NEW YORK.


NEw YoRK, March 2l.--At 9;l7 pre-
cisely Foster passed up from his cell to
the prison yard with the black cap on.
His arms we're pinioned behind his back.
He walked with firm step to the scat
fold. Rev. DIR. Tying read lengthy
burial service. The doomed man Gu
deayored to place his hands over bis
eyes, but could only reach them with
his thumb aud foreenger The reading
Of the death warrant was finished at
900, and the rope cut at 1921 precisely
Foster died easy, aud showed wonder
ful courage.
A general call will soon be issued to
the Scottish republicans Of this city for
aid to erect fitting memorial to Robert
Burns in Central Park.
All steamers arriving here from Europe
report heavy northwest gales of the
coast. A majority of the steamers have
been considerably delayed, partly owing
to those gales and partly to the high
prices of coal in England, which obliges
them to buy an inferior quality and
does not yield so much motive power
per ton.
Samuel Joseph Phillipson, another
English forger, was arrested here yester'
day on the arrival of the steamship Java.
Detectives will take him back to England
in the steamship Baltic.
Yesterday final and desperate effort
was made by Fosters counsel to obtain
a suspension and further stay proceed
ings. After due consideration by the
Judges of the Supreme Court, It was de-
MED.

THE SPANISH cARLIsrs.

The Republic Of Spain, which was
recognized the other day by the govern
ment of the United States, it is feared,
is not destined TO remain long il the
democratic world. The nuisance named
Don Carlos has succeeded in efecting
a disturbance in the provinces taat may
at no distant day wind up the republic
into monarchy. The Carlists derive
their name from Don Carlos, the younger
brother Of Ferdinand VII, ofthe FIRST
Nspoleons time. Napoleon deposed
Ferdinand and placed his brother. Jo-
seph Bonaparte, ou The throne, which po-
sition be did not retain any length Of time.
Uotil the time Of Ferdinand VII the old
Salique law prevailed in Spain, as in
all the Latin nations, eonfniDg the sue
cessiou to the Crown to males eIclu
siyely Ferdinand however. having no
sons, by bis own deereeI in the exercise
Of the absolute power BY which be
claimed TO reign, set aside the immemo-
rial law of the kingdom and devised The
Crown to his daughter; and on his death
in 1882. the originstion Of the Carlist
party proclaimed himself King Of Spain
and the Indies. The widowed Queen,
with the aid of England and France,
succeeded in driving him into exile. 10

the Crown in favor Of his son, also
named Don Carlos, who was born in

CHRISTIAN CHARITY.

Our neighbor the Avalanche, Is Ire
ouently so anxious to be clever aud
conciliatory toward the people Of the
North that, like the Indians tree Al
leans a little over. lnilsissue OF To-day,
referring to the munidceni donation o.
Commodore Vanderbilt, it says; In the
act we see, too, the CELEBRATION OF that
sectional bitterness for which the Meth
odist Church is 10 q great measure re-
sponsible, and which ought to be sup
planted by Christian fellowship II mol
natriotic charity" These are fine words,
and, like the speech of the gentleman iron
Buncombe are intended TO be read else
where-certainly not in this community.
1t is not necessary to give history OF the
causes which led to the division Of the
Methodist Church, North aud South. IL
is sufficient to say that the spirit OF
fanaticism, which led to the bloody war
of 1861 aud 1865, drove the Southern
Metbodists to separate organization
The court, Of last resort, decreed a divl'
sion of Church property, and they agreed
to disagree, each to worship Ged after
their own fashion. On the part of the
Southern Church this policy has been
strictly adhered to; can the Avalanche
saw as much for the other side2 Did
they not followthe army aud forcibly seize
the Church aud property of their South
ern brethren2 Did they not continue to
hold such forcible possession until the
civil law compelled them to relinquishf
Did they not boast that they intended
to totally and entirely annihilate the
Southern Church, Have they not sent
disintegraters and missionaries through
out the South, not for the purpose OF
retaining the wicked but to proselyte
members of the sister institution And
have they not refused to withdraw these
proselyters as a condition precedent to
a reunion Of the two churches2 We an
swer these interrogatories in the affirm
alive, and challenge our neighbor to
show the reverse. Our Methodists are
but human, and although the good book
tells them to turn both cheeks to the
smiter's hand, yet we doubt their
ability to control the Adam in
them sufficiently to do it. 1t is
very nice for those to talk Of Christian
fellowship" and patriotic charity, who
have not been scourged by an East Ten
nessee mob till the blood flowed, or
treated to a coat Of tar and feathers and
made to hear the cheerful note Of the
assassin's bullet; but after one has ex-
perienced these little pleasantries it is
more than likely there will exist a Turk
ing prejudice in the mind, even of
saint, against his prosecutors. Christ
could say they know not what they
do, but Methodist preachers are not ex-
pected TO be quite up to that forgiying
plane.
