“ss ‘best time for e7 . Matters of the a Verything; but were we in sol ae bara sat as tae pestenk ein the Arst. place, the obstacles in reased, an One m: fot to be and I am not ready for sucha tion as you propose. I will wait untill t older and the die out and I have less mptation around me, and then I will attend to the matter, jones will oy ares. from my oe me. roundings. ou ever know a man to ge away from an evil habit by pursuing it? If you now had handcuffs on your soul, you would have hopples added after a while. . Sin, instead of re- jaxing ite hold on your soul, would throw out its grapp! poe upon your immortal nature. If ou could not get away how, how could you expect Oo get away alter a while? Another man post- ned the matter on account of business until he should retire, and in that conviction Mr. Talmage aid it was not more than ONE MAN IN A THOUSAND successful that retired, and he generally went to destruction through dissipation and the tempta- tiens that came upon a man who had nothing to do. If you had so much business now that you could not think about the shings ‘of the soul, could you suppose that anywhere the future there ‘would be a time when your work would be gone and your business would be gone, and you could sit down calmly and deliberately to think about the soul? That time would never come. To-day is also the best time for attending to the things of the soul, because there is so much for you to do. Be maaly in this matter, and now while ALL THE BATTERIES OF HELL are being unlimbered and the great conflict ts be- ing fought between the Chureh of Christ and all that is vile and profligate and abandoned—don’t you feel now like coming when you can be of great service? It seems to me that if the men of the ‘world who have good business qualifications and ‘who bave mental acumen would surrender them- selves to Christ and enlist in this service, that in twenty-five years this whole earth would be re- deemed and there would not be a single temple of superstition remaining or one heart unchanged. * * © Another reason why these things should not be deferred was that they were s0 veautiiul and attractive, If becoming reli- gious were like going into a dark cave or being packed with burdens, like a camel fitted for the desert, he would say put off religion to the last hour. But it was so unspeakably attractive ‘ou could not afford to postpone it a single hour. @ bad learned that everything of an earthly nature is uncertain—life is full of accidents. Why, @ bit snaps and an axle breaks, and the beautiful rive through the Park ends in broken bones and scarred visage and destroyed life. The foot slips OD an orange peel, and the man wastes away with Spinal disease. ‘A brick falls from a hod and dashes out life, Unseen weapons fly through the air like BULLETS aT GETTYSBURG. If there wer? not unseen hands and unseen shields about do you suppose we would have come up to this hour as we have? Yet here we are talking about :to-morrow; I can’t trust it—**To- day, if ye wiil hear His voice ;” I set thisone to-day against five thousand to-morrows. Iam sure that some will hear that voice; but with others it will be different. They will go away unimpressed. Life will take them on its bright and beautiful stream, and they will go on gaily down amid the flashing of the water and the dripping of the oars. Gradu- y, they will get older and the hair will whiten, and the cup will tremble to the lips. Some morn- dng we will be told that they are dead! No Jesus, no cross, no repentance, ‘no pardon—-the whole story told in one short sentence: ‘A lost soul and an undone eternity.” WORSHIP IN WASHINGTON. ‘The Services in the Metropolitan Metho- dist Episcopal Church Yesterday— Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Tiffany on the Laws of Spiritual and Natural Develop- ment, Wasuinoron, D. C., Feb. 16, 1873, Many visitors to the capital are attracted to this ‘beautitul edifice, and the congregation often, as to-day, includes a large crowd of strangers. Some are interested because of their personal relations to the church, since it was built by gifts from al the States; some by the fact that President Grant ‘worships here, and some, perhaps, by the reputa- tion and gifts of the present pastor, the Rev. Dr. ‘Tiffany, who, in the morning service to-day, preached from Galatians vi., 7—‘‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.’ The object of the discourse was to call attention to the identity of the laws which control develop- | ment, both in the natural and in the spiritual life, | the preacher claiming that there was more than analogy—there was direct resemblance and uni- formity. He spoke of the importance of recogniz- ing the general uniformity o/ the operations of na- ture, and indicated how this recognition was the basis of all science as well as of all physical com- fort and commercial prosperity. The laws con- trolling GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT were asserted to be, when stripped of technicali- ties, in effect three: first, that development always occurred under given necessary conditions; sec- | ond, that this development was always limited by | t Kind; and, ‘third, that it was always | controlied in periectness by certain qualities, which were exhibited in becoming itself and not in becoming something elise. Finding himself here in direct antagonism to the physical theory of a modern philosophy, the preacher en- tered upon an examination of the theory, and, with @ skill which indicated familiarity with his theme, | exhibited the relations of the varied orders or | classes of creation, which, he contended, were each separated by @ creative or formative act which | neither in aid of itself could perform, and which | ‘was always the result of adding to the lower | and not developing out of it. Organic matter is | Dot a development out of inorganic, but an addi- | tion to it. Vegetable life is not a development from | er out of mineral existence, but an addition to it. | Animal lite is not a growth out of vegetable life; ner are the classes in either, however similar, de- ‘velopments out of cach other. GOD'S PLAN he declared to be realized when each became its true self, not when it became something else, The laws controlling intellectual growth were claimed as identical with these, a right education making while a defective education would mar tae character. And the moral sensibilitics also grow keen or are biunted by use and manifest tiem- selves in purity or in sin; but the good grow better and the bad grow worse. In the spiriteal liie the law holds good; every tration develops character, but the character | is limited by the kind of aspiration, and the natural | man develops his full sell when he realizes his alien- | ation from God and finds in it a cause for gricf and penitence. This was claimed as the full possibility of perfectness jor mere human nature—sinful and reaching its ultimate possibility in selt- abhorrent consciousness of its own ,/condi- tion. Just here the dividing line be- | tween the natural and the spiritual | life. God comes in with arecreative act, and the | man is “born again,” “recreated,” and has now | @ possibility in a new sphere of being. “Old things | are away; all things have become new.” | This previous condition of penitence was necessary | for succeeding state of grace, but this last | could never, by unvaryiag law, have come {from it. Having thus shown that conversien was no excep- tion to but an illustration of THE LAW OF UNIFORMITY, the practical imterences were made: first, that sowing to the flesh as un ultimate end must re- | sult in corruption, for where a man devotes time | to pleasure and talents to mere acquisition the | grave must end most of that which gratifies in the using, while that which remains undestroyed by dying, a8 memory and conscienve, must embitter, | while he who sows to the Spirit reaps Iife everlast- ing, giving his affections to God, and consecrating | substance and energies to Him. He enters | into sympathy with the strongest elements, laws and forces of the universe. As a second inference it was asserted that, by reason of these laws, God in the I erat would rather recognize our | self-imposed sentence than dictate an original one, and thus the result of life exhibited in character would be a “revelation or declaring of the righteous judgment o1 God,’ and exhibit Him as “no respecter of persons.” Asa third and closing inference the INCONSISTENCY ‘was shown of those who depend here on the uni- formity of natural laws for wealth, bealth and pros- perity, and who complain of the occasional disap} tments which attend our lives, bat who, in order to reach heaven and blesseduess, will | require the reversing on the part oj an unchanging | God of all the laws by which the worlds were made and the universe is administered. The effect on the congregation was very marked | when, in closing, the preacher said, “Be not de- | ceived; God is not mocked," however much you | yourselves may be; for he has planned that “what- soever & man soweth that shall he also reap,” FATAL RAILROAD CASUALTY.

THE GOLD AND STOCK MARKETS. Combination of Speculators for an Advance in the One and a Decline in the Other. The Weakness in Foreign Exchange and Its Effect Upon Gold and the Money Market. SATURDAY’S BANK STATEMENT. The Reserves $1,299,000 Below the Limit Required by Law. WALL Strerr, Bonpay, Feb, 16, 1873. The principal events of the past week in the Wail street markets have been the further advance in gold and the reversal of the speculation at the Stock Exchange from a “bull” to a “bear”? move- ment—both being furthermore traceable to CLIQUE MANIPULATION, at first independently of each other, but latterly more or iess in combination. The speculation for a rise in the gold premium has been of longer duration, and dates back to the early days of the Winter, and has been subjected to innumerable vicissitudes, as such an unpopular speculation always must be, when the public sentiment favors @ return to specie payments, and regards gold gambling as the most reprehensible portion of the more questionable practises of Wall street. Two weeks ago it was threatened with sudden oblitera- tion by THE SYNDICATE negotiation of the three hundred million of five per cents, and the price of gold on the eve of the Syndicate “operation’’ (as they term the transac- tion in Europe, where these matters are so frequent) fell off to 112%. But the shadow of this threatened calamity has passed from over the movement, and in the sunshine of the Syndicate’s partial failure the gold clique have renewed their operations with greater vigor, the price having been advanced on Saturday to 1145;, the highest quotation since last September, Their plans have been checked only by the weakness of the foreign exchanges, a steady decline in which has occurred during the past ten days, notwithstanding the fact that THE BANK OF ENGLAND has been a loser of specie the past two weeks and that the street rate for money in London has been firmer. Weakness in foreign exchange is, how- ever, @ negative rather than a positive influence, A decline in rates serves not to bring gold this way from the other side—unless, as has happened only rarely in our history, they fall to less than the par of exchange—but to prevent gold from going abroad which would otherwise be shipped in settle, ment of the balance of trade. Furthermore, the weaker condition of the market recently has peen due less to a pressure to seli bills legitimately made than to heavy sales of BORROWED STERLING, advanced to speculators against the pledge of stock collaterals. With money in London worth only 34 percent in the open market it is easy to see the temptation to foreign bankers to lend their capital here on terms which net them fully 10 per cent. The active, not to say stringent condition | of the money market the past few weeks, has sent many of the heavy holders of stocks to the agents of London banking houses in search of accomoda- tion of this kind, the granting of which in the form of bills on London has been the chief reason of the heaviness of the foreignexchanges. Indeed, some surprise has been manifested that with over eleven millions of IMPORTS, AND EXPORTS been up to the specie shipping point in face of the abundance of these borrowed bills; but in this cal- culation the fact is lost sight of that, while New York is the entrepot at which two-thirds of all the imports of the country are introduced, the exports therefrom are only about two-fifths of those from all the ports of the United States, which latter proportion is decreasing annually because of the growing trade facilities at every seaport along the coast. The mercantile capital of this city gives | it control of the imports, but year by year the ex- ports are going more freely from the THOUSAND AND ONE great and little seaports along the Atlantic and | the Gulf. The condition of the money market has | been exceedingly active for this season of the | year, and borrowers on call pledging stock col- | Materals have paid as high as per cent per day, | equivalent to 45 per cent per annum, while the | average rate in transactions of this kind has been fully 1-32 per cent, equivalent to nearly 12 per cent per annum. Here, as in the case of the gold market, the relief furnished by borrowed bills of exchange is also NEGATIVE AND NOT POSITIVE, for these bills add not one cent to the currency of the city, and heip only the few parties who borrow them. The continued scarcity of money is a con- sequence of the influences already fully explained im the backwardness of everything this Winter, arising out of the interruption of trade and busi- ness by the exceptional severity of the season, both in its coldness and in its snow storms, As will be seen by the bank statement, which is dis- cussed further on, the banks are losing green- backs, the result of shipments to Chicago and Cin- cinnati, irom which points we have heretofore usually received money at this time of the year. A forecast of this abnormal situation of the money Market started a vigoreus speculation for A FALL IN PRICES at the Stock Exchange, which had been only more or less successful until Saturday revealed the | actual condition of the banks, and discouraged at | last the daily deferred hope ofa relaxation in | mouey. The speculation for a fall in stocks in- cludes the great majority of the professional opera- tors and all or nearly all, except those who, as previously intimated, are borrowing foreign capi- tal to enable them to keep their holdings. The “bearish” designs of the cliques will, it is threat- | ened, be helped by artificial means in rendering | the money market more stringent. It may not be just the tline for buyers to come into the market, but outsiders who now sell speculatively should re- member that the banks, when so low in their re- serves, are most likely at or near the depth of their poverty, and that the chances of future improve- ment and of a reaction are rather in their favor than otherwise. GOVERNMENT BONDS. The government list was lower early im the week upon the further confirmation of a failure on the part of the Syndicate to negotiate the entire | amount of new five per cents, but became firmer | with the advance in gold and eventually strong, | the last prices of Saturday being about the highest of the week, the upward tendency being quite marked and restrained from larger results only by the activity in the money market. Of course, while money is worth so much for use in call loans, 1t 18 not so likely to find investment in securities paying only 5a6 percent.

THY BANK STATEMENT. For the third time in their history and the first at this season of the year, when money usually is abundant at this centre, the banks are below the line of their legal reserve, the deficit being $1,299,000, the reason of which is seen in the bank statement for the past week, showing a loss of nearly five millions in reserve against a decrease of less than six millions in liabilities. The loss in reserve is made up of a nearly equal loss in specie and legal tenders, both of which, furthermore, are falling averages, so that the banks are really poorer than represented in the statement. The decrease of two and a half millions in specte is re- ferable to the heavy payments for customs during the week, even without the suspected locking up of gold by the clique in the Gold Room, The outflow of currency to the West is reflected in the decrease in legal tenders, in which item there 1s quite proba- bly a locking up movement also by ' SPECULATIVE COMBINATIONS whose intentions were detected and revealed tothe public by the HERALD early in the past week. The contraction in loans is about two and a half mill- fons, which is probably a rising average, as the banks began to take in sail only when they discov- ered the sudden inroad on their reserves. The state- ment compares with its predecessor of last week as follows:— Feb, 8. Feb. 15, $291,520,700 16,461,000 Deposits...

Saturpay, Feb. 15—6 P. M. The trade movement was emphatically slow during the whole of last week, and commercial values were to @ great extent nominal. The ex- port movement was retarded by the scarcity of freight room and of vessels of a suitable class, and shipments were light. The Cotton market was .called dull and nominal for lots on the spot, and transactions from day to-day were very light. Breadstuffs were dull and nominal, with a de- clining tendency, and prices settied considerably during the week, though no positive decline was noted at any time. Flour was duil and the market heavy,. but quotations at the close of the week were nominally about the same asatthe beginning. Wheat was very dull all through the week, and, though holders were nominally firm, yet they sold whenever an oppor- | tunity effered at lower prices, so that during the week No. 2 Milwaukee wheat, which was quoted | at $1 72 a Week ago, was sold at $170 and sub- sequently at $1 68 afloat; but only a few loads changed hands during the entire week. Winter wheat was also very quiet and prices were nearly nominal, only smail lots commanding sale. Corn was dull all through the week, but nominal all the while. Oats raled firmer and higher prices obtained. Whiskey declined con- siderably, but business was larger at the decline. The provisions market has ruled firmer, and nearly all products of the hog have advanced in price. | Pork ruled strong, and closed on Saturday ata higher | price and firmer, both for immediate and forward de- liveries. Lard was dull nearly all the week, but there was a decidedly better feeling on Friday and Saturday, when prices were a tride higher than during the previous few days. Petroleum has been dull throughout the past week, yet exhibited no particular change in prices until (o-day, whem the ‘Ket closed somewhat y Naval stores have sold euy well during, the prices nave fluctuated @ little, being thore able in spirits of turpentine, which closed to-day dull and some what easier. vo: The market remained quict, but @em for Fiptions, We have only, to ‘aot wale of io at Baltimore, ex Anens, on private We quote :—Rio—Otdinary . ¢ eos cargoes, Iizc. a 1dMC.; goed cary i ic cargoon, TKe. mabe bags, Wc. m 2c.; do grass mats, Do. m We. ; sing Io, ito. ; Coytoa, @ We. , Maracaiba, ‘lie. @ te; 00: prices fluctuated but little, the market being | $1 24 seller March; No. 3do., } were not essentialiy chang lo Jersey, now, at $1 16 per 100 Lbs.

How the Keno and “Faro” Dens of Louisville Have Boen Closed—The “Game” Up and the “Propriotors” Sell Out, Emi- grate and Become Farmers. roperty N, Fi dtd fu Broes- Louisvinie, Ky., Feb, A, 187%. ‘The raid against the Louisville gamblers, in the compicte and triumphant success attending the etforts of the authorities, has been, perhaps; one of the most remarkabie in the history of the country. Louisville, since beyond the memory of the firat living settler, has Leen a tangled jangie, where the tiger has had his lair unmolested, except by spora- dic and time-serving outbreaks of police morality, In nearly every square in the centrst portion of the city blazing windows amd hospitable doors, guarded only against the intrusion of the bankrupt wretet, and never against onslaught of the authorities, im- vited the passer-by into the alluring recesses \ within, King ‘Paro’ has ruled supreme since the’ ‘city was a city. Gamblers have played important Parts in city politicos; the richer and better class* have never been regarded aa social pariabs—on the * contrary, several of them were scioms of the “tirat:famtlies” of the State and South. The war left many Confederate soldiers stranded, with their fortunes wrecked and ne capacity to gain livelihoods by labor. To this class several larger “proprietora” belonged, These were not looked upon with any extreme disfavor by soctety in general, and asso- ciated @n terms of good sequaintance, if not of in- tmacy, with the large element composed of city oficials, lawyers, merchants, &c., who are not of the strictly religious class, so-called, Indeed, it was more than hinted that part of the eapitatem, ployed in these establishments was furnished by men whose names, of course, they would not have so appear for the world, Moreover, the general prevalence of gambling in ome shape or another in Louisville, as in all Southern cities, contributed to the almost perfect immunity from interference eu- joyed by the professionals, Hardly yet hasthe el@ sentiment passed away that a man-who cannot “raise” @ thousand on “nary par” without fazing is not worthy the name of a brave fellow and Kentucky gentieman. Buti alb this has changed. Where every square’ had its gambling house, great or small, .ini prosper- ous operation three weeks ago, today there 1s not an open establishment in the city—nay, se complete has been the victory of the authorities that there is nota “game” to be had withia the city limits, and yesterday a batch of ten of the leading gamblers sold out their furniture and effects, took passage on the Cincinnati steamer, and have betaken themselves to more co: haunts, The result achieved is astonishing; and, as the means employed to effect this end wore very peculiar, { will detail them at length. HOW IT WAS DONE. As I have said, nearly every new Chtef of Potice, for ten yoars past, has made @ feeble-—perhaps im tentionaily feeble—attempt to break up the gam- bling houses. Perhaps they were closed for two or three nights; perhaps not at all At rate, it was always an understood thing that this quadrennial raid was to be sub- mitted to as a concession to the more moral element of the community, and that by it immunity for four years more was to be:purchased. Aserious tntention of closing the houses perma- nently seems never to have been entertained until the accession of the new Chief of Police in betel last. He occupied the first week of his oficial lit in getting well settled into the groove of his new duties, and then, without previous warning oreves suspicion of his intent, the attack on the tiger waa commenced. And this was the way of it. Raida have been demonstrated to be ineiicacious, The oficers may seize the implements, but they have always been returned after the first fush of the a& fair was over, The Grand Jury might find indict- ments, but they could not find witnesses to testity, But the plan adopted by Cotonel Johnson—the new chief—was both simple and efficacious. He stationed atrusty policeman at the door of every house to which faro, keno or the lesser games were played, with book in hand, with instructions to take down the name of every person who entered or departed and report the same to the Court, to be summoned at the trial of the proprietors, ‘The move was sudden and totally unexpected and crowncd with absolute success. A humber of names were ured betore the alarmed proprietors closed their ames. ‘There Was no gambling in the city that night, or the next, orthe next. The policemen were relieved at intervals of six hours, but neither front nor side nor back door was leit for & moment Then sporadic games were opened at new jions—in the hotels, at newly-hired rooms, &c. ; but one was not opened an hour before LO! THRRE WAS A POLICEMAN aT THE DOOR, the note book in his hand, which was to: the gam- bler as the red volume of tne French Revolution, ‘The vigilance has been so compiete that it is not believed there is an open game of faroor keno played in Louisville to-day, and the familiar faces of the gamblers—proprietors, cappers, “mechanics? and ropers-in alike—have disappeured from the streets, “Othelio’s upation ’s gone.” Three weeks have elapsed, and, as I wrote you above, the last batch of well-known “sportsmen” have cleared out for goo The jargest proprietor in | the city, whose establishment is said to have cleared $80,000 last year, bas bought himseli a farm in the lower part of the State, and is-living om it now—he says—to stay. The rout is.a Waterloo; and it really seems now that this, one of the great- est social evils, has had its deathblow tor a year or two at ieast in Louisville. But Colonel Johnson says that during his administration—which laste three years yet—no game of faro shall be played within the city limits, and he seems to mean what he say ‘rhe HERALD writer interviewed him the other day—the new chiei 1s just now sutfering from @ slight attack of varioloid—as to nis intentions, Colonel Johnson expressed himself as absolutely fixed in the cot he has inaugureted. “I want to be properly understood in this matte,” he said, “[ have no personal enmity against the gambters: but it is my duty to enforces the law, and I intend to doit, The keepers of these houses may as well understand this at once, that they cannot carry on their business in Loutsville if { can help it, and I thunk I can. They may get up a private game now and then, which may escape detection for a day or two, but my arrangements are such that the police wili know about it within forty-eight hours at most after the first card is dealt. They had better go into some other business. One thing is sures they cannot carry on gaming houses. while I noid office. At least, it will not be my, faudx if they do, and the public will be apt to find out. whose taalt it 1s.” And the new chief looks like the man, and hasa war record to show, that he means. what he says. Public opinion has sustained the new move with a striking unanimity. Several sad instances ot the fall of trusted employés or friends.had intensified | the popular sentiment against the means and the cause of their ruin. The city | an cnet joined in the crusade, and altogether there has-been a very clear sweep of the whole business. Meanwhile, hewever, everybody, high and low, play poker, and neither police nor anything but the torce of public opintoa will ever stop that “gontleman’s. game” south et the Ohio River. Colonel Albert S. Johuson came: to Louisville and obtained a position as superintendent of tae street .2st month, after a sharp rivalry for the osition, he was appointed as.Chiet of Police, and fas already signalized his administration By a more remarkable victory, taking all the facts into con- sideration, than was,ever achieved by him while wearing the Confederate gray. He is «quiet, ua- assuming man, littie given to talk or display, bat evidences @ thorough relianee upon himself and — the rectitude of his acts and intentions which promises well for the civil order oi the eity during | the remainder of his term.
