BALTIMORE, April 25.-Rev. Bishop
Edward X. Ames, ID. D., of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, died at his resi-
dence in this city at 1925 o'clock this
morning, in his seventy fourth year, at

Old Harvard, settled pastor at Taun-
ton, Massachusetts,, a stoHt-hearted Puri-
tan patriot, and died in the camp of
Washington at Valley Forge, where he
was a chaplain in the hard winter of TIT
Is. Bishop Ames' father removed TO
Ohio, and there were so many members
of the family residing In the vicinity that
the place of his birth, in Atkins county,
was then known as Amesyille. There
he was born on May 20, 1906, so that he
had nearly completed his seventy-third
year at the time of his death. He was
educated at the Ohio University atAthens
in his native State. He was converted
during remarkable revival Of religion
which took place among the students OF
the University, in August, 1927. Fol
two or three years after he had left col
lege he taught school at Lebanon ILL.,.

the ministry. The school which he star
ted in 1928 became the nucleus of wha,
subsequently was McKendree College.
In August, 1880, he was licensed tc
preach by Rev. Peter Cartwright, o.
worldwide notoriety, and who coulc

Senator Bayard was trained for
mercantile life and subsequently
studied law, coming to the bar in
1851. 10 1853 he was appointed
United States District Attorney of
Delaware, but resigned in 1854. He
was elected to the Senate to succeed
his father, Jas. A. Bayard, and took
his seat March 4th, 1859, and was
reelected in 1875. Nicholas Bayard
was a French Hugenot, who came
to this covntry in 1647, with his
brother-in-law Peter Stuyvesant,
the last Dutch Governor of New
York. James Asheton Bayard, the
grandfather of the present Senator,
was born in Philadelphia. He was
a leader in Congress of the policy
which led to Jefferson's election in
1901, and in 1904 was chosen Sena-
tor, as the successor of his father-in-
law, Gen. Barrett. He was also one
of the commissioners for negotiating
the treaty of Client. James Ashe-
ton Bayard, father of the present
Senator, was elected to the Senate
in 1851, 1857, 1868, and resigned in
1868, on account of i'll health. 1t
is not often such honors have de-
scended from father to son for three
generations; but how noble must
have been the stock that produced
such eminence, and how worthy
to bear the synonym of vapor and
uprightneSs. The present repre-
sentative of the name in the State is
the grandest gentleman of his race.
In moral grandeur no man that the
Republicans can put up can COM
pare with him, and he is the equal
of any Intellectually.

THE STOLEN MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message to the
Forty-sixth Congress is published a
day or two in advance of its trans
mission to Congress, in consequence
of having been surreptitiOusly taken
from the Presidents office and sold
hy the thief to three Eastern jOurn-
ais. We are not going to concern
ourselves much about this theft.
Mr.. Hayes commenced his career as
President by appointing thieves to
office, and if the stealing of Pres
idency is a reason for appointment,
the stealing of a Presidents message
could hardly be reason for re-
moval but it is entirely question
between the President and his en-
ployes. We proceed to the consid-
Grafton of the message itself.
After a little pardonable brag
about resumption, which might be
considerably reduced in dimensions
If criticism We're worth while, he
goes on to recommend the early ex-
tinetion OF greenbacks, leaving, it is
inferred, their places to be filled
nv the notes of the National Banks.
ON this head we viii at present only
saw that, if Secretary Sherman
agrees with him, he has turned still
anotber summerSault since he was
speechifying in Ohio last October.
Then he blows largely about the
GREAT revival of trade, which, Of
course. was brought about by him
and his Cabinet, especially the

Messrs. J. P. DrouiIlard, Samuel

H. Malone, James Vaulx, Albert
Harris and w. w. Berry, of Nash
vile, have bought up all but six of
the one hundred 81 900 bonds of the
Cumberland Iron Works Company
at 40 cents in the dollar, and, if pos
sible, the remaining six will be
bought at the same price. The pur-
chase includes A. 900 acres of land
on the south side of the Cumberland
river, and Bear Spring and Dover
Furnaces. The best property, at
the price paid, in the State. The
new company will commence ope-
rating Bear Spring Furnace as soon
as a permanent organization has
been effected. The company repre-
sent capital of more than 81, 000,-
900. Capt. Drouillard will doubt
less be the general uperintendent,
and his experience and ability are
evidences that he will make it a
success. All the gentlemen con-
cerned are of exalted character and
ripe experience, and our county is
to be congratulated that they are
now identified with US in the veal
and woe of old Stewart. We wish
them unbOunded success.

mapped out by Col. Warning, of the

tary reform which DIR. Billings and
his cO-labOrers of that association
have told us is essential to our
health and life in future. 1t only
remains to draft a bill embodying
these purposes and providing for
carrying them forward to speedy
contamination, and to frame a me-
mortal to the Governor praying an
immediate call of the Legislature
for that purpose, and as a people we
have done all that we can in the
premises, beyond implicitly and to

out, Pecksniff the church-warden,
the philanthropist, the immaculate,
the sancfimonious. But Pecksniff
was found out as a swindler, lib
ertine and a drunkard, and the
maudlin dwelling of his old sancti-
monious slang, after he had been
unmasked, his affectionate piety
hiccuped up between drinks is one
of the most wonderful pictures Of
depravity that even Dickens has
drawn. But even the genius of
Dickens could not make this picture
attractive to readers; it was too
loathsome. They are forced to
close the book, mortified and hui
inflated at being compelled to ac-
knowledge that, base as it is, it is
one chapter in the baser capabilities
of human nature.
In this message Mr.. Hayes is
Pecksniff after ne was found out
Pecksnif after his big drunk.
However, he goes on, as if in
virgin innocence, to. suggest that
injustice may have been done to
Office holders by assessing them too
high for electioneering purposes
and proposes statutory provisions
against it. He knows very well
that any such provisions, if really
effective, will be resisted to the
death by his own party.
The rest of the message is occupied
with matters that might have been
left to the newspapers, which give
more prompt aud more reliable in
formation than the President, on
Australian expedition, the new
cable and foreign affairs generally.
On Indian affairs he deplores, Of
course, the late atrocities.
While these occurrences, in which
a comparatively small number
of Indians were engaged, are most
deplorable, a vast majority of oul
Indian population have fully JUST.

believe that by humane and peace
full influences the Indian can be lee
to abandon the habits of savage life
and to develop capacity for usefu
and civilized occupations, which
they have already accomplished il

chanical work.
And then he proposes leases o
land to them, schools, etc., etc., ant
an extension of the homestead law

themselves worthy of it.

our time to see half a million Amer
leans in arms again for any purpose,
certainly not for that of keeping
European capital out of an enter
prise which would be more benefl-
cial To our people than to all the

The President, for proposing to
retire the greenbaeks, has already
received a severe snub from his own
side of the house, Mr.. Fort having
offered the following resolution to
that effect:
Resolved, That any attempt to
withdraw or change the legal status
and quality of any paper money
issued by the United States, or re-
open by legislation the currency
questions settled by the decisions of
the Supreme Court, and universally
adopted and approved by the people
would be injudfcious and misehiev-
Gus, and could only result in divert
ing business and retard returning
prosperity, and this House is EN-
phatically opposed to any such leg
islation.
Senator Baldwin is to take Mr..
Chandeliers place on the Committee
of Commerce and Senator Ferry on
the Committee on Naval Affairs.
Il
The greenback paragraph in the
Presidents message seems to have
introduced some discord on the
Democratic as well as on the Re
publican side; at least Messrs. Bay
ard and Beck are not quite in tune.
Either one is rather too sharp or the
other is decidedly fiat. Thus, Mr..
Bayard moves that,
From and after the passage Of
this resolution, Treasury notes OF
the United States shall be receiva.
BILE for all dues to the United States
excepting duties on imports, and
shall not be otherwise a legal ten
der; and any of said notes hereafter
reiSsued shall bear this superscrip
ton;
while Mr.. Beck introduces a bill
"to authorize the payment of i'm
port duties in legal tender notes."
Mr.. Beck introduces one bill tina
