THE RELIGInus AMENDMENT.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having seen two
or three articles in the NEWS, In re-
gard to the proposed religious
amendment to the constitution of
the United States, giving the opin-
ions of their authors; and as there
is large, and respectable class of
people who look at the matter in q
still different light, 1 thought I
would try to write a few thoughts
on the subject. The incororation
of religious dogmss in the consti-
tuition of the country, would be
practically the union of church and
State, giving legal license to those
who feel inclined to persecute ali
who differ with them on religious
matters. Then what will become
of our boosted "free country"
which has for the last century been
looked to as the asylum of the op-
pressed in parts of the world? The
greater part of the blood OF chris
tian martyrs which has ever been
shed in the world has bean made to
1low at the behest of the so-called
Christian church, when united with,
aud controlling the civil govern
ment OF the country. Can we look
for different results, from the same
causes now? 1 think not. If the
platform and professions of the
leaders in the movement, are to be
taken as an index, of their inten'
lions they mean to enforce 10y lega
enactments, backed by severe pen
alties, the strict observance OF the
Pope's Sabbath, in the place of the
Bible Sabbath. When that is &C
complished who can say that the
prediction in regard to the mark o.
the Beast is not being fulfilled
When restrained of their liberty
and perchance hunted for their live
where will those who observe tn
Seventh Day of the week as tn,
Sabbath, according to the command
OC"JehOvah, fee for safety.

FROM FORT SCOTT.

EDITOR News: Seeing quite q
crowd in front of the "Capitol'' sa-
loon this morning, and hearing
that the crusaders" were out in
force, we crossed over to take a
look. The saloon was crowded to
overlooking, many standing upon
the sidewalk straining to get a
glimpse Of the women inside. By
dint of much perseverance we sue
ceeded in gaining an entrance.
In the middle of the floor, kneel-
ing in the filth and rubbish, were
a dozen or more women with bow
ed heads while one of their num-
Der was offering up a prayer for
the souls of the saloon keeper
and his associates. While thew
were alternately praying and sing
ing there was a constant jingling
of glasses and calls for drinks as
If in defiance of the efforts that
were being made to close the sa-
loon. Tired at last of their I'M
successful efforts, they left the
capitol" and crossed over to
" Henry's," on the corner of Main
and Wall streets, the greater por-
ton of the crowd following at
their heels. Gaining entrance
through the throng that were al
ready there awaiting their arrival,
after brief consultation, they all
kneeled and were led in prayer by
Mrs. Clark, the others Join
ing in with occasional amens.
Any attempt at disturbance by
the more excited and tipsy of the
crowd was Immediately frowned
down, both by the bar tender and
proprietor. Finding their efforts
unavailing they finally withdrew.
Nobody volunteered to sign the
pledge, and they did not proffer it
as far as we observed. Not being
acquainted with any of the "cru-
saders" we made inquiries con-
corning them, and found what we
had already surmised, viz: That
the women who take part in this
work, with one or two exceptions,
arc not of the first respectability,
also, that, as general thing, the
ladies Of Fort Scott do not very
strongly advocate the movement.
On the other hand, the liquor
dealers are jubilant; their advent
among them draws large crowds
and they sell correspondingly
large amounts of liquor. So the
real benefit is to the rum seller
and not to the cause of temper
ance. Yours,
j. X. STANLEY.

A recent medical writer says:
"Sleep wherever you can-any-
where when you can get a
chance; the want or the age is
Sleep" This is hot always to fol
low, as one of our townsmen, says
a contemporary, knows to his sor-
row. He was recently afflicted
with a bad cold, and to cure him
self of it resorted to the remedy
of putting his feet in hot water
and drinking a tumblerful of
strong whisky toddy, prescribed
by an aged and respected friend
of the family. Having got every
thing in order for carrying out
the prescription, he sat down by
the fire, his feet immersed in
warm water, and a tumbler of
Shaking hot toddy by his side
In this condition q sense of en-
joyment stole over him as he
slipped the exhilerating liquid,
and he fell asleep. His wife had
gone to bed, and, on awakening
about three O'Clock in the morn
ing wondered why she was alone
Going down stairs she was horri
fed to find her liege lord ASLEEP
in his chair, the fire out, his feet
still immersed in the water, over
which a cake of ice was forming
and an empty tumbler on the
chair beside him. His cold ISM
q bit better.

The State University is in some
kind of a muddle. Six members
of the faculty have requested the
regents to ask Chancellor Fraser for
his resignation. The regents had a
meeting but refused to make form
al investigation, and asked the pro-
fessors to withdraw their request
for the Chancellor's resignation.
AT II future meeting the regents
propose to reduce the number of
the faculty from nine to six.

ton, but his reasoning and sober
judgement were approved, and his
subsequent advocacy of the Ala
bama claims against the British
government fully relieved him OF
holding any leaning toward Euro
pean powers. The position he
took urging the impeachment OF
President johnson was approved,
and is 8 matter of history, also
his advocacy of the CLAIMS of Gen.
Grant to the presidency in 1868,
and his subsequent opposition to
the removal OF Mr.. Motley, and
the conduct Of the administration
in the San Domingo mstter.
The removal of Mr.. Sumner
from the chair of Foreign Rela-
tions did not sever his relations
with the Republican party until
the new party arose advocating
the election of Horace Greeley to
the presidency. Since that time
he has acted as an independent
Senator, and given his advocacy
to all liberal measures, particular
ly the civil rights bill. These eff
forts undermined his health, shat
tered by the murderous assault of
Brooks, and after a powerful
speech in the Senate, Feb. IL, 1872,
on the resolution to appoint a
committee to inquire into the
sales of United States ordnance
stores during the war between
Germany and France, it became
manifest that his strength was
failing, and his physician insisted
upon his taking rest. His last
visit to Europe followed, whence
he returned after the presidential
election in time for the opening of
Congress, and delivered his Abat-
tle-hag" speech. His recent Con
gressional record it is not needful
to state. His last speech was in
support of q substitute he offered
to the Centennial bill, that it
should be national and not inter
national in character, and in which
he closed q most brilliant Con-
gressional record of a quarter of
a century.
OF his domestic life it is enough
to say that his unwearied industry
and studious habits led him to de-
fer marriage till late in life. His
marriage was not a happy one, and
a separation by mutual consent
took place, his wife living in Eu-
rope; but the separation did not
affect the friendship between him
self and his father in law, Hon. S.
Hooper, Boston.
Scholarly, cultivated, with a
mind stored alike with classical,
useful and judicial knowledge, Mr..
Sumner was of dignified presence,
princely in appearance, but cour-
teous. Possessing a sonorous
voice, his address was imposing,
and his logic and oratory carried
everything before them. His rhe-
toric will be studied in generations
to come, and his name pass down
to history as showing alike stern
purpose, and answering adher-
ence to what he believed to be the
right. The nation moHrns no no.
bier man than Charles Sumner.

Al old farmer employed a son
of Erin to work for him on his
farm. Pat was constantly mis-
placing the end boards in the cart
the front board behind and the
tail board in front, which made
the old gentleman very irritable.
To prevent blunders he painted
on both boards a large 'tB," then
calling Pat to him and showing
him the boards, said, "Now, you
blockhead, you need make NO
