Tiers are some noble sEamEes q lhg kind IN
the history OF European c6dniries. But no such
preacher has appeared during the last seven
years in the Metropolitan Church OF Washing
ton. The Methodist denomination must surely
contain some one man who would not be afraid
to do It, who would be courageous enough to
expose GRANT and the rest Of them To their
faces denouncc his and their evil courses, and
warn him and them Of the dangers Of wrong
| doing. We cannot expect this from the Rev.
DR.. NEWMAN.
II Congrecationalsm shall consent to
take its law from Brother SHEARMAN, Its 2rac-

structon from DR.. MOAN PORTER, It will be the
most stoutiy intrenched school Of free love 10
the world and VICTORIA Woodruff will have
succe eded, through the Vaccinations Of her en-.
emies, In planting her standard over the citadel
Of Puritanisn itself.
| There was debate few days ago in the
British House Of Lords on the subject Of slavery
| In foreign countries. Lord CAIRNS, speaking for
the DIsRAEII Ministry, boosted OF what the Brit
| ish Government had recently done for the sup
| preston Of slavery IN those countries where 1t
still exists, and ended his speech with u remark
which needs to be explained. lie said that
"sler. not small Or unlmportant. was sbout TO be

now somewhat demonstrative In Great Britain.

That always amusing veteran OF two
wars. Gen. GIDEON J. PILLOW Of Tennessee, has
a risky and stylish way Of doing things. lie Is
now anxious that GRANT should seize and
mex two of the border States Of the Mexican
republic, so as to make the sierra Nadre ana
| the Rio pauuco the boundary between the two
countries; and after explaining the way 10
which this ought TO tie doae, Gen. PILLOW adds:

defiant, sanguiuary, unquenchable spirit Of the
military hero, and it almost seems, in re ding It.,
as though we could get glimpse Of him rushing

content. But Immediately after. he shows US

with It's generous sentiments, Its large and no
eral spirit. 1h,rc are dashlne, gushing qualities
about both the soldiership aud the statesman

cannot help recalling at once his strategy IN the
Mexicen war aud his policy IA the Confederate
Congress.
We have news from Alabama and Tonnes-
see that the celebrated SAN BARD, who resides ia
these two States, has grown less energetic in bis
advocacy OF the third term, since his failure to
get the place 81 Postmaster at Atlanta. SAM
BARD's enthusiasm for the third term was not
lessoned by the BELKNAP aGatr. II had stood
harder tess than that and grew hotter through
them all. In fact, the BELKNAP exposures
made Il oyldeut to SAM nARDs mind that

The action of the senate in passing tie
bill for the admission Of New Mexico as u state
Is surprising, but IT would be still more suTpi is
ing il the House Of Representatives should con-
cur In the measure. The people oi the Territory
are not desrous Of any such change la thei'
condition, and in fact, tho greater portion OF
them ave incapable Of underst anding the pur-
pose Of the bill, being Mexicans, who cannot
read or speak the English language. There aTe
but two countics in the State in which Ameri-
cans have enough votes to control tue elections,
and in the existing Territorial Legislature we
believe there are but four Americans in the two
Houses. The Mex can majority, being ignorant
Of the character Of our institutions, permit
themselves to be ruled by the notorious Santa
lie Ring, which Is mainly composed Of Federal
ollccholdors; and the elevation Of the Terl-
tory into a state would only result in giving this
Ring Il representation OF two Of its members in
the United States Senate, where there are
ulready too many men Of similar stripe II
there was no other reason for killing the bin
than to prevent the further degradation Of tho
United states Senate, that alone should be sum.
