The New York Tribune tells us that the
officers Of a certain church in that city
have been soliciting the opinions of promi-
nent members of the congregation upon the
desirability of introducing iturgical servi-
ces. Some of the answers are quaint. One
gentleman writes that he does not object to
standing that all hands shall 60 in. ''But
if it is only going to be chirp or two
here and there, it will only be ridiculous,
and you can count me out'' A lady writes
that she does not understand exactly what
is meant by responsive service, but if it
means that she has got to keep saying she
is miserable sinner" during the prayer

DEATH OF THE It'll DUKE OF MARLBO-
RoUeH--The Right Hon. John Winston
Spencer Churchill, seventh Duke Of MARI
borough, died of cardiac syncope last
Thursday. His death was very sudden.
His grace was slightly indisposed Wednes-
day, but dined with his family at the usual
hour, and retired to bed usually well. He
was found dead On the floor of his room
Thursday morning. His features were calm.
The Baltimore Sun says he will be missed
more by the Church than the State. His
wealth and family position necessarily
forced him into political prominence, and
he was lord lieutenant of Ireland from JAN
uary 1877 to 1880, besides being lord stew
ard of the royal household in 1866 and lord
president of the council under Mr.. Disraeli
from March, 1867, to December, 1868. But
it is said of him that he always subordinat-
ed his interest in politics to his ecclesias-
tical zeal. He was prominent in all low
church associations, and gave his money
without stint for religious and charitable
enterprises. Nevertheless, he was a hard
landlord, and ruled his tenants with a rod
of iron. His eldest son and heir, hitherto
known as the Marquis Of Blandford, is a
spendthrift, and as long ago as 1876 the
late Duke was forced to begin to raise
money to pay off his sons debts.

AS to the removal, or failure to reap

We suppose the Firgiaian expresses the
sentiments and predicament of the Presi-
dent who probably doubted the policy
and could not see the justice of it." but
possessed no power to prevent it," under
his agreement with Malone, in whose favor
he seems to have abdicated his power to
make appointments in this State; and Ma
hone puts out and puts in Office persons al
will to suit his own individual pleasure OF
selfish purposes. The Republican party is
now the Sinbad that has the sold man of
the Sea- upon its shoulders. Malone will
ride it to it's death. He will not only rule on
ruin, Dui he will rule and ruin; for, like his
distinguished prototype, he ''would rather
rule in he'll than serve in Heaven" In poll
tics, he has neither principles nor scruples. II
is reported of him, that when asked his
politics, he replied: "Politics, HE'LL have
no politics; policy is my politics"
That profane and laconic reply furnishes
the key to his political character. "Policy
is his politics." and his 'policy" is that
which will add to his power to revenge him
self upon those, of whatever political faith,
who refuse to bow down at his feet and
servilely do his bidding. Upon what meat
d 9th this little would-be Caesar feed that he
hath grown so great? He seems to imagine
that others were born with saddles upon
their backs, and that he was born with
boots and spurs to ride them. He has been
riding the Republican party for some time
at furious speed, and, though of small
weight, ''the CALLED jade begins to vince, -
and think its life requires that it should get
rid OF its rider that has ridden it so hard and
given it so little provender.

As we have heretofore announced, says
the Lynchburg Virginian, we think that
the platform adopted by the Ohio Democ-
racy, so far as relates to the tariff question,
is one that every Democrat in the country
should be willing to stand upon. We re-
publish it for the inform alton of our read
ers:
cWe favor a tariff for revenue limited to
the necessities of Government economical
ly administered, and SO adjusted in its ap-
plication as to prevent unequal burdens,
encourage productive interests at home,
and afford just compensation to labor, but
not to create or foster monopolies."
Now, what could be better than that
Does anybody want more revenue from a
tariff than the Government needs for its
own support, the gradual payment of the
pnblic debt, and pensions allowed to it's
soldiers? Who would have the temerity
to demand more, to serve as corruption
fund, and to build up bloated monopolies ?
And, can anybody object to having the
tariff $50 adjusted in its application as to
prevent unequal burdens?" Or, will they
say that it shall not be SO adjusted as to
encourage productive interests at home,
and afford just compensation to labor"
rather than ''to create or foster monopolies? ''
We should like to see the man who, pre-
tending to be in favor of fostering American
industry, without buildingup "monopolies, y
TO grind labor, and crush out the liberties
of the people, would dare raise his voice
against this platform of the Ohio Democrats.
1t seems to us that even free-trader in
principle, approaching the present and
prospective necessities of the Government
in the matter of revenue, could not object
to the Ohio platform; for all such should
know that, whether they like the principle
| in the abstract, or not, protection" must
be an incident Of our revenue system fol
years and years to come; and it will be time
enough to talk about free trade when we
shall be in condition to adopt it, without
unfolding another system that is an abom.
ination to the American people-that Of
internal revenue. We want tariff high
enough,-but never to the point OF prohibi-
tion-to defeat the constitutional end of a
tariff,-to meet all "the necessities of a
Government economically administered, .
as the Ohio platform declares, and would
blct out the whole internal revenue system
at the earliest practicable moment. That il
our position; and it ought to be the position
of every Democrat, and patriot IN the coun
try.

The preparations for the opening of the South

IL be hoped that the railroad companies will
lnake early arrangements to carry passengers TO
and from the Exposition at reduced rates This
course, We think, will be to the pecuniary inter
I'll of the companies it will certainly contribute
largely To the success of the Exposition.
One OF the good fruits expected of the Expo
s.;ion is that flowing from comminging ol
Northern and Southern people Both the South
s,n people and Southern resources are vel too
3,,te understood outside of the South. What
NorthcIn visitors to the Atlanta Exposition saw

opinion OF that part of the country The same
will he true OF those who go to Louisville, and
the more that go Tie greater will be the advan-
tages gained. This end will be flrthered by
