VARIET? SHOW. RUing "Stars" deceived Wltb Btltscs, Yells, end Derisive tbe Performance Winds Up Witk A Fight. An audience of about six hundred persons, equally divided as between tho sexes, witnessed a kind of a variety ehow in tho Maaonio Temple, Grand and Seventh streets, last night. Abont. one hundred young men stood at the end of tho hall furthest from tho stage, and aa the "artists" appeared, tho spectators were disposed to bo critical.

One of the "stars" is a ticket taker iu Carton's Variety Theatre, on Division avenue. His appearance waa grcotcd with laughter, hisses, and cries of "Cork up," "Pull down your vest," and like expressions, and the aspirant for hiBtrionic honors was forced to retire Boveral times. Anothor of the "artists" who waa announced aa making her debul undor the name of "Rosa," was greeted by tho aforesaid young fellows with uproarious laughter, applause, booting, mock kisses and ories or "dry up Betsey," "give us a rest," which forced her also to retire for tho time Doing, until the manager implored the audience to peraiifc her to act her part. The young girl so Bhamofully treated is Misb Betsey Boh ringer, who is a novice ti the stage. Even when "Little Addie," a child only seven years old, nnd quito a notod singor, at many of the church and other entertainments given last Winter made her appearance und sung portiona of a Bong which seemed' to be objectionable to the portion of tho audience beforo mentioned, she was greetod with hissea.

The affair was (or her benefit. Young though she 1b, she Is recognized as a semi professional, and at most, of the entertainments where her precociousncas would be likely to attract attention, her Bervices have been paid for. A clog dance and a "living statue" formed part of the evening's on tortainmcnt. Shortly before tho show was over, and while tho uproar with which the "star" was received was at its highest, two young follows ENGAGED IN A FIGHT, and instantly many of tho womou rushed to the door, while the men climbed on forms to witness the row. Tho consequent excitement was intense, and but for tho timely presence of an officer the mike might have been serious iu its results.

deceased appealed to the Bishop of the diocese, DrBobert Bickersteth, Lord Bishop of 1b called in England, par excellence, the Protestant Bishop." "I am truly sorry," writes his Lordship, that I cannot grant your request. The words Beguiescat in Pace are really a prayer for the dead, which is "contrary to the Protestant faith, though quite agreeable to Roman Catholic doc trines. Souls that are saved have no need of our prayers, and lost sonla cannot be benefited by them." So then it would seem that the purpose of epitaphs is not to console the living, but to confer a tangible "benefit" upon the dead. No doubt this narrow minded prelate would think the doggrel obituary verses of the Pkila. delphia Ledger quite appropriate to the consecrated churchyard which Requicsmt in Pace would desecrate.

But who, except this "love "liest of the lawn" bishop, ever dreamed that souls in heaven an epitaph, or that "lost souls" could be rodoemed by the Elegiac verses of the Poet Tombstone It might make the Calvinlstic nerves of Bishop Bickersteth shiver when we tell him that, although he utterly misinterprets tho words, which are not a prayer for the dead so much as a charitable hope expressed concerning them, yet that even praying for tho dead is not forbidden in the church of which he is a bishop, and was distinctly approved by Bishop Hall, one of the greatest lights of its hierarchy, as well as by old Sam Johnson, one of its most orthodox laymen. The Church of England's Litany for the dead, though disused for centuries, has never been discarded. The Bishop is the poorest classical scholar on the English Episcopal Bench, and quite exaggerates the force of the Subjunctive Mood. To hope that a man rests in poace is no more than to pray, as every Episcopal minister does in the Burial Service, that when we die we "may rest in Thee as our hope is this, our "brother, doth." And if the Bishop is so shocked at the mere thought of good wishes for the departed, what will he say to such a horrible address to them as that of the great poet of the Church of England, the late Bev. John Keble Come near and bless uu day by day, Ye happy spirits far away, With whom wo shared the oup of grace And why isn't he shocked at the Prayer Book, when in the Omnia Opera" it invokes tho sun, moon and stars, the snow, frost and hail, and dead men as well as dead things, to Bless the Lord, praise Him, and magnify Him for ever.

If it were not for a palace, and five thousand pounds a year, and a seat in the House of Lords, surely Dr. Bickersteth would see that he is quite out of place in so Popish a position as Prelacy, albeit Protestant be prefixed to it. Let him mind his P's, as we do, before he ugain objects to B. I. P.

on a Outdoor Belief. In arranging the regulation machinery for the giving of outdoor relief to the poor during the Winter months, the Board of Supervisors yesterday afternoon assumed as settled point that would have borne oareful discussion. Taking It for granted that outdoor relief was to be distributed by the county, the Board concerned itself only with the mode of distribution. Now it is by no means certain that the county either assists the deserving poor or does justice to the public in granting such relief. Oar experience in the past was that of every three dollars drawn from the public treasury for this purpose, at least one dollar remained in the hands of officials.

Last year Dr. Noma had in his district nearly a dozen outdoor inspectors employed at a salary of from four to five dollars a day, whose ostensible duty it was to see that none of the outdoor relief went to improper parties. But the chief effect of their inspection was to diminish the relief bill by swelling the salary account. In other words, there being but a limited amount of money at the disposal of the Commissioners for outdoor relief purposes, whatever was given to tho $5 a day inspectors had, of necessity, to bo taken from tho poor. There were some of our officials who choose to consider the achievements of tho doctor in this line as worthy of commendation, but they did not so impress the Eaglk, for it was patent to us that if the doctor's economical system were carried to its logical extreme there woidd be nothing at all left for the poor.

If ten inspectors reduced the disbursements to the poor $50 a day, it seemed clear that twenty would eat up a $100 a day and by so doing, leave nothing to be distributed to anybody outside of the Commission. This is illustrative of the point we wish the Supervisors had discussed at length yesterday. We say it is nn open question whether the county authorities ought not to abandon altogether the business of distriuting outdoor relief. The coimty institutions of Flatbush will always in some shape, wo assume, have to be continued. AVe need a hospital for the sick, an almshouse for the old and indigent and an asylum for the insane.

The utility of such places iu not doubted; the manner of their conduct is the thing we criticize. But it is clear that the business of giving outdoor relief stands in no such relation to the county government. It may be, and we assume it is, the duty of the public to assist the necessitous outside of tho almshouse as well as to take care of those within it, but conceding this it, must be proper to discuss the advantages of rival methods of distributing Btich assistance. If economy can be substituted for extravagance in the work, we believe no person will contend that we are debarred from making the improvement. Now, what we think the Supervisors might have, with profit, discussed yesterday, is whether wo cannot substitute some reasonably fair method of bestowing our outdoor relief lor the ridicn lously extravagant one that prevailed last Winter, and is likely to prevail this year.

Until recently, the county kept at Flaltmsh, a hideous training school of vice cuphoueously culled a Nursery. Children were sent there and either slaughtered by negligent keepers or brought up to be burdens upon the community. After much agitation, we succeeded in convincing the active politicians of the county that it was both duty aud policy to break up tho Nursery and distribute the children among the private orphanages of the county. The result is a saving in point of money to the public, and a vast improvement in the moral and physical condition of the children. At Flatbush under purely policnl guardians, tho outlook for the boys and girls was one of degredation at present they are encouraged by a prospect of virtuous womanhood and respectable citizenship.

Some sueh change as this wo believe to be not impossible in the distribution of outdoor relief. In Brooklyn there aro several associations conducted by ladies and gentlemen who find their reward for helping the needy in the promise of heaven to those who give to the poor, and in the approval of their own generous consciences. They apply themselves to tho relief of want and the amelioration of suffering as other generous hearts have gone to preach the Gospel of Peace or instruct the ignorant, because of tho belief that every man is under obligation to do some good thing for the world he lives in. Why cannot Kings County, if it feels disposed to give $100,000 a year in tho form of charity, put its money in tho hands of these societies for distribution. AVould not the deserving poor receive more assistance if this were done At present it is notorious that the outdoor relief of our Commissioners, like nearly everything else done by them, is used in improper ways.

Coal and groceries are given to the friends of petty politicians, rather than to widows in want, or honest families temporarily in distress. Strong, hoalthy women draw their groceries and coal with as much regularity and with as oalm a consciousness of right as any inspector of the Water Board draws his salary. This we need hardly say involves a double wrong a wrong upon the taxpayer whose money is used, aud a wrong upon the deserving poor, whose pressing needs are disregarded. That au improvement in these respects at least would be effected by making the private charitable associations of the city the agents of the public, is what wo believe. That anv change of this kind will be effected this S.

Cox to Mr. Kerr. The Times is Bound in stating that Mr. Randal's sttcoess would make for inflation, and Mr. Korr's for hard money, and its comparison of the men is very felicitous.

It says Mr. Randsl la rjtiinee mn and a politician; Mr. Kerr is a itndent and has tho ambition of a The former in a maaterol parUamentarjr tacUoa, alert, fertile in resource, minutely famUlar with the customs and powers of tho House, adrott in management and a natural manipulator of men. The latter In an able logician a rcasoncr of more than ordinary clearness and broa'dUi and better flitod for sustained disonsaion than for tho complex and eomotimea stormy scones which the House proeeata. It should not be inferred, however, that Mr.Kerrisnotapraotioalman.

He has no fondness for intrigue; but his mind is marked by strong common senac, and is by no meanB that ot a dootrinairo. It ia claimed that Mr. Randal will have tho united support of the Southern Democrat, that of some Ohio men, and that of his own delegation. This would give him a constituency in Compress that might entail consequences not easily met, for it would hamper him on tho ono side by possible committals to the Inflation heresies, and on the other by similar committals to the Southern schemes for extravagant internal improvements. Mr.

Kerr, on the contrary, will win, if at all, on the very advantageous ground of his devotion to sound financial principles, and would havo a backing that would aid rathor than embarrass him. This is but saying that Mr. Iiandal would a Speaker who would adapt himself to the House at its worst, whilo Mr. Kerr would be sueh a Speaker as would make the House what it should bo, a parliament stately and decent. The advantages of Mr.

Kerr as Speaker, and the disabilities of Mr. Randal, by his piebald support for that office, are well exhibited in the extract. Dr. Bnmes in Defense of Henry C. BoTiren.

That "great and good man," Mr. Henry C. Bowen as he was termed by Theodore Tilton before he knew as much about the character of this excellent person as he afterward learned, to his sorrow is now engaged in suing the Brooklyn for having knocked a chip off his character of tho estimated value of some three hundred thousand dollars. Now, the conductors of tho Eaolf. are ouly human.

It would be vain to pretend that whilo Mr. Bowen is after so much of our money as would set up the Patriarch for the balance of his life, we are in a position to describe the salient features of his career aud character with that appreciative exactitude which might fairly be expected of a man aftor Brother Bowen's own heart. Brooklyn has, fortunately, such a man, and he has, naturally, come to the defense of Mr. Bowen. The more intelligent of our readers, we are satisfied, will have anticipated us iu naming Dr.

Barnes as Bowen's champion. Iu their personal appearance, they bear a close resemblance to each other and in their mental characteristics they may fairly be classed as chips of tho same block. The task of eulogizing Bowon comes easy to Barnes. Ho has only to draw up a schedule of what the world does not think of him, and pin Bowen's name to it, and it will serve at once lor Barnes and for Bowen. The zeal with which Barnes rushes to Bowen's rescue in these libel eases is amusing, and it is natural.

Bowen is, in his way, a representative man, and wo aro satislicd that it is not possible to say anything about him that Barnes would not take as per sonal to himself. On the other hand, in presenting for public eonsideral ion the following flattering little portrait of Bowen, we are sure that Dr. TWrues chuckles with tho satisfaction ho feels in palming off on the public as Bowen an idealistic likeucs of Barnes. AVo quolo from the Doctor's organ Henry 0. li.nvfii is known in Urooklya almost hh j) who can flu has moved in Hti i.tv ns nuiejanl, editor aii.l plul intb.ro i fir many years.

This might be accepted as a fancy sketch of 5aniv.s, by Barnes but it does not quite d'j justice to Bowon.

Barnes would be likely to ay df himself that he is known iu Brooklyn almost as well as any other citizen who "can be named;" that ''he has moved ''in this community as merchant, editor "and philanthropist for many years." Barnes has not only but he may be to havo whirled through this community, "as merchant, editor and But Barnos' repute is local. that of Brother Bowen is national. There can hardly be an intelligent man from Maine to who has not heard something of Bowen. Barnes is, after all, but a local pretender. The reports of the Beecher scandal, for instance, have boon read wherever ho English tongue is spoken, and wherever that story went it bore the name of Bowen.

Opinion about Barnes was, and possibly is, divided. Whether he is entitled to commiseration, like his late rival, Dr. Helm bold, or deserves to have his oar nailed to the town pump, as an erratic libeler, is still an open question iu the minds of many men, who ivgiii'd his case with curiosity, if not with interest. But about Bowen's character, we believe, thcreis not anywhere any difference of opinion. Beecher and Tilton were willing to invoke the god of battles, and to fight a duel a Vtiv.rince, but whenever Bowen appeared on the scene their mutual hate seemed to die fi or to be directed against him.

Morris and Tracy, Fullorton Porter, Beach and Evarls could not agreo on any singlo point of the ease in controversy between Beecher and Tilton, but they were iu perfect accord about Bowen's relation to the case, and to all the parlies couccrned in it. That Barnes means all he says in extolling Bowen's character, wo aro not disposed to doubt if Bowen, in return, can get somebody to indorse Barnes, the transaction will be complete. Barnos tries to convince himself that the Eagle is using "frantic efforts" to conciliate Bowen. On the contrary, the Eagle is entirely willing to go into au investigation of Bowen's career in the different roles in which Barnes presents him for consideration. That Bowen will be able to show, as a merchnnt, that he was so scrupulously honest nnd exact in all liis dealings that no man ever lost a dollar through him all the creditors of tho old firm of Bowen lIcNamee will, of course, be able to testify.

AVe propose to bring up Bowen's claims to be considorod an editor in a scow or more of libel suits on our own account, as soon as we are clear in our mind that the quarrels of editors are fair subjects for judicial consideration. Bowen, as a philanthropist, will be a spectacle for gods and men to contemplate with admiration. AVe have no hope, however, that half the number of poor clergymen, scattered throughout the country, who havo mementoes of Jiowen's philanthropic efforts in the shape of Noi hern Pacific Railroad bonds, will be able to find room inside the City Court Boom. Tho Eagle modestly disclaims, however, the possession of the ability to libel Henry G. Bowen.

Where Dana and AYiikcs, and Tilton and Heee'ier, and Tracy and Porter havo failed it would be presumptuous in the Eaoi.e claim to have succeeded. The Conviction of Stephen Simmons. The case of Stephen I. Simmons, prosecuted by the United States District Attorney, Hon. A.

AV. Tenney, has been on trial for several days in the United States Court for this district. Frequent publication of the facts in various stages of the case prior to trial have familiarized our readers with the subject. It will be remembered that Simmons was indicted for illicit distilling in Grand street, iu this city, uuder the outward forms of a "vine "gar factory." His defense was au endeavor to prove that he did not know of or was not connected with the still. Beside this, there was another circumstance which made the prosecution of him a formidable task.

He is a very active, considerable and influential Ke public nn politician, and the mingled pressure of blandishment and menace, to save him from rial at all, has been very great. Upon Mr. Tenney of course all such inducements were lost, and for four days Simmons has been prosecuted by him and ably defended by General J3. F. Tracy aud John J.

Allen, themselves respectively District Attorney and Assistant District Attorney of the United States, before Mr. Tenney took the office. A statement of the case in epitome elsewhere shows that Stephen I. Simmons was convicted by the jury of the offense named in the indictment. The trial has been a brilliant event in Federal legal circles which has attracted much attention, and the result is the heaviest blow dealt to the local whisky ring yet.

for it is dealt against its most powerful and "respectable" head operator. Coming so quickly on the case of Coombs, similarly convicted last week, this event is the best answer to the "racket" the whisfcy and Sanborn ring orowd have sought to excito against the authorities that aro opening tho doors of jails to receive them.

ioa any Evening Paper Published in tbe United States. It value as nn Advertising medium ia tborclore ap pnrrin. The United States and Spain The Cnt Under the Meal The United States have made a demand on Hpain. The demand is that American citizens to Spain, or in Spanish dependencies, when charged with being, in their conduct and designs or in their relations, obnoxious to Spanish laws, shall ho more fairly tried than they now are that they shall have a de fens by counsel of their own selection, and that if they select their counsel from among their own countrymen, such counsel they shall have. This demand is meant particularly for Cnbfl.

The Spanish Government has acceded to the He. uiand, and our Department of State has newly entitled itself to tho respect and confidence of the people. This is in little yet in full the statement of tho case which so much is being written about. The effect of this application both in Europe and in the United States is a mortifying evidence of the foreign and American opinion, upon the kind of men who arc principal in the Government of this country. The public of the two continents have been prepared to conclude that this application was made by President Grant and by those who manage him, that it might be refused that they used tho honorable Secretary of State to make a just demand, nd that then of themselves, they sot that demand off with a show of hostile preparation in the Navy, and with attempts upon public opinion that would iuconso Spain into the folly of refusing and resenting it.

The further intentions assigned to the desire for this refusal have not been dissembled, by those who think they have disoerned them. They involved just this: the getting up of a war with Spain, ostensibly to seize Cuba, and, really, to make wave of felt hostility and felt apprehension, on which General Grant might rido into the Presidency a third time. A civil and an cxecuti ve failure, it was claimed that Grant could be re elected by a creation of conditions that would revive the observation of him in his military character. This may be unjust to the IVosHont. His patriotism may be greater thnu bis greed.

Like all great soldiers, he may love peace more than war, because ho so well knows what war is. But no such inference would do violence to the character and capabilities of the men nearest to Grant The personally nearest are those we mean, not thoso officially nearest. Not Bristow, Jewell, Pierre pont or Fish, but G. M. Kobeson, Alex.

Shepherd, Simon Cameron, Oliver Perry Morton, Zack. Chandler, lloscoe Conkling. Tom Murphy, Jim Murtagh, Orville H. Bab cock and the intimates of tho Executive, are believed to be capable of this purpose and to havo fostered it and forwarded it, as fir they could. Messrs.

lioboson and Coupling should be relieved, we think, of corrupt designs in this purpose. 'We think they sincerely believe in the desir. bility of third term of Grant, in the circumstances as they misconceive them, and Mr. Colliding is so persuaded of it that lie prepared to prefer Grant even to lmjr clf, ns the nominee next year. The other third tenners we would not refrain from charging with the purpose of repea'ing Grant if they can, because they feel that only he can make and keep them public quantities in this country.

They compriio nil the third termers we kuow of. Their position infinitely multiplies their power beyond that which their abilities would ever make for them. They recognize the sat opposition of the Republican parly itself to a third term, and the opposition of the people, irrespective of party to it but these men are familiar with three things Grant ii not averse to, if indeed he be not anxious for, re election the Republican machine is so peifect that it might be managed up to the point of a nomination of him next year; the revulsion of publiu opinion against tho support of any man and Grant especially for a third term, would need the most heroic treatment, and that treatment would be the existence of a war, in a period when the people would have to choose a President, and when the most considerable military force in our country would be himself in the Executive office. The exigency of the ease, th( aplomb of Grant as a soldier, the not extinct military fo of the people, and the rclibh for anything innovatory in extreme among those who revere and those who are skeptical of our system arc calculated by these schemew to a nicety, 'this is the conclusion of those who aro narrowly watching what wo may denominate tlie November manourres at Washington. Tu this spirit, the demand on Spain is regarded as device; the sudden revival of third term talk in the organs is regarded as a feelnr; the suggestive activity in np.vid matUu is interpreted in keeping with this design, a design to which the character cf those charged with enteri.oin ing it does no violence.

Such an impression has penetrated even the most sensitive of the Spanish people, and the most sensational, if not the most sentient, British Don Carlos has offered a truce to Alfonso, and a junction of forces against the United States, as the common enemy of Castile and her insular jewels. All this has come to pass because of the effect of the character of Grant and of his. intimates at home, and of that very cunning man, Caleb Gushing, at Madrid, upon a perfectly proper and manly request from Secretary Fish. A revelation of public opinion bo graphic as this is very suggestive. For once the Washington ring should eo themselves as others see (hem.

If they do aot see more they are not wise. They ought to see that this country will not go to war to oblige Grant or Grant's backers. They ought to see that their recourse to a war will cost them their places, instead of secure them in their places. The people want no war, and they do not want Cuba. Cuba would rot be accepted as a free gift, on a popular vote.

There is no American sympathy for the alleged rebellion there or for the cause of Spain there. A plague on both 'your houses" is what the people say to both sides. This country wants no government at AVashi ngton to go into the colonial business. Any possession of insular domain, would, it in felt, cost more than it would come to. It would necessitate armies, be a pretext for navies, require an immense staff of extra officials, and be a provocative to aggression from nations essentially acquisitive, which ours is not.

The enthusiasm for liberty in other lands is a little less than it used to be, among people who have a hard time to maintain their own. The South American Eepublies have turned out to be throat cutting frauds. The United States has to reset too many powers dislocated by civil war, and has too much territory to develop and too much debt to reduce, and too vivid an experience of home satrapies to go into this Cuban business or any other outside business near or remote. The alleged design of the "government" and the palpable opinion of the people upon the design need only be stated, to indicate ths event in a country where ultimately the people always win, though it be the only civilized country where public opinion and government at this time lire antagonist forces. Tbe limea and the In a well considered article on the Speakership to day the JYrw York Time favors Mr.

Kerr. This is better politics, the Timtn will allow us to say, than that paper has put up recently. The day after the Fall elections of 1871 was when it bicmric evident that tho Democrats had carried the House, and that was the day on which the Eagle brought out Mr. Kerr for tho Speakership, a proposition we have steadily advocated ever since, and one in which the best journalism and statesmanship in the country have supported us. The Times, as the representative newspaper of tho Republican party, but, creditably, not of the Republican administration, does itself credit iu counseling the other party to do that best thing for itself and the country which the se.

lection of Mr. Kerr for Speaker would be. The Times considers the real contest to be bc tweon Mr. Randal and Mr. Kerr.

nnd Brotdwuf. K. V. Tbe meetings at the Biuk and Tabernacle. The Bible Lecture A Sermon to Converts.

An Immense Gathering TIie Young Hen's Meeting The Last Meetings. Last night the doors to tho Rink, at the Clermont avenue entrance, were opened at a quarter psst all, and In fifteen minutei tbe building waB filled with the waiting crowd. People who have been putting oB going are walling to get in at the last two meetings, and the result is an increased throng. Abont seven o'clook the doors wore closed and those who came had to be content with filling the ovorflow meoting in the Simpson M. Church.

Inside tbe Kink there was tcarcely standing room left, and thcro were nearly 7,000 people uuder its roof. Tho tickets for to night's meoting wero all given out yesterday, fully 10,000 being distributed, beside several thousand for tho young men's meeting at the Tabernacle. This nine o'clock gathering haa been a decided euccess from a rovival point of view, and has resulted in a considerable numbor of conversions, principally among young men, a class that Mr. Moody particularly desires to reach, THE THANK OFTEKINGS. So far as has been ascertained, the collections taken up yesterday to Uf the debt of the Young Men's Christian Association aud replenish Its treasury, wcro quite successful.

At the present writing, tho total amount has not been given, bnt at the morning prayer meeting, the smallest of tho day's gatherings, and the one from which the loast was expected, $785 were collected, and three other collections are yet to be heard from, Including the main one at the Rink. The collection tbcre was taken up the first thing after the services opened, and the work was porf ormed very expeditiously, consuming less than ten minutes. If the desired $10,000 is not mado up by the collections already taken, they will be repeated at the mootings to day. THE PrNAIi MEETINGS. To night will bo Mr.

Moody's last sermon at the Itink. Ho and his oo workcr will close their labors in Brooklyn at the prayer meeting to morrow morning, at the Tabernacle, and during the day they will go to Philadelphia, boginning their labors In that city on Sunday morning. On Sunday artemoon at four o'clock there will bo a Bervico at tho Rink when Mr. NccdUara will prench, and that will bo the last meeting held in that building. Ho yrill go to Philadelphia next week, and assist tho evangelists in that city.

To day an inquiry meeting baa boon in progress since half paBt ton ibis morning, at the Simpson M. E. Church, and it will continue until this evening, and from half past eight until ten to night. An overflow meeting will be hold, while the services are in progress in the Rink. Mr.

Ncedham will preach, and Mr. Sankey will bo there to btng. A liiblo lecture the last will also tako placo this afternoon as usual, at tho Tabornaolo. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, at the Bible lecture tho Tabernaclo was flllod to overflowing, both main floor and galleries, and hundreds wero turned away. Mr.

Moody spoke upon the theme, "Cod is love." The services wero in tho same order as upon previous occasions, and were listenod to with deep interest. Tho collection was taken up, and judging from appearances, was a Uberal one. These Hible lectures necessitate a very close study of tho Scriptures, and with Mr. Moody this motbod of preaohlng soems to be a favorito one. His services at the Riukhave frequently taken this form.

AT THE RINK the Hervicea opened at an earlier hour than uual. but the waiting crowd had swelled to its utuiobt extent, aud thcro was nothing to bo gained by procrastination. Mr. Moody is given to what would be called long sor mona, frequently speaking three quarters of an hour. Tho services opened with singing and prayer by Rov.

Dr. Cuylor. Mr. Sankey then sang the hymn, "Only an Armor Bearer," prefacing the singing by reading the passages of scrip tura upm which thosong is ba33d. Mr.

Moody gave out the no'icos for tho concluding meoting and then announced bis topic wnich was the "Kaccsbity of Confession." His Bermon w.is ununly addressed to those who had been converted dining the meetings, and lie urged upon thcn the importance of their acknowledging Christ before tho world. He said that ho met many people iu the iuq ilry room who could not understand why they did not find poace. and wt en became to inquire into tho matter he almost always found it was because thoy bad uot acknowledged their Master, had not conicssed Him in their homes, and to the world around them. The passaeM up.m which the discourse was based were mainly taken from tho Gospel of Ht. Luke.

It teems to bo a favorite book with Mr. Moody, nnd ho frequently takes bis text from it. Jlv quoted various passages to show whoro Christ bad commanded His followers to aoknowledje Him beforo tho world, Mr. Moody said that a cross lay athwart iho path of vcry one who to tha Kingdom. The way waa straight and narrotv, and the cross must be lii ted.

The speaker discoursed for somo little time upon the moral courngo necessary to doclaro Christ before tho world, llo said that it was very straugo that men were perfectly willing to acknowledge tho political party to which they belonged; that tho followers of evory other oreod on the aoo of the earth wore always willing to acknowledge thoir faith, yet, wo who possessed the best and only true religion in the world wero ashamod to acknowledge it. If Mr. Moody will look a little closer he will find the answer to the problem does not lie so very deep below the surface. Men, he said, tried to ba neutral in iho matter, but that was impossible. There was no middlo ground, they must stand on one sido or tho ot'ior of the dividing line, and in support of thi'i ho quoted the passage, "Ho that is not for me is against me;" neither could man serve Christ secretly.

Tho Government would not accept a recruit who refused to put on the uniform, and Christ bad said that "whosoever denied Him on earth would He deny in heaven." Mr. Moody male several strong appeals to his hearers to declare tbeir position, aud to thoso who had not repented of eiu to place Ihouisolvcs ou the right side. In conclusion bo asked nil who were willing to servo Christ to stand up while they sang tho concluding hymn. Tho request was evidently misunderstood, for almost everyoue iu tho audience stoo.1 upon their feet. Following the mectiug at the Kink came an inquiry meeting.

THE YOUNG MEN'S MEETI.NO at tho Tabernacle at 9 o'clock, wsh largely attended, fully 3,000 being present. A collection was taken up at the opening of the service, and Iben Mr. Moody repeated in substance the sermon whioh he had delivered at the Rink. The inquiry meeting followed lasting for nearly an hour, XIic OTorninu; feathering; at the I'aber nacle Finnl Words. This morning was the last prnj'er meeting at the Tabernacle, at which Mr.

Moody and Mr. Saukey will be present. They start for Philadelphia to morrow morning at nine o'clock. The crowd in attendance was tho largest for several dayB, tho largest in fact, since the prayer meeting of Friday, a week ago. Mr.

Moody's remarks were addressed to the Christians of Brooklyn, urging thorn to renewed exertions and not to cease working because the larger moetings were about to close. The oxcrcises opened with singing the 45th hymn, "Jcbub, keen me near the Cross," and after singing, while tho audience bowed their heads in silent prayer, the requests for prayer wero read by Mr. Hawley. Prayers wore requested for fourteen churches, eleven families, for fivo Sunday School classes by their teachers. Fourteen wives asked prayers for their husbands, for two drunkardB, for four infidels, for two sick people, for six backsliders, five children for their parents, for thirty eight persons by then: relatives, for tblrty nino brothers by their sisters, for forty eight children by their paresis, for twenty nine anxious souls.

A lady requested prayers for live friends in Philadelphia. Requests were also proffered for a city missionary and liiB work, for a saloon keeper under deep conviction, for a young gambler, for the editor of a promlnont country newspaper, for a orphan boy in danger, for tho tempeiance cause in Ohio, for a lady who is a slave to opium, for a backglidiug minis terror an unconverted church member, and a lady asked prayers for her son, who is tho editor of an "inlidol newspaper. At tho conclusion of the reading, Mr. Burtis led in prayer. The H8tb hymn, "Nearer my God to Thee," was then sung, after which Mr.

Moody read a few passages from tho 15th Chapter of St. John's Gospel. Beforo reading he Bald that during tho past few days quite a number had expressed a regret to him that the re iva) labors were about to close. Ho thought BUch a feeling showed a lack of faith, for his part, ho considered that the work had only Just beun. Tbe churches had been stirred up to work, aud after the close of tho great Hirelings be hoped and trusted they would continue the labor among themselves.

He then read a few verses from the chapter above referred to, and said that many wonder why their prayers were not answered. It was because they did not labor as they should, did not put forth the effort which God required in his vineyard God expects every ono of his children to work for Him constantly. Lazarus belongs to tho old creation, and not to the new, and those who wero born again should find their chief deiight in worlUng for souls. Their faith would not amount to much if it did not show itself in labor of some kind. It would be a dead iaith without that, and had better be buried ought of sight.

The first impulse of tho young convert is to go out aud endeavor to win some other soul to Christ. Mr. Moody said one thing ho had noticed, Brooklyn joined hiin. There wero so few Christians who brought their Bibles with them. Even in the inquiry room, where thoy were working for the Master, thoy did not have them.

The word of God waa intended to strengthen and furnish them for tho work. What was needed was more Bible Christians. There were a great many hearers of the word, but very few dosrs. and it was more of the latter class that were wanted. How many Christians are there whose life has been a l'ailure, who havo borno no fruit for the Mayter The great difficulty was, that Christians wcro NOT PECULIAB ENOUGH Christ called them to bo "a peculiar people, zealous of good works," and instead of being different from the world, tho great majority of them could not be distinguished from it.

Paul was a peculiar man in thiB respect, no doubt the people of that day thought him one of tho oddest men thoy ever saw, but see what work ho did for bis Master. Christ commanded his followers to be a peculiar people, but tliat was the very thing which they seemed to avoid. There would be no hope for this country, ho thought, until the church was rouaed up to more earnest labor, until tho tide of worldlincss was rolled back from the church. Mr. Moody then went on to speak of the nature of revival work.

He deprecated the idea that becauee tho meetings were to close that therefore the work would cease. Ho said he had faith that they would see even greater results than they had yet wituoased. There was reason why the work should stop. If Christians would only livo in Christ constantly, always trying to be like Him, there would be greater work accomplished there would then be no need of church fairs and bazars, and a crowd of worldly people who have no sympathy with bringing in them. Mr.

Moody said it was a wrong idea that, after a low weeksof earnest work that they should fold their arms, draw a long breath, say what a good time they have had, and then go to Bleep for the balance of the year. What was needed was, that they ahonld work steadily and fervently all the year aronnd; to get hold of some work and hold on to it throughout the year. They must get down to individual work. Tho preachers reaohea the masses, but the individual work must bo done by individual Christians. Mr.

Sankey then Bang alone the 96th hymn "Nothing but leaves," and followed tho eong with prayer. A few brief remarks were then made by Bev. Mr. Malllard, and then, at tho request of Mr. Moody, the audience bowed their heads in silent prayer.

Another collection was then taken up for the benefit of tho Yonng Men'B Christian Association. Mr. Moody stated that the amount was not raised yesterday, and they intended to keep at it until tbe entire $10,000 was raised. It may bo horo stated that tho officers have no fear but that they will receive the entire amount desired. The services closed with tho hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds," and the audience was dismissed wltb tho benediction.

The woman's meeting followed, lod by Mrs. Need ham, who Hiked in a quiet and pleasant way on "Thanksgiving and Praise." After, th9 rooesa tag clergyman, lie a meeting in Regular Meeting of the Board. The Question of Onldoor Itclief Discussed at Length Storekeepers Who do Not Wish to Submit Their Accounts to tlie Board An Attempt to Bertnce the Salaries of Belief Clerhs aud Porters Defeat ed The Report of the Supplies Com mittce Adopted The Work on the Peni tentiary Reported as Complete A New Night Watchman of the Oonri Honsc Appointed, etc. The Board of Supervisors held a meeting nt throe o'clock yeaterday afternoon, Supervisor at Large 'ox in tlie chair.

In connection therewith ho presented the following resolution, which was adopted.

But the work lutd boeu a failure, and ho moved that Committee of nvc ho appointed to receivo plana for a. reconstruction of tho wort. Carried.

A resolution was presented authorizing Sup. Connolly, of tho Seventeenth Ward, to advertise for proposals aud award a contract for tun re plankiug of tho Bridge over Newtown Creek between Brooklyn and Bilssville. A communication was received from James Murthn, Clerk of tuo Board of Commissioners of Charities, calling the attention of the Hoard to a resolution adopted by the Commissioners at their Ia6t meeting to the effect of thn distil ntion oxJstiiifr onions a lai'e clas.8 in fie fommunity, and tbet iu the opinion of tho of Commissioners it would be proper to resume tho distribution of temporary relief at as early a day as possible.

DELINQUENT 8TORERF.F.PEBS. Sup. Rope3 asked if the storekeepers of last year have yet rendered their acconnt? Hup. Mclntyro Baid that he supposed so, that the Clerk of tho Board ought to know. Mr.

Cadlev that no report as vet has been made. Sup. Bop 's said that beforo they proceeded lo the work of this year they ought to see what the account of last year was. If was desirous to have their report, as the Board at tho present time was in a statu of ignorance aa to how their accounts stand. He therefore moved that the Supplies Committee bo directed to adopt such measures as should bring about tho needed result.

I Sup, Gardner said that he was opposed to author izing the Supples Coinmitteo to make appointments of storekeepers aud porters. Ho believed that there would be sorao men appointed by tho Committee who would not be acceptable to tho Board at large. If tho Supplies Committee had tho matter all in their own hands, any person who was 'crooked" at the last dec tion would stand no show whatever. He amended tho motion by dire ting the Supplies Committee to report to the Board the names of appointees for final action. Sup.

Fisher said that it was thought dosiromt by tlie Supplies Coinmitteo to have a report from the storekeepers, and to that end thry directed Mr. Short to make a formal upon tho storekeepers for a report. Three of them complied, and two refused, on the ground that neither tho Supplies Committeo nor Mr. ghnrt had any authority to make tho demand. Snp.

Hopes wanted the names ot tho.e men who had refused to render an account. Sup. Fisher said he didn't know their names, but he was sure that they had refused. It was tbe intention of the Committee to place them iu such a position that they would be compelled to make a report. All he could say was that tho Committee would appoint only such, men as wero competent and honest.

He offered an amendment to the effect that the appointments be made by tho Supplies Committee with tho approval of the Supervisor at Iarge. Sup. Mclntyre said that it was a Tory eaBy matter to explain why the Supplies Committee had not made a report. Two of the storekeepers had refused to make thoir statement, and they could not make any report until thoy did. Aid.

Kopos said that these men had given bond, and ho thought THEIR BONDSMEN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, unless thoy were men of straw. There was something hack of this action by tho storekeepers that thoy dare not develop. He had the utmost confidence in the SuxplieH Committee, aud he thought they had acted to the best of their ability, but at the same timo the reso lutions passed by the Board beforo had not been deemed of sufficient Importance to compel theeo gen tlomcn to make a statement. He would make a motion that would cover the ground, to tho effect that no action be taken until such time as the very last resource I 1b exhausted to get from these men a statement of their accounts. He believed that they could not only get light but very valuable information that will bo of benefit to the Board.

He moved to lay tho whole matter on the ablo until the next meoting. Sup. Fisher strongly opposed the delay involvod in the amendment offered by Sup, Ropes, on the ground that the earfy part of the Winter was, in tho expe rience of the Committee, tho severest among the poor. Thoy always needed coal and food at that time. If Sup, Hopes' amendment was adopted it would put the matter off until December whereas the ought to cpen by tho 15th of December, aud that would be impossible unless the Committee were given an opportunity to act immediately.

Sup Hopes said there would be no difficulty in open ing the. storehouses on the 15th if the matter was laid i over, as the siorahoiiBcs were iu a condition in which they could be opened immediately if necessary, as there wero no repairs to be made. He was opposed to taking I any action uutil tho storekeepers made their reports and until all their accounts were in tho hands of the Board. If action was deferred they might as well let the matter go by default, aH the storekeepers don't want to make a report and never will if they are allowed to put the matter off continually. The motion to lay on the table was lost by a Yote of 10 to 20.

TIIE BED UOT ION OF SALARIES. Sup. Strong said that he did not see why they should pay so much for salaries. There were many men competent and able who would be willing to work for $30 a month instead of $05 a month, which was the salary paid to norters last year. If tho Board felt disposed to distribute alms to the county in a way which would be the most useful to the county, they could do so through tho various charitable institutions through the city.

Look at tho Society for tho Relief of tho Poor of tho City of Brooklyn, for instance, and how littlo it cost them to distribute the relief which they gave last year, and how wisely and prudently all their affairs wero managed. He believed they could distribute this relief throughout tho. city, and he had no doubt they could and would do it without a dollar of expense to the county. Thcro aro other societies thatwouIJ do the same thing. The Board proposes to take the money which was raised for the purpose of relieving the poor and spending a considerable poi tion of it for salaries.

In various departments he didn't object to clerks getting good salaries, but when thoy undertook to distribute the money raised for the support of the poor to pay unnecessary salaries they did something that was palpably wrong. He moved to reduce tho salaries of porters from $65 to $j0 a month. Sup. Mclntyre said if they were performing mere manual labor it would be well to reduce the salaries, but they had considerable responsibility upon them and could cause a good deal of trouble if they so desired it. Men should ba aoiooted for their competency and integrity, and if they wanted to get such men they would have to pay them good salaries.

Sup. Ropes said that if he went into the streets tomorrow he could get 600 men who would be willing to work for less than two dollars a day, and they would be honest men, too. Sup. Clancy said that he did not think that $2 or $2.50 a day was too much to pay the porters. The laborer was worth his hire, and it was right to pay tho man who did the most work the beat wages.

The portera worked from twelve to fourteen heura a day, and did the hardest portion of the work connected with the Belief Department. It waa all very well to GET MEN TO WORK FOB LITTLE OR NOTHING. They could get them to do that, but was it right, because of the hardness of the times, that the Board should take advantage of this and give the porters little or nothing to live upon If reductions wero to be made he believed they should commence with the clerks who were getting $100 a month for doing nothing, and reduce their salaries, but to leave the porters' salark a alone. Sup. Frenob.

moved to make the porter's salary $C0 a month. Sup. Rowley said that Snp. Clancy's argument put him in the position of favoring tho plan that manual labcr waa ahea'd of bTain labor. If that was so, tno laborers on the streets should be paid the salary of Governor, 'f aaett.

Mr. PresidentThe time hnB fully como for practical work in this nwiUer. Now tor a in nnoiit let us have Divine in our minds. Wind i.j it we propose? A nnjiulfaiieous celebration by (he of the Unit States ot the Centennial poiio.l, by the Htroujjth cuius and endowment of thrir instil utiona of lerniiil. and tho dolnp of thin in commemoration of thuir fjreat pt'oresu during tha past hundred years, aud a preparation for their grcator works to come.

Thcro ia goiufj to be a special sicnhlcanco iu such a celebration by the Baptist denominations from tho fact that their progress in this country has been a progroaH carried on and coequal with the growth of the country itself. Wo were, a hundred years ao. a people few in number. Wo were of limited wt allh. Wo had not more than 25,000 communicants.

We had very few hours of worship and were at tho timo suffering under painful and distressing persecution for con Bcieuoo sake. I remember that in February, 1774, ciyh teen men in a single town wore arrested and carrlod to 1 jail, distance of thirty miles, in the Stale of Mussa chunetts, becauee of their ret'usul to pay the taxen for tho of tho established worship of the Slate. The triumph of American Independence was distinctly the triumph of our principles of religious liberty. We were, therefore, at the bnginnlng not a very important botly. But tiie end of the century Unds us a pcoplu of almost two millions; finds us rich aud powerful; ii finds us, likewise, with a century opening upon ua and etitiuff to us euch fields of labor as were not dreamed of 1 by our fathers.

In looking over our cmdit ion we find that one human instrumentality of our worlt in the Htrunf th cnin aud endowing of our institutions of learning, Nuw then, in doinif this work we don't propose to place at once a great Bum in a common tn. afinry. Wo propose by tho diffusion of a proper sentiment concerning this to promote the ni ivciuhiil in every State. Wo propose this movement iu twoloimfr. One is called the DOLLAR a form in which we propone to solicit from men, women aud children iu our cnurches und a dollar for the purposo of this celebration.

The other is a subscription according to your We prn pose that those who are able to give laro sum bc invitcd to glvo large sums, and those who aro able to give only small sums shall bo invite to (five small sums, and thus we Bhall put our institutions upon their feet and make them stronger for the coining century. Ho far as I can learn for all the certificates do not pass through my hands, aud are not printed under my di recti on so far as I can learn, some auh.UUU or 400,000 certificates havo been printed and arc in process of circulation, I am very much to bo able to state that the South is goiug into this undertaking with as much zeal as the North and tho West and the Kasf, I think in some respects the West is transcendently abovo us all. Tho question here is how we In this City of Brooklyn shall advance to this work. Now I cannot to night point out methods for doiug that thing. The pointing out of methods devolves rather upon the Secretary of tho Centennial Committee of this State.

I only say that 1 feel intensely anxiottf that this movement should go right into all our churcncF. I nave a PBOFOUND CONVICTION' that the cost of this world's evangelization is to be most effectual, promoted by tho crystallization of an evangelizing process in education. Iot ma tell you, gentlemen of this Union, that unless you ahalJ travel over tho country you cannot begin to understand the influence upon the Baptists of the United States of tho conventions held under your patronago in this city in 1870. You will find your infiu nco everywhere. The churches of this city aro strong, and thoy ouaht to be able to do something very handsome for thin Centonnial movement.

It is the great necessity of tho hour that this thing ehould bo done. I thcreVore. hope that the members of this Union shall have a brilliant success, MB. JAMES B. SIMMONS was the next speaker.

He said I am happy to report that the work of the Centennial Educational Commit tee in this State is moving forward cheerfully. From Sabbath to Habbath durinff the last Summer. I ad dressed churches on this matter. I have been engaged in attending conventions, and everywhere there is a readiness for the work. I have found but three Bap tiats this htato wlio eaiu rnai inej comu noi laite say that they cannot take up the work now, but will do so iu tho course ol a few weeks.

One church has pro posed to raise four times aa many dollars as thero are members in the church. In reference to the number of certilicatcs already distributed, there have been Rent out from tho churches of this State over 10,000. all of which have been sent on application. ClU.OUO havo been sent out on tho order of the churches. Some people say "the times are extremely hard Wo design to subscribe.

Wo are deeply interested in the worJf. Boforo the time expires wo will nubsenbo. The longer you wait tho larger tho sum you may hope, for," and under such circumstances I am little disposed to wait. Several of our brethren have hoen anxious to subscribe. T.vo uf them gave each.

Every where I go I sec evidences of the labors of the Educational Committece, of which Dr. Cutting is Secretary. I thank you with all my heart for appointing this most satistactory Committee. To me it is peculiarly satisfactory. You could not have selected three men who pleased me better.

I know that their hearts ure interested in the woffc. I thank you, gentlemen of this Social Union, for appointing them. I behove that your example and that the example which will be set by this Committeo will be the mpinug powtr of another soclsl union. Applause. Messrs.

Bigelow and Patton then followed on the same subject, and tho Union then adjourned. COMMON COUNCIL WORK. Aldermen Aatoniahed at Revclatioiiu Concern in if the Truant Home. Tho Finance Committee of the Common Council met last evening, Alderman Hopes, Chairman, presiding. A largo number of bills for small amounts wero considered, and the Committee decided to report in favor of paying tho same.

In one bill, which was for plumbing work for tho Police Department, was an item of $5 for removing eel from a wntor pipe. ii. McBride is the man who took them out. A bill from the Troant Home contained a pleasing variety of items, bucu as zinc ointment, bed bug poison, sugar of lead, cod liver oil, paregoric, "blister," pillB, soidlitz powders, and a syringe. The reading of this list astonished the Committee, but Alderman Black, who is a druggist, explained the uses jf the different articles.

There was no mystery about tho bed bug poison, but Alderman Ropes was puzzled about tho zinc ointment, aud humorously inquired if it was for "bugs in the head." Alderman Black hastened to explain that it was for healing purposes and not for "bugs tho head," bed bugs or any other entomological specimens. This settled the matter. Several other bills from thn Truant Home were laid over, not being certified to by Superintendent Deinor cst. The Grading and Paving and Salary Committees were advertised to meet, hut a quorum of either faikd to appear, TUT ING TO PROVE AS ALIBI.

Grain: replied that hooxpjctc.l and ankert nothing from llu.

Cjlonol Connelly thou amused tin Association with a story of the doings of ati organization of a political kind in Now York, when a cerudn committee waa to be named. Frst a Ducoliman claimo.t hi ritfht to bo on the commlU'jo his nation was most powerful in a certain district, aud so with a Frenchman, an Italian, a colored brother and un Iriabmau, theiiual result being, that tho American had no show on tho ticket. It was so, lie said, where men asked to be put on a ticiet on accjun'. of th3ir nationality, THE AMK1UCAN, gonorally, got left oh He claimeJ that he last place for a urnn to talk about nationality was in the ranks or thu Uepuulieau party. He hoped that Mr.

Grace would feci that it would make him stronger to say, "Pick out a good man in my placo, aud one who ia not trauinielcd as I am by position." Mr. P. Harlow replied that Mr, Connolly, as a member of on amateur dramatio association, fill a high roll of honor, but the question did "not turn on funny stories. The charge was that Grace from his position in the Custom House could not act independently. A Mr.

Georcc, then nominated Mr. Connelly for Mr. Graco'a place on tho Committee, and Colonel Palmer seconded the motion, saying that he believed Connolly would soe that tho Twenty first Warders bad their share of positions, whether under tho municipal government or in tho Custom ttouse. Tho Chair declared the motion was not befora the Association, and Connolly also declined, as he said, to "pay $10 for a little CHEAP NOTOBIETY, he having had enough of it in tho Seventh Ward' Mr. Grace said, he would leave tho matter entirely in the hands of the Association, and was only pleased that iu tho remarks made, tnero had bi'en a little courtesy shown.

Ho then sat down, but immediately rose ugain, und moved that Mr. Thomas Cobb bn nomiuated in Ins place on tho ticket. The motion was carried unanimously, and tho bilance of tho nominations wits 1 adopted. Mr. Dodge then moved that the Association should go into executive session, which was curried.

i The rctirjment of the outsiders and tho closing of the d.ior and windows was the signal for a long and very personal debate, concerning the alleged inconsistency of several members of tho Association, who had voted and worked in the interest of tho Democratic candidates on election day. I Mr. Watson brought the matter up, and it was finally settled by the passage of I A BESOLUTIOJf OESSUBING TIIE EBBING BBETH BEN, and requesting them to either come out boldly nnd resign, or repjnt ot their sins and be forgiven, on condition that thoy don't do so any more. The General Committee Inspector of Election Mr. Peden, was spoken of as the chief sinner, and was the one moat extensively pitched into, but as he was not present, what was said was lost on him.

Mr. Kenny charged Mr. Garrett with being a Democrat, and cairt that Col. Connolly was an importation from the Seventh Ward, who made trouble wherever he went, Tlie Chairman, however, preserved order. After naming a committee to have the ticket printed the ABBOciatfoa adjourned.

Twent fourtti Ward Republicans. A meeting of the Twenty fourth Ward Ke publicau Association was held last night at tho Wigwam, on Atlantic avenue, for the purpose of hearing the report of tho Committee appointed to prepare a list of officers for the Association to be voted for at the primary to be held on Monday next. The meeting was called to order by John I), Cutter, President, and after thu usual routine business had been transacted, the Committee presented the following report President G. H.

Geo. Evans was thou substituted in place of Mr. Rugglcs. Mr. Small then refused to serve on the Investigating Committee, and his place was supplied by Mr.

Joseph Ellis. Mr. Benjapiin Evans declined to sorvo on tho Executive Committee, and on motion, Mr. Joseph Nevill, was substituted in his place. The meeting then adjourned.

Twenty fifth Ward Republicans. A mectiug of tho Twonty fifth'Ward Republican Association was called for last evening, in order that officers might be nominated to be voted for at the primary on Monday next. The two factions mustered in strong force, and after the routine business had been transacted neither party was willing to grapple with tho object for which the meetiug had been callod. Thoy were mutually determined to stay all night rather than give their opponents a show, and therefore a mutton to adjourn was carried, and the race for Association officors is open for all comers and promises to be exceedingly lively and exciting. I event Ward Republicans.

The Eleventh "Ward JRepublican Association held an adjourned meeting last evening at No. 10 De Kalb avenue. A letter of resignation from James Hyde was laid on the table to await a report from the Executive Commit too in reference to a charge of "Democracy" against James and Richard Hyde. On motion the Chair appointed a committee of nine to nominate candidates lor officers of tho Association and delegates to the General Committee. While the Committee were absent the Chairman expressed his thanks for the kindness of the Association during the past year.

Alderman elect Griswold and Supervisor elect Hohn, thanked the Association for their support at the recent election. The Committee returned and reported ns follows: For President, A. Ammerman; First Vice President, J. O. Carpenter; Second Vice President, James Semple; Secretary.

W. R. Kerr; Assistant Secretary. F. I.

Carpenter; Treasurer, James A. McMicken; Inspectors of Election, John Stewart and Win. H. Barlow; Sergeant at Arms, Thomas Martin; delegates to the General Committee, Wm. Wallace and W.

The report was then adopted and tho Association adjourned. ROBBED A STATION HOVSE. The most familiar face among the applicants for temporary lodging at the Fifth Precinct Station House last night was that of Agnes Moody. Agnes was tolerably well liked, as she rarely appeared under tho influence of liquor, and on this account she was employed two daya ago by Doorman Wolf to scrub the Interior of the building. Yesterday afternoon, while thtia engaged in the officers1 sleeping apartments, she improved tho opportunity which the absence of all the men had afforded to steal a blanket from one of tho beds.

This she concealed under her dress and retired with it to tho women's lodging rooms, where she improvised it into a temporary skirt, and was in the act of leaving the station house when an associate scrubber of hers informed Sergeant Bunco, who was at the desk. The Sergeant searched Agnes, and finding the blanket, looked her up. No news of the battle of GatscUko has been received by the Sublime Porte, but the report of tho Iuaurgeut YlQtgry hi fully couQvuwd Congressman "Bill" King has not been tried yet on the indictment brought against him iu the Pacific Mail matter. The AVashington Criminal Court says the trial has been delayed till Colonel Irwin, a necessary witness, shall rctimi from Europo. The same dispatch says A similar charge against Hon.

John G. Sohninalier, in connection with tho i'aciae suesi Ij was belore a former Grand Jury, lm( no action waH taiccu, because of tho absence of Colonel Irwin. Mr. Schumaker has, it is said, returned from Europe to Brooklyn, bringing back with him his family, who had precedod him to the continent and whom he joined there, spending the Summer and most of tho Fall with them. Ho is a member of the House that will meet two weeks from next Monday.

Since his return, ho has not been seen at his usual places of public resort, but ho has probably acquainted himself with the notice the House will, not unlikely, take of the case. The Shields case has reached tho middle of the defense stago of it, and tho installments of testimony are given elsewhere. The report will show an immense quantity of contradiction of the plaintiff's evidence, and the cross examination will also reveal facts of kinship and interest on the parts of the defense witnesses, in several cases. Altogether, tho jury will have a medley to pass on; if things keep at their present indications. President Richardson, of the Atlantic avenue Kailread Company, finds that patent punches are also vanity.

Tho "perfect se 'curity" which they were to be against 'knock ing down" is neutralized by tho more possession of the "bogus punch" which "makes the noise and punches five cents out of the Com "pany," to use tho graphic and pathetic language of the Alderman. His ease against the caught conductors has been adjourned. AVe hope his efforts to root out this form of embezzlement will succeed. The (IrapJtic, in connection with Bowen's suit against tho Eagle was anxious to know, a few days ago, "whether a newspaper can "commit libel." Tho Times supplies the Graphic this morning with some material that ought to simplify the question. The Times seems to have passed through pretty much the same kind of libel experience as the Eaole.

Making mistakes occasionally but always ready, we believe, to repair them in a manly way, our contemporary is sued and hated by most of the frauds and blockheads in the community. It is possible for a newspaper to commit libel, but it is not often done Men who have characters to lose can always obtain more satisfaction in a decent newspaper office than before a jury. As a rule, the men who sue for damago to their characters have nothing of the kind to damage. CURRENT EVEXTS. The Crown Prince of Denmark was seriously injured yesterday, by a fall from his iiorse.

AVe notice that at the meeting of the Board yesterday, Supervisor Strong referred to this subject incidentally, but in terms explicit enough to show that he is in substantial accord with the Eagle concerning it. AVe commend it to him as a matter Reserving of careful thought and upon which the public will be pleased to hear from him at no distant day. Requiescat In Pace. Guibord is buried at last.

His troublous corpse reposes in four feet of earth and only a parenthesis of plaster divides him from his faithful wife who first brought his post mortem grievances before the Queen's Bench Court in Montreal. That Court decided against the right of his bones to his own burial lot, on tho ground that he had been excommunicated by Bishop Bonrget. The Superior Court reversed this decision, but the Court of Appeals reaffirmed it. Appeal was then tnken by the widow and the Iwtilul Canaditn to the Privy Couucil in England, and by this ultimate tribunal, it was decided that since the Bishop had not formally excommunicated Guibord by name but had only generally anathematized him as a member of tho Institute, ho was fully entitled to repose in his own lot in the Catholic cemetery. Yesterday, this Imperial decision was carried out, and the military and police, called out, at the order of the Crown and municipal authorities respectively, made an imposing display of "masterly inactivity," no one disturbing tho proceedings, and therefore no one being hurt.

AVo congratulate Guibord, but trust he will not become a pattern to corpses generally. "Denwrtuis nil nisi bonum," and there is nothing left of Guibord now but bones but if every bone of every corpse is going to litigate in two continents for eight long years, our churchyards will cease to be what the Saxons called them, "God's acre," become battle fields of sectarian strife.
