The resignation of Mr. Oliidstone was
not unexpected. He could not have done
j otherw ise, and it is only a matter of sur
prise that any one should doubt what he
would do. Tlmsc opposed to him had tin
I doubt about w hat lie would do. Mr.
■ iltulsTime has some times been uncertain,
hut never uncertain from insincerity.
'Iris the most- sincere man in public
I life; and certain to act upon his convie-
I lions. His convictions, however, may
! change, hut he will net upon tin; right
I as he sees it to-day and not adhere to the
error of .'ester lay !!ul for his honesty
Mr. < iItiils'iimi would to-day he against
i Ireland.
| On tin matter o 'going out of olliee the
j ideas involved are of that permanent
1 kind that do not change their relation.
| An issue was made, he was on one side,
j the torics on the other. He was beaten
and tlie result was clear as day from
night. Acting upon principle of political
right he could only go out—and he goes.
Hartingtoii’s course was, however, one
that might fairly he in doubt, and it was
pretty clear that Ids followers would be
led one way or the other as (heir lender
was influenced by the instinctive im
pulses of whiggory, or by politic consid
erations of the future of parties. As it
turns out the politic consideration was
tlie more cogent force, though the victory
is not decisive. Tor about two hundred
years w iggery was tlie assailing force in
British polities and the tories held the
j fort. There came a time consei]iiently
! when all the issues between those two
old parties had been fought out, and
| w hen the cniii|Ui iTng wliigs had extorted
from the obstinacy of the tories nearly
all the points that have made Kngiand a
progressive nation, from parliamentary
reform to the habeas corpus law. Then
arose new demands for further changes
in the pingressive direction—changes in
the popular spi"it Unit whiggory
could not acept - and on these new
issues the present liberal party came in
to cxisttnee. With regard to rol.u-i
propositions for reform in keeping with
the spirit of the ptVM iit time tlie wliigs
thcrel'iiie ure apt to he rather nearer to
the tories who n-i-t than to the liberal:, j
who demand. 'They always halt between i
on any great issue, as llartington is halt- I
ing now. lint as the propositiiins touch
ing Ireland strike tlie conservative Lng-
lishman as truly monstrous, it was j
thought the wliigs might all go bodily j
over to the tories on this point, even tft 1
the risk of being heard of no more for- j
ever as a separate party.
That they have not so gone seems to
indicate that they are now les.- certain of j
the dreadful danger of this next reform ]
than they were at tin- time it was first j
proposed, and that they expect to plav a 1
part as a shaping force to prevent reform
from taking on radical | roportions and to
overcome a too obstinate or even reac
tionary temper in the lories. In this at
titude on their part, and in tlie promise
of Mr. (lladstoim to "conduct an uncom-
promi-ing opposition,’’ we see the
prospect of n lively future j
Ibr ieforei in Ireland, liven in the much 1
varied history of political parties, we
sch'.om observe a precise parallel to the ;
relat 'on "f parlies in this ease. Salislmrv j
j has a majority oil one point in the puli- j
I ties the time, and is hi a miimiiti on :
! all oilier points ; yet he comes Inin otiice
j !> cause that point is the conspicuous I
topic of tiie day, and lor the moment
| dwarfs all the topics p, v , Inch lie is in
| a miiiotiiy. His party work- mi a
pivot. It is like a top that must
he kept spinning fair and even to
j presen e its delicate balaiue on tlie point.
I and tiie IVttlest side-wipe will upset it.

to make any endeavor to reach an agree
ment ivith tin tories, which perhaps
j results Irmn his cxpo-ioiiee with I'arnar-
' von, and the determination of the wliigs
i to stand oil' and support Salisbury only
if he satisfies them, will be. fruitful in
j side-wipes and would he enough to make
life a burden to a pift'ty leader of far
j more genius than Salisbury posseses.

| The news given the country n few days |
ago thill Mr. l’owderly was likely tube'
the nontinei of the democratic party of
Pennsylvania for governor has received ;
a black eye. Mr. l’owderly publicly an
nounces that he would not accept tlie
nomination if it were unanimously ten- i
deled him and backed up by a certainty
of his election. It would he contrary to 1
all hi- public professions to enter actively
into polities. Thisauinoiineement of Mr. !
1’ovvderly leaves the result in I
Pennsylvania as much in doubt |
as heretofore. The labor vote, one |
hundred thousand strong, is still aloof I
from any party alliance, and whichever !
way it goes decides the contest. Both J
parties will make strenuous efibrts to I
capture it, and the two platforms will no !
doubt bristle with fair promises to the i
laboring people.
The situation, however, is not without j
hope for the democrats. They have at
least won the good will of the laboring j
people by ollering to nomi
nate their leader. The only
ijuestion which will present itself:
to them now will lie, which party is more j
likely to keep its promises? The insin
cerity of the republican party on the li
quor question lias caused many people to j
believe that their professions of friend
ship for tlie prohibition cause was simply
a trick to catch the prohibition vote. The
prohibitionists have become dissatisfied
with the record of the republican party
on this question, and are not likely to
be so easily duped again. The
democrats will endeavor to take advan
tage* of this di -.action and win over
at least a fair share of this vote, and by
the aid of the laboring men they hope to
take the republican.- by surprise and cap
ture the gubernatorial prize. The state
'•<invention meets in about three weeks
and it will lie interesting to watch devel-
ments during the interval from now
until then. If the democrats make u
w ise select ’"it for t m 1 lead of their ticket,
they will unquestionably ha\" a lighting
chance.
\o Veil' Kill It in KltMss.
The convention ot tion.i Templars ha.-
adjourned, and the delegates have left
for their homes. From utterances of
sr.me of tin public speakers here we
would presume that it is the intention of
the order to raise the prohibition issue in
this city at no very distant day. We do
not refer to this, however, for the pur
pose of discussing the prohibition ques
tion, or of expressing an opinion as to
whether an election should be hold. Wo
simply want to say a few words in all
kindness to those who may be on oppo
site sides in Ihi.- great i.-.-no.
If the friends of prohibition see tit to
ask for an election in this county, it is
their perfect right to do so, and no one
should abuse them for acting according
to their honest convictions. In advoca
ting the cause of temperance, however,
its friends should lie cure fill not to speak
harshly of those who do not agree with
them in their plans and methods. Every
good man is free to admit tlint temper
ance is a good thing, hut all good men do
not concede that local prohibition law-
arc beneficial. If there is to he a contest
lien let the gentlemen mi both sides en
deavor to condui-1 the campaign in a re
spectful and orderly manner. We have
heard temperance speakers use s, .me very
intemperate language. The hitter abuse
of the men who migea - in the liquor
trallienudtiio.se who drink whi“kyby
some ] non i i in nt pr Libit ion i .raters lias
lone more In injure the cause iif temper
ance thitn to promote it. These ex
tremists'.'ring hitt'.-rne-s and strife into
local contests that produce dissensions
and enmity that it lakes years to vvq -
out. The light should not he against any
imliv idual or class of individuals, but for
a principle. If you would convince men
you must address their reason and argue
with them in a calm and friendly man
ner. Men can lie lead in a matter like
this, but they iiinnot be forced. Abuse
only serves to drive them further from
VI 'll.
It etui also be said in truth that some
liquor men too often abuse good men
who favor the cause of temperance. This
is ali wrong. Every man has a right to
his opinion, am! is no mao at all if lie
does not act according tohif-hoiirst con
victions of duty. Solong as a man is re
spect fill to those w ho disagree w ith him,
he is in turn entitled to respect from
them. If a man believes prohibition to
he for the best interestofthecoiintur
and p."motive of good n. his fellow ii.i-ii.
il i. in I only his | jglit. hut it is his duty
to e- poiisc its cause, hut he should act

feuil l hose wli" di.-agn. e wit h liii.i. 'I*".-

others will avoid nil contention and haul
feelings in a i.iatt' i like llii~. and there
is absolutely no reason for strife an 1 oil-
terness. Men who rc~drt to abuse and

he regarded with suspicion on that no
count. But they go further still. Hav
ing from tlie premise that one preacher

ihcv form a sort of illegitimate corollary
that tlie religion these men preach is a
-haio It is useless to toll these censors
of tin pulpit and the eliureh that their
i n:"- unions are illogical and unjust. Fur,
ii- ,i rule, these people are a-' innocent of
I ig. as tlu-v are of decency, and the idea
I of doing justice t" anybody merely oil
pi-tin iph- i- an nn'hinkahle conception
-,o them. Collating scandals and evil re-
qorts about ministers is a labor of love
with such jieo]tie. Wherever there is a
r moral wreck thither they llv. “Where
tin- carcass is there will the eagles be
gathered higetlier. '
The discovery of a very vile man under
the cloak of a clergyman proves no more
against clergymen as a class than the dis
covery of a wolf in a sheep's garb proves
against the good nature of sheep as a
class. People forget that siieli men never
were clergymen in the real sense of the
word. They only profess to he. The
appearance of counterfeit anywhere is: a
priina facie proof that the genuine of the
' same denomination is valuable. Hypo
crisy is vice's tribute to virtue.
As long as men are human, as long as
flesh is weak, men in high places in the
church will ne liable to err. But a moral
deflection in one minister m cl nut and

the minulia-and liie mud of tin- ‘Vam-
bol.lt scandal. Lev. M. M. Wumboldt,
l>;l-tiif of tiie First Baptist church in
Chat la hi iiigu, Tennessee, and a most el, .-
qilent divine, has been charged with 1 ag
amy, perjury, and the d.'Sertioit of ids
wife. These are old charges ivvanq ,-,|.
They have been hr.i.ighl again*! Mr.
Waniboldt in other cities and -.ir-:'; a -
rily answered. Mr. Wamboldt's princi
pal accusers appear to he a divorced w ife
from whom lie was divorced for the
scriptural cause, and an expelled mem
ber of his own el Hire! i, vv lm~e reput at ii in.
to put it mildly, is decidedly shady.
Mr. Wambolt may or may not he guilty.
With that question we are not dealing at
present. We propose to speak of his ca-e
as a ropresontativo one only. There i- a
class of people, very large in a nunc rival
sense, and very little in another sense,
who clap their hands in delight at the
bare mention of a preacher's connection
with a scandal. They wag their heads
and exclaim alia! aha! They leap to
the illogical conclusion at oiioe that this
preacher concerned in the scandal is the
typical preacher of this and every other
day: and the fact that lie ha- Ken lech
erous or faithless at once 1 dots out, vea,
glorifies, the short-comings ;m ,]
peccadilloes of every layman
and non church member who dis
graces himself to any degree whatever.
They regard a fallen minister of tiie gos
pel as a proper scapegoat for all the sins
that were ever committed outside of the
cloth. But they go further than this.
Their slip-shod logic at onee compels the
conclusion that every preacher who has
not fallen in a particeps. criminis with
the one who has fallen, or at least is to
as m th
rgyhian will

:"t L certain men will
