SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER has always
boasted that he had the support of the ex-
Confederate soldier element in his portion
of the State. And yet, on Wednesday last
he, by his one vote, defeated an amendment
for the repeal Of tho statute which prohibits
ex-Confederates from holding commissions
in the U. S. army, and that, too, although he,
himself though now holding commission
% u. S. Senator, is an eX-Contederate.
Gen. Malone did precisely the same thing on
previous occasion, but, regaining hissenses,
voted for the repeal last Wednesday. Why
his colleague should have voted against it,
that s, if he be still possessed Of sound sense,
passes ordinary comprehension. Even the
republicans in the Senate. who now know
him, were surprised that he should have
made such an open attempt TO disgrace
cause in which he had served as long as it
existed.

ALEX AND-RlA,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 9.

SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER created another
scene in the Senate yesterday evening ne
would, singly and alone, with silly persist
ency, insist upon calling up his resolution
to consider nominations in open session. 10
the DELAY of more important business an"
as, by the operation of the rule requiring
unanimous consent, he was enabled to pre-
vent the consideration of Mr.. Frye's hsneFlcs
resolution, the latter gentleman ceased con-
tending for that order of business, remarklng
that there was no use for contention, as 1t
only prolonged the performance" lie
couldn't have used more appropriate
word; but "the gamo cock of the valley :
crowed the louder in Directing to his
sceances in the Senate being designated
Performances. There is one consolatory
thing about Mr.. Riddleberger's perform
snces" in the Senate: They have become IN
finitely more Objectionable to his republican
colleagues than to the democrats.

A SAD BEREAVEMENT.

Death of George Bliss Rogers of Ty-
 phofd Fever at Cambridge, Mass,
 Last Night.
 The sad intelligence was received late last evening in this city that MT. George BLISS Roeers died at his home in Cambridge, Mass, at o'clock last evening. Friends ln this city had been aware that MT. Rogers was i'll with typhoid fever, but the sad news came as shock, hope having been entertained of his recovery owing to his natural vigor of constitution. January 26th last MT. Rogers was married to Miss Emile E.. Trowbridge, younger daughter of MT. and Mrs. Thomas R. Trowbridge. The event was one ot the most brilliant weddings that had occurred m this city in years, owing to the wealth and social position of the family of the bride and the popularity and social position of the groom, who was captain of the fa- nous winning crew of 80 at Yale and young man of high character and worth. The blow falls with prostrating ef- feet upon the bride of month and she has the deepest sympathy of a host of loving friends in her sad bereavement. The death of Mir Rogers will be deplored by Yale men throughout the country. warm personal friend of the deceased said as follows con cernipg him: "I knew MT. Rogers well and the sad news is terrible to learn. He was idolized at Yale for his manly and noble qualities and as the leader of the Yale crew to victory in two successive years, 'SO and 'S1-the only man that had thus distinguish ed Yale since Wilbur Bacon's day. He was captain in 80. He graduated at $. $. 5. in 80 and in '91, when a member of the Yale Law school, refused the captaincy, but was virtually the leader of the crew. He rowed in the Thompson crew of '79, and in 80 he became captain. The crew of 80 was one of the most famous crews ever at Yale or any other college, and is still remembered as the crew of giants, every member being over six feet in height and the crew averaging the tallest and heavi- est ever at Yale, or may say ever known ln the history of college boating. While in the '79 crew his quick eye noted the deficiencies and imperfections, and the improved style of rowing he introduced did much to secure the brilliant victories 80 and 'S1 ac hieved." ;" He did not finish at the Yale Law school, preferring business life, and went West, where he was in the prominent Chicago house of McCrea for year or two. Return ing east he went into business with his fath CT, who is a large owner of real estate in Boston and resides in Cambridge. Since then he has assisted his father in the care and management of the property. Since his return from his wedding trip he has resided in Cambridge at No. go Mercer street. His brother Freder- ick was in Yale with him, graduated in '82, and rowed with him in the Yale crew. He was the best man at the wedding. The de ceased was only 26 years of age. Personally he was beloved and his noble generous heart and splendid qualities of head and brain will long keep brightly alive his memory in the hearts of all that knew him.

LYMAN nEncHER LECTURES.
Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor of New
 York on ssrhe Scottish Pulpit''-A

Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor of New
 York on ssThe Scottish PuIpit''-A
 Large Attendance and Much Interest
 at Marquand Chapel Yesterday.
 The first lecture of the Lyman Beecher course for the season of 's6 was given yester- day afternoon in the Marquand chapel by Dr. William M. Taylor, of New York. The subject was "The Scottish Pulpit" For an acquaintance with the Scottish pulpit some acquaintance with the Scottish charac- ter is necessary, for there has been action and reaction between the pulpit and the people. The preacher is nodded by the people and his influence in turn modifes the people. The pulpit is the first of the nations life and comes up to affect that life. The Scottish people are characterized by 8 sturdy independence, the right to be and to belong to themselves. They are jealous of interference with private judgment. Behind this independence is that intensity which makes the Scetchman thoroughly in earnest, focusing him on what he undertakes; in connection with this is persistence amount ing to almost dogged stubbornness. The Scotchman, having what may be called the spirit of stick~to- a-tive-ness, never lets go D stands like rock because he has first taken care that he stands upon rock. He has a poetic sense which enables him to grasp ideas Sidney Smith has said that it re- quired surgical instrument to get a joke into the head of Scotchman. This was li- bel on the chaaacter of the people, for the Scotchman, though he often sees a joke, does not often show it. The Scotchman is also characterized by reserve especially in spiritual matters.
 The history of the modern Scottish church may be divided into three periods. The first period includes Hamilton and Knox, by the last of whom the reformation was effected and Professionalism was established The sec ond grew out of the unwise arrangement of the temporalities of the Romish church. When James VI.of Scotland came to mature age he sought to act upon his favorite max i'm, "No bishop, no king" and tried to force Episcopacy upon the Scottish people. The difference between liturgy and slavery turns upon very small thing, but the difference is not small one Under Cromwell, 1651-1658, the assembly was dissolved as Parliament had been, but at the restoration everything which was undone was done again. Episcopacy was thrust upon the land and persecution followed, the echoes of which continue to ring until this hour. After William of Orange ar rived to take the throne, prelacy was over thrown and the Westminster confession of faith was established in the churches of Scotland. When the union of England and Scotland was effected, the Presbyte- rian form of government continued. At the beginning of the 18th century there was heterogeneous mixture of ministers, an amalgam which proved to be type of preachers livery immoderate for modara- ton" tolerant of everything but evangelical enthusiasm for one hundred years they ried matters with high hand and the people
