rurIArE BISHOP BEcKwITu.

Thedeath Of Right Rev. John w. Beckwith-
u. d., Bishop of Georgia, creates vacancy
in the ranks OF the clergy Of the Episcopal
Church Of the United States which it will
be hard indeed 20 fill Born in Raleigh, North
Carolina, on the 9th Of February, 1871, he
early in life determined TO enter the Church.
lie graduated a. Trinity College, Hartford,
IN 1852. and on the oath Of May, 1854, was
made a deacon, and in May, 1850, was
ordained a priest. Being a man of rare
personal and intellectual attainmcnts, he
rose rapidly in the affection of those TO
whom he ministered. and in the esteem OF
his bishops and brother clergy. His first
pastoral work was in North Carolina; from
thence he went 10 Maryland, and at the be-
ginning of the war he moved to Mississippi.
From there he went first 10 DemOpolis, Ala
bama, and thence to Trinity church, New
Orleans.
1t was while in charge Of the last-named
parish that his fame as pulpit orator OF
unusual excellence, as well as Of a laborer
enthusiastically and conscicntiously de-
voted TO his work in the fields ofthe Church,
first became generally known. And
as evidence Of the high position
which he then attained as preach
err and pastor the following true incident
may be recorded: During the yellow-feyer
epidemic of 1867 in New Orleans, DR.. Beck
with was sent by his church to New York
city TO solicit aid for the sufferers of that
stricken city. His appeals were so elo-
quent, touching, and iorcibe that he not
only secured more money than he
actually needed, Int made lasting i'm
preston upon all who heard him. SO strong
and favorable indeed was this impression
that he received two calls, one to the
Church Of the Holy Saviour (Dr. IlawksD, in
New York, with a salary Of $4,000 year,
and the other TO Grace church, Broadway,
with a salary Of $4,000 a year and hand
some rectory.
But earthly wealth and position weighed
rs nothing with DR.. Beckwith when OPP
posed to what he considered his duty,
and both these ilattering calls were declined
that he might continue in charge
Of his New Orleans parish at the
comparatively poor compensation Of $1,000
a year. Nor was this all; but when elected
to the Episcopate Of Georgia he at first pos
itiyely refused to accept it, believing that
his true mission was in his parish, and it
was only after he had been three times
elected bishop did he conclude that con
science demanded his assuming the respon-
sibility Of so high an Office.
These incidents are related merely to give
an insight into his true character. lie was,
in a word, the truest eXemplar and highest
type Of a Christian gentleman, and doubt
less he has already reaped the highreward Of
a just life made perfect. His personal pres
ence will be long and sadly missed among
his friends and acquaintance, and by the
Church which he served so well; but though
passed from earth 10 Heaven, he yet speaks
through the good deeds and teachings
which he has LEFT 10 make his name fra
grant, aud his influence felt for good by
generations yet unborn.

pysprRArE LEGIsLArIoN.

DESPERATE GtGiSLAtiON.
When Congress reassembles next week
for the short and last session Of the present
body the Republican majority will doubt
Iess nj once address itself 10 the work OF
attempting to repair the fallen fortunes OF
Radicalism by resor,ing 10 any legislation,
however desperate, which may promise 10
conduce 10 that end. The two most
nrominent measures which they have
In view for carrying out their de-
signs are the Force bill, and the
hill providing for the reapportionment
of the country under the new cen
Gus. The first it is assumed will
assist the Radicals to regain their ascen-
deucy in the Fifty-third Congress by ena-
bling them 10 forc.bly seize Southern
districts at the elections TO be held during
the last year Of IarrisOn's administration
while by means Of the second it is hoped TO
so gerrymander Northern States, when their
Congressional districts are reapportioned
in accordance with the census, that the
election Of Republican representatives may
De rendered comparatively easy.
While this is undoubtedly the programme
mapped out by the Republicans for their
guidance during the few short months OF
power yet left them, indications point 10 the
fact that the Democrats are equally
determined 10 resist TO the utmost
of their ability any attempts at
partisan and noxious legislation. They
expedient 10 be untried to prevent the
infamous Force bill from becoming law,
and they will fail in their duty to their
constituents and the country at large II
they do not see 10 1t that an unfair appOr-
tionment bill, constructed for partisan pur-
poses only, and manipulated wholly in the
interests of that monopoly which has been
80 signally rebuked at the polls is defeated.
In making this conflict, which bids fair to
be as notable as any ever recorded in Con-
gressional annals. the Democracy will fight
with redoubled zeal and energy, because
they will feel that they are supported by
the people, and that,their course will meet
with universal endorsement. The verdict
against hdulcdllsH III -NoNthDti N"9
given under the same conditions which re-
stored the Republicans to power two years
ago. 1t showed, therefore, as plainly and
Enthusiastically as the people could speak,
that the same men who then voted to give
Radicalism another lease on life had be-
come Disguised with the experiment, and
now intended to, most emphatically, reverse
their decision. Under these circumstances,
IL the Democrats fail TO omit anything TO
foil the meagre majority OF Repre-
sentatives of disowned and disgraced
party in the present Congress from retain
ing any modicum Of their power and in
huence by means OF legislation maniiestly
disapproyed by the people. they will be
considered as unpardonably negligent. Any
means TO which the minority can lawfully
resort to prevent such an iniquity
would meet with overwhelming popular
approval. Ifby attempting such legisla-
tion the Republicans neglect the regular
appropriation bills, and so force an extra
session of the iifty-second Congress, they
alone must bear the responsibility.

THREATENED INDIAN UPRISING.

The anticipated outbreak Of the Indians
in the vicinity Of Pine Ridge, in Dakota,
seems unlikely TO take place now, and there
does not appear TO be any reason for expect
ing IL before the spring opens. by which
time the National Government can strongly
reinforce all the forts where the hostilties
would begin. Large bands of Indians,
armed TO the teeth and with their war paint
ON. have been rowing about and threatening
the whites, but 30 far no depredations have
been committed. The country in which
they have made their appearance has been
thrown into state Of greater disturbance
than is justified by the actual danger Of
serious ontrages.
The agitation now observed among the
Indians is attributed by those in position
90 understand the situation to the fact that
their annuities have only recently been
paid, aud moi being allowed an opportunity
10 indulge their taste for liquor, they have
been working of their excitement in
series OF religious dances, which has
prompted the younger set Of bucks to leave
tusli ftrtlNat III VI
which at any moment might end In blood
shed.
For some reasons, the prospect OF an
Indian uprising is not at all repugEant to
the wishes OF the people In the negbborhcod
of the reservations, as II gives an excellent
excuse for the removal OF their Indian
occupants aud the throwing open Of the
land thus vacated TO white settlers.
onIy few weeks ago, General scofeld
In his annual report. congratulated Con-
gress on the quie. which had been so long
maintained among the Indians. The |
threatened uprising is very untimely !

Professor Koch shows nothing of the char
latan in his prudent refusal to make known
the constituent elements Of his remedy be-
fore it can be produced with necessary care
and skill and administered with scientific
precision Of method. The reasons given by
him to medical inqurers appear eminently
sound and in the best sense disinterested.
In seeking to make this discovery a.
widely beneficial to the world as pos
sible, he is indeed taking the best
course to secure that immortality Of fame
which to the elevated soul is more precious
than all material possessions, and it is none
the less true that his caution and prudence
may tend TO secure him greater material
benefit from his achievement, but these can
not be reckOned his ruling motives or cen
sured as such, if the course he pursues is
that which a strict regard for the progress
OF science and the welfare Of mankind
would dictate.

REGARDED even from a selfish point Of
view, Richmond has no reason to contem-
plate the rising prosperity Of its sister towns
in Virginia with any feeling but one of ur-
mingled pleasure and satisfaction. What
ever contributes TO the Advancement of the
state at large, or accelerates the growth Of
rs various centres Of population, promotes
the welfare Of this city as the capital of the
Commonwealth Richmond looks only to a
closer communication with all the new
towns that are springIng up in all parts of
the state. The wealth Of her own citizens
is doing much TO build up these towns and
to place their future upon an enduring
foundation Of an eyer-increasing prosperity.

THE remarkable and wonderful changes
evolved by the whirligig OF time are striking
ly shown ty the fact that on sunday night
last performances were given in two theatres
of Providence, Il. |. That such thing could
happen in New England state is enough
TO make the old srraight-laced Puritan set
.lers Of that little plantation turn over in
their collins. The idea that in section
once governed by blue laws, which made it
penal ofense for man TO kiss his wife on
sunday, theatrical exhibitions can now be
witnessed on the Sabbath is startling.
Whether or not the authorities will remain
quiescent under so tremendous a revolution
in popular sentiment is an interesting
problem.

Ritual Law in England.

Philadelphia Times.
The existing confusion Of ritual law in
England is somewhat worse COMPOUNDED by
the Judgment Of the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury in the Bishop Of LincOln's case. Ec-
clesiastcal authority and civil authority
are so inextrcahly mixed that the clergy,
bound by rigid oath Of uniformity to a
prescribed standard, have no means
of certainly determining what that
standard is. There are pre-Reforma-
ton canOns and there are p0st-Re-
formation statutes, Tu Tor, stuart, and
Hanoyerian: there are Episcopal orders,
from Catholic 10 Puritan, and there are
opinions Of all kinds Of civil tribunals re-
yersing one another. No mortal man could
form any idea from the rubrics alone how
the services Of the Church Of England were
to be administered, and the interpretations
OF these rubrics have been as many and
varied as the minds Of the interpreters.

wild Western Rejoicing.

a good deal may be pardoned in Wis
cOnsin Democrat just now, and even
'poetry" may be overlooked. II is long
time since Wisconsin Democrats had q
chance to rejoice at anything local, and
the late overturnwhich gave them the Cover
nor and state offices, the Legislature,
United states Senator and eight or nine
Congressman, has naturally set them nearly
wild. Democrat writing TO the Milwau-
kee journal thus gives expression to hls
feelings:
Let me give thanks for million
Let me dance, let me yell and sing
Let me raise up Old Ebenczerl
Let me ride on an angels wing
Peck and Jonas have got there!
Thirty-fJur years We were out,
Give me IN with derrick.
And let me raise uD shout
The sentiments uttered by the inspired
bard are all right. and they do him credit
even if his rhythm is a little rough and his
feet tribe unsteady. Massachusetts
Democrats know how it is themselves, and
will sympathize with his wild Western en-
thusiasm.
