LOGANSPORT PRESBYTERY.

Wednesday Morning.—An hour was snent in religious conference. A number of the members feelingly expressed a desire for a closer communion with God, that they might be more efficient in winning souls to Christ. At the close of the social service regular business was taken up. The report of the Rev. N. E. Tuck, the Presbyterial Missionary, showed that he had been abundant in labors, gathering many souls into the Redeemer’s kingdom. After a spirited discussion in regard to his work and the means of his support a resolution was adopted favoring his continuance in the work and providing for his support. Rev. Robert Beer, of Valparaiso, asked to be relased from his pastoral relations with the church at that place. He stated that he had been serving with them for eighteen years and through all that time the strictest harmony had existed between pa stor and people,but he believed the time had now come for a dissolution of those relations. The matter was tenderly discussed and his request was granted. Monticello was chosen as the place for the fall meeting of the Presbytery. Rev. Joseph McHatton accepted a call to take pastoral charge of the church at Kentland.

. Rev. Beer was elected Ministerial Commissioner to the General Assembly, with Rev. A. M. Work, of Rochester, as alternate. For lay commissioner, Mr. Joseph Pierce, of Valparaiso, and Mr, Ingram, of Logansport, alternate. Rev. E. S. Scott read report of Foreign Missions. Presbytery had contributed, to foreign missions, during the year, <4,600. The report, as a whole, was very encouraging. Rensselaer church was granted £SO aid for the current year :rom the Board of Home Missions. The committee on Temperancs adopted the following res- lutions: Ist. Resolved, That we, as ministers and elders, will use all lawful Christian effort to secure the legal prohibition of the manufacture, sale and use of intoxicants as a beverage. 2d. 'hat we cordially commend the work of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union in their efforts in. the cause of Temperance. Wednesday Evening.—Rev. Scott read report on religious state of the church throughout the Presbytery. Congregations were reported good.— Sunday schools in a flourishing condition. One church had been built%nd two others projected. A decided growth inthe ‘‘grace of giving” was noticed. J here had been 108 accessions.

ihe subject of “Helps and Hindrances to efficient work in feeble churches” was discussed, lead by Rev. B. E. S. Ely. Rev. E. P. Thompson, “System;” Rev. J. B. Smith, “Social « orship:”Dr. J. F. Kendall, “Church Loyalty;” Rev. luck, “Liberality;” Under the head of “Aggressive ork in the Church,” lead by Rev. ". E. Loucks, the following topics were discussed: Rev. Scott, “Pastoral Duties;” Rev. Work, “a he Young Christian.” The speakers all evinced much earnestness and gave many eminently practical suggestions, which were well received. A vote of thanks to the pastor and elders of Rensselaer church for the use of their building, and to the people of the town for their kind hospitality, and to the choir for their assistance in the evening worship, was passed. 1 here are eighty-five thousand Hebrews in New York city.

BLAINE.

charges and Specifications Relating to Public Ras< • . calities. Hie Great Republican Leader Stripped and Publicly * Whipped bv a Republican Organ. (New York Evening Poet, April 7th.) A correspondent, whose letter we print in another column desires some explanation what he considers the slig ing or hostile references to i James G. Blaine which so I

quently appear in the Even Post, and which he suspa must be, in some degree least, the product of private malice. « e think he is entitled, as are our readers generally, to some such explanation, and we shall proceed to make it cheerfully, starting, however, with the assertion that no editor or other person connected with the Evening Post in any capacity has. to our knowledge, had any difference, quarrel or controversy with Mr. Blaine or has ever received, any injury from him whatever or bears him any personal grudge., whenever he is discussed in these columns he is discussed either as the holder of a public office or as a candidate for a public office. Nor do we make any reference to his private affairs except when those affairs have or appear to have a direct and important relation to his character and claims as a public man. In fact all our comments on him and his doings are due to the tact that we consider his reappearance as a candidate for the highest office in the Government or any other, as an audacious proceeding, which, can only be accounted for by supposing him to have an ex traordinary and unwarrantable confidence in the popular forgetfulness. It is the duty of all those who do not wisn to see the I.epublican party buried dur • ng the canvass next summer with the hopeless task of whitewashing him, to set forth briefly, now that his boom is becoming so lively, the charges which he will have to answer before he can be elected to the Presidency. It wo’d be lamentable indeed, and certainly disastrous, if the task prescribed for Republican journalists by the convention should be not the discussion of great questions of public policy, like the tariff or the civil service or the railroads or the currency, but laborious examinations of Mr. James G. Blaine’s railroad transactions. We mean, as far as we are concerned, to avoid this if we can by taking up his railroad transactions now, before the bustle and excitement of the canvass begins.

THE FIRST CHARGE. The first of these charges is that in the spring session of Congress in 1869 a bill was before the House of Representatives which sought to renew a land grant to the - Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad of Arkansas, in which some of Mr Blaine’s friends were interested; that an attempt to defeat it by an amendment was made, and was on the point of being successful, and its promoters were in despair; that at this juncture Mr. Blaine, being then Speaker of the House, sent a message to General Logan to make the point of order that the amendment was not germane to the purposes of the bill; that this point of order was accordingly raised and promptly sustained by Mr. Blaine as Speaker, and the bil] was in this manner saved; thal Mr. Blaine wrote at once ts the promoters calling atten tion to the service he had ren dered them, and finally, aftei some negotiations, securec from them as a reward for ii the appointment as selling agent of the bonds of the road,
