The public press is one Of The grandest in
strumentalites ever designed for the perpetu-
alton of free institutions aud for the good OF
mankind. But to fulfill its exalted destiny 1t
must be honest and under the dominion OF
truth. corrupt prostituted, debauched, and
mereenary press IS an enemy Of liberty and a
curse to the human race Ne one who has OBJ
served the course Of the leading organ ul this
Administration during the present session OF
Congress but must have been struck with the
unut,eraLle haseness aud degradation Of its
columns. You iind this fnlly illustrated in the
facts that have this day been brought to your
attention.
With the privilege Of free alHission within

OF imparting that information correctly to the

nocent, if not mer;orious, acts Of member OF
this House and spreading through the commu-
nifty the most unblushing perverSion of bis

for their Representations. If, as the cele-

The Late Bishop Johns.

This venerable prelate, beloved hy bis own
church and honored ty all Christian people
throughout the length aul breadth OF this
land is no more. His long aud ureiul career
was terminated on Thursday morning, at his
residence near Alexandria; aud yesterday all
that was mortal Of one OF the noblest, pures',
and most gifted men that any church could
boast was committed to the keeping OF mother
earth.
Since ls4l, when lie was appointed assist
ant 10 the late venerable Bishop Meade OF
precious memory, he has gone in and out,
journcying hither and thither over his extern
sive diocese in the faithful discharge OF his
important duties. He was as worthy sue
cessor as he had been faithful assistant to
one of tie most apostolic men the church III

entertained a profound admiration. Moore,
Meade and Johns What succession" IN
the true sense; of which any church might
well be proud
They were all churchmen but they mag
nified their Office, aud conferred more honor
upon it than the bishopric reflected upon them.
And how faithfully the late bishop resisted
the innovations of Ritualism which has threat
cued the Church in Virginia, and is paving
the way to the ancient hierarchy from which
our forelathers separated Cslm and self
poised, with the humility of 4 true apostle and
the firm courage Of a Spartan, he has resisted
the surging tide and beat it back. The con-
sentative influence lie exercised over the church
in Virginia was mighty for good and must re-
dound to the welfare Of that ecclcsiaSticism
even beyond the boundary of our own State.
Few men ever lived more bhmeleSs or
useful life, and, having gone far beyond the
period assigned by the Psalmst as the limit to
manly exertion, lie pursued his round Of duty
to tie last. and has now, fnll Of years and full
of honOrs, been gathered, like sheaf OF ccrn
in its season, TO the garner OF the Lord. In
contemplating the termination OF such life
