Jack Hamilton, the loyal Southern
er, who prepares Reconstruction bills
for the Radicals of the Rump Con-
gress, once carried free eolored
woman from Alabama to Texas, and
kept her as a slave and mistress until
the legal authority compelled him to
release her. So charges Federal
army officer of character, in a letter
which Senator Doolittle read to the
Rump Senate, few days ago. The
writer pledges himself to produce the
records of the fact, if required. This
is the same Hamilton who was brought
TO Pennsylvania last fall, by the Radi.
Gals, TO make votes for Geary and
teach the people some grand moral
ideas" Jack is a model Of "loyaltv -
and Of course embraces all the other
virtues by which that clan is endowed.
The new duckish Senator from Mis-
souri-Drake-is another specimen.
On the 18th OF June, 1861, he made a
speech from the Court House steps in
st. Louis, in which he assailed the
Iincolnites in furious manner, order,
ing the Missouri State Guards to dea
out "red hot damnation to the Lincoln
hirelings if they attempted to set tbeii
polluted feet on Missouri SOIL Thii
samo Drake is now 'loyal" rival O

The sabbafh nnel tl,e Run,,.

We have waited for two weeks to
see whether the clergy and the reli-
gious, as well as the loyal secular
press, would mention the fact that the
Rump Congress held a session on Sun
day, the Sd of March, in order topper
feet their treason. Up to the present
but one-the Presbyterian Banner
has noticed this innovation. II some
frolicsome boys had been caught play
ing a game Of ball on Sunday, in the
neighborhood of those Journals con-
irolled by "grand moral ideas" the
circumstance would have been prompt
ly noticed but as Thad Stevens &Co.
are the authors OF the transgression,
it, with but one exception, passes,at
par. A correspondent of the Yenan
20 Spectator, in noticing these Sab
bath-breakers, says:
"This is deeply to be regretted by
all those who feel it 10 be their first
and supreme duty to obey and honor
the God Of the Sabbath. And especi-
ally is this to be dcplored, inasmuch as
it has been done by the representa-
tives of those who claim TO be the par
ty of Great Moral Ideds,-thc party
which has been brought into power
by the influence of the pulpit and the
religious community, and not only
brought into power, but kept there
By the same influence But, Mr. Edi-
tor, IL this was the only instance in
which they have given the lie TO their
profession, it would indeed be a small
matter. Such corruption-such dis
honesty, and such immortality have
never been practiced before, perhaps,
in any country, and certainly not in
ours, as have been for the last few
years, by those, who represent the
party Of Great Moral Ideas
Such exposures of fraud, and dis
honesty by the officials and represent
atives of our government as have TAX
en- place within the last few years,
have never so blackcned the pages of
the history Of any other nation
Drunkenness, ribaldry and profane
language have almost become the eti-
quette Of our halls of legislation. And
such is the Generalization Of society,
in and around its halls, that il is al
most impossible to visit them, or come
within their precints without being
polluted, or corrupted by its foul and
debasing influence. When Congress
will meet TO open its session in a
drunken row--delberately insult the
President Of the United States, and
blasphemously quote ard ridiculously
Apply the language ofsacred writin low
political vulgarity,-and when grave
statesman Tor one who ought to be
grave) will stand up on the floor Of
Congress and talk about sending
portion OF the people Of these United
States to hell, and guarding them with
federal bayonets, and the pulpit, and
the religious community, can look
quietly on and even Uote, and prav for
the reelection of such representatives,
and their success in power, il is hard.
ly worth while for the Banner, or any
other religious paper, to tell us that
they regret that the National Legisla-
turc protracted its session until the
Sabbath am no advocate for Sab
bath desecration; but this looks to me,
at least, very much like 'straining at
gnat, and swallowing a camel

The Chicago Tribune, a free trade
Radical journal, asks its eastern tariff
brethren, that ifthe protection of fifty
six per cent in gold furnished now by
the present tariff is not enough, how
much more do they wantY The edi-
tor thinks that this tax upon Western
products for the benefit of Eastern
monopolies ought to satisfy all honest
men. In this he is no doubt correct
but be ought to know that the man
that demands that his neighbor be tax
ed for his especial benefit is not honest

The good people of Boston have
started a clergyman with $4,000 TO
be delivered to the starving Cretans,
who inhabit an Island in the Meditcr-
rancan Sea, which has lately been
overrun by an army, under the com
mand of a brute like Butler plunder-
ing, burning and killing, wherever
he went. This kind of charity is
all right and commendable, but Bos.
ton should remember that they have
the "Grceks at their own door," and
that charity always begins at home"

A GoAK-A Methodist exhorter,
at Franklin, few days ago, bewail-

that Church members of late paid

5-20s and 1905 than they did to sin
