order to take effect from that day.

that BODIED immense evil. But
now comes the Supreme Court OF
the State and deinitively SETTLES
the same point. The decision rem
Idered on Thursday last in the Re-
turning Board contest, sustains
Judge Dibble's decision, that the
Heron Board is the legal Return
ing Board, Notwithstanding Gov
ernor Warmoth assumed to remove
him, and Notwithstanding he fur
Their claimed to have superseded
the Board by the appointment of a
new one under a new law which be
signed in the mids: of the contest.
The decision is characterized by
the deliberateness, lucidness, and
conclusiyeness of the positions taken
by the learned judges and will COM
mend itself to the approval of not
only Republicans but al! those who
will give a ''sober second thought"
to the whole matter.
This much settled by a tribunal
known all over the country for its
probity, integrity and erudition will
considerably relieve all the investi-
even by Congress itself Of
much Of the embarrassment that
otherwise surround then.

"FHE Hon. WARREN CHASE, of st.
Louis" in an address at the late spiritualist
camp-meeting near Boston, declared that
his mother was not a wife, and that he
gloried in the fact that she had the courage
to bring him forth without having been
married. 1t is doubtful If this excellent
lady is still living she probably didn't
survive the birth Of the Hon. Warren
Chase, of st. Louis but if she has not
departed it is earnestly to be hoped that
she will take the Hon. Warren Chase, of
ST. Louis, across her knee and instruct him
to let out no more Of those family secrets.
Fanaticism is quite pardonable ON some
occasions; but such idiocy as that Of the
Hon. Warren Chase is not to be tolerated

A SOMEWHAT important movement,
having for its object the abandonment of the
Mosaic Sabbath, and the substitutior,
instead, of the first day of the week, in
accordance with the Christian custom, has
recently been inaugurated in the Jewish
Church OF this country. 1t is urged by the
advocates of the change that it is much
more reasonable to keep pace with modern
ideas, the demands OF business and the
needs Of our civilization, than to nurs-
ing century-old notions ana customs; so
long, that is to say, as the mode of wor-
ship shall remain consistent WITH and con-
tinued to be founded upon, the cardinal
and essential principles of Judaism. The
reformers claim that the demand is steadily
growing stronger upon them. Most of the
principal men of the Church are compelled
to attend to their business on Saturday or
lose their custom the young men are em-
ployed in Christian business houses, and
must remain away from service or lose
their positions, and a chain of circum-
stances seems to be drawing the necessity
of the reform into more decided shape. lt
is further said that congregations are daily
leSsening, members are being drawn away
from their faith by self-neglect and want Of
association, and that something must be
speedily done to bring about change.
Some of the most prominent Hebrews i'll
the country are actively pushing the
movement among their co-religionists, and
fastening the matter to the crisis of alter
alton which, sooner or later, will in all
probability come.
