JUDGE CHAsE'S RELIGIOUS VIEWS.
The pastor of the Metodist Church in
Georgetown, Rev. r.. b. Brown, in al
hiding in his sermon yesterday to the
religious views of Judge Chase, said:
When | took charge of Wesley Chap
ell in the city of Washington, in 1852,
OH the first Sunday and preached there,
Mr. Chase was in the church, but | did
not then know him. In conversation
with him upon that occasion he re
marked that he believed fully in the
doctrine of the Methodist Episcopal
Church-that its religion was purely of
the Bible; that the standard of morali
ty was none too high, and that it was
the religion best suited TO and best cal
culated to save the masses of the people,
and from that time forth he would de
vote the best efforts of his life to it.
Foremost among the men of his time,
he was among the most humble and de
vout at the feet of Jesus. He was one
of the most regular, thoughtful and de-

the years loO- ana 1000, > rais mat urea

TUESDAY. MAY 20,

Without dispatagemcnt to very
many Of our best men who have been led
by education, or natural tendencies, or
other circumstances, into nesaliance
with Hunker Democracy, We cannot but
observe the inevitable tendencies Of the
party spirit and teachings. 1t is toward
ignorance. The church and the public
school are the natural enemies Of this
iossiized party, that exists only in name
and is kept alive only by the remembrance
of what it was in former years. Aware
of this enmity, the Democratic leaders
in those States where it still holds power
are doing all they can 20 suppress both
the church and the system of free schools.
The free school system OF Texas would be
overthrown were it 10 the power oil
Democracy. Every obstacle is thrown
in its way, and but for the extraordinary
efforts Of its friends it would have been
crushed out long since. We believe the
day is not far distant when Texas will
release itself from the thraldom of De-
mocracy, and with Republican State
government move on to the high destiny
which awaits it. Once cnlightcn its PEG
pie by liberal system Of education, and
he opponent of free schools will be looked
upon as public enemy.

OsCEOLA.-The Indian troubles have
brought frequent illusions III the pub
lie prints to Osceola and the Seminoles.
As it is nearly forty years since the
Florida Indian War, the facts of that
case may not be fresh in the minds of
many ofour readers. Osceola was chief
of the Seminoles. In 1885, while on n
visit to Fort King, his wife, who was
the daughter of fugitive slave-wom-
an, was claimed as slave by the owner
of her mother and was carried off AS
such. Osceola, in his anger making
use of threatening expressions. was
eized by order of Gen. Thompson. L
). Indian Agent, and put in irons but
released after six days Imprisonment.
Resolved upon vengeance, he laid in
wait for Gen. Thompson for weeks and
months, and at length finding him out
side of the fort, killed him and the 9th
er whites who were in his company.
October %, 1887, while holding a con-
ference under flag of truce with Gen.
Jessup, near st. Augustine, he was
treachrrously seized with n number of
his followers and kept in confinement
at Fort Moultrie till his death.

papers statement that fifteen days
quarantine still exists in Havana, on ac.
count Of cholera in New Orleans that
the authorities in Havana do not believe
the reports Of the Board health at New

of the Spanish Consul that five steam

fifteen days from New Orleans, aud that
it would be better for no more vessels to
clear for Havana from Gulf ports which

otherwise, with New Orleans.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION. Another Ar.
tic expedition in search Of the open Polar
Sea and the imaginative North Pole, has
come to grief. Instead Of the fame he
sought, the gallant Captain Hall has
found a grave in the Arctic regions, and
his vessel, the Polaris, with part Of his
crew, is drifting no one knows where.
Ten white men and eight Esquimaux
belonging to the Polaris were picked up
April 80, 1873 in latitude $3.50 north,
about forty miles from Wolf Island, by
the steamer Tigrcss. This party had be-
come separated from the ship October
-, 1872, storm breaking the vessel
from its mooring and leaving them on the
ice. The story OF their life on an ice
foe fer l07 days, sounds more like a
.-i~ II -~"nnce than narrative Of truth.
What seems very remarkable Is VIC nact
that during thi. long winter confinement,
on field Of hating ice, exposed to the
storms and intense cold Of the Arctic re-
gions, not life was lost; even a babe
but eight months old lived through the
terrible privations.
The Polar Sea problem is no nearer its
solution than it was century ago, We
are Of the opinion that enough lives have
been sacrificed and enough money wasted
in these fluitlcss Arctic explorations,
Just what practical benefit is to be con-
ferrod upon the civilized world by the
discovery of an open Polar Sea we are at
a loss to determine. The very fact al
ready known, that an almost impossible
ice belt surrounds it. proves that the dis
covery would amount to nothing except
the slight satisfaction Of knowing that
inside the belt Of ice was an open sea.
Admit its existence, and VIVA. does il
prove? Nothing of practical Importance,
nothing worth single life to prove. We
hope the sad fate Of Captain Hall will
close the long list of heroic navigators
who have lost their lives in this foolish
effort to find something which, if found
would be Of no practical value to man
/ kind

We notice that the lumbermen on Pc

inactive winter. The light sales for the
past season have had depressing effect.
The small demand for lumber has left
them with considerable stock on hand
