NEAR BLAcKBInD, Sept. 8. 1870,


Mr.. EDTToR:-We paid that old, time
honored institution visit on SUNDAY
last, and had the pleasure of hearing a
very interesting and instructive sermon
by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Newman, from
these words: "Who is among YOU that
feareth the Lord that obeyeth the voice
of his servants, that walketh in dark
ness, and hath no light9 Let him trust
in the name of the Lord, and stay upon
his God. Isaiah, SOTO. The reverend
gentleman handled his subject with per-
feet freedom, as one who not only knew
the meaning of his text, but as one who
felt every word he uttered. How we do
like TO see minister of the Gospel have
his whole soul, body, mind and strength"
wrapped up in his discourse. Mr.. New
man is very plain, unassuming man.

GRITTY no one knows-that Count Bis
marck is ready to settle with thesposses-
sion of Metz and Strasbourg, but that
the German people demand in addition
the French Rhinish provinces. If this
be correct, then the thin g1ise at first
thrown over the purposes of the Prus-
SLAMS is removed, and the war stands
out as war of conquest aud aggran-
dizement.
1t should be remembered that King
William is as eager to be declared Em-
peror of Germany as ever man burned
for regal power, and the course pursued
since the capture of Napoleon is proof
positive of what The Globe declared in
the early part of the contest, that the
Prussians fight for Prussianized Ger.
many, and William and Bismarck well
know that Prussianized Germany will
only come with the glory of victory and
conquest.
II any object of this view of the case
on the ground that King William is moi
now fighting for conquest but for future
security, simply let us ask why does
Prussia fear Republican France? Sure
ly so powerful nation must possess the
best possible of guarantees in its OWE
undeniable strength. 1t certainly can
not be jeopardized by republic If the
rule of King William is 80 dear and &C
ceptable to his people. Turn which way
they will, the defenders ofthe Prussians
are in dilemma. If the reason for tn,
war first given waa valid, then the Prus
slams have no longer any cause to re-
main in France, if it was false, then the
Prussians have no defence for entering
France and certainly have no plea fol
remaining. But reason as we may, they
still wage war against France. Whyf-

TWO WAYS TO TREAT POLITICS.

AS we do not keep an intelligence Office
to find out what the politics of private in
divlduals are, we can not say whether the
gentlemen who have hired the Cinnamon
are Republicans Or Democrats. The Demo-
crat says that they are Radicals. Will Mesrs.
John Williams & Sons, who are the chief
agents in importing Cinnamon, declare
what the politics of their customers are :?
1t is none of our business, it is true, but
If the private business Of gentlemen has
got to be a matter Of political argument,
we shall have to clear our skirts in the
premises. Our position on the Chinese
question is one of principle. We oppose
the introduction of cheap contract labor
from any quarter as illegal and unjust We
say that contract laborers will never sub
NIT to fulfill their engagements, and we
caution their employers that there is no
law to enforce such contracts. They are
against the policy of the State, and the

HOW TO CATCH THEM.

Mayor Hall has been cornered by
Marshal Sharpe in New York, and, it is
disagreeable to state, the Democratic
party has been caught in the corner with
him. Mayor Hall openly charged that
the census Was dishonesty taken in order
to damage the Democratic party. Mar
shall Sharpe challenged him to specify
wherein and whereat the census was dis
honestly taken. Mayor Hall unfortunate
ly specified the tenth ward, which gave a
Democratic vote of 700, and which only
returned an entire population of
S07. Marshal Sharpe replies that
he will go through the ward
with the Mayor and make the registration
before witnesses. The Mayor replies that
he is too busy. And this settled the
matter of fraud in that ward, and it
settled that the Democratic Mayor
and the Democratic leaders knew
OF it. Marshal Sharpe has elected the
next Republican candidates in New York,
or rather he has enabled honesty to do it,
which is both sharp and just.
