Swings appearance upon the Bench in this
case, on Mondav, evidences lack of tie
finer sensibilitips which the present genera.
ton would be likely to term gall"
The Gazette says: The Louisville &
Nashville combination hesitates to take up
the gage OF batke thrown down by the
Cincinnati Southern. The truth is. it is
not in condition to stand a protracted
fight, while tie Cincinnati road is. Mr..
Newcomb will probably hasten to make
overtures looking to a compromise. do
the colored members of the Methodist
Church demand or desire Bishop of their
own racer There is good deal of dema-
goguery IN the Church as there is in poli-
tics, and inepolitics we find colored men
olamorous for recognition, their objective
point being places for themselves. If
the lines are to be drawn in the
Church, where is the stopping place to
be foundp The Germans will demand q
Bishop; the Irish will demand Bishop,
and then sectional lines will be drawn, and
in the midst of all these clashing interests
the real demand of the Church might be
overlooked. 1t strikes us that the question
for the Conference to consider is not the
color line, or the nativity line, or the sec
tonal line, but what is best for the Church
at large. And in discussing this question
care should be taken to adhere closely to
fundamental princi iples-to the require
ments of the discipline. The best way to
avoid the color line is to ignore it, and the
way to ignore it is to treat colored men as
ii they were white men-to judge them by
their qualifications, and not by the color oi
their skin.
The German Papers.
The Volksfreund says: The Evansville
Union acts as If it did not believe in the
existence of the american Alliance" "
That is easily explained. The Evansville
Union, namely. is Republican paper.
The Volksblatt says: The decoration and
illumination of the city in honor of the
Musical Festival were not extraordinary
The nonsenscal talk that Sherman would
accept a nomination for the Vice Presi-
dencN has again been stirred up. OF course
there is no truth in the matter.
The Freie Presse says: President Hayes
has resolved to appoint Horace Maynard,
our AMBASSADOR at Constantinople, as sue
cessnr to Postmaster Key of the Cabinet.
TIE Democratic element will therefore be
no longer represented among the constitu-
tional advisers Of MIR. Hayes.
Yesterdays Abend Post says: The five
per cent. bonds of the City of Cincinnati
bring nearly three per cent. premium in
the money market, a showing that our
ciiys credit, in spite of the Southern Rail
road elephant, is good.
The Wahrheitsfreund says: The Grant
boom is once more sinking and seems at
present to cloud the prospects of the ex-
President. Still the anti-third termers
would do well not 10 let the agitation be-
come dormant The leaders of Grant,
Messrs Conkling, Cameron, Logan and
whatever else the chiefs are named, are
skillful men and would foist old Grant and
dictatorship upon the Republican party,
If they Are not closely watched. On the
Democratic side the prospects of Tilden are
getting more favorable and this can not be
denied. 1t is also being talked Of of nom-
mating Thurman, who will get the vote OF
Ohio for the Presidency, as the Vice Presi-
dental candidate. Such ticket would
undoubtedly gain strength and better Til
denis show.
