BEHAVIOR AT CHURcH-Every
community in which We have lived,
and an itinerant typo lives in many,
has been infested with certain class
of individuals, who either have no
respect for, or do not know how to be-
have about, the Church, during the
hours of divine service. We have Of
ten tried to reach this class Of individ-
uals through public print, in the hope
that we might say something to con-
vince them Of their foolish and disa-
greeable conduct in thus constituting
themselves . nuisance in society
But hope vanishes in the idea that
those so ignorant as thus to act are
incapable Of being touched through
the columns Of . newspaper. Hence,
we would ask the good citizens Of the
community, to take the matter espe-
cislly in hand, and find out the indi-
viduals who congregate on Church
steps and around outside Of the house,
to talk and disturb tho Minister and
his congregation. If they cannot be
persuaded to take seats inside of the
house, and demesn themselves with
silence, q: least, if not attention to
the Minister; they should be request
ed to retire to another part of the
town-for, verify, "they know not
what they do" Especially during
night service is the Church made vic
tim to this annoyance. On more than
one occasion recently, in Rayville,
have the Ministers of our different de-
nominations, and their congregations,
been annoyed and disturbed by the
loud talking of disrepectful persons on
the outside, or perhaps sitting on the
front steps sfthe house. Some States
have law to prevent such conduct,
but, we regret to say, Louisiana has
not. 1t therefore rests with the good
people of our town, by the exercise OF
q high moral influence, to rid their
community of this nuisance before the
11abit becomes more general and is &C.

Congress.

In Congress yesterday the proceedings were
somewhat interesting particularly in the
House. In the Senate Mr. Ramsay reported
back from his committee that good old bill
(''Monsieur Tonson come again") to abolish
the franking privilege, with amendments, and
he moved its immediate consideration. Mr.
vickers, of Maryland, however, objected, and
so the bill goes over for day or two, or, per-
haps, for week or two or month or two.
The House bill to amend the act establishing
the Department of Justice was passed, and
the rest of the days sitting was expended on
the Indian Appropriation bill
In the House Mr.. Lynch, from the Com
merce Committee, reported bill to amend
the twelfth section Of the act for the appoint
ment of shipping commissioners, by making
it apply to our coasting vessels and to our
trade generally with American ports. Mr.
Wood, of New York, objected TO the amend
ment, and denounced the original bill as OPP
pressve and unconstitutional. 1t was OBJ
noxious to our merchants. 1t was enriching
two men, particularly the Commissioner
of New York, who, in connection with
his Office, has established large
savings institution and boarding houses,
and was taking possession of "Poor Jack" and
his earnings, and clearing hundred thousand
dollars o year. If SO, this lucky gentleman
must look sharp, or they will be after him
next with committee of investigation. MIR.
Roberts, of New York, sustained Mr.. Woods
objections; but the bill was passed
The House next took up the bill fer the
admission Of Colorado as State, Mr..

THE LEcrsIATunE--The business done by
the Legislature yesterday, being void of all
definite and final results, cannot be said to be
especially important The groundwork was
laid, however, for future action, and three
most important matters of local interest were
presented in an initiatory stage. The Speaker
introduced the new city charter; Mr.. Burns,
bill providing for rapid transit in this city,
and Mr.. Patterson bill for the abolition of
the present Department of Public Instruction
and the creation of new Board of Education.
A bill to provide for rapid transit in this city
scarce needs any comment, and it remains to
be seen how far Mr.. Patterson may succeed
this year in ousting the present Board of
School Commissioners, remembering that he
has once failed. The Senate yesterday, in
open session, did little more than adjourn
over to Tuesday next, but as q court of i'm
parchment the charges against Judge Prindle
were finally disposed of, the Judge being re-
tanned in his position by q vote of seven
teen to seven. The House passed a con-
curing resolution with the Senate for
adjournment to Tuesday, to give time and
facility for the appointment of the standing
committees.
