"AII the Decency."

The Republican Radical leaders make great
pretension TO the possession of great ''moral
ideas, )" to personate decency, and feel at liberty
to complain of the coarseness of the President in
his sharp rejoinders TO those set apart TO insult
him on his tour to the West. Better perhaps,
for the President to have borne those studied
taunts and insults, that to have answered them
he has but be that as II may it is but fair to
put upon the record some of the ten thousand un
just attacks upon the Executive, an6 upon the
policy of the Administration. '.
SIN Wednesdays session of the Radical (so-
called Loyal( Convention at Philadelphia, a reso-
luton was offered requesting tho President to re-
sign, when voice was heard: ''No need of him
to rcsign-Chicago will save him that trouble

Yates, ofIllinois, at Philadelphia threatens civil
war, and promises 500, 900 troops from this State

General SChoficld

Major General SchoGeld commanding DEPART
ment of Virginia, headquarters at Richmund,
has made the significant move of taking up his
residence at the avoved Rebel hOtcl-the E1-
change. The Union citizens Of that city have
been led by this and similar indifferent acts to-
wards loyal sentiments to indulge in no fiatter-
ing comments of this new commanding officer.
We find the above in the philadelphia Ecening
B4i'etin of yesterdays date, as telegraphic de-
spatch from Washington 1t appears that the
Radicals desire to establish new military code
by which officers Of the army are to govern not
alone their actions and their dress but their diet
and their places of residence If General Scho-
field be called upon to live at any particular ho-
tel, why should he not be compelled TO eat his
mutton frcm the carcase of sheep that had ncv-
or eaten Southern grass; his hcrses be fed on oats
reaped in loyal Vermont, and have lis bcaad
trimmed by some Dutch barbarian who had
fought Unit Siegel?' Where is this impertincnt
and al surd interference with the private affairs
Of gentlemen to end? Is an officer in the army
be compelled to spend his paltry pay only in the
manner pleasing to newspaper critics9 Is he to
be compelled to pay exhorbitant board and dwell
in uncomfortable quarters because the landlord
off certain hotel claims to be more loyal than his
neighbors, or it may be in the particular house
favored and frequented by, morning, noon and
night, by hungry Radicals and denouncers of his
commando This thing was tried here
in Baltimord under the tyrannlcal rule OF Schenck
who offered all the officers of the army to leave
Darnum's, because one of the clerks of the cstab
lishmont was accusud ofdisloyslty; but we are
proud to remember that his order was disregard
ed by one field offices at least who sent the Gem
eral word that when he undertook to pay his
board he would take into consideration his re-
Communications to change ofquarters. General
Schofcld is n gallant soldier and true man, and

Daniel Bryan's Oath.

Daniel Bryan had been a lawyer of eminence,
but had fallen, through intoxication, to beggery
and dying condition Bryan had married in
his better days the sister of Moses FELTON,.
At length all hopes were given up. Week nf

floor, and not a dny of real sobriety marked his
course. doubt ifsuch another case was known.
lie was too low for conviviality, for those whom
he would have associated with would not drink
with him.
All alone in his office and chamber he still con-
tinued to drink, and even his very life seemed
the offspring of his jug.
In early spring Moses FELTON, had call to 20
to Ohio. Before he set out, he visited his sister.
He offered TO take her with him, but she would
not go. ..... ..... ...
"But why stay here2' urged the brother

Why should you live with such brute?''

wife, keeping back her tears. al will not leave
him now, but he will soon leave me. lie cannot
live much longer.'
At that moment Daniel entered the apartment.
He looked like a wanderer from the tomb. He
had his hat on and his jug in his hand. "Ah,
Moses, how are ye?" he gasped, for he could not
speak plainly.
The visitor looked at him few moments in
silence. Then, as his features assumed a cold,
expression, he said in strongly emphasized
tone, 'Daniel Bryan, | have been your best
friend but one My sister is an angel though

4 Case e gf Horrible AfrectioniI.

christian stewardship. va

Ny thoughts have been much exercised of late
upon this subject; our obligations to God and his
cause in the right use of our property; and while
absorbed with reflections Upon this matter a few
days since, I came across two interesting ,docu-
ments, each containing a bright and Instructive
example upon tis very point. The first document
is a tract published by the American Babtist Pub
LEGATION Society, entitled "Memeir of Nathaniel
Ripley Cobb, a Christian merchant who died in
Boston, May %, 1884 in tbrty-sixth year of his
age, with resolutions, under the influence Of
which he gave away more than forty thousand
dollars" Let us give brief extracts from this
document:
In November ls2!, Mr.. Cobb drew up and SUBJ
scribcd the following very remarkable docn-
meut
!'By the grace of God will never be worth
more than $50, 900. .-.t...-.-..! !....
'3y the grace of God will give one-fourth of
the net pr Gifts of my business to charitable and
religious uses. ..
s'if am ever worth $50, 900, will give three
fourths, and the whole after $50, 900, So help
me God; or give to more faithful steward, and
set me aside. .'
t'Noy. el. - ..tr ru.-i. n. II. C0BB."
To this covenant he adhered with concientions
fidelity He distributed the profits ofhis business
with an increasing ratio, from year TO year,, till
he had reached the point which be had fixed MS
a limit Of his property, and then he gave 10 the
cause of God all / he money which he earned. At
one time, finding that his property had increased
beyond $50, 600, he at once devoted the surplus
S7,5CO, to the foundation ofa Professorship in
the Newton Theological Institution; 10 which we
may add, he gave, ON various occasions during
bis life, at least twice that sum. S, scrupulous
was be in his adhetence to the covenant which
he had made, that when peculiar circumstances
required him to retain in his possession more than
$780, be consulted judicious friends, whether
he might do so consistently with the spirit Of bis
pledge, provided he always held the surples as
really belonging 10 the cause of God. Here is
the secret of that wonderful liberty which cheer
cd so many hearts, and gave vigor TO 20 many in
stitutions and plans Of benevo!encc. 1t sprang
frt m steady religious principle. 1t was fruit
of the Holy Spirit Ele always felt that God had
bestowed on him rich blessing, in enabling him
thus 10 serve his cause. '
On his denth-bed he said to friend in allu-
sion to the resolutions quoted above: by the

resolutinns, TO give away more than $40, OOO.-

Mr.. Beecher, Rev. DR.. Tying, and monitor Wor-
den, (the two last out to-day, no wonder the
Trijunes puzzled and troubled.
There is comfort however, left in ThGd. Ste-
vcns, who in Speech at Bedford Pa. the first
in this canvass announces his intention to return
in the next Congress TO the policy which at the
late session he reluctantly sacrificed for the sake
OF obtaining some practical measures. We
quote;
THAT suherh contempt of mnanuess in great
Offices, which Mr.. Stevens has much cause to
cherish, he has rarely expressed with more force
than in his speech as, for instance, where he
speaks Of the President single apostate,
counting Mr.. Raymond and his comrades MS moth
ing. We expected no less of Mr.. Stevens than
that he would renew, at the next session his bold
and radical policy of restoration. He does not
give up his principles. The territorial status of
the South, the right of confscatioh, and Impair
tial suffrage are the elements of his creed, and
he declares that popular or unpopular, shall
stand by it till am relieved of the improbable
labors of earth Pennsylvania has reason to be
proud of this man."
Does the Tribune mean this2 Docs il know
