A Remarkable Charge.

-Four months ago, Mr.. Schurz regarded
President Grant as the worst enemy of the
country. and President Grants administra-
ton, supported by the Republicans in con-
gress and Republican leaders out of con-
gress, as a grave affection and menace to
the republic. He was so concerned about
the matter that he made an appeal to the
people against the whole spirit and policy of
the Grant administrator an appeal in which
he avowed his determination to support
even Democrat rather than Republican
who had supported or acquiesced init. AL
this is changed, now; MIR. Schurz regards
Gov. iTilden as the worst enemy of the
country, and a Democratic triumph in
November as the gravest affection that
could befall the republic. What is the ex-
PLANTATION ofthis remarkable change? Gov.
Iilden is no worse man than he was in
May last, when Mr.. Schurz foreshadowed
his contingent purpose to vote for him
while the Grant administration is certainly
no better. Mr.. Schurz saw no danger
from a Democratic restoration four months
ago-or, if he did, he did not say anthing
about it in the address in which ne
sketched the evils. that threatened the coun-
try's veal. He saw nothing Objectionable
in Gov. Tilden. He did not include Gov.
Tilden in the category of candidates whom
he avowed he would not support; on the
contrary he clearly pointed to him in his
sketch of the candidate whom he told us
the country demanded" and he 10Ould
support. Why is it, then, that Tilden has
so suddenly superseded Grant 10 Mr..
Schurz' estimation, as the evil person to
De guarded against by all the agenies at
our command? Why is it that the warning
prophet now contents himself with few
words of criticism on Grant, and reserves
the bulk of his speeches TO misrepresen-
tations of Tilden? Is Mr.. Schurz man
who knows himself from May to Septem-
ber?-.S Louis Republican.
Schurz has been ordered by Zach Chand
Ter to stop critising Grant or he will not be
employed by the Republicans any more,
and it is remarkable fact that in his next
speech at Crown Point, Indiana. after Old
Zach issued the order, he made no alluson
whatever to Grant or his administration.
! That speech was the poorest effort he has
made in this canvass; it was so tame and
spiritleSs that the Chicago TriJ1me did not
report it at length, contentng itself with a
meagre sketch Of it. Can it be possible
that the German orator, in engaging his
services to Secretary Chambers commit
tee, has given TO that committee the right
to say what he shall and what he shall not
speak about?

Sudden Death of bishop Cummins

The Right Rev George David Cummins, d.
D., presiding Bishop Of the Reformed Episco-
pal Church, died suddenly at his residence,
Lutberyille, Baltimore county. at Tsp. VI.
Monday. He had dined, and soon afterwards
complained Of feeling badly; o phys ioian was
summoned and in very short while the patient
grew rapidly worse, aud said he believed he
was goiGg TO die. The symptoms soon be-
came alarming, and he suddenly aud quietly
expired, having retained his consciousness up
to the last. He was asked if he had anything
he desired to say. and his reply was Tell the
people Of my church 10 80 forward" This
was his last utteraace.
Bishop Cummns was born at Smyrna, Del,
December II. 1922 After graduating with
honor at Dickinson College, he became a
preacher in the Methodist Church In 1915
he joiued the Episcopal Church, aud was or
dained by Bishop Lee, Of Del. In 1917 he
became prcSbyter Between l8I7 and 1866
he had charge cousecutigely of Christ Church,
Norfolk; st. James, Church, Richmond ;
Trinity Church, Washington; st. Peters
Church, Of this city, aud Trinity Church,
Chicago. In 1868 he was elected assistant
bishop Of Kentucky. November 10, 1878, he
addressed a letter to Bishop Smith announcing
his intention Of withdrawal from the Episco-
pal Church. On December ,, 1878, in re-
spouse TO a call issued by him there was a
meeting held in New York which constituted
the first council of the Reformed Episcopal
Church. In less then three years the church
which he founded had extended into nearly
every State, and in this city alone comprises

charge of old st. Peters, 10 this city, he found
the church languishing, its pews vacated, its
congregation scattered, It's spirit broken, and
in one year or less il rose to condition Of
prosperity and strength almost beyond piece

movement 10 the Protestant Episcopal Church
is well known.
The bishop bad not been IN good health tor
several days past, having taken a severe cold
on the bowels, though his demise was not an
