Pee New Life aad Future of the Rowan Catholic Oburch. At this moment—the turning point of av age eventful beyond all comparison in bygone his- tory—the gaze of civilized mankind is fixed on Rome with peculiar interest. The eall for an Ecumenical Council of the Church reputed Apostolic and’ universal was, of itself, a great awakening to the world. To the faithful and earnest adherents of Catholicity it was a sum- mons that scemed inspired in the midst of accumulating disorders; the breaking down of all restraints; the abrogation of old tenets ; the setting up of self and the higher law, so called, in the place of the one Supreme Father, whose preeepts had become the basis and the rallying point of order in barbaric times and the bulwark against destructive license and vige in the days of a corrupt and unbelieving civilization. othe opponents of Romanism, per se, on the other hand, this call was deemed a flagrant challenge thrown down'to “the spirit of our time” and a deflance of the work achieved by religions and political pro- gross. These two epinions divided Christen- dom while the Council was sitting, and they divide it still. Bat in the meanwhile, through all the jorring and cayilling of authorities, the Church itself is evidently. undergoing a won- derful and salutary transformation, or, rather, is sloughing off the excrescences which the ambition of prelates and princes and the exigencies of peculiar times and regions had fastened on it. This process is grand to con- template in the light of a history so pic- turesque and so majestic as that of the Roman Church, In order to appreciate the change let us cast our thought backward for an instant to the period when Christianity began to take shape and emerge from the alluring but de- ceptive mirage of Pagan mythology and the im- posing but unsatisfactory rites of ancient Juda- ism. “Voice of the East, voie> of the West, voice of the four winds, woe to the Temple! ‘woe to Jerusalem!” was the terrible warning ery of him who was known as ‘‘Jesus, son of Ananius,” who, as Josophas tells us, suddenly uplifted his voice amid the city in the hour of profoundest p2ace, and ceased not by night or by day until the whole Jewish people had heard of his coming and his prophecy, But as Jesus, the Christian Messiah, had been re- jected, so was this Jesus, the prophet of ruin, despised by a headstreng people. Yet the sack of the ancient city by the Roman Titus came, and the ideas of the Christian faith caught up amid the fire and the carnage of the Jewish capital clung to the skirts of the conquerers and were transferred with them to Rome. But in the meanwhile, as we learn from sacred tradition, St. Thomas bore the Gospe! of Jesus to the farthest Ind; St. John preached it and exemplified it in Asia Minor ; St. Andrew made it a revelation of a higher life to the rude Scythian hordes; St. Philip spread it abroad over the Asiatic Continent ; St. Bartholomew established it in Armenia ; St. Matthew disclosed it to benighted Persia ; St. Simon made it the new and saving light of Mesopotamia, and St. Luke with it re- futed the legends and the imaginative heogony of Arabia. Thus was a grand, a glorious message made known by inspired and devoted mon to a suffering world. The heart of humanity leaped up to haila dawn so benignant, and, in spite of all trials and persecutions, the faith flourished and grew on all sides. The terrible persecutions which, beginuing with Nero at Rome, were continued under Domitian and his ferocious successors, but seemed to give strength, vitality and fixed stability to nascent belief so full of native strength, as the storm wind but imparts vigor te the oak whose roots are deep in the soil, the t OMice Building--The Scotia and Cuptatn Jud- kins—The Papal Zouaves--Americans in Eu- rope ~Yachting—Trotting at Prospect Park Fair Groundy—The Late Aidert polly — Disastrous Fire in Burlington, Ratapant Rowdies—Politicsand Religton— ong: the Wheat Bins, @—El!torials: Leading Article, The New Life and Future of the Roman Catho!ic Church—Amuse- ment Announcements. 9—Editorials (Continued from Sixth Paze)—Tele- ‘aphic News from All Parts of the World: Spanish Debate on the Aosta Monarchy; The Sultan Growing Closer to the Uzar; Austria Neutral Towards the Pepacy—The Latest Social Crime: The “Doctor” from the Chatham Street “Den” at_the Tombs—The Last New Jersey Tragedy—Fatai Accident at the Hamil- ton Ferry—Perlls of the Road—Business Notices. 8&=—The Tobacco Trade: Highly Interest‘ng Statis- ties About the Tobacco ‘Trade in this Country— Brooklyn City News—Real Estate Transfers —- ‘The October Gales—Proceedings in the New York Courts—Woman’s Musonry—Saratoga Out of Season—Items from Idia—Army and Navy Intelligence—The Missionartes’ Fare- ‘Wwell—Workingwomen’s Union—Lady Medical udente in Cincinnati. @—Financial and Commercial Reports—A Gold Room Row—Marriages and Deaths-—Adver- tisements. i 40—News from Washington ~The Treasnry Report— Destructive Fire in New Jersey—Aruse- ments--The Navy Yard Rerov: ass Meet. ing at the Olty Park, Brook instantly Killed--Meteorological Report—Shipping In- teiligence—Advertusements. #4—Europe: German Trace, Diplomacy and the Army Command; Napoleon’s © : pBce and Fortune: Bugénie’ M.

A Lanp Snipe of half an acre in area has fust-occurred ai Si. John, N. B. Doubiless another of the series of mysterious gcologi- tal wonders that are oveurring about us every day, shaking our faith in the stabilily of the glove. A Pamiry Quvarrn..--Hew venomous the gomen can be when they make up their minds to it! See “how Mrs. Cox, the ex-Secre- tary’s wife, took up her hnsband’s quarrel with the, President, and sent a printed criticism, out froma hostile newspaper, to Mra. Grant, anonymously, and bow Mrs. Grant, spying out tho setiree Whence it came by the Cox mono- gram on the envelope, sent it back, with com- pliments. “‘Sly, devilish sly,” as old Joe Bag- tock says. pes Oty Mayor Haut, at the Cox mass meeting last night, gave a pen portralt of Horace Greeley swhioh is richly worth reading, altbough it is toe hard on the bucolic philosopher. After Mr, Greeley gave public notice that he would not allow anybody to abuse his opponent in this canvass we had hoped the great agricul- tarist would get through without being scathed even while it sweeps away the feebler children of the forest and scatters them dying in fis path. And why was this? Because, to con- tinue our simile, the roots of the Christian creed descended deeply into the hearts of men. The simple virtues of its early followers, the purity and lofty life of its apostles and iis ad- vocates; their divine eloquence; their inspired erudition; their indefatigable toil; their fear- lessness in the presence of chains and death, and the sublime promises they uttered from the gibbet and the stake to the humblest and the weakest who believed, were a power which overawed the purple tyrants of the world and anneunced Christ and Him crucified as indeed the “very present help” and Saviour of the stricken people. Vivified by the warmth of a zoal that had been kindled by the lamps of the sepulchre, and vivified by the blood shed in so many massacres, at last, in A. D, 363, the new Church, to sorely beset by Julian the Apostate, found a Roman emperor to thoroughly protect it. Jovian, who had braved the wrath of Julian, heard his own troops exclaim, ‘‘Fear not, Emperor ; you commend a Christian army. The most aged among us were instructed by the great Constantine, and the rest by his sen.” The cross which had appeared but as 9 vision of victorious omen in the sky became a fixed emblem in the wost powerful and civilized of cities, and hurried on from conquest to con- quest unill it rose resplendent upon church spires in half the world. » At last the Ecume- nical Council, held at Constantinople A. D. 881, in the reign of Theodosiue, and aceepted inh thoughts of toiling mon to God; but, alas, tho waters of Biloa’s rook that flowed Bast by the of God had been pertuthed by hasty and misguided hands. Although the doctrine which was Christ himself remained sound, unmoved and trong, the moss and the lichens of centuries gathered on the rock of St, Peter's. The anciefft Church was too often made to seein the ally of oppressive kings and a stumbling block in the way of scientific and political progress. But, at last, after the long tribulations of the Dark and the Middle Ages, a fresh light begins to dawn upon the Catholic mission and upon humanity. As pious and imaginative dwellers by the Rhine believe that Charlemagne is yet to arise from bis tomb and by the sign of the cruefix upon the hilt of his sword of old renown restore a united Christian empire over all the West, so do many who are earnest and sincere believe that they behold in the events just occurring in Europe the ‘resuscitation of the grand Church Universal in more than its pris- tine beauty. And the aspect of the hour fully warrants this impression, The unity, the perseverance, the combined intelligence of every part in the grand total which is called the Catholic body, and which now controls one hundred and fifty millions of our race, are telling rapidly upon the endless divi- sions of religious opinion that constitute the unwieldy bulk of Protestan'ism even in its safest strongholds, The Roman Catholic system, which is a sort of imperial republic— to employ a seeming but not a real paradox— has thrown aside the hampering weight of middle-age encumbrances, ‘and now advances into the full blaze of all the intellectual illumi- natien of our time, adopting what is useful and rejecting what is dangerous in modern ijeas, retaining the sanctity of home, of parental authority, of the marriage tie and of the duty of the subject, and denouncing and resisting all “higher law” that is not of Chriat. In the presence of such a rival, armed at all points and claiming to be hallowed by long tradition and precept alike directly flowing from Zion and from Calvary, the Protestant body has no certain triumph but in restored purity of doctrine, a revived force in upholding the sacraments of God, tnd a redoubled and unsparing zealin good works, [f it will not discharge its task faithfully and com- pletely, behold One approaching whose feot are ‘beautiful upon ihe mountains,” as the bearer of good tidings to all the earth, The harvest is ripe in the fields and the reapers are abroad. America, the land of youth, of hope, of faith, of prophecy, of atonement and rehabilitation, stirs in all her borders with the impending second birth of what shall become the true Church of Emanuel. As liberty, be- trayed gnd lost in Europe, revived again upon these favored shores, to travail, fora time, indeed, but to conquer at last, and to conquer for all nations, some of whose children are gathered here as pledges and hostages for them, so may the purified Church of Christ, whose spires begin to uphold the sign of safety upon every hilltop in our land, rise higher to the light with us, and, chastened by the past, endow its future with a full fruition of God’s grace to man, and ‘broaden and brighten unto perfect day!” and Peace—The Situation and Armistice. There seems to be no doubt that the armis- tice is an established fact. It commenced on the 4th of November and will last until the 28th. The Constituent Assembly elections are to be held at once, the Assembly will convene on the 15th instant, Paris is to have the privi- lege of revictualling, and the troops on both sides will remain just as the beginning of the armistice finds them. A sleep will fall, or has already fallen, upon the military contestants in France, like the sleep that fell upon the en- chanted Moors of the Alaambra. Not a move will be made until a warlike talisman, wielded by the Legislature on the 28th, shall set them all at loggerheads again. The French ‘‘reds” have been trying to pro- voke riots in Parison account of tho armis- tice; but certainly they could not have expected any easier terms than they receive in the accepted protocol. Prussia has had France ‘‘in chancery,” to use a vulgarism, ever since Sedan, and there is no donbt that she could have dictated her own terms from the Tuileries before the middle of winter, Now that she grants an armistice on terms which permit Paris to ravictual, she is entitled to the highest commendution for her gene- rosity, although the armistice is so sure to lead to the conclusion of a treaty of peace that there is not so much generosity in, the re- victualling after all. A treaty of peace, how- ever, is not what the “reds” want. They oppose the armistice because they fear it will lead to peace, and they fear peace because the possibility of a Bonapartist, Orleans or Bour- bon prince looms up with it. However, the armistice being now estab- lished, it remains for France to hold her elec- tions, and then it remains for the Constituent Assembly to settle upon a tuture government and decide upon or reject terms of peace. The Assembly will discuss the whole political question in its present momentous bearings, will represent the voice of the people in War the by the West, proclaimed and fixed the main dogmas of the Church, and it became a posi- tive power on earth. But even with this access of spiritual dominiou began the usual corruptions and troubles that beset things humana even while they sitivingly aspire to God. The Arian, Macedonian, Pelagian, Nes- torian and Eutychian heresies and the schism of the Donatists rapidly succeeded each other. There were divided conusels ; Popes and anti- Popes; prelates who lost’ themselves in the ambition, of the prince, and princes who claimed io be prelates without the uaction and the call, formulas and ceremonies began to overerust and, eclipse the simple, pure, aweet teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, and gorgeous fanes and royal pomp super- seded the plain remembrance of the Last Sup- per and the homely words ef the morniug aod evening walks by the sacred shore of Galilee. Conversions were abundant, indeed, and, to use the same phrases which St, Paul himself, quoting from the Psalmist, applied to the Apostles, “Their veice was heard over all the earth, and their word was carried himself. If » man is to be ckiuned, however, he prefers to have it done neatly and dexter- ously, and certainly Mayor Hall has made no bungling job of this“ ving affair. to the extremities of the world.” Every continent and island hailed the cross. From Iceland to the Corea the matin and the vespor bell of Catholic worshiv directed the choosing whether France shall be a republic, a monarchy or au empire, and decide beyond any appeal but that of arms who shall be the chief magistrate of the nation. In other words, it, will supply France with that which it has needed for several months—a head. With this head Prussia can treat definitely, and according to the instructions which the Constituent Assembly gives this head we shall have, after the 25th inst.. a‘ the conclusion of the armistics, peace or war. ‘The armies are to remain as they are at the beginning of the armistice, King William, the Crown Prince and Von Moltke will retain their immense cohorts on the hills that environ Paris, and if the protocol refers to all the armies, then Prince Frederic Charles will halt in his southward movement against Lyons at Dijon, Generai Von Werder and Garibaldi in the Vosges will ‘‘stand at arms” facing each other, General Bourbaki will stay the ardor of his army of the norih, the Crown Prince | of Saxony will rest at ease on the banks of the Loire, and the immense French levies at Tots, at Rouen, | at Lyons and elsewhere throughout the coun- try will swing idiy on the gates of war, A peace, made un of all the blazonry of battle, .4 it a LiAH will appear to have fallen suddenly on the Innd, where only yesterday heavy guns wero ready to belch forth destruction on the fairest city of modera civilization, Special Telegrams from the Seat of War. During three days—from the 2d instant to yesterday morning, inclusive—we published a series of special telegrams from Europe, in which we reported the existing situation at the seat of war, some of the more immediate con- sequences of the struggle and the probabilities of peace. Our special correspondents, writing by telegraph to London and thence through the Atlantic Cable to this city, supplied a variety of valuable news matter which occu- pied many columns of the Hzratp. Avoiding thodomontade, the sensational, puff and silly and groundless conjecture and inference, they set forth the facts as they existed at the place of date of their telegraph letters respect- ively, leaving it to the educated and independ- ent mind of our free citizen readers to draw the conclusions which their own judgment would direct. In our issue of the 2d inst. we announced specially and ahead the probable failure of the armistice negotiations which - had been attempted between. Prussia and France, not- withstanding the delivery by General Burnside in Paris of a guasé executive message from King William, in which were shadowed forth the bases on which his Majesty was disposed to found a plan of arrangement preliminary to peace. The prominent point embraced in this despatch was the proposition to permit the holding of a general preliminary election in France, the assemblage of the French Logisla- ture and the taking of a national constitutional expression by vote on the peace question, Our pages brought joy during the same time to many an anxious houschold and troubled family in the United States by presenting to the home members a list of the names of the more prominent Americans who had just been permitied to leave Paris and pass through the Prussian siege lines, The mind of the nation at large was consoled and encouraged by our special exhibit of the diplomatic action which was taken by Minister Washburne to effect their liberation by application to the Prussian Commander-in-Chief for permission to insure their egress, as woll as of the position which he assumed towards M, Jules Favre in order to render the German compliment of its conzes- sion of useful and immediate avail. The general situation which prevailed in Paris on the night previous was specially de- scribed by cable telegrams in the Huranp on the 3d inst. The telegrams embraced the novel and unexpected fact of the institution of a press prosecution by the’ government of the republic in the person of M. Portalis, setting forth evideuce of a desire on the part of some of the members of the French Cubinet to re- store the system of newspaper censorship and the strangling of journalistic comment by the application of that magisterial gag which was such a favorite, and in the end fatal, instru- meni in the hands of Napoleon. Here, again, in this special despatch, we were afforded an opportunity of attesting the moral force of American disinterestedness. Immedi- ately after the arrest of M. Portalis, and while he waz still held for an examination in court, an American gentleman of this city published a letter in Za Verité, the offending journal, in which he himself assumed the en- tire responsibility of having supplied the news matter which was printed in its pages and held ia this shape a8 constituting a breach of the press law. M. Portalis was set free in consequence. Sorties in the field, the result of a French council of war, the Prussian preparations for a bombardment of Paris, with the calibre and range of their great guns, were described and set torth the same day. Then, again, we gave ample special details of the circumstances which attended the surrender of Metz, The treaty of Metz was reperted verbatim. The spoils of war which fell into the hands of the Prussians in the once great fortress were enu- merated and the French prisoners classified by regimental roll. The arrival of several Americans from Paris in London was specially mentioned. From Berlin we had an exposition of the Prussian executive position as itd likely to be held against Great Britain in her attempt at neutral interference, as set forth in Earl Gran- ville’s despatches; and this we regard as a point of very great interest in our special chronicle of the war and its present conse- quences. Our correspondent in Hamburg informed us specially, also on the 3d instant, of the extra- ordinary demonstration which was made by a squadron of vessels of the French navy against a few German luggers and fishing smacks off that port, besides noting the alacrity with which the. citizens of the good old free tewn stood to arms for the defence of the coast line should the enemy attempta landing. Yesterday merning we gave a special review of the war situation in general, the prospects in the field and the hopes of the neutral Cabi- nets. Paris was presented to our readers, with its supply of food dimintshing hourly, its economies in the distribution of horse flesh, and all its increasing social exigencies. Peace was also spoken of. The idea, it'must he con- fessed, was dim and shadowy, but it came asa gleam of sunshine amid the doubts, distrac- tions and foreign demoralizations which have inured from the war, and so formed an agree- able feature in our special despatches, AN Impostne Array of ancient Confederates was gathered in Richmond on Thursday night, taking measures for the erection of & monu- ment to Lee. Jeff Davis presided, and Gen- eral Karly, ex-Governor Wise and a number of “that run” of Confederate generals were present. What a vast amount of anecdote, regret and ridicule must have passed around among them! A HAxpsomE ENporseMENT.—The members of the bar in this city have almost unanimously endorsed the official integrity and efficiency of Mr. Charles 1, Loew, the democratic candidate for County Clerk and the present incumbent of that office. This is a handsome compliment, and one worthily bestowed. Tre PapaL Zovaves, two hundred in num- ber, have arrived in this city from Rome. They found themselves throwa out of service by King Vic successful raid on the Pope, and have returned home in consequence, vA tr Prauce Demoralized. Our news from Marseilles, from Lyons, from Tours and from other centres, as well as from Parle, reveals a state of things which {fs in the last degree discreditable to the French people, Never was @ nation so demoralized. The chaos which succeeded the fall of Rome, which ensued on the death of Charlemagne, which resulied from the downfall of the First Napoleon, illustrates but feebly the present demoralized condition of France, To-day France is powerless in the grip of her flerce antagonist. Four months ago she thought she was—she really was—the terror of Europe. But France is not merely defeated, humiliated, crushed, powerless, she is torn and rent by faction. France to-day is a house divided; and a house divided, as we all know, cannot stand. Since this war commenced there has been enough of “fuss and feather,” but a plentiful lack of pluck. This war has been most unreagonably prolonged because France would not submit to dismemberment, and to-day France, with a strange inconsistency, dismembers herself. Every separate city is the headquarters of a separate government. Tours acts independently of Paris; Lyons acts independently of Marseilles; and Marseilles acts independently of all the others. Chaos to-day is the synonym for France. A last glorious chance the French people have had; but the chance has been flung away. Had Jules Favre been more of a statesman and lesa of a sentimentalist, France might already have been a republic; but a republic is now an impossibility. Tu Last Bonn Rosazry, of three hundred thousand dollars, is only another instance of the gross carelessness with which bankers and brokers expose their wealth to the temptation of the wily and ever watchful gangs of thieves who infest Wall street and Broad street and that vicinity. If men will leave piles of bonds on the counter, as we have seen in previous robberies, or if they will not take the trouble toshutthe door of the safe upon three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of bonds, as in the case which occurred in Pine street on Thur- day—when two gentlemen of the profession carried them off—they must not expect to esgape the penalty of their rashness. Is it not questionable whether the tempter is not nearly as morally responsible as the tempted? We might say that all the late heavy bond robberies, including thet of Mr. Lord’s pro- perty, were the result of utter carelessness on the part of the owners, It does not appear, however, that our capitalists and brokers, who handle their thousands of bonds so freely, have learned much from past expe- rience in this matter. IMPROVEMENT IN THE CAMPAIGN.—We have already expressed our pleasure at noticing an improvement in the tone in which the campaign is being conducted in this State, se far as the principal candidates are concerned, at any rate. We hold this to have been occasioned by the timely advice given by the Hzratp to the political managers, who, at the beginning of the canvass, by throwing dirt at the different party standard bearers, not only besmeared themselves, but were fast causing the people to be disgusted with all hands. It is just as easy for a political campaign to be conducted in a manly and dignified way as in any other. “To TEASE AND TO Bz,TEAseD.”—There are two sets of people in the world—these who tease and those who are teased. The editor of the Sun seems to be one of the former class. He finds out a weak spot in Greeley and “goes for it,” like a horse-fly at a wrung wither. He touches him under the raw, and Greeley writhes and groans—no, swears—like a trooper. Greeley is of that class of people who can’t stand being teased, and therefore he should keep his temper, for he is a very vio- lent man, you know, when he plucks his quill from its scabbard and ‘‘sloshes around” at any particular body. Farr For THE FouypLine Asyium.—The fair in aid of this~ excellent institution will commence on Monday in the armory of the Twenty-second regiment. The charitable ladies who have taken such a deep interest in the objects of this establishment have done their share in the labor of getting up the fair. It remains now for the charitable public to assist them by making it a great success, When we consider that within the first year of its existence the Sisters of Charity who manage the asylum have saved thirteen hun- dred poor, helpless infants from abandonment, or, it may be, from death, what nobler charity exists in the city? What enterprise claims ® more liberal support? We shall not dwell now upon the possible fate of many of these poor human waifs, had not the doors of this merciful institution been open, to them. There is something suggestive inthe shecking criminal records of the hour now occupying the police couris which points to the necessity of such an institution, We hope, therefore, that the fair for the benefit of the Foundling Asylum next week will be patronized as it deserves, - Exgoution in Norta Caroiia.—William Stinson was hanged in: Raleigh, N. C., yester- day for an outrage on an old white lady. Like all murderers hanged he felt good, con- sidered himself sure of heaven, and conse- quently felt entitled to advise and counsel all the people who had come to see. A very vivid impression was left doubtless on the minds of the spectators and hearers that Stin- son would never have had apy show for heaven worth mentioning except for this un- happy accident. , Room Exoven ror Boru.—The east side property owners are a little jealous of the grand boulevard and avenues which are pro- gressing so finely on the west side of the town. They claim that as the increase of buildings has been more active in that portion of the city from Fifty-ninth street to Harlem Bridge, they onght to have a grand eastern boulevard. Why not, if they are willing to pay for it? There is plenty of room for these splendid improvements on both sides of the city. Tas Youxa Democracy AND REPUBLICANS lost caste at the beginging of the canvass by the gross aud violent manner in which they assailed the Tammany officials. Mayor,Hall was the especial targot of their abuse. But he has come out of the contest, at least up to the present moment, with his shield of official integrity untouched and unblemished, ee rR nen a. The] Tammany Organization~& Lesson for General Grant, One by one.the parties and cliques opposed to Tammany are melting away like snow before the sun. This great central political organiza- tion marches on in its conquosts'as magnifi- cently as the Prussians have marched over the opposing armies of France. It is done, too, through similar superiority of discipline, skill and the massing of forces, To carry out the simile it will not bo inapt to compare the Tammany with the Prussian leaders, That capable, solid and silent chief, W. M. Tweed, is the Moltke of Tammany; the astute Sweeny is the Bismarok, while the aotive, versatile and accomplished Oakey Hall is about as good a general in his political sphere as Prince Frede- rick Charles is in the Prussian army. The com- bination is irresistible, We have seen already how republicans, young democrats and other opposing politicians have succumbed to their strategy, and we shall see, probably, as great a victory on Tuesday next as the Prussians have gained over the French. _ It.is worthy of remark, too, that some of the most loud- monthed opponents of Tammany have been the easiest to captare. A great deal has been. said about the tyranny and corruption of the Tammany chiefs. They have been accused of making themselves rich and of expending the money of the city with a most lavish hand, The very parties which denounce them for this would do the same thing if they had the power, and would leave us nothing, perhaps, to show for the expenditure, All parties are the same in making the most out of their op- portunities. If the republicans had the city goverament they would do just as the demo- crata are doing, But the Tammany chiefs are giving the city something valuable for the meney expended. The splendid public: im- provements going on and those contemplated will make New York beautiful and attractive, - and will vastly improve the value of property. No other men in power heretofore have taken up the matter of city improvements aa earnestly or with such 9 comprehensive view as have the present Tammany leaders. Then, are not these men and their candidates for office as respectable as those of the opposi- tion? Are not Governor Hoffman, Mayor Hall, the Congressional candidates aud the other Tammany candidates for office as respectable men on the whole as those of the opposition? Why should Tammany he denounced because itis powerful? Indeed, the skill and power of the leaders of thai organization may be admired when regarded in a political point of view. The republicana might learn a valuable lesson from the Tam- many chiefs. If General Grant could compre- hend their tactics as well as he does the art o! war, and wonld follow their example, he might place his par'y on a solid foundation. The want of such ability, in view of the disor- ganization and demoralization of the repubii- cans, is strengthening the domocrats in every direction and may soon give them the ascend- ency at Washington as well as in New York. Congressional Sprouts from Editorial Hot- bods. There are no less than five journalists up for Congressional honors in this city and vicinity—to wit, ©. C. Norvell, financial editor of the Z¥mes, who runs as the repub- lican candidate from the First district ; Robert B. Roosevelt, editor of the Citizen and author of several works of high merit on piscatorial subjects, from the Fourth district; Horace Greeley, editor of the Zridune and well known for his philosophical researches for the improvement of the breed of swine and the human species, from the Sixth district; George Wilkes, editor ef the Spirit of tha Times, the best authority on sporting matters in the country, and James Brooks, editor of the Hapress, both from the Eighth district, one the republican and the other the domo- cratic candidate. Now, this being a free country, the editor of @ newspaper has probably as much right to run for Congress as any other member of a community. A man who is a journalist is not to be blamed therefor, any more ‘than a tailor should be for being @ tailor; nor should he be deprived of any of his political rights in con- sequence.

The journalist’s field of operations, his oppor- tunities to benefit mankind, hia general use- fulness, his power to expose vice and corruption and to sustain virtue, and his ability to do good in hundreds.of waya are entirely unknown in the sphere of the politician. One has only to look inte the ine trigues of the political wire pullers to become disgusted with the whole. system. Take our friend Roosevelt's case, for example. We will be bound that schemes are on foot to accom- plish his overthrow, i€ possible, to. which he, with his natural instincts’ as a gentleman, would not countenance'on his own behalf; or, if he did, it would arise from the fact that in leaving his sanctum he left honor behind, and had become contaminated by the political atmosphere in which he is compelled to move. No, géntlemen.” Better be a good journalist, respected by a constituency whose influence is universal, than to hold any public Office that has to he reached by political trickery and chicanery, whether that office. be a pound- keeper or the Presidency of the United States. That editor, we think, makes a mistake who allows his sanctum to become.a hotbed in which to cultivate Congressional aspirations. ‘Tae MetzoroLocioat Recorp.—We have reason to believe that the daily publication, in the Herarp and other newspapers, of the state of the weather thronghout the country on the preceding day is awakening much interest and developing a taste for practical and scientific observation which may be productive of very useful discoveries and results, But we would suggest to the War Department the propriety of making a change as tothe hours of obser- vation. .The last is now taken at midnight, and by the time that the results are tele- graphed, tabulated, written out and received at the newspaper offices it is too late for their publication in next moraing’s papers. We have, therefore, been obliged to omit the latest daily record, and to publish that taken in the
