Az towards master attempting u securt

best to discriminate against the State,
which exhibit hostility to our institutions
by imposing rigid commercial restric

Some would appeal to our sister Statei

be, resume those sovereign powers nov
delegated to the general government
while others would Mt once rush into iii,
alternative Of dissolying the Union, ans
refuse tosubmit to constitutional provis

under the sanction offState authority.
Such proposition, gravely mooted b,
legislative bodies, by executive funetiona

The Bible in the Taverp-Lsger-Bier and
Religion

We learn from one Of the New York papers
that a new scheme has been devised by some
of the keepers of the lager bier ss,oons to
evade the law in relation to the Sunday liquor
traffic. 1t appears that some four or five Of
these Establishments are open every Sunday,
aad that they are generally occu upied by large
audiences. Preachers, with open Bibles be-
fore them, discourse upon various subjects, but
particularly on the reforms of Mayor Wood,
vi bich are denounced as impious and unjust
The suppression CT the Sunday liquor trsfi is
inyeighed against as a despotic interference
with the rights Of all who indulge in lager
bier and other beverages, and the faithful are
encouraged to follow in the footsteps of their
torefathers, 10 opposition to the Mayor and the
police
The Mayor, having been informed of these
establishments, detailed Cficers Freuder and
Newman, of the Enigrsnt Department, to
visit one on Sunday last, and report 10 him all
they should hear asd see. The first one they
visited was keps by Lewis Douckel and Smith,
No. 142 Chatham street. On entering the ss-
loon they found about fifty persons present,
drinking lager bier At one end Of the apart
ment a billiard table was fitted up like an
altar, upon which lay an open Bible. NJ.
Doackel. who oficisted as minister, was dressed
/ n a long black clerical robe, black skull cap,
and white Ieckerchief.
The services commenced at 10 o clock, which
i. appeais s. was somewhat later than usual,
and for which the minister made due apology
TO his congregation. He would, he said, have
commenced earlier, had it not been for the
absence Of bis two descons, who had, like
many other clergymsn, been drunk over Sat
urday night AS they did not make their sp-
pearance, he was obliged to accept the services
