in times like these, some men are

not yet approached the Southern
mind in any form 50 ominOus as that
which suggests the general abandon

some OF our Louisiana papers have
( permitted this idea to find entrance
into their columns. Leo them reflect
a moment upon its pernicious ten.

emancipation, if generally INDUCED,
must prove as disastrous as it is
gloomy. Once ditiuSed among our
people, it viii work like an insidious
narcotic, carrying tOrpor to brain
and nerve, paialyzing heart, hope,
courage and energy. May heaven
avert this terrible injection
One Of our contemporaries incOn-
siderately predicts that the adoption
OF Constitutions framed by radical
conventions in this and other South

migration from these States, which
is now incOuslderabie, to swell into

would, indeed, be a calamity OF
which the horrors could not easily
be exaggerated. But, granting, for
argument. their nominal adoption, is
it possible for them TO prevail as the

THE NEGRO WANTS POLITICAL EQUAL.
iTY, NOT SOCIAL iFFiLIATIGN.

From the Clarion
We are gratlfed to learn that probably
neither the negro nor the soldiers who
were so severely wounded il the row at The
negro ball the other night, will die of their
injuries.
In reference to this affair, we will remark
that this and similar disturbances of the
peace, are consequences of Radical teaching
and examples. When the soldier hears the
doctrine of social and political equality ad
vocated by the chosen agents of Congress;
sees them embodied in the governmental
schemes which they are attempting to estab
lish- When he sees the agents Of Congress
walking the highways ia arm with the negro
with HIM in the byways--sees them electing
him to make laws for The rule of tbs white
m en--secs them choosing him 0 attend the
National Convention of the dominant party
to select a caud !date for the Chief Mrgistracy
Of the natoR--sees them selecting him to
represent them in the electoral colegs-sees
them meeting him in SecreC concaYe and
engaging in sweet converse, and God only
knows what else, in the loyal Leaguos
Uhy, with all these shining examples Of
determination, social and political, carried
on luder patronage Of the Radical majarity
in Congress, which has emsscuiared the CO.
ordinate departments of the government and
subordiuated them to its own will, is it not
natural that the poor soldier should think
it no harm for him to enjoy "a bit of dance,
on such an occasion as the one out of which
grew this deplorable AFFAIR." And here the
issue is joined. The negro, who is willing
to wear his political honors, and to sit with
the pale faces in the assembages which are
summoned 10y Congress to make laws for
"de people, " and to draw ten dollars a day
for his services. will naturally resent with
the terocity Of tiger, nuy intrusion into thr
circle Of his domestic joys, or any attempt
at partnership in the smiles Of his Dinnh OF
conyyial occasions, which he regards rs his
vested property. These rights eucroached
upon, a row follows blood flows, aid the
devil generally is to pay.
These affairs are, c2mpnratiycly, cf small

The opinion Of The supreme court upon the
motion 10 dismiss the McCardle case has
been published. The important fact appears
that the court holds that its appellate juris
dictlou extend to such cases even before the
passage of the act Of 1867, recently repealed,
except that it was necessary they should be
brought upon writ of certtorari, as well as
The writ Of AaJcds corpus. Chief Justice
Chase delivered the opinion Of the court,
and concluded it as follows:
THE act of 1856 7, giving direct appeal in
such cases having been recently rpealed, il,
remains TO be seen what view the court
will take Of the effect Of the repeal in this
case, and it ucco rdingly stands continued
until the next term of the court for argument
and final judgment"

is fast losing itssvitalizing power.
1t is becoming worldly-minded and
fashionable, and is drifting back to
the cold, dead formalities of the
mother church. Those prominent
characteristics that once marked its
membership are fast passing away,
and that once peculiar people are
now recognized by 10 distinctive
christian excellence. Even those who
minister in holy things cannot be dis
tinguished by their outward seeming.
Many Of them dress faShionably,
wear rings and pins, whiSllers and
moustache, and present more the
appearance OF fierce brigandS than
OF humble ambassadors of CuRIST'S

mon spirit have taken fast hold
upon the church, and, in the pride
Of p0mp and power, it is seeking to
ignore its original simplicity, and to
pander to the progressive" spirit Of
the age. For several years past,
many Of its members and ministers
have welded a strong influence in
favor of the pew system, and the
introduction Of organs and choirs into
the church service the ceyy things

and the deep tones of the organ add
greatly to the effect But these
things are out Of place in Il Method

plicity Of its form Of worship, which,
to my mind, constitutes its chief eX-

heart that had loved them.

for 'cOdsultateOn.
