Another sConstitutionap' Amendment.

s'Brick" Pomeroy, in alate number of his
paper, let's fly this bolt at the reconstruction
ommittee:
An exchange says that another amendment
of the committee on reconstruction, and it
will be presented to the attention of con-
gress. 1t will read nearly as follows:
ART. CXXXIV.-That no state shall be
admitted to representation in congress until, by
provision embodied in its fund ameutal law, it
pledges its citizens never to claim restoration of
any pianos, watches, fnger-rrngs, spoons, silk
dresses, books, pictures, eboards wines liquors,
carriages and other portable property, which may,
at any time, under pressure of military necessity,
have been transferred, shipped, removed, or car
red away from their residences, cellars, outhous-
es grounds stables, and delivered into the care
and keeping OF loyal citizens of New England and
other ssloyal' sections of the north and all per-
sons claiming or asserting title to any such porta
bie property so removed, shall be excluded from
the basis Of representation, and be forever disoual
if from holding any Office of trust or profit nm
der the state or general government

THE CASTLE CASE.

We understand that the gang of persons
about Illinois City who's creened and protected
!. Castle from arrest; who afterwards gave bail
for his appearance, under the expectation that
they could get him acquitted, but who, with
ajury composed of ten radicals and two dem
ocrats, failed to get him off, are now circulat-
ing petition to the governor to pardon HIM,
thus ridiculing the law and making farce of
the whole affair.
We never saw Castle, to know him, and we
!, have no prejudice against him, except such
,as the facts warrant,-but we must say that
it requires good deal of "cheek"so ask any
ilaw-abiding man to sign petition for his
pardon. The facts are that Castle, with gun
/ In hand hunted Baker and his family out Of
the place, shot at him time and again, in the
moot oowardly manner, in the night, and &C
tuaily compelled them to fee from the place,
and dispose of their property as best they
oossld. And all this was without any JUST
flying cause. Castle declared that Baker had
got the best of him or some relative of his, to
the sum of few dollars, on note. Baker
! declares, and proves. that he paid the full
7 value of the note. But it makes no difference
who is right. Allowing Castle to be correct
and Baker TO have cheated him,-does this
justify Castle in assassination and murder
j By no means.
The case also shows most shameful at
tempt to bring politics to bear to screen as
sassination and murder. Castle has been q
soldier, and was a radical. Baker was a mer.
chant and a"copperhead." Castle, in cow.
ardly manner, attempted TO murder Baker
BE naaa rot the manliuess to 90 it openly, but
sought to do it in suoh : way as to make proof
I, of the fact impossible. Ills radical friends
{ about Illinois City, the same set who helped
Marengo Joe to escape thinking he had killed
copperhead in Muscatine lscreened him, land
resisted the officers who sought to arrest him
But, with court, sheriff clerk, and all the of
ficers on their side politically and jury
with only one or two democrats on it; anc
with their radical organ, the Union, to argu,
his case and publicly acquit him, he wa
found guilty and sentenced to the penitenti
# ary for two years. A r1vengetul man woult
~ Say no VuRus " uefo SohO ioi tCA years.
We think five years would have been abou
/. right.
a And yet, with every thing but the law ant
the facts in his favor, the rufhan was foun
guilty. Aud now the Illinois City gang see
to turn the whole matter into farce by sigr
ing petitions for pardon, when his sentence
] not one-half as severe as it ought to be.
, seems to us that any man who signs such
} petition must either stand In fear of the Ms
l rengo Joe gang, or have a very poor idea {
| what is required to maintain peace, and Law
and order, in community.
Il We understand that remonstrancs wi
follow the petition, and that the governt
shall not pardon him without knowing ii
II facts, on both sides If he does it then,
y will be clear case of political tavoritsn
and as such will be shown to the people.

Not half their number ever hear the gospel
even by accident, once in year; very small
number ever make the acquaintance of min
lister OF Christ. They are born strangers to
the truth, and SO remain during all their lives.
They live, perhaps, within sight of many
churches devoted TO the service OF God. But
those who swarm in the courts and alleys and
suburbs OF our cities, the outskirts of our VII
lagos, and many thronged locality of the
country, never enter e church, and seldom, if
ever, hear the accents of mercy and kindness
which breathe in the teachings OF our Redeem
er.
As we cannot doubt that the poor and suf-
tering OF the present day are as much the OBJ
jects of Divine compassion as during the per-
sonal ministry of Christ, so we cannot doubt
what should be the mission OF His disciples
If the clergy are prevented by circumstances
beyond their control, by habits of the people

IL BIqOTRY. ~

Phillips, the eloquent Irish orator, in one Of
his speeches, thus personified Bigotry: "She
has no head, and cannot think; she has nc
heart, and cannot feel; when she moves, il is
in wrath; when she pauses, it is amid ruin
her prayers are curses; her communion is
death; her vengeance is eternal; her deca
logue is written with the blood of her victims
and, it she stops moment from her infern al
hight, it is upon some kindred rock, to whet
herfang for keener rapine, and to replume her
wing for more sanguinary desolation."
Rev. George G. Goodman, in one ofhis ceIe-
brated platform speeches, described Bigotry as
"A little old man, who has grown gray in in
fqmty. He is tooth.ess and crooked, and alto
eether OF an unsavory countenance. He sell
dom travels in the daylight; but, in the evenr
ing shades he steals forth from his haunts OF
retirement, and, with tongue as smooth and
deceptive as the serpentwho deceive our first
brands and DEATH" 5ng gA--bi
Q Bigotry is the legitimate offspring of Igno.
rance and Arrogance. Persecution and Cen
sure are her daughters. Pollock says that her
beverage is @the blood of saints" for which she
has ''horrid relish" and, in her drunkenness
she dreams of doing good.' gfg O.
These are highly wrought pictures, but they
do not exceed the truth. 1t is the most ruin
Gus OF all superstitions, whether in religion, or
III any OIuSl OF lE de-
stroys the elasticity of the soul, checks its ex-
pansion, and draws all its elements to stern,
infexible, adamantine focus 1t deadens the
affections, chills the generous impulses Of the
heart, and begets ittleness, bitterness and
hate. ri- ,5.l7sr sab ~
But there is a kindred evil 1t is vain con-
ce't. We have often met men, the music OF
whose tongues was to themselves like enchant-
ing harmony, and whose crude, contracted no.
tons were, in their own estimation, perfect
wisdom. 1t hardly need be said that such
minds never grow much, Shakespeare has
said that "Conceit works the strongest in the
weakest minds;;' and, we may add, it keeps
them weak. The clearest and steadiest rays OF
light, entering such minds, would be tinged, or
turned askant. Dean Swift has said, .9.- -
