A MISSIONARY SENTENCED.

One of the city missionaries of Boston, Rev.
Peter Mason, was invited, with his family a
short time since, to spend the afternoon at the
house of friend, and on returning, be found
his house In the hands of crowd of people,
at the head of whom was Judge Russell of the
Police Court. The Judge explained the unu-
suaI demonstration to be ssson account OF the
conduct" of the missionary, and proceeded TO
pass the following sentence:
Father Mason: You have been accused OF
divers grave offences. 1t is charged that hay-
ing the fear of God and the love Of man be-
fore your eyes, moved by the instigation of
humanity, you have habitually sought and re-
lieved tine destitute, the sick and the afflicted
that You have preached the gospelto the poor
that you have comforted those in prison. Il
is said that you have believed that even the
men aud women who have been convicted Of
being ssdrunk by the voluntary use Of infoxi-
eating liquors. might yet have hearts 10 feel
and souls to save. You are further charged
with diminishing the number Of inmates at the
Jail, (and the jailor conspires TO cloak your Of
fence y with reducing the fees Of constables
and the business of the Court. You bring the
laws into contempt by preventing the crimes
which they are intended to punish. You are
known to be an old offender, and you have de-
clared that ycu will not depart from these ways
as long as you live.
Now receive the sentence OF the Court-ana
as famous Judge said on sending convict
to State Prison for life-I wish coald give
you heavier sentence, (giving him purse OF
sl38 in gold.) And you, Mrs. Mason, as you
have shared your husbands trials, anC helped
him to bear his Affections, as only woman
could, it is right that you should share his
joys, (giving her purse of $500 Our gift is

warm regards of these friends, but with the
prayers of many who have been in distress or

WHITTIER ARE WE TENDING ;

This is question that protrudes itself upon
us as we peruse the many accounts of all man
ne- OF viliainies, vices and murders that are
being daily committed in different sections OF
the United States. Judging from the un2re-
cedented number of murders, 10 say nothing
of the less beinous offences, that are Of such
frequent occurrence that il is almost Impossi-
BE to keep record of them, cannot re-
frain from thinking that there is q most deplo-
rable lack Of morality and virtue in our coun-
try "The world of New York, . as that city
has been called, has during the past three
weeks been in high state of excitement about
the murder of DR.. BurdelI, AMI the Gotham
ties must needs keep up such a constant and
unremitting agitation of every circumstance
connected with it, that they have succeeded in
attracting the attention of the whole country
to il. The result has been that their Massa-
chusetts neighbors have got up tragedy Of
their own, Mrs. Gardner, wife Of the postmas-
ter al bingham, being charged with poisoning
her husband, and they are trying to get up as
much ado about it as the New Workers have
over the Burdeil case. The public prints are
filed with horrible and disgusting details of
these murders, anu people read theLl Win as
much gusto and relish as they would roll "a
-smeet sayory morsel under their tongue''
Iamentable proof Of the vitiated popular taste
OF the day. The murder Of Young Norcross
at Altoona, Blair county, although less noise
has been made about it, is in every respect
equal TO the other tragedies named, and fur
nishes another sad evidence Of the prevailing
Geprayity. We have named but few promi-
nent cases but they are all-suficent to show
the deplorable state Of morality in our land.
1t sickens the heart, when one reflects upon it,.
But SO it is; and we think the cause of it can be
found in the foIlies of the fashionable the graf
ification OF the sensual appetite, and more than
all, in the lore Of gold An inordinate desire
20 accumulate wealth, induces men to commit
frauds, forgeries, swiudles, thelts, from bank
vobbing down TO horse-stealfng, and these gem
orally are the inductive lessons that lead to the
taking of human life. Where all this will
end, is more than human ken can fathom; and
well may We, with the worst forebodiugs, ask,
Whittier are we tending?

PHILADELPHIA CONTESTED ELECTION CASE
The investigation into the alleged frauds in
Philadelphia is bringing to light some rather
startling frauds. One of the clerks of the
Court, named Derringer, who was up for ex-
animation, disclosed the fact that hundreds of
naturalization papers were issued prior 10 the
election last fall, without the knowledge OF the
Court. Derringer has implicated himself, and
the Court bound him over to answer to a charge
Of issuing fraudulent papers. Derringer was
one of Forney's men.

THE KkLLocH CASE.

The Locoioco papers are making considera-
bic ''fuss" about Rev. l. 6. Kaloch, of Bos-
ton, who they allege was traverssng Yankee
land with young lady, and regaling himself
With whiskey punch. The matter has been in
vestigated by a meeting and committee Of
Baptist clergymen and laymen were appointed
to visit Cambridge and inquire into the cir-
cumstances upon which the injurious reports
were founded. That committee reported, in
substance, that in their opinion, the charges
against Mr.. Kalloch are baseless and without
excuse-that they enenate from a source not
entitled to credit, and want any shadow Of con-
sistency as evidence. After hearing the state
ment Of Mr.. kalloch, and Of two of the Trus-
tees who had examined the parties to whom
the injurious reports were traced, the meeting
adopted and sanctioned the report Of the com
mIttee by unanimous vote.
The Boston Banner Of the l4th inst, SAYS
the meeting was composed of many of the
most respected members OF the different rcli-
gious denominations-clsrg and laymen
and the entire unanimity with which they
exculpated Mr.. kalloch, must be gratifying TO
his feelings while it will command tie respect
of the public. We heartily rejoice that he has
been able to make his innocence appear to the
satisfaction OF so large number of the most
intelligent members of the religions commu-
nifty. Their verdict might have been predict
ed from his past high character-a character
which, Notwithstanding the injurious reports
that have been circulated since the affair has
been agitated, We believe has been without the
stain of immortality. The community gener-
ally viii rejoice at this verdict of acquitta, for
no affair which has occurred in this city has
given more pain TO every high minded citizen
than charges which seemed to strike a blow at
even religion itself, and to make it a sneer and
a by-word in the mouths of scoffers We are
informed that it is not alone ti,e more iIlme-
diate friends of Mr.. Kaloch in this city who
believe hIm 10 be innocent, but that the most
gratifying testimonials Of the esteem in which
he is held have been received from the church
over which he was formerly settled

JUBLAST--The Locofoco papers contain
glowing accounts Of the ''grand reception" of
Ex-Goy. John Bigler, on his recent return to
California. According to their own accounts
extraordinary efforts were made to get up a
big demonstration, and cIlncst 2O0O people
were present. They evidently had a s:tall''
time of it, as would appear from the following
paragraph, which we clip from the account
published in sour neighbors'' paper:
''In the further part Of the dinner hall 4 ta-
bic was spread for the committees, at which
they seated themselves, along with the ex-
Governor. Vine tio,ced ig abundance, and at
the committee table spcecheswere made, toasts
given and drank, and hiLariiy and democracy
run rampant and riot throughout the entire

Protestant VERSUS CATHOLIC CHARTr.-A
recent report OF the New York Association
for improving the Condition of the Poor, com
plains Of the want Of cooperation among Ro-
man Catholics for the attainment Of the object
of the Society. While more than seventy-fye
per cent. of the Society's bcnefciaries are
Roman Catholics, not one per cent. of Its pc
cuniary means is derived from persons of the
ROmish faith. The report says:
ssAll our Protestant churches are charitable
institutions, from their foundation to their top
stone. They 50 care for their INDECENT mem
bers and families, that none are allowed to be
relieved by public aims, or to be thrown upon
the cold charities of the world. The same is
true, as general fact of the Jews amongst US.
But the Roman Catholics of this city, except
ing the relief of a few orphans make no cores
ponding provision for their poor, neither by
their churches otherwise; nor yet assist by
their contributions, those who are engaged in
this Christian duty. Their adult poor and
children. the sick, the aged, and impotent are
alike neglected by them. OF those who sub
sist on aims and oyerrun our city rs mendi-
cants, there is reason to fear that thousands
would perish every year, if unreieved by
| Protestant charity.
Remonstrance with them on the subject, is
uniformly met with the plea of poverty. But
it does not appear how such a plea is reconcil-
able with the admitted wealth of many of their
members-their boasted numbers-the mil
| lions Of money annually remitted b. them
| from this country to Europe-the millions in
vested in large and costly church edifces-
| and their numerous converts, confraternities
| schools, academies, colleges &c., which they
/ have founded among US, for educational uses
and the propagation of their faith.''
! We apprehend that the same is true in al
our large cities and towns. Thousands and
| tens of thousands of dollars are raised from
| the very poorest and most hard working clas-
ses in the community by the Catholic church
to build new churches and for the support Of
the priesthood, but the church has few or nc
charities which are not connected with relig.
ious propagandisnl.

is from the pen of the late Mrs. Caroline Lee
Hentz, whose writings are well-known and pop

fection. Wherever her works have been read
they have shed an atmosphere of purity and
piety, making one better for having perused
them. The volume before Us contains some.

KANSAS.

1t viii be seen by letter from our Kansas
correspondent, in another column, that new
and important move has been made in the Be-
gus Legislature toward the framing of a Pro-
Slavery Constitution.
This bill provides tor the taking of 4 census
or list of voters, by certain bogus officials
who have an absolute and unlimited discretion
to place on that list any person whom they
may choose to set down as an ssinhabitant" of
the Territory on the lst OF April next This
list is to be returned to the Judges OF Probate,
in each county, before the 10th of April, which
bogus official is vested with the power of ad-
May; inhabitancy on the 1st of April still be-
ing the only test provided.
These lists thus made ont are 10 be printed
and distributed, and on the basis of this emu
meration the Delegates, sixty in ali. are to be
apportioned by the Governor to the Election
Districts. The election Of Delegates is TO
take place on the third Monday in June, at
places fixed by the bogus County Court, and
to be presided over by three Judges ofElection
appointed by the same bogus tribunal. The
Delegates thus elected are to assemble at Le-
compton on the first Monday Of September
The bill contains no provision for submitting
the Constitution thus framed TO the approval
of the inhabitants of the Territory in
the interval between the choice of the Conyen-
ton and the completion of their lahors, will be
likely to double in number-and sueh sub
mission TO popular approval evidently forms
part OF the plan.
To Constitution framed by such a ConYen-
tion the same objection will lie which is urged
against the existing Free-State Constitution
namely, that of being the Constitution of fac
tion, and not free and full expression of the
sentiment of the people of Kansas. There is
the additional and most fa.al objection that
the people of the Territory have no check u
pom the doings of the sixty Delegates, who, if
they should happen 10 be mainly elected-as
past experience certainly shows to be possible
by MissourianS who had becume inhabitants
on the 1st of April for the very purpose of be-
ing registered on the list of voters, and whose
residence in the Territory may have ceased
with the act Of voting-the interval being also
mainly passed in Mi5souri-would neverthe-
less, under the provisions of this act, enjoy the
privilege of imposing Constitution on Kan
sas to which the real inhabitants of the Terri
tory would have no power Of saying nay. Is
there any reason why those inhabitants of Kan
sas who may become so in the Interval be-
tween the election of the delegates and the
completion Of the Constitution should he ex-
cluded from any voice as TO the Constitution
TO be dopted-especially considering that by
that time they may be decided majority of
the whole population ~. Y. Tribune.
