Doings in the Dog Pit—Kit Burns a Hopeless Case—TLe Press Doomed to Perdition—A It having been announced that the notorious Kit Burns had rented his dog pit to the enterprising pro- jectors of the Water street revival movement, & considerable crowd assembled at noon yesterday to witness the dedication of that disreputable edifice a8 a place of prayer. Animated by a laudable desire to “do the square thing” by his reverend patron, the Proprietor had spared no pains to make his pit as clean and tidy as possible; consequently, the blood- stained boards composing the floor of the minature arena and the rough wooden seats of the diminu- tive amphitheatre were carefully swabbed and swept, old “sojers” and “quids” were shovelled away, and the whole interior was so vastly improved that but for certain architectural peculiarities it might have passed for a backwood negro chapel. The leading revivalists grouped themselves in carefully studied attitudes around a pitcher of ice water and a spit- toon which had been considerately placed in the centre of the pit, while their lady friends, some six or eight in all, graced the “seats of honor” imme- diately over the narrow apertures which serve as doors to the wretched den. The remaining space ‘was occupied by the supernumeraries, choristers and friends of the mission, the representatives of the press and as many of the curious public as had managed to elbow their way through the miscel- laneous crowd which choked up the passages lead- ing to the pit, thronged the barroom, bulged over the sidewalks, and greatly obstructed the business of the thoroughfare. With the exception of Tommy Hadden, the re- formed Shanghaister, who was accommodated with a front seat, none of the specimen sinners were on view. Mr. Hadden contrived to look the very pic- ture of contrition, ducking his head with prompt reverence at the words ‘Let us pray,”? making dumb motions with his lips while the singing was going on, and occasionally getting off eminently pious and appropriate ejaculations, to the intense edification of all who heard them, From the frequent nods of approbation and encouragement bestowed upon this worthy it was evident that his deportment gave in- tense satisfaction to his reverend friends. After the opening hymn had been rendered a middle aged gentleman, who had been busily engaged up to this tume washing his hands with invisible soap in im- perceptible water and CANSRUITE “WTI DIDE: dry again, rose m one of the front benches and abruptly commenced a long, rambling sort of prayer, during the delivery of which he contorted his features in such an extraordinary manner as to rivet the attention of all present. As near as_ the contortions could be interpreted it seemed that this singular individual appeared de- sirous of creating the impression that his eyelids were gummed together so tightly that it was impos- sible to loosen them, save by keeping the entire set of facial muscles in continuous and violent spas- modic action, It was evidently a great relief to the congregation when this gentleman at length opened his eyes and closed his incoherent exhortation. A number of short prayers followed, and the Almighty was implored to flood Water street with Divine grace, and cleanse that other sink of iniquity, Fifth avenue, with the stream of repentance. One of the most noticeable of the many objection: able features in the Water street revival meetings is the abruptness with which the reverend directors commence and end their prayers and hymns, and skip from one subject to another. A somewhat lu- dicrous instance of the indecent haste referred to occurred yesterday. While one of his brethren ex- horted sinners generally to turn from the path which leads to perdition, the Rev. Mr. Arnold suddenly jumped upon his feet and puzzled the congregation by shouting:—“Come right into the pit; there’s plenty of room. Come, my friends, don’t be afraid; right into the very pit here. Comeall of you. Come thou fount of every blessing.” It turned out that this invitation was addressed exclusively lo the crowd which stood jammed in one of the pass: and that the pit referred to was the dogpit and no’ the typical cavity of which the other missionary was speaking when interrupted. ‘Come thou fount of every blessing” proved to be the commencement of @hymn; and the celerity with which the choristers, supernumeraries and members of the mission caught up the tune and gallopped to the end of it, vastly perplexed poor Tommy Hadden and one or two less sen g ed penitents who were rashly in. trying. to j it Burns was frequently ‘referred to during the Meeting, and the utmost anxiety was manifested as to his spiritual welfare. was stated that although repeated attempts have been made to bring ut the conversion of Mr. Burns, that poor miserable sinner has not shown any of repentance as yet. In concluding a cl pease in behalf of the obdurate proprietor of the pit, one of the revivalists exclaimed “Let us peiconiy we may eventually succeed in opening his y' “Not if I knows it they don’t,” said Kit, when these words were repeated to him. “Think they can open my eyes, do they; better not try it. Can’t bilk me. No pay no preach. Like to know what ghey take me for.”” ‘There was no attempt to conceal the fact that the mission has agreed to pay Mr. Burns for the use of his pit. Quite the contrary. “But will his con- science ever be easy after he has received that money?” asked one of the preachers. Some heavy groaning from the gentlemen in the vicinity of the pit followed this question, ‘No! shouted the speaker, “I say it will not. It will never do him an ood, It will burn, and burn, and burn like heil re!’ (Cries of “Yes, yes,’” Peace Ae and addl- tional g oans from the pit.) ‘Well, I'll let it burn,” laughed Kit when this part of the proceedings was related to him. ‘They can't choke me off that way; they'll have to get up earlier if they want to open my eyes. Don’t take me for a fool, do they?” Daring lull in the prayers the members of the Mission discussed the action of the press with re- gard to the doings in Water street, and complained that unkind, unjust and uncharitable things had been written and said about them. ‘We are called madmen and thieves,” sald one speaker, ‘because we raise our voices in prayer. Other men scream and yell like fury at political meetings, make foois— aye, beasts—of themaelves, and are considered smart men, Why should the papers abuse us? Itis not Tor these printers’ devils to correct sin. (Cries of “That's so.) Iam not mad, neither am I a drunk- ard. No, ‘There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Emmanuel’s veins,’ and I apply to that when Iam eee Suppose Johnny Alien drinks— what of it? He promised to taper off as fast as he can, and is not that something to rejoice at? The man that keeps this place is a very wicked man; he don’t claim to be anything else; he glories in it. He sells rum there (pointing to the bar), and he raises the very devil here (pointing to the pit), Let him go on for awhile. He knows what's going on in here, and do you sw he'll sleep as soand to-night as he did last night? (More groans from the pit.) Suppose Tommy Hadden isn’t a sincere Christian, what then? Is that any reason why we should be abused? What does the press care about Jesus Christ? Nothing. (Tremendous groaning all round.) Idon’t know a singie editor in New York who acts as if he was aware of the fact that Christ died on peat b Don't know a single paper that is friendly to Christ ; they’re all opposed to him. It’s not their province to look after the interests of our blessed Messiah. We are doing what Jesus would do if he came to New York as he did to Jerusalem, and not all the editors in the world can hinderus. Put asunbeam in a cellar and it will not be polluted; it will come back @ sunbeam; and it’s just so with us. (Cries of “Yes” and “Preised be the Lord.) Let us go on with our work and let those who try to hinder us go to the devil, where they belong. (Agonizing groans.) If we walt for the time when all the papers commend us we shall be likeiy to wait. (“For along time,” interrupted a voice.) Yes, fora very long time,” concluded the speaker. Adter singing “Praise God from whom all biessings flow,’ the meeting adjourned. As the vifitors left the "pit the proprietor was dis- covered lolling in front of his bar, giving a not very attentive ear to the pious whisperings of one of the missionaries and at the same time winking in the wickedest possible manner in reply to the grimaces of a brother sport. “Now, then, yon’ve had your fun, 80 clear ont!’ shouted Kit, suddenly breaking away from the preacher and “hurrying up” those members of the mission who seemed loth to depart. “Clear out, I say, the whole lot o’ ye’s, Time's u' ten minutes ago.” Just at this moment tn bounc: Kit’s buxom better half, and with her assistance the Toom was soon cleared of the “devil dodgers.” “Now, gentiemen,” said the irrepressible and, it is to be |, irreclaimable Kit, turning to the representatives of the press, “I’m pings ratify that meeting. Come along. Themr fellows has been a making a pulpit out o’ my ratpit and I’m going to purify it arter’em. Jim! ‘say, Jim! bring out them varmint. Here ye are, gentlemen.” Will it be believed that scarcely had .the reverend lessees vi jhe pit than half » dozen of the at gm sized rats were hoisted out of a by their tails and let loose in the miniature atena, and that a ferocious bull terrier “purp’ followed close after them and worried their respective lives out, while & a iy “well ere ee looked on fof ingly and amused burlesquing the voc suites of the misstor choir? So it was, however, but it is hard to say which burlesque was the more profane, that of the mission- aries or that of the associates of Kit Burns. PROJECTED AIR LINE RAILROAD FROM ST. LOUIS TO OMAHA.

The advant- age to be gained by this quurrel will be a monopoly for the Pavonia ferry and Erie street line belonging to the Bergen Railroad Company, and this company has so frequently called forth the censure of the city authorities and the public that the citizens wiil uot rest satisfied till the action of the Common Council be revoked.

The German mail steamship Cimpria, Captain Barends, from Southampton on the 11th of Septem- ber, arrived at this port yesterday evening, bringing @ mail report in detail of our cable telegrams dated to her day of sailing. a The London Times of the 11th of September coi tinues its review of England’s relations and dealings with China during the past thirty years, with the view of showing cause against the imperial policy in the organization and despatch of the Burlingame mission and the conclusion of the new treaty with the United States. The writer, as reported in our cable telegram, winds up in the following words:— We have cercely touched upon another point— the obligation which rests upon us. our interests span, to consider the claims of the Chinese people. eir interests are distinct from and antagonistic to those of their rulers, Their welfare ought to weigh something in the balance. Sti d under an iron despotism, light and liberty are their sore need, They are, as has been observed, well dis- posed. In their interest, no less than our own, let us take them while they are friendly inclined. Let us not give their rulers the chance of sowing discord and hatred between us and we shall succeed, beyond @ doubt, in cementing an alliance which their rulers will be powerless to frustrate, and which it will Speedie me their interest to promote by all the means in their power. The Paris Dédats publishes a long article on the state of political affairs in Europe, and in which it aims especially to stiow that not only have the va- rious great Powers every interest to avoid war, but that the uncertainty and uneasiness which continue to prevail in France are altogether without any just foundation. The article does not deny that the vic- tories of Prussia may have displeased many persons in France, but not to such an extent as to give cause for a war between the two States, The proceedings against the press in Spain in- creased in vigor, The Gi Blas, a comic journal, was seized because one of the writers expressed his pre- ference for “thin women.” In this sentiment an offensive allusion to the portliness of her Most Cath- olic Majesty was recognized. The announcement in the Patrie that Garibaldi had gone to Malta, and was expected at Naples, was not confirmed from any quarter. Some items of East Indian news were telegraphed from Brindisi to London in anticipation of the mail. Disturbances have broken out in the Huzara coun- try on the northwest frontier. The Punjaub inde- pendent tribes attacked the police posts, and appa- rently the British villages sided with them. A Bri- tish force under General Wilde marched to punish the offenders. The Europeans were armed with the Snider rifle, and the telegram says “the effect was reassuring."” The Election Canvase—Mr. Glndstone on the Financial Question—Clerical Opinion of the Church, ‘The election canvass proceeded vigorously. Mr. C. H. Robarts issued his address to the elec- tors of Mid-Surrey. He promises his hearty support to Mr. Gladstone, “inspired by personal respect and political sympathy.”” He is opposed to, the income tax asa continuous impost so long as In its adjust- ment no distinction is made between precarious and rmanent incomes, and {s in favor of Mr. Locke ing’s plan for assimilating the devolution of real and personal Rasy. in cases of intestacy. Mr. Arthur Bass issued an address to the electors of Stafford seeking re-election, He promises heartily to support Mr. Gladstone in his Irish Church policy, desires to treat the Irish land question ‘on the sound principles of liberality and justice,” is in favor of the amendment of the Reform act, the more com- plete nationalization of universities and endowed ay and the giving of a legal status to trade unions, Major Palliser, the new conservative candidate for Devonport, issued his address, After denouncing the attack upon the Irish Church as having been “organized in England for party purposes alone by those who are anxious for office,”’ the gallant officer proceeds to say:—I view with great dismay any policy which would impair the efficiency or pro- ductive power of our royal dockyards. The chiefs of the liberal par have lately raised the cry of “increased expenditure” upon the army and navy, but no people know better than those who raised this cry that the increased expenditure has been caused by changes in the requirements of modern warfare, and that it would have been highly culpable on the part of the conservative government had they neglected to provide those materials of war which had become indispensable to our armies and fleets. “An Irish Lay Patron,” in a pamphlet entitled “Some Thoughts Upon the Present and Future of the Irish Church,” urges on the Irish clergy and laity an immediate consideration of the question of ‘re- construction.” It is unwise, he thinks, to continue the struggie, They may dam back the flood, but “it will burst upon us with accumulated force.” “Now it is in our power,” he adds, “by confessing to our- selves that the flood is inevitable and aliowing it to flow, in a great measure to guide its course, and 80 save much from ruin.’’ Another clergyman of the Church of England came forward to 81 ort Mr. Gladstone's policy. The Rev. John Congreve, rector of Tooting, has spoken in favor of Mr. Julian Goldsmid and vigorously de nounced the “craven fears” of those churchmen who think Establishment necessary to the maintenance of religion, Mr. Gladstone sent a financial statement for publl- cation to the Manchester Kraminer which the tory Chancellor of the Exchequer will find it dificult to explain away. The financial issue is almost as important at the coming contest in England as the question of Irish Church dises- tablishment itself. Mr. Gladstone asserts:—Dur- ing a period commencing in 1862 and terminat- ing in 1865 the liberals contrived to save £3,490,000, while between 1866 and 1868 the conservatives in- creased the expenditure by £3,190,000. Again, the expenditure under liberal! management has always fallen short of the estimates; whereas, under con- servative contral it has uniformly exceeded them. Farthermore, in the five years from 1862 to 1866, the liberals reduced the taxation by £15,889,000, the tory budgets having increased the income tax; while “the only reduction of taxation was that made in 1867 to the extent of £210,000 in the marine insur- ance duty; the surplus of revenue over expendi- ture resulting from the five liberat budgets being £12,850,000, Which was applied to the reduction of the national dept, the deficit of the two tory years, in ali £1,914,000, The Burlingame Ch Mission ~American Fetes to the “Mandarins.” (From the Pail Mail Gazette, Sept. 10.) We are afraid the Americans have already spoiled the Chinese Ambassadors. They have been taken through a course of unlimited feasting and carousal, At New York a great dinner was given to them, and Mr. Evarts, now Attorney General, in enumerating the points of difference between the Chinese and the Americans, sald that the former had no national debt; but, with the proverbial generosity of his coun- trymen, he added, ‘Never mind; let them take ours.” Perhaps the Embassy did not comprehend this offer; at any rate they did not acceptit. Very shortly after they were flattered by the polite at- tentians of the strong minded women. Mrs. Anthony, the conductor of the woman's rights jour- nal, called upon the Chinese and told them the only thing the American woman wanted to make her supremely happy was a vote. “i thought you were going to say a set of jewels,” replied the chief man- jarin—if he be a mandarin; but of coarse the ladies of America have minds above such vanities, It is in Boston, however, that the Chinese have had the vest success. Dr. 0. W. Holmes condescended write @ poem in their special honor, one stanza of which runs as follows:— en wide, ye gates of gold— Phi ovwaset bfeones fuk The snowy peaks of Ta Sieve Shan— Till Erie blends tte waters blue With the waves of Tung-Tin-Hu— Till deep Missonrt lends ita flow To aweil the rushing Hoang-Ho! Mr. Sumner gave the patient ambassadors a long account of Marco Polo and Mr. R. W. Emerson raised tea as “the cordial of nations.” Afver ir. Charles Sumner’s speech the band played the tune of “Cham Charlie,” the Spron, teness of which to Mr. Sumner’s light style of seems to have at once struck the audience.

It was by his advice that the mission was sent. In the selections from the despatches of foreign Min!sters laid before Com gress in 1865 there were several from Mr, yen 9 who was then about to leave China for a shot tothe United States. He had some parting inter- views with Prince Kung and the principal officials of the empire and among the advice he gave them was the following, which we extract from his own de- spatches, The interviews occurred on March 3 and are 6, 1865, Prince Kupg being present at the firss only:— . Mr. Buriingame—TI am going home on temporary leave. Prince Kung—Oh, then we may expect to see you back again. Your President has a.second term, and you ought to- have another.

To xend a diplomatic mission to the West. joth of these Mr. Burlingame illustrated with considerable detall, and Tung Tajen appeared to appreciate their value. The second suggestion has borne fruit sooner than: the first. We do not believe that Mr. Burilii is alming to outwit the Western nations, but {t looks very much as éf the Chinese had noodwinked Mr. Burlingame, We may safely anticipate that this statesman will drop some of the arguments which he has marked “for American use only” when he presents his cre- dentials at the European courts. He talked to the people of Boston about the Chinese institutions be- ing suitable for them, just as if the Americans were likely to care for “Chinese institutions” in the sharp bidding they are going to make for Chinese trade. ‘The new treaty, says Mr. Burlingame, “strikes dowm the dai us concession doctrines, under which na- tionals of whatever countries, located upon spots of land in the treaty ports, had pecome a place that they could take jurisdiction over. * * * Thia treaty strikes down all concessions of territory.” It also leaves the Chinese power to say whether or not they will have railroads, telegraphs and reforms, ‘This is all very well from the American point of view, but Mr. Burlingame ts not ignorant of the his- tory of British relations with China, and he must be aware that we have our view of the question, and that his representations in the United States have not done justice toit, “I know this treaty will be attacked,” he is reputed to have said at Boston. “It will be attacked by that spirit of tne old indige planter in India which resisted the English reforms, * * * It will be resisted by the men who opposed emancipation in the East Indies." e do not know to what “English” reforms gee the indigo planters Mr. Burlingame alludes, a there has been no necessity for any one to oppose emancipation in the East Indies—West, however, is what Mr. Burlingame doubtless meant to say. The treaty, he added, will make the tour of the world. Very likely; but it may not everywhere excite the wonderful enthusiasin which it has created in America, So far every argument which Mr. Bur- lingame used for ils acceptance by the United States is an argument for its rejection by Great Britain, Unless the head of the mission relies upon phaneios his front with great dexterity and su 3 We Sh: scarcely be able to coinpliment him upon his dipte- matic genius. He might have been sure of a hearty welcome in America without wantoniy arousing the suspicions of all other Powers which have dealings with the Chinese, GARD 07 ALDERMEN, Pursuant to adjournment this Board convened yesterday afternoon, and, prompt to time, the Presi- dent's gavel fell at two o'clock calling to order the members of the Board, who were ail present, and re- minding the members of the third house, who were present in large numbers, that the padres supertores of the municipality were about to enter upon the transaction of public business. When the roll had been called and all the members had signifred that. they were in their places the modest you man who does the reading took up the print minutes to go on with the order of business. ‘The members took up their copies of the minutes, and some of the third house delegates, to be as near the life as possible, took out copies of a democratie campaign song book and looked over the leaves with becoming dignity, imagining meanwhile, no doubt, now well they “cud do the rale thing af tha wor only in their chairs widin the railin.’’ The members of the Board seemed to be in fine numor for business, and they thinned down the gen- eral order list in good style. They agreed to pave with Belgian pavement Front street, from Whitehalh to Maiden lane; Laight, Hubert and Beach streets, from West to Washington; Seventeenth street, from First avenue to. East river; Fifty-third street, from Second avenue to East river; Fifty-first street, ditto; Fifty-eighth street, from Second to Third avenue; Sixtieth street, from Third to Fifth avenue; Seventy- seventh, from Madison to Fifth avenue; Madison avenue, from Fitty-third to Fifty-fifth street; Prince street, from Bowery to Broadway, and Thirty-third street, from Tenth to Eleventh avenue. They agreed to construct sewers in Eighty-eighth and Kighty- ninth streets, between Eighth and Tenth avenues; Ninth avenue, from Eighiy-sixth to wags fee street; Gay street, Grand street, from Ridge to Sheriff etreet, and in Water street, from Roosevelt to Dover street. This latter has now become, if pow sible, more than ever an absolute necessity to carry off the refuse corruption, &c., from the converted dens and the superfluous documents which the soul savers dispense, but which the benighted resi- dents of that locality throw into the gutter. The in- defatigable Aldermen then resolved to allow Gen- eral McClellan the use of the Governor's Room for the purpose of reviewing the citizens of. New York on his return to this country; they resolved to place in the present County Clerk's oince the city law library; they authorized the Comptroller to issue $49,000 worth of market stock, bearing interest at seven per cent, payable semi-annually in May and November, and the princips to rome due May 1, i; they authorized the Clerk of the Common Council to publish in all the papers in the city twice a week untit the last day of the registration, the list of the eleo- tion districts as amended; they agreed to erect gas lamps in various quarters of the town; to regulate several streets up town; to Increase the salary of the City Hall lamplighter to $1,000 per annum.
