TIE telegraph announces the death
at London yesterday of Mayne Reid,
one OF the most sdventuresome of the
novelists Of the century. He was born
in Ireland in 1918, his father being a
Presbyterian minister who intended his
son for the church. Being fond of ad-
venture, however, he emigrated to this
country in 1898, and travelled as trader
aud hunter in nearly every State Of the
Ulion. He engaged in journalism for
few years, and participated in the Mexi-
can war, leading the forlorn hope at
Chapultepec where he was severely
WOUNDED. He also volunteered to help
the HuDgsrians in AS. He was the
al hor OF several novels OF merit, but
will chiefly be remembered by the works
which be wrote for boys.

The New York Herald, Of Monday,
publishes a six-column biography Of
Cardinal MClosky, tracing his life
through three Of it, ep0chs--as student
Of Emmettsburg, Maryland; Us priest
In New York; as bishop in Albany.
His record as archbishop is well known.
All the testimony, says the Herald, con-
ours in showing that the life Of the car
dinal has been one Of piety, virtue and
learning; that he has been always a
good citizen as well as a good Catholic,
and that he has given his best efforts 10
educate and enlighten the people. The
lesson Of such life can not be lost upon
the young men Of this generation.
Whatever we may think OF the religious
opinions OF the cardinal, every AmeTi
can must feel glad that the pope, in
awarding the diguities Of the holy see,
has honore1 one who has always been
an American in every sense, and who
has never brought dishonor upon the
American name.

REFERRING to the APPEAL, the
Knoxville Ctronic,e, Of Tuesdsy, has
this to say:
j. does not say that it [1Orbett issue
was not issued in aid OF the rebellion
1t does not claim that these Issues do
not CONS under the head of debts, the
payment OF which is prohibited by the
fourteenth amendment to the constitu-
tion 1t only says they, "Of right, ought
to and will be paid.n We believe the
APPEAL knows whereof il speaks, and
that the Taxpayers of Tennessee will,
by hard licks and close economy, have
TO make up the mODey to enrich the
half dozen or dozen rich spectators who
hold this money. II looks hard, but it
Is coming. An appeal to the suprere
court OF the United States is all that viii
ssVe them. Is there q Democratic pa
per in East Tennessee that will sve the
courage to speak out with the APPEAL,
and say that these Issues ought TO be-
paid?
The APPEAL said the ToTbett issue
will aud ought Of right 10 be paid, be-
cause the supreme court, composed of
honest men and able lawyers, has said
so, aud because We believe that very
much Of it il, OF was when the decision
was rendered, held 10y poor people to
whom it was paid cut for other than
war purposes by the parent bank and
vouchers. Any way, the supreme court
mas decided that the State must pay it
We submit cheeriuily to that authority.

Full particulars OF the brutal outrage
committed by respectable ladies" OF
Wilton, Iowa, brief sketch of which
was given by telegraph, show that the
sffair was more despicabls than the cor
respondents made out. The victim was
h girl of only seventeen years Of age,
hsd lost her mother early in life. aud
had been brought up by two step moth
ers. Rather handsome and Intelligent,
she had gone, SO the local papers say,
pretty far in the direction of the bad,
had summarily elected her step-mother
from the house, and there received
visits from hall a dOzsn of the young
gentlemen Of the town. The
house was in respecta bic
neighborhOOd, and it seems that
thGss proceedings reused the in
dign6tiOn Of the aforesaid "l8dies"
OF the town. Without appealing to the
law for redress for any damages the poor
unfortunate girl had inflicted on them,
they formed themselves into mob, COM
pared with which band of bscchanals
would have been eminently respectable,
and, armed with bucket of tar and a
pillow of feathers, surrounded the house.
The Davenport Gazette describes what
follows: "They tried the doors, and all
were locked. In the yard were several
large iron bolts, such as are used in
fastening timbers Of bridges The ladies
seized the bolts, and with them smashed
the windows of the lighted room, sash
and all. The crash aroused the whole
neighborhOod. and soon there was ex-
citement enough in the whole vicinity,
which was not lessened at all by the
shrieks of the girl within, IS the now
impetuOus assailants hurled the bars at
other windows. Strange to say, no
crowds Of men rushed to the besieged
mansion. Bent on vengeance, and de-
termined not to allow the ohje t of their
hatred to escape by flight, the five
leaders never thought of breaking open
the doors, but three women climbed
through the windows and came upon
the party within like aveDging furies."
There were four young men and the
girl within the room. The cowsrdly
fellows ran of and left the child to the
tender mercies of this mob, who, with
out more ado, emptied the tar over her
ant proceeded to feather her as usual.
The unfortunate creature was turned out
of the house, and but for the compass
sion of ode young man who was not
afraid Of facing public sentiment, and
who gave up his room to her, wou d
have been left to sleep on the street.
Can anything more shameful be told?
AS usual, we are told "public opinion is
divided on the subjectn This affair only
adds another illustration to the many OF
the adsge: "a mob Of women is a mob
of demons"

Conservation OF nIshOp.Eleot Jagsar

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2S The
Church Of the Holy Trinity was crowd
ed to-day on the occasion of the cOnse-
Grafton of Rev. Thos. A. Jaggsr, L. D.,
bishop of the diocese of Southern Ohio.
In the chancel there was a grand array
of church dignitaries, including eight
bishops, besides large number of cler-
gymen from Ohio and other diOcess 9,
The music was furnished by large cho-
rus, under the direction OF the Organist
of the church. AT eleven o'clock long
procession Of priests entered the church,
followed by the bishop elect, with his
attending chaplains, Rev. DR.. ]. II. Eg-
glestOn and Rev. Thomas A. Vacuum
After these came the bishops Of Della
ware. New York, Pennsylvania, Long
Island, New Hampshire, Nebraska, An
tiqua, and the venerable bishop of Ken
lucky. The presiding bishop having en-
tered the church, the ranks we're open
ed, and the bishops marched to their
places within the chRncel, the clergy
following to their assigned places. After
the usual morning services, and Bishop
LIttieiOhn's sermon SDd address to the
bishop elect, DR.. JaggaF, vested in q
cassOck and rOchet, was presented, by
Bishop Potter, Of New York, and Bishop
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, to the conse-
orator, Right Rev, Bishop Smith, OF Kon-
lucky. The testimonials of DR. Jaggar's
election, and other papers, were present.
ed by Rev. Richard Gray president Of the
standing committee of the diocese of
Southern Ohio. The testimonials being
satisfactory, the Episcopal oath was ad-
ministeTed and taken by DR.. Jsggar.
His public examination as to his call,
doctrine and duties followed, and he was
vested in the rest Of his Episcopal habit.
With the usual services after cOmmun-
ion, the congregation was dismissed
The offering, which was very large, will
be devoted to the WOmen's auxiliary
board of missions in Pennsylvania.

THE opinion Of Mr.. Henry Crsft-one
OF the most accomplished and sblest
members Of our bar-upOn the new
charter was published officially in the
Avalanche yesterday. Upon the ques-
tion of the election Of police and fire
commissioners he agrees with Judge
Brown. His words are:
A proper legal construction Of the
whole act Is the reasonable one; that
certain changes were intended to be ef-
fected without transcending our peculiar
constitutional provisions as TO corpora
tioDs. In order to do this general law
was reDrted to, in which the old ma
chinery, forms, and powers are substan-
TALLY retained until the general council
shall see fit to change them. Even Sec
tiODs 65 and 81 are not SO Immediately
and vigorously in force as to prevent the
city government from doing, in its own
way, until q new way can be established,
Whist 10 absolutely necessary to its legiti-
mate functions. 1t was contemplated, l
think, and is within the spirit and letter
OF the act, that the work of Ieorganizs-
ton shall be cOnsummated as a whole,
so that, in the language OF the question,
whole machinery of city government
move off together" While this is being
done, without undue haste or unneces-
sary delay, think the act does not cre-
ate any chasm or interregnum, does not
work either jar OF disruption. Old
thiDgs will pass away as, and only
when, those entrusted with that duty
shtll, in good faith and diligence, sub
sJitu,e the new.
Mr.. B. NJ. Estes, of equal standing as
lawyer aud citizen with Messrs. Craft
and Brown, holds on the contrary that
1t is the duty of the general council to
elect the commissioners at once, and
that these commissioners will have the
control of the police and fire depart
ments, under the ordinances adopted
by the general council. They will have
power to discharge the officers of said
departments at pleasure. This system
Of police and fire departments is created
by the new law, aud necessarily super-
cedes the system which was created by
the ordinances, for they are repugnaut
and deficient. / think it probable that
the legislature intended to separate the
election of these and other officers TO be
elected by the general council from the
election by the people, in order to with
draw from them the influences, cOmbi-
nations and other evils usually attend
ing the elections by the council immedi-
ately after the election by the people.
