an tho disscntcrs Of Scotland, although he

will thus be seen that Mr. GLADSTONE has a
delicate and difficult problem to solve in order
to avoid political enmities. and enemies. AT
present. it would appear, from the reporis
which are most current in the kingdom,
that he has about decided TO ap-
point the bishop of Durham to the hon
orablc and important see of Canterbury. Dr.
LIGHTFooT is a broad churchman of eminent
picty and great learning. AS n commentator
upon the scriptures, particularly of the New
Testament, he has attained eminencc, not
| only in his own country and in this, but
throughout the continent of Europe as, well.
For profundity of thought elegance of dictiom'
and fOrCofulness of expression he is regarded
by many rs the best religious writer Of tho
present age. His elevation would receive the
sanction and plaudits of scholars everywhere
Having published book upon the subject of
apostolic succession, in which that favorite
dogma Of the church was denied, he would be
most acceptable man to the enonconformistsan and
dssentcrs, while his conservative manner
and friendly relations with the leaders 0f the
established church would tend to render him.
if not acceptable, certainly not Objectionable
to a majority of the churchmcn. In his selcc-
! tion it is hoped that. Mr.. GLADsToNEmay
relieve himself of his present dilemma, and at
the same time secure to the church an able
and commcndable prmate.

The accounts of the building commission
under whose supervision the National mu-
scum, near the Smithsonian institution, was
erected have recently been completed and
audited by the secretary of tho commission,
over and above the appropriation made by
congress has been deposited in the treasury.
1t is rarely that public building is con-
structed at a less cost than the appropriations
and the fact that there was balance in this
instance speaks well for the economy and care
which tho commission exercised during the
progress OF the work, The commission con
sisted of Con. sherman, Prof Baird, the
directors Of the Smithsonian institution, aud

lIaIlIliIlg's Conscience.
Philadelphia Press.

Manning, of Mississippi, to whom the gov
ernor of that state has kindly offered n certif-
cate for the seat in congress to which James
Il. Chalmers was recently elected, is in some
doubt as to what course he will pursue in the
matter, and isn't sure whether he will accept
the certificate or reject it. He declares, how
ever, that he will obey his conscience, and
when a bourbon statesman sits down and
waits orders from that quarter it is safe to
offer odds that he is going to have long

EVERY democratic and deputy democratic
newspaper in the land was engaged for six
months in laboring to convince government
employees that the republican committee
would have them removed if they did not
givo money in response to the contribution
circulars. From no other source was there
any such talk or action. This created such
an alarm that, as the President said in his
message, contributions were at times obtained
from persons whose only motive for giving
was the fear of what might bclall them if
they refused.

If congress be unwilling to allow the people

then the power which tho constitution con-

The yVasGhvyori.


The cry of eXtravagance raised against
the present congress had something to do
with the republican defeat in October and
November. Shrewd party policy now requires
a reduction of appropriations to the lowest
possible level before the democrats come into
control of the house. Let the government be
put at this session upon an extremely oconom-
ical plane of expenditures and half of the
democratic thunder will DO stolen.

Boys who have been convicted of crime, or
who have been inmates of refOrmatories, can
not be enlisted, nor will boys be accepted who
cannot be controllt d at home and whose
parents want to have them disciplined. The
object is to secure u class of good and descrv-
ing boys who will elevate the standard of the
naval service and make the navy more trust
worthy as an arm of the national defense.
The naval apprentices are paid at the rate OF
50. q month on first enlisting. This is in
creased from time to time, according to pro-
ticicncy and aptitude for the service, to S2l50
a month. In addition to this the boys receive
one ration, by which is meant their daily
board, consisting of Il plentiful and whole
some supply of food. After an apprentices at
tains his majority he is eligible tothc position
of warrant officer, as vacancies occur in that
grade, with yearly salary Of from 81 200 to
81, 500. Candidates may present themselves
for enlistment from 10 q. m, to p. N. daily,
Sundays and legal holidays excepted. To Sc
cure dispatch aud avoid unnecessary CORE
spondence it is desirable, if ut all practicable
that candidates be accompanied by thoiI
parents or legally appointed guardians, The
latter will be required to file either the or.
iginal or certified copy of their letters Of
guardianship in the recruiting office for the
records of the vessel.

OUR esteemed morning contemporary says
that "Senator LOGAN has an undoubted right
to hold on to an opinion against any amount
of evidence" Very true, indeed, as to the
right to hold an opinion, but very wrong as to
the insinuntiOn that it is against an amount of
evidence. Gen. LOGAN has carefully studied
tho entire campaign from lIanison's landing,
in July, to the second battle of Bull Run, Au-
gust 1880, 1862, and his opinion is the result
of acquired knowledge, II is true that tho
mannerisms aud orders of Gen. PORE were in
sultng and exasperating to the gentlemen
generals who shared the fortunes and disasters
of the Peninsula campaign under MCCLELLAN
1t Is also true that Gen. POPE, fresh from the
successes of his New Madrid campaign in Mis-
souri, was sclf-conceited and boorish. But
these faults magniied ten thousand fold, can
not be urged us an excuse for the malicious

The documents filed show the election of

tificatcs from the secretary of state of Mis-
sissippi who is the only certifying officer as
to congressional elections in that state. If
the secretary of state gives MANNING Il
certificate declaring him elected aud gives
CHALMERS Il certificate showing the actual
returns before him on which the declaration is
made, the clerk ofthc house must consider both
and if the two certificates taken together
leave him in doubt, he should not put either
on the roll but refer the prima iace cases to
congress. If the two certificates show clearly
that CHALMERS is elected he should be put on
the roll. Thcgovernor, under the laws of Mis-
