larger measure of public confidence aud

principles, in every crisis of the country
by its bold advocacy of Constitutional lib
ertv In the darkest hours of Lincoln's mil
itary despOtism-this journal brought upon
itself more bitter prescription, ana meaneI
persecution, than any paper in the United
States. OF those who, at one time or an
other have been its editors, one was assas-
sinated, one exiled, one imprisoned by thal
mean tyrant Burnside, and yet another
mobed by drunken brutes In Federal uni

sentence was properly executed, the couple

Decline of Religion in New Eng
- land

The New York Independent speaks very
despoudlngly Of the decline Of the gospel
or rather of an interest in the same In the
State Of Connecticut. 1t seems that large
number Of the churches are without con-
eregations, and that the pay of the clergy
men is so paltry as to be little above a
starvation scale. That an interest In reli-
zion In all the New England States should
become slack is not at all surprising when
we consider the lengths to which the pull
pits there have been prostituted TO pase
and miserable partisan service. IL Is not
from the lack of sincere religious sentiment
that these churches have been deserted. 1t
is because the congregations have become
dispusted with political parsons and with
their radical harangues, and unless the eVil
be reformed altogether we fear the spread
of religious feeling In New England and
everywhere else viii be very much re-
stricted. Now that the rebellion Is over
and the country saved, it is to be hoped the
political parsons will turn their attention
to saving the souls of sinners, and leave
political matters to be attended to by thos'
whose inelinations lead them that way

II Is rumored that q pr ointment member
of the Committee on Reconstruction has
prepared and means TO ofer Ia Congress,
in few days, the following additional
amendment to the Constitution:
ARrIcLK XCV. That no State shall be
admitted to representation In Congress un-
I'll. by a provision embodied in It's funda-
mental Law. It pledges its citizens never TO
claim restitution of any pianos. watches,
finger rings, spoons, silk dresses, books pic
lures, sideboards wines, liquors, carriages,
and other portable property which may at
any time. under the pressure Of military
necessity. have been transferred. shipped,
removed or carried away from their resi-
dences cellars grounds, Out-houses or sta
bles. and delivered into the care and keep
ing of loyal citizens Of New England--and
all persons claiming or asserting title TO
any such portable property so removed,
shall be excluded from the basis of repre-
sentation. and be forever disqualified TO
hold any office Of trust, or profit under the
State or General Government.
The adoption Of an amendment like this,
Is supposed to be the only method by which
great many military gentlemen OF the
-loyap stripe can escape the infamy which
attaches TO their immense stealing opera
tions.
