A stone light-house on # point of land ‘was thrown down, and this seems to have been ‘the extent of the damage. Heavy rains and high winds prevailed in the Island of Dominica from the 1sth to the 19th of August, with the ‘result of Hooding the whole island. The crops. have rotted and are utterly worthless, and the inhabitantsare threat- ened with famine. < 1 Tae Albanians had a ‘slight. skirmish yes- terday with the:Turklsh troops -near. Dulelgno. Tbe former temporarily abandoned their en- trenchments, which were immediately occupied by the Turke,and in'an unsuccessful endeavor to regain them some of the Albanians were wounded. Mus. Jons McCantiry, of San Francisco, refused to live with her husband for reasons best known to hereelf. John did not like his wifé’s course, sought ber out, and shot ber dead. He then tried to put-an erid to his own worthless life, but did not succeed: .He is dan- gerously wounded.

Ivan Woesteyne, a writer on the ‘Paris Gaulois, published an article accusing Col. Yung, of the French War Office, with having be- trayed military secrets’ and the substance of military doouments to the German Government. Yung nas sucd Woesteyne for libel, and the lat- jtor nas entered a pica of justification, and has ‘summoned Gen. Farre, the present Minister of War, Gen.

Gallient, started up theRiver Niger, for the purpose of exploring the country.. On tho 11th of May the expedition was attacked near the Village of Dis,in the Bar- ‘bary country, by a native force numbering 1,009 and the Frénch were obliged to retire with the loss of their baggage, and fourteen men killed and eleven wounded. .‘The expedition has béen refitted, and will soon start by a new route.

The Queen of Spain pre- sonted her Royal spouse with a daughter, and the Spanish people, wayhap, with their future, Queen. The ‘King, and Spuntards generally, would have béen much. better pleased if tha Royal infant was a boy, but they will probably not be so dissatisfied with their Queen as are the Dutch with theirs, The Spanish Queen and her baby are doing well. : Because President Hayes vetoed what wascalled the Anti-Chinese or Fifteen-Passenger bill it is threatened by Democrats and Kearney- ites that he will receive a Injewarm reception av San’ Francisoo, The position of Grand Marshal was tendered W.

Al- though the welcome will not approach the one given Gen, Grant, yet the Palace Hotel and court-yard will be grandly illuminated, and the decorations will’ be all that French taste and Ambrican gold ean produce. . ee THERE -are now elght persons in jail at "| Leadville on the chargo: of murder, aud there “were not less than threo murders conimitted in that city last week. Some of the good people of the'town are very much. dissatisfied, not to say disgusted, with the law's delay, and talk about applying Judge Lynch's law in the case of the prisoners. “The . police torce of the place are not expected to interfere, for the reason that one Bakewell, who shot and killed two policemen some months ago, has not yet been punished.

Perbapshe remembora too well the Northern, doughfaces who preached treason previous to ‘the War, but who, when the onflict came, shirked the responsibilities, Presner De Freycinet hascalled a meet- ing of the French Cabinet to discuss and decide on the course to be pursued with regard to re- ligfous controversies. President Grévy is ex- Pected to preside at the moeting, which prom- ises to be unusually stormy and acrimonious. A meeting of Radical members of the Chamber of Députies has also been called to discuss. De Froycinet’s attitude, ang a determined and vig- orous onslaught will be made on him for advo- cating a policy of compromise ‘and leniency ‘towards the religious bodies. The next: session of the French Chambers will probably be as lively agany i jory_of that stormy As- sembly. Coy. Georce R. Davis was renominated for Congress by the West Side Republicans .yes- terday on the frst ballot, as was expected from the result of the Friday evening primarics. Col. Davis got tho! solid delegutions of the Seventh; Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Wards, 48 votes in all, white his competitor, Mr. Mason, réccived 22 votes,—those of the Tenth, ‘Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Ward delegations. Cot. Davis delivered a ‘brief speech of thanks, in which. he promised to make a very active canvass, and expressed the utmost confidence in his’ reflection. Mr. E. A.

It ig probable that the widows and next of kin of the dead miners will bring action for damages under the new Employers’ Liability act, and the trial will show where the blame properly be- longs, and will result, it is to be earnestly hoped, in mulcting the. owners in heavy dam- ages. If such be the case, mino accidents will become less frequent, and the “hell-holes” will contain fewer widows and orphans: “ ‘Wues elections in Spain do not result as the authorittes wish them to result the voters are made to feel tho displeasure of the powers that be. The elections in the Basque Provinces, lying along the Biscayan const, resulted in the return of Carlists and Democratic Republicans almost without exception. The rejection of the Government candidates was all but unanimous. ‘The Spanish Ministers attribute the Carlist suc- Cesses to the machinations of the Roman Catho- licgiests, and the reverend gentlemen will bo lodRed after for the future, and any display of Gisloyaity will be severely punished. As to tho Republicans of the Provinces, they aro:not nu- merous cnough to alarm the Government, and no action will be taken as far as they are con- cerned. : “Tyre naval demonstration has been again.

The campaign has been one of the hottest in the history of the State. The Repub- licans hada Fusion majority of 1,000 to over come, but the masterly management of Senator Blaine, the. blundéring of the Democrats, and the excellence of the Republican State and Con- gressional tickets will result in a majority. for the Republicans of from 8,000 to 1,000.

A wheeting of the Cook County Central Committee representing the - Republican party has been called for next Tuesday at the Grand Pacific Hotel. ‘The purpose of this meeting. is to appoint a day for the County Convention, and it is understood that the primaries will -be fixed for Saturday, Oct. 2, and the Convention for the'following ‘Monday. These dates are early. enough; if they bechanged at all, it will be better to make them later than earlier. A short cam- paign isin every way desirable for a local election. - Itismuch morélikely than is along | campaign to attract and hold the attention of the people and bring outa full vote. lt is highly desirable, however, that both parties shall have ample notice for the holding of the primaries, in: order that they may thoroughly canvass their available material and defeat any combinations and manipula-. tions which are designed’ to place weak candidates in nomination. The offices to be filled in Cook County year are as follows: ie Sheriff, < Coroner, . Bote. Cee oe _ State’s-Attorney, cae pee Clerk of. the Circuit Court, Recorder. ~ : F a this Five County Commisstonets, : ‘Three State Senators (the even districts), ‘Twenty-one members of the Legislature. - ‘There are a host of candidates for all these Positions. In addition to the three State Sena- tors to be chosen in the even-numbered dis- tricts, it is just possible, but not probable, that, ;Special election may be ealled in the Fifth District, represented by W. T. Johnson, who is now County Treasurer;: but it is more likely that Mr. Johnson’s tenure of thé State Senatorship will be left for the Senate to the County Board are in the places now held by Commissioners Boese, Burling, Spofford, Meyer, and Wheeler. Four of these will be filled ‘by the vote of. the city:as_a whole, but two will be conceded to the West Side and two to the North Side, to correspond to the residence of the ‘outgoing Commissioners; | the’ fifth Commissioner must be taken from HydePark. - .,. As we have said, the number of candidates for the various positions is simply appalling. On the’ Republican side this scramble for nomination arises’ from the strong and gen- eral conviction that..the Republican county ticket.will be elected this fall, On the Dem- ocratic side the scramble‘ is due mainly to the fact that Democrats regard politics chief- ly as a vehicle to officeholding; but it has been encouraged this year by the recollection t Tilden ‘received a majority of votes in le county,four years.ago. . There is no rea- sonable doubt that the ‘Cook County-vote on the Presidential ticket this year will be com- pletely reversed; in ‘fact, it is probable ty- wilk be- three or ‘tour . times as large. as -Tilden’s majority ‘was in 1876. Itis not necessary to: repeat at this time the reasons that have led most observ- ing persons to this conviction. But it. does not necessarily follow that the local ticket ‘will be elected to correspond with tne senti- ment: of the county on National affairs. It will be rememibéred: that four yéa¥s agd‘some of the successful candidates for the local of- fices were Republicans and others were Dem- ocrats, The only'surety of success for the Republican local ticket lies in the nomina- tion of men who shall ‘universally be admit- ted to be of equal ability and fitness with their opponents, if not a¢tually superior. The offices of greatest importance to the people are those which usually attract the smallest share of public attention.” We refer particularly to the County Commissioners and members of the Legislature. The Re- publicans of Cook County succeeded, when they were once fairly aroused on the subject, in working a pretty thorough reform in the County Board. . That institution has been free from’ scandal, and «general appear- ances indicate an honest and tolerably economical administration of county affairs, ~But-eternal vigilance is the price of honesty and capability in the County Board, and it is only through a representative convention of the best classes that a nomination of good men for Commissioners can be assured. The same is largely true of the nominations for the Legislature. It is-a suspicious cireum- stance that a large numberof obscure men, and, in some instances, characterless men, are seeking nominations for, the Legislature from,both parties. The Democratic party seems to be more seriously threatened in this regard than the Republican party. The saloonkeepers of the South Division seem to have discovered in their business some mys- terious qualification for making State laws. of the State, and particularly those affecting Chicago and other large cities, that can only be worked out through the Legislature, and perhaps the chief consideration of the county election should be to secure the services of capable and honest men in thaf body. The Party that shall estape the bummers and bring forward the best legislative material will have a decided advantage over its com- petitor, a ei te _ _& TIRESOME SOUTHERN MENACE, ‘The Lynchburg (Va.) Advance, a paper of considerabie influence inthe South, and of course Democratic, is not very hopeful in its Already foresees that the people of the North are bound to “ persist in the support of Rad- icalism and elect Garfield.” While crediting the Advance with very good sense and judg- Ment in its view ‘of the situation, we are at the same time disposed to;credit it with very poor sense and.bad judgment in its sugges- tion of a remedy which, to use a homely old ‘saw, is biting the nosé off to spite, the face, The remedy is the old one in a new form, secession; but nota political secesston, for the South has tried that once to its heart’s content, It advocates commercial secession, in other words, non-intercourse In trade. To accomplish this, it recommends “fhe en- couragement and the establishment of all kinds of manufacturing {n- the South, direct. trade with foreign - nations from every Southern port, the building of Southern. ships and ‘the encourage ment of Southern mining.” And then, in the true Southern vein, it adds: “The land is wide enough for both.. We pay, and will con- tinue to pay, more than our full share of the revenue, but we must be equal or separate.” more than once. “It is very hard to get over official figures, and .these figures show that the customs duties paid by the thirteen southernmost States for the year ending June 30, 1879, were’ $2,145,505, while the amount pald by all the States was $137,250,018,. The total receipts of internal. revenue In the Unitea States for the year ending June 30, 1880, were $116,815,221, 6f ‘which the South contributed $20,352,369, and 95 per cent of the latteramount was from spirits and tobacco. Unquestionably, the South would have paid “More revenue, and the claim of the Advance Would have been tiearer to the truth, if the Practice of illicit ‘distillation, the’ refusal to pay-- revenue,’ and the ‘refusal to help - prosecuté “moonshiners were "not common in alniost every patt-of that:section. Still ff the election of Garfield is going to awakert the South to the necessity of” doing something, is going:to. stimulate Southern laziness into activity, and will help to develop Southern manufactures, mining, and trade, we do not exactly see how the Advance can regard it in the lightof'acalamity. Wehave little faith, however, that Mfr. Garfield’s elec- tion will have any such effectupon the South, and, vice veraa, there is every reason to sup- pose that, the election of Hancock will so de- range the éxisting conditions of trade and commerce that North and South both will be plunged into commercial disaster. If the Southern condition is to be improved, the re-. sponsibility rests with the South, irrespect- ive of ‘the election of any man, and the only connection .it has. with the election of Mr. Garfield is that such a@ result would render it possible, if they have the disposi- tion to make the effort, while the election of Hancock will put a bar to progress in any direction. Non-intercourse in trade is the verlest nonsensé, {fthe South wants to de- velop its resources and improve its condition, it must go to work. It must substitute per- sonal activity for personal ldziness. It must quit loafing and bulldozing and go to plow- ing and hammering, It must call upon the North for help and capital, and to make its call successful it must cultivate amicable re- lations with the North and treat Northern men With a spirit of fairness and courtesy. It-has already practiced political and social non-Intercourse with the .Nerth for years, ‘and has only damaged itself. it now it wants to complete the work of self-destruction it has. only to add non-intercourse in trade. The North stands ready with its energy, its enterprise, its industrial improvements, and its capital to help the South at any time if is ready to be helped, and it can signify such willingness by extending a hand of courtesy across the border and agreeing to cease shooting, bull- dozing, .and ostracizing those who are ready to help them, because they don’t happen to -share the same political views. Non-inter course in trade is not what the South wants 80 much as intercourse with the North, and asitcan best secure that intercourse with Gen. Garfield ng President, it should pray for a Republican triumph, and then, kicking out the Bourbon demagogs who are keeping itin continual trouble, make itself equal with the North in enetgy and enterprise and develop a heaitny competition with us in trade and.revenue. As these results: can be secured with Gen. Garfield for President, and cagnot with Gen. Hancock for President, the Advance, to be logical, should support the former. Ae THRIFT AS OPPOSED TO PAUPERISM. The British Government has, after slow Processes and. Jong deliberation, adopted the policy of affording the fargest facilities for thrift. The abuses under the private savings- banks system led some years ago to legisla- tion of a more rigorous character for the pro- ‘tection of depositors, and also to the es- tablishment of sayings banks in connection with the post-offices. These postal savings banks were of necessity limited to post-of- fives of the larger character, and out of the 13,000 post-offices in the United Kingdom not re than 5,000 have savings banks at- tached to them. The increase in these postal savings institutions has been-slow, the addi- tion not-exceeding 300 a year. At the present time, the deposifs'in the British postal say- ings banks is about $160,000,000, and in the old chartered institutions about $20,000,000. The’ lowest ‘sum'teceived ‘on ‘deposit is one shilling, or about .24 cents, and the interest allowed: is 244 per cent a year. ' The ob- portunities. for ‘depositing in the postal banks are therefore limited, and by nomeans general, and the amount required for ade- posit is regarded ‘as fatal to saving by a larze class of peopie who might otherwise deposit. The. new Postmaster-General of England has directed his effurtsto still furtherencour- age and promote thrift.. He wisely argues that it is better for the masses that the Goy- ernment slould’ by legislation give them every opportunity to practice thrift, and thereby become more self-dependent, and to -have a point towards which they can work on their own behalf, than to deny them such facilities, and teach them to look to the Government or private charity to support'them in the future. The money on deposit in the postal banks belongs to an immense number of persons, and the smallness of the deposits is evidence of how hard it is for them to save.at all, _ One of the improvements made by thenew Postmaster-General, who is Mr. Fawcett (the blind orator and statesman of England), is to detail a clerk to visit neighborhoods where there are no postal savings offices and receive deposits, due notice being given of the date of the viyit. During the four weeks since this has been in operation $1,450 was deposited at the thirty places at which a clerk was in attendance to receive deposits, ‘This is literally carrying the savings bank to the depositors, and when it becomes general- ly known much is expected from this ar- Tangement, = One great difficulty in the promotion of thrift has been, with a very large class, the difficulty of saving a shilling by accumula- tions, against the ever-pressing temptation of tobacco-and ale, urged on by the conscious- ness that the sum’sayed is less than the shil- ling needed to make adeposit. The new law of England provides a semedy for this, Any Derson may obtain free of cost a blank form; this form is divided into twelve spaces, each the size of a penny postagestamp, Any person having a penny can purchase a -stamp .and paste it on one of the spaces of the card, and when twelve stamps are thus obtained the card or form can be deposited at the postal savings bank as representing a shilling. Thus a Saving of a single penny is rendered availa- ble to those who have no more, and it is promised: that if this be_as successful as is expected the numberof stamps needed for a deposit will be reduced to six. This facility for saving is offered in opposition to the fa- cility of purchasing a pennyworth of tobac- €o, or & twopence or threepence worth of spirits or of ale. Tne penny once invested inastamp is considered as practically de- posited in the savings bank. 2 . The London Times has this to say on this particular feature of the new regulations: Some objections to the proposal will, no doubt, at once present themselves to cvery mind, and one may be-the supposed temptations which it will hold out to indulge in petty plltering. Serv- auts, it Is ‘feared, will occasionully collect not only. their own, but their masters’ stamps, and the accounts df depositors may grow at the ex- pense of common honesty. Thefts of this sort will, Do doubt, occur in isolated instances. All that one can say to exception of this character ig that the object in view is valuable, and that it is worth while enduring some in- convenience with “s view to carry it out. The bulk of Englishmen of olf classes ure honest; it isthe exception to find servants who will, for example, pocket ‘money-or mones’s worth which comes in their way. But we grieve tosay thatitisthe rule among the poor to be somewhat improvident, to let each day take care of itself, and to despise rather than admire par simogy inany form. Many an English-laborer or artisan who.learns that he can. get 2% per cent interest on hig deposits—a rate which would Quite satisfy a Frenca peasant—comes to the conclusion “that itis not worth while to deny himself tobacco and beer in order tosave. Any scheme which will belp to cure this national weukness ought to be welcomed, even if, as some correspondents suggest with reference to ne scheme, the regult'be that afow stamps go astray. Mr. Fawcett, however, has added in the new law the greatest of all inducements for savings which has .yet been offered*to the average British citizen, and thatis an-op- sportunity.to invest in the national bonds. The British consols are issued of various de- ‘nominations, the lowest, we believe, of £100, or$500, Whether thisbe the exact sum of the lowest denomination or not, the consols are now beyond the reach of the ordinary deposit- or. The new law provides that hereatter when. any person has £10,-or $50, on deposit in the postal savings bank he can have the same invested fer him without cost and at par ii a consol, or, as they are called in this coun- try, anational bond. -If this opportunity, which has hitherté been wholly unknown in Great Britain, shall: prove acceptable, the Government proposes’ a year hence to-re- duce tha minimum to £5, or $25. The privilege Is limited to $500 in any one year, and to $1,500 in all. The ‘argument’ is that the multitude of Englishmen will prefer an investment in the national funds to a mere credit in the savings banks. The London Times says: 7 In many ways -it is desirable to encourage people of all ranks to invest thelr earnings in the national securities. Each man who holds consols has a special ‘interest in the mainte- ange of poce and order: the noise of agitators can have ltetle attraction for him. The solidity of such investments, the ease with which con- suls onn be tranégferred, and the fact that they can be made available to ‘the small investor as well as the large, are but a fow of the reasons which make it wise to throw open Government securities to as large a number of investors a8 osaible. ‘his has been done with success in ‘ance, where the péasants have, In spite of revolutions and talk of revotutions, continued tobuy rentes, and where the nutionul debt Is held by some mijiions, of persons. Why should not similar results be attained here? ‘The' Saturday Review explains why this proviston of the new faw will succeed. It says: : 4 Substantially, no doubt, he who has £150 to his credit in the Post-Office Savings Bank is as good a man as be who hus the same sum invested in consols. But the sound of having money in the funds is very much finer than the sound of having money in the savings bank. ‘The one phrase has a wall-to-do and even wealthy air about it; it makes the man to whom it is applied n cap- italit in the eyes of bis neighbors, The other sugzests an idea of sinall sayings storet up against a rainy day which {s sure to come in the end, and may come atany moment. We are in- clined so think that the influence of this dis- tnction will be considerable, that the dignity of being sn investor as compared with the deposit- or will have w real attraction tor the pour, and that the number of holders of Government stuck under the provisions of the pew bill wilt be quite as large as its authors expect. ‘The recent experience in this country serves to show the success of issuing bonds of small denominations. The history of the National 4 per cents -is positively marvel- ous. The Government was able to dispose of over $70,000,000 at par without the least difficulty; @d the sale of $10 certificates convertible into 4 per cent bonds might have been continued indefinitly without ew hausting the popular demand. The example of the Government has been followed by our own two municipal-corporations,—the City of Chicago and Cook County. ‘These cor- porations issued bonds of $50 each, bearing 4 per-cent interest, and-at no time since their issue have they been obtainable at less than 4 percent premium. Four per cent bonds of the Cify of Chicago, of the denominations of $10, $25, and $50, can find a market at par in this city.in sufficient. amount to cover all that part of the present city debt which will fall- due: within- the next two years. Such bonds can find a‘ready. market in this city among all those people of small means, of small accumulations, who have had such costly experiénce in the matter of savings banks. There is not a town or Village in the country where National bonds of dénomina- tions not exceeding $50. may not find invest- ors who are unable to buy the bonds of darger sums, a . We have not in this.country been able to of postal savings banks, wings:may be deposited. ‘i¥ilege’of depositors $10 in National - certificates: or bonds, would prove of incalculable benefit to -an immense class of persons who.have now no practicable mode of securing small sav- ings; and at the same time, by distributing the National debt generally’ among the peo- ple, bind .by the‘strongest of all ties’ the. whole people to the preservation and support of the National credit and’of the National unity. . NaTIoNaL EDUCATION. Some months ago Tue Trrsune! suc- ceeded in’ directing a large share of the pub- lic attention to a project for nationalizing the public-school system of this country to the extent at least of lending National aid to the States for the support dt free schools under Proper conditions, The National Conventions of both the Republican and the Democratic parties: recognized, the public sentiment fa- vorable to the extension of the public-school system by incorporating in their platforms a general approval’ of the idea. President Hayes, in- nearly every public utterance he has delivered during ‘his journey to Califor- nia, has made this idea the chief burden of his discourse... The- New ‘York Herald re- cently applauded the prominence which he has given to the subject; and summed up its own opinion in the following terms: Mr. Hayes may be in-error in maintaining that the Federal Governmentshould supply facilities for educa:ion which the States fail to’ provide, but the pubile intelligence will indorso his view that the means of’education should be furn.shed to allthe childrenof the Republic. Congress bas done much in this direction, afd may prop- erly domore. The large distribution of sucptus revenue among the dtates more than forty years ago was converted by most of them into an education ‘fund. Although-nominally a de- osit, it will never be recalled. -In all the new States Congress hus‘ made ample donations of public lands for educational purposes, It would e difficult to show that Congress has exhausted its authority on this ‘subject, and Mr, Hayes’ vigorous and reiterated appeals should stimu- late that body to do what it can. * “Congress has done much in this direction, and may properly do more,” says the Herald; and this is precisely the. end at which Tue ‘Tripone has aimed: ‘The country: needs a thorough investigation and a broad discus- sion of the public-school system as it is maintained North. and. South and in the varlous States. This can only be obtained through Congress, The statistics of the re- cent census will probably furnish useful information on the subject. The develop- ments of such a scrutiny at the hands of. the National Legislature will reveal in large Part the causes for prevailing ignorance, prejudice, intolerance, and sectionalism in certain States, and it will suggest the proper remedy. It will pay for the American peo- ple to devote a portion of the surplus reve- nues of the General. Government, and particularly. a part. of that revenue yielded by whisky and tobacco, to the maintenance of public schools in the benighted districts ‘upon a common principle of perfect freedom and equality to all races, all sects, and all classes. The principle of Nationalism de- wands that’ certain -sections shall be pre- vented from teaching through text-books the cherishing of false traditions and inculeating. @ sentiment of hostility to National-sover- eignty.. The same principle demands that no ruling caste in any part of the country shall be permitted’to deprive the other inhabitants of all school facilities, and keep great masses of the people in dense ignorance. The school system -of- many of the. Southern States is in ardeplorable condition. It is mainly responsible for the sectional ani- mosity, ‘race “hatred, and clas’ injastice that, “prevail in those: States. There is no other reniedy for its defects and its in- Juries than that of exerting National dontrol to the extent of- imposing the spirit of the National Constitution, and this can -be.ob- tained through National ald. It will be bet- ter to devote a portion of the surplus reventie to such a purpose than to consent to the actual abolition of the internal-revenue system,-a3 has been proposed -by Alexander | 2H. Stephens and other exponents of Southern: sentiment, or even to..a.reduetion of the taxes on whisky .,and tobacco, which are sustained without, burden to the people and ‘represent the indulgence of appetites that ought-to render some compensation to. 80- .ciety. lt is to be hoped that~ President Hayes’ recent addresses, and the general in- terest the subject of public education is now attracting, will lead to proper Congressional consideration; such will almost ‘surely be the result of a Republican victory this fall. JONATHAN EDWARDS ON THE TRINITY. Jonathan Edwards has long since passed ‘away in the flesh, but the impress left by him on the theology of ‘the country has ‘been in- effaceable, He is still remembered and re- } vered as the great apostle of Calvinism, and stone of theology in all the Calvinistic schools of the country. Of Jate years there has been considerable discussion. as. to whether Jonathan Edwards was at all times consistent in his views and judgments,: more particularly upon questions concerning. the Trinity. It has been asserted from time to.time that the.-great divine had reduded his views on. this subject to writing, and that the publishers of his works had deemed his writing on this point so ob- jectionable that ‘the paper was suppressed. Of, late’ it has been given out that this sup- pressed paper was still in existence, and that it so challenged the orthodox teaching on the Trinity thet it might be styled as-Uni- tarian in its tendency. 5 ¥% * Dr. Oliver ‘Wendell Holmes, {n a recent paper published in the International Review, referred to this matter, and to this. writing, supposed to have been suppressed by the Trinitarian publishers of Edwards’ works, and used the following language: ‘The writer is informed on unquestionable su- thority that there fs, or was, fn existence, aman- } useriptoft Edwards, in which his views appear to have undergor.e a great chunge in the direo- tion of Arianism, or of Sabelttunism, which is an old-fashioned Unitarianism, or, at any rate, show a defection from his former standard of orthodoxy, and which its custodians, thinkin; best to be as wise as serpents in order that they might continue harmless as doves, have -consid- ered it their duty to withhold from the public. if any of our friends at Andover can inform us what are the facts atout this manuscript, such information .would be gratefully received by many ioquirers; who would be rejoiced to know that 80 able and eu gpod # man lived to be eman- cipated from the worse than heathen concep- tions which bad so long enchained his powerful but crippled understanding. : ‘This and other publications of the same general character were intended perhaps to prepare the religious world for the appear- ance of the Edwards paper itself; at all events Mr, Egbert C. Smyth has published.a volume ‘in’ which he gives the long sup- pressed ‘observations concerning the Scrip- . ture economy of the Trinity and the cove- nant of redemption.” . In the volume he gives a history of. the paper, and suggests. the rea- sons which have so far prevented:its publica- tion. ay : - The ‘essay is long,—too long for a news- paper. It is in the somewhat neavy and turgid style of Jonathan Edwards and of. the general theological writings of his day. The essay js divided into many points and sub-points.. We take, boweyer, the conclu- sion or final deduction of the paper, from which the reader may possibly discover how. far the great Calvinist. departed, if at all, from the orthodox. teaching on the subject. Here is the’couclusion of the paper: ., - C$rov.—From the things that have been ob- served, it appears to be unreasonable to sup- poses as some do, that the Sonshtp of the second Person In the Trinity consists only in the relation’ He bears to. the Father in His mediatorial ter; and that His generation or proceeding from, the Father as a Son consists only in Eis being appolnted. constituted, and authorized of the ‘ather.ty the office of a mediator; and that there that which fs voluntarily established In the cove- nant: of redemption. ‘or ft appears by what bas deen said, that Ebeintior a ob the Father to the Son is, in-the order of nature, before’ the covenant ‘of redemption. And it appears evidently. to be -so, even by the scheme of thosé- now mentioned who suppose the contrary. For they suppose’ that it is the Father who by His power constitutes the Son ju His olfice of Mediator, and so that the Mediator fs His Son—f-¢., ig made a mediator by Him, deriving. His bemg in that office wholly from Him. But ff so. that supposes the Father, in the Economy of the Trinity, to be before the Sonor above Him (and so to vest with authority and thus to constitute and authorize the other Person in the Trinity) before that other Person is thus authorized, which is by the covenant of redemption, and cot ently that this supe- riority of the Father is antecedent to that coye~ nant. And the whole tenor of the Gospel ex- hibits the same thing. that represents the wondrous love and grace of God as appearing in appointing and constituting His own onl: gotten and beloved Son to be our Mediator; which would be absurd if he were not God's Son, till after he was appointed to be our Mediator. : » ASTRONOMICAL, 3 .
