DEATH OF THE REV. DIR. BETHUNE

Tho RevsGeorge w. Bethnne, ID. d.. the distin-
guished clergyman Of this city, died at Florence,
April %, in the 5sth year Of biz age. He was born
in the City of New.York, and in 1896 when scarcely
ono and twenty years old, entered the
Presbyterian ministry Of the Church, but
shortly sfterward transferred his relations 10

settled in Rhinebeck whence, in few years, he re-
moved to Utica and in 1884, accepted pastorate in
Philadelphia. In 1919, he became the minister OF a
church in Brooklyn, where he remained for about
ten years resgnng his office on account OF ill-health,
and making a visit to Europe for the fourth time.
On his return, be became associate pastor Oh the
church in Twenty-First street, New-York. but his
health again failing, be saed for Europe during the
ast year. and had reached Florence short time be-
fore his death. DR.. Bethune had attained consider
able distinction as an author, both in prose
and verse. Among bis writings are the
Fruits Of the Spirit" Early Lost-Early
Saved" "History of Psnitept,' and a col.
lection Of sermons and occasional addresses.
He aso published volume Of poems entitled Lays
of Love and Faith" beside several separate hymns
aud devotional pieces Of great merit. AS public
speaker, he WIS bold, eloquent, and impressive.
Few excelled him in the felicity and point Of bis oc
casional addresses or could deliver an impromptu
discourse with more admirable effect. He was sim

and sportive wit, that gave pungent zest to bis

excellent man. although, in the opinion of many, he
carried his conservative principles TO an extavagant
length

A we'll informed diplomatist, whose duties
require him to read the Lndtpenda~cs Bslgs,
wishes to state these facts-that said journal
is thoroughly in tho interest Of the Secession
lists; that many of its correspondents arc con-
troable by sinister influences; that it is hostile
TO Louis Napoleon, and always eager to say
what will prejudice the French Empire; and
that it is often stopped at the Paris post
Office.
All thess being conceded, they do not shake
our conviction that the Beige has warrant for
reporting that Louis NapOleon--in conjunction
with Great Britain. if her cooperation can be
had-is about to make . decided demonstra'
ton toward tho termination of our Civil War,
unless he shall be sensonably convinced that it is
about to stop of ITSELF What he will propose

cert saloons, ventured upon deiyiDg the new
Concert Saloon law, and were thereupon ar

Recorder Hoffman for writs of habeas corpus

cases of the two prisoners were duly argued
by counsel, and the Recorder took the papers,

explicit answer to this question:
suppose the Legislature of your State should iegsss
Slavery therein would you appeal for redress to rebellion OF
the ballot. boz ~
We have already tried to make plain that
we do not regard rebellion as necessary or
proper where Freedom Of Speech and Of the
Press, with Trial by jury, and liberal Right
Of Suffrage exist.
The readlest appeal against an unjust or
oppressive law is to the Courts, whereby its
validity is tested; the next is to the people
through the Press, Public Addresses. and the
Polls. The Judges e1pound the law; Juries
have also an important function to fulfill, and
are generally found faithful. still further
appeal lies from twelve men in the jury.box to
millions nt the ballot-beI. Still beyond that
stretches the Right Of Revolution; but we
cannot realize that those who enjoy the Right
of Suffrage ever need appeal to that for the
redress of their oarn wrongs. We are not so
certain that tho systematically. .dsfranchised are
debarred from resort to it in every possible
