Ecclesinsiical Reform I'm England.

1t is fact, not wholly without interest,
that the Church founded by uxorious Henry
the Eighth, of bloody memory, is in danger
at the very moment that the Pope is in his
biggest trouble. Mr.. Mall, who has many
intelligent and sympathizing friends in the
United States, has once again made bold
endeavor and has once again been voted
down. But the member for Bradford is the
last man to be told that we'll directed effort,
because not Immediately successful, is useless.
If any man knows he knows that even the
rock cannot resist the nnremitting drop. The
opposition OF Mr.. Disrael and Mr.. Gladstone
has not chilled him. He will return again to
the effort; and If he cannot, others, filled
with and fired by his spirit, will do it for him.
The Nonc0nformist, Of which Mr.. Mail has
long been the editor, helped to make an end
of the Irish Church establishment; and the
Nonc0ntormist does not mean to discontinue
its efforts SO long as the Church by law
established exists either in Scotland or Eng
land. AT time when anti-State Church
sentiments have made an end of the Papal
temperatures, it Is not at all improper that the
proud Episcopal Church Of England should
also feel the force of modera progress.

ST. THOMAS AND vENEzUELA.-By special
telegram TO the HERALD from Havana we have
later dates from the above named places. 1t
is reported from st. Thomas that everything
is apparently not working well with the cable
expedition, and although the telegraph COM
pany reports all right It is not generally
credited. From Venezuela we hear Of several
high-handed measures on the part OF Blanco-
such as blockading ports and imposing I'M
usual duties. An outbreak Is threatened at
Caracas, which, If 1t occurs, may upset everv
thing generally In that republic.

A MELANCHOLY CASE is that Of the two
women in Brooklyn who were frightened to
death By the presence of burglars in their
rooms. 1t is an accepted maxim of the Court
Of General Sessions now that burglar in
tends to commit murder, il necessary, when
he enters house for burglarious purposes, and
here is peculiar case that strongly illustrates
the idea. The burglars have actually commit
ted a double murder, not only without actual
intention, but actually without any necessity,
and we may imagine the horror with which
they find that their crimes have brought them
SO suddenly and so uselessly under the awful
shadow Of the scaffold. The case Is singu-
lar one, and yet it is a wonder that it has not
been very frequent one, when we consider
how many burglaries are committed and how
very few women in this city are strong and
fearless enough to look upon the chilling spec
tacle of man in their room with black mask
on and a dark lantern in his hands, gliding noise
lessy about like the man-wolf, and perhaps
leaning over the bed whcreon the woman lies
and looking intently into her face to see If she
is asleep-to look upon such chilling spec
taclc as this and live.

there. The sole object was to reform the
abuses in the State government and TO pre-
serve peace. What better argument is needed
for South Carolina and the South generally |?
What greater reproof to the partisan coercive
Legislation q Cppgress9 There Is no necessity
Tor the employment Of military power in the
affairs Of the South if the conservative classes
be supported in their efforts to suppress dis
orders and to govern wisely. The first thing
to be carefully avoided is federal interference
with local self-government, for this is the basis
of our glorioas institutions and liberty.
Though Congress may have thought proper to
invest the President with extraordinary powers
he ought not to use them unless there be
danger of civil war. It was never contem-
plated by the founders of the government or
In the constitution that the President should
use the power OF the sword, only in case Of
civil war and unless called upon for that
purpose by the State governments. To
compel local communities to execute the
laws, and especially to hold them responsible
for the non-execution of such laws, is q new
theory OF government in this republic and a
great step toward centralized despotsm.
We hope General Grant may be as prudent
and moderate in executing the doubtful power
conferred upon him as he was skilful in the
management of the war; Let him remember
that political objects are not likely to be
attained by violation of the true principles Of
our constitution and government. Kindness
and proper consideration for the South in the
abnormal and extraordinary circumstances Of
its condition should govern his action. The
Ku Klux is but an accident, a thing Of the
day. and, as General Sherman said, greatly
estimated. The expression of this cor
rect opinion by him has touched the popular
heart and may make him President. If
General Grant be wise he will be governed by
the same sentiment.

TIE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION has rather
outlived Its usefulness, but we are glad to see
its last letter on city affairs. 1. speaks quite
freely and fearlessly on the city subjects Of
legislation in the late session Of the Legis-
lature, condemning without stint the Regstra-
ton laws, the laws authorizing the Issue of
new bonds in certain cases, and partially con-
demnng some of the provisions Of the viaduct
Railroad act. II rather warmly eulogizes the
larger jobs Of the session, such as the new Tax
Levy bill, the Broadway widening, the charter
amendments and the water supply. To be
sure these were the great transparent jobs Of
the session, which any one but the dear old
Citizens Association could see through; but
as that harmless body Of genial old gentlemen
have shown thorough willingness to abuse
some part of the ring legislation, we feel sure
no thoughtless person can ever again accuse
them Of selling out to Tammany.

John M. Francis, editor of the Troy Times, has

in giving a chance to thorough American
newspaper man to let the American people
know what the matter is with Greece.

opinions. The statements to that effect have
been demolished by o clear and precise
declaration made in the Memphis (Tenn.l
Acalanche of the 10Th inst, of which the fol-
lowing is an embodim emit. -.
The speech Of General sherman reported by Con.
way to the New York Tribune, and reported In ast
nights dispatches as having been made at the
Union League at New Orleans does not refer to the
one delivered at the American Club on the 10Th ut..
and reported by its New Orleans correspondent, but
" another speech OF his before the Union League
Club in which he spoke OF the intricate social rela-
lions existing between him, Bragg and Beauregard.
The A0alanche further says its report was
furnished by an officer of the United States
army, who was present when the remarks
attributed to General Sherman were delivered.
There should be no bother about this bust
ness As an army officer, the informant Of
the Avalanche should make the case clear.
But better than all, General Sherman should
show his hand, and let the public know
whether or not he is willing to accept
spontaneous nomination for the Presidency by
the voice Of the American people

THE SOUTH CAROLINA NABoDs OF the Tax
payers Convention called upon the plebeian
official Of the State yesterday to consult re-
garding the best means of securing lower
taxation and better credit. The Governor
and his high adjuvants willingly gave all the
information and aid they could to the needy
patricians but Governor Scott read them
sly lesson that does credit TO his head. He
told them the insolvency of the State was due
entirely to the disturbed condition of the
public mind and the insecurity to life and
property, for which he was not responsible.
In this the nabobs might have shifted Ku Klux.
but evidently they did not and went on calmly
with their investigation. 1t was very edify-

Butler and Ex-Secretary of the Rebel Treas
ury Trenholm consulting about filthy lucre with
carpet-bag Governor Scott and two mulatto
State officials.
