A Profound Mistake.

From the Pittsburgh 1eadet.l
We are sorry that it was city Minis.
ter, and particularly professor Of the
theological seminary, who took upon
himself the duty Of "ridiculing Darwin's
idea Of mans descent from the ape"
at the Presbyterian picnic yesterday.
There we're plenty Of worthy but
uncultured country clergymen TO whom
this duty-if il was considered
duty-mig ht have been left. For
them to show the ignorance Of the
progress that the Darwinian theory Is
making in the scientific world, and for
the sake Of little applause from the
inconsiderate. to .ridicule with Flip.
pant allhsion to the degradation OF de.
scent from such animal Us the ape, the
eminent men who may be mistaken, but
who are patiently. and conscientiously
submitting their theoryto the test OF
vast accumulation OF facts would be e1-
cusable enough, considering the present
state OF rural culture. But for q city
divine, himself an author and eommenta:
Tor ION the Bible, and occupying q. posi-
ton OF influence and authority IN, the
church, TO thus deliberately appeal TO the
preiudiees Of the ignorant and "ridieule"
The doctrine Of evolution, lisa deplora-
bic index OF Western Pennsylvania
enlightenment. It is not thus that
Dr.. McCosh, the Corypheus hot
Princeton and Of the Presbyterian
church, meets Huxley and Darwin and
Tyndall. I He does not "ridicule" them or
grow humorous over the "ape' theory.
He grapples with the facts, meets argu-
ment with argument, and wrestler with
the giants Of science in chivalrous debate.
And Il must be said that no man in Am.
erica has done more 10 oppose the spread
of the DArwinian theory than Just Dr..
McCosh. He may not be able to vanquish
| it-for the facts may be against him. But,
Il he lives, ha will at least make Il win its
way BY hard and honorable sighting, and
Tilt docs conquer hiniit will mot con.
quer the church and the college which he
will have educated up to accept ita truths
and reject its mere hypothesis.
We commend his fine example not only
to DR.. Jacobus, but 10 all leaders Of opin.
| ion in the theological seminaries, lest
when the real shock 4does come they be
overwhelmed with shame at the course
they have taken apd, the people be even
brought 10 tho opinion o., many Of the
older church historians that the estab.
| lishment Of the first Christian theological
seminary at Alexandria marked the first
step in the great apostasy and decline Of
the primitive church.

THE SUPREME COURT.

Nine Hundred Cases Behind, Few Five
Years OId--.-Three Years Required to
Clear or Present -8usiness----A Bill to
Relieve this Annoying Difficulty.
The condition Of business in the United
States Supreme Court, says Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Tribune is such that it has ceased to be
an organ for the administration OF JUS
tice. There are at this time upward of
900 cases on its calendar, extending back
five years. To such an extent is 1t be-
hind in its business, that it has come to
be regarded by persons familiar with
the facts that a case may as well be
aban loned as to try to bring 1T up for
trial in that court. The number of cases
on the calendar is so great that If the
court should sit every day, including
Sundays, and dispose of case every
day, it would require nearly three years
to dispose of the old business, to say
nothing of the current cases during that
time, which would be quite sufficient TO
occupy the time of the court. The ques-
tion as to how the court could be re-
lieved has been one of much interest,
rot only to the judges, but to the law
ONlH VI tllC NOtibN ibNihE bAt'AhNoo w
fore them. A year ago the limit was in
creased to s., 900, so tlat no case involv-
ng smaller sum could be brought be-
fore that court. 1t was then supposed
that such action would relieve the busi-
ness, but instead, the cases have in
creased and the term of the court has
beer heightened. The business i'll all
the United States Courts is also yearly
increasing, except the United States
District Courts, where there is limited
jurisdiction. The nine United States
Circuit Courts are very much over
crowded and behind.
In view of all the facts. and after con
sultation with several of the Judges of
the Supreme Court, Mr.. McCrary, of
Iowa, introduced in the House on Thurs
day bill designed to reform the Judi
ciary of the United States, which seems
to be what is required to settle the diff
ticulties. The bill III question requires
the amount involved to be not less than
$4,000, and provides for an inferior
Court of Appeals in each of the nine Ju-
dicial Circuits, and enforce Circuit
Court powers on the District Courts
permitting the former to 'ransfer TO the
latter after next September any cause on
it's calendar. The Court of Appeals for
each of the nine Circuit Court Districts
is to be composed of the Justice of the
Supreme Court assigned to the Circuit,
the Circuit Judge thereof, and the sew
eral District Judges of the Districts
composing the Circuit. The bill pro-
vides that appeals may be taken to this
Court from the Circuit and District
Courts, and that the decisions upon
questions of fact shall be final and con-
elusive, and also on all questions of law
where the sum involved is less than $10,-
600. The judgment or decision of the
Court, if upon any appeal, shall be re-
mitted to the Court appealed from to be
enforced.

Lieut.. CamerOn's March Across the
African Continent.

Further details are to hand respecting
Lieut.. Camerons expedition. The gal
liant explorer, in traversing the breadth
of the entire continent from Zanzibar to
Angola, met, on the whole, with IA
vorable reception by the natives.
He reached Benguella on the 9TH and
Loanda on the 10th of November, with
fifty-seven East Coast men, all in good
health.
1t was Camerons intention to remain
at Loanda until an opportunity arrived
for sending his men home round by tle
Cape to the East Coast.
1t is understood that the intrepid
traveller has accumulated some very val
liable geographical materials, besides a
large amount of general scientific infor
nation. OF course, the especial interest
attaching to his mission is the great
question of the connection of the Congo
with the great eastern lakes. Itappears
that he followed large river flowing out
of Lake Tanganyika in southwesterly
direction, tracing its whole course till he
came upon new lake, which he named
Livingstone.
From this body of water second
large river runs westward, which the
Lieutenant, having traced it for con-
siderable part of its length, believes to
be the Congo.
1t would seem that he was unable to
continue along the river on account of
meeting with a tribe of hostile natives.
He had to choose between fighting his
way through these unfriendly tribes,
with the risk of loosing all his journals
and papers, or of taking a different di-
rection. The latter alternative seemed
preferable, and, though it prevented the
absolute verification of his important
discovery, he has personally no donbt
that the stream flowing out of Living
stone Lake and the Congo are one and
the same.-LOndOn Times.
