THE DUTY OF THE PREACHERS.

The words Of the press should find an
echo in the pulpit to-day. If every
preacher in the city of New Orleans will
raise his voice in favor of peace; if he will
point out the ruin and distress that fol-
low after violence; if he will reason with
the sentiment of personal vengeance, and
show how weak and unsatisfactory it is;
if he will picture the dreadful transition
from innocence and safety to crime and
insecurity as the press has done, the two
great organs of society will be united in a
work ofreformation which is sadly needed
and earnestly hoped for. The churches
will be filed with eager listeners, and the
voice Of reason may prevail with thou
sands to lend their active influence in
favor of different system Of social ethics
from that which now so sadly dominates
a large portion of the community. Men
need to be told, not only how wicked it is,
to kill, but how disastrous it is to him
who does it. The task is an easy one to
show that it neither satisfies the mind nor
accomplishes any benefit to the perpetra-
tor. 1t multiplies the evil which it was
intended to correct. Itaffects the innocent
and afiicts the weak. 1t strikes with widow
hood the wife of the dead, and divorces
the living. 1t creates orphanage to the
children of him that dies, and him that
lives. Parents are bowed with grief.
Friends are parted, and fortunes wasted
by its terrible fatalities. Communities are
perturbed by murder; its example demon
allies youth, and distracts old age. Its
entrance is the grave; its residence the
Jail, and its exit the scafold. 1t palsies
the present, and endangers the fu-
ture life. Its food is poison, and
its drink intoxication. The lie it
sought to suppress is enlarged; the
scandal it proposed to avenge becomes a
verify. It darkens spotless reputation,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-07-09

shadows the bravest heart, and appalls
the strongest conscience. 1t is inefface-
able from the hand, fadeless from the
eye, and unforgiving to the brain. No
man can defend it with reason. 1t is to
jump off of a precipice and live cripple
ever after. 1t is to affect the healthy
system with the virus of a loathsome
disease. 1t is to voluntarily divide this
happy life with modification and shame;
or, rather, it is to invite the paralysis of
guilt and peril to share the healthy func-
tons of innocence and safety.
If the preachers will say this as the
press has said it, the lesson may reach
thousands of hearts, and recall to reason
and peace hundreds of perverse people.

the tastes of the community. 1t is also
alleged that the price of land has in
creased, rents are higher, fewer farms
occupied by owners, general decline of
prosperity, lower wages, more ignorant
population, increasing number of women
employed at hard outdoor labor (surest
sign. of declining civilization), and steady
deterioration in the style of farming.
All these and other equally important
matters connected with the subject of
labor in Massachusetts, call for earnest
and energetic effort on the part of the
people there to keep the State from falling
into decline.

while in letter which he published in
1868, he boastfully declared that there
were forty thousand men bound together
by secret resolves in Tennessee, and that
they, with his assistance, were prepared
to break things, if matters did not move
to their satisfaction. Parson Brownlow
has resurrected this boast, and now asks
General Forrest which end of the diem
ma he intends to sit on-that of being a
boaster in 1868, or falsifer in 1871 !?
It is sarching" question, and the
answer will have to be categorical, or
Brownlow will repeat the interrogatory
in different fashion.

Alexander Stephens occupies honora-

The people of Oxford, Mississippi, will
understand that when the Times abuses
Senator Morton for advocating the Ku-
Klux bill, it covertly abuses them for fur
nishing him with the facts to justify the
passage of the law. If the grand jury Of
Oxford could indict three hundred people
as Ku-Klux, then the above, which is di-
rected at the measure as useless, may be
considered as an indirect attack upon
those who prove by their conduct that
the law is useful.

1t is a credit to the French people, and
the fact relieves us from the apprehension
that France was thoroughly impoverished
by the recent war, that, when the govern
ment of 81. Theirs advertised the new
loan, it was taken up almost Immediately
by the French themselves. One hundred
millions of dollars was paid into the treas
ury in one day in return for the national
bonds. This is sign of great wealth and
living patriotism.

bennett pretends that he is prisoner
of war, kept SO for party purposes, and
that he has no voice or freedom in the
local elections. Perhaps it is because
bennett has too much freedom, and vo-
ciferates too loudly that ne has no voice
in the elections. A trombone is not the
influential instrument in brass band.
