"THE PROSTITUTION OF CHURCHES.
A church is place dedicated to the
worship of God. If any other use
be made of it, then sin and crime
has been committed in the sight Of
Him to- whose holy uses it has been
set apart. We regret to say that for
weeks past one at least of our church
es has been used as place wherein
to arrange plans to secure the success
of a certain issue at the regent spring
election, In other words, a church
that should be sacred to the worship
of the Father of all, and within the
doors of which should be heard only
words of praise and alteration and
supplication, has been converted into
a common caucus room-a rendez-
vous for those whose thoughts were
turned to the carrying Of an election
rather than to the worship of the
true and ever living Godr'
The above false, mean, low, dirty, ma
licious and malignant slander against
church that he dared not name, we
find in the Bulletin, of the 18th of
April, 1874, as an editorial by John
L. Vance. We think the above shows
the "true inwardness." But when it
becomes necessary to have Methodist
votes, why, then you see the necessi-
ty of complimentary notices" I
will pass by the street loafer style of
the article in the Bulletin, in reply to
mine, and will only notice this insin-
uation: "As to giving the report of
the committee appointed toinvestigate
the charges made by DIR. Lanahan,
we have never seen anything to this
day, where they reported anything
but the solyency of the Western
Book Concern, something of which
we never said a word"
We call this sneaking insinuation,
that the committee did not sfairly
meet the charges of DIR. Lanahan,
but reported something else which /
repel as slander on the denomiua-
tion, Bpt the "true inwardness'
must, ! suppose, like murder-will

The beautiful serenity which per-
vaded all parts of Alabama during
the recent election in chat State, is
celebrated by the Democratic press
North and South. So far as heard
from, "not niger was shot," and
yet the Democratic majority was over
whelming. The Alabama State Jour
nal throws some additional light on
this phenomenon by the following
paragraph:
"Under the operation of the pres
ent constitution of Alabama, which,
to this extent, is peculiarly and ex-
clusively the work Of Bourbon Dem
ocraticpoliticians, every voter in this
State is forced to cast his ballot in
the precinct for beat) in which he
resides. In order to crush out the
large Republican majorities in the
.'blaek tSlt," the Democratic party
possessed ITSELF of an the election
machinery in these counties; they
then appointed as managers of cleo
tion, those of their partlsans who
would not hesitate or scruple to do
any act to advance the interests of
their party. The policy was, in all
the precincts where the Republican
vote is overwhelming, not to open the
polling places. The Republican vo-
ters, by thousands, repaired to the
polls On Monday to cast their ballots.
Hour after hour passed away. and
still the Democratic managers failed
to put in an appearance. The re-
turning officers, who had the keys to
the boxes, also remained hidden away.
Democrats owning houses at the
places of polling closed them up
and left the scene to prevent such
as understood how to
conduct elections, from opening any
polls. Thus these thousands of hum
BILE, peaceable, law-abiding, and in
dustrious Republican citizens, they
who have titled this soil and made
our bountiful crops, were robbed of
the right of casting their ballots in
an important State election. And
thus were overwhelming Republican
overthrown and Democrat
ic majorities returned therefor

SOME one, it appears, has been
misrepresenting Col Bob Ingersoll
in the matter of some remarks which
he recently made, touching the char
acter of the Democracy in general.
The great orator now proceeds to ex-
plain himself in cold type. 1t will be
noticed that his language is plain:
"Editor Peoria Transcript:
"As a great deal has been said
concerning few gentle remarks that
l made before the County Conven-
tion the other day, and a great deal
about remarks that / never made, l
think it right to tell what did say:
First-I did say that the worst
ward in New York, the ward in which
there is the most ignorance, the most
crime, and the most vice, and the
most lice, would give the largest
Democratic majority.
Second did say, speaking of
General Grant, that he had done
more than any other man, probably,
to save the Nation; that / could not
forget that at Donnelson the eagle

circled up the cliffs to victory for the
first time, and that when / heard q
dirty, lousy Democrat or rebel SIAN
der snd curse him, that l felt out
ragged.
"Third-I did say that this was a
time ~ general suspicion-that every
body suspected everybody. That if
an Office holder had decent suit of
clothes, he was charged with stealing
them and the lazy loafers would sit
on the corners with faces that had
not been washed for year, and de-
nounce every man with a clean shirt
"as aFhief."
Upon the subject of shirts, dirt
and yermin, made no other observa-
tions.
''What l did say was bad enough,
and trne enough, without any addi-
tion whatever; but bad as it is, and
true asit is, | am willing to, and do,
stand by every word.
81 do say that the worst wards, the
worst cities, the worst States, are the
Democratic wards and the Demo
cratic States. L do say that the

of Tilden and Hendricks. | do say
that the haters of liberty-the as

shoot him down like a beast, disre

and children, 1 do say that these
men are not for Hayes and Wheeler.
l do say that the real friends of
liberty are the old friends of la
Dor, and that those who vote
for Hayes and Wheeler are the
best friends of liberty, labor, and

That a noble deed is step toward
God
lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and a broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our

By what we have mastered of greed
and gain,
By the pride deposed and the passion

And the vanquished ill that we hourly

We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we

When the morning calls to life and

But our hearts grow weary, and ere
the night,
Our lives are trailing the soiled dust.
Wings for the angels, but feet for the
men!
We must borrow the wings to find the
way;
We may hope and resolve and aspire
and pray
But our feet must rise or we fall again.
Only in dreams is a ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire

But the dreams depart and the vision
falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of
