TnE SABBATH MOVEMENT IN ENoLAND.-Tho
British uouse of Commons have, by an overwhcl-
ming majority, rejected Sir Joshua Walmslcy's
motion for a less rigid observance of the Sal bath.
The London Times thus pictures the present
wretched way in which the working classes spend
Sunday
There are many thousand citizens living within
a mile of st. Pauls, and . good distance from any
thing to call a garden or IL green field. Of these
at least nineteen out Of twenty 60 to no place Of
worship on Sunday, don't emerge from their mus,
ty dens till the middle flhe day, pay an OCCASION
al visit to the gin-shop and sot, sit, sulk, or saunter
about during the rest Of the day. For our part,
we have frequently urged on the legislature the
duty of providing places of innocent recreation
for these peaple,-parks walks and pleasure
grounds,-but that is just what the Parliament
will not do. 1t will do no good, because doing
good is a difiult, anxious responsible affair, attend
ed with cost, and followed by occasional failures
1t will only forbid what it conceives to be harm,
for that is easy and cheap. 1t acts like the parent
who never gave FIVE minutes serious thought as to
what to do with his child, who never had q word
to say to it of an improving tendency, and very sell
dom of a cheering one, and who confines the ex'
ercise of his paternal dominion to scolding beating,
snubbing. thwarting, silencing, and all the other
forms Of interdiction."

FROM INDIANA.

To The Editor Of The Bugle; Please give room in
thy columns, to a fcw~brief lines that thy readers
may know, what we are doing in this dark and
benighted region, Kosicusco Co., Indiana. We
have resided in this place some two years, and
part Of the time almost sunk in hopeless despair
thinking. that no good could como out of Sodom.
But through renewed and redoublcd efforts we have
had to change our opinion in this respect, and con-
oludcd that there is no spot on this our Enrlh so
dark that the power Of truth cannot reach 1t IL
rightly applied. In the FIRST place we have been
holding q series Of debates on Womans rights TINS
winter In which We feel that we have achieved quite
q victery. Our opposers were seven in number,
some Of them professors and Divines rs they term
themselves.
Two sisters and myself had the affirmative, aided
By a y3ung Baptist who dared to declare the rights
of women. Our discussions have been attended
by large audiences and crowded houses. We have
been listened to with deep interest, establishment
and wonder, moro perhaps Of the later than the
former because the personal appearance OF a wo-
man in public is unusual in this place and to
appear in defence of her own rights has been held
shocking. Our opponents insisted on having
Judges, which we declined, believing the subject
TO be too new and startling for US to obtain q just
decision. But we finally gave way in our two last
meetings, and there were FIVE chosen who gave a
unanimous decision in our favor. We must not
omit mentioning here that our opposers wished to
fx our fate by the Scriptures and insiste1 thatMoth-
or EYES fall, was sufficient to seal our daunatien.'
[The opponents of these ladies afterwards challcn-
eed them to q discussion Of the consistency and
merits Of sheBible, which they accepted. Those who
gave the challenge, however did not appear, though
the discussion proceeded, the places of the delin
quents being supplied by volunteers. The discus
sion occupied two session. Our correspondent
adds:1
And as VIC still are readers of the Bugle, we
notice that there are yet workmen in the fed OF
reform, and now can we not solicit aid from some
of themf Can we not have help? We feel that
the work lie arduous, but ought to be accomplished.
Indiana has the blacklist and most inhuman laws
ahat disgrace any Of the Statutes of the pretended
free States Of the North! But still the slave finds
as we have been embarrassing or removing some
OF the rubbish out Of tho way, we believe there is
a field here that one day may be cultivated BY bet
ter aud nobler workman than we. Our numbers
are few, but we are resolved to stand firm and un'
yielding, never giving back, but biding defiance to
the black laws of our State. We also feel bound
20 aid the cause in procuring funds to assist any
proper agent, travelling through our parts.
Yours truly,
ELIZA T. FRANTZ.

HAVE WE A BLACK GOVERNOR
The Tribune says

We have all laughed at the ST, ry Of that French
Duchess, or Italian prince, or whatever other emf
nent member Of the European aristocracy, who
was soberly convinced that the people of the Uni
ted States were all black, and stubbornly refused
to believe the contrary; but when We find the same
Ignorance repeated in a leading journal of that
continent, and one, too, which ~enjoysa high repu-
ta,ion for the accuracy of its intelligence upon the
affairs of foreign countries, the case becomes Sc
rious. The journal to which we refer the indie
tendance Beige, is known as one Of the most intel
ligent and ably conducted in all Europe; and yet
some time since in announcing the election of Mr..
Chase as Governor Of Ohio, it gravely stated that
he was a negro, and congratulated the friends of
SOCIAL equality accordingly, Now, in the impress
sion of the Independence Of the 2lst ult., received
by the Africa, we find a similar blunder with ref
erence to Mr.. Speaker Banks. We translate liter
ally:
"The new Speaker of the House is q black of
Massachusetts, who belongs as his color sufficient
iy indicates, to the extreme party of AbolitloniSm.
This, then, is a victory gained by the North ovev
the South. Upon the whole, the journals declare
themselves satisfied with the choice. Mr.. Banks
is a man Of firm and upright mind, endowed with
great political sagacity, and, as his antecedents all
attest, with a calm wisdom"

THE GERMAN AMERICAN PRESS.

The Daily Times furnishes us with some N"i
Interesting statistics Or lhe German ncwSPhPuis W
this country. ii states that, within the li't hNt
gears, The character Of the German Press mas Iue"
elevated in a very high degree. The IersecV.iGnS
of the rcactiunory party; following TAG I'e'o'u''""
Of 1913, cxiled from Germany many OF the m9S'
learned writer's and orr final thinkers of that cCnn,
try, most Of whom found a refuge in the Ch'.su
States, where, quietly settling throughout 'nc
country. they Lctook themselves to various lhdus
trial occupations. many Of them at complete vafl-
ance with those they formerly pursued. The char
ucter Of the German population ct the States III
proved ly these accessions, demanded q more re-
spectacle and lett ter conducted class OF GERMAN
newspapers than was before known here, aud, as
a demand generally occasions a supply: 1t was me-
long before new journals were established, ahu
the OLD established ones improved. The new ones;
almost without except IN, opposed slavery anu
when tho Republican party was orgnnlzeG' nruch'-
lv embraced tina, cause. Many of The old oneS
also were obliged by public opinion TO follow their
example, while others have not AZ yet openly de-
clared in favour Of the Free State movement.
The Times gives us a classified list Of the most
important German journals, from which It appears
that there are in the free States thirteen Democrat
ic, seventeen openly declared Republican, aud SIX
%neutrals, mostly favouriDg Republicanisn. In the
slave States, there are six of the first, three OF the
second, and three of the third. TJial-nincteeu
democratic, twelve Republican, and nine neutral.
BESIDES those thus enumerated, there are quite a
number Of minor journals throu ghout the United
States several in Pennsylvania), many Of which
have embraced the Republican eause.
Some Of the papers counted as Democratic are
supposed to lean toward Republicanism, and if III,
Republican party is hot too much mixed up will
the Know Nothings, it is believed by many tina
the great majority Of German voters will, in tn
next Presidential election, vote for the Republican
candidates.

"CoSTENrT OF CorRT.''--The Washington CORES
pendent Of tho New York Times states that one
day last week, Mr.. Barbour Of Indiana asked leave
to Introduce in the House a I'LL providing for ar
appeal in eases Of alleged contempt Of Court; but,
objection being made by Mr.. L.etchor of Virginia
and others, it was not received. The purpose OF
this bill is to grant a trial by jury in case OF con-
tempt, when demanded by the accused, and thus
to ~circumscribe the despotic power Of a judge to
~imprison a man at will, because he chooses to deem
him guilty Of disrespect. The unwillingness Of
Southern men even to discuss a question of this
sort, does not argue much for their libera!ity or
confidence in the righteousness of the existing law.
The dill must however, get a hearing sooner or
later. BY the way, numerous petitions for The i'm
peachment of Judge Kane, for his arbitrary con-
duet in the case of Passmore Williamson, have
been sent to the House Committee on theJudiciary
an evidence hat such outrages are not to pass un-
noticed by the people Of the unit,d States, who a1o
Jealous of any and all encroachment upon the lib
erty Of the citizen, not sanctioned by the law OF
common justice and common sense.

Mr.. Clayton alluded to The great importance Of
the inter. Oceanic Canal, and looked at the reports
of the explorations Of the Pacific Rail Road, and
while he was sorry to dispcl an illusion SO pleas

Having alluded to Walkcrs's seizure Of the yes.

whether that Company had not connived at Wal.

MIR. Clayton replied that he had seen such .
statement, but did not know whether it was true or
not.
Mr.. Weller gavo notice that he would have
something to say, for he differed from the Senator
from Delaware very widely, relative to Walkers
character.
The Senate considered and passed bills for th:
improvement Of st. Clair and st. Marys rivers
Michigan, and for the removal Of distractions
from the mouth of The Mississippi river, and ais,
the improvement of the hartor of San Diego Cali
