Nasty-Grant
Mr. Nast i* the name of the artist
who did up the vile caricature* of
Horace Greeley, in Harpers' Weakly,
during the last election. The mwfiert
efforts of the nastiest man, with all
Mr. Nast's skill as an artist, could
not have outdone the shameful and
indecent picturing that was done by
the said artist for the Harpers. But
that might all be forgotten and for
given, as having occurred during the
excitement of a presidential campaign.
But a nastier feature, is now devel
oping itself, alter Mr. Greeley s death
when he lies buried beneath the tear*
of a nation, and when a world attest
ed to his worth —this nasty feature
is Gen. Grant contributing to a testi
monial to that artist for his discredit
able caricatures. Of all others
President Grant should have kept
shy from such a movement, modesty,
if he had any, should have forbidden
him to take part in it; a sense of de
cency should have taught him to de
test it; his exalted position should
have made him feel it as far beneath
his dignity to reward the vile carica
turist of his honorable rival for the
Presidency, Horace Greeley. But
who can expect anything better from
a man of Grant's calibre ?
Our State Legislature
The present state legislature ts no
improvement upon its predecessors.
The anti-ring, or honest force, in the
lower boose, numbers about 12 out of
100 members who compose that body.
Among this dozen that stands up for
honest and pure and in opposition to
hasty and corrupt legislation, we are
gratified to find the member from this
county, J/r. Orris. Mr. Orris' quick
perception, clear head, and readiness
as a debater, has made him a great
eyesore to the ring, and in many of
their schemes have they been checked
by him, although upon a vote he
stands with a small but incorruptible
minority. Though the stand Mr. Or
ris has taken may not defeat much of
the legislative gambling, yet we per
ceive, that the ring does not find its
way quite so smooth, and feels its
progress somewhat retarded. What a
pity that there are not more to stand
by such a leader *aa Mr. Orris, to the
shame of our commonwealth be it
said, amidst the pride that
the people, and particularly the
democracy, of old Centre, may feel,
in being represented there by a man
likej John H. Orvia, of great ability
with honesty to balance.
There is another noble young dem
ocrat, upon the floor of the house,
who also votes and assists in the good
work of honest legislation—this is
CapL Brockway, of Columbia.
If the people of the state looked a
little closer into the doioga of their
servants at Harrisbarg, and would
elect to keep at home such as keep
going with the ring, our legislative
halls would soon be purified. The
people have the remedj in their own
hands, and if they do not choose to
make use of it, they themselves are to
blame, if the large majority of repre
sentative* are corrupt. The votes of
a member always show whether he is
with the ring or not Thus tkr, our
member, Mr. Orris, has been true to
every pledge he made before his elec
tion, and we know he will be found
true to the end. That the majority is
against him is net his fault—the ma
jority is corrupt, and he is battling it
manfully, and has hit it many stag
gering blows already—his constitu
ents may well feel proud of him.
The Benner twp. road law, by
which all taxes are to be paid' in
money, leaving the supervisors to hire
and pay for the work done, and of
which we advocated an extension to
Potter twp., we see has called tbe at
tention of other townships to the mat
ter, and that such have also petitioned
to be included. This is a good law,
and k will bring us better roads with
less taxes. We are pleased to we
that our member, Mr. Orvis,
proposes to make the act general far
Center county, which, we think, will
meet with the almost unanimous ap
proval of our citizens.

Mr. Elliott. I hope this House will
not recommit the bill and I will give
reasons why I hope so. J knew noth

is this money to go? Out of what

Spain a Republic
King Amadeus has abdicated the
throne of Spain, and the Cortes have
agreed to the establishment of a re
publican form of government by a
vote of 259 to 32. The nio.-t iuteu.-e
excitement prevails in Madrid and
through the whole country.
The Carlietz arc increasing in such
rapid and formidable proportions that
the Spanish Government is forced to
send a regular army against them.
The City of Saragossa is so surrouud
ed by them as to be virtually blocka
ded, and they arc equally active in
the neighborhood of Segovia, Estell
the fortified town of Balaguer, and
throughout the province of A ragon.
The formal message of abdication
of King Amadeus was read in each
chamber separately. It opens with
the statement that the King has ma
turely considered the question of what
course he ought to pursue with refer
ence to the Spanish throne, aDd has
firmly resolved upou that course.
When he accepted the crown, he did
so under the belief that the loyalty of
the people who had called him would
compensate for the inexperience which
be brought to his task. He had found
that herein be was deceived.
If the enemies who had beset his
path had been foreigners he* would
not have taken the course now deter
mined upon ; but tbey are Spaniards.
By them Spain had been kept in per
petual disquiet. All bis efforts to
quiet her or nut an end to the intrigues
which were the source of her agitation
had proved unavailing. It was not
enough that he bad a partisan sup
port. He had DO wish to remain on
the throne as the king of a party. He
therefore Announced his abdication on
behalf of himself and his heirs.
Upon the completion of the reading
the Senate and Congress met together
in the Chamber of the latter and con
stituted themselves the Sovereign
Cortes of Spain. Senor Rivero, Pres
ident of the Congress, was called to the
chair, and in a brief speech declared
himself ready to answer for the pres
ervation of order and tho execution of
the decrees of the sovereigu power.
A DAUGHTER OF PRESIDENT TAY
LOR PETITIONING FOR A PEN
SION.
WasHtKOTOX, Feb. 4.—Speaker lllainc
ta-day, having called Mr. Dawes to the
chair, appeared on the floor, saying he had
a few minutes ago had an interview in the
Speaker's room which had deeply tout h'-d
him. It was with the widow of Robert C.
Wood, late aasistant surgeon in the I'nited
States army, and a daughter of Zachary
Taylor, late President of the United
Slates. She had presented a petition,
which he would not have read, as it pre
sented a state of facts that ought not to b"
expected, viz: that a daughter of Zncliary
Taylor was in need of assistance, 110 had
aasured her that he did not believe there
would be a vole against the bill which he
now introduced, granting to Mr-. Wood u
pension of S6O per month, to date from the
death of her husband, March K8 1809 and
it was passed by an unanimous vote.
CREDIT MOBILIEK
The wrong dune tbc people by the Cred
it Mobilier spoilers were tersely stated in
the speech of Horace lireeley at Indiana
polis, during the presidential canvu--. He
said:
"These gentlemen contracted with them
selves to pay Usemselves twice the fair
cost of entirly building and equipping the
road; and, building it with the proceeds
ot the money ient by the Government,
they proceeded to devide among them
selves the other bonds, equal to the
amoufet for which Congress hnd made a
mortagageon the entire road. By these
means $20,000,000 or $30,000,000 were </, -
vidtd among the parties, and all that mon
ey so divided we are called upon to pay.
So that to-day the people of ibis country
are paying some milJicns per annum out
of their hard earnings for interest on these
bonds lent to the Pacific road,— paying tho
money as interest to meet the vast sums
divided by those gentlemen among them
selves, as the dividend of the Credit Mobi
lier of America."

MHKsarliusrtt*' Shame.
(From the Springfield Republican.] i
To the people of Massachusetts the:,
disgraceful revelation* of corruption
and cowardice at Washington must
bo more humiliating than to tho rest
of our countrymen, li was among us
that the Credit Mobilier iniuuity was
conceived, if not begotteu. It was by j
Massachusetts men thul litis last re
proach was brought upon our Nation-j
nl renown, Ames and Allov, and'
Butler, ami Hooper, ami Williams
are all Massachusetts Congressmen,
past, present or to come ; tho accused
who have clearer I themselves without
wholly restoring their names to their'
former reputation, are also in jm*m'
Massachusetts men, aud one of them,
Henry Wilson, Vice Presidentelect,'
is the life-lung frieud aud confidant at I
Alley, the meanest of the luiliioaarmj
who trader! in legislation. It was n
Massachusetts Secretary of the'l reas
on*, fully acquainted, as it would now;
I appear, with the rascality of the Cred-j
it Mobilier ring, who, niter an houeai.
but brief resistance to their last exor
tiv ii in 1871, tamely submitted, with
out expoaing them to |H>ptilar iudig
nation bv publishing the facts. And
it was this same Secretary Boulwel)
who, last September (if wo may be !
lieve the word of Oakes Ames) called
upon the chief of the ling to pay out)
his misgotten dollars for the help oil
the Grant party in the Indiana State I
election. Whatever was done or al
lowed in this whole wretched business
was done and allowed by the men]
whom Masaachuaaett* had put in her
high places of trust and honor ; and
upon this Commonwealth must fall a
treble share of the shame aud odium
that are now resultiug from so con
spicuous a piece of baseness. Our an
cient enemies will poiut the finger ol
scorn at us, aud those who have hon
ored us will wonder it Massachusetts
has really falleu so low that Ames
and Williams aud Butler are our
proper representatives at Washing
ton.
lu this condition of things there is
but one course for the people of Mas
sachusetts to pursue. Let them show
by their acts that they repudiate and
abhor the misdeeds of these swindlers.
Let thera demand the punishment of
Ames aud his confederates, and refuse
any louger to be represented in Con
gress by such meu. If Boston mer
chants like i/ooper and Williams
have so far lost their moral sense as to
be speculating in these gambling
stocks and making the lax payers'con
tribute to their fabulous dividends,
let their who have moral
sense enough to perceive the true na
ture of the speculation, call upon
them to resign.
Present Position of Schnnr, Trum
bull, Ponton, and Kuuiuer.
Washington, Feb. 9. —The revela
tions that have demoralised the Re
publican ranks in both branches of
Congress this wiuter, have worked a
curious change in the allidude of the
majority towards the Liberals who
were treated so coldlv at the begin
ning of the session. Especially is this
-.he case in the Senate, w here the vic
torious party formally ostracised the
Liberals at that time. The half-doz
en Senators who began the fight in
i their own party against the Adminis
tration aud its corruptions last sum
mer were given to understand that
j they must take a back seat aud sing
Muall in tne future. But during the
* past month the manifestations of this
•pirit have rapidly decreased, and to
• day Messrs. Schurz and Trumbull and
Kenton are treated with a warmth oi
manner by Morton and Sherman and
j others which contrasts strongly with
i the studied hauteur which these wor
thies assumed in December. The
demoralization that has resulted from
the Credit Mobilier scandal has com
pletely broken down the barriers
which were meant to prevent the Lib
erals {from further opportunities to,
wield iutlueuce in the Senate. The
; change in the manners of Messrs. Mor
: ton, Conkling, Sherman, aud Anthonv
toward Stows. Scburtz, Trumbull,
uud Feutou is plaiuly noticeable in
the galleries, and is felt by the Liber- 1
als themselves, who, during the tioan
jcialaud other important .discussions
of the past week, Lave begun to par
ticipate more activity in tho Senato
rial deliberations. The fact is that
these Radical Senators are so disgust
ed with the revelations of their Kadi-,
cal brethcrn that they are glad to
take an honest man by the hand
wherever they can find him. Mr.
j Sumner, not being able to go to the
Seuate, docs not have a share in this,
but in bis library he notes with no lit
tle interest the changing relations be
tween his set and the paltry crowd
who degraded him in theJSenate. Such
a case us that of Pomeroy's, for in
stance, has a good deal of interest to
him. During the war and up to 1869
Pomeroy was a warm supporter of
1 Mr. Sumner in all that he said and
did in tho Senate. All this time,
however, he was getting his arm deep
er and deeper into the treasury, and
when the word of command came
from the White House that Sumner
must be degraded from his chairman
ship of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, Pomeroy clung to his patron
age, which was the reward of those
who went against Sumner, and not
only spoke and voted against him in
the caucus, but openly boasted of it
in public. Now the reverend Mr.
Pomeroy has gone to the bad, and
Mr. Sumner contemplates with a grim
satisfaction the exposure of another
corruptionist in the ranks of his Sena
torial enemies.
The Cause of (JOT. Geary* Death.
Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 10. —The
post-mortem examination of the body
of Gov. Geary discovered no patholo
gical lesion of any organ, and the con
clusion arrived at was that he died of
syncope caused by nervous prostration,
the result of overwork and malarial
cacocxy. His brain weighed fifty-six
and a half ounces, which is considered
rcmarkbly large, as the largest brain
on record weighed sixty-three ounces.

The Congress Scandal
MR. COLFAX'S DEFENSE
His Accuuot of the 11,200 Deposit—
A Fruitless Crow-Examination of
Mr. Amee—Weight of Mr. Colfax's
Story—The Evidence Against
Him 1
[By Telegraph to tho TribunaJ
Washington, Keb. ll.—Mr. ilaleopencd
Mr. Coifs*'* defense by a long cross-ex
amination of Mr. Ames. He began to go
.over his wktle testimony, not confining
himself that concerning Mr. Colfax, for
tbe purpose of involving Mr. Amos in con
tradiction, and pressing every possible
flaw in hi* testimony, however trifling.
Judge Poland, who hat been s pr.digy
of patioace and good nature throughout
the tedious investigation, fairly out of hu
mor at this, stopped Mr. liale severs;
limes, saying that the Committee had Mr.
Amos' evidence bofore them, and could
jndge fer themselves as to whether it war
. contradictory. At one time he taid sharp
ly : "Wo are having a great deal of sense
less chatter here ;" and at another, wheUj
Mr. Clark, who sat at Mr. Ames' elbow
throughout and acted a* his lawyer, gut
into a controversy with Mr. Hale, he 1
threatened to have tbeni both put out of
the roam.
lie and the other committeemen w ere
, clearly out of all patience with the two
lawyers, and believed thsl the more they
' were allowed to talk the lest cleat the
case weuld become. Mr. Hale made noth
, ing cut of Ames in the course of two
'hour* 1 cross-examination. It did not
trouble Mr. Ames at all to have his first
statement compared with his subsequent
more explicit testimony. He explained
all discrepancies by saying he had not
time to refresh his memory when he made
the first statement, and that he was then
willing to believe what Mr. Colfax and
the others said, and was anxious to let
them off as easy he could.
Mr. Hale's first witness for the defense
was Mesea Dillon, tho cashier ofßergeant
at-Arms Urday. His evidence sounded
very much as if it had been cooked up for
tho emergency. In his previous testimo
ny he had said that ho had no recollec
tion of having paid the $1,200 check
marked "S. C.," and did not knew to
whom he had paid it. Now bo testified
that he bad an indistinction, or rather a
strong impression, that Mr. Ames had got
the money on it himself. Ho would not
twear that the he bad, however. He
taid be bad suggested to Mr. Ames, yes
terday, that he might have got the check
cashed himself, and that Mr. Amos re
plied, "Very likely.,' By this time it
was about 6 o'clock, and the tired Com
mittee adjourned for dinner.
They met again at 7 in tho evening.
Mr. Colfax made a speech in hi! own de
fense, in which he brought in a great deal
of irrelevant matter about bis business af
fairs. He had at last, however, a theory
lo account for tho deposit of f 1,200 in cur
rency in the First National Bank of
Washington, on June 22, 186tt, two days
after Mr. Amos testified that he gave him
a chsek on the Bergcant-at-Arms for that
exact sum. It weuld have been wiser il
he bad accounted for this de|>osit before,
but his explanation was better Iste than
sever.
liis statement, divested of the |suporflu
oua verbiages with which ho clothed it,
and the elaborate description of petty de
tails accompanying it, was that he receiv
ed 9200 of the amount freui his fatber-in
law, Mr. Matthews, who owed him for
money lent to buy a plane. The piano
was purchased, Mr. Col (ax said, at 80 per
cent below tho regular price, becauso the
Messrs. Stein way were glad to have one in
bis house, and thst the remaining SI,OOO
was sent him about the middle of June,
1868, by Geo. F. Nesbitt, a wealthy prin
ter and stationer in New-York, as a con
fidential political contribution.
Tho money came in the shape ft a SIOOO
bill, inclosed in a letter. Mr. Nesbitt had
since died, Mr. Colfax said, and his execu
tor could find no account among his
papers of this payment. The letter came
when Mr Colfax was at the breakfast
tabic and WM opened and the money ex
hibited In tfip presence of hi* mother,
since dead, his sister, apd I?is father-in
law, saying that it came just in time to
pay a demand on him from the Campaign
Committee in Indiana. He deposited the
SI,OOO in the bank with the S2OO received
[from Mr. Matthews, and soon after -er>t a
draf| to Indiana for SI,OOO.
{ Mr. Matthews was put on stand to eon
|Ann Mr. Colfax's statement about the
sl.l*oauti the letter from XesblU. Mrs.

rd by him • long •*" •• 1 MSM.I. Mr. Col
fas repeated his former ei|>Ucit denial
that ho had ever received the $1,200 divi
drnd or any other dividend (mm Ames.
In the fare of all Mr. Ames' mernaranda,
lie persisted in his statement that he had
I 1
thrown up bis contract fer the stock after
paying *.'*• on it, and that he had lost that
j amount.
lie referred to his Seulh lleud speech,
snd said it hand been misquoted of late,
lie had said that neither (take* Ames nor
any other person had ottered to give him
any sock in the Credit Mobilier, and the
worde "to give" had been emitted in or
der to make it appear that he had made
a false statement As to the SOO 76 which
Mr. Ames said he paid him in January,
!►*>, he had never heard ot it before, and
was as much surprised as if he had been
toid that he had assassinated a man at that
time.
This was the whole of Mr. Colfax's de
fence. Beside hi* own •tatement, it con
sisted, of the testimony ot two member* of
his family that he took a SI,UM bill out of
a letter and showed it to him about the
time he de|asited the $1,01)1) in the bank.
Mr. Ames' testimony remains uuiinpeacb
ed, fortified by the entries on hi* memo
randum book, the check on the Sergeant
at-Arm* payable to "S. C.," and the, coin
cidriice of dale* and amounts between it

the victim of a train of circumstantial
evidence almost unparalleled in judicial
history, and besides of a criminal design
on the part of Mr. Antes to invelve him
unjustly in the Credit Mobilier business
w Inch must ha*• been conceived in 106* and
persisted in ever since, and which alone
could have induced Mr. Ame* to make
the catrie* he exhibited to-day in hit

Letter* From India
Letter No. XII.
The following Ulur iroui *<>'. lixrp*-
tcr, dated Guntur, Dec. Ist, 1072, and a Al
len to Mr. John Shannon of this place, is so
full of interest, that we make a copious ex
tract from it and furnish it as letter No.
XII.)
It is ft fueling that I used to entertain,
and 1 suppose it is a common one, that
yhen a man ha* traveled awajr the matter
of ten thotan4 ijjiloa, he ought to have
lot* of thing* to write about, Rut tiiero i*
not a* much to write about a* you may
suppose There it not after all, te very
much difference betweea one place and
another on tbi* globe. England, France,
Alia Minor, PalTstine, Egypt, aad India,
do not differ very much, in their general
a*pert from our own country. One i* apt
to think there mutt be an immenie differ
ence. I remember wondering when a boy,
whether tbo grati wa* grern in foreign
countrie*. imagine p>y amusement when
a tew night* ago 1 wa* litticg under a tam
arind tree, far in the interior, with a group
of native* areund me when ono of thciu
asked me thia very quoation which had to
puzzled my braint in boyhood. When 1
told them the grat* wat green, and the
trees had leavet, the hone* four leg*, and
the moon which wa* peeping through the
tree U>p*. would ten noun later peep
through the tree Up* io u/ country, they
could not tepreet their astonishment at the
wonderful singularity bctwoen the general
phytical characterise* of my country and
theirs. These question* which to puzzled
their simple head*, bother head* much
wiser; ana to ail the proper answer it:
there is after all net a wonderful amount
of difference between any ene country and
the rest on this globe.
In America the mountain* are covered
with trees: here they are bald and treelee*.
In Centre county there are hills and val
leys ; in Uunteor Taluk thoro is but one
vast plain. In Fenntvalley the farmers
grow wheat, corn, oats, Ac. In the Kit
tua district they raise cholum, ragoe, dani
odariah, Ac. Thoro. a* 1 write, the
ground is in all probability covered with
nnow, here they regard snow as altogether
superfluous, and tlie fields are waiving
with a luxuriant harvest. There the peo
ple are going about with mittens on and
tbeir ear* lied up ; here they regard cloth
ing a* an ospontive and eomparitively use
less article and for the most part ge naked
There, they five in largo nouses costing
from one thousand (o a' hundred thousand
dollars and mere ; here they can't see the
use of having a lot of rooms closed up with
shutters ana green blinds, into which no
one ever enter* except the chambermaid,
and so they build a mud hut of ona room,
tbo coat of which, in round number*, U
about including tha carpenters, me
lons, and plasterers bill* altogether.
There the people, owing to the temperate
climate in which they live, are white; here
the flsree Indian sun ha* buined them
brown, an)# sometimes black, Those are
the most important between
the country and people of our Q*n land
and tbia. Reside this the difference is reil
ly not great. Their manner of thought,
tneir domestic affair*, their care for their
children, their druggie for the necesdtie*
of life, aro Ju*t about what tbe*e thing* are
in America, and *o after a separation of
three or four thuutaad year* when we eon*
of Japheth come on a long visit from
America, to our oousint the docendenta of
our uncle Bbem, we that the family
manner* an<J characteristic* have net un
dergone much change. Old grandfather
Noah wojltd have no difficulty Tn deter
mining, in spite of tha different clothing
which we have put on. that ye both belong
to hi* somewhat numerous end time-hon
ored family.
We have beat tharn In tho race toward
development-beat|thero pretty badly, that
is certain. We wear better clothe* than
they—live in larger heusee and ride, whilst
they go on foot, but this is only the differ
ence in the fortune* of two brother* of the
same family, We see that thing in Amer
ica every ($/• Then theee Shemites
have got sopi'4 blacker then f®, hut I do
not kftow that that U much ora misfortups
1 am pretty sdf* that nhtur* don't make
any mistakes, and so I guess it mutt be the
best color for the country. Beside this, as
you know, the world is coming to be
pretty generally of the eploldnthaf it don't
matter much, so far as a fellow actual
value is concerned, what the spei iflc color
of his face may be.
That it the way dln-so things strike inc.
Uil hi thus umkiiifbt i
these people and ourselves, I eam te the
conclusion that we Jaitetliite* have no
business here—eicept fur two things to
bring our brethren hack t<> a knowledge of
the one eternal God and Father and to
bleak up their unrighteous, abominable,
llirice accursed system of caste Their
idolatry, had as it is, is still hot the blind
stupid thing that many imagine it to be, I
have carefully questioned many of them,
and even the most ignorent of them, so
far as they are aide to express themselves,
declare that they do not Worship the st oic
or stick as (iod, but simply as tfie external
image or rather as the medium through
which they come to the invisible being.
My residence in India may not belong
enough to sneak |>oitive|y Upon this point,
hut from all the information which f have]
been able lo gain land 1 have inquired in-'
to this matter with no common interest. I
d not hetilate U> venture the assertion
that not only in India, but nowhere else in
•II (sod's earth, can a rational being be
found who can bring himself to acknowl
edge the divinity ofs stick, or a monkey
or a stone, with en ugly imege carved
upon it. Ask them and tlicy will tall you
again and again, either that this image is
only to tlx (Tie attention, or that the Divine
Presence cones down into it whilst they
worship Speaking from the knowledge 1
now have, 1 will venture to say, that if
many of the missionaries to India had
. studied this subject ef Idolatry as careful
ly as they might have done and should
have done, their letters and books which
they have sent back to the christian world
would have been of >(uile a different char
acter. A very little honest investigation
would have discovered to them that no
Hindoo prostrates himself hi fore his idol,
in the belief that this dumb thing is tied ;
but only as the external outward tangible
representation of that which is invisible to
. mortal eye. This idol-worship, there. 1
, think is not the worst feature of the Hin
doo religion, bad and debasing as it un
doubtedly is. Their polytheism u worse.
It must ever be the part of the christian
| church to defeud betore this men and gold
and irnago-wonhipirig world of oura, the
command of (Jod "Tbou shall not make un
-1 to thee any graven images ' die., and yul
i 1 know that there are devout worshipers
i in the Kornish church for instance-who
. worship (iod in the beauty of holiness,
though they have images mixed up with
> their devotions, and so if these deluded
i Hindoos could be brought to renounce
, their insane belief in their three hundred
and thirty-three million* of gods and come
back to the simple monotheistic faith ot
their ancestor*, their worship of images
f would likely be seen to be the least objec
tionable of their religious system But,
alas, they have "lords many and gods
' many. '
But the werst feature of the Hindoo re
ligion,—the crying evil—the crowning ini
quity— i caste. This, 1 believe, is the
worst evil that man, cooperating with the
devil, ever established en earth. This is
almu*l the sole difficulty of christianizing
India. It is India's curse; the mainspring
cf hatred, misrepresentation and Jeludcn.
- It binds them all as with fetters of iron,
from the haughty Brahmin to the misera
ble Madigo who lives on carrion and bur
> rows in the ground like a beast. This is
■ what retards our work so. There arc
. thousands of UraLmins in ludia to-day,
who are intellectually convinced of the
' truth of Christianity and who would em
' brace it at once if it were not for the aw ful
, consequences of breaking their caste. But
w hen a caste man becomes a christian he
J is regarded by his friends as morally and
' socially dead forever. The cectuiouies
i for the dead are performed. His wife and
r children shrink from him at from a mon
ster and leave him. Not a tnan of his c aste
will receive him unto hi* house, give him
• a crust to eat, or a cup of cold water. If
t he were lo dip a cup of water froui a well
from which hit caste draw, that well
would be defiled and the watar ever unfit
for use. His awn parents thrust bioi from
their door, lie becomes, in short, an ob
ject of abhorrence; be is cast out as a lep
. er; and thenceforth is regarded as dead.
Oh I it is an accursed thing, 1 hale it with
' a perfect hatred. It makes me mad te
talk about it, I can hardly ever talk to the
0 people upon this subject without making a
tool of mvself, and this caste feeling is not
L . only confined to the Brahmin caste but on
! down through the various grades of doceiit
" lo the vilest I'ariah. Byway of illustra
. lion we hava among our christian con-
vert* from the Mall and Madiga caste.
' The Mala t are. if anything, (port debased
. and ignorant than the Madigas, but Uiey
are considered the superior caste. Now
' in some of our out-ftatlons these wretched
Malas, though they are as debased and
vile as the brute beasts that perish, will
1 yet refuse to take the Lord's Supper in
company with the Madiga t because, for
) sooth, they would be defiled I Upon my
' j soul, if the subject was not so serious, 1
t : could often laugh the poor wrelehe. to
e I scorn, and yet I can tell you, lest my de
scription discourage you, that the terrible
r thing is giving way. It is slow .work, but
, Christianity is surely progressing toward
. the final destination of ih unholy thing.
• Would that f might live to see that day ;
but that I can hardly expect to do.
1 Our work is going forward- We are
> making many convert* from idolatry.
t Ilow many ot them ever coma to under
stand the spiritual meaning of our divine
religion, and (bus become true followers of
1 the l.'.rd Jesus, it would be diffieult to tell.
• But of some at least. lam assured. When
there is but little, little is expected ; and 1
think the loving Savior will not expect
much frem these people, and so we an
working on. hoping that in the day when
"He shall come U make up his Jewels,''
many of these poor, ignorant ones may be
found in his hkeace*.
Referring to myself, I may say, that 1
• hate proved quite equal to everything 1
y have mt fu fr. Mr health as a genera)
thing has been good. When I first came,
' I was tarribly afflicted with boils, but 1
■ have got aver them. Boils are tha very
common torment of now comers in India.
I arrived here just at the worst possible
' season of the year—during the hot season.
1 1 got through it somehow, hut not without a
good deal of groaning, jawing, arid ill-no
' ture. Were it not Cor the hot season India
• would not be such a very undesirable place
t lire Mlr qlj. As it u I don't think it
' more than about ohe'balf Its bad u pravel
-1 or*, newspapers, and book* always make it
• The weather now is delightful beyond de-
I scription. Never in my life did I enjoy
' such delightful, balmy days a* these. At
1 no time ot the year is it safe to expose
' vounelf to the iud during the middle of
iiay, hut the. nights snd evenings and
morning, for about *ix months in the year
are glorious. As I write you, you are no
i doubt huddled around the stove, or clm
' about your basis**, b th year ear* tied up
and great coat en. Hero my doors and
window* are wide open, the grass is waiv

LICENSE.
Mr. Editor.—At last we have a move in
the right direction—the sovereign |x>oplo
are te decide the question of license or no
license. I sgree with your correspondent
E. S. G. that this "question directly inter
ests every citixen of pur country," snd
like him 1 consider the Temperance cause
a glorious one, but unlike him, shsll
vote to make iSiive, while ho votes to kill
it. I believe the enlightened sentiment ef
the people will put down a system which
is a disgrace to the age in which we live.
Let us look at it in a financial view. The
trial of the man who killed Rider, while
under the influence of Strychnine whiskey,
eoqt our couuty one thousand dollars. His
sentence is 7 years in the Penitentiary at
a cost of f-KJU per year. Making altogeth
er the sum of $3,100, that the hardworking
tax payers of our county pay as the result
of license. The revenue derived from li
quor license, ia Centre county amounts to
SOOO a year, which goes into the slate
Treasury ; so not s single dollar goes into
tho county Treasury, but msny thousands
out under tho working of the liconse sys
tem. A large majority of criminal cases
boforo our courts sto directly or indiroctly
the result of whiskey. Abolish license,
and thus remove the tcmpstion to drink
and you will be able to try all cases in
court in two wocks in each year and thus
save very much of the enormous county
taxes we aro now paying. In Potter coun
ty they have bad no licensed taverns or sa
loons for many years, and a gentleman
from that county writes, that they have no
uso for a aistriet attorney, as his occupa
tion is gone linco whiskey is dead. He
states also that the hotels in their county
are inCurrior to none in the stale, and
are kept on strictly temperance principcls,
and the charges the same as elsewhere,
where King alcohol still sits enthroned.
The selling of liquor must be good or bad i
—right or wrong. Let me ask you, Mr. I
Editor, what good result* have you seen,
right at home from the sale of intoxicating
drink*. How many of your fellow towns- 1
tneu bave been benefited by it ? Are they ,
better neighbors* husband*, and parents ?
What equivalent do they get for the mon- |
•J they spend at thq bar ?in sh drt, has it'.
been a blasting or a curie to you. Lot tha
alighted prospects, blasted hopes, and 1
may*add, blackened characters, of 100
many of those who hava been anJ still are,
the customers of the place, answer. The
tears, the heart-ache* and woe* unutterable
of the families of the drunkard who can
tell; But woe alo to "him that ghost hi*
neighbors drink, that putte.t thy bottle to
him and makesl him drunksn also." One
day ho that sells a* well a* ho that buy*
tho accursed thing will find, that at "the
last it Inlet h liko a serpent and sliiiyellt like
an adder." How very naively the yaung
tuau of the Watchman prefaces the
"Declaration of Inlemperam e" of our ho
tel! keeper*. But for hi* unaffected sim
plicity no one would have suspected thai

against license as 1 sincerely believe it will, i
[ our liberal lend lords can either conclude'
i thai "discretion i* the better part of valor," i
' and continue to "entertain man and beast," ,
at the old prices, or if they are not willing
to do so, the "public may notify them in
( return, that they can be dispensed with,
' | and other men take their plate*.
