POLITICS AND RELIGION.
The chaplains of the United States Sen
ate, since 1860, have been in the habit of
periodically advising the Almighty and
constantly counseling the members of Con
gress in affairs purely of a mundane char
acter. The Rev. Mr. Boynton had a na
tional reputation in this way. and pretty
effectually disgusted the country before the
close of the last year. His successor in
office seems to be a worthy disciple, for we
hear of him by telegraph as praying that
the “ patriot arms of Cuba might be
strengthened, and the isles of the sea de
livered from their oppressors.” Os course,
this is a sly theological way of hinting
that the Senate should hurry up the re
cognition of the belligerent .rights of the
insurgent Cuigms, and the feeble second
fiddle to Beecher’s recent first class per
formance at New York. No doubt the
chaplain, whose heart thus bleeds for Cu
ban liberty, was a mighty rebel hater du
ring our war for Southern independence,
and sent up many a forty-parson power
chaunt, blasting the patriots who struggled
here to free themselves from oppression.
How many prayers for mercy has he ad
dressed the Senate for his fellow-country
men of the South who have groaned under
impositions worse than Spanish crnelty in
flicts upon Cuba ? We fear his sympathies
are not so keen in thls_ regard.and.^Utbf
tuts clerical Boanerges is a particular
friend of Butler’s and a warm endorser of
his views. Ik would appear from this and
other samples that many of the pulpits of
the North have been converted into ros
trums for the advocacy of what is called
“broad-gauge religion,” which being inter
preted means Radical rapacity and Yankee
greed.
Almost at the same moment that the tel
egraph conveys the melting moods of the
Senate’s chaplain with regard to foreign
rebels, the St. Louis Christian Advocate
brings us (his curious Information concern
ing Postmaster General Creswell. The
Christian Advocate says:
“ Wo have been aorpriscd at the amount and
tone of comments by the press on the appoint
ment of this gentleman, but we learn from a
well-informed source what fully accounts for
it. He is the official (or nnoffigal) representa
tive of the Northern Methodist Church, appoint
ed, no doubt, as Mr. Harlan was by Mr. Lin
coln to the Interior Department, at the de
mand of the political Bishops of that church.
Then it was the Interior Department Mission
and other Lands, now it is post office patron
age is demanded.”
If this be correct, it explains the insinua
tions recently made that Bishop Simfson
had a very big finger in the pie of political
appointments, and was manipulating the
leaders of the “ Great American Gift Enter
prise.” The Baltimore Episcopal Methodist,
one of the most elevated and powerful re
ligious organs in all this country, is war
ring against the corrupt practices of its
ministry, and never fails to utter public
condemnation of those who bring this
great scandal upon the church. It furnishes
this accusation :
“During the time Mr. Montgomery Blair was
Postmaster General, he received a visit at the
Department from Bishop Simpson. The Bishop
complained that the Methodist Episcopal
Church bad not received as fair a proportion of
the offices as it was entitled to. He claimed
thjt his Church bad rendered- 1 more service to
the party in power than any other, and had a
rivbt to demand a larger share in the distribu
tion of the appointments. The Postmaster
General disclaimed any intention to ignore the
M. E. Church ; but remarked, that the question
of a man’s Church relation did not influence
him in mating his appointments. Blshsp
Simpson then asked to examine the books, but
Mr. Btair refused to allow him that privilege,
alleging that such privilege could not be ac
corded to auy gentleman. The Bishop left
greatly offended at Mr. Blair, and the affair
brought on a very elaborate correspondence
between the parties. The controversy was
characterized by much personal abuse and bit
ter invective, and notn little misrepresentation
on the part of the Bishop’s friends. It was
finally used by certain Methodist preachers who
went iu person to Annapolis to defeat the elec
tion of Montgomery Blair as United States
Senator. Mr. Creswell’s claims Were urged
by the friends of Bishop Simpson, and his elec
tion 9ver Mr. Blair was proclaimed as a Metho
dist triumph. The facts are in our possession.
They are undeniable, and should be seriously
pondered. ‘We speak ns unto wise men, Judge
ye,’ Ac.” ' -
When such things are the ordeV of the
day among the shepherds of the Northern
flock, what wonder the flock itself goes
astray into rationalism, hypocrisy and im
purity? The cry is abroad everywhere
that the morals of the people are most
vicious, and we hear ffom a thousand
sources the exclamation, “ the people must
be reformed !” Would it not be pertinent
to inquire if the Northern people have not
been brought into sinfulness by the laxity
of their leaders, lay and clerical ? If min
isters of whatever denomination would at
tend strictly to their sacred duties, leaving
the game of politics to those who are ap
pointed to pursue it, never fear but the
great masses of the people would reverence
their pastors alf the more, and be prompt
in imitating good examples.
A Dusky Official Airs His Dignity
on THE Floor op the Senate.—Lieuten
* ant-Governor Dann (colored), of Louisiana,
was on the floor of the Senate and House,
and was well received by several of the
and members. Sumner intro
duced him to several Senators, and the
dusky politician comported himself with
remarkable dignity. Senator Wilson was
completely taken with the colored Lieuten
ant-Governor, and, In the exuberance of his
emotions at finding his dream of days long
vanished realized on the floor of the Senate,
and a great stalwart African mingling on
familiar terras with the Caucasian mag
nates of the land, rushed over to the Demo
cratic side, and, singling out the venerable
representative of the irreversible Democra
cy of Kentucky, Garrett Davis, proposed to
introduce him to the dusky Lieutenant-
Governor of Louisiana, and thus inaugurate
the era of peace aqd political amalgama
tion. “Do come,” implored Wilson, In his
blandest tone; “he is a good Southern
man, though his color is a little dark; and
you might as well become acquainted with
him now as wait until he is sent here to
the Senate by the State of Louisiana.”—
“ No, sir," sternly responded the diminu
tive but inflexible Kentuckian; “I want
no introduction. Not that I have any ob
jection to the nigger, for no man will ex
tend him more protection than I will when
he is in his proper place. I don’t blame
him, either, for being here on this floor;
but I blame those who intibduced him.—
You know, well enough, Wilson, this is a
piece of ostentatious humbug; but I’ll be
no party to it,” and saying so, the immortal
Garrett turned on his heel and left. *

New York, April 5.
The various Radical measures looking to
the further manipulation or reconstruction
of the Southern States may be as
nostnoued till the next session of Congiess.
Mnrhin<j- is likely to be done at the present
t?e mat of time, >8 weU .8
from the inability of the majority in Com
trreaq to asrree among themselves as to what
fI? o?mfy be done ß The shameful con
duct of affairs in those States where the
carpet-bag, scallawag and negro combina
tions have acquired complete control, has
disgusted the fair-minded Republicans.—
The embittered feuds which have occuned
among the Radical carpet-baggers anil
their co-workers in nearly every Southern
State, lias weakened the confidence of the
Republican leaders at the North in the fu
ture effectiveness of the “ Republican par
ty ” at the South. And, again, the reck
lessness with which North Carolina, Ten
nessee, and other Southern States, have
been plunged into debt, has alarmed those
who are interested in the maintenance and
improvement of the credit of the Southern
States. In view of these considerations,
the status quo is considered safest, and may
be considered as certain to be maintained
for a year at least. Those among you who
are waiting upon Providence, and longing
for the opportunity to plunder Georgia, as
North Carolina and other Southern States
have been plundered, will have to “ wait a
little longer.”
The distribution of the Federal patron
age for this city and vicinity has produced
an amount of swearimr not excelled by
that army in Flanders. ‘ Everyhpdy seems
to have a “show” except tluPTHends of
Senator Conkling, and his organ, the Hun
(which is also the organ pro. tem. of Tam
many Hall), is unceasing in its ridicule of
Grant and his administration. The Post
was for a time very bitter upon Grant, but
having been “seeD,” it is again beslavering
Grant with fulsome eulogy. But notwith
standing the attempt at a fair division
i^A“lll‘. e^-^^, rSn? v has given several
of the best places to his personal depend
ents. Pierrepoint Edwards, who has been
appointed District Attorney, kept perfectly
qniet during the late canvass, nntil after
the October elections, which made Grant’s
election certain, when he came out for him
with a great flourish of trumpets, and edn
tributed $20,000 to the electioneering fund
of the Radical Committee. Buch bare
faced trimming to.the popular breeze seems
not to have earned the contempt of Grant,
for we find him openly rewarding Edwards’
investment with a most valuable office.
Much amusement has been created by a re
mark which Collector Grinnell made to his
subordinates on taking office. He warned
them against receiving gifts, and that
the receiving of gifts inevitably led to cor
ruption. A more pointed reflection upon
“ President Grant ” could not well have
been conceived.
The investigation, through the coqrts,
(Judge Barnard presiding,) into the affairs
of the Union Pacific Railway, has progress
ed SO far as breaking open the safe of the
company and the seizure of its books,
which was accomplished after six hours’
prodigious labor, with relieves of men.
Some extraordinary developments are ex
pected. It will be shown how “loyalty”
rewarded Itself as it made “.war for the
Union.” They are not to exceed a hun
dred stockholders, counting the “dummies,”
who are in place of the names of members
of the Federal Administration. Among
them are George Ashmun, with whom
Governor Orr, of South. Carolina, march
ed arm and arm into the Philadelphia
Convention; Oakes Ames, who is an in
tensely loyai Radical M. C. from Massa
chusetts, aud who has hftd the unblushing
effrontery to sit upon the House Committee
on Pacific Railroads; John J. Cisco, who,
though a Democrat, was too “ loyal ” to
support Seymour; David Davis, one of the
Justices of the - Supreme Court, appointed
by Lincoln ; R. M. Blatchford, U. S. Dis
trict Judge; W. E. Dodge, a large contribu
tor of morals, deportment and money to the
Radical councils ; John A. Dix, whose loy
alty kept him aloof from the Democratic
party, to which he professed to adhere;
Samuel Sloan, anothor war
Georsre Butler, another of the same stripe;
Mose»"Taylor, ditto, ditto; Oliver Char-
lick, ditto, ditto; to which, may be added
such Republican magnates as Thurlow
Weed, George Opdyke q,nd Marshall O.
Robert,, i.
tory of the last four years, we find that the
leading stockholders have changed their
political affiliations to which ever party at
tained the- ascendency. When Johnson
quarreled with the Radicals and seemed
likely to matmain his ground, Ashmun, Dix
& Cos. rushed as one man to his side. When
Johnson had failed they labored to restore
harmony between him and the Republican
party, and on the failure of this scheme, they
took position on the fence—flattering John
sou, but “ regretting ” his course. When'
Grant’s election became tolerably certain
they demonstrated loudly in his favor. A
true exhibit of the affairs of the Union
Pacific Railway will show that the road
has been built wholly oq the credit of
the Federal Government. Jt has qot cost
the stockholders a dollar, and has not
even paid the interest on the bonds is
sued lu its favor. There will be a sur
plus of eighteen millions to be divided
among the stockholders at the completion
of the road. The stock is mostly held by
about a dozen men, who will receive about
a million apiece of money, to which they
will have no more moral claim than if it
were the proceeds of a bank robbery. Be
hold, I repeat, how “loyalty” rewards
itself.
I have felt constrained heretofore to
speak of and deprecate the demoralization
of the Democratic party in the North and
East, under the blighting influences of the
great amount of patronage which is exer
cised by the Republicans. We saw it in
the late canvas, and I am sorry to say that
even the Democratic Governor and State
officers at Albany have not been able to re
sist the progress of political demoralization
in our municipal affairs. A notable exam
ple has just occurred in Brooklyn. The
Radicals worked through both branches of
the Legislature a bill to practically over
turn the municipal government of Brook
lyn, and hand it over to one of those many
headed commissions which have become
our bane, and against which the Demo
crats have never ceased to protest. By
promising one of the places on this com
mission to the editor of the local Demo
cratic organ, and another to a member of
the Democratic State Committee from that
county, they succeeded in mustering in
fluence enough to secure the signature of
the Democratic Governor (Hoffman) to the
bill. By thi3 means the Democratic party
in Kings is left naked to its enemies. It is
without morals or patronage enough to
maintain its organization. Its ten thou
sand Democratic majority is nullified and
scattered to the winds. Its most trusted
leaders have betrayed it for the crumbs
which fall from the Radical table. It need
not be at all suprising if, under such cir
cumstances, and with similar influences
operating in Connecticut, we lose that Stab*
to-d ty and New York next Fall.
We are having unseasonably cold weather.
The wind, the temperature and the blind
ing dust, are of March rather than of
April. The sowing of the Spring wheat
has been greatly delayed in many quarters.
This is an uncomfortable fact. A late crop
of wheat is exposed to many dangers. The
cold is fortunate in another respect. It has
checked the rapid melting of the snow in
more northern latitudes, and our “ April
showers,” which should bring forth May
flowers, have been snow-storms! Conse
quently the Spring floods have been less
severe than there was reason to apprehend.
As our northern woods disappear before
the ax, the rise and fall of our rivers become
more marked. This i« owing to the increas
ed rapidity with which snow melts In Spring
and the greater effect which is taken by the
sun’srays upon the parched fields of Sum
mer. Our railway communications with
the North and West have been interrupted
for some days, but are now restored.
The contest between the Ritualists and
Anti-Ritualists, in the Episcopal Church,
was actively displayed during the past
week, at the elections of warden and ves
trymen In the several churches. In one In
stance, at least, it was necessary to call
upon the police to maintain order. The
Anti-Ritualists were generally in the ma
jority. The lew parishes in which the Ri
tualists were successful, success was only
attained through the arbitrary course of
the rectors, at the expense of a disrup
tion of the congregation.
Cotton remains firm, and estimates of the
crop are reduced to two and a quarter mil
lion bales. Cotton goods have done bet
ter, but are still Irregular. General trade
has become dull again. Money has been
excessively tight, but is rather easier to
day, although the bank statement continues
to be unfavorable. Many yet apprehend a
money panic. Willoughby.

A Congressman Hunted Down.
A WILD POLITICAL HUNT —THE VICTIM RUN
TO EARTH —HE PITEOUSLY BEGS A NEWS
PAPER CORRESPONDENT FOR RAILROAD
PASSES.
I was at work in tny room yesterday,
when a tall specimen of upright humanity
stalked in.
“ Are yon D. P.?” it asked.
Since entering upon my vocation of cor
respondent—l mean a truthful, indepen
dent correspondent—l regard that question
with suspicion. I quietly reached out, aud
in a careless, graceful manner put my right
hand on a paper weight of a few pounds,
made of “biack-diamoud-homogeneous cast
steel, bent cold,” for the use of the learned
Committefe on Commerce, and regarded my
visitor closely.
He was a man of about fifty-six, with a
bald head, curious, sharp little eyes, an un
decided nose, and chin that retreated into
a paper collar. His clothes were of what
we call store goods in the Far West, and
had evidently exhausted the genius of a
village tailor. His legs were slender and
shaky, not from age, but from a habit of
never straightening them at the knee. I
said to myself, this is not a flghtist. He
shuffles through life. He has shuffled into
office. So I released my hold on the paper
weight, and boldly responded :
“ That is my name, sir.”
“ I am Mr. . member of Congress
from . I have read your letters. Mr.
look you up.”
1 SSTr >~u ? ***• “
“ I want some passes,” he said, earnestly,
seating himself.
“ W hat sort of passes ?”
“ Railroad.”
“ I fear I cannot help you in that way,
Mr. . I had » pass for myself and fam
ily from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
but because, in return for the compliment,
I said the President had a locomotive in his
belly, lam cut off. But why do you want
passes ? Are you preparing to ran away ?”
“ I wish I could,” fce answered sadly. “I
wish I could. No, that is not it. Inm
run down by office-seekers from my district.
They pile in on me at my boarding house.
I have been sleeping every night on my bed
room floor. They follow me about, and
chase me down. They have smoked all my
cigars and drank up all mv whisky, and
now they are getting out of money and
want to borrow. I heard where to find
yon ; I made an excuse to go into an alley,
and I ran away. A police officer thought
I was a thief and ran after me. I told him
1 was a member ol Congress, running from
the office-seekers. He said that was rough,
and let me go. There is one—a woman—
worse than all the rest. She wants the
best post office I have. What in the Infer
nal jinks does Grant mean by setting such
«n example ? All the females in my dis
trict are writing to me, and two hundred
will be here, somehow, ii we don’t repeal
this foolish law and fill the offices. This
woman torments my life out; and yet, if I
give her the office, I won’t dare go home.
She toilers me up like Satan. I can’t sleep,
I can’t put on a clean shirt, she pops in on
me so unexpected. Now, If I had a rail-!
road pass.”
“ How would that help you ?
“1 believe, if I could say to her, I can’t
give you an office, but here is a railroad
pass, she’d take it and go. But, Lord love
you, I want a hundred. They’re getting
out of money, I tell you, and if I had only
had ’em. Now, can you help me? You
newspaper men always have lots of passes.
The editor in our town hasn’t paid railroad
fare for inore’n twenty years.”
I had to assure my poor friend that I
really could not help him. I suggested to
him to get a sign painted, “ Small-pox in
this House,” and put it up over his door.
“ Rooh,” lie cried, do you suppose they’d
care for that ? Every bloody one of ’em
would get vaccinated, and work in on me.
Cholera would not keep ’em off. I wish I’d
been sunk ill eternal thuuder be£or* leap
gentfti.to come to omfprentca
f workea like a mule for it. It cost me all
of SBOU —more fpQl I. What can Ido? My
neighbors and constituents wanted a na
tional dog law, for the better protection of
sheep, and to raise the price of wool. Why,
it would take a fellow two years to learn
the rules, and then I don’t think I could do
a hooter. But cuss these officeseekers.”
“ You are safe ou the floor, howeyer.”
“ Devil a bit. They get around the doors
aud send in their names. They run'up in
the gallery, to see if I’m there, and then
dowu they come. I hid in the barber shops
every day for a week, before they found me
out. And then Littlebang, who wants to
be Minister to Europe, wrote home to the
paper and said I had been made chairman
of the standing committee on hairi”

The Negro Question.
It is evident that the negro question is
now rapidly declining in importance. Os
course a corresponding despoudence of those
politicians who have heretofore peculiarly
taken charge of the “ unfortunate” and “op
pressed” African is visible. That the “ in
evitable negro is about to give place to
something else, must be truly gratifying to
every sensible man, although some deluded
individuals may feel lachrymose at the
speedy disappearance of their cherished
“ colored friends” frqm the stage. f\)r the
past twelve years the negro hs§ had alfpQgt
exclusive possession ofthe American mind.
Everything was made subordinate to th#
negro question. Unnumbered volumes were
written and spoken about him, and which,
with him, will sink into oblivion. Every
where in the North and South hewas'a
favorite theme. No political speech was
deemed complete without a reference to him.
A certain class of political preachers, by a
reference to his fortunes or misfortunes,
gave celebrity to their otherwise unin
teresting and stupid sermons. Innipnepable
small-fry politicians, mounted pa, his broad
shoulders, I’ode triumphantly into office.—
Even “ grim-visaged war” we owed to him.
Now the national debt, and the innumera
ble army of office-holders, the military gov
ernments existing in one part of our coun
try, and a violated Constitution, daily re
mind U3 of the rich blessings he brought
upon But all the signs of the times in
dicate that he is about to sink into forget
fulness, and no doubt then will enjoy the
glorious privilege of taking care of himse’f
in his own way. We have po dopbt that
every intelligent and sensible darkey will
hail the advent of that auspicious day with
joy. But the politicians who have hereto
fore pros?ered*by the discussion of the negro
question, will then be compelled to turn
tiftir attention to some other subject, or
retire from public life. Nor will it be
easy to find a question as well adapt
ed to secure the success of lazy and
shallow-brained spouters. The discus
sion of the negro question was easy. It
involved no necessity of study. Hence its
universal popularity. Everybody was will
ing enough to talk about a question he
could talk about without study. Although
incessantly discussed.for twelve years, it
has absolutely added nothing to the aggre
gate knowledge of mankind. But the use
less and causeless war we owed to it has
saddled upon us questions which It will re
quire greater minds to settle. The time
for shallow and empty talk is now rapidly
passing away. Nothing illustrates clearer
what we say than the fact that a majority
ofthe members of the National Legislature,
elected solely for their ability to discuss
the “inevitable” negro question and the
“ accursed ” rebellion, are now iguoring the
most vital questions in which the American
people ate interested. The teuure-of-offlce
act calls forth innumerable speeches, but
nothing is said about finances, about com
merce, about the development of the coun
try, about th* tariff and about the redistri
bution of the national currency. Still the
people are interested in. these questions
more than the tennre-of-offlce act, which
now everybody agrees was an unconstitu
tional, illegal and outrageous tyranny per
petrated in the interest of afi unscrupulous
set of politicians, determined to hold office
at all hazard. A change, however, must
come. NeW men, who Enow nothing s J®
the negro question, but understand p *
cal economy and finances, it is hoped, n
soon get control of our national affai if"
Something will then be accomplishei to
the good of the entire country. Therfl
every man ought to be grateful that t*
dark visage of the negro is about to d»P'
pear out of American politics.

Do Not Trifle With Danger. *"
A single spark mar kindle a flame that will consume a
city, ami small ailments neglected may end in fatal dis
orders. Bearing this tact In |nicd, let the fyst symp
toms of debility or nervous prostration be met promptly
with invigorating treatment. Foremostj among the
vegetable tonics -of the age stands HOSTETTER’B
STOMACH BITTERS, and whenever the vital powers
seem to languish, or there le any reason to suspect ttnfr
the animal Functions essential to the sustenation and
purification of the body are Imperfectly performed, this
invaluable invigorant and antiseptic should at once be
resorteq to. Indigestion always produces weakness oi
the bodily powers. Sometimes it happens that the appe
tite demands more food than the stomach can digest;
though not more, perhaps, than is required to keep up
the full strength of the frame. The object, under such
circumstances, is to Increase the digestive capacity of
the assimilating organ, to aa to make It equal to the
duty imposed upon It by the appetite, and capable ot
supplying the building material qt the system as fast as
it is required This pbect is f\iUy accomplished by the
use of foe Bitters. They tone and gentry stimulate the
cellular membrane which secretes the gastric Juice, aud
the result is th t the solvent is mingled with the food in
sufficient quantity to cofiycrt ail its nourishing particles
Into pgre a n 4 nrhQlp&me elem en ’~ kOn the other
hand, there la a defiaieney es appetite, without any cor
responding deficiency of digestive power, the effect of the
tonic is t > stimulate a desire for food. In nineteen cases
out of twenty, headache, nausea, nervousness, fainting
fits, spasms, anl, indeed, most of the casual aches and
pains to which humanity is subject, proceed primarily
from indigestion complicated with biliousness; and for
both these complaints HOSTKTTIJR’S STOMACH BIT
TERS are recommended qs a speedy and certain remedy.

Tobacco. IVomore hanker ingfor Tobacco after using
