Drum Ecclesiastic
if
The decline of real religion us
during the last four years, lias not escaped
the observation of thinkers in other coun
tries. The reverend doctor who edits the
British Quarterly Review has called atten
tion to that painful fact in the following
language :
During the last four years the "dram ec
clesiastic'' has sounded loader than any
other. Christian pastors have taken the
first place among secular politicians, and
the passions which have moved the civil
organizations of the Church in an cfpial
degree. It is easy to see how, in these
circumstances, the ecclesiastical will be al
fected anew by the politician, If the
preacher is to become as much politician
aa divine and preaching is to be transform
ed into a sort of Sunday newspaper—what
next ?
What next askes Doctor Yauglian of
The Quarterly Review ? Tie a>ks the
questions with an "if," it is true ; but then
his proviso represents what is, but too gen
erally, a painful fact. Very many of our
preachers have shown themselves in the
recent conventions of religious bodies of
the country, to be, at least, "as much politi
cians as divines," if, indeed, we may not
go on to affirm that they have shown them
selves to be not at all divines, but on the
contrary, politicians of a most dangerous
class. And in how many cases is it not a
notorious fact that "preaching"' has been
transformed into not only "a sort of Sunday
newspaper," but into an incitement of some
of the worst passions of a social and politi
cal propaganda ? Even at this peaceful
opening of a new year, when the dove of
peace flutters with her olive branch against
the windows of our churches, hundreds of
congregations in the land will witness the
sullying of their proper devotions with the
smouldering embers of those recently ex
tinguished flames of war which are nursed,
alas too generally, in our temples,as though
they were to be forever kept alive like the
holy fires of the Gheber! When, under
•uch circumstance* as these, Dr. Vanghan
of The British Quarterly asks us "what
next ?" we arc bound to answer—if the
churches'of the land do net turn back to
the strict lincoftheir duties of ministering
in .things purely spiritual, that our civil so
itiety will become lured from religion the
-only firm anchorage of law and order. —

CHKEKING.—A Democratic cotcmporary.
in urging the Democracy not to IK- discour
aged because our party was "swallowed
up" in the last election, says: "Remember
the whale swallowed Jonah, Jonah was
beard of aftewards, the whale never."
A Good joke.
The best joke of the season was lately
perpetrated in Baltimore by the Friends.
At a large and respectable meeting of this
denomination a petition was prepared to
be presented to Congress, asking that body
to do something for the Frcedrnen. If this
was done in irony, as most likely the case,
it is the richest thing of the season; but
if done in earnest it was quite cool. "Do
something for the Frcedrnen !" When,
■we would ask, has anything been done for
tke white men i Congress has had almost
its entire time, thus far, taken up with the
"Freedmcn." Congress has given them
bureaus, schools, bounties, land, pensions,
farming implements, and is now trying
bard to give, them the ballot and the right
to control the white man. One thing has
been forgotten, which must be done before
the thiDg is complete—Congress must make
an appropriation to buy a lot of baby jum
per# for the little nigs. We believe this
would be a saving to the "bureau." Do
•'something for the Freedmen." Ifsome
thing be not done for the white man pretty
soon, the negroes will have it ail,and there
will be nothing left for him.
IDRD TO FIND. -It is hard to find an
eulogist for the late President Lincoln.—
Mr. Stanton and Mr. Holt have both refus
ed to deliver the address commemorative
of his life, services and death before the
two houses of Congress on the 22d of Feb.
next Whether they can t do justice to
She subject, or the subject will not do jus
tice to them, is left to conjecture. Is it
possible that these two worthies, so soon
•fler their late master isdead, refuse to do
reverence to his memory ? What base in
gratitude toward the dead President. If
we were allowed to suggest, we could name
ft proper eulogist for Mr. Lincoln. For

The Trial of Jefferoon Davis.
Attorney General Speed has replied to
the request of the Senate to know why
Jefferson Davis has not been put on trial
in a letter which is rather more intelligible
than the bulk ofhis opinions, but which is
still sufficiently muddy Ilis point, as we
understand it, is this: Mr. Davies must
bo tiied in the State and District in whic li
i'is offense is alleged to have been commit
ted. But Chief Justice Chase, in whose
circuit that district lie.*, refuses to hold any
court there, and has not condescended to
state when he will hold one. Mr. Speed
justifies Mr. Chase for this neglect and re
fusal to perform his official duties by stat
ing that, "though active hostilities have
ceased, a state of tear s ill exists in the ter
ritory in rebellion f This will certainly be
news to the mass of readers. If it be true
what a waste oLpowder, thanksgiving and
rhetoric there has been since last April in
rejoicing over the return of peace! llow
miserably have the people been deceived,
not merely by the newspapers, but by the
autTorative proclamations of the I'resident
What blind conclusions have they drawn
from the surrender of Lee and Johnston,
the re-estublishment of the national flag
and the restoration of State Governments
all over the South ! When shall we have
another draft? Why don't Stanton kidnap
a citizen or suppress a newspaper to arouse
us from our drowsy forgetfulness that we
are actually in a state of war ?
Mr. Speed's letter is really hardly wor
thy of discussion. But the conduct of
C hief Justice Chase, for which it seeks to
apologise, deserves the gravest reprehen
sion, and is good ground for the impeach
ment of that officer. It is his business, for
which he is paid, to hold courts in his cir
cuit ur.less he is prevented from so doing
by the actual presence there of force which
is directed to the prevention of justice and
which he is without power to resist. Ev
erybody knows that there is no such im
pediment nor indeed any obstacle of any
kind to his holding court in any portion of
his circuit. Gen. Grant can travel unat
tended from one endjof the South to anotb
er. So can anybody el?e that feels dispos
ed to do so. Mr. Chase will hardly claim
that his importance will put hira in bodily
danger in a country where the leader of
the Northern armies can come and go with
impunity. If he needs force to assist him
in opening and holding court, he can have
as much as he wants placed at his disposal.
If he is suffering from personol fear of as
sassination, he had better resign anil make
place for some jurist of less imagination
and greater pluck, who v\ ill be more asham
ed of the delay of justice thau afraid of a
v isionarv bullet.
tW Edward B. Ivetchum, the forger,
w;is sentenced, on Saturday, in New York
by Recorder LleST;nan, to four years and
six months imprisonment in the State pris
on. A strong parly of influential friends
have already gone to Albany to solicit a
pardon, and it is whispered that the new
year v : .tl not 1c very old before Edward is
himself sgain. The Albany Argus says
that Horace Greeley, George Opdykc. Da
vid Dudley Field, and \N illiain E. Dodge,
were in the city a few days since, to urge
upon Governor Kenton the pardon of young
Ketchum. They were fortified by letters
from Chief Justice Chase and others prom
inent in national politics. After this it will
be no wonder if great crimes should rapid
ly increase and small ones decrease. Ro
gues will n< t now so much endeavor to es
cape detection and tiial as to avoid steal
ing in small quantities. If they can steal
big. it will be all right—sympathy—good
family - respectability—high thoughts—
genius pardon ! But woe to the little
thieves 1 Stealing little is vulgar, but "ap
propriating" half a million or million is
grand! Shoddy has dignified that with a
place at the right baud of "the goddess Loy
ally," With what mathematical precision
the Recorder has ciphered out the degree
of punishment 1 Precisely four years ami
six months!
PRACTICAL APPLICATION or THX DICK
INSON DOCTRINE.— It will be remembered
that we published a statement to the effect
that a negro woman living near Chimbora
zo bad leen delivered of puppies. We
now learn that these animals have tinman
heads and canine Inxlies ; they were origi
nally five in number. One has died, two
have been sold to a Yankee, for exhibition,
for one thousand doliars, and the wretched
woman has refused an offer of five hundred
dollars for the two which remain. The
woman will be sent to the poor house, and
when she is sufficiently recovered, she will
be sent to the penitentiary. Hanging wo'd
be far too slight a punishment for such an
abandoned outcast as this creature must be.
About forty years ago, wlicn pine trees
ware still growing on the north side of
Maine street, where twenty-fifth street now
runs, a negro woman, named Sally Ham,
was the mother of three creatures such as
we have described above, but they all died
soon after their birth.— Richmond Exam

Tbc Republican Party Must Split.
We think, with one of our cotcmporaries j
that the Republican party must soon split
in twain. Even if it eould hang together
on the question that now threatens it with
speedy disruption, it would split up as soon
as that question is disposed of. The old
Tariff issue is showing signs of life and up
on this it will be impossible for the Repub
licans to agree. Those in the Now Eng
land States not satisfied with the enonnous
i
profit they arc making now, will insist up
on raising the duties. Senator Sprague, of
Rhode Island, has already made a move in
that direction in the United Stafes Senate.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania will fol
low their lead, but those of New York and
the Western States will insist upon a re- ■
duction ins.cad of an increase of the Tariff.
There lias already been a Free Trade
League organized in New York. Its lead
ing and most active members are intluen- '
tial Republicans, and its principal organ is
the New York Evenim Post, whose edi- ,
tors may be classed among the fathers of
tht Republican party.
The commercial interests of New York
would be promoted by a reduction of the
duties on imported goods The same is
true of the agricultural interests of the
West. Branches of the Free Trade League
of New \ ork may therefore be expected to
be organized in the west, where they will
supe;sede the "Loyal Leagues" now or
lately in existence. With the Republi
cans of New England and Pennsylvania
struggling for an increase of duties, and
those of New York and the Western Slates
fighting for "free trade."' a peiraanent di
vision of that paity would seem to be alto
gether certain.
On this, as on all other questions, the
great body of the Democratic party happi
ly hold no ex'reme views. They hold,
and have always held, that a Tariff which
will afiord sufficient revenue to defray the
ordinary expenses of an economical ad
ministration ot the government, will also,
if levied with discrimination, afford suffi
cient protection to the American manufac
turer to give him a fair profit on his goods.
s3*' TAKING CAJTE OF THEIR OWN. —
We sometimes get a good ileal of private
information fromoongressional 4 Directories.
The Directory of tf o present congress
makes the following pi. asant exhibit:—A
sou of''Senator Clark, of N. iJ., is door
keeper of the reporters'" gallery; a son of
Senator Cowan is clerk or his father's com.
mittee at SO per day, with nothing to do;
a son of Senator Doolitllc—a son of Sena
tor Ilowarda— son of Senator D:\on-and a
nephew of Senator Foot,are similarly favor
ed with clerkships; while a nephew of Sen
ator Wade stands guard at an entrance to
the Chamber at 1,200 for the session.—
None of these young gentl men ever saw
service in the tented field, which fact, tak
en in connection with the resolution, "That
the Senate do earnestly recommend to the
citizens of the United States the employ
inent of discharged soldiers," et cetera, will
likely create *OlllO surprise at the "cheek"
displayed by that' dignified body."

NATIONAL BANK NOTES. — The Comp
troller of the Currency has proposed the
following rules for the redemption of Na
tional Bank notices :
First—The notes are to be redeemed bv
the banks by which they are respcctivley
issued, and should not be returned to this
office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars or even multiplies of that amount.
Second—Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received,when
presented by the bank that issued them
provided that all the fragments are return
ed and the engraving or signature are not
so far obliterated that it cannot be determ
ined by what bank the notes are issued.
Third—Fragments should be redeemed
bv banks in full when accompanied bv an
affidavit stating the cause and manner cf
mutilation, and that the missing part of the
note is totally destroyed. The good char
acter of the affiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officer before whom the
affidavit is taken.
As some of the National Banks have
been a little crook-d as to receiving mutil
ated notes, the foregoing specific directions
it is hoped may tend to put the public on
their guard against receiving torn and de
faced notes and teacli bank officers what
are their duties in the premises.
Notes of Warning.
Prudent business men in all sections of
the country are alarmed at the signs of the
timea, they fear a commercial revulsion
compared willi which the stoims of 1837
and 1857, were mere summer bteezes. —
The report of the Secretary of tbc Treasu
ry has added to the feaf lie warned the
country of the danger ahead, and as one
means of rendering the calamity less disas
trous, if need of averting it, he urged a re
turn to specie payments by the speediest
possible means, and by a simultaneous re
duction of the paper currency. To make
the suggestions of the Secretary practical,
the Chicago Republican contends that there
must he retrenchment on the part of the
govt-rnment and people, and adds ;
The merchant may, after lie has spent all
his money, keep up appcarauces for a long
time, indeed, as long as he can borrow of
one bank to pay another, but the end is
certain—be must fail. The people of the
United States have not expended all their
means: they have an abundance to meet
their piesent debt and to pay it, if they are
prudent in their expenditure and economi
cal in their habits. If, however, they con
tinue the prodigality which was an inci
dent of the inflation produced by the war;
if they will pursue the extravagance which
have heed adopted during tllfe last five
years; if, instead of paying off the home
debt, they contract an additional foreign
debt, then the day of reckoning will speedi
ly arrive, and will bring with it a terrible
crash.
We repent that the exigencies of the
times demand that there shall he at once
adopted and religiously observed a system
of economical ex|icndituK. public and pri
vate. This may not avert altogether the
financial collapse that threatens us, but it
may do much to lessen its force and reduce
its volume of disaster. Every man should
now put his house in order for the coining
day of settlement, let those in debt econo
mize now while a they can; let thcin as soon
as practicable pay what they owe, and go
in debt no more. Li<t the credit system
as a system, be discontinued as far as prac
ticable, and a man whose affairs arc best
regulated according to t.'iis policy will
have the least to dread, and will suffer less
when the result ,1" our extravagance and
recklessness falls upon the country.

A few days ago the mayor of Spring I
field Illinois, and forty "piominent citizens"
made a carriage pilgrimage to the tomb of
Lincoln, 0.1 the invitation and at the ex
pense of a negro minstrel troupe. The
minstrels performed some "pieces which i
drew forth a speech from the Mayor and a 1
response from the leader of the troupe. ;
The Chicago Times thinks "it must have ;
been mournful to see Bones and the Tam
borine standing in reverent silence before
the tomb, their jokes hushed, and their
thoughts rem te from conundrums and j
double iutendres." It expects that the
proprietor of the learned pig, and the ex
hibitor of the doub'eheaded calf, vjfi next
make a pilgrimage under the mayor's pro
tection, that he hopes they "will meet with
the success which their loyalty and merito
rious ability so richly deserve." "Waxfig

THE THESPIANS! -We approach them with ma
ny misgivings. Their overt owering, to wring fmpu

And deemed themselves of earth the lords.
It is not alone these chaps with their painted, glit

makes the heart of Town Talk quake with fear,-
There is another danger, which makes this, in our
imagination, sink into utter insignificance—the more
piercing, withering glances, shot from the bright
keen eyes of the gentler worshippers of Thespis

words of tenderness and lore. We hesitate. "To

'twiil be better for us to go on fearlessly with our
