The National Convention fer an
amendment to the Constitution to recog-
nize God as the source Of authority.
Jesus Christ as the supreme ruler, and
the Bible as the rule, met, last week,
in Cincinnati.
We have in recent number of our
paper expressed our regret that this
movement is urged. 1t is impracticable,
but that is the least objection to it. 1t
brings the Christian religion into con-
fict with the State, when the State is
not in conflict with religion. 1t pro-
vokes hostility to Christian legislation,
and thus endangcrs the existence of
what is already granted by the State in
the interest of religion and morals. 1t
discriminates against those Christians
who do not hold to the principles which
this movement seeks to Incorporate into
the Constitution, and thus arrays Chris
tion against Christian in an unseemly
strife 1t denies tie sublime and holy
sentiment of our Supreme ruler, who
said, my kingdom is not of this
world" and it asks the government of
the United States to affirm what He
himself rcpudiated and denied
We are agreeably surprised to find
that several religious papers have re-
Gently expressed in strong terms their
coincidence with our views on this SUBJ
ject, and we are very certain that nine
ty-ninc hundreths of American Chris
tians dcprocate the agitation.
We see that Gov. Jewell, one Of the
Vice Presidents of the Association, has
Withdrawn, expressing in letter lis
di5approbation Of the movement, and we
suggest that the best interests of relig-
ion require that all others engaged in
it should do the same.-N. Y. Ubserv-

Senator Orsborn received telegram
from Tallahassee, Florida, this evening,
announcing that Gov. Reed of that
State was impeachcd to-day by a unan-
imous vote of the Legislature upon the
report Of the committee on railroads
Nothing definite is known here as to
the developments which caused this
prompt action on tie part Of the Legis-
laturc. but charges have been freely
made for some time against the Cover
nor Of gross frauds in connection with
the issue Of bonds for building Of rail-
roads, and it is understood that the
charges have been proven by the evil
dence. Littlciicll who plunged the
State of North Carolina, by obtaining
State bonds to build railroads, pocket
ing the proceeds of sale and decamped
to Florida, is said to have been in
league Gov. Reed, and to have got
$3,0O0,000 worth of State bonds,
in exchange for an equal amount of
railroad bonds, building with the pro-
cceds only nine miles Of road. The
issue of State bonds to railroads is pro-
hibited by the constitution of the State,
and it is charged that Littlefeld bought
the bill through the Legislature and
corrupted the Governor for his sigma
ture. Reed is a carpct-baggcr from
Wisconsin,

MILD and MILKY Language.

There is nothing like mild and milky
language, especially when you have to
do with public characters. A newspa-
per in Maine does not venture to say to
palm-itching members of the Legisla-
ture Don't steal - or Don't sell
yourself" or Don't purjure yourself!"
But the journalist thus sweetly insinu-
ates his advice: :'Mcmbers must resist
the insiduous approaches and golden
arguments Of the disciples of fraud! !"
We are really living in very delicate
times. Though man may have utter
cd falsehoods until his face in color RI
walls the ace Of spades, it is gross vio-
lation of the rropricties of life to tell
him that he is liar" The word is
handy, short, and definite, but our lips
are forbidden to speak it, and our pens
to write it. To be sure it's in the Bible,
and there is rather distinct statement
there of the future residence Of those
who are economical of the truth; but
even the name Of that place mustn't be
mentioned to ears polite.

"According to recently published sta
tistics the number of people employed
in the primary production of iron i'll the
United States is set down at 40, 900;
Of whom 81, 700 are employed in rolling
mills, $4,000 in preparing ore and fuel,
1000 in preparing fuel Tor rolling mills
in blast furnaces 10000, and at forger-
les and bloomeries, $500. In addition
to this it is computed that 500, coo per-
sons are employed in manufacturing
articles of iron, which gives total of
$40, 900 connected in one way or anoth-
er with the iron interest. Free trade
proposes to drive all these people out of
employment, or make them find en-
ployment at something else. u Ex-
change.
Free trade does not propose to do
any such thing. and even if it did, would
it not be just to the remaining thirty,
nine million Of people who are taxed to
keep these workers in iron employed.
Protectionists assume what free traders
do not concede when they claim thai
free trade would put an end to the in
dustries working in iron. All the fire,
traders want is to put the people at large
on an equality with each other, and not
as the protectionists have it, and woult
still have it, to subject thirty-nine mill
ions of people to the remaining million
conceding what is not true, that nearl,
a million of people are engaged in the
iron industry. Let every tub stand or
its own bottom ;let every industry stand
on its own merits; let every worker
choose his own employment and make
his living the best way he can.-Du

\ Radical paper tells us that "the
Rev. Mr.. Foster declares that very
little headway is making against the
dense ignorance Of the Southern freed
men, This is no doubt true; but if
the carpet-baggers who have taken the
freedmen in hand had laborcd half as
faithfully to rid them of their ignorance
as they have labored to rid them of
their money and to control their votes,
that ignorance would long since have
disappeared. a.-Louisville Courier.

The Chicago post says: Lin her last
lecture Anna Dickinson says: Il never

railroad car pressed my foot with his.
| looked him sternly in the eye and
said If you repeat that I will call
the conductor and have you put off the
train" That reads well, but Anna
didn't tell all Of the story. The man
repeated the insult, and Anna called
the conductor, who heard the state
ments of both parties. Anna put in
her feet in evidence, and the conductor
decided theman must have
somewhere to put his feet and
told Anna that she should in future
wear hers sideways. That's the truth
of the whole matter.
