-Dustrrurion AND HELP.—Citizens
and Christians! are you aware of the
istence of a Society among us, ‘whose
object is to help the needy and relieve
the distressed? Before going to hear
the mbring discourse on this Sabbath
day, revolve the fact in your minds
-that.sach a Society has been silently
‘bestéwitig its alms during more than a
_ year, arid ask yourselves if youare members 6f fhat benevolent institution. We
preserit this matter for your Sunday
morning’s meditations. Think not if
. you are comfortably fed and clothed
that all others are so. While you are
enjoying every Viessing, some of your
‘melghbors are pinched. with want and
sunk in despondency. It is not the
part of philanthropy to see the helpless
. in distress without trying to afford relief, nor-does it evince nobility of soul
to pass by on the other side, leaving to
& few good Samaritans the care of those
ne : organized on the 23d of January, 1867.
"It has been kept up so far by the exertions and contributions of'a few individ.
mals, and has not becomea charge upon }
the whole community able to pay, as
it ought to be. Some districts of the
“ity liave been” well canvassed, while
_.. in_others, after repeated trials, none
have been found ready or willing to solicit contribuiting members to tho Society. Encouraged, however, by the
goodness of the cause, the méiiibers of
the Society have gone on and for more
than a year have endeavored with the
_ limited means at their disposal, to give
_-. hope and succor to all the distressed
_ who came to their notice. During that
time there have bven collected and dis—
_-__bursed more than four hundred dollars.
_» Fifty-five cases of destitution have been
relieved, and sixteen persons beside
_. their families ‘have felt the upholding
arm of the Society. That it has done
good commensurate, with its ability,
~ none Know better than the officers of
the Society who have visited the houses
of the distressed, except those who
have been the beneficiaries. But the
Society should be general, Every part
of the city should contribute to its support. Every person who is able to do
_ 80 should be a contributing and acting
member, that its sphere of usefulness
__.» may be enlarged, and the pleasure of
relievmg the needy be experienced by
every generous heart alke.
_ A few officers and members of tle
Society met on Friday evening to discuss the propriety of disbanding the ormt
that but a few were undertaking to relieve the poor,while co-operation should
come from all, and a whisper had been
~~ heard that not a shilling came from the
hands of any member of one: political
party, while nearly every dollar had
gone to aid the devotees of that party
. The complaints may be, an
_ ate, mainly well founded, yet the Socie~
~~ $y was organized on a purely. benevolent basis, and can take no cognizance
of the political opinions of its members
_. orbeneficiaries. It must, however, be
‘plain that when men who are able
refuse to give a cent for benevolent purposes, and',the curious fact should be
disclosed that they all recognize the
same political bond, while the coincidence should be observed that the large
majority needing assistance are of the
same faith, deprecatory remarks cannot
well be prevented, and some with the
best intent will refuse to longer contribute, unless a broader liberality is manifested by the whole community.
The whole matter was discussed in a
catholic spirit by the members of the
_ Society in attendance on Friday eve_ ‘ming, and though some of them went
~~ with the view of arranging the business
of the Association so as to disband,

have your sympathy, and are you ready
to ¢o-operate with the objects of the
Association? ‘These are proper questions to ask one’s self on Sunday morning, or any hour. during the week. (A
decision is wanted. Two classes are
deeply interested, the sympathetic and
those needing sympathy and assistance,
BeaTEeN.—In vulgar parlance, “Pendieton’s goose is cooked.” Belmont
have determined that the masses of the
party shall have no say in the nomination of a candidate: It is undoubtedly
true that a majority of the party want:
Pendleton, but Belmont is Chairman ot
the National Committe and a large
holder of government stocks, He don’t
like Pendleton’s system of finances and,
will not snffer him to be a candidate.—
Tt is needless to say that Pendleton
would have been nominated if the Convention had been held in any Western
State. The managers knew this and
therefore called it at New York. This
announcement’ means the defeat of the
Democratic pet.

identified with their party. It is stated
on authority that the effort will be
son, he having proved himself worthy
by his administration, The Demoeratic
journals have much to say about Radical bondholders, while they seem to‘be
blind to the fact that the Democratic
bondholders are getting the control of
their own organization, for thé purpose
of beating their favorite for the Presideney, ”

THE TownsHip Lixe—Numerous
inquiries have Been made by persons
owning lots in this city, as to whether
their property is included in the gov—
ernment survey on file in the Clerk’s
Office. As the city is not marked off in
streets and lots on that map it is difficult for many to tell, There is, however, a large map of the town in the
City Marshal’s office, on which every
lot and street is laid out. County Sur—
survey on this map; and all property
holders may easily_ascertain by reference to it whether they are included in
the government survey or not. All
property west of ‘the line is included in:
the survey. :
New REVENvE Law.—Schenck, from
the Committee of Ways and Means,
reported in the House of Representatives a bill for the relief of certain exporters of distilled spirits. After explaining the bill, Schenck went on to
give the House inforniation as to business before the Committee of Ways and
Means. The present tax laws he said,
were-prolix, contradictory and full of
repetitions, and, in fact, such a mass of
crude legislation that it had beenthought advisable to report an entire
revision of the whole system, with alj
its provisions. The Committee are now
at work preparing a bill of that kind,
and he hoped to report in a week or
two. The Committee ed to imfactures, except, perhaps, five or six
articles-‘and those pnrely articles of luxury. ae
Tur Tax LEvY.—The Board of Supervisors yesterday made a formal levy
of taxes in order to comply with the
law, but the rateg,will be changed as
the State tax has not yet been levied.

THE Senate on Friday passed resolutions censuring the President and indofsing the course of Congress, and
ordefed the Governor to telegraph them
to Wade and Colfax.
ON motion of Hager of the Senate, a
special committee of five was appointed
to investigate the uffairs of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company.
“Yue IMPEACHMENT.—The. Herald’s
special states that it is believed in
Washington that a two-thirds vote
against the President will be obtained
in the Senate. It. is also stated that
