WMMngtM guUimu. Term* $a.oo a Year, fti.oo for Six1 Month*. THURSDAY. APRIL 4, 1878. Itev. J. W. Klepper,, pastor of the Methodist church at Stillwater, and ex-chaplsiin of the Penitentiary, has been "exposed" in the business of work ing up pai dons for prisoneisand taking liberal pay from their friends. He was "so poor," "so poor," and preaching didn't pay. We have received a copy of Hon. M. 11. Dunhell's speech on the Consular System and Foreign Commerce, a very able presentation of facts and figures showing the importance of such-action on the part of the Government as will restore the American tonnage lost dur ing the war. Mr. D. is right again. We cannot be a first class nation with out extensive commerce. Great Brit ain has ruled the world by spreading a net-work of commerce around the globe. Bishop, the man who has been "ex posing" Spiritualism in Chicago, lectur ed in Boston for what is called the."01d South Fund." He got together a $1, 000 audience, but when settling day came, there was only $90 left for the Fund. Bishop had wasted it in board bills, dinners and frolics in which he went round dressed in female attire. Go in, Bishop. There are hundreds of gullible bigots who will pay 50 cents to see you perform tricks with which ev ery school boy is familiar. The accounts of the phonograph, or the talking machine, are as amusing as they are astonishing. It is well for Prof. Edison that he did not live a cen tury or two ago, for he would have been burned at the stake as a wizard. It is so wonderful that it must be the "work of the devil." All the improvements, you know, have been called the "work of the devil'1 by the priests and the su perstitious, and this matter ought to be looked i.ito. Who knows but Prof. Edison is himself a very imp conceal ing his hoofs and tail and laying a trap to lead r.s all away from the true church or something of that sort. Yes, sir. Prof. Edison's invention is either the "work of the devil" or it is all a put up job and the thousands who have heard it are humbugged. Who knows but the whole thing is apiece of masterly ventriloquism. Get out Bishop, With eford and Iluntoon and let us have this thing exposed. Where arc the clergy that they are permitting this thing to go on? Why not "convert" Prof. Edison and have him show how the thing is done. WHITE WASUIXIJ. Senator Drew has written a letter concerning the investigation into the Insane Asylum management at St. Pe ter which smells very strongly of white wash. The correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer-Presss-lsjinclines tonhite Mash. It is tli3 old story over, the one verdict returned after a rail road train has been wrecked and a score or two killed, "nobody to blame." But all the whitewashing of commit tees and newspapers cannot remove the impression made upon the public mind by thefacts as given by all the newspa pers, pro and con. These facts are, (1) An attempt on the part of the trus tees and the physicians to embarrass the investigation (2) Continued cruel ty on the part of the brute Betts, re sulting in one or two cases in the death of patients. Drs. Barll tt and Bowers and the rest of the officers must have known of this cruelty. If they did not, this only shows hpw unfit they are for the places they hold. If they knew of the cruelty and permitted it they should be removed. IE they did not know of it, this is, if anything, still greater rea son for their removal, for their first du ty was to know it. The facts are before the public, and the yerdict is that the present officers should be removed and that the man Betts should be tried for murder and given a term at Stillwater. 77//? EUHOPE AX WAR. We said last week that the indica tions were that in O days Europe would be plunged into the most gigantic war since the days of Xopoleon. Every day the skies darken more and now war is expected in less than 30 days. The facts are, sis we maintained all along, that there was a mere cessation or sus pension of hostilities and that after IJussia had 1i breathing spell, the war would be renewed on a much grander scale. England is making stupendous preparations. Eighteen iron-clads are preparing for sea at the dock-yards and orders have been issued for embarking the advance of the expeditionary corps. England is now virtually in the field and there is no going back. All the results of this war no man can foresee, but there are some results which can be counted on with certain ty. First, Turkey will be driven from Europe and probable entirely destroyed as a nation. Secondly, Bussia will be come, after centuries of waiting and lighting, master of the Black Sea and keeper of the gate of Constantinople Thirdly, the map of Europe will under go many changes, and a number of the smaller powers will meet the fate of Poland. •But, beyond these, there are results possible and even probable to which the above are child's play. The great con test between Monarchy a lid Kepublic ». ism must come «ome day, and why not now? England and Germany are ready for self-government now and France is in a perpetual protest against Monarchy and a chronic struggle for free government. And, improbable as it may seem to many, we should not be surprised if Europe should issue from the great war upon which she is now en tering, with the principle of freegove n ment triumphant and monarchy over thrown. Nor is it improbable that be fore the contest is over the United States may be compelled to take a hand in the contest and repay in some meas ure the debt which she owis to the friends of free government in Europe. War is always to to deplored, but soon er or later the conflict between the two principles must come, and if we had our way we should say let it come in our day. We should like to live to see the monarchical principle in both State and church, oveit'iiown in the earth. Hon. M. II.

The immense immigration into these states is largely due to tiie active efforts put forth to turn the tide in that direction. When will Minnesota wake up to the importance of doing like wise? The Omaha Herald recently inter viewed Mr. living, superintendent of the B. & M. Jt. 11. as to their plans of bringing people to their lands. From a column of information W3 extract the following: Reporter—What'means' iiavc been used to induce so large au immigration into the southern part of the State? Mr. Irving—We have a number of traveling agents who visit the Middle, Eastern and Southern States—Virginia being the only Southern. State from which much immigration comes, aid besides these traveling men. we have a large number of resident agents. They watch affairs everywhere, and if there is a movement in any locality—a colony organizing, or a desire expressed to get knowledge of the West, a man is sent there to take advantage of it. H'jpoi'ter—Is there any arrangement for special rates to immigrants? Mr. Irving—Oh yes, we give them various advantages in that regard, not only in passenger fare but in regard to shipment of fanning t'»ols and house hold goods. We. let them have a car and they jfim it full of all of their vari ous effects. Reporter—What kind of people are generally coming into the State? Mr. Irving—The best clays of. emi grants who ever came into this State. They are generally men of intelligence and thrift, and all have more or less money, and will to able to make im provements, build houses and help to enrich the State. A xOTHER I'uoi'u'acr. Some of the papers are republishing "Mother Shipton's Prophecy." There is another old prophecy not so familiar to the general reader. It is quoted by Dr. Cummiugs in "T..e End," page 183. This prediction was found in the Au gustine Library, at Koine, dated 167.5, and is as follows: "Concerning the waves of the Mvs tic Ship: By Kidolph Gelthiei August, 1073. Before the middle of ilie nine teenth century there will be seditions everywhere in Europe. Republics wi.l be erected kings, nobles, ecclesiastics will be slain, and regulars will desert their convents. Famines, pest leuces and several earthquakes will devastate the State. Rome will lose its sceptre through the attacks of so-called pi ii.s ophers. The Pope will be taken i.w.y by his own people, and the Church, placed under tribute, will be deprived of its temporal goods. Altera short time the Pope will not be. A North ern Prince, with a hugearmy, will rush through Europe, will over-throw re publics and exterminate all ivbels. His sword, guided by God, will valiant ly defend the Church of Christ will tight (or the orthodox faith, aid will bring :der his sway the Mahometan power. A New and Last Paster from the shore, on a sign from heaven, will come in the simplicity of heart ai doc trine Christ aid peace will have re turned to the age." This is not exact as to date, since the events did not all occur before the mid dle of the nineteenth century, but the prediction is fulfilled as to the erection of Republics and the loss of the tem poral power. The Mahometan power is also virtually brought under the sway of the "Northern Prince," and it is possible that Russia may continue her conquests soon and republicanism and true religion be set up throughout Europe. The following prophecy, which we find revived in theNe.v York Observer, has also had a remarkable fulfillment. It is taken from an old volume of pre dictions and bears date 14-33. It ap peared in LittelPs Living Age, No.an 400, October, 1.H53, just, prior to the Crimean War. What is most remarka ble i3 that it hits so exactly as to dates: l.i t« 1 t\v liuinlre I yca-s the 15. at 'I'M Crt'sc-'iit will iissaii Bill ii the Cock ami Hull unite XIin Hear will not prevail.

Father Walsh, of Albany, thus lays down the Rom in Catholic doctine on the subj ct of Hell: He says that although the Church it self, has never defined anything as cer tain concerning the lire and location of hell opinions have prevailed in the Church on both subject, ami from these opinim.s it would be neither wise nor safe to depart. The lire of hell is a material lire, and hell is situated in the bowels of the earth. Heine, in his Hook Le Grand, after describing that hell is filled with long rows ot huge black kettles, which sinners are boiled, proceeds as follows: "In one row were placed Christian sinners, and, incredible as it may seem, their number was anything but small, and the (lev Is poked the fires up under them with especial good will. In the next row were .lews, who continually screamed and cried, and were occasion ally mockid by he fiends, which some times]seeir.ed odd enough—as, for in stance, when a fat, wheezy old pawn broker complained of the heat, and a little devil poured several buckets of cold water ou his head, that he might realizs what a refreshing benefit bap tism was. In the .third row sat the heathen, who, like the Jews, could take no part in salvation and must burn for ever. I heard one of the latter, as a square-built, surly devil put fresh coals under his kettle, cry out from his pot, —'Spare me! was once Socrates, the wisest of mortals—I taught Truth and Justice, and sacrificed mv life for virtue.' But the clumsy, stupid devil went on with his work, and gruml 1 .\, 'Oh, shut up there! All heathens nvnt burn, and we can't make an except! for the sake of a single man.' Thus they differ. Wouldn't it be well for Congress tofitout that Explor ing Expedition and settle the disputed question? The Governor has appointed the fol lowing State board of immigration, un der the recent act of the legislature: First Congressional District—Au gust Peterson, Freeborn county E. C. Huntington, ttonwood county. S. coud Congressional District—Al bert Knight, Nicollet county (second nit rntii not yet appointed.) Third Congressional District—Fred. Von Paumback. Doug'as county Dan iel Anderson, Isanti county. We congratulate our friend Hunting ton, of the Reporter, on his promotion. A few years ago his neighbors thrust the.office of constable upon him and now the Governor has taken him by the hair and lifted him up higher. Mean while we wait to become a notary pub lic, the only office to which we aspire.

He appears to be entirely satisfied with the7«c/, that Thompson is in possession of the office, and is disturbed only at the possibility that this fact did not occur in the regu lar order of law and might affect the va lidity of the Bonds given. My only motive in writing is to state fairly and courteously, what ilr Thompson and his advisers deem to to the law. If he or they are in emu*, it is a short and simple proceeding to bring the matter to a determination by the Courts. Mr. Thompson holds his office, by virtue of his election by the people. The giving of the notice of election, posting the registry lists, the swearing of the Judges, the canvass of the votes, the certificate of his election, his oath of office and the giving of the Bond, one and all may to missing, and yet bv vir tue of his election by the people lie is entitled to the office, and once in pos session, all his actsare valid. All these things above mentioned may be shown by other proof, or may to done at any time. A moment's reflection will show any one that they are for two purposes only—As safe guards to insure a fair e lection, and proof of the result, and as safe guards to insure a faithful ischai of the duties of the office. An ollicer of this village, went through his term of office, without giving a bond or tak ing the oath of office. He discharged his duties faithfully Of what mom ent is it now, that he did not solemnly engage to do this, and furnish sureties that he would do this, at the o:lset. I am not contending that they should be. omitted, but attempting "to explain their use and object. A Bond is of no earthly use, unless an officer proves dir elect in his duty. When one is in possession of an office and acting as such officer under the color of right, the validity of his acts and his right to the office cannot be questioned, in a collateral proceeding or action. Iu au action ou Ihebuui, the (Joint would not entertain a defense based on an alleged wrongful possess ion of the office. These questions can only be raised ou a direct proceeding a gainst the ollicer to oust him from the office. The Bondsmen are responsible for his acts as long as he is actually discharging the duties of the office. "The law is well settled that an offi cial bond given after the strict time re quired by law is valid." '-The office may be declared vacant, on failure to tike the oath and give the bond requir ed, at the time required, but if no ew appointment is made and the proper officers after that time accept the bond, the bond is valid, and the officer may continue to discharge the duties." "An official bond is valid though not executed until after the term of the officer has expired." The above are decisions of the Supreme Court of Ohio,- and I know of no con trary rulings in any Court. The peremptory word '"•shall." seems to trouble many "people. Judge Dick enson held correctly in a case in this county, that the words "shall qualifv in ten days after election," were direc tory merely and the doing of it long af ter that time was sufficient. The rule is a very plain and simply one. When the law says an officer "may" do a certain thing, it means that he "must" and "shall" do it, if rights of the public or third parties re quire the doing of it. When it says one "shall" do a certain thing, at a certain time or place, it is directory merely, unless the failure to do it at the time, o.t at the place, would result in injury to the rights of the public or some third party "When no right or benefit to any one depends upon the imperative use of the word "shall" iu a statute is din-elmy merely." "The words "shall" and "may" in a statute are read inter changeably as may best express the in tent of the Legislature." So'rules the Supreme Court of Illinois. In Wisconsin it is held "When no suJtstautinl reason, why the thing by statute required to be done might not as well be done after the time required, its before, no presumption that by al lowing it to be so done, it might work an injury or wrong, the Court will deem the "statute directory merely, and assume that the intent was, that if not done at, th time, it may be done after wards." The statute gives the Treasurer un til "l:e enters upon the duties of his of fice" t. e. until March 1, to give the bond. It further rovides that lu "shab" do it by Jauy. 15th, but it no place provides that a vacancy s'.ia.l oc cur by f.ilure to do so by Jan/. 157i. It simply provides that this failure so to by that day is sufficient proof of a refusal to serve, on which the Board might, if they Sawfit,electa successor. The law says is shall be "deemed a re fusal which is quite a different thing from declaring it "to he a refusal. To "give" a Bond, requires some thing more than filling out, signing, sealing, acknowledging and handing it manually to the Board. All these may h* done, and no Bond is "given." The Board must accept it, and this is done by formally approving the Bond and the sureties. No officer "gives a bond" until this is done. This approval ami acceptance by the Board, can only be done in a regular convened meeting, and by a vote of the Board. If Thomp son "shall give a bond by January 15," he has until that day to do so .and the Board must be iu session yii that day. If they adjourn over that day, and deprive him of the opportunity to do an act that is for their benefit, the law will not permit them to "deem it a refusal" that Thompson did not perforin an im possibility. To say he should have pre sented the Bond on January 3, is met by the law which savs he need not so until the loth. Had the Board been in session on the 15th, they could have "deemed it a re fusal to serve," i. e. the uoii-presenta tiou of a Bond up to that date, and have elected a successor. They might have done so at any subsequent meet ing, before he presented them the proof, by presenting them the Bond, that in fact it was not a refusal. They would have no right to deem it a refusal, a gainst evidence that it was not so in fact. The reference to Bisse'l, page 207, is simply togging the question. No one disputes that "a refusal or neglect" to file the liond or take the oath in the time required creates a vacancy. But what is the time rtquiredJ Any time before he enters ou the duties of his office, or any time before January 15th. And is the neglect or refusal of the Board to meet, to receive the Bond, the neglect or refusal of the officer to give it? And is any given thing, which we may rightfully "deemn refusal" in fact a refusal, even after we know we were in error, in even "deeming it a refus al?" The Board adjourned its anmtal Jan uiry meeting to February 2«. A this meeting'of February 28, a County Prin ter was elected. The law requires that he be elected at the meeting in January, ami if not so elected, the Board loosi power to elect, and the County Audi tor selects. Thompson presented his bond at this annual January meeting be held by law January 3, and it was accMrtcri. I the transaction took place lif TOi-fari/Bitt' does any one question, that the acts of the Boaid then, take effect fiom, and as if per fotined,ou January 3rd? If they do, there is not only a question as to wheth er we have a County Treasurer, but al so as to whether we have a County Prin ter and on this last hinges the validity of the tax sale of the present year. There is nothing like-carrying the war into Africa. 3 WoUTIIIXOTOJflf The following pulpit utterances were put in tj pc some time sinca and have bsen crowded out by other matter.— They are just as good, however, as they were^vhcii first spoken: 'fifl TIIE PULPIT. ISKECIIER STILL KISIXO. Henry Ward Beecher, like Baphael, is doing his greatest work in his ago. His "declining years'"show no decline, but he rises continually to greater in tellectual and spiritual heights. II sermon delivered a few Sundays ago en "Heredity" is pronounced the greatest of his.life. We copy be-low a portion of it where he speaks of the Marriage of Science and lteligion, which will soon occur, and where he tells the truth a iit the horrible wars and quarrels which have been waged in the name of religion. He says "if the church had been left in the hands of the priesthood it would have gone to the devil long a go." For holding the same views and expressing them, some of the Worthing ton bigots have been ready to immo late us. The difference between the Gospel of Christ and Theology is^ as great as the 'difference between Christ and Judaism. But the churches, al most without exception, are so bound up in Theology that they are daily thrusting out ministers and laymen, for mere difference of opinion upon the ological |)oints. No wonder the peo ple are tired of the Old Churches and are rallying around the Swings and the Chenejs. Here is what Beecher says: The conditions of society keep the masses in a heated, nervous, struggling condition. The barriers of society are among the strongest to keep men in place iu a civilized community. There is not i. man in this church, nor a wo man either, who dare defy them. No adequate provision has been made in church or State for the elevation of men who have not enough will-stamina to act as individuals. It is the spirit of Christ in men's hearts that holds the church from corruption. There have been more quarrels and more wars on account of religion than there ever were from any other cause. If the church had been left iu the hands of the priest hood it would have gone to the devil long ago. They have no sympathy with anything that combats their ideas. It is iu the household, by thefireside,and in loving mother's hearts that the Gos pel has been sustained. Religion will wed science and science will wed relig ion. 1 hail the day when the two shall unite. They will come together coyly at first like other lovers, but there will he the kiss and warm embrace, and at last they will marry, and there will he no more trouble between them than is generally found in well-governed fam ilies. These are two revelations—God the natural world and God rn tie spiritual world. We must have ethics for nations and for races, including a.l conditions, for physical health and so cial environment, civil lib.'ityand light, and the wholesale inh« ritauee of well regulated minds. Do you think the beautiful valley of the Amazon was put in this world to produce nothing but enormous plants and useless trees? I cannot believe it. You and 1 may not live to see it. but the day will come when the whole world will be Chris tianized, when eyery knee will bow, and every tongue confess. You will not see it here. I will not.see it !ere. But I shall see it there [pointing heaven ward.] DK. THOMAS OX AXOTI1KR CIIAXCE. Itev. II. W. Thomas, pastor of the Centeimary Methodist Church, the largest M. E. Church iu Chicago, re cently spoke thus of the atonement and of another chance: "It seems to me to be a sad abuse of the blessed doctrine of the atonement, if, iu it, any find the least excuse or right to do wrong, for God never can give such right or, if any think that in the sufferings of Christ" they can find any possible coverir.g-up, or hiding from themselves of their wro:ig-:loings, only as these- sufferings so reach their inward nature and move it to repent ance and restitution, and thus back in to righteousness. This idea of men cheating and stealing, and then hiding and living upon their ill-gotten gains this idea of men ravishing the innocent and murdering the defenseless, and th-n dying in triumph on the gallows the next momi nt this idea of slandering some neighbor and seeing his good mints go down in darkness, and you, the real villian, stand out as the very pink of fairness, and then think to hidj it all iu the atonement —I say this, and all such ideas have gone quite too far for even the morality, not to say the religion, of our day. God gives no man the right to sin and He forgives no sin only upon deep repentance and restitu tion when that i: possible. And I somehow feel that before we can ever fully forgive ourselves we must not on ly have the disposition to make all pos sible amends, but must make, all rea sonable ifiorts, and I somehow feel that .ere may be in the life to come some way by which \v may make the confessions or the restitutions that are so often impossible here. Munn.-VY ox MODEKX THEOLOGY. Bev. W. II. II. Murray, pastor of one of the largest churches iu Boston, said in a recent sermon: The form and structure of modern theology—which may to regarded as biblical interpretation in its widest sense—were defined and put together by men who were as ignorant as a babe in its cradle of the thousand and one evidences which are now freely admit ted by their successors as co'mpeteut testimony before that great tribunal of scholarly decis'on which sits without adjournment iu adjudication of these grave matters. Of Calvin I need not speak, save to allude to him as the best theologian and the poorest interpreter of the gospels that ever had an ambition to be a pope without a tia ra, or had the evil fortune to perpetu ate a partisanship—and this is its con demnation—that ripened a harvest of prejudice, passion and cruelty from the seeds of like nature, which, by his teach ings and his conduct, he had sown in his life. From these and from men of equally limited information—men e qually obstructed iu reaching the truth by their circumstances 'men equally prejudiced, wickedly ambitious and e qnally uninspired—the theologies of modern times have come. iroTiujes 29] N LIFE IX TIIE BLA CK HILLS. A correspondent of the St. Paul Dis patch writes as follows from the Black Hills: Since the 7th of April, 1877, up to this date there lias been in this camp and immediate vicinity, twenty-two'vi olent deaths, and of that number four were suicides and the remainder, eigh teen, were homicides.
