Cicrsymen in the New York Legislature.
The Rev. Mr. Goodwin, who has just been
elected from the 9th Senatorial district in New
York, is the first clergyman who has ever held
seat in the Legislature.
The constitution Of TIT contained the fol-
lowing provision:
Sand whereas the ministers Of the gospel are,
by their profession, dedicated to the service Of
God and the cure of souls and ought not to be d.
verified from the great duties of their function !;
therefore, no minister of the gospel priest of any
denomination whatsoever, shall, at any time here
after, under any pretence description whatever,
be eligible to- or capable Of holding, any civil or
military Office or place within this State"
This remained in " full force until 1896"
when the present constitution of the State Of
New York was adopted %
Notices Of Books.
We have received from Messrs. +. w. Kinks,
q Co., publishers, Boston, Massachusetts,, a
work entitled "PAUL AND JULIA, or tho Po-
Rtical Mysteries, Hypocrisy, and Cruelty Of
the Leaders of the Church of Rome, by John,
Claudius Pitrat, Of the University of France,
executor Of Ia Presse du Psuple,' in Paris,
author Of Jesuits Unveiled, and formerly Ro-
man Catholic Priest"
The work contains $40 pages---price in
cloth, gill, 81 in plain cloth, 70 cents, and in
paper, so cents Address as above.
Wehave not found time to peruse this book,
but 1t is highly recommended by many news
papers Of character and weight The Boston
Bee thus speaks OF it:
"Ws prophecy that this work will create de-
cided sensation, and command readers and admit
rers throughout the land. 1t ia book Of rare
merit; and is written in style that unites power
with taste, beauty with strength 1t is worthy the
name Of q man ofletters-one who has seen much
Of men and society. To US the work has the fasci-
nation OF the novel; and the attractions of real pic
lures of life. 1t deals both with real and fictitious
characters and we are at loss to tell which is
the better or more admirable. The Church Of
Rome is revealed in its pages in new and most in
teresting phases There are, too, high and noble,
and tender and beautiful sentimentsthose to touch
the head and the heart-@in the volume. To all
American minds--indeed, to all who would learn,
and in doing SO be charmed by powerful and beau
tifnl writing-we cordially commend this work
II is worthy of mention that portions OF the manu-
script of this volume were read before some Of the
literary clubs of Paris and received the applause,
among others, Of Eugene Sue, who complimented
certain passages as far superior to any of his own
writings"
We have also received, from the same pub
fishers, &c. w. Kinks & Co., Boston, Massa-
chusetts,) smaller volume, entitled "Ameri-
cans Harmed Of Jesuitism, or tho Jesuits In
relied, by the same author. Price not stated
We have examined this work with some care
1t is book which should be read by every
American gentleman. We cannot commend
it to the perusal of ladies. If one tenth part of
what the author states be true, we have hith-
erto had but faint idea of .esuitisn,, and vet
we have long considered the Jesuits the most
dangerous enemies, not only of free institutions,
but of morality. The author Of this expose has
been himself Catholic priest, and was the
founder Of the Presse du Peuple in Paris, and
evidently is man of high literary attachments.
We have no reason to doubt the entire nc
curacy of his statements, nor can we divine
motive on his part for misrepresentation.
His own history is found in preface to this
book, and he is endorsed by many well-known
gentlemen Of the Valley of the Mississippi, in
which he for some time offciated as a Catholic
priest, prior to his resigning that Office to the
bishop of New Orleans. We hope this book
will find its way into the hands of emery read
ing man IN the United States.
We have received from Messrs. Greeley and
McElrath, publishers, New York city, the
+" Wing Almanac, for 1867 This publica-
ton contains GA pages, and is partly filled
with valuable statistics for reference 1t also
contains the legislation of the United States
on the subject offugitives from labor, with sun
dry speeches of W. II. Seward, and others,
against slavery, &c, &c.
1t also contains chapter on the Know
Nothings," not very favorable to the order; also
a chapter on the war in Europe, the reciprocity
treaty, &c.
Were II not for the political portion of the
Almanac, we could commend 1t to the patron
age Of our friends. As it is, we cannot recon-
mend it; but IL the publishers do not think
this notice worth the price Of the work, they
can draw on us for the price, at sight
