CHICAGO, April 29.-The Times au-

has decided upon taking an important
step, 1t says that8he is now preparing a
letter to the Presbytery, withdrawing
from the fellowship of the Presbyterian
Church, as his views are no longer in con-
sonance with its creed. The letter will
probably be presented to the Presbytery
at its meeting on next Monday. The
Fourth Presbyterian Church, of which he
is pastor, will follow him in his RECESSION
from the Church, where liberal thought
is denounced as heresy and progression
in religion is hated as the rankest infideE
ity. This course, it is said, has been de-
termined upon after much consideration.

--ea.,on Convention.

rhs Taylor County Convention, at
their meeting few days ago, took the
liberty OF naming the 9th of May as the
time for holding the proposed Capital re-
moving Convention at Grafton. The day
nreyiously suggested was the 25th, but
that day comes on Monday, and is there
fore not as suitable as Wednesday, the
97th. Thus far there has been no general
resnonse to the call for this Conyen-
tion. Whether there will be such
a response can not be known until
the various counties either act or de-
cline to act in the premises. The day is
not far off now, and it is therefore time
that all persons who favor the holdt1g OF
,be convention should take the necessary
stems to be represented in it. Grafton is
a central locality for the territory especial
lv embraced in the call for the convention,
viz-the First and Second Districts, and
can be as conveniently and inexpensively
reached as any other locality. By the
middle of May, or two weeks from now,
all the counties intending to be represent
ed should in some way let the fact be
known.

How TO AMEND OUR WEST VIRGINIA
CoNsT1TUT1oN.-Gov. KKMPER has sent
a special message TO the Virginia
Legislature, asking 1t to appoint com
mission of five or seven men to revise the
State Constitution, and submit their work
TO the next Legislature. The leading
journals of the State have been urging the
need of change in the fundamental law
and heartily approve of the Governors
suggestion. In order to become law, the
amendments must be approved by two
successive Legislatures, and then be ratl-
fed by mSority vote of the people.
Why is this not the proper way to over
haul and amend the present unpopular
Constitution of this State One or two OF
our cotemporaries have been advocating
another convention in order to revise our
Constitution, but we have felt called on to
oppose the calling together of such an ex-
pensive body for that purpose. The people
are weary of conventions. They have q
horror OF so much changeable and bupg-
ling legislation. They see the mistake
that was made in adopting the present
Constitution, but at the same time they
have no assurance that another conven-
ton would give them what they need in
the way Of amendments. They would
not object to see committee Of five first
class men appointed by the Governor for
the nurpose Of thoroughly revising the
present instrument. The work could be
well done for tithe of the expense
that would be incurred by q con-
vention. Deliver US from any more
conventions, with their interminable CAB
BILE, for years to come. But if five men,
carefully selected for their capacity from
the Democrats, jacob men and Republic
cans OF the State, could be appointed,
there would be reasonable prospect that
the present constitution could be made
unobjectionable to the people without
much expense as compared with con.
vention.

Cruelty to Pigeons.

Two boys named Dan Walls and
George Heaton were charged ut Leeds,
England, with cruelty to pigeons, and
Elijah Walls, the first named boys
father, and John Hunt, were charged
with aiding and abetting in the com.
mission Of tile offense. Mr.. George
Buckton said that on the 22d Of Sep.
tember, about FIVE o'clock in the alter
noon, while he was in his garden, he
heard the sound Of q slight explosion,
and looking into the air he saw o
pigeon flying which had evidently q
lighted cracker attached to its tail.
Going on TO the road, he saw the two
boys carrying abasket, and he caused
o police officer TO apprehend them. In
the basket were three pigeons, one Of
which had an unexploded cracker, con-
tanning twenty CRACKS" tied to It's
tail. They told him that Hunt had
given them the pigeons TO send up at
intervals Of Eve minutes. Inspector
Peet stated that in consequence Of what
the last witness told him he went to
Walls house and saw the four defen.
dants. In answer TO the charge, Walls
said, 1--WE had made o match for q sup
per, and tied crackers 10 the pigeons
tails fer the purpose Of making them
fly fast. We knew II was cruel, but We
will never do such o thing again" The
bench discharged the two boys and
fined the men 5s. and costs.

DIstrlbution Of the stars.

Professor B. a. Gould, who has just
returned from the Argentine Confed-
Grafton, where he has established q
we'll equipped astronomical observa-
tory, brings home some observations
which could not be made in less clear
atmosphere. At the late meeting OF
the Association for the Advancement OF
Science he spoke Of the Milky Way. as
seen in Cordoba, and the belief that
the number Of stars Of any given mag
nitude increases toward the Galaxy.
He said that q great circle or zone OF
bright stars seems TO intersect the
Milky Way at the Southern Gross and
Cassiopeia. The inclination OF the
stream Of stars to the Milky Way IS
abont 25 deg. Part Of this zone has
been previously recognized by Sir John
Herschel. DIR. Gould thought that two
questions discussed by him, the by.
pothesis OF IN equable distribution OF
stars being one, and this discovery OF
o well marked zone OF very bright stars
near the Milky Way being the other,
may assist In determining the position
Of our sun in reference 10 It's own clus.
ter, as we'll as other great astronomical
questions.

Captured After Many Years.

Fraught as the last sixteen years
have been with grand events, which
have changed the destinies Of nations,
news 10 thrill so many hearts has, per.
haps, never been flashed through the
wires as the brief message that Mana
Sahib, the once noted Hindoo chief,
has at last been captured.
Like thunder in clear sky, the In.
dian mutiny Of 1857 shocked while II
astounded the civilized world. The
well OF Cawnpore has become shrine.
The demon hero Of that awful deed was
Mana sahib. Hunted like wolf in the
field, his followers slain, his every
effort OF resistance cast to the winds by
the fierce and sleepless wrath Of the
avengers, the baffled prince has been q
fugitive oil these weary years. Not for
a second has the search relaxed. Every
mans hand has been armed against
him. Immense rewards have been
offered, and he has been tracked and
pursued all over Asia. Rumors brought
ever and anon by flying Cossids would
place him at Herat or Yarkand, Aeppo
or Bokhara. There, on the spur, hur-
ried bands OF the old allies Of Great
Britain in quelling the outburst, eager
To bring him back, dead or alive. He
has been captured q dozen times, ac-
cording to rumor, but the prisoners
have proved To be either other mutt
neers or perfectly innocent persons.
This time, however, there seems TO
be no doubt about the matter. Arrest.
cd in Gwalior, his native place, and OF
which he claimed the sovereignty, he
has been recognized by his cousin, the
Maharaiah Scindiah, perhaps the most
powerful and certainly the wealthiest
Of all the native monarchs Of Hindo.
stan.
It was from brooding over the al.
legged injustice Of the East India Com
pany that Napa Sahib, or rather Mana
Rao, his proper name, lashed himself
to the pitch Of ruthless fury which cul.
minated In his dreadful massacres at
Bithoor and Cawnpore. He was NAH
rata Brahmin, and, according to the
peculiar Hindoo law Of inheritance, the
adopted son OF the Peishwa excluded
nearer relations. When the Peishwa
died the British Government refused
10 recognize Mana Rao, and placed
Scindiah on the musnud. The disap.
pointed prince, o cultured man, brayed
the displeasure Of his friends, the very
tenets Of his religion, crossed the for.
bidden Raia Pant, or Black Water, !"
and for years peryaded the precincts OF
the English Court. He was tinBuccesa.
iul. He returned TO India, and 10
purge himself Of his sins against the
ceremonial law, passed through q gi-
gantic golden COW, which was after
ward melted up and divided among
5000 Brahmins. he became quite 0
society man with The Engliah officers,
and was remarkably gallant 10 tho
ladies'. Arab horses and cashmere
shawls were frequent tributes from this
affable Hindoo. Milder than
bis pfoyerbiRlly mild race, his ferocity,
when IL did break out, was as that of
the tiger Of his country's jungles. He
brought mourning TO whole nation,
with whom the world sympathized,
