C. CIAS. 1. TROWBRIDGE, Tie MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1876, T At the Now York Gold Exchango on Bat- urday greenbacks wero worth 887@88] cents wn the dollar. We recognize an old friend among the tel- ograph dispatches—a quadrennial visitor which turns up only during Prosidential campnigns: “Set Washington County down for 500 majority for Haves and Wureren." “Whole troops of such friends will be coming mlong from this time forth—honest, Learty mssurances of what tho Republicans of the Northwost will doin November., Tho dis- ypotches said the smme thing four, eight, twelve, sixteen years ngo; they wero truo then, and they will provo truo ngain, Secrotary Brisrow will probably lenve the Cabinet to-morrow, his resignation having ‘been accepted by the Preeident. Ilo intends Jeaving Washington Thursday, and, after n ‘bricf visit among friends in Louisville, he cx- pects to obtain from a European sojourn of weveral months tho rest and relaxation e so -sorely needs after his long nnd bitter battle with thwe Whisky Ring and the adverse polit- dcal influcnces that have impoded efforts to punish thioves und collect the rovenune, Re- freshed and invigorated by hia vacation, he will resume the practice of law at Louisville, The Town of St. John's, in tho province of Quobec, is tho victim of a regular Chicngo fire. 'The water supply wns shut off for the purpose of ropairing the engine, when tho fire broke out, and, with a strong southwest wind provailing, the tlames mowed o swath gix hundred feet wide and a mile long, de- &troying about two hundred and fifty houses, ‘besides several churches, hotels, tho Custom- Touse, Court-House, Post-Office, Consulate, soills, manufactories, ete. 'The experienco of Chicago was also veponted in tho resist- lossness of tho fire, solid stone buildings wvith iron ghutters proving to bo no more fire-proof than the flimsier brick and wooden structuros, The text of uu interesting and curions de- cision of the Towa Supreme Court is printed 4n our columns this morning. ‘The caso was that of n physician found guilty of man- slaughter in having produced the death of a mewborn infant, and was taken (o the Su- proma Court on a writ of error nsgign- ing tho refusal of the Court below to correctly instruct tho jury na to tho preciso moment when a child becomes o human being. Judguent was reversed for this causdy——tho Conrt holding thatat the time tho injury was inflicted which resulted in doath the child had no independent human cxistonco, and hence could not be tho sub- Ject of a homicide Perhnps no higher tribute has been paid to the excellenco and formiduble character of the ticket nominated at Cincinnati than is found in the admissions of a large number of Southern Democrats, that none of the regular old-line party candidates would bave tho ghost of o chance to wkucceed against Tlaves and Waerees, and that the only liope of victory rests in the nomination of some man without Rebel aulocedents, sympathics, or nffilistions, aud who can draw off u por- tion of the Union-soldier support. Such a man thoy porcoive in Gen. Hancocx, and thoy do not hesitate to publicly declare their cholce of him above all other candidates to be presented at Bt. Louis. Not that they ndmiro Hancock's war record, or that he is in any sensc o representative Dowocrat, but they can soe no other hope of getting con- trol of tho Govornment, The Chicago produce markets wero steadior on Baturday, with moderate activity. Moss pork was 123@200 per brl higher, closing at $10.174@19.20 for July and $19.37§@14.00 for August. Lard was 12}@150 per 100 1bs higheor, closing at $11,87)@11.40 cash and 81L60@11.524 for August.

By tho completion of tho Inter.Colonial Iail- rond, which connects with the Grand Trunk and Michigan Central, an all-rail froight routo is given from Chicago to Ialifax1, 705 miles in length. Tho increase in distance over tho compoting routes is componsated for by tho fact that Halifax is o day nearer to Europo than any port in thoe Btates, and furthor than that, it is probabla that tho policy of the Inter-Colonial and Grand ‘Trunk manngements will bo to fix o froight- tarill golow as to compel patronage for th now cnndidato for the snrrying trado of the Northwest. Halifax bas fairly taken tho field as on important rival of the Atlantio cities, and o letter published this morning will be found to contain much interesting information and gossip concerning tho Nova Beotis metropoli Vice-Presidont WieeLen that is to b was serenaded Snturday evening by the Republic- ans of Garrison nnd Cold Springs, N. Y., aud mado a short specch expressive of his deep sonso of the honor conferred upon him at Cindnnati,—*to be nominated in times liko theso by tho great party which, despite its occasional shortcomings, represents in its fullest extent tho intelligence, the patriotism, and the conscience of tho country.,” Mr. ‘Wneersn predicts for Gov. Hayes the sup- port of the entire Ropublican party, of all shades and opinions, and thereby intimates his sentiments as to tho wisdom of tha Con- vention in selecting ns its standard.bearer a candidate acceptable to the wholo party. Tho New York Sun takes precisely the same view,—that Gov. Haves will reccive the votes of overy Iiepublican, as well as the votes of many who wear the livery of no porty,—and warns the Democratio party that its opponenta Liave put up o ticket that will not bear triflidg with, and tho strength of which must not bo underestimnted. THE cmcxifmm CONVENTION AND THE DEMOCRATS, ‘Tho nomination of Haves and Waeenen, while it has had the effect of cordially uniting every branch of tho Republican party, and presenting greater unity and harmony than hias been known in the party since 1869, bay also hnd the effect of demoralizing the whole Democratic parly. Under the cortain con- viction that BraIng was to be nominated at Cinciunati, the Democrats had already dis- counted their victory. They had, with more unavimity than generally prevails in that party prior to tho Convention, practically determined who was to bo their candidate, Assuming Braive to Lo the Republican candidate, the Democrats had strong confidence of obtaining the electoral votes of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Con. uecticut for T1Lpex, and hence New England appointed a full TiLpeN delegation to St. Louis. 'The Pacific Const States, and No- Lraska, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minneso- tn, and New Jersey, with New York and Ma- ryland, bave also appointed TiLven dole- gotes. 'The Southern States had nominally divided their delegates, but those States, in- cluding Missouri aud Kentucky, were all willing to take Tiupew, who offered them tho clectoral vote of New York, Peuusylva. nin, Obio, and Indiana had alone protested ngainst Miepex. Iilinois, the last of the largo States, was to hold the State Conven- tion this week, and it was arranged to sond o delegation instructed to vote for Tinpexn and to voto ns a unit. The expectation, amounting to o conviction, was that, as ogainst Braiwe, Tioex would enrry all tho Southern States, Ohio, Indiana, the Pacific Const States, Wisconsin, New Jersoy, New York, nnd three of the Now England States. In 1844 Vax Bunex had n majority of tho delegates to the Democratic Convention in- structed for him, Tho Whigs, taking it for cer- tain that ke would bo nominated, and relying upon their means of crushing him before the people, nowinated Cray, and regarded his clection ns certnin. But the Democrats did ot nominate Vax Buney, the Whig smmu- nition was wasted, snd Cray wns defeated. All the Democratic proparations for tho cam- poign havo been upsot by tho nomination of Maves instend of Braixe, They find the wholo character of the canvass has been changed. Haves will carry all New En- gland. e will carry Olio. Asagainst T~ pEy, ho will carry Indiaua. Carrying Ohio and Indiana in October, the genersl election will be decided, and lhence Now York will voto for Hayes in November. The nntici- pated victory in Ohio and Indiana in Octo- bor, with its certain effosts on Now York in November, has taken all the wind out of Tr- peN's kails, and compelled tho party to look clsowhere, But, when T1npry is put aside, what then!? Shinll it bo Ilexpricks? The nomination of Tiaves has oxtinguished any hope for Hex- putexs in Ohio, It is true, Ohio has Taus. MaN, who will run noarly as well at the Enat as Tizoey, but Yaves has already beaten ‘I'nunaan before the people of Obio, aud will beat him again; and morcover the Demociatio party of that Stato hns itsolf repudiated ‘runaaN in favor of Auten. Haves as also benten ALLeN and Prxvreroy, and the only other Democrat they huve in Obio is EwrNe, whoso inflation notions, of coumse, put him out of the question, ‘Thero 1s, therefore, no Obio Democerat who isavailable, and no Demo. crat from any othor State who has the lenst show in that Btate, Judgo Davis' strength, beyoud that of the Domooratio vote, is main. ly contined to Illinols, In Oblo, he would not control as wmany votes as either of the men who have ulrendy been boaten by Ilaves, and in Indisns would add noth. ing to the regulur party vots, es- pecially whon the Republican party is led in person by Senator MonroN, Judgoe Daviy, therefore, is as unavailable to arrest the Democratic dofoat in Ohio and Indiana in October ng would bo Pexprrron, Undor theso circumstances the candidaoy of IleN- vuicks hus been given now prominence. With him, there ia & hopo that the Democ- racy would boablo to carry Indiona in Oc- tober, and thus break the disastrous effoct of the loss of both Btates at that time, But whot then? ‘Tho nomination of Hexpricks would be Unsatisfactory to thousunds of Democrats in the Eastern States. 1t is truo, Lio hins never takon any decided stand on the financial question, and has been non-commit- tal oven to the extont of stupidity, I'his very indecision, howover, whon contrasted with tho clear and explicit views of Gen. Hayes, will bo fatal to uuy trimmer with people who #ire moro interested in having honest money than in auy other political question, ‘Ihe Dewocrats, therefore, by the nomina. tion of Hayes und WezeLER, are placed in o most embarrasiing quandary., They must carry Now York, New Jura nectient, or Now York and Indians, to clect anybody. To nominate TrLoen or Tnus. 4N i8 to losa Ohio and Indiana in October, and practically give up the campnign nt that time. 'To nominate Davis is to gain a fow votes in Illinois, but to loso Ohioand Indinna in October, and New York in November. To nominate Hexpricrs ia to possibly save Indisua in October, to lose Now York, Now Jersoy, and Connecticut in November, In citlior caso o stnnning and overwhelming de- font i3 inovitable, 'I'lis demoralization is all the more incrensed because it takes tho place of tho confidence of victory which rested on the oxpected nominntion of Brame. Tho Domocracy have no *‘new men" to full back upon. Senstor Warnice, of Penn- sylvanin, the Vieo-Presidont of all Tox 8cort's railway jobs, has proposed a Mr. Broapueap, of Missouri, who mny bo satis. factory to Tou Scorr, but wholly un- known to the great commercial interests of the country. If Spenker Krmr had auy henlth, he might be somewhnt availablo; but hois out of the quostion, and tho list ia exhaustod. 'There is no Democrat in New York but TiLprs; positively no man in Penusylyanin, Ohio is exhausted, What the Democrats want is o man who can con- tost Ohio and Indians, and whose nomina. tion would not be fatal in the Eastern States. Mr, Bavanp is a very respectable man, but has not the loast local standing in Ohio and Indinna, and thero the preliminary, and prac- tically tho decisive, Lattle has to bo fought and won, Tho Eastern Democrats will probably go to 8t. Louis resolved to demand TiLpew, and, putting Trurmax or Hexpricks on for Vice- President, take tho riska of Ohio and Indiann in October, staking tho wholo gamoe upon Now York, without which the Domocratic cause is hopoloss. The Cincinnati Conven- tion, it will bo seen, not only relieved the Republican party from certain defeat, but it hos atterly destroyed all thoe plans of the Democratic party, and left it broken and de- moralized. ILLIROI8 IN THE CONVENTION, Now thot the battlo bins beon fought and won, it is time to be generons, Thore was ns much bitterness felt, and there were asmany hard blows given and taken, in the Illinois delegation ns in any other part of the battle- field. As n wholo, the delegation was a dis- appointment to itscl? and to the friends of tho gentleman whose particular cause it had undortaken to espouse. Forty votes weroe promised to the Maino managers from tho first and all the time. But when thero was & failuro to delivor this number on the very first ballot, the delegation lost its impor- tance, and the announcement of its voto was received with less enthusinsm than any other, Trom this timo on, SBronzy Ssrrn, an un- compromising Brisrow man, who refused to be whipped in and wrested the lash from the men who tried to wield it, made o bold and oggressive o fight that he gained rapidly upon tho sympathios of his colleagnes, and would havo had o fall half of thoe delegation with him if there hnd been a few moro ballots. All this weakened the influence of Illinois in the Convention for the purposo for which it had been organized, and at no time did it s a whole fasten the attention of the masses. Bnt thero was ono man who did honor to tho Stato and rescued it from an inglorious wenkness, It was Col, Bon INcEnsoLy, of Teoris, who carried off thoe oratorical laurecls of the Convention. This was conceded on aoll gides. Men like Grorer WiLLiay Contis and Stewant L. Woopronp, of New York, distinguished orators themselves, hnstened to pay o tribute to Incemsont's gonius for elo- quence, Ho gave hia specoh in which he nominated Brame all tho offect of au extem- poraneous uttarance by opening it with the hot shot he poured into Mr, Daxa, who im- mediately preceded him with some injudi- cious statements concerning Mnssnchusctts, Then he proceeded with an elegance of dic- tion that Mr, Cuntis could scarcely surpass with bis pen in the quiet of his study, ond an overwhelming torrent of strength that swept overything beforo it. Ils speech was monumentsl elo. quenco. It was a pyramidal structure of towering strength and delightful symmotry. It was a raro combination of forco and pic- turesqueness, Now it commanded adiira« tion for its grace, and then carried men off their foct with enthusinsm, Every sentenco, every word, overy syllable, eamo forth and Dore down with telling effoct, His veforenco to the dry rubbish of the curroncy question burnished it up into a fascimnating brilliancy, and ho united resumptionists and infiation- ists in & common outburst of applause, as ho #aid of resuwption and prosperity: ¢ Whon thoy come thoy will como hand in band; hand in hand through the golden barvest fields ; hand in hand by the whirling spindles and the turning wheels ; hand in hand past the open furnaco doors ; hand in hand by the flaming forgos; hand in hand by the chim- nies filled with enger firo, This monoy hns got to bo dug out of the earth, You cannot maka it by passing resolutions in a political meeting.” All this was for Bramse, and counted, too. Brame may never bo Presi- dent, but he can challonge any man in tho land to point to a eulogy so glowing, aud graphic, and irresistibly fascinating ns the following, which was interrupted almost at overy comma a8 it foll from Col. INoensoLr's lips ¢ This {2 a grand year,—a year fllled with tho recollectlon of the Hevolution; flled with proud and tender memories of the sucred past; dlled with the leends of lberty, —a year {n which the sons of treedom will delnk from the fountaiu of en- thusiasm; a year In which the people eall for a man who has preserved fu Congress what our soldiers won upon the flsld; a_year in which we call for the mun that has torn froth tha throat of trenson the tongue of slander; o man that has enatched tho mavk of Domocracy from the hldeous fuce of Ite- belllon: 8 wan who, lke sn intellectual athleto, stood in the aronaofdebate, challenged ull comers, and who up to tho present moment fs o total strunger to defeat, Liko an armed warrlor, Wko s Mumed knight, Jaurs G, Brains marched down the halls of the American Congress and threw his whinfug lance full sud fair aguinst the brazen foro- head of every defuacr of this country und ma- ligner of its bonor, That speoch would have nominated Braine Iind a bollot beon taken on tho sme day it was delivered, There is no doubt about that, Evon ot this distaaco and at o onlin ronding it almost carries oonviction with it; then it wus mngnetic, und the crowd could not re- wist its power. Col. INaemsorLL's presence and delivery added marvelously to the elo- quence of tho sulogy. A round figuro, hand. somoly dressod, with a faco ghaven a¢ umqoth a8 & pricst's, and hair slightly silvered with struggling gray, he had the age and presence to counnand respoct, but all the fire of youth necessary to kindlo enthusiasm, At all other timies during the proceedings the Convention was divided into Braing aud anti-BraiNg fuc- tions, Tho ball was so svnted thut fho Brains men hemmed in the Convention by o great human bastion; the anti-Braiwe fac- tiou wero tho centye of o square that would bave been hollow if thoy were taken out. Ho it was that the Brainz utterances aud votes started the huzzas along tho outer line, und the antl-Brans demos. .tained, Tt ntrations exalted the central mnss, The distinetion waa palpable thronghout the entivo procoedings. DBut when Hon Inarn- Aowt, had finished his panegyrio, it awept the whole body liko a tumultuons flood, and the Br.arxe men and anti-Bramve menwera united for the only timo in common admiration for Braixe's eulogist. Whon Inarrsorv's timo wna out, ono cold-blooded fellow® reminded him of it, but the Convention with ono nc. cord put down the interruption, snd Inoen- soLL was permitted to finish without regard to the rulo, The fight at Cincinnati was n family fight, and though 'I'ne Tnsuse and Bon INornsoLy happened to bo on opposite sides for tho time, wo counol now withhold a tribute to his eloquonce and powaer, and wo rejoice that e belongs to the snmo family, Tho voica that did such wonderful work for BraNe and came #o near nominating him must not now be silent In Lehalf of the Republican party, with such men ns Haves and Wieeren tolead it. HOPE FOR CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM. There is one plank in the Cincinnati plat- form to which wo linve not yot hiad occasion to draw particulpr attention, but whichisono of the most important, practical, and hopeful utternnces of tho National Republican Con- vention. Waerefer to the following: 5. Under the Constitution, tho Presldent and heads of deparlnents are to make nominatlons for oftice, the Senate i to advise and to consent to ap- pointments, and the llouso of Representatives Is to accuse nnd prosecute falthlcss oflicers. Tlhie best Interesta of thu publlic service demund that these distinctions bo respected; thut Senators nnd ltep- resentatlves, who may bo judges and accusors, ehonld not dictata appolntmenta to oftice, The fn- varlable rule for appolntments shonld have refer. ence to the honesty, fdelity, and capacity of the appointee, glving to the pasty in power those places whero harmony and vigor of administration re- quircs it policy to be represented, but permltting ali others to bu filled by persons welected with sole reference to tho efliciency of the public service, and the right of all citizens to shara in the honor of rendering faithful servico to their country, 'T'his is no empty pro forma enuncintion of the general principles of Civil-Sorvice Re- form. Itis a positive and practical aban- donment of the spoils system, It opposed somo of tho most active machino men of the Congressional circles who were in the Con- vention, aud it might have proved meaning- less had they beon succossfMl in forcing their candidate upon the Convention. Aas it is, its dircet and practical declaration for reform- ing the public scrvice by discountenancing and discontinuing the pernicious practico of favoritism aud personnl devotceism aa a rulo for appointments promises real reform, An instonce, strongly in point, which illustrates just what tho above resolution pledges the Republican party to avoid in the future, oceurred not long since in the case of one of the Federal ofiices in Chicago vacated by death. The gentlemnanwhom the President appointed, at the instance of the hendof thodepartment, wnsonoof tholeading citizens of Chicago, a man of unimpeachablo integrity, of strong character, and peculiarly well suited for tho position and dutiesito which he had. been nssigned by the proper appointing power. DBut here Congressional interforenco was asserted. A Senator of the United States, without being nble to urge tha umallest objection to the gontlemnn whont the President had selected, took tho ground that tho sppointiient should not bo confirmed beeauso he (tho Senator) had nn- other candidate on whom ho desired to be- stow the place. When there wns a protest ngoinst this Senator's assumption of tho ap- pointing power, ho declnred that it was sim- ply a question whethor ho had any disposi- tion of the patronage of Illinoly, and that he would stand or fall by it, It bocamo evident that the Senate would refuse to confirm, be- canso other Sonntors did not know how soon they might want to wiold n similar influence, nnd o the nomination was withdrawn. This Benntorial dictation was nu outrago, and it was o weaknesd in the President to yiold to it. It was an undisguised invasion of the constitutional rights of the President, which, though froquently put in practice, has been rarcly asserled so flatly and sustained so boldly. 'T'ho resolution wo have quoted conld not cover the cnso more completely if it hod been written for that purpose. It deflnes clearly nnd intelligently the proper distri- bution of tho Governmental functions in regard to tho civil sorvico among the Exeon- tive aud the two branches of Congress, and it declares pointedly and emphatically that thiy division must be recogmized and mnin- goes oven further than this, While it properly holds that, where tho duties aro intimately connected with tho policy of the party, mon should be chosen who aro loyal to its principles, it advises thnt, in all other cases, the sclection bo mndo **with sole referonce to the efliciency of the public service, and the right of all citizena to shwre in the honor of rendering fnithful service to their country.” Those citizens who have intercsted themselves in tho cause of Civil.Service Reform could searcely nsk a more intelligent and unequivo. cal enunciation of their principles, and the nomination of aman like Haxzs gives tho declaration the forco of gonuinoness and carnestnoss. The Domocratic Reformers in Congress haove shown auother samplo of their consist- ency by abusing the Dresidont for nsking Congrass cither to hurry up the appropris- tion bills, or walo somo temporary arrange- ments to meet the expenses of carrying on the Government after the first of July, The President only did what was his duty and did itin arespoctinl manuer, Wo are now within ten dnys of the endof the flscal year, and the Democrats, by their outrageous demagogory, have made no provisions for the expenses of the Governmont. Thero is, practically, but the present week in which to legislate, be cause next week the wholo Dumocratic force in Congress will bo off to Ht. Louis to their Convaention, and will not be back again until tho first of July, when it will bae too late. Somothing must bo doue immediately, and all that the President has dono is to make a timely and respeotful suggestion to avoid the embarrassiment n which the Gov- erumont will flud itsell if thero is o fuiluvo to pass the necousary appropristion billa befora July 1. All that ho bos doue is to suggest a tomporary ar- rangomest for extonding the appropristions of the presont year, * cach appropriation so extended to hold good until Congross shall havo pused the corresponding appropriation applicatie ta the new flscal year, when all manoyx{uxpcndcd under tho laws onacted for this fisgul yoar shall be deducted from tho corresphnding approprintion for the next.” In rebjking tho President for meking such an imyerative suggestion es this, thoe Demo- ow that they are a set of jmbeciles 't cowprehond tho necesaitics of the the tdegraph companies in connectlon with thy Jate Jutionul Cuuyertion is uot vealized by the peopr. Thursday night Jast the Westers Unlon Joupiany elune sent out from Clocipuatl spectal dispatchies aggrewating 250,000 words to 150 dafly newspapers in all parts of the eountry, The Associated Press reports, Enst and West, the same night, amounted to 50,000 words, and over 10,000 privato messnges were disposed of, The vrdinary business waa teansacted ns usual, It was not a favorable day for telegraphing, clthier, raln-storms in the Northwest causing somo trouble. Friday night nearly os many words were seut. A Inrge part of the credit for this admirble work 1 due to tien. ANsoN Braoen, of Chicago, who was on the ground and nctively superintended operations, The Asso- ciuted Press reports, which have been universally commended for thelr accurney and fulln were made by reporters of Ti Circaao Tiin- uNE, under the lmmediatodireetion of WinLias Huxny Ssirn, General Agent of the Western Assoclated Press, Tho reportorinl corps was composed na follows: F.

Perey Exonisi,— all members of Tur Trinuse city stofl, Mr. HALL directed the sctual taking of tho reports, and Mr. 8x1mie prepared them for transmisslon. The workmatltke manner In which svery mem- Verof the corps dlscharged his duty may be Judged from the fact that the entire report for Thursday, embracing nearly 60,000 words, was Inthe ofiice of Tur Trmurxa in Chleago by 0 o'clock Thursday night. We do not knaw of any {nstance of quicker or Lotter work In the way of reporting and telegraphing. ——a— PERSONAL.

SWI; Prof. Swing preached on “Converslon® yesterdav morning to a lorge congregation in MeVicker's Theatrs, The Tollowlng (s the full text of the discourse: ‘Tho Iaw ot the Lord Ia perfect, converting tho soul.—Pealme, xix., 7. Let us reflect upon the term *conversion’ with the siucere desireto Jearn some of the {deas it should bring to our thought. It is n popular word In the lauguage of the pulpitand ehe whole Church. The truth represented by the word s tndecd one: of the lurgest fdens of religlon. Upon the literal signifleance of the terin we need speil 1o thne whatever, for itiinplies simply u change of sentiment such as that e who once loved sin now loves holiness, Buch is the simplest import of the word as it stands in the Christlan system. Lut us pass from tho term over futo the mer- 1ts of the great cuse. 1. The notion that man ahould be converted must spring from the fact, or supposed fact, that le {3 not Ly nature o holy, sinless ereature, The Idea that man lsnot by nature virtuous scems only too well found- ed. Onecould wish that some of the geog- raphers whoare now exploring the surface of the globe might tind o tribe where sin s unknown,—a tribe fn which deeeption und erline were not to (be found in wuy shape whatever, One could wish thet those who are exhuming stones and tiles all written over with history of Empires long dead might tind the nunals of somo State whose happy peo- ple knew no form of sin ngalust man or God, But up to this date the report of the explorer and historfan leads always only In one way, From the gurden where Adame stood in his soll- tude to the great cities of the past and present comes but one statement sbout the moral na- ture of man. Man is always « ereatutre of vice. History Justifles the poetic declaration of the psuimist, * Behold, T was shapen In Infquity.” Ong of the elussie philosophers sald: ¢ Think not evil comes from without—all sins are fn all men.'? Another suld, “Mun {s torn by passions ns by many wild beasta.” This depravity of the humau race s 8o notorious that time spent n proof of it would be time spent uselessly, Qut of such a condition of man springs up the word *‘converston,” and thence comes alsy toe untold value of the word. As education is au fmmense tenn in o world where the mind s born weuk, and as Information {s a slgnificant idea when man s born fznerant, so conversfon is u cardinal doctring tn o world where man passes from the cradle to wickedness, What cducation is to weakness, what informatéon is to ignorance, conversion 18 to the wickedness of the heart. 'Those who are the friends of edu- cation and of Information may well add * con- verslon™ tu thelr dols, and thus exhaust their love uand care wpon a wonderful trinity of ideas or pursuits, Man should undergo three grent changes us he pusses ulong through these days, —the onie from wenkness Lo atrength, called ed- neation; one from fgnorance to light, catled n- fumnatlon; cue from sinful thonght and decd to virtuous thought and deed, called conversfon, Itis only of the roliglous clunge we need think to-diy, The hour und the nsscmblage ure fu the interests of religlon. To find how this change of heurt nuy come is the most elgif- feaut” part of our Inqubvy, But perhaps we should mark the value of titls moral recreation. Its worth 18 far uboye tho worth of simplo ed- uention or informatlon, for {t is more deslrabie that man should lve in barmony with the Inws of right und wromg than that he should be cultured or learnct. Without righteousnesa mun s only o snvigre, There §s no Leauty that will _compare with moral beauty. ‘That fa the divine beauty. It 18 this moval beauty thut places Christ ubove all the uames that huve been written down upon the rolls of enrth. Such I8 the quality of that conver- slon whose path we now seek, There must be some puths, somoe gateways by which this new nature comes to the soul, These paths must be perpetual, lylug through all the ages and nutlons, chunging “thelr ffowers ndeed’nt times, but remainlug “cssentinlly tho sane, and ulwuys luviting the wanderer’s Toot, To seck and iind these paths will be far caster than for us to walk in them afterward. To find the laws of Nuture 18 always far casler than ufterward to obey those lnws; und su in religlon, {6 will be a task of lttle diffieulty to find out the ways of conversfon, but afterward always to be found 1 thuse wuys, that Is tho telal of this carcer.

A second means of converslon may he found In the pulpit,—not second, perhaps, in the order of excellence, but simply in the order of our remnrks, There is no “measnrement by which ong may learn whethier the pulpit Is more influential than thereligious book or the Sun- day or the song.
