A New SECT IN GERMANY new
sect has recently sprung up in Germany,
under the whimsical name of :" Cogitants. ="
The founder of the sect is a DIR. Edward
Lowenthal, who has published book
about his opinions, which he calls reli.
gion without confession. The Cogi-
tants have also established a magazine,
which bears the following motto: "Our
knowledge is our faith; our dignity is
our morality; our worship is life; and
our religion is--our secret" There is
nothing very religious in their doctrines.
They hold that neither fraud nor theft
should be punished with imprisonment.
All good Cogitants are to have a good
dinner for nothing on Christmas day,
Easter Sunday and Whitsunday. The
head of the sect is to wear camlet cloak
with upright collar ornamented with three
silver stars. Among the rules of the
order is one which we fancy will not
meet with the concurrence Of the German
police. 1t is, that when Cogitant is
buried, only portion of the coffin is to
be covered with earth. The reason for
this absurd regulation is not apparent
but nothing is too absurd for radical

The BIBLE IN PoLAND.-The Sunday
Magazine says: "Poland has long been
a synonyme for wrong and suffering; and
while there is little to indicate any change
of mind on the part of the wrong-doers,
it would seem as if from another quarter
better blessings were coming on that
land. The British and Foreign Bible
Society, after long and unsuccessful en-
deavors to obtain a footing in Poland,
has at last received permission to sell the
Bible. A depot for the sale of the
Scriptures has been opened at Warsaw,
and, though no public notice had been
given, such was the excitement connected
with its opening that on the first day
1,019 copies were sold, and during the
first yeek, the purchases amounted to s.
172 copies. People have come for Bibles
before six in the morning and after eight
at night. If all the hearts that have
bled for her miseries would join in ask
ing God to make his word an effectlal
means of blessing, joy and gladness
would yet be heard in the land, thanks
giving and the voice of melody"

The EFFECTS OF MIsGovERNMENT.-
There are many in the republican ranks
who are thoushtfully considering the con-
sequences of radical rule upon the coun-
try. The entertainment to which they
have been pressed is so totally different
from the original bill of fare, they are dis
posed to contrast the present condition of
affairs with what it was under democratic
government Said leading republican
IN our hearing, ut is time We had a
change, and return to specie currency.
As 1T now stands, many family that was
In comfortable circumstances, in the posses
sion OF a sufficient income few years ago,
will be reduced to beggary if the present
state of thirgs continues much longer.
These undoubtedly are the sentiments
which have actuated the electors in Ohio
and Pennsylvania to abandon the radical
party, and to- join the party of reform.
1t is a movement Of the people to redress
the grievances and burdens to which they
are subjected by the wasteful extrava-
gance and corrupt Legislation OF the party
iu power.

Trial OF Jefferson Davis.

There are people yet who think that
something is to be gained or some princi-
pie established by the trial of Jefferson
Davis, and day by day the approaching
trial is announced. What is to be accom-
plished by it2 Is it to convict him Of
treason? Who believes that a Virginia
jury, legally drawn, can be had to do that?
And if he were convicted, what then
Why should he be punished when Lee
and all the rest were discharged without
condltions? Is this Government going to
revive the Jewish scape-goat institution,
and pile all the sins of the rebellion on one
man in order to cancel them all in a lump
by a fine ? Or is this trial to be had in
order to decide whether secession is right?
Think of this government, after calling out
a million ofmen to put down the rebellion;
submitting its right to do so to jury of
twelve men in rebel state.
And what if the jury should acquit him?
Then it will have been decided at law that
secession is right, and that the government
committed crime by resisting it; and as
an illegal order is no defense to the agent
all our soldiers who carried on the war will
have been found guilty ofmurder. What
a splendid consummation this would be for
our imbecile officiousness in demanding q
tria' of Jefferson Davis. A jury trial is
not fit for the head of great belligerent
power that carried on terrible war for
four years. The right of the nation to
subdue rebellion is not a thing to be
submitted to any jury. 1t is not fit to ex-
ecutc penalty on any one man ont of a
b'lllSerent power that put half million of
armed men in the field, aud after we have
discharged all the rest.
Jefferson Davis is fit subject for John
sons pardon. This iguominy may serve in
the place ofpenalty. We know of moth
ing more humiliating that we can do him
than to have him owe his discharge to
Johnson's pardon. Let him have this,
and let US stop the farce Of trial which is
announced as close at hand.-C.n. Gag.

Radical Imposition on the Freed.
men.

Charleston, & c. (Sov. 1o Corresponience Of the New
York Tribune.
Let Us turn from these THINGS
to the condition and feelings of the freed.
men, aud to their republican friends
among the white population. My first in.
sight was at Savannah. On the day the
polls were opened there was a great influx
OF colored men from the up-river parishes
Conspicuous among them was delegation
of 120 from the Ogechee river. These
marched in military arary to the square in
front of the voting place. Every man
had sugar cane stalk, a little bundle
containing blanket OF comfortable, and a
bag or army haversack, with rations for
three days, of sweet potatoes and other
food. l mingled freely with them, and
found that they had been promised by one
Bradley (once colored attorney of Bos-
tom that if they would come down and
vote his ticket they shoul! have mule
and 10 acres of land. Some of them had
been in the Union army, but nearly al
were old plantation hands The foremost
of the party carried an American flag on
his corn-stalk, and it was anion down
The poor fellows knew no better. They
came to get the pcrquisites promised then
by Bradley. They voted. The next day
ani the third they waited for the mule
and land. Of course they waited in vain
and they went to their homes sad and de.
spondeut. believing that they had been de-
ceived by the great north, for they looked
upon Bradley as its agent and representa-.
tive. The white and colored republican:
of Savannah did not vote, with very few
exceptions. On questioning one of the
latter class why he neglected it, he said:
Il cannot do it, sir. l cannot assist in
keeping men of my color deluded by sucl
low-lived scoundrels. We ought to live
peaceably with our old masters. The
prosperity Of the state depends upon
there being good feeling between al
classes. | said: "Then, if that is
your feeling. why don't you vote what
they cali here the ''white mans ticket ~
"Oh, cause ] am for the republican party
which saved us and gave us freedom bu,
| am sorry every day that it permits such
men to represent it, and his idea is true
ne great Douy OF loyal whites ana Intel
ligent blacks stood aloof from the polls.
They grieved to do it they lamented the
act Of discretion on the part of the nation
al republican committee which threw tie
control Of the canvass into the hands of
such adventures as this man Bradley, but
they could not help it. The men who vo-
ted feel aggrieved and angry because his
ridiculous promises we're not kept. The
rebel sympathizers have already taken ad-
vantage of this feeling, and begun to op-
crate upon the voters. Unless he, and
such as he. shall be discountenanced, the
effect will be to throw the vote Of this ig-
norant mass into the hands of our politil-
al enemies in the future. No one who is
absent can have any idea Of how strong
the tide is that way setting already. As
an ardent republican, who shared some
humble part i'll the war for freedom and
national unity, | have borne testimony
only to what l have seen.

NAY He LIVE TO SEE IT.-The Hi
nois State Register says that an old man,
standing on the street in Springfield, the
other day, addressing crowd on the sub
ject of politics, and when asked what he
thought of the negro, that he thought
the "nigger a big thing" He said he
had lived to see the niger break up the
old whig party, to which he belonged !;
had seen him divide and distract the dem
ocratic party; had seen him cause terri
Bile civil war had seen him break up the
white mans Union, and had recently seen
him cause the defeat of the republican
party in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
hoped to live to see him defeat, ruin and
annihilate the radicals in the Presidential
election next year.

If We are to believe the Hartford
Cowant, the state Of things in New Eng
land is sufficiently alarming. The old
center of religion on this continent, the
home of the Pilgrim Fathers, the land of
Mather and Williams and Edwards, threat
ems to lapse into nfdelity. What can be
the reason of this? Devotion to the mig
ger, we fear, has taken the place OF devo-
ton to the church. lenceforth it will be
we'll for New England apostles to limit
the sphere of their labors, and to look at
home.-New York Herald.
