The Late George Peabody,

In letter from Victor Hugo to Colonel
| Berton, President of the American Committee
in London, very great respect is expressed for
the late George Peabody, of whom the author
| says, shaving a place near Rothschild he
found means to change it for one near Vim
enough in the American flag to display over
the coffin of Peabody. Hugo closes his letter
by remarking that ten years before (Decem-
Der 2, 1851 he addressed, as single suppl
ant, a prayer for the condemned of Harper's
Ferry to the illustrious American nation. He
adds that, since 1859, great events have been
accomplished; servitude has been abolished
in America; let us hope that the other servi-
-misery-will also be one day abolished,
| over all the world, and while waiting for the
second-progress-to come and complete the
first, let us venerate the two apostles by join
ing in the same sentiment of gratefulness and
respect, John Brown, the friend of the slave,
with George Peabody, the friend of the poor.
A similar letter was written by Louis Blanc,
who laments that there should be for men of
Mr. Peabody's stamp no particular sort of
homage better calculated to show how little,
compared to them, are the most of kings,
princes, noblemen, renowned diplomatists,
world-famed conquerors. 1t was not the
kind-hearted Republican trader who was
honored by the fact OF being consigned TO rest
in Westminster Abbey, but rather those who
were considered to be worthy Of sleeping
there their last sleep, ON account of their
rank, not of Il cir virtue. These expressions
of regret for Mr.. Peabody are very grateful
to his countrymen. They are in happy con-
trast to the murmurs which the malignant
and uncharitable have INDUCED in, and by
which they would dishonor great name.
THE N. Y. Tribune explains the seeming
inconsistency of the report from Berlin that
the American bishops at Rome are the most
devoted adherents of the Papacy, by saying
that "canon law having no force in this coUn-
try, the Bishops are not chosen by their cler-
gy or cathedral chapters, but appointed at the
mere will of the Pope. The hierarchy in fact
is close corporation, in which the members
nominate candidates to fill vacancies in their
own body, and the Pope appoints at his pleas
ure, generally selecting one from the list of
nominees presented for his approval, but
sometimes disresarding that list altogether
and consulting his own preferences. Thus,
however widely liberal ideas may be spread
among the lower clergy and the laity, it is
next to impossible for any one to become a
bishop who is not jealous promoter of the
Papal preregatives. There is no part of the
world in which the influence of the Roman
Court over the episcopal. .rody is stronger than
in the United States"

On our first page will be found a short
sketch of Charles Dickens, who died sud-
denly on Thursday of last week. On Tues
day last his remains were conveyed from
his residence at Gadshill by train to Char
ing Cross Station, and there waited at the
station plain hearse, without the usual
English trappings, and three plain coaches,
la the first coach were placed the children
Of the deceased Charles and Harry Dick
ems, Miss Dickens and Mrs. Charles Col
Inns. In the second were Miss Hogarth,
sister in law, and Mrs. Austen sister of
Mr.. Dickens, Mr.. Charles Dickens, Jr.,
and John Forster. In the third coach were
Frank Beard Charles Collins, Mr.. Owery,
Wilkie Collins and Edmund Dickens. The
entire party were attired i'll deep but sim
pie mourning, without bands or scarfs-
There was no crowd at Charing Cross Sta
ton, and the procession was driven at once
to Westminster Abbey, where the remains
were received by Dean Stanley and other
officials and placed in the "Poet's Corner"
at the foot of Handel and at the head of
Sheridan, with Macaulay and Cumland on
either side. The usual flowers were strewn
upon the bier. Deau Stanley read the
burial service, when the coffin was deposited
in its final resting place, and the funeral of
Charles Dickens was ended. Upon the
coffin plate were inscribed the words
Charles Dickens, born February It'll, 1912.
Died June 9th, 1870. Thousands of citi-
zens have crowded the Abbey during the
day to look upon the spot where the great
novelist rests.

The Denton Union merely reiterates
what it has said before, which is no evidence,
whatever, of it's being correct; but as it
can make no material difference to any one,
we propose to let it repcse in its own belief
or rather professed belief. 1t, nor it's
patron, can deceive any one in the State
worth deceiving.
The Union is fond of referring to I" the
past" and a "gentleman who chad a
right to expect better treatment at the
hands of the Whig." We caution the
Union to say as little as possible about the
past in connection with its gentleman"
Or they may beth have cause to regret it
We owe no man living anything but good
wishes, and don't propose to have it init
mated that we de. The Unions game of
brag and assurance we do not regard, for
every one knows what it is worth; but for
the Republican party's sake we are sorry
that this little faur pas has proved the
Union to be an echo, and such an echo.

Mr.. w. II. Pearce in his rejoinder to
Mr.. T. P. Jones, in the Democrat of last
week, says he "never was black Repub-
lican." Being of the "pure Caucasian
race this is literally true enough. But
how Mr.. Pearce can reconcile his acting
with the Republican party as leading
member from the First District prior to
1867, with that declaration, is somewhat
enigmatical, without mourning the charge
Of hypocracy.
When Grants pressure on the Rebel
lines about Richmond drove Lees hatless
and shoeless troopers into Maryland for
shelter from the Union Bayonets, Tom
Swami thought it a coed time to turn
traitor to the party that placed him in
power and betray his trust to the Home
Guard Rebels of Maryland and their friends,
Lees deserters, there were great many
political Adventures at the same time
deserted the Union party to follow the COM
missary stores, who, had man of principle,
occupied the Gubernatorial chair of Mary
land, would doubtless have been famous
Republicans to this day, yea, black, white
OR any other kind that represented office.
Mr.. Pearce is not alone in being not a
"black Republican but a political hypo-
critic. He openly acknowledges the corn,
