Dr. Cheever delivered a discoume last even- ited the subject “The Inalienable Right of Celorea oriental Citizens to Vote Under the Constitution, in al) “Mhe States,” taking for his text the 25th chapter of Matthew, 45th verse:—‘‘Then shall he answer them, ssy- ‘tag, Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to ene,of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” He enid ‘Shere ought to be mo distinction of human rights or privi- Jege by color of the skin.

They are ready to come in with blacs under their feet, since some members of Congress hve atthe pains to explain to them that the first ac- of the amendment is neutralized by the secod, that the second gives the whites he power over the blacks, the power to luce the blacks to a state of serfdom and to kep ‘them forever in that state. As soon as they learn tat their objections to the amendment are obviated md they consent, especially as the section obnoxious to themselves, and in some cases suspending ther rkht ‘of voting, are made repealable at the will of Congnss, while the section giving them the right of distnn- chising the blacks is not repealable, they really thought ‘Chat the amendment was intended to give suffrage tothe megroce 2 % 5 F He 2 5 3 i z 5 ‘ vanent government, tiey ‘withdraw their objections. and they are ready to come in. Meantime, the amendment being passed—that is, the oonetitutional ee of the whites to degrade the loyal ‘Diacks into being admitted—it is propose! to color and race; and if they do this excluded are to be shutout trom the ba- @e of representation. But, in addition to this, the rebel ‘States will have the right, at any time, to alter theirown constitutions, and the government cannot interfere, even Mf they resume their old laws, excluding the race from the right to vote; for the nation has made the right tPexciude the blacks from the basis of representation n of the valid State constitutions, ¢ rebels are given the right to trample on the blacks by the federal constitution. Having come into the Union by agreeing, in their state constitutions, to give the blacks ‘the right to vote, they can then, agreeably to the second section of the amendment, alter their constitutions ‘and forbid the biacks from voting, and this proceeding ‘wilt be adjudged by the United States Supreme Court to be constitutional: for by the con:titutional amendment the pation promises to exclude from the basis of repre- sentation those whom the rebel States exclude for other eanses than rebellion and crime. WHAT THE REEL STATES ARE DOING WITH THE BLACKS. ‘The rebel States are themselves preparing for the juncture. Justice to the colored race is denied and is being rendered impossible. They are sold inte slave jm Maryland; they are whipped into slavery in Ni Carotina; they are permitted to be enslaved by the con- sutational amendment. It cannot be denied that the taking away of the right to vote is their practical enslavement; and having permitted it to be taken away the constitution, how can Congress restore it by law ? learn that there is w in North Carolina pro- viding that if persons are publicly whipped they be deprived of the right to vote. Acting wpon this law the whites in that State providing against the possibility of the blac ever voting by whipping thom. This practice bas been on on such a scale at Raleigh that crowds gatl every day at the Court House to seo the interesting spec- ‘tacle of negroes being whipped. The same practice, it ie affirmed, bas been introduced into many of the coun- try towns of the State. This is obviously the mode adopted to ovade the proposed amendment to the State constitution giving universal suffrage. The form of a public whipping can be easily gone throngh with with ‘every necro in the State, as two lashes would be enough ‘to take the vote out of him, and it might be easily pro- ‘vided that not only the said negro whipped but all his descendants likewise shall forev. rt be exeiuded from the ‘bacia of representation. This would be, in fact, bat car. s7ing out the constgutional amendment, as already, pro- and ratified, ‘that if any State shail deprive the negroes of the right to vote for other causes than rebel- Bon and crime, the United States government will, in ite farm and as a consequence, expe! them from the basis of Fepresentation.” It is not necessary to whip the negroes for rebellion and crime, but simply to go through the form of whipping them, withous woy crime being com- mitiec——whipping them for their past loyalty, in compli- amvewith the provision that vo whipped person shai) ever vor, WHAT CONGRESS OUGHT TO Do. Now the question is whether we can, as the authors of ‘hie unjust oud ucbasing amendment, think to compen- mate for the injastice by providing a new bill 8f reeon- strection—an enabling aci—io enabie loyal men in the vebel States to form governments and to put these gov. -ernments into loyal lends, so that they might protect ehemselves. Can Congress do this, and make it sore, if they attempt to enforce the smendme: Can Congress powibly make an act of uviversal suffrage binding on ‘the States after having civeu those es the right by ‘the amendment of disfranchising whatever classes they Please, with the promise or guarantee of exctuding all 80 dis(rancbised from the basis of representa. ? Being #0 excluded constitutionally, how can they ‘Be brought back’ How cam these States pe compelled to-bring them back, if the States alter their own consti- ‘tutions to meet the emergency ’ Congress will already hhave paged one enabling act if they pass the amend- ment—if Mr. Seward is permitted to anuonnce the amendment as passed, and a part of the constitution to | ‘enable disioyal and rebellious men to form governments, {tm rebel states, in robe! hands, to keep down the loyal ‘Diacks under them. That is im essence the very enabling mot of the constiintional amendment.

The sermon was listened to with great attention by a had assembled for the purpose of hearing addresses by the missionary bishops of Nebraska and Colorado, After yesterday was the anniversary, the Right Reverend Bishop Clarkson made some interesting statemonts in regard to the missionary claims and requirements of his diocese, comprising the Territories of Nebraska and Dakota, which, he said, was five times larger than the State of New York, and with all this vast area of terri- tory, and @ numerous and ever increasing population. contained bat five Episcqpal churches. The le of Ne he said, are peor, and though the diocese consists of a large tract of fine country still it could not boast of the immense auriferous wealth of its sister Ter- ritory, Colorado; and it was forthe purpose of asking aid in this direction that he had visited this city, to en- deavor to raise an amount sufficient for the erection of four more churches for Nebraska and one for Dakota.

Dr. ‘This was the subject of a lecture delivered last evening im the church of St, Charles Borromeo, Sidney piace, Brooklyn, by Rev. Dr. O'Connor, S$. J., formerly bishop of Pittsburg. Although the price of admission was $1, the church was crowded to repletion long before the time-appointed for the commencement of the services. The feverend lecturer spoke for about an hour anda half, during the whole of which time he engrossed the undivided attention of a large and most fashionable con- gregation. The burden of his discourse was that cere- monial was means used in every condition of life to express the inner feelings of our nature. Love, joy, hate and ali other emotions were given utterance not by mere words alone, but by certain ceremonies and signs which oftentimes exprees our feelings more strongly than they could be expressed by words. He then dilated on the necessity of having outward forms for public worship in general, and dwelt on the beauty, the antiquity and the sense absorbing nature of the cere- monies of the Catholic Church. All of these, he said, had @ meaning attached to them, which in some particu- lat way expressed the belief of the faithful in tue various mysteries of religion, and all of them were to the Catholic, in ry condition, full ef life and vigor. losed with the benediction of the Dering the evening Donizetti's vespers were elfectively rendered by the choir. The Rev. Dr. Mars! the Excise Law. Last evening the Rev. Dr. Marsh delivered, at’ the Soath Congregational church, Brooklyn, a sermon on the Excise law. His text was the 5th verse of the 13th chapter of Romans: ‘‘ Wherefore ye must needs be sub- ject, not only for wrath, but for conscience sake.’ After a few preliminary remarks the subject for the ovening was opened. There is human law which conflicts with the law of God and spreads woe and calamity through- out the land, There are those who are opposed to all law—who reject the Gospel and live only for the gratif- cation of their own passions; but, by the blessing of God, we have legislation for the suppression of intoxi- catine drinks, The Maine Nquor law proved in 1855 the people bad confidence in it. It was of incalculable ben- efit, bat was set aside by the Supreme Court. Ine ob- servance of the Sabbath in New York and Brooklyn has proved a failure in the suppression of sin, pauperism and crime, The reverend gentleman then referred to the immeare number of hquor saloons in the two cities, two-thirds of whieh only are licensed. These shoul Dring into the treasury of the State $1,000,000, The Sundays of the two months last year that the Excise law was in force were milleniums. All the saloons were closed on thove days, and the sales during the week days were greatly red: Last year there were 97,486 ar- reste fordrankenness and crimes committed by persons under its infinence. If the law had been enforced this number would probably bave been reduced 50,000, Less than one-half the number of arrests were made during the sabbaths of the two months in 1868 than in the same months ot the year previous. The Excise law was deelared unconstitutional by an inferior court, Thirty- five million dollars are expended yearly in our drinking saloons, and the greater portion of+ this amount comes from the So ge and = working ‘or the very neces- classes and people suffering x saries of life, The enforcement of the Excise met with the of enneet opposition, y, by vidience, God. who had broken T 4,000,000, has sustained this law. It coustitutional by the highest court iu the State. it now depends upon our leg’slators to do their duty. superintendent Kennedy has just issued an | order to ali the police to enforce the law; and if public sentiment ts in its favor it must be successful, Many posed to the law are now delighted There is now no fear from riots or the courts No doubt attempts will be made to is now decia | who wero at first op} | with it | reversing the law, | repeal it, so that the destructive business may be con- tinned. A prominent physician gave as his opinion that One-halt of the foreigners who come to our country die from the effects of liqadr in en years, Let Christians do their duty, and speak in ite favor—not from worldly interest, populartiy, &¢., but for con- science’ sake, We must ail give account in jadgment for deeds done in the body, whether they be good or whether they be evil. It has seemed impossible for Christians to keep the Sabbath on account of the sale of liquors on that day; but now, thank God, the day will be reapected. There has been’ a great deal of prayer the last four months that the decision of the Court would be in faror of the closing of the satoous. The ug, and our Sabbath is safe, This is the first Sabbath of the new your, and should be a day of jubilee throughout our churches. Fow men ex. copt those under the influence of liquor will betave themeoives amiss on the Sabbath day, for they know that the eyes of God und man are upon them. The pow- ers of tho earth are to be wielded by the sons of God as well as by the wicked. The Church ts God's great ro- forming power—let her do her duty. Church Communio».

You cannot imagine how I miss you, even in these little ways. Why my heart felt like @ heavy stone in my bosom when I.came back to the office. Will you think of me to-night, I wonder? Please fancy, it you can, that am with you, even as I would be if Lcouid, and I send you a hundred kisses, and @ heart full of the most devoted love.

Weil, it is something to know what a dear, patient, good- hearted darling I have got, for you must know I con- sider that you belong to me exclusively, and no one else has any right to call you pet names, or to love you, either.
