STATE AND: CITY POLITICS. The Political Forces in Battle Array. y Politics Ao Longer a Soience—Political Treason ‘Made Popular—The Conspirators in Coun- '. @il—The Hersian Democracy—A Ruefal Story of One Andrews-The Republi- can Leaders Caught in Their Own Trap—An Episode Sharp and Decisive—The Released Fe- nian Prisoners—A Little Game Spoiled—Local * Nominations. If change ts advancement and a depatture from the old ways—the good old times that our venerable Public nien delight to talk so much about—then we May well say that politics and politicians of the present day are progressive. POLITICS NO LONGER A SCIENCE, Politics was once'looked upon as a science, and there are many traditions about statesmen: and salesmanship, But all these things are passing @way. Political corruption, even, was once upon & Ume a sort of science, From Walpole and Bur- Jeigh on the aristocratie side to Titus Oates and the O'Briens and Dobbyns of Ireland on the democratic sige political treason carried an air of romance and mystery about it that created a curiosity and an in- terest, at the same time that it disgusted and re- polled, je At not avery remote time in our own his- tory the political conspirator who sought to betray ‘bis cause or his country was 4 distinct character, ‘With weil defined theatrical surroundings whenever he appeared on the political stage. His work—that of all conspirators—was usually done in the dark- ess; his meetings with his employers, from whom he senght his price for betrayal, were always seoret, with mysterious entrances to the conspiratorial chamber, and someumes his costume was adapted to thor- oughiy disgmse his ordinary appearance and characteristics, ‘Thus 1s associated with the politi- Cal traitor and party betrayer a slouched hat and enveloping mautie mysteriously drawn ovor his face, like the old Roman conspirators who plotted and effected the death of Cwsar, or the bravos and secret agents of the Inquisition, In Ireland the in- formers whosiiently sat in council with government oMcials in the chambers of the “Castle” were sald ‘to sit with halters round their necks, the metaphoric halters sometimes giving place to the real hemp— the proper way to treat all traitors. But now these ancient customs are played out; all this fine stage effect is departing, and the science to which we “Ihave referred is reduced to the plainest, simplest nd most direct means, POLITICAL TREASON NO LONGER ODIOUS. Take as an illustration Morrissey, Ledwith, fox, Mogan and Hayes meeiing with the republican Jeaders in broad day, openly and undisgulsedly, and sitting and plotting for the betrayal of the demo- cratic party, and pargaining and agreeing about the Price of their treason—so many “Irish votes” to be delivered by Morrissey, Ledwith and company to the republicans for the consideration agreed upon. A prime jot of Irish votes bargained for by these men, to be turned over in good condition to black repub- Neanism upon as distinct commercial terms as those between the King of Dahomey apd the African slave traders before the war and before slavery had its Just doom pronounced upon it, or between the trader in Chinese coolies and their employers under the mew dispensation. “Blu Maggotty,” the great coolie agent from Hokadadi never made a contract for his live freight on coolier terms than have these Conspirators. Political treason is no longer odious, and political traitors and conspirators no longer hide their heads in shame. WHAT IT ALL MEANS. In what position did ‘he pretended traders in the Irwh vote place this vast ana influential body of our citizens when they bargained for their transfer to the republican party and their gupport of such a candidate as Appleton Oaksmith Woodford as Governor, An Irishman is naturally a democrat. He loves the cause of the people and he loves the very name of: democrat. He identifies with it his cherished idea of liberty and of free institu- tions. He naturally finds a home within democratic ranks, and surely there he has always found full re- cognition, influence and position. He, on the other hand, associates with republicanism the tdea of aristocratic arrogance and oppression of the hum- bier classes; and he sees, or imagines he gees, in the whole course of radical administration a centraliza- tion of power and @ subjugation of the rights of the people such as that he experienced at home, ddenti- fying his feelings on the point with the laws aimed against naturalized citizens on the system of taxation by which the rich few are protected at the expense of the many; and, in a word, he sees between the two lines, the broad mark of distinction, the rights which belong equally to all as free citizens, and on the other the attempt to wrest those rights for the benefit of a political aristocracy. All his hopes, in- teresta and aspirations are connected with the democratic party, and yet within that party he finds a set of wen who have no claim to their suf- frages, except that they have been favored beyond their merit, deliberately bargaining to sell them out to their political foes and themselves into poiitical bondage. Does any one believe that these ls andjschemings, bargains and stipulations, between Fox, Morrissey, Ledwith and Co. and the Fepublican leaders raeun anything else than an ygTeement on the partof these professing demo- Crate to tranfer democratic votes which they claim * to be the representatives of to the republican party Tor some price agreed upon, and for the sole benent of these traders either in money or local endorse- ment of nominations? ‘Ihe true test of these men’s claims woald be for them prox, Ledwith and Oo.) to go right over to the republican party, and stay there, and see how mary would follow them, than it ix to undertake, while professing to be democrats, to at- tempt to aeinde democratic voters. by false pre- tences and false valiots. When Sarsfeld threatened to leave St, Kurh’s camp he truly boasted that when be should Isave not an “Irish soul” would stay behind, Let Ledwith put the Irishman’s devo- tion to home and party to the saine test—why not an “Irish sou!” would go with tim. THR CONSPIRACY MUDDLE OVER AGAIN. During the week the plotters and conspirators on both sides Rave peen very active. The republican chieftain once more seems to be serene and happy. He shows himself every day, keeps a smiling face, and Nas assumed his late seaside expresion of heal- ‘thy acttafaction aud venlenity. He attended in per- won and by doputy to the management of the con- vention which piacoad Ledwith in nomination for Mayor as a de:ngcratic candidate, and it was curious to sve arthnr bliss and Jimmy Thompson moving about and pulling the wires of this infuentiai gather- ing accoraing to contract. But the republican leaders are happy merely because they are not couscious of the dimicnities, dangers and disasters that threaten them. Tne! ve put into successful operation a pian of pol: 1 tactios by which every man is to be aftyen out of the republican party who does not re- we the policy iaid down and submit without question to tiie deemed necessary dictation, and ft is intended to Supply the piaces of all the expellea forces with able-bodied democtats of the Irish per- suasion furnisned for the occasién by the new poit- Ucal concern of Fox, Ledwith & Co.

This haa tl effect of decapitating poor handsome Arthur, Tom Asten, and many other republican leaders who hold office under Tammany, on the admitted fact that “place is sweet and money is scarce.” But by the resolution referred to, intro- duced no doubt by some fanatic, non-place-holding, exira-Puritanical republican, the game is up will these “blow hot and blow cold” republicans, and the fat places they held under ‘Tammany shall know them no more forever. Then, again, the republican leaders have fallen upon grievous difficulties in theirs efforts to force the republicans into the demoralization of endorsing the nominations of the Hessian democracy.

AN EPISODE—SHARP AND DECISIVE, ‘The present week promises to be one of renewed trials to the t leaders and statesmen of the re- publican party of the great State of New York. way of episode, before speaking of the nominations, a recital of a little incident, illustrative of the sa- gacity of the U! States Marshal for this district, ‘Will be apropos. e cl Tmade against Wood- ford, commander-i.-chief of the republican forces and standard bearer of the ‘ty in this State, of complicity ‘in shielding the convicted slave trader, Appleton Oaksmith, given no lit- tle annoyance to the repubiican politicians throughout the State. ‘To have @ candidate who was not above reproach and suspicion of guilt of the hetnous offence of lending ald and comfort to ® slave trader naturally excited anpleasant emo- tions in the bozom of the great party of moral ideas; and while they were willing to recognize the pro- priety of Woodford treating the charge with silent contempt, some of them thought that it would be a re idea to take hold of the matter and disprove it, if possivle, by hook or by crook, or set at rest for- ever this charge against their standard bearer in the campaign. So a letter was concocted at sine addressed to ex-United States Marshal Robert Murray, demanding the evidence upon which the implication was a, To give importance to the expected excuipation this letter ‘was to bave been signed by William G, Weed, Ly- man Tremain, of Albany, and other leading republl- cans in the State. It ovccnrred to Mr. Weed, as a bright idea, that General Sharpe, who nominated Woodford at the Saratoga Convention, should unite in signing the letter, “demanding the evidence.” Accordingly Weed posted to this city with the let- ter and presented it to Marshal Sharpe for his sig- nature. ‘The latter, on perceiving the document started up in amazement, and exclaimed, ‘dood Heavens! , 1 cau’t sign that.” Weed asked, “Why not, Sharpe?’ To which Shai answered, “Why; because Bob (Murray) has got the evidence.” ‘This 1s the veracious report of the reason given tor the suppression of the letter in question, and which, probably, will never come to light after all. THE RELEASED FENIAN PRISONERS—A LITTLE GAME FOILED. A part of the scheme, as alleged, of dealing so severely with the Fenians, arresting them, trying and convicting them, and sending them to convict cells in @ State prison, was to make a parade of pardoning them just before the election, in the hope thereby to influence the Fenian vote. However this may be their pardon has been signed and sent to the prison authorities. On the 13th of October, the day before their discharge, an Ged of the repub- lican party calied at the Auburn State Prison to im- ress upon General Starr and Messrs. Thompson, lannice and their associates the extent of the clemency extended to them and their great obliga- tions to the republican party therefor, and to secure them ag missionaries to go through the State and convert all the Fenians they could and make them vote the republican ticket. But their efforts proved wholly unsuccessiul. ‘Inese gentlemen, who had suffered 80 much for their cause and been subjected to the degradation of being assoclatea with felons and convicts, declared that they would not sell their principles at any = and that whenever they should be released they would, on the contrary, do. thelr utmost to ald in the triumphant election of the democratic ticket, and thus another Little game of the republicans has been spoiled, LOCAL NOMINATIONS. The democratic machinery of the city has been set in motion and this week the several nominating conventions of Tammany Hall will meet to place candidates in the field. The Tangnany Regency have adopted a new line of tactics for this campaign. They have said to all the candidates applying for nom- mations—"‘Go betore the people and vindicate your ciaims, and the conventious will not fail to nomi- nate in accordance with the popular will thus indl- cated.” Thus the nominations for Sherif, County Clerk and Coroners: have been contestea for ag actively as is usual for an _ election. The masses of the party have manifested teir wishes for these prominent nominations in unmis. takable terms, and the convention will simply have to endorse the popaiar wil, These nominating con- ventions have heretofore been surprise parties, no one knowing who was to be nominated except the Jew initiated, and the system had given rise to well founded hostility to the dictation of leaders, The Tammany Regency have wisely slufted this responsi- bility, and the people in the widest sense may be said, On this occasion, at least, te have made their own nominations, SHERIFF, COUNTY CLERK AND CORONERS, Brennan and Loew have shown overwhelming strength for the nominations respectively of Sheriff and County Clerk, and of course will have the fleld entirely to themselves, since the graceful with- drawal of Judge Shandley as competitor to Brennan, ‘The nominating convention of Tammany Hail will nevertheless be an exciting and interesting occasion; for naturally all the associations, clubs and organt- zations of every kind which have been so active and enthusiastic in manifesting their choice will be in attendance inand about’ Tammany Hall on Wea- nesday evening to strike the final blow on their la- bors. Fourteenth street in front of the hail will be a mass meeting in itself. There have been dificulties 1n the contest for the nominations for Coroners, It was a settled cact all along that Coroner Keenan was to be renominated. The jabor organizations of the city have very generally united in support of Ne.son W. Young, and their representatives will waitin a body on the Convention and urge his nomination, Then the Germans have united in requesting the nomination for one of the vacancies, and present the name of Gerson N. Herrmann. Mr. Richard Croker is also Cirsp ft urged, and is undoubtedly @ most popular candidate. As we have stated, Tammany’s policy in this campaign is to throw each candidate upon his own individual strength and popularity in the community. This is @ wise and most politic resolye, and one which should satisfy every candidate with just and proper claims for the gene of: his fellow citizens, Ac- cepting this test, with admitted ability and qualifi- cations of the highest order, Mr. Croker enters the arena and presents his claims for the office. If it were any but @ county office there would be no fear or doubt of Mr. Oroker’s election, for in bis own and adjacent wards he is onc of the most popular men of the day; and whatever cuntroi—for, after all, considerable control must still be reaerved—that Tammany possesses in the noiaination of candidates ought to be given to a man so eminently qualified in every respect for the office he seeks, FOR CONGRESS AND ASSEMBLY, For the nomination for Congress some consider- able doubt seems to prevail in the Fourth district as to who will be the nominee of Tammany Hall. It is probable that Ben Wood may be nominated; if he should be, however, it is understood that he wiil decline, Morgan Jones aud Walter Roche are spoken of; but they, it seems, are not ambitious of ongressional honors, Robert B. Roosevelt will un- doubtedly be nominated by the several democratic union Hd aepematge and the contest wil: be livet and inte! Boo Roosevelt will be a strong cand! date. He ts the representative of one of the old- est commercial families in New Y gentleman of culture and an able speaker. belug espe- cially @ commercial district great etforts will be made to secure his election, and Tammany Hall Per t ite best man in the .fleld if it hopes to de- feat him. Saniuel S. Oox will be renominated. He is strong aud popular with all classes in nis district. His great Congressional experience, his faithful atten- tion to his duties and his skill and power in debate, make him an invaluable Congressional representa tive for the city. Colonel William R. Roberts has made a stirring canvass for the nomination in place of Morrissey, and has powerfal popular support. It ts understood, however, that General William M. Tweed, Jr., will be nominated if he should desire the honor. In Calkio's district all the indications are that Smith Ely, Jr., will receive the united support of all factions and divisions of the party, and he will iere- tore be elected jarge a istrict it is @ petted fact that James In the Eighth Brooks will be renominated, having made his with the powers that be, so Brooks will serve another Congressional term.

BROOKLYN CITY. Attack on a Revenue Officer by a Mob—Police Affairs—Incendiarism—Miscel- laneous Items, There were 381 arrests by the police in Brooklyn during the week, Mrs. Catharine Fairweather fell out of a third story window of her residence, No, 24 Monroe street, Williamsburg, last evening, aud was almost in- Stantly Killed. Mrs. Fairweather leaves a husband and three children. The Police Commissioners yesterday ordered the dismissal of Patroman Florence Reardon from the force for grossly insulting a female. The officer named, who has been a long time connected with the police, was attached to the Third precinct, A revenue official, named George Carter, was attacked by a mob corner of Hamilton avenue and Van Brunt street at an early hour yesterday morn- ing while attempting to arrest Thomas Sullivan for an alleged violation of the Revenue law. He was compelled to draw his revolver and fire a couple of shots to defend himself, until oficer Lewis, hearing the noise, came to the rescue. The Catholic Library Association has been dis- banded by resolution of the members adopted ata recent meeting of that organization. The cause of the disbandment of this club, which has been in ex- istence for eleven years, is owing to the fact that it is $500 in debt. Though there are 200 names on the roli of membership but fifteen of this number put in aD appearance at the final meeting. The residence of Mr. William Darton, No. 92 Van- derbilt avenue, was set on fire in four different places about four o’cléck yesterday morning. ‘The family are absent from town and the house 13 unoc- cupied. The occupants of the adjoining dwelling fortunately discovered the fire before it had gained much headway. 1t was extinguished after having effected a damage amounting to about $400, The Fire Marshal 1s lavestigating the aifair. St. Vincent’s Home for Boys, one of the most laud- able charities In the City of Churches, is avout to receive a substantial benefit, On Tuesday evening next Rev. Father Hecker will deliver a lecture at the Academy of Musto, on “The Religious Condition of the Country.”” The proceeds of the sale of the tickets are to be devoted to the fund for the mainte- nance of the institution above mentioned. The abii- ity of the distinguished lecturer guarantees to alt who can attend @ genuine intellectual treat. Shortly after nine o'clock on Friday night a fire broke out in the dweiling house No. 1,487 Pacific street, near Brooklyn avenue, owned and occupied by Mr. Edwin P. Bassett. A damage of $3,000 to buliding and furniture was sustained before the flames were subdued. The building adjoining, owned by Mr. J. H. Ruck, was damaged to the same amount, Mr. Bassett has an insurance on his pro- perty of $10,000 in the Washington and Mutual In- surance Companies. Mr. Ruck’s loss 1s also covered by insurance in the Montauk, Jefferson, Nassau and Brooklyn Insurance Companies. A committee of three prominent citizens, resi- dents of the Fourth Assembly aisirict, called on Mayor Kalbfeisch yesterday and stated that thsy understood that it was the boasted intention of cer- tain primaries to give the nomination for Assembly to a certain candidate, whether he received the votes or not. The committee asked the assistance of the Mayor, as chairman of the bemocratic Gene- ral Committee, to aid them 1 defeating the machi- nations of these corrupt “outlaws of the ballot’ by securing an open, fair count. His Honor assured the committee that he would take steps to effect tne desired end, and tt was decided to hold a eonference prior to the primaries between the various inspec. tors of election in each ward of the Fourth Assem- bly district. UP-TOWN TRANSIT. Opeuing of the One Hundred and Twenty~ fitth Street Railroad=Its Rules aud Cons struction. ‘The new horse railroad, 125th street, was opened yesterday by Mr. Robert Squires, its sole owner. The franchise of this road was sold by the Commis- sioners of the sinking fund to Mr. Squires for $67,000, and its construction was commenced on the 26th of August last and completed on the 14th inst. The following gentlemen were present at the opening yesterday, and made the trip over the entire length of the road and back:— Robert Squires, Thurlow Weed, R. Chalmers Squires, J, R. Butler, President of the Sixth Avenue Railroad; William M. Tweed, Henry Smith, Com- missioner of Police; E. J. Arthur, Secretary of Third Avenue Railroad; E. 8. Dickinson, 8. R. Comstock, President of the Citizen’s Bank; Henry Hart and General Juhn G. Forbes. A handsome collation, offered by Mr. Robert Squires, awaited the return of these gentlemen, and was hugely enjoyed. ‘The cars of this road will run at inter+ais of ten minutes, connecting with the following railroads:— ‘Third Avenue, Eighth Avenue, New York and Har- Jem Railroad, New York Central and Hudson River railroads. The boats for Astoria, Peck silp and High Bridge will also connect, and the Albany boats and trains will stop at Manhattanville, the terminus of the route, to form connection with the cars of the 125th Street Ratiroad. The’ tare is five cents. The cars are lignt and handsome, and are operated witnout the aid of a conductor, each car being provided with a patent fare box, inte which the passenger puts the exact fare, and, if unprovided with change, the driver accommodates him. The cars are capable of seat- ing twenty persons, and nave no rear platform, They will only stop to adm: the number prescribed, to avoid all crowding. This raijroad owes its origin to the enterprise of Mr. Robert Squires, who has been for many years president of the Third Avenue Railroad, E. 8. Dickinson superintended tle construction and Mr. George W. Field had charge of the Jaying of the track. Owing to their rushing efforts the railroad has been con- structed within a comparatively short time. The cars will run irom five A. M. to tweive P. M., and if necessary all night. The ratlroad was open to the public all day yesterday, free of charge.

The Greek Catholic Church—Its Creed, Ad- minatrati: ind Policy. As the United States are to have three bishoprics of the Greek (Russian) Catholic Church established on their soil, one in New York, one in New Orleans and one in San Francisco, and as the building of the New York cathedral ts soon to begin, the future bishop of its diocese having arrived in our mtdst, it May not be amiss to give our readers an idea of what the creed, the administration and the policy of that Church 1s, SEPARATION OF THE GREEK AND ROMAN CHURCHES. The final separation of the Greek and Roman Catholic establishments took place in the ninth cen- tury; but an estrangement had been prevailing be- tween them for more than two centuries previously, for the chief reason that the Roman Pontiff claimea @ supremacy which the Greek Church would not acknowledge, and twice afterwards a reunion of the two was taken into consideration, which was foiled by the Pope’s conaition that he should be the sole head of the Christian world, Thus it is that in mat- ters of creed there 1s no remarkable difference be- tween these churches, the more important articles of faith having been settled before thetr separation, to wit—by the seven first Ecumenical Councils. Among the mmor differences in this re- spect may be mentioned that the Greeks have not all the seven sacraments in the same form, not all the saints, have not the worship of the Mother of God and the dogma of her immaculate conception, these and several other articles of faith having been settled in the Romish Church after the separation. At @ superficial glance, therefore, the Greek Church @ppears much more akin to Protestantism, and the Greek clergy, when trying to make proselytes among Protestants, represent that their creed is free from Romish superstitions, and more akin to that of the original church of the first centuries. It isa matter of policy with their bishops, who alone have hitherto published volumes of sermons, to preach 80 cautiously that Protestants and the more intelli- gent class generally should find the Greek aoctrine in no wise different from the Protestant—nay, almost akin to the Ideas of the more liberal Christians, RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE. They also claim to be, and always to have been, tolerant; never to have burned any heretics alive at the stake; never to have known the Inquisition and its misdeeds; never to have preached crusades against the heathens, or religious wars against the unbellevers. This accords with historical facts, though it does not prove their spirit of toleration, as we shail later see; It seems rather to be explained from the fact that the enormous majority of the Greek Catholics are Slavonians, and even the Greeks themselves largely blended with Slavonic blood. The Slavonic race 1s of @ good-natured, child-like turn of mind, adverse to reflection and Investigation, and notinclmed to fanaticism. ‘Thus it is that, ever since the whole East of Europe was converted to Christianity, and 1t formed the great bulk of be- ltevers in Greek Catholicism, that Church came to a Mental standstill. No more science, no more philo- sophy, except in a very few monasteries, aad even there soon an end of it.. No more learned men nor books; no more high schools and libraries; no more inventions and discoveries; no more new opinions and convictions. An utter stagnation of thought, a complete absorption of religion’ in ritualism and su- perstition of the lowest kind, and no spirit of opposi- ton whatever—how should intolerauce rise where there were no heretics? It 18 true there have been sects—the Kathari of the ninth and tenth centuries— who revolted against the worship of pictures and demanded a return to the Christian simplicity of the first times; but they were soon stamped out. Later, the Starovierzi and Raskolnikt, in Kussia; bat they revolted only against trifing innovations, and be- came, to some degree, reformers in creed only, through an unsuccessful secution, they living only in the remotest parts of the empire, where Church and State w.elded litde power, ‘THE GREEK CLERGY. The Greek clergy, in their isolation from: the Mentai struggles of the middie and modern ages, are utterly innocent of science and philosephy, learning and Ingher aspirations. Only those of tiem who prepare themselves for the higher oilices of the Church receive # traditional polisn of make-believe education, They must remain unmarried (the whole of the secular clergy are exempt from celibacy), are ralsed in convents and trained In declamation and delivery of sermons and in the secrets of the policy of the Church. They are diplomatists more than anything else. THE CZAR THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH. It was a fine stratagem of diplomacy that Czar Peter I. (wrongly called the Great) usurped the power of the head of the Church within Russia and made his people, spiritually independent from the Greek Pat h in Constantinople, who could be nothing but @ tool in the hands of the Sultan. and that the Greek Christians in ate! ever since regarded the Czar as their real Pope and spiritual law giver. This gave him in their eyesa new claim to the worldly Tule over what formerly had been the Greek-Roman empire, and in him their hopes now centred for their future deiivery from the Turkish yoke. He surrounded himsclf, as head of the Jhurch, with a conclave of bishops and Archimandrites (abbots), which was called the “Holy Synod,” and it is this very body of men who rule Russia, by far more, at least, than the Kinperor and his worldly advisers— the Senate. THE POLICY AND WEALTH OF THE CHURCH. The policy of tus Church is to bring about per- fect uniformity in creed and rites over all the in- habitants of the huge empire, and to spread this empire and its religion all over the world. The means to that policy are money and subserviency of the worldly power to the spiritual. . The Church is rich, byfar the richest corporation in Russia. Ita riches can only be approximately estimated. y amount, aside from the enormous amount of trea- sure spent tu Costly cathedrals and eyurch edifices (the policy {8 to have one churca to every 600 of Greek Christians), to perhaps 1,000,000,000 of silver robles ($750,000,000) In money or 1ts equivalent. These riches spring from # variety of sources—sale of books of devotion, of the pictures of saluta, and of the sacred candies, which must be kept burning before them in every believer's dwelling; clerical fees for marriages, funerais and baptisins and for visits to the shrines of the salots and a great many more. And this enormous income is well husbanded. The secular clergy ate baer kept poor (they live, on an average, on a fixed salary of 690 rubles banco—$126 in cold—a year and on what they may extort from the believers; they are tor this rea- son despised by the people of all classes, and this seems to be the policy, in order to prevent them from befriending the poorer classes); even the higher charges receive only moderate allowances, The whole surplus of the income of the Church is accumulated. Part of tt is spent for the purpose of covering the land with church buildings and tmple- ments, part of it for the snbvention of the govern- ment, to keep it grateful and subservient, UNIFORMITY OF CREED AND CBREMONI@S. ‘The gratitude of the government must b ¢ proven by enforcing (as far as can be effected without too much publicity) that uniformity of creed and cere- monies which is :se vest aid to autocracy aNd avso- -aelg =There is @ number of laws embodied ip the sy & code of the empire slowly but admirably that It is foroidden pl penalty of death (or i yaient, life long | of every weck.

Shemiuee Azereth—The Concluding Days of the Feast of Tabernacles. This evening at sunset begins the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, it being the 22d day of the month of Tishri, known m tne Jewish liturgy as the Feast of Conclusion, or Sheminee Azereth. The day 48 remembered as one of joy for the people of Israel for thelr providential deliverance from bondage in Egypt. The “lection” for the day is taken from thirty-taird chapter of Deuteronomy, begin- ning with—‘And this is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of israel before his death’—and ending with the joy- Tul outburst of national pride, ‘Happy art thou, O Israel! Whois like unto thee, O peuple saved by the Lord, the shield o1 thy help and the sword of thy excellency!

Ashort time since we gave from the Watchman and Reflector of Boston & statement indicating the growing disposition of the Southern Baptist churches to co-operate again with their Northern brethren. The Methodist of last week contains information with regard to the feeiings of the Southern branch of the Methodist Church, which 1s alike gratifying. The late Southern General Conference unani- mously adopted a resolution that it was the judg- ment of that body that the true interests of tne Church of Christ requires that they should maintain their separate and distinct orgamzation. From this Dr. J. Anderson, of Florida, dissents, andin the Bal- timore Christian Advocate he has been earnestly putting forth his views. Of course, ft 1s the expres- sion of the feelings of a minority, but that expression: 1s an indication that the matter commands attention, and that the cause of reunion 1s making progress.
