A FIGHT AGAINST TIE oHuRCHBs.

Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson, the regu-
lar Democratic orthodox incumbent of
Trinity Church, entertained his hearers
with aowery recital of the advent of the
liking of the jews (the Messiah), and the
unbounded joy with which the glad It'd
ings were received by all those in the
vicinity of Bethlehem who really believed
the great prophecy had been fulfilled and
the long looked for Redeemer come at
last The legend has been repeated in
one form or another by all the evangeI-
ical ministers that have fiourished during
eighteen centuries, and never fails to in
terest and please the audience.
Unfortunately, however, it has not been
practicable at all times to apply the sub
lime teachings of 'peace on earth and
good will to men," Protested Christians
who had the power have burned and
otherwise prosecuted other Christians who
had not the power to resist it, in every
century during the new dispensation, and
yet the eternal song about the glad tidings
has been sung in season and out of season,
without pausiDg to consider whether it
might not be possible that the divine
spirit had been SO mixed with human pas
sion, ambition and selfshness that it is
hardly any longer recognizable.
About half-past eight O'Clock in the
evening Of the same day on which Mr..
Thompson delivered his fine essay upon
the birth of Christ and the great blessings
to all mankind which, in his opinion, had
succeeded that event, certain Christian
churches in the rear portion of the city
were raided, and their congregations dis
persed by crowds of disorderly persons.
OF course the people were very much
alarmed, and fed to their homes in great
excitement. No lives were lost, and, so
far as we can learn, nobody sustained
any physical injury; bat the devotions
were interrupted and the services termi-
mated. The preachers who, perhaps,
were relating the ever.popuIar legend of
the advent, were obliged to stop and in
definitely postpone the conclusion of the
glad tidings. Their churches were dis
turbed, and their congregations scattered
in fear.
There is some mistake about this. If
Mr.. Thompson and his orthodox brethren
are correct in their views of the coming OF
Christ, and the beneficial effects of the
new dispensation upon the minds of men,
surely all Christians ought to enjoy the
privilege of celebrating the event in their
churches, and meeting in peace and quiet
to pra Use the giver Of the good and perfect
gifts over which gilt-edged preachers wax
so eloquent when they feel like resting a
spell from their labors of launching ana.
themas at original sin. After all the
millions Of money which hiss been
collected under the sanction Of the
Christian churches to carry the gospel
to the heather, it seems inconsist-
ent in Christian city to check the
preaching of the same gospel here. We
can not understand how it is that one
sincere Christian can take delight in the
persecution Of another, nor why the clergy
of one sect should remain silent and ap
pear calm and Indifferent when theil
brethren in Christ of another sect are
raided in their pulpits and their congre
cations sent shrieking home.

RADICAL REFORM.


In the flush times and saturnalia which
succeeded the war and ended in 1872,
there may have been members Of the Re
publican party, as Of the Democratic
party, who deemed representative vote
thing Of commerce, and an official sig
nature legitimate source of private rev
enue. These ideas were those Of mex
perienced or Of dishonest men. The remark
had been attributed 10 an emancipated
legislator in Georgia that be had once
.'been sold without receiving any part Of
the money; when be sold himself now he
got ali the money" The reasoning Of the
smart aa well a. Of the foolish who may
have made this use Of the influence

rHREE eovBRNoRs.

Louisiana mas got along LOT the past
four years with only two Governors, and
could do with only one. Bat as the titles
of both Messrs. Packard and Nichols are
likely to be disputed for come weeks both
in Congress and out Of it. by one psTty or
the other, it may yet become the duty Of
Governor Ke llogg to still hold the reins
of authority until the necessary and pro-
per consent be received for the induction
into Office of his successor.
There is ample authority given by arti-
Gle 122 of the constitution for the contin-
uanoe in Office of any civil officer whose
successor has not been installed. No Re-
publican, however, will doubt Governor
Packard's full and complete title to the
position of executive of this State. If
any other party raises the question, in
such shape as to render it impracticable
for him to discharge the duties which
have been imposed upon him by the people,
it may lead to the necessity of a further
continuance of Governor Kellogg in Office,
since no responsible authority in this
State, that we are aware of, will recognize
the claims of Mr.. Nichols. The State
can not very we'll get along without a
Governor, and the constitution has wisely
provided that the old one shall hold on
till the new one is installed.
It is worthy of serious reflection that
the national government has entire con-
troll of the political organization of the
State government of at least one of the
so-called Independent sovereignties which
compose the Union. A congressional
declaration and presidential order would
settle the business here in Ave minutes.
At present the two branches of Congress
are divided in political opinion, and
therefore not at all likely to agree upon
any point of dispute involving a surrender
of power or spoils. No agreement between
the two houses is, therefore, likely in the
Louisiana case. But this inability to
agree is all that stands in the way of the
virtual appointment of Governor and
Legislature of this State. So far as Lou
isiana is concerned, therefore, State
rights is completely overthrown for
every practical purpose. It sounds well
yet at political meetings, and looks
not out of place in a manifesto prepared
to humbug the people, but it has no place
in the practical, serious business of politi-
cal administration. A word from Presi-
dent Grant would set up Mr.. Nichols or
pull down Mr.. Packard as completely as
the command of the same man took the
sword from Lee at Appomattox end sent
his exhausted army home In peace. Such
is the power of the national government
since the South struck for State rights,
and thought it merely surrendered the
opportunity, not the principle, when it
could no longer keep an army in the
field.
If the Democrats succeed in defeating
the speedy recognition of Governor Pack
ard, they will be very likely to prolong
Governor Kellogg's term, as neither our
State officials, the United States Senate
nor the President are ready to acknowledge
Mr.. Nichols as the Governor of Louisiana.

MR., MORRISON ASKS A QUESTION.


Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, is not much
celebrated for any intimate knowledge of
the intrigues and stratagems of party. BE
may be all the better man for it, but
hardly better chairman of a committee
charged with the duty of unearthiug the
''tricks that are vain.
A witness before his committee, on Sat
urday, was relating some of his ex-
periences in the country when he was
asked by the chairman: "Do you believe
the Democrats were aware that the course
they were pursuing would give an excuse
to the Returning Board for throwing out
the vote of the parish, or part Of it3"
The witness replied that the Democrats
must have known what the effect Of
violence would be. "Then you admit, F."
said the chairman, with anair of triumph,
shat the Democrats knew that in all
those parishes where they practiced in
timidation and violence, the vote would
be rejected. am glad to hear you admit
it."
The logic Of the chairman of the COM
mittee seems TO be that the Democrats
would not be guilty Of the folly Of doing
a vain thing, such as would be the build
ing up of simulated majority in parish
which the law provided should be reiected.
The gentleman from Illinois evidently
thinks no man in his senses would go to
the trouble and expense Of creating q
thing which would be of no use to him.
Hence, he is prepared to reject the Rspub-
lican accounts from the parishes OF Qua
chita, Morehouse, East and West Felici-
ana and East Baton Rouge. and accept the
statement of the Democrats that every
thing there was peaceabla and altogether
lovely.
BE is mistaken, as the best men some
times are. It will be remembered that
these were all Republican parishes, with
an aggregate estimated majority Of forty
five hundred or five thousand. BY SO
conducting the canvass that the votes Of
these parishes were thrown out, this
large Republican majority went with
them, which would in itself amount to a
substantial relative Democratic gain. The
Democratic party, therefore, took two
chances, one Of which they surely thought
would win. First, 10 destroy the Rspub-
lican maiorihes, and second, to set up q
claim to Democratic successes in their
stead. Il they only succeeded 10 the
first, there vas gain which. in 3 close
State might decide the result But after

aisseney required they should insist up.

According to the following paragraph,
clipped from the summary news in the
Louisville Eourier-Journdl of the second
instant, the Republican party Of Louisi-
ana is in some peril from its pretended
friends. But as correspondents of North
ern papers are often deceived themselves
and mislead their principals, it may be
that the action spoken of has been greatly
exaggerated. This is time when the
Republican party expects, and must re-
quire, perfect good faith, and exact q
strict performance Of duty from every
member. A factious minority is as hurt
full to the party interests as open enmity;
and personal animosities. when enter
tanned for men in high positions, can not
be INDUCED without inficting injury
upon the whole organization. It is vitality
important that there be no finching, no
holding back or diasension at time like
this, when it requires the best efforts Of
all to succeed. We hope the events Of to-
day viii dissipate all fears as to the feally
Of any member of our party, and give a
fat contradiction to the insinuation Of
the Courier Journal that there are any in
the Republican party ready to betray it
to the enemy through motives of disap-
pointed personal ambition;
