JERE BLACK.

TSlde,a and the Presidential Question.
Judge Jere Black, the veteren, is in
Washington, and says, in an interview, after
disclaiming being Tilden man: 90
don't think Tllden wants to be candi-
date of 1880, but he can haye the nomina-
ton if he is willing to take it. All signs
show that the fraud of which he was the
victim in 1873 gives him hold upon the
popular heart which it is hard to to lessen.
Besides, he is known to be a man consum-
mately fitted for the first Office in the nation,
a thoughtful statesman, studious doc
trinaire, with knowledge of practical af-
fairs which makes his Judgment almost in
fallible. AS regards the once much talked
of cipher dispatches, what do they prove?
Why, this, and this only: That those loath-
hands tried to blackmail demanded
money as the price of an honest certificate
and true return. He Indignantly and in
stantly refused to be robbed, and then the
scoundrels fabricated fraudulent returns, for
which they were paid by the Hayes men. +
defy any man to lay his finger upon one
sointilla of evidence beyond what I have
stated which connects Mr.. Tilden with these
infamous rascals in any other way. But tho
false returns were all paid for by the adj
ministration which they put into power.
Every one of that goddess crew is provided
with profitable Office. There is double
baseness in this. To reward men for cor
rupting election returns is unspeakably bad,
but to do it with meney taken from
the public treasury is such an in
finite outrage that it casts common bribery
or ordinary stealing quite into the shade. It
is said Mr.. Tilden ought to have seized the
Presidency and had himself inaugurated at
all risks. This is unmitigated nonsense. If
the House of Representatives had declared
him elected, then he would have Teen un-
faithful to his duty if he had not taken DOS
session; but when his political supporters in
Congress permitted him and his constitu-
ents to be juggled out of their rights, bow
could he remedy the wrong? How, especial
~, can members of Congress, who commit
ted that grave error, throw the blame upon
him? -.-...-.-.
In speaking of the contest in New York
Judge Black says: "a.
The great issues upon which we carried
the election of 1876 are with Us as much as
ever, but accidents are against US. The
coalition between Conkling and Kelly to de-
feat Gov. Robinson is most serious afflio-
ton, and is doing more to discourage the
friends of honest government than anything
that has happened within my remembrance.
If it succeeds it will be frightful wrong.
Robinson has done the State much service,
and they know it. All men admit that he is
true to the people, and they ought to be true
to him. He has, indeed, been great public
benefaotor, as statistics of expenses and tax
alton show beyond doubt. Yet Tammany
proposes to sacrifice not only him, but the
great public interests which he maintained,
because he had failed to please some of its
leaders in the distribution Of patronage. To
think of such treachery is trying to the TOM
per enough to make q true Democrat curse
bis better angel from his side and fall to
reprobation. .@

CONTEMPORARIES IN OFFICE.


One of the principal accusations made by
the Republicans against the Democratic Sen
ate and House has been that those bodies
have seen fit to dismiss from their service
few e1-Union soldiers, and appoint some
Southern Democrats in their place. We do
not approve of everything done in this d.
reetion, for We believe men could have been
found among the Democrats to fill the va
oanoies whose loyalty could not be oues-
toned. These We would have preferred to
honor rather than those who were on the
other side during the war. Yet there is no
grave improperly in the appointments
made, as the appointees seem to have been
selected for their fitness, not because of the
service they rendered to the confederate
cause. ..'..s, .- ..- s..:.- 20.
If, however, the Democrats are to blame
for what they have done, how much greater
condemnation must fall to the lot of Re-

Union soldiers and fills the Offices at his dis
posal with ex-oonfederates! The partially

were there. Among them are about thirty
five persons who were in Mosby's guerrilla

many others equally notorious. Mr.. Sher-
man has never denied the fact that these
people were employed BY him, but in re-
cent interview with Cinoinnsti reporter en-
deavored to create the impression that
he bad not removed Union SOL
diers to make room for them.
The records of the treasury department,
however, convict him Of deliberate falsehood.

PASTOR PARK,

Il Clerical Scandal at Canton, Ohio
Scand0tOus Charges A0ainst a Pronsi.
,,ent Presbytertas, Preacher.
ICanton CO., Special, Oct. H.
The trial of Rev. w. J. Park, late paste,
of the Presbyterian church of Canton, for al
legged improper intimacy with Mrs. Elizabeth
Hicks, one of his congregation, began yes
terday before the MahoninR Presbytery in
this city, Rev. E. D. Vance, moderator.
After the usual preliminary work the judi
cial committee presented an order of prooe-
dure, which was accepted. The charges and
specifications preferred by John F. Clark
and others were then read as follows:
"That Rev. w. J. Park has been guilty of
conduct unbeoominga minister of the Cos
pei, and had acted in violation of his ordina-
ton vows and to the scandal of the religion
which he professed, inasmuch as he had
been guilty of an improper intimacy with
Mrs. Elizabeth Hicks; that he had frequently
visited Mrs. Hicks, and had remained with
her much longer than was consistent with
propriety or limits of pastoral visits. He
had frequently permitted Mrs. Hicks to visit
him at his rooms, and she had remained
q much longer time than consistent with
QEOpIl0Cys DC W6S III Gu0 Q8Olt OF MEETING
Mrs. Hicks before services and remaining
with her long after; and held other clandes-
tine meetings, as subsequently shown BY let
tors and notes exchanged between them, and
that Rev. Park had been guilty of unlawful,
criminal and adulterous conduct in violation
of his ministerial vows, and to the scandal
of religion; tnat there existed between Park
and Mrs. Hicks an unlawful affection, AZ
shown by notes, letters and his own con-
fession; and that he bad asked Mrs. Hicks
to seek divorce, and had given her writ
ten assurances of marriage, thus seeking to
put asunder man and wife, and he had bv
evasions, denials and deceptions shown him
self unworthy the high trust of the Chris
tian ministry, and that by an exchange of
notes and letters, by meetings with and
visits to Mrs. Hicks in the absence of her
husband, and his ioentious, scandalous and
adulterous intimacy with her, has brought
reproach upon his calling, and utterly scan
dalized the cause whose professed advocate
he was.
Rev. Park, with much emotion, replied to
this charge as r0llows:

cretion and weakness to the Presbytery and

s..a. New York Sun.
The Democrats of Minnesota, at their re-
cent State convention, passed resolution
in favor of genuine civil service reform, -
which, they also resolved, should "be put in
to the form of a law"
It may be somewhat difficult to tell what
this means; in itself it is obscure: but read

opinion of the Minnesota Democracy SUBJ
ordinate public officers should have more
certain and enduring title in their Offices

ed scale in this city, and it has wrought con-
slant embarrassment and mischief.
We are strongly inclined to think that if
would only prove subversive of true Demo-
cratic doctrine. Offices are established sole
~ for the convenience of the public, and
not at all for the benefit of those who chance
to occupy them.
We readily admit that the practice of
changing subordinate officers on the inoom-
ing of q new administration of different
politics from its immediate predecessors, is
carried to an extravaganza and injurious ex-
tent. It becomes an evil of no inconsider-
able magnitude. And yet We believe the
making of the title to Office more permanent
would be greater evil. There are great
advantages to counterbalanoe the disadvan.
tages of frequent change. Abuses of power
and oorruptions and defalcations are usually
the fruits of long occupancy. How many
of these are brought to light by forced,
sudden evacuation!
An of6ceholding class partakes Of the ma
ture of an aristocracy. The thousands of
petty clerks in the departments at Washing
ton consider themselves vastly superior to
the farmers and mechanics of the country,
and swell with their own Importance like
piping frogs around pond in spring time,
we'll nigh to bursting. It is good that they
should feel that the little authority they are
dressed in is not only brief, but subject at
any time to be terminated. We have too
much insolence of Office, anyhow, curtall it
as we may.
The Democrats of Minnesota further re-
solved that that government is best which
bestows upon the citizens the greatest per
sonal liberty.
This also we deem an erroneous doctrine.
It treats of government as purely paternal
It is not for government to 'bestow" liberty.
Liberty is bestowed by heaven. Govern:
ment may deprive men of liberty. This is
the great curse of government. But mans
rights and his liberty are given him BY Al
mighty God. And he is in the full enjoy
ment of these everywhere except to just that
extent to which he is deprived of them by
government.
Thus, when the slaves were liberated, free
dom was not. properly speaking, bestowed
upon the slaves. It was simply the cessa-
ton of government any longer to deprive
them of that liberty which was naturally
theirs.
Government is mere machine, wholly in
the control of man, and not an omnipotent
power to grant him favors and to rule over
him.

Retentive Memories.

A number of instances Of great reten-
tiveness and accuracy of memory are
recorded by w-iter in Chambers's
Journal Among the names mentioned
is that of DIR. Robert Chambers, whose
power of memory was very extraordi-
nary. For example, on a certain Occa-
sion he was heard to say, "This day ~
years ago, at 20 minutes past O'Clock,
/ was passing" such number of such a
street, and met such and such one.
The author finds in Sir Walter Scott
and in Charles Dickens like accuracy
of memory, and to this attributes no
small share of their success as story
writers. Then case is cited from one
of DIR. Carpenters writings of a clergy
man who, on visiting Pevensey Castle,
felt convinced he must have seen it be-
fore, and that when he did there were
dOnkeys under the gateway, and some
people on top of it. On inquiry he as
certained that he had been there with a
picnic party, who made the excursion
on donkeys, when he was only about Is
months old. Sometimes the whole his
tory of lifetime will be flashed before
the mind as in an instantaneous pic
tare. That this occurs sometimes when
death, or peril of death, is imminent, is
quite certain. 1t may be that this &C.
ours very frequently before actual
death; but this we can not know, as all
the instances of which we have accounts
are those in which a man has described
his sensations after having been saved
from dying especially from drowning.
"When all hope of Icing saved is gone,
says the author, "and the very struggle
with the water is now made without
conscious effort, it would seem that,
without being prompted by the will, the
memory suddenly grasps at once the
deeds of the life that now appears about
to close, and at the same time-and this
is the most singular fact of the phenom-
enon-recognizes the usual Iectitude or
wrong of each act. There is,' he
continues, ga case of this kind recorded
of an English naval officer, who thus re-
membered the events of his life at the
moment when he was struggling hope
lessly in the wake of the ship from
which he had fallen; and he confessed
that he had been especially struck BIZ
the sudden coming into his thoughts of
schoolboy lie that he had long forgot
