The democratic congressional caucus last
Saturday evening did all in their power TO
justify the Chicago Times in designating the
party as the rotten Renaissance" 1t has
been the custom from time immomorial for
the minority in the lower house OF congress
at the biennially recurring election of Speak
er, to compliment one of their number with
their vote for that Office When the caucus
met last Saturday evening to select the can.

ton was offered by Mr.. Holman, of Indiana,
TO exclude from the list members daubed
with the credit mobilIer or back pay pitch.
This raised tremendous row. The back pay
grabbers could see no justice in Furnishing
them for an act for which the republican par.
ty as the majority alone shonld be held respon.
sible. A vote was taken and Fernando Wood
a back pay grabber, received 30 votes, Rob.
inson, q ditto, 10 votes, and Cox of New
York who had rejected the back
pay 20 votes. Then Cox and Holman
left the caucus in disgust, and the compli-
nomination was given TO Wood.
1t is the curse Of the democratic party that
its representatives in congress participated
in all the bad legislation of the last session,
showing themselves as big thieves as the rad.

could have defeated some Of the most iniqul-
tous steals and now that the voice ofthc peo-

10 their folly. Whether the democratic par

that it can survive and retain such leaders is
not dcbatable minute.

Wednesday afternoon, Prosecutor
Crawley was notified by telegraph of a
homicide committed at Walkerton The
facts, in brief, are somewhat as follows:
johnson Virtue, a contractor on the B. &
o. railroad, has hitherto had q number OF
Swedes in his employ, and owing to the
late panic" has not been able to pay them
promptly. As consequence some of
them grew clamorous and ugly. Peter
Walquist, who was, it seems, sort of
leader among the Scandinavians, was es-
pecially outrageous, DIGGING Virtue, and
indulging In threats of violence On
Wednesday about half past / o'clock p.
n, as Virtue was about to take the train
for LaPorte (where he hoped to get the
cash to satisfy the men he owed), Wal
gust, at the head of a mob, approached
him with loaded and presented revolv-
er, and demanded his money. Thereup-
on Virtue drew pistol and shot Wal
quist, the ball entering above the left eye
and instantly killing the unfortunate
Swede. Virtue Immediately gave himself
up After preliminary examination be-
fore Justice Daley on Thursday-an ex-
animation protracted and searching
Virtue was discharged IS having acted in
self-defense. The people of Walkerton
are said to strongly sympathize with Vir-
tue. Capt. Crswley represented the State ;
Capt. Cole for the defense.-LaPorte

The protracted meeting at Conger's
school house, or Plymouth Mission, was
brought to close on last Sunday eve-
ming, with the result of some twenty-sev-
en- aecessions to the Church. 1t will be
remembered this society was organized
after the Disciplinary plan of employing
local preachers, and furnishing preaching
from the itinerant and local ministry to
such places as desired aid, until they
could support themselves. Rev. Boyd
has preached for them three times, and
exercised all the interest of pastoral over
sight possible; having organized the class
by transferring some members from the
station as basis. A Sunday school was
also organized, which has been flourish
ing. Revs. Rnpe and Cherry have been,
and are the regularly appointed supplies
until the next session of the District
Conference. Rev. Bro. Hines has been
very efficient aid in the late protracted eff
fort, having aided the laborers in the
field all he could. The ministerial aid to
the Mission is gratuitous, and proper care
of what has been done may result in this
point becoming part of circuit ere
long.

One cold day last week Mr.. Colfax dis.
covered man lying in the street near
his residence, IN South Bend, who was so
TAR overcome with whisky that he was
unable to move, and would probably have
persisted in the cold if he had not been
cared for by others. Mr.. c. procured an
express wagon, and put the man into it.
and with the driver, took the poor inc
oriate mile or so through the storm
which was prevailing at the time, to the
poor mans home, where he could have
the care of his wife. Such acts of kind.
ness mark the character of men,
This circumstance reminds us of anoth-
er, which happened in South Bend sever
al years ago. One cold, stormy winter
night F. r. Tut, Esq, being dangerous
" sick, was watched by his family and
other relatives, when a knock was heard
at the kitchen door. One of the family
opened it to see what was wanted, when
a man asked permission to come in and
warm. Supposing that the man was a
thief, or professional beggar, he was
told to go to hotel-that strangers were
not admitted into private houses at that
time of night. The man went off; but
there was one who heard the appeal, who
could not be satisfied to drive human
being from her door at such time, with
out making an effort to relieve his dis
tress- The lady spoken of was Mrs.
Lewis, sister of ESQ. Tut. She told
her brother, Mr.. Elliott Tut, that she
feared the poor man would perish with
the cold,-that he evidently knew not
where to 60 for relief, aud that he might
be driven from other houses as he had
from her brothers. Elliott's sympa-
thies were aroused, and tired and sleepy
as he was from long watching, he went
in search of the wanderer. He soon
found him, nearly frozen, and brought
him TO the house, gave hin warm bed
by the fire. and food to allay his gnawing
appetite. The circumstance was never
published.

The thoughtful teacher. we are sure,
will welcome the January number of The
National SUNDAY School Ieacter. In it
the Rev. Lewellyn Pratt uses a we'll
known fact in chemistry to illustrate the
effect of the mere presence of some teach
ers. There are good hints to be gathered
from it. Mr.. James H. kellogg treats upon
"The Giant Evil, and How the Children
may Stay It," Rev. b. T. Ii. Maycock
picks out some of those words in the Bible
which, by reason of change in the
meaning, are apt to mislead the reader. or
be to him as enigmatical as word puzzles.
Rev. Henry Clay Trumbull presents a
paper on The Evils of Sunday School
Oratory." The Rev. G. Taylor sup
plies an article on "rhe House Of Bond.
age" which is not only appropOs TO the
lessons, but contains some interesting
facts which teachers might not find ready
to hand. Lastly, we feel certain that all
will like the manifold suggestiveness of
the lessons as prepared by b. f. Jacobs.
The Teacher, we see, has new editor,
and of him the Adcancs says:
The Sunday School Ttacher, of this
city, has had the good fortune to secure
the editorial services OF Mr.. NJ. G. Hazard,
formerly connected with the Adcance.
Experienced and successful in practical
Sunday school work, ready with the pen
AMI skilled in editorial duties, he will
disappoInt those who know him if he
does not make The Teacher better next
year than ever before"
The editorial departments, which in
clude Editorial Miscellany" SUNDAY
School Gleanings," and Sunday School
Work" show that he brings no "uren
tice" hand to his new position.
