BT BISHOP HERBEn.

Isit to go to church to-day,
To look devout and seem to pray,
And ere tomorrow s sun goes down
Be dealing slander through the town
Does every sanctimonious face
Denote the certain rel m Of grace
Does no. phiz that scowls at sin
Oft veil hypocrisy within z
Is it 10 make our daily walk
And of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet often practice secret crime,
And thus misspend our precious time,
Isjt for sect or creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule of right,
When what VIC wish is at the best,
To see our church excel the rest
Is it to wear the CHRISTIANS dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
And treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every door
Oh, mol religion means not this,
It's fruit more sweet and falrer is
It's precept this: 10 others dc
As you would have them do to you.
1t grieves to hear an i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to sport;

- Then may its influence fIl nay heart;
Oh haste that blissful joyful day.
When all the earth may own its sway.

MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1865.
Hotels.

The Times, day or two since, had some
well-timed remarks in regard to the closing
of the Winslow House. Our neighbor did
not, however, go quite far enough. He should
have added that the house he was speaking
of wanted good and honest landlord as we'll
rs a reduction of rent by the owners of the
premises. Its last man, Dorsey-called by
some "Col." Dorsey-got possession Of the
house some two months since in company
with another swindler, like himself, and has
continued to keep it upon the non-paying
principle. His partner forged letter of
credit in less than week after he arrived
here, and forthwith left. Dorsey has been
hanging on until finally "closed out" by his
creditors few days since. On Friday eve-
ming he took 'leg bail" and left for parts un-
known, carrying off hundreds of dollars be-
longing to his creditors as well as sundry ar
ticles of furniture belonging to the house.
We learned on Saturday that the Winslow
is shortly to try it again under the charge of
apracticallandlord from Saratoga, New York.
We hope for the permanent establishment of
the house as respectable first class hotel,
and are willing to aid it in another trial. The
rent has been reduced $1,000; but it will
take much time and labor and money to re-
store public confidence.

CaiCAGO N1ONLf MARkET.-10e OeUO-
cratic Press Of the 22d has the following:
There has been no marked change in the
Money Market for the past week. Business
is active, and the requirements of trade i'm
mense, but our bankers have been able to
meet all the necessities of legitimate bust
ness. t''"
We hear very little more of the Georgia
bank war, and it is to be hoped that wiser
counsels will prevail. The following from
Adams Chicago Bank Note List of Oct. 16,
confirms all we have said on the Georgia
currency. We need hardly add That Mr..
Adams is one of our shrewdest and best in
formed brokers. He says, in reference to
Georgia currency:
In answer to the multiplicity of questions
from subscribers and others, whether Alta
ianta Bank has failed if it is going to Jail,
and whether it will be driven out ST circula-
ton and permit New England money to come
in-I say first that ATLANTA has not failed
next that think there is no prospect of its
filling, and further that New England money
cannot displace it and that it ought not, as
the securities of New England and Georgia
Banks are simply on the responsibility Of the
owners. In the case of the Georgia Banks
wealthiest citizens, and in the case of New
England Banks there is nothing bat the SUI
perstition, (falsified every few months by &
failure that "Yonlxee Bank never breaks ,
illinois ought to supply her own currency
If she can't do that it is not worth while to
drive out bad thing, which is Georgia cur
reney, with worse, which is New England
The four following named banks, Atalanta
Interior, Merchants Bank, Macon and La
grange, are owned by the strongest Bankers
in the State and will bare comparison, both
in wealth and financial skill, with any four
banks that can be selected in New England
and are as safe as any bank of the kind car
be-" ' 'A
There is no change in the rates of uncur-
rent money. The demand for gold is still
quite active with good supply. There is
rather less inquiry than week since.
During the week the bills of E. /. Tink-
ham Co.'s Bank at M'Leansboro' have made
their appearance. They are beautifully en-.
graved, and will materially increase our State
Secured circulation. Mr.. Tinkham is one of
our oldest and most reliable bakers, and the
business public will have entire confidence in
the issues of any bank of which he has the
management.
The bankers are supplying their regular
customers at the legal rates, viz: ten pei
cent. The brokers are charging from two to
five per cent. per month, though there is q
tendency to the lower figures.
The Press, be it understood is the leading
Chicago paper in the interst of the " Georgia
Wildcats" and its money articles should be
taken with some grains of allowance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1855.
Col. Steptoe is stopping at the White house
and conversing with the President about af-
fairs in Utah. He will accept the Office of
Governor, provided he is backed up by suf-
ficent force of soldiers.
The appointment to fill the vacancy on the
Supreme bench is now under discussion
Pierce wants Montgomery Blair, and he will
probably get the appointment, but Marcy op-
poses him violently. Several prominent pol
iticians from the South are expected here
soon to discuss the succession quietly before
Congress opens. Gen. Pierce believes his
chance for nomination from the South, bet
ter now than ever, Wise is sanguine that
Virginia viii stand by him.

the fire that the travellers and boarders,

PREsIDENTIAL.-Our friends who send us
letters proposing the name of this or that
Statesman as the Republican candidate for
next President, are respectfully informed
that we deem all discussion on that point
ill-timed and unadvisable. Let us first fight
the Kansas battle in Congress before we look
toward the next Presidency. We cannot
now guess who ought to be presented for
next President. If we can secure Kansas
to Freedom by even losing the Presidential
battle, we are ready to do it.. The approach
ing Session will make many regulations and
mar many; we can see far clearer as to the
selection of candidates six months hence
than now.
We hope it may not be deemed necessary
to hold a Republican National Convention
if it should be we would have it assemble
before the 18th of July next, which we be-
lieve is the anniversary Of the passage of the
Ordinance of 1887, whereby Slavery was
forever excluded from all Territory North
West Of the Ohio. We hope to see the day
when every voter will indorse on his cleo
toral ballot the names of the men of his
choice for President and Vice-P President, and,
the Endorsements being duly counted, the
sufrages of the largest number of Republi-
cans throughout the Union shall determine
for whom all the Republican electors shall
cast their votes. But more of this by and
by.-N Y. Tribune.
FkoM KANsAs.-At the election for Dele
gate to Congress on the 9th, returns from
twenty-six precincts give Reeder 1895 votes,
and still twenty y-nine precincts remain to be
heard from. It is thought his vote will ex-
ceed 5000. No person was permitted to
vote unless they had been actual residents
Of the city or town for 80 days previous.
Active measures were being taken to contest
the election of Whitfield before the House.
Delegates have been chosen to prepare
State Constitution for Kansas, with a petit
tion for her admission into the Union, which
will be forwarded to Washington by Gov.
Reeder, when he goes to claim his seat as
Delegate.

political shells have been divided again, and
we have now-in addition to hard-shells and
eoft-shells-a faction known as ha!f shells.
Then there are those tremendous shells
which took Sebastopol; but we much prefer
to sec and note the presence in st. Paul OF
fresh oyster shells--a large pile of which
can be seen in font of Rauch's. The oys-
tiers themselves are Of course kept and de-
voured inside the establishment and the
way they are going off would be astonishing

fifteen barrels of most delicious Baltimore
oysters, and from all appearances not many
of them will be left by this evening.
Face LovE.-Mayor Woods police pounc-
ed upon large assemblage Of the new sect
known as "Free Lovers" assembled in a
large saloon on Broadway on the evening Of
the 10Th, and conveyed the rinsleaders to
prison. The philosophers" both in panta-
looms and petticoats, were somewhat aston
ished and ashamed at this winding up of
their "social gathering" Four men were
committed to the cells, viz: Albert Brisbine,
disorderly conduct; Thomas Hartland, assault
and battery on an officer, and keeping disor-
derly house; John Henderson for interfering
with the police; Benjamin Henderson for at
tempting to hinder policeman in arrest of
prisoner. The next morning, Mr. Brisbane
was discharged, and the others-Hartland
and the two Hendersons-were held in $500
to appear. The Mayor has given orders that
the hall of the club be put under strict sur
veilance. The excitement about the City
Hall during the proceedings was intense.

can tells of Russian in that city who had q
wife who was a Brahmin in religious belief
The wife died, and on her death bed re-
auested, that according to the faith OF hel
fathers, her body should be burned. Aftel
death, the husband made preparations II
fulfil the wish, and had collected sixteer
cords of wood for the purpose. 1t created
an excitement in the neighborhood, and th'
Sheriff was called upon to prevent the burn
ing. The Russian asserted his right to burn
it being an exercise of freedom of religious
belief, and no law of Wisconsin forbade it
But, the Sheriff took possession Of the body
ordered coffin to be made, as well as tn
other preparations for Christian burial, t.
which the Russian reluctantly consented.

The Mayor of Buffalo has submitted to the
Council of that city plan of a tunnel under
the Niagara River, prepared by Mr.. William
Wallace. an experienced engineer, and also
an estimate of the work, made by the same
gentleman. The length Of the proposed riv-

and railway through the city, three miles
long. The total expense is estimated at $685.

expected that the city will incur any pecuni-

be readily organized that will subscribe for
and take all the stock necessary, and press
the work to an early completion; but he brings
