Meetino for Sufferings. The Yearly Meeting of Friend3, held in this city, on the 30th of September last, appointed a committee from its Meeting for Sufferings, consisting of Wm. Parry, Jason Evans, Seth Furnas, and Robert Hatton, to attend a meeting, formed by similar committees from all the Yearly Meetings throughout the United States, in connection with this branch of the Society

of Friends, held at Baltimore on the 27th nit. William Cain and Cornelius RatlifT, together with their wives, went on to attend this meeting. The object of thi3 meeting is to consult together in regard to the condition of the Indians, and to endeavor to devise some measures to alleviate their condition. Colfax's '.Lecture. On Wednesday last, our citizens gave Hon. Schuyler Co:.ax a hearty welcome to Richmond meeting him at the depot, and escorting him to the Huntington House, preceded by the Richmond Band. When opposite the Public School House on Fifth-street, not less than a thousand pupils greeted the popular Speaker of the House of Representatives, and raised their voices in glad cheers of welcome to the man who will yet reach a position in the Government higher than that which he now fills with so much credit to himself and honor to the countr'. Arrived at the Huntington House, T. W. O. Bbaffett, welcomed Mr. Colfax, in a brief and appropriate speech, to which Mr. C. responded stating the object of his visit to be to Lecture for the benefit of the Soldiers' treasury, and he urged all to contribute to this noble object the relief of the Widows and Orphans of those brave men who had given their lives that the Nation might live, and to assist those who had been rendered helpless by the loss of limbs and health in their country's service. Phillips Hall, was crowded with our citizens it was, by far, the largest au dience ever before assembled in that Hall on any occasion, and to say they were merely gratified at being taken by Mr. Colfax, "Across the Continent," in one-nour ana-a-naii, wouia not ex press the full meaning of the feelings of his delighted auditors towards him, for the happy speech-vehicle in which he transported them. It was completely and entirely satisfactory in every way, and Schuyler Colfax, has added a host of warm friends and admirets in this city, to his immemerable list throughout the United States, by his inimitable elo quence, and a life long devotion to the the principles of Right and Justice. God bless him 1 After the Lecture, the Richmond Band, gave him a serenade, and he spoke a few words to the large crowd assem bled in front of his hotel telling them that he had determined to do all in his power to carry out to a successful ter mination, the glorious work inaugurated by our martyred President, Lincoln, the reconstruction of the Union on the basis of justice. The nett receipts, we understand, of the Lecture, is exactly Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars. Union Prayer Meetings, Y, M. C. A. At the Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of the United States and British Provinces, held at Montreal, June 18G7, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved. That the Associations of the United States and British Provinces, be recommended by this convention, to set apart the second Lord'8 Day in November next, and the evenings of the week commencing on that day, for especial prayer for the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit on the members of the Young Men's Christian Association of the world, and. for the increased efficiency of these agencies for the salvation of young men." With a view to carry out the object of the above resolution, a series of Union Prayer Meetings tinder the direction of the Young Men's Christian Association of Richmond, Ind., with the co-operation and assistance of the various churches, will be held in this city, as follows: At Friends' Fifth street Meeting House, next Sabbath afiern-on at 4 o'clock.

A cordial invitation is expended to all of our citizens bt every class and condition, to attend those meetings, and especially do we want the support and prayers of the Christian people of our city for the success of our cause. All the evening meetings will commence at precisely half past seven and continue one hour, except Friday evening at Union Chapel, which will commence at seven o'clock. On behalf of the Association.

For the Palladium. "Are these Things So?"

Ens. Palladium: A correspondent in your paper of 31st, asks this question in reference to some statements said to have been made by the writer at the late Christian Convention held at Indianapolis. The reporter for the Cincinnati Gazette, has not, in several respects, correctly represented my remarks but the facts are such as to raise the inquiry in every Christian heart, "Are these things so?" and if so, "what can I do to remedy them?" I am not surpris ed that many honest and worthy persons, (pro fessed Christians, too,) whose attention has not been called to the wickedness and irreligion which abounds, should doubt its existence; and the calm and temperate style of your correspondent gives evidence that he, in common with a large mass of the religions professors, have but little idea of the actual state of things around them. If the inquiry set on foot by my remarks, should cause this class of persons to turn their attention to the subject and seriously and prayerfully to ask "Lord what wilt thou have me to do?'' the writer will feel that his remarks have not been in vain. The remarks at the Convention were made in the course of an interesting discussion, as te the religious condition of the country, and the writer distinctly stated that Richmond no doubt contained as large a proportion of religious pro fessors and as high a standard as to morality and virtue, as any other city in the State, but that here, after an examination, out of about 200D families enquired of, there wa3 found not quite 600, the heads of which were members of some Christian church. The writer has the host evidence to believe ykt, that the statement is substantially correct; at least tho facts were learned from actual inquiry and a careful account kept of the result. The question is not as to duty of joining some religious society, but as to the fact whether or not such connection does exist. 2d. In reference to the supply of Scriptures, out of the families inquired of, including all in the city suburbs, without regard to wealth or position, 279 were found without a copy of the Bible. That th.s is a fact thuee can be o doubt. Tho exact residence of those dssti tute, was furnished to the writer and 274 have been supplied with Bibles and Testaments; a very few have purchased and paid in full; a few in part, and the remainder have been sup plied gratuitously by the Bible Association of Friends. If your correspondent will call on the writer, he can be supplied with such facts as will set this beyond doubt. Nor is this so remarkable as your correspondent imagines; the i esult of such inquiries by the Agents of the American Bible Society in different parts of the land, would show an average destitution quite as great. It may ba added that in the examination in R chmond, all who had a Catholic Bible were marked as being supplied, the object not being to excite denominational prejudices, but to learn facts. 3d. In regard to the numbsr of persons "who attend church," the statement was not as to the number "who are in the habit, more or less, of attending church services," but as to the number who actually do attend on a given Sabbath. The writer stated that the avesaor attendance at all our places of worship, on a Sabbath morning, was not over 3030. Is not this correct? If your correspondent will take his pencil and barn from some reliable person the actual avebaob attendance, at each place of worship, and add all together, he will find that it will fall short of, rather than overrun 30G0. I do not propose in this article to discuss the question as to the cause of this; if your correspondent had been present at the Convention, he would have heard this subject fully canvassed, and one object of the Convention was to devise a remedy. Richmond is not worse than other places in thi3 respect probably better but the facts are incontestable. The wiiter in the course of his remarks in the Convention, in order to show that a class of persons who do not attend religious meetings, and some even who are far in sin, may be reached by personal effort, mentioned some striking cases which had occurred in Richmond the reporter has not correctly stated them and your correspondent asks very doubtfully "who" they are. If he is, as I take him to be, a candid and honorable person, and will call on the writer, he can take him to the persons and they will agree to all the facts which were really stated. ' I regret that my good friend should feel, "that the reputation of our city has been wantonly stabbed;" although not "the place of birth" of the writer, for more than 33 years it has been his place of residence his love for it is strong, and he yields to none in earnestness of desire for its prosperity and growth, both in numbers and "in religion and morals,'' but the first step towards improvement, either in individuals or communities, must be a discovery of their actual coalition. If iu such research, matters are found not to be in good condition, let all who love the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, labor earnestly for improvement, and with the blessing of God, the existence of so muct evil may be removed, and the statistics improved. C F. C. 11th mo., 2d, 1867. "Another Richmond in the Field." Since Judge Johnson has been, spoken I of as a probable candidate for Congress in this District, we have heard several of the friends of Luther M. Mering, of this city, speaking of him as a candidate He is every way worthy and well quali. fied, and we know of no one whom we could support more heartily than Luther.

If men are accounted benefactors, when, by their skill and energy, they cause two blades of grass to grow where one grew before, surely .the man who made the price of meat come down so that a poor man could buy lj pounds where he could not buy but one, is entitled to be thus considered. Go to "Fly Market" and buy your meat from the man who reduced the price of it, in spite of all combinations. Hurrah for Phil. Wiggins I

Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Bap tist Church, f biladelpbis. Gentleman : I have recently been laboring undor the distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hocfland'a German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters induced me to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines from the 'thousand and one" quack "Bitters, ' whose onlv aim seems to be to palm off sweetened anil dragged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation, I took it with happy effect. Its ac ion, not only upon the stomach, but upon the neivous system, was prominent and. gratifying. I feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yours, W.D. SEIGFRIED, o. 254 Shackamaxon Street. From the Rev. E. D. Fandali; Assistant Editor Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia. I have derived decided benefit from the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, and' feel it my privilege to recommend them as a most valuable tonic, to all who are suffering from general debility or from diseases arising from derangement of the liver. Yours truly, E. D.FENDALL. From Rev. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist Church, Philadelphia. From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, I was induced to give then a trial. After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy for debility, tnd a most excellent tonic for the stomach. D. MERRIGE. From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vincentown and Millville (N. J.,) Baptist Churches. Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoofland's German I Hters, I have to say that I regard them as an exot, at medicine, especially adapted to remove the discr es they are recommended for. They strengthen at.d invigorate the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of appetite, Ac. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them greatly beneficial in the restoration of health. Yours truly, WM. SMITH, 966 Hutchinson St.,Philada.
