Tho cattlo market was sctive and 16@260 highor, with sales at $2.60@ 0.00, Sheep wore wosk and a shindo lower. Bome iualght into’ the views of the Houro of Represontatives, on tho Btato regulation of rail- roads, is givon by its voto on Ropresentativo Smith's * Grango resolution,” as it is called. This rosolution ropeats tho argumont of the MoCrary bill in favor of tho right of Congrese to regulate tho railroads, as agonts in the com- merca botwoen Btates, and declares that it is its duty to exercise thoso powors promptly. Tho bill was passod by a voto of 170 to 64, Our special dlspatches from Wisconsin this morning givean Intoresting view of thoe contest over tho Episcopal Blshopric In that State. The olection occurs in Milwaukoo to-morrow. The issuo, whioh has boon confused by reciless snd {ucohorent publications, is maid to bo betweon tho so-called ¢ Orthodox” and * Ritualistio" parties, Both bolong, however, to what is generally known a8 the * High Church,” and tho “Low Church” party plays no part in the contest, Dr. De Koven, of Racine, and Dr, Hoffman, of Philadelphia, are the loading con- testants, the former of tho * Ritualistic” and tho latter of the *Orthodox™ party. Thore is another issue furnishod by the residence of Dr. De Koven, and the non-residenco of Dr. Hoff- mon, fn Wisconsin, Bketches of theso gentle- moen and others mentioned na candidates are given, along with other gosaip pertinent snd of intorost. Thors was yesterdsy a wido-spread impreesion in Milwaukeo that Dr. Do Koven will withdraw, snd Dr. Hoftman will bo olected. A apecinl agont of the Land Ofico has investi- gated tho recent alloged frauds, by which im- monse tracts of land in Colorado were entered by porsons claiming undor the Pre-emption law. Tho affidavits and witnessos all testifiod to the ude, occupancy, cultivation, ete., of the laud by " tho clatmants, Tho spocial agont reports that tho claims are frandulent ; no such use, ocoupancy, or cultivation has ever talken ploce, and that tho claimants and witnesses are all unknown to the A bill was introduced in the Illinois State Sen- ste yesterday to regulate commorcial agencios. {t requires the companies to give bonds in £20,000 to tho Btate, and prescribes the manner of bringing action to rocover for falso, melicious, or unwarrantable reporta. — Senator Boutwell has proposed s bill to farbid the payment by Nafional Bauks of interest on deposits, and to requira them to keop 75 per sont of their reserves on hand, For a violation »f the first prohibition s penslty of four times the amount of jutorest is provided. Poth Housos of tho State Logislature have passed tho bill pormitting a suit against & rail- toad to be brought in any county through which the rosd runs, and thereby relieving the public from the necessity imposed by the oldlaw of golng to the courts in the county where the con- 134l offices werz situated. et — Tive Lake-Front question was before the Conn= il Committes on Publio Grounds yestordsy, nd ghey decided to roport against tho ealo of e 1aid to tho railroads. Representatives of the Illinoia Central and the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy Roads appeared before the Com- mittee, avd pressed their offer of £800,000. fhey promvsed to pay at once, and bogin' the erection of .\\lm new depot a8 goon as possible, buat the Comusittee would not be persuaded. The quuuon\ of usury laws came before the House of Reprosentatives at Springfield yester- day, in the consideration of tho Senato bill fixing the legal rate of interost at G per cont. Tho bill was rejected, but wae subsoquently reconsidered, and will be voted uptn again. Another bill reg- nlating interest was before the Houso in the sfternoon, but no action was had, ————— The warehouse decision haa already borne fruit in the Common Council. A resolution was presented last night, and referred to the Com- mittes on Gas-Light, asking for the opinion of the Corporation Council on ihe point whether the Common Counsel had not the power to regulate the price of gas. Alderman Fitzgerald, who prosonted the motion, has evi- dontly srgued in o straight line from the roposition that tho Stato has thy right to regu- iate warshouse charges, to the right of the City Leguslature to regulate the prico as well s the uality of gas. The, House of Representatives hws doclared shat it will not adjourn till it has reformed the surrenoy and eettled tho transportation ques- tion, Thin virtuous determination wiw ellcited by the motion of Ar. Dawes for an adjournment sine dis on the 16th ¢ May. After somo debate, in which it was urged on ooe aide that so speedy adjourn- ment would hasten the dispatch of buslnesn, and, on tho other, corrupt and complicate 1Y, the motion was referred to the Commitiee of Ways and Means. Thersupon & rosolution of the sbove purport was introduced by Ar, Cohurn s0d pagsed, A communication from the members of the Baoston Grange was presented yosterdsy to s committee of the National Grange appointed to conslder the important quentloi\ whether the membership of the Grange entltled it to recog- vition, The memorial recites that ita members wero tbe only porsons in Boatem who took nny interest in {he movement, or did suything to assiat National Doputy Abbott in his_ work in Massachusetts, Thoy plead thal the Grango was organized by Mr, Abbott, as tho representative of tho Natlonal Grange, and was accepted by the Biate Gyango, and pload that they are *' intercated" in agriculturo iu a way to bring them fully within the seope of the organis zatiob, y The Chicago produce markets wore rather loss sctive yosterdsy, and breadstuffs wero flrmer, Mess pork was dull aud 10¢ por brl lower, olos- ing at £14.36@14.40 cash, and 814.45@14.50 seller March, Lard was active and 16@200 por 100 1bs lowor, olosing st $8.85@8.,90 cash, and $9.00 seller March, DMoata were quiet and stondy at BI¢@5%¢c for whoulders, T3fo for short ribs, 736@7%¢c for short clear, and 9}(@103{c for aweet plckled hams, Dressed hoge were dull, and B¢ per 100 ibe lowor, at €6.50@0.65. Highwines wore active and etoady, at 860 per gallon, Flour was dull and unchangod, Wheat was lees active, And 10 higher, eloalng people living in the neighborhood of the land. Patonts having been fasuod for the land, ko ad- viges thnt they be all set aside as fraudulent. He anys tho sama kind of business has beon going on for several years in Colorado, and in tho interest of soma speculators in Donvor, Ho gravely roporta that, while fraud and perjury are vory claarly established, there was no forgory, because ‘‘ pro-omptors and witnesses can be ob- tained too cheap in Colorado to warrant tho crime of forgery.” Ho criminates the Recelver, but sequits the Reglater. In the House of Ropresentatives, on the 8d of February, during the debate on the Army Ap- propriation bill, Mr. Willisiz A. Wheeler, s Ro- publican member from the Stato of New York, and & member of the Committes on Appropria~ tions, made the following statement in answer o thoso who wanted larger appropriations : This bill sppropristes money enough, Mr. Chiatrman, to recrult 5,200 men, The theory of the Comuittcs on Appropriations {s that theso men shall go to recruit tho frontier regiments, If that will not suffico, then T will tell you whers thore are plenty of missing ram- rods, Go, air, to tho hiouses of prominent officials in Washington, and take out from there tlie enliated men ©of tho army Wwho aro Bervivg o3 privato servants, Put the army uniform on them, and send them to their regiments, where they belong, A Momber—That s what ehould be done. AIr, Wheeler—There ls where tho missing ramrods aro; and thero are plonty of them about this Capltal, These 5,200 men, and the men who aro employed hero a8 servants n this Capital in the houses of your ofi. cials and about the Departments, will give us all the men that are neoded for any sarvice now demanded of ho regular army, This statoment includes a direct accusation againet cortain * prominont officiala” at Wash- ington of & serious character. Certain gradesof army officers are entitled to, and actually draw in money, an allowance for eervants’ wages and rations. Now, if army officers at Washington draw wages and rations for servants, and at the expansion of the Natloual Dauk currenoy that will eatisfy all noods. Dr. Clark's plon i o8 follows: Fund tho groonbacks in bonds or porpotual annnul- Hon at tho best possible rates. When those bouds or annuitles are dopositod with the Comptrollor of the Ourronoy, in ruma of $100,000, lot that ofilcial dealiver to the dopos- itora 76 or B0 por cont of their par value in notos, payablo on demand in specio, not only at the countor of tho bouk that fsauos them, but sleo at some aganoy in tho nesrest of the flve groat commozelal contros,—New York, Boston, Cincin- natl, Ohicago, New Orloans, Whon a bank falls to redeom ita notes on demand, either at ils own countor or at that of its ngont, lot the dofaulted paper bo sont to tho Treasury and there ro- doomed with tho proceeds of the bonds depos- ited by that bauk, But scll only sufiiclont of tho bonds to pay oft the paper ro- fused redemption and to defray ncoossary costs.. Lot the bavk pursuo business and keop in ciroulation tho rest of ite paper, but forbid it to rolssua thoe dishonored notes, If the bonds over aell bolow 90 por cont, postpono tholr snle and the rodomption: of dofaultod paper for thirty daya, ‘Thia provision would, it is belioved, ob- viate the ovils of disnstrous panics, Bnnk-pnfinr would bo sure of flnal redemption, but mon would have thirty days in which to recover from tho fenrs that aro tho primo agents in financia) orisca. Tho delay would give many banks time to take all noceasary mossures for redemption, I tho bonds ever sell below 75 or 80 por cent (that is, below tho par value of tho notes issued on thelr security), let Government moke up tho diffaronce, %o that the note-holder may be porfoctly gafe. Dr. Clark closes his lotter by saying: *If there be any sound and sclentific principlos of finance, they have ag little chanco of an ‘appre- clative rocoption, in an American Congress, ot tho present time, a8 the ‘Principia’ of Newton would havo in an idiot aaylum, or the Bormon on the Mount in o don or thieves.” This warmth of langusge moy bo pardoned in & man who baog watchod the effect upon Congross of the incrod- ible nongense epoken and printed in favor of in- flation, and has read the recent spooch of an in- flationist Bonator who claimed theo enrnest atton- tion of his colleagues on tha ground that he Liad studied the subjoct of finance ** with great care during the whote of the last two weeks ™| MORE CANALS FOR SALE, A controversy has arison botweon tho Btates of Obio and Indiana of such a grave character that a resolution has beon offerod in the Obio Legislaturo appealing to the United States to interfore and compel the govereign State of In- dinos to fulfill hor contracta. The casus belli may be thus stated: In 1821 Congress author- ized tho Btato of Indiana to constructa canal same time employ men who are on the pay-roll of their regiments, the charge is ono of dishon- eaty. Mr. Wheolor states that the men are put in citizens' clothing. 1f thisbe true, nnd Lo subsoquontly stated that ho bad investigated tho facta for himseif, thon it would appear that the army officors have begun the prastice of the samo potty pilering said to prevail among high civilisns who have provided themsolves with landaulets out of the contingent funds ot their Dopartments, DR. 0. C. P, CLARK ON THE CUBRENCY. ‘We publish, in anothor part of this paper, o letter on tho national finances, addressed to the Oawego (N. Y.) Palladium by Dr. 0. C. P. Clark. 1t is an admirably able statement of the trouble and of its yomedy. The writer has studied the subject thoroughly, and has the power of telling clearly what he has learned and thought. He acks and anawers two questions: How shall we get back to epocie paymonts ? How shall we be- stow upon our paper cusrency the faculty of obe- dlence to the law of demand and supply? We can never roach spocie payments by waiting for the country to * grow up to the ourrency.” His tory knows no instance of dopreciated paper reaching par until positive measures were talen to redeem it in gold. We canmnot begin re- dveming greenbacks pow, becausg e have not enough spoclo on hand. - Tho Treasury holds less than 50,000,000 in hard momey to off- sot ©400,000,000 in dopreciated paper. Dr, Olark estimntes that wo slould neod $200,000,000 cash to insure permancnt redemption of such a masa of notes, Thoro is no feasiblo way of col- locting the oxtra $1560,000,000. But we con effect the desired alm,—to make the cash on hand equal to about half our obligutions,—by reducing tho volumo of those obligations. Whe groon- ‘baoks must bo withdrawn, and tholr place fillod with something clio. As long as thoy are in cire culation, the amount of - currency dopends npon tho will of Congress. Congross canrfob know exactly how much monoy the ooun- try noeds, No bodyof men could doclde tho question. Whila the power of deolsfon vosta fn Congross, its membory are oxposed to conatant tomptations from speoulators who wish iaflation or contraction in order to push their own schomes. All business ia thus rendored inse- oure. For busmneas is measursd by tho dollar, a8 distauco is monsured by the foot. A chauge in the amount of an {rredeomabla ocurrenvy ohangos tho valuoof cuch dollar inft. If the standard by whioh all busineas trauuactions are measured is liablo to arbitrary chavge from woolk to woak, buainess bocomes uncertain, The con- traction of greenbaocks, however, need not par- through the public lands from the Maumeo River at Toledo, in Ohio, and the navigable waters of tho Wabash River, and in 1827 Con- gress grantoed o strip of land five sections wide toaid in the counstruction of the canal. This grant was to Indians, and tho caual was to ro- main * forover a public highway,” Indiana sub- sequontly appesled to Obio to take tho job of conatruoting the 80 miles of canal in that State off hor hands, taking the proportion of the land- graat for that purpose, and afier long delays Ohio cousented, and became the propriotor of that end of the canal extending from Toledo to the Indiana Statelino. Ohio spent 28,001,000 of monoy. Terre Hauto was then the head of navi- gation on the Wabash River, and Indisns, after a sovere strugglo and ot the coat of an enor- aous debt, also completod hor end of the ditch, four feet deop and forty feet wide. Under this dobt tho Btate labored hopelessly for many yuars, and finally compromised with the bond- holdere, giving thom 50 per cent of their dubt in cash or new Londs, all of which have beon since paid, aud fhe canall Ohio, on the" other band, lonsed bher part of the camnl at s nomina yent on condition that it be kopt in repair. Owing to the introduaiion of railways, the lholders of the Indiana emiof tha canal have been unable to got enough out of it to keap the concorn in order, and therafore bave practicslly abandonod it. The Indiana part of tho canal has thus partly filled up—it nover was very deep—and Ohio fiuds henielf with & pieco of canal lesding nowhera. The lessec of the Oblio end baa reconily given up his lenne. Bome few years ago, Ohlo rotified In- diana that, when tho two' States united in the canal job, thero was & formal contract that each party was to maintain and keop in ropair its portion of the cumal. To this npotice Indiana mado rosponse that svch an agrcement and contrsct was pre- pared and submitted for ratification to the Leg- Iulntures of the two Statos ; that tho Legislature of Ohlo ratified the contract, but tbat therois no regord that the Legislature of Ingliana ever did. Now, the Legislaturo of Ohio proposes to ask the United States to compel Incliaua to re- pair tho highway., Indians has dispused of her interes?t in the cansl, and does not proposo to do ayy thing of the kind, Tais is tho inter-Btate controvexsy as it appears on the surfaco. Bub there lusomutbing vindorneath, The bondholders who took tbe Indlana canal in part paymont of their debt thoughtat the time thoy had made o good thuing of the bergain, but it haa proved a total loss. They hiave been for several years urging the Btute to take thie canal back, and give thom. State bouds for it, to the amount, porbaps, of two or three millions of dollars, The Btate, however, has rofused to doso, Now it has been discovered that & “water routo” from Toledo through Ohio, Indiona, snd Xlinoie to Alissouri would be just the thing to break down railrond monopoly, and therefore they pro- poso that Coogreas fhall construct such canal by su appropriation from tho National Trensury, of courso buying the prosent conal through Ohio snd Indiana. The old boudholders of Indinna are perfectly willing to contribute to break down the railroad monopoly by selling their abau- doned ditoh to the Unitod States, Congress may aleo purchase the Ohio canal at & reasonuble prico. Then, by enlarging and rocoustructing: them, and extending the cuual to tho Misslssippi River, a great inter-continen- tal, isothonual, anti-monopoly bighway con be furnished, to supplement the Jamos River & Kanawha onterprise, To got the mouey to do this, all that I8 neodnd i8 to printthat sraount of additional groonbiacks, The “war” hetweon Ohio and Indians, upon investigation, will turn out to be a mera cover of a job to eell _two worthloss and abandoried canals to the Gove ernmont. From June 80, 1865, tc June 80, 1878, Congress appropriated for public: works In the City of ‘Washington $16,620,000.. During that tima it appropriated 879,000 for; uredgng the cannl that runs through the city it thon appropriated §160,000 Tor the puschi o of the same canal, and e R R R R RREREREREEEEEES==—— The oxpenditure by Congross from the Tronsury for paving tho streots and nvenues wns $3,160,000, and tho District Government has pro- sontod a claim for $4,000,000 additional. Tho Distriet Government has expoundod soveral mill- iounof dollars raised by toxation, and les a bonded and floating debt the oxsol amount of which is lost 1n thoe miats of obsourity. THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT, Tho Bt. Louls Republican oxprosses rogret that thio bill ponding boforo the Logislature of this Stato, authorlzing the expenditure of £20,000 for the purchaso of tho Douglas Monumont, is likely to bo defeatod, 'Tho fact is, tho bill ought novor to have beon introducod. It is no part of tho business of Govornmont to orect monumonts to commemorato individuals, That busincss should bo left oxclusively to the voluntaryaction of tho people. Erocting ‘s monumont to any porson at, the public oxpense i taxing o mon ageinst Ll will to do homor to | the momory of some other man.

How would it read if thore woro inscribed on s monumont tho words, ** This monument to the) deceasod was oracted by the proceads of & tax levied upon the people after thoy had doclined to pay it volun- tarily "? And yot that Is tho logond that trath would require to bo inscribed upon every monument erected at the publio cost. Wo do not disparage the services or worits ‘of r. Douglas by objecting to tho passage of this bill. If ho were living, he would probably con- demn tho enforced contribution of money to eract & monumont over any deceased public man ; and, could ho have forescen that the Log- {slature of this Btato wounld be asked to lovy s tax to erect such » monument over his grave, no ono would have moro strnngl‘y roprobated such an unsoemly raid@ npon the public funds, or anch a questionable compliment to himsolf, Mr. Douglas, whon living, selectod a sito for his future dwelling in Cottage Grove, intending to mako it tho home of his family, aud deeded the land to his wife. Whon he died ho was buried on that sito, and his wife nogotinted a sale-of ‘the land, including his romains, to tho Stato of Illinois for the sum of 325,000, which sho received, A voluntary orgavization nnder- took to erect n monument over the grave, but afler constructing the foundation practically ceased work. How much monoy was oxpended onit wo do not knmow; but it is proposed now that the Btate shatl spproprinte $20.000 toboused in completing the monument, Tho State has nothing to do with monument-build- ing, and should not sot auch & precodent, Xf Il- linois is to begin buildiug monuments to bor Bonators, whero will tho business end? Where i8 the line to bo drawn? There wore sevoral eminent Sonators before Mr. Douglas, and of nis Buccessors there will be an ever-increasing line. 1t & monument bo erected to Doug- las in 1874, who can objeot fto one for some other decoasod Senntor in 18762 Who sball draw tho line which tells whon Senator is entitlod to & monument at the public expenso and when not ? Wo object to this bill, not be- cousg it is the Douglas monument, but because it {8 foralgn to the logitimato functions of the Government, Lot the Douglas monument alone.

Mrs. Elizaboth Oady Stanton, inher battle for the oqunlity of women, has made a chango of Daso. Finding overy avenue tothab squality gunrded. by tho political, social, and religlous Corberi of the Tyrant Man, she has now taken up her lindof march in an entirely new direction, and lis fssued o pronuncismento which is cal- culated to rally the women around her standard and cause o goneral ngitation inthe maseuhino camp. The first movement of the enemy which induced Mrs, Btanton . to take this stop was tho rejection of the Boston ladics who had been elocted to seata upon tho School Board ; and the second waa tho action of the Brooklyn Presbytery forbidding tho Rev. Saiah Bmiley from preaching iu any of their pulpits, Mrs. Stanton, before an- nouncing her purpose, disscets the sction of the Proabytery with & very keon knifo, it must be admitted. Bays Mra.

Mrs. Stanton, howover, promptly sup- plics the answer, as follows: ‘‘Simply becauso that recognizos her oquality,” and adds: No matfer If they can pray, exbiort, aud preach bet tor than tho elder, deacon, or minister, or whethor tho congregation sud the good fathor profer to bear them, i Ellor Porking and the Rava, French and Evans prefer & man bocsuso he fs s man, thatis enough, Having thus reconnoitered tho position of the enemy, Mre. Stanton launchos her fulmmation that it {8 boneath the dignity of any true woniau 1o enter & chuvch or to be governed by a Pres- bytery that prohibits & woman like tho Reov.

OBITUARY. 3 DAVID FRIEDRICK BTRAUSS. In a life liko that of Strauss, the Gorman - theologian, or rather anti-theologian, the casen- tlal facts aro the idens with which tho man made his mark on the time. Probsbly no modern writor has exercisod so disturbing an influence on oucient faiths and the provalent the- ology as Sirouss, tho *Stormer of Zion,"” who threw down his gauutlet to all or- thodox chomplons in his *TLife of Jesus," published forty years sago, whon ko was but 27 years of age. Although at tho time a leccurer fn o thoological seminary—that at Tu- bingen—his book was a botd and startling attack on the divinity of the central tigure of Christian- ity. Hitherto Streuss had‘been unknown out~ sido of a small circlo at tho University, but his book brought him inatautancous fame. It alsa brought him as quickly n dismissal from his post in the ‘Theological Seminary, . The controversial litoraturo which lhas accumulated round the Loben Jesu hos been contributed by the thinkers of avory nation and the theologians of overy sect, and hias made the views of tho great infidel familine to all, His book was written in harmony with the Hogelian philosophy, and was designod ouly for tho learned. Its aim is illus- trated by the remsrk of Neander, who was asked by the Ministry of Public Worship in Derlin whother thoy anght to supprées it. Neandor re- plied that it left no basis for historical Christian- ity, but ought tu b met und conquered, 1 16 were vincible, only in tho forum of legitimate discns- sion, Tho Lebon Jesu gave Christianity a mytholog- ical instead of an historical basis, resolved the Gospols into popular legends, and the miracles into significaut poetry. The historic Ohrist was analyzed into & myth, and the'canonical Gupols’ wara sclaations and arrangements from the mass of legendary love which cluatered about tho central fiction, Tho dogmas of tho New Teata- ‘ment wero true, but tho bistory was false. A shower of replios followed the appear- anca of this romarkable book,and in orderto gain leioure in which to roply to lus assailants, Strauss resigned the position he had taken in the Lyceum at Ludwigsburg, bis native town, afterlenving Tubingen, In 1837 he publishod his Btreitechriften against his opponent, and in 1838 o more conciliatory exposition of his viows was given in his Zwel Frodlicho Blatter. Tn 1839 ho was appoiuted Professor of Dog- matics and Church History in the Uni- vorsity of Zurich, but public opinion in that orthodox town could not stomach the appointment, and its clamor compelled him to rosign and ovorthrow the Government that appointad him. His sccond grent work, *Die Christliche Glaubenslehre,” which appoared in 1841, was s review of Christian dogma in its his- torical development and its strugglo with mod- ern selence. It was a sequel to the purely critienl {nvestigation made by the firat work of the erigin of Christinpity. Tollowing the appoaranco of this work was a long poriod of silenco on thoological topics, which, with tho exception of somo fleeting contributions to the religious polemics of the day, lasted until the sppearanco of his now * Lifo of Jesus,” in 1864, In this in- torval-he was a candidate for tho Gorman Rovo- lutionary Parliament of 1848, but the clerical influence was too much for him. His native place sont bim to the Wurtemberg Diot, but, with a singular and unexpected inconeist- ency, ho tooka couservative position in that Dbody, ahd so displensed his coustituonts that they forced him to resign. ‘Fhis unoxpected consorvatism roappears in bie Iatest worls, ¢ Tho Ol and the Now Fuith,” when, in treating of the rogulation of lite, ho givos his viows on o number of social aud po- litieal questions, Ko docs not bolieve in the sncred indissolubility of marringe, nor in tho doctrino that the lon will lie down’ with the lamb in anago of universal peaco. Univeraal suffrage is an absurdity, and tho abolition of cap- ital punishment would bo su inssne sct. The ‘Poryism of these opinions iain striking coutrastto tho bold charactor of his religious utterances, He was tho opposite of Rousscau in overy meontal quality, but both wero remarkable for an intolloctual contrariety, for, while Btrauss was radicnl in religion aud conservative iu politics, Toussonu was tho most revolutionary political thinlcor of his day, and yet in religion reaction- ary almost to bigotry. A life of the Swabian poet Schubart; n quasl- autoblographical worls, Christian Marlklin ;a lifo of the Reformer, Ulrich vou Hatten ; a collection of Hutten's dinlogues, and some minor writings, wera the only outward fruita of tho quarter of a century which elapsed between his Christliche Glaubeuslohre and the now life of Jeaus, which appoared in 1864, This work retaing the mythi- cal Dhypothesis of the first work, but applies it differently, and in & more popular stylo, as tho sub-title, “Wri¢ ten for tho Qerman Peoplo,” would indl- cato, Its speclal features were & long critical statomont of the labors of othors in the same fleld down to the present day, and an attempt to coustruct & lifa out of sll the positive results that have boon galned. Btrouss’ last work appearod in 1873, aud was entitled, * Dlo Altound Der Nouo Glaube” (The 01d and the Now Faith), e colls it a confes- slon, but it is the confesalon not of aun indi- vidual, but of & class, Ha speaks for those who have found the nocepted faith insufilolont, aud cannot reconmoile modern oulturs aud the nuclegt faith, He troats lis subject by ssking aud anawering four questions, Are we stil Christlaus ? ave we nny roligion ? Iow do wo viow tho world ? and How aro wo to rogu- Iato our lven ? In nnewor to the firat question, ho rojecta all the atticles of the Christian fuith, Tho Trinity, Berlpturo, Inspiration, Cliniat, thoe Resurrcotion § oll tho essontial poluts of tho creod are dis- minsed 88 absurdities, borrowed from Oriontal roliglons, and iucredible by thoso whose intelli- gonco hias boon atrovgthonod by s condid and bealthy culturo. © 4Tf we must,” hosays, * audwor like upright, honest men, wo must confess that wo are not Christians.” In the socond placo, he comon to tho conclusion that we have no religion. Ie- ligion, ko holds, with the Materislists, had its origin in man's ignorance of Natura. - * God and Nature aro but two expressions of tho same idon,” Modern culture has nbollshed God. ‘With anothor colebrated Gorman Free-thinker, Btrausa would say, *Thorois no room in the univorse for God."” . As to tho ‘third question, Strauas docs not ro- gard the world as the work of an intelligent porgonal boing. He accopts no othor sources of iInformation s to tho origin or destiny of things than the diacovorlos and theories of geologists, botaniats, chemists, and physiclats, Concernlng tho rogulation of our Hves, ho follows Kant, and makes the rule of life to bo to strive so to aot that one's oxamplo may be s universal rule for mankind, Tho ton commandments of Mosos are well enough, but aro only the resulty of oxperionce, In tho placoe of Lho systom which be sweops away by the foregoing doc- trines, Btrauss offora for the consolation of mankind pootry and music. In the old faith, ‘boliovera looked to a Redeomer, restéd upon the protecting arm of Providence, hoped for oternal happiness as an offact to presont misory.

John Johnson took advan- tage of his carolessness by putting a bullet through tho spot on his forehend which a moment befors sho had marked with s kins, Sho was what they call in’ New England a ‘8pry " woman,~—moro so than Mrs. Jeromish Bhopard, of Monona County, who tried tho samo maneuvre and blundered, Mrs., Shepard sab down on her husband’s lap, and soothed bim in- toa favorablo condition of trustfulnoss, Tho wmistake sha made was in not firlug quicker, for Bhiepard dodged, and the bullet only scraped tho sido of his hoad. Mrs. Bhepard is doscribed as * buxom, well-developed, with alarge amount of vitality,” which lntter charactcristic might ox- plain hor desire to rob her husband of bis. After reading theso two coses, one cunnot learn, without suspicion of design, that Mre. J. E.

Blo bid for it with real estate, and hoped thereby to rotain it, but tho wicked Logislature hag beon guilty of that unusnal act,—a bargain,— and things look bad for Denver. In vain do the newspapors of that city urge the suporior ad- vantages of social culture that Denver holds out to tho untutored politician ; in vain do they insist that thocity hasbeen swindled. The Torrito- rial Capital must go to Pueblo, and the unlotterod legislator seck rofinoment in less oultivated circles. The condition upon which this propo- sition provailed was tho appropristion by the Territorial Logialsture of £30,000, to be divided among Boulder University, Golden School of Miues, and Fort Collins University.

All these tho averago citizon would cheorfully oxchango for the chanco of drawing $100 every two months, it only for tho novelty of tho thing.
