THE OHRIsTIAN ADVOCATE HEARD, FROM.
The Chicago Almanac, whom properly oom-
pslod. will contain marginal noto on tho page
Of every alternate month something like this:
"Lools out for something foolish in, tla North
soeste'1s Christian Aduocate.s, .Thia truthful
shoot ia shocked by tho Sunday morning i,oisa-
pnper-train. and lit the fu1lnees Of lta grief On
the subject Of Sabbath dosecratlon 1t lnyeigha
even against Sunday camp-lneaslng trims. For
minister to advocate Sunday camp.meetlng
trains and then diacountonanco suudny uows-
papers, 1t aays, ia to take misconBtruablo
position."'
Wa think it Is the Advocate itself that takes
misconstruab1e position, for 1t has tho temerity
and imperiuonca to ask the Rev. hIr. Mitchell
md the Row. Mr. Bartlett to omit tho 20th clap
ter Of Exodus from thoir Biblo readings. else
The TRIBUNE will be offended with those worthy
crushing, the triumphant exclamation ''1ogic

sad for slnnora, 60 also is Gods 1aw inexurabIo."
Tho conclusion, Of course. Ia that Gods lnw ,iB
committed against nowspaper-trains on tho first

The editor Of tho Aduocate is IN ignoranua-

tho Christian Church know and fully admit tint

tho editor Of the Aduocato doos not want to

he ia more ignorant than malevolont, wo invite

orthodox divine for orthodox readers, embracing
the entirs literature Of tho subject from tho
Apostolic days to the proaont timo-a work, ne
may add, not by any means misconstruablo."
After examining this Eork wo think that he may

The UNH1CATIoN OF GERMANy.--It appears
from cable despatch published to-day
that there was some mistake as to the
reported action Of the Federal Council of
State of Germany voting on the act for the
civil registration Of births, deaths and mar
riages. 1t is denied, in q semi-oficial tele-
gram from Berlin to London, that the Federal
Council voted to extend the new Prussian law
to oil the States Of the Empire. On the con-
trary, it is said the Council really rejected the
bill on the ground that its provisions ore not
in harmony with the legislation of the differ
ept States. Thus, with all the tendency to
imperial consolidation in Germany, there
still remains O powerful State rights sent-
ment Yet the Federal Council wants har-
mony, and has consequently invited Prince
Bismarck, as Chancellor, to prepare new
bill applicable to the whole Empire. No
statesman knows better. probably. when the
time is ripe to enforce his indomitable will
and when it is prudent to reach an object by
cautious steps. He will, doubtless, keep in
view the untication and strengthening of the
Empire, but he is too wise to fight windmills
OF endanger the domestic peace Of Germany.

One of the conditions of the Virginius set
Element with Spain was that Spain should pay
an indemnity to the sailors seized and to the
relatives of those killed unless she could show
within given period to the satisfaction of our
State Department that the Virginius was not
an American ship in such sense as entitled her
to the protection of our laws. Has Spain sat.
isfed our State Department on this head, and
has the whole subject been permitted to drop
by the facile gentlemen who sustain the inter-
ests Of our people SO very gently when they
are opposed to Spanish interests? Will some
one in Washington stir it up and let us know
how the case stands? England attitude will
give interest to ours. If we have abandoned
this case it is because We have admitted, in
Spanish showing, that the Virginius was not
on American ship; but England, at this mo-
ment. is pressing her case against Spain. bas-
ing it on the irrefragable evidence thoroughly
satisfactory to her that the virginius was an
American ship. She was, says John Bull.
an American ship as against any other nation.
Though the United States might criticise her
papers, Spain must have respected them she
had regarded international laws Therefore,
as she was an American, Spain had no control
over persons on her, and Spain must pay. It
is queer to find England maintaining the
rights OF our ships when our State Department
has abandoned them

EIGHT HoUEs.-We are glad the proposal of
Mr.. Dunnell to repeal the Eight Hour law in
the House yesterday was defeated. There is
no doubt good deal Of sentiment on this
question Of eight hours for labor. There are
very few industrious men, whether they labor
at masonry or literature, who do not work
more than eight hours day from sheer love
of work. But this should be matter Of
option, as it always will be. So far as the law
is concerned and SO far as labor has any rela-
tons to capital the Eight Hour law is wise.
One effect will be that all questions of hours
will fade away, and laboring men will be pa i'd
for the work they actually do and not for tn
time employed in doing it. This we should
be glad to see as step towards the inde-
pendence of the workingman

WE AGREE with Mr.. Conkling that in our
careless way of passing bills for the relief of
people who suffered during the war; we
shall soon have jefferson Davis and those who
acted with him asking compensation for
cotton used in the defence of vicksburg.
There was bill before the Senate yesterday
to relieve q certain Mr.. Anderson, of Ken
lucky. by paying him for cotton used in
Nashville. We have no doubt there are many
cases OF extreme hardship in the South which
should receive relief and to which it would be
wise and mercitul to extend aid, but we can
not do SO by this haphazard legislation. Let
there be o comprehensive law based upon o
wise system governing all these cases, and the
matter can pass into the jurisdiction OF the
courts

AN EDUCATED Oh UNEDucATED MINISTRY is
lively theme just now among the doctors of
the Methodist Church. Yesterday it was dis
cussed at gathering OF the preachers at No.
805 Broadway. Our readers can see the re-
port in another part of the paper and take
whichever horn of the dilemma they choose.
For our part we think preachers of the Gospel
cannot be too we'll educated. At the same
time there is some truth in the argument that
prolonged and dry education in mere
verbiage and hair-sphtting technicalities may
tend to eliminate that vigorous spirit Of the
Gospel which did SO much to build up the
Methodist Church.

A CHANCE FOR THE SoLDIERs.-The House

to prescribe rules and regulations to test
the qualifications Of candidates for Office. Our
discharged soldiers and sailors may have q
better chance OF appointment.

The news from Japan and China is unu-
sually interesting. Its features are both
serious and comical at the same time. The
Formosa expedition, for example, which the
japanese government organized some time
ago for a descent on Formosa, and then coun.
demanded its orders, resolved to go at all
events The despatch from San Francisco
containing the news, brought by the Great
Republic steamship from Japan, says the
Formosa. The government had really to
yield to the will Of the soldiers 80 far as to
send them to Annoy, intending, however, that
they should remain there till the Chinese
government could be sounded on the subject
But, like our filibusters, these Asiatics were
spelling for fight, and actually went to For
mosa on their own responsibility. 1t appears,
however, that they met with opposition from
the Formosans. The result remains to be
seen. There is speck of trouble also
at Corea. Eighteen Japanese were be-
headed by the Coreans simply because they
were Japanese. This shows q bitter feeling OF
hostility against the Japanese. The Coreans
were building forts and drilling troops for
defence against Japan. There had been an
attack on the house Of the British Legation at
Jeddo. with view to arrest some one con-
nected with the Legation who was charged
with an offence against japanese law. At
Shanghai, China, Chinese mob had attacked
the French quarters, which happened to be
too near joss house to suit the devout Ce-
lestials. The French were making road to
their quarters, which went near the joss
house. Five thousand Chinese, it is reported.
were engaged in the assault. The riot was
quelled finally by the French police, assisted
by the English. There is, evidently, good
deal of fermentation among the Mongolians
arising out of prejudices of race and religion
and about the Corean and Formosa business.
