wiia E.ci,emen, in n Church

The German Evangelical Church in
Muscatine, Iowa, was the scene of much
excitement last Sunday night. A short
time previously some members of the
congregation had participated inA fair
and theatricals, and the pastor, Rev.
Wm. Kempmeier, seems to have felt
called upon to reprove them therefor.
This he did with so much severity as to
create no little indignation, which
showed itself in an attempt by men,
bers of the Turnverein, present by his
invitation, to take the preacher by force
from his pulpit. Says the Muscatine
Journal: When the speaker referred
to the theatrical performance at
the hall, his remarks were so Of
fensive to many present that an
attempt was made by some Of the Turn
ers TO take him from the pulpit by
force; but they were prevented BY 9th
ers standing in the way and resisting.
In the meantime the widest excitement
prevailed; men cursed, women scream
ed, and for time bloodshed seemed in
evitable. Finally, Rev. Mr.. Oberman
succeeded in being heard, and restored
order by few well-timed remarks. On
the next day Mr.. Kempmeier received
q written notice, purporting to come
from the Turnverein, warning him to
leave the city within twenty-four hours,
He went before the Mayor in company
with Rev. r. Piepgras and other friends,
asking protection, but as the threat
was not signed by anybody, the Mayor
could not take any legal steps in the
matter. -

A PuLii..ing House In China.

In Fuhchow, China, there is a native
publishing house, employing over hun
dred workmen, and which has issued
over a hundred thousand different pub
licatibns, one of them being book OK
tending to forty or fifty volumes, A re-
markable awakening has taken place in
connection with the ont-stations OF the
Tient-sin mission. On ono occasion two
missionaries baptised forty-five con-
verts in single day. The converts ad-
ded to the mission churches of the Lon
don Society in Shanghai, and the prov
;nce of which it formed the capital,
numbered, during the year Just report
ed, one hundred and eighty This
is less number than during the pre-
vious year, which is explained by the
fact that during the late TAPPING rebel
lion, thousands on thousands died either
by the sword, or hunger, or disease.
The London Society's mission in the
popnlous city of Hankow, in the very
heart of the Chinese empire, has just
added to its means of usefulness . hos

A disease much resembling cholera

Feudalism In Tennessee.

A Nashville correspondent of the Gin

counters, in sections of the State, be-
tween men who have served in the rival
armies. occur occasionally, bat they are,
for the most part, personal feuds, which
had their rise during the war, and come
to settlement as the parties meet. For
instance, a few days ago, at small town
near Chattanooga, bully, who had
been a rebel guerrilla, and former res
ident of the town, staggered through
the street with navy revolver stick
ing out of his boot, drunk and eager for
a quarrel. He went into saloon and
met an old and inotfensive citizen of the
town, whose son this bully had caused
to be hung during the war under the
most atrocious circumstances. Gong
up to the old man in the most insolent
manner, and slapping him on the shoui-
der, the bully remarked d-'Where's
your son nowP On you,' said the
sxasperated father, recognizing the mur-
derer of his boy. I'll show you where
nv son is,' and drawing . knife, he
stabbed the ruffian to the heart. The
Eold man was put in Jail, but afterward
quietly released, not even the sx-rebels

near Knoxville not long since, in which
two ex- Union soldiers came to their
death through the settlement of person

Tbe surraft Trial.

The impression is gaining ground that
JoHx II. SUnRATr will never be tried
The opinion is expressed that after all
the apparent pains taken by the author
;,ie. for his arrest, after the long hunt in
which he is said to have been dOgged by
detectives from nation to nation through
three continents, after the long chase
and final capture which so much ink
and breath have been spent in nara
ting and glorifying, lie is to be quietly
tnrned loose without trial, while his
connection with the greatest mys-
terv in the annals of mysterious crime,
remains unexplained, and his guilt OF
innocence undetermined. Why is thisi
recent dispatch from Washington to
rhe New York Herald says:
The impression is that there is a
general conviction prevailing IN otfi-
cial quarters that the unfortunate Mrs.
snrratt was not guilty of the crime
for which she was executed, and that
the trial of her son would only result
in more clearly establishing that fact.
Such development, of course, would
mol be relished by the Administration
and Others concerned in the trial and
condemnation Of the mother. There
is another cause, however, not very
creditaLle, assigned why the President
would not wish the trial to occur; but,
4, it would cast a deep slur upon the
reputation of one who has not been
sleeping upon bed of roses, l refrain
from giving it publicity. 1t might on
ly he creating another sensation, and,
perhaps, without justification, for the
qualification of scandal-mongers. How
eyer this may be, it is not believed that
the evidence in possession of the gov
ernment will warrant the trial of John
II. Surratt.
Without protesting to attach limpor-
fauce to the above extract any farther
than rs it indicates the improbability
of SUREATT's trial, We yet think that
few gr0sser insults could be offered to
the common sense of the American peo'
pie than would be the release of JOHN
n. SrRRArT without that trial, which
whether he be innocent or guilty, the
Government has no right to decline. II
his hands are clear of the blood OF
LINCOLN, then the long chase aud the
ultimate arrest, which SEwARD's osten
tation has made almost ridiculous, were
silly and useless beyond description
his innocence should be declared al
though the folly of the authorities may
be exposed. If he be guilty, then hal
the Administration no right to shield
him, now that another who was Ger
tainly sinless in the matter has beer
murdered without evidence, without
law, and without any of the essentials
or even forms of justice, save the intlex
ihIe purpose of the bloody butcher:
who did the slaughter.
