Is tbe words of the poet, editor and philosopher of the Tarboro Sonthrrner, "how many a pood man has been im paled on a premature nomination!". Tnr publication of our Apex letter would subject us to indictment for llbeL. If our Apex friends will send the proof and it sustains the charges made In the letter the News will not hesitate to publish it- A charge of bribery is too serious a m?

And so they all say. And so the industriously reported split In the New York Democracy is a Radi cal canard. Accordiso to a decision just render ed by the Supreme Court of California, lawyers are not at liberty to decline to appear in Um defense of Impecunioua prisoners, if assigned to that duty by the court. Jadge Clark, of Sacramento, requested a young attorney to take charge of the defense in a case where no compensation could 1 expected, and adjudged a refusal to b contempt of ccTurt, for which be imposed a fine. Upoa a writ of k&beas corpus, issued by the appellate court, this decisiou was pronounced sound law. The liability to serve gratuitously is declared to be one of the burdens of the legal profes sion, for which Its privileges are ample compensation.

If, as is reported by a correspondent of the London Daily Sews who is with the Russian column which recently started on Its way &uth to chastise some Turcoman tribes, the Russians intend to occupy Merve, England will be shortly called on to interfere on behalf of the Ameer.

Usder the beading of "Are We an Anglo-Saxon People?1' the Pittsburg Port has a long and interesting article. From this we learn that the whole pop ulation of the American colonies a hun dred years ago was about 3,000,000. But inn that was not all of English origin. II Inelnded a const ierable white ele ment that was not English, and also a large number of negro slaves. It is within bounds to say that time did not exceed 2,000,000. The Poj says: "The tideof immigration first boa nr. e noticeable about sixty years ago. In 1317 some 15,000 pansagera, who might be classed Immigrants, were larded at American ports. 'It is esti mated that tbe numbers landed from 1789 to IsOO was about 250,000. In thft latter year the statist tea of immigra tion ware first officially prepared. They show. that from lO0 to 1878 the Whole number of aliens arriving in the United States w as 9,630,193. Adding tbe X, 0i)0 who had arrived before 1KJ0; we have a total of almost 10,000,000 immi grants in less than niuetv years. Evidence of the nationality of all these immigrants is not available, but it is very certain that the proportion of English was comparatively small. Statistics kept at New York; wheo the arrivals from May 5, 1847, to March 31, 1879, numbered 5,731, 1 si, show that the percentage of English was only 12.94. Of the whole number landed iu the time stated, 2,ldof23a' came from Germany; .020,001, from Ireland, and 742,'JTl from England, England contri buted less than three-quarters of a mil lion to over rive millions sent by other couu tries. Supposingthe proportion to have been about the same from the beginning. 1,2T.0,G00 of the 9,870,793 im migrants a ided from 1789 to 1878, came from England. There were some 2,000,000 of English and their descendants in the United State a hundred rears ago. About EZ30.0UO English, or possibly a few thousand more, have been added since. Tbe other nationalities added since 178!) number s,d?0,793. Tbe offspring of these is certainly much greater than that of tbe original English colonists and tbe Kiiitlish immigrants added in ninety yearn, and yet men talk and write of tbe American people of to-day as Anglo-Saxon." A novel cae is -ending in tbe Urooklyn courts. In her application for a guarding ad litem Miss Annie Mrong Pierce alleges that about tbe 1st day of March hvnt site became acquaint ed with Theodore Ilerrian, who re quested her society with a view to matrimony.

Al though Great Britain li-nl justly with her American subjects, it was not until tbe enactment of the stamp act iu 17G. when eveu the very newspapers anil almanacs of the people wero taxed, tluit a proposition lor a General Congress was suggested in several of tbe Colonies. This Congress, after due notice, was held on Septem ber 3, 1774 in Carpenter's Hall, Phila delphia. No thought of independence was then broached, but loyalty to the Crown was liruily upheld, and the in terests of both the mother country and bersitbjeets were advocated as of para mount consideration. The King was petitioned, and Parliament was remon strated with, but all to no purpose. V second Congress met in May, 1775, and after organizing a temporary General Government and an army, with Wash ington as Commander in Chief of the latter, adjourned.

Tbe audience being called to order by the Master gavel Mr. Theo. H. Cobb, of Linicolntou, arose, and. in a most happy-manner .Introduced to thaHU dienos the Hon., -David. .Scheuck, as the -orator of the. day. The . oration was a' perfeci. ucoess., The style .was elfva-- teu anaiVroible andtbe rhetorical: em bellishments were of the- most exajted character. The speaker- evineed pro found knowledge os Masonic, literature and paid glowing tributes to the pro moters of education. ( He said it vas u'stfal for people, occasionally, to relax Irom the busy tolls of life anji celebrate' a feast or an anniversary in honor of some event or1 hero hela in sacred re membrance; that the Christian people welcomed with joy" the wnnual return of tbe natal day of the. Savior of, the . world; that the American patriot cele brated the natal day of his liberty with great mvtrtial display, and that Masons everywhere observed with reverential pride the anniversary 'of the birthrday of that eminent patron of Masonry, St. John the Baptist. He said that Masoa ry had its origin at the building of the great temple at Jerusalem; that the de- aiga. of that laagnanx-esnt structure orig inated with the pious David, bnt as his . hands had been im bued with blood, tbe honor was reserved for Solomon, his son and successor Tbe foundation of this great edifice was laid by. Solomon in tbe year 1011 B. C, and was seven and a half years in building it. It was Duiit without tbe sound of ax, hammer or any tool of ironand when the build ing was completed its several parts fit ted with such exactness that it had the appearance of being the work of the Creator. He spoke of the vast stones used in the building of the temple and adverted to our blessed Lord's predic-tion-that "there should not be left one stone upon another that should not be thrown down." This splemlid build ing, which rose like a mount of gold and snow, and was once the admira tion and envy of the wrorld, has forever passed away. The temple area is now occupied by two Turkish Mosques.. The speaker Ihen answered satisfactorily the arguments of those who are ene mies to the Masouic order why it was s metimes unnecessarily assailed why the work is known only tothecraf and lastly, why a woman could not be come a Mason. . He then referred pa thetically to the Masonic record as a charitable institution; how, after the Church and State had turned a deaf ear to the waitings of the orphan children of the country, Masonry erected an asylum at Oxford and threw open its doors, and to-day extends a hearty wel come to the fatherless and motherless children in theState. Hedrew tbe line between esoteric and exoteric Masonry, and his remarks upon the symbols used in tbe order were extremely in teresting. He reminded us that by tbe light of the Jewish dispensation we are declared an .fenonyaous pamphlet "War published, eniitled Common Sense."Jfts. access was unprecedented. The copy4 right was assigned to the colonies iby the author, and not! until several etii-' tions were issued was it accredited to Thomas Paine. In a literary point of view it was one of the irrrest -prodnc-tions in the English language. -But the author was not an aspfrarit for literary fame: his sole aim. was the achievement of American IndeDendence.

Tbe adoption oi this declaration placed Jefferson in an embarrassing position. Not daring to say outright that he was its 'author, he studiously eva ded that point when ever it became nec-. essary to allude, to the-iubjeot,' But at last, when Franklin had been dead thirty-three years and Paine fourteen years Jefferson ventured to clafiir hat no one then (disputed.

But the science of criticism, like the spectrum analysis'.; which, re veals the composition . of the. ..stars, points unerringly to Thomas Paine as the only man who could indite that greatest of all literary masterpieces the Declaration of American Independence.

In 1776 the dosire for the disuioniber- mem oi me colonies as English subjects became ti e dominant one in the minds of the American patriots, and all hopes of a reconciliation with ireat iiritain bad vanished for ever and ever, in June. 177, Richard Hen rv Lee, a weal thy Virginian, who had an immense property at stake, "offered a resolution in the (iencral Congress, declaring all allegiance of tbe colonies to tbe British Crown at an end." Neon after this startling proposition, a committee, con sisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Ad ams, Benjamin Franklin, HogerSher- ..".t ix. iivingsxon, was appointed to draft a Declaration oT In dependence. Thomas Jefferson was the author of the Declaration. With the exception of a few verbal alterations m.la by Benjamin Frank lin and John Adams, it was submitted to Congress, Jnne -JH, 1776. The docu ment was laid on the table and did not come up- for discussion until July 1 when U was taken up in Committee of tho bole, and alter several amend ments were m'de, nine States voted for umr.iurme. i ne assemblies of Maryland ami Pennsylvania refused their concurrence; but conventions of the people having been called, mafoi i lies wereobtained, and on the Fourth of July, vote frn,n HI1 tho corotiies were prrH-ured in its favor, and the thirteen united colonies were declared free and independent States." On the Fourth of July John Hancock, President of C ongress, and a man of wealth, signed the immortal documeutnl v, and with his signature, a bold, masculine hand writing, it was ent out to the civilized world.

He was tben suffering with dysentery, and, when at . an Atlanta hotel, this complaint took . a typhoid character. From the hotel he was taken to me nouse of bis warm friend, Gov ernor Colquitt. His symptoms grew worse, and Governor Colquitt tele graphed to friends here that the issue was doubtful ; but a chancre for tho hot ter took place, and a few davaago it was thought the crisis had passed, and that the patient would recover. Delusive hope. It was the Doctor's intention after fulfilling his duties at Yadkin to travel westward to Adrian, Mich., and there deliver a lecture before the college attended by his sou. About a year ago many friends of the deceased, both in this city and in Cin cinnati, becoming inte rfiSfod "in hia ha. haff, endeavored to procure for him a foreign mission, and to this end called President Hayes attention to the mat ter. Tbe Chief Executive himself sug gested Dr. Clark for Minister to Peru Subsequently this was found out of tk question, but the President remarked to a mutual friend, "Dr. Clark is booked for a place, and he has Oil 1 17 to i7aif o short time." Meanwhile the Doctor was oflered a Consulate in tbe northern part of South America, which he de clined. Overwork was the indirect cause of his death. His labors, both literary and church, were incessant and ardu ous, keeping him in a state of constant mental strain. Dr. Clark was a graceful and prolific writer, and tbe author of several works uicu uave uaa an extensive sale.

Solomon said, over three thousand years ago, that there was "nooew thing under the sun," but if that mighty Jew ish potentate had been living in , St. Louis last night, he , jmigbt have seen a really new thing a;!thing.- that could only be the product of the advanced civilization of the nineteenth century of the Christian era. ; Thisstrange sight consisted of a Jewish and Christian con gregation meeting together for worslnp an a Jewish synagogue. Ever since the burrfiug of the Seeond Baptist Church ure cohgregatiomhas been meeting at the Jewish , Temple' Shaare Emeth every Sunday evening, on the special invitation of the pastor, Rev.S. H. Sonneschien. The chapel of the Second Baptist Church, cornerof Beaumont and Morgan streets, has now. been completed, and will be occupied for service next Sunday. Last night was consequently the lastoocasioii on. which the i church- would be the guests oi those who had proved them selves friends in need. The occasion was taken advantage of to inaugurate one of the most remarkable events.that aver transpired in Christendom-thfl meeting together of. the two congrega tions for worship in common. When the. announcement wasmade that the meeting would take place, all who desired to attend wereadmonished to be present early, as seats, would be in demand. There was never - a more necessary caution, as long before the hour of service people began to?pour in in crowds, and. by the appointed hour not only was every seat and every inch of standing room occupied, but more people had turned away unable to get in than would have filled the church twice over. It .was a most remarkabl e scene for a Sunday night in St, Louis, under the shadow of a church. - The streets around were lined with carri ages, and the sidewalks for blocks were crowded with pedestrians coming and going. Those who, were a littlalate found an impenetrable mass of people blocking up the aisles, of the ohureh and extending into the vestibule be yond the point anything could be either seen or heard distinctly, except the mu sical portions of the services,-; which w ere of a high order and could be heard .and appreciated by all who were so for tunate as to get inside, and also the great throngs ia the vestibules and on .thesidewalkSkj. , The serviced .themselves were of an unusual character, and opened with an organ voluntary by Dr. E: M. Bowman, Opus No. 1, Batiste. This was followed by the opening sentence, "The Lord is in xiis xiuiy empie," uy tbe choir. A Psalm was then read, -followed by the singing of . that beautiful i hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee," to the tune "Bethany," so popular jin congrega tional and social meetings. . ; Rev. Dr. Sonneschien then made a prayer, characterized- by. eloquent fer vor, and which in all .the attributes of an appeal to the Deity in behalf of uni versal mankind, has scarcely if ever been surpassed. Members of the vis iting congregation spoke of it in glow ing terms of eulogy. The choir sang a response from : Beethoven, which was iouowea oy a scriptural Jesson, and an anthem "Jubilated by the choir. Rev. W.W.Boyd; pastor of the Sec ond Baptist Church, then-delivered an address appropriate to the- oecasioin. He relatedttbe story of the flery difeas ter by which his congregation bad beer turned out ot itsusual place of worship the first meeting-thereafter at the Mer cantile Library Hall and. the kind and courteous letter of -Rev. Dr.-Sonnes-obem extending an invitation for the congregation to meet at the Temple Shaare Emeth. He dilated on, the pleasant and hospitable which they had been entertained n,i concluded by reading a series of resoi lutions passed by his congregation ex pressiveiof their obligation and thanks to Dr. Sonneschein and the Jewish con gregation. ...... Dr. Boyd ther in the name of inern bersof his congregation, presented to Dr. bonneschein, , as a testimonial of their, appreciation of his goodness and kindness, a service of silver plate.
