Dinner at 12 T I. Speaking at 2P. M
By order of the Committee,
It is alledged that a large number
of negro votes were polled in the late
election ir> Ohio, illegally, of course, and
in sufficient number to wipe out the small
Radical majority which is now claimed in
that State. The matter excites sufficient
altentiou to raise the question of contest
ing the election of General Have", and the
rest of the State ticket, and as the Demo
crats have a majority of the Legislature,
it is quite possible that the election of the
Radical State ticket may be coutested
with a show of success. The presiding
officer of the State Senate, however, whose
duty it will be to declare the result of the
election, will be a Radical, and of course
he will declare for his own ticket. But
the Democrats, or any Democrat, can still
contest the electiou by filing a notice of
sucb intention between tbe sixth and tenth
days after the mbling of the Legisla
ture, and staling the points upon which
the contest is made. It is so certain that
many negroes voted for Ilayes, contrary
to law, that the election of the Radical
ticket will no doubt be contested, and con
sequently a lively time is anticipated.
THE LINCOLN SCANDAL.—The facts are
just these : Judge Davis, Lincoln's admin
istrator, reported that the estate was worth
$75,000. Congress gave Mrs. Lincoln
the President's unexpired year's salary,
arid also gave her 5'2.3.000 besides, the
same as was allowed the 'ate Mrs. Gener
al Hairion. Congressmen Weutworth
pressed Mrs. Lincoln's claim for f>loo,ooo,
but Congress did not think such a gift
)u>tifiable. There are other facts that
ahould tliey see the light, perhaps would
explain Mrs. Lincoln's present xtr iiyhfened
1 circumstances. Among such facts is this,
that a bill for some Si-3.000 for jewelry
purchased by Mrs. Lincoln was presented
to < 'ongress and disallowed, and tbe secrets
|of that committee could divulge most re
| markable items that, through Mrs. Lincoln
! were presented for payment. We hope
these things will be made public, and that
, it also may be known what the forty huge
boxes sent to Chicago from the White
House, after the death of Mr. Lincoln,
contained. Let the country know the
fact that it requires an appropriation of
Sioo,odo to make good the spoliation at
the White House, and let it be proved
who had the benefit of such plundering.—

ON THE BODY POLITIC.'
IMPEACHMENT PLAYKD OCT. —A peti
tion is going round for signatures asking
the fortieth Congress to impeaeh Andrew
Johnson without unnecessary delay. We
rather think that impeachment is knock;d
on the head. The elections on Tuesday
settled it. It is laid out flat on the Radic
al platform, and it makes what the old
crones call "a very purty corpse."
Politics in the Pulpit.
The following article, from the New
York Journal of Commerce , contains very
sensible advice to that large class of our
clergymen who, for several years p*D,
has given more attention to partisan poli
tics than to the principles and duties of
Christianity. The demoralizing effect up
on the churches and the disadvantage to
religion resulting from the course of these
preachers cannot be estimated. It is to
be hoped that the sentiment of the peo
ple, as lately expressed, and as it doubtless
will be continued to be expressed, will
serve to teach these misled leaders in the
canse of religion, their inability to control
(be political opinions of the public, and to
convince them that, hereafter, tbey can
best serve the interests of mankind by
preaching the gospel, pure at d nndefiled
by partisan malignity or sectional preju
dice.
THE PULPIT'S OPPORTUNITY. —Now is
the time for ministers of the gospel to give
up political preaching. We are satisfied
that the majority of those pastors who
have mixed politics with their theology
in the proportions of nine to one for some
years back have done it against their bet
ter judgment. They have yielded •to the
fashions of the times, to the example of
powerful and successful preachers, to the
real (or supposed) irresistablu current of
feeling in their congregations, We have
always held them, as a class, to be above
the sordid aims of politicians. They have
not preached politics for money, nor for
ulgar applause; but because they had
not sufficient moral sfrengtli to resist the
tremendous pressure which was brought to
bar upon them by church conventions and
assemblies, and bv active and influential
occupants of pews. In some instances the
pressure from the pews was not real, but
imaginary. The pastor, observing the
tendency of other churches, sought to an
ticipate it in his own, and with unnecessa
ry precipitation, put himself st the bea 1 of
his flock and led it into politics. Still, as
a general rule, the motive power, when it
did not originate outside of the church,
came from the pews and forced the pastor
to write political addresses under the name
of sermons, and pray for the suceess of a
party more than for the coming of Christ's
kingdom. Their Bible was their text
book—their point of departure, chiefly in
the sense that they departed from it—but
their body of theology was too often taken
from newspaper editorials or from the
platforms of excited public meetings held
during the previous week. Many preach
' ers reflected the varying shades of Radical
sentiment so truthfully that by stepping
I into their churches on Sun Jay a person
could learn the condition of the political
atmosphere as from a barometer, There
was a little garniture of religion in the
j reading of the scriptures (not always se
lected with reference to topics of the day,)
iin the short prayer possibly, and in the
formal benediction beyond any doubt, but
1 these were merely trimmings to the huge
I hot joint of pure politics, at which the
j preacher cut and came again*
This political preaching has been the
I shame and scandal of Christ's church. It
has been the prolific cause of infidelity not
only outside of the church, but within its
pale ; not only in the pews, but in the
pulpit. At first it was a curious novelty,
and pastors found their congregations in
| creased, perhaps a hundred fold. Men
flocked to the political churches as tlrov
i weut to tfye opera, the theatre, or the cir
cus, to be exeited and amused, They
j conld applaud and thev could laugh there
at a very smart political hit, freely and
without rebuke. It was religion made ea
; sy, and, like virtue made easy, there was
j very little of it left when you came to look
for it. Newspapers were used to adver
tise these political sermons in advance, —
Partisan journals published the sermons
: the next day, not omitting the cheers and
laughter where they properly came in,
and flattered the preachers in editorial ar
' ticles. A great deal of the hard work of |
j the campaign was put upon their shoulders
Some of them talked polit'cs not only two
or three times every Sunday, but odd even- ■
1 ings during the week.. They were too will
ing to work, they were too Z'.alous in their
new caue, and they over did it. Satiety
! in the congregation soon followed excess
! in the preacher. The outside attendance
| fell off, many of the pew owners who had
liked the thing while it was new got sick
!ofit at last, and these preacheis finally
found themselves in the condition of men
1 who hail liked the thing while it was new
1 got sick of it at last, and these preachers
| finally found themselves in the condition
of men who having taken a false position,
feel compelled, out of regard to cousisten
! oy, to maintain it at all hazards. In this
1 resolve they have been encouraged anil
sustained by small but active knots of pol
itici:in c , who give the tone to many of our
' chinches. There are clergymen who
I have seen their flocks scattered beyond
! recall, and their churches sohl out or turn
ed into places of amusement, before they
i would consent to retrace their steps to re
! ligion pure and undefiled.
Now is the time for ministers to weed
out politics fiom their religion. The po
litical reaction, of which we see the signs
all around us, is "a protest against po
litical preaching and numerous other er
; rors and fallacies. The reactionary feel
ing aflects all classes of society, in all their
relations. We believe that, if a show of
hands were called for in the churches next
Sunday, a majority of votes would be
found in favor of excluding politics from
the pulpit; or, it the sentiments of the
church members should be
we believe that there would be an almost
general acquiescence in the pastor's deter
mination to eschew politics for the future.
Pastors would be surprised to discover
how cheerfully their people would now
follow their lead ont of the miry paths of
politics back to the ancient trodden ways.
They rau<t, by this time, be satisfied that
it is impossible to get out of Radical poli
tics by going to the end of it—for it has
no end. The possible crotchets of the
Radical mind are infinite. Political preach
ers never can say that their work is done,
and lay off their harness. "Excelsior!" is
still tbe cry, and always will be, of the
frantic agitators who occupy the van of
radical movements. Tbey care nothing
for tbe chnrch, except as it aids tlirm ID
their dangerous ventures. While they
use it they despise it. This fact is made
very clear in the last number of Wendell
Phillips' organ, which says: "Churches
and the clergy are as formerly, for tbe
most part but make-weights or a positive
drag where they should be foremost iD
leading tbe natiou in the light of immuta
ble, fundamental christian principles thro'
its present difficult and dangerous pass."
This is the gratitude which the political
clergy receive from those who have sought
to dictate their style of preaching for a
number of years. How much louger will
ministers of the gospel submit to these
hardest of task-masters ?

I was in Philadelphia when the elec- '

who was in command, reports, that a citi- ;
zen presented himself here with a com
mission from Governor Geary, under the
seal of Pennsylvania, appointing him to
take the votes ot' Pennsylvania soldiers at I
this post. Colonel Howard told him that
he WHS under the impression that 6uch an
election was not legal. But as the man
had a commission from Gov. Geary, he
allowed him to tako the votes. 1 add, on
my own authority, that i have ascertained
that a large proportion of the men voting,
had no vote in the State under any cir
cumstances. It is said only thirty-three
(33) votes were polled, while over a hun
dred (100) were returned. No officers
were concerned one way or the other, in
this election.

THE LINCOLN FUND. —Since Mis. Lin-'

York for sale, to prevent actnal want, the
administrator of President Lincoln's estate (
has published a scedule of the property !
that fell into his hands, making Mrs. Lin- i'
cidii the possessr, including the $25,009 |
received fiom Congress, of SIIO,OUO. The |
fact of her begging donations gives mat- '
ters a queer look. Subtcriptions for her
benefit have been opened by Mr. Brady, t

that if the colored people throughout the j
Union would each contribute five cents, ; <
Mrs. Lincoln might be readily placed be

in Ohio has settled one thing at which the !
people at large —not only the Democtrcy j

will be white , an ! will send a man to rep- j c

will not be a disgrace to her as well as to 1 1

Knowing the plasters to be so useful, I have no
scruples that my sentiments should be known.
