FRIDAY. influential citizen Of AN oil arid file a bill of comtn!r with reference 'to the manner in ,t,;Ii tb a vote of that county was carried for the donation to the North and South Railroad. Wo have read it carefully, and it 6ccm3 to u3 the rrincirle trouble waa, that tho opponents of that enterprise were not as active as it3 friends. Thera ia nothing in the fact that there was not a full vote" rolled. Defeated parties always fall back on "a light vote" for consolation. If tho jidges of the precincts in Veale and Washington Townships threw out tickets which r,,f tn' Lave been counted, that would be a legitimate reason for con testing tho legality of the election, Bat our correspondent does cot stata that enough tickets were thrown out, because of informality, (o materially change the result. . We think the fear3 of our corres pondent that, by the Tote, the county will be taxed beyond the ability of its people to pay are not well founded. Our honest conviction is that the North and South Road will never do enough work in the county to entitle it tho donation, unless the business men of Washington apply the money in building the road to where it crosses the Indianapolis and Yincennes Road, . a project they have had under consid eration ever since they got into a quar rel with the officers of tho Ohio and Mississippi Road. We suspect that a project of that character has had some thing to do with the largo majority in favor of tho proposed donation in Washington township. But, how ever this may be, our correspondent's cowpkinings look to us very much liko "crying over spilt milk Ready for the Issue. In the Joubnal of Wednesday we propounded tho following question to the Courier: Are you in favor of repealing all laws which recognize, and are ue 1 eunea to perpetuate, Oanda7 as a DISTINCT BAY for religious ob servance and rest, thereby placing it on a level with the other six days of the week? This question the Courier of yea terday answers squarely in the affirm ative. It says: "No special ttat tttes should he made m favor of Sun day more than any other day," We have already proven that the Democratic! party of the State, through tbeir Representatives in the State Legislature, equarely endorsed the Sunday Liquor Law, which, has been the occasion of tho present con troversr. Therefore, when the Courur speaks it does not speak for its party. It may be, however, that the party is ready for a " new departthe position of that paper in favor of the repeal of all laws recognizing Sunday as a peculiar day. If so, wo are ready for tho issue. Let the Courier's party pass resolutions, at its City, County and Stato Conventions, in favor of tho abrogation of all Sunday laws. Wo dare the candidates of that party to make that fho issue at tho next city and county election?. We daro tho Democratic Stato Convention to (pass a resolution of that ' character. Wo do not believa that the editor of the Courier will so much as dare to present a resolution of that character for the consideration of the Convention. . ' - As we havo already , asserted, the Journal recognizes the laws for the preservation of quiet and rest on Sunday aa being founded in wisdom and worthy of preservation, and will defend them to the last extremity. We aro ready for the contest at any time tho opponents of tho laws may see proper to begin tho battle. The Cow ricr has selected the next city and - - county elections as the appropriate - tiina. "Very well. Wa are ready. Let its candidates bo nominated on that isKllff- Old rtartv' linaa WYtf,- mi r.An doubtless will in the etruggle, but no matter. We do not believe that Evansville is ready to assume the infamous distinction of being tho only city in this Ch ristian land which re pudiates the Christian Sabbath. If this odious notoriety is to bo ours, it . may as well be announced next Spring as any other time. The North and Booth liallroad In Daviess county. Editors Journal: V, a On Tuesday, the 30th November, an election was held in this (Daviess) special tax of two per cent, on tho valuation of all the real and personal property in the county, liabla to taxa tion, as a donation to aid in the construction of tho bo called North and South Railroad to some point on the Ohio River abovo Evansville. Tho newspapers of our city affect to be ... very exuhant over the result, when in truth and iu fact the election discloses the truth that a largo majority of the legal voters and tax-payera of tho county are opposed to the enormous increase of taxation proposed, as a donation to an uncertain and doubtful enterprise, and those in favor of tho ' speculation ero evidently greatly chagrined at the result. ' Tho Gazette of the 4th claims a majurii m aeyeniy-JiTa votes in lavor of the additional tax, and you may read in the Eame paper, (if it ever wanders as tar from home) something like -n :v" 137 tha following statement, it will bo seen that not moro than twoi, otQ TOtes of the county were polled. Had there been a full vote, the majority would have been increased in proportion." - - .r?,the.Stement30f tha Gazette 7 ?lslgenuous, but they are not true m fact.

The conclusion is irresistible that the friends of the enterprise polled comparatively their entire strength, and that a full and fair vote of the county would show a large majority against them. The only spseches made against the proposition were made in the i own ships ot Jteeve, uarr, van jouren, Madison and i-layard, and tney gave nn B7frptrta maioritv of 815 votes aeainst the appropriation. Had uneechea been made against the ap nrnnnittinn in all tbe tOWnsniPS. ine r t , , - , majority would have peen increased in rtrnnnrtion. ' ine eiecuon in mis county does not indicate hostility otromct h vansviiie. uq tne contrary. I am convinced that if a majority of th vnfps of the people can be secured in favor of an appropriation in aid of rv road, at a fair election, it will Pe some road tnat wuiconneoius wuu tfinr nitv. That electors might be informed! of tha amount nronoed to be raised by taxation in aid of a railroad, judge of their ability to pay it, and vote un derstandingly, the statute wisely re auires that the Auditor Ehall give notice that an election will be neid to take the votes of the electors upon the proposition, to an amount to be srH-citied in such notice:' vet the notice ot our recent eiecuon strangely failed to disclose tho amount to be appropriated. JJoth the leeahtv ot tne eiecuon and the constitutionality of the law will probably be tested, and if sus tained by our courts, will enable a minority to fasten upon an undoubted majority a crushing tax, so far as this county is concerned. Uayiess. Stato CUrlHtiau Association. A GOOD ATTENDANCE. Inteaetiue: Exercises. TEaas Haute, Bee. 8, 18C7. Editors Journal: Delegates to the Convention found at the depot a bulletin directing them to tho Congregational Church, where they found tho Committee of Ar ranements, and were assigned to homes. Quite a large number camo in by the several evening trains enough to secure tho success of the Convention. ' - - TUESDAY AFTEBNOON. Prayer meeting at d PJU.. ana a children's taeetin at 4 p.m., conduct ed by Mr.. Moody, of Chicago. in Congregational ChurclPto or ganize, ureal interest was rr.anuested by the citizens, who turned out in largo numbers, and tho spacious build ing was well filled. Tho meeting was called to order by Rev. Mr. nowe, pasiorof the Church, and Col. John W. Ray, of Indianapolis, elected temporary Chairman. Brs. Jewett and Andrus conducted the devotioaal exercises, after which a committer on permanent organiza tion was appointed and directed to report immediately. While tho committee was in session. Rev. Mr. Foxworthy, of the Centenary M. E. Church, of this city, on behalf of the Churches and peoplo of Terro Haute, gave a cordial welcome to the delegates. His welcoming address was none the less welcome because of its brevity. The Chairman, Col. Ray, replied on the part of the Convention with tho same brevity, and in the same earnest spirit. Mr. Moody, the lay preacher of Chicago, was then introduced, and stated the object of the Convention. The purpose, as he defined it, wa3 to dovisa means to set the laymen at work, and develope this unnsed power of the Church. He spoke at some length, detailed personal experience, illustrated his points by pertinent anecdotes, and, on the whole, made a good speech. One point is especially worthy of mention. He noted the fact that there were very few young men in tho congregation, and remarked that more eculd be found in any billiard saloon in the city. The fact suggests the eourso to pursue. We cannot reach the young men from the pulpit, therefore we must follow them into the billiard saloon and into every resort of pleasure and of sin until we win them. - At the conclusion of Mr. Moody's speech the Committee on Permanent Organization reported : For President Chas. Coffin, Richmond. Vice-PresidentsRev. Baniel Rice, B. BM Lafayette; J. R. Osgood, Indianapolis; Rev. A. A. Hyde. Indianapolis; A. S. Lvana, Fort Wayae Chas. C. Oakley and O. Bartlett! Tcrre Hauta. Secretaries Jos. Yajace, of Viuconnes; J. M. Olcott, Terre Haute. A business committee was also appointed. The report was adopted, the gentlemen above named elected to their several positions, and tho Convention adjourned. NYEI'NESDAY MOBNIXO. At Si A.m. Mr. Moody led a prayer meeting. The lesson was "A broken heart, or a contrito spirit, &c," and the' burden of his charge to the meeting was: Humble yourselves before God, and begin the labors of the Convention by entire consecration to tho work of tho Master. It was a liro meeting, and tears wero shed freely, though tho Blethodist element was hardly stron; enough to raise a shout. At 9i r.Jff. Col. Kay introduced the President elect Mr. Coffin to the Convention, who made a neat speech on taking the Chair. Rev. 12. 1. Ingersoll, of Indianapolis, opened the discussion of the first topic: W hat is the demand for an increaM of Christian effort in our btate An earnest discussion followed, -j The second topic, "How can we secure a more general attendance in city or country, on public worship?" was oponcd by Col. Hay. H0 held that Churches must have central locations, and not give up advantageous locations at the demand of busi-

ain I ich I ,i pWTftiL attractive to botti ric nnd poor. Ho would cover them with mottoes suggestive oi uesus. iib would have but one sermon on the Sabbath: schools and Biblo classes in r t i . tho afternoon, lie mustraieu ine advantages of this by Wales, and said there were more real D. D.'s in the Welsh coal mines than in all America, lie would have no service at night, or at most a class meeting, with singing. He would havo more systematic labor by laymen; he would organize them into committees to visit saloons. hotels, private houses, and do direct personal work everywhere. When men talked about the price ol potK, they should talk about the price of souls. Ho would banis'u doctrine and dogma from the pulpit, and taU Christ: do away with manuscript and substitute more direct personal ap pealThera was a free discussion of these points, in five-minuto speeches, whicn were generally endorsed by the Conveotion. The attendance is very good, many oWtpq havins come in on tne morning trains, and more are expecta.A Th irlPB struck out in the sisWv. - cas3ion are instructive, ana a general earnest feeling pervades tbe convention. W. T. h. Moslc leaching Snggestlona. Know thyself," seems to have been completely metamorphosed into " Know thy neighbor," or at least the former sensible suggestion, important as it should be, seems to be regarded with a great degree of indifference, almost ignored. And why are so many parents negligent in regard to the education of their children in this particular, viz. to hnovo self, and the laws practically of Hygiene. A little prevention is certainly better than a great quantity of cure. But the class which I wish to speak of is women from youth to middle age, a3 UtAr in life thev usually exhibit more wisdom in regard to taking cara of health, and very tew receive vocal in c-.trnntion or eiDjr even later in life. It is not very f asbionable for married ladies to sing in this section ot the country, with some honorable exceptions, whilo the number who give any speniil attention to voice culturevoice building or voice making, can almost be numbered in the column ot units, within a radius of ten times as many pnaara miles. Does singing io-jure the lungs? This question is frequently asked. And I reply, does speaking injure the lungs? Yes. Does eating ininra the stomach and system ( es Bo srrmnastio exercises injure the bodv? Yes. All of these, and many other " indulgences " are causes for Sremature ( Jrrovidential () deatn. Eut, of those named, singing and aneakinz are less fatal than eating. And the latter when it is indulged in to dissioation. together with the fash ionable abuse of tight dressing (alias elow murder suicide,) gives provi denco " a good deal to shoulder in this life. Upon this point in orthodoxy, readers are referred to the " Independent," a reply to tho letter of a providentially broken down, sore throat, diseased lung minister in which article Mr. lilton bints very lareelv unon this point. But, I now ask, what is necessary? And 1 reply, good judgment, which is the result of correct instruction, given thereto, not only in regard to the use of the voice and training cf the propex nju.lfiiut. jnjeajlaa.,0 rich indigestable food and dissipation in late suppers is a curse to tho hu man race to thoso who thus indulge, affecting the third and lourth genera tions after. And the injury is aug mented. as a rule, in proportion to the physical habits, whether they ba sedentary cr active. Ladies have much loss physical exercise than men, too little for their own good. And what i3 a greater cursa than this, is tight dressing, which 1 have hinted at before. Singing is a healthful exercise physically when the lung3 aro used properly. But this is a human (inhuman) impossibility when the dress interferes with the free expansion of the thorax and lungs, and tho proper muscles diaEhragm and aodominal are not rought into action. And nine-tenths of those who sing do not understand thi3. What is wanted? More direct personal instruction, and moro individual attention. The throat may be injured by too much contraction of those muscles, and over exercising them while in an abnormal condition. I repeat, more orthodox instruction is needed, and the same put in every day practice Singing with the proper cxerciso of tho lungs, and the right motive power, beiDg judiciously and understanding used, has been instrumental in keeping disease away from those sensitive vital organs in ninety-nine cases to one (in my opinion, without statistics for proof) who has experienced any injury. In fact I doubt if one person, even, was ever injured by vocal practice when paying due attention io physical laws. H. S. Pebkins. The Religious Interest. The interest in the various churches of the city continues to increase. Yesterday morning the daily prayer meeting was" very largely attended, and the people did not disperse until nearly 11 o'clock. The union meeting, under the direction of the llev. Mr. Hammond, at Wesley Chapel, last evening, was again largely attended. Fully two hundred children and young women and men arose in tho congregation to ask for prayers, or to publicly testify that they had been converted during the past week. In no preceding meeting of this scries have we noticed so many persons rise who were beyond childhood. The means U3ed are manifestly beginning to reaoh the adults. . In the Columbia Street Presbyterian Church, in Newport, last night, alter the sermon of llev. Mr. Chester, Of this city, one young man in the audience made an attempt to leave the house, but before he reached the door ho reconsidered his determination, retraced his steps, and asked the Christians ia the congregation to pray for him. His example was followed by twenty-eight persons, the larger number of whom had publicly expressed a desire of this kind in no preceding meeting. It is new thought that fifty will bo admitted to this church at tho communion service next Sunday. When it is known that the church two weeks ago numbered but sixty or seventy members, it can be seen how, -at such times, a church may bo born in a day, Tho character of the manifestation last Sunday was alluded to yesterday, but tho details, as we receive them, swell the cumbers interested, and furnish stronger evidence of the general and deep naturejof the work than was then indicated, In Grace -Methodist Episcopai Church, in Newport, Kev. Granville Moody received twenty-eight probationers, making eixty-four during the past eight days. In saveral of the Methodist
