to select men who are now good and true, without respect to past party affiliations.  A man who has served in the rebel army of who has otherwise participated in the "rebellion," and who has since been declared pardoned by the President should not be debarred from a seat in Congress

How very submissive and repentant is this language, from who has been engaged in rebellion!  But no; we do the Era wrong for it merely confesses to being overpowered, and indignantly scorns the supposition that it feels one pang of repentance in its soul. It sincerely regrets that the rebellion did not triumph. Of course the Union members of Congress, who are in a large majority, will not for a moment think of repealing, or modifying the test oath, no matter from what quarter a suggestion to that effect may come. The best interests of the South and of the nation forbid such a step. For better would it be the South to elect to Congress Union men who can neither read nor write than to elect men who used all their talents, experience and influence to bankrupt, desolate and prostrate the South, as did Soule, Benjamin, Davis and Stephens. No man could possibly do worse than they have done, and few can do so bad; we doubt if any one can. We grant their talents, but a man of talent is sometimes practically a num-skull. What have the talents of these revel leaders done for the South? They have brought on her naught save disaster and sorrow. Either their heads are weak, or their hearts are wrong, or else they are wofully deficient in that temperate judgment without which the man of talent is only an eminent fool. In any one of these cases they are wholly unfit to represent us in a council of practical men.

We hope the Test Oath will stand. It is essential to the safety of the nation, and of the original Union men of the South. No man will deny that if the Confederacy had triumphed all Union men would have been rigidly excluded from office. In fact, we see leading Southern journals urging the election of none but rebels to office, on the ground that they only truly sympathise with the Southern people. Within the past fortnight we have seen such men as Charles Palmer, of Richmond, rejected for the Legislature, on the ground that they were Union men. If this be the rule in a defeated Confederacy, how much more rigidly would it have been enforced had the Confederacy of thestriumphed. The rebel leaders have no shadow of sight to ask that the United States Government shall be more lenient to them than they are to Union men. If they ever expect to be fully forgiven, they must drop their persecuting spirit and cease to oppress and degrade the friends of the Government.

Confederacy vs. Religion.
Whatever other merits cause of the Confederacy may have possessed, it proved to be illy adapted to spiritual matters. Among the criminals that were hauled over the coals by the M.E. Conference at Edgefield, was the Rev. Mr. Jackson. He was accused of having left his circuit, and was told that the least he deserved was a severe reprimand. The revered gentleman got up and said it would be an easy matter for him to explain his reasons for the alleged sin. He said the brethren paid him his quarterage in Confederate money, which would neither buy him a robe of office, nor pay his board, nor the shoeing of his horse.

The clergyman found Confederate notes a poor material for carpeting his path to the City of "golden streets." Now what was a Confederacy worth that couldn't pay a Methodist preacher, we would like to know? We won't say that it wasn't worth a d--n, but are very sure that that was its full market calue. Nevertheless it appears that some of the clerical financiers had faith enough to receive that revenues of the Church in Jeff Davis' money, for, at the same Conference, when Rev. Mr. Sehon, who is agent of the society for foreign missions, stated how poorly the missionaries in China were supported, and asked of the Rev. Mr. McFerrin, the treasurer, how much money there had been in the treasury, at such and such dates in 1862, Mr. McFerrin replied with some emphasis, "there were at that time in the treasury, sixty thousand dollars (and here bewildered his voice) in Confederate money."

We advise the clergy to do better in future, when rebellions break out. They have no more right to run after new governments than their flocks have to run after new religions. What would they say to the men and women who are committed to their pastoral care, bolting in posthaste after Mormon-

factured in Cincinnati or vicinity, there is one hundred dollar's worth made in St. Louis, and that of a quality superior in every respect to theirs.  The same thing applies to Massachusetts, whose manufacturers are compelled to offer their goods at a low figure in consideration of their inferior (and almost worthless) quality. [[Numberene?]] ware is to day sold at a less price in Chicago and St. Louis than it is in Boston. Of Oak Ware

We are the largest manufacturers in the United States, and these goods, together with the products of the 
ST. LOUIS
PINE AND CEDAR WORKS,
(in St. Louis,) and the 
MANASHA WOODEN-WARE FACTORY
Of Wisconsin, (in Chicago) we can furnish at the lowest possible figures.
We would respectfully suggest to every one visiting the cities of St Louis or Chicago, to pursue the same course with regard to their purchases of Wooden-ware and Cordage as they would do in the cities of New York, Boston, or Cincinnati, viz: to purchase of those who make a specialty of this branch of business, and not rely upon their grocery houses for their supplies, whose stocks must of necessity be limited.
We will be glad to see all who may favor us with a call, and when persons desiring to purchase cannot visit either Chicago or St. Louis, or both, we will cheerfully furnish them with catalogue and pricelist.
Our business is strictly cash, hence all orders from those with whom we are unacquainted must be accompanied with a draft for the probable amount of the order or satisfactory city references.  In all cases remittances must be promptly made on receipt of invoice.
All orders filled at lowest cash prices when shipped without reference to previous quotations. Goods at owner's risk after being shipped.
