COUNTY, CAL SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER IS 1885,
Politics in the Pulpit.

The introduction of politics in the pulpit
has become q social mania, and while it adds
but little to the enlightenment of the masses,
it is painful and disgusting to the quiet
Christian. TO select passage from Scrip
ture with all the solcmnity of student Of
divinity, discourse upon the truths aud events
recorded in the Bible, by way of an cXordi
um, and then launch forth with every cvi-
dcnCc Of malice and temper into assertions
applicable only to political hall, or a band
of thirsty d diSturbcrS of the Union and the
Constitution, is to say the least, most unbc-
coming. We have been tempted to indulge
the idea that large portion of the clergy
who utter political views and revolutionary
sentiments in the pulpit on the Sabbath, are
sadly deficient in theological learning, or else
their conception of the duties of the true
minister must be of an ordinary, if not n
questionable character We do not attend
church for the purpose of being listeners to
individual preiudceS to hear the land of
our birth threatened with civil war and alb
Solute destruction or to swallow the harsh
interpretations of men high IN Office, by the
indScrcet servants of our religious inStitu-

gospel promises, to hear the word of the
Omnipotcnt carefully but earnestly cNpound-
ed to have our faith strengthened 10y what
we may imbib3 from the lips and under
standing of the man OF God We are not
to be made restless and unhappy by de-
parturc from our belief nor taxed with opin-
ions so closely allied to party politics that
we shuddcr as we observe how little religion
appears to be respected when the designs of
mnn are brought into action
Can there be anything more inappropriate
to refined or reasonable mind than the
commingling of national affairs with pulpit
cloquencc? TO legislative bodies should
politics be entrusted, and the majesty of the
people find vent through the acts and Iideli-
ty of political agents The remedy for their
unworthiness, or the obnoXous features which
may exist in the laws of the land, can he
applied with Il greater degree Of power by
the press than the pulpit, us the Sanctity Of
the latter is annuled by any Introduction
foreign to its origin. In short pulpit Ii
ccnSe should be used with great dclicacy, as
the preacher may not only be convicted Of
his ignorance by the surprise and regret of
his hearers, but reminded of the responsible
ity which belongs to his calling

An INCIDENT OF TRAvEL.-The table was
laid for dinner in the spacious upper cabin
of what in those days--for the occurrence
which we are about to relate took place ma
ny years ago-was considered first class
river boat. The passengers were seated at
their meal, when staggering, dcvi-may-
care fellow-who had spent his time since
coming on board at 'Natchcz-mder-the-h
between corn whskey and cards-came saun-
tering in from the social hall,' and took his
place at the board at the same time draw
dg forth a brace Of hair-triggcrcd duclIng
pistols, which he cooked, and laid each side
Of his plate, in such manner that the muz-
zlc Of the loaded weapons were pointed di-
rcctly at the breast Of q grcy-headcd mcr-
chant, from New Orleans, a very quiet, un-
obtrusiye sort Of person, who sat opposite
the gambler.
Sir" said the old man, " will you do me
the favor to remove those pistols, for it is inn
possible for me to eat amy dinner, comlorta-
bly,, when my life is endangered by the very
careless manner in which you have thrown
down your weapons"
To this mild remonstrancc, the person ad-
dressed youchsafed no farther reply than an
oath, coupled with the intmaton. that " if
the old fellow didn't like it, he might leave
the cabin but as for himself he would not
move his firearms to please the best man
that ever walked"
Upon receiving this discourtcous reply,
the old merchant uttered not a word but
resumed ais chair from which he had partly
risen with the air Of man who had made
up his mind to endure an annoyance which
he could not prevent. In Il few moments,
however, he raised his head, made a signal
to the black man, a servant of his own, who
was attending him, and gave some whisper
ed order. The negro disappeared, entered
the merchants state-room, by its outer door,
but Immediately returned to his place beside
his masters chair, where he stopped down,
produced something from behind his back,
ana placed the articles, whatever they were,
in the merchants hands, as the old man put
them quietly back to grasp what he had sent
for. A moment more and all were clcctri-
fed by seeing the old gentleman straghten
himself up, with a cooked pistol in either
hand, which he leyeled full at the gamblers
head, at the same instant calling out:
If you stir, or dare to move a finger,
sir You are Il dead man."
lie then motioned to the negro who stood
grinniug at his side "Tom," said he, ego
round and take up that PERSONS pistols re-
move the caps. and lay them in his berth in
his statc-room, he won't need them, at least
until after dinner AS for you, sir" aided
he, turning to the dscomftcd swaggcrcr, as
Tom literally carried out his masters in
sructions, " fancy yon will not be dispos-
ed to bully even an oid man in future"
When the Screamer No. 3 stopped to
wood up some two hours afterwards, the
gambling man was, by particular re
quest" one Of those who went on Shore

A WRONG VIEW.

We have no doubt that Senator Toombs' Lecture
on Slavery recently delivered before the Boston An
ti.Slavery Committee was perfectly sound and able
discourse But we must repent our regret that any
Southern man should have consented to submit tt"
decision Of Southern rights Of property to such tn
bunal We are led to these remarks by hn following
comment, of the Washington Star
"Our impression certainly is, that nothing oeueF
for the cause of the constitution, as involved III '"t
current vrxed slavery question: can be done, th" 'e
delivery of lust such lectures throughout the nom
slaveholing Statcsby eminent orators from The S"ut
Hall the trouble the slavery question originates
! from the fact that while every demng"Gue III 'hc
North has mounted the anti-slarery hobby hs ma"
Ter of course, there few, indeed, there, thurouS
competent expose their misrepresentation "s tnr
truth, who willing To give thc Time ana rsk ''r
popular odium which j. apt To follow manly dissent
! from the c!ap-trap o the ruling demnG"G.m "I ''c
hour. Out of the vast congregation who listened :"
a:tru,ivry to Mr.. T"omhs, hundreds doubtless came
away with thoroughly changed minds while all ih':

This looks like covert attack upon the position nj
Governor Wise and Senator Mason who declined
to lecture in Boston, for the strongest ad m"s; con-
elusive reasons. Senator Toombs, We think, furnish
ed new urgunen; 10 the Abotnaists by recognizing
! their rgh; To discuss the moral or legal right OF
Southern Institutions. Moreover, are far from
believing that any good result can t"w from suc!
speeches, delivered 10y Southern men, before AhoI'
tiousts 1t is certain that Senator Toonbs was hlsscd
by portion of his audience, and we doubt not that
the effect of his lecture will be to furnish new food
| for nnti slavery agitation. Here we have one
| of the bad effects OF Senator Toonbs lecturlng
visit to Boston, and hope that every Southern man
will avoid his bad example.

SOUTHERN OW-NUTHINGISM.

Why should Sou,heiners prescribe Catholics and
Foreigners1 Do Catholics or Foreigners disturb, or
iniure society at the Southl Have we not enemies
.nourb al the North TO contend with without stirring
up two other parties TO oppose us! There but little
immigration 10 the South, and there was no compliant
among us, of either Catholics or immigrants untii
the Know Nothing party arose ut the North. lha'
party has joined the abolit"nists The prescription
OF foreigners at the South, is calculated 10 alternate
their attachment from the people, and the insi'u'ohS'
who thus prescribe them. The South already III Il
miuortv cannot afford 10 luse friends, ar make new
enemies. She might hy pursuing the path "i COM
mon fairness, equity and justice, make h0si "'
warm and constant friends. We weigh our words a.
we write. We mcun, that to allure foreigners and
Catholics to this country, by holding up to them as
the ASYLUM Of tho oppressed whore they would
speedily be admitted to the eqna rights Of citizen
ship; to induce them ~ settle among us By such pro-
mises and then to violate promise, to delny the
fruion OF citizenship, to deny them, when qualified,
the equal righ, to hold Office and to prescribe thc,
forever for difference of relislon-s violation OF
vested rights, and plain and pa!pahle departure
from fair dealing, justice and equity. AZ to those
| who immgrse hereafter, We inny, without breach o'
faith, or moral wrong, prescribe such terms as we
please. They sccsp, the terms by immiSratIng, and
cannot complain of injustice, however cruel those
terms Bat, in the South, we know, there is no "c'
c,son whatever to change the treatment, ur the law,
! as to foreigners and immigrants.
Instead of following the lead Of Yankee abolition
ist. if the South will do what is just and equitable in
this matter it will display its woned steadfastness,
consistency and conservatism, win the respect and
esteem of the world and make host Of friends,
North and South.
Can The Democracy, in or out of Congress, hold
terms with or compromise with party that cooliy
proposes, by an erpost tdct9 proceeding to cut oil
from tho equal rights of citizenship very large and
highly respectable portion of our people' We say
certainly not.
The Virginia now-Nothings have asserted the in
dyduali,y and free agency of men, by ceaslng to be
tho oath bound Instruments Of midnight lodges " c
congratulate them on the occasion whilst we regret
that the very equvoca position which they az the
Same time assumed as to tho Bolts clique anu South
eru rights, seems but the pulling one leg out o the
mjre in order to put the other deeper into II.
