children Of two neigboring families had their
daily quarrels and fights, which resulted oc-
casiJnally in bruised faces and torn garments,
The father Of one family believing his children
to have been sadly maltreated, and being
passionate man, concluded that the surest
way to settle the difference between their

We have always observed that the most of
those people, who are shocked that ministers
will occasionally preach politics. or apply
great religious principles to the udlniuiStra-
ton OF the government. or because clergymen
manifest an interest in moral and religious
questions upon which political parties are
also divided, are usually persons of very
lttie religion or very bad poitcs-commun-
ly both, Men whose politics will not bear
the test Of Christian principle are very apt
to scoh at any suggestion Of comparison ond
men, whose religion is a housed-up, Sabbath
idol, never to be thought of, regarded of a
week k-day, or applied to any Of the business
of life, undoubtedly have holy horror of
all Efforts of others 10 make their religion "A
practical thing. Comparisons are oiious. and
that Pharisaicul and sDlcman respectabiiity,
That has place for everything, and very
narrow place Tor its religion, forever shouts
',procW o procW este protdui,' when the
New Testament or its principles are suggested
on any other day but the seventh, or applied
to any other than the formal business Of that
day. Such men think religion vastly prop
er thing Tor ministers, women and sick folks,
particularly if they are poor, but altogether
not the thing 10 disturb men Of business or
politics.
Now we think il is Just because religion
mas pcuh thuH l'fHt VI ana huuttu out Ol
respectable society, and the administration
of our government Affairs, that politics and
trade have become So deyilish. More religion
would do them both good, and that religion
which is damaged in the application to prac-
tical life Is not worth the preserving. If
religion is not worth the living by, it Is hard
~ valuable to preserve for dying purposes
II II be OF no value here, we cannot see how
1t can serve us u turn hereafter
We welcome, therefore, disposition TO
apply the great practical truths of religion
to politics We believe it would do both
sides good to bring them directly to the great
vital tests to give religion life, to give poll
ties decency, morality and. conscience. We
do not fear that either will get too great
share of those qualities. The best We can do,
religion will be too much profession poll
ties too much rascality.--SprmgGcH

DR. BUNrINI4's .STATEMENT.

Bosrox, May 2D.-Dr. Bunting of Montreal,
Canada, states in letter liz the evening Journal
that he was in the gallery Of the Senate Cham
Der, at the time CT the assault on Mr. Sumner.
lie says he saw Mr.. Brooks approach Mr.. s.,
not i'll front, but at enc side Of his desk and adj
dress some words i'll a low tone and then at the
moment Mr.. Sumner raised his head, turning
it or one side, TO listen, he poured down on him
blow after blow with the greatest rapidity. Mr.
Sumner struggled several times TO raise from his
seat, but was evidently so much hcnlmed in rs
to be utterly incapable Of raising until he had
by great effort torn his desk from its fastenings
and then hcdforwart, insenSibEc, on the floor.
While this was progressing Mr.. Kcitt stood,
with ore land ton:isfing u large cane and the
other holding pistol behind him, partly con
cealed under his coat; but which DR.. Bunting
saw very distinctly projecting from between the
laps of his coat. Dr. Bunting says he was,
FROM his position in the gallery directly above
the actors in the scene and enabled to see ti,i;
very clearly. Duras the assault Mr.. Douglas,
he asserts, stood within five feet Of Mr.. Sumner,
with his hands III his pockets. DIR. 3. assisted
