The trial of Rev. s. Fl. Tying. Jr, CON-
menced before the Board of Presbyters, at
the chapel of st. Peters Church, New
York, on Monday. A letter from Jay
Cooke was read by the President of the
board, urging that the laity were on the
side of Mr.. Tying, and that the board ought
not TO render decision calculated to In
crease differences in the church. The
evidence for the prosecution was taken
showing that Mr.. Tyrg preached i, a

Common Prayer, gave out the lines of
purely Methodist hymns, and wore instead
of the orthodox Episcopal surplice and
gown, full suit of Methodist black. The
assemolage that formed the audience at the
trial enjoyed some of the comical portions
of it with great zest.
Tie President win soon remove Mr..
Stanton, and appoint another member of
the Cabinet, od interim, to perform the
duties. 1t is thought this course will in
volve only peaceful judicial question.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
appointment of Minister to the Court of
st. James has been rendered to General
Mcclellan, but nothing has been heard
from him as to his acceptance. Mr.
Adams resignation is to take effect on the
LIST of April.

Vhe war in the Democratic party, says
the Chicago Tribune, on the question of

fighting for the cause Of national honor and
faith against tho repaiiaior-. Il strikes
right and lett Wherever there is candi-
date on press that goes for reputation
and an inflated currency, the World hits
With telling force. It is amusing to watch
the WY faces of the Columbus, Cincinnati
and Chicago Copperhead press and to hear
them scold the World for interfering in
the local politics of the Western States. Is

eriminality because urged for the local ad-
vantage Of George Y. Pendle,on.

not the weakest Of the arguments for that

-FiiIEND NATrINGLy: For fear some have

act position or whereabouts of that good
old Democratic party so much talked of.

1t all up In the following smile: We

toward the boundless ocean. We view il
passing along undisturbed; 1t swerves not
on the approach or appearance of danger,
but as time watts by the officers and crew
become more reckless, and fail to manage
their vessel judiciously, and, in conse-
quence, we see them swallowed up in one
of those large eddies which are 50 numer-
Gus in that river. Yet they are hopeful,

forced for the concentration of the frag-
ments and the re-uniling Of its parts, but a
failure follows each attempt, and in this
condition she is given up for lost and the
crew take passage on better manned boat

And SO II Is with the Democratic party.
For many years they moved along harmo-
nieusly, but eventually they got on board
an unskilled crew. and the officers, as well
as all others, drank freely of their shot

Inc Indianapolis journal, OF the 18th,
comes out in favor Of the nomination of
Colfax for Vice President. II says:
No public man of any Slate of this URion
possesses larger share of personal popu-
lariiy than Schuyler Colfax This will be-
come apparent to any one who may make
any considerable journey through the coun-
try. Outside OF Indiana, whenever the
Vice Presidency is mentioned, the name of
Mr.. Colfax is suggested. Past experience
has tan.ht us that as much care must be
used in selecting candidate for that Office
as for the Presidency Who shall be the
Republican candidate? The answer comes
at The instant, Schuyler Colfax. 1t is not
the purpose of this article 10 indulge in a
panegyric of Mr.. Colfax. lie is too we'll
known to need that. He possesses In a
pre- eminent degree every quality requisite
for both the candidacy and the position.
1t is reasonably certain that If the con-
vention of the Goth instant recommends Mr..
Colfax for the nomination as Indiana's
choice, he will receive that nomination.
We do most earnestly desire on behalf of
the Republicans Of the entire country, that
this will not be overlooked or neglected by
the convention.
This article was partly suggested by a
very able communication to be found in
the Independent of February 6. on Grant
and Colfax, which we wish every Repub-
lican in Indiana could see We can not
refrain from giving an extract from that ar
t.cie in reference to the objection so fire.
quently made, that ii will not do to nomi-
nate both candidates from the West. We
regard the suggestions 10 the point and
sound:
1.-THE chief objection offered by the pol
iticians of rival States against the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Colfax is that of locality. They
assert that the West is trying to usurp the
old prestige ofthe South in the monopoly
Of public emolument. 1t is time TO take q
broader view. How puerile is the self
assertion of any one State when it attempts
10 claim as its own a man born on Its soii,
or living within its precincts, whose name
aud influence are national. Grant was
born in Ohio, has lived in Missouri and IL
linois; his home, whether he be made
President or not, is H. Washington. Colfax
was born in New York, has lived in Indl-
ana, and in sympathy belongs to one side
of the continent no more ..an to the other

compared with the veal of a vast nation as

The Valparaiso Republican tells the
following amusing story The people OF
Pierceton were regularly seh the other day.
A travelling dentist came round and pro-
posed to insert finc sets Of false teeth at a
very low price, and wait six months for
his pay. He only demanded that the par
ties should pay him down for pulling the
old stubs. All the old women with poor
teeth and all the young ones with yellow
ones, came to the doctor, had the unsight;y
grinders. etc., removed, and paid for the
job. The next day the doctor was missing
and has mot been heari from since. There
is an openinSlo Pierceton for several first
