Fisher, who was chief of the Office during
the period when it was disgrace to
the whole nation, could not escape the
responsibility for the actions Of his
subordinates. Whether hewas only foolish
inefficient, and weak, or was answerable
in some more direct way for the
doings of his son Charles and his other
assistant, Harrington, we need not inquire.
lncompetency in prosecuting officer is q
bad enough offense even when the best in
tentions wait upon it. At any rate, public
opinion would not tolerate Fishers appear
ance in the safe conspiracy trial, and after
some miserable revelations of the miscon-
duct in his office the president was obliged
to call for his resignation.
And now Gen. Grant dominates this
same George p. Fisher United States dis
trio attorney for Delaware. The president
has never concealed his sympathy with
the members of the district ring, and has
indeed made most indecent displays OF
it on memorable public occasions; but
party certainly cannot allow Gen. Grant
the qualification he demands. The senate
must reject the nomination without an
hours unnecessary delay. No sympathy
which senators may feel for the persona
misfortunes Of the nominee, no convection
which some Of them may entertain that he
is only the victim of his own weakness
should deter them from a duty which
they owe both to the country and the par
ty. If Gen. Grant will not think of Re
publican interests, we hope Republican
senators will.

Gen. Grants capacity for mischief seems
boundless. His party is just entering up
on campaign in which the utmost
circumspection will be needed to make
the public forget or forgive the errors of
the past few years, and the president
chooses this critical time for sending to
the senate one of the worst nominations
he has made since be named Boss Shepherd
for commissioner of the district. The
district attorneys office in Washington
was for long while, under Judge Fisher,
the chief bulwark of the district ring.
There were Matched the conspiracies 10
convict innocent citizens of ielonly, the
plots to get rid of witnesses, the schemes
to take burglars out of Jail. Crimes of
the most dastardly character were COM
mitted under the shelteriug caves of that
scandalous establishment. Theft, and
riot, and bribery, and perjury received
there encouragement and protection. Two

max Of the fallacy which pervades all Of
"H's" argument. ar8 9.Fl h.e.4
There is no proposition clearer than
that the Savior was a strict observer Of
the Jewish Sabbath, both in letter and
spirit so far as the former was in con.
sonance with the latter. BE never con.
Yersed with his Disciples at any time
about change in the Sabbatical institu.
ton. The Disciples therefore had no
reason 10 suspect or believe when He told
them to pray that their flight should not
DO in winter nor on the Sabbath day, that
He alluded to any other than the day
which the Savior himself and his Discip-
les in common with all the Jews, had kept
holy in accordance with the national GUS
tom from time immemorial. Yet the
conversation recorded In the Gath chap
ter Of Matthew is the nearest approach TO
an authoritative command to observe the
lst day OF the week as aSabbath, that Mr..
H, as we understand him, has been able
to find within the lids Of the New Tesla
ment. Or a .r...
We have very little to say upon the
Sabbath question. 1t is recorded in the
End chap ter Of Genesis that "God blessed
the 9TH day; and sanctified II; because that
in it hO had rested from all his work
which God created and made" This is
simply part Of the Old Testament rec.
ord, statement OF fact with tho reasons
therefor. No command is coupled with
it making its Observance obligatory upon
Adam or any OF his descendants. So far
as our knowledge extends, there is no pos
tive evidence that the Patriarchs observ-
ed any Sabbath, that they did so is probab-
ly inferential. In the language Of The law,
the Sabbathhad no provable status until il
was incorporated into the Jewish Code by
way Of the 9TH Commandment. Then and
there too, were assigned the same reasons
for It's enactment into positive law as
were given in the second chapter Of Cen
esis for the rest which God Himself took
upon the seventh day. Nothing caunlter
the ground work upon which the Jewish
Sabbath was founded, the great fact that
God Himself rested upon that day from
all the work which He had made. The
reason given for the conservation OF the
seventh day is as immutable. as the rea.
sons upon which are based the marriage
relation or the requirement OF "blood for
blood.' So far, III" has not shown that
any good reason exists for the abroga-
ton Of the seventh day as Sabbath any
more than might apply TO the institution
Of marriage or the punishment OF the
crime OF murder. The seventh day rest,
like marriage and the blood law, which
antccede all other laws, is perpetual.

Sadness"
The lecturer considered that the crown.
ing and distinguishing feature Of modern
Intellectual progress, as contrasted with
that OF the centuries Immediately pre-.
cedinS us, consisted largely in the al
most universal concession that had been
made in regard TO the pursuit and devel-
opment OF truth, especially religious
truth. Enlightened men now concede
that religious truth "does not belong to
any select and favored class. Men are
urged to think for themselves on this
greatest of all themes. They arc melted
to seek for truth by the use Of their own
minds, just rs they look through their
own eyes. The ipsc dirt Of no pulpit, the
or eathedra deliyerance Of no Vatican
Council, are taken without honest and
searching examination. Without the aid
Of priest, men dare to face the great and
solemn problems Of existence, and rev.
erently inquire what human life means
and whittier ittends."
AS to the great question whether the
world is really growing better as it
grows older, the speaker believed with
Gibbon, the historian, that every age was
an improvement on its predecessor. That
great writer, in the closing sentence Of
his observations on the fall Of the Roman
Empire in the West, had said, 1--WE may
therefore acquiesce in the pleasing con
clusion that every age Of the world has
increased and still increases the real
wealth, the happiness, the knowledge, and,
perhaps, the virtue Of the human race"
