Chapiains on the stump.

We were in Cincinnati some time ago /,
and attended meeting Of the "ChriStian
Commission" that was held in the Vine
street Congregational Church. Rev Mr.
Boynton. Pastor OF that Church, who
is Jacobin of the Conway school, made
q bitter partisan speech, stigmatising
Democrats as "traitors," "butternuts,
"copperheads," etc,,-aiming, evidently
to incite his hearers to acts of violence
against those who do not believe in his
political preaching, and who regard him
as an Emissary of the Prince of this
world rather than an Embassador Of
Christ.
Brigadier General Cox was the prin-
cipal speaker at this meeting. He made
a practical sensible speech, which was in
happy contrast with Boyton's. II was
chiefly in relation to Army Chaplains
and their work--or rather, the work they
are appointed to perform, but don't per-
form. In the course Of his remarks. the
General stated that his observation salts.
fed him that only about one-sixth Of
those who are drawing pay as Army
Chaplains, are discharging their duties;
or are making efforts in that objection, =
His estimate Of the number of Chaplains
"on duty" is; we believe, quite as high as
the facts will warrant-judging from our
own observation, as we'll as from the
large number who, under pay of the Gov
ernment, are now on the stump belching
forth their puerile anathemas against the
Democratic party. In many instances,
we understand. they receive pay from Alb
clifton committees, in addition to theiI
pay as Chaplains in the Army. Th;
moneys that these committees disburss
are collected from Government contrac.

their boots for fear that our late victor,
