They had a lively time in one of the Chicago
churches yesterday, all because the officiating
rector 80 far forgot himself as to quarrel with a
reporter who had come to report his sermon.
The rector insisted upon the reporters with
drawal, and finally the knight of the pencil took
his leave under protest. 1t is not likely that the
readers of the paper represented by the reporter
will suffer an irreparable loss in being deprived
of an abstract Of the sermon of tn at rector.

A correspondent alludes to a paragraph in
The STAR few days ago to the effect that
Hon. Samuel Shellabarger had accepted a DO
sition on the civil service advisory board and
also his congressional back pay grab, and asks
whether Mr. 5. was appointed to his new Office
because he took the money, or took the money
because he was appointed to the Office, and
whether that sort of thing is calculated to
strengthen public faith in civil service reform
any way?
Our correspondent is too hard for us except
on the last point In regard to that We have
pretty decided convictions, as we suppose all
persons must have who were not members of the
last Congress. But, in view of all the considera-
lions involved, We incline to the opinion that
Mr. Shellabarger's appointmen mt must have been
made during that bright but brief period when
the public was led to suppose, from published
statements TO that effect, that he had yirtuous,v
spurned the money, and before he published his
elaborate argument to show that he had legal
ana moral right to take it. 1t hardly seems
possible that that remarkable document could
nave ante-dated his commission.

From various indications the experiment of
stocking rivers with certain kinds of fish will
generally prove q success, although the shad-
Iropagating operations commenced too late on
the southern Atlantic coast this spring. In
June, 1871, 10, 900 young shsd from the Hudson
were placed in the upper waters Of the Sacra-
Iaento, and the Californians are now catchina
them in considerable numbers. They are the
first shad ever caught in California waters.

The Cumberland Tsres copies the recent
article Of THE STAR on "Rsilroads and Ca
nails" introducing it thus:
"The following from the Washington STAR
Is an able resume Of the state of facts that set
people hereabouts to asking. is the canal run
in the interest OF the b. & o. railroad?'"
The pertinence of this query is illustrated By
the Cumberland Necs, which says:
alt was currently rumered in thi city yes
terday that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company have acquired the bulk of the stock
of the Consolidation coal company. AS the
ownership of this stock carries with il the own
ership of the Cumberland and PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, the only outlet of the coal region of
this county, the importance Of the change will
be at once apparent. By this move the Penn
sylvania Central railroad is effectually debarred
from coming into the county to compete in the
coal-carrying trade, and the canal will be af-
fected by the change to an extent that will
place 1t completely under railroad control. The
rumor, although perhaps premature, points to
conclusion that we have long since regarded
as inc yitable.Y

few days ago We referred to the great desira-
bility of a union of the two wings of the Presby-
terrain church in the United States, and stated
that since the civil war, which divided the
church, has long been over, there seemed to be
no insurmountable obstacle to a reunion. Ii is
gratifying 10 know that steps have already been
taken looking to such a reunion. AT the ses-
sion of the general assembly of the Presbyte-
Tian church in the United States" in Baltimore
on Saturday last, the Rev. III. G.. Baird, OF Nash
vile, Tenn, delegate from the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, was introduced to the
assembly, and spoke feelingly of the absence of
the body of the church south, with which his
church was most familiar. His church now
numbered $50 churches, with 125 900 or $50 900
communicants, and looked with profound in
terest upon the movement of the assembly
He believed that there should be but one Pres
byter1an church in America, and spoke at some
length of the disadvantages under which the
church labors a. it was now divided, earnestly
advocating oneness in Christ. The general as
sembly of his church is at this time in general
session at Huntsville, Ala. and il was for this
assembly to open the way for the return of his
church He would ask that a committees lib
eral-hearted, praying men be appointed by the
assembly TO meet a similar committee on the part
of the general assembly which he represented.
In his reply TO the Rev. DIR. Baird, the modera-
tor, the Rev. DIR. Crosby, stated that it gave
him great delight TO welcome a representative
of the Presbyterian Church South. He then
spoke feelingly of the desire for reunion, and
expressed the hope that God would crown the
efforts of the two assemblies with glorious full
fllment Subsequently, committee of five
was appointed to confer with similar COM
mittee from the assembly now in session at
Huntsville. Alabama, relative to a reunion.
Expressing the hope that the two wings of the
church may be reunited, the Baltimore Sun
says that the only difference between the two
assemblies is that of a proposition, the southern
body being designated, ''The General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church Of the United
States" and the northern organization, 1.-The
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
an the United States"

We regret to observe that the editor of the
New York Sun thinks il necessary, in the pros
ecutiOn of his spiteful raid on the local and
national government of the District of Column
bia, to misrepresent The STAR, by chasing it
among the Washington papers" that he says
"for months past have come freighted with
advertisements which are expressly prohibited
by law" that care kept standing month after
month at extortionate rates." and that are con-
tinued long after the time when they might be
OF use has passed by.
Nothing could be farther from the truth than
these charges, 80 far as THE STAR is concerned
as the editor of the San must have known if he
took any trouble to get at the facts of the case
before writing his article. No advertisements
whatever are inserted in this paper which are
in any way prohibited by law, OF which are not
expressly ordered in, before publication, by
competent authority. Neither are "extortion-
ate rates" charged for anything that is pub
lished in its columns. On the other hand its
prices, which are uniform throughout for the
same service, are as low for the equivalent
rendered as those of any paper in the United
States Nor Is IL true, nor does it approach the
truth, that advertisements of any kind are con-
fiRued in its columns after they are dead, as
"padding." On the contrary, il is a daily and
perplexiDg problem with US how to find room
for our fresh and live advertisements and at
the same time keep up with the news of the
day. The latter We propose to do always, and
we are consequently so often obliged to put ad-
vertisements over that we no longer make con-
tracts for consecutive insertions, except where
continuity is required by peculiar circum-
stances
The editor Of the San is welcome to express
any opinions he may choose to entertain as to
what course THE STAR should or should not
pursue editorially, but when he wishes to charge
bad faith or fraudulent practices in its conduct
he will do well to confne himself to the truth,
and make only such statements as he can sub
ktantiate.

1t is not at all likely that any irregulari-
ties will be found in the contracts awarded for
the supply of Indian goods in New York. The
bids were read, and the awards were made pub
hcly, and with the consent and approval of
gentlemen whose personal and official integrity
cannot be questioned. The stories of fraud
probably originated from the refusal of the
board to allow a bidder to modify his bid after
a number of other bids had been publicly read.
The board cosld not accede to this request, be-
cause such a course would have been manifest
injustice to other competitors.
