RELIGIoN.-Human societies are born, live
and die upen the earth. But they do not
contain the entire man. There remains TO
him tho noblest part of hmself-those lofty
faculties by which he scars to God-io u
future life, to unknown blisses in an invisi-
BILE world. These are his religious convic-
tons, that true grandeur of man, the conso-
lation and charm Of weakness and misfortune,
the inviolabe refuge against the tyrannies Of
this world.
Religion exists in itself and by itself. 1t
is truth itself over which the laws have no
jurisdiction. Religion has of human only
its ministers, weak men like ourselves, liable
to the same wants, subject TO the same pas
sions, mortal and corruptibe organs of ia
comparable and immortal truth.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CITY DEBT.


BY decision of the Supreme Court, recently made,
the city indebtedness in addition to the fact of its hay
Ing been re ced under the last funding bill passed Is
placed precisely in the same category with that OF the
Sste. Tie charter under witch il was created, e1-
pressly forbade the creation of any indebtedness ex
ceeding $50 co., just the Constitution prohibited
The legislature from running the State into debt over
e3IO 600. Now, in relation to the rejected scrip, of
which there is about 81 800 600 still saost it is well
known and acknowledged that much Of il is quite as
meritcrious as that which was funded and that the
of ts rejection was that in the creation Of the
debit which il represented certain formalities
not observed which were in the creation Of that which
was funded. 1t not because the city had not
ceived equitable consideration for the larger portion
Of the scrip Issued that il was rejected as much which
really more meitorous; really more deserving Of
pa, nent than 81 me of that which was embraced within
the provisions of the funding bill.
We, therefore, are Obliged to look upon the rejected
