Unbelief.
There Is no unbelief.
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod,'
And waits to see it push away the clod,
Trusts he-ln God.
Whoever says, when clouds are In the sky:
"Be patient heart! light breake.h by and by,"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, 'neath winter's field of snow,
The silent harvest of the future grow,
God's power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep.
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
. Knows God will keep.
Whoever says: "To-morrow," "The Unknown,"
"The Future," trusts that power alone,
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
God's comfort knows.
There Is no unbelief;
And day by day, and night unconsciously,
The heart lives by that faith the. lips deny;
A God knoweth why.

What Garfield Thinks
Cor. Richmond State.
Washington, May 25. In conversa
tion yesterday evening, Gen. Garfield
spoke quite freely his opinions about
the unit instructions given by some
State conventions. He says State con
ventions have a right to instruct dele
gates at large, beeause they are the di
rect representatives of conventions that
appoint them. District delegates are
the creatures of the districts and not of
the convention, and should be left to
obey the voice of the people of their re
spective districts, or when that is not
well defined to follow their own indi
vidual judgment. A State convention
has no right to instruct them how they
shall vote. This idea of States instruct
ing district delegates to vote as a unit
is, he says, the old Confederate plan,
and is based on the theory that the
State is supreme. District delegates
are in immediate relation to the peo
ple, and a State convention has no
right to abridge that representative
position. District delegates are in the
immediate line of the people, just as a
citizen is in immediate connection with
the nation, and holds that connection
above any State authority or license. A
citizen in giving his allegiance to the
government is untrammelled by State
interference, and so a district delegate,
as representative direct from the peo
ple, should be allowed to vote as his
people request, and not as a State con
vention directs. The State unit-instruction
business is an introduction of
Confederate ideas into a Union conven
tion, and the question is, shall Confed
erate ideas control a Union convention V
It is a Tammany Hall method of con
trolling a party for personal and sinis
ter motives, and if it is introduced at
Chicago it will be the first time that a
Tammany rule has captured a Republi
can convention.
Gen. Garfield says he belieyes the unit
instructions will be broken at Chicago;
that the struggles of the party are now
centering around this one issue, and all
who areopposed to this anti-representative
rule, whether they are tor Blaine,
or Grant, or Sherman, will unite to ef
fect its destruction.

A British Critic oa the ConfeJerat

Saturday Review. ...
For Englishmen especially, the story
of the American civil war must always
possess the most powerful attractions.
On both sides the principles involved
were those which most deeply affected
our own national feeling; the language,
the race, the ideas of the combatants
were our own. The army of northern
Virginia in particular, from the nature
of the defence it had to maintain, and
the character it earned and sustained,
enlisted, and will for generations con
tinue to enlist the strongest English
sympathies. It fought with English
tenacity, English recklessness of con
sequences, English indifference to odds,
which was from the hrst very doubtrul
and soon became an evidently losing
battle. Once only was it fairly beaten
in open field : over and over again, both
on the offensive and on the defensive, it
proved itself more than a match for ap
parently overwhelming odds. Its com
position resembled very closely that of
our own volunteer regiments. Its chiefs
were men whose personal character and
public conduct display all the virtues on
which Englishmen mostypride themseves
as the people of Virginia are perhaps
the most thoroughly English of all the
many offsets which the mother race has
planted in every part of the world.
General Lee was as perfect a type of the
ideal English soldier and gentleman aa
history can show. "Stonewall" Jackson
reproduced, with many of its eccentri
cities, but scarcely one of its worse and
meaner feautures, the historic charac
ter of the Puritan leaders. Stuart,
Fitzhugh Lee and Wade Hampton re
minded those who closely followed
their career of the finest examples of
English cavalier loyalty and implic-
lty.

The ITIyatery of the Springer letter.
Special to the Baltomore Sun
Washington, May 24 To-day was
the most exciting so far before the Don-nelly-Finley
investigating committee.
Tm. S. King was here before he was
called. inley appeared voluntarily be
fore the committee, and announced that
he wished, to withdraw a statement pre
viously made by him to the effect that
King told him Washburne would use
money. King then appeared and de
nied all knowledge of the letter, and
said that instead of tiling J'inley any'
thing about money, Pfhley told him
Washburne would have to use money,
and that he reported it to Washburne,
and the latter replied, "The sooundrels,
I was eleoted by three thousand major
ity, and I would not spend a cent to save
them from ,"
Mr. MacLennan produced a large
number of letters, marked and number
ed, from h mlev s writing, that corres
ponded with that of the anonymous
letter. What capped the climax, he pro-
! auced a letter in the same words as the
Springer missive, that at first appeared
to be a fac-simile, but which MacLen-
naft showed he had made himself by
picking out oharaeter by character from
j? imcy 3 wining uu Lianiug mem ou
that, when placed in proper order, they
produced a surprising Effect. The result
is that severla more experts are to be
called in now, two for Einley, two for
the "other side and three lor tne com
mittee.
Presbyterian General Assembly,
Charleston, S. C, May 21--In the
Presbyterian General Assembly to-day,
Rev, W, C, Dana sent to the assembly a
paper asking the assembly to take such
action on a question oi unurcn govern
meht as will open the way for the
union of the Charleston u nion Presby
tery or some of its members with this
church. On the subject of ' women
preaching, the assembly, in answering
an overture, tane oeciaeo; grouna
against this innovation, but refuse to
take steps towards so amending tne
book, of Church ordinances as to make
its language more distinct. The com
mittee on the revision of the directory
for worship, reported that they had
agreed on a new directory, and recom
mended that it be recommitted, printed
and sent to the Presbyterian for criti
cism. This recommendation was post
noned until to-morrow morning. The
assemblv accented, with thanks, an in
vitation from the Clyde Steamship
Oomnanv to take an excursion around
the bav in their steamship George W
Clyde. Kev. Charles Scott, D. Dn dele
crate from the Reformed Dutch Church,
addressed the assembly. The modera
tor responded in appropriate terms.
