Hartnell, of this City, oa Thursday, November 36, 1871, at the First Congregational Church. After an appropriate introduction, Rev. Mr. Hartzell spoke substantially as follows: Render unto Ca-sar the things that are (Vsar'n. and unto God the things that are God's.—M att. 22 21 THE CHCRCII AND THE STATE ARE DOTH DIVINE IN THEIR ORIGIN. None will question the divine origin of the Church. In all ages God has had his jtcople, and whatever has been the form of the Church externally, her bond of union has been perfect. Christ is the contempo rary of all ages: and every child of God has him for an elder brother. Rut the divine origin of the State is ques tioned. One theory is that the State is* but the development of the family. It is true that singly families combine' to form the State, and that, in some respects, they are analogous, but it is also true That the power of the State transcends that of the family, and the right of government is different in each, and that the family must always be subordinate to the State. Another theory is that the State is but lorce organized, by which the weak is made to submit to the strong. This contradicts tue very idea of the State for its bulwarks are law and free dom. There is in mere force nothing that can progress, and to say that it had its ori gin in force is at once to transform the State and her children into master and slaves. The State has force, but it is the force of righteousness, by which the world is to be conquered. Another theory is that the S'ate is the outgrowth of a human impulse, just as the cell of the bee or the dam of the beaver is the result ot instinct. Rut this can not be true, for the primal object of the State is the subjection of human impulse to the claims of justice and practical godliness. A more popular thepry is that the State had its origin in a social contract; that there was a time when there was no organized society, and men by a sort of conventional movement formed the State. This theory is based upon a historical fiction, and de nies the truth that never was better stated than by Aristotle when he declared that "man by nature is apolitical being." The rudiments of tbe State are in tiie nature of man, and man Las liis development in the the State. And again, man lia> no existence apart from the State, and is always subject to it. II the State has its origin in the social contract, then its supremacy is a fic tion and its continuance accidental. Still another theory is that the State has its origin in the sovereignty of the people by which they have the right to rule. Rut this theory robs the State of all sovereignty, for the sovereignty of one company of men is as perfect as that of another, so that the merest caprice of the multitude becomes law. All these theories have germsof truth. Retween the State and the family there are striking analogies: the State has' might and force; patriotism is an instinct—a holy im pulse of the soul; man's social nature gives the ground work of all relations including those ot the State, and the people have the right to rule. Rut in none of these has the State her origin. Rack ot the family force, instinct, social contracts and human sovereignty, stands the Father and sovereign of all, and the State has for its seed the fulfillment of His purposes. The evidence' of this is manifold. The State is an organic unit, and therefore must proceed from the one source of organic being. It is a perfect unit, therefore must proceed from no part of itself, but from a power outside of and above itself. Plutarch says truly, "In mv judgment, a city could be more easily built without ground than a State without faith in God." The State has a moral personality which can only come from God. Its will is recognized law. The will of no man or set of men outside of the State is law; hence its divine authority. This thought permeates history. In Judea God ruled the people directly. In Greece it was shaped in the beginning of its history, in all its traditions, and in the last words of its philosophy. In Rome the relations of family and State blended with.the religion. Am^thisreeogni lion of the divine origin of the State was not the offspring of superstition, but was held the clearest when the nations were the strongest. Among the Jews, under Solo mon: among the Romans, under the Caesars; auiKthe Greeks, under Pericles, the people always associated the ideas of political or ganization and spiritual devotion. "The true symbol of the Stare is that of a city with a«hundred gates, through which there passes not only the course of industry and trade, but the forms of poets and prophets soldiers, sailors aud scholars—man, woman anu child, in the upbrokeii procession ol' the people. Its warrior bears the shield of Achilles, on which there are uot only ti 4 19. Park. 1871.............................. j;{— 20. Deficit of 1871—an over estimate....... 5t:n 21.

Diaiuagejudgments.................... 189 battle has begun, and the duty Of every true American is plain: our common school syctem must be protected against every foe, and all the people must have the bene fit of education, free from priestly dicta tion or control. The duties of the Church are three fold, and may be summoned up in a single sen tence: They are to preserve in its purity, to interpret, and to preach to the world the will of God to man. That will is written in the books of nature and revelation. WHILE THE CHURCH AND STATE EACH HAVE DUTIES THAT ARE SPECIAL TO THEMSELVES THEY ALSO HAVE DUTIES TO EACH OTHER. It is the duty of the State to publicly recognize God in his providential dealings with the race, it is her duty to recognize and give full protection to the church in her specific work. The church must lie left un t-rainmcled to carry on her work as the spiritual adviser anil purifier of the world. She wars to-day under different banners. Her creed is variously stated: Her modes of warfare differ. Rut the church of God is one in her fundamental principles, in her spirit and ultimate design. Now •what is necessary for the final triumph of the church is not bayonets and armies or politi cal intrigue, but* it is freedom. Tho work of the church is a spiritual work.

Out of or under the plea of policy—no matter j one and three-quarters received for city, where it is, in public or privarc—the power of tbe church should be burled against it.

Ir n a t may be educate puuctions of conscience may be educat upon every form of public aud s, with indifference. It is the duty of the church to educate the public conscience then by denouncing sin, but she ma.-t what she teaches. Compromise w the part of the church is the greatest sin of the age. There is m>. a crime that blackens the lace of society to-day that has not sup porters within the church of God. The rum traffic is justified, licentioiisrn ss is legalized, murder is winked at, bribery ami hand pass current under the names of shrewd ness and business skill; and, to sum it ai up, the end is made to justify the means in everything. There is power enough iu tiie church of God in America to-day to rise in ami lead a reform that would master the worst public or social vice among us, and it is her duty to do it. It is the duty of the church to make her power felt iu the selections of those who govern. Not to do this is to let the nation be ruled by the rabble. The church is to bring her power to bear, not as an organ ization. but through her individual mem bers. Recause a man is a Christian, Jie ought therefore lie the better and wiser politician. Rut the lamentable truth on this point is that such is the deplorable con dition of American politics that a conscien tious man can rarely succeed. In conclusion, 1 have but two remarks to make: First—He who accepts a place of trust in the State should remem tier that he is the representative of God in the interests of the people. Second—The individual member of the church should as conscientiously attend to his duties as a politician as he does his duties as a Christian. Where either must give way, he must lie a Christian first. Rut duties never conflict, aud no one is more binding than another. A Christian should no more neglect the meetings where our rulers arc selected than he should neglect his prayer meeting. Frederick W. Beetson, late of No. Waverly place, New York, owned a favorite dog, and about three weeks ago. while play ing with him, the brute licked his lips. The same night the dog exhibited symp toms of being rabid, aud, continuing to grow worse, was killed with poison three days subsequently. Two weeks ago Mr. Beetson complained of great pain iu liis head, had great horror of water, showed fear to an unusual degree, aud was s- ized with spasms ou drinking. A doctor was called to see Mr. Beetson about ten nays ago, and learning the history of the ease, administered the proper antidotes, w ithout success, as death ensued on Friday. The Ilacine Journal is willing to swear to the following: The other day a father and sou were dressing a hog. the father doing the chop ping. By a uiisstroke, instead of splitting tiie hog open, lie split his sou's hand. In explaining how it happened to the doctor, the father exclaimed "I can not tell a lie, doctor, indeed I can not. I did it with my little hatchet." The son was deeply moved, and was heard to remark that he "had rather have such a father than a whole slaughterhouse full of dead hogs." A highwayman named Baliaud, confined in Newgate Prison, London, sent for a sol icitor to know how he could defer his trial, and was answered: i"By getting an apothe cary to make an affidavit of his illness." This was accordingly done in the following manner: "The deponent verily believes that if the said J. Balland is obliged to take his trial at the ensuing session, lie will be in imminent danger of his life." To which the learned judge on the bench answered, that he very believed sc too. The trial was ordered to proceed immediately. only the interest money in a large number ot cases could he got iu cash; the balance had to be taken in Metropolitan warrants. 1 he assessments of the past Metropolitan y<-ar. including the thirty percent reassess ment, were over a million. About #806,ooo was the regular annual assessment, lint 1 think they economized #76.000 ou that. The balance had to be taken up by the city. For Metropolitan account ouiv #070,000 have been collected; so the city had to lose. Number twenty-two is* the last. It is an old debt of tho city for which the Hoards of Drainage Commissioners obtained a judg ment, and it lias now to be recognized in favor of the Mississippi aud .Mexican Gulf Canal Company l'or work. Now let us sum up: The city must be redited for extinguish ing consolidated debt................ $?n.oflA Old ten percents......................... 74.5.300 Metropolitan obligations.................. 83;t,b06 .............$2,220,906 1 as follows 6680.000 ..........152,038 104,0011 i Total................... j And it must be char.

Rut they have new wharves costing #660.000. and numerous other permanent improve ments I have not taken time to specify. My best accountants are overtaxed with labor, and I can not call on them momentarily for verified official statements, but I shall do so as fast as possible; and if in these rapidly prepared memoranda I am not within the mark. I shall promptly acknowledge it. The truth is all I wish or need to establish. A Washington special to the Louisville Ledger says: It has been ascertained tbftt there is no diversity of opinion in the Finance Com mittee as to the abolition of the income tax. They will agree to sweep away ali the in ternal revenue taxes, except on whiskies, beer, tobacco and stamps, provided that the new Committee on Ways and Means, on the part of the House, will take the initiative, and first report hills on these subjects to that body. A.proniinent Representative lias requested that the 'Treasury Department furnish to him a complete list of all money lost by de falcation, embezzlement and o*ther irregu larities, since the present administration came into power. The Secretary of the Treasury, acting upon this hint, has issued instructions that tiie account of every dis bursing officer under the government be made iq> prior to the assembling ot Con "Sarali, have any of those mischievous children been playing with the piano while I have been out of town Some of the keys w on't sound at all."

While putting a prisoner into a bath at the Charlestown (Massachusetts) State Prison, a few days ago. the officers found a leather belt around his waist, filled with sharp-pointed steel nails, which penetrated his flesh au eighth oil an inch, and had lacerated his sides and back, lie offered no explanation of this freak, but it is sup posed that he was doing penance, as he pretends to be very devout.

Dissolution of ihc Democratic Party, Ihe St. Louis Democrat has a Chicago dis patch on which it comments as follows: Our telegraph dispatches contain the let ter of Mr. George H. Parker, a leading Democrat of Iowa, in favor of the iminedC ate disbandment and dissolution of the Democratic party. Mr. Parker made a desperate attempt, a few years ago, to Johnsomze the Deinacracy. and for his trouble ho was, we believe, appointed by A. J. Collector of Customs at Chic ago. lie is a good party manager, probably one of the most successful in the Northwest, and liis letter will have great influence. It seems cruel, however, not to let the poor old Democratic party die in peace. There is no use -in jumping at it all at once aud ham mering the few remaing breaths out of it. This is the dispatch referred to: Chicago, November 23.—Hon. George II. Parker, a leading Democrat of Davenport, Iowa, addressed the. following letter to the Chicago Times, which appeared iu that journal this morning: Hat ing iaitliliilly served as a member of the Democratic organization for over twen ty j ears, and still having the fullest confi dence iu the cardinal principles of that party, I am impelled to declare mv convic tion that the organization has outlived its usefulness, and that it is the duty of Demo crats to openly acknowledge that the Demo cratic party is dead. All efforts at depart ure or to galvanize it into life have proved a failure. The prestige of its general policy or rather the lack ol policy, during the war will cling to it and prevent success no matter how much we may become purified by a change ot heart. The result of the recent elections is sufficient proof of this fact. We can organize by forming some integral qart of a new party, and probably resurrect our principles. *R.it the bodV must be buried, and the stench of its putrid remains removed from the public uostrils. 1 he present is the proper emergency to test tin? patriotism ot members of the Demo cratic party. If we love our country better than we do onr party, abandon the organi zotum and unite with patriots, disregarding political antecedents, and we mav reasona s--, lor a c,liln «e of administration in tll:4t 'y, l!1 protect and guarantee equal lights to all sectu ns of our common coim tiy. centralized power will vanish; the war will soon be forgotten, and our country again be peaceful, prosperous ami happy _ george h. parkeu! l>a\enport, Iowa, -NovoiubHr 1871 A curious fact is related TTthe Maine n dchoppers w ho, in the winter months nbile felling trees amid snow and ice, can not wear close-fitting boots, but very ar^e sizes, that allow their feet to slin i fro, thus causing friction imf I.

After repeated fruitless efforts by her rep resentatives, to bring her peculiar griev ances before that august body, her clainrte the wardship of the nation, which had never been seriously controverted, has been re luctantly conceded. That the vandalism of the Father of Waters, frolicking capri ciously over her entire extent, and opening a highway from the lakes to the gulf, en titles her to subsidiary consideration, kaa never been gainsayed by the most phleg matic advocate of public retrenchment. Rut, while the most specious scheme at a more northern point, has preference to one in which the vital interests of a sover eign State are presented, the agricul tural and industrial resources of Louisianu must languish or be fostered and developed by her own people. The Congress which refused lo defray the expenses of a commit tee which it grudgingly appointed, to in spect end report the condition of our levees, is not composed of men who will ever open the public purse in aid of any Southern un dertaking. And if we would be exempt from the recurrence of those ruinous period ical overflows and crevasses which, with a steady menace, are paralyzing our State spirit, the inspiration of a common interest will place abundant means for the common task in our own willing bands. And long belore a red-tape committee shall submit its report, tbe walling of tbe Mississippi shall be a monument to the energy and State pride of Louisiana's chivalrous plant ere. Upon an occasion so well calculated to awaken public interest, such as the arrival of a Congressional delegation, bearing glad tidings, the painful apathy of our leading men was very marked. In a scramble for sortie paltry'public office, leaders loom np on every band whose patriotism is as hollow as it is loud, and who while tbe incentive of gain is held out, and no longer, are ready to do yeoman service. Bnt at that little dinner on board the Wilderness, there was one who was present irom a high sense of duty, and by whom tbe State of Louisiana was faithfully and ablyrepresented. Al ways bold anil always right, he fearlessly told the committee hia opinion of them, of those who sent them, and of their mission, lie said he looked for neither justice nor liberality from a Congress, whose munificent provision for a "Kn-Klux" committee was in such striking contrast with its parsi monious treatment of a commission of in quiry. The moment was an auspicious one for bringing the Mississippi question fully before the country. And that little speech of Governor Warmoth, full of the pathos oi honest indignation, shall be re-echoed from the hill-sides of New England to the slopes of the Pacific, before the committee to which it was addressed shall reach the cap ital of tbe nation. His just impalement of, a Congress whose Southern reconstruction policy consists mainly in penal enactments, and which, while endowing a village saw mill, ignores the physical characteristics of tbe country, shall produce abundant fruit, while the common-place report of a commis sion appointed in bad faith shall not merit a consideration. The people of Louisiana have no iittlo reason to be proud of their gifted and in trepid executive. For every day furnishes a new guarantee, in his unfaltering energy and zeal, that the ship of state shall Id steered aright while Henry Clay Warmoth stands at the helm. Possessing wisdom be yond his years, and resembling in force of character the prominent men otTtlie early days of the republic, he is eminently quali fied for a ruler. Let-others bend the knee to those who were born great, and others yet offer incense to those who had greatness thrust upon them; we confess our prefer ence for those who are truly great, and re serve an admiration for those who achieve greatness, aud who from an ungenerous world win a shining name. Rights of a Colored Man. (Boston Correspondence of the New York San. The case of the Rev. Alexander EJim against the Naragansett Steamship Com pany for alleged ill treatment while a pas senger on the steamer Providence, which bas been pending tor some days, has been decided in favor of the plaiutiif. The jury gave a verdict against the company, and assessed the damages at $100. In view of e testimony elicited at the trial, this ver dict is a singular one. The following are the circumstances as sworn to by the omcere ot the company, and not denied iu toto by the plaintiff: Mr. Eilis, who is a colored man, secured passage on the Providence in June last from New \otk to Fall river. When supper was announced he went into tbe diningroom and seated himself at a small table reserved for the use of the captain, officers of the boat and such others as the former might invito to sit with him. The chairs at this table were turned to show that it was so reserved. Without speaking to any one, Mr. Ellis turned down one of the chairs and seated himself. The head waiter, himself a colored mac, at once went to Mr. Ellis and politely told him that the table was private, and asked him to take a seat at one of the publio tables. Mr. Ellis refused to do so, saying that the seat was good enough for him. The head waiter then went for the stew ard, Mr Mood, who came and repeated the request that Mr. Ellis would change his seat. So far the testimony agrees on both sides. Here, however, Mr. Ellis swears that the steward insulted him by calling him a "d—d nigger," etc., saying that if he didn't change his seat he would put him out of the cabin. Mr. Wood denies this, and says that although Mr. Ellis' refusal to take an other seat was aggravating, he restrained from expressing his mind. He went turuughtothe cnief mate aud stated tho case, who came down sailor-like and sailed into the Rev. Ellis in true forecastle style. He, however, made no demonstration;* neither did he lay hands on the colored man, as Mr. Ellis alleges. 3 he case stood thus when Captain Siui mons came on the 6cene and settled the Uifliculty by ordering the steward to allow the reverend and obstinate gentleman to sit there just as long as he pleased, but to give him nothing to eat until he would obey the regulations of the boat. Mr. Ellis sat there for nearly two hours, when, finding that he T-thin 0 S 8U1,perleS8 ke got up ami left tho 1 J h Vir 1 T aS Portly after this, fcU ^aiming $5000 damages, and alter several postponements, has at last coimvmv L d the c^fgyman's favor.
