POLITICAL PARs0Hs.-H DR.. Tying and Mr..
Chaplin had lived two centuries ago In Spain or
even in Massachusetts, they would have led
much happier lives than they are likely to lead
here. They might have abused people who
differed from them without word Of remon-
STRANGE and on great occasions, they might
easily have enforced their doctrines with the
halter, the knife or the faggot. IL is their mis-
fortune and our happiness that these privileges
are now denied them.
The fact is, the tendency Of our clergymen
Protestant as well as and perhaps more than
Catholic to NEEDLE in political affairs is be-
coming more and more alarming. OF course
in one point of view, man does not cease to
be citizen on becoming ministe. nor is
his right to hold and express opinions on pub
lie affairs in any way lessened. But though his
right remains the same, his duty is very
different. As minister of the Church of
Christ his flock are taught to think he speaks
on all occasions the words of truth. His preach.
ing is admitted to be so unanswerable that it
is contrary to usage and etiquette to discuss it.
When he prays no man dissents. 1t is of the
essence Of his calling, and among the chief
sources of his power that he should never be
supposed by his own congregation to go wrong.
Children are brought up in robust unques-
tioning faith in his wisdom and honesty !:
"what the minister says" is conclusive in any
argument.
1t is from knowledge of this circumstance,
that the sagacious Church Of Rome has ever
since the Reformation warned her clergy
against intermeddling in political disputes !;
lest by being found in the wrong, their igno-
rance or infrmity should be exposed, loss of
influence should follow, and religion be the
final sufferer. 1t is from ignorance of the
same that DR.. Tying, DR.. Chaplin and other
clergymen are mixing in the pending discus
sion of the prshibitory law. They may believe
they are right and probably do. But will that
do them any good if half their congregation
think differently believe they are wrong, and
cease to respect or rely upon them as formerly?
The churches may depend upon it, the people
of New York will in the end do what is right
in this matter of spirituous liquors, with or
without their interference. The only possible
effect Of that interference will be to give to
some few clergymen questionable reputation
as demagogues, and to lower generally the cha
racter Of their calling

FIRST EFFECTS OF THE PROHIBrTORY LAW
CHANGES IN Our HOTEL SYsTEM-The Prohibi-
tory Liquor law has already effected quite
revolution among the fashionable hotels, and
yesterday the per diem price of board at the
St. Nicholas the Astor, the New York, and the
Clarendon, was increased from two dollars and
half to three dollars. That the principal
reason for this increase is found in the
passage of the new liquor law there is
no doubt. The hotel keepers probably
desire to make up for the diminished
sales of liquor by the charge of the extra
half dollar per day for board. 1t is also true
that during the past two or three years, the Anne
rican hotel system has been quietly undergoing
a radical change in its management, and, hav-
ing attained the height of luxury, it bids fair
to take the other tack and consult economy.
The present per diem system has many evils,
which were lately pointed out very strongly
by gentleman who once conducted the most
fashionable and most profitable hotel in the
United States. Under the present system, in
many cases few persons get the best rooms in
the hotel the best places at the table and the NOR
cedur choisis of the cuisine, and pays no more
than the unknown guest, who gets a back room
in the sixth story, and perhaps does not eat a
meal in the house during his stay while, in
another case, desperate glutton luxuriates
in everything on the carte. eating two
or three times his moneys worth. The
American system originated in Western
extravaganza and abundance. When every
thing was cheap, the hotel keeper could give
the best Of every thing for two dollars day,
and receive handsome return for his labor.
Now, what with bad times, bad debts and b,d
crops, he cannot get his money back-to say
nothing of time and labor.
All these facts have combined TO turn the
attention of New York landlords to what is
called the European system-that is 6parate
charges for rooms and meals; and we have
now dozen hotels on this plan. Some of
them are entirely new, and fitted up in the very
best style. 1t is a remarkable fact that The
Irving House, once the most popular hotel in
America, is now undergoing alterations to fit it
for hotel on the European plan. That this
plan has many advantages no one will doubt
and that It is gradually growing into favor
here is shown by the increase of hotels kept
upon this method. 1t is more economical than
the American system, if one is contented with
decent room and moderate fare. 1t can be
made, however, much more expensive. II
would perhaps be advisable to retain the best
points of the two systems-a mixture of Ameri-
can enterprise and liberality with European
conservatism and economy.

new election. II is quite possible, how
ever, that Mr.. Pierce may back out of the
scrape, and leave the Missourians and the
Kansas squatters to fight 1t out among them
selves In any event, it is very evident that
the trouble is just beginning in Kansas, aud
that the issue can only be finally determined by
the bona Jide settlers of the Territory whether
slavery shall or shall not be established there
in. To this end, there is fine field in Kansas,
not only for all our intractable and warlike
free sellers and abolitionists, but for the belli-
gerent flibusters, whose hopes OF foreign war
have been completely dished by the affectionate
and most pacific mission of Commodore McCau-
ley to Cuba.
Meantime we shall await the upshot of Gov.
Reeder's official visit to Washington, the quib-
blings Of Gushing, and the shuffiings and dodg-
ings Of Mr.. Pierce. Serious and delicate busi-
ness that in Kansas.

Mr.. Fabens, whose recent newspaper contro-
versy with Senior Marcoleta, the Minister fro m
Nicaragua, has resulted in binding over the
Kinney expedition to keep the peace, turns out
to be rather an important character in connec.
ton with the grand enterprise.
Our readers will recollect that Mr.. Fabens
was our Consul at Grey town when Captain Hol-
Inns hauled up the sloop-of-war Cyane in front
of that unfortunate settlement, or that scamp
of savages," as the President has been gra-
ciously pleased to call it. It will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Fabens was somewhat instru-
mental in securing the bombardment and burn
ing of the town. Cui bono ? What for? To
make money out OF it, as we understood the
case. Mr.. Fabens, as we learn, had secured
for trife certain rich lands in Nicaragua,
which, if they could only be brought under
Yankee American enterprise, would soon become
exceedingly valuable property. The question
then was, how can we bring these Yankee
squatters in here. Get the United States into
a war, and get the Yankees to come in as vo-
lunteers and they are bound to stick. Hence
the whole OF that chapter of accidents, from
the row kicked up by our Minister, Major Bor-
land, and the breaking of that whiskey bottle
over his nose, down to Mr.. Pierce's demand
for indemnity and bombardment of Grey
town.
These incidents and accidents were all, we are
told, parts and parcels of deliberate scheme to
draw our government into a war in Central
America, SO as to make an opening for Yankee
enterprise, and squatters and hard cash, into
the rich lands brought up for little or nothing
by certain Yankee American spectators in
those prolific regions.
The bombardment of Greytown failed of its
object, and the Yankees in Central America
next turned their eyes towards the Kinney ex-
petition to the Mosquito purchase of Cost
johnson, Cooper & Co. But Mr.. 10. White
Of the Nicaragua California line, put spoke
in the wheel of this Kinney movement, which
stopped it. He saw after joining it, that it was
a filibustering scheme, that it would disturb
the interests of the Nicaragua Transit Compa-
ny in consequence, and SO he instantly aban-
doned Mr.. Kinney, and left him to the mercy of
Marcy. Thus the first projected Kinney
expedition has exploded. Next Mr.. Consul
Fabens comes on here. from Greytown. He has
private lands in Nicaragua Surely he has the
right to settle them. Good idea. Col. Kinney
adopts it. His armed colonists will settle on
the lands of Mr.. Fabens. The expedition is re-
organized accordingly, and the day is appoint
ed for the sailing Of the first ship load of the
armed occupation. But here Senior Marcoleta
steps in, and Col. Kinney is bound over to
keep the peace.
We would now advise the gallant Colonel to
give up the job entirely, and embark with Mr..
Fabens and the whole Kinney expedition to aid
in settling the question of squatter sovereignty
in Kansas Good lands in Kansas at dollar
and quarter an acre.

On The shore OF q din and misty sea,
With Il broad. green field before him,
Stood childish form, in the early morn,
With the blue sky hanging DER him
And his heart iraped orth to the glad green earth
Like fountain to freedom springing; .
For blossomng trees waved there IN the breeze
And birds IN The boushs were singing.
But voice from behind fell on bis
Though bright The scnshine . er thee.
Sb child | beware of the lurking snare
Tha, lies in the path before thee p'
Then the youth went forth TO the Geld OF e
With a Young hearts high en6eaycr,
And that warning word, in the morning heard
Was ensbtiped in his soul forever.
Years were gone--an old man stood
On the verge OF swelling ocean,
And the oaming spray, on his locks OF gray,
Was tossed 10 the wild connection.
The nom WAS past, and the glorious neon;
At the twilight hour find him,
With its shadows dim encircling him.
Aud the field of Life behind him.
But ne looked not back his eye was fixed
On the misty sea before hin,
