A Convention of Hates.

The Chicago Times utters no more than
what is strictly true, while saying that
''the Presbyterian convention in session for
sometime in st. Louis is about as malig-
nant as IL IL were composed OF the same
number of radical abolition politicians
During the time these sO-called Presbyte-
rians have been in session they have been
discussing mainly the question Of confiscat-
ing churches and church property in Ken
tucky The virulcnce of thai old rulllan
THAD. STEVENS, in all his utterances to-
wards the south, is more than equaled by
the clerical THAp. STEyENsFs who are en-
dcayoring TO control the action of the st.
Louis convention. lIf.t.I
ut is quite curious that ii is from so-call-
ed religious organizations in the north and
.outh, and from a political party in the
north claiming religion and morality as its
inspration,that there just now is exhibited
all the vindictivcness which remains from
the late conflict. Could these religious
bodies and this quasi-religious-p political
faction be struck from existence there
would remain not a single obstacle to the
the sections. 1t is professedly religious
element that bars the advance of kindly
feelings, and which is pursuing course
whose tendency is sure to result in inter-
minable strife and perhaps more blood
she'd.
lis it the religion of Christ which ami
mates the st. Louis convention of Presby-
terians, or that inspired the late convention
of Baptsts in Kentucky or the Baptist Free
mission that met in this city? There can
be but one answer TO this question. There
is no more religion in any of these bodies
than heat in polar iceberg. They have
not single characteristic of true religion.
They are filed with malice, unkidness,
intolerance, uncharitableness, and all the
qualities precisely the reverse of those
taught by Christ.p rrot Il...

God IndNrSal.

The Washington correspondent of the
London Times, describing the prayers of
the chaplain of the U. S. House of Repre-
sentatives, says: sometimes he startles
his hearers by some such passages as this,
which he delivered in prayer few weeks
ago: 20 Lord, Thou hast governed the
world six Thousand years, and we believe
Thou hast governed it well.'
1t is highly gratifying to know that the
Reverend BoYNToN, the aforesaid chaplain,
can find something in Gods doings, worthy
Of approval. 1t is one his rare discover
les, however, There is nothing impossi-
bic with GOd'' says a good book but, in
our opinion, it would strain His possibill-
ties TO govern the malignant heart and the
poisoned tongue of such a man. He is made
up of the bitterness of malice and hate-unot
a drop of ''the milk of human kindness''
mixed in his composition. '' e'

Getting Disguised,

The strongest men in the Republican
party are demonstrating, earnestly, against
the action of the Radicals in Congress.
Judge CoMsTocK. of New York, has spoken
strongly against ii, and Gen. MARTINDALE,
Attorney General of that State, says, in a
letter to Senator SHERMAN, "The scheme OF
reconstruction which has just been adopted
in part by the House Of Representatives.
involves the surrender of important princi-
plies and will be resisted. The Union party
will split upon it, if it shall receive the
sanction of Congress"

REAL Estate ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in
real estate appears to have assumed all the
wild and rash features of gold speculation. II
Is the ruling madness Of the hour, as the late
auction sales pretty clearly show. There seems
to be neither caution nor Judgment exercised
by the bidders as we can infer from the i'm
mense jumps which the bids take the moment
q desirable piece Of property IL put up. For
example, bids have risen from two thousand to
ten thousand dollars In less than two minutes.
Five or ten thousand dollars advance is regarded
AZ mere tribe. This may not be recklcssness,
but it savors strongly Of wild speculation. We
presume that we shall soon have real estate
quoted like stocks In the market, and sales con-
Quoted like gold-selling long and selling short |;
buying at sixty and selling at thirty, and SO
forth. We may have BY and by real estate
evening exchange, and real estate transactions
