MPROVEMB™ Lic saageseere 78 AT THE STATE CAPITAL, le of A” Priva ol soany are beginning to be agitated Btate at vortant matters—a city park and thenew -uainistration., The former is only of local in- 32° 1, itis true; but for both these pubhe improve- ments we at the State cppital are to be indebted to the good city of New York. The question of a park has taken firm hold on the public mind and has been pressed vigorously into motice by our enterprising Mayor. The papers of the capital have taken it up with a will, and a c@rmittee of citizens, headed by Franklin Townsen 4 (who, by the way, is to be Gover- nor Hoffman’s A Ajatant General), have put them- selves in comm gnication with certain New York gentlemen who, hve taken an active interest in your magnificent F and have received from them their opinio’ a, after an examination of the en- virons of Al’ pany, a8 to the most desirable location, ‘These part) eg have advised that the city should ac- quire for the purpose the broken and irregular ground fm the vicinity of the Patroon creek, the Duc jey Observatory, Ten Broeck street, &c., awayt »ythe Washington Park, which should form the Mm yin body of the new park. This is all very Well, gnd no donbt very desirable; but as Albany is ever y year losing its best citizens, and as those who Ter ain are not famous for enterprise, it is very ques- tio able whether the park improvement ever gets be yond a newspaper discussion or a Mayor's P aessage. ‘ @REAT EXPECTATIONS FROM THE NEW ADMINISTRA- TION. The second public improvement, to which we are Yooking forward with no litle interest—to wit, the change in the State administration—isa ditferent affair, and is certain to come in due course of time. Ifthe truth must be told, Governor Fenton has not made himself popular in Albany. With the excep- ton, probably, of General Marvin his staff has had Ro personal prestige or brilliancy. General Merritt has been a good, hard-fisted, working Quartermaster General, honest, upright and all that; but, like the Majority of his associates, he is not made of the ma- catealated to win popularity or to add écla¢ to an administration. In his otner appointments and associations the Gover- Ror’s unfortunate jealousy and futile aspirations have induced him to gather around him a very in- ferior and undesirable set of persons, and his ad- ministration has, in consequence, been about on a ir with that of Governor Clarke in 1855-6, the ies of the household being in both instances the only redeeming features. Under the incoming ad- ministration our Albanians expect to change al ‘that, and—whether correctly or incorrectly remains to be seen—they calculate upon a dashing and bril- Mant term under the new 7¢gime. The staff appoint- ments, as already announced, certainly appear to afford foundation for the hope of 8 popular adminis- cers as Gene- Pea a ee next two beri) os 4 ral in Townsend, James McQuade, James B. a, Bissell, Morris and McGee being ‘caiculated wo ‘win the good opinions of all and to grace the staif of any Executive, THE PATRONAGE UNDER THE NEW DISPENSATION. A great deal of Lege is going on among the Politicians as to w! practical results will follow the instalment of a Governor and a it Gov- ‘ernor of the democratic faith and the complete tarn- ing over of the Executive branch of the government rom the republicans to their political opponents. me persons imagine that a sweeping cl in tate patronage is to take place, and there are in ‘Consequence thousands of Re eopiicanes for the drippings from the fat goose of which it is n) paged ‘the new Governor will have the pluckii and r 4ng as soon as he is inaugurated; but the adverse character of the Legislature will be found to sadly mar these expectations and must render any new dispensation of State patrofiage a matter of com- promise. The election of last year took off the cream Of the Albany nulk. ‘The greater ‘tion of the State offices then changed hands and carried over the State House pickings, the Canal Board, the Trustees of the Capitol, &c., to the democrats. The imme- diate changes this year will, therefore, be mainly confined to the staff ‘and chamber of the Executive and to the positions under the staff officers, the Clerk of the Court of Appeals and the State Prison Board. These little seraps of comfort will be eagerly swallowed up; indeed, most of them are already dis- tributed. Colonel Cornelius Tén Broeck will be Deputy Clerk of the Court of Appeals. ‘The Adjutant General’s ofice will be cleared out, the present ea fen themed General, vee gore with e pol wi for years, bei icularly ob- Jectionable to the npc ‘he State Treas Will all have new wardens, Wm. C. Khodes, of New York. formerly State Prison Inspector, being named for Sing Sing. The'Canal Contracting Board, which has remained up to this time in the hands of the republicans, passes over to the democracy eough the addition of the new democratic Canal Com: Sioner to that side, The democrats, it will be remem- bered, have charged gross corruption upon that rd, and last session they passed ie lower jouse a bill to strip from it its power; but they may ow find themseives in an awkward fix from the fact that the contracting ring that has hitherto con- tolled the board is composed almost wholly of work: ing democrats, such as Jarvis Lord, Willard John- “son, of Oswego county, and Dr. Denniston, of 8: ra- cause, The democratic board must therefore throw thelr friends overboard and bring a hornet’s nest avout their ears, or go back upon their former de- clarations, +A PROBABLE COMPROMISE WITH THE STATE SENATE. AB bution of the more important State Entei depends upon the confirmation of the new jovernor’s appointments by the Senate, the pro- Dable action of that ly becomes of much importance in the speculations of the politi- cians. The Senate is the game as last year. no changes having occurred, and stands seventeen republicrns to fifteen democrats. One of these republicans, Stanford, was elected as an in- dependent member by democratic votes; but as he last session declared himself a republican and voted with that party there is no reason why he should not be classified on that side. The democrats, how- ever, will this year have the presiding officer of the Senate—the Lieutenant Go jor—and hence if they can make a b in on nominations with a single Senator it will be sufficient, as they hold the casting vote, Under these circumstances it is not at ali im- probable that the democrats will be able to consum- mate an amicable arrangement with certain repub- ican Senators by which the new Governor's nomi- mations may be confirmed. Last session the repib- dican wee A refused to confirm fenton’s nomina- and they went by the board. ‘The valuable ‘Offices of Health Officer of the port of New York, Captain of thegPort, Harbor Masters, Port Wardens, &c., are to be filled, the present occupants only hold- ing over, while the failure of their confirination shows that they are not acceptabie to their own side of the Senate, It is rumored that the new Gov- ernor will send in good names for these omfices, with ‘a view of pocteerwny Bs | the present ring of Fenton- ites; that among them will be oue or two selections made by the anti-Fenton Senators, and that the whole batch will be confirmed. At ail events such enterprising workers as the ‘Tam- many leaders will not be likely to lack a single vote or a couple of absentees in an executive session, while such liberal minded Sen- ators as Hale, Mattoon, Williams and Humphrey have seats around the circle. THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE ASSEMBLY SPOILS. ‘The republicans will have afair working majority 1m the Assembly and will recover the lost spoils of the session, There are a dozen or more aspirants for the Speakership, of whom John H. Selkreg, of Tompkins, a member of the Assemblies of 1966 and 1867, appears to have the inside track. The appli- cants for the Clerkship are very numerous, Luther Caldwell, formerly Clerk of the Assembly and more reventiy Clerk of the Constitutional Convention, is in the Held, backed by a large amount of funds real- fred, it is said, by successful ulations in Erie. It is reported that all the old directors of the Brie Railway, including Eldridge and Thompson, are hard at Work to secure his success, being satisfied , of his great financial ability, Cushman, of Oneida, Wishes to have another turn at the desk, but it 1s not probable that the members will “see” him in that light. Van Ort, of the New York Park office, ‘who has made several former unsuccessful attempts for the Glerkship, is pushing his claims with vigor and not without a fair prospest of success. A great many members desire to see the position, given to Richard U, Sherman, now in the ser- vice of the House of Representatives. William Richardsen, an old clerk of ratlread and lobby fame, i 0 spoken of a8 & candidate, claiming another term on the score of recent unsuccessful railroad Speculations. There are hosts of others who ire vo the clerk's desk, and the scramble is Ukely to be & lively one. THE NEW YORK POLICE COMMISSIONER MOVE. As the repnblicans have a majority on joint ballot hey will have no dimMculty in securti such Positions as the Legislature ta to fill by election thts Seesion. Im consequence of this it ts rumored that ‘they a & march upon the ba in, regard to the Police Commission in New York. It ts ,Senerally sdmitted here that the democratic Gov- €rhor intends to remove Acton from that commis- ion, legislative session This would give the demo- crate three Commissioners and enable them to joone A new President, Treasurer and Superin- Aendent. If the republicans should have the Legis. ‘Jatore when xt vacancy occurs they would ‘hen only be abie to tie the board, and could not change these oMcers. It is, therefore, proposed that Aet shall Guring the sensi and that a republic: shail be elected mm is- sior in bis place. This would leave the ko without a President, in consequence of the tie, but Superintendent Kennedy would remain, and tine is the real bone of contention—the sSuperin- tendent being of great value to the republican party.

ELM PLACE CHURCI— BROOKLYN. Farewell Sermon ef Rev. Wiliam Alvin Bartlett. Rey, Wiliay Alvin Bartlett, of the Elm place Con- cail from the Piygyoutt cb on, Picucned his fa. ** &rmon last eventirg, at thé church to which he has been attached for tag | Pat ten years. The Rev. gentleman took the “gj. lowing for his text:—2 Corinthians, 13th chapte’ , ana ith verse. “Finally, brethren, farewell; be ’ ¢r gooa comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, ane, tne God of love and peace shall be with you.” After a few introductory remarks Mr. partiett said that ne had preached his inaugv pa) sermon ten autumns ago in the little building m the rear of the church they occupied at Dre?ent, and to-night, in the midst of questions 88 £44 ag the season was bleak, he-was to utcer bis V aleaictory—the last word of a discourse a decade, jong—and to take the last step of a walk which had been openly in their midst. Of all the Scriptural eave takings—and the Bible ‘was but a record of advents and departures—none 80 fally embodied his parting desires towards them as this text which Paul sent to the Corinthians. He proposed, he said, to spend the last hour in a review of the past, a survey of the present and a glance at the future, Human life was nota simple stream, but many currents running parallel. The great national life was the background which modified all institutional life. The Chris- tian Church had ever been affected by the character of the government in which it existed by peace and war. The ten years gone had been the most notable of the century. He be gan his work just after the financial distress of 1867, and, continu- ing it during the ten years of the ripening rebellion, and through that terrible apoplexy in which the na- tion staggered. Under the plethora of thrift the church had been more or less sway ed by these tre- mendons circumstances. Zogsher they had can- vassed the ‘‘cloud no bi; jan a man’s hand,’? and seen it gather till in the blackness of Providen- tial wrath it overlaid the blue firmament as with a pall; together they had ortiained their sons agd bro- thers to this patriotic ~The put Bibles’ into cou! into their hearts and their ks and benedictions on _ their headg and followed them with prayer; together they had stood one hot summer through, walting to re- ceive the wounded, to bury the dead and to condole with Christian grief; ther their pulses ebbed and flowed with the tide of battle and the cause of truth; together they had received the earthquake shock ol the assassination and stood powerless and tearful as the; apeiled: the Urim of prayer and Tnummim of faith for a solution of the mystery; and together God had permitted them to chant the pan and to interflash the smile and to stand as one under the banner of Holory. This church had stood over the at issues of these years were in the loom of lestiny, and held 8 mirrol thé sun of truth and cast dow pee es of blessed filumination which have shuttled into the web till the divine Burien? arene acne ort Ic ver of ug! ‘ ri AB rr came renee tee and trouble and disease to try them, they handed deoxy fg, ory of these great years, They should ol her and their traditions would be flavored by the Indi- viduals with whom they shared them. Ten years in numbers and ape After having beaten around in the ers for & port they found {it and anchored on this Daly After a few weeks’ ministry in the little lecture then standing on these lots the trustees secured the hall of the Polrecnnle nish ne accommodations, Not only were they unified by a by a Christian inner. ey together, and from the snccess of the institute ex- periment were enabled to build the Brooklyn Taber- nacle, which was larger and more commodious, gaining by this second trial of removal necessary im church membership and congregation, passing through a struggle for a permanent f old in which each was called to make sacrifice of money and energy and faith. They came to the int where, from the very stress of circumstances, were compelled to buiid or break, and with a ba Mee of money, but with a majestic faith in od, they came to their final ana greatest trial, aud not a man faltered. God brought them home to this chosen site and put the name of the church and the place from which it was named once more together. In this house they struggled on, though a large part of the edifice was yet unpatd for, and ‘they were placed once more where they must stand squarely in the breach or curtail their influence and usefulness. After refe to the magnitude of their enverprise in erecting so @ church, the rever- end gentleman said he had ever striven to inculcate g@deep and abiding love for the Word of God, be- Heving it to be an inspired record, and in doing so he had been careful to mere book Worship, word = an tion worsht Knowing that Med Ps eon of ae v passeth away, but the truth remaineth —for- ever, He had endeavored make central man’s necessity for a saviour, not blinking the fact of the universal ruin of sin, but Stays teas it with the universal atonement of Jesus. He di not believe in the Devil, but in Christ, in salvation and joy, and that all human interests were identical with God’s interest, and that faith in Jesus which worketh by love is the indispensable condition of an entrance into present and everlasting delight. After some further remarks the reverend gentleman said he was rich, indeed, in the blessing of God, and had been abundantly remunerated for any labor, anxiety or trial; while he prayed that it might be God's providence that they should often meet on earth, yet he knew they must see each other at the judgment seat of Christ. He hoped they would re- main a unit, stand by the church, labor for its interests, and God would yet more biess and en- rich them, He said this is no time for tears. i have had my nights of weeping over this separatfn; but this is @ time to love one another and to trust God— a time for prayer; for God alone, not your wisdom, can give you a suitable pastor. Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfol mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you. ‘The sermon was listened to with marked attention throughout, and, after singing, the congregation was dismissed with prayer. PLYMOUTH CHURCH=BROOKLYN. Discourse by Rev. Heury Ward Beecher. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered @ highly in- teresting discourse in Plymouth Church, which was, as usual, crowded to its utmost capacity. The reverend gentleman, without much preface, pro- ceeded to contrast men with animals, holding that in some respects the latter had superior qualities, He forcibly pointed out the many discrepancies of some men, in comparison with which he alluded to the many well known good traits of domestic ani- mais. Many men in their soctal condition were little better than beasts, Could the Indian, with his nature undisturbed and undeveloped, be compared to the lovely singing bird? There were 1,000,000,000 of human beings on the globe, by whose death nothing would be missed; there would not be one single affection, one idea nor a moral sentiment lost, for their power of productiveness was nothing. How many were there whose sole aim was to main- tain life, and who were glad only to have enough to eat and drink, to have suficient to sustain sim- Je vitality. They did not aspire to anything higher than to eat, drink and sleep. , in What respect, he would ask, were such people better than the brute? Yet such men were favorable specimens, Those who worked merely to gratify their passions were simply worse than the beasts, Then, there was the lazy class of human beings, who did almost nothing, men who lived by their wits, diving their probosces into everything that did not concern them, hangers-on, those who always meant to do something but were always lazy. There was, too, another class, the men who steal, those who bring about casualties, the imen who steal with cir- cumspection, aided by a remarkable knowlenge of human nature and adroitness—they were called financiers. Others stole with impunity that for which poor men were gent to jail—they were desig- nated operators. Having aliuded to swindiers generally the reverend yentieman went on to State that @ man must produce something, must do something towards benefiting the condition of his fellow man in order to fulfll in some measure the ends for which he was created, If society could only be rid of its rogues, if society could only be freed from the oe what would happen? Every lock would pti from every door and the tone of civilization as it now stood would «disclose 4 remarkable change, while the people would be relieve from 4 plundering taxation. The miscreants who th swindled thetr fellows Were at the same time ope; mouthed and impudent. Besides these were the destroyers of men. Animals fed on animals and men fed upon men, The capital of New York haa in @ measure learned to feed the passions which destroy Ten body and soul and involve them in ruin. There ‘Was surely nothing like this in the animal kingdot, which merely destroyed by retail while men anni- hilated by wholesaie, He contended that among the most pernicious characteristics of New York were a and lust, If they could be squelched the position of the government of the State would rise triumphant. fe adverted to another class of men whom he termed the mites, harmless, no doubt, but frivolous and imbecile. These two he considered beneath the animai kingdom. In conciusion he oeariy showed that every man should have some great ennobling object im life and not render his existence useless to himself and others; that he should be we servant of his fellow man by in some manuer contributing to his moral advantage. WOE TO THIS LAND, Discourse by ** Messenger”? Snow. “The messenger of God,” Mr. 8. 8.

Lecture by Dr. Boynton. There was quite s respectable assemblage last evening at Cooper Institute, called together by the ‘announcement that Dr. J. T. Boynton would deliver @ lecture on the Bible and would illustrate his re- marke with beautifully illuminated pictures. The Doctor prefaced the introduotion of the pictures with afew discursive remarks. He quoted the words of St. John the Evangelist to the Jews, “Search the Scriptures; in them ye think ye have eternal life, but they are they which testify of me.” The lecturer went on to prove that there was a great difference between having and thinking you have eternal life. Those who only read the Scriptures have not eternal life, but those who believe in Jesus Christ have eter- nal life, because those who truly believe in Jesus will practise the precepts which He has taught. To be- eve is to practice; to do unto others as you would others should do unto you; to love your neighbor as yourself and to love God with your whole heart and your whole soul. The lecturer went on to that he did not intend to discuss any theologt- cal questions or to find fault with any peculiar sect, but that he Barkan to present a series of views illustrative Jaeeiee, in the life of the Saviour which ‘all coul and with which po perece, whatever his creed might Penge. find fault.
