deIphia U. S. Gazette.
Changes in The Cabinet.-T'herc are
rnnors of changes in the Cabinet. We
take but little notice of them. The worst
that we see limited at, is a removal of
Judge Upshur from the Navy Depart
mcnt, to the Department of State. may
be all Increase of honors to the Secretary,
aud he may discharge well the duties of
the place; but the Nauy Department
needs permanent head. The plans for
The management Of the great concerns of
the Navy should be carried out by those
that form them; and Judge Upshur has
commenced arrangements which are not
yet complete, and which consequently
require his personal observation. We
suppose, II we would wish the Secretary
well, we ought 10 wish him on the other
eide OF the White House--but we are
thinking of Tie Navy.

THE MCKENZIE CASE.

A correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser says that it is
understood at Washington that the deci-
sion Of the count Martial in the case OF
Commander Mackenzie is an honorable
acqul'tal' land that the distinguished head
Ct The Navy Department will advocate
the confirmation of the decree and the
maintenance of the diciplne of the navy;
and it is believed that the distinguished
head of another department, influenced
by parental feeling, for which due allow
ance must be made, will be led to use
all his powerful influence and direct all
tile energies Of his acute intellect, to pro-
cure the disapprobalIon of the Executive
An issue will ttus be formed, which will
throw brand of discord into the
Cabinet. Strong, however, as may be
The appeal and specious as may be the ar
gumrnt used to produce such u result,
have great confidence in the inllexible in
tcg!ily of the Secretary Of the Navy, and
the immoveable frmness of the President;
and the country may rest satisfied that
both will unite to uphold the sanctity OF
the law, and sustain the discipline of the
Navy"

Mr.. EpIToE:
An impression seems

An Impression seems to
prevail in Elkton, and perhaps elsewht re,
that the members OF Tie Episcopal Church,
as body, are opposed to the progress Of
the temperance reform.
This imputalion is highly unjust, and
the public mind should be Set right upon
the subject.
As an evidence, take the solemnly expires.
sed opinion of the Clergy ana Laily OF
the Diocese of Maryland, set tullh in
Resolutions adopted by convention OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church If Mary
land, held in the city Of Baltimore in May
1888. Task the taror of your columns
to publish said resolutions. they are IN
these words:
vt was on motion reSolred, That the
members of this convention have witness
ed with great satisfaction, the progress OF
the Temperance Reformation, and that it
be rccomme nded 10 all the members Of
the church in this Diocese, to favor and
advance the temperance cause, and to af-
ford it the benefit Of their example and in
lucnce.
Resolved, That, in the opinion Of this
convention, the traffic in ardent spirits,
and the use Of it as drink by professors
'of,religion,is great hinderaucc to the pro-
gross Of the temperance reformation, and
ought to be relinquished,
The dDove resolution. passed ten
years ago, should in my opinion be ia
ken as all evidence of the friendly dispo-
si'ion Of the Episcopa! Church in Mary
land TO le temperance reformation.
There were present al this convention
Ihirty-thGee Of the Clergy, and lhir;y-four
lay delegates from the different churches
Of the State, the vcnerabls Bishop Stone

The late March SHOWS covered sections
Of western New York to an extraordlnp-
rs height. The Rochester Post thus des-
cribes The appearance of the snow in that
vicinity:
We rode out few miles on the Au-
burn Railroad on Monday, to look at tire
snow hills through which the company
have dug open their track. 1t was a
strange sight for this latitude, and we
could not but ask ourselves what would
a Railroad be worth in those sections OF
country, where such SHOWS are of com
mon occurrence.
We cannot tell why, but we were
constantly thinking of the passage Of the
lsraesites out of Egypt,as The cars darted
through the narrow excavations, just wide
enough for their passage, with pcrPcn-
dicular wall of snow on either side, some
times rising to the heigh. of twenty feet,
aud from which every now and then, as
The cars inclined, to either side, they
would shave 4 portion of the light snow,
which fell about them like a new show
er. Such was the appearance on Mon
day. The rain on Tuesday gave them
the appearance of walls of water. and the
sudden fall of temperature last evening
have converted them into masses Of ice.
Such are the changes from hour to hour
which this strange season has produced.
