The Episcopal Church has never done
much for the spiritual welfare of the De.
gro, but what it has done has been in a
perfectly catholic, and, therefore, logical
spirit. Decorous and dignified in its beau
tiful service, conservative in its pohty
and thoroughly orthodox in its creed,
it refuses 10 countenance a colored di-
vision OF the Church. In the words of
Bishop Wilmer, OF Alabama, it refuses to
consent TO any legislation looking 10 di-
viding men in social life by lines of
demarcation." If colored man or
woman becomes a member of that
Church IL must be on the same
conditions as those offered TO the white
man or woman-a confession OF faith "in
the Lord Jesus Christ" This is consistent
with the history of the Church of Christ
The Church OF Rome, the Greek Church
and the Anglican Church-the three
historic divisions of Christianity-have
never been any respecter OF persons. They
have proceeded upon the words
Of the apostle, that God made
all nations of men TO dwell together in
unity and in the bonds of peace. The
church Of Alexandria did not discrimi-
nate between the Jew, the Roman, the
Greek, the Copt or the negro, because the
theory OF Christianity i~ that God is the
Father over all; that at the last day
all are TO be judged alike, there
fore the opportunities of all for
salvation are to be alike. The
position taken by the Bishops of North
Carolina and Alabama yesterday az to the
negro is therefore both logical and catho-
lie, just and fair, and what every member
OF the Episcopal Church in the South had
right to expect from prelates who, above
all things, prefer to be right according to
the canons and history of the Church, of
which they are among the chief spiritual
guides and pastors.

WASHINGTON, October S.-The anti.
liquor-selling people of Washington are
making an aggressive fight against the
saloon-keepers OF the city with the object
of preventing the issuance of licenses the
coming year. They have brought forward
clause in the license regulations, which
provides that license shall not be granted
any person who has been convicted the
year preceding the application for such
license of violating any of the liquor laws

Chief Templar of the District submitted
to the commissioners a list of the
name of every saloon convicted the past

A NEGRO MAN
Bou.d over 20 the Criminal Court for n
Threatened Assault on n white
Woman.

The most important case on the Police
docket yesterday morning was that against
Ed Robinson, colored. in which he is
charged with carrying concealed weapons
and disorderly conduct. He was arrested
Friday, the next day after the occurrence,
but at his solicitation his ease was carried
over TO yesterday to allow time for sum
moning witnesses. 4 young white lady,
who is staying temporarily at Eagan's
grocery, corner Elliott and st. Martin
streets, appeared as prosecutor. Three
colored witnesses gave testimony yester-
day morning the substance of which was
that on Thursday evening after the storm
the young lady had occasion to go across
the street from the grocery, and it being
very dark, she asked a negro man whom
she knew to step across with her When
about half way across Ed Robinson called
| out TO her to stop, he wanted To speak to
her. She declined TO stop, when he in
sisted on her stopping, which she positive
| ly refused to do. Robinson started to-
ward her, commanding her to stop, when
the colored man advised him TO leave her
alone, as she did not want him to talk TO
her, whereupon Robinson drew a pistol

JACKSON. MISS.
The Pearl River Improvement Company
Land-Grant Case.

Special to the Appeal
JACKSON, MISS, October S.-The man
damus case of Foote district attorney, rs.
Myers, Secretary OF State, involving the
validity of the grant of land by the State
to the Pearl River Navigation and I'M
provement Company, was heard before
Judge Wharton to-day. f. d. Clark, Of
Nicksburg, represented the relator, and
the Attorney-General the Secretary of
State. After the argument the judge
granted the prayer of the petition, and
directed the issuance of peremptory
mandamus, the gist and meaning of which
is, that it declares null and void the said
land-grant 10 said company, and recog-
nizes that all the said land has reverted to
and belongs to the State. The case will be
appealed that the Supreme Court, which
may finally and conclusively settle the
question.

and demanded of him what he had to do
with it-he was addressing the lady, not
him. The man then turned to the lady
and advised her to return to the grocery,
which she started to do, when Robinson
threatened that if she did so he would
kill her. The lady's colored escort then
interfered and got into row with Robin
son. which the lady took advantage of to
return to the grocery. The lady did not
give her testimony yesterday morning,
but the above story is corroborated by her
story of the affair related to an APPEAL re-
porter afterward. Judge Hadden assessed
fine of $50 and costs against Robinson
for disorderly conduct, and bound him
over to the Criminal Court. Robinson is
very bright-colored mulatto, energetic
and industrious when sober; but trouble
some when drinking, which was. his con-
dition Thursday evening when the row oc-

A Commission Appointed by the Presi

WASHINGTON, October S.-The Secretary
of State, in behalf of the President, to-day
addressed a letter to the Commissioner OF
Agriculture stating that inasmuch as GER
tain foreign governments have charged
that the hog products ofthe United States
are affected with disease and not proper for
export purposes, the President has decided

vestigate the curing of pork in this
country, and has named as mem
bes of such commission the Hon.
G. B Loring, Prof. c. F. Chandler,
Eliphalet W. Blatchford, F. W. Curtis and
Prof. f. d. Salmon. The President states
that he has no authority to guarantee the
expenses of the commission, but has no
doubt that in view of the magnitude OF
the commercial interests involved, Con-
gress will meet all bills incurred for this
purpose. The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, as chairman OF the commission, is
directed to summon his associates and
proceed to work without delay.

worthy Hts Rank.
ROME, October S.-The Pope, in an allo-
cution upon receiving Il large number Of
Italian pilgrims in the basilica at st. Pc
ter's yesterday, said he rejoiced to wit
ness the concord existing between the
clergy and their flocks. The conspiracy Of
sects had reduced the Papacy to a cOndi-
ton unworthy its rank. Historical re-
searches have enabled me to prove that
the Papacy is no enemy to Italy, but that
it had always been actuated by sovereign
benevolence. True civilization derived from
Papacy increased vitality and strength
The real object OF the sectaries in depriv-
ing the Pope of temporal power was 10
strike a blow at the Chnrch and rob Italy
of the treasury of the faith. The recent
imperious demonstrations made this
manifest. Biasphemous voices have been
raised in Rome itself. To avoid the de-
struction of Catholicism, it behooves all
patriotic and religious forces to unite and
show themselves openly as Catholics, and
to desire, above all things, to restore the
Pope to that condition of liberty and in
dependence which is his due.
The Pope spoke for twenty minutes.
He looked very pale, almost cadaverous.
The audience numbered 10000.
