COBBESPOX UEXCE. A Church Iteui. EDITORS CITIZEN The Pittsburgh Synod of the General Synod of the Lutheran Church has ju.-t closed a most delightful series of ses sions in the town of Worthington, Ann strong county, Pa. This ecclesiastical bodv now numbers twenty-three min isters engatfed in active work, all of whom were present with as many lay delegates, representing a membership of near 6ve thousand, comprised in fifty four congregations. , The reports for the year past are re garded as most encouraging, evincing diligent and faithful pastoral work in all the churches, resulting in large in crease in numbers and in benevolent contributions. Almost every congre gation has its prayer meeting and its Sabbath School especially ; the latter of which consists of over four hundred teachers and upwards of four thousand scholars, while the number of catechu mens reported is upwards of four hun dred. The brethren composing this Synod are a cheerful, joyful, harmonious set in tbeir intercourse with each other, while their cordial manner towards strangers is refreshing and assuring. They seem to be a body of faithful and devout men. That venerable patriarch Peter Graff and his most noble lady, are as ever, active, cheerful and hospitable, and in tbeir age have the immense satisfaction of seeing the fruits of their steadfast ness and self-denial in the cause of Christ and to the church of their choice. Formerly they were almost the only Lutherans in that community; now they are members of a very large con gregation, and on Sabbath last, though there were services in the other church es, in the morning the Lutheran church was crowded, large as it is ; while in tbe evening there was anxiety felt on account of the immense crowd which thronged the large audience chamber. With such men as Father Graff as an active leader, and such preachers and pastors as Rev. Schwartz, the cause of Christ will flourish anywhere. Tbe choir of tbe chinch at Wortbing ton is, in our humble judgment, equal to the very best we have ever beard, and is composed of persons who have not only musical talent well cultivated, but who are pious and devout. AN OBSERVER. October 19, 1880. A Friendly ftujuc<-»llon. EDITORS CITIZEN: —If it were mere ly a matter of personal choice between two candidates, each voter has a chance to say whether he prefers for tbe chief magistracy of the Republic a Christian who pray » or a man who wear*, and if as a Christian voter he prefers the man who swears bow may-it be re garded, as consistent or inconsistent ? How will Jesus regard it, as for him or again»t bim ? AIT HUMBLE DISCIPLE. THE EFIZOOTY. During the last few days frequent comparison has been made between the catarrabal influenza now prevalent among horses in this city and the epi zooty of 1872-3. That there are many points of resemblance is obvious. Every one has beard tbe cough and seen the discharge from the nostrils which are characteristic of both epi demics, but in extent and fatality hap pily this year's visitation is, as yet at feast, far tbe inferior. The epizooty of 1872 made its appearance, also at the close of a hot summer, at Toronto, Canada, at tbe end of September. A fortnight iater it reached New York by way of Niagara, and by tbe end of Oc tober 40,000 horses in this city and 12,000 in Brooklyn had been attacked by it. It followed the Atlantic slope southward, and in two months reached Galveston. Then it followed the Mis sissippi northward to St. Louis, where it turned westward reaching Colorado, Wyomipg and Nevada in January, 1873, and California soon afterward. Chicago and tbe lake region were vis ited about the same time as this city, northern New England about the end of October, and Southern New Eng land early in November. This year no fatal cases, we believe, have been re ported, but is 1872 a good part of a column of the Time* was needed on several days to merely give a list of tbe stables where fatal cases had oc curred, the total deaths being, of course, far more numerous. Tbe effect in this city can even QOW be recalled. Nine car and stage lines stopped en tirely, and others ran in morning and night. Trade nearly came to a stand still, and oxen were frequently seen in our streets. For once the ice, coal and asb carts were conspicuous by their absence, and butchers carried meat through the streets on their shoulders. Sermons were preached about it, and the scare was complete when it was re ported that a man had caught the disease. That was the first appearance of epizooty in the United States, but it is by no means a new disease. On tbe authority of Prof. Law it may be said to have appeared in Greece, Italy and Sicily about B. C. 415. It has also occurred in A. D. 330, 876, 117", 1219, 1209 (very severely), six times in the fourteenth century, 39 times in the fifteenth, twice in the sixteenth, five times in the seventeenth, 15 times in tbe eighteenth, and—if the present ep idemic is really thefepizooty—lß times in tbe nineteenth, thus far ; so that as it has become naturalized here we may expect it from time to time hereafter.— New York Time*. . "THE TfAICL" It nsed to be said of a noted lobbyist in Albany that at the beginning of a legislative session he calculated that there might bo a hundred thousand dollars sent to the city as a corruption fund, and decided that it was better to turn it into the hands of his own party rather than into those of the opposition tbe condition being that his party should support the legislation desired. The sophistry that reconciles the vo ter to the illicit use of money in elec tions is of the same kind. It is, indeed, the oldest and most familiar of pleas. If you don't steal, or bribe, or swindle, somebody else will. That is the whole argument, stripped of its disguises. The trouble is that the more generally it is believed that money determines the election, the more general will fu tile withdrawal of honest men from politics, and the more complete the management of politics and the control of the government by venal knaves. To buy elections is to sell the govern ment. It is the overthrow of the Amer ican system, and the introduction of the most sordid of despotisms. These are very elementary truths, but I they are still truths even in "the closing weeks of a great po litical contest. The legitimate expens es of a canvass, indeetl, are immense, and everv man who is sincerely inter ested in the result will be as generous in {riving as he can honestly afford to be. It is not of honest hut of dishon est uses of money that we are speak ing. It is the universal, open under standing that a State is to be carried by a "still hunt,'' or by "tappinj? the liar'l," not that documents and tickets are to be printed, and advertisements paid for. and the expenses of speakers paid, and banners bought, and halls and music hired, which is menacing. These last are all fair expenses. Hut buying votes is the beginning of the end. To teach men that their votes are mer chandise is to dig away the foundations. Our government is in the keeping- of everv individual voter. He must make an individual protest against corruption. But if he enters into comj>etition with others as to which shall corrupt most swiftly and most surely, he is merely struggling to bore a hole in the ship s bottom before t'other fellow can sue* ceed in the same effort.

In ordinary Coughs, Coltls, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, InlSiienza, Clergyman's Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, ami Ca tarrh, the effects of Arm's Cherry Pec tokai. are magical, aud multitudes are an nually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should l>e kept at hand in every household for the pro tection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping - cough and Consumption there is 110 other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some of the mauy mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain uo curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, aud are sure to deceive and disappoint the patient. Diseases of the throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment; and it is dan gerous exj>erimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases" may, while so trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use Ayek's Cherry Pectoral, and yon may confidently expect tlie best results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known aud acknowledged curative power, aud is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians, knowing its composition, prescribe it in their practice.
