TIE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN,
PARITY

1HE LlBERAL REPCBLICAl
PARTY:
lFrom the Cincinnati Comnercial.1
! We saw at one Of the ward poll,
yesterday colored citizens goins
about, wide mouthed. inquiring
"Whar is de Liberal Republican
pafty2" Whether he was an old
line Republican, or one of those
black swans who affiliate with the
Liberals, we are unable to find out
but he seemed sadley puzzled. by
the mysterious disappearance Of a
party that, in his ward, had been a
significant political force. -
So far as this city is concerned,
the Liberal Republican party is
nowhere in particular. It has
vanished mizzled-gone out.
There is no trace Of il in the result
Of yesterdays election a. an entity,
an individuality. And yet it was a
promising child, of robust constitu-
ton and healthy growth, and q fair
future before it,
We helped to foster that infant,
and mourn it's early departure
cut off, as it seems, in the flower of
its youth. The taking away of a
child is always q sad event.
We know not what pos
sibilities were wrapped in the future
of its existence. There mighthave
been great orator, a great states
man, a great poet, or a great soldier.
Who can tell2 The saddest Of all
words are, says the poet, ''it might
have been."
And SO the early demise of the
Liberal Republicans party becomes
regrettable. Had it's existence been
prolonged, had it lived until it's
muscle was developed and its
faculties Of mind matured,
it might have worked a
valuable reform in American poll
tics; it might have introduced
honesty into Office, economy into
administration, purity into politics,
and genius and culture into high
places. There is no saying how
great a revolution it might have
wrought in public affairs.
It was q lovely child as far as it
got, but it did not get far enough.
It died-died in the city that may
be said to have given it birth,
certainly where it received the kind
est and most tender nourishing. So
singular and sudden a taking off OF
SO promising an infant is what dis
tracted the brain and gave pathos
to the tones Of the inquiring colored
citizen.
Our readers have all heard of the
man who made the bet that he could
eat six dozen ard-boiled eggs He
won the bet, but he died Of the per-
formance. The eggs were too much
for him. This was pretty much the
disease of which the Liberal Re-
publican child died. It was a case
of indigestion. It undertook the
feat of devouring hard-boiled Demo-
crats-the entire party, in faci, and
an insu&ciency Of gastric juice led
to fatal consequences.
The Democratic party survived
this effort to bolt and digestzit. It
lived as miraculously as Sonah in
the whales belly; and in its turn it
swallowed the Liberal infant. There
is where the child is now-in the
belly Of the Democratic party, help
ing to protude its abdomen, and
give it pursy and prosperous ap-I
pearance. Our colored citizen,
who was in search of the infant
yesterday, will find in the returns Of
the election this morning the only
evidence we now have that there
ever was such q thing as the Liberal
Republican party in Cincinnati.
And 80 passes away the glory Of the

Letter from Bishop Johns.

We do not need to call special atten-
tIon to the letter Of Bishop JOINS in this
mornings paper in answer to the letter
OF Mr. LATANE. 1t will OF course attract
general notice as soon as It sees the light,
and be read by all who take an interest
IN the subjects that have been so freely
discussed In our columns for the last sew.
eral weeks. 1t will be seen that while the
venerable Bishop does not disguise the
general similarity and sympathy OF his
views with those of Mr.. LATANE, yet he
Is nevertheless sternly set against the
idea oil Withdrawing from the church on
account OF them. By those who favor
the Reformed Movement, this letter will be
regarded as a matter Of course document;
coming as It does from the Bishop Of the
Diocese, he was no: expected, they will
say, 10 give in his adhesion to the with.
drawal Of Mr. LATANE, for that would
mean disinteGration. il not anarchy, In
the Diocese. Whatever may be said in this
way, we have no doubt that the Bishop,
old and conservative as he Is, expresses
the views he has long entertained in
regard to what Is known as High and
Low Church, and that he does not fully
share Mr.. LATANE's apprehenslohs as to
the final domlnancy oI the former in the
Episcopal body. Like Bishop MCILvAINR,
whom he quotes, he thinks that all the
essentials as regards the history and ira.
iItons Of the Church are with the Low
Church party, and, such being the case,
that the Prayer Book iS no more open to
exception than certain portions OF Scrip.
ture, that have been wrested from their
proper Interpretation, are open 10 excep.
IIon. he, however, hints at the possibil.
ity OI amending the Prayer Book not
Withstanding his convictions as to its prop
sr Interpretation. While Scripture can.
not be amended, he says that the Prayer
Book can. Until II ia amended, how.
ever, he concelves 1t to be the duty Of al
within the fold to remain there and
throw their influence on tue side of
Evangelical views.
Without discussing the position taken
by the Bishop, we submit his letter to our
readers as an interesting document. To
do Justice both TO 1t and to Mr.. LATANa's
letter they should be compared arresh by
readers who take q special interest in the
subject.

Important Action OF Council Last
Night.

II will be seen by our report Of Coun-
ell proceedings last night that both
branches COncurred in repeating the ordi'
usnce, passed gu the Goth Of January,
1878, that appropriated 100000 to the
Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad and a
Ike amount to the Wheeling & Ohio
Onion Railroad. There was decidedly
less opposition 10 this repeal than wa
looked for. Indeed, we are both surpris-
ed and gratihed to see so little opposition.
1t shows that the sober second thought
has been at work, aided by the influences
OF the panic and the general run Of
events, local and otherwise, during the
year that has passed, and that our
authorities do not care to Jeopardize the
larare prosperity of the city In any more
railroad enterprises uatil they can see
tAelr way clearer. 10 this we fully con-
cur with them.
While WgwIsh the Wheeling & Lake
EtIe railroad tie most abundant success,
and hope II will be built speedily, yet
we DO uOI want to see our people assume
50 large share OF the risks Of the enter.
prise until they are further along in flnAn.
cial ability. Wheeling has made new
start within year past as manulactur.
Ing centre. Her capitalists have gone in
pretty heavily into several important en-.
terprises that need all the fostering care
Of light taxation TO insure their success.
Let US see these enterprises safe out Of
the woods before We experiment as to
how much taxation they can stand and
live, The lighter our taxes, the greater
the induceneut 10 engage in business in
our midst There Is no getting away
from this proposition We therefore hail
the action Of the Council last night as a
good omen for the future.
