Guided, as I trust, by the most solemn convictions of duty and humbly looking to Gol for mercy, I offer my resignation as Hector of the Church of the Holy Innocents, to take effect on Tuesday in Easter Week, A. D. 1870. Sfbuille Bubford, Hector. To the Church Wardens and Vestrymen - of the Church of tho Holy Innocents, KvauHVlile, Ind. To the Congregation of the Church of the Holy Innocents. Dearly Beloved In the Loid: Tuesday in Easter Week, 1870, will witness the close A. of D. my pastorate among you. liest assured it has cost me no small struggle to reaoh this conclusion. As your first Rector, I feel that the ties which have bound us together cannot bs sundered without the deepest regret and unfeigned sorrow, on ray part. I stood in the chancel of this beautiful Memorial Church, when the llight Keverend Father in God, receiving it as a loving gift from generous and noble Christian hearts, consecrated it to the honor and glory of a Triune God. Ever since that happy day, I have gone in and out belore you as your unworthy onerd. liut now. A3 1 am called ; tiock in a distac sure you that in affection I shall and perpetual v Especially d,:to feed another -ioccsc, let mo asiirit and yearning .id you in pleasant aory. to my heart, must aom the Holy Spirit humble ministrations. those ever be. I At V .... nas, inrougu iuy led to renew tl. solemn votes of Holy Baptism, and then, for the first time, to receive the blessed Communion of tlus Body a, i f Blood cf our Lord Jesus Christ, T hereby alone wo obtain remission cf c ur sins, and are made partakers o'. tho Kingdom of Heaven. Beloveds lot iny farewell council be, that ye ' stand fast in the liberty, wherewith Christ has made you free." " Hold fast the form of sound words, and the good profession you have made befors many witnesses." ltemember how the Great Shepherd has said, " He that continueth to tin end shall be saved. "Bo strong and of a ffood courage and the Lobd, He it is that doth go before thee. Should God's providence ever permit me to re-visit you, nothing will give me greater happiness than to behold you continuing to follow "Christ as dear children," in the beautilul ways of His Church to see you not only an undivided Parish, but greatly ineieised in love tor the Master, stronger in numbers, working zealously for the salvation of souls. But, should such a crivileee be denied me, may I not reasonably hope to hear of yo r atfairs that "yestana iasi in one .ir7, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel, ileceive your next Hector with the amo warm love and confidence with which you have blessed your first Hector. And, now in bidd'mg you an ojtecdonate farewell, I shall ever humbly pray "O God, Holy Ghost, Sanotilier of the Faithful, visit this congregation with thy love and favor; enlighten their minds more and more with the light of the everlasting gospel; graft in their hearts a leve of the truth; increase in them true religion; nourish them with all goodness; and of thy great mercy keep them in the same, O, blessed Spirit, whom with the Father and the Son together we worship and glorify as one God, world without end. Amen. Your friend and pastor in Christ Jesus, Spbuille Bubford. Twenty-third day of Lent, A. I). 1870. Rev. Mr. Ioote, a missionary of the Episcopal Church, at Salt Lake, is now at the East seeking aid for Bishop Tuttle's Mission at that city. During the entire tkree years since Bishop Tuttle's arrival, he aad his clergy have been, (and still are,) the only Christian Ministers at work in the territory. Bishop Tuttle found two communicants, and twenty-five others professing and calling themselves Christians, and these surrounded by persecution and treated as outcasts by the Mormons. One hundred and six persons have since been baptised. A Sunday School has been established with one hundred and thirty-five pupils, and a day school with two hundred scholars. Three young men formerly Mormons, are .now studying for the ministry of tho .Epis. copal Church. Tite New Haven Palladium gives tho following statistic!?, showing the relative increase of tho Evangelical Churches of that city and Hartford during tho last nine year?. It shows

that in the Puriian city cf Nevr Ha-: ven the Congregational Churches Lave gained only two per cent., while the Episcopal Church had gained twenty-five per cent. In , Hartford the Ooogregatioaal Church had lost five per cent., and the Episcopal

Church had gained twenty per cent. In the entire State of Connecticut duricg the same period the increase of the Congregational Churches had been less than five per cent.,whilo the increase of communicants in the Episcopal Church had been about forty-five per cent. The writer accounts for the fact, in part, ly the altered state of public culturo and taste. In contrast with our mode of worship," he says, "the greater part of the Episcopal Church service consists-of reading scripture, either by the minister or people, responsivey, praying, chanting and singing the praises of God. With us the princi pal part of our Church servico is the sermon, and, as a general rule, the less there is of the gospel in it, the greater satisfaction it gives." TELE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Opinions of ilie Ii-ch. The Deniocrary Quiescent! We deem it proper to lay before our readers the opinions of tho Press with reference to the validity of the Fif teenth Amendment, including some ot the ablest or tne uemocralie pa pers. We think our Democratic friends in EvaDsvillo will conclude that it will be best to accept the situa. tion as philosophically as the Louis ville Courier Journal. Our main ob ject in making these quotations is to convince the Democracy of Evans ville of the supreme folly of attempt iog to resist the Constitution of the United States: From the Louisville Courier-Journal ' "Ratified. The 6word of Damo cles, bo long suspended, has fallen at last; but as the country has been nretty well prepared to receive the blow, it is tot likely to be greatly shocked by it. We may regard the message which the President sent to Congress yesterday as sufficienty final in its way. The protests of Mr. Wood, on behalt of New xork. and Mr. Niblack, on behalf of Indiana, will go for nothing. They were doubtless meant only to gain time, and if they effect so little, they will do more than we expect them to do. To all intents and DurDOses the job is done, and it is quite idle to consider it in any other asnect. Yet. reviewing tho progress of the struggle over the Fifteenth Amend ment irom its inception to the present hour, wo cannot but resret the error which led the Democratic lead ers to misconceive tho question and to mistreat it from first to last. Its suffrage feature was neither its worst feature nor its weakest feature. The Amendment, as wo have said, is revolutionary. Tho appliances which have coerced its ratification are revolutionary. Uunder tho pre cedent set by tho Amendment itself. and sufficiently proven by tho medi tatcd legislation, and by aid of the machinery which, if it did not create it at least perfected, almost any, nay, any and every sort of partisan license may bo perpetrated hereafter by Congress. But, no matter how we may deny the validity of the ratification, or question the wisdom and purity of the measuro, tec cannot contest its power. Jt is, to all intents andpurposes, an organic lay) of the land, and will be enforced as such. Moreover the Democratic party elements were divided either by their opinions or by their necessities. Many very able Democratic leaders in the North saw the matter as we saw it. The entire South had been forced to accept it by circumstances, and all of us know that circumstances aro as effectual as volition itself when they happen to be strong enough, as they were in this case. Practically, therefore, in the South, universal suffrage meant the enfranchisement of white men and an increased ratio of representation in Congress. The negro bad already got his share of the ballot-box. It seemed only fair that a bad principle applied to tho South should be applied also to the North, and that the Northern States, having forced nero suffrage on the Southern States, should bo forced, through a necessity created by themselves, to take it for better or worse, as they might find it. B'rom the Cincinnati Commercial. That this is the law of the land is no more doubtful than that the American llepublio exists. This is the consequence of the war, and terminates tho conflict, with the inauguration ot poetic justice in constitutional equality. Congress may proceed with the "appropriate legislation." Wo expect a rapid, general and cheerful aequiesence in the right of black men to exercise the elective franchise, and that very soon the bitter prejudices against that class of citizens, and the injustice that has been done them, will be as much matter of surprise as of regret. Ao legislation by Congress or the State is required here to confirm the rights of colored citizens. They will, on Monday next, vote icithout objtc tion and without inqxiriy as to their par' entage. Experts will not be in demand, as heretofore, to determine to the fraction the amount of colored blood that the veins of a citized contain. We may expeot that the newly enfranchised people will receive a vast amount of good advice, and that they will enter upon tho discharge of tneir responsible duties as citizens duly impressed with the gravity of the situation, and abounding in excellent intentions. From the Cincinnati Gazette, Gist. There will be no more quibbling, no more surmising as to tho time the Fifteenth Amendment will go into effect. 2'7t official proclamation certifying to its ratification was issued yesterday, and to day (lie principle of universal manhood suffrage obtains throughout the nation. Before the high and sovereign authority of the national law, the local laws of every State givo way, and the colored man of Kentucky becomes entitled to the ballot equally with the colored man of Ohio or Massachusetts. Distinctions in regard to the ballot arising from "race, color, or previous condition of servitude," are done away with, and every man stands equal, not only before the law, but before the ballot box. Congress having passed an act admitting -Texas into the Union, and thisjiavbg been approved by the Prtstdent, the proclamation announcing the adoption of tho 15th Amend-

merit was yesterday issued. This will

enabio our colored teilow citizens to participate in tho election on Monday, and wo have no doubt they will bo careful to vote oa tho right side. They will, no doubt, voto solid, cr very nearly fo, for tho Republican city ticket, which is in everyway worthy tho support of all Republicans. The "pestiferous little Orange man," of tho Cincinnati Enquirer, is in a rage. lie says tho President, and Secretary of State have publicly pro claimed themselves liars, and adds: We need sot waste time in criticis ing this action. It will be sufficient. at present, to say that tho Fifteenth Amendment is no more a part ot tho Constitution to-day than it was a month ago. A Secretary of State a letter, or a President s proclamation, can not add an article to the fundamen tal law of tho nation, anymore than they can create an empire, or declare war. A number of men in the State House at Indianapolis indorsed tho Fifteenth Amendment some months sko: but. under the State constitu tion which requires three-fifths of all the members to make a quorum those persons constituted a mob, or a political caucus, perhaps; certainly not a Legislature. And the mongrel eanzs of negroes and other chicken thieves, who, under bayonet coercion, have assumed to pass upon the amend ment in the Southern States, were also mere usurpers. Officers of elec tion, to whom this last lying Procla mation of our mendacious Tresident may be presented as evidence of the right of negroes to vote, should treat it as a mere electioneering roorback, having no legal vitality whatever. Desperately Demoralized. The Courier is fearfully demoral ized. We know no other word that conveys an idea of its condiWe quote its two leading ediat all tion. rials, knowing that a large number of the Journal readers will other wise fail to realize the enjoyment we have experienced in them: The Fifteenth Amendment Its Ratification Its Effect. The long expected proclamation of Secretary Fish has appeared, and was published in the Courier yesterday, announcing tho ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment by twentv-nino States. In the number we observe that Indiana is counted. It is well known that the ratification by this State i3 fraudulent and voidable; but without counting Indiana the new article has secured the number of States, and military districts which ought to Ue sovereign States, necesary to insure its final ratification. It is to all intents and purposes a part of the supreme law of the land. In yesterday's Courier, the editor expressed the opinion that there woud be no attempt by the radicals of Evansville to vote the enfranchised negroes at the approaching Spring election. When we gave expression to that sentiment we were not adivsed that a private telegram had been received from Washington announcing that the work was perfect, with a view, of course, to our April election. But, understanding that such is the case, we are now disposed to "accept the situation" in view of the coming election. It the official notice of ratification and tho laws for the enforcement of tho new article are received ia time for next Monday's election, we suppose people will generally acquiesce. The additional artiole to the Federal Constitution read as follows: ACT. 15. Sec. 1. Too rights of citizens of ttie United States to vole shall not be denied or abridged by tbe United Stated or any Btaie ou account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Kkc. 'i. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. We are not advised that Congress has yet enforced the " article by appropriate legislation." In other words wo do not know of any law that baa been passed by Congress, to give this Amendment to tho Constitution practical force and effect. Certified copies cf such a law, passed by Congress, will bo necessary to give the Amendment validity, for without such a law, there would be no penalty provided for the refusal of a negro vote, or to punish illegal voting. Even the jurisdiction of the courts might be questioned. But that "appropriate legislation" will bo enacted speedily, there is no doubt. The hour has very nearly arrived when-we shall have to admit the colored man to the polls. He will vote by our sides; bit in our jury boxes; attend our public schools; sit at meat with tbe white man at hotel tables; will exercise the same rights accorded to white men upon steamboats and in railroad cars, and in all places of entertaiament and amusement. If he is refused thes3 privileges by those in charge, he will appeal to the courts, where his white adversary will be confronted by colored jurors, and in a little time by colored judges. This is the Fifteenth Amendment. We opposed the adoption of that Amendment with all the vigor, energy and talent we possessed. When wo saw that it was adopted we proposed to accept it as an accomplished fact in advance of the formal proclamation of the Secretary of State. For so doing we were denounced and derided by nino-tenths of the Democratic press of the State. Now, we must accept the accomplished fact WHETHER WE AVILL OR not 1 We are powerless in tho face of tho strong arm of the government to have it otherwise. The position the Courier took two months ago is our individual position to-day. We thought we were right then and we think so yet. In the management of a public newspaper, we do not believe that an editor should look only to the present, but that the great iuture should be held in view. But we acknowledge the right of the majority of our own party to control the sentiment of the party, and we shall never bo found factious. When the Courier fails in its whole strength, to uphold Democrats and Democracy, we shall merit Democratic censure and not before. It may be bestowed but it is undeserved. The Fifteenth Amendment ia adopted. If the laws requisite to enforce it have been passed, it ought to have a practical effect. Let the Republican party have the advantage that the Amendment will give them. It is their hard earned right. . In future Democrats will ot course understand that the negro is a voter. As a Democrat, we preferred not to stand in the pathway of his progress. The person that always seeks to enter the back door of a house is sometimes in danger of being kicked eut as an intruder I This applies to political parties, as well as to individuals. Democrats who live in communities where there-are very few, or no negro voters, may not sympathize with perBons who have hundreds of them on all sides I and hence they freely abuse those who are. not so fortunately situated as themselves.,. But they should remember the'oldadage, which is very true, that curses, ukc chickens, come Jiome to roost! Local victories

may exhilarate thtia for a' t'mc, but

Vyitn a continuous line ot general ucfeats tho party is paralyzed, and gradually it falls into decay. We shall, in obedience to what seems to bo tho Democratic ficniimcnt, not ask the negro to vole tho Democratic ticket. We leave bis courso to bo governed by his own judgment. Wc make no appeals. Wo ask no lavors. The Election Next Monday. The proclamation of Hamilton Fish, officially announcing tho ratification of tho 15th Amendment, will, we presume, occasion a result on Monday next, somewhat different from that which tho many friends of progress and reform have been lead to anticipate. If every Democrat comes to the polls and caets his vote, however. we may still hopo for a brilliant victory. This is manifestly the duty cf every Democrat and Conservative vo ter in 1'iVansvilIe. It would be worse than idle quietly to fold our arms and give the government of the city into the hands of the Radicals, merely because a new element has been added to our voting population. The fact that the radical vote is likely to bo increased by the accession of two or three hundred voters, is no reason why white men, whose fathers before them, have alwavs controlled the government, should deliberately yield the radical carty an uncontested vie tory. The principles of the Demo cratic party have always been, and al ways will be the surest retreat for the poor and oppressed, lhey are found ed on the principles of free govern ment and their strict observance by men of all parties and every color, is the only satcguard to the republican form or government bequeathed us by our fathers. This has always been the creed of .Democrats, and yet we have heard earnest men of the party say that they do not intend to vote, now that the negroes aro enfranchised I Do they, then, in tend tamely to surrender this city into the hands of the colored men Is it their purpose to entrust the city government to tbe Radical candidates for Council to men who. it is uni versally conceded, are totally incom peteut merely because of prejudice against the colored race? Is it true that large property-holders and tax payers are willing to subject their property to the control of men who could not hopo to be elected without the accession of this new voting ele ment, and who cannot be elected even now except through the apathy and xndijjerence of our own peo pier Such poltroonery and coward ice would be a disgrace even to Women I Let that Democrat who fails to do his whole duty on Monday next rest assured in the consolation that he has cast a half vote in favor of the radical policy which he affects to despise 1 Let him not grumble over heavy taxes imposed upon his prop erty by men elected by colored voters, if he has failed to go to the polls and vote the Democratic ticket 1 If, as many men of both parties think, the addition of an uneducated race to our votinar population is fraught with dan ger to the Republic, let them lean on the imperishable and enduring prin ciples of democracy over the gulf.
