The Bay State and First National insurance companies of this city lost $2500 each by the burning of Revere sugar refinery at East Cam bridge, Wednesday night. The increasing popularity of the entertain ments of the People’s club is attested by the fact that the hall was crowded last evening, and large numbers were unable to gain entrance. The fair in the Vestry of Grace church closed last evening, having proved satisfactory and successful.

The bell will ring lustily to morrow morning to remind the people of the hour at which they are expected. Rev. A. McKeown gave one of the best lee. tures of the Mechanics course, last evening, on “Oratory and Orators.” The audience was n< t large, but was very appreciative of the many admirable points of the lecture. The quality of true eloquence was described as the noblest ac complishment in the power of a man or woman to possess, as combining the highest possible cultivation of the whole nature, physical,intel lectual and moral, in illustration, allusion was made to some of the most distinguished orators of ancient and modern times, whose appeals wayed the masses of men with their magic utter nccs. The capacity for public speaking was, e said, a gift common to all, although pos sessed in different degrees by different individu als, according io their temperament, sensibility, and general mental and physical characteristics, but for the attainment of the highest excellence, as in all other arts, cultivation and practice oi the most elaborate kind was essential. Great eloquence is impossible without such culture. But we cannot attempt a lull report of this lec ture, which was a vevy successful and satisfac tory performance.

As the force were about to depart to their several posts of duty, the mar shal took occasion to thank the men for the kUdncss manifested io him during the seven ears he has been with them, and particulaily th: lour and a half years that he has been their ehi?f. At the conclusion oi Major Drennan's remarks, Hon. Clark Jillson stepped to the f out, and in one of his happiest speeches, pre sented him, in behalf of the police department, with a valuable gold headed canc, which speech was feelingly responded to by the recipient. The cane was from the establishment of Messrs. BI ike Robinson, and was engraved by Cal Rice, which is a guarantee that the work was neatly done. Installation of Rev. Geo. W. Phillips, The installation of Rev. Geo. W. Phillips, late of Colurabus, Ohio, as pastor of the Plymouth church, took place in Mechanics ball to-day. The installation services began at two o'clock. The hall was filled, and the sei vires w ere lis tened to with the closest attention. The exer cises consisted of a solo and chorus, "O, Father Almighty,* by a select choir; reading of the sciiprurcs and prayer, by Rev. Geo. H. Gould, 1). D, of this city. An original bytnn was then sung by the congregation. Jbe installation sermon was then delivered by Ecv. E. B. Webb, D. D., pastor of the shaw rant church, Boston, who preached til? first ser mon before Plymouth church congregation filter it was constituted as a church. His text gibraster 1 Hauii ^pn VOL. 26, NO. 307. was in Isa. 20th chapter,l7th and 19th wise- in elusive. He divided his subject into three heads, to which he called the attention of his audience: First, the courage excited by such a beautiful vision of the coming church; second, how not to realize this vision, and third, how to realize it. In disonsFin* the courage excited bv the prophe cy of the text, the -peaker gave 11 bri I r-.; r a time, but truth will finally prevail. False ere *ds an l prophetrmay ans to show great signs and wonders, but the elect shall not be d< ceivod. M glity kingdoms and empire- will fall, but the kingdom of heaven, tne church of Christ, shall s and and prosper while the sun ami the moon en dure, and this promise of God gives strength to the faint and heart to the weary. Ou the second point, he urged with earnest nes. that this glorious condition of th. church is not to be brought about in the way too many persons think, bv means of greater wealth, more abundant discov eries, better inventions, a more equal and universal prosperity, and a higher civilization. H-* reviewed the rapid accumulation of wealth so frequently wit nessed at the present time, the giant strides of me chanical invent ion and scientific attainment, as marvelous as they are fascinating, coveting the wnole range of human thought, and contributing at every point to the increase of numan culture and comfort, and said, what more do we want? Will not ignoranc and superstition, and violence, and wrong, and the irregularities ot society, soon uh* place to the kingdom of heaven! Is not the prob lem of human good to be solved by these marvelous forces, and the sum of human happiness to be re ’c’>ed along the line of such progress and pros perity He would not undervalue all that the-e wonder-, fal forces may accomplish for the amelioration of human suffering, or for the refinement and eleva tion of society, but Christians must not be fascinat ed nor b.ind 'il by such material splendor, they must not look upon Ihe«e tilings as th.- fouu d itions upon winch the temple of God is to rise. What is it that houses, and g irdens, and servants, and horses and wines, an I dress and luxury, and bmks and bonds, and science and literature, and ma-ie and arl, and play have to do with Unrist and the spirit of a living church? There may be a,won derfiu ma'erial pro-p. rity, aud at the same time a spiritual weakness and palsy. Curtstians fill into error when they forget that there is a difference, essential if not antagonistic, between things spiritual and natural. They may live in the midst of great wor'dly prosperity, but it by no means follows that with this, or oh? of this, will come religious growth und power. They should call to mind that the church, whica is to b the kingdom of God on earth, is spiritual m ner origin, character, laws and forces, and then apply the upos tle s rule, “he tint soweth to the flesn shall of the lie di roan corruption, and he that soweth to the spirit shall of tne spirit reap life everlasting.” In tiiis material power and progress there is no spirit ual seed, no auteced nt or spiritual results; a meet ing house may ne built by the issue of ten per '-ent. bonds, but a spiritual church is not built upon any such foun lation; scientific knowledge, engineering and architecture have their place, but the Nev Jt rusalem is not to be built after anv pitenud in od 1; tae immense harve: s of the prairi e feed bod i s and not souls: the spiritual man, like the Mister, must have me it to eat that the world snows u it of As there b in a:l this material progress no par entage of spiritual offspring, so in it there is no >alt of preservation, nothing to resist spiritual a ciy. M itenal pro q writy is consistent with utter moral corrup ion: iiitf!l«c uai ciitur.i may leave tne heart fr.-e io rev. 4 in debauchery, ami the brilliant triumph, of modern science, nke a banner taken in war may float over purple canopies, beneath winch Agamemnon and Achilles rill their captives ot every youthful grace, rebasing them al no com mand of gods or men, but only that other victims, fresh r anil fairer, may take their places. Tor the truth ot all this, ne said, we need not go to the ancient civilizations nor to foreign cities. Forget the causes of Spartan deg< neracy; forego ah mention ot the Tiber aud of the seme; slop on the bank- of the Hudson, and see how commerce may destroy character and trade become devilish, aud sin fester in the Fifth avenue, and stock- be come corners for winch men gamble, and th pa pers become venal, and the judges sell judgment, and justice stands afar off, and truth falls in the street, and he that (witholds his bands from the spoil is counted a tool. Turning to the other side, to seek for the positive means bv which the church is to be e tab.idled, he said there could be no question as to the m ■am, for we know the end. The end is not social, political, nor scientific, but spiritual; the means used to ob tain them, therefore, must be spiritual. Devotion to temporal pursuit does not insure us the gain ol spiritual ends,—“Whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Tie* obstacles to b overcome are spiritual, and are met by spiritual ag.mci Christ came to destry the works of the d ?vii, and in this warfare we ma i u the same weapons that the Captain of our .Salvation used,-weapons not carnal, but spiritual. Look into the actual state of society, whether nak< dor open, as on heathen ground, or covered with social proprii til as nearer home, lust, pa sioti, greed, oppose truth and right, and find a way to break every statute and escape the jailor; win nc? come these things? “O it of the heart of men pro ceed evil thoughts,” and the who.e category of crime. The heart mud be reached and regenerated. So also the causes which confront ami n-Lt every Christian, neglect aud indifference towards the commands and claims ol Christ, will be found to originate in the heart. Men are right only when the heart is right in the sight of Uul. Thus we recognize the great spiritual power by winch the conquests of tne church are to be made: the Holy Ghost, .lave we appreciated the words of Jesus, “oetter for you,” better for the disciples, better for the worlds “that Igo and the spirit come!” How tender.y the church should cherish these promises and prerogatives of the spirit, in c.Osiag he urged hi- hearers, especially the Dew church, to begin its history witii a lull knowl edge and appreciauon of the power winch it may have by c.ose adherence to the requirements of t hnst. The history of nechurcii points to tuecon ciusion that the Holy Ghost u moving with power among the churcties, they are lighting and increas ing tuo weapons of faithand love, and patience,and wnole consecration, aud, the spirit being with us, victory is at hand. In this spirit lie trusted this brancu of the church had been planted, ami he urged its members to make it the centre from which an good works should radiate, the home of their warmest affections and the consummation of their eurthiy hopes and Joys, iu the full trust that, in so doing, to tuem the words of the text may be veri fied. The sermon was ably delivered and created a deep impression upon the audience. It was id lowed by the prayer ol installation, by Rev. E. Culler, D.D of this city, and the charge to the pastor, by Rev. B. M. Fullerton, of Palmer. Ihe choir then sung the Gloria irom Mozart’s 12th mass, after which the right hand of idlowsbip was extended to the new pastor, by Rev. U. M. Lamson, of tne Salem street chu.ch. In per forming this ceremony Mr. Lamson cordially welcomed the pastor elect to his new charge, and after congratulating him upon his new field ol labor, closed with these words: “Above all congratulations aud happy auspices rises this sentiment, ‘ln Chnst on?/ un d lam happy to be the voice of these churclK’S formed by that idea, and extend to you the ‘Right Hand of Fellowship/ And let this be for a sign, net er to be forgotten, Unit our churches are one church, members one ol' another, our work is one, ami we have one Loid, one faith, one baptism,” After the singing of another hym, IL v. Prof. J. H. Seeley, of Amherst, addiessed the people of the church, feelingly commending- the pastor to their confidence and support, and asking far him their prayers and consideration. The conclud.ng praver was offered by Rev. C. W, Allen of H mover, an early pastor ot Kev. Mr. Puillips, and with the singing of the doxol ogy by the congregation and the bcuedictioii by the pastor, the exercises were brought to a close. Last Meeting of the City Council for 1871.—The last meeting of the year always (li fers from the otheis, inasmuch as all minds are generally occupied with matteis foreign to ap propriations and committee reports. List eve ning was no exception, and nothing of great importance was actul upon, the time being chiefly taken up by the joint convention, in which Mayor Laric delivered his valedictory ad dress, as follows: Gentlemen qf the Cify Council Not quite newn mouths have elapsed since I came among you as step-iather, and vou perceive ai once from tuts fact how peculiarly 1 wa- placed, Tue organization of affairs had been completed and could uoi well be iutericn d with. If there were to be any yielding jt mast be on my p ar t otherwise jarring must arise. Taking tiiß view of the case, j felt that J ought to nd mvseli as muc as possible of all selgshness, earnestly endeavoring to act for the good of tin who e, and trusting mat all would eventually real ize that my efforts were honestly to promote the prosperity, the morality, the comfort ami g, neral Welfare of the eby, ami that all would ultimately iullDTground me as the real father. How far I have beeb tppcessful I cannot judge. I only know that from many J have received words ol sympathy, and from oiners cordial endorsement. The indulgence shown me by the citv council fins been more than I had any right to exueef. Mien having burn presided over, as many .us you had, for several wars, by so accomplish* d an ottcer as tne one under whom you eulLsted, I cannot fail to acknowledge the kindness with which you have borne with my unparliamentary m iijuer Grateful for your forVeuranc will now briefly review some of the more important resuits of our combined efforts. It ii cause for cungratulaikn? to nil good citizens that the prosperity of the city has Wu marked by gO abatement when compared with that of the pit's Deutqg liyti years. Public improvement has kept pace with the remarL^ble growth of the city; good prder has prevailed to an a.mujt unprecedented de few,-r tires have never' occurred the sQinq me and ratio-39 alarms of lire have occurred-it is said the whole loss will not exceed 814,u00.

Small pox then threatened and prevailed ton limited degn*e, but witn preeauliou my meiHurcs and (1m faithful efforts ot our city phy sician, Dr. Wood, utter a few months yielded mid disappeared. Tne tin* alarm telegraph was introduced at an ex pense of about i46,o.'iU, mid although we cannot ex actly know its ti eful results, yet none will condemn the investment. The union depot question, which has for years been one of great interest to the city, has been faitn fully adlmred to by the whole government, end is now located substantially as contemplated, for which much credit is due to our faithful city solic itor. The betterment law has been tairly initiated, and will be conceded to bo one of great practical utility ir. carrving out such public improvements as seem to bi* imperatively called for. New and improved highways and streets have Claimed and received much attention this year. The Jamesville road has been built; Salisbury, Mechanic. Prescott, Wilmot, Laiayette, Washing ton mid Hanover streets have been improved at heavy expense, and are now thorough fares that do cr dil to their several localities. Nearly all the buildings on Front treet have been moved back to tin* le w lino,and if n inter had not dos.-d in v ith such rigor nil would have been completed mid the street worked. Tiiis has required much persi-vorence, as all the übuttors reluctantly co-operated in its com pletion. In spring time, when f: ii all completed, I think it will be one of the most satisfactory im provements that has b<*en undertaken. rhe city hospital has been organized mid estab lished. The committee worked earnestly to bring about this result; and I believe many of the sons and daughters of the city may yet rise up to call them blessed. The work us raising mid completing the Lynde brook reservoir to its present state is one that com in.mds itself to tile gratitude of every citizen. It has been so well engineen a that it stops nearly every drop of water, and as you look at it. you feel that it may last tor ages, if properly cared tor. Hofior to Engineer Ball. Tin* work of grubbing the margin of tne pond has been carried to a con siilerabk* extent, and is still being pursued. Efforts have been made by the water committee to secure titles to the lauds'around the reservoir, and they have been successful m obtaining live different par c .’ls, cont iniug about 121 acres, at favorable prices, aud only a lew claims of this kind now remain un settled. The interests of education have be°n attended to aud our schools conducted successfully under the vigilant care of our superintendent und school board. Belmont school house has been tin idied. aud is one of the best in the ci:y. The new high school building has been so tar completed as to warraut its being dedicited tne 30th inst. The whole cost up to 1). c. mber 1-t is about 8151,0C0, and contracts now ponding will call for 820,003. It i- pleasant to remember that the establishment of the normal school, which is to be built the coming year, took place during our administration. Much credit for this u piobablydue to our members of theiaA legislature, also to Kon.E. B. Stoddard. A soldiery monument, which lias been a subject of agitation for the last five y-ars, is now contracted for after a design by Randolph Rogers. 1 regret that the sewetige assessment has not be-u lul l during this administration; it was a thing which I much desired to see accomplished, and gave io it much thought. The assessors had done un Important work. 11 s-ems to your chairman that the various com millers navr’succeedcd in obtaining contracts gen erally favorable to the interests ot the city; those for sewers are at a large reduction from former prices. The estimates, ba-oil on ohl prices, were, for Mill Brook to Cambridge street, 875,000, winch which was contracted for 865,000; for the* brook above Lincoln square, estimate 835,000, contracted tor SIB,OOO. Of the street sewers 36,2’X) feet at the old eslim des, or as Hie report of the en gine r says, “at the cost based upon the prices paid for those already built,” is SI7O,CU). These were contracted to a new firm, Leach Jt Co., of Philadel phia, for the sum of SBO,OOO, and afterward a small er contract was made with H. B. Leach Son, on nearly the same t-rms. contracts for lamp posts, lanterns, man-holes, water service pipes, and water skeleton pipes were all placed at reduced rates. Oar worthy treasurer’s brief report, which fol lows, shows very m arly our financr.il condition up to D e. I t. There are of course some arrearages which do not appear, especially on sewer contracts, as ten per c- nt on all such not completed is retain ed. Ii has been paid during this year to the amount of 8 ,on the contracts of last year. So also there are cases of claims to be settled;' they have in various torins amounted to large sums. Sewer damages along Mill brook have from tuu to tune be-n .-ettied, ana there ar? some that the incoming government will be called to adjust—damages grow ing out of the pumping of water last year were of considerable amount. I'iie interesting and valuable report of Engineer Ball covers many points winch J Lave not alluded to, but append the report. 1 call your etteniTon to a concise statement of the work of'lhe street commi-sioner, wnich I also ap pend. His duties have been arduous, ami few men coula endure the work performed bv him. Uis hours of labor many days cannot have been less than sixteen. We have the best of cvidenc* that our taxes have bire to say that in my constant associ ation with the various' departments of the govern in -nt, I Lad no cause for the whoh*sale imputations which have been ea< upon the integrity and taith fiilness of some of the city oliicials, and’ 1 can but feel tiiat more guarded language would bespeak bel ter motives. in a work like ours, where so many are concerned, uo one should take credit to himself. Human na ture alone can do but little. When we are willing to throw ourselves on the mercy of God and ask his aid, he will bless our efforts as 1 believe lie has during the past year.

Christmas ix South Sutton.—An old subscriber scuds us the following letter: South Suttox, Dec. 26,1871. Mr. Kditor: It becomes my duty, as well as my privilege, to publicly acknowledge a Christ mas present, it being a splendid painting of the old homestead, residence and birth place of John G. Whittier, the great poet, presented to me b.v A. F. Brown, Esq., in behalf of many of my acquaintances, and infthe presence of more than two hundred people, as a proof oi' their con tinued love and friendship for mv great good. The above was made the closing exercise oi the Christmas tree festivities in South Sutton. The tree, though just set out, bore more than S2OO worth splendid fancy and useful arti cles, beside several bushels of windfalls that found no room to stay upon the tree. It was a splendid evening and a pleasant time, yes, a time that will long be remembered by all of those present. Much credit was due the commit tee for the excellent manner and taste in which all the affairs were arranged,and the chairman, Mr. Mason W. Morse, presided with great credit. These festivities are becoming more common, and we believe very useful. Old acquaintances are renewed and new ones formed, besides the hearts of so many little and poor ones made, glad. I acknowledge again and say that the gift of the above picture lo me on this occasion was like the blow that the good old Samaritan gave when he struck the man on the shoulder and said: “Come, sir, let me help you up out of this ditch and set you on my beast, and ride to the inn, where provision shall be made for your good and swift recovery.” May the means be blest and may Ibe healed!

Charles R.

New York, Dec. 28. —All rumors to the disappearance of Tweed were set at rc.d at tw o o’clock this morning, when he appeared at the Norton bull at Apollo hall. He was escorted into the ball room by a committee of ex-poli ticians and sinecurists, ami on entering was greeted with cheers. It appears that the law does not exempt Tweed from arrest on account of being state senator, his case not coming un der the provisions of that statute. Steps have been taken to rearrest him on a graver charge than heretofore issued. Chas. O'Conor is ouposing the framing of an indictment against Mayor Hall by the grand jury. Mayor Hal! is said to have'resigned his membership in the union club toescape the ac tion ot the meeting which was to have been held to consider the question of h s expulsion. It is saitl that Tweed’s resignation as Tam meny grand sachem is already in the hands of the proper officer of the institution. Isaac Bell, a prominent sachem, says he sees no necessity of deposing Tweed, as Tammany is no longer w hat it was, and his resignation will do as lit tle good as his retention will harm. The order denying a reduction of bail in the civil suit against Tweed has been appealed from, and will lie heard in Albany Tuesdav mxr. Neither Cornelius Corson n< r Charles E. Wil bour, of the New York printing company, are to be found in the city. Abundant evidence of fraud in their accounts with the city, the Times says, has been found. An engine and tender on the Morris and Essex railioad wcie destioyed by a collision in the Bergen tunnel, this morning, with a Lackawan na train. No passengers on either train were injured. The grand jury, to-day, asked a further ex tension of time to examine the ring frauds, and Judge Bedford granted it io the 27th of January. I’hc grand jury also passed an order that they would not patiue. Col. hifeley is engaged in preparing evidence against ihe perjurers. Their arrest will speedily follow. The examination into the affairs of the sus pended Danks shows shocking mismanagement. The books were not written ’up for two yeais, accounts have been overdrawn, officials with small salaries building costly houses, aud politi cians receiving all sorts of benefits. Ihe Central savings bank, Sixth avenue and rorty-second street, has suspended; its officers say it is for a few days only. The bank has been organized only four months, and has $12,000 deposited. 1 Pc Ocean bank has been unable to honor all checks. The aggregate deposits are* not large, tiiough the depositors arc numerous. The offi saoasay the bank will pay all obligations, and trouble will probably cease alter the fust of January. Michael J. Alurphy, post office clerk, was to day held in S3OOO bail, charged with embezzling two letters. Ihe New York fire and life insurance compa nies presented to-daj’ a testimonial to the su perintendent of insurance, George W. Miller, signed bv 171 us the leading fin* and life insur ance (jflkers. The tesiimoni 11 endorsed Mr. Miller fully as to his abilitv, the value of his public services, and his uprightness and integ rity as an officer and a man. The tweutv-fifth annual convention of the Delta Psi began to-day. Judge Barnard has issued a peremptory or der lor (lie discharge of Howlett, one of the Ludlow street jail prisoners, but granted a stay ol ten days to permit the sheriff to bring a ques tion ol jurisdiction before the general term. Ihe decision of this case will be a test as to the others. Aj resolution granting (permission to place tubes under the streets for carrying persons and mor handise was offered in the board of assist ant aldermen to-day, and referred to the 'aw de partment. Gen. John C ichrane took oath before Jud"-e Cordozo as member of the newly chosen board ol aidermen to-day. The Jersey city authorities are placed in an uncomfortable position by the unexpected ac tion ol the managers of the First national bank, who claim that the city owned them $125,000. rhey paid themselves by transferring to their own account $.382,000 deposited to the account ol the city. I lie action was nil the moiedis agieeablc trom the fact that warrants to the amount of SIOO,OOO were dishonored. The of ficers of the bank sav they are compelled to act thus by the city authorities, uaviqg the claims ot the Hudson county bank to the exclusion of those ol the First national bank. New England Dispatches, B. F. Butler, of Cowell, ICimn io Explain to ihe IBardy FiMherincn us Proviure> town—<'ouuiterfcit<*i* C onvicted, MASSACHUSETTS. Provincetown, Dee. 28—Gen, Butler ad dnssed some twelve hundred people tonight, in the Century church, on the fishing inter ests as afheted by the treaty of Washington. In commencing, the speaker said he had no in. tention of making au oration, but was there 10 confer with his fellow citizens, as une man may with another upon matteis of public iuien est, an I as a well wisher of that country to whose welfare many ol his hearers had offered up the lives of rfieir sons, He spoke of the nursery of naval superiority belonging to the hardy training of Ameijcau fishermen, and detailed the history of the fish-, eriis from 18U4 to the present time, alleging that, during the whole peGed, England RaR protected and aided hi r colonies, to the detri ment of American interests Ihe rights to these fisheries, he said, are ours by no grace of kings, by no favor of nobles, by no treaty, bv none of the acts ol diplomacy but thej because our fathers, with their gop mms, took them from the enemy for country. Ihe ticaty wh’c!; ivffowed the war of 1812 said nothing about the great n»altei of sailors' rjuiiu, about which we went to war; we fought the war, qnd lorgot in the negotiations what wp had fought about, ihe vounger Ad:”ip had the conduct of those negotiation;, ami the iu stiuctions the old man. !;G rather, geut to Madi son arc very siggdiuaul; lie writes him in Hhsu wmds ^Sir: I would coßtinue the war indefinitely ra»ber than give up one lorn of our rights to the fisheries But all our titles were subsequently yielded, 1 have al way thought that toy many dinners bail something to do vyiJb our yielding of our rights to the tislierios, as 1 think they have been the b .i’c of every treaty wc have ever had.

He referred to the Uvary of Washing run and contiaur I “Now then tnis treaty was madr, but v t%u say to me: ‘Why, Gen. Buller, t^esu \»\re good and patriotic men that bud to Ro with that treaty, les,. I Hunk so Qae of them had the gout. 1 bey were good men. Well then, you say: •How do you explain it?' I have but one v* planation io make, and that is, th r. ^med to be au evei weening fear of with England. Everybody was (tautened io dcu(U about a war with LugUud. U ell, now. war with England is impOfiMlhle, W Uiv »r.; ixment Well, what this fear h by, everybody held a buge quantity of bonds in tiie United States, and, in the case ot war, would godown; and there is nothing so cowardly as a half a million of capital, except a million,” After i idi ‘uliug the idea of war with En glund, Gen. Butler said the Washington treaty, with the sense of wrong and injury it would bring upon the people, was more lively pro dace war within ten yeaix ihau auv vtuer ques tion. “Nobody kuuws?’ continued the geuc.al, "what this treaty is. It hasn't been published anywh«« Mt I know pt, except that Hie news' PRIC E I CENTS. paper correspondents stole a portion of it and published it to the world, and thev fell to dis cussing, with a great deal more of eagerness, the question of whether the correspondents had a right to steal L, than the question of what its provisions were.” The peofiledon’t know about it. The democratic party press either did not get hold of it or thev wcie too busv trying to cover up the kuklux down south than they were in finding out whether their interests were sacrificed at home. The republican press thought they musn't say anything about it be cause they thought il was an administrative measure, and “glory hallelujah” must be said to it; and nobody but a poor unfortunate repre sentative in congress, who did not like to see bis constituents go under without saying some thing in their behalf, is left to biing the matter to^the attention of Ins countrymen.
