BISHOP WILMER,
Death of the Episcopal Bishop of Lou
So;r
New Orleans Democrat. Z


isiana.
New Orleans Democrat, Dec, 81
1t is our painful duty this morning to
chronicle the sudden death of the RIGHT
Rev. Joseph P. B. Wilmer, bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of Louisiana. This mel
ancholy event happened at the st. Charles
hotel, at an early hour last evening, of
apoplexy.
This learned and eloquent prelate was of
distinguished Maryland family, but re-
moved in early childhood to Virginia. He
was graduated at Kenyon college, Ohio. and
entered the ministry in Virginia, where he
married into the Skipwith family, and where
he lived in the discharge of his sacred func-
tons till called to the ministry of ST. Marks
church, in Philadelphia. How he happened
to sever his connection with that congreea-
ton is thus told in "Jewell's Crescent CITY
Illustrated
''He resigned his parish in Philadelphia, at
the commencement of hostilities between
the North and South, believing that the
course pursued by the former towards the
latter was not only unconstitutional, but un-
christian, and feeling that he could not con-
scientiously invoke the blessing of heaven
on the success of cause essentially unjust -
On severing his connection with people
to whom he was greatly attached, and who
regretted the step he felt impelIed to take by
sacred sense of duty, Bishop Wilmer re-
turned to Virginia, where he remained in re-
tirement with his family till called to the
Episcopate of Louisiana
1t IS related that, after the war, when Gen.
Lee was offered the presidency of the Wash
ington college, at Lexington, Va, that illus
trlous commander sought DR.. Winners ad-
vice as to the propriety of his acceptance of
the trust. This incident constitutes higher
tribute than any we can pay to the character
of Bishop Wilmer. Him whom Robert Lee
sought for advice as patriot as we'll as a
Christian can need no other commentator.
Whether as citizen or churchman, he
was equally worthy of admiration, and there
was no man in our State who was more uni
versally beloved than Bishop Wilmer. His
discourse, whether from the pulpit or in con-
versation, left but one impression, and that
was that he took the very highest and kind
Hest view of every subject upon which he
spoke.
| Bishop Wilmer was born in 1912, and was
consequently in the 9th year of his age.
His remains will lie in state at Christ church
till o'clock this evening, from which place
he will be buried.

GRANTS RETURN.

The alleged discovery of the Boston cor
respondent of the Chicago Times of a plan
to welcome Grant on his return to this coun-
try In such manner as to force his nomi-
nation upon the Republican party in 1880, is
no discovery at all. For more than six
months past the plan has been the topic of
general conversation in political circles. and
may be said to have been fully matured. al
though some minor details are yet to be ar
ranged.
1t is we'll known that Grant desired to re-
turn home last autumn, and would have done
so but for the fact that such return vonld
interfere with the plans of the third-termers.
They might have given him cordial and
even enthusiastic reception, but long before
the meeting of the Republican National
convention the excitement would die ont
and ne would have to depend for success
upon the ordinary appliances and resources
OF the politicians. This is not the purpose
OF his friends. They wish to create for him
a spontaneous enthusiasm, upon which he
could ride once more into the executive
Office. They propose to time the enthusiasm
to suit their purpose. He will return to the
country by way of San Francisco, where he
will be treated to reception never before
accorded to an American citizen. Delepa-
lions will be present from all the Eastern
and some of the Western and Southern
States, and train of Pullman palace cars
are now in process of construction, designed
to escort him, in triumphal procession.
across the continent. At each of the cities
on the route it has been arranged to have a
spontaneous demonstration of rejoicing
at the return of the chieftaiu from the perils
of foreign travel. In each city party of
claquers are even now busily engaged in ar
ranging for this 'toutburst' of the popular
alteration, and unless the plans miscarry in
some particular, everything promises the
complete success of the plan.
There is not now, and has not been for
year past, single doubt but it is the pur-
pose of the governing class of the Republi-
can party to place Grant in nomination for
the Presidency in 1880. He presents the
only hope of success which remains to them
he is to-day the most popular man, because

Last night, about 10 o'clock, George M.

Bloods in Germantown Two well-known
young men from Cincinnati, sons of leading
citizens, went to Germantown on hunting

casually acquainted with Mrs. Schaefer and
her daughter Annie, having met them while

discovered where Mrs. Schaefer and her
daughter lived, they went down, hung
around the house, and tried to force an en-

ordered them away. Mr.. Schaefer being

sued, and Leighty drew revolver, but the
bystanders separated them. Schaefer then
threatened to make his wife and daughter

Lelghty, who, being unable to escape, drew
his revolver and shot Schaefer through the

drink, and sometimes very dissipated, but
his family are among the best in the place.
Mrs. Schaefer is daughter of Mr.. William
Gunckel, of Dayton, and sister of Mrs.
William Ampt, of Cincinnati. Miss Annie
Schaefer is an accomplished young lady, and
lived for several years in Cincinnati, where
she attended the School of Design. She
has particular talent as an artist. She was

The committee on reform in the civil SER
vice have agreed upon report prohibiting
special legislation by Congress. This form
of legislation has been productive of many
of the Ills of the body polite. No subject
is deserving of more attention from civil
service reformers, for by prohibiting all
special legislation our national politics can
be lifted out OF the mire of jobbery and cor
ruption into which it has of late fallen.
General laws applicable to all special pur-
poses can be enacted, and do away with the
thousand and one acts designed only for the
relief of individuals or corporations. Some
such reformation must be made in our legis-
lation if we would restore the reign of purity
at Washington and Danish the disreputable
lobby from the corridors of the capitol.

HE Democratic amendment to the Blaine
resolution, it is said, will be of such COM
prehensive character that, if adopted, light
will be thrown on every charge of fraud,
threats, interference OF violence at the polls
in every State of the Union, by either State
or federal officers, and the public will be the
judges of which of the two parties were
guilty of the greater misconduct at the polls.
This is as it should be. No partisan or Sec
tional investigation into such matters should
be had. When the facts are all exposed and
the books balanced, there is no question but
the Democratic record will shine with re-
splendent luster compared with the out
rageous crimes upon the freedom of the bal
lot by their opponents.

GRosvENoH of Ohio, has been interview
ing Hayes, who "is inclined to believe that
Senator Lamar sees that the South has made
a mistake in the conduct of the elections in
some of the States, and that he would pub
licly make such an admission, as he has pri-
vately, but for the fear of ending his own
political career in the South by such an act."
We do not believe that Lamar has made any
such admission, publicly or privately. If he
has done SO he has had exceptional sources
of information. Nobody else at the South
who is worthy of belief can point to an in
stance in which the elections we're unfairly
conducted.

The proposition of certain colored men to
ask Congress to take from the Southern
States the excess of representation they re-
ceived by reason of the acknowledgements of
their race, giving as a reason therefor that
they are practically disfranchised by the

Democrats Of most of the Northern States
demand decrease of their representation
because of their practical Acknowledgement.
The negroes at the South are no more dis
franchised than are the Democrats of Wis

other States. The added brain that con-
celVed the proposition could not properly

Salt Lake Herald.
Hon. Orson Hyde, who has been i'll TO,
some time past, died at o'clock on Thurs
day evening. The telegram transmitting
the intelligence was not altogether unexpect-
ed, he having been in very precarious con-
dition at different times during his recent
illness, and though having rallied, he had at
no time sufficiently improved as to inspire a
sangulne hope of his recovery. His death
was caused by the deposit of watery materi-
al IN his blood, superinduced by an increase
OF adipose tissue near the heart, which re-
tarded the circulation by pressing upon the
blood vessels, ultimately producing the all
ment that caused his demise.
Hon. Orson Hyde at the time of his death,
and for many years prior to that event, was
one OF the most prominent men in the ter
rltory. While yet a young man, and when
the Mormon church was in it's infancy, he
became member of that faith, since which
time he has figured conspicuously in the
history of the people with whom he had cast
his lot, and for whose welfare he has ever
been an active and Jealous laborer. Pre-
vlous to his alliance with the Latter-Day
Saints he had useful experience, having
been member of two other denominations
IN one OF which he became a preacher. How
ever, upon hearing "Mormonism,'' he
severed his former connection, became a
member of the faith then being promulgated,
and began an experience which was as varied
as it was arduous. For years he Travelled
and taught the tenets of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints, laboring assidu-
ously for the dissemination of the new doc
trines, walking miles upon miles to do SO
with knapsack upon his back, and without
purse or scrip. In 1887 he went to England,
where he labored for about one year. Sub
sequently, after returning to America, he was
sent on mission to Jerusalem. he landed
at England, passed through Germany, re-
NAMED at Bavaria and studied the Ger
man language, thence to CONSTANT
nople, Cairo, and Alexandria, and final
y, after many vicissitudes, reached
Jerusalem. He there visited a number of
places familiar to scripture readers, and
ascending the Mount of Olives dedicated the
land for the gathering of the Jews. The
time of his union with the Mormon church
was sufficiently early to make him partner

We have oftentimes asked ourselves the
question: Why is this foreigner Grant
lionized wherever he appears in Europe?
That he may have distinguished himself in
his own country and achieved great deeds,
we are willing to admit; but what claims to
recognition he can have on this side of the
Atlantic we fail to perceive, if we are to
Judge him according to his behavior here.
He was pre-eminently honored by our
august monarch and his ministers beyond
any precedent in history, and yet he has been
very negligent, not to say guilty of a
gross breach of good breeding and etiquette
IN having failed to pay his respects and con-
gratulat1ons to the king Immediately after
his lucky escape from the hands of an as
sass1n, because, forsooth, the railroad tickets
had been bought for Lisbon, and the loss of
the sum could not, in his mercenary mind.
be for moment entertained. Had he been
descended from royal blood he would not
have hesitated.
Our statesman, Elk Minister Silvela, in ac-
companying him to the station, and charg-
ing himself with messages of congratulation
to the king, evinced sad lack of tact he
should have left him to depart unattended.
