which occasioned the harsh order Of Justice

Senators, TO consider that We stand this day
pleading for the violated majesty flaw, by the
graves ofhalfa million OF murdered hero patriots
who met their death in battle by the sacrifice Of
themselves for their country, Constitution, and

that all must obey the law, that none are above

THE ANNIVERSARIES. -spe.kipp Of ,ha. r

TIE ASSIvrssAHrr.-Speaking Of thcss ro-
ligious gatherings. which commence next week,
the New York Tribune ays: u
No feature Of our American life, except our
great political conventions, Is 10 expressive Of
the current Of public thought and average pop
ular feeling as these anniversaries. Now Il Is o
meeting to discuss the best and most attractive
plans Of imparting religious faith to the young
IN that thoroughly American, Protestant, and
Republican institution, the Sunday school.
Such o meeting calls together o few who are
making llfs-Work Of guiding the religious
faith Of the rising generation. They seem y
extend, like myriafls Of spiritual antsnne, Into
every home from Mime % Oregon, taking hold
Of millions Of little hands, playing upon the
tender chords Of countless childish hearts, and
guiding the unfolding of many budding lives.
Then comes the Temperance organizations,
bravely fighting their uncompromising battle
against an appetite. For half q century thew
have been waging their honorable warfare, and
still they find that new agencies may he brought
to bear both for and against them, and that
national consultation Is necessary. 'p
The meetings Of our great missionary and
eyangeliring associations exhibit an earnestness
and devotion in spreading their special forms Of
faith which some might think were better be-
slowed on universal and essential truths. But
AFTER all, though the former were but husks, ma
ture has always used husks to inclose seeds, and
why should not scots be used to protect and dis
seminate truthsi l''H r.. " ."
None Of the Societies can report greater pro-
yress, or congratulate themselves moro joyfully
upon the contamination Of their great work,
than the Anti-Slavery Societies. Upon them
the crown has descended before the cross is out
Of sight. Their text should be, "Behold what
q great fire little spark kindleth." '.

The divorce case in New Haven, sued by Mrs
Elizabeth Judd against Rev Mr.. Judd, former
ly pastor Of the second Baptist church in New
Haven, now surpasses opera or drama or Diok-
cns' readings in drawing crowded houses. Mrs,
Ju,ld's testimony, II true, proves judd cruel,
parsimonious, tyrannical. lying and adultcrous,
the meanest rascal 'unwhipt Of JUSTICE The
sympathies Of the public are evidently with the
lady, who was once somewhat noted as poetess
when Mrs. Grey.
The above Is n case which ooppcrhcad news
papers are grecdily parading before their read
ers. Tho Bangor Democrat is ecstatic over the
testimony, and rcvcls in the tito Of
"Another Blood hound Of Zion - OF course DR..
Judd could not have been such lecherous
scamp had he not been Granting Abolishion-
ist," or preached politics in the pulpit" or
encouraged the 'unholy war upon the south. I"
and NIL such wicked things or course not. But
II turns out that DR.. Judd Is and was oil through
the war ranting copperhcad whose disloyal ut
terances were 80 offensive TO the loyal portion Of
the church in New Haven that they some time
since got rid him. Now just watch the copper
head newspapers and see how quick they will
.'dry up" about this bloodhound Of Zion"

CONFERENCE of the II. L. Church.

This body Of Christian ministers commenced
their qusdrennial session in the city Of Chicago
on the first day Of this month. It has never
met 20 far west - Chicago before. Two hun
drcd and fifty delegates answered to their names.
Bishop Morris, the senior Bishop Of the Church,
presided, assisted by Bishops Scott, james,
Ames, Clark. Thompson and Kingsley,-Bishopa
Simpson and Baker not having arrived. Prayer
was offered by the pioneer and veteran Of Meth
olism in the wilds Of the West, Rev. Peter Cart
wright. II takes two thirds Of the representa-
tivca of all the annual conferences TO make q
quorum for the transaction Of business. The
question Of admitting representatives from the
Missouri conference Of the Southern States, was
warmly discussed and referred 70 special COM
mittee. Also, the admission Of delegates from
two colorcd conferences, Delaware and Washing
ton postponed till the report on the organiza-
ton OF Missouri conferences should be received
A resolution instructlng the committee on
Episcopacy to consider and report on the expo
diency Of forming Episcopal districts and fixing
the residence Of the Bishops, was adopted.
The question Of the reconstruction Of the
Church in the late rebellious States, Is one oil
special interest, and elicits the warmest sympa-
thy Of many representatives. ..
The introduction Of the laity into the Annual
and General Conferences, is also subject which
enlists strong advocates pro and con.
The colonization cause called forth warm and
able discussion, and a very decided opposition to
the colonization society's objects and method Of
beneftting the colorcd race, was seen In the
speeches of some Of the delegates.
Our delegates from Maine, Rev. Messrs. Num-
ger, Allen, Colby and Jersey, are men Of supe-
rior worth, and all in the regular work Of the
ministry, except DR.. Torsey, who is Principal Of
the Maine Wesleyan Seminary.

The New York Erening Post speaking Of the
anticipated Issue OF greenbscks, and the effect
Il would have on Wall street alone, says: eve
estimate that the amount Of railroad capital now
held by the Wall street combinations at certain
ly not less than $3.50, 900, 900, would lead to an
advance in price Of these securities, on the av-
ernge, Of certainly not less than twenty-five, and
in many cases Of ffty per cent. On the other
hand, q forced sale Of the whole, In the present
Indifferent and distrustful condition Of the pub
lie mind, could not be made without CORES
pondipg decline. On moderate estimate, then,
an net Of Congress initiating the currency Is
worth in money to few scores Of Wall street
capitalists, who are capable Of mutual under
standing and of united action, not less than
seventy Or eighty millions Of dollars"

General John A. Logan, Commander In
Chief Of the Grand Army Of the Republic, has
issued an order to the Posts throughout the coun-
try, which opens with this paragraph;
The 3Oth Of May. 1868, is designated for the
purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise
decorating the graves Of comrades who died In
defense OF their country during the late rebel

Is prescibcl. but Posts and comrades will, in
their own way, arrange such fitting services and
testimonials Of respect Us circumstances may

Speaking of the heroic deal, and Of our duty
to cherish tenderly their memory, tho order
says:
If other eyes grow dull, and other hands
arc slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn
trust, ours shall keep II well as long asthe Eight
and warmth of life remain TO US.
Let US, then, at the time appointed, gather
around their sacred remains and garland the
passionless mounds above them, with the choicest
flowers Of spring time; let US raise above them

The Worlds Washington dispatch Of Friday
relates spicy debate which sprung up between
Messrs Fesscnden and Drake. According to the
dispatch II seems that in secret session the FORM
er askel to postpone the verdict for some time in
which to read over the record Of tho trial, and
especially to look into some legal points raised
by Mr.. Bingham. .........
Mr. Drake said Il was strange that such a
master spirit rs Fessenden should want time
when hc( Drake) the littlest man in the Senate
was ready. This appeared to him unnatural.
Mr.. Pcssenden replied somewhat warmly.
lie disclaimed being the master spirit OF the
Senate, bat regarded Drake as better authority
when he defined his own position than when he
defined the position Of others. 'r
Mr.. Drake sharply rctorted that he had been
honest in his remark about the Maine Senator
being great man, but he confessed now that
he WAS greater in annoyance. II the reports in
circulation were correct, what he said Of him
self that he (Drake) was the littlest man in the
Senate would soon be true Of the Senator from
Maine.
This caused decided sensation and Mr.. Sum-
ner took the floor and spoke half an hour for
making an immediate verdict.

Hoe Strange :

How strange-that Is the best word we have
how strange thing is Life 1t Is strange to
the young mother, as she gazes into the just
opened eyes Of her newborn babe, and spreads
in her palm the tiny hand, anxious, perhaps to
read what its future life may be; nor Is II less
strange to the babe, as Il first glances upon the
world, and its thoughts-if thoughts It has-and
who can say il has not-are rushing through
lis brain. How strange are the musings Of
ehildhood-how strange are the hopes Of youth
reaching forward into the future, and build
ing castles that will crumble ere they arrive at
the spot where their fabrics are located. How
strange is the first dawning Of love, when the
young heart surrenders itself to the dreams OF
blis-, and JOY and happiness seem lurking in
every sun-ray and inoOn-beam. How strange
Il Is, when mstrimony crowns the wishes, and
all cares are fancied by ardent hearts to be sur
How strange Is tho greed for gain that marks
and mars the life Of man, leading him away If
ter strange gods, forgetting all the object and
god Of life in q heartless chase for phantom
light that leaves him at last in worse than Egyp-
tan darkness. How strange il Is, the love Of life
that clings TO the old, and draws them back
imploringly to the scenes Of carth-begging for
longer lock Mt the frivolities af the world and
farther enjoyment Of the wealth for which they
have barter~i away the best years Of their life,
when eternity, with all Its beauties and Joys is
just within their reach. How strange II h, when
at last the end draws nigh-the glazed eye, the
struggle. the grosn, proclsim,ns dissolution, and
the still clay that denotes the extinguishment Of
the spark known as life How strange II Is. that
the realities Of the immortal life should be based
upon the crumbling ruins Of this, and that The
path to infinite light and eternal Joy should lie
through the dark shadow Of the grave. How
strange Il Is, in its business and pleasures, ii
joys and sorrows, Its hopes and fears, It's temp
taticns and triumphs, and Is We contemplate
life In all In changes, We end - w began, by
exclaiming-"Ho How strangsl" 80 'r7'''' -
