MORNING APPEAL. SODAY MAY 25 IS SUNDAY READING. by the strength and skill of some of his de bates with Uuv. Nathaniel Ilioe of Kentucky. The Campbellite doctrines are very nearly allied to those of the l.'niversalists. Rice was an old sclifol Presbyterian. Thirty years ago these twain had it hot and heavy. They were both strong men, both sincere in their profes sions and both backed by a powerful follow ing. Rice thundered forth the doctrines of his church, clinching his arguments with the pitiless logic of the inexorable Calvin. Camp bell, not less vehement, and u ii h the stout reasoning and iinilinchiug tenacity of a true Scot, held his own with great power. They continued their partisans. Presbyterians and Cainpbellites went to these joint discussions to applaud and sustain their champions, nut to lie converted. These ways of the faithful are also the ways of the world. We are glad to note that Secretary Key is moved to this substantial recognition of the sturdy old Christian's daughter. We should be equally pleased if a daughter of his valorous opponent were to receive a like recognition. .MR. PINNEY IN TROUBLE. A dispatch tlated puis us in possession The very abundance of ideas, considerations and subjects related to religion and theology contained in the Bible is apt to bring on a confusion of thoughts and a poverty of action. Themes are fatally abundant. These dissi pate directness and discourage cogency. The modest flower of simplicity is lost amid a wild luxuriance and a vast variety of foliage. But one may cull a bud or blossom at random, and taking it apart ponder over the cunning of its structure and the beauties of its form and col oring. "Consider ye the lillies of the field. " We catch a dim glimpse of the perplexities which are thurst upon the good man w hose chosen labors confront him w ith the weekly "stent" of two written or studied sermons. His burden is almost as wearisome and hard to bear as that of the press-writer w hose tread mill never rests at any leisure-inviting place during the six days wherein he is commanded to labor and do all his work. This injunction brings as to a fruitful text. It is found in the last Chapter of the Acts of the Presbyte rians, and reads as follows : Chicago, May 'St. In the Presbyterian As sembly' this iiiornirft; there was a long per , , ..11 - .1 . i sonai ana excite, i discussion on me sran.mig , if Hi.rjlls A- Co f..r SPi.fOd '.-, dated of church members who own stock in a paper j Aw, ,- ls--( ;U)ll j((1.a.ui iimlst.s 1UUVV ,,f w flic ii is punnsiieu on ."Minnay. inu vmiif jv subject or violation ot ttie rourtli t ommaiitt ment came into the debate, and the propriety of church members owning gas stock, . street railway stock, railroad stock or mining stock was questioned. The case in dispute was oc casioned by the report of the Committee on Rills and Overtures, that the synod of Eric might discipline a church in Eric Presbytery which persisted in retaining for its pastor a man who was part proprietor of a Pittsburg pajer which published a Sunday edition. Fi nally tile reuort was adopted by nearly a unan imous vote. There are some places from which the world does not move. It seems not to have stirred apast the abiding-places of religious bigotry out into the purer air of toleration, philosophy and a just conformity to the uses of this world. If a churchman's crops grow through the Sundays of the summer-tide ; if his ship sails into harbor on the Sabbath-day; if his business ventures ripen on the first day of the week, shall he not reap the profits of these things and still be worthy to sit in the seats of the chosen? As to Sunday papers, these are as much more conformable to the Fourth Commandment than papers which ore published on Monday, as the work of type setting on Saturday is preferable to such work done on the so-called Christian Sabbath. The Mousing Ai'I-f.ai, makes its appearance on Sunday hence these discursive preachments. We of the editorial bureau and they of the composing-stick do the work which brings forth this sheet, on Saturday. Our w icked ness (which we confess with contrition) con sists in permitting the carrier (who is still in the freshness of his youth and has ample time to outgrow his sin), to deliver the same in the 'morning ere yet the Sabbath bells have been rung. There are, we think, as many as live clergymen who are fellow-sinners with us - if the receiver is as bad as the .But for the fact that our carrier delivers to them, on the morning of the Sabbath day, this secular print, they would be without the matutinal stimulation of its tonic newsiness. If we sin we sin in company w ith some truly religious men and women. Will these pray for the carrier that his early morning sins be washed away and forgiven t It is easy to say that these Presbyterians in Synod assembled strained at a gnat. Perhaps we think they did ; perhaps on the contrary we are agitated with self-accusations by their denunciation of what they deem the sin of Sabbath-breaking bv one of their communicants. At any rate we think they struggle to be consistent. Sun day, observed as a day to be kept holy, ad mits of no worldly pursuits. The mind must be held level to the things of another and a different world. In the home beyond the skies imagined by John Calvin and contem plated by his follow ers there are no riotous frivolities ; no careless laughter ; no thought less mirth. To get there this body of sin must be rnoftitied. Our earthly propensities must be restrained. There are minds, w hich, in the contemplation of a Calvanistic Heaven feel in their sinful hearts that they would rather, if they might have their w icked choice, stay here than go there. These do not relish the Puritanical idea. Possibly there are mo ments when they regard Hell with less appre hension than they look upon Mr. Calvin's iron clad Heaven. Of such are they who w ill scoff at this fulmination of the Chicago Synod. We of the Mousing ArrEAi., however, are willing to admit the consistency of the action taken by that body. We do not see, indeed, how they could consistently do otherwise. Christ said that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath ; and he did a great many things which were contrary to the church precepts of his day ; but he had never been instructed in Calvinism and had but light relations to all Synods. . . .Quite ap ropos to this subject is the following tele graphic statement : Washington, May So. The Cabinet has de cided to appoint Mrs. Thompson, daughter of the late Rev. Alexander Campbell, Postmis tress at Louisville, Kentucky. The Rev. Alexander Campbell was the fa ther of the so-called sect of Christians or Canipbellites which once flourished so vigor ously in the West. He distinguished himself San Francisco, May 'S f the following inter esting facts concerning the romantic Pniiiey : Oeorge M. Pinney was at rested this after noon on two warrants sworn out, one by W . I!. Carr and the other by Dennis Jordan. Carr charges Pinney with having forged and uttered a Navv Paymaster's certificate in favor i certificate drawn in his favor for s-'.-17o -to to So -17o 40 by placing a figure J in-fore the ligure and of passing the certifi cate to the Savings and Loan Society as genu ine, it is claimed that on the Carr certificate Pinney realized .SO per cent of us face at the Ciav-Street Savings I tank, and the same per centage at the same bank on ihe .Ionian cer tificate. In the Police Court this afternoon Pinney's counsel asked tor an immediate ex amination, which the Court declined f grant, on the ground that witnesses could not be at once procured. His bail was fixed at sio.ooo in the case of the Carr certificate and "'.". Hlil in the Jordan case. Subsequently, after ar gument by counsel, it was by agreement re duced to s.",( K M l and SiS.00!, respectively. Jonathan Kntrcdge, who was present, agreed to become one of t he bondsmen, and at last accounts Pinney, under escort of a policeman, was hunting for another. The prosecuting attorney stales that to-morrow he will tiie against Pinney eighty charges of forgery and one for embezzlement ofs."S. 000 of funds of the Mahogany Mining Compauy. of which Pinnev was formerly manager'. says t nai 1 unify had secured another bond-man in the person of Mr. J. W. Lruniagiiii, and been released. It is evident that the gifted Levanter is going to be treated to all the excitement he has sought with so much conspicuous eagerness. Indeed, it begins to look as if he would visit Point San Quentin in the course of his joiir neyings. What would become of his organ during his prolonged absence from the busier scenes ami cares of this life we cannot guess. Possibly he will be the means, under Provi dence, the jury system and the criminal prac tice act, of causing his journalistic associates to share with him his travels and sequestra tions.

A eoinuiuuieatiou from Hartford, Conn, dated May 1, hist., states as follows: In view of the destitution prevailing anionic the laboring people of this city, less than one third being employed, a large delegation waited on Mayor Sprague to-day and de manded employment. The Mayor briefly stated that, while the city authorities could not employ men for the sole purpose of giv ing them work, w orkmen w ould lie taken to prevent actual suffering of the men or their families. He positively refused to call a special meiting of the City Council, and urged, as a reason why the authorities should not be called upon to furnish employment, that it would have the effect of attracting un employed men from all sections, and would rum the Labor market for resident laborers. The delegation was very quiet and orderly af ter the disappointment occasioned by the re-1'iv. A Stitch in Time! Don't Throw Away Your Old Clothes !

I!. Imniel ACo. closed its doors yesterday morning for want of funds. The news spread rapidly, and was the general theme of conversation throughout the day.

This arrange Tile s.lav evening. icre nowever. esterdav niornino the bank opened as usual, but after a hasty consultation with the friends of the concern, it was deemed w isest to close it. Mr. Imniel thereupon made an assignment to Messrs. II. Uishop, Dr. M. K. Chamblin and M. 15. I'.art lett, who now have charge of affairs. These gentlemen inform us that so far as they have gone they find matters here all straight, with sufficient assets to more than satisfy the creditors. The liabilities ate given at OUO, and their assets al 44.N M). These are not, of course, the exact figures, but thev are said by the committee to he approximately correct. there may be something in the nature of the stock awo-snt below not included in the above estimate, but the reasonable inference is that the brokers have taken care of themselves. Mr. Immei has been a heavy purchaser of stocks for other people, and it was through his efforts to tide his customers over the kite stock panic that he became personally embarrassed. In other words, he was too indulgent for his own good. He is an honor able, straightforward man, and has the sincere sympathy of i: large circle of friends in his difficulties. No man in the couiniunitv be lieves he has misappropriated a single dollar of the bank's money. The suspension was simply due to unforeseen obstacles of a busi ness nature which could not be averted. The accounts of depositors are generally small, but quite, numerous. The largest depositor, as shown by the books, was Dr. Chainhlin, and the next largest Hishop it Carpenter. Mr. Jminel being a cautions man made but very few bad accounts. The assets of the hank are therefore mainly available. Indeed, the Committee express the opinion that the collec tion will be ample to liquidate all claims, and possibly leave a handsome sum to Mr. Iinmel's credit. It will take some time, however, to close up the accounts and strike the balance We most sincerely hope, and in this we will he joined by the entire community, that Mr. Imniel, after getting his affairs fully settled and arranged, will have an overplus sufficient ly large to enable him to again resume busi ness. Eureka Sentinel, Mav Mt. f the laboring j from the Cai'it richest Mate ot this I uion. J here is some thing very wrong in all this. There is a screw loose somewhere. There should be no cessa tion of public endeavor toward the alleviation of this condition of affairs. Congress should give its first attention to the devising of meas ures of relief. Either these hard problems must soon successfully bo solved or there will appear good reasons for believing this Repub lic of ours not the unalloyed boon we have all been taught to regard it. Surely this seems a "cankering peace. W hat is called states manship will reveal itself to be the high sounding humbug we believe it to be, if legis lation fails to find some measures of relief. THE SAX FRANCISCO .MINT. In justice to Mr. La( hange we reproduce the following : Washington. May Si.- Whatever may be the real facts in regard to the present manage ment of the San Francisco Mint, there is no basis for the Washington dispatches dailv reiterated in one of the San Francisco journals to the effect that charges ot official misconduct have been made to the President or Secretary of the Treasury against Superintendent La grange. On the contrary, the Mint is officially reported thus far in a very efficient condition, and no complaint from depositors has been made. There has been some dis satisfaction expressed about the Mint's figures in politics, and reports under this head have l eached the department from various quarters, w hich are likely to have more influence with this Administration than the last, and lead to some changes eventually. One by one the accusations preferred by the Chronicle's libel-editor evaporate. Uen. La(J range will be entirely exonerated from all charges against him. CAI.'SOX CITY.
