DenunCiatiOn Of skirts.

A Conference OF Clercymen somewhere
out west has been denounciOg hoops and
extension skirts, and decrying those who
use them as unchristian. 1t strikes us
that this is not only ridiculous but impert-
inent If preachers cannot find any more
appropriate business than meddling with
ladies' pctticoats, they had better trot
right back to the "beggarly elements Of
the world" There has been quite too
much of this priestly interference with
such matters, and people have become dis
gusted with it.
1t may Cor may not) be in. bad taste for
ladies to wear the fashionable skirts and
hoops; but that is theirs, and their hus-
bands concern and an attempt to mag
nifty the practice into sin liable to cleri-
cal denunciation Is, as We said, imperti-
nsnt.-Lyons (N. r Republican.
We agree with you, friend, that it is
none Of their business, any more than
would be the selection of their dinners.
Indeed, so prone have Clergymen become
to meddle with the private affairs of their

Denunciation of Sin by general applica-
tion has been supplanted by especial de-
nunciation of Special Sins, and the pull
pitts fast being suborned as rostrum from
which to proclaim the bitterness of per-
sonal malice. We begin to think that
such medd!ing by the clergy, if left uu-
checked in its workings, will result in a
religious despotism rivaled only by the
Romish Church.
The clergy should remember that their
credentials as christian ambassadors do not
empower them to look beyond the spiritu-
al welfare of those among whom they are
sent and we do not conceive now the cir
cunference Of woman's petticoats, or
the cut Of mans coat, Influences their re
Iigious sincerity. If their heart is clean

respondiugly comely? Indeed, we feel
constrained to say that before a womans

Conference must obtain complete control
If the Parisian fashi0n-makers, as well as
invent some style Of petticoats which is
more healthy, comfortable and comely-a
task they willfnd to be eminently more diff
cult than passing denunciatory resolutions
relative to the present style. We confess
to have entertained dislike Of them at
first but we are now as firmly convinced
of their necessity to the comfort, ccnven-
ience and health Of ladies as we were then
ready to denounce them. IF We had been
unable to discover any utility in them
beyond the mere qualification of woman's
vanity, our dislike of them would perhaps
have continued until now-indeed, but
for the realization of their utility by the
public generally, they would long since
have succumbed to popular derlSlon and
thus would that western conference of
clergymen have been saved the trouble of
denouncing them by resolution at this
late date. We hope those pious seers will
grow in wisdom in proportion to their

the Administrators in this respect will be
involved in the result, but the new idea,
lately enunciated, that the President is

Cabinet and the powers that be shall
