HYPocNsY AND MURDER.-The prodigious by
pocrisy Of some men who curse the Christian re-
ligion in protesting its virtues, Is shown in the
case Of DR.. Pritchard, the English wife murder
er, who rose from an adulteTous bed one morn
ing and wrote thus in his diary coucetuihe the
wife he had poisoned: "-l7, Friday. Died here
at l, a. m. Mary Jane, my own beloved wife,
aged 39 years; no torment surrounding her bed
side, but like calm, peaceful lamb Of God =;
passed Minnie away. Prayer on prayer till mine
be Ger, everlasting love. Save us, Lord, for Thy
dear Son."

In this land, aud the worst passions Of men have
been suffered to run to seed, during the war
There was never before such laxity OF morals
50 this country as there is to-day-so little re-
gard for honesty amoDg men or virtue among
women. There is no Disgusting this fact; 1t Is
palPable to every one; and the state Of the
country calls upon all good citizens 10 exert
themselves for reform. The war clergy ARE
morally responsible for this state Of things; lei

That the political clergy have done more than
all others to produce the state Of affairs above
described is undeniable; and il is equally ap-
parent that they are both disinclined and unable
to undo the work Of immortality and wickedness
so thoroughly done. They have been false
guides, not blind ones, to the people, wilfully
leading them in the paths of wckedness. They
have done this from the same motives that gov
ern other petty demagogues. As a class they
have shown themselves most dishonest and un-
worthy of public respect than aay other; and
the day is not far distant when this will be the
settled conviction of the mass of honest and in
tellgent people. Whether they can or will DO
anything to aSett the natural consequences OF
this fact and conviction, remains TO be seen. If
so, the sooner they set about it and the more
earnestly they labor in the work, the better il
will be for themselves and the people.-TNew

Farmers and mechanics are taxed to raise the
money. These assertions are not political dod-
ges, but plain, unhealthy facts. Farmers are
taxed and bonds are not. The tax on n farm
valued at $4,000 is forty-6ve dollars, besides
per cent. on products, etc. The tax on $40, 500
in bonds is nothing. Can any one help but see
that the Republican party, in having full sway
in carrying out its principles, have proved a
curse and humbug? Aud now to cap the eli
max of their power, they propose to chuck the
white race down with a race of pestilential ne
grOes and call them brothers. Is it not tim for
sensible men to turn away in disgust? Is there
any wonder the Democratic ball is beginning 10
roll-that the sober second thought of the peo-
pie is beginning to be manifest?

Thou hast gone to the mansion prepared for

Where rest thou forever thy sweet gentle head.
Thou hast left this cold world and its vast lur-

Ere thy young heart knew its sorrows or had

Then why call the back from the blue vault OF

We know thou art happy and free from the
strife.
Oh, yes, could you hear the voices of angels,
That are Singing in gladneSs in Heaven above,
Thy tear-drops would dry in a meek resiguA-

Notes of Third Series of 9.3Os now
ready.

The demand for the Second Series of
the 80 Notes was So great that the
Treasury Department Was unable to print
them with sufficient rapldity to fill the
orders. 1t will be remembered that a
hundred millions were subscribed and
paid for in single week. The printing
presses have finally surmounted the diff
Guilty, ant on Wednesday, juno 9TH, the
deliveries of the Third Series commenced
and viii be continued with the same
promptness that marked the supply Of
the notes, Of the first and second series
1t has been this interruption of delivery
at the time Of subscription which has
given an appearance Of falling off in the
popular taking of the loan,-the great
body of small takers being unwilling to
pay their money unless they receive their
notes right in hand, to carry them home.
1t is expected that after this week the
daily subscriptions to the Seven Thirties
will run up into millions, as they will un-
doubtly be stimulated by the opening of
the farmers wool markets East and West.
1t is not at all likely that the Government
will ever again offer so desirable a secu-
rity as these notes, and about two hundred
millions only remain to be taken
With the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and in
vestors must look for sharp reduction
IN the rate Of interest as soon as the pres
ent loans become due and can be paid off.
There is no reason why the United States
credit for Money should ever again fall
below its credit for courage. The same
spirit that preserved the geographical in
tegrity Of the country will place its pc.
cuatdry integrity on par with that OF
the most favored nations-and that will
represent rate Of interest under rather
than over four per cent

Geld and Silver Mines Of Nevada.

During the past year additional discov-
coyeries Of gold and silver have been
made in the region fanking, on the east
ward, the mountain ranges of the Sierra
Nevada, which renders it probable that
Nevada, with its immense treasures Of pre-
cious metals, is destined to exert an infu.
ence hitherto having no parellel in the
history Of States.
Of this region, Bishop Simpson, of
Philadelphia, says, in discourse deliver
ed in Music Hall, in the city Of New
York, few days since, while speaking Of
his late visit to Nevada
"That wealth comprises that which the
nations of the world have never yet con-
tended for Were the debt OF our na-
ton to amount to $4,000, 900, 900 of dol.
lars, there is wealth enough there, when
the debt is paid off, to give every who re-
turns from our battle-felds, muskets Of
silver in place of iron and when our
iron clads come back iuto the harbor,
there shall be silver enough left to plate
those boats more heavily than they are
dow plated with iron. / do not speak
from idle speculation, but l speak of that
wealth from observation and actual
calculation. When in California | visit
ed the mines, and | thought the time
might como when they would be exhaust
ed, but in the mines of Nevada there are
no such indications visible. The more
the mines are worked the richer they
yield. The extent of the ledgcs, contain
ing the precious metals, no man has yet
been able to measure | will mention a
single instance, to give you some idea of
the inexhaustible supply. In what is
termed the Opiir mire, single lead, as
it is called there, is fifty-ivc feet in
thickness, and inclines only at an angle of
five degrees. Think of the extent of
that, nearly as far from this alter to Won
wall. This is all silver mingled with
gold. There is more gold in value than
silver, but more silver in weight than
gold. The Company have only two hun
dred feet working, and out of that they
are now realizing about ten thousand dol
lars a DAY. There is this popularity
about it, that the deeper the mine ex-
tends the richer and more profitable it
becomes"

with view of the illustrious GRANT
He passed eastward on .he train accom-
panied by Mrs. Grant, Col. Parker "a
famous Indian warrior, chief OF seven
Western tribes of Indians, and chief, Also
of scouts on Gen. Grants staff,l Colonel
Bowers, Col. Babcock and Mr.. Beckwith.
The report Of his coming was circulat-
ed and crowd gathered Had it been
positively known, there would have been
an immense assemblage. The General
came out on the veranda of the rear car
to give the people an opportunity to see
him. Immediately the crowd began
cheering for Gen. Grant, and expressing
to each other their qualification at having
seen the man who whipped the traitor
Lee, and the great soldier who has made
the name of his country forever immor-
tai in history. We looked around for
the chaps who bawled at Train, but they
were orderly or absent. They are either
slowly learning sense or are we'll cooled
off by the drubbing given to their friends
Mcclellan and Lee. At all event they
knew their places this time.
Gen. GRAFT makes no speeches. He
does not appear to know his fame. The
whole appearance of the man, as he pre-
sented himself to our observation, was
that of rigid plainness. His countenance
denotes deep thought, truthfulness and
determination, without single trace of
visible in its expression. He
looked to US like a man who had ever
pressing on him some stern duty, some
labor which engaged the attention of all
his energies. About his person there is
nothing which The world would reeog-
Dize as distinguished He neither bears
