out into the CITY anu DOuSnI SWEEP spices
with which to anoint the body of Jesus.
We may we'll suppose that after the spices
were bought and prepared, these noble wo-
men spent the remainder of the night in
great mental anxiety. Probably they spent
the night in sleepless solicitude. When it
was yet dark, before the first streak of light
flashed across the heavens on that memOra-
BILE morning, there wa a great earthquake.
1t is probable that this earthquake occurred
before the women left the city, or wherever
they spent the Sabbath. Jerusalem must
have been in Il state of great agitation.
From twelve o'clock to three of the day that
our Saviour hung on the cross there was
darkness over the whole land. This is
stated by Matthew, Mark and Luke in near
ly the same words, Luke adding that the
sun was darkened. This could not have
been caused by an eclipse ofthe sun, because
the passover was always observed at the
time of the full moon, and no eclipse of the
sun could take place at that time. At the
ninth hour Jesus died. At that moment
the vail or curtain which separated the holy
from the most holy place was rent or torn
from the top to the bottom, the earth quaked,
the rocks rent, and the graves were opened.
These events were enough to fill the stoutest
hearts with CONSERVATION. 1t did frighten
the Roman centurion, and he said, whether
understandingly ornot, we need ~notinquire,
"'Truly this was the Son of God" 1t was
because Jesus claimed to be divine that the
Jews so bitterly opposed him. Had he laid
no claim to divinity, he would not have
been despised and rejected by the Jews.
The disciples of our Saviour always speak
of him as the Son of God. The centurion,
no doubt, knew this, and he also knew that
the Jews cried out "crucify him" because
he asserted his divinity. This accounts for

Caiety was mostly against thu old

most Of these claims were brought up
by him recently, from other parties

the rights given to us. Senator
Ingalls, and a few other republican
Senators, except Senator Vanwyck,
voted against the confirmation of
Mr.. Matthews. Senator Logan
would have voted for him had be
been present. In the committee
every republican voted against him
while the democrats voted for him.
We make this statement and defy
contradiction. The republican Sen
ate has committed blunder by re-
fnsing to confirm Mr.. Matthews.
We have but little faith in Senator
Ingalls,.
He lis a dyspeptic chrouic objector to
every measure that is fathereG by
Negro.
We see all classes calling on Mr..
Matthews at Wizards Hotel, which
is an evidence that he is honored
and respected. Among his callers
are the leading district democrats,
chiefs of bureaus and men in high
official and social standing includ-
ing Marshal A. A. Wilson, the
superintendent of the Treasury
Department, the marshal of Indi-
ana and several members of the
District bar. All of the represen-
| tative District democrats have
called on Mr.. Matthews; and if there
had been any opposition by them
to his confirmation it is not to be
presumed that they would call on
him. We are inclined to believe
that the Senate acted unfairly to-
ward Mr.. Matthews. The Senate
had nothing to do with his politics.
We are republican and believe in
the principles of that party, but we
belivein rendering unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars. In Justice
to Mr.. Matthews we must admit
that he has made a manly fight
and his department in this city
should command the respect of our
citizens. Let us welcome our new
Recorder and show to him that we
are people and not a narrow con-
tracted class as we have been rep
resented.

HIS OWN LEGAL ADVISER.

1t would be of great advantage
if every good citizen understood
the laws of the land in which he
has to live aud work; but it is es-
pecially good TO understand the
law when one has the honor of Of
fetal trust and responsibility y
thrust upon him. In this connee-
fiftt5Bwtdgeee Stan n tt@ we'll tff"a m
hand, for almost Immediately af-
ter he had taken charge of the
off. e, and before he had time to
look about him and see what is
necessary to be done in the ma ter
of changes in the personel of the
office, a certain official thinking
to catch him unaware approach
ed him and undertook to snow
and construe to him "the law"
which this hasty official said re
quired the Recorder ito immedi-
ately appoint his subordinates."
This was done in the hope that as
Mr.. Matthews is new in office he
would feel bound by this gr"tuitous
construction of the law and make
haste to ''reappoint'' some of the
old officials in order tn It they
may show him show to run the
office" But in that move the of
fcial in question was mistaken,
for the Rec rider said 81 know
where the law is in reference to
this matter and will see that it is
properly construed; and further
when | get ready to appoint I
shall do SO, and not fail to do it in
a. cordante with the law" 1t is
needles to say the Recorder was
and the anxious official
retired.
