Mr. Disrneii and Judaism.

The Jewish Chronicle, a very high au-
thority among the people whose views
it advocates, has the following remarks
in reference to the new Premier and Ju-
daism: "There seems, iEdeed, to be a
singular mistake as to the relation OF
Disraeli to Judaism. Some Jews CEN
sure him as an apostate, and urge his
apostacy as an Instance of tergiversa-
tion. Some Christians sCotf at him as a
Jew, with singular disregard of all
they owe to the Hebrew race. Now, the
fact is that, in plain English, Disraeli
is neither an apostate nor Jew. He
was born of Hebrew parents. His faith
er, Isaac Disraeli, the author, and his
mother a scion of the Basevis, were
members of Sephardin Jewish families,
His grandfather and grandmother, in-
deed, rest in the Portuguese cemetery AT
Mile.end. Benjamin Disraeli was ad.
mitted into the communion of Israeli,
but his father, thinking fit to quarrel
with his synagogue, failed to teach his
child Judaism. One day Rogers, the
celebrated baukcr-poet, happening to
visit Isaac Disraeli's house, at Hackney
when Benjamin was about five or six
years old, and rcgretting to find so in
tclligent a youth without religious in
struction, took him to Hackney church
FROM this event dates his absolute and
complete severance from the Jewish
communion. He became q Christian
and great genius was lost to rs"

icy excludes immigration from our
doors, locks up our mineral wealth,
prostrates business, and drives popula-
ton and enterprise out of our midst,
while taxation, corruption and mul-
tiplicity of offices eat up the scanty
productions of the people and make
poor State which Nature has exerted
herself to make rich.
For while, our people were not dis
posed to consider these things. Living
in condition of excited passion all
through the war, they did not speedily
settle'down to calm consideration of
the political situation. But the pas
sion and the excitement hav. about
passed away. Men are beginning to
act with some reason, and to conclude
that no surer way to civil disorder and
general misfortune eau be pursued, than
the prOscriptive system which in West
Virginia has ignored ali other interests
in order to secure temporary partisan
adv autage.
There is no question that public opin-
ion in this State has undergone mark
ed change in regard to the manner in
which our affairs ought to DC conduct
ed in order to secure the greatest gen
eral good. 1t remains for the oppO-
nents of the party in power to take I'D
vantage of this change and to overthrow
that party at the polls. United. con-
certed and vigorous effort will turn
three-fourths of the Radical Office
holders out of place at the next elec.
tion. Nothing is needed but work. The
Republicans majority at the last cleo
ton was about two thsusand in the
State. Had full vote been polled, it
would not have been as many hundred.
Since that time changes have been oc-
curing much more rapidly than before.
Upon fair voteunder the present reg
istry, the Democrats can carry the State
beyond ali doubt.
Why should they not do 90. The call
for State Convention furnishes an OPP
portunity to complete their organiza-
tion wherey er it is deficient. The efforts
of few active men in each neighbor-
hood. would so consolidate our forces
that scarcely man would be missing at
the next electios. Let such men take
hold vigorously, and we have every as
surauce that the happiest success will
crown their labors, and West Virginia
will be redeemed from her political
bondage.

Impeachment.

The Radical organs affect great indig,
nation at the firm, prompt way in which
the Chief Justice suppressed the tumult
raised in the Court by the impeachment
party, at the close of tho case on We'd
nesday. "The people were hustled out
of the chamber by policemen" says a
Radical evening journal OF this city
1t is more true to say that the roughs
and gamblers posted in the gallery for
the purpose of political demonstration
were quelled by the dignity of the high
officer of the law. Here is part of q de-
scriptiOn of the scene from Forney's
Press of yesterday:
The scene at this juncture was one
long to be remembered b. those who
witnessed it. The enthusiasm OF the
galleries reached the floor, and many
of the members of the House joined IN
the applause, utterly regardless of the
rules Of the Senate. The Chief Justice
raped his gavel in vain attempts to re-
store quiet, and several Senators, who
rose from their seats to demand that the
galleries should be cleared, we're fairly
driven into their seats by the enthusias-
tic clapping of the audience. Senator
Grimes was the first to make himself
heard, and demanded the immediate en-
forcement of the rules. He was met
with Kisses; and some wag, as he started
for the corridors, commenced singing
"Old Grimes is dead, that bad old man,
We ne'er shall see him more.
The crowd in his immediate vicinity
catching the spirit of bis wit, and con-
Meeting it with the doubts which have
been expressed regarding his final vote,
as we'll as his reelection, Joined in the
song, and sccne of great confusion fol-
lowed.
The Radicals are perfectly frantic at
the idea of justice, truth, or honor
standing in the way of a Senator's vot-
ing against the President. The Tribune,
leading journal of the ''party of moral
IDEAS" in its editorial, yesterday emit
ted this moral idea: "The cant ICE hear
about the responsibility Of an oath is ab-
surd." On all sides it is conceded that
the impeachers have failed to make out
any case against the President. Wheth-
er his conviction can yet be secured
through perjury, bribery, seduction and
intimidation, and what the consequence
will be-this involves the further ques-
ton, have the Radicals yet so blunted
the moral sense of the American people
that they will tamely suffer such an in
fanny to be perpetrated in their name |!
Wade and his friends are trafficking
like hucksters with their rivals; tho
millions of the public plunder are prom
ised lavishly; the smaller gamblers are
Offering share in their expected gains
in short, the Radical camp is, at pres
ent, pandemonium Of greedy wicked
ness, stimulated to fever heat by hope
deferred and troubled expectation. The
best sign is that the Radical schemers
have lost all their former confidence; it
is no longer "sure thing" with them
only a desperate necessity to which hon
or, justice, truth, and every obligation
to God and man, especially the cant
about the responsibility of au oath,"
must bo ruthlessly sacriticed.-4ge.

On Tuesday, boy named Sparin,
twelve years old, and another named
Hewitt, three years older, left Kansas
City with a team to get load of wood,
some five miles in the country. On the
way they quarrelod with another boy.
son of Mr.. Hester, and whipped him.
They say that as they were returning,
Mr.. Hester came out with rope in his
hand, stopped the team and threatened
to hang Hewitt for injuries inflicted on
his son. Mrs. Hester also came out at
the same time. Hester attempted to
mount the wagon to get hold of young
Hewitt, when the standard of the wood
rack gave way. He fell to the ground
and the hind wheel of the wagon passed
over his body AID killed him. AS Hes
ter jumped on the wagon, it appears,
the boys started up the horses, which
caused the catastrophe. The deceased's
wife tries to make it caae of murder,
by saying that while her husband
stood by the wagon, one of the boys
threw a coat over his head and the
other attacked him with stick Of
wood, knocking him seuseless.

LAST NIGHT.=-At large number of
ladies and. gentlemen collected at the
tall Grant and Golfax pole on Water

A large and commodious stand had
been built around the pole for, the

stand was lighted, up with red. white
and blue lamps, and decorated with
flowers. Mr.Andrew HutchinsonRgas

an hour poured hot shot into the
enemy ranks. Mr. Hutchinson is a
plain speaker, and has the courage to
call things by their right namesia He
gave an excellent exposition of the

are the champions of the working

with great applause by the swoFkihg-l
