THE RELIGIOUS PRESS. The Episcopal Recorder of the 17th has a good-tempered but decided article on the late Pastoral of Bishop Potter, against af filiation with other denominations. After referring to the fact that the Bishop him- Self by his own confession was in error in permitting Greek Priests to officiate in Trinity Church, the article concludes thus:— The Bishop, it is true, has repented. He turns his censures against himself. But he can scarcely be surprised that his exhortations should have little weight with those who think that his repentance needs to be re pented of, and who consider that to be their duty which he regards to be their transgres sion. The truth is, this is no case of violated law.. The Bishop makes no other charge than that it is a case in which that myth ical individual, "an unbiassed person," would conclude that there had been the vio lation of the spirit and intent of the law. It is the conflict of two theological systems which are found within the Church. In the one order, and that order Episcopacy, is the central andi life-giving power. In the other, truth, and that truth, a free justification by living faith in Christ—or rather, Christ him self, so apprehended by faith—is the source of all spiritual life. In the one, grace and life are regarded as coming to the soul through sacredotal and sacramental agencies. In the other, life is believed to come directly from the Holy Spirit ; and the Church, the ministry, and the sacraments, are the chosen, honored, and divinely appointed agencies to bring the soul directly, through the truth, to the source of all holy life and power. Hence, in the one system truth, and in the other order, is regarded as primary, essential, and supreme. Hence the affinities of the one are towards Churches where Episcopacy, and ritualism, and sacramentalism prevail, even though the truth, as it is in Jesus, be grossly corrupted ; because the life is believed to be dependent on the order and not on the truth. The affinities of the other are* towards Churches where the truth, as it is in Jesus, is preserved ; even though Episcopacy be lost, because the life is believed to be depen dent upon the truth and not upon the order. Now it is these two- tendencies in the Church that Bishop Potter's pastoral really contem plates ; and his letter is an attempt to intro duce Episcopal authority into what is essen tially a question of theology, and not of discipline. Authority has, as yet, no place here, and can have no other operation than to give new activity to these tendencies and systems. We hold no sanguine theories of organic union with other Churches, we do not desire it with Churches that are not Episcopally organized ; but we prefer to cul tivate a spirit of co-operation and full recog nition and heart communion with orthodox bodies, which hold to the truth as it is in Jesus, rather than to seek union or commu nion with Churches that smother life under forms, and which the salt of Episcopacy has not been able to save from corruption. "If the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted ?" The Independent's leader of the 15th in dignantly repels' the "insinuation" of the Evangelist that the Boston council is the first step towards a permanent representa tive boy of Congregationalists. There must be some grounds for this "insinua- roug i it is cons lowing admission : It is not to be denied that there has been, at different times, especially among the clergy, a desire for the establishment of some super visit% power having authority to exercise " review and control" over the churches. But, thanks to the tenacity of the churches, educated to stand up for their original liber ties, no such scheme has succeeded, and the churches retain their God given rights, as fully as they were enjoyed in the days of the apostles. . . . There was a time when consociation exercised a coercive power, by having the civil power of the State to back it up. But now that the State no longer tries to "run the churches," consociation has no more power than any other council, that is, the power of opinion. The same paper contains an interesting account of the funeral services observed in Berlin, in honor of President Lincoln. They took place May 2d, in the new and spacious Dorothea Church, and were at tended by a vast crowd, multitudes being unable to get inside of the church. The King was represented by his adjutant, Major-General von Boyen ; Bismark, the Prime Minister, was also present. Dr. Krummacher, the celebrated court-preacher at Potsdam, delivered an address, which is thus spoken of by the correspondent : Like a very Boanerges he poured forth his righteous indignation against a system which could generate deeds such as have been wrought by the rebels during their four years of warfare. His words came gushing forth like a torrent, that would fain tear away every remnant of that hideous system that debases man into a chattel, and transforms the human heart into the heart of a wild beast. Nor did the speaker fail to recognize that divine hand that chastens in love, and that beneficent Providence that has brought four millions of slaves out from the land of bondage, that has guided our nation on through its terrible struggle, across the red sea of blood, through which it must needs 'ass, through all those bitter experiences in the Wilderness," and now, when it has triumphed over its enemies, its leader is per mitted but to view the "promised land . '—a land that, as in a vision, he had seen, and of which he had prophesied long years before, a land from North to South, from East to West, united and free. Wherefore this mys terious Providence? Is it that one, possess ing the strong and the stern hand of a Joshua, "may go in and possess the land ?" Is the voice of the Lord to be now heard, as of old, saying, "Thou shalt make - no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them.?" Never has Berlin—never has Europe— been so deeply stirred by the death of mon arch or statesman. The blow that removed President Lincoln from the midst of his people was a blow at which the whole world shuddered and recoiled. Every item of intel ligence pertaining to his life—to its wonderful development and to the cause of human rights, which he so nobly repsesented, seal ing his testimony thereto with his blood have been grasped after, and read with avidity. 'Rev. Dr. Field, of the Evangelist, after trying the usual round of summer resorts, settles down upon his old home in Stock bridge, Mass., where he has provided him self with a summer residence. Whereupon he thus discourses in the columns of the above paper: I suppose it is one sign that we are slowly jogging on in life, that when a man gets past forty, he inclines more and more to his early home. Like a poor dove that has strayed away, he conies fluttering back, and after sailing round and round, at length settles down on the old family nest. Every year I have made a pilgrimage to the old home, and every time it has seemed dearer than before. Even when I have followed my kindred to the grave, still their presence has seemed to hover over the spot, and the very ground was holy. Stiao xrf tO DOMESTIC. The struggle for the adoption of the new Constitution in Missouri is over. The official vote is not in, but the returns are sufficient to remove all apprehension of its defeat. The importance of this triumph to the future character and prosperity of the State may be estimated by the following synopsis of some of its most important provisions : It declares Missouri a Free State forever. It establishes the equality of all men before the law. It prohibits legislation interfering with the personal rights of men on account of their color. It declares that Missouri shall ever remain a member of the American Union. It excludes from the.ballot-box and from office, traitors, rebels, rebel sympa thizers, guerrilla marauders, bushwhackers, and their eiders and abettors. In like man ner it excludes Knights of the Golden,,Circle, Sons of Liberty and 0. A. K's. In like manner excludes those who enrolled them selves as disloyal,. or as Southern sympa thizers to avoid militia duty. It provides for an tient registration of voters, thereby securing the exclusion of illegal voters. It removes the rule requiring treason to be proved by at least two witnesses, and leaves it to be proved as any other crime. It invites immigration from Europe, by extending the elective franchise to those persons of foreign birth who have more than one year before an election, declared their intention, accord ing to law, to become citizens of the United States. It forbids private, local and speCial legislation, which for thirty years has cursed the State, and brings the State under a uni form system of general laws. It prohibits lot teries. It forbids the Legislature making compensation for emancipated slaves. It stops the creation of corporations by special acts, with enormous and dangerous powers, and requires all corporations to be formed under general laws. It prohibits the crea tion' renewal or extension of the charter of any bank of issue. It protects. the interests of the people by imposing upon stockholders individual liability for the debts of corpora tions. It secures an efficient system of com mon schools for the free education of the children of the State. It gives increased facilities for its own amendment, and allows the people a direct vote upon every amend ment proposed. Such are its provisions. While we congratulate those true men of this splendid State, who by patient continuance, have obtained this great improvement in its political and civil condition, : we much doubt whether they will find their account in giving , to foreigners mostly uneducated, and crea tures of the Romishipriesthood, so facile a road to the polls. And we are sure they will yet rue the day that; they left out from the constituency another class of men who are vastly.more fit for the solemn trust of citizen ship. VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. A Virginia Legislature, under the Union • ..,1 0 4, N „ fa y t i ee .:. , ,• 6 I • exan, ria Legislature, elected by a mere fraction of the State, and which expires, by its constitutional limitation, with the present month. It is numerically a small affair, summoned by Governor Pierpont to a special session, for the purpose of removing an obstacle out of the road to State reconstruction. The document known as the Alexandria Con stitution is now the only organic law of the State. One clause of this Constitu tion disqualifies from voting every white male citizen of the State who, since Jan uary 1, 1864, has "voluntarily given aid or assistance, in any way, to those in rebel lion against the Government of the United States, for the purpose of promoting the same." Singularly enough, this Constitu tion provides that it may be amended by a mere legislative enactment, and it is for the purpose, of removing this disability that the Governor has called this extra session. In his Message, sent in on the 20th ultimo, he says :—" The most important question which demands immediate consideration is that of the restoration of the political rights to those who have heretofore enjoyed them. If the test of loyalty prescribed by the amended State Constitution is enforced in the election and qualification of officers, it would render organization impracticable in most of the counties of the State. It is folly, he says, to suppose that a State can be governed under a republican form of government, when a large portion of the State—nineteen-twen tieths of the people—are disfrancbished and cannot hold omce. But fortunately, by the terms of the Constitution, the General As sembly has control of this subject." He fur ther says:—" The subject of negro suffrage is exciting great interest at present all over the country. But as neitheir you nor I have control over this subject, it will of course not be a subject of your deliberations. I would recommend the passage of an act to legalize the marriage of persons of color." At our last accounts, the Legislature had pretty much unanimously passed the pro posed repeal through the legislative forms. DEATH OF ADMIRAL DIIPONT This event,. which occurred at the La Pierre House in this city, on the 23d instant, is to the country, the loss of another of its able and heroic defenders during the late struggle. The decisive victory at Port Royal, S. C., November 7, 1861, was perhaps the most brilliant of his achievements. He had been, for nearly fifty years a gallant naval officer. His home was in the neighboring State of Delaware, where the Dupont family, of Hugenot stock, has long been distinguish ed. He was a commuicant and active mem ber in the Episcopal Church.

It was stated that the Emperor of Austria had agreed to reinstate Maximilian in all his rights in Austria, in the event of his return ing from Mexico. The French Government have given orders. that the subscription to the medal of Mr. Lincoln shall meet with no hindrance. RUSSIA.—The sentiments of the Russian journals towards America, in view of our triumph and our afflictions, are not merely courteous, but warmly sympathetic. The St. Petersburgh Journal of April 29th, says :—" The blow which has just struck down President -Lincoln, will be felt throughout the whole world, and nowhere will it be felt more keenly than , in Russia. The sentiments which unite the two nations are so profound, that one cannot suffer with out the sympathy.of the other. These sen timents have more than once found their expression, in the official comniVnication,s of the Imperial Cabinet, and theiWill'not , now be wanting in. this sorrowful hour. . . . Our sympathy was particularly directed to the eminent personage, President Lincoln. Nowhere had a sincerer interest followed his political career. Nowhere had more justice been rendered to the qualities which he had exhibited in this formidable crisis, in which the immovable firmness of his convictions and the constancy of his faith in the cause of the American Union, made him always equal to every trial, and brought about the final suc cess which he has ust sealed with his blood. " We are persuaded that the American peo ple will show themselves, as they have al ways shown themselves, equal to their destiny. " We can affirm that nowhere will there be sincerer wishes than in Russia, that the work in which he fell a martyr will be accomplished by the reconciliation of, the two members of the American Confederation, and by the re turn of peace, which is the best pledge of its power and of its prosperity." The St. Petersburgh News says :—" This act was only wanting in order to end with a most disgusting crime a cause originated in treasop, and marked by the most inhuman fratricide. In their thirst fetvengeancec the enemies of the Union hesitated not to com mit a deed which conclusively disgraces the cause." On the fall of Richmond,the News says : "Richmond is ours!" This is the shout which, in thundering tones, reaches through out the United States—an event answering to the dearest wishes and hopes of the Ame rican people. The capture of Richmond has caused a burst of universal and triumphant joy ; which is more or less contagious, and which has been communicated to all adher ents of the North in Europe. "We Russians, who were such sincere friends of the Union during the whole period of this Homeric struggle, cannot now remain indif-. ferent to the brilliant issue of a conflict so rich in results. "The great North American Union, whose • • • durin e la t •- jeotet is er of. Russia. Its own power and wealth, its freedom from the com plications of Fairopean politics, its relations to the double-faced policy of the Government of Western. Europe—in fine, the absence of all causes for its interests conflicting with those of Russia, constrain us to see in it a great Power arrayed, not against us, but on our side. In the general political life of the world, its successes, to a certain degree, are also our successes, for it is the same .European Powers that are hostile to it and to us. In the events of our political life for the past few years, we may find a consderable resemblance to thoss taking place in the United States. The abolition of serfdom with us, answers to the abolition of slavery in the United States; our conflict with the Polish nobility to the conflict of the North with the South; and both here 'and there these great events are bringing about a radical change in the entire social structure. We desire not to prophesy about the future—we speak only of the pre sent. We do not close our eyes to the differ ence between our history and that of the United States. We speak only of analogies in the present between the Governments, be fore both of whom, without any doubt, a great future is in waiting. "Returning to American affairs, it is impos sible to withhold justice from the man who has just been chosen for the second Presiden tial term. "To his honor, his patience and firmness, the United States are indebted for the accom plishment of their task in the career of pro gress. Such men as he are priceless in simi lar crises. Lincoln is not a military man, and he wisely took upon himself no military role. In the choice of Generals, he submitted him self to the teaching of military events and to the voice of the people." Advices from Brownsville, Texas, of June 15, say, that information as been received at the headquarters of General Mejia, in Mata,moras, that an engagement lately took place between the Imperialist's and Negrete's Liberal command, in which the latter was totally defeated, losing seven hundred killed and two thousand taken prisoners, together with arms and ammunition. Negrete is re ported to be himself a prisoner. Camallio Blanco was reported to have been captured and shot. Other stories respecting Mexico turn the dark side of the cloud towards the usurpa tion. We give the following as we find it, although no facts are given to clinch itan important omission in times when specula tion is generally sanguine in proportion as it is hasty. It is the New York Times, and dated New Orleans, June 20:—" The latest information from Mexico says the empire is waning fast fast. The .Emperor Maximilian is a mere puppet in the hands of Marshal Bazaine. The Empress displays more firm ness and decision of the character than her husband, and exerts great control over him; she is really Empress of Mexico. The foreign and Mexican troops are bordering on disor ganization. The French only are reliable, and look to Bazaine for orders. The Mexi cans will rebel on the first opportunity." The same letter has the following—reliable we doubt not :—" Prominent influential rebels, as they call themselves, and Who are denominated by the Mexicans, American- Mexican residents,' who have sought that country as an asylum, and for protection from Yankee rule, declare that they will give physical support to the empire—that they are determined never to live under the flag from which they fled. The object of making their home in Mexico is peace and stability. They will be to Mexico what they were to the Confederacy. The whole tenor of the news places the American-Mexican in the position of the Wandering Jew, without home or resting-place." The Manchester Courier states that there are indications from almost every quarter that FOREIGN.
