The final meeting of the commuters was
. held ,at President Bishop’s office in New
York on Wednesday last. After an indefi-
nite amount of side-skirmishing, the propo-
sition unanimously submitted by the sub-
committee to the effect of continuing the
present ticket system was adopted. At the
request of the President the commuters con-
sented, without dissent to a showing of their
tickets every time on riding upon the road
and in absence'thereof to pay their fare.
There was a feeling quite freely expressed
that on presentation of the ticket next day
at the company's office the fare be collected
should be refunded, but the President ex-
pressed his opposition to this feature, and
while no positive vote was taken on the
point, it seemed to be tacitly submitted to.
So commuters must keep their wits and
tickets about them.
President Bishop was complimented by
resolution ond eloquent speeches- up to the
blushing point. These .though a little ful-
some were undoubtedly well deserved. Mr.
Bishop has certainly done moreto bring
up the standard equipment of hie road than
any predecessor. .He being an experienced
and practical railroad man, has made him-
self felt in the administration of its ~super-
vising duties. But the inherent difilcul-
ti'es'of this road lie beyond his powar to
amend or control. ., The fact that this great
monopoly corporation fi-om New Haven to
Mount Vernon, must thence pass upon the
road bed ofanether company, accept its
time-tables pay its exhorbitant ‘exactions
and being in fine, bound hand and foot to
the arbitrary will of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
sufficiently explains the impossibility of
making this road what its enormous reve-
. nue should and would otherwise render it.
‘The. matter of this ticket business we
deem the sheel'est farce. ‘ Mr. Vanderbilt
has unquestionably demanded the adoption
of his coupon system; and‘sooner or later
the commuters will have them thrust upon
them, and they may as well prepare for it.
@The Pews Of the Congregational
Church, at South Norwalk, were sold for
the ensuing year, for about $2,600. The
number of pews is quite, insufficient to ac-
commodate the growing‘eongregatio'n, and a
new church ought to be erected. At the late
Society meeting $200 was added to the sala-
ry of the Pastor, Rev. H. N. Dunning, in-
creasing it to $1,700.
Normans-We presume—our borough
authorities do,.or think they do, all they
reasonably can to promote the good or-
der and welfare of the district about the
bridge. Nevertheless the feeling is rapidly
gaining ground and becoming almost uni-
versal among our citizens of both political
parties, that the Borough system is an ex-
pensive humbug. We cannot undertake to
say that this should be so, but we do_ know
that it is so. It certainly ought not thus to
be viewed, fer if we may not have a more
perfect municipal'government, we ought to
make the most of this. We are constantly
importuned to “pitch into” these omcials for
not clearing the sidewalks from the knots, of
men and boys who every day and evening
fill all the spaces of the walks about Prow-
ltt’s corner and other places, rendering the
passage of a lady, without being‘driven into
the street next to impossible. [Something
ought to be done to terminate this nuisance.
Wlt seems after all, that the internecine
. war at the south-west end of the town,'ovcr
its nomenclature, is' not yet' entirely conclu
ded. We had supposed, that after the dem-
ocratic President of the N. iY. &, N. H.
Railroad had come to the rescue and proved
his admiration of our new Republican Pres.
ident, by- suggesting Grantwville, that the
flag of truce was instantly run out; the
Rowsytoners, crossing their legs, had som-
nolentlysmoked the cslumet of peace; that
the 'old time Five Mile River-tors, had calmly
resigned to the inevitable, and as Mr. Sew-
ard once telegraphed _ the President after a
‘ full dinner,'~“everything will be happy.”
Not so however. Like Banqno’s g’host, it
will not down. The classic and artistic ele-
ments' are again-moving on the works of the
plain, homespun, well—todo and comfort-'
ably minded inhabitants, and it really looks
as if it would be fought out on that line if
it takes all sum or. “What’s in a name,”
quoth ancient late]. But “Phoebuuwhat a’
name,” was the startled interjection of By-
ron'upon seeing “Amos Cattle” subscribed
to a published criticism. What young couple
is there who have “undergone” the duty Of
selecting the appropr'mte name for the first?
born who do not sympathise with our friends
in their “most tenderest parts}! Can’t the
following be adopted as a final compromise:

The Young Mfls Christian Association
are to be congratulated upon their success
in inougurstingthesecond course of Lectures.
Such names as Murdoch, who reads on
Wednesday evening, and Curtis, lilhaillu,
&c.,who follow, are so cicnt to give char-
acter to any course a d worth the entire
cost of a season_ticket. Murdoch’s self-sac-
rificing and self-imposed labors among the
sick and wounded heroes of the war, entitle
him to the gratitude ofcvery patriotic heart,
while his talents as a popular elocutionist
and reader are of the very highest order.
The magnetic power and charm. of the hu?
man voice is marvelously portrayed in his
readings.‘ Dicken’s Ancient Maiden Lady
in yellow curl~ papers, as surprised by the
lost Pickwick, will start the buttons on a
cynic’s vest, while his “Drifting,” “Song of
the Vine,” “Raven,” “Bells,” “Bridge of
Sighs,” &c., touch all the tender ch'ords in
the human organism, and “Sheridan’s Ride”
and “The Six‘Hundred” rouse the martial
spirit to its climax. In short, Murdoch
plays upon the heart-strings like a wily ma-
gician, by the mere fiexions of his voice.

SENATORIAL—A fierce strife is going on
in Maine and at Albany, over the election of
United State Senators, Lot Morril and Fath-
er Hamlin are the contestants in Maine.
Senator Mergan and Gov. Fenton, the ap-
parent contestants in N. Y., _with threatened
diversions for Marshall 0. Roberts, Horace
Greely and others. At present it looks as if
SenatorMorgan was ahead, in the race. The
fact that about everything is manipulated
at Albany, in the same way our New 'YOI‘k .
It New Haven Railroad company manipu-
lates the Connecticut- senate, wrendexs any:
correct guessing as to the results, out of the
question. We must wait to see.
P. S.—Since the above was in type the
Contest in Maine has been settled infavor of
Ex-Vice Pres. Hamlin, and Gov. Fenton has
received the nomination in New York, and
both- will undoubtedly. be elected. Carl
Schurz receives the nomination in Missouri,
Lt. Gov..Cumback_ in Indiana, and John

Hoox & LADDER COMPANY’S BALL—We

made‘by our boys of" the Fire Department

proposed entertainment. To them it means
more than merely a “good time’f which they
as a matter ofcourse, are sure to have. The
keeping up of their organization costs these
young men money, as well as time and la-
bor, and the community owe them a debt of
gratitude it should not fail to recognize in a
tangible way, now thatthe appeal is so be-
comingly made. '

‘ WJohn Minor Bot‘ts who has been prom-
inent in our politics for thirty years, died on
Friday week, at his home in Culpepper
County'V a. He was born in1802, in Prince
William County, Va. His parents both per-
ished; in the confia‘gration. of 'the Richmond
Theatre in 1811. By profession he was a
lawyer; but he preferred the life of a farm-
‘ tics he was a Whig, and a partisan of Henry-
Clay,a’.nd when in Congress advocated the
political measures of that statesman. Du-
ring the Rebellion he remained neutral, and
his farm'was alternately raided by the two
contending armies. His last p'ublic act was
'signing his name to the bail-bond of” J effer-
son Davis in 1867, with Mr. Greeley and
others. During the war, we were frequent-
ly and hospitably entertained at his. farm
house at Culpepper, as, were many of our
union soldiers. Although on the dividing
line between the twocontending armies and
more or less despoiled by both, his loyalty
to the old flag was undisguised and sincere.
Peace to his ashes.

A Bichlron Mine Discovered.
Mnssns. Ennons.—A valuable mine has
been discovered the ore of which is of the
same-class as the noted Saulsbury mines of
this State (termed bog ore). The out-crop.
pings are to be seen on the edge of a drain
on the land of Mr. Bradley, about one hun-
dred feet north of the N. Y. & N. H. R. R.,‘
and one quarter of a mile west of Westport
station. All miners know that in the third
layer, about one hundred feet in depth, the
richest ore is found. From appearance and
knowledge of formations of this nature, I
should judge that the veins underlie all
contagious land, as welli in close proximity
have passed through the first vein, which is
from two to three- feet thick.
This ,mine is'co'nveni‘ently located for
transportation, and in time when a shaftis
sunk upon it and its value ascertained, one
can foresee a population gather around it
with all the necessary machinery andbuild-
ings in connection with their laborers and
their support.- If geologists will visit the
Out-croppings_ and give publicity to their
views, it would be. of great benefit to the
State at large. If farmers were better sc-
quainted with geology there would be more
discoveries of this kind and less valuable
ore lie‘buried in the earth. , ‘_ . *’

Masons. Barrera—With a few observations on the
communication of Bro. B. in your last issue, I pro-
pose to close this‘ series of letters, so far as I am con-
cerné'd. ' ' . ,5. ,5
Fire't‘then, with respect “this so called “law of the
Christian church.” “Let your women keep silence,"
&c. I observe, that Joel says, “Your sons and your
daughterssllallprophesy." How can they prophesy,
and keep silence at the same time! Now, if- “the law
ofthe christian church" utterly forbids women speak-
ing “in the'chureh,” and enjolns absolute “diaries,"
then I say, there is no place for women to exercise
her gifts under the christian dispensation, and Joel’s
prediction comes to naught.
Joel says, “on my servants, and on my hand-maid-
" ens, (thank you Joel for saying Mndmidens.
I will pour out of my spirit, and they shallprophesy.”
But Paul says _"et‘lence." I sufi'er not a woman to
teach,” and this, B. calls “the law of the christian
church.” But can a woman prophesy, and not teach!
Can a woman prophesy and keep silence! But
Paul silfis herto “pray .and prophesy” with her
covered. But still, there isB’s “compact plalanx."
Paul says, "desire spiritual we, but _ratller 'lhat ye
. prophesy.” But if a woman should have her desires-
crowned by the possession of such a gift what shall
she do with it 7 For .B. says, there is no place in the
Christian church for its exercise. She must keep “si-
lenee.” But the tactic they did teach and did not keep
silence. Do the scriptures" anywhere condemn them 7
I trow not. '
- Joel makes the possession of spiritual gifts, on the
part of Gods people, both male and female, one of the
remarkable, and previous peculiarities of the“ spirit’e
dispensation. ' And he says, they ehallpropheey. But
B. says they shall not. So settle your account with
Joe], Br. 3. It will not do to Say, that these were
extraordinary gifts, and therefore not to be contin-
ued in the church. No such condition, or restriction
is nominated in the bond. How long these gifts con-
tinued, it is impossible now to say. However there
be good men, talented men, and eminent scholars,
who contend, that even the extraordinary gifts of the
apostolic church, have never been wholly withdrawn
, but to a greater or less extent have existed in the Chris-
tian church. But be this as it may; God does still
pour out his spirit. on his “servants, and handmaidQ
ens," and some of them are richly endowed, and, if
they were not taught to repress them, and forbidden
the privilege bf exercising the “testiniony of Jesus,
which is the spirit of prophecy,” results, might in-
deed be wonderful still. But no one can rise above
his faith. Make the people believe that they cannot,
and must not either expect "to possess or exercise
the these gifts of the spirit,.and they will not seek
them. "And as conscience, always follows faith, they
are not disturbed about the matter, because they are
taught to believe that such pr'ivilegei arenot accord-
ed them, by christianlty. But I tremble when I think
of the fearful responsibility of such teachers. I
would not dare to repress or silence, a spirit baptised
follower of Jesus because of her sex. while it is writ-
ten, “there is neither Jew _nor Greek,‘ bond or free,
male or female, for yeare all one in Christ Jesus."
No, no! rather let us say with Moses, “would God
that all the Lords people were Prophets, and that he
would put his spirit upon them.’.’
Br. B. has a marvelous facility of disposing of the
cases cited by me, wherein woman has possessed.
and exercised such gifts. . He seems to measure the
importance of the fact, by the space, such cases occu-
py in history. ‘ ' ,
Thus, “Deborah has only a few sentences of histo-
ry in the book of Judges.” t‘Huldah the Prophetesl,
dwelt in Jerusalem” do, and then 'exit Hnldah. If
this be the way to dispose of such cases, pray what
may be the import of such a passage as the follow-
ing, vlz., “God _s's'loae.” There are only three words
here, but how poor the world wonld‘be, if these were
obliterated! And who shall measure their import.
Please take another, "God is a Spirit," and still one
more, “Jesus wept.” How precious l‘ How full of
meaning! .What a mistake we should commit, to
measure their importance, by the relative space they
occupy in the sacred volume. ’ '
. Now, there is a little sentence in B’s letter, which
really astonishcs me, to wit, “Before examining H’s
facts,-let us consider Gods facts." “H’s facts" and
“Gods facts,” are here placed in such Juxtaposition,
as to imply a striking contrast, if not antagonism,
And thus, he seeks to convey the idea, that any facts
are really no facts. This‘is surprising. Were 'not my
facts drawn from the scriptures 7 And. therefore as
much "God's facts" as those cited by him ?
Let as name some of them. ' Deborah was a Proph-
etess and judged Israél. and led the hosts to battle,
and thus asserted a threefold function, let, a spirit-
ual teacher. 2nd, a civil ruler or magistrate. 3rd, s
a‘miiitary leader or Commander. Whose fact is this
Dr. B 7 So of the out-pouring of the Spirit on male
and female on the day of Pentecost. Whose fact is
this 7 It is afoot that women did teach in the apos-
tolic age, as witness Priscilla. nnd Phillips four
'daught'ers. She was a “helper.” She "laboured
with Paullh the Gospel}! And the “beloved Persia,
. labored much in the Lord.” It is also a fact, that Ms-
» ry rceeloed the first commission fr‘om Christ, to pro-
claim a risen saviour, and thus teach the Apostles
themselves. Why did they not “silence" her 7 But
nut to repeat any mere, let me ask, are these “_II’s
facts,” or “Gods facts 7"
a
lows. “Now tohim (and her too) that knoweth to
'do good, and death it not, to him it is sin." Accord-
ing to this law. you must either keep your women in
ignorance, or. if they are educated, and endowed
with spiritual gifts, allow them‘ to use such gifts.
God never beetowe a talent to - be hid in a napkin.
And if he confers a gift, it must be employed for him.
Ifso, there mustbe a field. Woman must have the
privilege to work for Gad in his vineyard. And we
be to'hlm who shall inhibit, in such a case.
If she have gifts, and graces, and “knoweth to do
good,” she must do it, or take the consequences.
Bntifshe may not teach, if she must be in ~ ce, if
her lips must be sealed; what then 7 May she the
pen 7 May she teach by signs 7 “Let her ask her hus-
band.” . ' , . .3 '
Of what avail are Paula words in such a case, “I
beseech thee (wonder if he was as reluctant as Br. B.
is 7) “I beseech the true Yoke fellow, help those we-
men that lsboured with me in the gospel.” Now, if
it read thus, Br. B. would be consistent “I beseech
thee true yokefehow, that wherever a woman raises
her head to speak, "scotch her." Pour out uponher
your invectlve, scorch her presumption with keenest
satire; ridicule her pretentious by cemparlng her to
Eve on the platform, with the Devil for a prom'pter,
and poor defenceless worrisome;
s ence,nntil she learn to be in
“squection.” Let her ask her husband at home.
Oppose to her, the “compact phalanx of the law of the
christian church.” ‘ ‘
“H. does not relish, i fear. these‘lawe prescribing
the sphere of women's subordination. which Paul lays
down for Christian Churches.” , . ‘
"LAws 7" An incidental and limited restriction sn-
no‘nced as “ the,law of Christanityl When, to give
it such force ls tostultt‘fy its author 7 No, indeed! H.
does not relish such laws. You might as well say that
the law of christiauity' obliges woman to be veiled
and mufiled in public for all time. and nameless other
. temporary and conventionaln-Sms should be expand-
ed into “laws," and- thus bind the consciences Of men
in all ages. Such was the Phariseic conceptionsnd
perversion of the law of the Sabbath. And they hes-
lts violantion. But he quoted to them a little fact in
history, which did not occupy much space, with re-
spect to David’s going into the house of the Lord nnd
“eating the shew bread, and also giving those who
were with him, which was not lawful to eat but for
the Priests alone,” audthen, himself stated, that the
Sabbath was made-for man.” We stated it as afact,
that woman had exercised the gift of prophesy with
God’s approval under the new dlspensatldn. B. says:
“I have not found that fact in God’s Book of fact-the
Acts.” If he will carefully read the 2d chapter, we
think he may find it there." As, also, in 21st chapter
and 9th verse of the same book. “Pause a moment
(he says) to consider his speculative theology and dog-
matism.” “Bis speculation is, that the gifts of the
spirit were alike on eachand all. This is_ no specula-
tion, but substantial history, and to prove it, we quot-
ed as follo'ws: “They were all with one accord (both
women and men) in one place.” “ And they were all
filled with the spirit, and began to speak with tongues
as the spirit gave them utterance.” ‘fand thereappear-
ed unto them eleven tongues like as of fire, eat upon
each of them. . Is there any speculation about
this 7 And an. I not justified in saying that
“ the gifts of the spirit ' fell alike ~on each and
all i” Not that there’ was no diversity of gifts-
this was not the" point, but there was no . distinction
as between the sexes, in the outpouring of the Spirit
noted in this case in God's book of facts," the Acts. In
a former note I said to him, ”Close up your female
seminaries, silence your _i'ema‘le Sunday School teach-
ers i” To which he answers, "certainly, if in their
teaching they usurp authority over the men.” And
now he says, “he quotesihls as my version; I repudi-
ate it.” Very well, Dre. 1)., there it is, word for
ecy as that by which One may understand all myste.
rice, and allknowledge.” This is surprising! I am
sure Bro. B. will change his 'opinion‘ if he will careful-
ly read these words again.~— I simply deny that Paul
gives any such definition. Let any reader consult 1st
Cor. 13 I, and he will be satisfied.
Thanking yoa, Messrs. Editors, for your kind in-
diligence, 1‘ take my leave of this diseaselOn tor the

Subsidy to the Union Pacific Railroad.
The issue of Government Bonds to the
Union Pacific Railroad Company is, by in-
structions from President Johnson, contin-
ued as rapidly as the road is extended over
the successive sections. The special com-
mission appointed in September last to make
thorough examination of theroad, reported
that the route was well; selected and the
work well done, and theCompany have giv-
satisfactory security that they will build
and equip the line strictly according to the
requirements of the national charter. The
extension of the load is being rapidly pushed
during the .winter, and the present, gap off
less than four hundred miles. between .flmf
Unionand central roads will be;'ci1tirely
filled, up in the cominwring.

Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consfimptlom . .
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
alternative. andthe alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw
out the astricjuice to dissolve the food with the Pul-
monlc S p, and it is made into good blood without
fermentation or scoring in the stomach.
The eat reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumpt on is, they try to do too much; they give med- '
ieine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to sto night
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they derange
the whole di estive powers, locking up the secretions
and eventu y the p:tient sinks and dies.
Dr, Schenc in b treatment, doés not try to stop
the cough nig tsweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. No
