pll human conduct flows; and as the heart is pure or impure so will the character and gon- duct of the individual be good or evil. The Doctor found a good illustration for one branch of his subject in our dethroned city officials, who first speculated with the public Money and then took it.. If the Doctor lives Jong enough, and we hope he will, he may be able to point a moral and adorn a tale with the conviction of our public plunderers, as Jersey City has served her unfaithful ones, Mr. Taylor, in pointing out certain steps by which ‘wo may avoid quenching the Spirit, recom- mended breaking away from evil companions and from mockers of religion, giving up of the theatre and too close attention to business to the neglect of religion. It might be safe, ho thought, for strong Christians to go to the theatre occasionally, but it is not safe for the ‘weak ones. The spiritual life of a matured Christian might not be endangered, but to the new convert there is imminent danger; and it is the duty of older Christians to preserve the lights of the newly converted from being blown out. The only way a man can keep the froshness of his conscience is to keep his heart up to his conscience. Men may succeed in staving off the devil at prosent, but con- ‘science and he will come with terrible force in the future, Dr. Foss went in strongly against the mis- use or the selfish use of power, and declared that all the evil done on the earth is the result of the selfish use of power, and that this is the spring and the basis of it all. The lessons @rawn from the theme were that men ought to use their wealth and influence and power for God’s glory and for man’s good. Dr. Creamer warned the worshippers in Grace Church against receiving the eucharistic ele- ‘ments unworthily. The Rev. Mr. Stew- art preached his maiden sermon to this Presbyterian congregation, and con- emned the ignorance of the pulpit in the resent day, which comes of trusting too much piety without mental culture. Father Starrs cautioned his Catholic hearers against trusting alone in the merits of Qhrist’s meroy for sal- vation. It will not save the evil doer. Good works must be added, and every man is to be Judged according to his deeds. Dr. Stitt, of Kingston, N. Y., maintained that the Christian Sabbath is the bulwark of the nation’s liber- ties, It is a temple dedicated to God. But ~whilo men want to retain the temple they seck to destroy the inscription, ‘Holiness to the Lord."” The Doctor gave some reasons for keeping fast by the Sabbath ns a Christian holy day, but they aro the same that have been presented time and again in these columns, and while the press upholds the sanctity of the Sabbath we do not think the Doctor ‘need be greatly e}-rmed about it. Besides, if it be of eat be overthrown. recast of the Season. at summer bids fair to be most pe- -phenomenal. It cannot be claimed wGence has as yet unfolded the laws yehich regulate the mysterious eccentricities of plimate, or discovered all those wheels within wheels which, in their rotation, bring round the supra-annual cycles of cold and hot years. ‘Enough, however, is known of climatology to ‘warrant some deductions and an occasional par- tial forecast of seasons ; and, as the Herat has previously shown, these deductions have been successfully made by our best scientists. Nothing is more clearly and historically cer- Yain than the immense vicissitudes of tem- ture and attendant phenomena of dryness d humidity. In one memorable year of English history there was scarcely a day, from March to August, in which there was not rain, and subscriptions were raised for the hay- ynakers thrown out of entployment. In this ‘bouniry the Mississippi Riyer, which drains a Jnrger extont of surface than any other water ‘course, furnishes a measure of our rainfall and » vivid illustration of the annual variation of ‘our seasons. The most exact estimates of its mverage discharge give us nineteen and half trillions of cubic feet; but in 1839, and again in 1855, the discharge was only eleven trillions, while in the great flood years, ‘as 1823, 1844, 1858 and others, it attained the enormous amount of twenty-seven trillions, It appears that the phenomenon of an abnor- mally cold year manifests itself in a reduced ‘oceanic evaporation. The clouds which bear this evaporation over the earth’s solid surface ‘bre woll known to act as a screen, shielding us fn summer from the radiance of the sun, and Jn winter tempering the rigor of the air by the evolution of their latent heat, and also by preventing the earth from radiating its heat into space. In the phenomenal cold year we havea scarcity of clouds, and, consequently, the seeming paradox of an intensely severe (winter and a summer in which the solar rays strike us with merciless and unrestrained power. The thermometric data of the Royal Observatory of Scotland, when fully discussed, “ed to the prediction of the past extraordinarily cold winter; and judging from their data and others which agree with them, as well as from the reports of deficient rainfall in the West Indies, and the dryness and intense heat over our whole country, we have reason to appre- hend a dry and hot summer, | It is idle to shut ‘our eyes to the danger ‘of “a protracted and fatally severe season. Everything premonishes At, and we should spare no pains to prepare for it. The Hewarn again repeats the warnings it has previously given to the authorities and the public generally to husband the water supply, and in every way possible to multiply the facilities for obtaining it from subterranean ‘eources, Tax Late Ervrrion or tue Voroaxo oF Menart, i Tor East.—From Batavia, Java, we Ihave very melancholy accounts of the sad con- sequences which resulted from the latest erup- tion of the Merapi volcano, the oceurrence having taken place in the East, as our readers willrecollect, during the roll of the subterranean fiery wave which set Vesuvius in motion, and almost coincident with that ovent. Two bundred persons perished by the visitation at Merapi, besides large numbers of catile, The distriat of Boyolali, in the principality of Solo, was laid entirely waste, and the inhabitants of the sur- rounding territory suffered very great dis- tress. The vast cone of ashes which formed around the crater of Merapi during the erup- tion of 1869 fell in, and the mountain gave forth dense clouds of smoke seven days after the subsidence of the flame. Merapi was in violent eruption previously from the 14th to the 17th of September, in the year 1849, and it may be said of the mountain caldron that asa grand natural flery sentinel in Asia it sympathizes with and responds to the internal pains and external alarms of its larger brother in Europe promptly and with very deep intensity. Light the Park. It has been said that to keep the Central Park open all night, as well as in the day, would lead to indecent or immoral practices, and the reports of the police of such things occurring now have been used as an argument against keeping the Park open, and, strange to say, against lighting the Park also. Now, the Park in summer is kept open till eleven o'clock at night—during three hours of dark- ness—and to close it earlier would deprive the mass of our industrious citizens and their families, who have no leisure but in the even- ing, of the benefit of its cool, puro and health-giving air. Few, therefore, we pre- sume, would desire to see the Park closed at sunset, And in winter who would wish to prevent thase gay and charming night skating scenes on the numerous lakes, which make the Park like a fairy land, and in which our young people of both sexes particularly find the most delightful and healthy recreation? The Park must be open part of the night at least. Why, then, should it not be lighted ; yes, brilliantly lighted, and be open at all times? This is the way to prevent the evils complained of, and which, we think, have been greatly exng- gerated. With the Park well lighted and a proper police inspection there would be little fear of improper practices. The people them- selves would be a sort of police, for out of the vast numbers that go to the Park there are few of an improper character or with improper in- tentions. To object to keeping the Park open and lighting it is an unjust reflection upon the great body of our respectable citizens. Can not the people be trusted to behave themselves and to make others behave properly? The Park is the property of the citizens, and is for their use. There need not be any fear, if the Park be lighted. With that very little police vigilance would be necessary. The expense of lighting, or even of additional police force, if necessary, is a small consideration compared with the advantages to the public. We say, then, let the Park be lighted and kept open at all times. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. Ir Is AT LENGTH ANNOUNCED that the tenth and last volume of Mr. George Bancroft's “History of the United States” will appear shorty from the press of Little, Brown & Co., of Boston. As the ninth volume only took the reader down to the year 1778, it Is evidently the purpose of the dis- tinguished author to close his work at the end of the Revolutionary War, in 1783, instead of bringing it down to the adoption of the constitution, as origi- nally intended. THE AMERICAN PUBLISHERS’ TRADE CIRCULAR animadverts upon the current fashion of pub- lishers issuing “author's books" of little or no value, and lending them the benefit of their ¢mprt- matur, on condition of the writers paying the cost of publication, It says the practice seriously in- jures the reputation of every publishing house in- duiging in it.

THE PuBLic Lrsrary of Chicago wHl be able to expend $35,000 for books the ensuing year. This, with the donations it has received and may still expect, will give the literary phonix a very hand- some start. THE PaRIS PRINTING AND BOOK TRADE are in a quandary. For centuries the printing of books has been a special privilege, the number of persons who might exercise the business haging been limited up to the year 1791, when nearly all restrictions were abolished. During the revolution printers so mul- tiplied that no control over them could be main- tained, and under the first empire the num- ber 6f printers in Paris was limited to eighty, to whom patents were issued, When one died or was removed his patent was sold out (being worth latterly 18,000f, to 20,000f.) By decree of the “Government of National Defence,” in 1870, the professions of printers and bookseljers were de- clorca trée to all, with a proviso that subsequent legislation should provide for the claims of the actual patent holders, No such subsequent legisla- tion has been passed, and now the whole question has become very complicated, many new printers having taken up business, while all the old patentee printers are clamorous for indemuification for the injury thus sustained in their vested rights, Pend- ing a final settlement, it is strongly urged that the decree legalizing free printing be suspended, and this course seems likely to be taken, Proressor 8.

Saltillo Cut Off and Bound to Capitulate to the Revolutionists. SPREAD OF THE REVOLUTION. Diaz in Jalisco Strong and Hopeful. DEFEAT OF JUARISTA CAVALRY. A Great Battle Imminent Near Monterey. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The Herat correspondent at Matamoros has forwarded us the following special de- spatoh: — ‘ Maramoros, Mexico, July 6, Via Browxsviuie, Texas, July 6, 1872. General Quiroga, commanding a portion of the revolutionary forces near Monterey, has sent a despatch, dated 28th ultimo, from Caliera, his present headquarters, wherein he says that General Trevifio, who has sur- rounded Saltillo with 3,000 revolutionists, has not yet made an attack on the city, In order to avoid the effusion of blood attending a general assault. BALTILLO MUST SURRENDER. The hostile garrison, says Quiroga, have very little ammunition, nor can they hope for aid, as the movements of the government troops under General Ceballos have been s0 slow that they are unable to arrive in time to the relief of the city. But were there even no delay in the movements of Ceballos, the revo- lutionists would be able to spare a force large enough to check his advance on Saltillo. There is no alternative left to the garrison but to capitulate. STRENGTH OF THE REVOLUTION, The revolution has increased in strength throughout the whole country, and it still con- tinues to spread with great rapidity. A letter has been received from General Porfirio Diaz, who is in Jalisco. Ho says he is operating in that State with very strong forces. He hopes to be able to announce some important results in a short time. REVOLUTIONARY PLAN AND VICTORY. The revolutionary Generals Naranjo and Bara are at the head of 1,000 men, between Monterey and Saltillo, awaiting events. They have taken this position to be within support- ing distance of both cities—to repel any attack that might be made by the Juaristas on either Saltillo or Monterey. From Metahuala the news has reached here that the Juarista cavalry, of 300 men, forming part of General Sanchez Ochoa’s forces, has been defeated by the revolutionary General Pedro Martinez, who has taken 150 prisoners. General Ochoa is concentrating his forces at San Luis Potosi. A BATTLE IMMINENT. The Heraxp correspondent accompanying the government forces of General Ceballos has senta telegraphic despatch from Morin, about eight leagues from Monterey. He announces that General Ceballos, who has just reached that place, promises tobe at Monterey about the 8th instant. A battle must, therefore, take placein a few days between Ceballos’ army and the revolutionary forces, which will prob- ably decide the fate of Monterey. FRANCE. The Tresty for Territorial Liberation Ratified with Prussia, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The bill to raise a loan to meet the financial obligations of the treaty will be introduced in the French As- sembly to-morrow. MURDER BY A OLERGYMAN. and Killed by a Methodist Preacher. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 7, 1872, A shocking tragedy was enacted here this after® noon, in which a boy twelve years old, named Frank Schikk, the son of a widow, was shot and killed by the Rev. Samuel J. Browne, | an aged local preacher of the Methodist Church. It appears that Mr. Browne has been for some time past greatly annoyed by boys, who, in spite of re- eated remonstrance, have entered his premises to ke his fruit and commit other depredations. To-day a number of boys were playing ball out- side, when a ball was thrown into Browne's yard. Young Schikk entered the premises to recover it, and the old man fired at him with slugs, one piece striking him in the breast, inflicting @ wound from which the boy died in a few moments. Browne was arrested by the officers, and was subsequently released on $50,000 bail. The terrible affair caused intense excitement in the neighbor- hood of Brighton House, near which it occurred. A large crowd assembled to-night in the vicinity of Browne’s house, which ts guarded by a detach- ment of police, and there is danger from the tem- er of the people that they will take the law into their own hands should Browne be found. It is a most remarkable case and Cage hard to account for, save or the presumption that Browne is not in his right mind, He is eighty-six years of age, one of the oldest citizens, and has been considered hitherto above reproach. He owns propert to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars. SUNSTRUCK IN A GROVE.

Sr. Louis, July 7, 1872. Two days ago a report reached here of the severe flogging of the Rev. Thomas Callahan, near Centre- ville, Reynolds county, Missouri, on the night of June 23, by a band of dis- guised men, Yesterday Callahan arrived here, having walked from Centreville to Rolila— 120 mfles—when he took the cars for this city. He made a long statement to United States Marshal Newcomb and the United States Commissioner to the effect that he was CHAPLAIN OF THE FORTY-RIGHTH INFANTRY DURING THE WAR. He went to Reynolds county from Clinton, Iowa, about a year ago, being a strong republican in politics, His troubles first originated in politics, but the whipping grew out of the fact that last No- vember the Court House of Reynolds county was burned, and was again burned in May, destroying all the county records, Incendiarism was sus- pected, and Marion Johnson was indicted as the in- cendtary, On the 2ist of June Callahan published @ letter in the Lvanton Enterprise exonerating John- son. He knew who did burn the Court House, but gave no names. On the night of June 23, while he ‘was watching his sick wife, SEVEN MEN WITH BLACKENED FACES entered his house, dragged his wife from bed, plun- dered the house, bound and took him half a mile a , and, after attempting to make him tell who set fre to the Court House, gave him about seventy- five lashes on the bare back with hickofy switches, They then ordered him to leave the county in ten days on penalty of death, Callahan farther stated that there is A CORRUPT COURT HOUSH RING in Reynolds county, against whom he was strongly opposed, and who were interested in the destruc- Uon of the county records to cover up their frauds in land titles. Not one man in §fty, he says, knows anything avout his title. Callahan pames the fol- lowing persons who are supposed to have been ENGAGED IN WHIPPING HIM. J. H. George, Sheriif of Reynolds county; A. J. Banks, Clerk of the Circuit ‘and County Court; A. M. Banks, son of the County Clerk; Napoléon George, brother of the Sheriff, and two others, whom he did not fully recognize. United States Commissioner Eaton issued warrants for. these men, and United States Marshal Newcomb sent deputies to Reynolds county to arrest and bring them to St. Louis. Callahan’s back still shows the etfects of the whipping. UTAH. + Sar LAKE Orty, July 6, 1872.

The Fight of the Straight-Outs and the No-Nominationists, THE BIG-ENDIANS AND LITTLE-ENDIANS, Pennsylvania Sulky and To Be Coaxed with a Chairmanship, v A HUGE KU KLUX STORY. The Position of John W. Forney on Greeley and One Term. Baurimore, July 7, 1872, Each of the evening trains from the West and South brought large additions to the crowd-already gathered here to attend the National Democratic Convention, which begins its sittings on Tuesday, and at least FIVE THOUSAND STRANGERS ‘The great body of the delegates are now upon the ground, discussing the prospects of the coming Con- vention, The unanimity with which the Cincin- nati platform and nominees are unconditionally accepted by the various felegations relieves the coming Convention of much of interest that usually attaches to gatherings of this kind, and furnishes no capital for speculation as to the final result, It is A FOREGONE CONCLUSION that Greeley will be nominated upon the first bal- lot, although it is evident that there will be some little opposition unless those who pull the wires can quiet it, which they will undoubtedly do. As usual, &@ portion of the Pennsylvania delegation heads whatever of disaffection tnere ts in opposi- tion to Mr, Greeley, and they propose to gather from the other delegations whatever strength they can and then endeavor to get up a controversy upon the . QUESTION OF NOMINATING OR ENDORSING the Cincinnati nominees, When this discussion has caused considerable feeling they propose to ask for acallof the States for a nomination of candidates and then nominate Judge Thompson, of Pennsylva- nia, in opposition to Mr. Greeley, tn the hope of preventing his nomination upon the first ballot, which has all along been expected and will undoubt- edly be done, They declare that if they can prevent Greeley’s nomination on the first ballot they can beat him and SECURE A STRAIGHT OUT NOMINATION. The delegates that favor this scheme are very few, not more, perhaps, than twenty in number, and the best posted men in the party say that it never will be attempted when the Convention meets, as the nomination of Mr. Greeley will be so positively assured, The meeting called here on to-morrow by the Flanders-Van Allen party, tomake @ regular democratic nomination, and for whom the Maryland Institute has been engaged, does not as yet show any strength, only two men having as yet putin an appearance. One of those ts from Indiana and the other from Illinois, and are not men of prominence, They have been here for two days looking after Blanton Duncan and the other leaders, and have been assisted in their unsuc, cessful search by not less than a dozen newspaper men who have been anxious to relieve the en- thusiastic monotony tor Greeley by an item from this ELEMENT THAT OPPOSES HIM. The only question that is now under discussion of real importance is whether the Convention shall endorse the Cincinnati nominees or nominate them regularly, and this question may prove an ‘ugly one to dispose of. The element that approves of an A new theatre is to be built In Rome, which ts to serve as a model theatre and as a school for the improvement of the Italian drama, Herr Schneegaus’s comedy, entitled, “Dr. warts,” has beon accepted by the the new Stadt Theater of Vienna, In Berlin, at the Victoria Theatre, a five act play, entitied “Ein Held der Feder,” has been moderately successful, At the National Theatre, Herr Leopold Gruber’s play, ‘Der Mcineidbauer,” has been most favorably received. A drama, entitled “Strangers Yet,” announced as being founded by Mr. Oswald Allan, upon a_ ballad of Claribel, has been given at the Grecian. It is a commonplace record of murder, false accusations, and other like matters consecrated to melodrama. Among the novelties produced at the Berlin Stadt Theater, a one-act comedy, ‘Eine Stunde Kaiser von Oesterreich,” by A. Oppenheim, in which the emancipation of Austria from the rule of the Jesuits in the time of the Empress Marla Theresa is treated, has been successful. At the annual meeting of the Parisian Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques, under the presidency of M. Alexandre Dumas, new members of committee were elected in the persons of MM. August Maquet, Ludovic Halévy, Edmond Gondinet and Paul Feval.

A London paper says:—‘Mile. Mehlig, whose ad- mirable pianoforte playing some seasons ago, in London, was much admired, has quitted the States for California, Where she is creating a furore and making a fortune, England is no longer the Eldo- rado of musiclans—America and Russia beat John Bull out of the field in terms paid to singers and pianists.”” M. Scheeleher, while he was a refugee in London, roduced “The Life of Handel,” having acquired several valuable MSS, of the composer of the “Mes- siah.”’ He has now presented these scores to the Library of the Conservatoire de Musique, This im- portant collection, we have reason to belleve, might Bnve been acquired at one period for the British Museum. . 2 A oS eas The Paris Cour d'Appel has conferred the pro- rietary right of the heirs of Clementt to his piano- forte work, “Gradus ad Parnassum,” on the ground that the author was a French subject when he married in 1811, and that the Droits d’ Auteur re- mained vested in his heirs up to 1844, twenty years aiter the death of his widow.

BAutimore, Md., July 7, 1872. The large hall of the Maryland Institute has been engaged for the meeting called by the circular is- sued from New York, dated June 26, and signed “Joseph R. Flanders, Chairman,” and “John J. Van Alleu, Secretary,” This circular invites all democrats in every part of the Unton opposed to the nomination of Horace Greele at Baltiinore, and who will not support him it nominated, to attend at Baltimore on Monday, July 8, to confer and take such action as may be deemed advisable.

Mr. Van Allen, who signed the circular as secretary, and who is from Schuyler county, Ne Y., is here, and says that all the States will be represented in their preliminary meeting to-mor- row. POLITIOS AT THE SFRINGS. The Straight-Out Clique of Bourbons. GREENBRIER, Wittre SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va., } July 7) 1872, Parties in New York have written invitations to prominent Southerners, urging them to meet im Baltimore to-morrow morning for the purpose of nominating a straight out democratic ticket, and setting forth that thelr pres- ence in Baltimore will greatly benefit and ad- vance the movement. Among those who have received invitations are Governor Letcher, General Henry A. Wise, Mr. James Lyons, Colonel John 3 Mosby, of Virginia; General Robert Toombs, Alex- ander H. Stephens, General Joseph E. Johnston and others of like note in the South, Governor Letcher declines to attend and repudiates the movement. ‘The cars are crowded daily with visitors to vart- ous Virginia springs. About three hundred are herealready, PHILADELPHIA TO BALTIMORE. PHILADELPHA, Pa., July 7, 1872, A number of prominent democratic polticians left this evening for Baltimore. They will be followed to-morrow by the Americus, Young Men’s and Keystone clubs, cach one hundred stroag. or hn to that of the element that first put him in nomination, and this argument is bolstered by the operations of Mr. Greeley’s friends here, who are liberal republicans, to the following effect:—That a regular nomivation of Mr. Greeley here ts essential to success, It is also asserted that there are several gentlemen here who speak authoritatively of Mr. Greeley’s personal preferences, and who declare for anomination, There is no room for a doubt that at least nine-tenths of all the people here, both as delegates and spectators, are in favor of a nomina- tion rather than endorsement. This even- ing there is a movement on foot to concill- ate the difficulty in Pennsylvania by giving them tne permanent Presidént, which promises to prove successful. General George W. Cass, chair- man of that delegation, is spoken of as the man for that position, and several new names are men- tioned for the temporary chairmanship, but this will ii0 doubt be given to Jeiferson Randolph or John B, | Baldwin, of Virginia. General MeMahion will prob: ably fll the place of some absentees upon the New York delegation, FORNEY'S ATTITUDR. Perhaps No name is more frequently mentioned In revival of the democratic spirit in association with the Union than that of John W. Forney, of Philadelphia, Amidst all of Forney’s aberrations he has always preserved the respect and ood = will of such leading democrats as ‘ash McLane, Pierre Soule, John 0. Breck- inridge and others, and*it is generally believed that the policy of his own private utteraneos indicate a disposition to join the nationalized demo- cratic party again. Forney has besides a weakness for the editorial profession and considers that his per formances in other flelds have been, on the whole, f small account Les ey to his steady influence and profit in the publication of journais of informa- tion and news. hy these he made the Washington Chronicle @ newspaper which was very profitabie, and when tt came to be apolitical organ, it had already seen its best days. The Philadeiptila Press is @ fay more successful paper at present, while ; ENOUNCING THE HARTRANVT TICKET than when it was inthe party bosom petting in- sufiicient food there, Articles in the Washington Chronicle, and which have been so much quoted over the country as committing Colonel Forney to the one-term policy in the case of the executive, are not believed to be his own composition, Though he isin agreement with that doctrine they are guid to have been written by a Baltimorian, Hon. J. J. Stewart, who has for several years been one of the strongest and most thinking writers in the Mid- dle States. Somebody recently took pains to run through the files of the cnron icle, and found four | articles on the one-term principle published during the impeachment trial and just betore President Grant's nomination, Two of these articles were published, even APTER GRANT'S NOMINATION, showing that Forney was in no particular distress about committing his journal at that early date ainst the two term business. One of those arti- cles was quoted PY Charles Sumner in a ver marked portion of his great diatribe. In that artl- cle G. Mason, of Virginia, was quoted as well as Governor Randolph and M. Van Bur n, and also the great French publicist, De Tocqueville. These articles, the emanations of a private mind, have, curiously enough, found their way inte genera ture, and are as ges wen QUOTED IN THE PRESENT PERIOD as Frank Blair's Broadhead letters or General Taylor's Addresy to the World and the rest of man- kind, So it is fully proven that a private person without influence in a democratic country, oud the: one-term agitation will probably result either during the pending contest 1 at some later time in abolition of election | of any President by those tnstrumentalities which he had ehaneed to get ession of in his first ‘A good deal of Interesting matter is ob- taineat herve from the Pennsylvania delegation, mat- ter which will certainly keép the country reflectin du'sing the rest of the canvass.
