LOSAN'S DEFENSE.
"General Logan appears to have thought
fit necessary to enter into an elaborate yin
- dication of bis political position, and es
pecially to deny all connection with any
■ such .plot to force an objectionable candi
- date upon the Republican party, as has
been quite freely attributed to Senators
Cameron and Conkling, and himself. The
' value of this explanation may seem less
when it is pointed out that he does not
deny the main facts of the situation, but
only objects to certain interpretations put
upon them by the press and public. Thus
he admits that he has taken counsel with
. Messrs. Cameron and Conkling. He ad
mits that he is doing all he can to procure
the re >ni iti at ion of Grant. He does not
deny that he has left Washington for the
■ sole purpose of making Grant's fight in
Illinois. And as he has now gone to
- Springfield in advance of the open
ing of the State Convention, it does
not require to be said that he is there
in order to influence and if possible con
trol, the Convention. In short, Mr. Lo
gan's disclaimer appears to us to be for
the most part irrelevant and sophistical,
and for all the credit it is likely to get with
the people of his own State it might as
■well have been omitted. The bargain of
the " Senatorial Group "^is one of those
phenomena which are logically deduced
from experience, and which therefore can
not be denied away at pleasure. The de
termination of Logan to carry Illinois for
Grant has in less cautious moments been
openly avowed by him and his trusted
friends. The motives of the coalition of
•which he is a member are too obvious
to be missed. It is a bold, game in
•which these politicians are engaged, and
if it succeeds no doubt they will acquire
greatly increased power from it. But if it
does not succeed it is equally plain that
none of them will ever again be in a posi
tion to bargain away the votes of their re
spective States.
INSTINCTIVE SYMPATHY WITH LAW
LESSNESS.
The Sandlot Ward Presidents of San
' Francisco at their Sunday meeting took
the opportunity .to pass resolutions ex
- pressing their sympathy with the Tulare
county squatters, and intimating that if
necessary the Sandlots were prepared to
furnish a contingent for the aid of the
aforesaid squatters in their resistance to
the laws of the country. Thus instinct
ively do the men of the Sandlots sympa
thize with lawlessness wherever it appears.
They do not know anything about the
merits of the Tulare case. All they un
derstand is that the squatters have been
, defying the process of the United States
•;-: Courts. That is quite enough for the
Sandlots. however. They' feel themselves
to be at one with all who 'break the
laws under whatever circumstances, and
they are moved to declare themselves the
." allies of the Mussel Slough outlaws with
out further inquiry. The people of San
Francisco would do well to reflect upon
this characteristic trait in their fellow
citizens of the Sandlots, for it betokens a
disposition which is certain to manifest
itself at all times in the same way. It
is the inevitable point of view of a class
of people who have all their lives been
"forniust the Government," no matter
what the character of that Government
might be. They are fcr the Mussel Slough
squatters simply and solely ; because the
latter are lawbreakers and rioters.
W HITTAKE R'S DEFENSE.
Cadet Whittaker still insists that he did
; not write the note of warning, despite the
unanimous opinion of the five experts. He
suggests that whoever wrote it may have
■'_. done so in bis (Whittaker's) room, while
he was asl.ep, and that the imitation of
- his handwriting might have been easily
done, since there were plenty of specimens
of it lying around. But it is by no means
so . easy a matter to imitate handwriting.
Not one person in a thousand can do it'
successfully, '. even , with much study, and
experts can detect ■' the r closest imitation
" very certainly. Had this been an imita
>.. tion there wonld have been features about
- it which would have distinguished it from
"Whittaker's own writing, and the experts
•would have been able ;to ' point out each
difference of ' this kind. We • cannot but
* feel that their arguments upon this point,
. ; after so exhaustive an examination of all
the i handwriting : submitted i to "", them, is
almost conclusive as to the : guilt of -Whit
taker,
PERSISTENT SUBSIDY SCHEMERS.
The pertinacity of certain subsidy beg
gars before Congress is phenomenal. Though
the justification for such aid as ■- they so
licit has long since passed 'away, and
though all the conditions under which the
National Government first assisted private
enterprise in the construction of transcon
tinental railroads have ceased to exist,
these importunate lobbyists exhibit the
same greed and impudence they have man
ifested from the first. There is a bill now
before Congress which embodies the latest
job they have manufactured. It sets out
with the pretense of forfeiting all railroad
land grants which have not been earned
by the fulfillment of the terms of the
grants. This proposition, however, is only
a blind, the real purpose of the bill being
to take the lapsed grants and distribute
them among the subsidy seekers who are
besieging the Capitol. The worst of these ad
venturers is the Texas and Pacific Railroad
Company, which is now clamoring for the
passage of a bill renewing its laud grant
and extending the time for the completion
of its line. The New York Evening Post in
a recent article thus states the case of the
Texas and Pacific : "A bill now before Con
gress gives the company six years further
time to complete its road from Marshall,
" Texas, to the Pacific Ocean, and of course
"revives and continues the grant of land,
"25,000 acres for every mile of road, sub
"ject to the right of actual settlers on such
" land to purchase a certain quantity there
"of at a fixed price. The company has
"constructed about one-seventh of its road,
" from Marshall westward, and for this and
"forthe remainder of its road yet to be
"built within Texas it received from the
"State a large quantity of valuable land.
"If the bill should be passed the effect of
" the law would be to confirm the grant to
"the company of public lands beyond the
"State of Texas, on the line from £1 Paso
'__ - >
"to the ocean. This includes lands on the
" line as laid down across the whole Terri
"tory of Arizona, where not a spadeful of
"earth has been turned by the company or
"a single thing done to perform the agree
" ment by which it received the grant. But
" this is not the whole of the case. Across
"the Territory of Arizona a railroad has
been nearly finished. The Southern Pa
'' cific Railroad Company has laid its tracks
" substantially parallel with the route of the
"Texas Pacific Railroad Company, and not
" far from the tracks of thelattercompany —
"if its tracks are ever put down at all.
It is asserted on good authority that
" within three hundred days the Southern
"Pacific will have its road in running
"order from Yuma, at the western line of
" Arizona, to El Paso, at the western line
"of Texa3." This being the case it fol
lows that the Texas and Pacific is asking
Congress to help it build a road the need
for which has chiefly been disproved by
the actual construction of a line across
Arizona without any Government subsidy.
The Southern Pacific has asked no help
from the Government, and has built the
road. The Texas Pacific now comes for
ward, and, on the plea of public welfare,
asks that the nation shall enable it to enter
into a perfectly useless and injurious rivalry
with private enterprise and capital. A
more monstrous proposition was never
made.
The only possible ground upon which I
subsidies can be asked is the ground that
the undertaking is requited by the public
interests, and that the circumstances are
such as to render it impracticable to do the
work by private capital alone. In the
case before us this argument fails entirely,
since a railroad has already been under
taken by private enterprise, and since the
practicability of building such a road
without Government aid is thereby dem
onstrated. Nor is this the only consider
ation. The Texas and Pacific demands
that the nation should come in and delib
erately compete with private capital, not
for the benefit of the country, but for the
aggrandisement of other private capital.
Congress, in fact, is solicited to throw the
weight of the Treasury on one side of a
private rivalry, and so to help one set of
men to beat down another set. The pre
tense that any public good can come out
of such an arrangement is almost too ab
iurd to be discussed. Every argument in
favor of subsidies fails here, for
none of the conditions indispensable to
a rational claim for subsidy are present.
The Southern Pacific is doing all the work
the Texas and Pacific professes itself de
sirous of doing, and is doing it with its
own means. There cannot be a necessity
for a second road on the same parallel as
the Southern Pacific. All the talk about
opening new regions for settlement is out
of place as regards the Texas and Pacific,
for the Southern Pacific has already accom
plished that development. The Southern
Pacific will give to the nation all the ad
vantages and fa:ilitie3 that any road could,
and will not cost it a cent. The Texas-
Pacific cannot do more than duplicate the
work of the Southern Pacific, yet it re
quires millions of acres of land. There is
in short no conceivable ground of public
policy upon which this subsidy scheme
can be sustained, and Congress will
make an evil and damaging record
for itself if it passes the bill before
it. The case of the Northern Pacific
is scarcely less unreasonable. That com
pany has allowed its land grant to lapse,
and meantime another company, without
subsidies, has begun its western end, and
is prepared to continue the enterprise.
And now comes the Northern Pacific with
a bill containing a provision to the effect
that the purchase by it of any railroad or
railtoads already - built on the line of its
road "shall be deemed a compliance with
"the provisions of its charter." The plea
for subsidy is that private enterprise can
not build the road ; but if private enter
prise does build it, then it is to be consid
ered all the game as if it had not been
possible to build it in that way. That is
the meaning of this proposition, and it is
preposterous. The Northern Pacific ad
mits that . it has no claim for subsidy in
the same breath with which it demands it.
Both these subsidy schemes ought to be
kicked out of Congress, for they are neither
more nor less than clumsily-disguised steals.
CONGRESS AND THE UTES.
It almost seems as though a fatality at
tended all dealings " with the Indians. It
is apparently impossible to get Congress
to do anything regarding these people in
good faith, or without such follies and
procrastinations ' and duplicities as con
vert intended good into evil. ■ The
treaty/with the -Utes. has .taken
a great deal*' of labor and negotiation to
bring about. The Indian Department has
worked . hard and conscientiously upon it."
It was the only alternative with a war
which must cost the country an enormous
sum, and for the prosecution of .which the
War Department is by no means prepared."
Yet, knowing all this, and - knowing ' the
importance of a prompt ratification of the
articles agreed upon, so as to convey to the
Utes an impression that the . Government
meant -i to'f- keep M its 5 faith this X time,
Congress - has shuffled ■ and - dallied
with . the ■ matter "v week ,- after ; week
until at last the Indians have lost patience <
and confidence, and many of their young
men have gone upon the war path. =' And
thus it may be asserted, as it is asserted,
that Congress is directly responsible for the
late ' murder of prospectors 'by Utes, and
that it will be directly responsible for ; the
Indian war which now appears inevitable.
Had j ' the treaty been ratified - when git
was introduced, the probability is that
the Indian Department would have been
enabled to manage the whole matter peace
ably, and that the Utes would have gone
upon their reservation and stayed there
quietly. Bat Congress had too many
political jobs on its bands, and so it could
not find . time for a piece of business
which was to save the country hun
dreds or thousands of lives, and millions of
money. The treaty has been postponed,
and thrust away out of sight, until the
Indians, who do not understand politics,
have naturally concluded that it was aban
doned, and have returned to their old
habits of aggression and homicide. As
their raids are retaliated upon them by
white men equally careless of the personal
accountability of whatever Indians they
encounter, it is certain that nothing will
be done to prevent the general war whose
foundations have been so carefully laid at
Washington. And presently the Indian
Department will very likely be taken to
task for having failed to accomplish what
Congress prevented it from doing, and the
old cry that the army alone is fit to deal
with the Indians, ill be revived. It is a
melancholy and disheartening business
throughout, and the worst of it is that no
influence seems at all capable of mending it.

and whether said tare be greater or less than the
actual weight of the boxes, together with the
reasons therefore, if such be the case. Adopted.
On Thursday Morgan will ask consideration of his
electoral count bill.
The Tos otlice Appropriation bill was taken up.
(The committee increase the appropriation for rail
road transportation $400,000 ; by steamboats, $50,
--000 ; by messengers, $25,000 ; for mail locks and
lags, $75,000 ; strike out the provision authorizing
the Postmaster-General to remit in favor of the
colonies of New Zealand and New South Wales as
much < f the cost of the overland transportation of
Australian closed mails as he may- deem just, and
strike out the proviso that all star routes shall be
relet after thirty days' advertisement, as now pro
vided by la * on the Ist of October, ISSO, when the
pay for the expedition of the schedule ordered dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, or June 30,
18*0, shall exceed 50 per centum of the contract
price before such expedition ; provided, that this
proviso shall not prevail when the present contrac
tor desires to continue the contract, as reduced.)
Wallace said all amendments increasing appro
priations were recommended by the Postotliee De
partment. In proposing the last-named amendment
the committee was governed by the following con
sideration: The language was contradictory and
almost unintelligible, but aside from that the com
mittee held that the effect, of the proviso was to
strike down the star service west of the Mississippi
river unou at least seventy routes, and they believed
it was both improvident and unwise, for when the
service was once given it vv uld be unwise to take it
away again. These contracts were let for four) ears.
Nearly all of them have run eighteen months or two
years. By the proviso they would have but about
eighteen mouths to ran from the date of the relet
ting. Tbe committer think that if Congress annuls
these contracts, the contractors will have a good
cl >im for damages. Even if they assent to the an
nulment and accept the one month's extra pay pro
vided for in the contract, it would cost the Govern
ment $277,000. But the contracts do not provide
for annulment for any other reason than the fault of
the contractor. There is no provision for amend
ment, and large damages for such annulment could
be obtained from the Governmeet. These were the
principal reasons for the committee's action in strik
ing out th? proviso.
Beck moved to amend the text before the com
mittee's amendment was voted on by adding to the
proviso the following: "And provided, further, that
there shall be no decrease in the present number of
trips nor in the expedition now existing on any of
the routes above referred to in the reletting herein
provided for." He referred to the extravagant in
crease in contracts on some prominent routes, and
said that necessary service should not be withdrawn
while we were retrenching extravagance.
Garland offered the following as a substitute for
Beck's amendment : " And provided, that the con
tractors herein referred to may at any tune after the
passage of* this Act abandon their contracts without
damage to themselves or their sureties."
Teller thought the proviso a most extraordinary
one. -It proposed that Congress should viola 1 c the
faith of the Government.
After a long debate concerning the obligations of
the contract and the workings of the star service
generally, the amendments proposed by Garland
and Beck were rejected, and the committee's
amendment striking out the House proviso was
agreed to.
Booth spoke against the amendment striking cut
the provision relative to Australian mails.
Toe committee's amendment to strike out the
House clause was rejected — yeas 20, nays 23.
The other committee amendments were agreed
to, and the bill passed.

Communication from a" Baptist Minister—
"Behold How Good and How Fleas
ant it Is i for Brethren
to Dwell Together
in Unity."
■ '-'-.-' -■■ ■■' ■■----.
DB. KALLOCH EXPLAINS.
j The pastor of the , Metropolitan ; Baptist
Church, Isaac S. Kalloch, in his prelude Sun
day night on the "Metropolitan and other
Baptist Churches," spoke as follows : You
will all remember that last Sunday night I
announced my intention to desist taking no
tice of any slanderous statements made by
irresponsible parties that would involve me in
any personal discussion ; but the remarkable
experiences of the last week seem to call for
some statement, personal to myself. Last
week you all know the Baptist Convention
was held at Sacramento. I felt greatly in
need of rest, and thought perhaps a week's
vacation and pleasant converse with my old
friends of the Baptist persuasion would do
me good, so I started for the Convention.
They had done me the honor twice out of the
five times that they have held Conventions in
this State, to elect me President ; but imagine
my surprise when I saw hanging around the
door of the place where the Convention was
held, the same crowd of pimps, detectives
and assassins, that have surrounded me in
this city for the last three or four months.
Verily, I thought I ought to be at home with
these surroundings. , In the Convention I
found every mean specimen of a minister that
ever I had any little petty disagreement with ;
every minister that had any little personal
spite against me as a man and a parson.
Also, I saw there, dressed in broadcloth and
wearing plug hats, having the semblance of
gentlemen, but who, to my knowledge, for a
year past have not had a dollar in their
pockets, men who have not had money enough
to pay their expenses of a trip from this Tem
ple to the Baldwin Hotel ; and yet here they
were, all dressed up for the occasion, and
ready for their work. It looked to me as
though they had me in their toils for a time.
I was never so completely taken by surprise in
my life. Never, in all the brutality, ferocity
and hideousness of the attacks of these fellows
upon me, did the thought enter my head that
they would attempt to steal a Baptist Con
vention from me. I was caught napping, but
God delivered me from the mouth of the lion.
Never in the annals of inhuman persecution
occurred such a barbarous attempt to ruin a
man ; such an attempt to prejudge me and
my son I never met with before.
THE BAPTIST CONVENTION AND ITS ATTEMPTED
ACTION IN THE CASE OF DB. KALLOCH.
Eds. Record-Union : Having been a par
ticipant in the proceedings of the Baptist
Convention held in Sacramento last week,
and a careful observer of the j temper and
mode of action of the two antagonistic par
ties, and observing the comments editorially
and in the local columns of the daily press, I
ask the privilege of making a brief but im
partial statement concerning the points in
question.
First in importance, as well as in order of
statement, is the fact that from the moment
of I. S. Kalloch's advent on the political
platform, as an advocate of the "W. P. C, he
was fully understood by many in his own
denomination as entering anew upon an am
bitious course entirely at variance with the
spirit and duties of the gospel ministry. His
course since that moment has never received
any formal indorsement by representative
bodies of the denomination in California, but
on the contrary.has met the unfaltering oppo
sition of a large and most respectable element
among his own brethren and the universal
disapprobation of Eastern Baptists, as the
attitude of certain ministers and churches
here and the utterances of the Baptist press
at the East unitedly testify. It is therefore
not true, in point of fact or principle, that
the indorsement of Dr. Kalloch by his own
denomination here or elsewhere is of such
long standing that no protest at this late day
is or can be of any avail.
St — The polity of the Baptist de
nomination being purely congregational, the
local indorsement of any man by a single
church or a number of churches, against the
protest of a large majority, does not involve
the denomination, as a whole, in the support
of wrong done by its ministers and churches.
True, the duty of discipline demands recogni
tion and enforcement in all such cases ; but
the practical obstacles which always beset
the practical application of purely republican
principles find their worst form of illustra
tion in an attempt at disciplinary action by
the representative action of local churches.
In proof of this fact allusion to the celebrated
Bai shall case at Oakland is sufficient. A bar I
man was then snd there arraigned, tried, found
guilty, and duly deposed from the ministry,
whereupon a second council met and restored
the deposed minister to the functions of his
office. The very men who thus set aside the
action of a large and intelligent body of
Christian miuisters and laymen were promi
nent in the recent successful attempt to
quash any preliminary consideration looking
to the repudiation of I. S. Kalloch and I. M.
Kalloch, as duly authenticated and approved
ministers of the gospel. The jailer of the
San Francisco jail and the aged brother who
assumed the prerogatives of censor to the re
ligious press for publishing unquestioned
facts, both of whom had no word of censure
for the Kallochs in the late Convention nor
would suffer others to utter their solemn con
victions, were the abettors of the infamous
overruling of a large and respectable council
in the restoration of a still more infamous
man to the ranks of the Christian ministry.
Is it a matter of surprise that the public sen
timent should hold the entire denomination
responsible for the indorsement of wrong,
under circumstances so humiliating to all the
lovers of purity in character and life in the
men who as-time the solemn functions of the
Christian ministry? And yet, the piety and
intelligence of the Baptist denomination in
California and throughout the United States
call aloud for the just condemnation of ail
who desecrate the sacred office, regardless of
talents, position or power.
Thirdly The action proposed by those in
terested in the purity of our ministry and the
vindication of our religious principles, as well
as in the general prosperity i,f a pure Chris
tianity, was such as should have received the
indorsement of Dr. Kalloch himself and all
his adherents, had he and they desired the
vindication of the holy religion which they
profess more than present exemption fiom
preliminary inquiry and denominational ex
pression concerning the issues so painfully
pressed upon the consciences of all who seek
the peace and prosperity of the Christian
Church in all its various forms of organiza
tion, as animated by the spirit of Christ him
self. In this connection, it is but proper to
state that the vote on Mr. Abbott's proposed
resolution, when analyzed in the light of all
the facts, is in no wise to be regarded as a
fair expression of sentiment on the main
question at issue. The following considera
tions will render this fact apparent to all :
1. The vote was not the expression of duly
qualified delegates, several persons voting who
were not representatives of the churches.
2. The "magnetic " Kalloch had the sympa
thetic support of nearly all the female dele
gates in the convention, whose influence led
others of their own and even some of the
"sterner" sex to vote "aye." It was the
writer's own eye which took in the scene of
three women laying hold of one man, in a
fruitless endeavor to gain his affirmative vote.
Whether it was due to their influence that he
did not vote in the negative deponent saith
not, but such was the fact. 3. The question
was put by the Moderator in defiance of ail
rule, even according to his own admission,
his excuse being a lame afterthought or at
least too feeble for a justification at the time
of taking the \o.e. His refusal to heed the
call for the yeas and nays was unquestiona
bly a result of indecision on his part, he be
ing pledged to the measure lin advance, as
well . as :to , certain resolutions concerning
Sabbath desecration, which would have in
volved the unqualified censure of I. S. Kal
loch, and which were, I am informed, pre
pared largely at his instance and with his
approval. ,; 4. A large number of men not
fully in sympathy with Dr. Kalloch unques
tionably voted in opposition to the reading of .
the resolution, on the ground of it-- inadmis
sibility in a purely deliberative body. These
brethren cannot but j know that their plea is
of little avail in | popular estimation, while
the thirty-six who voted nay were nearly all
men of deep convictions, the few ladies who
did vote thus doing so on the merits of the
question. * The . morale of the negative vote
is therefore vastly superior Ito that of . the
larger numerical strength of incongruous ele
ments, and the action of the Convention on
the question at issue is therefore one deserv
ing the approbation of public sentiment, as
it will most assuredly receive the commenda
tion of the Baptist denomination at the East."
The Baptists of California, in common with
men of ail classes, admit the great ability
of I. S." Kalloch ' for ; good jor " ill, as ' : his
great powers • may ,be : directed, but - they
have j? declared * ' even ■£ by *J the X vote of
last -y*. week '"J; their t'l emphatic v [ disappro
bation of his 'course,"' as derogatory to I his
character as ' a Christian * minister, and ? ex
tremely prejudicial to the peace and prosper
ity ef the cause of Christ, which has suffered,
till suffers,' and must continue to suffer from
tha I consequences jof f his ' unholy ambition.
For 1 this, his ' besetting I sin, attended with
powers of invective ' seldom equaled, be has
received and must through all bis future bear
the ineffaceable stains of wrong-doing, and he
may well exclaim with " Cardinal olsey, in
his fall, " Had I but served my God with half
the devotion I have served my king (ambi
tion), He would not thus have left me to suf
fer reproach." v. Baptist./
- The above is from a Baptist minister, but
the following is from the ' pen of a common
mortal, who has not had the good fortune to
have been baptized by ■ immersion, nor, we
fear, by any other method of administering
that important ordinance :
Eds. Record Union: A local item in your
paper this morning attracted imy attention
and Amused me greatly. The item related to
the late Baptist Convention, and was a brief,
concise and just criticism on the spirit of that
Convention. I attended the Convention be
cause I was informed there would be "music
in the air." I never had the pleasure before
oi witnessing the proceedings of any religious
body, and had formed an opinion of the
dignity and solemnity of such proceedings
which has j been wholly and pleasantly dis
pelled. As you say in the local referred to,
they do things very much after the manner of
common sinnets. On the day when Cuirey
got in his work on Kalloch on a side bar, it
was evident that Guirey was feeling the sen
timent to see how best he and his party would
stand in the main fight. The manner in which
the Convention sat down upon him was very
discouraging. Dr. Frost mistook his calling.
He should have been a politician. He did as
nice a little piece of parli imentary management
as 1 have ever seen in any ward meeting. But
to appreciate the thing in all its rare beauty
you should know more of the true inwardness
of the whole affair. There was a fellow here
from Lawrence, Kansas, by the name of
Shimmons. He was evidently in the employ
of the De Youngs, or some other active anti-
Kalloch agency. At all events he was a most
malignant little hornet and buzzed around
the Convention, with his stinger out its full
length. He called a meeting of the ministers
to meet him in the lecture-room of the
church, where he proposed they should take
sweet council together how they might destroy
the metropolitan " bull of the woeds." 1 was
not there, of course. But having accidentally
run across Shimmons lean infer something of
what took place. It was undoubtedly a feast
upon the choicest carrion of scandal, for as a
scandal-monger that Shimmons was boss. I
don't know whether he was a Baptist or
not, but I presume he was, his presence
in the Convention or about it justi
fying that presumption. Well, the anti-
Kalloch caucus resolved on action. Not by
any formal caucus agreement, but Shim
mons had strengthened their spiritual faith.
Among the things understood among them
was that Mr. Cole, of Dixon, should be
Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions.
Dr. Gray agreed before his election to ap
point Cole, who was to bring in some Sun
day-observing resolutions, in which Kalloch
was to be cut right open on his Sunday
breaking sand lot-business. This, you see,
was good political management, resembling
the best methods of the ungodly politicians.
Dr. Gray was elected Chairman, and by that <
stroke the anti-Kallochs captured the Con
vention. Knowing something of the pro
gramme I was surprised that Ike should let
them get away with him so easily. On the
day liefore he had brushed away his tor
mentors and sent them buzzing and demoral
ized like a swarm of flies. It was a masterful
piece of work, and I was pleased to see them
discomfited. Now, however, I saw that they
had the thing, and I feared they would
be too many for Isaac. An anti-
Kalloch Committee on Resolutions was
appointed. Cole was made Chairman,
and the programme was working smooth
ly. Abbott was en the committee. Abbott
is the most preteruaturally solemn thing in
all animated nature except a wet dog. . The
resolutions appeared in due time. Mr. Cole
had his anti Sabbath-breaking gun loaded
for Kalloch, and the game was in sight.
Abbott, with three others of the committee,
had the main manifesto drawn up in theolog
ical-seminary English. Tnus this anti-
Kalloch committee advanced on the enemy
in two sections. Kalloch appeared unsus
pecting and undisturbed. The reading of the
resolutions began and proceeded far enough
to reveal their true import. Kalloch arose to
a point of order. He was cool and self
possessed. I began to suspect that he knew
more of the movements of his wily foes
than I had hoped for. A point of order, Mr.
Chairman. "So charges had been presented
against him in his church, and this Conven
tion had.no authority to try him ; this was
not an ecclesiastical Court by several.
Then came a motion to lay the resolu
tion on the table without reading. A
call was made for the ayes and noes —
a vote by churches. Cushing's Manual was
quoted as authority ill support of the right
to demand the call. Kalloch whisked his
brush again. " When did the Baptist Church
adopt Cushing's Manual as an authority gov
erning its ecclesiastical and denominational
councils?" The ' 'hairman now has the say,
thought I. and he is programme against Kal
loch. But the Chairman had not even heard
the demand for the call of churches. The
thing was splendid. " All in favor of laying
the resolutions on the table will rise," and
forty-six arose. A clean majority, and Kal
loch has got them. I saw three ladies urging
a minister to get up, and after a feeble resist
ance he got. Than I said, " Now for Coles'
anti-Sabbath-breaking gun." But it was not
heard from. To the hour of adjournment
Dr. Gray parried that explosion, and Mr.
Cole has it still in his pocket. The Chairman
wasn't programme, and so nobody got away
with Isaac much. Htdbopathist.

its superior excellence. As a TuILET SOAP I hive
uever seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses
superior remedial qualities. 1 have used it in two

great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties
are remarkable. Respectfully,

teething. The child was in such misery that it
would .ften be awakened out of sleep by the severe
itching. He would then scratch bis head and face
until the blood ran from the scabs. We tried every-
thing we could ti d, but nothing seemed to give any
permanent relief until we tried PHOSPHATE - OAK.
Before we had used one cake, the child's "Mad and

his belief that it would be an excellent remedy for
Poison Oak. It was accordingly tested for this pur-
pose. A boy had been so badly poinoned as to be
confined to his bed for a week, and bad his hands all
covered with sores when he began to use PHOS-
PHATE SOAP. Within twenty hours he was
greatly relieved, and in a lew days was entirely
cured of Poison Oak by the use of PHOSPHATE
SOAP. *." '"" ."..•"
Men and women, (Mag aid old, who wish to keep
