DEATH OF REV. SYLvANUs Com, ID. D.
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb, died at his residence in
East Boston Wednesday. He had been out of
health for some time, but until within a few
weeks was gradually recovering, when a re-
lapse took place, and he passed away at eight
o'clock on the morning of that day.
DIR. Cobb was born in Turner, Maine. He
studied for the ministry with Rev. Sebastian
Streeter He became pastor of the Universal
ist Society at Maiden thirty-eight years ago,
remaining in that Office ten years. In 1928 he
started the Christian Freeman, and he served
as editor thirty years. He was for many years
leader in the Temperance cause, and was
Identified with the anti-slavery movement, and
has long been considered as one of the ablest
theologians of the Universalist faith. AS
citizen he was respected and esteemed by all
who knew him. He was 6S years of age.

The SOUTHERN PREss.-The tone of the
Southern papers, since the elections substan-
TALLY decided the fate of the Presidents policy
has been sullen, refusing to accept the result
and etunable to suggest a means OF avoiding
it, The Richmond Times very well expresses
the prevailing idea on the subject of the amend
ment proposed by Congress, as follows:
Having seen no evidence or favor to the
constitutional amendment from any respecta-
BILE quarter in the South, we have felt no dis
position to discuss its merits. Southern opin-
ion cannot affect the destiny of the amendment,
as we cannot control a single vote in the North,
and can hardly lay claim even to an audience
of our views and wishes respecting this or any
other question of national politics. A discus
sion of the subject can only indicate differ
ence in Southern sentiment where none really
exists, or can exist, respecting measure so
utterly hostile to our interests and repugnant
to our sensibilites." .ft.,
The same paper however tries to taunt the
Presidents supporters in the North into inaug-
urating civil war here, and says:
"If the conservatives of the North are MT ut
terly destitute of all spirit; if they have not
been successfully bullied and completely cow
ed; if they are not unlike human beings else
where, the reign of terror which has been in
augurated over them must cause trouble. In
dications are not wanting that the conserve
tives do not mean to stand the treatment be-
slowed upon them like whipped spaniels.
"The beaten and overwhelmed minorities at
the North may have a vast deal more fortitude
and patience than we had, but it was just such
a spirit as now persecutes them which drove us
