day, owing to the inability of the jury TO
agree. This fight will now, we suppose,
have to be commenced over again, and the
scandal to the cause of religion which it has
occasioned will be indefinitely continued, to
the delight of the gentleman in black, who is
never better pleased than when he beholds
those who profess to be good Christians
doing his work for him. Now, what is all
this terrible rumpus in the First Reformed
Presbyterian congregation about, that 1t is
necessary for number of respect
able and highly estimable gentlemen,
who are recognized as Christian leaders,
to be thus punching each others
spiritual heads, and exciting the ridi-
cule of the ungodly by dragging their reli-
gious quarrels into the Courts Is it ques-
ton of belief in God or Jesus Christ or does
it relate in any way to saving sinners here
after or making mankind better while here
belowp Oh, dear, no; for these are matters
of comparatively small Importance in the eyes
of many Christians beside the wearing or non-
wearing of clerical vestments, the standing or
kneeling at prayers, the reading or extempo-
rizing of petitions to the throne of grace, or
other like subjects upon which opinions may
differ, and the great case of Graham ct al. VS..
Stuart ct al. depends entirely upon the pro-
priety of Brother Stuart giving voice to his
thankfulness for the manifold blessings he
enjoys upon this mundane sphere, and for
the greater ones that he expects to enjoy
hereafter, by singing hymns, when the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, of which he is
a member, rules that the Psalms of David, in
A.:z r ID Ill
IN harmonious numbers from his lips.
The whole case, as we understand it, turns
upon Rouse's 'Psalms in Metre, and con-
sidering the peculiar manner in which the
ideas of the Hebrew poet-king are burlesqued
in the verses of the old Cromwellian, it is
really creditable to MIR. Stuart, as a gentle
man of taste and culture, that he should wish
to give variety to his devotions by singing an
occasional hymn. If the Reformed Presby-
terian Church, however, insists on standing
by Rouse, we do not see that Mr.. Stuart has
any choice between giving up his hymns or
else attaching himself to some religious de-
nomination which considers the singing of
hymns as commendable rather than otherwise.
The secular press is not interested in the
controversy about Rouse's Psalms, any more
than it is great scandal to religion that can
not but do an immense injury to the cause of
Christianity. 1t is matter of Indifference
| to outsiders whether the Reformed Presbyte-
rians sing Rouse's version of the Psalms or
not but it is not a matter of Indifference if,
with such a shamefuily inadequate subje
for serious dispute, they begin and carry on
an acrimonious public quarrel, which can
have no other effect than to make the religion
they profess ridiculous in the eyes of the un-
believing world, and it is the duty of the
secular press to express very decided opin-
ion with regard to the folly and iniquity of all
such ecclesiastical sanabbles.

A THEATRICAL NOVELTY.

A TELEGRAM from Havana reports a severe
battle in Dominica between the forces of
Cabral and Valentin Baez, in which, it is
said, ''the opposing armies consisted of about
ten generals and four hundred troops on each
side." This proportion between generals and
soldiers indicates an excess of fuss and feath-
ers that must be exceedingly picturesque and
delightful to contemplate on parade days. OF
the forty men under command of each gene
raj it is fair to presume that large proper
tion are colonels, observation-disclosures, majors,
adjutants, captains, heutenants, sergeants,
etc., and, making due allowance for them, it
becomes doubtful whether the Dominican
armies are deteriorated by the presence of
single private. Each noble warrior is of a
heroic cast, born to command, and destined
to play his part on the tented field in beautiful
soldier clothes.
Considering the size of the Dominican
armies and the grand display they would make
on the stage, tits surprising that some theatrical
managers in search of a sensation do not i'm
port full troupe of Cabral and Baez' heroes,
to give fine effect to war scene in the Black
Crook or some other celebrated spectacle
AS Cabrals military chest, containing q sum
equivalent to several dollars in veritable
money, was capturedin the late fight, he is, ne
doubt, in an unusually impecunious condi-
ton, and the present moment would be a
very favorable one for commencing negotia-
tions with him for theatrical engagement.

THE W. B. a. IN REBELLION.

THE W. B. a. IN REBELLION.
The troubles in the coal region have at
length eliminated in riot and bloodshed, and
it has been necessary to invoke the military
power of the Commonwealth to protect life
and property and to secure to peaceably dis
posed miners the right to work for their
living in spite of the prohibitions of the w.
b. A. The advocates of trades unionism
cannot extenuate or explain away the present
condition of affairs in the Scranton coal
region, and the bloodshed, incendiarism, and
violence of the last few days must make the
opponents of the Workingmen's Benevolent
Association more determined than ever to
break its power and to protect themselves in
the future from any such unlawful combina-
tions. The Governor has promptly ordered
a military force to the scene of the disturb
ance, and for this he is entitled to credit. The
eminently characteristic proclamation he
issued, however, may be set down as the very
worst state paper that he has ever signed
except the Ficken pardon-and it cannot but
have the effect of making the rioters believe
that he more than half sympathizes with them.
The Governor makes the railroad companies
equally responsible with the miners for the
riots, and his pronuncamento is directed as
much against them as it is against the men
actually engaged in the work of arson
and murder. The Governor knows perfectly
we'll that the railroad companies, whether
they are right or wrong in the imposition of
prehibitory rates of freight, have been guilty
of no acts of violence, and that they can
easily be held responsible by the civil autho-
rites without the aid of bayonets, and the
peculiar construction of his proclamation is
merely an attempt to make political capital
by an appearance of inpartiality. The effect
of such proclamation must be to encourage
the rioters in their resistance to the laws, and
to make the work of bringing about peace
full solution of the mining troubles more diff
ficult than ever.

suppress the Ku-klux of the South. All right,
if it is rightly done; but however we'll done,
the measure proposed falls far short of the
great want of the South and the great desire
of the country. The best way to stop the
Ku-klux business is to make amnesty univer-
sal, and enlist every intelligent and reputable
citizen on the side of law and government.
Give the South amnesty, and bayonets and
thieving carpet-baggers will be allowed to
leave that country for the country's good. 1t
has been said that Butler may be blamed for
everything but being fool. Can't he see
that, to restore good government in the
South, the men most interested in govern
ment should not be excluded from partici-
pating in it ? Butler should look again.
