The organ OF the Ritualsts, the Church
Weekly, is in fear lest the Baltimore cofVen-
tion will adopt the sweeping resolutions OF lis
committee on the ritual. But 1t "has not the
natience to make an examination in detail Of
this report" It's complaint Is that the priests
are not allowed to do as they like in their own
churches.
About a fortnight ago, when Mr.. Dlsraell
made his famous speech about the condition
of Queen Victoria, there was controversy as
to the words he really used. The reporters
made the speech read that he said the Queen
"was physically incapacitated" from ruling.
Mr.. Disraeli went much farther than this, and
really said that she "was physically and moral
ly incapacitated," and upon being asked AFTER
wards about IT., replied that he not only used
these words, but did 30 advisedly.
The Alexis ball in New York is to be some

many heartournings which have characterized

"A Washington dispatch Of the 18th inst,
to the Savannah News, Gays: "Granrs last
Epistle to the Carolinians has caused consider
able and excited comment here to-day. Every
body was taken by surprise. The more honest
Republicans admit that the proclamation Is not
Justified by any official information received
from South Carolina, but was brought about
by the influence of carpet-baggers, aided by
such fanatics az Senator Scott, of Pennsylva-
mia, who brought pressure to bear upon Grant
by working uron his ambition fora renomina-
tion."
The openingpf the new rail- connection
with Halifax, which took place formally on
the 18th instant, will shorten the present
quickest time to England by six hours. The
capitalists interested intend to still further
diminish the length of the sea voyage oy
building road from Truro to White Haven
Bay at the extreme eastern end OF Nova
Scotia, which Is about one hundred and lwen'
ty-fye miles nearer Liverpool than Halifax.
White Haven Is good haroor, with sufficient
depth of water to accommodate large ocean
steamers. A line OF steamers from Liverpool
to that place, connecting there with railroad
direct to New York, would be the shortest and
quickest possible route between England and
the United States.
The San Francisco Bulletin says the num-
Der Of Chinese in the shoe trade OF that city
has doubled within the year. 1t also states
that these emigrants entirely monopollze the
slipper factories, employing total OF over two
hundred men, The Chinese ehoe factories
number about six, employing about tVo hun
dred and forty men. The estimate, >. course,
does not include those employed by white
manufacturers. The Chinese have injured the
white manufacturers, inasmuch as they have
taken all the second-class work from them
They are also driving all the second.class
Eastern work out OF the market. 1t Is also
said that they are now going into frst-class
work too. Half dozen of the old ones have
failed during the year. The Chinese opera
tiyes receive trou 50 so to 81 SO per week, the
former wages being paid TO beginners. =
Washington advices state again that it is
positively known that the President has finally
decided to remove Murphy-that 's, to
oaccept his resignation" He dislikes to do it,
but has indicated to his friend, the New York
Collector, that he can no longer stand the
PRESSURE and must sacrifice him, even If 1t
costs him his Long Branch cottage. Senator
Morton and the other members of The gene
raj order" ring are delighted at the Idea that
change is to take place. 1t Is believed to be
the purpose Of the President to place man in
the customhouse with directions TO perform
the duties impartially under the immediate
directions OF Secretary Boutwell,, and that he
will positively decline to interfere with their
administration of the duties under any crcnm-
stances, unless positive evidence OF violation
OF law is shown. Who the new collector will
be Is matter of conjecture.
The Democracy of the country looks with
admiration upon Texas, from which State
comes the best news of the season. The sweep
made over that broad country is thorough and
irresistible, not veslige OF the Radical organ
ization being lett to represent misrule in Goa
gress. The news has been long in coming
from the sunny cities and the broad pasture
lands OF Texas, but it comes impressively al
last, showing Democratic majority OF forty
thousand and gain of three members ofCon-
gress. The entire Congressional delegation is
now unit in political principle, sclldly Demo-
cratic; and this fact Is all the more gratifying
because OF the immense popular majority
which sustains the representatives Of The
people at home. In the midst OF bayonet re-
preston, proclamations OF martial law, and
political prosecutions along the entire range
OF Southern States, this triumph OF the Democ-
racy of Texas is all the more notable. The
contest has been long and severe, The usual
partisan Influences have been applied oy the
faction having the success of the adminislra-
ton at heart, and the rssult Is in every way
victory for the people of which they may we'll
be proud.
