Governor McEnery ON the Sltna.
tiOn.-Ills Advice to the People.

=
New York, June "A New Orleans
special gives an address of Gov. McEn-
cry. in which he saws:
President Grant, the Chief Magistrate
of the Nation. has assumed the high and
grave responsibility of foisting upoE the
people of this State usurpation without
prece lent in this or any other free Cum
try and he is answerable before the bar o.
public opinion for this high-handed
measure.
The President with the army and navy
at his command, has the physical power
to coerce the people of this State into any
line of policy he may dictate, and it would
be but folly and madness to interpose re-
sistance likely to bring us in conflict with
the National authorities; vet the deeply
fixed sentiments Of irrepressible hostility
in the minds and hearts of an outraged
people, against the vilest usurpation ever
attempted to be fastened upon freemen,
will find their full scope and vent.
advise that these manly and patriotic
sentiments take form and shape through
all the moral and legal agencies possible
to be devised. In,he meantime l trust
that peace and order may reign supreme
throughout the State, and that all our in
dustrial pursuits will be unem5arrassed
3y political difficulties and especially do
/ urge upon the people Of the two races,
who are nearly numerically equal in this
State, to cultivate one toward the other
nothing but feelings Of amity, goodwill
and mutual understanding.

Taxing Church Property /.

The proposition before the OHIO Con.
stituiioual Convention to tax Church
property Is assuming degree Of inn
portance not anticipated q few weeks
since, 1t has found powerful advocates
among mon and newspapers where they
were not expected.
We are not disposed at present to en-
ter into full discussion OF the subject,
but propose merely suggestion or two
to stimulate reflection In regard to it,
And We can scarcely he charged with
undue partiality toward the Church side
of the question.
This proposition may be laid down as
indisputahIe That religious societies
stand 6rst among the couservators OF
public morals. This is true irrespective
Of sect. There is not congregation of
any persuasion in the State OF Ohio, but
exercises wholesome restraining infiu.
ence over the morals of its neighbor-
hood.
Another proposition is equally indis'
putabic: That large number Of con-
gregations are too poor to build church,
es, support their ministers, and pay a
heavy tax in addition. The first year of
the exercise Of the proposed taxing
power would destroy the organization,
and thus the moral influence. of very
large number of congregations.
The congregations thus disorgauized
would be among the most useful OF them
all. The wealthy city members Of church
could and would pay the taxes, but it is
more than doubtful if these are the most
advantageous to public morals. 1t is in
localities where vice is most prevalent,
where congregations are weakest, that
moral influence is most needed. and these
are precisely the places which Church
taxation would first deprive Of this moral
influence.
We are very greatly mistaken If the
best citizens of Ohio willingly do any.
thing to lower the moral tone of our
people.

A Foil Account Of the Fire at
Germantown, Washington Co.
Loss About esO0O-.Insurance
Lighi-A Black Snake Adven-
lure.
Ed. SPIRIT: The little village Of Ger
mantown, Washington county, was
nearly destroyed by fire on the evening
Of 3lst Of May.
The fire originated from defective lue
in the kitchen OF Charles Kuhlmans'
residence. 1t was first discovered by
Mrs Jane Myres but before assistance
could be rendered, the fire had commu-
nicated with his store room, and being
beyond control,t they set to work TO save
bis goods. the larger portion Of which
were eaved.
A shop occupied BY Peter Grover was
next burned, only portion Of its con.
tents being saved. A frame stable be-
longing to Kuhlman with large quan-
tity of hay and fodder was entirely de-
stroyed.
A blacksmith shop and dwelling be-
longing TO Joshua Cunningham waa
burned.
By that time the fire had communi.
Gated with dwellings on the opposite
side of the street and the dwelling oc-
cupied by DR.. Devine was consumed
with part Of its furniture.
The dwelling occupied by Samuel
Cronin was the next victim to the
march of the flames. Mr.. Cronin was
not at home. he being away with his
family visiting some friends on Duck
creek. The people broke his house
open and succeeded in saving small
portion of his.furniture. Sunday even.
ing Cronin came home and took phil
osophical view of things, and with bis
usual quaint humor concluded there
was no use to cry about it. This is the
second time he has been burned out Of
house and home.
The next house to surrender to the
flames was the residence of Mrs. Maly
Myres, 5 widow lady; her furniture was
mostly saved
Eight buildings were destroyed in an
Incredible short time; the citizens la
bored manfHlly to check the flames, but
their labor was vain with but one ex
cep,ion, the tobacco house Of Charles
Kuhlman was in flames at one time but
was extinguished before the fire reached
the tobacco. It's preservation is due
principally to Mr.. King who stood
upon the roof with bucket Of water
and carefully extinguished the sparks as
they Lis upon the roof.
Much credit is due the Young ladies
OF that vicinity. as they turned out with
buckets and worked with as much en-
ergy as the men, especially Miss Baroa
ra Stiner. All who witnessed the fire
speak sdmiringly of her exertions in
trying to stay the flames.
The citizens of Germantown are ar
enterprising go-ahead people, and vii
not sit down and dolefully mourn thei
loss, but will make proper efforts to re
build their village The loss is abou
$1,000. But little insurance.
