Count not the years that boarding Time has

Not BY the vacant moons that wax and

Old altar flame whose ashes scarce are cold,
Bid the freed captive clsnk his broken

Poet whose heart strings thrill upon thy

But waste no words the loving soul 70 tin
That finds its life in duty, not In praise

The Judgment of the judicial com
mittee in the Ridsdale appeal case was
announced in London, on May 12.
This is the decision which has been
anxiously awaited in che Anglican COM
munion. The court, after weeks of
argument and deliberation, now hold
% that the eucharistic yes ments in.
troduced by the RitualIsts are illegal !;
(2) that though the most natural inter-
probation of the rubrics is that the
minister should stand throughout at
the north end of the altar, yet the as
sumption of the eastward position is
not illegal in the absence of proof that
it amounts to a violation of the direc-
tion to the minister to break the bread
and take the cup into his hands before
the people-that is, so as to be seen by
them or by sufficient number of them
(3) that the use of wafer-bread is ille-
gal, though the charge of having used
it is not sufficiently established against
the present defendant; and a. that the
erection of a crucihx by Mr.. Ridsdale
was illegal, on the ground of the prob
ability of its being used superstitious-
ly, and not of any general objection to
the introduction of sculptured figures.
This decision is complete defeat for
the Ritualists. Will they remain in
the church when the law has been
authoritatively declared, and Lord
Penzance has full power to enforce it:
Mr. Tooth is evidently bent upon going
back to prison, for officiating at an
early communion in his church he wore
the very vestPeHts which the highest
ecclesiastical court had declared to be
illegal. The low churchmen will prob
ably insist upon the ngid enforcement
OF the law, and his arrest may precipi
tate a crisis in the history of the Eng
llsh Church which will ultimately re-
suit in its disestablishment.

THERE are marked indications OF
bitter feeling against Tilden on account
of his very evident interference in the
speakership campaign. There is now
no doubt that the Tuden clique are
using their influence in favor of Ran
dali for Speaker. Rival candidates
have discovered this, and are indig-
nant, annoyed and disconnected by it.
Should Tilden attempt to actively
work for Randall the Democratic party
will find itself in curious position
upon the opening of Congress. The
Western Democrats never liked Sam
Tilden. They don't, as a class, like
Sam Randall any better. The hand of
GramercY Park is clearly seen in the
Speakershlp campaign. There are not
wanting men among Democrats who
say that it was the Tildcn management
which compasscd the disgrace of the
party in the last presidential cam
paign, and which consented to the sur
render in Congress last winter, and
that these same men shall not be al
lowed to organize the next House of
Representatives in their own interest.
We simply state the facts as given by
other newspapers, and have only to
say that Tilden is especially inimical
to Samuel Cox. The reason 1t Is need
less to assign.

REV. WILEY JONES, of Norfolk,
Virginia, like "Hard Brick" of the
STATESMAN, has been coming over the
pages of the prophecies, and concludes
that the Kingdom of God on earth will
be as literal and visible as any that now
exists, and that this veritable, practi-
cal reign of Heaven will begin when
the River Euphrates begins to grow
dry - that is, when the Turkish En-
pire is being destroyed. This crisis is
indicated, he tells US, in the thirty
eighth chapter of Ezekiel-the great
Russian shall march ''out of his place
in north parts" This is said to occur
when call men that are on the face of
the earth shall shake at the presence of
the Lord" The second verse of the
same chapter should read: "The
Prince of Rosh, Mescheck and Tubal, "
the Rosh being the Russian. At this
point in his discourse the eloquent and
excitable Bro. Jones seemed to be
alarmed and much enthused, asserting
his belief that the end of the world is
near at hand. He implored his hear
ers to seek the Throne of Grace before
it was too late. If Bismarck succeed
in effectipg the restoration of peace,
Bro. Wiley ]. will be grieyously dissp-
pointed, and must postpone the starch
ing of his ascension garments for an
other indefinite period.

ORD AND DIAZ.

The law of nature is the law of ma,
tions. Vattel, in expounding the op-
Grafton and applicability of the one,
defined the purview of the other. In
fact, like other human laws, as assert
ed by Blackstone, it is the perfection
of human reason. In matters affecting
TIE rights and relations OF States, Vat
tells assertions are as conclusive as
declarations of Blackstone touching
those of individuals, and Vattel's dictd
are quoted as law by admiralty and
other courts in adjusting questions of
difference between nations. Unless
the rules defined by Vattel have been
modified by treaty stipulations, these
''ru les of action" are deemed final
among treaty-uaking powers. If there
he no modification of the law Of nations
by special stipulstions between Mexico
and the United States, Gen. Ord has
the perfect confessed right, under cir
cumstances defined in the Presidents
instructions, to invade Mexico. Mexi-
CO has no right to complain. Disz is q
man of learning and comprehends the
duties and obligations of his position,
and if Gen. Ord cross the Rio Grande
in pursuit of thieves, Disz would never
think of resenting as an outrage the
exercise, by cur government, ofa plain,
unquestioned right. Vsttel, book iv.,
chapter iv., page 40 of Law of Ma
tions, says:
II We have reason to fear the offend
ers viii escspe-as, for instance, il 1
band of unknown persons from = neigh
bsring country have made an irruptior
into our territory-we are authorized
TO pursue them with an armed forc'
into their own country until they b
seized; and their sovereign cannot cen
slider s9r conduct in any other lgh
than that Of just and lawful self-de
fense; provided We commit no hostili
ties against innocent persons"

signed and in cases specified, was ap.
proved everywhere in Texas, it was
not because war, but because peace
was thus assured. We had borne dep
relations and outrages till these
became intolerable, and now when
robbers cannot escape with booty into
the coma tbre, the end of knavery has
come, and we have fixed assurances of
peace which can only become final
when the international road becomes an
irrefragable bond of union between the
two republics. If the government of
Mexico is so weak that it cannot con-
troll its own population on the Rio
Grande, what resources can it have for
making war On the United StatesG But
If it is strong enough to perform this
plain duty and yet willfully neglects
1t, We must bring Mexico to proper
sense of international obligations. The
vigorous policy of Mr.. Evarts requires
no apology; what does need apology is
the sentimental forbearance practised
on this subject since the civil war. No
duty of the Federal government is
clearer or more imperative than that of
protecting our citizens from foreign
aggression, and if Mexico will not take
care of her cwn bandits we must per-
form that task for her when they infest

THE East Terds Patron, paying
high tribute to the virtues of Hon. Guy
N. Bryan and his associations, says;
Mr.. Tilden could not so completely,
and In so short time, have stamped
out Grantisln as Mr.. Hayes has done. In
fact every act of the administration. in
which our Interests are involved, in
dicates Justice and liberality towards
the South. With the known purpose
of the President of aiding to restore
our crippled Industries by liberal ap-
propriations for internal improvements
In the South, We have very much to
hope for in the future. Unless We wish
to aid Blaine, Morton and the bloody
shirt politicians in re-establishing sec
tionai hate, and possibly bringing
again on Us all the evils and disorders
from which we hsve escaped, We think
it bad policy, IS well as bad taste, to
question the motives, or make insinua-
tons against the character of one who
has risked much in order to benefit and
revive the South. and whose highest
aim seems to be the re-establishmeut Of
peace and good viii between the differ
ent sections Of his country, by giving
each its full rights under the laws and
Constitution.

Whenever Mexico is mentioned Gen

Whenever Mexico is mentioned Gen.
Pillow must speak. He is again be
fore the public and insists that the
boundaries of the United States must
be extended to the Sierra Madre range
of mountains. If the mountains would
serve as better and safer resort for
cattle thieves than the chaparrals of
the Rio Grande, the Generals policy
would be admirable for the cattle
thieves and If we want most fascinat-
ing bronzed population addicted to dis
order and poverty and ignorance ad-
ded to the present supply of stupidity
and vice thrust into our social system
ballot-boxes we should annex the princl-
and pality, as Pillow proposes, of Cortina
and extend our confines to the noun
tain chain of the Sierra Madre. If we
must dismember Mexico let us adopt
no halfway measures. The whole or
none is the only true policy of the
United States. If we must have satraps
to rule provinces unfit for statehood,
let US have space enough to supply the
demand for satrapies and Mexican
towns and provinces by the score in
which American patriots are to be
trained In the vices of office holding.
We, of the South, have seen enough Of
systems of government to be instituted
in Mexico, if we seize the country or
any part of it, and it is only amazing
that a man of Gen. Pillows
learning and ability should pro-
pose the acquisition, at this juno
ture, of Mexican territory. The fruit
is not ripe. 1t will fall into the lap of
the Union at last. The Union, wisely
administered as to-day through q
quarter of century, will absorb
Mexican and Central American States
by sheer force of governmental and
popular grayitation. When these
mixed races are unified and educated,
when peace and order and intelligence
are begotten of the American railway
system extended into Mexico and from
Yucstan to Acapulco, then these dis
orderly, semi savage States will be pre-
pared for self government, and thus
for annexation. Until that condition
of peace, progress and intelligence
supervenes, we would have no political
confraternity with the Spanish and
Indian races of the Southwest. They
are not fit to govern themselves. They
are of course unfit to participate in
the task of governing the United
States. If we become Just now Their
masters our vices become greater than
those of the people We would rob and
wrong and must virtually euslave.
