Ha discuised at luugth ( n trie press aad its relation to party. He aivorated an independent exprunsioa of political views, even though 't involves tbe criticism of ruin mi measures of one's own party, for by such mtaig, he claimed, a paity is purified, lie depre cated in emphatic lermsa snbeervimt cringing to patty leaders and high offi cials when they a e wrong. He paid a handsome tribute to Missisuppi, in -which he sa d: "Apa t I 6m ideas of local miatiinir, it is difficult to realize how one could est 88 to lcmember his State. It is impossible, when ell the aaeo: iattona inspire a senM of piide io honors gained through a long career, and ttill maintained. 8uch a pride I feel inMitaia-ippi; and, apart from the garoerod glcrise ot her years of fame, she ttinds tdy upon ihj threshold of a grander luturev If, wi h but a trill ng pioportioa of ber fertile, soil subdued by x or plow, she has ac complished and achievtd so much, what must ba'her destiny when every avenue to areatroe and gloiy shall remain -without obtt notion ? Think of ' the chanaes wrought since the. generation just taking, its plase npoa the , atiim t 'ol action firet came into life. Twenty yean ago, woen this people lay stricken beneath the we'ght of ralam ity to a great to be brne, a deep de spair hung like a pall upon the com monwealtb. Toe gloom wa all per vading and impentt-able. Law was dead and just cs overthrown. Re straint! impost d by custom were not . heeded, btcauee there was no public sentiment to enforce tbem. The re a'raints of morality were not felt by creatures iicpible of the m-ral sense. In tbe tapitol apes chattered and loathsome reptiles crawled. It was a time for despa r if ever such motion comes to earnest heart, and the people, even to their bett and brave t, yielded to the bitterness of tbe boar. The wi.lowi were full of harps, and tha air was life with lam en tat ons for a lost Zioo. Then wai the voice of Coneervatsm beard in the land: "Yon aie not ii captivity; Zion remaici : the temple has not been destroyed. Cease lamenting, and gi to work to recover yourheritag? and to rebuild your s a tered State. After some hesitation tbe wife call wai heeded ; tbe harps were taken down, and pare forth in cheating strains the marching song of progress. The thieves were driven cut. The money changers fled. Vain re pining over ths put fcave way to tffo;t, energy and courage, and all over this fir SMi men speedily beheld the g'ad remit, and we may feel with pride that no other agency has been more potent than the Ipresbjin achieving this re sult, aad in keeping reaction within bounds. Bu', tbe half has not yet been accomplished. Toe wounds of war md of that worse than war which came with peace--are fully healed, sever to break i ut afreeh. fiat there are yet wate places, which might be made to bloom, neglected reeoui c . s, and energies lcf unoccupied. Beciuse the 8ta:e has flourished, it will not do to say she is now proiper one enough and great enough. While - anything remains to do, there is but little done, nor will time do man's work." MR.

Whereas, Numerous reports de rogatory to the character of l)r How ard have been widely circulated ; lietolved by the Centnil Church, That we have fully inquired in'o the ch -racier and past reco d of Dr. How ard, and that we find nothing against his Christian re ord. Resolved, That we find that his char acter and standing have been investi gated t ice before, and that in both cases nothing waa found against him. Resolved, T' at we, as Christians, highly condemn the course pursued by the parties who are trying to break down the charact.r of a pure m n and a high-toned Christian gentle man. Resolved, That we proclaim to Chris tians everywhere that Dr. Howard is now and has been an object of severe persecution, and that we call upon all Christians to take heed to this tes timonial as to the proof of Dr. How ard's character as a gen lemon and a Christian. Resolr.-d, In the language of Rev. I. M. Springer, of Marietta, Ga., his for mer pastor, contained in a letter read by us in reference to the first and fecond investigation of his record: "We pronounce these reports ground less if inv stigation can prove slander to be without foundation." The Minneapolis Floor Market. Minneapolis, Minn., May 20. In its wely review of flour production, the NurlliwrMtrn' Miller will say to-m- rrow: "Nearly all the full active milling capacity is now in operation, only four mills none of which have run steadily for a long time-being idle. The output showed a s ight in crease and will be still larger this week. The production last eek was IL'0.700 barrels, or 20,112 per day, against 116,000 the previous week and 132,92) the same week last year. Nineteen mills are running to-day, making 23,' 00 barrel. The warmer weather makes the wheat grind tough, reduc ng the capacity. Flour is sell quite as well, though at lower prices. The mi lers anticipate a better market now that whe.t is selling on its merits." Bnlta Acalaal Chicago Brokers. Chicago, Iil , May 20.

A Hlmllar Case Decided by Jnds . Uaaeo In ls74. Boston, Mass May 20. A former fishery seizure case similar in every important respect to that of the David J Adams ami iif many respects to th ,t of the Ella M7 DctagMy, waa that of the Gloucester schooner Whi e Fawn in 1874 seizjd on the New Brunswick coist for buying bait at Head Harbor The cose was argued in the Vice Admiralty court of New Brunswick in March of the following year before Judge tla.en who decid l the convention of 1818 in a wholly different spirit from the construction placed upon it hyihe British crown ollicers tnen now. He decided that the teizure was i legal and ordered the release of the vessel with everything that was on board when the seizure was made. Judge Hazon cited the fact that the White Fiwn woe not alleged to have fished within the three-mile limit, and for all i hat appeared it might have been the master's intention to fish oubside the l'init only. It was not for the court to impute an intention to break the law. The capt-in had a right to p-88 with his vessel through the three marine miles to the fishing grounds outside. A Halifax special says Consul Gen eral Phelan, ia his report in regard to the Klla M. Dough'y, will show that the presence of the vessel in St. Ann's bay was due to ice, which prevented her fr im putting to sea and compelled her to seek proper and iuimcdiuts shelter. 100NE, TESN.
