that of John Evans, wealthy business man of
Savannah Ga, who died at a fashionable hotel on
Broadway. The second was that of a sailor who
was found sick at a boarding house, 81 Market

the scourge. Physicians say there is no cause
for alarm, as the season is too far advanced.

The sudden death of Right Rev. George
David Cummins, ID. d., at his residence at
Lutherville, Baltimore county, Md, on
Monday, was announced on Tuesday. DR..
Cummins had been i'll Il day or two, com
planning of cold, but it was not until Mon
day afternoon that he was thought so sick
as to need medical advice. A physician
was summoned, and his symptoms became
rapidly and alarmingy worse, and at ,. -
p. NJ. he died, retaining consciousness to
the last. When asked if he had anything
to say he replied: "Tell the people of my
Church to go forward Bishop Cummins
was born at Smyrna, Del, Dec. II, 1922
After graduating with honor at Dickinson
College he became preacher in the Metho-

pal Church, and was ordained by Bishop
Lee, of Delaware. In 1917 he became "A
presbyter Between 1917 and 1866 he had
charge consecutively of Christ Church,
Norfolk; St. James Church, Richmond:
Trinity Church, Washington; St. Peters
Church, Baltimore, and Trinity Church,
Chicago. In 1868 he was elected Assistant
Bishop of Kentucky. Nov. 10, 1878, he
addressed letter to Bishop Smith, an
nOuncing his intention of withdrawal from
the Episcopal Church. On Dec. ., 1878, in
response to call issued by him meeting
was held in New York, which constituted
the first council of the Reformed Episcopal
Church. Since then the reform movement
has extended into nearly every State, and
in Baltimore there are three congregations
Bishop Cummins first church connection
in Baltimore was as assistant Pastor of old
Christ Church, Gay and Fayette streets,
Rev. II. V. ID. Johns then 1916 being the
Rector. A Baltimore paper speaks thus of
his career in that city: His ministry was
a wonderful one. Wherever he went such
congregations followed him as overcrowded
the capacity of his churches. While Rec
tor of Trinity Church. Washington, his
congregation was composed of the repre-
sentative talent of the nation, and his pull
pit was the centre of attraction to thous-
ands of people. On taking charge of old
St. Peters, in this city, he found the church
languishing, its pews vacated, its congrega-
ton scattered, its spirit broken, and in one
year or less it rose to a condition of pros
perity and strength almost beyond pre-

"ed the floating Orpheus," said the elo-
quent Chairman of the St. Louis Conven-
ton, the political General Judge McCler-
nand, who, it has been truthfully said, dis
graced himself at Nicksburg during the
war by silly and weak attempt to win a
little individual glory at the cost of many
valuable lives. If the classical gentleman
had told the whole story of the unhappy
lyre-ist, its sequel might not have pleased
his sanguine brethren. There is one hotter
place than st. Louis with the thermometer
at 100 in the shade. Thither the lependery
musician descended in search of the lovely
Eurydice, who bitten by a serpent had pre-
ceeded him to the Plutonian shades. There
he propitiates the cruel gods, and starts
heavenwards only to lose his cherished
spouse by the covetous glance he cast upon
her. Thus, when the St. Louis Convention
obeys the injunction of the classic Judge,

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-07-01

The position taken lit the 81 Louis Con-
vention 10y the Southern delegates WAS not
calculated either to diminish tue distrust
entertained at the North as to their ulti-
mate political designs, nor such as to chal-
lenge admiration and respect throughout
the country generally. Their willingness
to adopt any platform that would prove
popular" and their readiness to throw Il
solid vote for "any" candidate who could
succeed, betrayed a political subserviency
to political leaders of the North and West
that is neither credtabe nor sincere. 1t
was saying practically to the country, Give
us any man as nominee, no matter what
his record. principle, or position, if, by sup
porting him we can regain possession of the
general Government. That their attitude,
politically, was insincere is evident from
their expression of preference for General
Hancock. Why prefer him? Which asser-
ton shall we accept as true? Their former
denunciation of him as the murderer"
of Mrs. Surratt, or their present admira-
tion of his virtues as emitting him to the
highest honor in the gift of the people of
the nation? Isn't it rather anomalous that
these gentlemen, whose opinions we know
to be unchanged as to the righteousness of
secession and the virtue of treason, should
prefer candidate simply because he had
been a successful Union general, in achiev-
ing which success he was instrumental in
their downfall? 1t is all nonsense to sup
pose that they wished thus to reward Gen.
Hancock for his services agaiust them.
When prominent Southern delegate, an
ex- Confederate, stoutly insisted upon the
South accepting no man as candidate,
about whose record for loyaIty there was
any doubt, can any sane man believe that
such desire was based upon magnani
nous recognition of, and admiration for,
loyalty to the United States Government
as Il sentiment or principle admirable in
itself and creditabie to its possessor? Ger
tainly not. Loyalty in the North and West
means confidence and faith in the man WHO
maintained it and proved its genuineneSs
by his individual acts, and these i'll turn
if the characteristics of a Democratic nomi
nee are important factors in securing sue
cess. This is the secret of the preference: :
this the palpabe reason for the unusual
surrender of opinions and Judgment npon
the part of men who generally are ready
enough to assert them. This willingness
to accept any thing, as expressed by a
| Southerner: eve want Democratic vic
''tory next November; we do net care ho'c
g it is got or by whom, so that it will be
got; we will approve any platform, or
"any candidate, that may be pronounced
"plausble and strong by the Democrats
Z" from other parts y may be polite, but it
is not course in keeping with the charac-
! ter generally claimed for themselves of hold
/ ing honest convictions. and maintaining
them with equal honesty. On the contrary
! their present political attitude, viewed with
/ regard to the Presidential contest, is a cheat
and sham.

THERE is good deal of speculation in
