against which he expressed thankfulness
that the Virginia diocese has been hitherto
50 well guarded by loyalty to written law
and custom. His address had special ref
erence to the proposed change in the book
of common prayer. He cited various
changes from the common order of the
church, which he gave it as his opinion
were not for the edifcation of the people,
and in his Judgment unlawful, as tending
to draw the people away from the old
paths ~ which the church had walked safe
ly and prosperously for many years. The
venerable bishop thus exhibited non-pro-
gressive spirit not in keeping with the needs
and spirit of the day. Evidently he
breathes only the atmosphere of the long
gone past, and is unable or unwilling to
grasp the benefits which the proposed
changes offer, without admitting that it is
not contemplated to abandon any portion
of the old paths that ever have been and
still may be resources of instruction or
guidance. To say that the bishop has
quite outgrown the period of his usefulness
is charitable construction to place upon
his opposition to the needs and highest
good of the church. Such counsel should
not prevail.

Ingersoll resumed his address to the Jury
in the star route case this morning. The
apparent inconsistencies in Rerdelrs de-
scription of Dorsey's letter appealing to
Rerdell to be faithful to him were pointed

RerdelPs testimony was proof in itself that

ment of justice. While he was doing that
he was borrowing money from his CO.
defendant, Vaile-borrowing money to
buy bread to support him while he tried
to swear his co-defendants into the psni-
Tertiary. The government knew what he
was doing. That was beyond
denial. How he hated and abhorred
this informer system. Every act of the
government should be a flower springing
from the heart of honor. The govern
ment should be incapable of deceit. The
department of justice should blow from
the scales even the dust of prejudice. Rep
resenting supreme power it should disdain
subterfuge as confession of weakness
Behind every pretense lurked cowardice.
The government should be the incarna-
ton of candor, of courage, of confidence.
That was his idea of great and noble
government. The court adjourned at this
point in the address.

The movement to hold national con-
vention of the colored men of the United
States is meeting with much opposition
from colored men themselves. The OBJ
iect of the movement is to take action in
behalf of the political interests of the col
ored people. Fred Douglass is leader in
the matter, and from this fact doubtless
arises much, if not all of the opposition to
the convention. Able as he is, Douglass
has never enjoyed the confidence of the
colored people, and has never been infuen-
tial among them. His associa-
tons have been chiefly
with his white brothers, and his impress
sions upon them have been large and far
reaching, or rather were in the anti
slavery, ante-bellum days. Mr.. Douglass
belongs to a school of agitators, his mental
forces are aggressive and imperious, but he
lacks the magnetism and tact for popular
leader, and for this reason has never
acquired leadership among his own coun-
trymen. The call for the convention
spoken of was an ambitious creation. of
his, and has produced a permanent rupture
among the representative colored men,
who do not believe that the project was
instituted to improve the political condi-
ton of that people, but to promote the
aspirations of Douglass and a few others.
1t is perfectly apparent that no good to
the colored people at large can come out
of it.

ST.. LOUIS, May 22.-The strike among

places on the Missouri Pacific railroad, in
the Choctaw nation, which has been a seri-
Gus inconvenience to the railroads and a
number of towns in Northern Texas, which
obtain their coal from these mines, seems
to be in fair way of settlement. These
miners can only remain in the territory by
obtaining permits from the Indian authori-
ties. Without these permits they can be
expelled from the country as ''intruders.' -
This being explained to the miners, large
number of them have signed an agreement
to resume work, and probably all except
the ring leaders of the strike will return.
The latter will no doubt be refused per-
mits, and be required to leave the terri
tory.
