BERLIN, April 16.-Ihe bill abIogaling
those clauses of the constitution which
grant the independent administration OF
cclesisstical affairs, the Unimpeded
G Durse of religious associations with their
superiors, and freadOm OF clerical ap-
pointments passed the lower house Of
the PTussian diet. In the course Of debate
Bismarck said the government was
10th to proceed to such measures, bot
they were unavoidable. Since the vat
ican council no one possessed the infiu-
ence the pope had, with a compact par
ty, well organized press, and al army
of Obedient priests. Tnis power would
be serious even if it belonged to a native
instead OF a foreign monarch. That
monarch, if he had the means,
would carry out his programme in
Prussia, but he would have first to de-
stroy the msjority Of the Prussian peo-
pie. The prince closed his speech with
these words: "When all the breaches
in the bulwarks of the States, caused
by granting too many rights to un-
worthy objects, are repaired, then will
We he able to conclude peace"

in view will be assured beyond doubt or
ouestion. The men who laid down their
lives and sleep on distant fields no less
thpu those who rest within sight OF the

ored in the observance OF this beautiful
custom, hallowed now by the associa-
rions and memories Of decade Of years.
We cannot, icing true to our

surrender or suspend these services,
which, while they serve TO keep their
memories bright as the beautiful flowers
with which we strew their graves, can
not shame the fealty we presently owe

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer declares thst after rambling
through Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia,
Alabama and Florida, and talking with
State officers and politicians, / found
public sentiment about equally divided
on the Democratic side OF the house be-
tween Thurman and Hendricks for the
Presidency. Thurman is q. favorite in
Mississippi, and the Alabama Democra-
cy, headed by Governor Houston, are
in favor Of Governor Hendricks. The

the west. God deliver us from an east

IN ANOTHER column we publish the
protest Of the grand jury OF Washington
county, Mississippi, against its summa-
" dismissal by Judge Shackleford, in
which it will be seen that the assignsble
cause OF SO high-hsnded an outrage on
the rights Of the people was that Wade
Hampton, one Of the members selected,
as is customary, by the board OF super
visors Of the county, had not been sum-
moned, when the contrary is declared
to be the case by ten Of the jury in the
statement for which We make room. A
private note accompanying the circular
SAYS that the true cause of the course Of
the Judge is ga fear that the jury would
- handle the sheriff, who can be con-
.sylcted Of stealing public funds to the
"extsnt Of thousands upon thousands,
nsnd others 0. the Radical carpeibsg
s.elass who could have been shown up IN

negro named Tazewell Jones, promi-
nent politician. Cause, Beecherism.
The NicksbuTg miss Herald Of a re-

fined by the mayor, attempted to stab
the town marshal, but the officer fired
at the would be murderer, who immedi-
lately fed. A negro named Joe Banks
ton ran cut and attempted to stop him.
Kidd, still holding in his hand the open
knife, made lunge at the negro Banks
ton, cutting him through the stomach,

almost instantly. Kidd continued his
flight, and when, little further on, an

which he still retained in his pcsst ssion,
and tried to add another victim to his
/ list by firing at Mr. Fred. K. Holbroek,
