The Philadelphia North American
has the following detailed account O
late squabble between Congressman
Blackburn and Congressman Cofroth
both Democrats in Congress on Thurs
day last: Mr.. Cofroth, has at last con
sented to give the details of his ''scens'
with Blackburn during the late strug.
gle over the Townshend bill. His
action in this dispute is quite likely Ia
give him the next nomination for Gov
ernor, since he has already announced
himself candidate. Coffroth says
soon after eleven o'clock, having be
come disguste1 with the action Of the
free-traders, he strobe over to the Ken
tuckian's seat and told him plainly
that tho hlibustsring had gone far
enough. He asked him to consent to
an adjournment, so that compromise
might In the meantime be patched up.
Blackburn replied, tauntingly: ~ have
already sent over 10 the Republicans,
your masters, two propositions for CON-
|promlee, and both have been rejected.
Randall" continued the fre-eating
southerner, "is a traitor to his party,
and had better pack up his baggage
and 60 over to the Republicans at once
| would vote tomorrow to put a Repub.
lican Speaker In the ohair.",
Cofroth defended the Speaker from
the charge Of inddelity TO his party,
and insisted that the southern men
should be the last to bring such an in
famous imputation against him. Black
burn sneeringly retortsd, Gan you
Psnnsy lvanis Democrats are traitors to
your party" to which Coffroth quickly
replied, "D0 you m san to include mes"
To this the retort was, "Yes, l do"
Cofroth then said, "You are liar"
Blackburn at this point reached out
for the Pepnsylvanian, who in face and
physique resembles Governor Hoyt.
The blow was not struck, however, as
several members rushed in and prsvsn.
ted it. Coffroth got in the last shot,
however, in these words: Randall and
myself are true to the Democratic
party, while you were a traitor to your
country, was guilty Of treason, and
ought to have been hung. II you come
outside, sir, | will slap you in the face"
Blackburn did not go. Coffroth says
that if it would not have been for the
attendant disgrace he would have
knocked the Kentucky member down
At his seat. But he kept his temper. As
he never drinks, he, OF course, was not
trunk at the time. In the meanwhile |
ne concludes: ~ want it to be under
stood that no rebel brigadier shall
Dulldozs me-" This is alleged to be the
rus story OF an episode which has
'aused much talk in Washington. Mr..
Blackburn denies that he charged the
Speaker with partisan infidelity, dut
declared that all Of the Pennsylvania
Democrats went back on their party in
tanding by the Republicans for protsc-
ion.

ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS.

From an article in the Popular Science
Monthly for June we gather that the dis
covery of mode of making diamonds
some time since announced, is genuine
one. Curiously enough two Edinburgh
scientists were engaged in the same pur-
suit. One thought he had discovered the
way to make diamonds, but his discovery
proved a fallacy. The other investigator
a few weeks subsequently hit upon the
right way, and his diamonds have been
pronounced real by the highest authorities.
As yet it does not seem probable that a
great revolution will be effected by this
invention, inasmuch as the cost of produc-
ing the diamonds is not brought within
reasonable limits. Of course only the in
vention of a cheap process for manufacture
ing diamonds would result in the degrade.
ton of these gems from their present high
place, and it appears that the Edinburgh
diamonds cost more than the natural ones
thus far. But the secret once found, it is
only question Of time for cheap processes
cation of diamonds will ensue as must
bring down the value of hundreds of mill
ions worth of property to mere nominal
sums. In fact it may prove very disas-
trous discovery, instead of being bene-
fetal one.

THE SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

The Board of Education has finally
decided not to re.examine the pupils of the
first grade in the Sacramento Grammar
School, though it is by no means clear that
this is the wisest conclusion under the cir
cumstances. At the meeting of the Board
on Thursday night, however, Superin-
tendent Landes called attention to sim
gular state of things in regard to the
examination papers of the Capital Grammar
School. 1t was shown that while the
credits assigned for the several examples in
the arithmetic examination aggregated
high totals, the examiner or some other
person had altered all the totals put at
the top of the papers, and had reduced
them on an average ten per cent. Thus,
whereas footing of all the credits on
given paper gave total of 100, the show
ing made was only 90; and this process
had been carried through all the papers
in that grade. This is certainly an
extraordinary condition of things. 1t
would seem that whoever altered
the figures at the head of the papers must
have had special motive for producing
the impression that the pupils in that class
had done worse, instead of better, than
they actually did. The fact of the altera-
lions and Of the reduction of credits
resulting, cannot be doubted. The ques-
ton OF the responsibility for those changes
is as yet undetermined, but it IS incumbent
upon Professor Adams, who was the
examiner in this case. either to show that
he did not himself make the alterations,
or, failing that, to furnish satisfactory
explanation of his motive for making them.
At present we can only be sure that some
body made the changes, and that Professor
Adams was the examiner, and had in
charge the marking up OF the papers.
1t is of course difficult to assign an
| adequate motive for such an act

KALLoCH.

Kalloch and kearney have been let out
together, though the former is not yet
free from apprehension, since it is the in
tention of his prosecutors to appeal the
case to the Supreme Court. The ruling of
the Superior Court, to the effect that he
cannot be punished as Mayor for acts done
in an unofficial capacity, evidently opens
the door for some subtle argument. When
a man is made Mayor, for instance, how
deeply is he supposed to be saturated with
officialdom? Is he Mayor only during
official hours, and does he subside into a
private citizen every afternoon when he
leaves his Office? Can he act otherwise
than as Mayor while he holds that Office /;
or is it impossible for him to act as a
Mayor unless he is performing some public
duty? These and other equally abstruse
and puzzling questions will have to be
determined by the Supreme Court, and
considering the difficulties of the task it
will be well if the final decision is rendered
before Mayor Kalloch's official term ex-

THE GENEVA AWARD.

1t is interesting to observe the struggles
of Congress over the distribution of the
balance of the Geneva Award 1t is in
teresting principally because the average
Congressman has evidently completely
forgotten the history of that award, and
looks upon it as stray fund, to be appro-
priated to whatever use his interest or
caprice may suggest. The fact, however,
is, that the Geneva Award was payment
on account of certain precisely specified
claims, which after severe examination
were allowed by the British Government.
Now it results from this that Congress has
no moral option in the premises For if it
should decide that those on whose account
the claims were made are not entitled to
the compensation awarded, it in so de-
Gliding confesses that it obtained the money
under false pretenses, and that it has no
title to it. Congress has in fact ne
right whatever to dispose OF any
part of this fund for any other
purpose than the settlement of the claims
which were admitted by Great Britain.
When the other day member rose and
moved that the balance of the Award be
employed in erecting public buildings all
over the country, he was laughed down,
but however absurd such proposition may
be, it is no whit more improper or ridicu-
lous than those which have already been
seriously entertained by Congress. That
body first made solemn averment that GER
tain persons and classes of persons had sus-
tanned such and such damage from rebel
cruisers. England agreed to pay large
sum in compensation. But so soon as the
money is paid over Congress begins to re-
ject the claims upon the strength of which
the Award was made, and thus gives the
lie to its previous assumptions. This is
not creditable position to be taken by
the national legislature, but unless all signs
fail a far worse one may be reached eventu-
ally in this connection.

founder of Christianity; when bishops were
merely veteran politicians, and dogmas
merely political issues the main difference
being that dogmas were enforced with sword
and fire. A more utterly unchristian age
Christianity cannot exhibit. In fact,
Hypatia, the heather philosopher, was
one OF the very few real Christians then
living, and naturally the others hated her,
for her virtues threw their vices into
disagreeably strong relief. The view of
the relation of Cyril to the murder of
Hypatia taken by Rev. Charles Kingsley
in his story is undoubtedly that which is
most favored by the best modern critical
judgment. Cyril of Alexandria was no
doubt strong man, and he may be con-
coded to have been an able theologian, but
his character and his deeds were alike
odious, and he has earned a bad eminence
as one of the worst churchmen at time
when the church swarmed with bad men.

THE CHARACTER OF CYRIL OF ALEX
ANDRIA

We observe, in the June number of the
Californian, letter signed NJ. Coleman,
Smartsville, Yuba county, in which an
attempt is made to whitewash Bishop
Cyril, of Alexandria, whose suspected
responsibility for the atrocious murder of
Hypatia has helped to render infamous
name already sufficiently blackened with
i'll deeds. We should have supposed that
no one at this late day would think it
worth while to undertake at once so thank
less and impracticable a task as the reha-
Utilization of Cyril of Alexandria's reputa-
ton. In the first place the tendency of
the evidence is to justify the belief that he
GU ght to be held accountable for the murder
of Hypatia, if he did not directly suggest
it to Peter the Reader and his savage mob
following of Nitrian monks. There is
certainly nothing in Cyrils character to
warrant the supposition that even so
hideous a deed would have been re-
pugnant to him. For a more unscrupu-
lous, brutal, ferocious, intolerant, priest of
Belial never lived. His whole career was
succession of brawls, tumults, sanguinary
riots, fierce contentious, dirty intrigues,
and furious polemics. Bright's description
of his character is a complete travesty, un-
supported by one ascertained fact of his
own time. A far ADLER and more trust
worthy historian, Dean Milman, says OF
him that she may be hero or even
g saint to those who esteem the stern
:" and incorporating assertion OF certain
SO tenets the one prominent Christian vir-
"a tue; but, while ambition, intrigue,
90 arrogance, rapacity and violence are pro-
" scribed as unchristian -barbarity,
persecution, bloodshed, as unholy and
!" unevangelic weaknesses, posterity will
&c condemn the orthodox Cyril as one OF
8. the worst of heretics against the spread
:. of the Gospel" And that is the view Of
him which the facts alone Justify. He be-
longed to period when the Church had
utterly forgotten and lost the spirit OF the

a law to fit the case, he can be meddled
with again. The law clearly ought to de-
fine the precise language which constitutes
an otfense, but until it can be amended
in this way there would seem to be
no law for Kearney's case. If he should
happen to abuse somebody in the pres
ence of that person, he might be prosecuted,
but that contingency is a remote one, and
the probability is that he will have to be
let alone. Having indicated his right of
free .vituperation, he would, if he were a
sensible man, restrain himself hereafter, and
thus show that though there was no law
to suppress him he had the decency to
recognize the properties of civilized life,
and the binding force of public opinion.
But we are not at all sure that Kearney has
breadth enough to take up such position.
His natural inclination will rather be to
repair to the Sandlots and there "get
even " with his opponents by abusing them.
In any event we are inclined to think that
his power has largely passed away from him.
The approach of the Presidential campaign
will tend to cement the breech in the Demo-
cratic ranks. The idea of a separate
Workingmen's ticket is of course prepos-
ferrous. There will be no special issues for
him to make capital out of, and it is ques-
tionable whether the best elements of his
party have not already abandoned it.
There will remain sand-lot crowd, and it
will doubtless be as coarse and turbulent
as ever, but we do not think that San
Francisco will have any further cause to
apprehend serious mischief from that fac
ton, and unless Kearney is nursed again
by the press as he was at the beginning of
his career, it is quite probable that he may
quietly sink out of sight
