MIR. GladetOne,s Position.

The London Times, in a recent article dis
cusses the reasons of the x-Premier's pre-
sent stand on the church question, and con-
cludes as follows:
The dislike which Mr.. Gladstone has ex-
pressed for Vaticanism, and the vehemency
with which he has assailed it, are explained
sufficiently by his opinion of it's conse-
quences to religion. If the Roman Church
is to be made the organ Of sacerdotal DOM
inatiOn, it will not fail to discredit itself in
the eyes of the world, and the truth as well
as the falsehood Of its system will certainly
be endangered, and may not impossibily be
involved in a common ruin. Mr.. Glad
stones dream hae been of united Christen-
dom, from which Rome and its adherents are
not to be inc luded, and his real quarrel with
Ultramontanism is that its authorized ac-
ceptance in the Roman Church has some
what more than q tendency to make such
union impossible. There was time once
at which the aspect of affairs was very diff
terent, at which the deep and wide gulf
which has now been drawn between the
forces of the old and new world did not
seem absolutely impossible. But Vati-
canism and Professionalism and modern
thought are simply irreconcilable, and it is
on this account that Mr.. Gladstone has
been, not unnaturally stirred to anger
against the new spirit which has assumed
the direction of the policy Of the Romish
Church.

A Sad Accident.

In Tuesdays issue of the Daily Adc0cate
we mentioned the accidental shooting OF
Atherton Bynum, eldest son of our es-
teemed fellOw'citizen, Major Thomas BY.
mum, which happened Monday evening.
We were unable to give the full particulars
in that issue, for want OF full information,
which we gained Tuesday evening. and is
substantially as follows
1t appears that young Bynum had taken
his shot gun and dogs that evening and
gone into the woods not far from the
residence of his grand mother, Mrs. Amos
Adams. about four miles from this city on
the Baton Rouge and Bayou Sara road, for
the purpose of hunting rabbits. Soon after
he got into the woods his dogs took the trail
of d rabbit aud in seeking a convenient
point to intercept the game young Bynum
came to log and got on it. While stand
ing on the log in wait for the approach of
the game he lowered his gun with the butt of
the stock on the log, and 1t is supposed he
was standing with it in position and
that the muzzle of the gun was pointing
toward his stomach The theory is that
after standing q while in this position
he either was in the act Of changing posi-
the hammer coming in contact with log
exploded the caps firing the gun. The loads
struck his body about the navel literally
tearing that part of his body to pieces and
mangling him in a most horrible manner.
A little negro boy was out hunting with
him, and negro man who was chOppirg
wood near by at the time heard the report
of the gun, and Immediately after heard
the words ooh, Lord" Upon hearing this
he Immediately ran to the spot and found
young Bynum lying wounded and helpless
on the ground; he wanted to pick him up
and carry him so the house, but the little
boy said ''NO, don't move me, I'll die in
few moments" A messenger was at once
dispatched to town for DR.. j. w. Dupree,
but when he arrived death had already re-
lieved the unfortunate victim of his suf.
fering.
A dispatch was also sent to Major
Bynum, who was in New Orleans, but he
did not receive it in time to get home be.
fore the interment of his son, which took
place Tuesday evening in Magnolia Gene
terry.
Young Bynum was very promising lad,
and one of remarkable presence of mind,
as also superior intelligence. This sad
blow to the family circle is deeply felt, and
meets with warm sympathetic response
in the heart Of every friend and acquaint-
ance OF the family in this community and
throughout our parish.
Our most heartfelt sympathy is extended
to our esteemed friend, Major Bynum, and
family in this hour of their sad, sad bereave-
ment-Bdton Rouge Adcocote.

The Wandering Typo.

A Vallejo, California, paper has the fol.
lowing:
That eccentric individual we'll known
among printers by the name Of "The Pill
GRIM has been again in our midst. Three
years last June he visited Vallejo, and after
stopping few days, as long as he ever
stops in any place, he once more started off
on his never. ending tramp, restless as the
Wandering Jew and "hOmeless as the
stirring wind" 1t is impossible to say how
long this man has been travelling, for be is
very reticent and will answer no question re-
lating to his past history. But as we said,
he has been known among disciples Of the
art preservative as "The Pilgrim" He is
man OF apparently over forty years of age,
small in stature aad with complexion
tanned by long exposure to the sun. He has
journeyed more than once all over this coun-
try. Wherever there ia q printing office
"The Pilgrim is known, and is always
given work for a day or two, as long as
he usually cares to stay. After leaving
Vallejo in 1871, he went east as far as
Omaha, there followed down the Mississippi
river to New Orleans, and from there took
circuit through the Gulf States and
Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and Mary
land to the North. Lingering some time in
New Jersey, he started West again, and
after staying a while in the Mississippi
valley, came to California once more, riding
part of the way on the trains and at other
times walking. 1t islone of Pilgrims" Pc
culiarities that he seldom visits more than
one printing Office in town where there<
are several. After he has don6a certain
amount Of work in an Office, he will usually
approach the foreman or proprietor, tell
how much he has accomplished (greatly
overstating it,, and say that he thinks he
should be paid But whatever he is paid
he takes it and departs without grumbling.

offers of double pay will not detain him.
Formerly pilgrim" did all his travelling
afoot, stage coach fare being too high for
him. But since the building Of railroads in
California he rides portion of the time
when he has money. This man's real name
is said to be Haslet Friday evening he
left on the train for Naps, from which place
he will go to Petalums. thence to San
Rafael, and afterward to San Francisco.

An Uncivil Rights Barber.
A rather stout black man, giving the
name of John S. Hunter, appeared at the
police court and asked for a warrant against
Carter T. Stewart, the we'll known colored
barber and hair dresser, at Willard's. for
an alleged violation Of the provisions Of the
civil rights bill. His request was refused,
because barber shops are not included in
the schedule of inns and theatres. He then
appeared before District Attorney Fisher,
and that officer made out the informa-
ton, at the same time informing him
that the case, in his opinion, did not come
under the law, and on this information he
asked warrant, which was a second time
re fused. He charges that on Wednesday

asked that his hair be trimmed, but Stew.

ORLEANS SATURDAY,
University Of Louisiana.

/
The commencement exercises Of the med.
ical department Of this institution took
place yesterday in St. Patrick's Hall, in the
presence of q large number of persons
gathered there to witness the interesting
| ceremonies.
| The following members of the faculty
were present and took part in the proceed
ings: T. G. Richardson, NJ. D., dean;
Samuel M. Bemiss, NJ. D.; Frank Hawthorn,
NJ. D.; Joseph Jones, NJ. D.; Ernest S.
Lewis, M. D.
The exercises were commenced by DR..
Richardson who called the roll of the
graduates.
Hon. Randell Hunt then arose and con.
ferred the degrees, following this duty
with short but very impressive charge to
the graduating students.
The salutatory was delivered by Profess
sor Samuel NJ. Bemiss, NJ. d in a manner
we'll calculated to inspire the young gem
tlemen just about to enter upon the medical
profession with just feeling of its i'm
portance and of the honor to which they
had attained in being commissioned to
practice medicine.
The valedictory was delivered by Albert
B. Miles, NJ. D., member of the graduating
class. 1t evinced much good feeling, and
was well spoken.
Below we give the names of those who
graduated, together with their places of
residence:
Stephen M. Applewhite, Texas; Charles
w. Ball. Louisiana; William r. Barkey,
Texas; Joseph NJ. Benton, Mississippi Rob-
ert A. Bayley, Louisiana; James w. Bos-
tick, Texas; George p. Blandell, Mississippi;
Francis M. Brooks, William H. Carson,
Louisiana; Russell H. Dean, Mississippi;

Thomas E. Powell, Clark Richardson, James
r. Rucker, Texas; William Ryan, Louis
William P. Scott. Mississippi; James M
Sellers, Texas; Willis H. Vittuny, Wiscon-
sin; John NJ. Watkins, Charles X. Wilcox,
Louisiana; N. Walton Williams, Thomas E.
Williams, Mississippi.
Graduates in Pharmacy-H. Paulsen, l..
Duringer, Louisiana.
It will be seen by the list that fourteen
of the graduates hail from Texas, fourteen
from Louisiana, eight from Mississippi, two
from Cuba, one from Tennessee, two from
Arkansas, two from Alabama and one
from Wisconsin.
1t is safe to say that if Louisiana was at
peace the attendance at the m dical de-
partment of the University would be much
larger, for no State presents better advan-
tages for imparting knowledge in this line
of science. The gentlemen composing the
faculty have always been regarded as
among the foremost in the profession, here
and elsewhere, some Of them being re-
nowned for their talent and learning. Be-
sides, the Charity Hospital, one of the best
conducted institutions of the kind in this
or any other country, is acknowledged to
present better field for the student to
learn through practice than is presented
elsewhere.

The Pinchback Case in the Senate.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter Ocean gives the following
account of the closing debate on the resolu-
ton to accord Senator Pinchback his seat
in the Senate:
The closing debate on the Pinchback
case was productive OF pure Democratic
speech from Senator Edmnnds, who, it is
said, has long contemplated opposing his
party on this question, but only made up
his mind at almost the last moment. His
argument was that to admit Pinchback on
his prima facie case would be an absurdity; !;
the entire case had been investigated, and
the facts laid before the Senate. He clximed
that these facts showed that there was
nothing upon which to rest the prima facie
case.
Senator Edmunds was followed by Logan
and Howe, who subjected him to severe
excoriation for his desertion OF the Repub
lican party upon a question Of such vital
importance, and upon which the party was
SO palpably right. Their censure, however,
was mild compared with that which Sena-
tor Morton. of Indiana, visited upon him.
The speech of the Senator from Vermont
was, he said, the best Democratic speech he
had ever heard, but he observed that that
Senator made no mention Of the Outrages
upon Republicans, the frauds and ballot box
stuuuS ny tUo OciuOcTdtS WuiCu udU CDdT-
acteriZed the elections in Louisiana. Mr..
Edmunds attempted to reply BY calling at.
tention to Senator MortOn's Democratic
speeches in 1852, and did succeed in raising
a slight laugh; but the latter responded by
hoping that his services to the Republican
party for twenty three years had atoned
for the errors he had committed previously,
and intimating that his Offense bore no COM
parison to that of a man who made Dem
Ocratic speech in 1875.
"Yes," said Senator Sargent, sOttO voce,
land man who pretends to be Republi.
can"
Mr.. Morton concluded his speech soon
after eleven o'clock, and the Senate was
about to vote on the question Of Pinchbacks
admission, when West arose and said that
he was not willing to submit Pinchback's
claim to the Senate at present, being salts
fed that number Of the new Senators had
not had time to examine this question. He
would move to postpone action on the resO-
luton until the second Monday of Decem-
Der next. This took the Senate by surprise.
and Mr.. Log an said he wanted to stand by
his friends. but he thought it would be bet
ter for Louisiana to have the question set
tied now.
The vote was then called, and the motion
was carried sy vote Of 33 yeas to 20 nays,
the Democrats voting solidly against and
Ino nePupllcans Ior, WIFI Two exceptions,
Hitchcock and Christiancy, who voted with
the Democrats. Two Republicans, Edmunds
and Logan, did not vote. The latter ex-
planned that he withheld his vote, because
he felt that his friends were making very
great mistake.
After this had been disposed OF, Freling-
huysen submitted resolution approving
the course of the President IN regard to
Louisiana, but an objection was made to
present consideration, so it went over.
The Senate then adjourned.
