THE WRONG CHURCH.

The pastor of Fall River Church having
made an arrangement to exchange pulpits
with a Methodist clergyman last Sunday,
the good brother came according TO agree
ment; but, unfortunately, at the appointed
time for afternoon service he walked into
the wrong church, entered the pulpit, and
took his seat. While the choir was singing
the voluntary, in came the pastor and dis
covered this brother clergyman seated COM
fOrtably in his place. The pastor, who
knew him, said: care you not in the
wrong church p He replied: 'NO, l
know where | am. | was to exchange with
the pastor of this church, to which the
pastor rejoined that he knew nothing of
such an arrangement, and proceeded to
give out the hymn and preach his sermon
as usual. Finally the strange brother
whispered: 81 really believe that / am in
the wrong place." At the church where he
was to preach the congregation sang,
waited, had prayer, and departed for home.

THE skies are bright! The final
overthrow of the Republican party is
at hand, and this is its last struggle in
Wisconsin for existence. 1t will be de-
feated this year in Wisconsin by from
10000 to 10000 majority. This defeat
will be its destruction, and it will never
rally again for serious struggle. 1t
will make one more attempt to live, as
a third-term party, with Grant for its
standard-bearer, IN 1876. and then it
will 90 out forever. This year will
witness the final act which precedes

RESTRICTIONS ON THE FRRNCH PRESS.
VERSAILLES, September 1S.-At meeting OF
the permanent committee of the Assembly last
evening, III. Tirard, of the left, interpellated
the government concerning the continuation of
its rigorous treatment of the press. He declared
the system intolersble and unequal in its appli
cation. Republican journals alone were sus-
pended. He protested against the recent warn
ing addressed to the Journal des Debdes. NJ.
Chaband La Tour, minister of the interior, re-
piled that the government was determined TO
oppose calumnies against the majority of the
Assembly and government. NtcOunt d'Abo-
vile, of the right, interposed pro-
test against the suspension of L'Unicerss, which
act he intimsted, came from foreign dictation.
Duke De Cazes, minister of foreign affairs,
pointed out that the Spanish ambassador was
still unaccredited when the Questionable arti-
Gle against Serrano was published by l. Uaicsys.
He emphatically denied that there was dicta-
ton from any quarter. In answer to another
question from D'Aboville, the Duke stated that
nothing had been done in regard to the with
drswal OF the man-of-w Orenoqle frem
Civita- Vecohia- He objected strongly TO the
exposure Of diplomatic business required BIZ i'm

CHARLESTON, September 1s.-The executive
committee of independent republicans. who
bolted the nomination of Chamberlain on the
ground of his participation in the frauds aud
misgoverDment during the Scott and Moses sd
mipistration, have issued a call for an inde-
pendent republican convention, to meet in
Charleston October 2d, to nominate q state
ticket.
One of the largest mass meetings of colored
republicans ever held In Charleston took place
at the City Hall last night, and was addressed
~ Congressman Ransier and others. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted with great
unsnimity: Resolued, That the denomination
of ID. II. Chamberlain fer Governor means
q continuance Of the corruption by which the
three last administrations, Of two of which ID.
ii. Chamberlain was attorney general, have
ruined our people and disgrsced our state.
Resolred, That we do hereby pledge ourselves
10 The support OF any honest republican uncon-
uected with the past corrupt administrations,
who may be set in nomination by the repubi-
can party.
The bolters viii probably nominate Judge
John ID. Green against Chamberlain. Mention
of Green's name during the meeting was re-
ceiyed with wild cheering. He is a native re.
publican, against whom no charge of dishonesty
is made, and his election would be satisfactory
to the taxpayers.

SUICIDE By HANGING TO A LAMP-Posr.-
Early yesterday morning as some Of the labor
ers employed in the Central park were pro-
ceediDg to their work, they discovered the dead
body OF man hanging to the bracket OF q
lamp post on the bridge of Transverse road No.
4. The park police were notified and word was
sent to Coroner Kessler, who took charge Of the
case and sent the body to the Morgue. From
papers found in the pocket OF the deceased his
name was ascertsined to be Sylvester Phiios.
He was evidently German, and, having no
money and but very few friends, concluded to
end his life by suicide. In memorandum left
by bim IL fs stated that he believes he Is his own
master, and having no religious scruplee does
not fear the hereafter. He wishes that the
rope used by him in hanging himself will be
sold, and the proceeds placed in the hands OF q
committee for the purpose OF founding another
charitable inetitution.-N, I, Tiuss, lltk.
