He was not prepared to Say this to the President, and in his judgment the President did not deserve to be so addressed by the Senate, He proposed to leave the Executive free to turn out corrupt oMcers and others unfriendly to the republican party.

The awards for the land taken by the Brooklyn Park Commissioners for Prospect Park, compris- ing twelve blocks, bounded by Third street, Tenth avenue, Fifteenth street and Ninth avenue, amount- ing to $1,500,000, has given much dissatisfaction among many of the property owners concerned in the estimates of the Commissioners. It is claimed there exists too great a disparity in the estimated valuation of the various lots, Of the whole amount one-third wag allotted to Mr. Edwin C. Litchfield, an- other third to Mr. E. B. Litchfield and wife, and the remainder in smaller sume to various owners, A meeting of the Commissioners was held on Friday last when the property owners protested against the awarda, claiming in soveral instances more than douvle the amount allotted i ‘The awards were ’ ao ‘an follows pon, See Lewis Hun’ J.

Mr, Peter Jackson said that his perty was worth $10,000 more than the Commission- ers allowed him for it. Mr. Albert Onderuill said that his award was under $9,000 and he wanted $20,000, Several other persons complained of the jow figures of their awards and threatened to appeal to the courts for redress.

Palm Sunday and Holy Week. With today opens the Holy Week, being the Week preceding the festival of Easter. It is solemnly celebrated, especially by the Roman Catholic Church, and"of the Protestants ft is only the Episcopalians who commemorate with any specific devotional services the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem, the sorrows and sufferings of the | Saviour, His judgment and crucifixion during the week before Easter Sunday, which day is, however, by all Christian denominations consecrated to the memory of Christ’s resurrection. To-day, Palm Sunday, is specially dedicated to the entrance of Chnst into the capital city of Judea, riding upon an ass. “And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way, others cut down branches from the trees and strewed them pag an the multitude lag went bemee. ron cried, saying, Hosanna Son of David: Blessed ‘ts he that cometh in the way of the Lord; hosanna in the highest.”—St. Matthew, xxi,, verses 8 and 9, And it isin commemorat of this triamphant outs of the Saviour into the city of the temple, glo by the le as “He that cometh in the name of the Lord,”’ there will be great festive ceremonies in all the Catholic and Episcopalian churches.

In Protestant countries, and so also here, these out- ward or ic demonstrations have been abandon- ed, and the ceremonials pertaining to Passion Week, commencing with to-day, are confined to the interior of the churches, Anniversaries and Annual Meetings of Re- ligious Societies. ‘The number of anniversaries and annual meetings of religious societies during the coming spring will be very much less than in former years. In some instances the pressure of more important business, caused by a wider extension of their various fields of operation, involving an enlargement of the agen- cies required to reach the objects in view, and tn- creased expenditure is assigned as a reason for this, In other instances the expediency of a renewal of these yearly gatherings has been doubted. There seems to be a growing tendency among organizations of this nature to forego the celebra- tion of anniversaries altogether. It 18 thought that they are not calculated to subserve any particular md, and the expense which they entail draws largely upon a fund devoted to carrying out the pur- poses of the different societies. ‘The officers of several of the New York religious associations are undecided as yet as to the celebra- tion of their anniversaries, or are uncercain as to the date. The following 18 a list of such societies, so far as known, as intend to hold anniversary and —s meetings, and the days on which they will lace:— American Anti-Slavery Society—Thirty-sixtn an- nual on Friday, May 11, American jtist Free Mission—May 26.

Progress of Religion—Revivals, Churches Ore ganized, &c. Reports of religious interest all Over the country continue to be received, The summary for the pre- sent week includes 7,300 reported accessions and conversions. Of these, over 3,900 are’among the Methodists, nearly 1,500 among the Baptists and 800 among the Congregationalists. Many places in New England are blessed with the outpouring of the Spirit. In Ledyard, Ct., eighty converts are about uniting with the Church, and in Taunton, Mass., pend persons have be.n led to hope and trust in the wiour. ‘The wonderful revival at Rochester continues, the most degraded classes being reached by the truth. From the venerable Presbyterian church in East- hampton, L. [.. we hear further good tidings. On Sun ay the 7th inst., seventy persons were received into the communion on protession of their faith, tuirty-six of whom received the ordinance of bap- tism. In Parsonsfield, Me. Danbury, Meredith Vil- lage, Lebanon, N. H., Conway and Whittenton Vil- lage, Mass, and in the West church, New Haven, there has been @ good degree of interest. In Pitts- field, Mass., the interest still continues, and in Dr. Strong’s congregation alone seventy-five are ex- pressing hope in Christ. Mr. Dunn’s Presbyterian church in Boston has received 175 new members within the last four months, a majority by profes sion, The street Methodist church, New York, has received sixty-thres probationers, the James street Methodist Hpiscopal chureh over sixty.

In Sulh- van, Ili., the Methodist — reports “140 power- fui conversions” (the bie ones not reported). Among the Coty of the West, we notice that Rev. .
