knights TemDIar.

The late review of the Knights Templar
in Louisville, with the concluding banquet
and ball, is spoken of by the Louisville
papers as one of the grandest affairs which
ever occurred in Kentucky. In speaking
of the banquet at the Louisville Hotel, of
which mine host of the Maxwell is proprie-
tor, the Commercial says:
The banquet room was most elegantly
arranged. The tables were adorned with
columns, pyramids, towers, and every
imaginable device, composed of sweet
meats, edibles, ETC., and were gotten up in
a manner that excited the admiration of all
those who had an eye to beauty and cor
rectness of taste. Mr.. Kean's taste in the
supervision of this agreeable and very i'm
portant feature of the Templars' entertain
ment was manifest, and Of the most artistic
character. -. -.
NJ. Kean & Co., of the Louisville Hotel. by
their management of this grand entain-
ment have increased their immense host of
friends, and covered themselves with hon
ors. Kean & Co. are great, and the Louis
vile is their profit.

venture the prophecy that in all the
States where the Republican delegation
can meet these questions, Republicans
will come back to the next Congress. And
where the delegation cannot answer them,
disaster will fall upon them like the Phi
listines upon Saul.
The Administration, by which we mean
the Executive Government-President and
Cabinet, Vice President and Speaker of
the House-will have little influence upon
the election of the next Congress. None
of them have defined any position upon
the questions propounded. The President
has signed whatever railroad bills have
got up to him. He has, apparently, very
crude and sophomOric ideas of what a
Republican State ought TO be. The Vice
President has been silent, and can there
fore be quoted neither for good nor evil.
The Speaker of the House would be a
low tariff man, even if he were good
politician, but small is the help his COM
mittees have given the Republican party.
The Cabinet has the merit of harmony,
but it has not probably filed the measure
of expectation and has certainly failed to
strike the enthusiasm of the people. The
consequence is that the next election will
be popular election, pure and simple,
every district selecting Congressman for
itself, and concerning itself little about
past issues. Upon that next Con-
gress will depend the fate of the Repub-
lican party in 1872.

The Post office,

One Of the clerks at the post Office,
whose duty it is to open and distribute the
mails, informs Us that he left the Office
shortly before eight o'clock, Saturday
night, and had then received no notifca-
ton as to when the mail would arrive; that
arrival OF the train, if messenger had
been sent for him to his room from the
Office, he would have returned and opened
the mail; and that he will try to quad
against such an occurrence in the future.
We give him the beneftof this explanation,
as he appears not to be at fault for the
failure to open the mail Saturday night.

Dickens EulOgiZed I'm the Churches.
NEW YORK, June 12.-The leading
divines eulogized Chas. Dickens IN their
sermons to-day. Rev. DR.. Bellows paid
his respects to Mr.. Beecher, who, last
Friday evening, asked the question whether
MIR. Dickens was a Christian. DR.. Bellows
said that in these days we had to be eau
tious before asking the question whether
men like Washington, Lincoln, or even
Dickens, were Christians. Ii Christianity
could not hold such men, other questions
still more difficult to answer would be
asked Mr.. rockingham alluded to MIR.
Dickens preaching the living law Of human
kindness and sympathy to al mankind.
while DR.. Chaplin impressed upon his con-
gregation the undeniable fact that Dickens
had done great work in this Christian
world. The knowledge of the great
novelist tended to elevate the mind and
create a healthy moral tone. He never
exerted his mighty influence except for
good, and his pen was never used to ex-
press an immoral thought.

Fourth Congressional District

To the Editors OF the Union and American:
As it is time that we, the voters, of this
the Fourth Congressional District were
canvassing the claims of our many distin-
guished and able politicians for Congress
ional honors; permit us through your
columns to mention the name of our young
and distinguished friend and fellow citi-
zen, Richard Warner, ir., as one in every
ay worthy of that high and honored posi-
ton.
He was a member of our late Constitu-
tional Convention and of his parliament
ary and legislative abilities, it is unneces-
sary for Us to speak. They are known not
only to this Congressional District, but to
the whole people of the State.
He was one among the youngest mem
bers of the Conv ention and we can safely
say one among the most efficient men,
bers of that highly intellectual body. We
are satisfied we're we to place him in the
the council of nation lie would do credit to
his constituents and honor to himself.

the event will no doubt be one of the most
instructive and entertaining of the kind

cessful one, both in point of the numbers
in attendance and the proficiency Of the
