The Orator from Custer.

He came into the convention on Sat
urday, and silently espoused his cause
to two prominent judges of this city,
there assembled. He looked some like
George Francis Train, possessing the
audacity, but lacking the ability Of
that patriot. In appearance he brought
to mind the story of Grimes, having
his rubber oyercoat all buttoned up be-
fore. He arose after 4 formal intro
duction, and announced himself as q
self appointed minority man, in the in
terest of the down-trodden few ut Gus
ter. The chair decided in favor of the
man from Custer, and he mounted the
rostrum. Figuratively speaking, he
grappled with his ideas like n setting
hen, trying to monopolize Il hennery.
His attempts at oratory were so shall
low, that great enthusiasm was mani
tested by the audience generally, to
allow him to expand, and limitations
were hurled at him to take off his coat.
1t was generally understood that he
wanted TO appear for Custer, but other
arguments, if he offered any, were lost
in the attraction Of his strange express
ion of countenance. The convention
forgot itself during this farcical tower
ing, and having vented his smothered
wrongs, i. e., the depression of Custer,
he acknowledged his inability to hold
the convention, and asked the chair if
it was advisable for him to retire, to
which the chair %assented, and he quit
the stage. Deadwood Times.

Progress of the Presbyterian Assembly.
Chicago, May 29.-In the Presbyte-
rian assembly this forenoon, the com
mittee on church erection reported
overtures from the presbytery at Ogden,
Utah, which asks that the assembly
instruct the board of church erection
to break over their rule requiring q
previous church organization and the
payment of the entire cost thereof be-
fore aid can be given, and to make some
exception in the work among Mormous,
Indians and Mexicans, on account of
the h%ardships and poverty to which
these people are subjected. The COM
mittee recommend that the assembly
decline to act on this overture. Re-
port accepted. Rev. w. c. MILAN
made q speech, urging the Importance
of work among the Mormons. The

then considered.

NAIL 70 THE CHIEF.

Gen. Grant has arrived In England
at last, and IL the English people, as a
nation, are not happy, Miss Nellie and
her husband, Mr.. Sartoris, undoubtedly
are. We are told that the aldermen at
Queenstown presented him with an
address, and we dare say that the tradi-
tional gold snuff-box and the freedom
of the city will Ultimately follow. We
are sorry, however, that the presenta-
ton of the address twas opposed by
some because he had declined to receive
the address of the Irish nation" We
are sorry, because only q short time ago
the Pope, commenting about the Irish
as a people, and America as their
home, outside Of Ireland, said that to
America, the Irish, as q people, owed
their present liberty and the develop
ment of their manhood. The Irish are,
universally speaking from q decided
point, soldiers, and they should have
treated this soldier among the soldiers
of the world as such, and not in his
character of a ruler, who chad shown
himself a persistent enemy of the
! Catholic church" What we know of
the General leads us to speak as de-
cidedly as we do. The General has no
very decided views upon religion. He
undoubtedly has ideas upon the sub
ject as we all have, and attended the
Methodist church in Washington, but
not as a representative of that religion,
but purely in his capacity as a private
citizen, not rs the Chief Magistrate of
the country. Hence our disposition to
stigmatize this attempt Of Irishmen to
ignore the ability and prominent traits
in the character of this gentleman.
Gen. Grant has done much for the
Irishman. lie discovered Sherman and
| Sheridan and others of like ability.
1t was perfectly astounding to think
that this Fritz" of the American re-
public did what no other nan was ca
pable of doing before him-picking
ont executive men, and, generally
speaking, they were Irishmen. But we
will not linger oven the subject, but
simply suggest that, in II opinion,
" the Irish priest who preached a SER
mon against Grant because he had
shcwn himself q persistent enemy of
the Catholic church will be hauled
over the Goals by not only his bishop,
but by that " all seeing eye" at
Rome, the Pope, will have something
to say upon the subject as well. Gen.
Grant has been commended to the no.
tice of the nations abroad, a a Cen
eral of the armies when the United
States was in danger of anarchy. He
carries with him, also, the prestige of
having been the President of the United
States, and he comes among the people
of the eastern continent, not in the
character of a creedist, but simply in
much the same way as the Prince of
Wales, or the Grand Duke Alexis,
when he visited our country; and will
be received accordingly, especially as
our government has requested it.

Israelites, to-day, the committee on sta
tistics made n report, showing the state
of the charitable institutions, number
OF newspapers, etc, under Jewish con
troll. Four secret Hebrew societies
were mentioned, showing a member
ship of $4,000. Simon Wolf, of Wash
ington, vice president of the meeting,
read the following from Secretary of
State Evarts, dated Washington, May
26, ".
l have TO acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the LIST inst, in relation
to the hardships, outrages and persecu-
tons of Israelites dwelling i'll Turkish
provinces. In view of the oppression
of these unhappy people and of the
dangers to which they L exposed,
you appeal to the department, to in
struct United States ministers and rep
resentatives near the Turkish prov
inces, to cooperate with their colleagues
in such measures us may be desired, for
the relief and protection of Hebrews
dwelling in these principalities, and
you instance, especially, those in Rou-
mania. Much misery that is now being
endured, is i~nseperable from the state
of war in which that country is en-
gagged.
The provinces are all more CT less
under military control, and it is feared
that the ordinary diplomatic protest
and representations cannot be made at
present as effective as is wished, by all
who desire to see right, justice and hu-
manity prevail. In furtherance Of your
wishes, the department will refer a
copy of your letter to our minister at
Constantinople, with instructions to
take such action in the matter as will,
i'll his judgment, be best calculated to
secure amelioration of the condition of
the oppressed people. I am. etc.

Mail managers here now believe the

ty that the vessel could have been forty
miles from the coast when so near

that MacNIahon has written to the
Pope, expressing his confidence that, in
the serious position in which France
now stands, his Holiness would con-
tinue that beneyolence he had always
manifested.
The government of MaIrid, in view
of the antagonism shown by a section
of the episcopal clergy towards it, have
made representations to the Vatican
to use its authority to dissuade the re-

rectly requested the good offices of the

MARSHAL IMAGINATION, the President

officially, as. regards the changes in his
administration, ard-nis action III pro-
roguing the French Chamber: II am
conscious of having fulfilled 4 great
duty. I haro remained and shall re-
main absolutely within the bounds Of
legality. 1t is because 1 am the guar
dian of the constitution that 1 acted as
] have. To attribute to me an inten-
ton Of ~assailing the constitution is a
Misrepresentation of my character. This
country will soon comprehend that my
sole aim is the salvation of France and
the government she has given herself. ~
Now then, this sounds and reads
smoothly-but the future alone, the
grand predetermined future of the lib
erty and prosperity of the French as a
nation, remains with them as a people
to decide at the polls-and Marshal
.MacMahon will fully realize this when
he attempts to adopt an autocratic rule
