CoRoNER's CASES. - Tuesday after.
noon Coroner Winslow held an inquest
on the body of the unknown man found
drowned In the Delaware. The body
had evidently been In the water two or
three moAths, and may have been the
remains of one OF the deserters from the
monitor lying of the Christiana
in December last. There was nothing
about the deceased by which his
identity could be established, or no
dehnile evidence as to when or how
he died, and the jury, after some con.
sheraton, very guardedly concluded thai
the man was "FOund drowned" Coroner
| Wiuslow had the remains Inferred de

LONDON, Nov. IA. 1874.
The controversy between MIR. Gladstone and
Archbishop Manning, respecting civil allegi-
anoe, has created a profound impression among
all classes.
Mr.. Gladstone's pamphlet is entitled "The
Vatican DEGREES" 1t is a political expostula-
ton, formally challenging English Roman
Catholics to demonstrate, if possible, how the
obedience now required by the Pope can be
reconciled with the integrity of their
civil allegiance.
1t refers to his previous question, PROFOUND
ed 10 his article on "Ritualism and Ritual"
in the contemporary Reoiew, whether a hand
full of the clergy are or are not engaged in an
utterly hopeless and visionary effort to Roman
ize the Church and people of England. In
his magazine article Mr.. Gladstone doubted
whether such a scheme had been possible
at any time since the bloody reign of Mary,
adding that if it had been possible in the
SEVENTEEN or. eighteenth centuries it would
stia have become impossible in the nineteenth,
when Rome has substituted for the proud boast
Of semper eaden a policy of violence and
change of faith when she has refurbished and

erroneous assertion. | can only suppose him
to have been misled by a misplaced trust in
DIR. D6llinger and his friends. On public and
private grounds l lament this act of impru-
dence. But for my belief in Mr.. Gladstone's
sincerity | should say it was an act of injustice,
and lament it as out of all harmony and pro-
portion with the great statesman's life and the
first event to overcast a friendship of forty-fve
years. His public life hitherto has consolidated
Christian and civil peace in the three kingdoms.
This act, unless the provid nee of God aud the
good sense of Englishmen avert its evil con-
sequences, may wreck more than the work of
Mr.. GladStone's public career, and at the end
Of long life tarnish a great name.

Gen. MoGowan left Columbia yes.
terday morning. having met with a
cordiss reception here from his old
friends and made many new ones, who
will give him their support to-day for
Congress. This issue OF the PnGk1x
will reach many in this County and in
Newberry. Union, Spartanburg. Able
vile aud Anderson before they Gust
their votes in this election. To such
we would say that the position to
which Con. MCGOWAN has been nomi.
mated, is one OF vast Importance to the
people of the State. 1t is the duty US
we'll as the right of the voters to place
in this responsible Office nun of
talent, of integrity. of large views, OF
commanding oharacter-one fitted by
his liberal. enlightened and patriotic
views to represent all interests, races
and classes of our people. Gen. Nc
Gowan is just such man. He is not
bound up in the lines of party; he is
not trammeled by obligations; he
wears no mans aud no party's collar.
lie is staunch citizen, who embraces
III his big heart rich and poor alike,
the humble and the lofty. tho white
and the black. He will bu repre-
sentative of the whole people, capable
of rejecting honor in tho National
Legislature upon the State; aud rs able
US he IL. lie is willing to protect all its
interests and vindcate all it's rights.
we trust that his friends will work
faithfully for him to-day. And we
look especially to the colored citizens,
to whose race Gen. McGowan has rem
dered such disinterested services upon
every occasion that offered, nnd for
whom he feels the interest which birth,
long association and kindly relations
naturally engender, That they will re-
member their friend. Lot them to-
day contribute their part towards sus.
tanning the honor and character of the
State, in sustaining one of its most
honored citizens for an Office which has
been too long in our recent history the
perquisite of mediocrity, partisauship,
ignorance, bigotry and corruption.

What We have said of General Nc
Gowan in another place is equally true
of the gallant, able and upright Gen.
kershaw, and the grounds presented
for the support of the one apply with
equal force to engage the support of
the other. a purer man, q more yir-
tuous citizen, more capable and fit
representative of the whole people, can
not be fonnd in South Carolina or any,
where else, than Kershaw. The ad-
vancement Of such man would itself
be conclusive testimony to the virtue
and patriotism Of tue election in his
district. He has long and always been
disting nished by generous moderation
OF sentiments, by bipartisan feeling,
by the purpose to conciliate divergent
interests, to burmonizs autugonisms
between races and clusses, and by
earnest desire that the issues of the
past should be buried ou of sight aud
return no more to vex us and corrote
our prosperity. 1t has been n great
qualification to read OF his brilliant re
ception by the people, to notice that
his old, weil-known aud admirable
traits OF character, mind and heart
have boen brought ont in such fresh
ness and force in the course OF his can
vass. that it has become an ovation, u
sort OF triumphal march To success AID
victory. The whole country looks TO
the Intelligent voters in South Caro-
lima, black and white. to send to tho
halls of Congress only such men ns arc
qualified for the distinguished position,
men who will be the peers OF the best,
and whose industry, sngacty and un.
snliied character exerted in its behalf
will reflect honor upon our PROSTATE
State and assist to lift it up from its
degradation. OF all our present needs
tho most urgent is of good and capable
men in Congress. Gen. Kershnw has
too long remained il retiremc cnt. Let
him be placed where he rightfully be-
longs, and where ho may "most cf-
fectualIy serve the State"
