CHURCH AND STATE.
Rev. DIR. Quinn's Lecture at the Ca
fhcdraI Sunday Night.

The lecture of Rev. DIR. w. j. Quinn, Of
st. Mary's College, Kentucky, on "Re-
ligious Faith and Civil Allegiance" deliv-
cred al the Cathedral Sunday night, has
excited much favorable comment The
Cathedral was densely crowded with eager
listeners, many being unable TO obtain
seats.
The speaker introduced his subject with
an allusiOn to the interest it has obtained
with the daily press and periodical litera-
ture Of late years. He then proceeded to
argue that man was a compound being,
having a spiritual side and material side;
that, as the former was superior to the lat
ter, its laws should be obeyed In preference
to the latter's, in case of a conflict. The
Scripture, sRender unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars and unto God the things
that are Gods embodied the rule
OF conduct in the event of conflict be-
tween the authority Of the State and the
authority of the Church. With this fOun-
dation. the lecturer entered with spirit and
eloquence upon discussion Of the policy
of Bismarck and Gladstone toward the
Catholic Church of Germany and Great
Britain. He assailed the course Of the two
great politicians with much force, and it
was herein that he succeeded in making
the deep impression he did on the mind OF
his audience.
The excellent choir of the Cathedral rem
dered the music of the occasion. We I'M
derstand that an effort was made yesterday
to get DR.. Quinn's consent to lecture again
| in the city before his departure.

East Trottinx stock i'm Maury.

A Columbia correspondent Of the Turf,
Field and Farm writes as follows to that
paper: 81 send you list of some Of the
trotting horses in training here at the Co
lumbia Fair Grounds track, in charge OF
William II. Downing, the well-known
driver: No. If Bay stallion Murray Ham
bletonian, years old, by Imperial, dam
Lady Sanford, the dam of Jay Gould; he
is trotting fast and will be a hard one to
beat next year. No. ?, bay mare Diana, @
years old, star and three white feet, by st.
Elmo, dam nearly thoroughbred. This
mare is trotting fast; no record. She can
trot from sunrise till sunset and keep com
ing. Downing saws she is a nail-driver.
No. 3, bay mare, years old, by Vermont,
dam fine bred mare. She is all style, ac-
ton and speed combined, and can trOt fast
and stay there. No. 4, gray gelding, 4
years old, fine style. No. 5, grey gelding,
8 years old, fine style. These two make
rafting team together, and are the pass Of
the road here. They took the first pre-
MUM here for finest and fastest team last
fall. No. 6, bay FLY, three white feet and
star, by Black Prince, he by Long Island
Black Hawk, her dam a thoroughbred
mare. This FLY is two years old, and can
trot as fast as anybOdy's twO-year old, and
il will take good one to stay with her the
last quarter. No. Z, bay stallion, 9 years
old, by Rather, dam thoroughbred mare.
This horse bids fair to make a good one."

The Negro Ball Nuisance.

Commendable efforts were made a few
weeks ago, by colored preachers and other
morally disposed persons Of that race, to
suppress the rowdy balls, at that time Of
almost nightly occurrence in some parts OF
the city, and not without some good re-
suits. The balls were for time diScon-
tiDued, or occurred so seldom, and under
such restraining influences, as to have no
room for public complaint. But they have
broken out afresh, and with somethingofthe
wild fury and dire consequences Of former
times. As already noted, a colored woman
the other night went home from one OF
these boisterous assemblies and committed
suicide with poison. The next night a ne
gro, named Ike Woods, shot woman in the
forehead, Just after the two had returned TO
the woman's home from negro ball IN an
other part of the city. 1t is important to
peace and order, that these frolics, so fruit
ful of disaster to those who participate in
them, and so annoying to citizens near
whose homes they occur, should be again
discontinued. If efforts similar to those
used on a former occasion cannot avail any
thing, more rigid policy ought to be
adopted tow ard them.
