PACKARD BEFORE THE COM
AIITTF,E.

The Honorable Mr.. Speer is truly
named. He spitted Marshal Pack
ard on his questions in the Con-
gressional Committee and brought
out an admission Of every point
against the Federal officials and so
quietly that Packard himself was
not conscious even of the admission.
If there is one thing more noted
than another in the composition Of
Packard's mind it is effrontery.
The idea that the Marshal's Office
nets him scarcely anything" in
other words that he is getting poor
on it is ridiculous. The true cause
in the divisions of the party is that
Packard desired to make the State
his dung-hilL In the convention
Judge Cooley and Wickliffe beat
him. In the political convention OF
1870 he was beaten again. Which
is the more blameable, a State Off
cial using his Office to protect his
party, or Federal official using his
Office, its prerogatives and powers
to destroy the influence of his poll
teal opponents? Can Marshal
Packard fling a stone in this
direction? We think not. 1t is
now in the history of the country
that Messrs. Casey and Packard,
by their own admissions, wilfully
ordered to be used, and used the
peoples building, the people s
navy, the peoples army, the peoples
revenue patronage, for no other
purpose under Gods heaven than
the pitiful and contemplate design
of comprising the political annihila-
ton of their opponents. So stand
these Federal officials before the
country. With a brazen face and
all the boldnes of successful turpi-
tude, Casey, Packard T. Go. stand
the confessed perpetrators OF mis-
demeanors in the public service,
which in any other country would
hold them up to public seorn and
make them recipients of the peoples
indignation.

ST. JAMES CHAPEL.

Elsewhere in our present issue
are reported the remarkable pro-
ceedings which occurred in this
House of worship last Thursday
evening, and we have but little to
add in this place. We cannot
avoid, however. expressing the
earnest hope that the Ministers Of
this Church will henceforward "set
their faces like a flint" against the
use of their place of Worship for
political purposes. The city
abounds in halls and club rooms
where meetings can be held and
speeches made, and we admonish
the controllers of the st. James
that it is high time their Church
was taken completely and forever
out Of politics. and everything re-
lating to it. We do not enlarge on
this topic here because we believe
from the assurances received by the
ministers and by the gentlemen who
promoted the meeting, that the
conversion of the proceedings OF
Thursday into ward wrangle, was
deliberate breach of pledged faith.
But prevention is better than
cure" and we hope that it may not
fall to our lot to record another such
desecration of a building devoted
exclusively to religious uses.

Too TH1N.-The FagS of the Gus
tomhouse writhing under the search
ing enquiries into their iniquities
by the Congressional Committee
have resolved to divert attention
from themselves for a while and di-
rect it towards the Legislature. A
move is on foot we understand to
summon nearly all of the members
so as to consume the time of the
Committee and thus prevent the
revelations of many a dark doing.
We believe the Committee will
perceive the object and defeat the
dodge. It is too thin.

per garb. But his regrets are Gro

colored citizens before the law, we hold
that Congress will be fully justified in
the passage of the above bill.
Resolved, That we deprecate the
efforts of the white people of the South
in continuing the spirit of caste, by
denying to the colored people the en-
ioyment of civil rights, by force of
white public sentiment, in violation of
the constitution of the nation, of the
State, and the laws made in conformity
Herewith.
Resolved, That our thanks are here
by rendered to the Hon. Charles Sum-
ner, for his ardent advocacy of the
Supplementary Civil Rights bill, and
also to President Grant, for his official
friendship for our race, in the impair
tial execution of our civil and political
rights.
They were then unanimously
adopted, amid loud applause. At
the conclusion the audience we're
invited to come forward and sign
their names to a list which was pre-
pared, and they did SO with much
zeal.
And the audience thinned out,
expressions of disapproval OF the
course of Mr.. Chester, and regrets
at the failure of the move openly ex-
pressed by the disappointed audi
ence.

An ILLUSTRATION IN POINT
The devotion Of the English to
etiquette was once illustrated by
a humorist by an anecdote Of an
Englishman who was drowning, and
who declined to grasp tho hand of
gentleman who tried to rescue
him, on the ground that be had
not the honor Of his acquaintance.
The condition Of the South, whose
personal and political liberty and
local selfgovernment are threat
ened with perpetual loss, is as
critical as was :hat Of this victim
of misfortune and etiquette. The
refusal OF the South to accept aid,
because it is extended through
agencies once alien and unsympa,
thizing would be quiet as ridicu-
Ions as that of the Englishman
who would rather 60 to the bottom
Of the sea than be saved from
death by a strange gentleman
The South don't mean, Of itself, to
be guilty of any such folly
Others, who have misled and sa
crifced her before, may attempt ii
again-and she probably may be
made q sad victim for continued
suffering in sack-eloth and ashes
but not, it is believed, by any act
of her own people:

tai blunder even to send delegates
from this State to the Democratic
Convention. They would repre-
sent a constituency who could not
possibly elect even one clcctor,
and whose support would damage
the cause they advocate. Bat,
while powerless for good, such ac-
tion would have capacity for
evil, fatal to all our hopes of re-
lief within the State. Nothing
conceivable within the range Of
probabilities, could so damage US
politically, as the revival at this
time Of the Democratic party Of
this State.
One other point. If Grant be
the nominee Of the Republicans,
he will have greater power for
good or for evil, to our unhappy
people, than any other person or
party. 1t is perhaps, hopeless to
conciliatc, but, in view Of his pos
sible election, it would be suicidal
to exaspcratc him by a vain and
trultless opposition. Tt;s last
you may denounce
as unworthy free people. But re-
member, we are not a free people.
While it might be dastudly to
suffer our political conduct to be
controlled by the fear of personal
consequences, the welfare Of the
people:s the noblest motives Of the
statesman. Salus p0puli suprema
'er.
Very truly yours,

A colored woman, probably the
largest and heaviest person Of her
sex in the world, died in St. Louis
few days ago at the age Of fifty
one years. She weighed between
nine hundred and a thousand
pounds. Her dimensions were five
feet ten inches in height, twenty
eight inches across the shoulders,
and thirty-seven inches across the
hips. Her arms were thirty
inches in circumference. When
she had been arrayed in burial
vestment, it was found impossible
for seven men to lift her. Finally
the box was tilted Oh one side
and she was rolled in while the
priest chanted the service Of tho
dead. She was then placed in a
large wagon which proceeded
slowly to the cemetery. The wag-
on was backed up to the grave,
and eight men and six rollers COM
bined their exertions to lower her
| into her narrow bed.
