THE FINE ARTS.
Chromos from Pictur-s by HamiI

ChromOs from Pictures by Hamilton.
From Messrs Duval ~ Hunter we have re-
ceived four chromos, from pictures by the cele-
brated marine artist, Mr.. James Hamilton,
which have merits of no common order. These
pictures differ ia subject and color, and they
are excellent representatives of the various
styles of the artist. Mr. HamiltOn's bold, free
touch and the other characteristics of his
artistic method are admirably reproduced aud
the chromos will be highly priced by many of
the artists admirers who cannot afford to pos
sess original works by him.

This brings us to the high aud important
standpoint from which il is both the privi-
lege and the duty of the secular press to
survey the battle which is raging
among the forces of the Church mill
tant, and to pronounce very decided opinion
upon this division in the ranks of those who
ought to be fighting side by side against the
powers Of Sin, Satan, and Death. With re-
CARDS to the right and wrongs of the squabble
which is distractipg the parish of st. Gle
mepts we do not care to express an opinion,
but we do feel called upon to condemn the
squabble itself as a scandal to religion, for
which there is apparently no legitimate ex-
cuse. When there is 80 much real, lively,
and prosperous wickedness abounding openly
in the community and in the nation, it is GER
tainly q most deplorable thing that those
who have taken upon themselves the respon-
sibility of doing active battle with the Great
Adversary should he continually fighting
among themselves about the color and cut of
their uniforms, the size and shape of their
banners, and other matters of very small i'm
portance in comparison with the real work
which the leaders of the Church militant have
in hand.
Such quarrel as that which is now agi-
tating st. Clements parish can have no other
effect than to bring religion into disrepute,
and to diminish the influence not only of
those who are the immediate par ticipants in
the affair, but of the entire denomination to
which Bishop Stevens and DR.. PATTERSON be-
long. Worldly men who have no particular
interest in any sect or creed, but who look
upon the churches aud the clergy as moral
conservators of the first value, cannot but
be disgusted when they see real religion set
aside, and those whose duty it is to actively
aid in its promotion engage in a hot contro-
versy about stoles, and banners, and process
sions, and bowings and posturngs, as if they
were matters of any practical importance
to the great outside world of wickedness,
which looks on with mingled amusement,
scorn and contempt. 1t is impossible for
impartial outsiders to behold, with any re-
spect, the High Church and Low Church, the
ritualistic and anti i-ritualistic, contentious
which agitate the Episcopal Church; and it is
greatly to be regretted that denomination
of Christians which contains 80 much of the
wealth and intelligence of the nation should
year in and year out give the irreligious so
much cause to sneer, without some active
measures being taken by its more clear headed
and thoughtful members to prevent the con-
stsnt recurrence of scandals like the st.
Clements Church controversy.

AN EOOLEsLAS IOAL CIVIL VAR

AN ECOLESLAS IOAL CIVIL WAR.
On Wednesday we published letter from
Bishop Stevens and a number of documents
In relation to certain ritualistic practices
which have disturbed the harmonious rela-
tions between the rector of st. Clements
Episcopal Church in this city and portion of
his congregation. In order to present our
readers with both sides of this question, we
to-day publish on our first page the reply of
the rector, Rev. DIR. PATTERSON, to the letter
OF the Bishop. With the merits of the quarrel
as it stands between Bishop Stevens, DIR.
PATTERSON, and the vestry of st.
Clements Church, the outside and
profane public have little or no
thing to do, and those Immediately inte-
rested may well be left to fight it ont among
themselves without impertinent interference.
In our. province as news puryeyors, we have
laid the whole subject before the public, and
the ntualists and anti-ritualists may Judge for
themselves as to which of the high contend
ing powers is doing the most to injure the
religion they all profess to believe in, and of
WHICH they are all supposed to be advocates.

THE NORTHWES TERN PRO VINCES
IT is to be feared that in handing over the
Hudson Bay Territory To the Dominion of
Canada, Great Britain has served her depen-
dency very much the King of Siam serves
the sacred white elephant. The suppression of
"Riels Rebellion" cost the Dominion infinite
trouble and large sam of monev, and retarded
the progress of unifcatioD; and now the rumor
cones that Manitoba (new name for the Red
River country is again in open revolt, and also
that the Canadian troops have committed out.
RACES within the boundary of the United States.
This latter il especially to he deplOred in view
of the speedy construction of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, aud of the vast service which,
when mutual friendiiness prevails this road can
perform Tor Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and all
the Canadian provinces of the Northwest.
Nature has placed an eternal barrier between
these provinces and those of the Dominion
proper, while in climate, topography, and pro-
ducts they are practically one with the whole
of our territory down to the forty-third parallels
and from where the Northern Pacific Railroad
crosses the Red river, boat can run down to
Lake Winnipeg and ascend the Saskatchewan to
the very base of the Rocky Mountains. The
railroad, showing the commercial identity of
these two regions, will bind them together with
bands of iron; and gravtation is principle
in politics not less than in the physical world,
would it not be well for our neighbor to save
further trouble and expense by handing over her
recalcitrant subjects to Uncle Sam, who is will
ing to receive them now that they are tributary
10 one of his great continental railways?

RALEIGH ITEMS.

Protracted meetings have been in pro-
gress in Raleigh for some time. Last
week the Presbyterians had series Of
meetings, and this week the Methodists
begin. 1t is quite church-going com
munity. ~ aig
The broken place in the levee is 80 far
completed as to allow travel over it.
This is good news to those who have
been pulling throughthe sand for months.
Much disappointment is expressed by
the people of the town and surrounding
country at the slow, progress the con
templated railroad is making. They
want it finished by next season, and
want the work to commence at once and
be pushed through. sJla
A camp meeting is in progress in the
northern part of the county, in Sam
Jones neighborhood. 1t is said to be
numerously attended. Quite a number
from Raleigh have gone up. v
Yesterday quite number Of visitors
were at the Springs. The population
were mostly at church.
Col. James M. Coleman has built up

by his death from the effects Of a pistol shot,
at the hands of Phil, Cavan. The wound was
thought nothing of for several days; but bad
symptoms appeared on last Friday, ana the
unfortunate man sank rapidly and died on
Saturday evening.
Arural couple were married at Hopeheld,
Ark. on Saturday last, and visited the i'm

Sunday is generally regarded in all Chris
tian lands as day Of rest, but If labor rests
on her oars, crime seems TO spread her wings
in the air. Over fifty cases Of nearly all grades
of misdemeanor were disposed Of By Recorder
Scales this forenoon. Esquire Miller Issued
ten State warrants against parties charged
with fighting, threatening, larceny, wifet
whipping and general disorderly conduct,
The history of female would-be suicidists
can be stereotyped because the history OF one
is the history of all. 1t is as follows: I'm
successful attempt of a handsome youDg wo-
man to drown herself. She reached the very
waters edge. waded in, threw up her hands
and sank. Strangel man rushes in oppor-
timely and saves the drowning woman. The
story of blasted life. Early love-not
wisely but too well, Elopement, abandon
ment. despair. desperation, suicide. Motto
Life was to her mockery." All this Gre
ates sympathy for the unfortunate, because
there is such thing in life as sentimental
SHINING.
Our confrere on the Appeal seems to think
that it is unnecessary to go to so much
trouble in order to scientifically investigate
whether or not the shot killed a man. when
every child knows that ii is the intention that
constitutes crime" This may be true morally,
but legally the intention and the act must be
| in harmony. If A shoots b with intent to
kill him, but B dies of yellow fever instead OF
the wound. it would be difficult matter to
convict A of murder. Again. if in operating
on the wound, which, Of itself. is not neees-
sarily fatal, the doctor lets his knife slip and
sewers an artery. from the effect of which the
man dies, it would be difficult to convict A OF
| the homicide which the doctor had committed
| accidentally.

Trade.

Business during the week has been active in
every branch os trade, and especially has this
been the case in the leading branches. Coun-
try MERCHANTS, anticipating an advance in
dry goods, boots, shoes, etc., have invested
as far as their means would permit; and in
the general market, as well as in hardware,
liquors, and other branches, q better business
has been done than during the corresponding
week for several years. In the dry goods line
there has been no marked alteration in prices.
The tendency is upward. however, and by the
close of this week cotton goods of every de-
scription will be marked up, should the dis
couraging reports of the coming crop continue.
Already the estimates made reduce this year
crop nearly million bales, and this fact alone
cannot fail to have its effect upon Eastern
markets. 1t is but just to say, however, that
enr merchants all have laid in large stocks
and will continue to sell at Eastern prices.
The boot and shoe trade. as before stated, has
been active, and in consequence Of light
stocks East. prices are fraction better. The
hardware trade has been fair. and prices gem
orally are unaltered. In liquors there are no
marked changes to report; the business done
during the week has been much more active
than during the preceding week, and shows a
marked improvement over the corresponding
week of last season, An advance Of to &c Is

Restrictions Upon Tobacco Ped
AlHra

The Commissioner of Internal Reeve
nue. writes that since May LIST reddlers
are not required to Be licensed or to pay
special tax as such, and therefore they
have no right as peddlers to sell tobacco
in full packages, put up as prescribed in
section sixty-two and stamped as re-
quired by section sixty-seven. Peddlers
employed by manufacturers to sell their
goods have no right in this respect which
their principals, the manufacturers, have
not, and therefore such peddlers can
only sell in original and unbroken pack
ages, and dealers become liable if they
retail manufactured tobacco otherwise
than from original and stamped pack

nothing new or of interest has transpired in
the local money market since our last weekly

purchase freely from each other at q premium

MUM the selling rate for sight checks on
Northern and Eastern cities.
The movement in coin during the week has
been more active. owing, perhaps. to an adj
vance in the gold premium. To-day, how
ever. there has been but little done. Dealers
would buy gold at 1924. aaaf t5

The river is swelling slowly here, but will
doubtless come to a stand by tomorrow, when
a rapid decline may be looked for. The Ohio
has q fair stage between Louisville and Gin
cinnati, but Ia exceedingly difficult to navi-
gate above or below those points. and con-
tinues to recede. A decline of five inches is
reported at Cairo during the past twenty four
hours. and at st. Louis the average daily de-
cline for several days has been two inches,
leaving depth Of but little over four and a
half feet between there and Cairo. Both the
Illinois and Missouri are falling steadily.
Business since our last report has been more
active, and arrivals numerous. The Grand
Tower. Thos. II. Allen and Geo. W. Cheek got
away Saturday evening with good trips. The
Henry Ames passed down yesterday morning
with barge in tow, adding here some two or
three thousand sacks of oil cake. The NJ. j.
Wicks passed up during the morning. four
and a half days out from New Orleans, with
1900 bars railroad iron and other freight for
st. Louis, and was closely followed by the
Mollie Moore which boat put out considerable
freight here and got away after dark with 500
tons. The Andy johnson passed up early in
the morning, neither adding nor diseharging
anything here. and a little later the Mary
Alice passed up with tow of barges, and the
Mary Boyd came in from the Arkansas with
twenty four bales of cotton and fair list Of
people. The business done to-day was light.
The A. j. White came up from Napoleon with
10 bales of cotton and ass sacks seed and had
