It ia presunttd that every one who goes to a elmreh on Sunday, or any other lime when put lie worship ia hold, does ao for tho purpose of worshiping God ; i f paj ing that adoration to the Great Rub of all things, which ia tho ono ubj c of religion. If, hy our notion*, w wo allow that this presumption a wrong one, and that wo have othur motives in view when wo visit tho wed temple, wo not only defy tin Author of our being, but distract tlm attention of others and make lull el ing |i"ople wish that we would either reform or stay at home. A promi nout feature of this ill conduct ia the habit of turning tho back virtually, if not literally, upon tho pulpit, and star ing in the fuco of persona occupying prwa in the rear. What is gained by ho disagreeable a practice is not known; that it ia couirury to religion ja morally certain. Many parties, pc liapa, who follow the habit do so In < losjly, but there are others uouuubt edly aware of what they are doing, —.1 : that it adds to their UU port an cc. That this is a gvuvu evvov wo need not tell thinking people. L ist year wo opened our uvea and months to marvel over tho immensity of tho California wheat crop, and this year wo are atill further astounded by tho information that the crop of 187G will be more than doubled. The area uuiU r cultivation is upwards of *2,000, 000 acr<8, 100,000 ams more than last year, and the yield is extrnordi- uarlv tine. The total crop ia estimated at a rniimmim figure of 35,000,000, blishelu, leaving *25,000,000 bushels for export-—neatly twice the amount that California has ov«m furuidud for exportation, moiv Ilian nil the nut of the United Stutet exported last year and twice as much us Russia exported from her great grain districts on the Danube. California’s gold yield in a mere t title compared with this shower of golden grain. Mr. I. C.

A NEW IMIITY. Tho Atlanta CAnstHution says it begins to look ns if llm farmers of the West intend to take an active and de cidedly independent part in tho coin ing campaigns. On Wednesday of last week tho Illinois and Indian i fa run ih met in invention!) ; in Kansas they have formed an allianeo with ho vend «le mon U of the opponition, and in Mich- igan anil Minno* olu, conventions h ivo been called. These concurrent move- ida hole to I ho formation of a new paitv. The Indiana convention wan mm* •Bed of not less than a thousand del* galea, every section of the Stale br ing represented. Tho chairman slat ed at. tho outset that they had con gregated to establish u now movement, 1 to accomplish a groat reform frnifi the head of tho government to tho .lowest official. They formally loptod tho niiiiio Iudflpemh nt ana parly title. Congratulations wero hangod with tho Illinois cmvor.- lion, and pledges of co-operation were ordered to ho dtipatchod. The pint* is lengthy. Both of the older parties of tho country are condemned as engine)) of opprifllion, entailing out the lives of tho people. ChuRlo blav- ory, they Hay, has been ab dished, but pilsl is now the master and dictates all I onus, ami thus all Ishorera are practically placed in llm condition of Ih^iluvo before emancipation. Al monopolies are denounced. Tho na tional I auk currency should he suj - planted hy legal tenders, issued It) tho government, and iiilerchangablo for government bonds at. a low rate of in ti rest. Capable and honest men should he selected to fill idl offices without regard to former political opinions; mid tho om-lcrm principle ih adopted. (Iliiiirtnou for lie* Uliity committees worn tlnli d si j- uated, and a State Central Commit l*-o formed, and a full State ticket, put in Domination.

Several days after the finding of the body, suspicion pointed to John Edwards, a boy of sixteen years of age, as the guilty party, lie confessed the deed, and that bin brother, Water F< ward it 1 come older than himself), miniated him. On the day of tho killing, they got Turner drunk, and while he was in a drunken tupor, conceived the plan of killing him in revenge for an old grudge ist him. Vestor split. Turner’s skull with an ax.

G. Turner, whose death is recorded above. Tho hoys reported their discovery to their father, and b« told them to hush it ud suy nothing about it. Soon after the remains were removed by im Down parties and have never boon i*.-n since.

With such pros peels before us the resumption of vie payments ought at no distant to be an accomplished fact, Tho Dulisliuo Exploration peilition. It has been known for some lime, that a society bearing this name ex isted in this country, and that, acting in conjunction with a bister society in England, it has for its object the pre paration of an accurate nap of the Holy Land. Tlm English society, which has taken tlm west sido of tho Jordan, has surveynl seven tin usand miles of the country. It is proposed by the American such tv to survey at least eight thousand mites on llm oast Side of the Jordan. Such a joint sm- vey would give us a map of the Holy Land such as has inner yet exi-l« d. All accurate nmp of the il ,ly Laud m much ucedeo. Thirty thousand dollars a year for three years are iieed- eo by the American society to give* ' tlVcl to their plans. This i i oy -buhl be forthcoming at cnee. One of II. G.

'I'hey conspind then-foie to kill him and have his money. They called on a limn named Evans to assist them in their mmdci- mi i operations, who being v< ry drunk coiisi ntoil. The parly got everything .•nll-it- f--» t-'.v %**«., toil the mean linn) ho had sphered oil', 1 when limy came ho declined to assist them, stating that Im was a while man and no iiinrdoror, and de- 1 ning that he would blow on llm lust olio of them if they did not desii-t. They desisted from coving out their fell purpose as to young Turner, lint w reaked I heir veuganee on the unfoi lunate Evans. In a few days after this he was found DKAI* ON Till* ItOAOSini , sulVocated by a stick twisted mound his neck, and beaten severely on the breast with a maul. A Coroner's in quest was held, but his body was not examined by a physician. The jury returned a verdict of death from cause unknown to them. It ia supposed Hint nicmbois of tin gang who killed him were members of that jury. The people of the comity were tcr- rororized by these inisteri ms and wanton murders. M< n felt it dan gerous to leave their houses. The limiter was brought before the last grand-jury, and over TTiinrv tiu k mi i.slwnir. i-oiinu against parlies iinnlioaled. Some have llod and tho olheors of the law are in pursuit. it is said tlmt It. G. Turner who was iminlerid, belonged to the band. Tho elan Ims now been broken up and tlm people breathe some fr< er. I he peoplu of Diek'-ns county are do ing all tlmy can to bring these miser*- ants t«* justico, and do not deserve tho obloquy which justly attaches to these lie p' t’adoes. Tho Coiivinglion l'aileri pi:;c says that the Newton County Court works admirably. It Ims dispose*! of forty cases that would tiave occupied the Superior Court at least ton days, at an expense to tho county of consider ably over ono hundred dollars a day. It has kept tho jail clear, with the exception of ono prisoner awaiting sentence fir a capital crime, and bills for jail-board are almost unknown. Vagrancy has heel) banished, and crime lias been greatly diminished by the prompt infliction of tlm proper penalties. Tho certainty of immediate punishment 1ms a salutary etlbct among the newly enfranchised. Very few true hills are new needed, and the county 1ms already gained, through the i p.nalu n of the new court, not less than a thousand dollars above the Judge's salary and juror's fees. A Dr. I ling was recently tried for atten p ing to practice a fraud on an insurunoo company in New York. The lif»* of one Louisa Germs was in sured for ten thousand *1* liars. Cl ing reported her dead and buried and claimed the policy. Tlio company de manded a post tuorlcm examiuniion and on tin* exhumation, instead of the corps ol the dead woman, nineteen bri* ks were found to const ituo the con tmts of the cofiln. The dead woman, in full vitality, along with tho nineeon bricks, was present in court, tiling was convicted and sentenced to eigh teen months imprisonment. The link nipt Law. Tho principal points of the now bankrupt bill, which only requires tho President's signature to become a law, are as follows: Forty days aro allow ed to elapse before a merchant or tra der who fails to pay his commercial paper is liable to bo thrown into bank ruptcy. Tho OHHent of one-fourth in uumher and orn -third in vuluo of tho creditors is required to throw a debtor into bankruptcy. This provision re lates back to the 1st of last Decem ber. Droceedings may In discontinued whenever a debtor pays those secured debts which were the grounds of throwing him into bankruptcy, or whenever, with tho consent of tho court , he and a majority of tho credit ors shall ask for a discontinuance of the proceedings. In order to sot aside hypothecated pledges or liens on the bankrupt’s estate, it must appear tlmt thn party dealing with the bankrupt knew tint Im intended to perpetrate a fraud on tho bankrupt law, and that ho intended to go into bankruptcy. When a loan is made to a bank rupt in good faith and security taken, with tho intention of aiding him to pull through, it. hhall ho considered in having actual value, and the secu rity shall not ho invalidated by pro ceedings in bankruptcy. A voluntary bankrupt may have bin discharge if Ins estate puya t hirty por cent of his debts, or provided he obtains the coa^ept of his rn dilora iim is nccuiMiiry to tnrow him into bank ruptcy. An involuntary bankrupt can g< t his di* charge if his conduct is fro i from all baud, and Im is innocent of any violation m* infringement of the bankrupt act. Assignees are prohib ited from dividing fees with anvolher person engaged iu tho case. (' .iii|h>- siliou of creditors inay he made with tho debtor, provided u majority of the creditors join, were approved by the court, for tho release and discharge of the debtor. The fees are reduced on* half until the jujges of the .Supreme Court ahull ei labhsh a permanent reduction and simplify proceed ip gw. All the acts of the persons connected with llm ex'-eu- tion of the law shall let made public ill the shape of full and minute r<- porls from the Clerk, the Aslgeee, the Marsh d and the R.-gister. Original jurisdiction is con fund on llm Tori to nal Court*q with an appeal to the Su preme Court of tho Territory. Hunt Times. "Its mighty hard tiinos, I tell jmi.' Wo took a short walk yesterday,'’and* this was tlm salutation we heard a man give another. The spt akor was a tail man in hit shirt sleeves ami a slouched Imt, ami he stood hob I i i g in his hand a rope attached to the horns *f a juvenile steer, tlmt, with its con sumptive little cmopmiion looked im if tho rope was Hupiirlluous : for th. re was nothing im»re foreign to their thoughts or spit its than running away. The little shambling wagon lo which the attenuated cattle wire hitched, groaned iu its oilless joints under nine sticks of green wood, uusplit because too thin. The 4k *»\ looked like En glish lloop poles, and the man who vowed the times were hard could have carried tlm load easily. In the buck part of the wagon, secured*by a strap, was a glazed imi theru jug with a corn c ib stopper hi ppleniuuted hy a piece of led rag. We did not wait to hear moio of tho stale platitude, but wont wa lit o:i. llm sight of such teams, such men and such statements, have In come ton common to excite com ment. Lite in the afternoon wo saw the same team again, going homo through the mud, rain and darkiics.*- Tho driver had tlm glazed jug unde his head, as lie lay on the two plank that, formed tho wagon’s bed. We do not know what tho jug contained, but whatever it was the man had given all the contents he could mi inside pas sage. The little steers Imd visibly shrunken since morning, looking, poor things, as if they were gradually wast ing away, and longing for tlm job to be over. This man was not a typ the yeomanry of this land. Unfortu nately, it was iio class corresponding to tho yeoman. Ho was a poor, ig- n.»r mt whito’iimn, with a large furii l.v, no doubt, nnd lie lives in a wretch ed one room cubin, on a piece of wast ed huiil, unknown and lincarcd fot w ith no impulse and no aid to a noble life. “Hard times!" Who aro im' mg them ? The poor little cltildrc huddled about her last night, knei what hroiigt “Imrd tunes'' to In wretched abode, when tho famished brutes stopped, with famished tongues in tho darkness, and she heard tho oaths of the greater brute as he stag gered iu with the glazed jug in lus hand. “Hard times !’’ says tho man who never done a stroke of oui-nost, lie work to make him better. “1 limes!'' says the-young man too proud to labor with the white hands which he folds as lie waits for chance to give him an easy job. “Hard time the planter, mm he begs the merchant to credit him for the food ho noei and, paying CO or 100 per cent. f. his advances, he goes back over tl bin borons roads to the uncumfort l ie homo to bet his remaining time and credit on tho gamo of chan co- cotton. "Hard times!" cries the mei chant, us notes fall due and nut on dollar of the thousands owing him comes in to meet them. Ye times are hard, and the cause lies at our own door.
