Rev. W. II. HILL, of Sacramento,
writes to the Union that Rev. Frank
Ever and his colleague, who are
striving to introduce the confessional
into the Episcopal Church in New
York are ''small potatoes, and
will not have the countenance or
sympathies of any respectable mem
ber Of the Church in any part Of the
country. Ever is and ever has been
a sensationalist. Since he wrote the
Eventlul Nights for the Pioneer
Magazine in San Francisco, which
took so we'll and fooled Judge Ed
munds and other head men among
the spiritualists, he has been trying
to keep up his reputation in that
line, and even since he has assumed
the sacradotal robe and Office he
finds it hard to control his desire for
sensation and notoriety.

The animus of the Democratic
party, in its desire to see the Gov
ernment of the United States fail
ure, is easily detected on this coast
by the avidity with which the San
Francisco Examiner seizes upon,
aad every other Democratic sheet in
California, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho
and Montana feebly echoes, every
possible and impossible pretext for
casting odium on Secretary Bout
wells management of the Treasury.
During the gold excitement among
the brokers of Wall street. New
York, who had formed conspiracy
to get control Of all the gold in the
country in order to bring trade under
contribution to them, and were only
frustrated in their plans by the
timely action of the Secretary of the
Treasury in manifesting disposition
to open the vaults of the United
States and pour in such food of
gold as to drown them all out, we
are informed by the Examiner, and
the story is reiterated by its aids,
that Boutwell, is severely censured
in mercantile circle. for the part be
played in the gold-room swindle.
Again, we are told that Boutwell,,
the last Radical idol, has fallen TO the
ground, and that both Democrats
and Republicans are crrsing him
fer bis perfdy, etc. 1t is an easy
matter to make general charges, and
where, as in this case, the wish is
father to the thought. it appears to
be a pleasure to trump up and pub
lish imaginary abuses; but when
asked to specify the wrongs of which
the Secretary has been guilty, the
answer is even more general than
before, and the Democratic reader
is given TO understand that under
Radical rule the country is going to
ruin, but how or why they do moi
deign to explain.

Thar sentiment attributed to
Beecher with reference to the waDton
killing of a robin doesn't seem to
animate the breast of our neighbor
to any great extent. After announc-
ing the breaking of a Chinaman's
leg in Virginia City, in Saturdays
issue. he declares it pity it wasn't
his neck. Whether the Chinaman
in question has at some time or other
come in individual competition with
our neighbor and got the best OF
him, or whether it is the outgrowth
of that general Democrat sentiment
that Cinnamon are dangerous rivals,
that causes exultation at his misfor-
tune. we are unable to say. Ii it is
simply because he is Chinaman
that he would see him punished and
killed for daring to live on the earth,
then il must afford the editor Infinite
delight TO be able to torture toad
to death by pricking him with pins,
for surely it will be admitted that a
Cbinaman approaches as nearly the
human being as does the toad, or
the dog if you please, and yet peo-
Die are in the habit of expressing
sorrow for the misfortunes OF either
of these.

Ec,MENIcAL.- Since the announce
ment of the convention of an Ecu

in December quite a number OF en-
quiring minds have expressed won
derment as to what sort OF meet

Webster tells us that the word ecu
mepical means the inhabited world,
belonging to the whole world gen

clude that an Ecumenical Council is
a council of the inhabitants of the
whole world.

A CARD appears in the San Fran
cisco Bulletin signed by Elton X.
Smile, in which the writer claims to
be the author of the Shaw letters
from China. He says he is such an
intimate friend of Mr.. Shaw that be
dared to perpetrate this as little
harmless joke" on him. The Alta,
however, declares that Shaw prom
ised to write, and as these letters
came from the quarter of the world
in which he was then travelling,
signed with his initials, it is alto
gether likely that Mr.. Smile is a
trumped up witness to relieve the
party from the odium of Senator
Shaw's slander of the Irish Democ
racy of San Francisco.

thereby deprive. yourselves of billions OF
dellars invested in this species of prop

military power, exercised by dictator
after the war had ceased, that placed the
country south of Mason's and Dixon's
line in state Of bankruptcy and rum
that will require years of toll and labor to
recover from. Some proclaim that this
was the result of the war. We
proclaim the statement lie, for
the South had surrendered, and
an armed foe dared not oppose the

Andrew Johnson, a despot who now
turns up his plebeian nose at the thought

WELD it with more savage vindictiveness
than Andrew johnson. The people OF
Tennessee will never give such
man their confidence again, and in the
election of Senator from this State,

Capt w. G. fOlkes and the Chief
CjerEsnfp of the House.


Among the persons spoken of for the
position of Chief Clerk Of the House,
we.have heard of no one who so hearth
" commends himself to our considera-
ton and support as our fellow-townsman,
Capt ". C. Folkes. He would bring to
the position q combination of rare quail
ties unequaled by any other asprant.
He has already attained high position
at the bar of this city, and is justly re-
garded as one of the rising men Of our
State. Captain Folkes came from Vir-
GINA at the cioss Of the vag and engaged
in the practice of the law, and by his
strict business habits and moral charac-
ter and sterling integrity has won golden
opinions from all classes of our citizens.
We claim that West Tennessee is entitled
to this position. Shelby county is the
banner county Of orr Stste-her claims
are entitled to o paramount considera
ton at the hands OF the Legislature
The eminent services rendered by Capt
Folkes in the late election entities him
to the kind consideration Of the people
Of Shelby county, and we feel that w
but reflect the seniimepis Of oar people
when ge say that his election 10 this posi-
ton will meet with the hearty approva
of our people.
