THEY COULDN'T ,SA Y No.

A short time AGO the trustees of a
certain Episcopalian Theological Sem
mary came to the conclusion that one
OF the faculty OF the institution was
not the right man in the right place.
1t was intimated to him that his resig.
nation would be accepted if rendered.
He declined to take the hint. The al
fair led to good deal OF trouble Of one
sort and another. Finally compro.
mise was effected the trustees passed
resolutions expressing ssentirc conf.
dence in his ability, integrity, sound.
ness in the faith, fidelity, in bis success
as Professor and in bis general Chris.
tian character" whereupon the Pro.
fessor pocketed the resolutions and re.
signed.
We know nothing Of the merits of
this particular case, but this much is
certain. The resolutions say oil in
favor of the Professor in question that
could be said of any man-what more
could be asked than that a Professor
should be able, honest, sound, success
full, and his Christian character above
reproachY If the trustees believed
that these resolutions expressed the
truth, there was no excuse for their
action in trying TO oust the Professor
from bis position, and no ought not to
have resigned. But we more than
suspect that, however true the resolu.
tions may have been, the trustees did
not believe them to be true. 1t ia an
evident case of white. washing. They
weakly consented, in order to get rid
of the Professor, 10 give him certif.
cate Of ability and character, OF which
their acts proved them to believe him
undeserving. They couldn't say no.
There is too much of this sort of
thing done. Ii is no uncommon thing
for a church to smooth over a pastors

subjects with which he was familiar,
and many of them have been translated
into several foreign tongues, and he
has written many vouminous and ex
haustive reports f; but he has never
written, singular as the fact may seem,
one sirgle regular book. The list and
titles Of his papers cln be referred TO
in the Royal Society catalogue Of scien.
tific papers. In Johnson's new Uni
versal Encyclopedia, ProfHenry has
a most elaborate article on Hygrome-
try, or moist measure, and in the same
work he has a sketch of the life OF his
valued friend, James Wilson Grimes,
of Iowa, deceased in l872-the great
point in the sketch being vmdicauon
of Mr.. Grimes vote in the Senate of the
United States against the impeach-
ment of Andrew johnson.
Soon after Professor Henry went to
Princeton College, in 1922, he married
there Miss Alexander, the sister of a
brother Professor. She survives her
noble husband, whom she greatly re-
sembled in gentleness and refinement,
benevolence and Christian charity, and
she is the recipient on every hand Of
the sincerest coincidence. Three daugh-
ters also survive their honored father,
and the one who is an invalid is spe-
cially remembered by sympathy in her
great grief His only son was buried
some eighteen years since. Professor
Henry was member Of the New York
Avenue Church, and, unlike some great
men in science, he was an earnest be-
lever in the religion of Christ, TO whose
life he assimilated that of his own, as
tar as he could, When the discussion
was rife regarding Professor Tyndalrs
prayer test, Professor Henry said that
prayer was something above and be-
yond science. He was most devout
believer in its efficacy, and around his
hearthstone, prayer was never omitted.
Prof Henry never derived any pecu.
mary benefit from his inventions, and
died comparatively poor man. Some
time ago $4,000 were raised by Prot.
Henry's friends for his use during bis
lie time, and letter regarding this
was read to the Academy of Sciences
tho 10th of April last, at that time in
session here. This fund will now re-
vert to the uses OF The academy. He

no new thing that men should wear

TO bo time for business men TO look
closer into the conduct OF officials who
hold in trust tho money of others, and
that professions of piety should not

commercial value. While II Is certain
that sincere and God.fearing chris.
tian must be an honest man, Il by no
means follows that all honest men are
pious, or that oil who proclaim their
picty are honest. A melancholy fea.
ture of the trouble is that christian
communities are so slow TO believe that
professors Of religion are hypocrites,
and thus they rally around men who
have been guilty Of gross breaches OF
morality, and make common cause
with them, to the great scandal of the
church. In the besotted devotion which
Plymouth church showed for Henry
Ward Beecher, the fact that Schuyler
Colfax still goes around lecturing to

grading from these down to the low.

tuary for sanctimonious fraud. In
recent synod of great christian
church there was learned discussion
OF the physical effects Of prayer"-a
question we have no intention 10 con-
slider. For how small are the inter-
ests which depend on its solution in
comparison with the spiritual and NOR.
al results of prayer; and how subtle
is the assault on even the spiritual ef-
fects ofprayer, when the jeering world
can look on and see men loudest in the
tabernacle on Sunday are swindlingin
the bank on Monday men who are
giving to the establishment of missions
to-day and robbing the widow and or.
phan of their savings tomorrow Far
be it from us to say that true religion
is not the ruling motive of many no.
bic and useful lives. On the contrary,
we know that IL elevates the moral
nature OF all those who live by 1t. But
in religion the great fact is the rela-
tion OF man to God: morality touches
only the relation of man 10 man. And
though these two 60 hand in hand, tits
natural that the first in the minds Of
many should overshadow the second.
That christian people should be ready
to forgive the sin Of an erring brother
may be very well, but they should not
be ready at the same time to condone
or shelter the crime; the offence
against God can be left to His justice
and mercy; the offense against the
fellow-m man should be punished with
inexorablo loseverity. Unless this is done
there will be conflict hereafter, CON-
pared with which that between relig.
ion and science will be insignificant:
it will be the conflict of religion and
neutrality-suspicious. Gazette.

OVER WORK


When President Orton, of the West
crn Union Telegraph Company, left
his office on Saturday evening, April
9th, be is said to have been in espe-
cially good spirits. There was appar.
emily every reason why ho should bc.
In tho prime of life, be found himself
at the head OF one Of the greatest cor.
porations in the world, and looked up
to as one Of the master spirits Of the
time. Fame, fortune, friends---all
these he had already secured, and a
rosy future rolled itself out before him.
On Monday morning following, instead
of transmitting his orders for the day,
the wires were flashing the news Of his
death. In that brief interval this
wonderful man of business had been
stricken down with that disease so fatal
to genius, industry, pluck and perse-
erance--overwork. A warning so
sharply pointed as this, should impress
itself even upon this busy, reckless, and
headstrong age but it is much more
likely to be forgotten within the week.
The truth is thatAmericans, SO shrewd
and so iar-sceing in their management
of large industrial or commercial enter
prises, do not display even ordinary
intelligence in their care OF themselves.
They have figured out exactly how
long I rail will last under certain
amount Of wear, they have ascertained
how often machinery of various kinds
must be renewed, they have fixed the
limit of speed at which motors of all
kindsmay be propelled withadvantage,
they have computed, indeed, the lite
and the amount OF service of almost
every object of human use, inanmate
us well as things animate yet the
endurance of the human mind, its
capabilities OF labor, and the most
profitable methods OF exerting its pow
ers, they have wellnigh altogether
neglected. Thus, for example, no ex-
perienced mechanic would think for q
moment Of running such a delicate
piece OF machinery as Hoe press after
the oil with which its parts had been
fabricated had become exhausted and
friction made inevitable but though
the mind is an infinitely more dehcate
piece of machinery than any Of human
invention, how few treat IL with the
care that is bestowed on the press
which prints this paper Looking at
the matter then from n strictly hrei

ALARMED ALREADY.

The Cleveland Herald is greatly
alarmed about the probability OF the
Democrats controlling the next House
at Washington, because, with Demo.
cratic Senate and House, they would
be certain TO count in the Democratic
candidate for President, whether elect.
cd or not. OF course they will il they
can, Just as the Republicans did last
time and will do again il they get the
chance; but if the Republicans could
count in Hayes against popular ma
jority of q quarter of million and q
decided majority of the electoral votes,
with a Republican Senate and a large
ly Democratic House, why may not
the Democrats do the same in 1881
with Democratic Senate, whether the
House shall be Republican or not The
next Senate is already assured TO the
Democrats by from eight to a dozen
majority, and as that body has the Gus
tody of Presidential election returns
and disposes of them at will, it is no
mere phantom that now afllicts the Re-
publican leaders when they look for
ward to the 4tb of March, 1881. Re-
publican vlllainy has established the
fact that the popular will may be do.
fined in the selection Of national rul-
er, and Democratic virtue must become
more heroic than ii has been in the
mast IL IL shall fail TO profit by the Re.

MIR. MARBLE REPEATS THE
FLORIDA STORY,
1a The Editor Of the Korld.

TO the Editor Of the World;
SIR: The striking dispatch from
Jacksonville, Fla, which you publish
this morning as to the Florida election
frauds and the confessions by McLin,
ex-Secretary of State and Chairman OF
the State Canvassing Board, and Den.
mis-, a leading Radical politician there,
would have been yet more striking had
the Associated Press reporter possessed
a full knowledge Of the subject matter.
Permit me to refer you for the real
significance and a full account of the
frauds now confessed, to the following
telegram which sent you from Talla-
hassee, and which you were good
enough to publish on the I'd Of Deccm-
ber, 1876. oH s
In the laborious task of uneartbing
or preventing fraud in the Florida can
vass, which several Northern gentle
men sacrificed much time and their
private occupations TO accomplish, it
fell to my lot to request of three OF
them the investigation and proof Of
these doings, now confessed, IN Alachua
county. These gentlemen were Sam
ucl &. Thompson, Of Philadelphia (son
of the late Chief J,stice) Malcolm
Hay, Of Pittsburg, and Geo. W. Guthrie
(whose name identifies his kinship), of
the same city--three lawyers, young
indeed, but for their years, esteemed
of the very foremost quality in their
profession. In four or FIVE days they
returned from their arduous work in
Alachua to Tallahassee, bringing proofs
so complete, so well.digested, and SO
clear, OF the frauds now confessed, that
the confessions sound to me hike an
echo. Their proofs were so stringent
indeed, that they put Ex-Governor
Moves, of Ohio, now United States
Minister to France, to the trouble OF
earning his wages by as barefaced com
plicity with fraud as the County Can
vassers had been, and the State Can
vassers, McLin and Cowgirl. were like
wise Obliged to be guilty of in order
to reach their end.
The proofs thus collected were press
cd upon the attention Of tho Canvass
ing Board by the Hon. Geo. w. Biddle,
