peace ; and
must say, that taking , mankind as they are,
it is one that cannot be' dispensed with.
When I have seen two neighbors, after try
ing to have all things common, falling out
with each other, and quarrelling with bitter
animosity, I have said to myself, "The
deacon's fine rail fence would have- pre
vented all this."
When I have seen two friends alienated,
in consequence of trusting everything to
each other's honor , in their business rela
tions, and . neglecting all written contracts
and formal settlements, I have thought: of
the deacon's fence.
When I have seen Christians of different
denominations trying to force themselves
into a union of worship and labor, forwhich
they had not the requisite preparation of
heart, and fomenting new quarrels' by the
attempt, I have sighed to think how much
more real union would have . resulted from
the " fine rail fence."

It were better,indeed, if no such barrier
were needed. But since human nature,
even when sanctified, is so imperfect, it is
folly to attempt a constrained and unnatural
union of parties. whose diverse sympaties
and interests will only cause irritation by
coming in contact. The dividing wall
may, it is true, mark our infirmity; but
we should gain nothing by its absence.
Though an evil, it prevents far greater
evils; and m.ay be regarded as incidental
to the best good of society.—Puritan Re

A STITESMAN'S THREAT,
The late enlightened and liberal Count
Cavour ' the Prime Minister of Victor Em
manuel, with a thorough comprehension of
the genius of Romanism in its effort to re
press free thought, and resist the spirit of
the age, threatened the overthrow of Papal
domination, not by fire and fagot, the fa
vorite weapons of Rome, but by the intro
duction of modern improvements. "I will
attack Rome," said he, "by railways, by
the electric telegraph, by agricultural im
provements, by establishing national banks,
by gratuitous education on a large &tale, by
civil marriages, by the secularization of con,
ventual property, by the enactment of a
model code, embodying the most lenient
laws in Europe, and by the suppression of
corporeal punishment. I will place the
spirit of modern expansion . face to face with
the old spirit of obscuration ; I am quite
certain the former will triumph. I will es
tablish a \ blockade of civilization around
Rome. If she undergoes a modification,
she will come to us; if she remains un
changed, she will, by constant comparison,
become so disgusted with her state of in
feriority, that she will throw herself into
our arms to escape destruction." As a re
sult of this far-seeing policy, wherever the
liberal rule of Victor Emmanuel has-extend
ed in Italy, schools are multiplying, indus
try and enterprise are increasing, property
is rising in value, and, as a necessary result,
the power of the despotic and bigoted
priesthood is gradually but surely waning.
RIOTOUS OPPOSITION TO ANGLICAN
MONKERY.
The attempt of the Rev. " Father" Hunt,
Incumbent of Northmoor Green, near Bridge
water, to import the services of the so-called
Benedictines into his Easter-day display of
ritualism has led to disgraceful outrages. On
Saturday night the church was entered, the
decorations were destroyed, the clergymen's
vestments were cut to pieces, and the sacra
mental wine was drunk. On Sunday morn
ing, when the " Benedictines" had arrived,
the church was crowded to suffocation by a
mob of ruffians, some of whom coolly lighted
their pipes and began to smoke, while'others
raised the most discordant noises, "We
won't go home till morning" being among
the sounds which rendered it impossible to
proceed with the service. Mr. Hunt, how
ever, ascended the pulpit, and commenced a
service, in which he rebuked the violence of
those present. On his returning to the chan
cel the noises were resumed. Dogs were set
howling, a tin canister flung about, and so
forth. A gentleman attempted to stay the
tumult, but in vain, and the incumbent again
ascending the pulpit gave a brief• discourse
from John xi. 15, stoutly rebuking the con
gregation as being worse than heathens and
savages.— Weekly Review.
