CEAURGCEE AND STATE.
The SeTRlOa that Created such
q Breeze liz the Legislature
Last ESOHdaV.

The House on Monday voted .
resolution Of censure on Rev. 7.
A. Hoyt Of the Presbyterian
Church, for delivering the follow
ing sermon, but afterwards re-
considered the vote. The follow
ing is the sermon:
TeXt-14th chapter Of PrOvelbs,
verse 81; Righteousness exall-
eth nation, but sin is a reproacb
to any people:
a conspicuous, all-embracins
institution is the State. History
reveals it everywhere. All see
its presence and feel its power. IL
includes us all in its amble fold.
None can evade its grasp or ig
more its existence. Another great
institution is the Church, visible,
powerful, wide embracing. II
partly comedies with the State
anG shares its subjects with it.
All members Of the Church are
subject to the State. Most citi-
2ens are in some way connected
with the Church.
In considering these important
bodies, three questions occur:
Where do they arise? What ends
do they serve2 How are they re-
lated to each other. Let us en-
deavor to answer them in sue
cession.
First: From what authority came
Church and State? AS TO the
former, there can DO but one re-
ply. The Church is evidently n
divine institution. The State,
likewise, comes from God. Gods
will is the source Of all govern
ment. This is certain:
|. Because God is the creator
and absolute possessor ofall men.
No human action can transcend
His authority.
2, Because the nature of man.
which impells him to society and
government is bestowed by God,
and is the expression of His will.
3. Because God, only, is the
Lord Of the conscience, and to
Him all questions Of right and
duty must be ultimately referred.
4. Because His moral LAWS all
embracing, including States as
well as individuals.
5. Because God uses civil gov
ernment as agencies in promoting
His will on earth. The Scriptures
are full Of illustrations OF this
6, This is expressly affirmed in
Scripture: "1here is no power,
but Of God, The powers that be

The Legislature and what it
ia Doing,
SATURDAY.

Mr.. Savage, from the Finance Com
mittec, presented a report returning
Gen. Pryor's proposition from tho
bondholders with the recommends
ton that it be not accepted. An cf-
fort was made to postpone the con-
sideration Of the report until the mi
nority Of the committee could prepare
a report; but the majority refused to
listen to such a course. Mr.. Morris, Of
the Committe, then read protest, not,
as he stated, that he favored the prop
osition, but wished to add an amend
ment to tho effect that we will receive
and respectfully consider any further
proposition from the creditors of the
State, and asked that the matter be
passed over informally until the in
vestigating committee make their re.
port; and because the matter was of
such importance it should not be dis
posed of in SO summary a manner.
Mr.. Roberts moved the previous
question on the adoption Of the re-
port. The minority then began to
fillibuster and argue, protesting that
it was an attempt to gag them. MI
merous points of order were made. A
standing vote on the previous auos-
ton resulted in the demand not be-
ing sustained. After a lively discus
sion, Mr.. Roberts moved the adop-
ton of the report, and the roll-call
was as follows: Ayes-Anderson,
Bib, Bledsoe, Grow, lands, Moss,
Roberts, Savage, Shcaron. Smith Of
Davidson, Tolley and Neal--12. Noes
-Beckerdite, Brandon, Byrd, CIapp,
Driskin, Hanson, Morriss, Patton,

adopted.

rs the Party Responsible ?

The Knoxville Chronicle, in the
course of a long editorial, says:
In 1869 the Democratic party came
into power again, and since then has
had unlimited control. We haYe
had Democratic Governors, Demo
cratic Legislatures, with, at no time,
less than a three-fourth's majority,
Democratic Judges and Democratic
counties. On coming into power, one
Of their first acts was to dispose Of
railroad property, in which the State
held an interest amounting to sixteen
millions, for six millions clear loss
Of ten millions. Add this to the
State Bank and the school fund, and
we have some idea Of the cost Of
Democratic rule. We viii not call
attention now TO other counts in the
bill Of Indictment, which We might
reasonably and truthfully present
against Tennessee Democracy.
