Pulpit Politics.

On the 5th instant there was scene i'll the
First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati, alto
gether scandalous to religion, and illustrative
of the baneful effects of that carrying of poll
tics into the pulpit which had so much to do
with bringing on the war. When the war
broke out, three of the elders Of the church.
Messrs. BAIRD, JOHNSTON, and DR.. SMITH
were expelled as being opposed TO the Admi-
nistration and, on the day above named, the
congregation met to elect three others-the
church having had only two during the war
At the meeting, the first thing was TO have

disputation and struggle. Rev. DR.. ANDER-
SON was nominated. Mr.. CoRRY protested
Several ladies "Just what we expected" !"
MIR. CORY would be heard, claiming TO have
been baptised. A sister " Much good did 1t
do you"
DR.. ANDERSON gave way, and DR.. THACKER
was nominated by Mr.. CORY. The Doctor
advanced towards the chair, when rush was
made, rs in political meetings. Scuffling,
strong language and TIE police, ensued Ciu-

ment Of Lent has been tolerably large, II has
been matter OF surprise that SO few young

ladies In abundance,--fresh, smiling, and rosy

are always numerous eligible candidates, and
il is surprising that the gallant young men OF
Richmond forget that the early beau wins
the lady fair. There Is now on opportunity,
which will not return for twelve months, OF

reputation, and seeing, In all their fresh young

Public MEETING AT CITY HALL To-STGHr.-
There will be an adjourned meeting of the citi-
zens of Monroe Ward tonight at the City
Hall TO adopt measures with regard to the
approaching municipal elections. The reform
party In this city appear to be strenuously
opposed TO the old regime, and they have a
deep-rooted antipathy to the amended charter.
These gentlemen reformers can possibly see
further into a milestone than we can do, and
it is TO be hoped that they will fully enunciate
all their plans, and let the public know where
and what are all the evils which they intend
10 reform.

MIR. RAYMOND In Trouble.

The contradiction of several rumor, made
by the New York Times several days ago, we
copied rs "of1cial." Mr.. RAYMOND was, of
course, authorized by Mr.. SEWARD TO deny
them. Some of his associates in Congress
think, however, that he used disrespectful Ian
guage. The Tribune says:
Representative Raymond admitted to. day
that he personally sent the telegram, under
cover OF his Washington correspondent, charg-
ing the eXaggeration of Mr.. Seward s remarks.
Ii is probable that Mr.. Scofield will rise to a
question OF privilege TO ascertain whether the
member designed to impute to him 'Flagrant
and malicious perverson.' Judge Bingham,
of Ohio. also deems the imputation cast upon
him by Mr.. Raymond, of having invited and
braved the Presidents veto, published in the
same paper as above, rs unworthy fellow

MAYoR's CorRr.-There were but few cases
before the Mayor yesterday morning, and they
were mostly civil. Among the rest, the fol-
lowing was disposed of:
Messrs T. w. Chiles & Co. were charged
with allowing disreputable women TO occupy
their premises 10 the great annoyance of those
in that vicinity, and allowing them to accu-
mulate filth, creating nuisance, and endan'
gering the health of the neighborhood. The
Mayor fined the parties ten dollars for the
nuisance, and threatened TO continue the hne
unless it was discontinued.

On Thursday, the store of Mrs Nora J. Miller,
oil Twenty first street, at the corner of Eighth
and Cary, was entered, and q box of lace and
embroidery, valued at twenty .one dollars,
stolen. Several articles of value had pre-
viously been taken from the store, and Mrs.
Miller suspected two negroes, named John
Lewis and Richard Adams, of being the guilty
parties description of the two negroes
was then given TO the police. On Thursday
evening, Policeman Moody saw two negroes
walking side by side on Cary street, one OF
them, who proved to be Richard Adams, car
rying a box under his arm. He asked what
was in the box, and Adams then said that he
had picked it up in the street, and did not know.
Upon further examination, the two negroes
were found TO be those suspected by Mrs.
NJ iller, who identified the box of lace, &C., in
their possession as being her property. The
prisoners were locked up, and on yesterday
they were found guilty and sent TO the peni'
tertiary for one year each.

ANOTHER STOLEN HoRsE.-It is earnestly to
be hoped that the law of Virginia making

ously enforced, or there is no chance for our
farmers or citizens TO preserve the few work

war has left them. Nearly every day we an

that, on Thursday night, q fine horse was
stolen from Mr.. NJ. G. Fisher who lives one
square north of Morton's flower garden, out
side the corporation limits. The horse was a
clay bank, fourteen or fourteen and one half
hands high, branded &C" and az So and
was in excellent order. A reward of twenty
dollars will be paid for the recovery of the
horse, and halter is held in readiness for the
thief.

THE DISTURBANCE At CH1MBoRAzo oN FRI
DAY NIGHT. Judge McEntee's Court yester.
day morning was crowded with anxious spec
tators who were eager to hear the evidence in
the case of the United States rs. James
O'Keefe and Leonidas II. Peay. The priSo-
ners were arrested by the police at the request
of Lieutenant Merrill, Of the freedmens
Court, and were charged with unlawfully as
sembling, with twenty others, more or less,
disturbing the peace, and assaulting, brusing
and beating Robert Green, negro.
Green, the injured party, said that on
Thursday night he was walking towards his
home, at the corner of Twenty ninth and Leigh
streets, and when only short distance from
his destination, he was attacked by two men
One of the men struck him on the head with
piece OF fence rail- and the other, who he posi-
lively identified as James o Keefe, struck him
with a short club. The two men who struck
him were accompanied by about fifteen others :
and when Green, in most prudent manner,
ran Off he was followed TO his house by the
whole party. He got safely in doors, and the
crowd then began TO throw rocks at the Win
dows, the back door being also battered down
by them. There was great noise and confu-
sion in the crowd, and some were inclined 10
enter the house, but were persuaded by others
not to do go. Sometime after the crowd had
left, the prisoner, Peay, came TO Green and
asked him whether his sister had been hurt,
and also If he had been hurt himself. Green
showed Peay the bruises he had received, and
Peay said that if he had known it was Green
they were beating he would not have allowed
them TO do it, Peay was not seen with the
mob.
Another negro, named Charles Davis, gave
substantially the same testimony, and, i'll ad-
dition, swore positively that he saw y heefe
strike Green's door with piece of wood
Several witnesses were then heard to prove
an altbi for the prisoner, OKeefe, but the evil
dence was so contradictory that nothing could
be made of It, Peay, against whom there was
no evidence whatever, was then discharged,
and OKeefe was bailed in the sum of five
hundred dollars to appear before military
commission when called on.
There seems now TO be but little doubt that
the riotous conduct OF the young men and boys
in the neighborhood of Chimborazo was the
principal cause of the riot of Friday night. They
have not sense enough TO see that they are treat
ing free negroes In manner which would not
have been permitted towards slaves. They get
themselves into trouble, and leave their friends
TO get them out of it, forgetting that it ought
TO be our pride to show that we are the friends
of the negro so long as he is peaceful, industri-
Gus, aud well behaved.
