The CATHOLIC CHURCH on DRUskEssEss.
Bishop Bayley, the Catholic Bishop Of
New Jersey, has issued manifesto bringing
the machinery Of the Church 10 bear against
the vice Of drunkenness. His letter on the
subjec! has been read in all the churches, in
which he calls attention to two classes. the
drunkards themselves and the dealers in
liquor. Leaving to the pastors the choice Of
the particular means TO be used, he suggests
that each should keep list of the drunkards
and liquor dealers in his church. He slys:
! am determined to make use Of the most
severe measures against all who are addicted
to this scandalous and destructive vice; and If
they continue in the practice of IL, they must
do it IS outeasts from the Catholic Church
who have no right to the name of Catholic
while they live, nor to Christian burial when
they die.

~ The superiority of this weeks issue

with one Of the legal brethren, but the Lord
only knows what has become of him by this
tims-five days in charge Of the "shystersr'
mo offence, gentlemen, if you please, it's
only familiar way we have of calling persons
and things by their proper aPpellation.
Mr.. Editor is a small man-in stature, we
mesn-and not used to being 'around" much,
and We hope some phiIanthropic friend in
Roane will take him in charge and use him
tsnderly until zoe can meet with an opportu-
nifty to have aim brought back.
Since the above was in type, "Mr. Editor"
has arrived 10 good health and we'll condi-
toned. He has only time this week 10 an
nounce his return (Which is importantly and
tender thanks for the substantial evidences
of the appreciation in which the "Post". is
held "over there" Roane has the most
comfortable and conveniently constructed
Courthouse in East Tennessee, and an excel.
lent set of officers, as is evidenced by the
businsss-ike manner in which every thing
moves along about the temple of Justice
Judging from the crowd attending Court, the
county has an industrious and thrifty popu-
la,ion. Kingston has two good hotels, a
large Academy, and some very nice buildings,
but, like our own pleasant town, its general
appearance is somewhat Of an aniigus type.
We had the pleasure Of meeting with our
friend, John Fleming, Of the Knoxville Reg
ister, and several other distinguished citizens
Of the Metropolis of East Tennessee,
and also with prominent citizen of Scott.
Some little excitement in Roane abaut the
contest for County Trustee. For the other
county Offices to be filed at the approaching
election, there is no opposition TO the present
incumbcnts.

JOHN BELL AND ANDREW JOHNSON.

JOHN BELL AND ANDREW JOHNSON.
The following is a brief account OF the
passage at arms between Bell and johnson
in the U. S. Senate:
Mr.. Bell. Of Tenn, presented resolutions
Of the Legislature respecting his opposition
to the Nebraska bill and endorsing the Le-
compton Constitution, and intimating that he
ought to resign. He referred to the date of
the resolutions, doth February) four years
after the vote was given, which the resolu-
tions eensursd, and it had been usual when
the constituents of member of Congress
felt aggrieved at his course to act promptly.
Fillmore. who declared that had he been a
member Of Congress, he would have voted
against the Nebraska bill, received sixty-six
thousand votes in Tennessee for President
Etheridge, who voted against the Nebraska
bill was returned to Congress by an inereas-
ed vote. He thought. at no time since the
repeal OF the Missouri Compromise had there
been any settled indication Of the opinion Of
the South on that question, and he believed
that il q fair and impartial vote could be
taken, there would be an overwhelming ma
jority pronouneing it the most unfortunate
measure ever passed by Congress.
johnson. OF Tennessee, replied, showing
that in 1854, before the passage of the Ne.
braska act, the Tennessee Legislature passed
resolutions approving that measure, and re-
questing the members of Congress from Ten
nesse to support it. The Nebraska act was
also the main issue Of the elections of 1855
and 1857. He eontended, therefore, that q
large majority of the people of Tennessee
condemned Mr.. Bells course, and asked Bell
whether he would vote for the Leeompton
Constitution with or without instructions
Bell said he would not, in consequence of
instructions, unless he was fully convinced
that the Instructions were founded upon
full understanding of the subject in all its
bearings and consequence.
johnson proceeded 20 draw a parallel be-
tween his own course and that Of Bell upon
the slavery question, placing the latter's
opinion at disadvantage in the eyes of the
South. He hoped there would be no more
compromises.
Bell complained of his colleagues speech
as the bitterest, most insulting and personal
ever coneocted by premeditated malice. He
was ready to meet the Senator at any time
or any other who should back him. ISensa-
ton.
Seward asked Bell to give way for adjourn
ment.
Bell refused. He was ready now to vind-
cate his course
Foote pressed Bell to yield, and thus stop
the discussion.
Bell was willing to yield Il e floor for an
executive session, provided he could have the
floor tomorrow.
