A few weeks ago there came to this
Office, through the mails. n pamphlet
containing u sermon Of some length,
entitled "Religious Liberty; A Free
Church In Free Country" 1t was "a
violent attack on the Roman Catholic
Church, conceived with an evident polit-
ical purpose, and was from the pen Of
Rev. John p. Newman, chaplain to
President Grant and late "inspector Of
United States consulates throughout the
world" From information which has
reached us since the receipt OF this re.
ligio- political document. We have reason
10 believe thnt II Is one Of the campaign
documents circulated by that pious or.
ganization. the National Republican
Committee at Washington, whose head
centre IL Postmaster Edmunds, OF that
city. 1t is needless TO comment upon
the hypocrisy Of this religious crusade
entered upon by the Republican party,
as the Catholic Church, or any other
church, is nothing to these desperate
politicians. except rs they can be made
auxiliary to their purpose Of stirring up
preiudices and bad blood They use a

Tho probable sequel will be an mp

decision Of tho condensation. under the
law Of 1879
IA the matter stands. Judge Lynch
has obtained from Judge Tissot. of tho

pancy Of the bench Of the Superior Dis

II IL true that Campbell's case may be
taken 10 the Supreme Court. who will be
sitting ut Opeiousas by that time. and
the result will probably depend upon
the sympathies OF IMdeling with the

As to Attorney General Field. the old
war horse, though still suffering from
Illness. looks serene. His opinion Is
that the law Of 1873 does not apply In
the least in Cnmpbell's case. and the

MRS. BOWERS.


Yesterday. during bis interview with
Mrs Bowers. our reporter had occasion
to hear n great many things, which will
appear much more gracefully in the
printed report Of the Congressional
Committee than i'm the columns Of the
DEMOCRAT
| Under what excuse anybody could
pretend 10 send her TO the insane asylum
would be hard TO say. for clearer
minded woman In seldom to be met
with. and This IL probably why Norton
and his associates are 80 desirous of
getting her out OF the city.
Mrs. Bowers came here on n subpoena
issued from the United States Circuit
Court to testify in certain cases In which
Norton IL supposed to be involved. and
the fear Of damaging disclosures In this
matter anpoys him. Besides. Norton
and Mr.. Beokwith. the United States
District Attorney, are not on the pleas

differences which occurred about two

office. This Is another reason why
Norton's mind has not reated easily
recently. Beckwitb has always shown
determination TO do his duty. and his
love for Norton Ia not of that nature
which Ia apt to mitigate bis determina.
tion.
However, there Ia n consolation In store
for Norton that the case or cases, in
which he Ia said 20 be so Interested. may
not he tried during this term. and Mrs.
Bowers will retire to her home i'm the
North IA soon as the Congressional Com

II is u fact that In nearly every large
citythe ladies' In congregation become
sentimental regarding their pastor. Itis
the experience OF nearly every minister
of my acquaintance. In cities, you
know, there Is more sentiment than In
| the country. Sentiment Is the result OF
idleness and living in luxury. Religion
Is akin to sentiment, and when a minis
ter breaches religious sentiment he
draws toward him natural sentiment.
| The minister is the confidant OF his con
gregation. He possesses, more than any
other man, the secrets OF households.
Women have always had this sentimen-
tality regarding ministers, and probably 8
always will. Why, knew minister In
Philadelphia once, Of whom 1t is said he
received two barrels OF slippers one

From all quarters of the State comes
the cheering news that the crops are be.
ing taken off successfully, and that the
yield is above the average. The receipts
OF cotton at this port are much in excess
of those usual at this early period, and our
merchants are consequently enjoying a
rush Of trade. The sugar grinding season is
from two to. three weeks earlier than is
customary, preparations being complete
for setting scores of ponderous mills in
motion as early as the first to the fifth
proximo The high price of sugar this
season will add hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the cash earnings of our plant
ers, which with the low prices of supplies
OF all kinds will increase immensely the
surplus or investment wealth of the State.
The early shipments, too, must effectually
prevent tight money market; and thus
will enterprise be stimulated and improve
ments undertaken. Under this promis.
ing condition of affairs the State and CITY
governments can confidently count upon
prompt collections of taxes, and hope to
reduce their next budgets to basis of
cash payments.
