MORE HEADS TO FALL Hew the Campbells Came Down cn the Soldiers. Bismarck, Dakota, March 21, 1876. Last summer, when your correspondent first visIted thin country, known as the Upper Missouri Valley, nn?l engaged in ferreting out und making public, through the columns of the 1Ikrai.ii, the corruption and fraudulent management of the Indian Department s regulated by the Delano-Orvllle Grant ring, the korktiig ot tlic latter was described as that of an anu ionda whoso head win in Washington and whoso tail was on the I'ppcr Missouri, somewhere in tho vicinity of Kurt Feck. Whenever the anaconda was fed at Washington, whether hy all appropriation of money or annuity goods for the regularly rolihed Indians, there was a wriggling along tho entire length which did not stop until tho major part of tho goods or tho money proceeds thereof were salely and securely stowed awav In the po> kets of the members of tho ring, consisting of Delano, Commissioner Smith, Orvlllo (Irani, Honnufon. Lelyhton llrethers and other smaller fry, Including many ol the agents. So determined was tho war wuged hy the Hkuald against tho thievlug operations of Delano .V Co., and so uiideliia hie and direct were Its accusations against Delano and "my ton John," tnat tho .former was at last very reluctantly forced to surrender the gcut in tho Cabinet which ho had disgraced and shield blimcll and his peculations behind the screen ol private I tie. Almost with tho regularity with which the si usons of tlie year succeed each oilier it again fell to the enterprise and far reaching energy ol the Hkiiai.ii hi be the llrst to expose corruption and downright robbery upon the part of another Cabinet olticer, a follow plunderer of Delano's; und if the term anaconda wsa applicable to tbo llghlfiugcrod manipulations o! the Indian Dopartmcut by Delano, my son lolui, Hi oilier Orvillc, and smith, theex-Couiinlaslouer press the shoplifting propensities of Belknap, embracing in their operations almost a continent.

It is the fall and disgrace of uien like these which, combined w ith that of Belknap, go to make this scandal well deserving to bo considered us a national humiliation. MOHK IIKVKLATIONS. Id this little obscure railway hatulot. situated upon the extreme verge of civilization, resides an old army utter, one o( the olden tliuo, who was the lirst, or litiong the first, victim of Belknap's corrupt avarice; nd who tor yeais has been endeavoring to convinco his acquaintances and immediate friends that Bolknup was using his high position to ruh the soldiers ol the troutier. At lust this old man, who was tiio rarly friend of Generals Sherman, Sturgcs, Wcssel, Kmorr and other senior oillccr.i of the army at u time when they were lieutenants serving on the frontier, htids his partial justilication by seeing the entire nation adopt his estimate of Belknap's character. Ii can bo shown conclusively that almost Immediately alter Belknup became Secretary of War ho began intriguing to gain coulrol of the nearly 2oo post traders hips of the army. Kuitblul to Ins State, or unfaithful more properly staling it, he at Orst selected lus principal i-artuers In crime almost entirely Irum among his neighbors in Iowa. When Itelknup came iuto power as Secretary of War tho appointment of post traders rested with tho three senior olllcers at each post, by which regulation a sure check gainst rings and monopolies was established.

Mr. ilariholouiew. counsel lor the prisoner, I Immediately demanded that the jurors already selected ! should also he discharged. A long and exciting dls- j cession ensued between counsel, whim occupied u large portion of the morning session. The Court Dually j overruled the motion, and Mr. Darlholomcw Died a bill ol exceptions to the ruling. This littlo episode j wits soon known upon the street, and all sorts ol reports and rumors wero put in circulation. The peoplo seemed to he tilled with pnimul emotions at the prosI poets of further prolongation of the great excitement I which has pervaitcd this section lor seven months past. As the stories spread over thu borough an Impression gathered strength thut the whole case had boeu smashed by the legal itiiormality, and that Kelly i was sure to escape justice after all. litis development ol popular feeling shows to what an extent inter- i est in the matter lias been carried. On ordinary ! occasions the allalr would have been considered a good kind of a judicial joke, but to day it was received in a manner so serious that it shows how i deeply the public heart bus been stirred It may be ; said that this condition ol teellng does not arise Irom u prejudice against the prisoner, but rather irom a ; well grounded apprehension lluit lull justice in the , premises stands in danger ol. being deluuied It is not tlio horror experienced at the droadlul murder of 1 Jones, m Lunsturd, that Impresses and Influences the people of this porlion ol the anthracite coal held at this juncture, but rather the laul that the homicide is hut one of a series believed to have been perpetrated by u particular orguuualioii, composed of tho Si mill; thu aggregation of agriculture in the , lunula of plutocracy, orresponding to the ola (ilaiilors: in lacl, tin- entire revolution ol society us it lit prevent exists.

[From tlio Sacramento Uuion Record.] Upon the suggestion ol Muyor Bryant, tne citizens ol San Francisco are about to take such steps as are in their power to procure Congressional action regarding the Chiucso nuisance, which, as tho Mayor rightly observes, is becoming intolerable.

Xtw Yoke, Murch. 7, 1S76. MyHeakSik?1 was surprised ami vrioved to loura tUut thu taxation of cliurch edifices hud been seriously 1 utid ovon earnestly advocated before the Committee ot 'Vays and Means in llio .Assembly. It ia virtually a j proposition to impose u lax on the worship of Almighty Cod, unless it Is ruudurvd in the opuu air or la some buildmg already subject to taxation. No one objects to the taxation of any church properly devoted to eocuhir uses. It is tho imposition ol taxes ou bouses of worship that is so objected to us a profanation of that whicn should bo held sacred. Ono of tho advocates of tho measure commends to us the oxumplo of tho primitive Christians in regard to i out door service, as II uparallol could be drawn between tho climuto of Judca, radiant with sunshine and perennial bloom all the your round, and ours, in which (extraordinary seasons excepted) wo ire burled in snow two or three months und pinched with cold,.even when under cover, two or three more. Another says that tho Apostles achieved their successes without churches. Hut these references to tho habits of the early followers ol tho Saviour munifost un extremely supertlciul know lodge of ecclesiastical history. The Lust I Clipper was uuminisiercu n v nun in un upper mum, . unit most ol Ills teachings wi re in tho synagogues. The : Acts of the Apostles dhow that they preached in llio Temple at Jcrusulcm whenever they were allowed to do so. and in tho synagogues at Antioeh, Thossaloiilca, Athens, Corinth. Kphesua and wherever else lliey went, 'lhey used Jewish housed ol' worship bueanso they had none of their own. Alter the ascension of their | Diviuo Master His follow ers wore for a long period of i tlmo the objects ol Jewish and l'agan persecution, bus- ; tamed by the tomporul authorities, ami their worship t was conducted in hiding planes, sometimes in cam combs in the bosom of tho earth. It they bod been blessed with tho religious toleration which wo enjoy, ami had possessed our wealth, thoro is every > reason to bolievo tli.il they would have hudt j houses ol worship as tasteful and costly as , our own. The instinct ol nil communities ol men is j to erect for the worship ol their Creator edifices ro- I spolidillg to their conceptions of ills majesty and 11 is J beneficence. There are, as we all Know, more inexpensive than expensive houses of worship; but it is ; because, In the groit majority of religious societies, th.Te is an Inability to do tuore. It is creditable to j Christians ol ail deiioinlnniioUM that their expenditures fur religious worship ure only limited by their pecuniary means. We cannot duuht that the primitive Christians entertained us elevated views of the dignity of the Service due to their Heavenly father as their Isrueiillc predecessors, who built tlm Temple of Jerusalem. The Divine founder of our failh gave an impressive pruol of His i unceptiou ol the sacred eharacter ol edifices consecrated lo the service ol God, by driving the iiieuey changers out ol the temple?llie only act of violence in Ills mock and compassionate hie; and 1 trust wo shall have courage and reverence enough to ; imttalo llis example, mid prevent the money changers Iroiu nulling 11 fool hold in our houses oi worship and 1 enlivening them into dens or uneven. As soon as tho primitive Christians reused to bo objects ol persecution and wort) protected by their civil rulers, they begun to erect expensive houses ot worship; and from tbo era of Coiistuoline they converted splendid pagan temples to tin- service ol their Maker. | There are now in tbo city ol Homo seven or eight of , these temples reclaimed Irom heathenism and couse- ' crated to Christian worship. From that day to this? j during ihe lapse of nearly 1,000 years?no government , lias undertaken to matte church edifices pay tributo for j the privilege of worshipping tiod. Kvon the pagans, j through the veneration in which they held tho temples dedicated to their idols, manliest more reverence than the promoters of this raid upon religious worship. No j movement has given such encouragement and comfort to unbelievers, who would create every possible impediment to the progress ol Christian teaching, as this J proposal to tax church edillcos. Sectarian dissensions > have succeeded iu driving religious instruction out of 1 1 the public schools; and now cupidity and unbelief ) , would break down tho Sunday schools by pocu- [ nlary impositions upon the edilices in which they j tire held, and set communities and iicighhm hoods at ! work to calculate the cash vaunt of rehgtotts worships , t it is ditllcull to coticeivo thai tlie proposition could j have had its origin in any other breast than one un- 1 friendly to ull church organizations, or one in which 1 the love of money is tho predominant passion. If ( those who have set on loot llns movement want tnoro money let them tax their rum, their tobacco, their 1 pictures, la-t horses, game deizs, liquor saloons, dunce t houses, clubs, theatres, diamonds, equipages, every- , tiling, in short, w hich ministers to their pleasures, their tastes and their sensual indulgences. Nay, luz them tax their seminaries of learning, their institutions devoted to human science and even the grouudg in which the unconscious bonus of their ancestors repose, rullior than invade with inorcctiuiy exactions iliu 1 edittzcs devoted to the worship ol Almighty tiod and 1 to tlie teaching ol our duty to Hint and our neighbors. i Some of the abettors ol this movement Uavo hud Uiu magnanimity to ici us uniii-rsiunii inai mcy are ready to compromise with ttio Sovereign ltuior. They \ will iimke reuse ii a bio concessions. They will allow *1,000 of Clie value ol each ol His churches lo l>o exempt (rem taxation, ami only exact ol llim pay- { men t ell ibo residue. Tliey may, perhaps, go so far as to allow Him $2,000?as much as it would cost a well- j to do taruicr to house his horses anil his horned cattle, i There is u degree ol sublimity in this condescension : 1 which beggars all comment, and 1 dismiss it. With those who think the Almighty sulllcioully honored by rendering liiut homage in buildings no better thun burns and outhouses, no matter how abundant the pecuniary means of the worshippers, and who uttuch 110 more sanctity to one class i ol those editlcos than to the other, It would bo equally fruitless and Humiliating to hold any parley or continence. In muullnid instances both In the Old and New Testaments a house ol worship is called the house ol Ood, and 11 is always named with appropriate expression ol rivoretico. The universal heart ro- ] spends 10 this designation, and no matter how humble the cditlco consecrated to His service all men when within its nallowuo walls fuel more sensibly than they do amid the turmoil of the outer world that they are in the presence ol the Omnipotent Hoing, by whom llio great lories ol the universe aiu moved and controlled, and that by ignoring Hint they renouuee all hope ol a higher state ol cxistcticu. The scheme should be repudiated and denounced in 1 all us purls. One can hardly debate It without a locilog of abasement. It is not a subject lor human logic. It is not u problem o! profit and loss, to bo argued by religious obligation mi oue side and llmiiicial cupidity on ttio other. It is a mutter ol instinct, of inborn reverence. ol the consciousness which every mind not jK-rvuriou try iiiu sophistications 01 wonniy scicnco has ul lis own immeasurable intcriorily to tho Sovoroigu Kulcr ofllic universe and of tho houiago it owes Hno us lis creator utnl redeemer. i'hore is something revolting to tlie moral souse in Us normal slate in the idea 01 making a mercenary profit out of an ediileu consecrated to ills service. Wlic-n tins inner sense is wanting argument is fruitless. The most allractivo objects which meet us In our : travels in Kuropo are the cathedrals. Alma all the wurs, the bloodshed, the burouritics, the desolation which iialhins have visited upoir each other, under iho misguidance ol their ovil jmsstous, th< so monuments ot thotr laith and their devotion come out from tho durk background of the picture in bright relict as su- i crod tributes to the Creator of Iho universe. No man can stand beneath tlieir domes and vaulted roots without tooling that they alone lor much ot tho wrong committed by th'elr authors, Who lavished on theut without mini tho wealth tin y would otherwise have wasted on ostentatious gralilicatlohs or unholy inuulgenres. Heaven lorlud that the lesson ol these comparatively uncivilized ages should bo lost on us, and that in litis duy ol intelleetual light anil oooinl rctlne nielli Itio lax-gatherer ,-hould he Kilt to nil his bag nf lucre tiy levying contributions ou the sanctuaries ul the living t?od! I do not believe that nny conitminity which seeks to throw its secular expenses on the worship ol Sod by levying contribution* on the edilloes consvcruteil to Mis services can loug escape the chusUiomvui It provukcaIt is nut nocessary to look lor special visitations of ill as muiillestainm*ol liisdispliosurc. Cupidity, sniilshio ss, rapacity, the profanation ol things which shoulu ho held microti, carry with them, by tho lurco ol lininutublc laws, ltie retribution denounced by the codes they violate. All roll.. otis denominations have llio same Interest In provcniillg their houses of worship Irom being desecrated and secularised by taxation. As was beautllully ?i|irotncd tiy Mine, do SiaOl, flieir ceremonies are strongly contr.isled; hut tho same sigh ol distress, the same pcllllou lor support, ascends to heaven Irom all." It seems to mo that this whole movement Is calculated to create in the breasts ol retloctibg persons a tooling ol profound sorrow and uuiuiligatod disgust. The pro|ier mode ol' treating It Is to scout it out ol tho cotnmtllco rooms, legislative halls nnd social circles which it has dollied by us presence. To give it say countenance would be to turiiish new ground lor the national reproach (no oltcu cast upon us, that tho almighty dollar is the cliler object ol our adoration. 8PEKCB PETTIS' FORGERIES.
