AN0T1IKK FALLEN.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writing about the proceedings of the Methodist Annual Conference at Bcllcl'ontaine, Ohio, thus notices a melancholy instance of "falling from grace," on the part of a prominent minister

The examination of character took place, and the- case of Allen T# Thteupson was taken up. This noted VOung minister met with some misfortune in Cincinnati, and was tried byliis members (a court) and found innopent. He resigned his pastorage of Wesley Chapel and went to Hillsboro, to take charge of a college. lie sent in his resignation to the Conference, and some unkind brother was in fuvor of expelling him. There was a good deal of discussion about the matter, when the Rev. Conrey moved that he bo allowed to withdraw under charges of immorality, which was agreed to.— This decision of the Conference drew tears from the Bishop and almost the entire congregation, for no young man commenced a career with as flattering prospects as Mr. Thompson. He was young, and strangely gifted as an orator. His intellectual abilities were very great, and he soon became the idol of the church."

This Allen T. Thompson furnishes a new instance of the frailty of Gospel Ministers who leave their Master's work for the unclcriual omploymcnt of politics and Satan's devices. Thompson is a mar. of rare gifts as a speaker, and the Republicans, in and about Hamilton county, Ohio, very soon found that out, and put the poor creature to the hard drudgery of preaching political sermonB to aid the cause of that party and the negro. Who has not heard of the 'Rev. Allen T. Thompson as a preacher and politician? For every word uttered about "Christ andtim

of negro emancipation aud the "savins faith" of the party doctriiip°

OBAWFORDSVILLE, MONTQ-OMERY- OOIIHTY, INDIANA, SEPTEMBER 23, 1865,

A right to liberty Arrests were made by course of law, Trials were speedy, too, -And Seward rang no little bell,

I?o,i «olo ^vi/Jnuomsts. He gave to the party aud faction tho benefit of his talents, and has lost his place ill the Christian Ministry, lie has fallen!,

The exact crime of this miserable man can only be guessed at or surmised. It is doubtless "the sin which so easily besets" those who disregard their ministerial vows and go out amongst the unclean of the world. No minister can be proof against tho vices which bad associations engender. These ministers all profess that, being "called'' to preach the gospel they have no concern about the world's secular affairs. To be a Republican politician—the associate of, and apologist for, the lying, (-heating, plundering and venal crew who have brought death and sin upon the land—would have debased, wc fear, a more refined nature than poor Thompson possessed. It was precisely what mighthave been expected. His religious feelings proved too weak for his political abasement, and lie followed into the world's ranks the thousands of poor fallen wretches who have gone out of the ministry from the same cause.

The conference record is full of meaning. That record is that Thompson might ".withdraw from his ministerial duties, "under charges of immortality." The Conference was both charitable and forbearing. It had no desire to try

Thompson, and expose both himself and the Church to the scandals which that trial-would bring upon them. So the whole thing is hushed vp, and Thompson can "take charge of the College" at Hillsborough, and educate, in his own pure and spotless manner, the rising generation in and around Hillsborough 'Thesa young Collegians have a bright prospect before them.

We are toi 1 by the correspondent of the Commercial that "Thompson's fall drew tears from the Bishop and almost the entire congregation." That was crcditablo to the feelings of the Bishop and the audience, for whieli they are entitled to honorable mention. But the Bishop migjit have saved his tears and the Church tfofr scandal of Thompson's imiborality, if he* had forbidden th^s young man from indulging in political sermons and other, ^unholy discussions—thift dqparting from what that Churcfy professes to observe in its discipline and economy. But he-'did' not exercise that conceded authority, nor have other Bishops of that Church^d^ne so, and hence-- the sore scandals whilfli, here and there, arc rife in the land. Ministers of the Gospel, of all denominations, with now and then an honorable exception, have forgotten their duty in this respect, and hence there has been no time when loose morals among the clergy has been more prevalent than now. Thousands upon thousands of anxious listeners are driven from .the churches of the land because ofc tho practice which has obtained—preaching politics at one portion of the congregation for the party advantage of the other portion. This is an insult to all the hearers, and what is worse, an indignity to God's house, and a sin which Heaven will punish. When ministers devoto themselves to the work to -which they profess to be "called," that is, the preaching of the Gospel, there is strong presumption that the "call" is from Heaven, and that respect is due to them as such but when they devote themselves to preaching the right of one political party to govern the land against law, justice and written Constitutions, them wc must be allowed to declare that thev are entitled to no respect, neither as ministers or men. Those agitators will find out very soon that this sentiment is on the increase, and that men and women of sense will not submit to pulpit lectures on politics, and from a class of men men, too, who are the least qualified to impart information on the subject of human Government. They must abandon such insolent interference with the rights of their congregations. Modesty sliould prompt them to pursue this course, and if th^y fail to do so we may expect large increase of Allen T. Thompson's in the ministry. ,The nuisance will be corrected in this way if no other.—State Sentinel.

President Johnson's Spccch to the Southern Delegation. We have published a brief abstract of the address of the President to delegates representing nine Southern States, who called upon him to assure him of their determination to sustain his policy in restoring the alienated^ States to the Union, aud their willingness to accommodate tliemselves^in good faith to the altered circumstances of the country. The speech of the President is in excellent temper and breathes a generous spirit worthy the man aud the position he occupies as the head of the Nation. It assures the Southern people that there will be no malignity, no vindictivencss manifested towards them in the administration of the Government, but every" facility, and a most cordial welcome extended to them in their efforts to make the Union of these United States more complete and perfect than ever.

We regard the speech of the President

desire for the restoration of tUu union upon an enduring basis

•Gentlemen, we have passed through the rebellion. 1 say we for it was us who were responsible for it. Yes, the South made the issue. I know the nature of the Southern people well enough to know that when they have become convinced of an error, they frankly acknowledge it in the most open and direct manner, and now in the performance of that duty, or, indeed, in act, they do it heartily and frankly and now that they come me, 1 understand them as saying that we madf the issue that we setup the Union of the States against the institution of slavery. "Wo selected the arbiter, the God of battles the argument was the sword the iBsue was fairly and honorably met both the questions presented have been settled again.-t us, and we are prepared to act on the is*ue. I find on all sides this spirit of candor and honor prevailing. It is said by all that the issue was ours, and the judgment has been against us, and the decision having been made against us, we feel bound in honor to abide by the arbitrament.. In doing this v/o are doing ourselves no dishonor, and should not feci humiliated or degraded, but rather that we are ennobling ourselves by our action, and wc should feel that the Government has treated us magnanimously,

and meet the Government upon the terms it has so magnanimously proffered So far as 1 am concerned, tier.®

As I have before remarked to you, I am gratified to see so many of you here to-day it mnnifoBto «. .mi j.iouncvi to observe. I know it has been said of me that my asperities are so sharp that I had vindictive feelings to gratify, :md that 1 should not fail to avail myself of the opportunities that would present themselves to gratify such despicable feelings.^ "If my acts will not speak for me and for themselves,1?then any profession I might now make would be equally useless but, gentlemen, if 1 know myself, as I think I do, I am of Southern people, aud 1 love them, aud will do all in my power to restore them to that state of happiness aud prosperity which they enjoyed before the madness of misguided men, in whom they had reposed their con-, fidence, led them astray to their own undoing. If there is anything that can be done on my^part, on correct principles of the Constitution to promote these ends, be assured it shall be done. "Let me assure you, also, that there is no disposition on the part of the Government to deal. harshly with the Southern people. There may be speeches published from various quarters that breathe a different spirit. Do not let them trouble or excite you, but believe that it is, as it is, the great object of the Government, to make the union of these United States more complete and perfect, than ever, ami to ^maintain it on constitutional principles, if possible, more firmly than it Mas ever before been. "Then why can not we all come up to the work in a proper spirit. In other words, let us look to the Constitution.— The issue has been made and decided.— Then as wise men, as men who see aright, and arc determined to follow it, as fathers aud brothers, and as men who love their country in this hour of trial and sutienng, why cunnot wu como up nnd help to settle the questions of the

REVIEW.

ned, personally,

am not influenced by any question, whether it affects tho North or the South, the East or the West, I stand, whe^e 1 did of old, battling for the Constitution and the Union of these United States.— In doing so I know 1 opposed some of you of the South, when the doctrine of secession was being urged upon the country, and the declaration of your right to break up the Government and disintegrate the Union was niadci. I stand to-day as I have ever stood, firmly in the opinion if a monopoly contends against this country it must go^down and the country must go up. Yes, the issue was made by the South against the Government and the Government "has triumphed, and the South, true to her ancient attributes of frankness aud candor, comes forward and expresses its willingness to abide the decision in good faith. While 1 think that the rebellion 1ms been arrusted and subdued, I am happy in the consciousness of "a duty well performed, and want not only you, btit the people of the yforld, to know that while I dreaded and feared disintegration of the States, I am equally opposed to consolidation or concentration of power here, under whatever guise or name they bear, and if the issue is forced upon us, I shall endeavor to pursue the same efforts to dissuade from this doctrine of running to extremes. But I say. let the same rules be applied.

Tho former status of the negro is changcd, and we.9s wise men must recognize so potent a fact aud adapt ourselves to circumstances as tlicy surround us. [Voices—'We arc willing to do so.' 'Yes, sir, we arc willing to do so.'] I believe you are. 1 believe when your faith is pledged, your consent is given.— As I have already said, I believe it Avill be maintained in good faith, and every promise will be fully sustained. [Cries —It Will.] "What I ask or desire of the South or the North, the East or the West i= j« iu carrying out the principles of the Constitution. It is not to be denied that we have been great sufferers on both siflcs. Good men have fallen, and much misery is being endured as the necessary result of so gigantic a contest. Why, then, cannot we come together, aud, round the' common altar of our country, heal the wounds that have been made? Our country has been scarred all over. Then why cannot wc approach each other 011 principles which are right iu themselves, and which will be productive of good to all? The day is not distant when we shall feel likb the same family, that has had a deep and desperate feud, the various members of which have come together and compared the evils and sufferings they had inflicted 011 each other. They had secu the influence of their error and its result, and, governed by a generous spirit of conciliation, they had become mutually forbearing and forgiving, and returned to their old habits of fraternal kindness, and become better friends than ever.

Then Ictus consider that the feud which alienated us has been settled and adjusted to mutual satisfaction. That we came together to be bound by firmer bonds of love, respect, and confidence than ever.— The North cannot get along without the South, nor the South without the North the East without the West, nor the West without the East and I say it is our duty to do all that within our power lies to

"Gentlemen: I repeat, I sincerely" thank you for the respect manifested on this occasion, and for the expressions of approbation and confidence, please accept my thanks." lhe leader of the delegation replied: "MR. PRESIDENT: On behalf of this delegation, 1 return you my sincere thauk3 for your kind, generous, aye, magnanimous expressions of kindly feeling to the people of the Sonth."

The visitors then retired.

Economy in Public Expenditures. The Republican papers have a good deal to nay about thu necessity of economy in the expenditures of the General Government to maintain the public credit and reduce the cnormotis taxation whieff is beginning to weigh like a mill stone around the neck of the Nation. If economy is necessary in the Nation's expenditures, the same necessity for economy exists in State, county and municipalgovernments. But little'will be accom'plished in letrenchiug the enormous pub-', lie expeditures of the last four years, which rapidly increased from the beginning of the war even in the civil administration of public affairs, if the people are conf.ont»«v«-tu simply a rigicl economy in the administration of ihe General Government. In that regard-the local governments need as much attention as the National. In looking over the Acts of the Indiana Legislature of 1865, we find the following appropriations were made for one department of-tfche State government, the Executive, to-wit: Governor's salary $3,000 Rent of Governor's ilouso 5,000 Civil Contingent Fund for Governor 7.,000 For telegraphing for Governor 5,000 Governor's Private Secretary 500 For Clerk hire, and necessary inci- -y dentals to Governor's Office 12,000

332,500'

For the year 1SGG the same sums were appropriated 32,500'

Making a total for two years §65,000 In addition to this there was appropri- vated S3,0C'U -ach year for incidentals fotf State House and State officers, and $1,800 each year for State House attendance and repairs. There are other, expenses eonneeted with the Exocutive Departments drawn from the Treasury under continuous appropriations which do not appear in the gcueral appropriation law. These are only the civil expenses iu tne Execu.tive Department. For military expenses wc find the following appropriations were made for the year 1865: Expenses of clerk hire, books, stationery, etc., in the Adjutant General's office to complete the unfinished business of said office 9,200 00 Expenses for clerk hire, books stationery, rf-e., for the current business of the office of the Adjutant General 12,000 00 if For 1866 the same sum as the last is appropriated 12,000 00

Making a total for the .two years of §33,200 00 In addition to this the Adjutant General is allowed each year the pay and allowances of a Brigadier General in the army of the United States on post duty, which we suppose will amount to about $4,500 each year. This will make the sums appropriated directly for the military branch c-i' tVc Executive Department about 8-12,200 for the years 1865 and 1866.

These figures show that the last Legislature appropriated directly about §98,000 for the expenses of tho Executive Department of tho State Government alone, aud this amount does not lnoludo the expenses paid uudcr the general laws,. nor docs it embrace the contingent mili-^ tary expenses of the Governor, which aro' illowed by the Legislative Auditing Committee, and thus drawn from the State Treasury.

If there is a necessity for economy in' the National expenditures to sustain thopublic credit, it is equally important to curtail the extravagancies in the Admin--' istration of the State Govevnment tor lighten the burdens of the people. The' enormous expansion and volume of the paper currency has stimulated extravagance in both private and public expen-rtv-jg ditures, and it has produced a fietiousta*. condition of financial affairs whioh can-Ms* not long continue. It. is the part of wis-' dom, therefore, to anticipate the greafcj^ change which return to specie paymenftj®!$ will occasion, and nothing will liavj more healthful influence than retrench-"^ raent and rigid economy in all public penditures—township, municipal, county and State, as well aB those of the Nation-o^ ^.%" a E should be cut off aud every useless penditure, which the condition of war^,?^ may have made neccss ary, should be|t{i'1,'!i~ stopped.—State Sentinel.
