'bpi the Temperance war is being waged
in Our city. The public mind is mild) ag

are t n le i led in their minds as to wheth

ble means to alleviate this great evil; but
unmindful of diversities of opinion there
are more temperance meetings held every
day and the number increases who are
willing to enter saloons and• bar-rooms
with singing and prayer.
It is indeed a strange spectacle to wit
ness in these modern days, a band of wo
men threading their way feom one drink

Though they have met with many re
buffs, nothing seems to discourage them,
neither inclement weather, abuse or sea- I

ed by their own sex in language uncouth
and uncomplimentary. Hitherto when
not allowed to enter the public houses the 1 1
Sidewalk was made an altar of prayer,
but the crowds of lawless rioters are be
coming so great that the Mayor has issu-
blockaded hereafter ; so where admittance
is not 'gained the crusaders must pass on.

which will have cause to regret the decline
of interest and that is the news-hoys.who
have found the papers most salable which
contain the lengthielt account of the cru

'We look anxiously for the Record each

death of familiar friends, and lately we'
read and re-read the announcement of Mr.

the truth in our . mindi. We first thought
of how severely the church will feel the
stroke of one so eminently usefitl. in .va
rious ways, his presence which was pane
tually given, his prayers, his songs, his
deep experience. Oh how much these will
be missed ! But then we thought of his
little family and we grew more sad at
heart• than ever, for the loss the church
sustains is no comparison to theirs; but
it is a great thing to know he fell in the
faith, and though his fittnily have cause
to feel broken and bruised and his church
and community feel a void, it is a bless
ing for all to hold in remembrance, the
memory of one whose life shed a benign
influence. "Mark the perfect man and be
hold the upright, for the end of that man
is peace.' Yours Respectfully,

SCHUY.VER COLFAX . ON RESIMPTION.
—A recent letter written by the ex-Vice•
President, Schuyler Colfax, is going the
rounds of the Western papers proposing
the redemption of Treasury notes in gold
or interest-bearing bonds, at the option
of the Government, said notes thus redeem
ed to remain in the Treasury uncanceled
until used in the purchase of other bonds.
This plan, of course does not contemplate
the dimunition - of the volume of green
backs, Mr. Colfax mentions the follow
ing reasons in support of his proposition,
namely :
"First. It would end forever all the
charges that the greenback in its promise
to pay, while no fund at all is provided
for its redemption is a lie.
"Second. It would reinstate the prof
fer of redemption . in bonds, with which the
greenback first started on its journey.
"Third. By the "option' remaining
with the Goverment whether to redeem in
gold or in a gold-bearing bonds all disas
trous runs on the Treasury would be pre-
vented ; and the danger of immense a
mounts being presented for coin redemp
tion would be, to a large degree, avoided.
"Fourth. The existence nt the 'option,'
with its controlling power to prevent runs
on the Treasury vaults, would tend power
fully toward bringing about the desired
result, without the great shock to busine
interests and the unsettlement of values,
which has been so widely feared.
"Fifth. Even suppoing the worst—
that large quantities of greenbacks should
be presented for redemption, and should
be funded in bonds—the greenbacks would
then be in the Treasury uncanceled as part
of the surplus cash there, available for the
purchase of other bonds, thereby equaliz
ing the bonded debt, without contracting
the Volume of the currency."

Harrisburg Telegraph makes the follow
ing statement in refezence to a, paragraph
about the Dunkers or German Baptists
which we quoted in our last issue:—
"In regard to numbers, if the writer
had said 100,000 instead 25,000, would
have been nearer the truth. lit regard to
remuneration when employed as misslona•
ries is an error. The church only pro
vides for the ministers' wants, and not for
wages ; also, for the wants of the poor, lay
members. Deny the doctrine of the trin
ity is an absurd falsehood ; we claim to
believe the whole truth the bible teaches
us, without any exceptions, among which
the doctrine of the trinity is one of the
leading features, which we preach from
the pulpit and also exhibit and put in
practice in the administering of baptism,
which is administered by immersion, imi
tating Christ in the name of the Father,
and of the Scn and of the Holy Ghost, one
motion to each name. Therefore, as Fa
ther, Son and Holy Ghost constitute one
God, so, therefore, immersion constitutes
or makes one baptism. Therefore by word
and action, we show forth the doctrine of
the trinity. Future punishment we be
lieve in, and also preach the same that it
lasts from eternity to eternity, that is for
ever. is that not long enough ? Our
origin is not from Germantown, but from.
Christ and the Apostles."
ta'The bill before the House of Rep
resentatives, declaring the trim meaning
of the liquor license laws of the State to
be that licenses shall be granted to brew
ers and distillers to manufactnre and sell
spirituous and malt liquors in different
counties of the State agreeably to the laws
in force before the adoption of the local
option law, was passed to its first reading
on Wednesday of last week, after ,an all
day's fight. Fifty temperance women and
a large number from Harrisburg were
present during the discussion.
Since the vote referred to above was ta
ken the committee on Vice and Immoral
ity reported a bill repealing the Local
Option law, and it is thought the bill will
pass the House. Of course the old license
law, or one perhaps more stringent, would
be substituted in its stead: This state of
things would be decidedly preferable to
the act in relation to brewers and distil
/ere.
