ton OF two continents,h has again become
the centre of great interest to all
Europe. .,i.ss.. ~,
It was famuos 400 years before Christ;
was considered an important city by
the ancient Greeks; became the capital
of the Roman empire under Constan-
cine the Great, who changed its name
from Byzantium to the city OF Con-
stantiuople. From that time it has
been q city OF splend0r. and magnti-
cence. It possesses many ancient anu
historic buildings, the most famous be-
ing the mosque ofSt. Sophia, which
was built by Justinian, whose greatest
monument is the civil code. Under

TESTIMONIAL.

WHEREAS, Our dearly beloved Pastor, Rev.
JOHN A. EARNEST, has notified the several
congregations composing the Westminster
Charge of the Lutheran Church, that if he
wishes to avert the threatened danger to his
voice he must preach less for a while than
now required; and that he has therefore con-
cluded to resign his present charge, and has
accepted call from st. Peters Church, of
Duchess county, New York, to which place
he will soon remove.
1t is therefore, this 9th day of May, 1878,
by the Council and Officers of Grace Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, of Westminster,
Nd, unanimously
ResoIUed, That in the name of the entire
Congregation, we hereby express our sincere
sorrow and regret to learn the necessity that
compels our beloved Pastor to sever the
relations which have existed between us
for over eight years, and which have been so
invariably pleasant and profitable to us; and
we assure him that he will ever be held in
kind remembrance, not by US only, but we
believe also by the people of his Charge, as
well as by our entire community; and will
have our and their warmest wishes for his
success in every way, and for the welfare of
himself and his dear family.
ResolUed, That we hope he may soon be
relieved from all apprehensions of danger to
his health; and be long continued in the Min
istry of Christ, to which he is so much devo
ted, and for which he possesses in no ordi-
nary degree all the qualifications to be emf
nently useful.
ResoIUed, That the above resolutions be
entered on the minutes of our proceedings,
and copy thereof be furnished Brother Ear
nest by the Secretary.
Resolued, Since, That they be also pub
lished by request in the Westminster papers.

The Ship Canal.

Senator Whyte, of this State, presented
to the Senate, on Monday, the resolutions
of the Legislature, suggesting aid from
Congress in constructing the projected ship
canal to connect the waters of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware bays. In presenting
these resolutions Senator Whyte supported
their object and said
"Of several routes proposed, the southern
most seems most practicable and valuable.
1t would begin about fifty-fve miles from
Baltimore, on the Chesapeake bay, at the
mouth of the Choptank river, and by lines
not necessary at this time to be specified in
detail, it would cross the peninsula and strike
Delaware bay about four miles above the
breakwater This route would require not
more than forty miles of canal proper. The
distance from Baltimore to the Delaware
breakwater, descending Chesapeake bay and
passing around Cape Charles and ascending
the coast, is about 325 miles. By canal
route such as l have indicated a vessel bound
to Europe or to any point south of Cape
Henlopen would save in distance from $50 to
100 miles"
The Choptank river is navigable for the
largest class of vessels a considerable dis
lance above its mouth. The length of the
canal, therefore, could be shortened con-
siderably below the above estimate. By
dredging out the shoals at Cabin Creek, it
could be made navigable some miles above
the town of Cambridge, and the almost
dead level of the peninsula on that route
would render such a thing as a lock quite
unnecessary 1t is a mistake, however, to
suppose that location upon that route
would place it out of the region of OBJ
struction by ice. We have seen wagons
heavily loaded with wood, drawn by four
horses, upon the ice on the Choptank river,
notably in 1886, which to be sure was an
unusually cold winter. There can be no
question, we think, that the Choptank
route is the best that could be selected.

Passage of the Potter Resolutions.

After a week of strife in the House OF
Representatives, in which the Republicans
interrupted the necessary public business
by preventing quorum, that body sue
ceeded on Friday in passing the resolu-
tions presented by Hon. Clarkson n. Pot
ter. to investigate the charges relating to
the frauds committed in the Presidential
election in the States of Louisiana and
Florida And now, the question is asked,
what is to follow? Will anything of i'm
portance be added to the mass of testimo-
nv already before the country, which re-
yeals the undoubted fact that fraud was
perpetrated in both those States, by which
Hayes was made President instead OF
Tilden, who was elected by the people ?
The advocates of investigation expect to
prove that not only was fraud committed,
but they expect to show evidence of con-
spiracy, and to involve those in high places,
if not the President himself. In that
event, whether process by quo aoarranto
be resolved on or not, the impeachment Of
the President and his Secretary of the
Treasury, and Minister Noyes will be
likely to follow; indeed impeachment must
follow. The Neto Orleans Democrat takes
this view of the case, and indeed, it seems
to be the most rational, and at the same
time the most feasible. That journal says:
There is no question raised as to the Pres
idential title. Facts may be disclosed by the
investigation that would lead to the impeach-
ment Of Sherman, and even OF Hayes; but 1t
is not necessary to cucumber the issue before
the country with such questions as this. Let
the guilt of the persons accused of consum-
mating the fraud be first made plain, and then
impeachment may be found necessary. We,
here in Louisiana, who are cognizant OF the
whole matter, who are confident that an inta-
nous crime has been committed, and who |
are familiar with all its details, know very |
well to what this investigation must eventual |
ly lead. We know very well that the shadow |
of this fraud can never be removed from the |
nations honor until the benefciaries of it are |
driven in disgrace from the high places they |
now occupy, and that after this investigation
is opened Congress can never stop short OF
impeachment. But the Democrats have shown
wisdom in leaving this question to arise in its
natural order. 1t is entirely unnecessary to
thrust it forward now, or to allow it to in any
way interfere with the real issue before the
Countrywide investigation of the frauds by
which the people were cheated out of their
will. Let the consequences of the investiga-
ton come in their regular order, and be met
and disposed of as they arise.

Honest Iago.

John Sherman, Secretary of the Treas
ury, has written letter to Hon. Clarkson
n Potter, in which he protests his entire
innocence of the charges made against him
In connection with the election frauds in
Louisiana He asks that his counsel,
Hon. Samuel Shellabarger, of Ohio, be
permitted to attend the sessions of the
committee He says further that he will
prove that the elections in East and West
Felicianai parishes were carried by the
Democrats through the most revolving,
dabolical and cruel intimidations. This
talk about Democratic violence at the polls
is nothing new. Mr. Sherman and his
conferes, both of the resident and visiting
Republicans who assembled at New Or
leans pending the count, we're loud in their
vociferations upon that subject But they
proved nothing, the testimony which they
attempted to adduce being worthless. The
Republicans had all the machinery of the
elections in their own hands, besides which
they had the United States soldiers to back
them; and their allegation of evidence"
on the part of the Democrats is simply the
expedient of the thief who shouts "stop
thief, as loudly as anybody in order that
he may make good his escape. Mr.. Sher
mans little trick wont do, it is altogether
too stale.
Mr.. Sherman's position in his letter to
Chairman Potter, is simply that of the
adroit thief, who, having securely hid
away his swag, says to the policeman,
'search me" He will, no doubt, be pref
ty thoroughly searched before the commit
tee get through with him.
The ~. Y. Sun says John Sherman will
Of course be examined in due time by the
special committee of the House, in reference
to his connection with the Louisiana frauds
1t is not necessary for him to argue the case
at this moment; it is not necessary for him to
offer to prove any allegations which he has
not been called upon to make; and it is not
necessary that he should ask for the scrutiny
of his personal conduct in Louisiana. The
special committee will adopt the proper
method of dealing with the case. John Sher-
man makes formal application to be repre-
sented before the committee by counsel; but
John Sherman himself will have to make his
appearance.

Mr.. Conkling Softens.
The Philadelphia Ledger gives the fol-
lowing in its New York letter:

The Philadelphia Ledger gives the fol-
lowing in its New York letter:
Senator Conkling, it would appear, has had
a new revelation. He has discovered that
unless the Republican party goes into the
next State campaign without any division in
its ranks he need not expect to be reelected
to the position which he at present occupies.
1t is true he has the State Senate by five or
six majority, but the Assembly at the last
session was Democratic, and there is reason
to apprehend that it will also be Democratic
next winter, unless the party reins on his part
are carefully handled. To carry the Assem-
bly,, therefore, there must be solid ranks, and
to that end it has been determined to some
how bridge over the chasm that at present
divides him from the Administration, so as
to secure the support of Administration Re-
publicans as we'll as Others To that end, l
am credibly informed that the resistance on
the part of Mr.. Conkling to thorough over
hauling of the Custom House, in the interests
of Civil Service reform, is about to be with
drawn. At all events, that is the point that
is freely given out by his friends, and as Mr..
Conkling's friends proverbially never speak
without his knowledge and consent, the an
nouncement has all the weight that it would
have if it came from him direct In order to
maintain his pretensions to the next Republi-
can nomination for the Presidency, it is alb
solutely necessary to retain his hold upon his
own State, and that can only be done by hav-
ing himself re- elected to the Senate. He is
prepared, therefore, to stoop, in order to
conquer. Hence there will be no opposition
in future to any man the President chooses to
nominate in Collector Arthur's place, and the
Naval Office may be dealt with in the same
way. Indeed, it is by no means improbable
that the Senator from New York will ere long
be out even in speech denouncing the reop-
ening of the work of the Electoral Commits
sion as mischievous, uncalled for, &c. Thus,
you see, wonders never cease.

The impending War.
The Relations Of this Country 'eith Eng
Lnnd and Rassia.

A special from Washington is as follows
aThe adyices which have been rec' iveo
by this Government by mail, supplemented
by the cable dispatches to the newspapers
indicate that war is inevitable between
Russia and England. This was the sub
iect of informal comment to-day among
high officials representing the adminlstra-
ton and others representing foreign gov
erpments. 1t was declared that the Uni
ted States would in the event OF war;
proclaim its obligations as neutral under
the terms of the treaty of Washington
and strictly adhere to them.
IF either of the coming belligerents pur-
chase vessels of citizens of this country
before hostilities are declared there VIII,
of course, be no objection made, but the
use, or abuse rather, of our neutral ports
for that or any other purpose calculated to
aid either of the contending Powers, 1t is
declared, will be rigidly prohibited. This
Government has information that Russia
is negotiating, not only for the purchase
of vessels, but of arms and ammunition
in various portions of the United States
and regards it as more in light OF Ger
tainty than a contingency of war;"

gross fraud which deprived the majority
of the people of the United States of their

fraud is upheld by almost the entire party
