utid was adopted by n subscrvienl ma
jority, if not with llio intent, certain
ly with tlio cflcct to place in the bunds
of llio President power lo command
his own nomination, nnd lo employ
the army, navy nnd itiililia at his sole
discretion, ns a means ol auhservin
bis personal ambilion. When llio sad
experience of llio last Iwo years, so
diaappointing to llio hopes and ejencr-
al coiilideiicu ol llio commit, is con

utterances and rash purposes ol thoso
who control the lYccidcnt's policy, il
is not t-tirprisiiir t lint llio gravesl up

journs without having oven ullettipled

is crushed und impoverished. The
treasury is overflow ii and an excess
ol ' gHIJ.imO.OOU ol'reveiiuo is admitted,
and yet instead of some meastiro of

Nothing Is left to tbo cilinon nr State i
which can any tonercr be called a rlnt.
All is changed into mcro sufferance.'
Our hopes lor reilroso aro in the calm
good sense, and the sober second
thought of the American people We
call upon lliem to bo true lo them
selves and their posterity, and disre
garding party names and minor dif-j
lerences, to insist upon a decentraliza
tion of power, una tho restitution of
federal authority within ilsjiistand
proper limits, leaving to llio Stales j
that control over domestic affairs
w hich is essonlial to their happiness
and tranquility and gooff government.
I'.very thing Hint malicious ingenuity
could suggest has buen dona to irritate
the people ol the Middle and Southern
States. Cross nnd exaggerated churg
es of disorder and violence owe their
origin lo tho mischievous minds of
Jwiliiical managers in tbo Sonute and
louse of Jtepresonlulivcs, to which
the Execulivo bus, wo regret to say,
lent his aid and Uius helped lo inflame
llio popular feeling. In ull this Course
of hostile legislation nnd harsh resent
ment, no word of conciliation, of kind
encouragement, or fraternal fellow
ship, has ever been spoken by the
President or by Congress to the poo
plo of tho Southern States. They
havo been addressed only in the lan
guage of proscription Wo earnestly
onlreat our fellow-citizens iu ull parts
of tho Union to eiiaro no effort to
tii ui n In i ii pcuco and order, to carefully
protect the rights of every cilizen, to
preserve kindly relations among all
men, und to discountenance mid dis
courage any violation of the rights of
any portiun of the people secured
under tho Cunsiilulion, or any ol its
amendments. Lei us, in com lu-ion,
earnestly beg of you no, lo aid the
present utleinpl of Jtadicul urlisans
lo slir up htriio in the luud, lo rorew
the issues of tlio war, lo obstruct the
return of peace and prosperity to the
Southern Klutes, becuuee il is thus
that they seek to divert tho attention
of the country from the con option and
OXlraVagaiiea ill lbir nitmtniitriti
of publ'0 affairs, und the dangerous
und profligate attempts they aro ma
king towards tho re election of a cen
trali.ed military government. lathe

the Radical administrations have cx
ponded 1,200,00(1,000 on ordinary

trilling with tho intelligence of the

To the curious in Ribliral literature
and the cosmogony by Moses, who
wns learned in ull wisdom of ancient
Eetyp1! l" noxt question and the
answer by a learned and somewhat
oceentric preacher will not be unin
teresting matter. Urologists, unli
rjunrliinj and scientists havo brought
to light ninny facts tending to show
tho existence of our race upon tho
earlh at very rrmolo periods. We
think Iho land of Nod may have been
peopled before Adam wus born, and
this consistently, without yielding the
substantial and divine totichings of ti c
grent Jowiuh teacher who lead the
Israelites out of I'gypt nnd out of the
hnuso of bondage. Moses may be
rightly understood as writing his Cos
inulotry, from ihe histories and leircnds
as lie learned them, without pretend
ing to write In tout respect from revo
lution. Deeember K, 1870.

A haaaea op thr Lkhors.
There is no record of Cain's court
ship or wedding. However interest
ing lo tlio purties themselves, it is of
no interest lo us, except upon the
supposition that tho account in Gene
sis of tho creation of Adam was de
signed to exclude the supposition that
nny other pcoplo bad been created
If Adam and Kve wero the sole pro
genitors of the race, then Cain and
Abel, il is i. ferred must have married
their own sisters a connection which
is shockirg lo the sensibilities of Ihe
wholo rnco ut n subsequent stage, of
development.
lint many of tho fathers of tho
church denied that Adam and Eve,
and their children were tbo only peo
ple on the gloho. They ullirnied that
iho text in Uencsis very plainly im
plies that the earth wus ulrei.dy wide
ly populated ; for, when God declared
that Cain should bo driven out from
his family and made a vagabond on
the enrtb, Cain deprecated tho sen
tence and pleaded "that every one
that findelh mo shall" slay me." It
was plainly not bis family connections
llint be feared, for ho desired not to be
driven out from them. It was the
people that ho should meet when a
wanderer on llio earth. Who, then
wero tho people w hom Cain feared lo
meet when lie shotilJ nuvo gone lorlli
into tho earth I
It is also reasoned by Scholars thut
Ihe most naturiil method of soothing
his fears, would havo been lo tell him,
"Thero nro no other people on thu
enrlli, except your father's children."
Instciid of that tho Lord is represen
ted ns falling in wild Cain's i?n;rcs-
sion respecting the population of the
world, that lie "set a murk upon
Cuin, lest uny Uniting him should slay
him," ((icn. i: Hull further, it
is said that Cuin, separating himself
tmm bis kindred, went to the land ol
rs nil, cast of hdom, "und built a city,
and called llio name of tho city after
tho name of bis son Knm h." Tlio
fiilhcrs very pertinently nsked : where
tho ikv. ,Io coino from that ived !
.' I
tint
in lliis city ?
That would lie an extraordinary
state of things which woulJ have en
abled Cain lo fill up a city, however
small, wirli hi, own children ! And
it is inferred, therefore, that there
were oilier people in the land besides
Iho immediate posterity of Adam.
If Adam wus the progenitor , Cuin
musl have married his sister. If there
wero oilier lilies of people, other
Adams, us it were, then Cain must
have married into another slock.
We do not express uny judgment in
tho matter. Wo give ottr correspond
ent the opinions thai havo been held
in the early days of the church, with
Ihe additional still cinent, thut utmost
all modern Christian writers have re
jecletl lliem.
lint tho origin ol llio races una in
our day assumed nn important scion
lilio development j nnd us very many
ablo scientists Imhl to a variety ol
original raeo slocks, it is interesting
to know thut those views huvo been
held before, und iiron supposed Uibli
cul grounds.
lint aro thoro no moro questions
about Cuin? Does nobody wish lo
know what was the mark which tho
Lord affixed lo Cuin? I Iocs no one
wish to know how Cuin died f CJues
lions must bo scares to leave such
points untouched. If Cain is lo ho
raised, ho surely ought lo oo uioroiigo

A Bold Assassination.
Dark and bloody wus the deed ! A
feeling of horror thrilled through tho
bourts of the muny witocsses who
stood by and saw a young and happy
bridegroom shot down, und without
uny apparent cause, by the bund of
tbe sneaking assassin. A merry and
joyous company bud assembled last
evening in the parlor ol the St. Nich
olas Hotel to do honor lo the union ol
two loving hearts the marriage, ol
Mr. J. C. Foster, lute of Bowling
Green, Ky., lo Miss Hose IJird, of this
city. Kuther Donnelly bad just per
formed tbo marriage ceremony. Tbe
bride was in the parlor ut tended by a
bovy of beauties und merry young
maidens. The proud bridegroom hud
but just passed oat to tbe saloon to
receive tho pledges nnd congratula
tions of bis friends, when there en '
torodan uninvited guest, a Mr. Thomas
Smith, of Independence, who at once
accosted Foster. Very few words
passed between them. A bystander
overheard the following conversation,
the meaning whereof is still shrouded
in mystery. Foster was standing at
the corner of the bar when Smith said,
"Voti do not mean it." "I do."
Then prepare yourself." A I the
sumo time ho produced a navy revol
ver and fired into Foster. Turnini;
around, without a word of explana
tion, the assassin walked out of the
saloon, putting up bis pistol as lie
walked couly across the street past
the court house. Turning between
the Market Ilouso and the court house
he mounted his horse and fled out into
tho darkness of the night, unmolested,
uiipurstied. Tho bridegroom stagger
ed back Hark us he received Ihe shot,
und fell upon a window bench. Modi
cul attendanco was soon upon the
sccno, and the wounded man curried
up stairs, ilis cries were continuous.
11 is only excluinanutions being : "Tom
Smith, why did you murder mo?"
"Uli, why huvo you shot mo down
upon Ibis my wedding?" "1 who
wus your best friend and lovod you !
Ob, Tain, why buve you murdered
mo?" A hasty examination of the
wound by Drs. Milligan, Tuylor, and
oilier surgeons whoso names wo were
unublc lo learn, showed thut the bullet
hud passed through the right hand
noil bud filtered llin abdoineu near the
liroiu, und had glanced obliquely down
winds, lodging iihoul three inches from
where it hud entered. The opinion of
the surgeons was Hint the wound was
dangerous, but not necessarily fatal.
The scene in the parlor was beyond
description, i lie tuir and elegantly
attired bride, stricken down in her
grief und honor, was surrounded by
lur bridesmaids und relatives. Here
and there were fair girla lying pros
trutc and insensible from fright. Sobs
und whispers were Ihe only sounds to
be beard. All was sadness and grief
where joy und glee had reigned
supreme not twenty minutes beloro.
Tom Kniiili is now under indictment
for robbing Slone Si Thornton's Hunk
in lli", on information luruinlicd by
Jim Crow Child. Smith has been a
refugee from justice, iu Cunndii, for
about two years, having but recently

THE CHRISTIAN STATESMAN.
This piou phase of public lifts tiow
common to Iho National Capitol, has
not been sufficiently studied. It is a
sweet study; we may Say, without .
fear of exaggeration, that it i a highly
interesting study.
As the naturalist put a loathsome
insect upon the point of needhi
under the microscopo, and, crowding
dow n his disgust, proceeds lo dissect
and describe for the benefit of in un
kind, ao we catch the Christian States
man and proceed to diagnose one of
the ugliest discuses lo which the body
politio Is subjected.
Religion in publio man charita
ble, unostentatious, and steadfast, aud
consistent in daily act with former
profession, is a gentle though infre
quent element iu ovary great char
acter. . -
Time was in the innocent past when
bad ollieiuls formed the exception, and
ufler being convicted of wrong-doing
retired to llio shades of private life.

the exception, cud tho faithless oiuny
Haunt ll uliroud without secrecy. Ut
this sort ia ourshum Christian States

place ho says, "in the name ot Uo'Jj

He utlends temperance meeting
and takes tlio pledge. lie tukee the
pledge on all conceivable occasions.
:en lie can itut away from his leiris-
lative stealings bo rushes to a temper
ance meeting and takes the pledge,
that be may set lucrehy n good ex
ample to young men. When he is
no' taking tho pledge or administer
in tho pledge, bo altonds prayer
meeting und addresses the throne of
Grace. The amount of work done iu
this way by the ohum Christian SluVes
man is amazing.
Of bis birth und earlier youth little
is known. He first attracted publie
attenlion as a froedom-shneker. lie
shrieked for freedom with great effect.
Ho was always rssdy to give ono
other and -further shriek for freedom,
be the same more or less. Shrieking
was a good stock in trude, and in time
he made it valualjlo. There fell, once
upon a timo, a great famine upon tic
laud in which the freedom hrickcr
lived, and the hearts of far off tnea
were moved to compassion, and a great
store of provisions was sent to the
starving people. For their butter dis
tribution tbo freedom tdirieker, our
pious politician, was selected as ngent
Among other stores thero wns a great
quantity of beans. Now your beans
is not only a wholesome vegetable,
but in New England il is extremely
popular. Bukod pork and beans is
llio national dish. On Sunday the
parsons count Ihoir congregation by
the bushels of boans they address.
Now, when the beans arrived, there
was a great demand for lliem from Ihe
hungry Yankees. But your pious
agent instead of giving them out lo
Ihe poor starving people, did put
lliem in store, und sold them for
eah ; and, as the vegetable cost hi in
nothing, great profits did accrue.
Tlio fact, however, reached thokuowl
edge of the people, and great was
their indignation so great, Indeed,
thut ordinary profanity would not do
the subject justice, und great shoot
of "beans" went up, that yet continues
in certain parts, when the bowels of
the Yankee are moved to wrath at
the loss of his vegetable production.
With money, however, one ean elo
much. With active pioly and an un.
sworving devotion to cold water on
can do more. Tho late war proved a
special providence to tho lieany phi
lanthropist and politician. He did not
rush into the ranks and Arc great guns
wildly al the foe. Not he; that wa
risking too valuable a life. He re
mained at home and fought the enemy
in tho roar. He fousrht the enemy by
administering the oath of allegiance.
lie administered the oath ot allegi

some oaths before breakfast. liotween
that and dinner he administered aa
imiueiis quantity. Alter dinner ho
continued the pious business, and at
any time of the day, when he felt at a
loss for iramodiato occupation, be
rushed in somewhere and administered

Ho it observed, however, that in thi
promiscuous and multitudinous system
of swearing, the pimisold pump never
