The Press aud The Pulpit;

Or, mo,e Infinitely, the Public Press, or Public
Journals and The Preaching Of Christianity.
Which of these is the greatest power in this
land and Of this period, may be matter of doubt
in some minds but Of this no good man will de-
bate-Shull these great agencies Of moral power
be employed to promote the moral and religious
reformation Of 4ociety2 That tits desirable these
forces should cooperate for the accomplishment
of a purpose so high and holy, who will ques-
tion? The pulpit may derive much aid from the
press, in enforcing the power Of truth and the
journalism of these historic times should receive
from the teachings Of the pulpit an impress
conservative Of good and progressive in social
and public morals
Moral responsibility is commensurate with
moral power. Let every public journalist realize
his responsibility, fearful indeed, to him who
pcrycrts the influence of such position to the
corruption of individual and public morals, but
blessed and glorious the plaudits to him who
proves faithful to the trust Of the public jour
nalist Happy day for this great republic, when
her public men and pablo journalists shall all
Practically accept that great conservative truth,
that righteousness cxalteth a nation, but sin
lisa roprooch to any people
When the conductors of the public press shall
vie with the true ministers Of Christ, to promote
the principles Of living Christianity, and men
in authority shall be distinguished for wisdom
and integrity, then may we expect to see the
people rejoicing in government Of equal and
just laws
History is not silent concerning the fate Of re-
publics, even those Of high degree of ciriliza-
tion, but without the true God and true relig-
ion. Degcneracy in religion and morals is soon
followed by loss ofiiberty and the speedy coming
Of either anarchy or despotism. Even within the
memory of some living France, without God and
without hope in the future lle has illustrated
these natural results by reign Of terror and
blood.
\ religion Of error may not be wholly destitute
of conservative influence in the state, but the
principles of Christian morals have proved most
conducive both to establishing and maintaining
the best human governments.
It follows then, that he who strikes blow at
the Christian religion, or would destroy its legti-
mate influence in the nation, is no friend to our
national freedom.

Finh Circuit-William r. Woods " Aahamn
sixth Circuit-George ". Eeiman Of Kentucky.
seventh Circuit-Thomaa Drummond Vt Illinois.
Ninth Clfcuit-Lorenzo Sawyer of California.
These nominations are generally commented
on with favor The only ones toward which
any decided opposition is shown are Mr.
Woodruff for the circuit comprising Now
York, Vermont and Connecticut and Yeaman
for the circuit including Ohio, Kentucky, Ten
nossoo aud Michigan No special objection
is made to either Of these gentlemen, except
by strong friends Of other candidates, Mr.
Woods, the nominee for the southern circuit
was originally from Ohio, and is now one Of
the Supreme Judges Of Alabama. Mcken-
nan, for the circuit Of Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Now jersey lives in the western
part Of Pennsylvania. He is a man Of high
character aud lawyer Of fine ability The
Maryland appointment, Mr.. Pearce, was rec
commended by nearly the whole bar Of that
State, and he is spoken Of as lawyer of sound
judgment and wide learning. Mr.. Yeaman
was formerly in Congress from Kentucky, and
for some years has been our minister to Dem
mark. Mr.. Sawyer's appointment is warmly
advocated by most Of the Pacific men in Com
gross. Messrs. Drummoud and Shepley seem
to be entirely satisfactory. Mr.. Woodruff is
now one Of the New York judges Of the Court
Of Appeals, something too old perhaps, but a
man Of learning, integrity and soundncss.
The friends of other candidates may strive to
defeat him, but are not likely to succeed

he came to this country for few weeks rest
between the struggle of yester eve and those
Of the morrow. He came to behold that
grand nature, bearing an impress of Deity
more profound as the hand of man is less ap-
parent upon it. He said

MesSrs. Editors II notice that YOU seem 70
think our Legislators were a little inconsistent in
not allowinga higher legal rate of interest while
they authorized their State Treasurer to pay $40
per cent. This is rather funny, as well as incon-
sistent. But there is one thing we must reco-
lect our State is little cold, inland State, and
the business Of most of the people is farming,
which cannot well afford more than per cent.
II the ministers and lawyers are not satisfied with
their present salaries, they had better emigrate
where the soil is better and the Winters shorter
There has been one continual howl by this class
of persons during the session of our Legislature
for several years past, and they have all succeeded
in getting their salaries raised-quite as high as
the poor farming community can stand. But
still they continue to howl. If our Supreme
Judges cannot be content with their present sala-
res they had better resign, and let some other
men take their places. | for one will run the
risk of getting just as good decisions as if we
paid the Judges $4,000,
Friend Poland, hope you will be contsnted
with 6 per cent. interest. The manufacturers
wont suffer in this State for want of higher
rate of interest. 1t is only men of capital who
go by us for this reason. Poor soil, and eight

GRANT STILL RECEIvING.-The Springfield
Mass Republican, Of recent date says that
Grant intends holding another reception A
set of noodl, in the employ of a manufacture
ing firm at Shelburne Falls have completed a
magnificent set of cutlery for presentation,
which, of course, he will refuse; Grant always
refuses. The set consists of sixty two pieces,
which we suppose is intended to remind him
of his famous exclamation of "Let us have
peace"-two dozen dinner knives, half dozen
carving knives and turks, and palr of steels.
The carving knives and forks to remind him
that he is carcing his road to fortune, If not to
fame, and that he gratefully accepts what other
fools choose to "fork" over; aud the stcels to
remind him-well, we will say nothing about
them, except that Ben Butler could give him a
practical demonstration.

THE LABoRERs AND SENATOR cAssERLY.

| 1t will be seen by the following, which we
take from the New York Wo,ld of September
18th, that the laboring men of the country are
awakening to sense of their danger and of
the disastrous consequences which would re-
suit to them from the introduction of hordes
pete with white labor:
The Carpenters and Joiners National Union
met yesterday afternoon at two o'clock. At
the nomination of officers, Mr.. Phelps, of Con-
necticut, and Mr.. Hughes, of New York, were
nominated for President and Mr.. Mowbray, of
Philadelphia, for Vice-President. 1t was re-
solved that the views of the Hon. Eugene Cas-
serly. United States Senator from California,
on the subject of labor, presented in his speech
delivered in San Francisco, July %, 1869,
meet our cordial appreciation, and we cheer
fully present eur thanks to him for his eloquent
and able remarks delivered on the side of
white labor. and against crowding the Repub-
lie with swarms of cOOle laborers who are in
reality nothing more than negro slaves, whose
condition was completely changed by the re-
suit OF the civil war in this country.
The resolution was adopted in Convention
composed of Delegates from all the principal
societies and unions of carpenters and joiners
throughout the United States, and it is fair to
presume. that self-interest at least, if no other
notive,'will band together the working men of
the country in opposition to the infamous
schemes of the Radical party, and that they
will support the Democratic candidates who
are pledged to oppose the 18th Amendment
and the immigration of Chinese, in preference
to the Radicals who insist on making citizens
of the Cinnamon by adopting the 18th Amend
ment and then striking the word "white" out
of the naturalization laws. The compliment
paid to Senator Cassery in the resolution is
well deserved for no one has opposed or will
oppose the Introduction of Chinese labor more
than the distinguished Senator from California,
and he is truly the white laborers' friend.

A New WAY TO PREVENT CHINESE IMMl

A New WAY TO PREVENT CHINESE IMMI-
GRATIoN.-The San Jose Patriot has the fol-
lowing quotation and comment:
The Elko Independent proposes to prohibit
the expectation of dead Chinamen as u consti-
tutonal method of stopping Chinese immigra-
tion. This plan certainly has the merit of
novelty.-Oaktand Transcript
Not at all Nearly two years ago, Rev Mr..
McLaierty, for some years President of the
Baptist College at Petaluma, on his return
from tour through China, delivered series
of lectures, in which he stated that he fully
and sincerely believed Chinese Immigration to
this country would cease, if they were pro-
hibted from exporting to China the bodies of
those who died here Mr.. McLafftrty stated
that Cinnamon invariably made inquiries in
regard to whether their bodies could be re-
turned in case they should die while absent,
before cOnsenting to start for California.
We do not know whether such a course
would have the desired effect, but we are in
favor of trying almost anything to prevent the
country being overrun with hordes Of Chinese
who are OF no benefit to the country but on the
contrary are driving white men and women
out of employment not only in California but
in some of the Western States. If laying an
embargo on the export of dead Chihamen will
prevent the importation ofslirf ones, we say
follow that course by all means.

LIFE IN WHITE PlNE-rhe Hamilton III

LIFE IN WHITE PINE.-The Hamilton In-
land Empire of September oath says:
A lady of about forty-two summers, who has
long been the victim of fantasy that she
would some day win and wear husband, in-
weighed u young gentleman of literary procvi-
ties, in this city, into the belief that she was q
mine of extraordinary richness. The man of
letters loved chlol ide, and was willing to take
an interest in that claim, even if the ore con-
tanned a little base meal. But q change came
over the spirit of his dream when he found
that the venerable lady had no change worth
speaking of. He recanted his plighted troth,
and when pushed to the wall by his ancient
Dulcinea to redeem it, incOhtinently insuted
the marriageable female by intimating that she
was an "old blk" Broomsticks suddenly
came into vogue, and the lterateur hastily
skedadded. The antique dame declares she
will pursue her faithless lover for breach Of
promise; but We fear it will be of no avail,
for We understand that the prosecuted youth
has secured passage for Elko by one of to-day's
coaches.
