Political Black mail.

We have received communication from Oh
employe OF the Post Office Department ia this
city, in which the writer says 1T is currently
rumOred among the attaches of the Post Office,
that on the next payday, they are to be taxed at
the rate of two per cen- of their yearly salaries,
in order TO raise a fund for conducting the Fall
election campaign" We know nothing about
the truth OF this rumor, but as Post Office and
Custom House emploTes are usually freely bled
for political purposes, there is good reason to
believe the correctness of this statement. Now
We hope that il the heads OF these departments do
not voluntarily break up this imposition, that the
President will do it for them. The greater part
OF the attaches, thus taxed, can doubtless well
afford it, foI they receive large salaries and have
but very little work to But there are many men
employed to do physical labor in these depart
ment-. and clerks with small salaries, who are
not able to bear this fleeing for political pu;-
poses. We would make no discrimination. how

disgrace 10 the officers who permit it,

MONTGOMERY HAIR AGAIN

MONTGOMERY BLAIR has published two of his
speechos-One on The MoSRoK Doctrine" aud
one in Defense OF the People of the Southern
States" These speeches are familiar 10 the
public, but one Of the notes contains something
new:

Immediately that General Lee was seen riding

begirt with his sword, the rumor few like wild
ire through the Coniederatcs. Ii might be in
agined that an army, which had drawn its last

the Arrest OF the Kev. O.. ID. Eus-
tOn-A Dcsecsation OF the House o z
God.

Our readers are aware that an attempt has
been made by certain parties in Newport Ken
lucky, to prevent the Rev l.. ID Huston from
preaching in the Tayor street Methodist Church
| IN Newport, to which pastorate he had regularly
been assigned by the late Kentucky Conference,
held at CovingtOn. The matter was brought be-
tore the Court, and Judge Doniphsn rendered a
decision, in which the church was declared to be
lawfully in possession of Mr. Huston. and the
par. es opposing, some, if not all OF whom were
IN the church. we're enloiDed from any further in
reference with the action of the Conference and
OF the legally constituted authorities Of the
church. Here, it supposed the matter
would drop, and that all further opposition would
cease.
What, then. was the public astonishment to
learn, yesterday, that while the Reverend Mr..
Huston was holding the Quarterly Meeting, the
house of God was violently invaded by a negro
guard of soldiers, acting under military author
ity, the preacher arrested at the altar taken and
confined in place of imprison meut and his
congregation driven from the church at the
point OF the bsyonet. Ii is difficult TO chara cter-
ize this performance in the terms which il de-

regard OF law or OF order, or a greater contempt
for public decency.
Every man, whatever may be his political or
religious views, who has any sense of honor or
justiee-who is not entirely lost to both-will be
prompt in his condemnation OF this remark able
act OF lawessness. The Rev. Mr. Huston who
is the victim, is a native of this city and gradu-
ate OF Woodward College. and is one OF the most
brilliant and gifted men who have lett that inst
tuition. He is a preacher OF fervent pety of
spotless character. and possesses rare eloQuence
and ability. He was in the South at the COM
mencemeni OF the war, opposed secession in all
Its ncipient steps, voted against IL in Tennessee;
but after il was decided upon, he went with the
people aud church OF that section. The war
over. he accepted its results. took the osth OF
allegiance 10 the Federal Government, and was
assigned by the regular organization of his
branch of the Methodist Church to the Newport
pastorate-an assignment thai gave great salts
faction TO that congregation.
We do not suppose that the President of the
United States would sanction in the least this
violent outrage-this contempt for the laws Of
Kentucky, and for the action of an influential
body OF churchmen On the contrary. We have
right to suppose. from his action in some church
cases in New Orleans and in Nashville, that be
