1he Srfreno Bench and the Election
Of Wright.

Negro supremacy in the State has
eliminated in the election Of Wright

WhiPpcr bis colorcd antagonist, TO a
seat on tho Supreme Bench. We
havo had negro jurors, negro masis-
trates, negro legislators, and negroes

we arc honored with @ negro judge

names Of Dunkin, Wardaw, and

whose duties arc required the highest

Docs any one suppose that Wright
is qualified for the position? Will he
assume as snuch for himself2 But
STOOLS tread where angels stand

or future promisc2 OF past service ?

tions OF obligation, nice shades of
jurisdiction-what measure of intel

contribute in bringing order out Of
chaos, and setting up the stately COL
umns Of Jurisprudence upon sure and
lasting foundations
Why then has Wright been clec-
ted7 Simply because lie is a negro.
Here is tho Civil Rights Bill with a
vengeance. Here is discrimination
on account of Grace: color, or condi
tion." DO we ask for intellect? We
arc presented with representative
OF race. Do we seek learning? We
arc greeted with a question of color.
DO we demand character? We ar,
told that it is cnoagh that the candi-
date belongs to the class OF tho newly
cnfranclised.
We have no objection to Wright
personally. We believe that he is
one of the best representatives CT his
class-intclligent and conservative.
Wo have no objections to negroes
holding office if they arc qualified.
But wo do object to making "racc, col
or or condition." serve as o substitute
for qualifcation-to elect negro
simply because he is a negro-clect
him to an Office where he can do no
possible good, and where he will be

not be question Of party politics,
much less Of politics aggravated by

l said there was also a masonic feature In
this creed. About that this Mormon de-
clined to speak, There are many rites and
secrets only to be gazed upon by those who
compose the inner Mormon circle. | have
heard that there are oaths, fortified by the
most awful imprecations, and promises de-
Scending to most innate particulars, and rites
of the most questionable decency. Of these
1 only know what rumor told me. But there
is large realm of secresy in this Mormon
religion. The temple-the foundations of
which are already laid-and which is to be
completed on scale of great magnifcence,
is designed solely for the celebration of
these secret rites. 1t is not to be defled
by any Gentle intrusion. To the honor Of
the Free Masons it is to be said, that they
will in no wise affiliate with these Mormons
Though there is masonic lodge in Salt

any other lodges, because of polygamy. 1t

Somebody Must Be In.

Here is a little incident which tells, bet
ter than dictionary can, the meaning of
the word ''disinterestednesS. The martyr
spirit that leaps into danger to do good
deed, is the farthest removed from selfish
ness that human being is capable of.
The late Archdeacon Hare was once, when
tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge, giving
a lecture, when cry of "Fire" was raised.
Away rushed his pupils, and forming them
selves into line between the building
which was close at hand-and the river,
passed buckets from one to another The
tutor quickly following, found them thus en-
gagged; at the end of the line one youth
was standing up to his waist in the river; he
was delicate, consumptive looking.
"What! cried Mr.. Hare, 'you are in
the water, Sterling? you, SO liable to take
cold !"
Somebody must be in it, responded
the youth; "why not l, as well as an
other ?"
The spirit of this answer is that of all
great and generous doings. Cowardice, and
GOODNESS, too, says, 20, somebody will do
it, and the speaker sits still he is not the
one to do what wants doing. But nobility
of character, looking at necessary things,
says, Somebody must do it; why not II"
And the deed is done

Object of the Great Council.

Ancient gossip informs US that one morn

streets of Athens, he met a friend, whose
countenance denoted that he was full Of
some important subject
"Oh, Alcibiades !'' exclaimed the friend.
cit is reported that you have paid five hun
dred dollars for little dog"
"Indeedl" exclaimed the young man, 81

"And it is said that all the beauty and
value of the dog was in its tail pr
"True also, murmured the wit, in mel
ancholy tone.
"And when you had bought the dog, the
first thing you did was to cut off its tall"
"Even SOL" replied Alcbibiades. CT did
So"
Glow could your" exclaimed the friend.
You have set all Athens talking about it !"
"That is exactly what l wished to do"
exclaimed the schemer. "While they are
talking over these little follies they will for.
get our political schemes.
Two,thirds of the schemes attributed to
the Gcumenical Council are merely osten-
sible. The world will admire the process
sions, the fireworks, the discussions upon the
assumption of the Virgin. The real object
of the Council of Trent was to check the
Reformation. Many of the most erudite
writer's state that it was in that respect a
success. For nearly two hundred years the
Gospel made very little progress. But with
in the last fifty years it has ressmed its ca
reer of conquests. The Reformed Faith is
the advancing religion of the day. It is
everywhere making aggreSsions, by means
of the press, schools, and churches, into the
domains of the Papacy itself. How shall
this great movement be checked? Such is
the inquiry that agitates the most eminent
minds in the Roman Catholic Church.

The child of God is not alone in his pll-
grimage. He travels under the guidance of
the Angel of the Covenant, "whO was with
his Church in the wilderness, of whom he
can say, "This God is my God, forever and
ever, he will be my guide even unto death. F"
He knows the end from the beginning-what
we are and what we want; our trials, sorrows
and dangers.
The right rag" 1t may be rough, and
often dark: many mysterious dispensations
of Providence may be met with. l may re-
eeiYe many severe corrections along it. But
1 know it is "the right way" For did not
my Father appoint it? Did not my Saviour
walk through it? Have not all his followers
been led along it? And all of them said at
the end-"it was the right way.
There can be no mistake on this point if
we remember where it ends: it brings US to
ga city Of ha5itatiOn." There have been
famous cities In this world, but GLORIOUS
things are spoken of thee, o city of God"
There is the Heavenly Jerusalem" "the
city of the great King" "The Lord God,
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple
thereof" The city "has no need of the
sun, neither of the moon to shine in it, for
the glory of God doth tighten it, and the
Lamb is the light thereof"
at is "eity Of ha5itation The in
habitants are the select of all the universe.
An "innumerable company of angels" pa,
triarchs, prophets, apostles, martyrs, all the
saved of all ages, all nations-these shall
dwell there.
''There my best friends, my kindred dwell,
There God my Saviour reigns."
May be so led that if this opening year
is the last 1 shall spend upon earth, "my
feet shall stand within thy gates, o Jerusa-
