BISHOP QUINTARp.

The Memphis Appeal of the 10Th inst,
referring to the late controversy between
Bishop Quintard and DR.. Rogers, says,
that while few years ago the Bishop de
posed DIR. Rogers for preaching the doc
trine of transubstantiation and administer
ing the sacrament with the communion
table decorated as an altar of the Romish
Church, the Bishop is now guilty of the
same offence. DIR. Rogers went over to the
Romish Church. and his case attracted
much notice. Ofthe Bishops course the
Appeal says: tH ...
1t will he seen that Bishop Quintard
Celebrated mass" at st. Ignatius's church,
New York, surrounded by clergy, every
one of whom united with him in asserting
the doctrines of the.real presence, prayers
for the dead, confession and use of eucha~
ristic .vestments and lights DIR. Rogers
went no farther. And thus it ever is.
Time vindicates, and brings changes some
times most surprising to those on whom it
makes most change. DIR. Rogers was only
little in ADVANCE of his Bishop, a little
holder perhaps, when he stoutly declaim-
ed for the introduction of the old doctrines
and symbolisms into the service of the
Episcopal church. He saw what many
now admit, that the Anglican and Anglo
American churches were destined to expe-
rience a change and being heart and soul
in sympathy with those who urged that
change, he thought he would initiate it on
the banks of the Mississippi, He attempt
ed it, but was silenced by the now sacra-
mental Bishop. Whether the Episcopali-
ans of Tennessee will permit their bishop
to participate in services and preach doc
trines Numerically opposed to their thir-
ty-nine articles, and to their ordination
services, we do not know That is their
business, and not ours. We have nothing
to say on that head. And we devote this
much space to the matter only to recall to
our readers the facts of DIR. Rogers move
ments that they might see how fully he
stands vindicated and justified by the
bishop who interdicted him from doing
just what he himself did in st. Ignatius's
church. "Time works wonders"

THE members of our State Government
ought to have more an eye to business in
their summer recreations. They have
been scattered over the State for months,
taking their annual vacations at the vari-
Gus watering places in Middle and East
Tennessee. Why do they not concen-
trate their brilliant intellects and
high social requirements and make
famous some one watering place ?
Grant has made Long Branch.
Why can't Brown and his staff of eo-labor-
ers make some point in Tennessee equally
prominent? True, Hobbs would be missed
from the social gathering, but there in his
place we would see Burch. Aside from
that little twelve thousand dollar transact
ton. it was a wonderful loss to the State
in the resignation of Hobbs. There is
something classical and poetical in the
name, a summer watering place with
Brown and Hobbs and Gibbs for the CEN
traltigure would be so popular and fash
ionable. But Burch will take the place of
Hobbs so let Us have the State patronage
to give US a recognized popular resort equal
to Long Branch or Potsdam, Buckingham
or ChiselhuTst. .

THE Democratic press of the State are
just now so engrossed with the wonderful
resources, mineral, &c, of Tennessee that
they have no space TO devote to discussing
the now important subject, Of the health
fulnes of the State Capitol, We would
like 10 hear their views as to how much
risk "a man in feeble health would be justi-
fed in taking for the sake Of an office
worth $4,000. The condition of Hobbs

THE public are awaiting with deep sus-
pense the revelations concerning that
$4,000 alleged to have been paid Hobbs
for resigning. 1t has been common rumor
at Nashville for months that there was a
job connected with the change in the
Comptrollership. The Audldnche processes
to know something about it and intimates
that the funders paid the bill. No matter
who furnished the money, thepublic want
to know who did it. Let the Avalonche

WE print elsewhere the details Of a
fraud of the Scott county land swindlers
which shows the importance.of legislation
in reference to the present system of grant
ing patents for lands. Under our present
laws grant can be taken out for the lot
on which our court house stands. OF
course it CONVEYS no Gtle-is worth no
more than piece of blank paper, but
still it can be made the basis of fraud
There Is no reason in having law that
permits such proceedings. If a special
session of the Legislature is called, we
trust the Governor will make this matter
a subject for special legislation. The State
suffers greatly by such frauds as the CRoN-
ICLE has exposed.

WE invite attention to the first count in
the declaration filed in the suit of Wor>
mack VS.. Hobbs. Wormack was Hobbs
clerk, and says Hobbs promised him a
clerkship for two years. He sues for dam
ages for being deprived of his place, and
charges that Hobbs sold his office for
money. 1t would seem from Wormack
that it wasn't humidity" that drove
Hobbs away.

that with A" GOODNESS, intrepidity and gall

PEOPLE who think the President of the
United States is extravagantly paid by a
salary of fifty thousand dollars year,
ought to move to England and help pay
the expenses disappearing their royal fami-
ly. Sometime ago we noted the fact that
the Sailor Prince of England, the second
son of Queen Victoria, was to marry the
daughter of the Car of the Russias. The
subject was brought to the attention of the
English Parliament, and the House of
Lords, without debate, voted the young
Prince one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars annually. This is but one
member of the Queens household, and the
sum voted him will give our readers some
idea of the cost of supporting that family.
At the beginning of her reign Queen VIC
toria was allowed three hundred and
eighty-fve thousand pounds sterling or
| about one million a6lc hundred thousand
dollars pei, year for her expenses. She was
not to have q private income, but since
i-len that has been changed so that now
her yearly revenues or the value of her
property is not known. In Europe all
such matters are Withheld fromthe public.
1--we were to add to the Queens allowance
the sums annually paid her. children, We
would find that the cost of supporting
England's Queen is JJty times what it costs

II is bad taste for Southern politicians to
be drawing comparisons between New
Orleans and Boston, and whining that
the former is not so prosperous as the lat
ter. If New Orleans had put forth the
same effort that Boston has, there could be
nothing to complain of. But unfortunate
New Orleans was controlled for half cen
fury almost, by set Of madmen, whose
only purpose was to destroy the Govern
ment. Let the people of New Orleans
and the South show that they think less
of political revolution and more of their
material welfare, and they will receive
aid and encouragement accordingly.

THE Appeal seems to be engaged in .
desperate effort to arouse the Memphis peo-
pie to knowledge of their latent great
ness. 1t says:
If proper means be used by our people
now, more can be done in the next two
or three years to promote the growth and
prosperity Of Memphis than has been pos
sible during the last twelve years.
If this be so, Memphis ought TO think
less of the dirk and pistol, and join with
the ApPoay in its effort to attain greatness.

SOME one has taken the trouble to figure
out that the 4th OF March, 1877, when the
next president is to be inaugurated, will
come on Sunday. An exchange thereupon
recites the following historical facts;
In ISL the fourth of March occurred on
Sunday, and James Monroe was inaugu-
rated President for his second term on the
following Monday, March 9Th. In lSl0,
General Zichary Taylor was President
elect, the Attn of March was Sunday, and
he was inau gurated on Monday, the fifth.

interregnum, and the people Of the United
States were wholly Unconscious that they
were without an executive head for TWEEN

WE made reference few days ago to the
difference between the salary of the Presi-
dent of the United States and the cost of
supporting the royal family of England.
a correspondent of the New York Times
writing from England says the subject is
being agitated pretty generally. He says:
at is obvious that if a royal family is to
be kept up at all, it should be kept up
handsomely. At present it costs the coun-
try G515,0OO year-e3S5, 900 for the
Queens Civil List, and G13OO0O for the
rest of the royal family and, as Mr.. Glad
stone said, half a million a year is not a
very large slice out of national income Of
GS00, 100000"
The sum named as the cost of the
Queens family is equal to about 81, 100000.
The salaries of all our Senators and Rep
resentatives and the President under the
increased salary bill is-only about three
millions per year, The above estimate of
the English correspondent does not in
clude all the family, Prince Leapold and
the Princess Beatrice are yet unprovided

important to consider the probable effect

HUMAN nature is about the same now
that it was hundred years ago. Some
people like to look upon, the dark side of
lifes picture. We know of intelligent
and good people who imagine that man
kind is wicbeder now than ever before and
that in America, governmental affairs are
more corruptly managed than anywhere
else. We do not agree with these persons.
| We are not unmindful Of the corruption
and wrong about us, but we cannot lose

progress of our age, agencies for good eN-
I tend their influence even more rapidlythan
those for evil. srr InlE
In governmental affairs, while there is
enough to warrant protest aud prompt ex-
posure, there is little, if any, greater cause
for alarm now than there has been in form
er years. While it is no excuse for us that
other governments are worse than ours, it
is nevertheless a consolation to know that
it is so. An American writero of reputation
and character, now in England, writes
from london some very sensible things on
this point, and we submit them for the
consideration OF our readers. The writer
says: @''' 'F

truth, and the English concede everything
that IS calculated to shake established Gus

drunk, not only our own country, but all
Europe is acquainted with the fact. If

HOBBS held an Office Comptroller of the
State-worth $4,000. 1t was, to use a
common expression, a fat office. 1t was
good thiAgsl He resigned it and in doing
so gave up fifty thousand dollars He said
ne resigned il on account Of bad health,
and his physicians in their certificate say
he is afflicted with pulmonary" troubles
and that they think his health would be
in danger in the State Capitol, "a build
ingthat generates much humidity or damp
ness of the atmosphere !" That is, Mr..
Hobbs claims that he gave up $780,
600 Office because his health was threaten
ed. We'll we know Of a good many men
in rather delicate health, who would like
to risk it for a yeaf amid the - humidity
and danipnessr Of the capitol for $4,000.
If in really delicate health, they might
! turn over most of the hard work to clerks.
! They would at least risk signing theirniunes
a few times day for the nice little fortune
of $50, 900. Hobbs must have been in very
precarious health not to have been able to
superintend the Comptroller's work
( for one year for that snug sum.
Some people will believe his story,
and some won't. He knew about
his delicate health before he contended for
the Office, and he should have spared him
self the pain of throwing it up with its
rich perquisites. We are sorry for Hobbs
Burch is not troubled with delicate health.
If he were, we know he would stand that

There is no danger now that the Banner
