The Beeeher Case Nowhere.

Kansas is still ahead. She not only takes the
premium for big apples, but also in that which
came of eating the first apple of old.
Leavenworth has scandal and shooting
scrspe on hand, that knocks the Beecher case
"higher than kite" The papers of that city
are full Of IL, and publish some of the letters in
the case. They are good deal nastier than any
thing in the Beecher case; for while that litera-
ture was disguised in high-toued language, this
is the elean-strained stuff itself IL Leavenworth
makes proper use Of it, it will be bigger thing
for her than her railroad bridge.
II seems that j. L. Pendery, man of mature
years, and an old resident of Leavenworth, had
been carrying on a nest-hding intrigue with a
daughter Of Z. Hensley, another old resident
The lady is widow, but yet young and buxom
Hensley found it out, and go thold of some oi
Pendery's letters. He then threatened, if Pen.
derry came about his premises, he would shoot
hinl-if he could. Not long after, Hcnsley was
informed that Pendery was in his daughters
house; he seized shot gun, and started out fol
game; Pendery made straight shirt-tail fol
down street, and just as be was turning cor
ner, Hensley fired, one shot going into Pesdery''
cheek. This surprises us; for the letters of Pen
derry indicate cheek that shot could have nj
effect upon.
We suppose the papers will have more of il
and that il will also get into the Courts. Pen
dery and the woman both assert their innocence
She says it is a schrme of her step-mother's Il
iniure her. We believe so, too. Pendery wrote
those letters, aud made his frequent visits, JUS
to sho-> how syittnons they both c"aid be IN th'
midst af' tenptation-just like an old tobacc'
chewer We once knew, who swore off. He car
ried big ping in his pocket, and about once Al
honr would take it ont and rub it under hi
nose, Just to show that he could Withstand tempt
ation, even when the good thing was within
reach.
We believe that Pendery is virtnous. Bu
those letters show that he was in a terribly bad
way. If lie gets that way often, Leavenwortl
should vote bonds for his relief.
Pentlery would be dangerous man in nun
cry. He is SO innocent, he would put the in
mates to shame ut their unworthiness.
He is virtuous-eommcncing the first Of April
and ending the last of July, public days and higf
wafer excepted.
He has all seasons for his own.

God i'm the Constitu.son.

There seems to be q momentary lull in this
its advocates are taking
breath for another prolonged effort. 1t will be
sorry day when God is put in the Constitution
mot because of his being there, bat because
when he once gets there there will be very little
of his spirit in it, 1t will he the entering wedge
for every bigot to enforce his peculiar views ms
spirit of the Constitution, and for the Church to
assume control of the State. For the spirit OF
the devil, ungodly lack of charity for the opln-
ions of others, and refined fiendishness, COM
mend us to those who harbor the idea that they
are acting in the name of God.
But few days ago, Quaker member OF the
North Carolina Legislature, named Thornc, was
expelled because lie did not believe in a 'od.
The fact is, lie did believe in God, but not sncn
a God as is pictured by some of the orthodox
preachers He did not believe that God was
brute, who, for trivial offences, resulting iron'
ignorance, would commit, order or sahc'io"
atrocities that would disgrace hodoc inu,""
but he believed in kind and bene'oie"' po'"s'
the author of all goodness, who does gocu co"-
tinually. Thi, is but faint forcshadowihS OF
what would be the result if fanatics ever succeed
in thrustng God into the Constitution.
Last week. in Philadelphia, German was re-
fused naturalization because he did not beiieVe
in God. Put God in the Constitution, and you
force men to prescribed belief, or deprive them
of all rights and protection.
What was the late rebellion, but a war created
by men quarrelling in the name of God-the
same men who are now clanioripg for God in the
Constitution 1t was naugurats,l by the Meth
odsts and Presbyterians. They were the first to
divide, and are still holding out, presenting a
greater obstacle to u complete union of the
States. When the Southern Confederacy was
formed, there was rivalry between the Episco-
palians and Southern Methodists as to which
should be the Established Church, when the
Government became firmly established. 1t was
currently reported that the honor had been
promised the Episcopal Church. Certain it is
that the Episcopal Convention Of tho United
States refused to pass resolutions in favor Of the
Union, and it was in very rare instances tina;
Episcopal bodies in any of the States adopted
such resolutions while in the South, their pray
ers were changed to conform to the Confederate
Government. Old Whitehouse of Illinois, omitted
no opportunity of showing his sympathes, or OF
rebuking and punishing any understrapper who
expressed Union sentiments.
Those who assume to know, tell ms that God
has established himself in Heaven. Let him re.
main il the place he has chosen.

y We have just got an inkling of what all
the ceremony and red tape meant in the settle
ment' of the Pomeroy case. Gov Slower believed
that, as the matter stood, his only true coursa
was to give the 81 600 back to York, from whom
he received it, and let him give it where it be.
longed. But rs York had made such poor spec.
ulation of his virtuOus fit, Pomeroy's friends
feared that, to make up for what he had lost, if
he got hold of the money, he would shove it down
in his pants Hence they got up pow-wov,
making York believe he was taking 4 leading
part. but taking good care that he did not touch
the money!
