The North Carolina Election—The White and Biack Vote at the South. The North Carolina election is close at hand, and there is no reason to suppose that the State, which has been republican ever since its rehabilitation, will change its politi- cal complexion at this time. Indeed, the solid massing of the negro vote on the republican side, and the extraordinary efforts put forth by that party to ensure a thorough canvass of the State, are confidently expected to increase the usual republican majority, which varies from nine thousand to eighteen thousand. Our special correspondence holds out some expectation of a break in the negro phalanx and a democratic victory, but these views are probably taken from the standpoint of democratic meetings and committee rooms. Observing politicians on both sides have become so well satisfied that North Carolina will show no political change in the present State contest that the election has lost its interest, especially as such a result will have no significance in the Presidential problem. The only feature of the canvass now deserving attention is the marked success of the republican stump speakers and carpet-bag politicians in their effort to induce the negroes to vote like so many machines. In this they have been aided by the docility and credulity of the colored race. “We have passed the word for Grant, Massa.”” So respond the negro voters in North Carolina, when urged to consider the claims of Mr. Greeley to their thanks for the prominent part he played in the long struggle which finally led to their enfranchise- ment. It will be the same all over the South. In all estimates of the result of the contest this fall it should be dis- CENTRAL PARK GAEBDEN.—Ganoex Instauwentat Conczzr, i.

A Fortuer Repuction or tar Drst.—The Treasfry Department, in accordance with the policy of Secretary Boutwell, intends to buy in and cancel next month $6,000,000 of bonds and to sell $7,000,000 of gold. Acting Secretary of the Treasury Richardson hasso directed the Assistant Treasurer in this city. Tae Suoorme or Atperman McMuuirs.— ‘The latest reports give reason to hope that the wounds inflicted on the Philadelphia Alder- man will not prove fatal. Although McMullin is the leader of one of the roughest crowds in the Quaker City, he has always been regarded asa good-natured man, with many endearing qualities. Much satisfaction is felt, even by his political opponents, at his escape trom death by the assassin’s bullet. We hope that the recovery of McMullin will in no degree slacken the pursuit of his would-be assassin. The interests of the community demand that men like Marra shall be dealt with in a vigor- ous and uncompromising manner. It reflects little credit on the police of Philadelphia that ‘@ man so well known as Marra should be able to escape from justice, and we hope that renewed efforts will be made to bring the would-be assassin to justice. Nattowat Rerorm anp Proaress iy Javan.— ‘The Mikado of Japan has set out from Jeddo | on a visit to Kioto. He is attended by eight vessels-of-war, and will extend his tour to the southern portions of the empire. He will be absent from the seat of supreme government forty days. Japanese history makes no men- tion of a Mikado having ever before embarked on such 4 journcy, and great good will, it is thought, result from the andertaking. We are rejoiced to chronicle the event at such a happy moment in the current of the world’s civilization; when Africa is being laid open to Christianized humanity by Anglo-American tenacity, pluck and enterprise, and will, we doubt not, soon send forth her children to meet the Asiatics half way, and, mayhap, to “inquire even of the Europeans as of old, ‘Gods! where's the worth that sets this peo- np thy own Numidia’s tawny sons?” tinctly borne in mind that President Grant will receive the solid vote of the colored men, Though the blacks are no longer chattels, bought and sold on the auc- tion block, they are still slaves to igno- rance and to their devotion to a blue uniform with yellow buttons. During the late war they won asa race high praise for abstaining from rapine and violence against the families of their old masters, and proved themselves an amiable race. They feel profoundly grateful for the boon of personal freedom which they believe General Grant’s sword won for them; and this, with their unfortunate ignorance, has made them the willing tools of the carpet-bag politicians by whom the South is now governed. They will vote in a mass, as they are directed to do, not as thinking individuals. No efforts of the opposition will avail to break this colored unanimity. It is founded on @ credulous ignorance which can be pierced during this canvass by no ray of political in- telligence—an ignorance which will require years, perhaps decades, to overcome. A Moral slavery follows far in the rear of legal bondage. America forty years ago was wholly enslaved. We had worn out our British rulers after the long war of our Revolution, under the inspiration of vexatious taxation resisted, with Mr. Jefferson’s affirmation that men are born free and equal; we had had, in the War of 1812, a drawn fight with the mother coun- try, and our Fourth of July orators pro- claimed that we were free. Yet were we slaves—bond slaves of party, ruled by the wire- pullers of the Albany Regency, the Richmond Clique, General Jackson’s Kitchen Cabinet, the Blair family, and other combinations of polit- ical intriguers. Only during the last few years has this political slavery melted before the wonderful spread, of intelligence. Independ- ent newspapers, aided by the magnetic tele- graph, flashing news from the uttermost parts of the earth with lightning rapidity, and the improved means of commu- nication by steam power, have been the emancipating forces that dissolved the shackles with which party bound our people. To cheap journalism we owe the fact that now each white voter takes his favorite papers, criticises their editorial utterances, and votes intelligently and freely for those candidates he judges most likely to represent his own convictions of right and policy. Party slavery is now a thing of the past. Through all the Northern States no man blindly obeys the behests of party, call it republican or demo- cratic, liberal or radical; locate its headquar- ters in Washington, New York, Cincinnati, Philadelphia or Baltimore. But in the States south of the Potomac, under the baneful in- fluence of th gorrupt_ coterje which lives on the unclean drippings of political power, Pres- ident Grant is allowing his Cabinet and office- holders to combine the solid voting negro power with the persuasiveness of federal bayonets to secure his re-election. Thus would he and the party into whose hands he has surren- dered himself place the white population of the late Confederate States under the ignorant sway of their late slaves. For many years the republican party labored to effect emancipa- tion. Now, when the lash and the manacle have lost their use, that same party secks to place a chivalrous and cultivated race of white Americans under the unbridled rule of the blacks and mongrels who until lately wore servile chains, and ao set of thieving carpet-baggers who pander to them. Was there ever a more monstrous proposition? Such a position is utterly unworthy the Chief Magistrate of this great nation, It is a shame- ful degradation for the able General who, after years of almost hopeless contest against rebellion, at last gave victory to our arms and secured at once freedom to the African slaves and _ integrity to our national jurisdiction. General Grant, | as noble and generous in victory as he was | persistent and invincible in combat, won the admiration of all Americans. Lee's soldiers, | whom he dismissed on their parole, honored | him only less than our own heroic defenders | | whom he had led to conquer the foes of nationality. His patriotic utterance, ‘Let us | have peace,’ met a response in every breast. In that he followed the dictates of a sound | judgment and a true heart. Unfortunately for | him and the country bis natural modesty has | allowed him to let the practical control of the administration drift into the hands of the party hacks whose only reliance for that power which they seek with greedy avidity is in the impure channels of party manipulation. They have ran the governmental craft j into dangerous whirlpools and among threatening rocks. On all sides, from their meddling, dishonest mismanagement, stand imminent perils to the ship of state. Our foreign relations are no way satisfactory; t while our Mexican and Indian frontiers are at the mercy of lawless bandits and inhuman savages, and require the protection of that military which is employed in the Southern States to menace our own white citizens. ‘The republican party should bear it in mind that the war of the rebellion is over. No armed rebels mock the majesty of federal authority in North Carolina; no hostile artillery thun- ders against our forts in Charleston harbor; no gray-coated sharpshooter draws a bead on the blue uniform by the waters of the Missis- sippi. General Grant’s victories changed all that. We are now all loyal citizens. Those only who would cherish the resentments of the war are public enemies. Let the President assume the command of the government as of old he commanded the army. Let him, by the exercise of executive power, remove the troops which hold white citizens of Southern States under the control of their late slaves, withdraw his confidence from the carpet-bag thieves, who threaten voters with arrest and imprisonment if they dare speak their sentiments, and give us a free and fair election in every State in the Union. He was chosen by the loyal people. Let him be President of the people and put the politicians to flight. He should not sluf his name with the imputation of an election which shall copy the piébiscite of Louis Napoleon. He can afford even to be defeated in this contest. He cannot afford to succeed by even an appearance of intimidation. Let him emancipate himself from the dema- gognes, free the white men from the threat of being enslaved by the ignorant blacks, and he will stand at the head of a strong combination of supporters whose confidence he has fairly won, Then to be beaten would be no dis- grace. To be elected by military force and political power would reflect no glory upon the victor of Appomattox. To assist the col- ored men of the South in oppressing their old masters would add no lustre to the conquest of the Confederacy. Mr. Stanley’s Reception in Paris. Mr. Stanley, the leader of the Hzraxp Liv- ingstone expedition, has been received with much enthusiasm in Paris, and the interesting information he brings from the scenes of his adventures is sought with avidity by the newspapers and publishers on the other side of the Atlantic. The people of England and France appreciate the valuable services rendered by the expedition, and are anxious to express their admiration of the energy and courage which made it a success. No jealousy or heartburning attaches to the enterprise. The'French ex- plorers in Africa proved their devotion and fearlessness years ago. The names of Livingstone and Baker, as yell as of those who have preceded them in their work of discovery, attest the steadfast- ness and pluck characteristic of the British people. The achievements of the Hzrap ex- pedition are but the reflection of these quali- ties enjoyed in common by Americans and Europeans. If Mr. Stanley dashed at the task before him with more directness and despatch than is usual with our transatlantic friends, if he pressed forward on his unknown path without pausing to look behind him, he only displayed in his energy the characteristic temperament of an American. The feature of the Henatp expedition, prob- ably the most singular in the eyes of Europe- ans, is its connection with the American press and the evidence it affords of the wide range of journalistic enterprise in the United States. This no doubt adds to the interest felt by the French and English papers in the news brought by Mr. Stanley. The satisfaction of hearing of the safety of Dr. Livingstone is of itself suffi- cient to explain the warm greeting extended to those who have been instrumental in re- lieving his wants and bringing him once more into intercourse with the civilized world. But, apart from this, there is no doubt a charm to the European mind in the novelty of the means by which the gratify- ing result has been accomplished, and the hearty congratulations that have been extended toall concerned in the undertaking reflect credit upon the European press. ‘ The Alabama Correspondence and the Geneva Arbitration Tribunal. In the Heraup of yesterday we printed two important despatches relative to the Ala- bama affair and the work of the Geneva Tri- bunal. The despatches had passed between the two governments prior to the meeting of the Court of Arbitration. The first despatch, marked No. 36, is from Earl Granville to Sir E. Thornton, and is dated May 13, 1872. This despatch, it appears, was published in a sup- plement to the London Gazette, May 17. The other despatch, marked No. 57, is from Secre- tory Fish to General Schenck, and is dated June 3, 1872. It is impossible, on reading these despatches, not to feel how weak is Secretary Fish in the hands of Earl Granville. We always feel that Mr. Fish has an excellent case in hand ; but it is apparent all through this correspondence that with so astute a diplomat as Lord Gran- Ville as an opponent it is not possible for him to win, Mr. Fish is not a great statesman; far less is hea great diplomatist. In dealing with this question of the Alabama claims, Mr. Fish has all through seemed to us like a schoolboy commencing some new course of study. Everything was strange to him. Atno moment did he feel at ease. At no stage of the negotiations was he perfectly at home. How different with tho British statesman. Never disconcerted, always at his ease, he seemed at all times to be dealing with a familiar subject. The Washington Treaty, unless we greatly mistake, will mark in history nota triumph of justice, but a triumph of British diplomacy. It now begins to appear, as the Geneva Tribunal proceeds with its work, that the damages which will be awarded will fall far short of the once high expectations of our people. On tho part of our merchants and shipowners and others on whom the losses directly fell, there is certain to be great dis- appointment when the damages are awarded. The entire American public will feel pained by the failure of our case; and, unless we greatly mistake, the administration will be severely blamed. It is not at all impossible that when the Geneva Court of Arbitration has finished its work bad feeling betweon the two our finances, with a large debt and onerous taxation, are not altogether reassuring, and at home we seo States under the rule of baxonets. | nations will be revived, and in that case tho Washington Treaty will be curse rather than ® blessina, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT, eee in the afternoon of Wednesday, Jaly 19, 1871, | The College Boat Race. Six crews, chosen and trained with extreme care, came together last week on the Connecti- cut, and rowed arace in many respects the very finest ever seen on American waters. Ever since 1852 Winnipiseogee, Springfield, Worcester and Ingleside have at times seen students from the two best known institutions of learning in this country matching them- selves with each other in friendly strife at the oar, and fast have they improved since that date in their boats and their appointments, their training, skill and speed. Occasionally some other college would take part, but never till recently a successful part, and the opinion ‘was wi that it was idle for any others to try. Nor is it too much to say that, with the exception of 1869, this is the first year the crews in the inter-collegiate contests have really been matched, the winner always here- tofore coming in so well ahead as to throw the others out of the race. Atone time the dis- parity in boats, at another in strength, endur- ance or skill, would account for this, or maybe @ combination of these causes; but fact it was, clearly and unquestionably. This year—thanks, however, to no happy foresight in any one of the contestants—the race has been excitingly, marvellously close. Not until the last mile, or even the last half mile of that hot work, could the oldest oarsman on that river or the shrewdest have singled out the winners. Quietly, modestly, but with fatal certainty, the Amherst men stayed at their stroke, never wavering or doubting, or think- ing it was too slow, and from the rear ranks, overlooked, forgotten, they crept steadily but surely up, line by line, inch by inch, foot by foot, rod by rod, until proud and justly fa- mous Harvard, which had already grandly re- deemed her promise to lead them all, as was her wont, found, despite her most gallant, her best judged, her mightiest efforts—efforts such as the delicious inspiration of hard-fought, well-earned victory can almost alone bring— that these sinewy, tireless strangers were, right before her astounded eyes, com- ing up—overhauling her—now along- side—now actually ahoad—now cleat—and so maintaining and even increasing the lead until the goal is reached! Nothing like this has before been seen in all these twenty years of college racing. Harvard saw Oxford pass her after leading the latter for two whole miles} but Oxford had been rowing that same track for over forty years. Well may Mr. Beecher, the foremost athlete of his day at Amherst— what a communicative bow oarsman he would have made in the agonies at the finish of a hot race!—and every other son of that same insti- tution, rejoice in the orthodox fashion in which their alma mater in these latter days deals out discomfiture and slaughter to these earthly enemies! Never was their dear old gollege so well advertised. |. RP a> But thero was more than this superb sur- prise to prove the truth of our first remark. The day was clear and bright; the course am- ple and in good order. No professionals were allowed on the course. There was no jockeying; there was nofouling. We hear ofno complaints at the arrangements—no ifs and buts. It was a gentleman’s race—fair, clean, conscien- tious work throughout, each man doing the best he knew and each spurred by the pres- ence amd best encouragements of numerous friends and companions. Defeat was taken kSndly, and no man grudged the leaders their splendid victory; and not only was this re- gatta in itself so unusually good a one, but it was even better in the hopes it raises for its successors. Now it seems highly probable that the question twenty years have failed to settle is at an end and the course fairest and best suited to all at last found. If there is plenty of water in that part of the Connecticut it looks as if the Springfield course will soon be- come as well known as the famous one in Eng- land from Putney to Mortlake, over which, by the way, it has many marked advantages. And if the managers of the railroad from Springfield to Hartford have no better motive in view than the filling their company’s purse alone, they would make no mistake in running a train parallel with the racers along the whole race course; for it can all be easily seen from the cars, and here would be facilities for care- ful observation of a race such as men would pay wellfor, and that would be unequalled at ha morale "Ss peepee Again, if the reported figures are correct, but four out of these thirty-six rowers graduate this year, and three of these are from the vic- torious crew, so that the chance of remark- able racing to come was never before so good. The Harvard men, though really beaten the other day by men much older, will have abun- dant time to learn where, in this almost new kind of a course, to save and where to spend their strength, and have already the advantage of the hint Oxford gave aud Amherst endorsed in this respect.» And they will doubtless have at least one good relay ready in case of a brgak in their number late in the day, such as they had this year. The ‘‘Aggies’’ will, if they study the same lesson and can prevail on Josh Ward to give them an ample allowance of sensible food and drink, instead of tying them down to ever- lasting meat and almost no liquid at all, take home word more like that of last year. Bow- doin, if she can chance to find that, on this side the Atlantic, undoubtedly scarce article— a good ‘‘coach’’—will remember better that the thing to do is to be at the head of the river at the finish and not in the early part of the race, and will profit by what she saw last Wednesday. The Yale men, who must be made of admir- able stuff to keep up that motion the other day so long as they did, will have another whole year to see if they cannot at last learn how to row, an art which any really good ‘‘coach’’ can teach any man of ordinary capacity in a month, and not need over an hour each day to do it in either. And Williams can take that strong, well grown, well matched crew of hers, and by plenty of hard leg work this winter up among Dr. Hopkins’ famous hills, and not being stingy with it in the boat next summer, help make Harvard see that if her late conquerors have many of them gone, yet the cups may go, after all, to the western and not the eastern half of the good old Bay State. Altogether, it looks as if there would be o race next summer even better worth going to see than this recent glorious one, and as if we, as the rotund English occasionally do at Mort- lake, might possibly see, after all that long terrific struggle, the winning boat come in but five feet ahead of its rival. One other hint we on the Connecticut River, a few miles above the course already mentioned, the picked crew of the Atalanta Boat Club of this city defeated with ease a crippled, almost demoralized crew from Harvard College. The water was reported to be smooth, the wind light and the weather cool, The winners occupied eighteen minutes and nineteen seconds covering the course. For reasons best known to themselves they saw fit this season to-cross over to England and row a race with a crew there that changed the name of American amateur rowing, which Harvard had forced Englishmen to respect, to a laugh- ing stock and a byword. To-day a crew of college boys, nearly, if not entirely, before un- heard of, have required but sixteen minutes and thirty-two and a half seconds to do an equal distance—nearly two minutes less than those who thus represented us abroad seemed to need. Might it not at least be well enough for Englishmen to bear this. fact in mind? | May be by next year the London, Cambridge or Oxford men may come among us. We hope they will deign to. If they will, we will do @hat wo can to make it pleasant for them. Their own press says we Americans do not know how to row. So while whoever is to meet them here is hard at work, they will have plonty of time to look about. We will, if they like sailing, see to it that they have a turn in the bay; and if a sighing for home comes over them, and they need something to remind them of it, we might take them over and show them ‘the Queen’s Cup.” Schurz in North Caro! Senator Schurz has thrown the influence of his oratory into the North Carolina campaign. His speech at Greensboro was marked by the breadth of view and grasp of thought which we find in his best efforts, although at the time he was almost prostrated from fatigue. The unfortunate speech of Secretary Boutwell furnished the Missourian Senator with the opportunity of making telling points against the administration. His denunciation of the unwise and unpatriotic policy of creating hatred and ill-will betweeh white and colored races, in order to serve partisan pur- poses, will obtain the approval of every right- minded citizen. Boldly announcing his un- alterable attachment to the principles of universal liberty and equality, he charged the republican party with having been false to its high aims. Though at one time the champions of human freedom, the party, with the possession of power, became corrupt, and now looks for- ward to securing a new lease of power rather than advancing the interests of the nation or of humanity. With great force Senator Schurz proceeded to tear the mask of hypocrisy from the faces of the men who, while they were stealing the school fands, made moan against in the all the shonesty in which the worthless carpet-baggers in- dulged, this absorption of the school funds is certainly the most heartless and contempti- ble. It was not enough to render the States in many instances bankrupt; these worthless Northern adventurers sought to prevent the spread of education, that they might plunder the ignorant people the more easily. While the crimes of the carpet-baggers were de- nounced in vigorous language, the evil doings of lawless men on the other side were not passed over in silence. As Mr. Schurz well remarked, in passing through North Carolina he had seen many-vacant places which invited the emigrant to come and make the desert bloom like a garden; but the emigrant would not come while the state of chronic war exists and the laws afford him no security for his person or his property. ‘The same argument may be addressed with equal force to all the Southern States; it touches on a question that deeply interests their future welfare. So long as the strife of parties continues to be embittered by issues that the war has long since settled the current of immigration will continue to flow North and West in an almost unbroken stream. It ought to be clear to the mind of every man that until a perfect amnesty has been granted to the South it will be impossible to re- store the harmony which alone can make the South prosperous. This important fact has been recognized by the leaders of ft] ¢. Libera) republican movement; and the Ripe of the administration, in p) themselves in opposition to the general wigh of the people, are seriously endangering the re-election of President Grant. The policy which the country looks for from the President is one of gener- osity and conciliation. In allowing himself to be swayed from this course, to which his bet- ter nature inclines him, by the intrigues of dishonest politicians, he risks the loss of the support of the vast mass of honest voters who look with suspicion on the political wire-pullers of all factions) No amount of sympathy from office-holders can répisge this unbought support which repre- sents thé real wishes as well as the noblest aspirations of the people. The strength of the liberal republican party dwells in their championship of this sentiment of reconcilia- tion and brotherhood, which at present fills the breast of every man who thinks more of the well-being of the republic and the happi- ness of the people than of his own small, selfish interest. The cry raised against the ex-rebels can have no force in the minds of intelligent men in view of the ac- ceptance by the Sonth of all the issues of the war. As we have repeatedly pointed out, the safety of the colored race de- pends on the restoration of good feeling be- tween them and their white neighbors. What- ever may be the momentary force of the senti- ment which hands white men over to the domination of the colored race, as the passions engendered by the war cool and weaken the natural sympathy of the white race for their fellows will undoubtedly assert itself. Then the colored race of the South may find themselves without protectors or friends. In order to avoid such an undesira- | ble consummation it is necessary to find a so- | lution based on equal rights and justice. We | wish to see the black man enjoy the fullest | freedom under the protection of the laws, but | we insist that the white man, also, shall be placed in the enjoyment of all the rights of citizenship. So faras the friends of the ad- ministration depart from this platform of jus- tice and equal laws they are separating them- selves from the common conscience of the community. If they desire to succeed they must abandon the policy which has deprived them of the support of such men as Senator ‘ from this gallant race and we have done, Kate | Schurz, The great heart of the cquntry beats | ple. The Puritanism of New England must nd ite hard and unforgiving sentiments if we ar to continue a great and united people. The advice tendered to the colored voters of the South by Senator Schurz deserves their earnest attention. It is a folly of the worst sort for a Tce (0 eh eee @ race to the for- ines of one party. So as the ascendant all. goes wil pire cannes change comes, and then the accumulated hate of the triumphant party is visited on the men who voted solid. If the negroes wish their new-found liberties to be placed beyond the reach of attack they must divide their votes according to conviction, and so receive the support of both the great parties in the State. This is their best security against reactionary sentiments, No doubt the eloquence of Senator Schurz will have the effect of impressing this fact on the minds of a large portion of the negro voters of South Carolina. But, however the election may result, such principles as he preaches cannot fail to have a healthy influence on public opinion both at the South and North. We are sick of strife and long for a real, hearty conciliation with our brothers of the South. When that has been accomplished we shall be ‘ in fact a united people, with a grand and assured future. & A Now Polar 1 erage Modern geographical rescarch has, within the last year, received such an impulse that it seems determined to grapple successfully with the problem of the North Pole. Not content with sending a single expedition at a time, it is about to send out nearly a dozen explorers at once and to throw a cordon of exploration around the mysterious pivot of the globe. The accounts which reach us show that all of these > expeditions will go fully equipped and supplied for more than one year, and on attaining high latitudes, this summer and fall, will remain > there to winter, and use such advantages as they thus gain for making early and rapid ad- vnarites next year. . The two most important expeditions are the Swedish, under Professor Nordenskiold, soon to sail, and the Austrian expedition under Payer and Weyprecht, already in the Arctic Ocean, battling with the difficulties of their enterprise. This last moyement is a test of the “thermometric gateway’ theory, along the course of the Gulf Stream, and will be sec- onded by a similar one conducted under the direction of the great Norwegian sailor, Cap- = - tain Mack. Bite Some of these voyagers will advance north. ward from Spitzbergen, some between Spitz- bergen and Nova Zembla, some north from Siberi: id Mr. Pavy, the gallant American explorer, who teft Ban nojgco in the spring, will attempt a coms eemeete of Behring Strait. These different and independent en- terprises will, therefore, be continually con- verging towards the Pole. Whether ‘sidteneful, in reaching the objective point of their re- searches or not, they must contribute immensely to our knowledge of the circumpolar geogra- phy and meteorology, as also of the current system which prevails in the icy ocean. Tho present is an age of great geographical discov- eries, and it would not be surprising if some one of these daring spirits should astound the world by his success, and usher in the long- promised era of knowledge— When we upon the globe's last verge shall go And view the ocean leaning on the sky. “Dolly Varden” Theology. Our budget of sermons is not very extensive to-day, but yet sufficiently so to entitle it to the claim of a ‘‘Dolly Varden’’ gathering. It embraces politics and religion in about equal parts, and not very well mixed, so that our readers will not have much difficulty in sepa- rating the political campaign ‘“‘buncombe” from the theological truth or trash, whichever it may be. For instance, Dr. Newman, ‘Chaplain of the Senate,”’ in Eighteenth street Methodist Episcopal church, while ostensibly expound- ing one of Solomon’s proverbs, in which by im- plication there is the faintest allusion to civil or political life, deemed it important to endorse President Grant and his administration of the | ove: t, gud to denounce the newspaper ~ i reas of the country for its bitter asperities in the pending campaign. He wag, sage con. cede the great power of the press, but he would have it run in his rut. It should be con- ducted on higher and purer motives than it has yet beenyfor only thus shall it come eyen within sight of ita grams aan Weare not informed of the steps by wi 3 Doctor descended from his political flight tothe humble level ofa theological discourse ; but presume that after he had soared above social affinities and the millennium, and dissected the characters of Mare Antony, Julius Czsar, Voltaire and Fame, hé was able to come more gracefily than he otherwite gould £6 the doctrine of solf- denial and self-governance taught In his text, And in practical illustration of this doctrine the theatre and the round dance, the ball room and the drama and wine drinking received a due share of pulpit denunciation. Lawyer Stone, a converted infidel, related his Christian experience for the Greene street Methodist church yesterday, and told them how, when Jesus converted him during a revival in that } church under Doctor (now Bishop) Peck, in 1858, his love of tobacco and bitters was * quickly overcome, and he has had no desire to « touch either since that time. Democracy and aristocracy were placed side _' by side yesterday by Mr. 0. E. Grinnell and held up before All Souls’ church, so that his hearers might readily understand the strength of the one and the weakness of the other, and the sources of strength or weakness to each. The strength of democracy lies, accord- ing to this gentleman, in mutual sympa- thy and charity for every citizen and every nation, and its weakness consists in the development of the very opposites of these virtues. The strength of aristocracy is knowledge, history, development and wisdom in its leaders. Its weakness consists in allow- ing cunning to take the place of wisdom and expediency that of policy. Dr. Mandeville, of Harlem, explained and illustrated the doctrine of the unity of Christ and the Father by scenes and incidents in the life of the Saviour, and urged upon his hearers the duty of per- sonally seeking salvation through faith im Jesus. It is religiously refreshing to pass from a political speech toa simple exhorta- tion like this or like that of Rev. Father Kane, in St. Patrick's Cathedral, on the Scrip- ture_characters of {ha Pharigan ad the pub
