The Mount McGregOr Cottage.
L. G. Crawford, in New York World,


There has been good deal of talk about the
ownership of the Drexel cottage where Grant
died. Colonel Morgan, of New York, said yes
terday that lie understood that the cottage had
never been owned by Mr.. Drexel, and that it
was the property of the railroad company, who
had used 1t simply for the purpose of advertising
{. Mount McGregor. / asked Mr.. Drexel about this
yesterday. He said that he bought the cottage
some years ago, and that he bought certain
plot of ground to go with it. 1t had not been
possible to locate this lot, however, and acquire
title to it without first acquiring the consent
or the holders of mortgage bonds, which are a
lien upon the Mount McGregor property He
said that the final consent of the last man was
obtained yesterday, SO that the formal title to
what he has really owned for all this time will
be issued to him at once He proposes to give
this cottage to the United States, but he finds
that quite number of formaities will have to
be gone through before this can be done He
understands that he will have to obtain the con-
sent of the Legislature of this State before he
can surrender any portion Of the State to become
the property of the United States. The house
would not be desirable for any one to live in on
account OF the way it is besieged by the sight.
seers who come up the mountain. Several
mornings ago Colonel Fred Grant, when coming
out of his bed room upon the upper floor of the
cottage, encountered crowd of indefatigable
tourists who had entered the house without
knocking, and very thoroughly doing it.
The family have been, therefore, anxious to get
away in advance of the time first set for their
departure.

streator (Ill.) Special.
The brilliant but somewhat erratic career OF
the Rev. j. II. Shay pastor of the First Congre-
gatonal Church, of this city, will close next
Sunday. Mr. Shay has recently announced that
in consequence of growing but radical change
of opinion in matters theological he cannot
longer consistently remain the representative OF
any religious body protesting the evangelical
faith, and will not consent again to be the
preacher or pastor of any church His congre
CATION has issued a statement expressing intense
admiration of Mr. Shay, appreciation of his labors
and of the sentiments which compel HIM to leave
the pulpit, and regret at the severance OF the re-
lations between them and him.
Mr. Shaw is known in the East as one of the
two clergymen whom Illinois sent to the ecce-
siastical council which tried the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher in Brooklyn He was born in
Buffalo, and is forty years old. When he entered
the army at the outbreak of the rebellion he was
so iliterate that he could not write his own
name on the muster roll. Subsequently he OBJ
tained an education and became q congregra-
tional minister His orthodoxy was first ques-
toned in 1875, and upon an examination of his
views he became dissatisfied with his position
and began the practice of law. He returned to
the ministry two years later, coming to Streator
for the second time but his views finally led to
trial for r, heresy, and he was dropped from the
IUil OF the OvuVrol alton or Con yregatOnal
Ministers His church. however, stood by him,
and he leaves it of his own accord.
Mr. Shay believes, among other things, that
the ministerial Office is not one of Gods appoint
ment; that Christ was nearer to divinity than
other mortals;" that there is God, though all
that may be predicated concerning Him lacks
the essential element of proof" and that the
Bible is a record of Gods thoughts and ways in
so far as it is record of the results of mans ap
pication of the powers under his control"
1.-The church and minister of the future" he
says, must occupy the relation of school and
teacher for instruction in matters concerning
which some evidence can be advanced or some
self conscious knowledge gained"

It was more money than he knew just what to

A Groom Who Wept at the Altar.

AHsUula ICOHIJ Sent1neI.
At a recent church wedding in East Bridge
port it was noticed that as the bridal party
passed up the aisle the groom was nervous to the
point of generalization. The BRIDE on the con-
trary, was serene, demurely modest, graceful
and bewitching-in short, everything that
bride should be. The groom managed to retain
his composure until it came to the passage
where he obligated himself to 'love, cherish,
protect" etc, when his strained emotions pro-
duced collapse, which found vent in hysterical
sobs Naturally there was q sensation in the
congregation and some connection among the
bridal party, but the weeping groom was speed
lily soothed into composure and the ceremony
proceeded to a conclusion without serious inter
ruption.

make any State solid. 1t has never admitted
stufing ballot boxes, and then deprecatingly
pleaded thatit she uld not be done again except
in cases OF extreme necessity" All these
things and many more equally atrocious have
been done in behalf of the 'tsolid South" and
the bloody shirt The Republican party has
no apology to offer for persisting in the old
time belief that the North was right and the
South was wrong. 1t believes that treason is
just as odious to-day as it was in 1861, and
that it is infamous to attempt to canon;ze un
repentant rebels. 1t has no enmity
for ex-rebels as individuals, and
no hostility to the South. It is only against
the very grave offense of first slurring over
treason and afterward presuming to exalt it.
For the South and Southern men the North
has only the kindhest feeling, and the wish is
universal in the North that that part of the
Union may flourish and grow rich, and that
its people may learn to forget to love those
ideas which have cost the country so much.
Each and every one of the counts made above
is too well known to need verifcation. Such
as have not been proclaimed have been con-
fessed. Out of them the bloody shirt is per-
petuated The North has conceded every
thing, the old South nothing. The North
would forget all else save that We have one
country, one people; the old South will not
permit it. Already the threat has been made
in Virginia that the Danville business may
have to be repeated, if the eolored men en-
danger the chance of Democracy carrying the
State. The bloody shirt will not down, be-
| cause the old South will not have it so.

1T is moonshine and twaddle, scarcely worth
replying to, to charge that because the Re-
publican party adheres to the principles upon
which it conducted the great war of the Re.
bellion to successful issue, that therefore it
is incapacitated from undertaking any and all
needed administrative reforms" The onlv
answer needed to such puerile sheer is to cite
the fact that it was the Republican party that
brought the country to specie basis, DESPITE
the solid opposition of the Democratic partv
and the opposition Of considerable portion of
its own members 1t was the Republican
party that took up and carried forward the
civil-service reform, so far asst has progressed.
in the face of a like opposition 1t is the Re
publican party that has done all that has been
done in the way of reimbursement of the
tariff. Indeed, every vital question of gov
eminent that has been treated affil mativelv
during the past quarter of a century has been
treated by the Republican party. This its
critics know as we'll as they know anything.
1t no more follows that the Republican party
is unable to grapple other problems of admin
istraton, or to keep pace with the progress Of
the country because it does not see fit TO
forget or ignore the great and grand principles
and achievements of the past thirty years,
than that the Christian church is not fitted to
solve the moral and religious problems now
confronting it because it adheres to the Old
doctrine of the atonement. There is nothing
more silly or specious than the cant about
the Republican party not having its "face to
the front" because it refuses to sanction the
murderous frauds upon which the Democratic
party is founded.

THE Republicans of Indiana will indorse
John Sherman's speech. Their Republican
ism is of a character that does not suggest the
necessity of an apology for saying that

half masted on the death of such a contempti-
BILE scoundrel and traitor as Jacob Thomson.

A NATIONAL campaign can never be sue
cessfully conducted On the question of what
particular ten thousand people shall fill the
Offices, or whether the duty on asafotida shall
be left on or taken off. That basis is alto
gether too narrow to absorb the attention and
enlist the heart and brain Of a Nation Of sixty
millions Of people. These are very important
questions, but the party that builds upon
them and nothing else, will find that it has
put its pyramid on the apex There must be
some moral and fundamental issue in politics,
orthere is too little difference between parties
to make it of much moment which succeeds.
The success of the Republican party for a
quarter of century was because it appealed
to the conscience and heart Of the Nation with
an issue that commanded attention. If there
be any philosophy in the defeat last fall, it is
that the result came because the party had
wearied of its high purpose, and descended to
the level of lower things. AS the Iowa Re-
publicans we'll say, no issue can be said to be
settled until it is settled right; and any one
who knows the history of the present time
knows that the issue Of manhood suffrage is
not settled. It is cowardly for the Reputlcan
paIty ~ uuanuon IT, or to be afraid to speak
for it, because few craven spirits are tired
of the conflict, and wo-lld purchase peace and
rest at the price of dishonor. 1t is not "bit-
terness" nor 'bloody shirt to stand by a
principle that was at the bottom of a conflict
OF half century before the war, of the war
itself, and of twenty years after the war,
when that principle is imperiled. Every man
in the country knows, and every Republican,
at least, should never forget, that the success
OF the Democratic party is built upon solid
South solidifed by murder, intimidation and
fraud-a sectionalism that is as dangerous to
the future peace and prosperity of free gov
eminent now as it was in the days when the
ku-klux and the assassins of Coushatta rode
over the South, pushing the blacks into the
pit from which they have not yet been resur-
rected. The solid South, solid upon the prin.
ciples out of which the Rebellion grew is
graver danger to the Nation than the differ
ences between Aquilla Jones and four mug
wumps, or the tariff controversy between
"Bill' Morrison and 'Saln' Randall.
