FOB SALE BOUSES BAPTISTS. ANNIYERSABT. and as much more superbly Protected, the Ballot inliouisana. our Baptist churches. What remarks I have to make uponUus somewhat pretentions subject will not bo out ofhww We preswhlBg that Brooklyn the' preaohlng that and every town throughout the world! needs.

It needs certainly tohave presented to It the Gospel of Jeaua OhrUtTtht glad hewsTSm God that mon who are here alnneri maybe forgWeh dnd may be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. That is the preaching which this lost world of ours needB. But you are w.eiiS!I"? that at several time In the history of the onurcn great dootrlnea have fallon into the background. Not that they wore disbelieved, bnt for a timo they were ignored. It Is the duty of preachers of righteousness to lay no of thoso truths which have thus fallen into obsourity and drag them forth to the light.

The groat doctrine of JUSTIFIOATIOil BI FAITH was for a time lost sight of and covered np by Popish rubbish. The work of the' Reformers was presented with great truth, and when they did present 11, it came with such freshness to mon, that it seemed to them as though they heard it for the first time, although we find it on every page of the Eplstlo of Paul. I think If we look carefully over thiB city In which we live, we will find that In certain quarters there are certain great doctrines concerning man and concerning God which have fallen very much into the backgoound. I do not eay that this is I rue of all our pulpits, but it Is true in reference to some great pulpits among us. We have a doctrlno among us that is called the intelligent merchants of.

the oitji and ite officers were entitled to respect. Their power for good did not appear, however, until very recently. Mayor Colvin's personal popularity was on the wane. His personal habits were scarcely those which were demanded by his offioe, and his re election, it was clearly discernible, would be impossible of accomplishment To seoure an extension of his official term, therefore, he had recourse to a stratagem as ingenious as it was monstrous. The new Constitution of Illinois, adopted In 1870, provided for tho substitution of a new city charter for that in use.

This charter could at any time be submitted to the people for adoption. In 1872 a new charter was framed. It provided for munioipal elections in the Spring tho Unitarian denomination. He took a great Interest in Its prosperity. He admired tt, and ho admired also the beautiful series of men whose portraits had been drawn during tho evening.

Ho rejoiced in the, pastor of the churoh, because he had his 'beginning, because he had soolded him at times and had boxed his treated bim as an older man was likely to treat a younger one, but all the while they had kept on the most affectionate terms, and now lie bad turned about and hid begun to box his ears. Laughter. He was glad of it, because It was to such young men that he owed whatever llmbernees of mind that remained In him. Ha wis rejoiced that he was able to enter Into what the young men of the ministry and the new generation was doing. He was not the least bit discouraged by the slowprogreBs of the Liberal Christian cause.

He expected it to remain the Liberal Christian cause, and the more that was done for it the more certain it was that It had the favor of Ood with it, and the necessity for there being a Providence behind it that would make it tnu'mph In Its own time. He was not impatient about It at all. He saw tbat the Lord was very patient, that His commandments were very broad, and that he did not permit any grand structures or society or religion to be built upon poor foundations. They had been employed, and would continue for a long time to be employod, in preparing tho foundations for the future temple In which common humanity would at last worship. He would not be surprised to.

see Bterner and harder days come for the cause. They would be blessed if they could get up a controversy so that their faith and belief might become known, but for ball a century the press and every religious denomination had left them studiously alone. Ho had often tried to get up a controversy himself, but could never snoceed, as every one came to a harmonioua agreement with him. Unless there was SOME MOBAL AND INTBLLEOTTJAL CATECHISM bo didn't see that much could be done except to fight on and let the Lord in His own timo open communication, so that the accumulated and gathered light and wisdom whioh they thought belonged In a measure to their denomination, should percolate and trickle through Into the dry and arid regions. Ho was particularly interested in the pastor of tho church, because g'a, Maryland, North Oarouna, Iowa, Michigan, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

We hope, a nod, which is as good as a wjni to a blind horse, will be equally valuable to our contemporaries. If Mr. Tilden's friend will neither display speoial zeal nor indulge apprehonsion, events will acquire a habit of occurring in the right way. 0 The fXunlcinal devolution In the City of Chicoaro. The municipal elections in Chicago, wbioh occurred on Wednesday, have, or appear to have, settled without violenoe the question of supremacy in that sensational city.

The preparatory campaign had been of a signally stormy character, and there oan be no question that had tho reformers been beaten at the ballot there would have been further trouble. This has fortunately passed, and the result of the election gives the honest part of the community tho oontrol of tho city and county government. Three consecutive victories have been won by them since November, and it is possible that for a year or two to come they will bo too busy collecting, tabulating aud exhibiting tho frauds perpetrated during the past' two years to spend much time in peculation themselves. The history of Chicago' since the great fire of 1871 has been of interest to the country at large, politically as well as industrially. The exciting eventB which tho city has passed through during the past few weeks are directly traceable to that calamity.

Chicago's municipal history is a record of misnanage mont and corruption, of oppressive taxes, of an indignant people, and the final triumph of that dogree of right aud order which experience leads us to expect of an Amorican community in tho long run. Tho reoont mass meeting of tweuty fivo thousand mon clt.o.ng for the appointment of a vigilance committoe, and a repetition of tho scenes of violence which purified while they disgraced San Francisco, enable us to moasnro protty accurately tho amount of iniquity which engendered it. That tho city government was in the hands of a most unscrupulous ring cannot be doubted. The question naturally arises, in view of the strength of the law and order party. How came it ever to bo surrendered to the ring To answer this it is neoessary to go back to October, 1871.

At that time the city government was in the hands of the Kepublican party. Mayor Mason was a and the Common Council was of the samo color. Common Councils are not usually scrupulously honest in tho aggregate. When tho groat fire con he was persistent student, and he believed that they needed Immensely a union ot knowledge with religious faith. What was precioUB to him was men with brains and oaituro added, who had hearts devoted to God and Bympatmes witn tne onus ana tno oujocts wiuai xlu uuu come into tho world to advance.

He trusted they would appreciate the advantages which had been Oeetowcd upon them in the form of a cultured and refined pas ln. that rha navf WARTO Wnllld RAft tnn.TT lu he midst of a community that shall have ceased to have thrown stones of acorn or to havo raised the eyebrowB of suepioion, or to have filled to havo offered THE HANDS OB BEAD AFFEOTIONATE FELLOW SHIP to the denomination. Ha commended to them that part of their minister's life which consisted of his earnest etudiousness, ond he hoped that thoy would not oxpect too much from him in purely parochial ways aa to interrupt that noble eeries of endeavors, which ho nad Deen mamng, in a systematic way to auvauce yai. ticular lines of thought and particular courses of Btudy. Tho Rov.

Dr. Chadwlck eaid he felt flattered at what had been said, but he didn't believe one half of it and he knew that tho speakers didn't moan one word they had said. rLaushtor.l It had been their intention to have a social entertainment also, but tho arrangement of tho church would not permit of it He therefore invited all to oall at hiB residence this evening No. 620 Carlton avenue, and ho expected thoy would oil have a good time. Another hymn waa sung, after which the Tier.

Dr. Farley prayed. Dr. Chadwlck then dismissed the audi enco with the benediction. SANlTARr.

Lawson of tho Greouwood Baptist Church, was inlroduced by the President and spoko as follows on "THE STATE OF RELIGION IN BROOKLYN BAPTIST OHUnCHEB." Mb. Chaibmah AMD BBETBnES I am asked to read a brief paper on tho Wintcr'a work which shall show to day's tide work in the religious lifo of our Baptists Ciiurohos. Wiion our association closed its cession last Ootobor. tho city was being stirred by an extra religious effort which as an experiment at least iutorestod overybody. Our Baptist Churches seem not to have gained many of tho converts, but it was to us lu common with other Christians no small gain that tho Moody and Sankoy work turned the people away from church ocandals to Bearohing tho scriptures and singing tho songs of Balvalion.

It was a gain to us in toning up tho piety of the peoplo and quickening the preachers with new life. It was a gain ttiua to worship and work as tho year epod to its close in that we were not left this tlmo stranded upon tho beaoh by tho ebb tido of holiday wook. Nay, rather tho life currents which rose at the ltink and flowed forth on every elde swept us as with a gentle flood over into the now year. Wailing on God and working together with Him the well of water was springing up into everlasting life In many hearts ore tno woeK oi prayer oogan. It is well at any Beaaou to pause aud look out on the hold; it 1b timely aiad tvapouant to day since new, por hapavte might say strange, efstnencs iar catered tho past year Into tha histors' ot our churoh lifo In Brooklyn.

Our dally papers aro second to nono In unearthing corruption and spreading to tho four winds ot hoaven political, social or religious sotted linen. Hence, with our full share of civil doiections, and moro than our share of churoh troubles, what ha3 been throughout tho country dribbling ot dlrtiuess has beon to us a flood of filth, and it haa boon found that church sewerage does not, in tho flrst instance at least, conduce to spirituality. Ono of the strongest and best churchos has boon rent aud torn by strife, aud tho community, through tho papers, have looked iu upon scenes which criuisonod tho cheek of every Baptist In tho city. Added to all this a money orisls has so laid Ub pall upon our church work as to shrink Christian beuellcence in overy direction. Despite thoso odds wo have grown solidly and without exceptional means.

Ono church only haa had a rovivalist, aud ono which has usually Bought such aid, though without it this year, has prospered moro than ever. It is charged against soino churches that tho popular and not the truo, the oar3 of tho people nnd not tho cy; of God, tho crowded houso and not tho working church, soom to ho tho chief thought. Whilo wo trust that this Is not truo of any, wo believo that our growth as a denomination may bo traced to those old apostolic practices, tho pastor preaching, pleading with men for God; tho peoplo praying, pleading with Cod for mon, and nil working together with Him. As preventives to piety might bo named tho religious uoticos on I Saturday nigbis. The papers teem with toplos lust the thing to turn vaui oaca upuu us iviin a soaining rebuke lest wo multiply thoso who havo itching cars.

BaptlBts havo not boon sinners abovo others, yet some of our pastorB live in glaBB houses, aud if wo fling etonos they may robound. But wo are porsuaded that this year from our pulpits Christ has been proached with simplicity and in tho demonstration of the npirit anil in nower. Our denominational nnnciples are ut tered in clear and bold tones. Our sooiel meetings are more directly proutabio ana larger in numbers, wmio cottage aud neighborhood meetings are especially blessed. Deep interest In tho work of tomporanoe is shown, house to houso visitation is growing, prayer, persuasion and personal effort aro honored, and moro true missionary work Is wrought than formerly.

Open Thou miuo eyes, that I may heboid wondrous things out of Thy low, is tho prayer ot many who study tho Bible with fresh zeal. Somo of our business mon hold tho Word of God to be the best day book thoy oan find. One member of this Union has a lovo for Bible study we should rejoioo to See equallod by all. Undoubtedly the International SerieB of Bible Lessons contributes largely to this result, slnoo mBn from various Bohools mooting on tho street, or oar or boat, And a common topio of Interest or Inquiry, in tho lesson for tho uoxt Lord's Day. Wa find a more careful pruning and sifting of tho membership, greater liberality iu giving, a healthful and steady growth of denominational sell respect; In a wnnl.

higher tvoo ot porsonal consecration to Christ and His church. We nro porsuaded that when full croditis given for ail disturbing forces, It will be found that we havo onjoyod a moro solid as well as a greater proportionate gro th during the six months just past, than for a long timo previously. If thiB view should seem to bo drawn In colors too bright, lot us with a tow figures mane uiom last colors. ADDITIONS FOn FtYE MONTHS. FROM NOVEMDSB 1, 1876, Ban CnnTob.

H. Camp, Bcv. Henry TV. Bellows and Otnersi An occasion of Deep interest. The Second Unitarian Churoh celebrated its twenty flfth anniversary last evening, in the church edifice, corner of blinton and Oongreas Btreets.

The congregation and friends of the church completely filled the auditorium. The altar wis appropriately de corated with flowers, and an excellent musical programme was prepared for the occasion by Mr. H. O. Kortlioucr, organist, and rendered by the choir, comprising Miss Ida F.

Sweotior, soprano Mrs. 3. E. Draper, alto Mr. Edward if.

Bale, tenor Mr. E. 3. Ohapln, bass. The entertainment was opened with an organ volun tary by Mr.

Eortheuer, after which the ohoir sang a ToDenmln 0," In a highly arrlstio manner. Ihe pastor, the Bev. John W. Ohadwick then delivered the following address THE PASTOH 'S ASDBESS Sit: PsrsifDs: We ore met bore Ibis evening to eel ebrato the Twenty fifth Anniversary ot the first meeting of this society, for publio worship and preaching. The backward look is always appropriate but there are certain seasons, as our new Year's ana uaruimas, on birthdays and weddings, and certain anniversaries centennial and eeml aentennial, and so on, upon which it Is especially natural to look back into, the past and gather up its hopes and lessons.

But five and twenty years make np so abort a period, and this sooiety of ours, is such a very little one in comparison with the trroat eoolesiastloal organizations thriving all about us In this City of Churches, we have made so Utile noise comparison witu inese, ana nave naa bo xew ministers, as ministers now come end go, that a cynical porson or one not very cynical, might easily doubt why we should celebrate the anniversary of our birth or baptism, whiohever that first public meeting was, But to others, and to more thoughtful nprsons, it must certainly appear, that if you have no good reason to hold this day some little festival, men ougnt you 10 De nuea witn Bname auu ouueampt; then ought you to Borlously consider whether your name should not be blotted from the roll of churches. It ought to mean something, it ought to mean a great aeai, mat xor uvo ana iwemy years you ubyb euaeav ored to uphold tho standard of liberal Christianity, of rational religion, in this place. If you have not been wholly faithless to your trust, It does mean a great deal. And you have not been faithless. You have desired to know tho truth and follow it.

You have encouraged your miniBterB to dig for it as for hid and to report to you the glint of it. You have not been satisUod with a presentation of religion exclusively, emotional or exclusively intellectual or exclusively moral. You have contended uniformly that char actor is more than creed, that moro morality is an expression which no man could ever uso whose own moral nature had not Bomo radical defect, but at tho tame time you have loved the truth for its own sake you have found the spirit of truth indeed a comfortor you have seen and felt that THE INTELLECT IS A QOOD THING) IN ITSELF, and that it Is not to be snubbed and thwarted. And you have believed in sentiment and in emotion, not in the choap febrile emotlou gendered by expectant attention operating under morbid conditions not in the sentiment that wreaks itself upon expression that makes tho contortions of tho syhu the measuro of hor aspiration, but in sentiment, which is the flower of patient thought, and In emotion, whioh hushes us into silenco, which layB a warning finger on our hps what time wo Beem to hear a voice that Bays to us, "13a still, and know that I am Ood." Because you have encouraged such. a presentation of religion; because it baa beon to you satisfying and consoling because so many sturdy growtbB of friendship and affection have flourished hereunder its kindly ray booaose yon have beon so happy In each other and in your teachers, and because tbey have bo rejotoed In you because you have founa yourself in harmony with the great leading tendencies of modern thought, and have felt these tendencies to be essentially religious; because vim havo had all tho great poets, and novelists, and scientists and pUilosophers, upon your side, because you havo no fears that truth will ever ieaa anay owe bud revoreuuo ltoui i i.uui the houe of immortality, or from the moral principle; because the memory ot bo many beautllnl and ardont spirits who havo boon with you in the past, inspires your present nope ana action, oboiubu mmvuu do maay have departed, so many still remain, as good as auy goue Ono e.iual temper of heroic honrts, Miido strong by time n1 late and strong in vtul Tostjive, tDSook, to find and not to yield.

because of all thpso things you havo done well I think to gather hero to night to thank God for HIS OBEA.T GOODNESS TO TOU IN THE PAST, and to take courage for tho future. Tho old reek poetB, otter tbey had sung their odo satirical or paneayrical, used sometimes to Binij a palin ode, softening the satire or Improving on too panegyric. To compare email things with great, I sang my ode last Sunday morning, i. I preached my sermon, and I have no puiio oue to sing to njgnt. inure was no satire to retract, tbero wo3 no panegyric to Improve upon.

It was a Btanplo, uneventful story to which much might havo beenaddodhndl cared to tax your patience further. I had hoped to night to be entirely poBBive and recipient, and to let aoiue one ot you spoak for the society tho word of welcome to such old friends sb may bo gathered with us, and to those who have come hero to epeak to us some word of warning or congratulation. I dare to eay congratulation, because I foel that we have much to be congratulated on, though wo have been few in numbers and have done ii thin rr vnrv nroat or startlinir. But we have boon united and happy In each other, and we have hem true to our light, ana whatsoever we nave aone or misseu doing we have not resortod to sensationalism and clap fran. TOnt I have not succeeded in inducing anyono of my pooplo to speak for me this evening except that Mr.

Potta has consented to read a letter from Mr. Long fellow ana letters irom tttree or lour otuer incnua to whom wero sent our cards of invitation. Let mo then for myself ana lor my people speas: THE WOBD OF 'WELCOME TO MX FELLOW MINIS TERS who are here this evening, and to such past mombers of tho society as may possibly be with us. There may not be many of thorn here, but we know that up and down the land there are scores of them who would certainly be with us if they could manage It, who are with ub in spirit if they know of our meeting, aa I doubt not they aro who have put on immortality If they have any knowledge of our works and ways. From time to time we nave lose many earnest inonos mrougn their removal from the city or to a distance from tho nhnrch.

Others have none. imsoUed by the convic tion that there wsa something in our theology, or tho Treacher's statement or It, whion dm not answer to tholr noed. We respeot every such conviotion. we honor ovcry such secession. If thore is one thing that I am euro of it la that my esteem for any porson has never boon diminished by his inability to accept my tesohlngs or by his withdrawal from my side.

Indued, by suoh withdrawal I have frequently been placed In a more natural relation toward ouoh persons, and enjoyed their socloty more than I could when they were regular attenoanta on my.vinustry. And if any old association has attracted any such go outers here to night, we are as glad to see them as If they could Indorse every principle for which we stand and every doctrine whioh wo preach. Twenty five years ago this day the' Second Unitarian Society held its first mooting for publio worship and preaching at tho Brooklyn Fomolo Aoademy, Mr. Ware preaching the first Sunday and Dr. Dowey for several Sundays following.

Dr. Dewey has sent us a word of groetlug, whioh Mr. Potts will read to yon. After calling Dr. Peabody and James Freeman Olarko and Horatio Steb bins, and not getting either ono, the Sooiety called Thomas Starr King in January, '53, and I hold in my hand a letter whioh he wrote to Mr.

Seaver than whom thiB Society haa never nad a moro aevoieu zriena aiior he had written to tho Society declining then invitation. From King tho onward looking ones turnod to Samuel Johnson, a olassmato and dear friend of Mr. Longfellow, who was first heard at his suggestion. His interest in the Sooiety has never flagged, and you have often listened to his deeply thoughtful sermons. Wo have a letter from him this evening.

Then came Mr. Longfellow, and from him also you shall hoar. In 1861, after Mr. Longfellow had gone away, you Invited Mr. Frothingham to be your minister.

I am very glad he didn't come, for if he had come he would have stayod. Ho would have had a good time and you wo ulJ havo had a good time, nut wnat sort oi a time buouiu unvu una Mr. Frothingham is here and will address you after we have Bunn a hymn. The hymn, Life That Makoth New," was then sung, after which THE BEV. O.

John W. f.hnrfwick. whom he considered In ten years' time would bo ONB OF THE SHININO LIGHTS OF BATIONAXi BE LIQION in America, The Second Unitarian Churoh, under Its nuijn hn AnnniriarAfi had done more service for religion, had a sweeter social spirit, and had exorcised a more distinct and united influence than any other society of its site that he knew of.

It was a model sooiety in point of unity and sympathy of its members, simplicity, freedom of thought and earnestness with which it had done Its work. He accounted for that sucoeBS partly by the ntter liberality of its position. It had been free from the beginning. There had been no onalifloatlon or approach to creed, but the preacher had been entirely at liberty to range over the flM nf tmth anil that had been done utterly without willfulness or waywardness, bnt in a devout spirit that was everlastingly to beprataed. The spirit of liberty and the spirit of devotedneas had solved what aeem to be the weighty problem of religion, and that problem seemea to nave Deen ouivwu uu, and he donbted if It had been satisfactorily solved any Aim Tt inui a niaiumnt thinK to think of tho twenty five years gone the silver wedding of the Society but when people celebrated their silver wedding it was not merely to recall the happiness that was past, bnt for thinking of the new happiness that was coming.

The silver wedding was another wedding it was anotner puKuuuH ui loiui THB GOLDISH WEDDING IN TUB FUTURE. That was the problem for them to solve, to continue to keep their faith until the anniversary of the golden wedding should come. There wa question in a good many minds whether the pulpit had not about it rfT. nrhpthnr tha rniblio teaching of relurion had not been carried far enough, and whether the press and the platform were not abundant substitutes for it. When he saw heathenism tinder the form, of Christianity sweeping over the community, and the pagan doc trine of expiation by blood professed by Christian believers, supported by multitudes, and with such enthusiasm that $100,000 could be subscribed at one meeting for Its support and diffusion; when he saw the prominent papers of the country applauding aa If an obsolete, effete paganism waa a converting, regenerating word then if he had had any suspicions that tha hour for liberal preaching to oeue bad come, be laid them by, and thought that the time was ripe for more societies like the present one, whioh would pledge themselves to truth In the spirit of truth.

In conclusion, he hoped that the church might be spared many years to promulgate the truth which It had been teaching for ao long. THE BEV. 6. H. OA MP, pastor of the Third Unitarian Church of Brooklyn, was next introduced, and after some preliminary remarks, complimented the pastor on the work he had done in the church, and of the relations whioh had existed be tweenthem.

He laid be thought he knew something of the reality, the beauty and the manliness of the work he was doing, and he prayed as earnestly a anybody that when he got down to glorious golden wedding, that ho wonld stand a shining light in the wisdom and beauty of truth, as he was confident that he would. He knew how tenderly he had gone out and In among hia congregation, and knew the reality and the worth of the faith he nad preached, and he thought that a church ma doubly blessed that oonld have suoh ministrations and such traditions, and ought to claim a rich, glorious "a hrmnwaa aongftf ter which Mr. Potts read letters from the Beva.

KSNBT W. BBLLOWB, of Hew York, wis then introduced. After wme general totto Undoubtedly the ballot; is td Promoted at all hazards, and 'the exhibit of what it cost and by whom" it was ddne remove's thVl 1 bursements from even the suspicion ft Bake, albeit the gardening weather brings Bakes to the front just now.

Tho Execution of Dolan.

John Dolan was hanged this morning for having on the 22d of August last, murdered Mr. John H. Noe. In the shape of legal service there has been considerable pettifogging done in the criminal's behalf both in the oourts and the newspapers. That Governor Tilden declined to disregard the evidence and common sense people refused to forget the general atrocity of Dolan's career reflects not at all on the lawyers for they have drawn yards of imaginary affidavits and set in circulation a multitude of vague statements designed to conceal the truth.

That these efforts have been wholly fruitles is by no means certain, as the following paragraph in a morning newspaper shows; Some ladles who came in 'aI 1 trove and roses. Dolan owes a debt of gratit iido for groat rains "floral gifts during hia hM appeared to appreciate their fragrance and boauty. This paragraph, we assume, represents the action of a proverbial sentiment and the operation of a half formed intelligence. The sentiment has long helped to rob capital punishment of its just influence, and the half formed intelligence is represented wherever people more ourious than cultured, mora forward than competent, undertake to revise and criticise conclusions that have been reached in accordance with the systematized rules of thought. There is no more room for doubt that Dolan murdered Noe than there is that Bubenstein butchered Sara Alexander.

The evidence against him was circumstantial, but the circumstances admitted of no explanation consistent with innocence. The murdered man's property was found in Dolan's possession, and every explanation offered was found to be false. If men who commit murder are to be hanged, there was no reason for sparing Dolan. On the contrary, his crime was one that merited the gallows in an exceptional degree. It was cold blooded, calculating and unprovoked at every step.

Morover, it was shown that Dolan's life had been devoted to crime that he was a burglar by profession and that the attack on Mr. Noe was but an incident in a career full of incidents that differed from it in degroe only. On the ground of argument, therefore, Dolan's sentence and execution admit of no exception. The sympathy, however, to which the paragraph above calls attention is worthy of consideration. Was it not an outrage to take him away from the "beauty" and "fragrance" of "his "soveral pots of heliotropes and roses" this morning, to tho scaffold If Dolan had been a living martyr if he had been subject on account of his patriotism to a dreary imprisonment the flowers would have been in place, but it is not quito clear that incense should be burned on the altar of brutality or that sympathy should be extended to the man who commits murder.

If Dolan was entitled to heliotropes and roses what are we to think of his victim Imagine an Indian from the lava beds brought to New York and shown pictures of Noe and Dolan the one weltering in his own blood, gagged, bound and bruised to insensibility; the other surrounded by dancing women laden with flowers and gushing with emotion while he, like a Turk, lolls and smokes in complacent ease. The Indian would hardly infer that the beatific Dolau was a red handed murderer with a long career of crime behind him, and that the other was a man whose life had been blameless and whose endeavor had been to obey the gentlest promptings of the heart. It would certainly stagger the untutored "child of the forest" to learn that the roses, the heliotropes, the sympathy, the ease and the cigars were the reward of murder and that the bruises, the grief, and the visible aaonv were the consequences of virtue, and that by this dispensation it was expected to encourage morality and repress vice. To onmolete Mr. Dolan's triumph, it was only necessary to add a brass band, a few dac oratod fire engines, and a torchlight procession.

There are, we trust, still a few old fashioned people who believe that murder is atrocious that the person who perpetrates it is an enemy of society, and that the iron hand of authority, not the rose leaves and heliotropes of affection, is the thing to put prompt ly and firmly on his throat. The Bridge and Commerce. We wish our vonerable friend Mr. George W. Blunt, was as accurate as he is active.

He seems to be at the bottom of the petitionary panic into which certain respected and unre flective merchants of the port have cast them selves, or been cast, by the wily mariner. Their signatures to the petition yesterday that the Bridge will bo too low, is further proof that if anybody puts any plaus ible statement in a document, scores of men whOBO interests seem affected will sub scribe to it without winking or thinking. The statement that the roadway at tho towers being only 115 feet high, and in the centre being only 185 feet above high water, will "prevent "the passage of 300 tons vessels thereunder has nothing against it but the facts. The statement officially made to the Secretary of War by the United Statos Engineers showB that, with one or two exceptions, the largest vessels arriving at this port can not only easily bs under, but that the largest vessels, those not 300 tons, but 1,800 ana 2,009 tonB, do not have masts 185 feet high. The statement further shows that the very largest ships which float can pass without difficulty under the roadway, by the simple process of lowering their topgallant masts, a feat as easy as it is for our friend Blunt to take off his oapacious hat in making his benign bows to the sex even fairer than he, for like "the jolly young waterman" sung of by Mr.

Anthony Humm, Mr. Blunt, to whom Mr. Humm referred, "Was always 'first oars' with tho fine olty ladles." The roadway was raised five feet to avoid any reasonable objection, even in the mind of Mr. Blunt, and the Chamber of Commerce also considered the whole matter and indorsed the Bridge plan as right. There is nothing in the petition but the panioky revamping of a case which was long ago authoritatively re futed.

The report referred to, of the United States Engineers to the Secretary of War, will be found in full in another column. CURRENT EVENTS.

A bill is now before the Legislature of this State providing that public school teachers, who sbnll hove nerved in that capacity for an oggregato period of thirty years in tho case of males, and twenty five years in the case of females, shall be retired on certain conditions, aud shall thereafter obtain, as a pension, "not less than one half of the amount of "salary received by such teachor at the time "of retirement," to bo paid by tho Stato, from ftjeTJnbteo. SlsAea Fund. The purpose of tbis bill will, Wo believe, commend itself to the warm approval of every friend of our free school system, The principle embodied in tho bill is just the policy it will promote will groatly aid the cause of public education; the project itself is feasible, mid the expenditure it involves will not add to the burdens of Stato taxation. As to tho justice of the moasure The Stale undertakes to provide for the education of its citizens to provide common schools for their instruction, just as it undertakes to provide for the common defense of tho property and tho lives of its inhabitants. In order to educate the people, the State must provido itself with an organized corps of teachers, and it commissions them, after due examination, by giving them a licenso which qualifies thorn to teach.

This license is to the teachor what commission is to the officer in our regular army. The army officer who spends the best years of his lifo in the service of tho State, is not in any country turned out in his old age to Btarve. A decent competency is furnished for him in his declining years by granting him a pension. In ordinary times there are few prizes to bs won in the army. At all times, there ore fewer still in tho profession of teaching.

Is it to be contended that the teacher's calling is loss beneficent than that of the soldier, or that it is not just and right that we should see to it that teacher who spends twenty five or thirty rears in ihe service of the State should atAtto dependent when ihe season oi aboT Humanity might demand that ihe old school teaoher should bo retained after his or her faculties had been worn out by labor or enfeebled by age. Tho public interest requires that worn out teachers should retire, and give place to those who can do full justice to their pupils. Tho pension project reconciles justico and humanity with the public interost. Again, the Stato in going into the businoss of education, and in taxing the citizen so that it can give iustruc (ion free, to a great oxtent, destroys teaching ns a pnvalo profession that is. it compels the teacher to accept public service, or take the alternative of abandoning tho profession of tcaohing.

Education is tho ouly calling the State interferes with, aud therefore thoso it virtually compels to enter its sft vico should be decently provided for. An individual employer can make special provision for an old and faithful servant, aud he is expected to do so. Tho Stato cannot under existing laws, and the law now proposed will enable it to do so. It has come to be accepted that teaching is one of tho few oallings especially fitted for women, and tho great majority of our teachers nro women. In the sharp competition for employment between those to whom few avenues of employment ari? open, no more wages nro paid than will command the required service hence tho female teacher cannot make ths needed provision for old age.

In the case of male teachers, tho State being about the only employer, there is no competition for their labor, and hence even teachers who secure a prominent position in their profeaion command no more wages than suffice for the decent support of a family. There are, as wo have said, few or no prizes to bo won in this profession. The public school principal in Brooklyn at thirty is reasonably certain, if lie lives, to find himself at sixty just in tho same position, and with no greater compensation. Is it fair to turn him out ot sixty, without some provision, should it chance that be has been worn out by thirty years of labor in the public service This bill is advocated by men who think it is not, and wo are of that number, Public policy is on the side of tho bill. As it is, women, especially, are debarred from accepting teaching as a life profession, because it offers so little promise for the future.

Tho teacher now is usually a young woman who accepts teaching as a temporary calling, which she is desirous of abandoning for tho first offer of marriage that presents itself, and with a gloomy view of an old age unprovided for, a settlement in lifo of no great promise is accepted by women not inclined to marry very ofton, as better than a calling at present sure to end in sad old age. Tho great need of our public schools is trained teachers mon and women who have accepted teaching as a profession, and who are content with it. Make some honorablo provision for the declining years of teachers, and you commend teaching as a profession. It oannot be done so well or so economically in any other way aB by the way this bill provides. The consciousness that long service and fidelity in the publio employment will bo rewarded will brighten and make cheerful the lives of those who may nevor draw a penny from tho pension fund under consideration.

Where death comes before active life is over, tho State is at no expense, but the State can cheer the life of tho teacher and prolong it in health and usefulness by holding out the assurance of comparative comfort" at the close of the day," should he or sho livo to see it close naturally, and as the night comes on. This bill encourages the adoption of teaching as a lifo profession, and it will enable a teacher to give a mind not always perplexed by fears for the future to his or her oalling. Qivo our schools trained teachers, free to give their best faculties to their calling, and anxious to retain a position which insures them a life competency, and our public sehoolB will be lifted up to a level far higher than is now thought of. For those reasons public policy is on tho side of this most beneficent bill. Tho project is feasible, and the expenditure under it will not be felt at all as a public burden by tho taxpayers of tho State.

The number of women who will spend twenty five years, and of men who will spend thirty years in the service of the State as public school teachers, will, from the nature of their calling, as well ot from the uncertainty and the duration of human lifo, be alwayB comparatively few. An outlay of fifty thousand dollars per annum has been fixed upon as the largest amount that would bo required to carry ont the provisions of this bill. It so happens that tho State holds in trust for odnoational purposes what is known as tho "United States "Deposit Fund." It was, in the main, a free gift from the Federal Government, given over forty years ago. It is now applied to various specified purposes, under our school laws, and at present the surplus revenue of tho fund will enable the State to carry out the provisions of the pension bill, so that not a dollar need be added to the burdens of taxation. The measure is beneficent, not so much in the amount of money that will ever be expended under it, but in the assurance it gives that the teacher can adhere to his or hor profession in the certainty that if old age overtake him or her, absolute want is not to be feared.

We trust this Legislature will distinguish itself by passing at least one bill behind which there is no politician and no scheme, through wbioh nobody except those who are already old in tho publio service can oven hope to profit. The bill, as oan readily be shown, is in the interest of true economy. It iB in tho interest of popular intelligence, pd thoreforo of public safety. It is commended at once by justice, policy and humanity, and we trust it will find no opponent in either HouBe of tho Legislature, and an outspoken and zealous advocate in every friend of our public school system.

Brooklyn does not need what is called SENSATIONAL PREACHING. There may bo thousands who really want it. No doubt there aro many who deaire.it. Probably you do not understand what sensational preaohlng means. I mean by sensational preaohlng that preaching which is made elmply to attract the attention of people.

It has nothing more in view than to gathor a crowd. Whon a man fails to preach for the glory of Jesus Christ, ho has missed his mark, he is off his traok. as a preacher of the Gosnol of Christ.

Tho first election under this charter, supposing it were adopted in 1875, would be in 1870. There would necessarily be no election for the office in November, 1875, and tho Mayor would hold over at least until April, 1876. But Mr. Colvin's ambition was not satisfied with this. He desired to remain where he was until 1877, although elected in November, 1873, for a term of two years only.

This oharter was forced upon the people of Chicago about a year ago, by the most unblushing frauds. Ballot box stuffing, repeating, miscounting and all sorts of devices, familiar enough to New York and Philadelphia, became popular in Chicago. The charter once adopted, Mayor Colvin fortified himself with a docision given by Corporation Counsel Dickey, and announced his intention of remaining Mayor for a year and a half longer than his term of office permitted. Publio indignation began to simmer. Mass meetings called upon him to resign, but he paid no heed to them.

The people were now niado aware that they wore in the power of a ravenous ring. The assessments of property by the town assessor wero extravagantly high. Associations wero formed to resist payment the courts were appealed to for protection by injunction. Unfortunately, fraud could not be proved, and the taxpayers wero defeated. A vacancy occurred in the Supreme Court, which, in Illinois, is the Court of Last Resort, and JudgelMckey, Colvin's Corporation Counsel, was a candidate for the place.

His opponent was a Kepublican with a besmirched reputation, and Judge Dickey was easily elected. The influence of this election was soon felt. The Citizens' Association applied to tho Supreme Court, and an alternative writ of man dnmus issued, calling unon the Mayor and Common Council to show cause why thoy did not oall an election for the office of Mayor. Tho case was argued before the Supreme Bench, and the citizens drew a blank. Judge Dickey, having already given a decision iu favor of the Mayor, could not with decency pass upon it, and the Court was equally divided as to the right of Mr.

Colvin to hold over until 1877. The Council, therefore, refused to call an election for the office. Tho popular feeling was intense in Chicago last November. Hosing, with characteristic effrontery, ran for tho office of County Treasurer. This was too much for tho community.

Tho gamblers, liquor sellers and bummers alone fought with him, and he mot with crushing defeat. Tho whisky prosecutions finished him as a nolitieial loader. The reformers made another excellent point by carrying the town elections, and prepared to make a vacancy for their candidate for Mr. Colvin's place by threatening to hanq the present obstinate occupant in case of his refusal to ao out less sensationally. As their candidate polled about 80 per cent, of tho full vote of the City of Chicago, itispossi hln that Mr.

Colvin will take tho hint and make room for Mr. Thomas Hoyno at once, But he may insist upon enjoyiDg his present office. There is no decision obtainable as to his right to it, except from the Supreme Court of the United States. Fortuno has dealt very kindly with him bo far, but in tho application of Ivnch law majorities rule. Should he be forced out he will have tho annoying con sciousness of having been "hoist with his own "petard." "Protecting" the Ballot.

The wretch who stabbed Henry IV of France had a fine religious justification for his act. Chief Justice Jeffreys, who so shaped jurisprudence that prisoners "hung that jury "mon might dine," was abundantly stocked with vindications whioh were imposing at tho time, but which do not seem to have served him since. Even Titus Oates had zeal aud the law on his side, till he was exposed in his true light. There never has been wanting any quantity of defense for any act any ruler or any government ever did under tho sun, when it was done. No ruler or government ever lacks a color of law or precedent, or a pretext in some discovered, produced or invented situation, for the worst proceedings and policies.

The persons who supposo that Government outrages ana Executive crimes are committed in the bold and lawless, "stand and delivor" manner of the ob solete highwayman, ought to be few. Few as thoy are, thoy seem sufficient in number and sense for tho temporary management of several American newspapers. It is gravely pleaded this morning, that Grant's order to Williams, to issue $32,000 to Davenport, was right because it was agreed all round that the explanation to bo made in case it was ever found out, stiouia De tnat tne money was used "to prevent fraudulent voting "in New York. This explanation suffers lit tle in emphasis for having been preserved for long years. It is put forth to day as good as new.

Davenport poses in print as the Protector Of Tho Ballot in the same columns that portray Dolan as showing how A Persecuted Christian can di3 Game. Just behind Dolan, however, stand the disturbing ghost of Mr. Noe and the matter of fact verdict of the jury. Just in line with the Protector Of The Ballot stand the eminent gentlemen who Protected it with him; "Kit" Burns, "Decoy" Bliss, The. Allen, Wm.

Varley the Black Tom. Murphy, Bernard Allen, Bar ney Biglin, "Rocky" Moore, "Hank" Smith, elid omne genua, "of whom some have fallen "asleep, but of whom the greater part remam "unto this present." Behind all these illustrious Protectors Of The Ballot stands the mat tor of faot verdiot of publio opinion on the whole gang. The Political Purist and the Christian Murderer to be studied aright should thus be contemplated from all sides. Facts which might interfere with the excellence of the President's peremptory levy on the Socret Service fund receive no statement, or a very minor one, in the quarters that defend him. It i.

not so much as breathed that he was running that year himself. It is oare fully withheld that even Williams could not stomach the order. It is not mentioned that the appropriation, for the Election Force bill was wholly apart from this Secret Service fund. It is not told that Davenport received the money as a person and not as an official at all. It barely suggested that the self proclaimed conspirator, Whitley, was made the covert go between and carrier in the matter.

It is carefully not related that no vouchers exist in the Department of Justice to show how any of this money was spent. In fact Davenport, who terrifioally demanded to be subpenaed, twenty four hours after he had been subpenaed, declares that he has all the vouchors himself. If he has had them for all these years he is a prudent man. If he made them out just before he sent his telegram, he is a prompt man. As if catching a suggestion from a recent event, the President's defenders declare that this is no hanging matter.

We do not think it is. Neither could a Governor be impeached for pardoning the worst criminals, if he sol emnly declared that ho did it to serve through clemency the ends of justjoe. The pleas made for Grant must be felt especially by those who make them to be of the kind which Truthful James alleged, when he admitted that his words were such as might provoke In the sinful a amile. Besides the same largess to the Protectors Of The Ballot was manifested in other quar ters. Only two years ago Mr.

John J. Allen demanded $13,200 and got $11,200 for Protecting The Ballot in Brooklyn, although his preceder, the late Mr. Jones, Proteoted it for about one eighth of the money, the year be fore, and that was a good year or protection, fnr Grant was rnnnine himself. Bill Mann's friends in Philadelphia are said to have got more for Protecting The Ballot in 1872 than even Davenport! did in New York. One mil lion dollars are declared to have been given for the Protection Of The Ballot in North Carolina, in 1872.

in August. Half a million securely Protected, The Ballot in Arkansas, sumed the business of the city, and rendered homeless about one hundred thousand men, women and children, relief pecuniary and otherwise came pouring in. Tho Common Council saw its opportunity and seized the control of tho relief funds, which it was evident would soon amount to an enormous sum of money. To provont tho corruption that such a system of distribution as these gentlemen contemplated would entail, the prominent citizens" used every effort to tnke it out of their hands. They worn aided bv tho anuroacliincr elections.

The newspapers then meaning iloraco wmtc and Wilbur F. Storey declared anomerguncy, and colled upon tho people to forget party distinctions and securo the eloetion to office of mm competent to straighten out tho affairs of the city. Tho notion was favorably considered. Tho political organizations worked in harmony with the newspapers, and after much hard work nominated a "fire proof" ticket, with Joe Medill at its head as candidate for Mayor, and Dayid A. Gage for City Treasurer.

In spite of opposition from the spoilhunt intr petty politicians, this ticket was olectodby an enormous majority, and in December, 1871, Joseph Medill resigned his connection with the Tribune and bocamo Mayor of Chicago. It is not necessary to further characterize Mr. MedilFs administration than to Bay that it was, like himsolf feeble and vacillating. He lent his ear to everybody. Tho clergy and the temperance agitators secured it, and rapidly embroiled him with tho saloon interest by leading him to the enforcement of the obnoxious Sunday liquor law.

His appointments wore miserable failures. He got into quarrels with hiB own Board of Police, and by his "Mayor's bill" expressly and unconstitutionally passed during his term of office by an Emergency Legislature, removed them and their sympathisers. The only wise appointment made by him was that of Elmer Washburn to the head of tho Police Department. Washburn's staunch enforcement of tho Sunday law alienated the Germans from Medill the Mayor's treatment of tho Irish made them his declared enemies, and the gamblers naturally sided against him. In lS7i the Irish and Germans, undor the respective leadership of Daniel O'Hara and A.

C. Hosing, editor of tho Staats Zeitung, formed an alliance and brought into existence the "People's party," which has plundered Chicago over Bince. There was no donying the formidable appearance of this coalition, but it derived additional strength from other sources. Rumor had circulated a story that David A. Gage, one of the proprietors of tho Grand Pacific Hotel, and tho City Treasurer of Chicago, had boon in tho habit of making false statements to tho City Controller.

At tho same time Mayor Medill, anticipating the entire wreck of his administration, left for a tour in Europe with his family, the Hon. L. L. Bond, President of tho Council, taking his place. The consequences of this cowardly policy soon became apparent.

A foroign ticket was put in the field by the People's party, with Mayor Oolvin at its bead, and tho fight became nationalistic. The Republican party nominated natives only. L. L. Bond was nominated as the apologist of Medill's admjstration; David A.

Gage was a candidate for re election to cover his acts of dishonesty. The result was as might have been expected. The coalition triumphed by tho largest majority evor known in Chicago. Hesing cablod to Medill in Europe: "Tour ad "niiuistrtion has been rebuked by a majority of over 12,000." Mayor Colvin secured his present offioe, and an immediate revolution was made in the subordinate departments. Daniel 0Hora, the newly elected City Treasurer, now disclosed Gage's dishonesty.

Tho city funds were short IGO.OOO. This discovery gave the new administration fresh strength. It was made a pretext by the now Council for imposing additional taxes, and the constitutional limit was reached before half the appropriation was made. All sorts of devices were used to dodge it, and in tho main they were successful. In view of tho malfeasance of Mr.

Gage, the property owners could find a ready scapegoat in the party to which ho belonged, and every fresh burden imposed was adroitly made to strengthen the power of the robbers who shared the plunder. The newspapers, which, by tho way, had unanimously supported the Medilliau adminis tration, were silent for a year. Popular feeling, stimulated by the discoveries of fraud, as well as by tho utterances of tho People's or gan, the StaaU Zeitung, was all in favor of Mayor Colvin and hiB Council The English press had lost its prestige entirely the Ger mans were governed by the utterances of their leader, aud tho control they had gained of both the city and county government promised to be perpetual. The City of Chicago presents the anomalous spectacle of a subdivided municipality. It consists of three towns, known respectively as North, South and West Chicago.

Those townB aro governed by Town Boards, consisting of an Assessor, Collector and Clerk, with other officers, and in these Boards corruption first began to manifest itself, and that too open lv to be ionorod. Tho officers of the Town are elected by a town meeting, usually held in some small apartment, to which only a few can oain admittance. A grog shop, an engine house, or the office of a Justice of tho Peace was usually chosen for the holding of town meetings. It was customary for the town rings to admit only ruffians and their own supporters to these meetings, and then and there vote upon an appropriation for running the town government. The law provided for a viva voce vote only, and, as can be well imagined, no scruple was felt in voting for the appropriation of sums utterly dispfopor tioncdj to the expenses of the government.

Thus the sum of $250,000 was voted at a town meeting to cover expenses which, as the reformers showed three weeks ago, would have been amply met with $12,000. Persistence in this brigandage opened the eyes of taxpayers, and a Citizens' Association, composed of honorable, if not discreet men, was formed to proteot the property owners.

The deaths from zymotic causes wero notably less than tho avorage for tho past year. There were only five deatha from smallpox, and only thirteen cases reported.

The mortality of the past week Bhows a comparatively favorable condition of health. The deaths from the four ohlef causes wero a less per centum of the total than during any week since that table for showing the date ol tho city's health was prepared. An examination of tho meteorological observations show that the average daily range of the thermometer was nearly fourteen degreeB. Such being the fact the ten deaths from bronohitls and twenty three deaths from pneumonia are readily accounted for.
