RFTTPy or THE MISSING VITNESS.

RETURN or THE MISSING WITNESS.
Sauntered leisurely into town on Thursday
with the air of gentleman whose resources
place him beyond the reach of disturbing cares
and the manner of man who is entirely
unconscious of being looked for-the Missing
Witness, tho Hon. VIM. S. King, member Of
Congress from Minnesota, and late Postmaster
of the House of Representatives,, Washington,
d. C.. Dropped down quite incidentally fcom
Canada, where he has been engaged for II
month or two buying stock for his celebrated
stock farm in Minnesota. There have been
rumors concerning King. He has been for
several weeks in a very large and pcEvasivc
way in the public mouth Except that he was
in Canada buying stock and watching the
thermometer he would have been also very
largely in the public eye. But he shrank from
it. Shrank from the public gaze as few states
men ever did before him. lie resisted the
earnest solicitations of Deputy Sergeantat-
Arms to appear before the Committee of Ways
and Means; and to the urgent invitation of
the Minnesota Legislature begging him to ap-
pear and explain, or do something, or resign
he sent only his undying regrets, accompanied
by the philosOphic remark that if they would
attend to their business he would take care of
his, or words to that effect. 1t was the remark
of the Minnesota Legislature upon the receipt
of the letter-not embodied in a resolution or
recorded in the journal of either House, but
communicated by the members to each other
in private onversatlons-that "Bill King is
"cool cuss." The truth Of the observation
was conceded yesterday by the general public
when the adjournment of the XLllld Con-
press and the arrival of tho Hon. VIM. 5.
King were announced simultaneously.
1t was coincidence that. some fifteen or
twenty minutes before it began to appear to
the Committee of Ways and Means that Mr..
King might possibly have information some
where inside of him on the subject of Pacific
Mail disbursements, Mr.. King himself should
be startled by the intelligence that there was
n very uncommon bull for sale in the interior
of Canada, Mr. King is very curious about
bulls. He owns several thousand dollars
worth of them at his farm in Minnesota. The
way he started for this Canada bull might
have conveyed to tho casual observer the
erroneous impression that he was getting
away from the Committee. Not so. He was
going after the bull. He said nothing about
where no was going, Of course. Why should
hei His whole mind was on tho bull. And 90

Clergyman principally because he does not
wish to be lawyer or physician or a school
teacher, may get through his life. by the sheer
force of prudence. without breaking down
but he runs heavy risk of the most frightful
f,ilure which can Overtake mortal. We are
not astonshed that there are so many clerical
mishaps of a kind which we need not particu-
larry describe; it would astonish US if they
were fewer At the same time, considering
the weakness of human nature and the peculiar
perils of the priesty Office, we desire to record
our deliberate opinion that the general moral
character of the clergy as class Is not only
higher than that of any other class but that it
affords an example of exemplary living which
society could not spare at all.

THANKS no PRESIDENT GRANT

The country owes thanks to President Grant
for his very sensible and honest course with
regard to the Bounty bill. Among all the dis
reputable schemes invented by demagOgues
during the past two years to deplete the
Treasury and make party capital for use upon
the stump, this was the lowest and worst. 1t
was the invention of Mr. John A. Logan. 1t
was neither called for nor expected. 1t had
no cause for being; not the most shadowy
pretcxt for existence. 1t would have accom-
plished nothing of its ostensible purpose !;
was neither an act of justice nor charity /;
was nothing, indeed, but wild and senseless
fnging out of from twenty to three hundred
million dollars for a scramble of claim agents
and bounty brokers. And yet Mr. Logan sue
ceeded in getting it passed by both House
and Senate, and fairly bullied Vice President
WILSON into signing it as passed, when he
knew and everybody knew that instead of
having been passed it lay on the Senate table
under the report of a Committee of Conference
The progress of the bill from first to last
illustrated the perfection of demagogism.
timidity, and insincerity ON the part of the
politicians of both parties. And it illustrated
New-York tribune., 1875-03-06

-
popular sentiment. When Mr.. Logan flung it
into the legislative hopper, it was not because
there was any distress to bo relieved, any IN
Justice to be remodied. or any generosity de-
mandcd on tho part of those for whose
benefit it seemed to be devised. In
nav and bounties and pensions already
nrovided for. the soldiers Of the late war have
been literally rewarded. The whole people
know it: the world has wondered at and ad-
mired the generous treatment they have re-
ceiyed, and the soldiers themselves, with the
exception perhaps of here and there a lazy
hummer. have been amply satisfied. But Mr.
Logan looked upon them as q class OF men
having votes and class, too, that was wearying
of the continuance Of the party in power.
This was to be q sop to them; in plain En-
clisb and at hardpan, a bribe. 1t had no other
meaning; was open to no other construction.
A few Republicans like Gen. Hawley OF Con-
necticut, who was himself q soldier from
Sumter to AppomattOx. and could speak
for soldiers accordingly, were honest enough
and brave enough to denounce the measure
as it deserved, and with them were some
Democrats. But tho mass of both parties
rushed helter skelter into the support OF the
demagogue's trick. The Republicans wanted
to coDciliate the soldiers and the Democrats
feared to give them 0flense, and so furnish
capital against themselves. So in they went
all of them in hurry burly to buy votes at
an expense Of millions.
The wickedness of it was only equaled by
its weakness. The demagogucs misjudged the
effect of it. The passage or defeat oil 1t wouid
| not have changed thousand votes in the
country, except perhaps as it might have deep
ened the disgust of the people for party so
reckless as to resort to such measures, and so
hurt instead of helping Mr.. Logan and
his party. But hero was tho amazing
spectacle-if anything done by Doliti-
clans could bo amazing-of Congress
representing people whose business interests
are PROSTATE, legslating for country over
| whelmed in debt, whose notes are protested
and its currency irrcdeemable; after a session
| devoted largely to devsing measures to bring
the nations expenditures within its iDcome,
deliberately voting away from twenty to three
hundred millions of money to class OF
persons who had not asked for and did
not expect it, and in the end would not
get it, And the Vice-President allowed it to
be carried by his casting vote and himself TO
be bullied into signing it as law when he
knew it lacked the requisite fOrmahties to
make it such. This country has heretofore
presented to the world some singular specta-
cles. but never one so utterly unaccountable
as this.
The country owes President Grant hearty
thanks-and all honest and manly men will
unite in recognition of the obligauon-for
saving not only the Treasury from such
raid but the nation from making such dis
graceful spectacle of itself

A rumor which flew through the city yes
terday to the effect that, because of the seri
Gus illness Of juror. the Beecher trial was
to be abandoned. elected. wherever it was
heard, an expression of public feeling to which
both sides of this controversy will do well
to give the most earnest heed. That
feeling is this That neither side can afford, un-
der any conceivable circumstances, to abandon
this trial short of verdict. If juror should
die, let them go on with eleven. If two or
three should die, let them go'on with those that
remain. No substantial reason can be given
why the verdict of nine men would not be
as likely TO be correct as that of twelve, and
the whole country would accept the action Of
whichever side should object to the continua-
ton of the trial by q diminished jury as
confession of failure or guilt. The county
has been put to an enormous expense, the public
attention has been challenged, the defile-
ment of the story has been forced upon the
whole community, and it Is the cOmmuDity's
right now to insist upon verdict. If either
side should take advantage of the illness of a
juror, or of any technicalitX to seek to aban-
don the trial, the whole country would then
be able TO render a verdict without trial

MIR GLADSTONE'S REPLY.

II is not orr part, at any rate i'll the pres
ent stage of the controversy, to make cilt-
cal examination Of Mr.. Gladstone's answer to
DR.. Newman and Archbishop Manning, from
which we publish liberal extracts this morn
ing. The dispute has called great number
of peus into activity, but the attention OF the
world seems to be concentrated upon these
three protagonists. Equally earnest, equally
devoted to their respective standards, and
equally eminent, though in somewhat different
lines. for natural ability and scholarship, they
have BETRAYED in the course of the conflict
certain curious differences of temperament
which have served to set of the controversy
with the attractions of picturesque contrast. Dr.
Newman came forth from his closet as a ten
der-hearted and blgh-minded student, noting
faults or mistakes on both sides. and hurt too
deeply by the real or supposed imprudences of
his own party to conceal his feelings even
from the. enemy. There are few polemical
ESSAYS in existence which display so much
gentleness, frankness, dignity, and Christian
feeling, and at the same time so much inSenu-
ity and force, as the " Letter to the Duke OF
Norfolk" Archbishop Manning spoke in a
very different stran. He stepped into the
arena robed in episcopal purple, true type OF
the Roman bishop, assured of his own author
ity and delivering his message to the world
with voice in which there was no sugges-
ton Of either uncertainty, or apology, or even
depreciation. DR.. Manning put his pamphlet
on the "Vatcan DEGREES" into the form of
syllogism, stating the premises with the air OF
one laying down the law, and drawing the
conclusions with inexorable strctness and
rapidity. DR.. Newman's little book was win
ming DR.. Manning's was strong.
There is moro heat in Mr.. Gladstone's two
essays than in either of the others He at
tacks with all the energy and persistence of
q champion debater and if we say that he
attacks with passion we mean to throw no
discredit upon his temper and none of course
unon his motives. When he published his
first "ExpostulatioD," the mass of men,
who had known him for so many years
as one of the foremost politicians of the world,
could hardly persuade themselves that this
sudden assault upon the Roman Catholic
Church was not inspired by some political
motive. If any such suspicion still fingers, it
ought now to be removed. No one can read
this new pamphlet on Vaticanism," or the
recent paper on the speeches of the Pope,
without perceiving what q strong impression
the religious aspects of this question have
made upon Mr.. Gladstone's mind. For him
o-day there Is no issue so important as that
between the claims Of the Papacy and the
claims of modern free thought, and no pursuit
that deserves closer study than the contin-
uaton of the great theological controversy
which has split the western world in twain
for three hundred years, and is pretty certain
not to bo closed until the Day of Judgment.

1HE GOLD MARKETS OF TIE WORLD.
The truth of the observations which we made
some three weeks ago in regard to the stock
of gold owned by the Treasury has been fully
confirmed by the last Debt statement: SO far
as bullion is concerned the Treasury is now
very strong having clear balance of fifty
millions in excess of the amount covered by
the gold certificates and no heavy payments
to make until May. If there is to be any
trouble in America about gold this Spring it
will not be in Washington. but in New-York.
The state of the markets for gold in America
England, France, and Germany. is just now
very peculiar, and liable at any moment in
each of the countries named 10 sudden change

New-York tribune., 1875-03-06

1t is not improbable that conflict VIII
arise between the German Government and
that Of Bavaria ON account Of the imperial
policy toward the Vatican. King Ludwig H.,
although he dislikcs the cares of government,
sometimes makes them greater than he would
if he were a prudent ruler or one more
familiar with statecraft. When we remember
how exactng he has been in his demands for
the observance Of somewhat exaggerated forms
of etiquette, we are prepared for his resenting
the requirement of the Imperial Government
to break off relations with the Vatican. If
King Ludwig should assume a position Of
open defiance to the German Government, the
Constitution provides for a system of federal
execution, which will be very effective in re-
ducing him to submission.

The question Of The confirmation of the Rev.
DR.. De Koven as Protestant Episcopal Bishop
of Illinois grows mere interesting as the
formidable strength of the opposition begins
to be developed. Of the nine Standing COM
mittees that have passed judgment within the
last fortnight seven have given votes in the
negative. On the one side are the DiOceses Of
Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, Central New
York, Central Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and
Texas On the other the Dioccses of Albany
and Alabama. But the Standing Committees
of 30 dioceses have yet to vote. The chances
for the confirmation of TIE Rev. Dr. JaSSar
for the Southern Ohio Bishopric are, 80 far,
decidedly more encouraging.
