Fvr 12 1 'OLD GHUKC3 CUSTOMS To be Observed in Services During the Scotch-Irish Congress. DE. JOHN BALL TO BE PEKSENT. i, A Few Bcminiscences of Early Beliglotu Work in Pittslrarjr. GL2AKIKQS FK01I CIIUKCH FIELDS The old-fashioned Presbyterian service to beheld at Exposition Hall in connection with the Scotch-Irish Congress, Sunday evening, Jane 8, promises to be one of the great events of the season. Dr. John Hall, of New York, is announced to conduct the service and preach. It is entirely safe to say that the hall Kill be entirely too small for the multitudes who will want to be pres ent and witness a scene similar to that "which the Scotch-Irish pioneers were ac customed to a century ago, when through this region they gathered in barns and tents to worship God after the methods of their ancestors in Antrim, Derry and Down. It is understood that the psalms of David are to be used, and to he lined out by one of tho two precentors, or clerks, as they used to be called. Many of tbe early churches ot this city and vicinity were profoundly agitated orer tbe modern innovations of a balf century aco when tbe songs of the sanctuary began to be sung without lining out. It is on record that some of tbe old-time religions stalwarts of this bUUwlct shook tbe dust off their feet and left the church when more than two lines of a psalm were sung without being first read by one of tbe chuicb clerks. In connection with Dr. John Hall's prom inence at tbe Scotch-Irish Convention it is a t fact of some interest that be was tbe lion bere In 186S when tbe union of the Old and New School Presbyterian Chnrcbes was consum mated at the Third Presbyterian Cburcb, on Sixth avenue. His grand speech on that mem orable occasion will be remembered by all who were privileged to bear it as ono of thocreat events of their lives. His fervid Irish oratory, after the pattern of Patrick Henry, pictured tho beauty of Christians dwelling together in unity in a nay that left abiding impressions, at least on one of his delighted bearers. WHAT IS CHBISTIAN SOCIALISM? Tbe following is from a recent editorial in (be Christian Union: "The talk about Christian Socialism has at length uken shape in the be ginning of a parish of Christian Socialists if this is not too larcoaname for it under the auspices of tbe Episcopal Church in Boston, the clergyman in charge of it being tbe Rev. V. D. P.'Bliss. who some four years ago left the Congregational for tbe Episcopal Church, in the conviction that be might find in tho lat ter a larger freedom for carrj ing on tbe ork of Christian Socialism and a better encourage inont of it than seemed to him to be possible elsewhere. He began with an afternoon serv ice April 19, in Brunswick Hall, 211 Tremont street, using tbe Episcopal even-song aud ex plaining in his sermon what be hoped might bo accomplished in "The Church of the Car penter.' His congregation was large, and a deep interest was mamfes'ed in the work. It was a representative company. Tbe Rev. J. H. Ward assisted in the service; Sir. Robert Treat Paine, President of the Associated Charities in Boston, acted as one of the wardens, aud Mr. Ueorge E, .McNeill, the well-known bocialist, also served in that capacity. Mr. W. D. How ells was an atteutive member of the congrega tion, and the interest v as so deep and vital that a large number of the men and wbmen present gave in their names as persons desiring to join tbe Brotherhood of the Carpenter, which was organized for tbe work of al'ancing social Christianity during the week. "The spirit shown at this initial service may mean much or little as it is tested by sub sequent meetings, but the movement seems to bat e already found tbe right sort of supporters among active, thoughtful and earnest people, and may be regarded as a sign of tbe times, and as possibly the first of a large number of ana logous gatherings in different places, in which. without separation from present religious or ganizations, people may reach a freedom in worship and work which they do not now ordi narily Hud in regularly organized parishes." EABLY METHODISM. The Pittsburg Christian Advocate of this week furnishes a very interesting supplement, witb a history of Pittsburg Methodism by Editor C W. Smith, D. D, and reminiscences from Rev. Dr. William Cox on the early strug gles of the circuit riders through Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Editor Smith ac knowledges that the region of which Pittsburg is tbe center has been a hard Meld for Method ism to plant itself, as it was first occupied by the sturdy Calrinlstic element, who, when they once get a grip, are very slow to let go. Toe United Presbyterians have at present in Egypt 29 organized churches, with a member ship of 3,00V; 11 native pastors who have grown up under the care of the mission, and are in thorough and enlightened sympathy with its work: 19 theological students who have taken the course of the Training College, and will soon get out to swell the force of workers; 100 schools under the oversight of the mission or the native church, with 6,000 scholars under tbe direct Influence of the open Bible. According to figures collected by the Rev. J. B. Hamilton, ot Brnokly n, N. Y during tbe period from JS33 to 1872, deficiencies in the sala ries of Methodist ministers in 35 Conferences amounted to t5.4W.tmO. It should be remem bered that these deficiencies occurred for the most part on salaries of ministers who could least afford to bear tbe loss. In a recent letter from Egypt to the Chicago Interior, Dr. George P. Hays sajs: "At the rik oT rousing some indignation, I advise con tributors to the BaraVat fund to inquire par tjcularly how tbe funds are invested, and to whose majagement they will go after Layah ' Barakat is dead. More and more I grow to the conviction that independent mission work and Irresponsible enterprises have no security for permanency, and funds would be better in vested if put into tbe bands of the general boards and tbe permanent work of tbe Church." Pastor and People. Joiw SnEKMAN, nephew of General and Senator Sherman, has been lately received into the church in Washington by his cousin. Father Sherman. Cardinal Maxnikq has written of tbe new Irish temperance movement inaugurated by the archbishops and bishops of Ireland on Passion Sunday, "It will, I believe, save Ire land.

Gixliqan, representing the Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, has been spend ing some time in Pittsburg. He is a bright, energetic young man. of a very pleasant man ner, and tbe Mirror is to bo complimented for selecting Mr. Gilllgan for tbe work entrusted to him. At the Church of tbe Ascension, comer of Ellsworth avenue and Neville street, Hector R. W. Grange will at to-morrow morning's service give a report of bis first year's wore in the parish. To-morrow being Whitsunday appro priate services will bo held, and the holy com munion observed in conuection with morning service. A yeas year ago St. Peter's German Evan gelical Lutheran Church, on the corner of Col lins avenue and Station street, was dedicated. The anniversary services will be held to-morrow. May 25. Preparations have been made to make this anniversary an occasion of great In terest. The church will be decorated and first class music will be given. Tbe pastor will be assisted by Rev. Mr.Helmkamp, of Sharpsburg. Rev. Db. Joseph Parker, the popular and widely-known Congregational preacher in Lon don, established The Fountain, professedly a religious journal. But after a time it ceased to flow. Whereupon Dr. Parker now roundly affirms "religious journalism is of the Devil." If bis "Fountain" had not failed, be probably would have entertained a somewhat different opinion, although it is said that even now be acts as a religious journalist In Notes aid Jfews. So that as the English Presbyterian Messenger says: "There is at least a divided empire. If tbe Devil has bis share in It, so has Dr. Parker." THE Butler street chnrcb. this city, discussed the admission of women as lay delegates to tbe lay electoral and general conferences, at a congregational meeting last week. ilrs. M. E. "Wightman and W. J. Kinnear, Esq., were se lected to advocate the admission of women, and Mrs. M. . Johnson and Mr. Samuel W. Hayto oppose. The idea seems to us a good one. The people all tbe members, male and female. 21 years nd over will bo called to vote on this question at some time duriug October or ovember next, and thev should give such con sideration to it as w ill enable them to cast an in telligent vote. It Is an important question, and menu the greatest care. The new Presbyterian Church, of Jcannettc, was dedicated May U, The pastor, Rev. T. V. UUligan, was assisted In tbe services by Rev. W. B. Carr, who had done good worjt for a few months in looking up the people and seouricg most of the money topurchase the lot and erect a building. We bad been delayed two months by the failure of tbe company to furnish tbe seats on time, but were glad to find our house so well built and neatly furnished throughout, at a cost, including lot, ot about H,200. Our church will seat over 300, and stands in the midst of tbe people. On last Sabbath, May 18, tbe Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, was ad ministered, and we enrolled 60 members, with half as many more on the ground awaiting their letters. For all this hopeful beginning in this growing community we thank God and take courage. Archbishop Ireland, ot St Paul, ono of the foremost men of tho Cathollo church in thU country, recently put himself on record as to the negro problem as follows: "My solution of the negro problem is to declare that there is no problem to be solved, since we are all equal, as brothers should be, and we will In consist ency with our American and Christian princi ples treat alike black and white. I know no color line, I will acknowledge none, lam not nnaware that tbis solemn declaration ot mine shall be deemed by many, upon whose opinions I set high value, as rash and untimely. Yet I fear not to make it, fori believe I am right. Ay, untimely to-day my words will be to-morrow timely. My fault, it there were fault, would be that lam ahead of my day. The time is not distant when Americans and Chris tians will wonder that there ever was a race prejudice." A preacher, who had great "liberty," was preaching from apart of the thirtieth verse of the tenth chapter of Luke "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves." He opened hi discourso thus: "My brethren, tho Bible Is a very won- f f ul book. It says so much in a word. Now, there is very little said here about the charac ter of this man that fell among the thieves; but I know just what sort of a man he was. And, first, he was a sober man; second, he was apunc tual man; thirdly, ho was an industrious man; and, fourthly, he was a married man. And I learn all this about the man from one single word that the Bible says about him: it says bo was a certain man. Now, we all know that there is no certainty in a drunkard, there is no certainty in a man who is not punctual to his engagements, no certainty in an idle loafer, and there is not one bachelor in 40 that you can trust" Saplutlndtx.

THE GORY GARMENT Yery Vigorously Flung to tho Breeze by Beadsman Clarkson. NEQE0 VOTES MUST BE C0DNTED. The Bepnbllcan Tarty to Go Into the South With a Strong Hand. CIVIL SERVICE AND THE GRANGERS Boston, May 23. First Assistant Post master General Clarkson was the principal speaker at the banquet of the Norfolk Club this evening. Among other things he said: "A curious figure sits at the door of one the Departments in "Washington. He is a black man, but stamped with God's own evidences of manhood and courage. He is piteous with tho marts of man's brutality. He was for 20 years a school teacher in South Carolina, and lived an honest life. He is now maimed and disfigured. Ono.leg is broken, and healed at right angles. One arm has been broken, and is now paralyzed. Whenever I hear of the chivalry of South ern men, when I hear of the glory of our superior Caucasian race, I think of this poor man with his injuries. About a year ago be was appointed postmaster at Abbeville. That night 16 mem bers of our superior Caucasian race, booted and armed, went to his home, dragged him "from bed, stripped him, beat him with whips made of barbed wire, jumped on him one after another, breaking one of his arms and one of his legs. They wore no masks; the poor man knew them all. His offense was that he was a Bepublican, and that he had been appointed under a Be publican administration to a pottoffice, which they were determined he should never hold. It was an unequal contest 16 of the superior Saxon race, armed, to one poor member of the African raee, unarmed. After this work a declination of the office was forged in his name and sent to Washington, and another man appointed. As soon as he was able he came to "Washington on his crutches to tell the story of his wrongs. All that could be done was to place him as a doorkeeper. OSLY ONE OP MANY. "This is but one of the many instances in the South where Bepublicans are not al lowed to hold office. Every sort of terror ism is invoked to prevent it. First there is the peaceful terrorism to prevent any one from going on their bonds. Next there is the terrorism of notaries and county clerks, or officers with seals to pre vent them from certifying to the sufficiency of the bonds. If these means fail, then open and overt methods are invoked to pre vent a Bepublican from holding office in a Democratic community. There are hundreds of communities in the South wherein no Bepublican of any Kind is permitted to hold office. There are thou sands of communities where a Bepublican, if he happen tobeblsck, dare not take an office if appointed to if. A Democrat may cast his vote in peace anywhere in this land. In thousands of places a Bepublican, solely because he is a Bepublican, may not vote at all, or else not have his vote counted. A Be publican may be arrested and tried in any community in any State. In hundreds of communities in the South a Democrat can not even be arrested, much less tried and convicted, for any political crime. Not only is there this Bepublican bill of wrongs to plead now, but the Democratic defiance of law and authority gees still farther. The courts of the United States are also made outlaws in certain States and denied their authority and abridged of their power, and their judges left to sit helpless in their seats, unable to enforce law or their own processes, or even to protect the witnesses called before them. If the first duties of government are to insure human liberty and protect human life, then these are the largest questions now before the American people. So I come to this traditional fountain of American intel ligence and courage to ask why an American who is a Bepublican has fewer rights than an (American wno is a .Democrat. A DEMAXS FOB FAIB PLAT. "It is time to set up tbe standards of fair play all over this Bepnblic. Tne nation has waited patiently ever since the war for the South to settle this problem. It has now been 25 years, and the problem is still un solved. One mistake was that the United States did not settle this question immedi ately at the close of the war. For the war changed all the conditions of citizenship. Before that time citizenship was a matter of the State, and only incidentally of the na tion. The verdict of that conflict changed the condition, amended tbe Constituticn, and made the supreme allegiance of the voter due to the United States. The nation is now face to face with the duty whether in its sovereign power it shall allow Georgia, South Carolina, or any State to prevent tbe American citizen from exercising his con stitutional right to vote. Let the States rule their own affairs. The North can con cede that to the South. But in all elections affecting tbe United States of Congressmen or United States Senators or President it is the duty of the United States, and clearly within its power, to set snch safeguards about the voter that he shall be allowed to cast his vote in peace and have it iaitbfully counted. With the Bepublican party having full power Congress ana the executive depart ments it will be as false to posterity as to itself if it does not exercise its power under the Constitution to make American citizen ship equal and complete in all parts of the Bepublic There is a larger question in this than that of politics. There is tbe ques tion of humanity and duty to God. when Mr. Grady came to Boston, and, with a speech as sweet as the music that came from David's harp, asked the North to shut its eyes and sear its conscience and let the South do as it pleased, he asked a great deal more than tbe North could grant. THE TABIFP AND THE WEST. ''In Boston a stranger may not come to discuss the tariff. It is a product of New Eugland. I can only report from a new portion of the Bepublic of tbe growing strength of this fidelity to American inter ests. Twenty-five years ago there was nut a protection paper printed in the State of Iowa; they were all practically for free trade. We have learned wisdom; and to day tbe manufacturing products of Iowa equal half in value the agricultural prod ucts. We have our own interests to protect now in adhering to protection. The claim of tJe Northwest for free trade is not true. In the last Bepublican National Conven tion the East said that the West must stand a strong protection plank. The West accepted it, and in the campaign and at the election stood by it better than the manufacturing centers of the East stood by their own faith. The best protectionist in the United States to-day is the Western farmer. He is also tbe best posted man in politics. He reads many newspapers and discusses them with his family, and knows both his patriotic duty and his self-interest. Free trade has sought audaciously to set up its empire in the Northwest, but it will fail. It has tried to take advantage of the temporary hard times to convert the farmer to its notions. As a Western man I resent the pity bestowed upon the Western farmer. He is passing through a temporary depression, but he is meeting it bravely, and he will come out of it by his strength and wisdom. He knows that he is suffering from over-production. ONE BAD FEATURE. "It is to be said in truth that the farmer is not setting his share of the enjoyments of life. The isolation of farm lite has its dark side, as is shown in the increasing statistics of insanity among farmers. We may learn from other countries the wisdom ot group ing farmhouses on adjacent corners, and making a little social renter, to keep away from all that dullness which is the enemy of mankind. The patent device that out'all the country west of the Ohio into square sections, aud made the roads run straight over hills and valleys, has not proved the w&' mmmiprsmsxm wise and blessed thing that was hoped for it, Ithasputthefarmhou.es fa tb cen ter oi wide tracts, put the neighbor half a mile away, and left the young people of the farm to brood overthe loneliness of the farm house. I speak from personal experience aud know that this one thing, as weU as the waning fortunes of the farm in earning power of income, Is doing much to send the young people into town or city to hunt for a life with more enjoyment in it. But legisla tion of nny kind that will ameliorate the condition of the farmer, give to his hard labor a larger return of profit, or to V.I. . ly a larger measure of happiness, ought to be sought for and speedily enacted from every consideration of American interest. THE AMEBICAN tABOBEB. "The farmer and the laborer are the true Americans, and all legislation should be gauged largely for their interests. These terms comprehend nearly all of our popula tion, in tact, lor America is a nation or la borers. All the people who are not working for their own bread, or did not earn their own money, are living on two or three streets in America. All others are either working for their own living or have earned their competence by their own labor. I believe that America will settle tbe labor problem of the world first. I be lieve this, because almost every American, or i9 out ot 100, bas bad actual personal ac quaintance with the hardship of actual work. Therefore the American people know what labor is, and what the laborer ought to have. I make bold to say that in the present con dition the American laborer is not having his Share. We began as a nation with all of our people as laborers. The condition of the laboring man has rapidly improved, but not nearly as rapidly as the man who has earned wealth, and gained with it luxury. The times now are nervous with a deep feeling of approaching settlement of this question. It cannot be done speedily, but it is in process of adjustment. Laboring men must be pa tient, and not spoil by haste or violence the blessing that is coming, I believe that we are within sight, and that the time has come in civilization for a shorter day of labor. THE GOOD TIME COMING. "The eight-hour day is not far off. In deed, it ought to be here now. Not only this will come, but a five-and-a-half-day week eventually will follow, unless a new basis of compensation and mntual interest shall be established. There is no reason why a laboring mau should not have hours for leisure and improvement, and for enjoy ment with his family, as well as a business man or a capitalist. If the laboring man wants to eat his din ner at 6 o'clock, and have a social evening with bis friends, he is as much enti tled to them both as the capitalist. The set tlement will come in some large way. For my own part, I believe it will come by some system of profit sharing. Capital may get its 6 or 8 or 10 per cent, according to safety or peril of investment, and the laboring men ought to get a share of the profit be yond that. The best sign of the times is that the laboring man is showing such an inter est in himself, and is striving by every means within his power honcraDly to better the condition of his family. It is good for the Bepnblic. The family of tbe laboring man is tbe unit of our national welfare. As it is improved in condition the Bepublic will be improved and strengthened. As the man of labor gains a share or has a stake in the property of the nation, the nation itself gains greatly increased support and strength from such a man. A blessing to all Ameri cans, and to the Bepublic itself, is coming with the settlement of the labor question; so let us hope it will not come too rapidly, but come wisely and permanently. ABOUT THE CIVIL SEEVICE. "In these millions of little offices, and in the contests over them, wherein all public Questions are argued and the public interest iscussed, is largely kept alive that health ful interest which is the salvation of the Government. Tbe political campaign is the real lyceum of American statesmen and the open academyof the great massof the Amer ican people. As the State seeks through the county and township thus to instruct its people in publie affairs through its offices, and as it changes them frequently, both to preserve constant honesty in office and to in struct the largest possible number of men in official affairs, so, I believe, should the na tion follow in the same course. It was in tended by the fathers of the Bepublic lhat office holding should be honorable. It was intended that an American family should find pride in seeing one or more of its own number enjoying the honors of official place and tne higher nonors or public continence. This feeling has been found to render the State good service. It has ennobled citizen ship, lifted up human ambition, and kept tbe public service pure by frequentchanges, just as the tides purify the salt oceans. De falcations in any office occur almost invari ably in an office held too long by one man. The idea of office holding for life was the very idea tbe American Bepublio was created to resist." S00K TO BE OPENED. Tho Aged People' Home In AHecUony Gel tine In Good Shape. The regular meeting of tbe Woman's United Presbyterian Association was held yesterday afternoon in tbe Ninth U. P. Chnrch, Soulhside. Mrs. H. C. Campbell presided. The only matter of importance which occupied the attention of tbe meet ing was the advisability of opening the Aged People's Home immediately in the Henry property on Buena Vista street, Al legheny. After considerable discussion it was decided to make arrangements as soon as possible to open the Home. The Committee on Constitution had no report ready, but will offer their work for approval at the next meeting, which will be held in the Filth churcb, Allegheny, June 7. THE WAY TO BREAK A COLT. A Claim That Iho Anlmnl Must be Treated With Cruelty. J. B. Corey, a wealthy citizen of Brad dock, was given a hearing before 'Squire Holtzman, of the same place, yesterday, on a charge of cruelty to animals, preferred by General Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society. The offense charged was the whip ping by Mr. Corey of a colt which was being broken to tbe saddle. The prosecutor alleged, and it was admitted by the defend ant, that the animal had been cut with a whip until the skin was broken in several places. Attorney Yost claimed that the whipping was not cruelty under the law, as there was no other way to subdue a iractious young animal but by whipping. The Magistrate reserved his decision. THE C. & P. TO BE EXTENDED. A Branch to bo Built From Bpllalre to Marietta, u Distance of 84 Itlllrs. The Cleveland and Pittsburg Boad is to be extended from Bellaire to Marietta, a distance of 84 miles, where it will connect with several roads in that place. Work was begun yesterday, and a contract for 16 miles has been let. It is expected the ex tension will be completed by January 1, and will cost about $1,700,000. The road will run close to the river for the entire distance. There is no line on that side of tbe river now, and the extension will open up territory rich in minerals and farming lands. DR.

Great Saving of Costs to the County Under the New Order of Things, END OP TUB MARCH CRIMINAL COUET Ann Wilson, onotber of the defendants in the McKeesport shoplifting case, yester day pleaded guilty to two charges of lar ceny. The trial of these cases has demonstrated in a practical manner the saving to tbe county that will result from the new system inaugurated by District Attorney Johnston. Under it, the arresting officers who serve subpoenas must havo their documents ap proved by the District Attorney or bis clerk, before costs are paid. In the case of Phoebe Collins, who ras convicted Thursday, there were ten indictments against her for lar ceny aud receiving stolen goods. Tho con stable yesterday presented his papers for ap proval. The District Attorney's clerk at once noticed that a subpoena had been issued for each count of the indictment, making ten subpoenas in all for the case. On each were substantially the same witnesses, ranging in number from 3 to 11. On each subpoena the constable's bill called for 60 cents for sub poenaing each witness, f 1 apiece for witness fees, and $1 CO mileage. Tbis was allowing ?8 and $10 a dav each for some of tho wit nesses. The sum total was $96. The constable was informed that but one subpeeua would have been sufficient, and he would not be allowed the costs on the others. He objected strongly, and the matter was referred to Judge Ewing. He immediately vetoed all but one subpoena. The one al lowed contained seven names, and reduced the costs to $12, which was paid. In this one case $84 was saved to the county. Under the old regime the bills would simply have been sworn to by the officers and paid. In another case, yesterday, of assault and battery, the constable had 17 witnesses on his subpoQua, and was only allowed four, saving the county $19 50. In many other cases a few dollars are knocked off here and there, making a large amount in the aggre gate. By the end of the June term the clerks will be able to make a comparison with former terms, of the time and money saved in running the Criminal Court. COULDN'T FIND IT MALICIOUS. Verdict for Defendants In tbe Echo of tbe Murdock Bunko Case, In the suit of Bobert E. Barnett against William Murdock, G. B. Perkins, Fred Kochendoerfer, S. P. Andrews ana E. D. Todd to recover damages for alleged false arrest in connection with the Murdock bunko case, a verdict was given yesterday for the defendants. Barnett had been ar rested and indicted for complicity in the robbery, but upon trial was acquitted and sned for damages. He was the proprietor of of a plumbing shop on Grant street. Mr. Murdock, after he had been buukoed, thought that 'Harnett's shop was the room where he had been robbed, but its appear-, ance was different and he was not sure. Detectives Perkins and Todd then visited Barnett and made a pretense Of buying his shop. Wbile negotiations were pending they visited a house in Allegheny, where, it was. claimed, Barnett, while under the in fluence of liquor, made remarks about hav ing money, etc, that led to his arrest. Zhe testimony yesterday was almost a repetition of that heard in the Criminal Court. Bar nett was represented by Attorneys Blakely and Porter, and the defendants by Bobb and Fitzimmons. Judge Stowe, in his charge to the jury, laid stress on the point that to sustain a ver dict for the plaintiff there should be shown want of probable cause for tbe arrest, or maliciousuess. The jury was out but few minutes, and returned with a verdict lor the detendants. WIND-UP OF THE MARCH TEEM. Jutt a Week Intermlnlon Betwoen Crim inal Court Bltiloai.
