POLITICS AND THE PULPIT.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in an edi-
torial article in ''The Independent" express
es the opinion that the clergy in these days
are favored with entirely toe much advice
from publicans, and others, as to what they
ought and ought not TO preach. And he goes
on to remark:
"We have no doubt that rigorous landlord

Beecher has undoubtedly stumbled upon
some sense in the above extract. The doc
trine and the practice of Christianity ought
both to be enforced from the pulpit, as they
are in the Bible. But Beecher ought to have
some consideration for the publicans and sim
ners in his church. He has the advantage OF
them. for while he scolds them for their sins,
they are denied the privilege OF scolding
back. Whilst he properly reminds his aboll-
ton congregation of their various business
rascalities, such as gripping tenants, gambling,
smuggling, &c. they are not permitted to lee
ture Beecher, for his malignity, slander, his
efforts to excite sedition, and justify perjury
robbery and murder. We suspect that if he
had to occupy the place of hearer instead
of preacher for fifty-two Sundays in year,
he would not like practical sermons any bet
ter than his congregation.

The name of the author is indicative we suppose

we have not read. The print is poor and the paper
very bad, the publishers doubt considering that
it is of that ephemeral class of French Fictions

it is well thatthey are so short lived. 1t would
be better If they never lived at all.

DASDRIDGE Monday, June -, 1854
On Wednesday night last, 18th ut Mr.. Elijah Moore,
of this county, living nine miles from this place, and his
wife, and his wes sister, Miss Jane Lotspeichtwere all
murdered. Suspicion Immediately fixed upon negro man
named SAM belonging TO Moore who found to be run
away.
The excitement intense and the whole country
up arms, formed themselves into companies to hunt for
hin and yesterday he was overtakon crossing Chucky
river, about twenty miles from this place, and inmc
diaely fred upon, shot taking effect in his right
He Immediately turned and gave himself to the pursuing
party, who took him 10 the house of Mr. H. ID. Franklin
where by screwing his fingers and then his hands in
until all dc bones were mashed, land other treatment
which cannot be mentioned in print he acknowledged
that he had committed the murders.
He that he had conceived strong and irresistible
passion for Miss Lotspech, and made several proposals.
which always rejected with indignation that he had
told her if she ever informed on him he would kill her.
and thus prevent her from telling his master but on las
told her broher-inaw, Mr. Moore, who talked to hun
about and threatened 10 whip him. he then determined
enter the house kill Mr. Moore ard Miss L. away
while another negro to take Mrs. Moore but in kill
ing Moore, Mrs. Moore walked up and caught the Ak
which he wrested from her and struck her violent blow
on the head, MASKING her skull and thus rendering her
incapable Of further resistance but not causing immediate
death.
In the meantime Miss L. awoke, and struggled to pre-
vent his killing her. he cooy informed her of h- purpose
she begged him to kill her he struck her with the Ak and
broke one of her the first blow the second he
stunned her to make her entirely nsensle he then
accomplished his lelsh purpose. Mrs. Moore, IN the
meantime moved in the bed, and be went to her and split
her skull with the ak went back TO Miss L.s bod and
second time violated her person. and then spit her head
open with the AK.
He then opened the door, and quietly putting on his
shoes got into canoe turned it loose laid down in the
bottom Of it, and went TO sleep though nothing unusual
had occurred, and did not awake until he had foaed
several miles down the river

4 TEMPERANCE REVOLUTION.
Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune.


BARABO wis, } THURSDAY June %, ls54
have taken up my pen to give you some account OF
the BaTab0 Revolution. About the 2Oh OF May last
some three four rum drinking men abused their
wives by beating them, turning them OUT OF doors al
dead of night and in various other ways until their
wives thought that death would be far preferable 10
their present life. One of the women called on sey.
ral neiobOripp women and told her troubles she said
she had called the rumseers, begged them to desst
letting her husband have liquor but all did no good se
said if the women would turn out and go With her she
would 20 and destroy the liquor which lawyer Pratt
said would be the best thing that ever happened AT
Barabo. The result was that some % OF our most
noble females turned out and the 23d OF May com
menced their work by going 10 the Wisconsin House,
where they destroyed the liquor; then they moved to
grocery and spik the ale; then moved to DRINKING
house kept BY Frenchman, where they were met by
the liquor DULLES, who Lad assembled to stop their
progress and declared they would defend the house 10
The last Hitherto all had been quiet but now the
men began to NEEDLE aud the sheriff out to stop
further proceedings. The women said they would not
20 home until they had spilled all the liquor IN town, but
some of the sad if the women would retirepcacea-
bIv they would agree that the traffic in intoxicating
drinks in town should be stopped in one month The
ladies accepted the terms and retired. But here COM
mcnces a new era. Six Of the most influential ladies
in town arrested on warrant tor crimna! act,
in destroying the goods Of another, wuly and NAH
ciousy. This warrant was issued b! Hungarian
Justice at Sauk CITY, 16 miles distant from our place.
TIE ladies' offered TO give bail to appear at Circuit
Court but the officer said he must take them to Sank
CITY The Justice on examination ordered the ladies
to recognize for their appearance at the Circuit Court
which they refused. The justice Issued lnituus,
and our ladies were brought back, saying they would
