ple,' make most of their reputation by saying OF
doing things regarded by ordinary Christians as
sacrilegions rather than by any good works.
Any man who will get up in the name of religion
and speak blasphemy or ridicule the regular
ministers of the gospel along with "spiderlegged
dudes" can get a following of weak-minded peo-
pie big enough to fill any skating rink. George
o. Barnes. who is back in Kentucky. has not
been known heretofore for such Sam Jonessh
methods, but reporter in Lexington quotes
him saying that Ingersoil is good man, do
ing an excellent work. and that the church peo-
pie of Lexington would cruelty the Savior if he
were to visit their i.own These expressions,
meant to reach the public through the newspa-
pers. are for the purpose of shocking the people,
and thereby attracting their attention. Mr.
Barnes was kindly and favorably received here
once and still has many friends who would re-
greet to see him descend to the modern tricks of
"evangellsts" to keep himself from dropping out
of notice.

Mr. MCMuTLEN, the Democratic nominee

art, appreciated the act of the President in
turning out of Office colored man like Fred

The President ''stole" enough of time to
acknowledge T. McCants Stewards favor, to
modestly disclaim any special credit for be-

act twill not be regarded as in any way def
ant to the Senate or as an attempt to appear
heroic" These amiable hopes will hardly be
realized, since the reappointment of Matthews
was nothing if not a defiance of the Ssnate
and violation of the plain letter of the law,
and since no one, save perhaps the CORE
spondent in question, has thought Of heroism

if T. McCants Stewart is gratifed, and the

COLONEL CHEvEs, of Kentucky and form
erly Of the confederate army, is assisting Cen
eral Fisk, Prohibition candidate for Governor
of New Jersey, to stump that State for the
benefit Of the Democratic party. When the
two gentlemen meet upon the platform they
assure each other of their distinguished con-
sideration, and, hand in hand, explain to the
audience that the temperance question is WHIP
ing out sectional hates and jealousies, and
that Union men and confederates who once
fought to shed each others blood, are low
filed with burning desire to struggle I'M
selfshly for the common good. Inasmuch as
the Democracy processes to desire, above all
things, that sectional lines shall be wiped out,
it is to be feared that this recognition of in
temperance as an extinguishing sponge may
have an effect not looked for by the eminent
prohibition advocates If drinking conduces,
though indirectly, to peace between the North
and South, then drinking must have its good
points; and if love and good will are slow in
coming, what so natural as that the jealous
Democratic brethren should say, Come, let
us drink together some more, and hasten the
happy day" Fisk, Cheves 6 Co. are doubt
less eminent warriors, but they should be care
full how they handle the unaccustomed weapon
known as the boomerang.
