The Canterbury Huguenots.

To the Editor of The News and Cou-
rier: In YOUR news column of Febru-
ary IL appeared en item copled from
some other journal, which told OF tne
coming celebration in July OF the
three hundred and ffty-third annlFer-
sarv of the Huguenot Church in Can
terburv. England, with the added re-
nlark. that .s this church is only Huge
not in name, like that Of the Saint
Esprit, in New York city having long
since been absorbed in the Church OF
ENGLAND. This added remark is mac
curate. The Huguenot Church in the
crypt of Canterbury Cathedral, Eng
land, retains every feature OF It's SIM
pie and beautiful Huguenos service.
I have visited, it and have now in my
possession copy of its liturgy. 1t IS
to the immortal honor Of the Churc6
of England that it has never disturbed
the congregation of Hugnenots and
their descendants worshipping in its
chief cathedral. The little chapel
contains the list of all its pastors from
the beginning and it adjoins another
portion of the historic crypt where the
irst refugees from persecution were
nermitSed m to set up their looms and
ply their skilful Fhandcraft. There
have been some individual objections
TO the continuance there of service
which is not Anglican in form and OF
an organization which is not that OF
the Church of England, but it has
never taken official shape. One OF the
most interesting things in this
Hugnenot chapel is the inscription
over the principal arch. which ex-
presses the gratitude of the worship.

JUDGE ARTHUR MOVES
WILL Be DISMISSED.
The Charges Allege lncempeteney
and corruption---Findings of
the Investigation.

Washington Feb. 23.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox has delivered to the presi-
dent his findings in the matter of the
charges fled against Arthur Il. Noyes,
judge of the second division of the
United States district court for
Alaska. The charges allege incom-
potency and corruption, although, the
attorney general says, the charge Of
dishonesty was not pressed.
After reviewing the case at length
the attorney general concludes his
report as follows:
'Such was the end of this Nome,
litigation, out of which has sprung so
much complaint, bitterness and public
scandal. After review, it remains
that the actual consequences of these
proceedings in the Alaska district
court were to bring that court into,

DEATH OF GEN. polk.
An interesting Account From a
Northern Newspaper of the
Sad Event.

The death of General Leonidas Z.
Polk was one of the saddest tragedies
of the war. There have been many
versions of how the death of the noted
bishop and general occurred, but the
following from The New York Times
of 1854 is the true story Of the killing
of General Polk, which occurred on
Kennesaw mountain, the body being
brought to Atlanta:
cit seems that Generals Joe john
son, Polk and Hardee, accompanied
bv General Jackson of the cavalry,
and an escort of staff officers had rid
den out in front Of Bates line to ex-
anime position, thought to be sulta-
bic for the Washington artillery. The
horses were made fast at the foot OF
the hill, and the party ascended to the
crown. Here they were the initials to
an abattis, with several embrasures,
rendering the place very much. expos
ed. Our own guns were less than oOO
Yards in front. There had been little
desultory firing during the early hours
of the day, but this had ceased some
time before the group Of officers be-
gan their reconnaissance. This was
prolonged to a much greater extent
than usual, and glided into a general
and animated convention, all OF the
officers being gathered into knot and
using their hands and glasses with q
freedom bespsaking rank and interest.
The gunners upon our side could not
fail to see them plainly, and while
they were being observed, deliberately
returned the observation, with full
time for calculation and adjustment.
The party seemed to forget their ex-.
posed situation, although some Of the
cannoneers who had been at work
upon the little tier Of breast. works,
pointed out to them the accuracy of
our shots. Presently spherical case
shell was discharged from our battery,
and exploded directly above the heads
of Generals Johnston, Polk, Hardee,
and Jackson, all of whom fell to the
ground to avoid the conclusion Of
fragments. It was then proposed to
divide, and the different officers sepa-
rated to such courses as were at
hand. Gen. Polk selected q very
secure shelter; but, becoming impa--
tient and anxious to see the range OF
fire more accurately, he stepped out
upon the brow and was intently gaz-
ing out across, the country-his
arms folded and his left side present
ed-when 3-inch round shot from
a steel rifed cannon struck the elbow
crcshing both arms and passing
through the heart, portion Of the
chest and stomach. and out on its muir
derous course. Leonidas Polk fell
lifeless and mangled to the ground.
Joe johnson was bending over him
in an instant with the rest of the
party. They lifted him in their arms
to an ambulance and his corpse was
carried to his quarters where bis bewil-
dered military family received it with
the mourning of men meeting the
corps of a father. This was on the
14th. The body of the deceased reach
ed Atlanta at 2 o'clock next morning
services by Rev. DR.. Quintard were
said at noon, and tie remains proceed
ed on the AFTERNOON train to Augusta !;
and from thence to Asheville, n. c.,
where his family was residing.'
