The curate obeyed the summons, and stood before his bishop. "Monsieur Jo Cure,' said the f fhop, "1 have reeeived a ravc charge against you. It is said that you degrade the priest ly function by mechanical auu mercenary labors.'. "It is not to be denied, my lord," re plied the curate, "that I have performed uch labors. 31 v .salary was so small as scarcely to suffice to keep soul and body together, and left nothing;, fori pitality and charity. Having a inechai .a l tum, I have attempted, as iar as L coald do so without infringing; on my ministerial duties, to piece out my scanty income by mending clocks, lor which 1 did not disdain to receive a compensation." "Your own confession," replied the bisliop, "renders further process unnecessary. I cannot pennit the holy ofliico to be associated with a trade. The care of souls demands all our time and thoughts. It becomes my duty to administer to you an effectual admonition" to devote yourself iu future wholly to your ministry. You will find you.' sentence in this paper." So saying;, he handed to him a paper which he had the meanwhile been writing.

TIio Administration ami Mavci j. The veteran Abolitionist, II. (J. Wright, contributes to the Liberator the following; of anti-slavery "events" which have occurred since Mr. Lincoln's inauguration : I. Emancipation in Western Virginia. "1. Emancipation in Missouri. o. Emancipation in the District of Columbia. 4. Emancipation in Maryland. 5: Slavery abolished and forever prohibited in all Territories. 0, Kansas admitted as a free State. 7. Provisions made to admit Colorado, Nebraska and Nevada as free States 5. Organization of Idaho, Montana, Ihtcotah and Arizon: i as free Territories. J. llceognition of tho independence of Ilayti and Liberia. 10. Three millions of slaves declared free by Proclamation of the President, January 1, l8io II. All Fugitive Slave laws repealed. VI. Inter-state slave trade abolished. 1. . Negroes admitted to eijual rights in United States Courts, as praties to suits and as witnesses. 11. Equality of the negro recognized in the publie conveyances of the District of Columbia. 15, All rebel States prohibited from returning to the Union with slavery. 10. Free labor established on numerous plantations iu South Carolina, Louisiana. Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas. 17. Schools for the education of freed slaves in South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, and in Eastern Virginia where, till within three years, to educate the negro was punishable with death. IS. The wives and children of all slaves empl yed as freemen in military and other service of the United States made free. ID. All negroes, bond and free, enrolled as part of the military force of the nation. 0. The loyal people of Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana and Florida, seckinira return to the Union on the basis of freedom to all, and of the abolition and prohibition of slavery. -I. The abolition and prohibition of slavery by an amendment of the Constitution, passed in the Senate b' two-thirds majority, and- by nearly the same iu the II01.HC. L-st by lack of three or four votes, through the influence of Democratic members. '11. The nation, through its representatives in Baltimore, dune Nth, made the abolition and prohibition of slavery the lass of its governmental administration for the futuie. 'i:. The Federal Covernir.vf forbidden to employ uny man nr a 3'fot'e iu any capacity. -1. One hundred and fifty thousand negroes, mostly freed slaves, in the pay and uniform of tho ( I overnment as soldiers. 'V. ashitigloii Knie. From the Alton Demrfcrat'. The country will rejoice to know I Hit idr tins, the I"th day of July, I SO' 1, after three years of war, the expenditure of a n.i. lion and a half id" men nnd tw billions of in.-ney, the Capitol is pronounced "out of danger" by the most distinguished military j hysieian-. o rebels are within t.venty miles of the city, and Seward's bell, Stanton's red tape and 1 1 is Excellency's jokes are once more in unbroken c jiiiniuuication with the Joyal States. Washington was "safe" jnst before Uull llun, "safe" just afterwardj, '"'safe" before Dope's head-ijuarters were in the saddle, 'safe" just after Dope retired from the active service of an ungrateful liepublic and buried Iiis sword and genius anion": the Chippcwas of Miuuo ota, "safe" after Fredericksburg, "safe after Chancellorville, and "safe" now. It is only fair to remark that llichmond is equally "safe" Curious people may desire !o make an estimate from these facts how longa time it is likely to require to perfect the work of subjugation or extermination, but we can afford them no assistance in the calculation. "My plan" of Mr. Lincoln is working admirably; The Emancipation Proclamation may still be purchased for two dollars and a half, and the negroes which it did not free are still "pegging away4" oii'the plantations of tfioir masters. Tho ninety days of our afniublo yrcmicr have been lengthened into one thousand and ninetyfive, while the rebellion, so long on its last legs, still seems tolerably firm upon its pins, and gives evidence of considerable vitality yet remaining. 1 Je fore a week we shall probably have a call for five hundred thousand men, ami oh the first Thursday of August, a lay of fasting, humiliation and prayer, and then what next? Ts it not almost time the people were asking themselves this question, or shall

the good work go on indefinitely Kf cli m on 1, IfTaKen, hut a "liar row iclory" The special correspondent of tho New York Tril-unc, writing from fJcueral Uutler's heaihji arters, June Ü, says: "The capture of Itiehmond, abandoned by the rebels, is a barren victory. Lee's army, which in reality is the Southern Confederacy, still exists, and must be conquered or annihilated. lladtJencral IJutler's force been left intact, ho could now move to advantage; but through tho orders ofCeneraf Halleek this army has been crippled at every time when it should be made available for offensive opera tions." Yet, to this capture, thus given out in advance to be a barren one, a large number of our people have looked as the blow that was to end the warTho Republican papers will soon begin to tell us, for the one hundredth time, that the rebellion is on its last legs, and that it is only necessary to put this f00000 men in. the field to finish it. This is the story they would have the impudence to tell for live years.

i:ciiiptioii Pro ii i tlic Draft. Those who are liable to draft, and prefer to be exempt, should lose no time in attending to the matter. Py a recent circular issued from the Provost Marshal (leneral's JJureau, it is stated that all who claim exemption on account of any of tho causes specified in the amended enrollment act, may now present their claims to the IJoards of Enrollment, and have them decided. Any enrolled person may therefore know at once whether he must furnish a substitute or be liable to be sent himself to the field. CI anus to exemption may be made for the following causes; 1st. Alienage. '2nd. Non-residelit. ord. Over age.

dth. Permanently physical disability, of sucu degree as to render the person not a proper subject for enrollment under the law and regulations. f)th. Having served two years in the military or naval servieo of-the United States during the present war, which is recognized as having commenced April löth. 1M51. It will be much better for those intending to present claims to exemption to do so now, while the Hoards of Enrolment are comparatively at leisure to attend to them, if delayed until a draft, there will bo a press of" business before the Uoard, and unavoidably a loss of time and perplexity to claimants. Civil officers, clergymen, and other prominent citizens are invited to appear at all times before the Uoard to point, out errors in the lits, and to give such information in their possession as may aid in the eorection and revision thereof. The Richmond Inyiitcr, some months ago, stated sundry terms of peace which it imagined the Confedeate government would insist on in any contingency. As they have lately been extensively copied into the Lincoln newspapers, we append the most important of them and tho.e ofiereil by the authorities at Washington: "Recognition by the enemy of tlie independanee of the Confederate States; "Withdraw::! of Yankee forces from every foot of Confederate ground, including Kentucky and Missouri; "Withdrawal of Yankee soldiers from Maryland until that State shall decide by a free vote, whether she shall remain in the old Union, or ask admission into the ( 'onfederacv: "Consent on tho part of the Federal government to give tip to the Confederacy it.-; proportion of the navy as it stood at the time ot secession, or to pay fur the same; "Yielding up of all pretensions on the part of the Federal government to that portion of tho old territories which lie west of the Confederate Slate."." 'flu administration at Washington propose to make peace if ihe Confederates will consent to divest themselves of three thousand .il!in dollars of property in slaves; If they will consent to confiscation o all their other property; If they will consent to the reduction of their States to Territories, and the appointment of Military (Jovernors in them; If they will repudiate their own debt and submit to uueijualand partial taxation iu assisting to pay ours; If they will consent to our maintenance of an Crmrmevs standing army to k(cp th em m subjection should they become restive; they to bear a part id' the expense incurred in its maintenance; These are but a part of the inducements we oiler to attain peace. Since it became apparent that more troops would be needed, there has beevno time to summon them info service in season for employment this year. If the draft had been ordered during the present or next month, the troops would have been mustered in at such a lime that their term of service would have expired iu the middle of an active campaign nextycar. Now with ajdraft on the fdh d September, the men will not be collected into regimental organizations till October at the earliest, and will rei.iain'in service during all nej:t summer. ,Yw York Tribune, July PJ This is frank. Tlie five h'.mdrcd thousand new troops just now called for arc net fur $ i vicclhis year) they are designed for next year's campaigns. Heretofore, whenever there has been a fresh call, the I,reteneeofthe abolition newspapers has ecu that it was tlie last, and that its object was to Gnish up the war suddenly. That sort of deception is given over. The abolition press has ceased to place any limit on the duration of the war. It foresees another year of the strife, and admits it with as muili unconcern as it refers to the mostincoiiscijnenlial event. An another year of strife will add twelvo or fifteen hundred millions to the public debt, cost six oreight hundr.'d thousand human lives, break down the financial fabric, and prostrate every industrial interest, and at the close of" the year tho rebellion will have grown in strength, as it has grown from the day of the adoption of the abolition policies ol emancipation, confiscation, sub jugation, extermination. -Vhicayo 1'imcs. Mnvcraior U l ight Wo have frequently been -asked what has become of ex Gov. Wright. Well, the fined we have noticed for some time past of Joseph was his appearance on the platform in Now York with Garret Smith ami other nbtcd abolitionists, on the occa sion of a lecture by the Rev. Sella Martin, a negro preacher. JIh next and last appearance was as a speaker at the Lincoln ratification meeting in New York.

Political Truth. The States made the Federal flovcrnlucnt. They are the pincixi!, and the Federal Government is the J;t nt, exercising only such powers as the States aVe con ferred upon it. Th? only allegiance' of the citizen to th-' Fcdc'fat Government is through the action of the State that puts him in that position. In their relations with each other,-tb-e. States are. partners. Th'e Federal Agent fias no right to discriminate either for or against any of the sovereign partners to the compact. We arc a Confederation a independent republics, and not ono consolidated nation. The people of the United States never voted or acted in the world as one common mass, which" would be the case if they were a nationality like France or Russia.

When tho' States, through the action of their delegates, made the Federal Constitution, they exprosly refused to confer upon the Federal Agent auy power whatever to coerce by force a State that refused to perform its obligations to the Confederacy. The attempt was made, but every State voted against it. The fundamental organization of our political system is the State, and to it every citizen who is not on the high seas looks for protection to his life, liberty and property. The Federal Government protects neither, as the States have never seen lit to confer upon it that eminent province of sovereignty. The preservation of State rights is liberty. Consolidation means despotism. Cin. Knquir r. A T.viit.ows i. 3 Acivs. Repoutkd FOR T1IK AsSoCIATKIl PUF.SS, HI Josll Uir.Lix!. Act.'

E N Co T K A CS K M K T To PuiILIC TllIKVF.S. The New York World of July 1 thus speaks of the pardoning of the notorious Col. Fish: "One of the most disgraceful acts com mitted by President Lincoln is the pardoning of Col Fish, late provost-marshal. His manifold "riirr0, .f which he was most righteously convicted by a court-martial, and for which he deserved imprisonment for life, was condoned by the payment of a fine of live thousand dollars. This man vas proved guilty of the meanest thefts. of levying black-mail upon innocent people, and ot the must simckimr cruelty toward men and women, whom he compelled logo South under loose charges of disloyalty. This person, Fish, once issued an order forbidding the Ualtimore papers from copy ing articles from the World, while, at the same time, he was sending Confederate cotton bonds to Europe to sell. All this was proved upon the trial. When a' public official is superlatively jraloas iu denouncing Democrats'", and professing extra vagant loyalty, it is safe to assume that he is at heart a traitor or a thief, or both." A "Freednian's Aid Commission," ns it was called, composoil of delegates from throughout the Northwest, has just closed a session in this city. Political parsons and superanuated philanthropists figured to the amusement ol some ladies and a good many children. Their love for the poor negro was expressed touehiogly. Rut nothing was said about the white man, the white soldier, the white Soldiers wife, the white soldiers' children, the brave and dead white roMiers' orphans.
