Loulio haviag resched the oity by the morning tinin from Louiaville, nccompanied by Heunry Wutterson, editor of the Courier-Journal, aud the flon. J. Stoddard Jobnston, of Frank- fort, At tuo conference betwoen theso gen- tlomen tho matter wns duly weighed und coosidered, snd the conclusion arrived at was substantially as follows: That the orig- inal proposition Was not feasible nor denirabla for varions roagons, among othors, that euch a wovement should huve the Learty concurrencs of all tho DomacratioStates, whoreas the Gover- nor of Virginia auestions the propriaty of it, and the Govertor of Tozas declines.

It sooms hardly possiblo that it will result in enough good to compensate for the loss of the lives of the many good citizons who porished on tho eventful 14th of Soptember. Yet all history tonchos us that, when matters in any country reach so alarming a condition as existed hero, tho only redomption isin tho shedding of blood. Tho good elfects ars-alroady visible in tho compromiso just ac- complished, whereby wo aro nssured of & . FREE AND UNTRAMMELED ELECTION this fall. Before tho uprising, Uov. Kellogg would have scouted the fdoa of an Advisory Board to Jook after the Stato Registrar of Votors, for wluch thero {8 no warrant in law, and would probably bave resonted any imputa- tion on Col, Wright, tho Registrar, who bears the reputation of nn honorablo man. Btill, without the proposed Advisory Bonrd, no mnn, however puro bis record, could satinfy the poo- plo of this State that ho was conducting that oftico fairly. Anothor good effect will be very likoly to ex- Libit itacll iu tho legislation of ilo noxt Gou- eral Assombly; for, whatever may be the po- litical complexion of that body, thoy will not dure to wasto tho money of the pnoplo of thus impovotished State in tho reckless manner which hay clinracterizod every Louisiann Logislature sinco tho War.

Henry Ward Boechor aflor his summer vacation. Plymouth Cuurch seemed to be a special cehtro of attrac- tion. Loug bofore tho bour of opening the church the crowd was waiting at the doors, All Plymouth the cara stopped at Orange stroot to add to tho numbors, sud from the forry- boats ther» was a coustant stream of hurrying peopls, Whon the doors wero opened, at about 9:30, tho soats were quickly filled, the rights of pew-holders not boing generalty ro- spocted. Fortunate were thoy wio gained ad- mittanco then, for the would-bo sudicuce on the outside rapidly augmentod its number. A force of policomon at the main entrance on Orauge streat labored quiotly, but persistoncly, to keep somo order in tle crowd, which would not believe that pushing and crowding would not forco an outrance, and to keop them from the doors when thero was room for no more. Occa- sionally somo lady or gontleman, a church-mombor, would bo allowed to onter, only to reach the door in a much-agitated con- dition and fiud their vonts occupied. At the side-~ ontranco a lino was formed, and some one guerdod the door, admitting only those who wero 10coguized ss members. A small number wers gathered around the door of the lecturo-room, but no strategom would socure admittauce. Thore, Bome disap- pomted in not gaining admittance, climbed to the windows aud stood on tho sills looking in, but theso wero quickly dragged from their porches. During the first pnrt of tho sorvicos probably about 2,600 people waited patiently outside, tho numbor gradunlly growing less as the impossibility of tocing or Lieariug the groat proacher grow moro ‘appatent. Ioside tho audionce bad sottled them- solves in Lheir geats, filling tho moments of waiting with & loud buzz of conversntion, in which cne could cateh the uame of the paster as tho text. Lbe ftoral decorution was very taste- fully done, The platform was fringed” with o bank of light-coforad lowers aud variegated lenves, Tuvorosos, lilies, gladivlusoes, ivy, nnd gmilax, which, with the bouquets ou the tableand desk, perfumed the airaronnd, From the front of the choir-gnllery dopendod & simiple festoon of sunlax, which, ox{ouding slong the gablories, was looped with bouquets, Tho sides of the church above woro sunilarly adorned. Mr. Deccher's ontrance was unmarked by any of the demoustrativo eutlusiasm o8 on Friday ight, Ile quictly took Lis seat and_the sorvinos began, ‘Tho choir suug tho To Doum, the hywws, proyer, and sormon followed. No allusions at el were mado which could have been coustrned as reforring to the troubles of the chureh or pastor, Tho sormon was upon tho Goverumont of Ood, which be lkencd, o3 near a8 human understanding could conceive, to that of a wiso, just, and loving parent ; upon what was God's will in relation to men, and reforring to Lhe lnman judgment of God, each other, nud themselves, in” comparison with what it should be.
