U The recent disgraceful scenes at
Quebec, and bloody doings at Montreal,
are the result of religious excitement,
created by one religious body violently
attacking another in the pulpit through
the mouth of stranger. Was the world
ever made better, or a single convert
gained to any cause by such a course
All past experience answers, No. Far
better would it be for the religious world
and the cause Of Christ, if religious teach
ers, instead of searching for flaws in the
creeds of those who differ with them, and
villifying those who do not believe lust
as they do, were engaged in teaching
those who listen to them to do good, and
keep themselves unspotted from the sins
OF the world. The strongest argument
in the mouth of the infdel against Chris
tlanity is the quarrels and strifes of it's
devotees.

"News from Washington is News at Wash
inGton"

So say the lovers of the latest news,
and they speak truly. But why should
this be the case? 1t is not thing ne
cessary, and if the people of Washington
are true to themselves it shall not be so
much longer. Our citizens and visitors
need not search the columns of the Herald
and Sun for Metropolitan news, if the
people of the Metropolis have soul or pride
enough to support well conducted daily
journal in their midst.
We are now engaged in fitting up the
building in which the Star is printed
We shall soon have handsome counting
room in which to do business and receive
our friends we shall also have a neat
printing office and new and fast press
ON which to print our paper, which is in
creasing in Importance and circulation so
fast that the slow team we now drive don't
60 fast enough to meet the demands of
our customers.
We have always said the Star was
bound to shine: and shine it will The
clouds which for time partially obscured
Insight are fast disappearing; soon, not
one will be seen, when it's rays will send
forth beams so strong, and pure, and
bright, that our heavy six penny's which
have been so many years numbering along
as news vehicles, doing an up hill bust
ness in rejecting the light of others, will
be seen only in the dim distance guided
by the beams of the Star.

CT The Pittsburg Post says: There
is no city in the Union where a Temper
ance reform is more needed than at Wash
ington." While we admit that reform
on the subject of temperance is needed in
our city, we take the liberty of dissent
ing from the wholesale stigma attempted
to be cast upon us by the editor of the
Post. There are many places in this
widely-extended country where intem-
perance prevails to greater extent than
here and we need not 60 farther than
Pittsburg to prove this fact.
five are not mistaken there exists in
Pennsylvania, law which, under the
penalty Of fine, closes all the tipling
houses and tavcrns in that State on the
Sabbath; but which is not regarded in
the least, there being about as much of
the ardent sold at the taverns on Sunday
in Pennsylvania, as on all the rest of the
days OF the week together, notwlthstand
ing the existence of the law. And the
people Of Pittsburg, from whence this
grave charge against DIR city emanatcs,
are as guilty of violating this temperance
law as any other community in Pennsyl-
vania.
In Washington we also have law
against selling liquor on the Sabbath,
which we venture to say is more respect
ed than any law on the subject of temper
ance in any city or State in the Union.
In order to convince the editor OF the
Post Of this fact we invite him to ATTEMPT,
the next time he visits Washington, to
take "a smile" at any of our public
houses.

Sagacity Of q Horse.

Among all the stories related of this
sagacious animal, we have never met
with one more striking than the following,
which comes to us from a perfectly au-
thentic source:
When Clark Mills, the distinguished
American artist, was on his way from the
West to the city of Washington, accom-
panied by his collection of wild native
animals, he stopped one night in retired
place. His horse was hitched close beside
one Of his companions, while the cage
containing the buffalo was a little farther
off: Toward morning the gentleman was
awakened by paving on his breast, and
starting up suddenly he noticed the horse
standing over him, looking into his face.
Coming to the side of the animal he found
that he had loosened himself, and imme-
diately he led the way for the gentleman
to follow him to the cage of the buffalo.
On reaching the spot it was ascertained
that the beast had escaped from his cage .
This is what the horse had discovered,
and, led him to wallen his keeper as he
slum bered on the ground. Mounting the
faithful and sagacious animal the gentle
man pursued the buffalo, soon found and
brought him back.
This horse and buffalo are to form a
part of the group Of native statuary about
being constructed by Mr.. Mills.

Spirit Of the Morning Press.

The lnteA,gencer of to day is printed
on double sheet, but contains scarcely
line of original matter: it's contents,
however, are selected with much taste and
Judgment. Among other things the In
feA'gencer contains the speech of the Hon.
A. P. Butler, of South Carolina, on the
Pacific Railroad, and the speech of the
Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, on the same
subject. Although our ancient contcm.
porary has large amount of matter this
morning it shows very little spirit
The leader of the Republic this morning
is on 1.-The Memphis Convention and its
political objects" We looked for a reply
to the article of the Union of yesterday in
which the Republic is numerically ex-
coriated, but in vain we suppose, how
ever, that our neighbor reserves that shot
for another time.
On the subject Of the Memphis Conven-
the Republic says:
owe agree perfectly with the liberal
views taken by the New York Times,
Herald, and other papers in regard to the
effect of the Memphis movement upon the
cities of the North. Every increase of
Southern production, every development
OF Southern trade, is but an additional
impulse to the demand for Northern capi
tai, and additional encouragement to
Northern enterprise. True, there will be
no longer Northern monopoly: but the
increased development of the whole South
ern interior will sustain the value of
Northern property. The direct increase
OF Northern numbers will not be mate
rally diminished, but it's relative prepon-
derance will be checked by the American
and European counter-immigration, which
Will flow into the productive, but hitherto
mace ssible, interior of the South.
g In word, the South will become
populous, prosperous, powerful. she will
cherish the Union because she will feel
no inequality in it's burdens. She will
harmonic with the North because she
will not fear the North. and will have no
feeling OF inferiority."
This is consummation most devout,v
to be wished for.
The Union of yesterday morning con-
tinues its reflections on 1" the Democratic
party of the nation in convention assem-
bled-their platform and their instruc-
tions - it also contains better response
to the Republic, headed a candid answer
to Wing antagonism, from which we make
the following extract:
