Uncle Billy's Sermon.

The following is true sermon preached on a
plantation in Alabama, by old Uncle Billy-one
of the good old darkeys Of the good old times,
who lived down in Dixie, where all the good
old colored folks come from:

Northern Methodist Preachers.

In speaking of the Northern Methodist
Preachers, the Richmond Dispatch says:
These Radical parsons force themselves upon
an unwilling people for political purposes, and
not only steal the livery of the court of heaven
to serve the devil in, but would, if they could,
steal the churches themselves. Their excuse
is that these churches are decided to the s'Meth-
odist Episcopal Church. The fact is that
when they were so decided the people owning
them were members Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church" But since that Church took to
politics, and blazed the way for the present
Radical party, our people have established one
Of their own, which they call Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South The people who built
these houses Of worship and upport the preach
ers are the rghtful owners OF the meeting
houses. No honest man could attempt to dis
possess them on technically. Yet this is just
what the northern Methodist Church is attempt
ing to do. We are sorry that General Stone
man has not thought it his duty to expel these
mischief making hypocrites from the State, in
stead of allowing them to have the use of our
churches on alternate Sundays. 1t is impossi-
bic to believe that men who thus stir up strife
IN community, and, under the cloak of religion,
give vent to the vilest passions Of the human
heart, are anything but villains.

Governor Wells.

In the debate in the House of Representatives
Friday week, upon the new bill reported from
the Reconstruction Committee for the govern
ment Of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, MIR.
Beck, of Kentucky, made long and able speech
from which we take the following extract
Gentlemen on the Reconstruction Commit
tee will bear me out in saying that, SO far at
least as Virginia is concerned, this is an effort
on the part of the ultra Republican leaders there
to set aside and nullify the reconstruction acts
in that State. The object Of this bill Though
| do not think the committee concur in that OBJ
ject), the real purpose OF the men who man1p-
ulated and projected this bill, is TO put all pow
Ell into the hands a few ultra Radical leaders in
that Convention, and to deprive Of the right OF
suffrage $4,000 white men in that State. The
present provisional Governor Of Virginia (GoV-
ernor Wells) came before the Reconstruction
Committee, and when called upon by our chair
man to state what he wanted, he said, almost
in the very words which [ now repeat land the
committee will sustain me in the statement)
that IN the first place he wanted liberal appro
priations to carry on the election. That we have
given them we have appropriated 5000
He wanted no further registration. because, as
he said, there were to-day %, 900 white men in
the State of Virginia who, under the present
reconstruction laws, are entitled to be registered
and to vote, and if registered they would carry
the State against the Republican party He
wanted to disfranchise $4,000 white voters in
that State. He further said that if they we're
permitted to adhere to the registration which
took place last year, when great many white
men refused to register, they would carry the
State, as they could if an early day was fixed
get the negro vote solid and get enough white
votes to give them a majority for the Constitu-
ton of the Radical candidates. The Recon-
struction Committee treated the infamous pro-
position with the scorn and contempt it deserv-
ed. There was not member of the committee
who did not refuse to adopt that proposition. !"
This is true picture of our new Governor
man so dead to honorable impulses that he
had the unblushing assurance to propose a
measure which even Radical Congressman
would not uphold When man has sunk thus
low, there are no lower depths which he will
not sound if opportunity offer and temptation
toll him. Such conduct calls for no comment.
Honorable men will know how to treat the
carpet-bag Governor who could find it in his
heart to propose to disfranchise twenty-five
thousand white men, and by this means, and by
carrying the negro vote solid," secure his own
election to an Office which the respectable peo-
pie of the STATE would never consent to confer
upon him-Dispatch
