JOSEPH Cook is, in many respects, gree

JOSEPH Cook is, in many respects, great
man. As defender of the true faith we
honor him. He has put infdeiity on the
defensive in Boston and elsewhere and has
nobly and boldly met and routed the Iheo-
dore Park er School aud flashed new and true
lipbt into other shades and shadows of inh-
deity. But Joseph Cook, has of late, made
a great fool of himself. He has put himself
on level with lying, unprincpied detam-
els and smrched his once lair hands by
handling aud hurting the filthy mud OF the
enemies of the South against ii people who
never did him any harm and who are as far
above the great scholar and his Boston ap-
plaudiug audience, in all that constitutes
true manhood and real worth as the eagle
il above the tad pole. Joseph Cook is CIV
ing his annual noon day course of lectures
in Boston His theme this season Is The
New Theology" He prefaces bis lectures
BY long talkon Current Events" He has
paid mis- respects to the South of late and said
things about her people and the South as
VIII lie that will cause every true Southern
man and woman to withdraw, forever, their
respect and confidence from the great de-
fender Of Bible Christianity. The following
extract from IL Boston correspondent to one
oi tue cost widely circulated religious jour
nais OF hi, country explains the waning
power of the once great man. 1t says:
"J.--,,h COX std draws great crowds to
the Temple cvs ~ Monday noon, but fails to
h ,1d tu,ln to . end The unity is wholly
st by The 'n':ngrei mixture of prelude,
answers to twelve questions, and lecture,
and when the second stage of the perform.
ance is over, the power of attention
aud of digestion with many hearers is ex
hausted, and an exodus from the hall be-
gins, which soreIy tries the patience of those
who remain The lecture is the least salts
factory part of the entertainment, and the
course threatens to be failure in buttress-
ing orthodoxy, and weakening the power Of
the New Theology"
Abuse ofthe South he found to be drawing
card in Boston, and the great christian To-
gician descended to the trick and became a
voluntary retailer Of the lies and SANDER of
Malone and such against Virginia and the
South. His Boston audience come, andas soon
as the lecturer gets through with his first
course of slime and mud against the South
the exodus begins. That's all they want to
hear. He graties them. We denounce a
man as unworthy Of confidence who would
prostitute his name and fame and subject to
such an uncharitable and base purpose.

GENERAL MAHoNE's home organ says
General Malone aud Capt. Wise continue
to live in Virginia because they are not
afraid of men who are afraid to attempt 10
kill any other than unarmed negroes" But
the General must have been afraid, else be
would not have gone armed to the polls at

canvass than he was during the war. The

TREASURE FOUND IN A FIELD.--An Island
Shoals (Ga) special says Samuel Nc
Daniel, a young farmer, was yesterday in
one of his fields blowing. The pillow caught
in some obstruction. Urging the mule, he
found that the pillow had caught in the
handle OF ive-gallon jug, which he pulled
out Of the ground. The jug had a cork
stopper, sealed with sealing wax, and a
piece of tin doubled over it, with wire
fastened round il, making it perfectly So
cure. Mcdaniel was anxious to know what
was in the Jug, so taking the heel-screw of
his pillow he twisted of the wire. This en-
abed him to take out the cork He then
placed the jug on a stump, and, applying
his lips tasted the best brandy he had
ever sampled. So captivated was he that
he drank several times, and at last, the
liquor overcoming him, ne slipped down
asleep at the foot Of the stump. Failing to
come home to dinner, his mother went out
TO the field after him when he was about
waking up. Together they gave the jug
another examinations when Mrs. McDan-
iel's attention was attracted to its great
weight. An examination showed the pres
ence of fifteen hundred fve.dollar gold
pieces, making total of 81, 500. The mys.
terry was cleared up in singular manner.
McDaniels grandfather was captain in
the Florida war 1t was known that he
was wealthy before be left home. On news
of his death in one of the battles with the
Indians his heirs could fad no trace of his
money. The fact that years after his only
grandson and heir should nave found his
fortune is singular Incident. The finding
of this jug leads to the hope that there may
be others, and the blowing of that field is
watched with interest

If CONSTITUTIONS can be Ignored, disre-
garded or broken in one respect, they can
be in Others Therefore, Is there is no war
rant in the State constitution for appropri-
ating money for the relief of the sufferers
by the Pocahontas mine disaster, the Vir-
ginia Senate was right in defeating the bill
for that purpose. The sufferers are worthy
objects of charity. and appeal to the active
sympathies of all who are able to help them:
but the Legislature has no authority to APP
propriate money for any such cause. The
case of Mrs. Mickleham was also a worthy
one, but IS the bill for her relief was uncon.
stitutional Congress would have been der
elict in its duty if it had allowed that bill
to pass Fortunately for the sufferers at
Pooahontas, as stated in special dispatch
in yesterdays GAZETTE, the owners of the
mine thank the Legislature for its sympa-
thy and generous intention, but say that
State aid is not required, and that they will
supply all the necessary assistance.

gered him, when he said: "If peculator
