His party leaders are ongaged hi anactivo and bitter controversy, not as to tho best mothod of organizing a Republican victory all hope of that, of course, is relinquithed by common consent aud not even as to tho most efficient means of calUng out a strong Republican vote: but as to whethor the Republicans shall surrender to Tammany Hall, under Tweed, or to the Young Democracy, under Fernando Wood, who the CHiifn is tho brains of that rebellious body. In the oircum atancea it is not at all improbable that the aiuoere and non office holding Republican in New York City will resolve to have nothing to do with looal politics, even to the extent of voting for local candidates. The other day the Tribune inquired whether there was a meaner man than Rev. J.

D. Fulton of Boston. Its attention was immediately called to the anonymous but "wealthy and well known merchant," who said he drank lager beer with Fulton on a Sunday night and then told theatory. Nobody will be surprised to learn from the Tribune to day that the "wealthy and well known merchant" confesses there was no foundation whatever for his story in other words, aB the Tribune would neatly put it, that ho ia a "self proclaimed liar." A man who would outrage tho decencies of private personal intercourse, as he avowedly did, would hardly be believed under oath, aud no prudent person would expose a pocket hook to him. The "wealthy and well known merchant" being thuB put out of the case, the Tribune in pushing its inqvuries as to comparative meanness must turn its attention to the editor of the Independent, whoso latest personal exploit seems to have failed as completely as his scurrilous attack on Rev.

Suits Against (hat Official WUy the Public Docs not Suffer How the sher iff in Secured.

From time to time the readers notice iu the publio that the Sheriff of Kings County has been sued for illegal eelzuro of property, and that a judgment tza been obtained for a greater or los3 amount. Tho great majority only know that tho Sheriff 1b personally responsible for theso losses, though tho loss fall either upon that official or upon the public fund. This is not exactly tho truth. When a judgment obtained in court, a levy is ordered by tho Sheriff to score sunlcieat to satisfy the amount of the The levy is a trespass upon which tho Bheriff might be prosecuted, aud a verdict against bim, with theTisual losing amount of sfx cents again Bt bim. As this would not carry tho coeis of court with it, tho suit would, in reality, bo a losing one for tho private party.

For this reason it is never indulged, oxcopt in rare csc3, whore lil'jauU prefer the coungeh of their indignation rather thin those of their judgment. THE NEXT STEP is made with caution. After the levy has been made, a sufficient Is dlowcd beforo tho goods aud chattel aro removed to allow any interested parties to notify ihe Deputy Sheriff to whom tbe business of seizure is entrusted, whether any of tbe property bo ongs parties olher than the person ouut whom the judgment has been obtained. When suoh tamo has elapsed the goods are actually taken to the store of the Slic iff's auctioneer and sold at public It is al atrigiit, right and legal, ibet ends the matter, and the un'ortunate party who has been sold out by the Sheriff accepts the elluat'on aud egaia attacks tho world for iho whfch overy one believes to be bia due and right. If, however, there has been any if a third party has bctu injured by an illegal dhtraluicg of bis goode, he has his roincdy in law.

Therefore HE SUES THE SHEEIFF. These always vexatious and complicated, aro oftentimes slow and unsatisfactory. Hard, contradictory testimony is usually evolved, and court, counsel and juries are aliko punzled to do exatt in tho case. New trials, appeals, aro tho tatural outgrowth of these legal verations, and the full mcauircf of tho law's delay iB rendered appreciable by all concerned. This is ono cause why th name of the Shariff, whoever he may be, bo frequently appears a defendant in pur upper cot' rig.

There is a method adopted by) every Sheriff to sccuro from personal loss. In the event of a poraoa iu favor a judgment has been obtained, desiring io press ils sat'sfrction by levy, seizure and Bale, before tho officer proceeds to seie and sell ho demands indemnity from (he Tlafnliff in the judgment and two o' her responsible parses in double tho amount of the judgment By signing this document of indemuUy the three parties bnd themselves to stand between IKS SHERIFF AND ALL LOBS resulting from his official action in behalf of tho one whose name is first affixed to tho iuBtrumcut. And here is tho whole secret of being a good sheriff hiuden.

WBCH8LER AND OPPEHHEIM, of No. 301 Fulton street, had ou exhibition a large number of walking suits, cloaks, shawls, and wraps of all prices and descriptions. Garments of the richest material and design were in abundance, and attracted tho delighted attention of the crowds of ladies who swarmed the spacious Btore throughout the day.

Among tho number of elegaut suits may be mentioned one of brown silk velours the fikirt, just sweeping tbo floor, was trimmed at tbe bottom only with a flounce about a foot in depth, beaded with a plaiting of plush, aud a ruche of the same materiul frayed out a plain overakirt of the plush, open in front aud at tho back, and a short, tight fitting plush basqutne, both trimmed in the same manner as the skirt, completed a most stylish promenade and carriago dress. This suit, one of tho many Bold Thursday, wbb valued at $125. A less expensive, but very handsome walking suit was of Freuoh gray serge, with a deep, plaited flounce around the bottom of the skirt, garnished with a quilling of striped velvet ovor skirt slightly bouffant, trimmed with bias folds of the velvet and mixed silk fringe, a loose sacquo slight'. fitting to the form, with sailor collar and revere of the velvet; large sleoves. The suit cost the moderate Mimof85.

A stylish suit of black oros grain Bilk, aid Lyons velvet, price 3325, wos much admired; on the skirt a flounce of the velvet, headed at intervals with the Bilk, and lace in fane iful patterns; a eacque of the velvet with rich lace and Jet trimmings. For those of more raodorate tastes and means are other suits; among them the black alpacas ranging in price all the way from to $15, A very serviceable and stylish suit of this descriptionand it is one without which a lady cannot get along at all, may be hod for abont $20, a sum for which they could not be made, in tho same style, at home.

This lidy's establishment is further out of the way of general travel than many others, but her private customers know whero she ib and do not neglect her. A number of strong man. But far stranger it was to see the magnificent French fleet sail purposeless and powerless along the Prussian coasts and not inflict the slightest damage upon the foe, except indirectly by stopping the German commerce. The withdrawal of the fleet was not quite so inysteriovs as its inaction.

The marines were wanted for the defonoe of Paris, and the overthrow of the Imperial government may naturally have paralysed the action of the French Admirals, who did not know for a time what tho new government's plans in reference, to their action might be. But that now after a month's suspension of the blockade the French fleet should go back ngain to the Prussian coast and begin its career of ineffective demonstration over again, is as inexplicable as the march of McMahon or the surrender at Sedan. If the word "gasconade" had not long ago been inventrd and been of original Frenchap plieation, some sach term would now need to be devised to chcracterize the much cryandlit tle wool which constitats the proceedings of the whilom masters of No arno.mt of admiration for the glorious past of Franca, or of sympathy for the republican effort for na tional deliverance, cm induce sensible men to shut their eyei to the repetition by the Provisional Government of tho folly of Napoleon and of Palikao, in concealing tratln froai tho French ople, and treating them to fa'se accounts of sparious victorie Napoleon, to flatter the veniiy of the Fronch ople, persuaded them that he could ma ch to Berlin any time he chose to declare war against Prussia. Yet he mint have known, unless allhiiwarad ministr.tors,auddiplomatioagentsinGermany, were leag.ied together to deceive him, that the material odds and the state of preparation were fourfold in favor of Prussia against him. For thus deceiving himself, or the French people, or both, he has paid a fearful penalty.

Count Palikao, who sacceded to the central authority, outdid the empire ifalf in misleading the people with false stories. He concealed bad news and invented good news, until at last the surrender of the Emperor and atrny opened the eyes of Paris to the deception practised, and Palikeo h.id to fly from the position he had incd only to betray and delude bis oointrymeu. It now seems as if Gambetta and his colleagues had borrowed the same bad leaf from Palikao which he borrowed from the Emperor. The French people are assured from Tours that Bazaine has broken out of Metz and dispersed the German besieging forces that a whole Prussian army has been captured at Orleans; and that the siege of Paris is almost raised by defeats inflicted on the besiegers. It is melancholy to reflect what an idea these successive rulers must entertain of the intelligence and fortitude of their countrymen, when they think it needful to whistle all these tunes of burlesque comedy in order to keep up the national courage.

It was not thus that in 1 Tits the first Republic animated all France with the heroic determination to drive the allied invaders from their soil. They told the people frankly the very worst, and out of the siernne3s of despair they gathered the magnificent courage which repulsed their foes and carried the tricolor across their frontiers to victory over eve one of their foes. But now the French rulers treat their people as children, amusing them with fictitious and exaggerated news of victories. Thus the Provisional Government is for itself the fate of the Empire and of the Palikto ministry. When the peo jjle find they have been again deceived, their indignation will be in proportion to the frlse exultation they are now deluded into indulging.

The Empire is responsible for the demoralization which is exhibited in this would prove the beer before a jury of his countrymen on the testimony of "the well known and wealthy Thus the facts stood till yesterday. Two persons had respectively disgraced the func tions of the press and the pulpit. Two persons, one of whom had vainly invoked fame from the foot of Hastings, and the other of whom had kicked tho corpse of Dickons vnth the same success, had by apparent collusion, abused one another into notice. It was a business no gentleman could for a moment any more understand than engage in. Whether Tilton took wine for his dinner was important only the waiter who had to collect the lucre for the liquor.

Whether Fulton "guzzled" beer was of just as much importance. Ore arotic cirele of coolness, the Himalaya of congelation, essential to thinking these things interesting to readers, could characterize solely the per sons inflated enough to print them. The transaction can be explained only by the hypo thesis of collusion which we have advanced. A sensible being doing so would have to cease to bo sensible. A lunatic so acting would display a phenomenon of madness, of which insanity affords uo examples.

It was a joint agreement, in all probability, for dual denunciation as a means to several notoriety. It was carried out to the letter, as said, uutil yesterday. At that time, in his Boston Conventicle, Fulton "peached" on his partner. He declared that the "well known and wealthy merchant," reported to have treated him to ten glasses of lager beer, had been brought to bay by him, and by Bevs. T.

L. Cuyler and George Lansing Taylor where In his "palatial temple" of dry goods? In his marble front store No, but in the Independent office where report has it he is a bankrupted calico broker transmuted into a counter of papers. Cornered by this convoy of clergymen, the "well known," substantially took it all back. It wasn't recently" itwasfifteen yearsago, in 1855. It wasn't 'ceu glasses" it was one glass.

We remark right here, that if it was one glass, and if Fulton guzzled" the larger part, it is ai interesting inquiry did the "well known," guzzle" the remainder? Finally, when Fulton showed that he never preached in Dr. Armitage's church, to which society this much of reparation is duo to announce, the well known and wealthy," said it was all a joke, never dreaming that it would be used." Ah, too credulous counter! Neither did Mr. John Russell Young dream that the private letter to him wojld be used. Neither did Collector Murphy dream that the private letter to him would be used. But they both were used for publication a copy being retained in eaoh case.

Wherefore, let writers of private letters have a care After having mashed the ex merchant and casual counter in this manner, Fulton, in the interest of self celebration reports himself as turning on Tilton in these words "There will be no libel suit. I will not advise my church and society to turn from their great work one moment to prove you a scoundrel, or pay fifty cents to have you bulletined as a liar from New York to San Francisco." We call this neat. It has secured the apotheosis of notoriety to each person. Each by slapping his person violently and screaming out "tippler," "guzzled," "lager beer," gospeller," forger," liar from San Francisco to New York," "libel," has really attracted more attention than if they had both fallen into the cant of those who talk temperance for a living. The presumption that it was, in plain words, "all a put up job," is fortified by the fact that neither mentions the name of the "well known," who seems to have lied about the lager.

Odds would be declined on the wager that that merchant is not a myth made up between the parties to the conspiracy for self celebration. If personal pulpiteering and persona' jour nalism can develop any more nauseating and abominable partnerships of this kind, we will be surprised. The contempt that bears down upon the performers in this concocted comedy of self degradation, will bury them out of sight unless their assurance is as immortal as their screeds are not. But they may keep the i'liug up for days. There is no telling the lengths to which little souls veneered with vanity will go especially when so prolific a topic as their own want of wisdom and insen sibility either to shame or ridicule is the one drawn from.

Let it be remembered, too. thai this is a conspiracy, to all appearances, with two indefatigable actors, eager to assassinate each other's character, if onlythe world will con sent not to forget their names. The interest in religious affairs recently developed by Corcmodore Yanderbilt who went to church tho other dcy for the first time in forty years has had a remarkable effect on his railroad rival. Fisk, piously announced a Sunday eon cert by his opera bouffers aB a "Sibb. thfer.bival.

There seems to have been nothing Puritanical bout the entertainment but its name. The great religious daily newsaper of Now York, continuirg the prosecution of its Monday specialty, makes the astonoding announcement that the services at the different churches yeBterday were "conducted according to the forms of worship of the several denominations." This startling news is procured at a prodigious cost of enterprise, and its statement is accompanied with a series of Ber mon Bketches surprising to tho preachers, who will lind it hard to recognize themselves in print. ThoEngliahPrincess Louisa, it ia said, will have a marriage settlement of and a yearly allowance of 830,000. Tho patient Parliament will vote thCBe Bums and the patient people will pay them as the price of a fresh bit of brilliant gilding for the national royal figure head. As the Princess' chosen husband is not a beggarly continental adventurer he will be able to contribute something toward the new household.

That ours is not an Ege of monunjy.titB, and that indeed the time for memo 1 toonie aud mc, ble is past, the unp UciwenesB of the Lincoln funds originated ome time ago proves. The National ji Monument Association has pro cur che appropriation of old cannon of the value $100,000, but while 8200,000 are needed for the work only $22,000 in eaah have been received. The statue in Union square is pronounced by the New York Times and other Republican journals a rr.arvel of ugliness. It is therefore not surprising that the friends and' admirers of Lincoln hesitate to contribute to further failures.

Boeing on the Mississippi is again the chief Western sensation, and explosions with fatal results are once more in order. The steamboat Natchez is making a desperate effort to rotriove her defeat by the Lee, and when" last heard from was making an apparently successful run to beat the latter boat's time. It is not surprising that attempts to legally suppress the aport fail when it is encouraged by public opinion. So long as racing stoamera receive "ovatioiiB" at all the towns on the river banks, and racing captains are en tci tabled at complimentary banquets, anti racing statutes will remain a dead letter. The King of Portugal was careful, in his recent speech to the Cortes, to announce the neutrality of Portugal in tho pending war.

This siui plifica the situation and will relieve Bismarck aud Favre of much embarrassment iu future negotiations. The other day it was reported that Holland had resolved to take part in the French PmsBiau controversy, and was about to attack one or other, or both, of the belligerents, with groat fury. Happily, the rumor has not been confirmed, and mankind breathes more freely. On the other band, Train is on his way to the threatre of war by way of Egypt, and threatens to precipitate himself in full force on tho German flank next Wednesday. This movement would occasion intense alarm hail not Colorado Jewett promised to use his influence in the peacefid adjustment of existing difficulties.

The actual or possible coin plicatioiiB above indicated are the result of the failure of France and PniBBia to eomo to an amicable understanding. It used to be au occasion of wonder that the late Emperor of the French amid tho perplexing aud continuous cares of personal government could find time for literary pursuits. Evon nominal sovereigns have abtmdant occupation without writing books. Queen Victoria's volumes of reminiscences were regarded as marvels of royal industry, although she availed herself of valuable Helps in the composition. Napoleon was an actual sovereign, and that he had leiauro for preparing the Life of Caesar" was regarded as so improbable that it was confidently assorted that somebody etae wrote it.

It now appeara that thin bit of biography was not his only literary occupation. The Provisional Government not so engrossed in the defense of Paris that it cm not amuse itself with tho late Emperor's private papers, scandalous aud other has discovered the lnauusei ipt of a Napoleonic novel. Its purpose, in the thin disguise of fiction, is the glorification of the Empire and the Emperor. Napoleon has mot tinio io viiilo novols at Wilholnishoho than lie had at 1'ai That they will bo bad, tho fail li.v of and tho weak effusions of the Krapejor at the beginning of the war fully promise.

Streaks of honesty may bo found geographically or traditionally, but general principlca have always been the samof Away back in the Apochryphal teachings, it ia said, 'A merchant shall hardly keep himaelf from doing wrong and an hncksterer shall not be freed from sin." Tho Roman lnw had a niaxim caveat emptor "Let the purchaser look sharp." The law lias seen fit to hold, all the way down to our time, In favor of that practice. Tbe law won't encourage "flats" as many of them their mortification and disgust have found out. But not wiihstan ding theso vonercble preachers many people are inclined to a luny philosophy that the world is not bo bad ns many try to make out. After they keep bouse awhile they fall back upon the world's wisdom. Things may be different in rural districts, but here, in Brook, lyn and New York, the main idea is the shortest cut to money through fraud.

It seems that there must have been a time when men's inventive powers wero turned to legitimate, useful production but it also seems that now their inventive powers run as near to larceny and rob bory as possible, without hitting them. Making money is a big thing, but the lucky ones are thoso who add to that modern accomplishment, the art of spending it Trying to get rich without the latter, is like trying to fil1 a rat hole with rum. A sharp man will tride with hii money in one fist and (figuratively) a club in the other. There are a tbouEaud suckers afUr every nun'j money Your" butcher is a tucker, your baker is a sucker, your grocer is a catfish, your tailor is a sucker, your merchant is a Bucker, aud bo all through the trades and and perhaps you're a sucker As it is the game to bo sharp all h.d belter follow suit. In nou producing communities, where trade ii life, aud where tho common peoplo spead as soon as thoy irn, how to buy is a very essential branch of education.

Young family men find this out without argument. One of the first conclusions thev come to is cithor that they are foola or all the world are knaves, possibly both Owing to many constitutionally honest aud unsuspecting people also, to many who have not the power to fight their way, ako, to many who are mailing so much money that they can stand nibbling, andto mauy who bavo no timo to waste In dickering. Owing to these classes there is a largo community who are gathering a rascally harvest of fraud, and bad faith, who would bo in a more fit place digcing sewers and canals, if not in ring streaked uniforms breaking stoue. BMALL DKALERS are, as a class, uncertain. They have not, as a general thing, any reputation to loso; most of them don't to build up a reputation, and prefer to trust to transient custom and to gulliug tho first Ilv that comes iu their net trusting to seeing him again.

Dealers generally go on the principle that a bird iu the hand is worth two in the bush. Many dealers practise tbiB who are not so very "small." Trade is a warfare. A buyer must on Btautly keep his eye teeth cut, truaUng to no one's fairness. Dealers are sharp, and they will detect the instant a buyer is off his guard. There in hardly one item in the thousand of each branob of trade where there is not opportunity for a swindlo.

Demoralization ia rampant. YOT.JB CLOTHING. Unices you have your own steady furnishers, proved and true, which is always tho beat way, you aro no moro likely to make a bargain tho first time, than to become an adept salesman upon the instant.

THE SHOEMAKER is a fellow who try to make ono believe black is white. He is as bad aa the photographer. And in the mechanic arts it is not every man who calls himielf a mechanic that is one.

Some of them buy diseased meat, and some of them keep meat too loug but to the unprofessional eye it all appears the same on the block. These remarks will apply to fish and vejotables. Borne dcslors buy the cheapest tone or quality, and sell for tho dearest. Every man who provides for a family mutt be content to smell of every iota, feel of it, turn it over, and bo satisfied before he leaves tbe store. Iu short, sharpness must be assiduously cultivated.

PUBNI8HING ABTldLES. In the thousand articles that furnish a hou3c there is liability to a thousand swindles. Dealers will geueral'y sell in somo dark corner, stoutly assovcrating the genuineness of tho article. One pays for it and take3 it home, thinking the dealer would not iio and jaopordire bis reputation and custom, but finds on receiving the goods thero is a flaw. TVherc we find a dealer who will take anything back, or even repair it after it hn been once paid for and removed, we will of hair in iho hollow of his hand.

Let a man buy auyih'ug wii out examining it, and ninety nine chauce3 in a hundred he will rue it. If he goes into a hardware store nnd beys four ccrows wherewith to tinker somethirg ct home, ho will perhaps, on arriving homo, find four screws, with the head off one of them, aud his job d. ferred. If he buys a hoe, and lays out an afternoon for gardening, he find the hoe crccked. or tbo handle erors fcTained and broken by a little procure.

Tho seller will ay, if the iron has cracked, that it never was ho when it left the store if the handle was he will say that all handles are so. THE SAFE EULE is a thorough testing and fiouuding of every article r.ud trusting to nobody. Any mau who osk.s yiu if you have no confidence iu him, you should ask him if he is ou the confidence game. BUILDERS and thobc who repair houses are generally hard eases. They can generally double ou a per.

ou. They art ull great on their "time." Their time something ot a mysterious intrinsic value. A fellow will talk about hid "time" who in not tit to carry viscera to a bear. Some men who call themselves mechanics talk about their "time' in a job, who eja't turn amund without breaking something. Most mechanics instead of charging for the good they do, think the world owes them a liviug, aud that the Almighty when he brought them into tbe world, merely forgot to send abng with them a letlor of credil.

Tired mechanics n6V a days are never hoard of. Iu employing a painter, a carpenter, a maBon, or a tinner, mako your contract to the minutest specification, then let thorn go to thunder with their "time;" but even thcu, unless care is taken, one will be swindled on the material. Tho cause of this general provalence of bad faith and fraud in cities is want of ncauaiutaucj amonT the people.

rent. Xhe Venality of the Period The Rev. H. W. Beecher preached last evening on the decay of the moral virtues.

He said: The spirit of honesty aud truthfulness in failiug, anil astrong tendency to relax tueso principles is evident. IMshonesty 13 growing in boldness aud strength, not online niglier crimes against the law, but there is a growing want of fidelity in evory business trade aud profejs Jon. Venality is also increasing. Tlw cendnucy of money is almost universal. Thero was a time when'yoii could not buy everything, but what can you not now 1 otes, ministers, judges, magistrates, aud even respectability such as it is.

Money is taking possession of the most fdered interests of socictv, and the mor.il tone is being lowered instead of elevated. The causes of this have been a lax public sentiment reiultins from the state of moral instruction, the influx of a larye foreign element, corrupting the native which needed no corruption, the hnsto to be rich, and this Wit increased by the success which attended spt'eulalions, which necessarily surronudod us during the war. Every man who thinks at til), inns; admit that money is becoming more, ami honor less, the controlling influence in nil our public and associate affairs. No inquiry can be more necessary or more useful, than one which seeks to probe the causes of this decline in morality, in order to arrest its progress. Mr.

Beecher is reported to have named three reasons one, that there is too little ediication, another, that there are so many foreign emigrants, and a third, that the war speculations have developed an undue haste to be rich. The first two are chimerical; the third is the all sufficient explanation of the mournful problem. We will briefly dispose of the other two. It is not the lack of education that debauches popular morals. It is not the illiterate man who sells himself, nor as a rule who bribes aud buys the venal.

"When and where the illiterate man is found selling bis conscience buying up that of another, he is merely imitating educated examples. The illiterate man is the victim of the vemility of the day rather than its author. The quality of education may be at fault. Perhaps if less stress were laid on wealth and position in view of the young, and more were placed on solid worth irrespective of riches or dignity, the effect would be better. But the venality of to day is the work of adults who left school years ago, and to account for the morals of public life now by the state of the schools any time these ten twenty years past, is absurd.

The second explanation of Mr. 13eecher is equally inapplicable. He names "ministers, judges, magistrates" as among the venal classes. How many of these are of foreign birth? As a rule, the men of foreign birth are in lower bocial position, aud are less educated. It may be flattering to Mr.

Beecher's congregation to attribute the venality in the community to the uneducated aud to the men of foreign birth, but is not true, nor does it help toward a reform. It amounts to saying that when Mr. Beecher rebukes venality he means to be understood by his congregation as referring, not to them, but to those ignorant foreigners: "There is much evil in the world, brethren, but thank the Lord we are spotless: it is only those illiterate emigrants that I refer to as tin offenders. We are the Pharisees, the sail of the earth they are the publicans an 1 sinners that have brought venaliiy iiilo our wiiue pure community." All this is rdly ooinpruiuise with conscience. The pr feels bound to denounce the prevalent sin of the day.

but he is determined alto not to offend or censure his own hearers. It would be fair, in view of this Pharisaic denunciation of other 2eople, to ask whether Plymouth church, instead of being spotless, has not more than an average share of responsibility for the worship of money which is sapping the roots of popular morality. Where else have the very seats in the Lord's house been scandalously held up as the reward of the deepest purse instead of the deepest piety? When money will hire for an open reprobate a front seat which a lifelong church member cannot obtain by the utmo devoilon to the service of religion, is it any wonder that money can get advantages in the Legislature and in the Courts? If the money changers can parcel out the seats in the Temple, thrusting back the saints and devotees, is it surprising that the almighty dollar has too much to say in our politics aud in our law It does not seem fitting that the rostratn of an expensively auctioned gospel should resound with denunciations of venality, as especially attributable to the illiterate and the foreign born. But the third explanation given by Mr. Beecher is the real, sole and sufficient one.

There is an accursed haste to be rich, bred of the war and its shoddy contract speculations, and kept alive by a tariff whose excessive rates and frequent changes convert honest business into a gambler's lotiery. There is, furthermore, a false creed of politics, which pardons any personal infamy in consideration of partisan loyalty. There is a political organization which has ruled every one of its statesmen and original leaders into outlawry and disgrace, because they would not swallow blindly every jobbing scheme its managers devised. Not to mention Chase, Blair. Seward, Doolittle, Adams, Cowen, Dixon and others long since driven away from the party they founded, we may to day point to Sumner.

Carl Schurz, Gratz Brown and others who are being ostracised by President Grant beca.iso they could not swallow his San Domingo job. While able nnd good men are persecuted for not going in for everything the party managers find profitable, bad men like Sic'cles, Nye, Butler, and Ashley of Colorado, are kept in power and place because of their one merit of partisan ortlioil The church made itself a tender and f. reder to a party no man doing more in this than Mr. Beecher. And the party keeps ihe rogues in power because they are faithf id to it, while false to their official and personal honor; and the church srpports the party, while the party supports the rogues: and then the church wonders why roguery flourishes.

But the responsibility of the church dbes not stop here. It talks against vice, but maintains no effective discipline against the sinners. It ban a holy horror of the drunkard, aud a doubtful reception even jV the mo moderate drinker: but it cr jizes the millionaires who make their irohey by frauds just outside the of State Prison offences. The worst knaves and tooL, uf Wall street of politics are conspicuous the church. Knowing tW venality i jrect fraud, smart enough to just aw iKtbe one great and be fiMtiug t.in of the age, the church turns no cold shoulder to the monied knave.

Let him only keep out of prison, aud he can take a high seat tin synagogue, if only he will con lril.i liberally to church revenues. The drinking and swearing rascals of the day only steal cents where the pious frauds steal dollars either i busiiiu is affairs or politics.

No two navies combined in fact, scarcely the combined navies of the world, excluding igland's were supposed to be capable of encountering that of France. If there be any possible way of derstanding how Napoleon and hisgenorals were foolish enough to declare knowing that they had but three hundred thousand men ready to meet Prussia's million, it mast be on the supposition that they expected their powerful navy to be able to make a grand diversion in their favor by taking the Prussians in the flank. It was strange to see the veteran army of France hurled back, rolled up and crashed like a sheet of paper in the grasp of a The Yard Turned Over to Radical Wire Pullers.

"WHY THE GALLANT VETERAN ADMIRAL GODON WAS DISPLACED. Twelve Hundred Politicians to be Crowded into the Yard to Help Ed. Wetster. On Saturday the veteran and gallant Bear Admiral 8. W.

Godon turned over his powor aa Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Admiral Melanc. thon S. W. Smith, a pet of tho Porter Robeson Navy Ring of tho men who Bent the heroic Farragut to hia grave, by tho petty annoyances and insults whioh ombi'j terod the closing days of the Uon heartcd old chief I Jin Admiral Godon has been subjected to the di3grace of romoval or rather let us say ho haa been honored by Ihe hatred of tho men who insulted Tarragut while liv ng, and exposed his remains to neglect when dead bo cause he holds the interest of hia country superior to hat of any party, and did his duty to the Government rrespectivo of the wishes of conupt partisans. Admiral Godon haa spont forty years iu the service of liis country.

He has distiuguishod himself by his bravery in war and by his fidelity to the public service at oli limes. Two years and a half ago he was appointed to he command of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The term of service in this position is three years. Admiral Godon is removed before the expiration of his torm, because by bis bravery in the war he secured the enmity of the miserable clique of poltroons and partisans who now parcej out the honors and rewards of the Naval service of the Republio, and who are determined to drive from that Boryico every officer whoBe conduct in tho war servos by the contrast of courage with cowardice, of honesty with corruption, to remind the people of the injustice to which gallant men are exposed at the hands of the gang Who now control, through President Grant, the Naval Department of the Government. Admiral Godon was appoiutod under President Johnson's Administration as Commandant of tho BrooUya Navy Yard.

He was selected for the place because he was the best man for it. The Navy Yard had been run as a political machine for years. When a workman was employed in it, it was not asked whether or not he was a good or bad mechanic, but whether he was uccepta bio, to thiB or that local political loader, and was of suilicien account as a political manager to make it worth while to quarter him on tho public as a political pauper. During tho war as many as seven thousand men wero crowded into the Navy Yard about election times solely with a view of buying up this number of votos, by paying men with tho public money for doins nothing, except answering a roll call, and electioneering during tho campaign, and voting tho Radical ticket on election days. President Johnson made up hie mind that so far as the Navy Yards oi the country wore cjacemod the reign of partisan profligacy should bo brought to a close, Instructions were issued totke several Commandjnti to employ only so many men as were needed by the exigencies of tho public service, and when mechan'cs wero needed to select them, as private employers do, not by accepting political opinions aa tests but their eiliclency and skill as mechanics.

This branch of tho public servico had been demoral ized, aa was to havo been expected, by tho old partisan Byatem, of running the Navy Yards, not in the interest of the Government, but in the interest of political organizations. In no place was the1 demoralization more complete than in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Thousands of dollars of the people's money were squandered daily in providing partisans with positions in paying political relaicers for work they hardly made a pretense of performing. Admiral Gordon was selected as Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard to bring tbe old system to an end and to inaugurate the new. He managod the Navy Yard in the interest of the Government.

He kopt at arji'a length the men who live by political wire pulllcg, aud who look on Iho Navy Yard as a proper home for political retainers. He got a dollar's worth of work for every dollar ho oxpended. The immense saving he 7 fected wrung from tho heads of the Departments warm approval of his administration. PEESIDENT GRANT AND HIS SUBORDINATES. General Grant, when nominated as a candidate for the Presidency, toasted that he waa committed to no policy," distinct from that jhich the people might see fit to approve of.

His boasted that if General Grant were elected, tho public service would be controlled Bolely in tho public iutorcit, and that offices of trust would be filled by men who deserved to be trusted. Even yet the parasites of the Administration aro boaBting that Gant is reduoing the publio dobt, not by wringing war taxes from tbe people in time of peace, but by economizing the public money. In the face of this fetatement, it within the knowledge o' every intelligent man that all ovor the country President Grant is disposing of publio offices under a Bystem of personal partisanship, and with an uttor disregard of public interest, unparallelod in the history oi the country. No matter how capable a public official may bo iu this State, if ho is a friend of Teuton's, off goes bis bead. In Missouri, any man who dares to sustain the liberal Republican platform of Senator Schurz, and the veteran Gratz Brown, must prepare for instant decapitation.

A vacancy in tho revonuo service occurs in New York City, and the huckster Woodford is publicly invited to perform Presidential functions, and to name am for it. Tho President, who boasted that he had no policy, is all over tho country using the public patronage to enforce a narrow, vicious personal policy, in a way never before attempted in this country. Mark how it came HOME TO BROOKLYN. BIr. Edward Webster, a carpet bagger in this city, a man who is known only to our people, if at all, as a former go between in the interest of Thurlow Weed, aspires to represent the Third District in Coogress.

Ey a series of disreputable tricks, learned iu Weed's school, be has contrived, at the risk of ruining his party horc, to got control of its organization. Ho has Bocured tho power to nominate himself, nnd bo is moving actively day and night to unite the worst elements of both par tics in his interest. Tho whisky ring is assured that ft "Webster is elected, bis inflonco will have the powor to protect its members, and tu enable them to carry on tholr business in defiance of law. The parasites who became Republicans only when tbo party had offloes to bestow, and who mean to leave it as soon as they loso control of the publio patronage, aro assured that if Webster is olcctcd, the entire patronage of the Southern District of New York will be at his disposal, and that there will bo office for alliu the Brooklyn Navy Yard, tho New York Custom House, and the rovenue service. In order to give an evidence of his power, "Webster secured authority from Washington to put as many men as he caw fit in tlio Navy Yard bofore the election.

Admiral Gudon was approached by the great Webster armed with authority from Washington. The gallant old Admiral was waited on by the Webster clique. Ho frankly told them that the Navy Yard would not be used under him as a political machine that be had no work for the men they desired to put under pay, and that if tbe Administration desired to peusion influential partisans with public money it would be necessary to put some other man iu his place that ho would not be a party to such knavery. Ho added that he supposed ho was placed in command of the I Brooklyn Navy Yard to guard tho interest of tho Gov ernment and the public, and if a partisan was noeded it would bo necessary to make a chaugo. Grant, to his everlasting disgrace, ho it Btated, at once acceded to tho wishes of the local wirepullers, and Ad miral Godon was ordered to turn over his office to his more pliable successor Admiral Melancthou Smith.

Thero iB not an inBtauoe of an officer of tho Government boing removed from command of the Yard before ho had served out his term of threo years, except for inefficiency, negligence or dishonesty. Admiral Godon is removed simply because bo would not be a party to publio robbery by employing men for whom there is no work I for political purposes. Hero is tho account the old Admiral gives of tho cause of his removal to a representative of the looal Radical organ In speaking of the removal, our reportor said "Admiral, what do you suppose you have been removed for 7 You had tbree years to stay bero any way, and but two years havo passed. What is the matter 7" Admiral suppose I have been removed for political reasons. I am not a politician, and don't know anything about them.

But I have been approached in this yard by Republicans who wanted to go in among the men, and who wanted to manipulate me. I was not to be handled in that way. I told such men to leave. I nover got a man in the yard since I have been here. I nover rewarded anybody.

When it was found that I would not wink at bucU political dodges, it was reported that I wan a Democrat. This is so utterly foolish, bo absurd a lie, that I never answered it. But it was duly annouuoed in aahington. and the losal politicians said each a word and doclared that the yard and its patronage ciiould be used for political purpose;) aud to adranoo partisan interests in Brooklyn. Cliques have waited on mo, but' I Boon informed them of my duties and my principles.

They then left. On Haturday Admirul Godon turned over the offlco to hlBEuccessor. OrdorB have been issued to place twelve hundred men at onco on the psy rolls. In other words, iu order that Ed. Wobster may have a chance to carry a Congressional District against Gou.

Slocum, an honest and high minded citizen and a gallant soldier, and in defiance of the will of the honest and independent voters of the district, a hundred thousand dollars of public money is to be squandered. It only requires the exposure of this scheme, not only to defeat but to bring infamy on tho little huckster Web Btcr, and tho little man at Washington who sustains him. That tbo scheme is generally known, tho following communication affords one of many evidoncos To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagfo Thinking Republicans and good citizens in genera' ask why a gocd, faithful and offlelent officer is removed from tho Brooklyn Navy Yard before he nuts in bis full term of three years, which ho lacks but three months of serving. Admiral 8. W.

Godon was sent to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to perform a special duty, to reorganize the concern, which he found iu a chaotic condition and bis appointment Bhould have lasted for throe years, tho same as his predecessors. Neither Admiral Boll nor Admiral Paulding waB removed bofore they Borvod their full thxto out. Ia Admiral Godon leas proficient in tho lino of his duty? No ho is admitted by the headB of tho Navy Department and his brother officers in general to bo one of the very best offlcors iu tho navy, which his career proved during the late war. While ho (Godon) had charge of tho Paraguayan expedition a certain American consul at that place wanted Admiral Godon to place a Htoamor at his (the consul's) service, to go up the river and trade with tho natives, to the neglect and injury of our Government, and with a large pecuniary interest to himself. If Godon would succumb to rascality he would be a favored one with the powers that bo, whereas, by serving the Government honorably and faithfullv, he has lost caste.

This consul's spleen may have followed him to this day. Lilto Commander James Aldon, when ha commanded tbo United States ship Richmond, on proceeding up to tho attack of forta Jaokson and St. Philips. Ho (Aldon) fell back out of his post of honor, and camo near throwing the fleet into disorder, but for Admiral Farugut hoiBting Mb nignal to advance. Which tho next ship iu lino did do, by so doing Buving tho credit of our navy; aud because this Aldon got a slight robuko for his cowardly action in' tho matter, ho nover forgave Admiral Furcgut and Porter.

Ho is at present the right bower of Bon. G. M. ltobceon, Secretary of tho Navy. Ho is Chief of Bureau of equipment and recruiting in Washington, and the Honorable Secretary of the Navy Uvea with Ibis man.

And therefore, tho pUnuttool of Mr, Alden, who iB tbe real mischief maker of tho navy behind tbo scene. Is he a friend of Admiral Godon 7 No, he is a jealous oneiny. Could he not by tho advico of a "Webster, an aspirant to Oongrcsj, limtoud of Oon. Blocum. Now Admiral Godon would not make cor tain removals for some of tho politicians.

The correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle has given us the General's rwining commentaries on the battle of Sedan on the ability of the "beggars to carry a hill for which there was a devil of a fight," and on the relative importance of the surrender of MacMahon's army and the surrender at Appomattox. Another correspondent has told us that Sheridan thinks the French have been out fought beeauae they are badly officered. Sheridan's latest opinion is expressed in a private letter to a friend in Washington, who has lost no time in making it public, and is to the effect that the amount of desertion and sliirking is about the same in the French and German aimieB, and that the percentage does not vary much from that in the American war. This is probably true. As no nation can claim a monopoly of courage, so none can escape its Bharo of the reproach of examples of cowardice.

The Cubun Junta has dissolved. In announcing the fact the officers say it will not paralyze in the slightest degree their efforts to aid their brethren." The disbandment indeed cannot prove veiy damaging to Cuba, as the Junta's operations have not beon remarkable for efficiency. It i8 quite probable that the membors will be able to do move for the Cuban cause individually than they have done in an organized way. They concede that of the several measures of aid projected by the Junta not one has been of service to the Cuban revolution." Money has collected, but chiefly through the agency of women, whose enev gy and enthusiaam may alwaya be relied on. The patriotic and sympathetic ladieB, finding that the funds they had secured by fairs and personal canvassing were expended to no purpose, finally resolved that there should be something to show for the money, and disbursed it for testimonial swords for heroes who had returned from the front covered with glory.

That no other object could be found for the subscriptions is conclusive as to the inefficient management of the Junta. LOCAL POLITICS. The IV ill til Assembly District Democratic Klass meeting at East Now York Tde Hocncster Nominations Endorsed (tucstions of State and National Policy Discussed by Son. Jjio. C.

Jacobs, cx Judge iTIoorc, Mr. Jo septa SCrauss, and others, An old fasbioned Democratic mass meeting wbb held in East New York on Friday evening, unde tno auspices of "The Jobn O. Jacobs Domocraiic Asso elation of tho Town of Now Lots." Tho of the Association aro at Richtor's Hotel, on Atlantic avenue. Strings of Chinese lanterns were suspended across tho avenue, and tho large platform erected in front of the hotel was decorated in a similar manner. Haussmann's band had been ongaged for tho oocaaion, and before the mooting commenced it headed a procession composed of members of the Association, who, to the number of abont one hundred, paraded through tho principal streets and avenues of New Lots.

All tho Association bore Chinese lanterns, the appearance of tho procession being remarkably picturesque. No element of an old time Domooratic mass mooting wai forgotten, and aa the boys danced around tho blading bonfires in front of the speakers' stand, they followed tho example set thorn by their fathers and brothers, aud cheered for Hon. John C. Jacobs, tho most popular man in tho town of New Lots. THE MEETING w.iK called to order about olght o'clook, by John Ft iw niHe, President of tho Association.

Nearly two thousand people wore then present. Among tho gentle men on the platform woro Hon. Jno. C. Jacobs, ox Judge lly.

He said the coming election would have both a national and State Bifnvificancc. It had been said that tho election would have no national importance, but if that was eo, iio ould like to know why tho President of tho United Suites hud stretched forth his hand and interfered w.th the operations of tho Saratoga Convention 7 It was well knovsn that Gen. Woodford was not tho choico of his party, but was selected through, the interference of the Administration at Washington. When Judge Moore rosumed Ilia coat ho was loudly applauded aud greeted with ories of "good boy," "good boy." After an interval of a few minutes filled up by music from tlio band, Mr. Joseph Strauss waB introduced and spoke at considerable length in the Gorman language, and was frequently aud loudly applauded.

ADDBESS BY HON. JOHN O. JACOBS. In response to calls of "Jacobs," "Jacobs," that gentleman stepped forward and spoke as follows: My fellow citizens. I had not exnectod to nirbt see so largo a meeting of the citizens of this town, I congratulate you upon your attendance, and congratulate yon still further upon tho evident devotion which you cave 10 uay, uuu wuicn you nave nan in years past to Democratic priuclnlcs (annlause.

Tho devotion which has marked your actions for so many years is now being rewarded, and will bo still further rewarded in the future by the triumph of thoo principles which through the faithfulness of you and other citizens have been maintained. For mauy years tho Domooratic party was in tho minority, and wo strugglod with tho majority to maintain what wo believed to be tho right, for lonj weary years we were told that we hnd no rights the majority woro bound to reaiieei. ro uay wo are in tne major.cy (applause), but we do not say to tho minority that thnv lmvn rfoMa which we ore bound to respect. Wo say to them that they are citizens with us of a common country, and that the party in tho majority will protest the oilizon in the minority. (Loud applnuso).

Look back at the past, during the years that wo were In the minority yon know that citizens woro taken from their homeland immured in dungeons, but wo do not into id to immure In dungeons any of those who are in tho minority and who necessarily differ with us in opinion, (applause), but wo intend to set them a good eiamnle so that thev mav be come good citizens of a good government, (Renewed appiauso). we propose to rcacem an the promises wo ever mado iu the past, and, however many our shortcomings may have been. I claim that in one year Min Democratic party has given back to the people the rights of whloh they nad beon deprived, and have taught them to respect honorable independence. (Applause.) To day you have your rights and liberties, and you do not fear the approach of tbe minions of the law to cast you into prison as in years none by. when vou had no rights which the ma jority were bound to respect.

Yet in tho face of all that haa been done by thorn, the Republican party now comes before you again to ask you for your sutfrugos. iuuu tuBjr nwui uiu uuiiiocrauc auminis tration of the State government, but I thank God that there is but eno blot on the escutcheon of the State government. My frlond.Judgo Moore, defended the EriQ Bill. Now I voted for that bill, but I am sorry that I did so, because I beliovo that it was wrong, and that Guv. Hoffman should not have signed ft.

I voted for it, as I believe Gov. Hoffman signed it, under a misapprehension of its meaning, and, I bolleve, if he wero asked to day, ho wouldsay fruukly, as I do, that be was sorry for it. (Loud applause.) We have passed laws which prove that the Democratic party is the tr end of the labtriug man. We said that none but now i ors niccnunics should no deployed on the new Capitol at Albany: the Radical papers Baid that the promise would not be kopt. l.nnnl.l Vl.

I L. i.lli. fill to great principles. Now how la it that tho Democratic party existo to day In this State? It is because n. nus lauuiuuy luiuueu every promise it ever mado to the people.

(Applause), and the Iiopublioan party is in the minority because it has not fulfilled its promises. It plead for power and made many promises, none of which woro fulfilled, and to day it is dead. They may nominate their candidates, unfold their banners, and hold their meetings, but to day tho groat Republican party is dcod throughout all this vest Commonwealth. (Ixjud applfluee.) I pray you, if you would give life and vitality to the government, lot no passion or prejudice divert you from tho great courso of duty that is to remember that tho men for whom you voto represent mighty prinoiplc3 which involvo your nroj perity and iuturo bannincsB. It is not vour nronnp.Wtv and bappincqs which are alone at Btako tho prosperity anuiuturo happiness of your children dopoud upon your action and, if you would give to them honor, if yon would give to them a lovo for integrity, you must uphold the Government in all its integrity, and that you can do by nhowing to tho great Middle States that Now York remains true to the great principles of Democracy.

(Applause.) If you enter upon this contcit with a firm determination to Lucccod, New York will roll up a majority this Fall that will toll thepeoploof the Central Statea and of the Kouth that, hero at loaet, thoro is a regard for truth ana honor, and for the Constitution, through which, and by whloh our Uberties can bo preserved. (Loud applauso.) I believe you will do this, and if you do, then you will mako a brighter record for this State than all the armies of tho Union over made upon the field of battlo. (Loud applause and cheers.) Now my friends I thank you for the kindness with which you have listened to me. For what you have uuuu ior mu in mo past i return you my sincoro tunnies, and if over it should be my fortune to represent you again, I hope I shall always havo courage to appear bo fore you to bo judged as I deserve by you. (Loud ap plr.upe.) Whon Mr.

Jaoobs took his sent "fchren elmnrn for Jnlin C. JacobB" woro called for, and the call mot with a prompt aud hearty response. Mr. George Davis boiug called upon for a Bpocch, delivered a brief address, eulogistic of Mr. Jacobs' oaroor during the last four years, and prophesied for him a useful aud brilliant future.

Shortly after ten o'clock tho mooting adjourned, after giving threo cheers for Hon. John O. Jacobs, tho noxt member of Assembly from tho Ninth District. EI oven lb Ward Republicans. At a meeting of tho llepublicans of tho lilevonth Ward, lield on Friday ovcaliiij, it wai resolved to upport Samuel T.

This turn ing point well attended to, every case secures the Sheriff from all chauce of loss, from any personal BUit in whxh he may bo mulct in damages, because ho has at all time 3 two good backers whom he can suo, and each of whom aro held iu double the amount likely to be claimed by tho person who has suffered by the Boizure F.nd sale. If a sheriff neglects to secure good names, be is to blame for not taking reasonable, prudontial, business caution, aud cannot espect any very great amount of sympathy should ho Buffer from such neglect. In such cases THE SHERIFF APPEARS AS PLAINTIFF, when be sue.1 the indemnators, aa be haa frequent occasion to do.

These cases are wrapped in similar contra dictions, misunderstandings, and cons.imo court, jury and counsel for mauy tedious hours. The lawyers rather like it, for a very manifest reason, but the in demnctors are sure to suffer, unless bko eels, the got used to being skinned. Tho rule may, therefore, bs down, that where a sheriff is a plaintiff ina suit he cannot suffer pecuniarily, and one hi which he figures as a defendant, in ouly forerunner oi one iu the Bme matter where be will be a plaintiff. The two fit together like two oyttcr she lH, the lawyers geiting the oystersi ihe indemnitors each a tbell, and the sheriff the juic3 as a reward for applying the knife. So much for re levin on claim and delivery.

THE PEOVLE ARE 8ECTJREI by tbo bonds which tho Sheriff gives. These securities aro sufficient, and aro annually renewed. The present bondemen of Sheriff Walter are Georgo C. Bennett and Charles Goodwin. As all money received ave promptly paid over to the Attorney In each case, funds never ac.

CLmulate in the bands of the Sheriff. During the term of Patrick Campbell as Sheriff he had about 150 suits nearly all of which are now settled. Sheriff' Waiter thus far has about thirty. In none of them except one was a verdict for any considerable amount. Iu tho Buits aro won by tho Sheriff, and eud aftor their first appearance in Court.

Thus ii Bbown that tbo Sheriff is not such a very litigious of ficer, nor his office ueccsnarilyso very full of worriment. Each elected party comes in through a whirlwind of po. litical trlfe, and as he cannot bo re nominated goc. i oat as a ebip Is lost in a maelstrom, Bilently, quietly, and generally finally. THE NEW CHURCH.

The Swedcnborgian Doctriue of the Second Coniingr of fhe Saviour Lecture by the Rev Chauncey liilos, of New York. The first of a course of lectures, to be given by the Swedonborgian congregation Iu this city, iu explanation of their doctrines, was given last oveniug at the new Brooklyn Hall, in Myrtle avenue, near Fulton street. There was a very largo and deeply interested congregation present, the immense Hall be'ng nearly fiHcd. The services were conducted by the Rev. Chaauooy of New York, who opened with prayer, thei rend a pcrtion of the Scriptures, and, after tho singing of an appropriate hymn, he commenced his lecture as follows Before our Lord left the earth.

He promised his sorrowing difcipica, and through them all His children, that He would come again. He waa going away, He wrid, to prepare a place for them, iu the raausioua of heaven, and ne promised to come again ar receive tt em unto Himr.elf. Thero is, therefore, good ground for the belief wh.3ch has always prevailed in the Church, that He would como again a second time with power and glory. The only differcuco of opinion upon the niibject is concerning the time and nature of Hw coming, Tne prevalent opinion ia that He will come in pcrsoa, and that He will be i eon again with the nuturrl i'j c. a man, an He was seen when Ho became i'lOJrnat 1 and dwelt upou the earth.

But with regard tho time aud manner of His coming, there is great diversity of opiniou. I shull first invite your attontiou to tho point that is genera lly accopted: That the Lord is coming iu person iu the material cloads. accompanied by hosts of angels. This doctrine is founuod upon a few passages of Scripture, literally intornreted. and eepcTatod frointheircon ncctlon with other paemgcB.

Tho ono which is generally relied upon to provo it, is found in the chapter of Matthew, 30th verse. "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and the a shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, anu they shall sec the San of Man coming iu tho cloads of heaven with power and great glory." The same thing Is stated in several other passages in tho Gospels and in llevelatiou 1st chapter, 7th verge, it is said "Behold He coineth with oloudB, und every eye Bhall see Him, and they which pierced Him, and all kindreds of the earia shah wail because of Him. Even so. Amen," Now, if ttose statements are literally true iu one particular, thoymutt be in every particular, and in all tholr connections. It will not do to make oae part of a statement literal fact and the other figurative.

It must be all symbol or all iaat. But if we adm't the passages which predict our Lord's Second Advent to be ttatemoutB of literal fact, we Bhall plunge into inoxpliw difficulties and irreconcilable contradictions, aa we shall Bee if we examine them with acouraoy. For example: In the verse preceeding the ones quoted from Mat thcWjit Ib Baid "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, Bhall Hie sun be darkened, and tho moon shall not give her light, and tho stars shaU fall from heuven, and the powers of the heavens sh dl bo shaken." If this should literally take place, the Bun and the moon would be crushed as more atoms in this concentration of all the bodies of the universe to oue point. There would bo no material he and the earth would be buried millions of millions of miles deep beneath the ruinB of these superincumbent worlds. But, after thiB destruction of the material unlverao, "then will appear fho sign of ihe Son of Man fi Heaveu, and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they Bhall aec the Spn of Man coming iu tiie clouds of Heaven." How could thero bo any clouds of these things wero to take place after the heave is themselves had been destroyed.

How could tho trioon of the earth ec the Son of Man coming when they wero buried millions of millions of miles deep boieath the debris of the ruined universe. In the next verse also, it is raid "He shall send His ango's with a grct Bound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from tho tour winds, from ono end of heaven to the other." But there would be no North nor South, no material heavens, for they have been destroyed. If we take into view some other passage; the difficulty will be still more increased. IS tho heavens are dc troyed by fire or rolled together as a scroll, there would be no clouds. Clouds are composed of water, and that would be entirely dissipated iu the intense heat" which ii to the elements.

If wo look a little furtbor along iu the same chapter we shall fiud another statomont, utterly irreconcilable i with the whole preceding account as a literal facL It is I said "There Hbnll two be in the field; tbo one shall be taken and tbe other loft. Two women shaU be grinding at tho mill, tho one Bhall be taken and the other left," yet previous to this the whole universe has b. destroyed. To make tho account still moro impartiable, this personal coming of the Son of Man must have taken place eighteen centuries ago; for in a subiqucut vinve i it is said, "Verily I say uuto you, This goueratiun shall I net pass until all theso things be fulfilled." Tho speaker went on at great length and with uamid erablo force to show that properly understood all theie apj areut contradictions harmonized with each and through their symbolism witi the doctrine of cnborg; that tho second coming of the Saviour waa meaut as a spiritual coming, and would ma iifo ted in such an increased enlightenment of the human mind as would destroy all shados of doubt as to the moaning of tho word of God, and ho claimod that the comia had already commenced, iu tho increased progrc is of spiritual knowledge. After benediction the aad amblogo disnorscd.

Au Old Charge of Arson Comes i AgiPin to the Surface CI tar pes of a. novel jt'raud. A ca3e was considered Friday, in the Court of Common Pleas, before Judge Van. Brunt, iu New York, which novel charges of fraud have been preferred by Margaret Larkiu, administratrix of Owen Lurkin, aga'ct John T.

AVilson. The gist of the story is aa follows: She charges that jn the month of May, 1863, Wilson executed to her husband a pretended deed of property in Brooklyn, rc reiving therefor $1,800, to recover back which she now brings this action that the pretended deed was not intended by the defendant to convey anything whatever, but that it was exesuted and delivered to deceased by defendant for the solo purp of fraudulently obtaining the money nought to be recov ered in tbo present action. To all of this the defendant answers by denying all tbo uUatfona of the complaint, At the trial yesterday, Mrs. Larkin testified iu behalf of herself: That on the day when the transfer of the money and deed wub made, sho bad gone to the market, and while uuBuut iuiiowuu uy ner son, wno uer tnat ner money was gone; sho hurried home, and on arriving there found her husband and the defendant iu te house, at a email dcrk iu which sho kept a note for $1,000, made by defendant, $500 in goid and $200 in currency; tt at the same time her hUHband aud the defendant exhibited to her a deed forsomo property in Broolf.yn for wh 'ch they stated the money had bcou prud u.t her husband put the deed in his pocket and was prepa ring to go to Brooklyn with his to look at tbe property that almost immediately alter tbe defendant had gone luto his bakehouse adjoining, ho sent for her husband to go iu also thai her husband then left his house and wont to the defendant's bakery, frcm whence he did not return until au exploaion took placo in tho bake house in the afternoon that when tho explosion took place she (tho plaintiff), rushed to tho bake bouse, and there found her hutband and son, who hd been severely injured, being covered with flour that after her husband hsd recovered sufficiently to speak Bho asked him whit to had done with tho deed, to which ho replied that it was in bis pantaloons pocket, which had been pulled off him while on fire, alter tho explosion; that she found the deed, together with some monoy, but at the same moment tbe defendant camo up aud spoke to hor about getting a carriage for the removal of her husband aud pon, aud that she let the papers drop ou the floor and then went to ber house that her husband and son died a few daya after, and she never again uw tho deeJ. Tbo daughter of plaintiff alto testified that tne defendant bud told hor at the Hospital that he had found the deed und had it iu Wb possession, and that at one timo Wilson had offered to pay her mothor and auother woman 00 to set ou fire tho building which wo3 burned.

The plaintiffs, howovcr, wore uou iuited on tho ground that tho evidence only showed that if any fuch transaction ever took place between the defendant aud deceased, the fact appears that money wtn PL id and a deed delivered, and that if tho deed subsequently came into the possession of the defendant, it wot by consent of the deceased, and if lost, he (defendant) was not responsible except for conversion, THE YELIOW FEVER FIGHT. Convalescents Returning to CJovcr nor's Island. The yellow fever crisis seems to have passed und tho disease to havo boon conquered without recourse to the disinfection of Governor's Island by destruction of certain of its barracks, as strongly advised by the New York Health authorities. Eight soldiers, two laundresses, and six children have been returnod to tho Island from Quarantine Hospital at West Bank, all in a perfect state of convalescence. According to the lato returns received at headquarters of the Military Department of the East, in Houston street, there arc at present remaining at the hospital forty nine men suffers ing from yellow fever whou five days ago there wero sixty.

THE ACADEMY AND XHE AEI BUILDING. Alterations aud Added AccommodationJuncture of the Two Iliiild Tho proposition broached some time ago connect tho future Art Building, for whioh ground has beeu brokon, with the Academy of Music, has como to practical issue, tho decision is made, the plans have been dAwn, oud tho work will bo consummated at tbe turliert poBeible moment. The wort men are now excavating for the foundation of tho splendid Art Building, to be erected in Montague street, adjoining tho Academy of Music on the west, iiua warn at a suincient height the new structure will bo made to connect with the assembly room of old building through a new buildiuif soon to be erected by the Academy, on ground ownod by the company, between tho present structure and tho proposed Art Bnfld 1 ig. This new edifice, or more properly addition to tho Academy, will have a frontage of eighteen feot, being the exact front owned by the stockholders of that institution. This addition, whilo mainly designed to give much needed accommodation to the Academy, and render it more available upon all occasions, will also greatly increase tbe resources of tho Art Association, who have arranged to ubo all the oxtra room of tho new addition whenever circumstances may demand.

1 be ground floor of the Academy's addition will have a largo entrance way (beneath whioh ia basement ou tinnce), a vestibule, stairway, janitor's olllce and a fear room. On the fecond floor will be a ladies dressing rom anda gentleman's dressing room, for the oou.voni.oucc of tiioHe using the UEsembly room. On the third story will be a large suppor room, ou a level with the assembly room, aud for tho use oi thoso employ Jug tho said asuoihbly room, or the gallery of tho Art Building, or both, us may often bo the case. j.uis om is 40.10 by 13 feet iu dimensions. On tho samo floor is committee room and a pantry aud hotetway, for elevating metds for the supper room, or statuary for tbo gallery, according to tho occasion.

The uppor story will be used as a store room. On a level with tho esse mbly room and tho now supper rccm, will bo a grand cntrauco, ton feet wide, leading to aud from tho Art Buildiug, furnished with folding doors, by means of which tbe gallery aud tho assembly mom can bo united, aud, if needful, all three used as picture galleries on exhibition occasions. By tbo erection of this addition tho Academy will bo enabled to let tbe entire buildiug at once, the old part being URed as heretofore, uud th? new part for balls, parties, which has heretofore boeu impossible, as when the assembly room was in use tho upper gallery and vestibule were also uceded, thereby, of courso, preventing tbe use cf the auditDrium for any other purpose.

Consequently the public press of France has learned to exaggerate and to lie, and the people have been fed on a mental diet of falsehoods and exaggerations and equivocations, uutil eveu a republican fears to let them have a wholesome dose of truth, lest the unaccustomed food hould produce suffocation or convulsions. The first requisite for a republican or any stable government is truth of utterance, and confidence between the rulers and the people. Sadly we see, and reluctantly we confess, that the present rulers of France, like the dynasty they have superseded, seem tohave a horror of letting the people know the truth; and no government with this fatal propensity to falsehood either deserves, or is able to retain, that popular confidence which is the basis of all successful administration, all in war or peace.

Lacr, Law and Lyinr, We alluded the other day to the sham quarrel of a Bos: on Boanerges and a New York "refo.iner," whose exact place in creation no naturalist has ever yet assigned. These specimen Puritans deliberately fabricated a feud in the interests of their mutual and several notoriety. The pleading subjects of this fictitious fight were their own horrible and entirely insignifi snt potations. The editor of the New i'ork Independent, and a Hub shrieker by the name of Justin B. Fulton, would seem to have organized behind the scenes a campaign upon each other, something in this wise: Each lacking a following among the sensible, resolved to fish for fools.

To this end private partnership was to be apparently contradietedbyapublicpunching of each other's heads. Fulton was to tread on the toes of Tilton. Tilton was to retort by a double leaded discharge of brevier at the fame of FnUon. Thus each would advertise the other, and the wondering world would stop the battle of bread getting to con (emplate both. Time passed on and the Boston partner made no sign.

He had perhaps forgotten all about the dual understanding. More likely he preferred the pangs of obscurity to the ills of prominence under such circumstances. It became ueces3ary to do something, else the globe would revolve unconscious of the unimportnnce of these petty persons. If fact would not answer, forgery must serve. The silence of the human race in general, and of Fulton iu particular, concer ag the editor of the Independent heart of the latter.

Accordingly, or anhistorical afternoon, himself and Fid' on'were both celebrated in a fearful and manner. A ready letter made to say that some such jour Che Religious Telcicope existed son out in the wilds of the West. In Ttripalpable paper was romantically inserted en unctons epistle, imaginatively emanating from the aforesaid Fulton, and dexterously addressed to the party of the second part then almost of expiring uuappreciatiou. In that care folly constructed communication, the surprising charge was contained that the editor had been peered at through the Religious Telescope, and that, by the aid of its powerful lenses, he had been detected douching his Del monico dinner with a bottle of indubitable and wicked wine, on an uncertain occasion, of which an awe stricken race was denied the date. It did not suffice that mankind should be tsVed to believe ina Telescope that could reveal a New York incident to.

an Ohio vision. The Buckeye is proverbially powerful. So far the indictment of Tilton by Tilton iu the name of Fulton was a success. It remained to crucify the other self celebrant justas delicately, and then the firm would stand before the gaze of a gregarious world as twin tipplers. Therefore, underneath this ingenious and presumably private letter for publication, was inserted a counter charge that once Fulton had preached in Dr Armitage's Church in New York, and that subsequently, "a well known and wealthy merchant bud treated him to ton or a dozen glasses of lager beer, of which the treatee had guzzled the larger part.

The only objectionable portion of this story was the wanton attack on Dr. Armitage's Church. To call it a church, and to note incidentally that Fulton hud aforetime fulminated therein, was sufficient to injure the insi.uution verv decid edlv. But this wits lost sirdit of iu the din made by trie netitious fury of Fulton. He acted his role excellently well.
