The annexed extract, from Dr. Philip Schaff's lecturs on the Sabbath, will in terest many readers "The Constitution of the United States, it is true, does not make mention ex- Kessi , ,- of the existence of God, and per haps it is a matter of regret that it does not. "There is a society in existence labor ing for amendment; to the Constitution ef tips United States so as to insert iu the preainnle a recognition of God as the Al mighty Ruler of nations, and tho Holy Scriptures as the supreme law of the American people. "I will not assume to question the propriety'of such a movement, but I deny that the American Constitution is atheistic. "It is one thing to ignore a thing, and another to oppose it. It is one thing to be silent about a particular thing and an other to deny it. "Now, there is a book in the illible,•the Book of Esther, where the name of God does not occur. Who will say, therefore, that this botk is atheistic? So I say, i that although the Constitution of the 'States is silent upon the ',subject of God and the Ruler of nations, \it is far from intending to deny the great truth: - "The formers of the Constitution de signed to keep it as strictly a legal in. • strument as possible, and to bring noth-. ing into it which might hi any way not .strictly belong to it. But Christianity is incidentally ye cog in the oath of &lice, rind the, subscription to it, Anne DOMitili 1789, and also in the incidental 6 recognition of the Lord's Day, it being excepted from the working days of The, President in signing bills of Congress; ,and then .again in the amendment to 016 Constitution in which religious lib. • ertt „„is ,proclaimed.

The work of renovating the White House, which badly needs a clea4ing and repairing inside after the incessant wear and tear of several years, has already been commenced. There seems 'to have been a general jail delivery before Andrew Johnson left office. Not only were the, most of those implicated in Abraham• Lincoln's assassi nation-pardoned, but all the confiscation cases were dismissed from the docket. It is to be hoped the new Attorn4 General will look into these things.
