This was the only accusation brought
against him. No sensible man believed
that there was nny peculailon whatever on
his part; but the outcry was loud. and
finally President LINCOLN deemed 1t adj
visablc to give way to 1t. Hence CAMEnoN's

Tho outcry against these contracts was

Gus. The new Secretary Of War. Mr.. STAN
TON. investigated every contract with the
aid OF Assistant Secretary WATSON, q man
most competent for such u duty; and out Of

scinded. and those were Of little Importance.

A Clerical Dynalnitcr.

There Is evidence that In sermon de-
livercd ON Sunday Inst. the Rev. SAMUEL II.
VIRGIN OF tho Pilgrim Congregational
Church In this city not only preached
against Governor Hill, but went SO far as
to propose TINT the Governor should be
murdered. The voice OF God" he de-
clared. speaking through the public con-
science. demands that he be taken to the
prcctpices OF the world and flung into the
abyss of eternity"
Simply stated. this means that Mr.. VIR-
GIN desires and advises the assassination
OF Governor Hill.
This political clergyman appears to lack
nothing but courage to make linn equal
to tho wretch who threw the bomb designed
to fling into the abyss OF eternity man
who had refused him u million.
The law provides for q clerical murderer
tho same punishment as for any other;
but there Is something supremely shocking
In the frenzied language OF assassination
upon the lips Of n Christian minister.
