when ne can constitutionally adopt that
will dissolve the Kellogg rule. We can
understand how. in the event of continual
commotion, turmoil, the persecution of the
freedmen in the interior parishes Of the State,
or the manifest inability of the government to
exercise its natural necessary functions, the
President might interfere and proclaim
martial law. This, however, would be an un-
constitutional, and, without extreme cause, an
unjusti6able act akin to President Lincoln' s
suspension of habeas corpus in 1861 Mr..
Lincoln violated the constitution and incur
red the risk of impeachment Public danger
demanded his act Public opinion approved
it and Congress sustained him when it came
together. But the perils which invited from
Mr.. Lincoln this arbitrary exercise of power
do not exist in Louisiana. The Country is at
peace, and what we 40 must be done within
the forms of the constitution.
There is, therefore, no constitutional solu-
HERALD has proposed and which Mr. john
son cordially accepts-namely, the resigna-
ton by Kellogg and McEnery and all their
subordinates of all power or pretence TO
power and new election by the people.
'1f," says Mr.. Johnson with eloquent truth,
''they are governed by patriotic motives,
and desire to restore tranquility to their State,
they will not hesitate to take such step.
That Kellogg can desire to retain position
which is so adverse to the feeling of the State,
and which it is obvious he would not be able
to hold day without the aid of federal troops,
seems to me to be equally unpatriotic and dis
honorable. But upon such a question the
man Kellogg is the judge, and as he may
judge it will he meet with the applause or con-
demnation of the country" In expressing
these views this venerable statesman gives
voice to the honest conservative sentiment Of
the country, without distinction Of party.
Mr. Kellogg and his friends can give no bet
ter evidence of their fealty to the Union, Of
their patriotic regard for the people of Lou
isiana and their desire for the happiness of
all classes, black and white, than to hearken
to this appeal from one of the most honored
and illustrious of the nation IS CALDER men.

The PHrr.ADELpH1ANs are disturbed by the
mysterious escape of two prisoners who were
accused of robbing the United States OF
$lSO,oOo. These men had been in prison for
five or six months and were discharged by an
order of Judge Paxson, the order being served
between the prison van and the court, con-
trary to rule. After this event it was dis
covered that detainers had been lodged
against them by the authorities Of another
city, and it is believed that they owe their
liberty to some improper connivance. The
Philadelphia papers speak with considerable
indignation on the subject but with more
caution, the State having a libel law which,
except in unusual cases, acts as al effective
muzzle to journalism. For this reason it is
unlikely that the responsibility for the escape
Of the prisoners from justice will be fixed
upon any particular person, especially as the
officers of the Court have been acquitted The
Lstos thinks there should have been ful
hearing but this, upon some technicality' ws
depiad.

horses in the summer. The forest child of
to-day is generally pretty much of thief and
q good deal of q rowdy, and has acquired all
the vices of the whites without even one of
their virtues AS our conceptions of the In
dian character and our Indian policy are both
founded upon traditions, and not upon the
facts of the present, it is not surprising that
we should have an Indian war every summer,
and that the government should spend mill
ions OF dollars without any useful results. 1t
is certainly full time for the country to ask
William Penn to retire from task he is
unable to perform. He cannot civilize the
Indians, and they are simply becoming more
barbarous under his failure to manage them
The true way for the government to deal with
these savages of the Plains is by the army
The army, in fact, is depended upon
to manage them in every emergency,
and it alone stands between the frontier set
tiers and devastation and death. But when
ever the Indians have enough of war they sur
render and make their own terms. They de-
mand the protection of peace commissioners
| and agents, and live on the rations and the
bounty of the government AS the army is,
in fact, responsible for the Indians in time of
war, we think it should have the full control
of them in peace 1t could then maintain by
its moral influence the peace it annually has
to enforce by arms instead of seeing all the
good it has accomplished undone by divided
rule. The army is the only power the Indians
know and respect, and it ought to have full
control of them, and be held responsible for
the result This is General Sheridan's idea
of the true Indian policy, and the sooner the
country adopts it the better will it be for both
the Indians and the whites.

We publish to-day an article giving many
interesting facts and figures about metropoli-
tan choirs. 1t will be seen that our principal
churches have long since Quilted the dreary
desert of the pitch pipe and the precentor and
have entered the promised land of true art and
devotion. Instead Of the tough old tunes that
found their way over here in the Mayfower and
were alone calculated to exasperate Cromwells
saints into fighting or the elders of Salem into
WITHDRAWING, the works of great composers
may be heard in the leading temples of wor-
ship, interpreted by persons acquainted at
least with music. The barriers of fanaticism
and ignorance have been pretty generally
beaten down in this direction by the progress
sive spirit of the age, and few ministers, un-
less they happily fall across some benighted
congregations, venture nowadays to oppose
the introduction of the divine art into the
temple dedicated to the worship of the Divin-
ity. Trained choirs, with professional artists
for the solo parts, may frequently be found in
the metropolitan churches. The only evil to
be guarded against is the proneness of an in
competent organist to foist upon the congre-
cation his crude, puerile compositions. When
the matkriel of choir is good and the selec-
tons are in accordance with the spirit of reli-
gion the most powerful incentive to devotion,
generally more efficient than prosy sermon,
is secured.

the roses were beginning to creep-lie in ire
trievable ruins Surely no sadder picture
was ever seen in Massachusetts on sunny
summer morning than the scene of desolation
that lies spreading this Sabbath morning
under her famous old mountains. In the
meantime let us not forget another duty
that this disaster imposes on us, one that
especially should not be forgotten on this
Sabbath morning. Hundreds will be thrown
out Of employment and are homeless now,
all their little possessions gone. Let us give
them oil the succor they need. Contributions
sent at once into this district, either in money
or in the shape of clothing and provisions or
means Of comfort and shelter, would prevent
much suffering. Let New York send hun
bred thousand dollars at once to the local
authorities. Our people could do no better
Sabbath work than to raise this sum, and we
commend it to them this morning, as they
raise their thoughts to the Divinity who
never failed to succor those who were hungry
and weary laden and stricken with sore
distress.

The Religious Press ON the Swing Trial
The attention of the religious press this
week is divided between the Swing trial in
Chicago and the Arkansas middle, with .
little sandwiching of minor topics between.
Thus the Christian Union cites parts of tha
Westminster Confession for the purpose Of
showing that they are unchristian and self
contradictory, and that the Presbyterian
Church has actually gone long way beyond
those doctrines as Professor Swing declared it
had. That presbyter's teaching is, therefore,
consistent with modern presbyterianism The
Union declares that it is he and not his oppo-
nent who represents the best genius of Ameri-
can Presbyterianism-a genius that is one Of
Christian liberty. The Union asks, Shall We
put the brand OF heresy on men who teach q
gospel of faith and love and duty because
their eyes are not our eyes And gives an en-
phatic No to the inquiry.
The Independent is satisfied that there car,
be but one result to the trial of Professor
Swing-his acquittal. The basis of fact on
which the charges rested was so ridiculously
small that the Presbytery smiled at the energy
with which the prosecutor pressed them. The
himsiness of the evidence produced by Profess
sor Patton, too, weakened the respect Of his
brethren, for his judgment and his efforts to
secure postponement were denied by the
Presbytery with indignation. The IndependeHs
thanks Professor Swing for assisting, very
much against his will, in establishing the fact
that New School men with liberal tendencies
have good standing within the Presbyterian
Church. The Independent has also review Of
the Arkansas muddle, and gives it, verdict in
favor Of Baxter.
The Methodist reviews the Swing case.
which, it declares, is o renewal OF the conflict
between the old and new schools of opinion,
which, it proves, was only suspended, not ex-
tinguished, by the union. The case. says the
Methodist, involves the important question Of
the attitude that should be observed by ortho-
dox men towards those who differ from them
on points Of doctrine, but who. by their ex-
emplary life and zeal in good works show
themselves to be sincerely pious according
to their light. II recommends the Saviour's
rule of judging by the fruits rather than BY
the doctrines.
The Christian Leader is satisfied from tina
Swing case that such trials for heresy are
growing disrelishable, and Professor Patton
has found himself rowing against wind ana
tide. The sympathes not only OF the psoP'o
but of the clergy have been plainly with inc
hereto Swing

The event Of the past week in the calendar
Of the Church has been the commemoration OF
our Lord ascension to heaven. While it Is
yet fresh in the minds of the people the Rev.
DR.. Ganse will give it prominence in his dis
course this morning. and will attempt to de-
scribe the glory of that event. He will con-
tinue his series of typical sermons in the
evening on "Giving Speech to the Dumb"
The parable of the lost sheep is one of the
oldest and best preached themes in the Book,
and yet a great many new and good things
may be said on it Mr.. Cross, of England
will tell his Baptist hearers what lessons he
has drawn from it, and will also illustrate to
them how they may and why they should be-
come epistles of Christ.
The Rev. George o. Phelps, who will be
installed pastor of the Allen street church, will
this morning state and enforce ''The Law of
Christian Serving" while the Rev. S. d.
Plat, of Brooklyn, will present the Lord as
stronghold in the day Of trouble, and will
also show why the race is not to the swift
The Rev. Mr.. Elder believes infant baptism is
such heresy that it needs Christian and
constant protest. and close communion alone
furnishes that protest He therefore proposes
to add to the momentum and force of the pro-
test by his treatment of it this morning. All
men have goal in life, but comparatively
few have guide. Mr.. Elder will indicate
what the true goal is and where the true guide
may be found.
Moses was so interested in his interview
with the Almighty on Mount Sinai and ap-
preached so close to the divine glory that his
own face shone with the reflection of that
glory, so that when he descended from the
mount the Israelites feared to approach him
until he had put veil over his face. But che
visit not that his face shone" DR.. Briggs
will have some explanation Of this phenome-
non to give to the Church Of the Messiah this
morning. Mr.. rockingham will speak on the
religion of the soul, and will describe its
coming and going, its growth and develop
ment, and, of course, also its ultimate results.

Ar THIS SEASON, for several years past we
have been able to say, when commenting
upon the departure of numbers of our citizens
for Europe, that the summer outflow had
begun. For some time back we have been
apprehensive that we should get no chance to
repeat the phrase, but fourteen steamers left
this port yesterday for European ports and
each vessel had sufficient number of pas
sengers to please the company managers.
Now we say, emphatically, the summer out
fow has begun. If such disasters at sea as
those recently recorded cannot daunt Euro
pean tourists they are perfectly fearless.
