The Religious Faith of the Cabinet.

One of the Washington Jenkinses
gives the religious faith of Grants Cab
met as follows: "Attorney General
Hoar is a Unitarian; Secretary of the
Interior Cox is Swedenborgian; Sec
rotary of the Navy Borie is a Catholic !;
ex-Secretary of State Washburne is a
Universalist; Secretary of State Fish is
a Dutch Reformer; ex-Secretary Stew
art is Presbytern, and Postmaster Gen
eral eschews churches altogether. The
religious faith of Boutwell, and Rawlins
is not vet known to fame. Grants family
are Methodists, and that is the church
which he usually attends"

WAsnINGToN, April 2.--Tn the Senate
to-day Sprague made personal ex-
PLANTATION and said that his courage and
his words did not rest on wine or whisky
but on his knowledge of the danger to
the country from legislative and execu-
tive power assumed by the Senate.
A concurrent resolution to adjourn on
the 10th was adopted.
Twenty-Five Virginians called on
Grant, who intimated that he would
consult the Cabinet and communicate
a message to Congress recommending
their views, which involve a submission
to the Constitution with the test oath
and State acknowledgements stricken
out.
The following persons were nomina-
ted to-day as Governors of the several
Territories Stafford for Arizona; J. A.
Campbell for Wyoming; G. c. Crane
for New Mexico; Jno. A. Burbank for
Dacotah and Alvin Flanders for Wash
ington Territory.
The Senate confirmed Longstreet by
vote of % to 10, after two hours dis
cussion.
Senator Hill, heading half dozen Of
the Georgia Legislature, visited Grant
in opposition to the Bullock party.

COTTON AND GRAIN.

Prominent northern papers are vol
unteering their advice to Southern Plant
ers, some urging the largest possible
Cotton crop, with little regard to other
products, and others, contending that
the prosperity of southern agricul-
turo depends upon these other pro-
ducts and not upon Cotton. Such
reasoning has already had its in
fluence upon Southern Planters-they
have "pitchcd these crops"-and it is
useless now to continue the discussion
save that it will serve to thoroughly
awaken and finally to enlighten the
Southern Farmer upon his most impor-
tant interests. These, whatever fine
spun theories may be advanced, will
teach him, that half a cotton crop with
double price and an abundance of all
other agricultural products of his own
raising will give him that unexampled
prosperity this favored land designed
for him independent at home and the
outside world contending for his surplus
productions. So may it be.

1T WAS AN ERROR OF THE HEAD

Repeat it no more. Every premedi-

an error of the lead and not of the heart.

THE PRESIDENT.

The intelligent New York corrcspon-
dent of the Augusta Constitat'onaI'St
finds in the Presidents original Cabinet
appointments in violation of law, and his
blunders with Gen. Sherman and the
War Department, signs of weakness
which even "rcticence" cannot disguise.
Give him time. The pear is certainly
not ripe and few civil blunders do not
proclaim military President incompe-
tent or unequal to the crisis. We be-
Iicye him to DO "master of the situation"
and that he will pi We himself such
when the occasion demands it. The
radical rabble at Washington cannot
continue the controlling power Of this
government. They are already in con-
fusion. The President has nothing to
fear from the destroycrs of constitution
al liberty. Their power is passing from
them and it is only barely possible that
new party may be organized-friends
of constitutional republic and of en-
lightened freedom, to rule again the as
cendant. If such should be the case,
the Presidents imputed weakness
should ennoble him forever in the hearts
of the American people. The sceptr'
will soon change hands. Who is tx
wicld itf--is question the people
should and might answer.

THE XVIII AMENDMENT.

The opinion prevails that this propos-
ed amendment will be defeated. If it is
the country will be saved from the last
stage of a degraded suffrage, the South
may ultimately recover from that disas-
ter and hope may be entertained for
the restoration of peace, order and regu-
atedliberty. The North has the re-
sponsibility. Let it decide. If it
chooses to fix upon the South beyond all
remedy the infamy proposed we will not
forget that this same infamy arms us
with double power which in the gener-
al wreck we may WELD in behalf of the
South. We do not seek tive would
put it from us as the badge of republican
degradation; but if forced upon us let it
be our study to use it to the best advan-
tage.

had concluded an address, smoke
was discovered issusng from the reg.

ly surmised that fire was In pro-
gress In the room below; an effort
was made to discover the truth In the
matter, but very approximately some
stumbling individual accidentally
jumped against one of the registers.
making loud noise, which startled
the congregation and perpetrated the
most intense excitement, many sup.
posing that portion Of the flo, had
given way, An immediate rush was
made for the door, and fearful and
indescribable scene ensued. The
larger number OF children present
were In danger of being crushed To
death, and cries of frightful import
rang through tho building. A num-
Der OF the more quiet of the congre-
CATION stood upon their seats and en-
deavored to quiet the assemblage.
AS ii was evident that the danger
from fire was not immediate, some
one struck up familiar tune which
was taken up by others, and during
the singing partial quiet was restored,
and a less expeditions egress Of the
audience took place. 1t is somewhat
remarkable that no one was injured
during the confusion. A large hole
was cut into the floor To enable the
firemen to get at the fire. but the
damage will not exceed $500; fully
insured. s
