Now that the evidence is all in, howaver, and tho tiresome case draws to a closo, Mr, Beecien once more drops his strict evangelical habit, and starts off again upon the radical course. On Sun- day Inst he praachod upon *Scctorianism,” from which we make a fow extracts.

If the Mayor and Aldermen acted upon principle in disobeying the injunction, what has becomo of the principle? Has it been lost sight of in the fear of imprison. ment and fino ? If not, why do these full. grown legislators plead the baby act, and seek to escope tho responsibility of a willful and deliberate dofiance of the Judge issning tho injunction ?

Total, nine months..... .. |§319,084,740/5223,305,614 It will bosoen that up to the 1t of April there wns an excess of oxpenditures of over two millions of dollars; but during April and up to the 15th of May there was an in. crease in the receipts, both from customns and intornal revenue. The deficiency in the first nine montha of the year, as given, does not include the sum paid into tho sinking fund and for tho redemption of legal. tenders, which would have mado the deficiency abont six millions of dollars, Taking tho improved recolpts for April end BMay, it is now thought that tho aggregato réceipta for tho yoar will bo, customs, 150,000, 000 ; internal revonue, $112,000,000; total, $268,000,000. The estimated roceipts made A year ago wera $202,000,000. But the axpenditures for tho year have been reckloss. ly increased by the spendthrift approprin. tions moda by Congress. Tho Secratary also will carry ont his policy of poying into the sinking fund $31,000,000. The sum, bow- aver, will be taken from the amount of gold on hand, and while it will reduce the balanco of cash on hand, will not enter into the gen- eral account of rocoipts and expenditures, though it cortainly ought to doso. It is'an oxpenditare of money raised by taxation, and isin every senso an expendituro, ‘The Socrotary of tho Troasury has alrendy purchased over $7,000,000 6 per cent bonds for the sinking fund, and tho other $24,000,- 000 will be redoemed on the 11th of June, Ho has now on hand $71,000,000 in gold. Out of this he has to pay this $24,000,000, and $25,000,000 of July intorest, He bas, however, but 93,500,000 currency on hand, and may have to convert gold into curroncy to meet current expenditures, That tho year's expenditures excoed the year's income is the fault of Congress. Tho tinkering at the rovenue bills addod nothing to tho in. come of the Treasury. At the closo of 1875, tho amount of the outstanding 6 per cent bonds will be reduced to 81,007,000,000, and the 5 per cent bonds will amount to $015, 000,000, The annual charge for intarest will be §95,000,000. e ——— MORE OOLLEGE RUFIIANISN, That fresh.water collogo at Ann Arbor, Mich,, i8 again in difficulty, In point of {fact, it is very romarkable when that frosh. wator college is not in diffonlty, Whonover it is in difficulty, it is safo to presume that brutality and roffianism aro at tha bottom of the difficulty, as happens now, 'This time it appears that & circus came to Aun Arbor, As happons among rural students attonding a fresh-water colloge, a cirous is an event which forms n notabls opisods in the colloge rou- tino, and this event was so motablo that the students attonded it in & body.

The present flscal yoar of the City of Chi. cago began on the 1st of April, and two months of the yoar have nearly passod. The estimates of the various Departments have been presented, and the subject has beon be- fore tho Committes on Financo, but no action has beon bind as yet. The question at issuo is, Will the Common Council make approprintions amounting to 57,000,000, ns advised by the Boards, or §5,200,000, as advised by tha Comptroller ? There woro $1,800,000 of last yoar's ap- propriations unexponded at the beginning of the present flscal yoar. All this money is to bo reappropristed, and tha question now be- fore the Financo Committoe is, whother that Committeo will report an ordinance appropri- ating $7,000,000 in addition, or £5,200,000 in addition, ‘The question is one of great in. terest to tho peoplo of this city, It is a question whethor the rate of tax for city pur- poses shall be 18 or 24 mills, There is a dif- Youmight wipe every choreh from the faca of the sarth, orburn every Bibls, aud those great causes from which originally sprang religlous worship, churches, and the Bibls, those fundsmental causce still existing with primitive power would reproduca them, 4 4With regard to the scientific tondoncies of the nge, Mr. Bercmes eaid: ‘Tha sclontific inveatigations of our tima are golng to bosa tho grasshoppers arotothe trees of the Weet— they will cut off tie leaves of 10,000 archmological fn- quirles, and if these easential truths are developed moro perfactly, it the phifosophy of tho mind goeson, you may bs suro thata grest many customs, & great many eccleaisstical laws and orders will loss thelr pres tige and authority for belng divine, s grest many things that men have been taught to reverence and to hold a8 belng revealod of God will be thrown off, and tharewill be 8 substitution of new things for the old, a aubstitution of new organizations, new lberties, but there will bs nothing changod by any progress of soie onco that will touc the foundation, Mr. Bezcazn concluded with a sop o the Pope, which will undoubtedly reliove the mind of the Holy Father upon the subject of COongregationalism : All throngh the history of the world psopls have been divided mpon tho most trivial thinge, The whole Christian world at one time was divided about Easter Day.

Not atall; and if the Pope be orthodox on these, then I am » Papist, snd (01 sm orthodox on them, then iz the Pope a Protestant. Tho pointson which we differ are sec- ondary ; we agres in all the essential elements, All of which goes to show that Mr, Brron. zn is fealing bottor; that hois out of his cave of gloom, and no longer on a ragged edge, und that he has conidence in the jury, And why shouldn't he, when we find in the Star, the Brxowen organ, the following attempt to influenco the jury : With the closs of the case comes the question of compensation for the jury, If they sgree upon s var- A now car-starter, intended to lighten the labor of horses, has beon tested in this city, and found to work successfully.
