UThc Christian Neighbor.D

Thi. is to be the title Of Weekly Religion,
Paper to be nruguaratcd soon by the Rev. S1DI
Z. BROWNE. This reverend and learned gentle
Liam, so lately Presiding Elder Of the Circuit Of
which Edgelcd forms p,rt, and so well and
fnvoraLly known throughout our District, is
preaching now in Marion; AID at Marion G. H.,
in all probability, "The Christian NeighbOr" will
be published. The Marion Crescent, from whose
office. if we mistake not, th;snew paper will be
issued, speaks of it as follows:
By reference to another cohmn it will DO seen
that Rev. S. II. Browne, Of The So. ca. Confer
cncc, proposes to publish a paper, non-sectional
and c:ninently christian in its spirit nnd tone.
Holding the internal unity of the church agninst
all e1tcrnalisu, yet by no means tceking to do
away with denominations al e1isten@s or peculiari-
ties.
With square front he opposes christianity to
war in all forms, snd vows unconditional e1c!u-
sion of all types Of politics from religion.
Ono Of tho chief cxcsllences of TIE Christian
NrlcupoR will be its singleless of motive in
holding religion to its proper missio, and thereby
bounding the legitimate sphere d politics and
kindred questions.
To say that VIC heartily uHH ths sP6ta5

some one would take hold of the m,tter and give

uGbc.t of the Past Constitution"

In his late speech on the Conference report
commenting upon the fact rLas the Senate Ma

Mr. Stevens said:
"Some fragments Of the old shattered Constitu-
ton had stuck. perhaps, in tho kidneys of some
Senators [laughter] and troubled them at night
When they tried to progress, the ghost Of the
past Constitution was found IN .heir way, and OBJ
structed then. Perhaps that was natural enough.
He did not find any fault with it,"
Ths is gracious, and peopl" who are haunted
by "the ghost of the past Constitution" OF who
are afflicted with what may now be termed Ste
ycns' disease Of the kidEoys," have reason to be
thankful It is natural fraily that the grand
mogul of Radicalism makes all duo allowance
for. We like tho frankness of the ayoual. The
Constitution is pronounced to be dead by the
leader Of the dominant party, and it is only its
ghost that now ard then stalks through the halls
of Congress, complaining, pcrchance, like the
ghost of Hanlcts father, Of its own murder:
"Murder most foul, as at the best it is;
But this most foul, strange and unnatural.
