chance to mako gasping demonstration Of
the doctrine Of party Independence, and he
took occasion on Saturday to defent tho
wholo concern from the charge of sorvilo md
groveling partyism, which has been tho chief
characteristic Of tho Chicago TINES ever since

ing ont some Of tho evidences Of tho TINES

that journal wildly calls tor.
1. The Times, along with several other
Democratic organs, was energetic in It's op-
position to TnpES boforo ho wns nominated
by the Bourbon and Confederate Democracy
at st. Louis. It denounced him rs Robel
sympathizor, botrayor of private trusts, q
xailroad wrecker, IN associate of TwEEp's,

his overwhelming defeat if nominated. What

more direct evidence than this that It is
actuatea oy the same blind and pitiable de-
votlon TO party which prompted 1t to stand

NEn himself lind moro striking instance
than this to illustrate tho abjoct control ex-

4 STEP FORWARD.

True Christian charity was finely illustrated
in measure adopted at the recent meeting OF
the Congregational Conference of Connecticut.
A resolution invited the other evangelical de-
nominations of the State to unite with the
Congregaticnalsts in settling such principles OF
comfy as would remove all occasions of an
noyance in their interdenominatOnal relations.
To make this invitation practical committee
of correspondence was appointed. 1t VIII,
therefore, soon be ascertained how far this
proffer of good will is likely TO be accepted.
The occasions for the practice of denomlna-
tional comfy are Very obvious even to the
secular mind Not to speak of the lesser evils
which have flowed from active sectarian COM
petition, the multiplication of churches in our
villages and small towns has been often car
ried to such excess as to peril the adequate
support of Christian institutions. Ministers
serving numerically weak congregations exc
out a precaffous subsistence in such ways as
they can. The churches crowd SO upon each
other that their attitude tends to become one
of watchful observation of each others move
ments sincere unity is made difficult, If not I'M
possible. 1t is natural that each great de-
nomination should be ambitious 20 be repre-
scented in every growing and prosperous town.
1t is however, worthy of inquiry whether the
minute division and subdivision OF the pOpula-
ton of small towns with very feeble religious
organizations is compatible with the highest
efficiency of Christianity, and whether the
best interests of the various denominations
would not be promoted by the adoption of
some principle of comfy in the selection of
points of labor.
This is, perhaps one of the objects contem-
plated i'm the invitation Of the Connecticut
Congregationalists to the other denominations
of the State If not, it may be well worthy of
consideration. In the West, proposals looking
To such consolidation of weak churches of diff
ferent denominatiOnal ailnities have been put
forth of late years, but with what practical
result there are no means of knowing. There
could be no better time for trying this expert
ment of real fraternity than in these years of
enforced economy through which the country
is passing Clergymen are no doubt feeling
kccnly the inconvenience Of diminished in
comes, and their incomes are seldom super
abundant. Combination and consolidation
might produce present Inconvenience, but
would lead Oh to better system. However
the resolution of the Connecticut ministers may
be applied, its spirit will commend it to all
men. For even the worldly can understand
that if Christian bodies resolve to avoid all
occasions of annoyance III their relations with
each other, and to cultivate unity, they
thereby greatly increase their power.

State authorities, first by the action OF
the constitutional board OF canyassers; ;
second by the Secretary of State, VINO
gave certificates; third, by the Clerk OF
the former House, whose duty 1t was 10 pre-
pare a list of members and to see that only
those who had proper credentials participated
in the organization; and finally by the State
Executive, who directed that the list prepared
by that Clerk, in accordance with the certlii-
cafes issued, should govern admissions 10 the
chamber. VIII any just man pretend that IL
was the duty of the President or of any army
officer TO reverse the decision of these officers
But it il of the utmost Importance that tne
line of Federal interference should be rgldly
drawn. We have nothing to do with the IN
ternal concerns of South Carolina. Our troops
are there only to protect the constituted au-
thorities and prevent domestic violence. III
Wade Hampton and the Edgefield members
legally become the constituted authorities, 1t
is our business to protect them. But 1t Is 1rSt
the business of South Carolina, under her
own laws and through her own estaD-
lished forms, to decide who her authorities
are. And we may as well 90 one step further.
The North believes that government rests on
the consent of the governed. If, even under
the forms of law, State government Is set
up which the people Will not sustain, and
which cannot stand alone, the North will not
be willing long to prop 1t mp with bayonets.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-11-30

Carolina had been carried overwhelmingly Dy
Tilden, and that nothing but gross frauds
could prevent him from getting the vote, IL
WAS not hard to see what they were after.
When simultaneously stories are now set afioat
from Washington, from Cincinnati, and else
where, that prominent personal friends OF
Gov. Hayes are convinced, in advance OF tne
evidence, that he has not been legally elected,
and are advising him to take the work OF the
Canvassing Boards and the Presidential electors
out of their hands, we begin to suspect that
the pen which wrote the multitudinous edi-
torials from Liberty-st. is at work again.
A circumstantial story was yesterday printed
from Cincinnati to the effect that Judge
Stanley Matthews, the brother-in-laW OF UoV'
HAYES had been advised from New-Orleans
by Senator Sherman that Hayes was clearly
defeated that the proceedings OF bis sup
porters were an outrage, and that ne should
instantly withdraw. Here was story that 1t
was possible to put ones hand on SO we
telegraphed to Judge Matthews to ascertain
the facts. This is his reply:
Ihave received from Senator sherman no such tcle'
gram AS you mention respecting Louisiana affairs nor
indeed any from him of any description
STANLEY MATTHEWS.
Yesterday the story was set afioat from
Washington that Gov. Dennison, who gave
Gov. Hayes his first commission in the war,
and as'always been his personal friend, was
urging his withdrawal. Gov. Dennison dis
poses of this in note which we find in 1he
Erening Post, and which has also been sent
us by our correspondent in Washington:
may have said that in my opinion Gov Hayes would
not accept the office Of President unless fairly elected
but have never purposed advise him on the subject
have elegraphed him that my opinion he Is undouDt
eddy the next President OF the United states ana
Ibeeye now that fraud alone deprive him OF 49,
electoral votes.
Now let us see where the ready writer oil
Liberty-st. will next break out!
