guagc was used by DR.. Butler at the

Al.oSo BRANCH lpEA.--A large por.
ton OF Grants recent Message reads
moro like an ecclesiastical bull, ora Gov
ernor's Message, than that Of the chief
Executive Of the nation. In It he pro-
poses to run tho schools and to see that
the church property Of the country is
properly taxed, all OF which is none OF
his business, ,.and he never once refers
TO the huge robbcries committed on
the public revenues by the members
of his lovely household, which should
have been substituted for the school
and church tax question. BY doing
this he would have travelled in the
proper line of his duty, Another par
allcl outrage is that of appointing a
Military Commission to try bis bntty
-Babcock-who has been indicted
with gang of other scoundrcls for
defrauding the Government out OF
millions 81 its revenues. 1t seems to
us, at this distance, as though Grant
was trying TO make q halter for him
self, or coaxing for an impeachment,
and it he keeps on awhile he will be
awarded one or the of these diplomas

"TuE GOVERNMENT BLocKmEAr.-
About half of Grants Message relates
to local State affairs, wholly beyond
the jurisdiction Of the general Govern.
mcnt, especially the running of the
churches and schools which he proposes
to do. The editor of the Philadelphia
Times hits the Long Branchcr this
way:
ut appears that the President made
II little mistake when he urged Com
gress to devise some better method OF
verifying claims against the Govern.
mcnt than now exists in the Court OF
Claims, in that the matters of which
he complains are not within the juris-
diction of this Court. 1t would have
been just as well for the President to
learn something Of the subject before
writing about It; but we do not see
why he should be expected>to rcmcm.
ber all the laws when he cannot re.
member the Constitution. A mistake
about the jurisdiction Of tho Court OF
Claims is surely pardonable in n man
who supposes that the taxation OF real
estate is within the jurisdiction Of Con.

A CLERICAL BUFFooN We had sup
posed that buffoons and hypocritcs
would become scarcer since the settle
ment of the Slavery question by the
sword. The political agitators, Garri-
son, Pillsbury, Parker, Philips, etc,
have all subsidized, or died, but that
clerical buffoon, Gilbert llaven, is still
fully on the surface. In n Methodist
conference Of clergymen, laymcn and
Sunday school officers, which assembled
ut Boston last week, he had the impu-
dcnco to offer and pass resolution
nominating Gen. Grant for a third
term. Whatapity that Bishop Haven
and Gen. Grant could not be yokcd
together for the balance of their lives,
and sent out to Oregon 10 annoy the Mo
doe Indians. Haven evidently thinks

does of bis Saviour, or he would not

possible il was or Is for the President
TO be governed by any rules of civil

gallant officer who died in the service,
and, like many another thus bereit,
suddenly found herself driven from the
lap of luxury in which she had always
lived, and brought face to face with
stern necessity. Without assistance
from any one, she went last week to
the President and pleaded her own
cese, and it resulted in her not only
obtaining $1,000 position Tor herself,
but she did in the same mannerand atthc
same timc obtain other situations in
the Governmentservice for her brother
and her broihcr-in-law, and all within

While some narrow -bralncd bigots
who of course are honcst--bigots M
fanatics are always sincere and som,
small politicians, who are not honest
are cndeavoring 10 get up religious
controversy concerning our Common
Schools, il is pleasure TO find that
men Of high standing in the Church
and men who have claims to states
mauship, unite in rebuking these -bal
low meddlcrs. The Episcopal register
has this to say from u clerical stand
point
at has been said that these schools
are goddess. Whai.those who use this
word mean we cannot understand l.
il that the existing OF Il Supreme Being
is ignored ? Is ia that midclity is
taught? We have yet TO learn that
there is public school in the United
States where there is any such instruc-
ton. If il is meant that Ecclesiastical
matters ore not introduced, IL is true.
They are not introduced in business
schools, in medical, or law schools, yet
no one supposcs that our schools for
instruction, with n view to mercantile
life, or for medical or legal education.
must trench upon the department OF
Church and religion. The Church is
also a school, the school of Christ; it
has its appointed teachers, they are
qualified and able to give instruction
in that department, and much more so
when their pupils are sufficiently ad.
yanced in the elements taught by the
common schools. The common schools
have never yet attacked religion or
undermined the principles of morality.
When this is done, il will be time
enough TO consider aud correct such
an evil"

THE LEGISLATIVE PLOT.

Our special correspondent at Charles
ton. in his dispatch published yesterday,
gave Il startling rumor to the effect that a
plot is on foot TO defeat an election OF l..
:. Senator this session, 80 that Governor
JACOB NAV resign, and, by comblna-
ton OF political wire pulling, ultimately
Ind his way 10 "ad interim" Senatorial
houorS.
From the general knowledge OF the
characters of such men as Col.
.JoHSsoY and Speaker MONROE,
both of whom are mentioned IN
connection with this plot, We are iUclin-
ed to believe it is not 50 deep seated, nor
dangerou, as IS animated; but ii does
.,ok as if there was manTuvcring going
on among certain malcontents to prevent
81 speedy choice. and thus give the icgis-
,ature the name of being laggard and
vastcful of the peoples time.
The Democratic members have sui
acient majority to prevent the successful
performance Of either Of these designs,
if they will only use their power.
1t is necessary that this question be
settled, and some one elected, who will
be worthy of the honor. We hope the
legislature will make up its mind to act
and not allow the wishes of the people OF
the state to be trihed with, nor permit
the enemies of the Democracy an oppor-
,unitv to bring the party into disrepute
