The Ny. Independent.

This paper, whose loose and mercenary char
acter, both as a political and professedly relig-
ious journal has for the last half dozen years
been apparent enough to most people, has at
tempted to get up cheap sensation by frank
" ayowing its heterodoxy. In a double lead
ed leader it avows that it is not, and for some
time has not been, and for all future time does
not propose to be, either Congregational or
Evangelical paper. On the contrary, it vir-
tually gives official announcement to its purpose
to be in the future Gas has been more or less in
the past, to our way of thinking an exponent of
the infdelity, heterodoxy, & religious unsound
ness Of William Lloyd Garrison, Horace Greeley
Lydia Maria Child, John G. Whittier, Charles
Summer, Wendell Phillips, Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, Edmund Quincy, Anna Dickinson
and Fred. Douglas.
The Boston COyreguttonalist, abiding to
this announcement Of the Independent, adds :
This cannot surprise the constant readers of
that paper, nor those who know that one Of
its editors has lately apparently taken pains at
the West to cast obloquy upon the fundament
al evangelical doctrine of human sinfulness ;
that another is in full communion with the
most advanced phase of Parkcrite "Infdelity."
as preached and practised by Rev. w. PORTING
ham, Its now foremost discipleS
The Wisconsin Puritan complains Of the
editor in chief of that paper (wha was pla-
carded here as ''the foremost man in Ameri
ca that in lccturing at Burlington, Wis, he
not only made his usual ''tiing" at total depra-
witty, but charging in addition to his regular
fee, $75, and the usual expense of travel from
the last place where he had spoken, he put on
the association the extra expense of taking
him across the country, some thirty or forty
miles, in private carriage, with sererI happy
compan,ons; and then returned Sunday morning
ga fragrant and Shameless example of Sabbath
breaking"
''The Puritan, it seems, is just finding out
what other people have long known, that Mr.
Tilton belongs to very progressive school
He doubtless regards all days as holy, and be-
lieves that one may as truly keep the Sabbath
and worship God in two-horse carriage as in
a one-horse meeting house. And besides, was
he not in haste to get back to Milwaukee and
make religious address -Congregationalia
This is the kind Of religion of not few of
the leaders of republicanism. They are infidcls
in principle, pharisees in spirit, and cute at
getting funds, pious and practical, full of
hypocritical compassion for the poor.

judicial Election,

There was so little interest taken in the judi
cial election last Monday. particularly in this
district and Circuit, that we are wholly unable
to give any figures of the vote even in our own
county. In this city but $50 votes were polled
Of which, we believe, E. S. Leland got all for
Circuit Judge, and Taylor got all but four
(Which were cast for j. Z. Rice for Supreme
Court Clerk.
1t gives us some pleasure, however, to be
able to state that i'll the second grand division:
where republican politicians undertook to Or
ganize politically to defeat the reelection of
Judge Walker to the Supreme Bench, they
have been signally defeated. Whether the
result in district which ordinarily has given
republican majorities by thousands, is an indi-
cation of a serious falling off in the strength
Of that party, or the vote is to be construed
simply as a rebuke of the radical leaders, it is
certain both Judge Walker for Judge, and Mr..
Turney for Clcrk-both democrats re-
elcted by DECISIVE majoaities.
We shall, as a matter of curiosity, give the
vote of this county in our next, when it will
have been officially canvassed. @

Pistol shootiax Extraordinary

rather Munchausenish stories about Recorder
Hacketts pistol-shooting prowess: 's,'

things with pistol than any man now living,
probably that has ever lived. He can split bull.

twelve at twenty PAGES. He will take the ashes
off friends cigar, held in the friends mouth
at the same distance. He will pick away a
quarter held between friends finger and thumb

will shoot half dollars propped upright from
friends head He will kill musquito ON the
wall as far as he can see the "animile;" and all
these things he will do in any attitude you please

turned upside down. fired off between his legs,
in recumbent position-in fact, in any way or
every way that will only allow one glance of the
unerring eye along the barrel. Give him three
shots with pistol to guage its inaccuracies,
and he will use it as readily his most familiar
weapon. Indeed, one Of his favorite pistols is a
little ivory.hited repeater which throws nearly
five feet out of gauge in distance of thirty yards
Judge Hackett has ascertained and makes exact
allowance for this eccentricity, ana would Just

A Break Down.

The biggest breakdown, fiat out, and fizzle
of the day is the impeachment movement
against President johnson. As farce, indeed,
it was a tremendous success" but as q melo-
drama or tragedy, q dead failure. The Judi
ciary Committee of the House, with all the aid
the industrious and implacacable spite and
hate of Ashley and Butler could give them,
after nine months pursuit and pumping Of
all the rough-scuff they could rake up to swear
against the President in grim disappoint-
ment announce to the country that they can
find no sufficient cause fol. preferring articles

Theodore Tilton in He'll.

Theodore Tilton has been looking into New
York by gas light, and dare not tell all that he
saw. He says of what he did:
"In company with several well known public
men, and under the guidance of the police, we
made a tour, last Saturday night, through the
nethermost haunts of misery, vice and crime in
the city of New York. This is an exploration
which every man connected with public affairs,
either by civil or by editorial duty, ought if pos
sible, to make; at least once in his life. Born in
New York, and having always either resided or
labored within it, we never saw or knew our own
city until last Saturday night. Never until then
had we any adequate conception of its poverty.
of its squalidness, of its vlainy, of its debauch
cry. of its leprosy! The sight can never be for.
gotten The story, even if We had the heart to
tell it, must for decency's sake remain untold. -
We can only say that none of the familiar de-
scriptions had adequately prepared us for the ac-
tual scenes. We were shocked, confounded, sick
ened! And as we now look back upon the aw-
full revelations Of that one nights descent into
hell, We can hardly persuade ourselves that what
we saw was reality; it seems hideous dream. "

Chief Juitice Chase, of the Supreme Court
of the {. S., itagives us pain to announce,
has cast his lot with the "disloyal" In case
just tried before him at Alexandria, The
United States VS.. Joseph Bruin-he decided
the property of no rebel could be confscated
beyond the life time of the said rebel, and fur
ther that the rebel must first be tried and con-
vcted OF treason before there cim'be conlisca-
ton even to that extent. This decision ruins
all the cherished plans ofpoor old Thad Stevens
and Sumner. and may wholly disarrange all
the plans OF the radicals for the more effective
subjugation Of the South.

SOLDIERS IoNUMENT.--The gentleman en-.
gagged in canvassng the county to raise funds for
the erection Of the La Sale County Soldiers
Monument, and who has just passed through
about one-fourth of the town of Rutland, gives
US cheering account of his success. The amount
contributed thus far exceeds one dollar each for
the voters of that town, and five dollars each for
those who have contributed. Pretty good for a
"copperhead" town. Now let the "super-loyal'
towns beat it,

County Court.

We note the fact, as illustrating perhaps the
waning influence of the press, that notwithstand-
ing both papers in this city announced last week
that the Circuit Court for this county would
meet on Monday of this week, that court did not
commence its June term as thus announced. On
the contrary, the Judge is determined not to
commence holding that court until Monday next.
1t was the County Court that met last Monday.
As to its proceedings, they have not been especi-
ally interesting, except perhaps to the litigants.
There were 30 causes on the docket for trial.
Monday was spent in hearing motions, enter
ing orders, &c. -
On Tuesday, after some .unimportant prelimi-
nary business, jury was called to try the case
of Caudius B. Hang vs.g Cho's. p Deter ct al.
