Episcopal churches in the diocess of Philadel-

present disastrous condition of business affairs
"Oh, most mighty God King Of kings, and
Lord Of lords, without whose care the watchman
waketh but in vain, we implore, In this our time
of need, thy succor and blessing in behalf Of our
rulers and magistrates, and of all the people of
this land.
Remember not our many and great transgres-
sions turn from US the judgments which We feel
or fear; and give us wisdom to discern, and cour-
age to attempt, and faithfulness to do, aud pa
thence to endure whatsoever shall be WELL pleas
Ing in thy sight; that so thy chastenings may
yield the peaceable fruits Of righteousness and
that at the last We may rejoice In thy salvation
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"
go Lord, we beseech thee mercifully hear our
prayers, and spare all those who confess their
sins unto thee that they whose consciences by
sin are accused, by thy merciful pardon may be
absolved, through Christ our Lord Amen.''

HI horrible murder was perpetrated on
Wednesday night, at Loxley court, Philadelphia,
on woman nearly sixty years Of age, by her htis-
band, an old man named James Quigiy. She was
found dead upon bed with her husband drunk
lying at her side. In a corner was found a hatch.
ct with blood uPou 1t, bloody clothes were also
found on the premises. The wretched victim
had evidently been killed by blows upon he,
head with the Ratchet in the hands of her hus-
husband. The room they occupied was dingy,
squalid basement and in a condition filthy almos:
beyond belief. 1t is supposed that she must
have been already dead some twelve hours when

SPECIAL MINISTER FROM ENGLAND The New
York Times learns, through its London cores
Pondent, that the British Government has decided
to appoint special Minister 10 negotiate a set
uement Of the remaining differences between
England and this country in regard to Central
American Affairs. The appointment will take
place early next year, and possibly sooner Sir
VIM. Gore Ouseley, ID is believed, has been Sc
lected for this important service II so, the
Times thinks, the choice indicates on the part
OF the British Government, disposition to con-
DUCT this delicate and protracted negotiation TO a
peaceful and mutually satisfactory result.
SIR William Ouseley commenced his diplo-
matte career as attache to the British Embassy at
Washington some Thirty years ago. when he mar
r1ed q daughter Of the late Governor Van Ness of
Vermont. He has ever since manifested a steady
and intelligent interest in the affairs of this coun
try and has written several pamphlets on vari-
Gus topics connected with its current politics
He has been engaged in di pIomaiic service prin-
cipaliy In Brazil and the river Platte where his
action was so little in accordance with the views
Of Lord Palmerston as to render il a little singu
lar that lie should now be appointed to Office by
Ministry OF which that gentleman /, Premier
Sir William swell known to President Buchan
an, and will enter upon this negotiation under
circumstances Of peculiar promise. IL is under.
stood that, if successful in the negotiation here
he Will proceed at once 10 Central America.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS
The Int,lligeneer on re-publishing the very
recent correspondence between the Governor of
Maryland and the Mayor Of Baltimore with
reference to the preservation of peace of Balti-
more during the approaching State and Con-
gressional election there, together with Gov.
Lyons proclamation calling out the military to
that end, takes occasion to say: -.----f
ave, of the old Republican party, rfsed -
charge the Federalists with inndeiity to our free
institutions when they maintained that the peo-
pie were their own worst enemies Butthe rapid
growth OF crime, and the defiance of law and
order which have recently written the annals Of
our free country in blood would 90 a good way
10 prove that there was more truth in the imputed
Federal dogma than WIS conceded by their po-
utical adveTsaries- Pitched battles with fire.
arms now take place In our cities, not only in the
darkness OF night, when runianism was wont to
cloak Its crimes, but In open day, among citizens
OF the same town, and without any rational cause
that would Justify even fair round OF boxing
The untramnelled freedom Of elections, hereto
fore the boast Of our country, Is suppressed by
armed mobs and a man now advances 20 the polls
10 give his vote at the hazard OF his life As an
evidence of the lawlessness of the times. we give
the subloined Correspondence and a Proc lamation
Just issued by the Governor of the neig hborinp
State Of Maryland, who deems il necessary to
provide for the preservation OF the peace and the
protection Of the privileges Of the citizens Of Bal
timore, at the approaching election, by calling
out in advance, to be held in readiness, several
regiments of troops"
The Union applauds the act of Gov. Lyon
in calling out the military of Baltimore to pre-
serve the peace Of that city during the ap-
preaching Maryland election. and to insure to
Ill legal voters their political rights
The Union also republishes at length the
able and interesting speech lately delivered by
the Hon. Jefferson Davis at a public dinner
given in mis- honor at Mississippi.
