THE HASTE TO GET RICH.

Under this caption the Methodist Hons
Journal of Philadelphia in well.written
editorial article condemning the Crosby
Opera House lottery and other similar chance
enterprises, makes the following thrust at
another style OF money getting, which is
becoming very common if not very popular
with the religious community generally.
The editor SAYS
"This haste to get rich has much to do
with the very prevalent sin OF gambling
which seems to pervade the community.
Our Sabbath school exhibitions, church fes-
rivals and charity fairs, to raise money are,
we are sorry to say strongly tinctured with
this vice. We are compelled TO believe thai
the various questionable methods of raising
money for religious and charitable enter
prises have strong tendency to blunt thu
moral perception of the general public, ant
in a degree TO oblitcrate the line which
should be so well defined--the demarkatiol
between the moral and the immoral. Tn
Jesuitical proverb that ''the end justitles til
Means is becoming too much our rule o
action. Is II too much to ask the Church a
least TO avoid the appearance of evil? Thi
lottery mania is one of the crying sins {
the times, and we beseech all who have til
welfare of souls at heart to Join with us
crushing the iniquity."

The editor of the New York Independent,
having been invited TO lecture at st. Paul
Minnesota, and requested to coniine himself
to literary topics, wrote the following letter;
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Jan. 2, 1867.
Mr. K, My Dear Sir:-I am informed
that your democratic friends in st. Paul
prefer that would lecture in that apostolic
city not on reconstruction but on literature.
/ came to the West, this winter, solely for
the purpose OF speaking in behalf of equal
rights. AS TO literary reereations, | can
pursue them with more pleasure in my libra
ry at home than by muffiing myself up like
Laplander and sleigh-riding toward ly-
ceums in the high latitudes Moreover, as
to literary lectures had supposed that Mr.
Andrew johnson had already somewhat
fatlgued our democratic friends with tina
i species of amusement. l shall go to ST
Paul for the express purpose of arguing
and possibly proving, that the negro, as al
American citizen, is entitled TO all the poiti
cal rights which belong to the editor of tn
L St. Paul Pioneer. If you do not wish m
& 10 come on such an errand, then / Will sta
l. away, and content myself with referrin
