The HHager Trial,

The trial Of the Rev E. w. Hager, Rec
tor of the Church of TIE Holy Communion,
in Chicago, is ye' in progress in this city.
Except what can be gained from some Of
the Chicago papers, the ropor tiers of which
have succeeded in getting the evidence by
some means, nothing can be learned in re-
gard to the doings before the ecclesiastical
court by outsiders. The city hall. in which
the trial is held, is guarded with the ut
most precaution, to prevent the intrusion of
eVe-droPpers. In fact, every effort is made
to keep the proceedings from the public,
but with what result let the columns of
Chicago papers tell.
The evidence elected during the last
week more that sustained the conclusions
arrived at in our last issue, concerning the
guils Of Mr.. Hager, and has occasioned a
boundless amount of gossip, especially E.
mOngst tho scandal-loving. Much of this
evidence is of character unfit for place
in respectable public journal. Indeed
1t does seem that some publishers delight
in catering to a vitiated taste in such mat
tars, but We have no inclination in that di.
rection.
If there were doubts about Mr.. Hager's
being an unfit person to officiate as a cler
| gyman in any church, at the commence
ment of tho week, all such doubts must tc
removed from candid minds by the eyi
dence which mas been published since tha
| time.
The Rev. Dir. Iager has been proven
guilty of conduct of character to debal
him not only from the sacred desk, 5u
from the society of the vir!uous and moral
1t is hoped, for the credit of the Episcopa
Church and the sake of chastity and SCUM,
morals, that the tribunal before which ht
is now arraigned, will administer him {
rebuke that will be lesson to offending
persons in the future.

To-day we have the pleasure of chronic.
linga most satisfactory Democratic victory
Th9 sterling Democracy of Chicago, at the
nun ipaI election on Tuesday last met the
enemies of the constitution aud the friends
of negro emancipation, and put them to
flight.
Tue regularly nominated Democratic
ticket headed by that uudefatigible Demo-
crat and honest man, Hon F. c. Sherman,
was triumphantly oleated. The Democrats
elected large majority of the ward officers
and nearly twO-thirds of the common cOun-
Gil.
The vote was very large, reaching near
ly twenty-one thousand, AID being an in
crease over the vote at the last general
election of over five thousand.
Never were there witnessed a more oxct
ing or spirited contest than that witnessed
in Chicago on Tuesday. Business Of most
kinds was suspended, and both parties went
in with determination to win. The Abe
litIOnists were exultant at their prospect f
success and large sums of money were
staked on the result. 1t is stated that o

doubt but more than hundred thousand
liars have PASSED from Republican to
Democratic pockets since the announcement
of the Democratic triumph. Democrat

in years gone by.

do an account of the statutory bearing i
