THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
An Artificial and Cumbersome Estsblish-
ment Standing Upon By-Gone Ages.

An Artificial and Cumbersome Estsblish-
mcnt Standing Upon By-Gone Ages.
The different Nonconformist church
es, the Salvation Army and other relig-
ious movements are having a great in
fiuence in England. The signs of the
times indicate that the day is not dis
associated in that country. The Lon
don Mail sounds the following warning
to the Church of England: "There is
no church, there is no government,
there is no institution in the world that
so little adapts its means to its ends, it's
resources to work, its men to its posi-
tons, as the Church of England. The
fact is proved, the want supplied and
the evil mitigated by the surrounding
atmosphere of nonconformity, every
where pressing in to fill the void. Al
ways and everywhere there are to be
found those who will reap harvest of
souls wherever it may offer itself. The
kingdom of grace has a spontaneous
development, which ever supplies the
shortcomings of human government
and administration. No Bishop, how
ever exalted, no theologian, however
narrow or however Quixotic, can deny,
even upon his own theories, divine or
igin and order to the self-denying zeal
of the men who do their best, by the
simplest means at hand, to raise the
surrounding tone of morality and relig-
ion, to rebuke vice and to encour-
age the virtues that all alike
recognize, even if they practice
them not. The good work
to be done is as plain and universal as
the sun in the heavens. The school
and the field of true faith is all the
prohibitions. An artificial and cum
bersome establishment, standing upon
by-gone ages, and inheriting innumera-
BILE anomalies, hindrances and scandals,
may be too sacred thing to be rudely
handled. But it cannot cover the
ground nor reap the harvest. Part
indeed, the greater part-must be left
to those who, if less privileged, are less
trammeled, and who have the power,
not of authority, but of freedom. In
such case there must be some Jar
ring, some antagonism. How shall it
be cured? How shall the established
church acquire for itself that full lib
erty of action which it sees continually
employed against it? It must conde-
scend to gather all the lessons it can
from the organizations and tactics of
those whom it only too naturally re-
CARDS as it's rivals, If not foes How do
they get possession of the ground? How
do they advance everywhere, and hold
the ground they win? They do it by
the use of common sense. That is
what the Church of England will have
to submit to. The ministry-that is,
the entire system of employment in the
service of the Church of England, will
have to be adapted to the work every
where to be done, unless the church is
to find itself one day the shadow of a
great name.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

Two very important decisions were
rendered by the United States Supreme
Court on the 9Th inst.
The caso Of John Elliott ct al.
against the Governor, Auditor and
Treasurer Of Louisiana, was brought
to compel the State officers of IIouisi-
ana to apply to tho payment of the ip-
tcrcst and principal Of tho consolidated
bonds of the State Of 1874, all money
derived from tax levied to pay such
bonds by an Act Of 1874, and to COLI
tinuc to levy and collect said tax and
make such application of it until such
bonds shall be fully discharged. The
Supreme Court decided, first, that the
constitution Of Louisiana took away
the power Of the executive officers Of
that State to levy and apply this tax in
accordance with the Act Of 1874; Sec
ond, the officers of The State owe their
duties to thc State alouc, and that they
have no contract relations with tho
bondloldcrs--thoy can only act as the
State directs them to net, and hold as
the State allows them to hold. Tho
relief prayed for was therefore denied
The opinion Of the court was delivered
by Chief Justice Waite.
Il decision was also rendered in tho
case o. the States Of New Hampshire
and New York against the State of
Louisiana. The Court held that the
States as plaintiffs were nominal par
ties and that one State cannot sue an
other State for the purpose of cuforc-
ing the claims Of its citizens, even if it
has bought those claims. Both cases
wcro argued with great ability and
cloqucncc on both sides, ex-senator
Conkling and David Dudley Field an
pearing for New York and New Hamp-
shire, and the venerable Judge Camp
bell ior tho State of Louisiana. The
veteran counsel for tho State, defend
ant, made an argument Of such power
anu learning that it was commented
upon at tho time rs one of tho finest
that had eyer been made at tho bar of
the Supreme Court.
The decisions above alluded to are
OF the utmost importance to the whole
country, and decide the most difficult
ana complicated problems Of constitu
'Ional law. The opinions are based upon
inc so''ndcst principals of law, and re-
'lect honor,upon the national judiciary.

ExTRADIrION or suERIDAN.

IGng1and demands of the United
Statos the surrender of p. j. Sheridan
the editor of the Irish World. lie is
suspected Of completely with tho mur-
dcrcr of Lord Cavcndsh and Under
Secretary Burke in Phoenix Park,
Dublin. 1t is not known as yet whcth-
CT there is. any evidence agaipst Mr..
Sheridan further than mere suspicion,
based upon his known sympathy with
Ireland and her cause.
Being II citizen Of the United States
under the protection Of her laws. it is
anattcr entirely in the discretion Of the
Government whether or mol be will be
given over to the custody of the Eng
lish authorities. 1t is therefore n
question of no little moment what is
tho duty of the Government under the
circumstances of this case. If he has
been guilty either rs principal or rs
accessory in the murder Of Cavcndish
and Burke, ii is clearly the duty Of the
Government to surrender him to the
English authorities, there to be dealt
with according the laws Of the country
where the crime was committed. The
principle just cnunciatcd is so plain
and appeals SO cloqucntly and forciblv
to ones sense of justice, that it will
scarcely be denied by any one. Tho
PhGnix Park tragedy was SO harrow
ing and hcartrcntting in its details that
it shocked the nerves OF the civilized
world; and particularly, therefore, in
this case the Government cannot afford
to throw around their murtlcrcrs the
protecting shield Of her power and
dignity. But before such action on
the part Of the Government would he
warrantablc, II strong prima .1ncic
should be made out against the party
| charged, and whose rendition is sought
at the bar Of his country. If the charge
against Mr.. Sheridan rests solely upon
suspicion, and if his sympathy with
Ireland has given rise TO chat suspicion,
1t is equally the duty Of the Govern
mcnt to spurn with contempt and dis
dain the naughty dcmana Of Great
Bri1ain. For, according to our way Of
thinking, on this side Of the Atlantic,
it is no crime in Mr.. Sheridan to hold
to the tcncts Of the Irish Land League.
They may be right or wrong, but
England is at least responsible for the
ncccsSHy Of their existence. Ireland has
bcen writhing inagony under the long,
continued and systematic oppression
of England, we might almost say for
centuries. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that the flower and the chivalry
OF that PROSTATE country shoull at last
become desperate and rise in their
might against tho institutions of a
country that tyranny has taught them
to dcspise. If the mur,lor Of Lord
Cavcndish and Burke therefore grew
out of tho political condition Of Ire
land, and it is only in this way that
Mr.. Sheridan can be implicated in the
crime, England and England alone
should shoulder the responsibility. and
he should be allowed to remain undis-
turbcd in the editorial s"nctum of the
IriSh JVOn0.
