New York city has a real live sensation
on hand. 1t will be remembered that Al
bert D. Richardson, press correspondent,
was shot and killed by Daniel Mcfarland
The latter accused the former of undue iuti-
macy with his (McFarland's) divorced wife.
While the life blood was flowing from the
body of Richardson he was married to the
woman in question by Henry Ward Beech
or. The divorce was obtained in Indiana,
on easy terms, through, as it is said, the
agency of Richardson, and forthwith the
editor of the Tribune pitched into the Rev
erend Beecher without gloves and openly
accused him of knowingly eonniving at a
clear case of bigamy. The Beecher fred
back through the columns of the I'adepen-
dent newspaper and sqpinted at " free love ;"
and affinity" The case is to undergo ju-
dicia1 investigation and it is thought by
many that Beecher will be1ndicted and held
to answer the grave charge made against
him. Rich, rare, racy and disgusting reVe-
letions may be expected. Watch the pa

Ike action of Tennessee Congressman as
to the election in this State, is thus referred
to in late Washington dispatch:
The Tennessee delegation in Congress,
Fowler in tie Senate and Hawkins of the
House excepted, have signed a protest
against the recognition of the late election
in their State by Congress. 1t recites the
history of the contest, and points out the re-
lation of the State and the national laws 1t
cIaiAs that Congress should set aside the
whole election as void, and declare all acts
of the new Legislature illegal, and the call
for a Constitutional Convention without law
full authority. 1t appeals to Congress to
cause an investigation of the matter to be
entered upon at once.
/" We should like to know" says the Mem
phis San, under what article or clause of
the Constitution. the right of Congress to in
terfere in the election in Tennessee could be
exercised And if there is no power under
the Constitution for such action, what au-
thority would Congress have for its action :? !
FUNNY.-As an evidence of the unftness
of negroes to possess the right of franchise
we assert that it was their personal business
to vote against the Convention, while labor

of this, every one of them voted for the Con

explain their stupidity and ignorance.

II says The sacrament Of Orders
includes the education of children,
g. well rs the power to offer the Holy
Sacrifice and administer the sacra-
ments.n 1t af6rms, further, that
education should be under the super
vision and control of the Church, or
the body who has charge of religion
and its administration. Again, it
says: Education is not the function
of the State, any more than is preach
ing or the administration of the sac
raments.'
Now, we wish to ask the attention
of those non. Catholics who patronize
Romish schools, under the belief that
those schools do not teach their no.
tons of religion, to these statements.
The Romanists do not believe in edu-
cation apart from religion; and their
religion requires them to train reli-
giOusly all whom they educate. They
believe 1t wrong to give a secular edu-
cation to children apart from religious
training. The Tablet argues this
point at large, and contends that the
Church alone, through the day
schools can give the education re-
quired. Can it be that, while they
believe this doctrine, and advocate it
publicly as the true policy for Church
and State, and practice it exclusively
and unfalteringly, they will relaxit IN
i favor of Protestant childrenp- Nest.

lConstantinople Correspondence of the

Without doubt you know that an
invitation has been sent to the East
ern Bishops to assist at the Ecumeni-
cal Council at Rome Till Saturday,
October 5, (17,) the Orthodox clergy
knew nothing of this invitation ex-
cept through the European news
papers, but that day the Able Tesla
paid a visit to the Patriarch at Con-
stantinople, and begged His Holiness
to accept the Pope's invitation. Hav-
ing ascertained that the terms of the
missiye were the same as those which
had already been published in the
journals, the Patriarch replied that
he could not receive it, adding that
the whole Orthodox Church ardently
desired the union of the Churches.
but that this desirable object could
not be attained as long as the Pope
continued to call. himself Christ's
Vicar, and consider Rome as the GEN.
ter of Christianity.

THE NEXT YEAR-A SUGGESTION.
The Sunday School Journal for De-
cember, Rev. j. Ell. Vincent, editor,
has the following. We commend the
views most cordially:
We have been led to suggest plan
of united effort for the next year.
All will not approve it. Perhaps but
few will adopt it. 1t is for US to make
the suggestion, and then leave the re-
sponsibility with you. The simple
thought of simultaneous movement
always has somewhat of inspiration IN
it. The week Of prayer gains power
from the universally of its observ-
ance. We would encourage the daily
reading of Scripture among Sunday
School workers, and the offering of a
prayer every day in behalf of the hum
dreds of thousands who are engaged
as teachers and officers in this depart
ment of Christ's Church, Who will
agree to our plan?
/. To read, during the year 1869,
one chapter each day, beginning jan
uary LIST, with Psalm, 1; on the one
hundred and fifty, first day of the year
to pass from the Psalms to Romans I,
the two hundred and ninety third day
| bringing us to Revelations XXI; on
the two hundred and ninety-fourth
day to begin with the Book of Daniel,
and during the last week of the year
to read two chapters each day instead
of one, bringing Us to the last chap
ter OF the Old Testament on the last
day of 1869.
2. At the close of each days read
ing to offer up silent or audible
prayer in behalf of all workers In the
Sunday School field.
3. To read each Sabbath the ap-
pointed selections in the iSasadoy
School Journal under the heading
The Teacher In the Closet"
1t IS not necessary that you should
publish this resolve, if you decide to
make it. Quietly go about the blessed
and beautiful service, for the sake O.
| Christ and his canse. II, then, yoI
chance to meet those who may be
strangers on overy other ground bu
this, you can hold fellowship as work
ers for God and with God. To this

who love the Lord Jesus.

LET Tia Have Rest.


The Israelite is one of the leading
organs of the Jews In the West. A
writer in it has recently advocated
the transfer of the Sabbath to Sunday,
urging that Union of all upon this
day will promote not only the relig-
ious aspirations of mankind, but will
secure a more complete and satisfae-
tory day of rest; and he states In this
connection that the word Sabbas J"
means simply REST.
Rest, then, being the great cardinal
idea upon which Sunday is based, it is
and should be doubIy priced by US
overworked Americans. Already the
nerves and brains of our people are
taxed beyond endurance. On every
hand we see frightful evidences of
this in the increase Of paralysis, in
sanity, attenuation, nerve disease in
every form; we see our people. as
they get Into the harness of life.
abandoning all relaxation and amuse-
ment, or plunging into it, if at all, In
the excitements of wine. gaming, horse
racing, &c.; and we see, as a matter
of course, men and women wrecks at
orty, or lying fast asleep under
green DeT clOtneS, InelE WOIA auu
leir lives but half done.
Now, whatever views men may have
about the proper observance OF this
Divine day, whether they advocate
practices ofCatholio Rome, or of Pur-
ltau Boston, all admit it ought to be
day of rest. We hold it to be a
vital thing. a reviving and renewing
of life, that all our people on this one
day in seven-seven if they do not go
inside church-lay aside the pillow
and the hammer. drop their buying
and selling, shave and wash and dress
themselves deceptly, walk about with
their families, read their books or
newspapers, and thus thoroughly
change the drift of their thoughts as
we'll as their occupations.
In this point of view alone, and not
in its sacred character, we have pre-
ferred to speak of it, and we strongly
second the movement initiated by the
Israelite, representing, as we under
stand it to do, the advanced thought
of an influential body who are every
day growing in numbers, wealth aud
intelligence.
