mittce of Vigilance, at San Francisco, after
having, as they claim, from The necessity of
selt-delence, and in the absence of any ade-
quate protection from the laws, taken into
their hands the administration of summary
justice against criminals and having made
strong impression upon the lawless mem
bers OF the community, now believe that their
functions are less necessary; and they are
cooperating with the regular authorities, by
tnrning over to them the suspected persons
whom they arrest; thus showing that their
course, questionable and startling as il is, 10
the inhabitants of regulated community,
has been dictated BY no factions or unprinci-
pied opposition TO the laws, but by sense
of duty to themselves, their families and the
public, who, without strong arm of support,
could net have continued much longer 10 be
an organized commands. Ii is 10 be hoped
that no such necessity will recur; and that,
under the regular administration of justice,
the perpetrators of the recent enormiIies in
the way of robbery, arson and murder will be
effectually epressed.-PrOridence Herald.

a good many are found Of The same opinion
in other paris of our glorious Union. Late
developments in the region above the line Of

depois near the shore of The Straits, and the
news by The last Oregon mall is TO the effect
that hundreds of northern neighbors are about
TO take up their quarters in what have been
deemed by certain creduous people, part
of her Majesty's dominions. II appears how
ever, that the royal power of England has
determined TO defend these mines from in
trusion, by calling the entire force upon the
Pacific coast to rendezvous at this point; and
if the attempt is made to Dust the occupants,
we may find some new elements in the Press

clan wots not of at present. The Sandwich

English Established Church.

The sums received by the disniarics of this
establishment have been differently stated !;
but recent English paper gives them cor
reclly as follows. The salaries were revised
and fixed by law in 1887. The two primates
of Canterbury and York, and twenty three
bishops receive 1927 900, or on an average
S21 900 each per annum. But il seems
there are some fees. perquisites. falings in
of estates, &c., which have raised the sum
total of their incomes for 1850, including
that Of the new bishop Of Manchester, 10
S995,000; giving TO each an average of $685.
600; $4,000 more than the salary Of the
American President. Their duties are 10
preach and deliver charge occasionally, and
10 vote in the House Of Lords.
The whole cost of this church per annum,
including It's own incomes from land, dona-
tons, &C., is abou. S9l 100000 few mil
lions less than the expenses of the general,
State, city, and town governments Of the
United States all combined. In addition 10
the support of this church, the hish nation,
and the Engish and Scotch dIssenters main
tain theiI several churches. The total cost
we are unable to state. But notwIthstand-
ing this great outlay, there is general and
constant complaint that the established
church provides very inddequately for the
spiritual wants ot Tue people; large pOr-
ton of whom attend no religious worship.
IL would not be easy to predict the time
when this corrupt union between Church
and State, by which Christianity has been
50 much debased, will be brough, to an end.
But there seems TO be an increasing disrelsh
of the whole system, which will some day
lead TO lis overthrow.
The comparison between these great
Church Lords immersed in luxury, and their
master, who when on earth, had not where
TO lay his head, is sufficiently striking; and
such overgrown prelates must be able TO
preach with peculiar efficacy, against the
love of Mammon, the pomps and vanties Of
life, and the solicitations of the world, the
flesh and the devil. These preIates furnish
the greatest satire exianl upon Christian hu-
mility. tits no more than just to add that
among the inferior clergy of the establish
ment are included many excellent persons,
who adorn the Christian name Some Of
the bishops, the Summers for example,
preach well; but their humility seated in
coach and six does not furnish the right kind

CONFERENCE.-The fated circle seems to
De narrowing with each successive year

Slowly conhning him within stricter bounds.
In eecn reformation in the organic law OF
she individual States, the marx Of separation
an. u'sunclness Is more deeply branded up
on the negro. Our own State submitted the
question 10 popular vote, and an oyerwhel-
ming majority declared the colored race nm.
worthy OF political equality. In Conoect-
icut. the result was the same. While in In
diana, at a late election, the restriction has
been yet more marked, and it is declared
that mo negro or mulatto shall come into or
settle in the State and the Tribune declares
It's belief that the same proposition, in like
manner submitted 10 direct and naked pop
uIar vote, would prevail in every Free State
of the Union.' In Ohio the stringency Of the
Black Code is well known.
While the people have thus defined their
position by the passage of laws, the uncon-
qmefable prejudice OF feeling against the AT
rican race that prevails so universally in the
United States. has gone on unchecked. and
is making itself felt in the common conduct

Eccentricities of Macaulay.

Mr.. Reah, the London correspondent Of
the Inverness Courier, says
There is common pedestrian in Lon
don streets, well known to all who are ac-
quainted with their nolabilties. He Is a
short, stout, sturdy, energetic man. He has
a big round face, and large, staring, and very
bright hazel eyes. His hair is cut short, and
his hat flung back on the crown Of his head.
His gait is firm and decided, with a little
touch Of pomposity. He is ever provided
with an umbrella, which he swings and
hourishes, and batters 90 the pavement with
mighty humps. lie seems generally alb
sorned In exciting and impulsive thought,
'ne traces oil which he takes no pains to con-
ceal. It's face works, his lips move and

Is y ms inquire, and not particularly fine the
ieatures, there Is an unmis,akabe air of
fhehlai power and energy, approaching to
grandeur about the man. He is evidently
under the influence of the strong excitement
OF fiery thought. People gaze curiously AZ
HIM, and stop 10 stare when he has passed.
But he heeds 10 no one-seems. indeed. IN
have utterly forgotten that he is not alone in
his privacy, and pushes on, unwilling Of the

Macaulay.
Occasionally, however. the historian and
poet gives still freer vent to the mental i'm
pulses which appear to be continually work
ing within him. A friend OF mine lately
recognized him dining in The coffee-room of
the Trafalgar Hotel al Greenwich-a fash
ionable white -bait-house, which, it appears,
he frequently patronizes. He was alone, as
he generally is, and the attention of more
than one of the company was attracted by
his peculiar mutteriDg and fdgetiness, and
by The mute gestures with which he ever
and anon illustrates his mental dreamings.
All at once-it must have been towards the
climax of the prose or verse which he was
working up in his mind-Mr. Macaulay
seized massive decanter, held tia moment,
suspended in the air, aud then dashed it
down upon the table with such hearty good
will that the solid crystal few about 10 lrag>
ments, while the numerous parties dining
round instInctIvely stared at the curious in

MIR. Macaulay, who was well known to the
walters, called loudly for his bill to be made
out at the bar, and then pulling with cou-

taken verbatim from the address of the uni

harbor bill Of the last congressional session !;
finding that all their outcry had failed 10 con-
vince the people that our party was blam-
cable in the matter they have taken the back

priations founded upon examinations made
by competent and disinterested public OFF,

being the sole reason for the refusal of the
democracy in congress TO vote for the bill in
question.

ted in the act of crawling into his orchard
