thither by its mineral and agricultural
wealth within the past few years, has had
a tendency to disturb and unsettle the

have little OF no morals at all, and their

Years ago. when the persuasion was i'll it,
weakness the Rev. DR.. Scott gathered
above him large religious constituency,
eloquence and logical power. Perhaps
DR.. Scott was then and is now one of the
most eminent preachers i'll the United
States. He was called to san Francisco,
where stately church cditice was built
Lafayette square Presbyterian church is
now the most fashionable religious estab-
lishment in New Orleans. Dr. Scott was
called to San Francisco. where the Cali

church was the fashionable religious
establishment in san Francisco Just as DR.
Palmer is III New Orleans. That was
Years ago. We cannot say what is the
case at present. When DR.. Scott left New
Orleans there WAS great sorrowing on
Lafayette square, for one of the greatest
preachers III the world was going away,
and it was not certain how his place was
to be supplied. Fortunately the congre-
CATION secured the reverend Mr.. Palmer,
and as time has mellowed the remem-
brance of Dl. Scott it has sanctioned
the change. DIR. Palmer is a great
pillar III the religious, world He is IA
man of profound erudition, ornate de-
livery and acknowledged piety. The
church on Lafayette square is deeply
welded to him as pastor, scholar and
mentor. The ties that bind the conere-
CATION and the preacher are strong by
virtue OF their age and by the force of
their agreement. And vet it seems that

New York wants our tavoritc minister,

The flavor Of his religion being Southern,
New York considers it necessary that this

purity. We are in doubt until the result

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

This august body is just now the sub
Ject of serious discussion by the Demo-
cratic journals. A sort of fear peryad,s
the quasi apologists of ku-kluX ont
RACES, that the United States Senate is
about to do something to compromit its
dignity. Nearly every vote OF that body
from the day that scion OF South Caro-
lima chivalry disgraced himself, his party
. and his State by Gaming one of the Sena

The same Senator from the head of an
important committee. has been carefully
scrutiniZcd with the view to determine
whether or 40 the Senatorial dignity was
in danger, The Times is especially dis
tressed lust now because the Senate does
not conduct business to the present liking
of that rather tortuous sheet.
The burden Of its lament is that the
Senate of to-day is not equal t. that of
some other day. Possibly the same thing
has beyn said about every Senate We have
ever had since the first one. Comparisons

a city do Just what they are asked to do in
the way of bestowing offices or favors. they
inspire the mendicant with feelings of the
highest love and veneration for day or
two. After that time the happy recipient
discovers, by an ingenious course of
reasoning, that his own merits compelled
this public recognition and We
have known men go so far as to
censure the appointing power for not
sooner making the obvious discovery. But
since Calhoun died a disappointed man,
