was between Hayes and Morton, the lat

made the oompaot with Foster and Mat

sly Joseph, has raised suoh a coiae.
The Honth is strong, politically. She
oan diolate because she has the power.
It she desires to run one of her own
people she has certainly the privilege to
do so. Why should Northern Democrats
object to coming to their support. Tbe
minority should yield to the majority.
Gentlemen of the North, spare us so
tnuoh adviee and dictation. It oanies
with a bad graoe. Tbe Sooth will never
snpport Badioalism, nor Republicanism,
nor Hayesism—the power that for yean
has endeavored to orush intelligence and
wealth beneath the heel of ignorance and
poverty; nor will she forever be willing
to sustain Northern Demooraoy nnlssa
the Utter is willing to give a parity of
interest. Boutbern gentlemen have the
equal privilege to aspire to place. Bpare

was foroed on the oonntry by the fear the
Democratic House, whioh has the
power, would destroy the army. He
thinks Kellogg i* a legal Senator,
bnt plainly does not believe

Bev. Dr. Kennedy offered naan amend-
ment to tbe report the addition after the
word “good” of the words “bnt all are
evil ana should be dlsoonntenanoed.” He
said that tbe growing taste for danoing
was fast serving its pnrposa, that of ren
dering indistinguishable the lines of de-
markation between the oharoh and tho
world. After some disenasion the emend-
ment was adopted.
Mr. Cowan spoke nt some length against
card playing and danoing, and directed
the letter portion of his remark* 1 particu
larly against the letter ana danoing
schools; saying that aohoole propagated
the evil and ahould be discontinued and
rno-t positively dlsoouutananoed. He
could not see how the Interests of tbs
Lord oould be furthered, when the ohurch
in one Motion labored to do good, while
iu another it vu passive; that no benefit
could be derived from the work of tbe
country abnrohes while the evil of dano-
ibg was tolerated in the oities.
r. Banks ooinoided in the remarks of
Mr Cowan and moved to amend by in
serting the words “and we affectionately
urge ell our Christian parents not to send
their obildren to danoing sobools, where
they aoquira a fondness and aptltnda for
the dangerous amusement.”
After some more disousaion tbe amend
ment waa adopted.

The Braparar sf Awstrlae Appears
Be fare a New Jersey Court.
Nxw Yonx, May 24.—Tbe Emperor
Franois Joseph, of Austria, has instituted
suit in the New Jersey Obanoery Court
against Dr. E. W. Buok. It appears that
some yeara ago, when Dr. Buok
county physician of Hudson county, a
man, wno registered his name as Aloy
sios MolnsU, committed suicide at
Hotel Hansa, at Hoboken. On search
ing hie room, e large amount of money
end other valuable* were found.
No friend appearing to olaim tbe proper
ty, and the surrogate appointed Dr. Book
administrator of the estate, and the as
sets have since been in the bands of that
.gentleman. It is now asserted that Mol-
usn’s real name wes John Banner, em
ployed te a railroad office under the Aus
trian Government, and that he stole ■
large quantity of bonds and fled to Amer-
ioa, and that the money found in bis
room is the proceeds of tbe robbery.
The snlt is for the recovery of the prop
erty.
Tho Texas Harvest.
It is not nsaal (o look to the Sonthern
States for a supply of grain, but Texas is
a State that sets nil rules at defianoe; it
seems equally adapted to cotton and
wheat. Some apeoimens of its present
wheat orop have been received in
this oity whioh wonld do credit to Oham-
E algn oonnty, Illinois. They are from
'alias county. The heads are fully ripe
and tbe grains plump and heavy, giving
tbe promise of a good yield to the sore.
It is stated that the harvest in Dallas
oonnty will begin the lrat of this month,
so that we may have new Texas wheat in
tbe St. Louis market by tbe middle of
June. The orop will be large for TexaB,
as it has not been sfl'eoted by grasshop
pers, and Is now beyond their reaoh.
With tbe Texas harvest beginning tho
last of May and the harvest in Illinois,
Missouri and other Western States fob
lowing a month later, we have n pretty
good Bssuranoe of another year of obeap
food.—St. Louis Republican.

recent visit to New York was adroitly im
proved by these persons in order to pre
judice the Administration against tbsse

not the sort of men to give np easily their
