STILL MARCHING ALONG.

After the passage of the civil rights
bill, and after Stewards Sixteenth
Amendment to enforce mixed schools
at the point of Federal bayonets and
Gatlin guns if necessary-what next?
John Browns soul keeps marching
on. The Radical party could not stop
there. However anxious it might be
the negroes with their S00,000-vote
power would prod it onward. The cry
would be still for more. Give them At,
inch, and they will demarE.a an ell.
What more can they demand,
asks the simple Southern reader;
but the answer is simpler. The blacks
|'1Il next demand, not merely division
Of the offices In the gift of the Radical
party, but a practical monopoly of
them in ali those States where they
constitute nine-tenths of the party.
The spirit of unrest will not cease till
every Federal official in the Southern
States is colored. Then would the
New England Gospel of Hate be ae-
complished-the negroes ruling their
former masters. The civil rights bill
itself, proves that there still fingers in
the Massachusetts, mind a craving
to punish and humiliate the
South even further than it has
been. Else why strike downthe school
system, to the detriment of the negro,
leaving its possible resurrection to the
tardy contingencies of a constitutional
amendment? We have already had in
timations of the negroes demand for
for Office. Our white Republicans
know they are but drop in the black
bucket of Southern Radicalism. They
know also that the party managers
will not hesitate to sacrifice them rath-
er than lose the colored vote. Herein
lies the secret animus that inspires the
white Radicals of the South against
civil rights, from Brownlow down or
up. Hinc ille lachTyme.

NORTHERN PRESBYTERIAN,
ri,s Woman 6aestioi.

ST.. LOUIS, May 29.-Another exciting
scene occurred in the General Assembly
this morning. An overture from Rock
River, H., Presb5tetY was presented, which
desired tie Assembly to tell them if st.
Pauls language, concerning the preaching
and praying of women in public should be
interpreted literally, and whether it applies
to the praying of women at weekly prayer
meetings. DIR. Crosby said, "Yes, except
in special cases to be decided by the pas
tor,s but many voices cried, "No, no."
Judge Drake said if the Scriptures spoke
plainly upon this subiect-forbiddin
women to speak or pray-then the answer
should be no. If they do not, then it should
be an emphatic yes. [Applause.
DR.. Achman thought women should not
speak or pray in public.
DIR. Blynn, of Troy, N. Y, thought
women the greatest power in the Church,
from the Assembly and gallery.
Several speeches were made pro and con
and the demonstrations ofapproval and dis
approval were frequent and hearty.
DR.. Crosby said a long debate on this
question would lead to things which
would initiate against the perfect reunion
OF IQe Two DOulcS Vi TIC OuuIC1T duO doACu
members to let it alone.
Finally the matter was referred to
committee Of seven.
Presbytery Lawrence, Of Newi York,
wanted an expression Of the Assembly on
the question of total abstinence which
led to another discussion and the same re-
suit. Referred to special committee.
The regular order of the day-shall the
Board of Education remain as at present
then came up and was discussed.
CoRRECTIoN.-Theo overture asking an
expression of the Assembly regarding total
abstinence was placed on the docket, not
referred to a committee.
After a lengthy discussion itwas decided,
by vote of 2lS to las, that the Board Of
Education and the Common Ministerial
Relief should remain separate, but with
only one treasurer for both departments.
In the evening session The temperance
question was taken up again. DR.. Crosby,
Chairman of the Committee on Bills and
Overtures, recommended no action be
taken.
DIR. Atwater offered resolution that in
view of the increase of the terrible sin of
irtemperance, this Assembly cordially ap-
prove the practice of total abstinence from
all liquors as a beverage, and rejoicing in
the recent progress made in abating the use,
mixture and sale of the same, exhorting all
TO persevere in earnest efforts and prayer to
diminish and extirpate this evil.
DR.. Crosby said he believed the Presby-
terian Church should present an unbrOken
front against the accursed traffic, but he
found one obstacle to the accomplishment
of the work. Brethren want to force their
peculiar notions on others. Many believe
| teetotalism in the matter expedient. He
did too, and as a matter of expediency, It
was for man to judge of its application be
| fore God. Others wanted to make it the
law of the Church, but he objected to this,
for the reason that it no longer leaves man
| to decide.

Cincinnati Commercial, May 2s.


A prominent Walnut street commission
merchant, and a very intelligent gentleman,
who has recently returned from trip
through some of the Southern States, gives
the result of his observations to reporter
of the Commercial. The principal part OF
the time away from home was spent in the
Virginias, CaIOlinas, Alabama and Georgia,
and in the four last named States particu-
lar attention was paid TO the prospects OF
the cotton crop, which, our informant says,
is very backward. In those States there IS
a considerably less acreage planted than
last year. On numerous plantations the
cotton is not vet up, but where it is above
ground the stand is pretty good,
considering the UnfayoTable Ttaih-
or. 1t is the general impression
among well informed persons that the
whole yield for this years planting Will,
under ordinary circumstances, be about
three and a quarter million bales-three-
quarter Of 4 million bales less than the yield
from last years planting is calculated to be.
But the yield for this sprinT's planting viii
depend much on the maturing weather In
the fall. the seed having been got into the
ground nearly month later than the usual
time.
The planters, as a class, are very hard up
for money, and experiences much difnenty
in negotiating leans on future crops.

SoME one of our State exchanges
has made the remark that no tax-pay-

those who owe taxes, but have acquir-
ed chronic habit of delaying and
dodging payment. We suspect that
1t is certain provisions of the
assessment law which hurts these
fellows, instead of the measure on
which they concentrate their abuse.

CINCINNATI.
A Big Haul Of Big Fish-Ten Counter
fetters Arrested.

CINCINNATI, o., May 29.-United States
detectives have been in the city ever since
the haul OF counterfeiters in West Tennes-
see, nearly year ago, when it was ascer-
tanned that the counterfeit circulated there
was made in Ohio. The detectives did not
make themselves known TO anyone outside
of the United States Court officers, not
even to the city police, and their names to-
day are secret. Having worked the case
thoroughly they commenced last midnight
making arrests. George Stoeffelcamp, the
keeper Of a grocery was first taken,
and word getting out that he was
kidnapped, the metropolitan made vigor-
Gus search for the kidnappers. Arrests fol-
lowed rapidly, until ten persons were in
custody in the office of the United States
Marshal. Their names are Jennie Switch
ell. Jacob Devota, William Gordon, John
Mills, James T. Earle, John Kurtzmyer,
B. Stella, Mary Brown and VIM. Beckley.
The cases were continued till next week,
and all the parties, except StOefelcamp,
who gave bail, were put in the county Jail.
The exact amount and nature Of the evil
dence in possession of the detectives has
not been publicly developed.

their hose carriage. and are determined to

ON THE DEFENSIVE.
The Bluff City Squares Herself for a
Fight with the BlOated BOndholders.

Memphis Avalanche, May %.
The legal fight between Mayor League
and the holders Of city coupons has opened
in the United States Circuit Court, now in
session in Memphis. Two suits have been
brought, one by Vim. T. Booker, for
S2,913. 10, and another by John II. School
field, for $4,000. The defense urged by
Mr.. Hanson, the City Attorney, is based on
the doctrines set up 10y the Mayor IN his
special messages, and the City Attorney
has in these causes prepared the city's pleas
with great care and much labor. The trial
of these cases will be test causes, and will
be watched with interest by the general
public, and are of special interest to the
holders of coupons.
The Mayor insists that the city IS not IL
able when the bonds have been sold for less
than their face value, or if liable, then only
for what the holder paid, or the market va
lue of them.
1t will be remembered that the Supreme
Court of Tennessee has decided that the
city of Memphis has no authority to sell IT'S
bonds for less than their face value, and II
the city shows that the bonds have been
sold iliegally-WhO must suffer? IL Will
be singular sort of equity that will pro
tect private citizen from robbery, and also
legalize extortion from the people.
