Reverend Reformcr'. Experience.


the sanity hypocrites of New Eng
land to visit New Orleans and estabs
llsh Puritan synagogue, has re-
turned to his people, and delivered
his experience and the result of his
labors.
In language of unparalleled impu-
dence and arrogance, he describes his
advent into that benighted and mo-
raHy-bGghted city, and the wonder
fully purifying effect Of his teachings.
He can find nothing to liken it to
except the shifting of the waters ir
the creation, which divided the firma-
'nent from the waters beneath. He
(Eustls) and his colleagues touched
that plaques of Southern heathen-
Ism, and 10. it WAS made whole-all
except the freedmen. for he narrates
fact which leads him to exclaim:
"You see, then, that the freedmen
sadly need instruction in New Or
leans"
The fact alluded to was, that, with
in stones throw Of his room, were
two brokerage offices for supplying
colored laborers and othcrs-one kept
by an agent of the Freedrlen's Blu
reau, and thoroughly ''loyalH man:
the other by rebel officer of high
rank, who was intensely iisloyal, as
all sach men are And-here comes

officer" was constantly thronged with
colored people seeking employment.

men. The freedmen Of New Orleans
couldn't appreciate the perfection
claimed by this Connecticut saint and
his loyal associates, and preferred to

accursed ''slavc-drivcr. Oh! woe is
Eustis.
\ NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW. 1t is
an instructive fact, says the Tribune.
that the rcpugnancc to a national
bankrupt law is strongest in those
communities which are least exposed
to loss or injury by it,, operation.
Thus. the Chamber OF Commerce of
New York has just reiterated its
prayer to Congress to pass the bill
already through the House. though
1t Is certain that many millions of
debts due from the interior and West
to that city would be spongc,l out bv
such :in act; whereas the West, rs
represented in Congress. seems gene
rally aversc to such Il law. though
the West would be relieved by it of
the legal obligation to pay many
millions owed thence 70 the Fast.
In other words, the creditor interest
asks for bankrupt law while the
debtor interest resiSts its Enactment.
We hope and trust that Congress,
will not adjourn without letting the
captive go free. 1t would give. a new
spring to industry and business, if it
We're this Summer settled that the
duty imposed by the Constitution on
Congress of enactlng and maintain
