A spocial dispateh to Tue Tuipuxe, recolved at a lato hour, avers that Ponn and Kollogg have corao to an agroomont by which a now alection shall bo hold in Louislana, tho Governmont, in the moantime, to dovolye upon the Prosident ot tho Heuato, e Gep. Jobu . Farnsworlh bns boon nominated for Congross by tho Independent-Roform party of the Fourth linois District, Expressiovs of confidence in his ability to dofoat Hurlbut by & liandsomo majority are froquent, aud come from oxcollont authority, Thio opinlon of an eld Re- publican, who was present ab tnp Convention yostorday, sud whoso 1mprozsions aro given In & Jotter publishiod elsowhero, is especinlly dosory- ing of considoration. ‘Thoro bay boon a good deal of nonsenss writ- ton on tho Ropublican wido about tho yonsons which induced tho Fodoral Government to in- stall Kellogg 88 Goveror of Loulsisna. The yonunor of it way very gimple, ‘The manngersof tho party, taking o biot from olden tunes, ad- vised Judgo Durell: *If Kollogg is Governor, support bim ; if Lo s not Govornor, support him for the party's sake; Lowover, to sure aud support Lim.” An oxtraordimary act of elemeucy by Preaident Graut f8 roportod this morming. He has por- doned tho ex-Presidont ¢ & bauk fo Now York, who was upder indiciment for ombezzloment, and waa to bavo been tried moxt October. Wo aro curious to know tho molives which influ- enced the Progident in this instance. Thoy must be powerful 1 order to justify tho interruption of tho cpirao of justice iugo cavalier o fashion. fTho Prosident, of course, was informed that tho percon uuder indictment was guilty, olse ho vould bave waited for the rosult of tho trial be- foro Interposing the Bxecutivo flat, PR i Denpite tho geuoral cry from tho Republican snd Democratic mansgors to *re-olock overy body,"” no lesa than five of the Illinois memberas o Congreas bavo boen cut off by the peoplo be- foro reachivg the polls, Thus, in the Bixth District, the Ropublicans rofused to nominato Mr. Jobn B. Hawley, a really good Roprosenta- tivo; in the Ninth District, though thero was no seeming opposition to Mr. Barroro, when the Conveution met he was dofeated. In tho Tenth District, Mr. Ray's further services woro also disponsod with, Theso wero all Republi- cans. In the Eloventh District, Mr. Kuapp found, when tho Convontion met, that his ad- miring Demacratio constituonts did not want him any more, and, 80 univorsal was the objec- tion to Mr, Robinson, in tho Twelfth District, on account of * back-pay," that ho was not even mentioned for renomiustion, These five gon- tlomen were, wo boliovo, all inflatiouists. Samuel J. Tilden was nomiuated for Governor of New York yesterdsy by the Domacratio Con- veontion at Syracuse. Hois not a candidate por- fectly satinfactory Lo the Liberal party. But, g part of tho tickot was conceded to tho Liborals, and the Liboral delegates wore troatod with cour- teay and respct, ib is altogotbor probablo that tho Convention to bo held on Sopt. 29 will ratify the nomination, Mr, Tilden lea strong mau by xenson of tho part ho boro in tha overthrow of M'weed and his confederatos, Tho ouly objection which the Now York press bas thus far found to urgo againet him is that bia uncompromising sititude a9 s Neformer has alicnated, boyoud pope of reconciliation, all tho freomen and bals Jot-stuflera who atill rogard the Twoed adminis- tration with venoration avd affection. It would ot be eurprising it & majority of the votors in New York shonld give Mr. Tildon the preferenco * ovor Gov. Dix at tho noxt eloction, The Chicago produce markets wero goner~ ally atrong yestorday, but chiofly in s speculativo way. Mess pork was modorately sotlve aund fimer, cloaing at §24.50 por brl cash, and $18.256 sollor tho year, Lard was fo good demand and o shndo firmor, closlng 8t $15.00 por 100 Ibs cash, and $11.80@11,85 scllor tho year.

Corn was more activo, and advanced 2@234o, closing &t 783f0 cash or sollor tho month, and 77){o for October. Oata wore more nctive, and J@3¢o higher, closiug &t 40¢ eanly, 483{o for tho mouth, and 473{0 for Oatober, Bye was qulst and srongor, s 85@85)§0 Darley tombor, aud 9o for October, Hogs wore notivo, ond @100 lowor § salon at £5,60@8.00, Cattlo woro dull and woak, Sheop were ateady. Tho old Milwaukeo & Pralric du Chion’ Rail- rond was oxompted from tho oporatlon of tha Injunction latoly ordorod to issto by tho Wiseon~ sin Bupronio Court, beennso it was alloged to huvo obtained ite chartor from tho Territorlal Loglslatura. Tu glving tho deoision, tho Court nannouncod that if tho fact shiould prove to bo othorwlso thia road algo would boe enjoinod to oboy tho Pottar low. Qur correnpondent in Mil- sraukee learns that the Rallrond Commissionern hava mado an investigation, nnd dlscoverad that tho oiarter way sctually obtained in 1819, ono yoar after tho admission of Wisconsin as a Stato. On this fact boing mnde known to Judge Dixan, ho will\ probably take caro that no favar {s shown, Tho Univorsalist Convention in New York yestordny adopted resolutions recognizing tho good gexrvices of women in tho Qhurch, and do- clarlog b to bo expediont that no porson shall bo excluded from any churoh ofico on sccount of sox. Women will Loreattor ba aligible to all officos In tho gift of tho Couvontion. Thero Ia pocullar proprioly In tio sdoption of such resolntions s theso by tho Universalist denomiunation, For many years women hayo boon licensed ag preachors in this Church, who Rov. Olvmpla Drown belug a notablo examplo; and tho sesult hns boou a genownl rovivicaclon of tho occlosinatical body. Tho Charch Unlverenl, as all tho othor donomi- nations plosso to ealt thomsolvos, shonld loas 10 mo in Imitating 8o worthy & precedont. In tho Church, if anywhore, wowan's work aud iu- fluonco I8 as offectivo as man's, and her oppor- tunities should bo na great, Tho onrly covvection of Oou. Bubler and Sepator Carponter with the fortuncs of Gov. Kallogg, which is broadly slluded to in our dis- patehos this moruning, will probably bo » new {hing o many intimato friends of theso states- mon. Tho fact that Carpontor and Bublor once datonded Gov. Kellogg before tho United Stotes Buprems. Court wan doubt- loss woll koown &t tho time, but it has oscaped goneralattention in the more recent dis- cusglons of tho Louislaua queation. Everybody ought pow to admit that Honator Carpentor has had ozcollont opportunition of Joaruing tho facts, and Judging on which sidejustice inclinos. "The tersibic fudictmonts of tho Kollogg Adminls- tratlon, delivorod by him in tho Inst two aossions of Congress, wil gain additional weight by theso now dlsclosures, Evidently ho was not in Kolloge's pay when Lo mado thase speoches. Whothor ho spoke becanso he was not in Kollogg's pay, or was not in Kallogg's pay because hio spoke, are questions tao solemn for hasty considuration, Gov, McEnery’s protest against the occupa- tion of tho Btate buildings in Now Orleans by | Gen, Emory is calm aud dignifled in manner, and judicial in toue. It distinetly declaros that it has at mo timo boon tho intontion of the Citizous' party to rouist the Toederal authority, and then advances to n consideration of the Jegal nspeots of tho case. Prosident Grant's proclamation was dirccted to porsons in reboll- ion agaiust tho lawful Gavernmeut of Loufsi- sna, It allowed tbem five days to lay down theilr arms and return to their ordinary pur~ suits. Gov. AMcEnery shows that at tho timo this proclamntion was issued thero was no Government in Louisiaba ox- copt tho one of which bo is tho head, and uo persons in robellion ngainst that Goveroment. As » piece of Apccial pleading this may do very well, but it will undoubtedly be swopt asido by tho Gonerul Govornment. Tho claims of Gov. MoEnory Yo recognition dorive their force from ovonta far mora respectable than those of tho Tast fow days. Tho valoablo part of tho protost 1o Gen, Eimory is that which givos the rationale of tho lals uprising, It is oxplained to have beon mertly an attempt to sccure passcssion, fn order that Gen, Grant might no longer bave sn oxcuso for uphiolding Kellogg. THE PEESIDENT'S EMBARRASSMENT, Tho Louisiana case is o otriking illustration of the dangerous consoquences of any departure from the plain-writton commandments and pre- cepts of tho Constitution. There can bo no vio~ Yonco sgainst that instrument which does not produce disorders of the most flagrant charaotor, and thoso tonding to change tho whole charac- ter of our Governmont from one of Lilorty rapulatod by Law to one of despotism tompored by assassination, Tho Prosidont of tho United Btates and Lis advisors, ofMoial and political, mado tho firat error whon they sont orders to Now Orleavs Lo uto Foderal traops to place Kol logg and bis associates in office in Louisiona, Thoy Xkuew as well as overy ono now knows that Judge Durell, of the United States Court, bad no jurlediotion in detormining who stiould canvaes tho clection reburns of tho Stata, norwho should composo tho Leglslatura of the Stato, and that hoLad no juriadiction to forbid tho mesting of {bo Logialaturo, Thore was not a lawyor in tho Judiciary Committoe of the Unitod Btatos Sou- ate who did not denownce his orders a8 wsurpa- tions, and who did not declsro thom, and all chat was dono undor them, fllegal and vold. What was dono undor them? Duroll forbade tho Logistaturo, declared by the Governor fo !; olealod, from mooting; ho then deolaved other Leglalature was logally elec;od, orders are odmitted by overybody to hay' ‘- séil, vold; nevostholess, tho Loglulature created by this ordor removed the Governor from ofilco, sud declared another penson to be Governor, and tho Prosidont of the United States sanctioned and onforcod this groat violation of law and jus- tico, which has now produced bloodshoed, and roquiros snother fnterposition of his power, un- dor olroumstancos whoro overy stop be takos is bosot with dilllculties, and whoro tho taking of no step at all s porhaps bosos with groator difl- cultfes than auy othor, Having onco violsted tho Constitation and ovory prineiplo of justice, the Presidont now finds himselt controllod by the dsugerous law bo las mado for himself, When ho accoptod Attornoy-Gonoral Williams® partissn opinion, and substituted it for tho plain languago of the Constitution, Lo propased tho pitfall into whick ho has stumbled. Wo think ho is now in the most embarragsing position he Lsa ever boen placed in aluca ha bocamo Presidont. To re- atoro Ketlogg by military fores s to mortally oftend his new friouds in the Sonth, and to wound the public cause of justice (n tho Noxth, for whatevor moy bosald of the revolutionary precedent dot in Louisiana, thoro ls o, pretty general conviotion that substantial justico is on tho sidoof tho MoEnory Govornment, Lo estabs 1ish & military governmont, which might ba tho most fesalble thing to do, aud tho most astlataciory fo the people of lmumann,‘ offectually aud irrogularly ss it hns boon supor- soded by tho rovolutionsts, To dp nothing at all fa to admit that sl tho provions stops tsken by himaolf inve boen unlawful, tyrannieal, and unjuat, and to give room snd invitation for other Biatos to rovolutiomzo in tho same way. Itis possiblo, in a military polnt of viow, to rolnstato Kollogg. Tho State-Ifouse, Amonal, and othior tato bulldings, until yostordsy hold by tho Moknery foraes, aro alrondy in posscasion of the United Btatos troops, Thoro was no reshul~ auce to tho chango boyond o protost in logal form. Gov. McEnory had proviously notitled tho Umited Statos auchorities that ho had no in. tontion of rosisting tho Federsl Govornment, aud the militin wore accordingly, upon tho ro- quiest of Gon. Kmory, ordored to dieporso. A corporal and two mon would bo a forco suf- ficlont to rostoro Qov. Kollogg, 1t Gon. Grang should give tho word.

MR. BEECHZR'S BAD THEOLOGY. Tho Interior, o roligious nowspaper published in this city, is & wonderful journal, It is tho proporty of Mr. Oyrus H. McCormick, who I8 eminent alik o8 & philanthropist, ss s scute and sound theologlan, and a8 a mnn of sovoro morals, It {8 cdited by Prof. Patton, whoso Inbors in dofonso of the fuith are’ well known and fully appreciated in thls community, It counts among ita contributors men Whoso 8s- sumed fawilinrily with the noture and plave ot the Buprome Boing is sometbing quite sur- prising. . Wo hiad the ploasura recautly of Iintroducing to our rondors ono of theso contributory who, movod by compassion for tho iguorance of his follows, procooded to onlighten them upon the subjoct of tho Trinity. Tho way in which beo handled this hitherto mystorious doctrine was astonishing to bohold. Ilo spoko as one haviug autbority and uotas tho Beribos. Nor did he fail to mako it manifost that his confidonco was tho confidouco not of oftonsive dogmatism or of baundless solf-concolt, but of complote aud absoluto knowlodgo, And whon & man kunows auy subjoct through aud through, and with ab- solute exbaustiveneas aud oxactness as this writer knowa tho Triuity, it ia quite proper for him to spoal with asaurauce. To do g0 is only to illustrato whet John Honry Nowman says o man oy ofton illustrate, that * egotsm is modosty.'" And vow there comes an oditorisl writer in the Interior of this weok who knows ss thoroughly tho plans avd designs of Providonco ss tho former wnter kuows the nature of thoe Trinity. o takos tho Lrooklyn scandal a9 his toxt, and procoods to toll us, as ono to whom tho scoret lins boon impartod, procisely what tho Divioe Governor of tho world meons by it. e assumes Mr. Beechier’s guill, and Lo wsuros us that the Almighty Timeoll Lns undortaken to show the world, by this scaudal, that Mr. Booccher's thoology {8 false, aud that ita necossary fruit is just wuckh lewd practicos as those with which Mr, Bawoher s ocharged. Cotlon Mathor, in bis day, stigmstized such peactices in very plali langusgo, avd ho nitribut~ ed them, not to liberal thoologicsl notions, but to tho possossion of the Dovil. But our modera intorpretor of Divino Providence doos not re- sorbto any such shallow explaations. 1t has boon rovealed to him that Boechor's morals aro corrupt, becauso bis theology fa bad. Now, we dere not dony an interprotation so authoritative asthis. Wo seo, too, as tho suthor doubtless intonded men to soo, wWhat a dreadful fato it foreshadowa for Prof. Bwing snd all other trombling horatics like himsolf, It is also mado cloar to us that 5 nfan’s only escapo from actual sin s to believe with all his might in original gin, and that Lo can keop fres from personal, guilt only by meckly scospting impuled guilt, All this wo 8oe, and, seoing, much admire, Bat atill we have some porplexitics. How is it that such steadfast adborents of a sound theology as tho Itov. John 8. Glendonning are talon poesossion of by Cottou Mather's dovil ? How was it that, many yoars ago, the Rov. Dr. Hamilton, of Mobilo, Ala., becamo notorionsly guilty of 8 namoless crimo ? Ho waa very sound in his thoology. 8o wag the Rev. M. L. P, Thompson. Indeod, tho names ave both numer- ous and fomiliur of thoso who have been ox- tromoly orthodox in boliof and extromely ras- cally in practice. And, to go back to a far earlior day, what shall bo 8sid of David the King of Torscl ? Did ho, liko thia Rrooklyn proncher, hold to an ‘‘ionovating snd destructive Gos- pol 2" Did ho boliove in an ** Evangel of 1ib- eralism ?* It would scom s if ho must have dono 80, olao how conld ke have gono astray ? Upon & recent Sundsy tho Rev. Jaboz Lynno, of Skunk River, Ia, romomstrated with some ‘boys who wero deseorating tho Babbath by bathe ing 1n that odoriferons streamy, - While thus em- ployed ho was struck by ligh.tning and fostantly killed. Nono of tho boys viero struck by light- ning ond nono of them wyro drowned,, Isit possiblo that the lucklcss preachor was the only voreon in tho crowd whose theology was bad ? Will not this intorproter of! Providonco who gets sud gives sn Inferior viow of things hasten to tollus ? THE . 8. In view of tho ponular enthusissm and ex~ citoment which has bean aroused by tho atate- inonta which have beon mada public concorning P.m gold depaaits ot t'ac Black Hills vegion, and hio prospoct that thoro will bo a tremondous ush of fortuno-hunters to that locality as econ a8 thorois uo d@aungew > be apprehionded from Indisn boatility, the proliminary ofiiclal roporta will bo watchod with wpeolal intorost, Four of theso havo now boen published : 1. Tho roport of Capt. Ludlow, Calef Engiucor. 2and 8. Tho roporta of Goorgo Bird Grinnell on Fos- alla and Zoology, 4. Tho veport of Prof. Winchioll on the Miueral Produsts, All of theso reports, although brief, sre unusually Intorosting and contribute much valuablo inform:ation concerning this compara~ tively unknown region. After msking s dotails o oxhibit of t1io route,*hoth on tho way thither and returning, Capt. Ludlow presonts soma gans eral facts coricorning this reglon, It ig admira- bly adapted to sottloment, sbundant in timber, graas, flowilsgy streams, and has springs of pure cold wator 11lmost overywhore, Iho'soil ia ssid to be of wemdsrful fortility, as was shown by the profusion, of grase, fowers, and small fruls, ‘Tha olim ato givea evidence of bolng cooler 1 summor: and more modersts In wintor than tho plaing; *‘not subjoct so drought, for tho nigh'ily dows are vory hoavy: mot lUsbla to ©X0 agsive auow-fall, for, in narrow valleys con- ta'ming u largo orack, o {ndications of overflow ©ould bo doteated," Limestone, sandatono, grat~ {te, and othor building stones are vorysbundsnt, somo of tho lmestoves balng fine enough for marbled and handsomely solored. The mber is mainly rod plas and spruce of lasge sizo. Gamo of all kinda is plonty, and the streams are wall stooked with flsh, whilo on tho pralrics sn- telope are tound in 1arge numbors. Wr. Grinnell, who was soting for Prof, Marah, of Yalo Collsge, roporta that the sxamination for forslls was nocossarily incomploto, owing to tho rapid progross of the expeditlon, but ho in satiafied that the localition traveled aro mnot rich fin thom. Tho principal foanila found were crotacoons sholls, bivalvod, gastoropods, and copbalopods, with s fow tor- tiary romsine, such na turtlo-bones and bones of mommals of & mammoth sizo. During tho jour- noy ho obsorved thirty spoclos of mammals, 120 spociea of birds, and s fow reptilos. Door aro very abundaut, 100 boing killed in ono day by the commond. Elk are algo numorous, Bovoral boara wore sscured, and indleatious of mountain ehoop were found, Ganio birds aro woll ropro- sonted by sovoral apooios of goeso and ducks, and by two species of grouse, tho ehgrp-tailed and ruffed. * Altogothor, the Black Hills offer to tho sportsman an abundauce and vatlety of gamo, and, H oponed to the white man, will bo 08 much osteemed ng & huntivg-ground by him 88 thoy aro now by tho Indiau,” From tho popular point of view, the raport of Prof. Wincholl will be most eagerly looked for oa throwing somo light upon thoe reports of gold mado by miders aud somo of the military ofiicora attached to tho oxpedition, We extract from it, therefore, the following paragraph, whion tovches tho point on which peonle wish {nformation : In reapect Lo the economical products of the rocks of tho Black Hills, tha following minorsls oxist in considorable quantities, snd will ultimately be fonnd vory useful: Gypsum, fn uulimited quantities; varie- gated morble from tho esrboniferaus Hmesto oro in the southeastern portton of tho il covite; talcosa alate, usotul for whetstones, Thers may bofound also otlier products of the graullo racks § indeed, tho miners Wt sccompanted tho oxpodition roport the finding of gold and sllver in somo of tho gulchos in the gouthonstern portion of tho Hills, though I saw'none of the gold, nor did I see any auryferous quartz, 1 hace taken the gold_ reporta with a larae grain of Woancs, o , . Tho Willa have s delightful climnle, pure water, abundance of iuo timbor, aud a suficlont quantity of arablo 1and to sus- tafn o thiok population, In & rocent {uterviow with the oditor of the 86, Paul Pioneer, Prof, Winchell oxprossed him- solf ntill moro emphatically. Ho eaid ho not only did not see auy gold in tha Black Hills, nor wag any brought to him for oxaminstion, Somo brought whet they eupposed was gold, butit turncd out to bo micn scales stained with rust, which gives thom sn sppoaranco of gold. A vory fmportant fact is contained also in the fol- lowiug statement msde by Prof. Wincholl, which thoss who havo the gold-mania should seriously considor : Yo was led to the bollef thatthe reports of gold ‘woro groundless from another reston, viz,: thut the chisracter of tho men who talked up he oxpedition, urglug tho Governinent to explore the Black Hills, would lead any ono to mistrust tholr statements, “Theso men wero miners aud adventurors who profess to Lo practical miuers, but who Lavo slways livad ou and profited by excltement, They wera atock-Jobbers, who probably own extiuct claima now in differout paris of the country, and whio wishod to profit out of ibla expedition, Ha did notsay thet Gon, Custor or the military authoritics Lave beon influcnced by theso men, Thoy may hiave bean practicsl misers, but thoy were also practical schomars. Tho roporters no- companylug tho expodition dorived all thelr informas tion concerning tho roported gold discoveries from thess nien, and 80 did Gen, Ouster. No ono but theso men protended to hiave takeu out any gold, or to Dbuve scen any. It would hiave Lieen very easy for them, with the view of raising this oxcitoment, to have takon with \hem & quanlity of gold duet and then washed 1¢ {n thetr pans, o would niot sy that they diil 2o, but tbat they might bavo done 5o, aud, Indeed, tho posei- Dilities for so dolag woro so great that he thought ita good reason for distrusting thoir atatomonts, TIn addition to this testimony, it may bo stated. that Prof. Donsldson, Iate of tho Minnesots 8tato Univorsity, who was with tho oxpodition, oxpresses bimself as in perfest agroomont with Prot, Wincholl on the gold question. Theso aro facts from oflicial sourcos which should mako the gold-onthusisats atop and seri- ously consider boforo it is too Iate. Thore can bo no doubt that the Black Hilla offor moat un- uaual inducementa to permanent sottlers who shall go thero with the idea of dovoloping o new end rich region. At the same time thero socms to bo tho best of roasonsto donbt whothor therois gold onough thero to ropny mining for it, Thero is ovory liability that thoso who leava profitablo busiuess or romunerative labor for tho Black Hills, oxpecting to bring nuggots of gold baok with thom, or to get rich in a short time, will be doomed to disappointment. The wealth of the Dlack Hills reglon, so far as prosent develap- monta are concerned, lios In its eoil, ita climate, {ts fortility, its timber, andits marblea and alstes. COLORADO, Thero {s & vory painful stats of thjugs in Col- orado. Wo fear that when tho Territory has ‘boen properly garrigonod, thero will be no troops loft for Louisiana and the Indian country. Tho Pueblo Chieftain (Ropublican) remarka that thoro may be “war in the wigwam,” and that “gomobody may posalbly be scalped,” if MeCools, the Ropublican Governor, does not tala oaro.

This question {s boing discussed with considorablo warmth in ministerial olrclos, aa woll ag among the laymen. An ** Old Pastor® has poluted out tn ono of tho city papors, very vigorously snd forcibly, somo of tho tempta- tons attending theso visitstions and tho ovils orising from them. Ila communications and the countor-communjoations growing out’ of thom Beom to have atirred up tho Mothodist ministors at thoir Association moating on AMone day ovoning ‘wat, avd the disoussion botwoon mombors, slthuugh & vory onc-sided one, wos gratitylng from tho spirit of inno. conco which porvaded it. All of thom wore agreed that thoy must come to tho rescus of thoir time-honorod privilogo of looking after tho apiritual condition of thelr flocka aud onjoy- Ing tho sacial amenitios snd littlo table-comfarts which are concomitants of tho spiritual duty, and which make it agreoablo as well as impera- tivo, Thoy wero all agreed that they would con- tinuo tho practico, notwithatandiug ndverse com- nlont. Tho amusing featuro of tho discussion Mes In tha fuck that thoro wag o conflict of opin- fonas to the tomptations of pastoral visits, Some of thom could not understand what wag mennt by it Somo had never boen tempted, and others, knowing what tho risks woro, wera willlng to incur them and leave tho rosults in tho Lands of the Lord. _ Drs, Jutkion and Peck scomed to bo the only ones who had a realizing viow of tueso tompta- tions, and cantionod tho brathren against bolng too strong on the social mido and too wesk on tho roligious. 'This bits very noar tho contro of the mark, If the brethron had read attoutively tho dotails of cortain pastoral vielta mado in Brooklyn, and the very romarksble corresponil- onco which grow out of thuso visits, thero would ‘have boon no doubt in thelr minds as to the real oaturo avd extont of these temptations, Then, by putticg thoss tamptations in the ono ecalo and the fuot that thoy themsolves are only hu~ man in the other, they might havo gauged them- golvea and ascortained their compurative sbility to withstand temptation whon it confronts thom. As to the baro fact of tho pas- toral visits made to the family as a shoplierd of souls, to minister to splritnal wants, and to porform cortain sacrod officos like thoso of marringo or of conductivg fuporals, thora cortainly s no objection. And yot thero can bo na doubt that thoso visitations ehould bo mado with caution, sud that it would bo far bet- tor for the ministor to recoiva s hint that the visltation was nocessary than to make it without invitation, Tho fasct that Christ visited tho houge of Martla and Mary withaut reproach, ss Dr. MeKown ssys, docs not furnish & precedont for tho modorn miufster, bocause Christ was diviue and tho minster is human; becauso Clrist could always put tomptation bohind him and tho ministor canuot always, as has boon many times shown, It should also bo borno in mind that pastoral visitation, liko earmons, {8 o vory old custom, growing out of nocessities, many of which do not now os- ist, Thero was a timo when tho miaister was the only source of jnformstion and consoiation. Thoao sourocs, howover, bave boan groatly mul- tiplied, and aro now so numerous that it is hard- ly neceseary for a winister to make tho conven- tional visit excopt upon express fovitation, In fact, thoso of our clergymon who aro in chargo of largo metropolitan churclios havo almost en- tiroly abandogod tho practico, or at loast makg, only an awvnual visit, and othors, it scoms, aro B0 prudent as to tako their wives with them. As, howover, the Mothodwst clorgymon soom dotormined to continuo the practjco, and as many of them do not seom to understand tho tomptationa which sttach to theso vismts, it may bo sawell to romind them what they are, The ‘pastoral visit should not be of sush & chaxactor 2s to nocessitate oo intimato and almoat daily correspondence with but opo woman in the flook ; and that correspondonco should not be of such & naturo a8 to make it unsafo to writo whom the ministor's wife is at home, The pastoral visit sliould not induce a dosire to step down and out. It should not produce hypockondria or onves of gloom. It should not bo eo destruce tive that the minister sighs in yaln fo re- bulld what has boon shattored, It should not be mo froguent or prolonged that the woman's husband would Lave boon & bottor man than tho minister if hie hnd been in his placo. It should not consign tho minister to thoraggod edge of romorso or any othor ragged edge. Itshould not make him bound sud ro- bound, It should not make him humble himsolf bofora tho womsn's husband as boforo his God. It should not nocessitato a mutual friend. It should not have any apposrances that will givo rigo to o lawenit. Theso srosome of tho tomp- tations which have beon shown to grow out of pastoral visitatlons, and if tho Mothodist minis- tors havo decided to continue them and do not renlly know, ag thoy ssy, what the tompiations aro, wo suggeat the abova 88 rgak- thoy would do well to avold. ‘HORSEWHIPPING A PRINCE, Wo have iad sovoral instances of lato of ths domooratle tondoncles of what wo hava beon Ploased to regard aa tho aristocratio and “offata monarohies of tho 01d World, Tuo summary punishmony of the nophow of the Czar of Russla for squandering his mothor's Jewols upon nutrolling sctross i8 & caso in point.
