'correspondent of the St. Louis Republican gives some par a tienlars Itbont the German lnp tists known as Hie Dunkers, who have been holding their annuiil nntional confe.ence : " They teach the doctrine of general redemp tion through our Lord Jesns Christ, and .hold that msm is a free moral ajjent. Thev also be heve in the doctrine of infant sal vationvbut their leading bishops have not decided at what time in life 'accountability';' begins. They believe that Christian regenera tion will exhibit itself externally, and hence on-becoming members of the church tlvey rejiouuce the pom ana vanities or me worm, mnnifesting their belief by plain ncrs and uniformity of dress, both men and women ; hence in all the assembly- none of the sisters? exhibited any llounces, furbelows or jewelry, but instead are attired in plain modest colors, many of them in calico, 'and alj, both old and young; wear sun bonnets which, they remove w.hile in church, each ot;e having on her head a plain cap of Swiss muslin, made after the style of our great grandmothers. The' men -wear the. style of dnss usually adopted by the Quakers, and ; in meeting a brother "salute by shaking the hand and driving the kiss of bio therly love. In their moral tenets th'ey are opposed to bearing arms, and will hot resort to the law to collect a debt. When a brother is unfor tunate financially, they render him assistance, and never permit any of their members to be sup ported by county or State chari ties; are opposed to all secret so cio! ies and will not receive, any oneinto membership who belongs to them. Do not allow members to make contracts with persons, either members or otherwise of the church, which they cannot till. Any member found guilty of this subjects himself to disci pline of the church. Preach tem perance in eveiy thing, ard pro hibit their members from dealing in or manufacturing ardent spirits. Counsel their brethren not to hold office or to vote, es pecially in time of war, and ad vise, not to vote or take any - in- terest in State or political affairs, and suggest to the brethren not to read political papers, on the plea that it has a tendency to lead their minds astray on religious matters. Their annual confer ence is held alternately east and west of the Ohio river, beginning on Pentecost day, which is the seventh Sunday from Easter. The principal churches of this denomi nation are located in the States of Pennsylvania, Virginia, Xorth Caroliua, Ohio, Maryland, Dela ware, New Jersey, Indiana. Illi- no1,s MicniSan, Minnesota, Idalio, vyctinwnn.i, xuit, xrKaiidas, jan sas, Oregon, Colorado, and Mis souri, with a scattering member ship in the extreme Southern and Xew England States, but no church organizations, the largest body being in Miaraa Valley, Ohio. J As to the number of member ship, it is impossible to give any thing more than an approximate estimate, they holding the doc trine that the Scripture forbids the numbering of the brethren. Their ministry is divided into three classes, the first being teach ers or exhorters, and advanced when found worthy to the author ity to perform the marriage rite, and eventually to the office of bisTiop, by the lying on of hands. They receive no salary, but accept what the brethren voluntarily bestow, and are at liberty to se lect, with consent of the "church, their field of labor. Members are received by vote, and only by trine immersion, and are not per mitted to partake of the sacra ment with any other religious de nomination. Thev consider mar nage by an officer of the civil law as valid; are law-abiding citizens, except where the civil law conflicts with their views of the Bible doctrine, in which case they prefer to suffer the penalties rather, than sacrifice their religi ous belief. They observe the Lord's Supper in the ancient man ner, by washing the feet and kiss of brotherly love. The churches are at liberty to observe this ordi nance six times during the year, or. oulvcnce, as they may elect. Industry on the part of its men hers is strictly required, and all lazv, indolent members soon find there is no support for them if able-bodied." In his speech -accepting the Republican nomination for re election to Congress in the' Ninth district of Massachusetts, lion. Geo. F. Hoar said : tl I do not cleny that errors, have been made by the Republican par ty, but it is only admitting that errors have been made by a ma jority of the American people, and those who declare that the Repub lican party is ..corrupt only declare tiiat a mojarity of the American people are corrupt. Some things have been done which ought not to have been done, some things which should have been done have been left undone. In my opinion one of the. greatest errors was committed wtfen universal suflv rage was given the people that universal education was not im posed with it. I do not contend that education is atmnaeea for all evils, or that knowledge is to cast out all evil purposes when reli- srion itself fails. liut I do sup pose that the -great truth upon which Massachusetts is founded as on a rock should not be disre garded in the reconstruction of the South. I think it a mistake that Congress rlid not declare to the States that; to be admitted there must bea complete system of education, and that it would have been wise economy' if one or two hundred million dollars had been expended for the pur pose of educating the people of the South. He then - referred to his Education bill Which passed the House, biit failed in the Sen ate, was introduced again at the present Congress, but owning to the panic, had been deferred till next winter, when it has the pri ority of all other business from day to day until disposed of. We desire, he continued, to secure honesty and purity in the admin istration of government Great uueasiness has prevailed, mauy charges, some of them just, have been honored by the Republican party with its confidence. This is what has always followed a great war, and what persons fami liar with political history predict ed as the war approached its close. No partyjjean retain power for twenty years without attract ing to it persons who join it for their own selfish edns; camp-followers, jobbers,? office-hunters, moiety-men men who "mean to make politics pay." The; Re publican party must deal with them, and is trying to deal with them as well as it can. Do r you think our Democratic opponents likely to have escaped better than we have in this regard ? The Republican party is the majority of the American people, and to say that the Republican party is corrupt is to declare that the American people is corrupt.; To say that we cannot remedy! this evil is to declare the republic it self a failure. I, for one, do not despair. England, a ration with institutions so nearly like I our own that she has been called a "repuoiic noopeuy has gone through a tar worse experience. Not many generations ago an election in England was a contest between two men of wealth, which could pay the largest sum for the votes of the constituents. Yet bribery at elections has there almost wholly been suppressed. Nor was the represntaiives in Parliament. himselfman of rank, majt of culture, man of honor though he claimed to be,-better than the constituent. Mr. Dis raeli, a short time ago, stated in the House ot Commons that the time waSj when at the close of everv session of Parliament the Chancellor of the Exchequer took his place below the bar and gave a 500 to each member as he went out who had voted steadily with the government through the session. Some one called out " You mean Sir Robert TFalpole." "No," said Mr. Disraeli, "Jong after Robert Walpole. Long after the close of the American war." Now if England, with all the ten- dency of an aristocracy7 toward corruption, has extirpated a prac tice which existed in such gross form within the memory of living men, so thai corruption in Par liament is there almost unknown, surely the American people need find no difficulty. Profitable Z?olilctscss. The Boston Traveller, in com menting on the prevalence of rudeness, tells the folllowing in cident thtt happened some years ago: There was a -very plainly dressod, elderly lady, who ,was a frequent customer at the then leading dry goods store in Boston No one in the stoi e knew her even by name. All the clerks but one avoided her and gave their atteii; jtion to those wno were better dressed, and more pretentious. The exception was a young man who had a consciencious regard for system. Ife never left another customer to wait on the lady, but when at liberty he waited on her with as much attention as thongh she had been a princess. This continued a vear or two, until the young man became of age. One morning the lady approached the young man, when the. following conversation took place : Lady " Young man, do you wish to go into business for your self?" V ' 44 Yes, ma'am," he responded, 44 bnf I have neither money, cred it, nor friends, nor will any one trust me." 44 Well," continued the lady, 44 you go and select a good situa tion, ask what the rent is and re port to me," hauding the young man her address. Theyoung man went, found a capital location, a lood store, but the landlord re quired security, which 'he could not give. Miudfnl of the lady's request he forthwith went to her and reported. 44 Well," she replied, "yon go and tell Mr. that I will be responsible." He went, and the landlord or agent was surprised, but the bar gain was closed. The next day the lady called to ascertain the result. The young man told her, but added, " What am I to do for goods? No one will trust me.". " You may go and see Mr. , and Mr. 7, and Mr. , and tell them to call on me." ' lie did, and his store was soon stocked with the best goods in the market. There are many in the city who remember the circum stance and the man. He died many years since, and left a for tune of 300,000. So much for politeness, so much" for civilty, and so much for treating one's elders with the deference due to age, in whatever 1 garb they are clothed. - How to Catcli Men. Christ taught His Apostles to become fishers of men, and it is the office of religious men and women to reclaim those who have faiieu, and bring them into right) relations with themselves and their God, as well as to save from falling those iutrusted to their charge. Would they prove them selves mediators between men and their Maker, let them bait their hooks with true Godliness ; let them tive circumspect lives ; let them practice what they preach. Men ace easily caught ; indeed, very many, if not most men, would verv soon reform and pursue the. right, when gently aided by kind admonitions, and when the real Gospel is so pre sented as to make the way seem clear for their acceptance. Man seeks happiness ; nideed, happi ness is the end of his existence. He prefers to be in normal or right relations, and it is only through r-ERVEKsiox, or a wrong use ot good faculties and powers, that he becomes fallen and cor rupt. Inherited, of course. How could it be otherwise when the blood, hone, ana muscle every fibre of a father's being is per meated by foul poisons, or of cor rupting diseases ? Of course, 44 he was born so." The thing for us to do is, first of all, purify our selves, then to catch and trv to save others. Phrenological Jour nal. When I was a boy there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our vil lage on the west bank of the Mis sissippi river. That was to be a steamboat-man.- We had tran sient ambitions .of other sorts, but they were only transcient. When a "circus came and went it left us all burning to become clowns; the first negro -minstrel J show that came to oursection left us all suffering .to try that kind of life ; now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit lis to be pirates. These ambitions faded out, each hi its turn ; but the anir bition to be a steamboatman remained.- Mark Twain, in tli At lardic. - Tiie Western ZIo Crop. The Cincinnati Price Current prints full statistics of the pork pack ing trade of the Wast for the present season. The aggregate packing to date3 langing between December 9th and 16th at various points, is 1,190, 000 head against 1,097,000 last;sea son, an increase of 93,000. In six rn-incipal cities, the packing to De cember lGth is 2,010,000 against 2, 070.000 last year. The total &r the year will aggregate about 3,400,000 against 3,280,000 last year, an in crease of 120,000. Mr. Davenport, the United States commissioner of elections in New York, refers, in a published letter of his to the World; to a democratic precinct in that city which in ' oiT yearF, when there are no United States officers to watch it, polls or returns 375 votes ; but in the years when there are congressmen to elect, and the United States court author izes election supervisors to be ap pointed, polls or returns only fcrty six to fifty four votes.
