I3lIIOUs NOTICES. 8KOUND V.nrrwrrcr BEECHER. ALBANY. monts of Moses are extraordinary. They are fearlessly made.

They fully explain tho past of Republicanism in South Carolina, and a great fact in tho triplo traud ot 1870. They will lead to investigation and if they are found correct by even a tenth thoy will make one of the blackest pages in the history of the barbarism called Reconstruction and of the crime on tho nation iu IS70 77. Moses was Governor before Chamberlain and after SAICRDAr EVEJilXG. MARCH 2, 1S.8. put through and that the Governor can be trusted to let the bill become a law, for fear no other could be got.

This position of cunning to fortify a proposition of cheating is disreputable. It takes Governor Robinson into account, which nothing in his oharactor or the situation warrants. The Republican Legislature should bo made learn that they are criminals under duress to perform a neglected duty to the utmost not masters to dictate a policy or put through a programme of injustice. Tho Governor should lot it bo known that he will keep the two Houses in perpetual session, or till they pass a right bill. Tho Assembly, as a whole, have shown fairer tendencies than the tricky majority of tho Committee headed byAlvord.

The Assombly should upset the report of the Committee, and be just to all sections of the State in its declaration of Senate Districts, and in its assignment of the number of Assemblymen. The party which proposes less than plain justice in this thing will be repudiated by tho people of New York, and any party which assents to less than justice will not stand iu much better form. fusod to play the port assigned her because she had not tbe proper costume, and that Mr. Palmer insisted, assuring her that she need not pay tho bill until the next season. The dress was not worn except at the Bryant benefit, and wsb of no use to her, Tho vordlct wag found for the plaintiff, awarding him four hundred and fifty dollars.

The examination of Ann Lohman, known as Mme. BcstolLin Now York, on cbargss undo against her by Anthony Comstock, was continued in Now York yesterday. Justice Kilbrcth held her in $10,000. Her lawyers hurried before Judgo Donobue, of the Supreme Court, and swore out a writ of habca corpus and certiorari returnable at 3 P. M.

yesterday, oxpeotlng to savo their client from tho Tombs thereby. Mrs. Lohman was then taken before Judge Donobue, who could not hear the caso and oommlttod her to the cmtody of tho Bhoriff until tho hearing, which was let down for Tuesday next before Judgo Lawrence. The police found a man lying in the fired of one of tho Astor buildings on Broadway, near Forty fourth street, Now York, last night. Ho was In an insensible condition, and blood was flowing from a wound In the back ot hts head.

The doctor could not tell whether the cut was receirod from a blow or a fall. He died soon after reaching the hospital. The police learned that the unfortuuato man was Charles E. Pinokcey, a real estate agent, doing business la East Thirtieth street, aud they think that while Intoxicated ho wandered aloug tho streotB, fell Into tha aroaway and struck on tho back of his head. DRAMATIC AXD MUSICAL RELIGIOUS.

Tbe Church of Home at be Present Day True fcreatness In Character and Holiness Twofold. Object of Church Workblp Gratuitously Advertising Insersoll Beck leas Publication of Humors Hazing at College and at Home The Great Question of the nay, Etc, The Catholic Review holds that in one sense tho Ohnrcb was never in a more flourishing condition than it is In at the present moment Never before, it says, did the great Catholic body, a body swollen to suoh enormous proportions, manifest such a signal unity of faith, of charity, or purposo, of devotion to tho See of Peter, of filial submission to tho laws of God and of His church, of ths noble spirit of self sacrifice, But on tho other hand, in a mere worldly point ot viow, tho prospect is not so bright. Says the Review Leo XIII. indeed sits in the Chair of Peter for outwardly and visibly there is little else (ban the Chair of Peter left to him. The States ot the Chureh have gone.

Bbe is as bare of temporal possessions, of land and rulo and political dominion to day as she was nineteen centuries ago. The time and the scene are suggestive of comparison. It neods no great strain of the imagination to picture Leo XIII like Peter entering tho pagan city of the Crcsarj. Is there so vast a difference in morals, In tone ot thought, in habit of mind, in contempt and hatred of the Church of Christ, between tho king who rules in Home to day and tho Pagan rulers of old Rome 7 Is thero a less bitter hatred of the Church In tbe hearts of modern pa 'ans than In those of old 7 Is the opposition to her growth and development less Intense now than it then was Are the cal umuios against the Christians less malicious and absurd in the nineteenth than they wore in tho first century 7 TBCE GREATNESS IN CHARACTER AND HOLINESS. The subjoined extract is taken from an editorial In tbe Ctristian Intelligencer; Heal greatness consists of character, and obaraoter is a thousand times more influential then culture.

Holiness is the dory and also the power of a man. It is not necessary to have money, or special intellectual power and training, or unusual physical strength and health in order to meet tho domands of tbe time, as far as human nature can, and to exort an Irresbit blo power for good over a wide circle. Holiness we can all have, wilhout money and without price.

In place of his usual discourse Mr. Beecher exousod himself from remaining at the meeting on tbo ground of his engagement with the Thirteenth, and spoke as follows of his aoceptano'e ot bis new position: I shall say but a few words to night, as I have mado another engagement for this evening, of which you may have Beon some notice in tbe daily papers. I have promised to be present for the first time at one of tbe drills of tho Thirteenth Iteiment, as its chaplain. It scorns fit that under tbo ciroumstances 1 should make a short statement to you of the reasons which led mo to accept tho place when it was offered to me. It was not, as you may rcaddy suppose, because I had nothing to do and because I wanted to fill up vacant time.

It was not because I bad any special military giftB, cr that any especial military proclivities led mo to delight in such a position. I was as muoh surprised as any one could bo wlieu a request waa mado by Colonel Aiutou that I should b. coino the Chaplain of tbo Thirteenth Bagiment, and I was iuforrjiod that it was tho unanimous wish oHho oincera of the regimont that I should accept the place. Aud tho first impulsu I felt on receiving tho invitation was to Bay uo, but the eecoud impulse was in th nature of a query whether thero was not somo duty here. The question was not exactly, "Should you acept tho piaco?" but tt was rather, "Why should you not accept it Is it not ominontly wiso that a body of young man organized as a forco of citlzon soldiers should have a chaplain 1 In au organization oi this kind, made up of youug men exclusively, is there not a peculiar kind of poril 1 is not a bo.ly of this kind, resembling in noma icspects a social club, unrestrained, and perhaps uncivilized by the presence of wonion, fraught with great danger 1 Is it not lia blo to becomo a veritable nisclstr 'm, in which young mon may bo suckod down to destruction.

It seems to me thoro Is no question that they should bo by Boino kind of moral influences, and it seemed to bo a pertinent question whether if Bomo ono should respond, I was uot tho ono to do 0. Iu my case there seemed to bn ea peclat reasons why I should respond. I was always among the foremost iu the matters lod to tho war, oud wbb forward in upholding the various meus uros of tho war, aul it hardly Beemod wise or proper fur mo to turn away from tho citizeu soldiery nf tor they had done thoir duty iu that war, thus taa tly saying that they wero of no further conBoqumco to the uatioo or to the community. And even moro than all this wa3 tho cousideratiou that tnauy of tho young meu or Ibe regiment arc members of my own flock here. And if it is wise and prudent to bavo a citizen sjldi properly equipped, and ready at all tlmos to serve as a background of support for tho civil authorities, It is cettumly well to have them fortified and btrengthonod by all THE OOOD INFLUENCES it is Dos'ible to throw around them.

Al! this might be a reason for yon to Bay to mo, "It is undoubtedly right lor Bomo ono to go, but not for you but the officers of the regiment wero kind enough to say that it I would accept the position I woul not bs expected to devote a great deal of timo to it. Tuey would only expect of mo that I should preach to tho regiment once a year, and bo present at thoir drills once In a while, as I could make it convenient. In fact thoy left It to me to do nido what the moasure of my duties sbou'd bo. And so because I am ono of tbo old citizens of Brooklyn, and because am, in some sense, ths father of many of theso young meu, therefore I did accept tho office, and I go to night not simply aa a pleasure, but hoping to do them good. I want to help them as soldiers, ss well as individuals, for I don't like to have anything to do with a thin that doesn't go.

If thoy are going to havo a shabby regiment one iu which everything Is going to bo at sixes and Beveua why, they will hrvvo to got another chaplain pretty quick. In taking this step thou 1 hope for your prayers and sympathy, and I hopo wo sbtill have tn the Thirteenth the formation of a thoroughly good reglmnt and ono that we may bo proud of. 1 say tho formation of a regiment, because although it is nn old regiment and ouo with a worthy rooonl, its ranks aro not now lillod. But wo hope it is entering nn a new llfo, and that an impetus shall be givon to It that will rendur it iu tb prosperous than ever. At any rate, 1 hopo you will bavo its wll be ins; at heart, if for no other sako, at.

lortst for my sake, for i should not liko to do anything lit whiuh I should not huvd tho prayers and sympathy of my people. CURRENT EVENTS.

The Pastor of Plymouth Church Indncted into the Chaplaincy His Address on the Occasion A Brilliant Martial and Social Scene at the Armory A Promenade Concert, Battalion Drill and Dress Parade. An event of special importance occurred last evening In the history ot the Thlrtoonth Regiment, N.

G. 8. X. one of the leading and most popular military organizations in the olty. Between 6,000 and 7,000 ladies and gentlemen from the best walks of life assembled at the splendid armory, at the junction of Flatbush avenue and Hanson placo, and for over three hours endured with resignation all the Inconveniences ot a tremendous rush la consideration of tho enjoyment which ha 1 been prepared for them.

The occasion was the formal Introduction of Rov. Henry Ward Beeohor to the regiment as their chaplain, a position which he accepted after earnest solicitation on tho part of Colonel David E. Austen and other officers of the regiment, who looked with muoh favor on Mr. Beocher's appointment. THE CEREMONY OP SWEABISO IN THE CHAPLAIN and presenting him to the regiment was performed with all tbe eclat that magnirioout inuslo, imposing martial movements uui brilliant social surroundings could bestow.

Had. the regiment been on the point of departing for the soene of war, thoro oould not have been a greater civic attack on the armory. At bait past seven o'clock, fashionable humanity might be Been hu rylngfiom all directions to this point, and tho doors soon got obokod up and a lino had to bo formed wbioh extended over a block. This rush continued for over an hour, until it became a question with tbe Managing Committee, wholbcr tt would be Bafo to admit any moro visitors. Every Inch of the space which had been set OBido for their accommodation having been exhausted.

A goodly portion of tbo vast drill room had been diverted from its usual purpose, and rows of seats bad beou placed along tbreo of its sides, tbe front ones being resirvud for the special guests. T'hAirn flllA1 nn atm Mina rnnlriitv nnrl thnn thnrn V.v was a scramble tor an observation point either in tho galleries or from the floor above, whero tho company's rooms are situated. Many even ascended to the top of tho building, where tho rifle rauge iB located for tho purpose of catching a glimpse at tho grand display hundreds of feet below them. Itov. Heory Ward Beecher's first entrance into military life was of courso tho special loadstone of attraction.

No moro military parade, however imposing, and no mn3ic, however sweet, oould have commanded the crowd and excited the intorost which tbe affair last evening did. That Mr. Boeobor was the bright particular star of the occasion was evidenced whon ho made his appearance amid the loud aad prolonged applause of the spectators, although there was much disappointment that ho DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE MILITARY DRESS of his rank, as It was generally expeoted ho would do. Mr. Booohor and his party, accompanied by Captain J.

Fred. Aokorman, the Chairman of the Commttteo on Reception, and Lieutenant Trussel), reached the armory at about 9 o'clock, when regiment was engaged in battalion drill. This was succeeded by dross parade, during which the presentation ceremony took placo and Mr. Bcechor made an address. The promenado concert, which had boon interrupted by theso interesting exercises, was then resumed and continue! till after 11 o'clock, uftjr which tho vlsitora had all withdrawn and left the armory to its accustomed loneliness.

Tho concert by DoYorall's Baud was a treat iu itsolf, for seldom lias hotter music been h. ard in an armory. It was divided into two parts, botween waioh top drill aud piesoutation woro Baudwichod. Tho first part of tbe musical programme was as follows: 1, "Priest's War March," Irim "AthMW. 2.

AndaufcOHud Polja Tronibonj solo Boucourt and at itB closo tbo band moved from the centra of tho to one of the wlua ani THE ASSEMBLY WAS SOUNDED. In exactly eijht minutes attor too usual bust le attending the mustering of a regiment, tho members of which were, as might bo expected, scattered through the various parts of tho building, each man had obonl dorod his rifle, join jd bis conipauy and was in lino.

Lieutcuaut narrison acted as AJjutatit of the day, and from tho nine companies formed ten oommands of twolve (lies. The companies with thole com nanders wore as follows Company Captain David; Company Captain Baldwin; Company Captain Pedrlneelli; Company D.JCaptain Company ant Moron; Company Captain Dillont Compiny Captain Tinkon; Company Lieutenant Grum Company nant Clear. When formed for drill tho ton commands wer as follows 1, Captain Baldwin; 2, Captain David; 3, Captain Pedriucolli; 4, Lieutenant Moran; 5, Liouienant drum; 0, Lieutenant Gear; 7, Captiln Captain Brown; 9, Captain Dillont; 10, Captain Hempstead. The mon wero dreasod in fatigue uniform, with cross bells and white gloves, and in a general sense may bo said to have prosontod a satisfactory appearance to tho trainod military eye. There wore a groat many young men in the ranks, who have not yet reached their full Stature, but it wan evident from tho mannor in which thoy held up thoir heads among the veterans that they have the stuff from wbicb good soldiers are made.

When tbe alignment had beon completed and Lieutenant Harrison advanced to band over the command to Colonel Austen, the audiencs burst into long and enthusiastic applause, which was frequently ropoated during the subsequent drill whon any movement was well executed. The drill Is what is known as the School the Battalion, embraced formation into and marchiog in fours, right and loft, odI umns of companies and columns of divisions. The drill was, on the whole, exceedingly creditable, although a fow mistakes were made, which were quickly rectified by tho presence of Lieutenant Colonel Beadle ond Acting Adjutant Harrison, who rendered valuable assistance to Colonel Austen. It is ovldcnt that tho latter, who has tbo reputation of being ono of tho best drilled officers in tbo State, is determined to bring bis floe command to tbe highest point of perfection attainable. After tho battalion drill the men joined their own companies preparatory to THE DRESS PARADE, which thero is no exaggeration in sayiug was one of tbo most imposing which bos ever taken place in this city.

Tho sound oil" by tho full band and drum corps, undor the direction of Drum Major Smith, was splendidly execntr tho music being of tho most imposing character and tho movements of tho men especially graceful and intricate. In reBpor.se to tho goldon wand of tho Dram Majjr the musicians played and moved a pieco of machinery. Tho "sound oil" was loudly applauded. The dress parade drill was moro porfoctly executed than that of the School of tho Battalion, tho cominaui moving thoir muskets liko ono man, Whon Colons! Autuu had put them throutth the manual of arms, ho stepped to the placo whsra Mr. Beecher and his party woro Bitting, and having taken tho nw chaplain by tho hand, walked to the front, whore the interesting ceremony of presentation took place.

REMARKS OF COLONEL AUSTEN. Fellow Soldiees of the Thimeenth Reoimest I have the pleasure of presenting to you a gentleman who noeda no introduction at my hands to either tho citizens of Brooklyn or to my follow soldiors of the National Guard, of our State, llev. Heury Ward Beocher, Chaplain of tho Thirteenth Regiment. Applause. BESIAItK8 OF BEECHEH.

I am not now for the first timo made acquainted with lhis organization. Tho Thirteenth Itexmient has a oame belonging to the City ot Urookly.i, which Is an honor to tho oity and in wbioh tho city rojoices. I tbereforo deem it an honor to have boen selected as your chaplain. Tbe duties of tho position aro to bo sure, not onerous they ara moro bonorablo than bur aenaome but ouch as thoy are, I shall endeavor to discharge thorn, faithfully, and to be, as far as in me lies in my own narrow sphore, all that which I suppose every honest and bonoroble man among you moans to be in lbs spbero. Time was when regimental formations were regarded somewhat In the nature of BportB, having in theui moro of show and the grotiflo.ition of vanity than of serious work; but wo have iu the last twenty years passed thriugh scones which have sobered the minds of our people and educated thom to tho value of our aoldiery.

And only within this last year, we have passed through intestine troubles which have taught us the lesson, or should have taught ub tho lesson of the great value of citizen soldiery. In Europe the interests of nations have demanded standing armies and from the nature ot the people and from the nature of their Institutions aud from tbo long infiuenco of historic association tho standing armies of Europj have been a perpetual menace to the liberty of tho people. To day Europe expends tbreo millions of dollars a year, in the support of her standing armies. They are moth, a waste and a corruption. In our land there has sprung up from tbe very beginning a great prejudice against a smuu ing army.

Wo hate permitted only a smtll one to bo lorrnoa mat we giory in uuu uouur um wo uejjeuu upon our citizen soldiery as our main instrument for intestine defense and for the defense of tbe country at large wbonever foreign invasion is threatened. Lt us hope that you will never, and that your successors will nover, be called into tbe field again in any such war aB has already transpired but it is within the province ol probability that you may bi called on time ond time again as tho right hand of the police, and as nuoh I regard you as ominont police. I cbd, theroforo, hardly exaggerate tha importance of haviiig wail trained regiments of men not raw men brought together under circumstances of excitement, not knowing each other, not vorsd in tho duties of cit.zcn soldiery, but men thot are Uir mihlr nracticed and well commanded and that can both do and abstain from doing according to the ne oessitlss of tbe cbo iu any civil emergeucy winch may call thorn forth. Your name and your reputation aro BUcb, I havo no doubt, that should you be called out yon will be found doing work as honorable as you have done in aays gono dv. iu uupo iun, mwo wobbles which lie la our horizon will pass away, and that, if thero bo any storm, it shall be one of those refreshing ones which clear tbo air and leave things better afterward than they wero before.

May I not express the earnest desire whloh 1 have, since now I may coll myself a member of this regiment, that you nlfill your duties not only with alacrity, but with such a pride as that your name shall be second to that of no other regiment in this gcodly olty? May I not hope that those companies may be filled up with such men as shall be fit companions far those already here? May I not hope that you will put yonr heart and your honor into this service, and fulfill every duty, not only in a lagging and perfunctory way, but with such a sense ot pride and honor as shall make those who mention your name proud of you. Already th Brooklyn Thirteenth has won a name to bo honored. Let it grow more and more illustrious, and as timo goes on and we pass away, may others take oar places that sbail fill up tbe measure 01 tbe glory of this goodly company of oitlzen soldiery. Gentlemen, I tender to you such service as may lie In my power. I shall so far identify myself with you hereafter that I shall be subject to yonr call, and In any way in which I may serve the interests of this city and this State; by serving you, it la fox me to obey your reqU63t.

and to be present on every occasion when there aholl be any use, or supposed use, of my appearance, Applause. At the oloso of Mr. Beeober's remarks tbe parade was dismissed, and the visitors had an opportunity ot inspecting the various parts of the Mi. Beacner and his party, accompanied by Colonel Austen, made a brief CALL AT EAOH OP THE COMPANX BOOMB, in all of which he roceived a warm and enthusiastic reception. He expressed his gratification at finding that the body over which he Is to preside, in a certain sense, aa spiritual adviser, are eo well provided with home comforts.

Altogether ha waa delighted with his first military excellence, and promised to frequently call up and see the "boys." In Company H. room (Captain TlenJten) a beautiful floral tribute, with the word "Weloome to our Chaplain," had been arranged, and was presented to Mr. Beecher on his arrival there. Most of the audience remained till tbe elose of The Queens County Eailroad Eepeal Bill in the Assembly. Who is Responsible for tbe Delay Mr.

TVaring's Bod Management The Milt men Before the Railroad Committee In Reference to Freight on Milk The Apportionment Bill. Special Correspondence of the Eagle. Albany, March 1. George William Curtis a few years ago began a speech nt a Republican Convention with this remark, "Plain words are best." Tho remark will apply now, and plain words will be used with reference to the Queens County BaUroad Repeal bill. It is now fully two weeks since Mr.

Warlng's bill to ropeal the enabling actB relating to tho Queens County road was reported favorably by the Assembly Railroad Conimit i tee. It is nearly a month ago sinco Senator Pierce's bill passed the Senate, and yet the Assombly hangs fire upon it. Who is responsible for this delay It is just here when plain words shall be used. The person re I sponsible for this delay Is Mr. Waring, tho represonta i tivo from the Fifth District of Kings, and ho alone.

Iuetead of having the Sonate bill, which had al 1 ready passed that body and of exactly tho same intent aad hotter phraseology by the As Bombly Railroad Committee, he must needs have his own bill reported in order to gain Bomo vory doubt ul proslige. Thero was delay In this, because tho As aenibly bill mast go back to the Sonate for passage. But before this was done, he had agreed to a bill which, if passsd, would have revived tho fraudulent company. When, however, this bill was reported, through his lack of ktiowlcdgo of parllatueutary rules and his outiro absence if skill, ho managed to fail in obtaining an advancement of tbe measure. Besought and begged by the friends ofNhe bill, by Senator Jacobs aud others, he has poreistently rofused to allow Mr.

Worth, who certainly does have parliamentary skill and tae friendship of the leaders, and lu whoso bands it would be safe, to assist him. Had ho yielded, the bill would, by tho first part of last week, HAVE BEEN A LAW. But no he seems to fear that te would have some prcBtige in the matter, and assumed to believe that he and he alcno of the delegation from Brooklyn had tho confidence of the House. Ho would accept no assistance Yesterday morniug, tbe bill having been advanced to tho first Committee of the Whole, not full, he was begged and imi'Iored to endeavor to call It up, but he sat like one dazed and said nothing. This morning the bill waB to have come up, but Mr.

Wariug last night took it into his head to return to Brooklyn, but first leaving strict injunctions and exacting pledges that the bill should not In his absence be moved. As a result, the bill its place pa General Orders. Tho disousBiona upon the Exoise'fiill, and others affecting New York, have taken up so much time ihat the list of General Orders has beoome very loug, and now, this bill having once been al its head, is at its foot, comequently it will not bo considered for several weoks unless it can ba again advanced. But this is not an easy matter, for members are beginning to be anxious about their own moasuros and will Icok with disfavor and jealousy upon alt bills that are preferred to theirs. From the moment that his bill was introduced, Mr.

Waiing's connentiou with tho moasure has been a reoord of blundering. Of course ho is not to be blamed for his lack of experience. Every Member and Senator lu the Legislature, was once as lucxporienced as he. But he is to bo most severely blamed for not accepting advice of those known to be heartily iu favor of the passago of the bill and for not letting thoss persons assist him to a pass aso of tho bill. Tho men are Jubilant, and it is rumored that tUero is a plau in preparation to revive tho scheme.

This delay, for which MR. WAKING 13 BESPONSI3M, has given them amplo time to perfect these Cu brief, plain words, if the bill to repoal tbe enabling acts relative to the Quons County road fails to become a law this session, there is just one person to bo charged with tho responsibility of its failure and that person is Mr. The coniuiiiteo of milknieu who came up to appear belore the Railroad Committee in advocacy of the bill to reduce tuo rates charged for tho TBANSPOr.TATION OF MILE by tho railroads of the State, oame prepared with strong facts. At a very late bjur last night thoy lu peitiug a heJiring before the Committee, and theso were the fads submitted for tho consideration of tho Committee Tae charges now obta nia upon all roads oxc3pt tJo Erie orn CO cents a can on tho Krie 55 couls, but tho ferriage brings it up to 60 oauts. Tuis is at the rate of per quart.

From Queens County tho charges Is 80 cants, aud lie'ico they aak the exemption of tho Long Island road from tho provisions of tJe bill. At the rates named above, this is 55 cents a hundred. Thoy prove that on fourth clais freight, iu which milk, by roason of weight nud bulk, should be only 1Q to 15 oents per huodrod weight is Iu drat class freight, in wnich iB clashed feathors, of great bulk, arc only 23 to 29 cents per hundred weight. Even if milk was clashed in the first classes at this rate, the charges would be 02 cents par can of 110 pouads, and not SS, as at present. Taking the Erie road as an Instance, thoy show that it carries cans por night, making receipts alone for this ite of $2,200 pjr night, and deductlnx the running expenses of Iho train, with $2,000 net profits.

Even at this showing, the proposition of the bill is only to reduce to 40 cents por can, and then tbe roads wiU receive $3 for every $3 for expenses. There will be anothar hearlDg upon tho bill. This morning Mr. Alvord presented his APPOBTIONMENX bill. The telegraph of to day informed you of its provisions as it relates to Kings Couoty.

The bill 1b made a special order for Friday next, a day when members desire to leavo for home, and hence it will be progressed and again bo made a special order for some other day In the following week. Tho wily and slippery Alvord is again at his tricks of delay but I am certain that tho sturdy Republican friends of apportionment will not support him In his demands, for they do not follow him in his lead in this mattor at all. There was no debate this morning. Tho Committee on Comm9ro9 aud Navigation will go to Brooklyn to morrow to investigate tho books of tho Uuton Ferry Compaay. This Committee Is oomposod of Senators Ddvonpjrt, Sessions, Rockwell, Hogan and Oakley, and will oomo armod with authority to take testimony from the officers of the company and to put tho books and papers of the company in evidence.

Tho bill oxtending tbe time for the payment ol tho bonds issued for the payment of tho cost of erecting tbe Town Hall at Flatbush, was reported favorably this morning. The bill was introducod this morning. Tho Legislature has adjourned until Mondny evening. Seacoal. TALUAGE'S TALK.

IMM'Uinir tlie Passajre of ilie Silver Bill Opposed to tlie Measure, anil In Ilrror Tlie Country Will Not Be Ituined by lt Times jlbuiul. Mr. Talmage made tho passage of the Silver bill the subject of hie lecture last eveniDg. There was a large congregation present. He sai Thero can bo no mistake as to what has been the chief ovcqt of the past week.

At a quarter of two o'clock yesterday, tho Speaker's hammer fell, and abovo the veto ot the President, by a suffrage of 196 to 73, the House of Representatives ot Washington, passed tbe Silver bill. The Senate agreed with tho decision by a vote of 4fi to 10. There is no institution secular or religious, which does not feel either a thrill of anxiety or of exhilaration. Nay, the subject talked of today, on tbe Bourse, aud in the liauk of England, and through all iho commercial houses of the world cis Atlautic aud trausAtlajitie has been the rsmoneti zation of silver. Btaudmg in this Frilay evening lectureship months ago, I deplored the pis sat'u or such a bill.

My feeUmjB iu regard to nave not e'jnuged. The most of tho newspapers ot tho Tint "nave battled the idea of that bill, but, notwithstanding all, br an overwhelming majority, tho bill Las become a law "What is your position now 1" you ask. I answer, it it one of confidence in God and of utter disbelief iu the piopbeoics of rum to this country. Applause. What thl vote of 190 to 73 moan 7 It means that there are two honest sides to the question.

It Is DEMANDING TOO MUCH to ask mo to believe that the 196 mon who voted for the bill were bought up. It is too much to ast me to believe that the 196 are not honest in their action. So far as I know them, the men on tho one eiJe of this qnestion aro ns good and truo ami patriotic as the men on tho other Bide. Opposed to the bill you find onr Senator whose iutegrity has not been disputed oven by his enemies; while in favor of the bill is Alexander H. Stephens, whose Incorruptible virtue all sections admire, and who said to me in a private conversation a few weeks ago: "Unless the silver bill pass, in six months thers will not be 200 business houses in New York able to stand." When, then, you find on both sides the discussion men of unquestionable, honesty, you must at least respeot their opinions.

It is easy, in the heat of discussion, to 6ay that this bill is the first step toward complete repudiation. I answer that, out of the one hundred and ninety six hn voted for the bill. I bellevo there aro at least ono hu drod and eighty who would sacrifice their right arm rather than vote for the repudiation of our national debt. Applause. As many of my friends aro busy malting prophesies adverso and terrific, I make my prophesy to night, Ihat tho Lord God who has nover lorsaken this nation wlU not forsake it now, and that our finances will somoiiow be reoonstructod, ond that not far from now the shrinkage of values will entirely cease, and that instead of national debt and national death, we shall have national resurrection.

AppUuae. It Is my opinion that nevor In tho hlatsry of this country have wo hid a Congress mora fairly elected or more desirous of doing their duty than tne present Congress, Dd while I should have voted "no" overy time on that bill, if I had been called Upon to vote, I will just as vehemently oppose the attempt to announce ruin and desolation as a consequence ot Its passago. Ever since I was fivo years of age I have hoard that tbia country was goine to ruin, and have not seen it yet. Laughter and appltuse. It was so in Harrison's time, in Tyler's time, in FHuuro's time, in Buchmau's liuio, in Abraham Lincoln's timo, as iu our time.

In other words, we are apt t. think that things aro certain to go to ruin If they do not go onr way. I believe with tho minority vote on that subject, but I think it Is quits as probable tbot 196 were right as that 73 were right. Let mo say that the worst possible thing for you, merchants and bankers, to do will be to go into your stores and your counting houses and enlarge upon THE WOES THAT ABE TO OOME, and tho amount of onr bonds that will corns borne from Europe, and the stagnation ot trido and the collapse of everything. Out of Iho forty million people in this oonntry, about three milUon are croakers, and those three million croakers are the chief hindrances of our national prosperity.

One man with tbe dumps will give fifty others the dumps, Laughter, We want corps of financial missionaries turned out into Wall street, Stale street and Third street.to preach a gospel of cheerfulness. Silver bill or no silver bill, the day of redemption for American finances draweth nigh. There will soon be a flutter in all the folded sails of our shipping, and European capitalists will always want American investment. Talk about losing all their faith in us where will they put their money? This is tbe only continent at pesos. All Europe Is aqalver.

Though a peace may be patched up for a little while In Europe, as long ai France hales Germany and England hates Russia, and Hungary and Poland are only waiting that long unanswered prayer (or ths earthquake ot omonoipatlon and Turk and Muscovite with bloody bands are clutohing for eaoh othora throats, and Italy Is ezpeotant of collision between temporal and spiritual power last so long the peace ot Europe will not fast, with the going out ot this Congress the last bitterness of intornational strife will have ended, Mo wonder that It is taking many years to pay for the tour years' banquet of blood.

Hoiv BrooKlyn Can Save 3500,000 Per Annum. At present the taxpayers of the City of Brooklyn ara required to pay for tbe support of various office holders por nuuuui more than thoy would ho required to pny were the Government conducted iu thoir interest and not in the interest of men who live upon the public. Without going into details, at present, we assert that no person acquainted with our affairs will say that tho following retrenchments could not onsily bo made' without, iu the least, impairing tho efficiency of any branch of the public service Iio.ird of Kdnu.ilioll IfS.l.OM iiy Works Tho Jail 0 Aldermen 25.CO) cwitios iio.m llCO Ch liter ib i'ltuDcpartuiont tW.iVU Total The additional twouty five thousand needed to round out th hah million can be obtained by abolishing unnecessary minor offices, which the Eagle has hitherto mentioned. In tho figures bore given we have kept far within tho limits of the possible. Bor instance, we nay that the City Works Department can be run for $50,000 less than it is now costing.

President Massey says that but for tho opposition of Bennett and Flaherty, who are determined to mak3 the public maiutain all their political abettors or personal friends, ho could make a reduction of $100,000 p0r ftu linm, and is prepared to show how the reduction can be made "without in any way injuring the legitimate working force of the Department. The saving which we refer to iu the Boaid of Education can be more than made by simply wiping out the academic classes. It is safe to say that the expenditure of the educational department might be reduced with no other effect than to enhance tho value of the schools for the work they were designed to accomplish. How more than $20,000 per annum can be saved on the Jail has been so often shown in the Eagle that to reproduce tho figures would be to waste space. The saving on tho Al dermen can bo made by discontinuing the payment of salary to the Much better men can be got to serve the city for nothing than are obtained under the present system.

Tho saving on the Charities will easily be made if the bill recently introduced for the reorganization of the becomes a law. On tlie item of salaries alone there will be clear saving of $. per annum. On tlie outdoor reli. there will be at leant ASO.Oiiii saved, nobody familiar with the Department thiil by the practice of general economy 000 more e.iu be saved.

The ivhioU we have credited to the Police can be waved by paying (he elder of the force jit, 000 per annum instead of SI, 100, and nutkiug the new members begin cilery of M)0 aud work up. The 50,000 chftvvc to Oie charter changes proposed by Senator l'k iee will bo obtained by wiping out the throe headed OoruiMssioiiK and I tie tliivo nmiecisiar.t tie pnrtments specified iu th." bill. Tito (harmed to the fire Department will bo saved by making the same rates of reduction iu flic salary list which we have applied to tho Police. To give the taxpayer the relief here suggested would not require (lie knife of retrenchment to be run very deep. Every public servant will be liberally paid after the changes hero suggested shall have been carried out.

Indeed, they will be fur more liberally paid than tho ttispayiug workingmen of the community are. It is not question, however, whether this saving will be made, It must be made, and the politicians who try to prevent it will find themselves swept away by public sentiment. Money is getting scarcer every day. The tax rate of Brooklyn must be reduced to at least three per cent. To many property owners even now a three per cent, tax amounts to confiscation.

We can iu no other way roduce the tax rate thun by applying business principles to the conduct ot our affairs. Men that are not needod must be discharged, and mou who are needed and are employed must be content with the same rates of compensation which obtainB among those who contribute to maintain thorn. Reapportionments Under Mr. Alvord's bill Queens and Suffolk are made the first Senate District of the State. That would be a Democratic district.

Tho three next Senate Districts are located in Brooklyn, Kings County only having one new Senator allotted. The Second Senate District is proposed to be made out of the First, Third, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Twentieth audTwenty socond wards. Tho Third District is proposed to bo made out of the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh. Eleventh, Nineteenth, Twenty third, Twenty fourth and Twenty fifth wards and the countvy towns. The Fourth District is proposed to be made out of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeouth, Eighteenth r.ud Twonty iivst wards.

And the county is allotted twelve Assemblymen. Ot the Second District the First, Third, Twentieth and Twenty second wards are Republican, while the Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Twelfth are Democratic. There would be a net Democratic majority in the district, but the vole would be close. Tho proposed district would begin, say on the Heights, run along State street to Hanson place, in one direction, down Court street to Red Hook in another, on Fourth avenue to Greenwood in anoti up Hanson place through the area bounded by Portland, Myrtle, Washington and Allan tic avenues, taking iu the Var.der bilt avenue aud the Park region, the Gowanus region, Twelfth Ward, mid edging into tho Tenth Ward from say Third street back toward the City Hall as far as Bond on tho east ami Smith on tho west aud Pacific on the north. The district would look like a gridiron struck by lightning.

It would be an outrage and a comedy, but not without a purpose. That purpose is to absorb the Democratic country towns aud Second and Fifth wards into such Republican wards as tho Seventh, Eleventh, Nineteenth, Twenty third and Twenty fifth, adddiug on the doubtful Fourth and Twenty fourth. Tho line which began iu this proposed district in the Second Ward, near Fulton Ferry, would reach to Queens County in one direction and nearly to Bushwick in another, while it would deploy on either side of upper Fulton street and take iu Bedford to St. John's Church and the Orphan Asylum territory iu another direction. It, too, would be a monstrosity, to make a Republican district, if possible.

The Fourth District would be made on purpose to "assure" another Republican district, the Democratic Fourteenth being swallowed up in the Thirteenth, Sixteenth aud Twenty first, whilo the other wards would have a Radical slant. We speak to the permanent tendency of all these wards iu polities. On these accounts the bill is' unjust, unequal and a piece of political scoundrelism. Tho proportion of Senators is one too few and of Assemblymen two too few but if this unjust ratio has to ba suffered, the Senate districts should be made responsive to ttie constitutional demand of contiguous territory, not tortured to try to get two Rcpublicfau Senators for 40,000 voter6 at the most of that party, to oiie for C.0,000 Democrats. The party that tries that allotment will get no Senators at all from tho people of this city.

Let the districts be equitably arranged at least. No Gerrymandering for either party should be allowed. If if is done, the Supervisors here will retaliate by making districts, so that not one of the twelve or thirteen Assemblymen can by a miracle or an accident be a Republican. That would be aB bad on the other side. there be fair play both rides.

New York City esteems herself to have equal grounds of complaint. Her press is unanimous in com plaining of the injustice of awarding that city only two more Assemblymen than her present proportion. It is nowhere maintained ttAt the allotment either to Brooklyn or New York is just. The hope is expressed that the degree of injustice perpetrated cau be safely i Scott and he knows whereof he speaks. Chnplalu anil captain Ulonry Ward Bcechor.

The selection of Colonel Austen, commanding the Thirteenth Regiment, of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher as chaplain, with tho rank of Ca'ptain, was completed last night by tho formal acceptance and commissioning of Mr. Beecher, who made a few remarks to tho force, on an occasion which attracted large numbers of people, and which we report in another column. From to day Mr. Beecher has a full right to the rank, uniform, title, and when on active service tothepayofa Captain.

It is, as Captain Henry Ward Beecher that ho comes to the front of observation for a brief season. Actually the Chaplain's duties will comprise the preaching of an annval sermon to the Thirteenth, as that is all the work which the piping times of peace demand of the religious representative on the roster of a regiment of militia. There can ho no question that the sermon will be a good one, for tho Captain is not addicted to preaching any other kind. If such a subject as a sermon could properly bo'made the subject of a wager in advance, any porsou would stand to win who would bet that the text of Chaplain Beecher's discourse to the boys would, in three cases out or four, be from aomc of Paul's writings, or at least that tho topic would relate to some phase of Paul's life or thought. Paul is not ouly always in favor with Mr.

Beecher, but he is also replete with sentiments or situations which grow out of the military spirit and habits of the ago iu which he lived. Beside, he was tho moat audacious aud high strung of all tho Apostles, aud appears to have done more execution than Peter, who is generally accepted as the fighting one of the trenchant twelve. The sword of the spirit, the breastplate of righteousness, tho helmet of salvation, shod with the preparation of the gospel, fighting the good fight, having done all, stand, contending with wild beasts at Esephus, and like expressions throw on Paul's spirit and experience a great deal of military light. Moreover, he conducted hiinsolf in a way which proved himself a thorough Democrat when he refused to submit to an arbitrary arrest and when he made Folix tremble. Mr.

Beecher in whom the power of reproducing, almost of recreating, great episodes abounds, has done more effective preaching on Paul's vicissitudes and on the grit which he showed in them, than he has ever done on any other question. The men of tho Thirteenth may therefore expect to hear Mr. Beecher at his best, if they can induce him to preach a Pauline sermon with a militia twist on it. It is only by the selection of able men that the chaplaincies of rogimcnts can be lifted into importance and respectability. The successive chaplaincies of Rev.

Drs. Seaver and Duryea have proved a genuine help to the morals aud prosperity of the Twenty third. The identification of Mr. Beecher with the Thirteenth will give that organization an immediate introduction to the notice of the whole world, and will create around it a resposibility to be equal to the obligations which association with such a great man imposes. Those obligations are to be as thorough iu their discipline, fealty, efficiency, public spirit and pride of corps as ho is in his eloquence.

By such a course the Thirteenth can make themselves as distinctive in thoir regimental capacity as Mr. Beecher has in his power as a preacher, for all that genius has dono for him in his career, effort can do for them as a regiment that is effort can lift them to prominence. The new relationship was entered upon with much cordiality and equal simplicity last night. The novelty of it will soon cease, for it does not take long for the degree to which Mr. Beecher elevates an office to be appreciated by a public, in whose thought he is such a constant quantity.

The novelty gone, the permanent incidents of good fellowship, wise counsel, hospitable onone3s of feeling and stated discourse will fit thomselves into the life of the regiment, and the course and memory of them will be an historical asset in the record of the force for all the years to come. As to Excise. More people drink than ought to do so. Many of them drink moro than they should. But that is thoir business.

Thoir friends can make it their business, too, by counsel and remonstrance. The law can make it its business, the moment such persons step over its provisions or the rights and peace of others or of the general public. At present it is not tho drinking people who are doing that, but the non drinking people, who are resorting to hpying and interference which are meaner vices than drunkenness. This spying and interference are made possible by the fact that the law as it exists is impracticable. It has been so ever since the Court decided that it meant what the Legislature which passed it, never intended it should mean.

The effort of what is called tho Daly Excise bill is to get a reasonable law in place of an unreasonable one, which a decree has made wear a different meaning from what it was desingned aud understood to wear the time it was enacted. On behalf of extending that proposed law to Brooklyn, Assemblyman Worth has recently spoken at length and with very much common sense and force. There should be no division of opinion among the Brooklyn delegation at Albany on extending the provisions of the Daly bill to Brooklyn. It would promote sobriety, manliness and an end to the occupation of sneaks. It would, theroforo, promote everything which manly, mon whether they drink or do not drink, have in view.

The Reuniting Democracy. Iu the Sunday Eagle (to morrow) will bo published an account of the progress of tho reunion movement, as it may be called, among the grand divisions of the Democratic party in the State of New York. The Eagle has recently stated aud enforced the necessity of this movement, and drawn attention to tb.3 unanimity of feeling it is exciting in representative minds and quarters. We have also taken notice of the agreement of view among Democrats from all parts of the State upon the grand opportunity and equal duty of Kings County, to be the leader of leaders in this work. During the present week the press throughout the State have regarded the course of the Eagle in this stage of the party's history as a matter of the first significance.

To morrow, what the politicians and journals have been sayiug in the premises will be exhibited by tho Eagle at length to its readers, and the subject will also be treated in the new light and with reference to tho new advance which can justly be predicated of it. The disclosures made by ex Governor Moses to day show how South Carolina was made to give its electoral vote to Hayes by a few hundred votes while it was carried by the Tilden electors by an honest majority of over one thousand. Of the two hundred and sixty eight electoral votes cast for President in 187G it is now clear that Mr. Tilden received 203 and Mr. Hayes lfiG.

Nineteen electoral votes were stolen, and a great majority of tho American people were at once disfranchised, wronged and insulted. Judging from the consideration given to the veto of the Silver bill, it would seem that, while it iB possible to cheat a candidate, who was elected, out of the Presidency, it is not possible to make the man who obtains this great office unjuBtly anything more than a President in name. Who will say that fraud is triumphant, after all The annual report of the proceedings of the National Kills Association contains. tha following item I "XUe COUUClljliauiJ mace two uypuibuiuvj rag their warmest thanks to tho council and member of Hie National Rifle Association of the united mates, on behalf of the riflemen of the United Kingdom, for the friendly welcome and honpitaUtlca accorded to their representatives, for the facilities given to them for practice at the range and for the scrupulous Impartiality with which everything connacted with the matoh, down to the minutest detail was carried out. Thoir reception from first to last In the United States waa auoh as to make every member of the British team feel that the spirit of friondly rivalry in which the challenge had been receirod was fully understood and reciprocated by tho American nation." Tho report also contains details ot the match at Oreodmoor.

Philharmonic Iloiioarsitl. Whether parsimony or carelessness is tho excuse, the fact remains that at nearly every rehearsal at the Academy of Music half the audience Is compelled to do wltbont a programme. The fault may lie with tho superior Information of tbo management. Tho programme yestorday was dull enough to insure only a slender attendance, but tho public did not know It, and consequently went to the rehearsal in numbers no loas than usual. Calculating tho audience, however, by the music a lamentable insufficiency of printed programmes rosulted.

If the Bupply is left to a half wittod ushor, then ho is to blatno for not bringing enough, If not, then the mauiger should be Informed that among habitual attending there are hundreds who nover get proarammes. It is to ba hoped that this annoying oversight will bo correole 1 iu future.

The brief description of tbo composition furnished by Mr. Horatio King Is necessary to a thorough understanding of the music, and being intelligible and not too long, we can scarcely do better than roproduce it, merely prefacing it with tho remark that the composer baa not attempted to follow the poem entire, beoauso of its groat longtb, but has endeavored to civo musical form to the general impression of tho poem, Mr.

1 XT MOZART OARDKN OOSPEL TEM I A PERANCE MEKTIN" Auspices of WOMAN I CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION SLNDAY AF TBBNOONand 1 KVENINO. March Atlantic Avenue The Steam Transit Question. If there be anything or anybody in Bvook lyn that "needs a rest'' it is the property and business interest on Atlantic avenue. For a quarter of a century, at least, the residents and property owners on the lino of that thoroughfare have been kept in "hot water." It was assumed that, with tho restoration of steam on so much of tho street as lies east of Flatbush avenuo, the question of tho use to which the roadway of the entire streot should be put, was settled, if not for all time, at all events, for this generation. We are frank to sny that this is tho way tho Eagle regarded it.

The reopening of the agitation as to the use of the roadway on so much of the street as was not interfered with in order to restore direct steam connection between Brooklyn and the interior of Long Island, cau hardly fail to bo detrimental to the properly on Atlantic avenue, between Flatbush avenue and the ferry. This agitation should bo brought to a. close as speedily ns possible. We have no fault to find with tho people of the section of the city east of Flatbush avouuo in desiring to get to the ferries as comfortably, as cheaply and as rapidly as possible, but it will not facilitate their purpose to encourage them in advocating a project which is not feasible, and in which they will not succeed. Of course, if the Long Island Railroad Company wore permitted to run thoir steam cars through Atlantic avenue to the South Ferry, on the surface of the street, the problem of rapid transit could be readily solved, as it would be if the locomotive were allowed to run down Flatbush avenue, into Fulton street, and down that thoroughfare to Fulton Ferry.

Nobody lias as yet ventured to say that it is proposed to run steam cars on the surface of any portion of Atlantic avenuo lying east of Flatbush avenue. In the face of the opposition of the groat interest opposed to anything of this kind, such a proposition would be regarded as a bald outrage, aud it is not within tho power of any official authority, in Brooklyn or out side ol it, to inane it permanently successiui or endurable. So much ought to be accepted as settled, and this is the one service which tho city authorities should do for those who want rapid transit, and for those who are disturbed by an agitation which seems to them to mean a steam surface road on a street which has a fixed status and which bisects the most populous section of Brooklyn. Thero may be conditions under which the use of steam on the lower portion of Atlantic nucnue that is, the part of the street lying between Flatbush avenue and tho South Ferry wotdd be made unobjectionable to those directly interested, and possibly desir We trust there are. Until, however, tho advocates of rapid transit are iu position to submit sueh conditions, the existing agitation is fruitless to both sides I and greatly injurious to one side.

Now the citizens of East Brooklyn who are holding meetings in favor of steam to the ferries, waut a steam motor on the surface of so much of Atlantic avenue as iB not tunnelled, or they do not. If they do, they ought to bo officially and promptly assured that they cannot have it. If they do not, we will all bo in position to consider in what way we can best meet their needs, without wholly disregarding the interests of others. We think the Eaolb was regarded as committing itself in the discussion which resulted in restoring steam communication with all parts of the Island, to the maiuteuauce of the status now established. The Eagle does not think that it can in conscience or in honor aid iu changing it, without the.

assent of those interested in that portion of Atlantic avenuo lying west of Flatbush avenue. If we are not mistaken the same obligations which bind the Eagle bind also the local authorities of Brooklyn. iHoscs on South Carolina. Ex Governor Frauklin J. Moses, of So.ith Carolina, is in New York City, writing letters for the newspapers on tho inside history of reconstruction in South Carolina.

He is not a savory person, but those of whom he writ'es are just as uusavory, aud there is internal evidence in what he says, as well as corroborative evidence outside of it, which shows thai he is plenty good enough to deal with those he treats of, able to do so from an inside point ol knowledge and authority aud minded to tell a plaiu, unvarnished tale, in which ho does not spare himself a whit any more than he does his late associates. He is, too, a South Carolinian born, and he has uo inducement to withhold tho truth but much to let it out. In two letters of his which have appeared, so far, he says bluntly that there never were any Ku Klux disturbances iu South Carolina, but that they were invented by the Radicals for political effect, aud that the Tildeu Electors in that State in 1876 had a cleau. majority of 1,000 of the votes legally aud actually cast. His exposure of the Ku Klux invention takes up several columns, and goes largely into other matters.

He says that the carpetbaggers at Washington got tho Force passed to meet the cases of massacre and intimidation which they meant, to get up aud fasten on the people of the South. Iu South Carolina they mated the Force bill with legislation which forbade any arms to be issued to tho militia unless they were formed into companies of blacks and whites, acting together. This was the disarmament of tho whites, for they would not consort with the blacks in that capacity. It was the arming and drilling of tho blacks iuto a standing force of poliitcal Janissaries thousands in number. They were put under the the load of ruffians of either color, aud were systematically drilled to disturb, insult, menace aud iujure the whites.

On every prospect that the Federal army was to be withdrawn, Moses, Hubbard, Scott, Chamberlain, Dennis and the other carpetbaggers would deliberately invent or foment disturbances and would telegraph to suit to the President and to the party papers North. Moses stafes iu plain terms that every case of Ku Kluism was a put up job, that every trial of every oaso was a farce, that the juries were packed, the testimony was perjury and the accused innocent. Tho troops were kept iu the State for years in this way, and a fund was made, out of, which $2f0 reward was paid for every conviction." It amounted" to Moses says Chamberlain offered him $5,000 to award the nioner to Major" Merrill, of the Sevcpth Cavalry, who was the Federal member of the carpetbag Ring, in command of the troops. He says that U. S.

Attorney D. T. Corbin prosecuted all these cases knowing they all rested on perjury, aud claimed his blood money every time. This statement of horror Moses details and sets forth in full, and he is borne out in the items of moneys he discloses by the books of the State treasury, now under examination. The letter as to the alteration of the returns can bo very easily summarized.

Moses says that after every provision of the law had been complied with, it was found that the Tilden electors iitill had 1,000 majority. He adds that on the Sunday preceding the Tuesday when they were to declare the votes, the State Returning Board met in private with Justice Cartter, of Washington, and D. T. Corbin the United St.iteu District Attorney, and deliberately falsified the figures to give the Hayes electors a fraudulent majority all round. One Dunn, ft negro and the Controller, did the business, and the rest were all privy to it.

Moses is as particular in his Btatemont as it can be made. The etate 1 ciinst wnicu sircnetneucin me." a on cotu is map ii. an'J do what he can. Tho nooi is not of great or remarkable meD, but of the active efforts of every follower ol Christ, male in rellanca upon tho holp of the Lord Jesus. TWOFOLD OBJECT OF OHUECH WOItSHIP.

Tho aim of the public sorvicos in churoh is twofold worship and instruction, Wle 19 some churches they seem fo belittle tho exercises of worship, in others they make loo little of the preaching, Ab the niti nfetf Christian Weekly observes, a due balance and proportion sbotitd be overywhere observed Certainly tbe primary idea of our usual sanctuary services is worship. Wo speak rightly when wo call them services of "public worship." The sermon has become a part of these services rightfully enough, indeed but thoro waB worship boloro thoro was proach infi While, theu, wo give high honor to tho preaohing ot the Word by the duly accredited ambassador of Christ; whilo we are sure that It is through preaching as an instrumentality that tbe groat mass of Christians got a largo share of their ideas of troth aad duty wo put forward a plea for the more complete recozniiiou of tne duty and power and blcssiuK of worship in the services of God's house. The publio worship ol God iB a duty. The motiva that takej us to church not to be merely that we may hoar an eloquent preacher. We should attend in any case, because there God is to be worshiped.

If this idea of dut.r wore moro prevalent we shmtld have fower empty seats in our sanctuaries storms would not be considered ho eevero, oold so bitter, nor bent so intonso, GRATUITOUSLY ADVERTISING INOERSOI.L. Some time ago, while tho "Black Crook" was on ex hibilion hereabouts, many of tho writers on the religious press did their utmost to write it down, many occupants of tho Christian pulpits inveighed strenuously against it. It was asked by somo knowing pooplo at tho time whothor th'ise writors and pulpit orators were not actually in tho; pay of; tbo man or men who were "running" the "iilack Crook" for thus advertising It aud niakiug pooph curious to see it. If thay disliked tho speotjelo, tbe best thing ior them to do at tho moment was to leavo It severely alono. Ther: is muoh of this sort of advertising, says tho Baptist Weekly, being done for Colonel Ingorsoll: He has not advanced auv arguments against Christianity or any of its doctrines that aro now, end his only artillery has been impassioned and impatu.ius laugungc.

Hut it has seemed a it more hail' of the preach i fl of the lasd most 3 th? and hiB loeturi's, and a reader of the scoular pipers, taking a report of tbe Sunday Be. iii jna lor tho lait month, ruutht suppose that no was an giant whoso as'iauitson Christian voritits vert cuisine consternation nil along the lino. In many aim it soonis, as if preaching anainst Ingorsoll had taken tbo placo ot preaching Christ. It would poj.tivelv be a relief to some congregations to bo guaranteed that thoy could go through a Bt rvicc without hearing tho uian's name. RECKLESS PUBLICATION OP RUMORS.

Somo timo ago, as we veal in tho Christian tfnion, tho news went tho rounds of the press that Mr. Ingorsoll haJ invited to give ultorancs to ono of hia tirades against Christianity in a church in N. Y. Tne rumor or "tho nows" was copied ly ono paper from another, notwithstanding tho fact that the whole thing at first sight looked suspicious, to say the least. Any editor could have easily ascertained tho truth by a uote addressed to the of that church, but as was sail by tbe papor moiilionol above, the newspapers were iu too much of a hurry for a sensational item to think of such a proceeding.

From tbe Christian Union Of course we do not hold tho editor personally responsible fur all ihat appears in lu columns. Very much he must tako from ths columns of hia oontc porarios without personal vorillftition, Moro or loss chaff will mix with tho wheat in sp.te of oareful sifting; and every intelligent. reaJer recjgaiz3s that fact. Out no man has the right to repeat lo oven a sluglo neighbor an injurious report on the mere authority of ''thoy aay;" still less has ho a right to report it to tho groat publio. The wrong becomes an outrage when it is porpetratcd on a christian minister and a Christian etiuroh by a Christian pross.

A retraction Is the only amend that can be mulo; but It is only a pariial amend, and it does not atone for the serious wrong doing. HAZIKO AT COLLEGE AND AT HOME. The practice of "hazing," it would seem, has not y. entirely died out at Princeton College. Tho Christian at Work, adverling to this barbarous custom, is of opinion that the root of tho vil is not in tho colleges, but is to be found, to a largo extont, in the homos of the land.

If parents send to tho colleges boys or young men who huvo been petmtttel unoheoked to inflict oruelties on younger brothers and Bisters or companions, under the that it is all only a joke, what can be expected but that wo shall occasionally hoar of suoh excesses os bavo latoly besn witnessed at Princeton Fun is fun only when It is reasonably such to ail concerned. Tuis, evidently, cannot be the case when there is question, for Instauoe, of involuntary midnight baths in a wintry cold canal, or of wounds infliciod by pistol shots. Tho Christian at Work proceeds to say Tradition will not sanctify cruelty, and bocausa one generation of lads aftor anothar has transmitted "hazing" to its successor, that does not alter tho essential brutality of the custom. No gentleman, not to Bay Christiau, "ill cauBO suffenug aud then laugh It off as aniusenu nr, and they who thus "bully" their inferiors In ear'y llfo will develop into inconsiderate, solttsh and overbearing men. Practical joking is poor bnslnesj at tho best.

It botrays a poverty of inventiveness and a perversion of judgment, while, it baB often issued in tho diost disastrous rosults.

THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE DAT. In regard to ono of tho muoh agitated question of the day wo read in the Qohl Utile that It may bo well for all Christians to remombor, especially those who are callod upon to fulfil the duties of the ministry, that tho grent objjet of preaohing is not to couviucc mon that thero isn't a hell or Is a hell, but to lead lives ol such godliness that whether tore is or isn't will be taken out of tin category of practical questions.

Some shrewd and witty man has said wo think it was Cuapiu when queatlomid on tho mutter of his position lo respect to future punishment, that ho did notprjach to kiop men out ol boll; but to keep hell out of mon." It Is the present misery, tho present wickedness, tha presant torture of guilt, that Christian ityneeks to relievo mon from. Preach salvation efficiently and damnation becomes Bimply theoretical. LENDING BOOKS FROM PRIVATE LIBRARIES. In tho and Chronicle is found an article on the lending of books from private libraries. Tho writer of tho article lends books frequently from his library, but of course, not too easily but on certain conditions, and says that ho has never regretted doing so, even though sometimes, perhaps, a volume Is lost or nothing the better for the roallng when returned.

Does not Christian studont, asks the Kxxminer, hold his books Itko everything olso in trust for tho Master; and is he not bound to do with them all the goo.1 he can? Book Ionding to a Christian duty. The pastor or tho teacher who refuses to lend propar books to proper persons on proper occasions is as stupid as he is selfish. The writer roforred to says in conclusion: We don't, upon a mero passing fancy, borrow books that we have neither the tune, inclination nor necessity to read; nor do wo borrow of a personal friond books to which a public library gives ns freo access. We don't gtvo borrowed books to tho children to play with. Wo don't put them upon our shelves, but in a small book rack which holds only borrowed books, which no child is allowed to touch and which is a constant ratnindor of an indebtedness that must speoaily be cancelled.

We don't marK borrowed books, or turn dowu their loaves, or laava thorn spread out upon cheir faces. We do tako more caro of borrowed books than If thoy wore our own; and roturn them, as speedily as possibb. to thoir proner owners. In a worl: we try to do by others as we would have others do by ua. If alt book borrowers would do so, there would not bo such widespread, and not wholly unreasonable, reluotance to lond books.
