It is the only definit way in which the money can be raised and the most legitimate way, agin such acase the eutire commuulty would be Inter- ested in the Hbrary nnd Its wise manage ment would be guaranteed, en Tue announced resolution of cortain of * the residents of Fort Davis “to believe In tha Innocence of Liont, Fiipper, whatever the verdict of the court-martial may be,” borders very closely on the domuin of the burlesque, It assumes that the ofiicers of his regiment are capable of Joining ina erin inal conspiracy against him, and that there ts not one honorable man-aniong then. A pre sumption of innocence in behalf of IAleut. Flipper is proper aud commendable, but a presumption of guilt on the part of all his brother-oflicers fs not so clearly reasonableor. just. There are some suspicious elrcum- stances connected with Lleut. Flipper’s case that his friends will have difficulty in ex- pluluiug before tho court-martial. Mr. Scnunz would not be surprised at any time to learn of tho discovery of a ring in the Pension-(fice, “The most watelifat nan at the head of that bureau could not,” he says, ‘protect the Treasury, fur the ex- parte systein glyves so great an advantage to the fraudulent clalmant that the discovery of such practices is In most cases 9 matter of acchlent, Its almost Incredible, but strict- ly true, that undor existing Inws pension tlulins are adjudicated npon mere ex-parte evidence. ‘This is adlrect Invitation to fraud, and that fuyitation fias been very extensively accepted.” The statement that a ring has been found in the office happily proves to be premature, But jt is a mere question of thre and a short time-—when the existing sys- tem will produce rottenness and corruption in every departinent uf the pensions service. Te San Francisco Chronicle mates the direct charge thatthe recent outbreak of the Apaches in Arizona and thelr attack upon Gen. Carr’s command was entirely need- Jess and was precipitated by Agent 'I'liYany and Gen. Willcox, who commands the ite- partment, for the purpose of bringing on an Indian war with a view to speculation, and that the episode has already cost the ‘Terrl- tory a’mililon dollars and will cost stilt more, Itcondemus tho order to arrest the “medicine man”. who was promising “te raise the dead clilefy aud array them agalust the whites” ns absurd, and says: Itdoes not appear that thie“ medicine man” was really having any dungerans intluenco over the Indiana; certalnly not enough to precipitate awar. Tho latter preferred tu wult and seo what would come of these prodiviiong about resurrecting dead chiefs, Uf course, If the old Warriors were rajscd We posordiniy to promlac, that infxht be the siznul for war.

Dr, ‘Thomas iy charged with the guilt of heresy by his brethren, Drs. Hatileld and Parkhurst; and Dr. Parkhurst ischarged with the erlmes of defanmtlon and lying by hls brother Dr. Thomas, Wouldn't it be better, brethren, to turn your guns agatust the cumimon enemy, lis Satanic Majesty the Devil? ‘Tite objection to the conduct of the Demo- craté of the Senate ts not to the election by them of a President of tha Senate pro tem, if they have enough votes for that purpose, but tle objection is, that they excluiled three Senators, whose election ts uncontested, re- fusing to allow them to be sworn In, and thereby, while a minority, obtained the power by which they elected Bayard, ‘These three Senators had been elected during the recess to fill three yaeancles which lad oc- curred; of the election of these Senators to {11 these vacancies there was no question; thoir election was notorious, and thelr ere- —_—_——_——_ dentlals were presented and of record. But, as these three Setters were not allowed to be sworn In, they could not vote untll they had taken the oath of oflee, and thts the Demoerats, bulng in a majority tn the absence of those entitled to vote, refused them per- mission todu, By keeping tho three Senators outside the bar of the Senate the Demo- erats were for the moment in a majority of those admitted, and therefore vlected Bayard President pro tem, ‘The pretense that no onth of office could bo administered ton Sen- ater except by the Vice-President ora duly elected President pro tempore was not only false, but extremely shallow and dishonest, ns nearly all the precedents were ngalust It, There area but one or two cases where the ofilees of Vice-President and President pro tempore have beon both vacant at the same thine, the pratice having always been fer the Vice-President to vacate the chalr Just before the close a1 the session to enable thesenateto elect a President pro tempore, and thisofticer is declared to hold that office until otherwlse ordered’ by the Senate, When ‘Tyler and dotinson became Presidents by.tue death of Harrison and Lincoln, there was a President pro tempore of the Senate already In office, he having been elected at the precedl session, When Fillmore succeeded ‘Tuy- lor, the Senate was In seasion, oud tho Senate elected a Prestdent pro tem, On the td of March, 185t, the terms of office of one-third of the Senators explred, Including that of Mr. King, who was then President pro tem, of the Senate, ‘There were, uf course, clehteen to twenty Senators to be sworn Ju, and thera wus nelther Vice-President nor Prestdent pro tem.

Whatever we nay thtuk of Dr, Hntheld's manners, he at luast stated what he belleved Methodism to bo Ina sledgehammer way that admits of tro questioning or exyil, and that statement was recelyed and indorsed by the Surge majority of the conference, If Dr, Mat fielu’s views are correct, nnd Methodien ts what le states It to be, then there ‘fs nothing harsh or {ogieal in the expulsion of Dr, Thonn, He should go, and not atand upon the order of his going. 1 Dr, Hattield’s views of Methodist doctrine are correct, then Dr, ‘Thomus was not preaching them, and it is equally elear that he ennnot remain in the Chureh and preach the Ilat- fleldlan doctrines which have been pro- nounced good Methodism by the conference, While Dr. ‘Thomas may still think himself o good Methoulst, it 1s evident that there are some 200 of his olerical brethren of one con- ference who think ditferently. Dr. Thomas wnay be right; Hkewlse- the 200 may be ‘ right=and beth may be whoug; but the de- cision rests all the samo with the majority, and the majority de not believe aa ho tloes, Dr. ‘Thomas may think it fs hard to he pat ont of the Chueh, but his latebrethren would have thought it hard, perhaps, If he had rematned tn if, so. tint honors are ensy on that score, and also on the score that both sktes are sineoro tn thelr ylows, Fortunately, fn these days, Dr romans isin ne danger of fagot and fire or wearing the uneasy crown of a martyr for his heresy, ‘Thore Is nothing harsh fn his expul- sion, He can go out and organize 9 new church, and tho more eliurelies tie better, Ite will haven larger church than ever be- fore, and, better still, ta can preach what he believes to people who belleve ‘what ho preaches, and thus will have greater power and influence than ever before.

Who knows, therefore, whether If ha gors on with his work outsite the fold and watts patlently the fold may not in tine cone upto bly ground and accept a more Uberal ylow ? eo THOMAS AND PARKHURST. Dr. Thomas charged Dr. Parkhurst with (1) defamation of character and (2) lying. The charges were based upon aprinted Inter- view betw: Dr. Parkhurst and one Am- rose, 0 newspaper reporter for a clty papur, and an alleged denial thoreot by Parkiurst subsequently. ‘Ihe interview set forth that Parkhurst had) declared ‘Thomas could be put on trial for beerttrinking in saloons, vard-playlug, aud theatre-going, The dental subsequently made by Parklurst was, that he had hud no such conversation “with a reporter,” and had nuthorized no such pub- Heation, The prosecution contented Itself with sub- mnitting the aflidavits to sustain the charges, De. Parkhurst's defense consisted alinost en- tirely of hts own statement, ‘The whole caso was certaluly Informal, and amounted to Ht the more than an explanation on the part of Dr. Parkhurst of how he came to be a tale bearer on Dr, Thomus, Dr. Parkhurst admitted having had a con- versation with Ambroge on the day speeltied, in whieh Ambrose called upon hm for the grounds of the statement in his speech at ‘Thomas’ preliminary trial that “ grny-halred mothers were weeping over the, downfall of thelr song” ag a result of Dr. ‘Thomns? tenchings: Parkhurst sought to male good this statement, Io said that, one day when he had preached a strong temperance, or rather total abstinence, sermon, three per- sons—Arthur Dixon, L. W. ‘Turner, and an- other (name not glven)—oblected to Mts radleal, tectotal views, and were sald to lave told hin that * Dr, Thomas was In the habit of drinking aglass of beer at his lunch or dinner!’ He also sald that IM. a theatrical innunger, tried to Induce him (Parkhurst) to attent one of Denman ‘Thompson's pur- formances, and told him that the Reva, Collyer and Thomas had been to seo the amusing play of “Joshua Whiteamb.” Ho further sald that another person, whose uate he-refused to give, had told hiut of go- ing to ‘Thomas? house on one occasion where ha found some young people playlag a social game of cards In the parlor, ‘These things he (Parkhurst) had repented to tho “ bolie- imian? Atbrose, but did not know at the thne that Ambrose was 0 newspaper re porter, aud henee did not Ite when he sald sitbseanently that he “had no sneh talk with a newspaper reporter.” ‘This was about al there was to the trial, except that It camo out that Ambrose had been pretty generally known at Lake Blut asa reporter fur a Chi- eago paper for several year, ‘The fact seems to be, then, that Dr. Parke rst repented these hearsay storles about Dr. Thomas, but did not orlginate them; that he was merely a tute-bearer; that he re peated them without warrant, seems to bon proper Inference fiom tho fact that Dr. Parkhurst made no effort to verify thelr truth elthor before or at the trial, Whether or not hls denial of the Interview with a re- porter, which was construed to cover nde nial of the whole affair, was an evasion or prevarieation seeins to. Le still a matter open tu consideration, Itmay be that Arthur Dixon and others said that Dr. ‘Thomas had drank a glass of beer with bis lunch. Lt may be that Dr. ‘Thomas, who Is aiman of slight frame and delicate health, ling drank a glass of beer at same time with hls meals to give him strougth. Would such a fact warrant Dr. Parkhurst in saylng jn a genoral and of- teasive way that Dr, ‘Thomas was in the hablt of “drinking beer in salvos"? Would the drinking of a glass of beer for dletette purposes warrant the expulsion of Dr, ‘Thomas from the Methodist Church? ‘There are five or dix German Methoitst churches in Chicago, Doves Pr. Parkhurst think that none of the German members ot these churehes evar drink beor? If, on the contrary, tho German Methoulists follow the national habit of drinking beer at thelr ments, does Dr. Parkhurst mulntatn that they ought ta be excummunteated en masse from tho Methodist Chureh? As to eard-playing, it seems thot Dr, Parkhurst's tiformation was, that a nimnber of young peoply had been seen playing cards in tho house whore Dr, ‘Thomas ved, Jt la known that Dr. Thomas for o considerable ‘tine boarded Inn lirge house where there were nommnber of other boarders, Would tbe falr to hold Dr, Thomas responsible for o social guine of ‘cards by youngsters at a boarding-house? ‘There Is no hint or Insin- ation that they were playing for any larger atakes thin tor fun and mmusement. Was Dr. Parkhurst warranted In teltlng that Dr, "Thomas could be tried for eard-playing be- cause sume chiltven had been playing “old innid”? tna house where be. bowdad 2 The remurk that * Dr, ‘Thomas was tn the habit of going to the theatre" was shuilarly based pan hoary vvidence—the statement aCone aman that Dr, ‘homas had been to the theatre once, on whieh ocension he saw "Joshua Whitcomb" from a private box whore he Iingelf was not observed, (And we wish to Inform owe Methodist friends that HI was right in saying to Parkhurst thut the ply was half as Kou as a sermon, It 1s mores tender and pathotte in some of the acts than any sermon ever preached by the itdv, 2.) Tho Discipline of the Methodist Chureh ts yery strlet as to drinking, eard-playlng, und theatre-going. Such practices aro regarded ay yory reprehensible and blameworthy. ‘Thon it wos certululy a serlouy matter to charge them openly upon a minister of the Church, Such charges becanie even more se- tious when they.were made nenlnst one jnin- ister by another minister, Yot It seems that Dr, Parkhurst made them freely, nut alone upon hegrsay evidence, but upon remarks which did not Inthnate that Dr, Thomas was fn the habit of drinking, playing cards, and yolng ty the theatre as a practice. “Lh alyo appears that 1 rst admitted on li trint that he had madesuch statements about Thomas, bat did not undertake to substantl- ate tham. 11s only defense, In point of fret, was that he did not orlginate the charges: which he repented and did not farnish them lo n reporter for pudileation, Upon this case tho Jury in the Parkhurst trial—tho committea represanting’ the Meth- odiat Conferenco—brought in a verdlet of acquittal, unanlmously exonerating Dr. Parkhurst of alauder ag well as of lying. "This was certainly wecnrlous disposition of a serious matter, ‘The elfeet of such atrial and such 9 verdict will not bo to make Dr. Thomas appear’ any blacker to falrminded Methodists, nor to condemn drinking, card: playing, and theatre-golng more than these practices were condemned before; butitcan hardly fail to create tho Impression that enre- tess defainatton of character Is not regarded by the Churel authorities naa matter of much consequence. Upon the warrant of this trial’ good Methodists may fairly cone elude that they cannot be helt accountable for repeating to their neighbors anything which theythear {1 derogation of the ehar- acter of even brethren in chureh, Slander thus takes on an entiraly new meaning, 1b may still bo slander to invent seaudalous stories, but, It Is not slander to give then currency tu private conversation, ‘This is not the rile whtel had prevailed in the Methodist Ghurch in Itnols up to this time, The Parkhurst caso ought to hava been tried on its! merlts, without reference to the ‘Thomas heresy case, which seems not to have been done, ———_— A OURIOUS CAREER. Tho Parls correspondent of the London Tones, in noticing tho recent death of the English Baroness Elienboraugh in that city, revives some memories of her vory remarka- ble career which suggest thelr own moral, Jane Elizabeth Ellenvorough, who in her time wns greatly admired, married the Baron Eltenvorough at the age of 17, ie was a mun of fine attainments, but of overweenlng. self-concelt, and was so emphatic in the as- sertion of. It that he would never consult the wishes or rights of any one about lin, not even of his own wife, Ils dlary was recent> ly published, and Ets erttleisms of his con- temporaries are as bitter as Carlyle’s, and there was not an office in the Government whitch he dil not believe he could fill better than Its oeerpant. Ife even cx- pressed . surprise that George LY. did not admit him to bls soelut con. fidence. Ag to lis wife, he never mentioned her at all, ‘Ten years after thelr marriage, the House of Lords granted them a divorce, ‘rhe separation did not trouble him at all, for his marriage never Interested lil, and the coldness towards his wife haw grown Into aversion at the thie ofthe divoree, After it, he continued In hls publle career and made some notoriety in the Viceroyatty at Caleut- ta, but finally died while still wondering why the Goverment did not appreciate him at his own estimate, and in his death prob- ably passed away the most egotistical man in England, The Baroness Ellenborough took aslngular method of avenging herself upon her own destiny. She was grentty adudred In En- glish suelety, and might have taken ws prom- {nent position, but she. deliberately threw Y away all her opportunities and saeriiiced the esteem she enjoyed sud the position sho might lave held, She disappeared from public view, and wight have renalned for- ever out of sight had it not bean for M, Ed- mond About, the briliiant French writer, who found her In Athens, after she had fed a career of dissipation In various parts of Europe. He ebronteled her adventures in one of his volumes, When he found her in Athons she was -tho nilstress of a Gr soldler, who soon tired of her and renounced her, Uer next allegiance was given to 9 brigand, but, either his wild Ife not suitine her or his trentinent of her becoming tne tolerablo, she exchanged lim for s Bedouln, who had already n large harem which he used to carry with him on lis desort jour neys, ls principal peentinrity was his aversion to water, for he never washed hin- self, She soon tired of traveling about the dlesert, and remained in Damascus, while her dirty lord made his predatory Journeys with the remainder of the harem, Ils cared nothing for ber, and she less’ for ln, but she could not got away, for she font herself in condition of slavery. One day, however, her unwashed Bedouin died, and she was relensed from servitude, ant went back to clyilized society in Parts, but it would have nothing to do with her, and at list she died In obscurity, leaving several Protestant and Mussulman children, She sought notoriety and found obseurlty. Like Lady’ Hester Stanhope, sho expected to dazzle the workd with her reputation, but, unlike her, she had too muny stains upon her character te accomplish It, Disap- potntad in her married ie, she evidently determined to sever all recollections of it by going. to tho opposit ex- trema and effaee ull recollections — of elyilizution and seelal fushtons by hunting up fresh experiences In savage life; but alt Inviin, for when released from them her destiny hurried her baek to her awn cond tlons, but too late, for the workd In which she had ance moved had forgotten her and dtd not care te be reminded of her again, Her fife atter hur divorce was as much of a dle nppolotinent as her: Hfe had been during marriage. She only Cound that if she could get along without the world the world could get along without her. So ler whole life was wreeked, and no compensation cme to her, the usual outcome of such freaks of posston, With every opportunity before hor of taking a ich position in Knglish so- elety, and at being more adinired than ever, she sought to avengo herself upon her cfr cumstances, lived in wretchedness, and died in ebscurity.

Wo print this morning a communiention from a gentleman: well Informed as to tha facts eoncerning tho diiferential duties now charged by the United States lariif upon cor- tain elusses of merchandise the product of countrles cast of the Caps of Good Hope, when Imported into the United States from ports west of the same cape, This has been tho law of the United States from tho carllest date, and Is a relic of the barbarous navign- tion Inws of that time. Holland had largo aud extensive colonies In the Enst Indies, and Holland was a great commercial nation, The productions of theso colonies were brought to Tolland, and thence sold to tho other countries of the world. In orderto compo! this trade to be enrrled on in Dutch vesauls Holland levied nn export duty on all Enst Indian productions when the merchan- aise was carried in ‘othor than Dutel vessels, ‘This was‘part of the protective system of former days, and has its advocates even in these days of modern enlightomment. When tho United States formed its tari it “retalinted’? by imposing an addittonal duty of 10 per cent on all Kast Indian prod- uels when Inported to this country from any port eust of the Cape of Goud Mope. in pointof fret, Holland levied an export duty on all East Indian productions when not carried in Dutely vessels, and the United States levied a differential duty of 10 per cent when Enst Indlan goods were imported In Duteh vessels. In other words, the Duteh attempted to play the hog, and were prompt- ly met by an equally hoggish proceeding on the part of this country. For moro than half a century the two countries malntained this aggressive retaliatory leg- Istatlon, seemingly unconscious of the e: treme absurdity on both sides. In 1855 there was commercial treaty made between the United States and the Netherlands, at which time both countries had become somewhat ashamed of this retaliatory busivess, but had not the courage to nbandon ft. But they included In the treaty that when either coun- try should repen! its differential dutics the other would promptly do the same. After twenty years’ longer experience tho Duteh Government, in 1874, abolished the dutles on its part, and culled upon the United States to do the same, ng agreed upon in the treaty of 1855. But, owlng to other business, Congress has failed to tuke the necessary ac- tion, Seeretary Sherman calted the utten- tlon of Congress to the propriely and duty of carrying out the treaty obligation by re- pealing tho retaliatory dutles hnposed by our tarltt, ‘Thoobject of the writer of the com- miuantcution on this subject in this morning's ‘TriuNne Is to point out that for seven yeurs Congress hus neglected this obligation of the trenty of 18%, ‘The Untted States stands in relation to this subject of dlfferential duties towards Spain somewhat as it has stood fornearly a century with Iollaut, Spain is ons of the countries which cling to the old and exploded system of navigation Inws with ng much devotion as the United States. She levies an enor: mous duty on all merchandise linported Into Cuba In any other than a Spanish vessel. Flour can be taken hence to Spatu and thence to Cuba Ina Spanish vessel at one- half the cost that itcan be taken for direct to Cuba In an Amorican’ vesgel. Woe export mmerchandise to Cuba worth about $15,000,000 annually, and import goods costing $90,000, oo, All this tradu our vessels lose becnuse of the selfiah duties limposed by Spain. Our exports might be doubled or’ quadrupled it the two Governments could mutually abolish these differential duties, wlitel are only applicable to trade with this country, Cuban ‘merchants haye to go to Europe to buy what they might moro convenlently buy In New York, Baltimore, or Phitadelphia, Our Consul at Matanzas writes to our Government that the Spanish Government ts prepared to refyrm the Cuban tarlif and abolish the special duties, provided the United States will repeat the byw which diserlminstes agalnat goods Imported fn Spanish bottoms, All commereo between the United States‘ and Cuba ts now carried on tn British or othor European vessels, Spain and the United States belng exeluded by thelr own hostile legisiniion, 1¢ the United States would repeal the anti-Spanish dikeriminations, the Consul writes, “there would be 9 constant stream of Spantsh ves- sola to the United States, and the low rates of freight which they ara in tha habit of charging would be enjoyed by the American exporter, ns they are now by Europeans.” Here ts an oppoitunity for the Secretary of State. Let him have the justica dono to Holtand whieh has beon so long delayed, nnd let hin at once negotiate with Spain to place the commiorelal relations of the two countries on a civilized basls, .
