A Revival Of mohammedanism.

From the Baptist Union.l
1t is well-known that the Mohammed-
anism has been making great progress
in India of late years, TO the alarm OF
the Hindoos, and that instead of being
a dying religion, il isundergoing a great
and ominious revival Recent informa-
ton on the subject is as follows. A
census of Bengal lately taken makes the
population 1000 900 instead Of 10000
600, as was estimated. In some dis
tricts there are 600 to the square mile.
The number of Mohammedans is far in
excess Of popular estimate, which has
counted them at about 100000, while
they are found to be 2e,664, 900. Of all
who call themselves Hindoos in faith,
there are AZ, $4,000. The Buddhists are
IS. 900 in number, and the Christians
$4,000. OF the aboriginsls, included in
neither OF these classes, there are z, 35l :
geo. II is stated that the Mohammed-
ans, with their armies of missionaries,
their theory that all faithful races are
equal before God, and their practice Of
raising any convert at once to full social
equality, are becoming so numerous,
that BY 1900 they will be half the popu-
lation, and ultimately will control the
religious destiny Of Bengal. Through
out many Of the richest districts they
are already nearly or quite one-half Of
the population, and in some they exceed
the Hindoos by 20 per cent, the most
astounding instance Of wholesale con-
version in modern history.

cARpENTER,s LOUISIANA BILL.

Senator Carpenters Louisiana bill is
quite sweeping in its provisions, and
when called up will test the sense of the
Senate more unequivocally than any
hill of the session. Its terms are too
explicit to admit of any evasion, and
the Republican party will have to put
itself on record. Mr.. Carpenter has
forced the issue, and there can be no
evasion. Thus far he has the
advantage of the argument en-
tirely, and Morton's specious ha-
rangues have served only to remind the
country of the bitter prejudices which
survived the war in the hearts of those
who were most conspicuously absent
from the front. Mr.. Carpenters bill to
restore the rights of the State Of Lou
isiana declares that there is no Gov
ernor. Lieutenant Governor, Secretary
of State, Attorney General, Auditor of
Public Accounts, Superintendent of Ed
ucation or Legislature elected by legal
voters of the State according to the con-
stitution and laws. There is no provi-
sion in the constitution and laws
for the election of State officers before
November 1876; Offices are nov filled
. de facto by persons claiming to hold
them under a pretended, fraudulent and
void canvass of votes given at the last
general election; pretended Legislature
has been organized in pursuance of lille
gal orders issued by the Circuit Court;
the Presidents proclamation recognize
ing these persons as legal officers of the
State was issued upon the representa-
tons of these persons, who, it now ap-
pears, are not legal officers; the people
are in danger Of being oppressed and
involved in vexatious litigation by acts
of the pretended Legislature; and the
peace is now preserved during the exist
ing state of things at the expense OF the
United States and by retaining part of the
army in the State. The bill provides
for an election on the 4th of March, 1874,
for State officers and such members of the
Legislature as should have been chosen
November 4, 1872, the President to ap-
point an army officer, not below the
rank of major general,t to superintend the
election. The bill prescribes the details
of registration at great length. The
final test will be had on this question,
which has so long occupied the atten-
ton of the public, within few days.

IT appears from Washington special
that the army bill now pending in the

States government during the war, for
stores and supplies taken or furnished
TO the United States army, including
those now pending in the army depart
ment Of the Government, shall be trans
ferred to the Southern Claims Commits
sion. This section of the bill is regarded
as virtually repudiating this large class
of claims, and vigorous effort will be
made by Southern representation to
have it stricken out. The committee
will endeavor to retain the section, but
may be compelled to give up the proyis'
ion ia order TO save their bill. These
claims are now adjusted in the Quarter
masters Office.

The Somerville Falcon Of this week
says: From every indication a new
party will be organized in this State in
time to have some influence on the
August elections of the present year.
Before the great political contest OF
November is fairly opened it will be
fully equipped and ready for battle. 1t
will be called the Conservative party of
Tennessee, and if properly managed
will sweep over the State with pretty
much the same majority that made
Senter Governor in 1869. This is a
mere glimpse of the general outline OF
the movement now being considered by
the more thoughtful and prudent leaders
of politics in our State. 1t is more than
probable that the scheme will succeed,
but it is not certain. We are not much
at predicting, but we will venture the
opinion that the contest will be between
Radicalism and the Conservative party.
