B The pamphlet concludes with the informa-
ton, that Guiteau's bullet put an end to Mr..
Biaine''s projects, and consequently his third
idea OF convoking an American International
congress was never contaminated.
From this synopsis of the contents of that
pamphlet no one can question Maj. Morgan's
admiration for Mr.. Blaiue: nor is IL less
doubtful that he hoped for Mr.. Blaiue's Pres
Dental success, as tho pamphlet appeared
after Mr.. Blaiue's nomination. We, therefore
must conclude the author a Republican. If
no asserts the contrary and claims to be n
Democrat, 1t is a chastity to say, under the
circumstances, he is a political fool, unfit to
represent a Democratic Administration any
where or in any capacity.
NIT. Bayard, | presume. submitted this APP
pointment to Mr.. Cleveland for his approval.
Ii he did so, cogu,zant of the existence of that
pamphlet, in thit. instance, he has BETRAYED
his trust. If he was Ignorant of the facts
above recited, he was imposed upon. Who
is responsible tor the imposition {? View the
matter ms we may, it is difficult to avoid sus-
pfcion of unfair sud false representation and
downright betrayal of the Democracy of South
Carolina in this appointment. Like every
other bitter experience it suggests it's own
moral. Very respectfully,

An informal meeting of the eongrega-
ton was held on the spot, and 1t was
agreed that Fred. Douglass should be re-
questctl to relinquish his right to hold a
pew in the church. Otherwise the con-
creation would secede.
1t is alleged that Douglass on a pre-
vio"s occasionalmost ruined the Church
by Il lecture which he was permitted to
deliver from the pulpit, and therefore he
was runSiirrrd III Improbable member.
For u time excitement ran high and
the scene was intensely dramatic.
|, Is said that Douglass reted the pew
through II personal friend, and that his
idea is t" establish " friendly relation

church, and by that means retain his

THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION.

The convention of the Episcopal
Church for this Diocese. was held in Co.
lumbia last week. The question of alb
sorbing interest before it was, the ad-
mission of the colorcd clergymcn. The
matter was ably fought, the clergy "a
Soring the admission, the laity oppos-
ing L. The decision of the question
failed from Inconvenience of orders,
"a majority Of the lay vote being on
n side and a majority Of the clerical
vote being on the other. The subicc,
is left in statu quo, to GENE at next
Convention.
It seems to us this wal most unwise.
and involves more than the question of
Church government. We have not the
slightest disposition to deprive the COL
bred man OF any of bis religious or po-
Iitical rights. But he has every oppor-
tunity to exercise them freely. and we
believe he should do SO within his "
organizations. It is q breaking down Of
the barriers Of social separation.
Wisdom and feeling and "race instinct,
as Grady calls it, forl.i,'ss us to admit
them upon terms Of perfect equality in
our churches. They have their separate
churches and prefer them. They have
their Priests, let them organize the:roxn
Conventions. Why should they seek
admission into ours ? Nearly every
other denomination, except perhaps the
Catholic, has formed for them separate
and distinct church organizations, and
the negroes are satisfied, and even pre-
Ter that arrangement.
We do not care to discuss tho action
of Bishop Howe and his followers
among the clergy. We believe it will
work harm to the Church in this do
cese, and DO an ever fostering sore, and
eternal cause of ~disscnsion.

is the programme of tho Medium,

tious General, the Medium when it al
vances, always fortifics its provision

Sensible, Wise, Practical Remarks
Read and Inwardly Digest.

To The MEssKNGER.-The discussion
Of the Cumberland Gap Road has been
well nigh exhausted, and any thing that
may be said now will be but repetition.
We hardly think We can add any force
to the reasons for making an effort to
obtain the rond. But there are misrcp-
RESERVATIONS and errors OF the part of
the opposition that ought not to pass un-
corrected.
The Mcdium in its issue Of May 7th,
says:
'Tf Schofsld is correct i, will cost
$~2O5,5l6.9G to build the road to the
town Of Due West, ut the estimate of
$~la,Gs3.36 per mile.' No such estimate
was ever made for building the road to
Due West. The Medium has %intclli-
gence enough to know that this is a
plain Misrepresentation and an untrue
inference from the 'facts and figures"
The Medium must know that it is de-
ceiving the people by n pcrvcrsion of
fact when it represents to them that it
will cost over $4,000 per mile to build
the road over the comparatively level
country from Abbeville to Due West,
according to Schofcld's estimate. The
Aedium knows that this estimate is the
average per mile Of the whole road en-
bracing perhaps 60 miles Of mountain
work. The South Carolina division in
Guiding the Blue Ridge to it's apex at
Estatoc gap. Some sections Of which
the writer can speak from practical OBJ
~servation when he says; to the nnSkill-
edeye in engineering, it looks as if it
were impossible for a black snake to
pass yer Is it fair for. the Acdium to
try to make the people Of Abbcvillc be-
icvc, by way Of discouraging them in
the enterprise, thatsit will cost as much
to build the road over the favorable
country from Abbeville to Due West,
rs across the mountains?
Again, the Medium says From
Troy to Abbevillc according to
Schofield, it will take $18,6s3.36 per
mile on an average to build aud equip
the Cumberland Gap Roa'i Troy has
voted about $4,000 for the road and will
be able to complete 1-6 Of n mile"
Now this is i]nexcusablc ignorance or a
practiced deception on the part Of the
-Hcdium. Because the figures of both
are before its eyes as to the cost Of this
section Of the road. In the report, of
the chief engineer and superintendent
of the road, Of the work done to May

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

Hon. ]. X. Watson, who so ably
and faithfully represented Alturas
county in tho last Legislature, is an
applicant Tor the Office OF United
States Marshal of Idaho. He did not
care for the Office, when first urged
to apply for it; but having fnally
yielded to the solicitations of his
friends, he intends to secure the ap-
pointment, if possible.
Captain Watson has been lifelong
Democrat; he is miner, and an in
dustrious, honorable, capable man,
who would fill any Office with credit.
His efficient services to the people in
the past ars the best guarantee Of
this. .
1t il stated that citizen of Lewis.
ton is an applicant for the same posi-
ton. While, this being free coun.
try, the man is at liberty to strive for
any official position in the Union, we
cannot sec that this citizen has any
claims whatever upon the people of
Idaho. North Idaho, it is we'll known
has done its level best, for many
years, to sever all connection with
this Territory and to secure annexa-
tion to Washington. TO give North
Idaho an Office is therefore like Civ
ing it to Washington Territory.
1t is to be hoped that Hon. John
HALEY, our Delegate in Congress,
will see the force of this argument,
and will be able to act accordingly.
