EfdE PEN1KENT1ARY LEASE.
a commi.:.c :.ce Of the lower House Of the
Legislature is engaged in investigating the
circumstances under which the Legislature Of
16U3 leased the conricts To James II. Tttman
and hts con1cdcrates for Elk years. It is gen
c1al1y believed 1hat the bill was passed BY
proluse use Of money, and that many mem.
bers who voted fot tic lease were b,i1etl to do
60. Chas. II. Reed, Eaq., District Attorney
for Cook and Lake counties, is supposed 10
know considerable in relation to the matter.
It is alleged that one Hendricks, Of Indiana,
who was secret partner in the lease or it's
assignment, exhibited to Mr.. Reed list
Of the names Of the members who voted for
the lease with the amount. paid to each
for his vote. FIR. Reed claims that
the paper was shown hin IN professional
confidence" and therefore he refuses to di.
rulgo What he knows. VIC observe Tint the
Judges Of the Supreme Court have declined
10 take him ont Of the hands Of the House, on
the grounds Of want Of jurisdiction, tho Leg
islature, being coordinate branch Of the
State Government, hayins complete jnrisdic-
ton in such cascs.
The ayes and nays on the passage OF tae
Pen{tcntiary Lease swindle, We believe. have

without the consent Of the city OF Chicago.

tain this position. We propose in this arti-
Gle to cite additional authorities, not only
tending to the enme conclusion but enlosc-
ing it, rs We believe, beyond tho possibility

A CLASS Of politicians in this coun-
try have for years been engaged in
abusing the ministry Of the country,
for what they are pleased to call politi-
cal preaching. Whenever any ministers
Of the Gospel undertake to expose any
OF the sins Of political parties, discuss
any OF the great moral questions that
may by any means enter into the con
troversies of political organizations, or
as citizens express opinions or take
any part in the political affairs of the
State or Nation, unless in aid of the
20 called Democratic party, they are
uAsparingly denounced as political
preachers. and every means that po.
litical cunning, INSCRIPTIONS partizan.
ship, or malicious inidelity can invent,
are freely and persistently used to
poison the minds OF the people, and
prejudice them against the clergy.
The people OF the religious world
have too long and too tamely submit.
ted to the pot-houso politicians theory
that a minister Of the Gospel, or pro-
fessor. of Christianity has no business
TO meddle with the political question,
OF the country. Ifthe minister's and
professors of Christianity did not have
to live in the State or Nation, and be
subject TO their laws and institutions
: there might be some reason in the claim
that they should not meddle with DO.
litical questions; but as they do live in
tho State and Nation aud are forced &c
render obedience to their laws, it. IL
very ridiculous to claim that the moral
and religious element In society shall
stand alooffrom political organizations
and leave the devils ministry and laity
the wicked and evil-dispossd, the con,
tsmnsrs Of everything good or respect.
