rill Apsembiy bill No. 8—the people's. bill— | how. will pass the Senate? That is a question more ‘momentous for the Senators themselves just now than for the people, if these legislators sunderstand the popular temper. . Many of the members in both houses who the interests of their State and sur- rendered their flag to the Pennsylvanian in- ‘vader even before a shot was fired have already ‘been called to account by their outraged and t constituencies, The mass meoting vat Elizabeth on Thursday night was a signifi- -eant protest ; but in the meeting of the people “of Bergen county, at Hackensack, on Saturday night, the effervescence of popular indignation could not be bettor illustrated. Both the Sen- ator and the two Assemblymen from that county joined the Scott forces and de- sclared war against the constituencies that velevated them to power. The “people of Middlesex county are up in arms against ‘their Senator, who also voted with Tom ‘Scott, contrary to the express instruction of his constituency, and a committee of nearly vone hundred citizens of New Brunswick went -to Trenton last Wednesday night to demand ‘his resignation. - The so-called representative concealed himself, however, and thus escaped ‘what would have proved a most unpleasant interview. The Speaker of the House, who represents the same county, achieved a great ‘moral victory over himself when he announced sthat, although he might have interests at stake -which would prompt him to support tho Penn- *bylvania Railroad Company, still he was there to represent, not himself, but his constituency. | Saying this he recorded his emphatic protest ron behalf of the people against Tom Scott's Aggression. Jersey City, that unfortunate, plundered, ‘betrayed municipality, is yet tobe heard from. *Of the seven members representing it in the Legislature four took their stand with the monopoly. Tom Scott is speculating ex- ytensively in property in Jersey City, jand well he may, for the property so ‘aequired is not liable to local taxation. The ‘buyer has an advantage never enjoyed by the seller. Tho legislative delegation of Hudson county went to Philadelphia two weeks ago to have an interview with Mr. Scott in reference to this matter, and they asked in effect for his ygracious permission to allow the passage of a law subjecting the property of railroad com- ‘panies to the same burdens of taxation as the property of any other company or individual. -Mark the extraordinary anomaly. It was as- ‘sumed beforehand that Tom Scott, the heir of Camden and Amboy, had the Legislature of a State to which he did not belong in his pocket, gan vag . Ohe Sill is expected to come up in the Senate ‘this evening, and the air is full of rumors and -whispers. Had the President voted in the ‘Senate last Monday the vote would have stood Bleven for Tom Scott to ten for the people. The race isa close one. ‘The wealth of Eng- Jand for.a minute of time” was the dying ex- wlamation of one of England’s sovereigns. “Twenty thousand dollars for one vote’’ was ithe startling rumor whispored into the ear of our Trenton correspondent a few days ago. This is, indecd, a grave crisis in the history of iNew Jersey. Tom Scott lost the Assembly and he gained the Senate. Can ho retain his hold? ater Religion Under the Hammer, A recent number of the Pall Mull Gazette wontains an announcement which in this scountry would be deemed more strange than the most mysterious notices to be found in the Heranp’s column of personal ad- vertisements. It gives publicity to the fact ‘that an auctioneer is soon to descant glibly ‘pon the value of a church living, on whose sale he is to earn a commission—to cry, “Going, going, gone!” over the authorized soure of souls for the parish of Falmouth. En- larging upon the excellencies of this particu- ar living as a desirable investment, ‘after the smanner of a real estate advcrtisement, the paragraph gives several interesting specifica- ‘tions. Seventy-seven years have been gra- ‘ciously vouchsafed to the venerable divine ‘who now holds the preferment. No allusion is made to the obvious truth that his sands of life must soon run out and the purchaser hhave but ‘a short time to wait before an inter- ament beneath the chancel will make a vacancy in the pulpit; that advantage is left as sure of appreciation by the investor. Eight thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars is stated as Jast year’sincome of the rectory, and we learn that the rewards of pastoral fidelity are rapidly increasing by the combination of stat- vutelawand commercial growth. Certain acts of Parliament in the reign of virtuous Charles IL, still in force, endow this rectory with a rate of sixteon pence in the pound upon the property of tho town, whose rapid growth thus swells the receipts of the pastor. Besides ‘this general rate, the living is entitled to two shillings and sixpence for every foreign vessel and two shillings for every coaster entering * Falmouth port, from which source alone the yearly revenue is more than twenty-five hun- -dred dollars, and the number of arrivals is increasing nearly ten per cent per annum. Hore is a rare chance for Christian piety and -worldly prudence to travel the same road with ‘a straight track and a down grade most favor- able for smooth and easy running. ‘Who bids for the Falmouth living?” The almost ‘octogenarian incumbent will soon be switched ‘off, and the rapid and steady progress of manufactures and commerce insures ample sterling rewards to the shepherd of souls who ‘cares for the Falmouth flock, ‘How much do [hear for this most remunerative rectory?” ‘Such pictures of the natural conditions flowing from the establishment of a State Church will not be apt to induce in democratic America a disposition to exchange that system for our own plan of allowing full liberty to every man to attend and support the church of his choice and believe the creed his conscience approves. Bew Ships-of-War—Where Navy is Most Needed. ‘We have advocated an increase of our naval vessels from ten to twenty sloops-of-war of not less than two thousand tons each, but Congress, after considerable palaver and the asual fit of economy that seizes it whenever this important branch of the public service needs strengthening, vouchsafed to sanction the construction of eight steam sloops-of-war. [t is said they are to have compound engines of o type that will be wonderfully economical. We await their construction to see what a sur- prise the government has in store for us, but shall not fail to look critically at the work. But while these vossels are being constructed Our the the foreign stations be sup- plied? What vessels have wo ready to send? Our squadrons abroad sppear to ‘be reduced, and yet we do not hear of vessels being sent out to fill up the gap. The European squadron particularly should be kept strong, in view of the events of the day and of complications that may arise in Europe. We have just greeted the Republic in Spain, and itis not improbable that revolu- tions may occur in Portugal and Italy. We should have at least a dozen men-of-war in the ports of these countries. We call upon the President to see that orders be given to strengthen the European squadron instead of having it weakened. After the crisis shall have passed in that part of the world, and the services of a large fleet be not so necessary, then some of the vessels might be scattered among other squadrons and in other localities. The most important servico now is in Euro- pean waters. Ante-Lenten Sermons. The sharp, crispy air of yesterday and the pleasant condition of the streets contrasted strongly with these things on the previous Sabbath, and drew to the sanctuaries of God larger congregations than usual. The topics presented to them from the pulpits are sufficiently varied to suit the several classes of minds who heard them yesterday and who may read them to-day in the Henaup. We hear, oft and again, a lamentation among “orthodox”’ people that there is not enough of doctrinal preaching in the pulpits and that the word ‘‘thell’’ has become almost obsolete, because belicf in the existence of the place or state which it denotes is dying or has died out. But our orthodox friends need only turn to the pulpits of some of our Universalist friends to gauge the vitality of faith in the doctrine of an eternal punishment among them- selves, Universalist theologians are not much given to setting up men of straw that they may knock them down again. So long, there- fore, as they deem it necessary again and again, by labored arguments and smoothly uttered sentimentalities, to deny this doctrine, the evangelicals need not be uneasy. <A doc- trine that has been knocked down s0 often and gots up again just as often is not quite dead. Hence Mr. Weiss set himself the task yesterday of overthrowing this ugly and, to sinners, uncomfortable hereafter state. Until Mr. Weiss or some other philosopher can fur- nish us a better substitute fora prison house for wicked spirits the faith of mankind will insist on locking them in hell, whero the Bible shuts them up. i But if there be no hell to shun and no heaven to gain; if the fear of hell is nothing more than a police force to keep mankind par- tially decent and orderly in this life, as sug- gested by Mr. Weiss, then there is neither point nor ‘purpose in the sermon of Rev. John Parker to backsliding, lukewarm and halting Christians. If there is no land of promise beyond the dark valley and the silent river we might as well stop at Haran and enjoy the good of this life with Terah as to push on through woods .and wilds, o’er hill and dale, amid storms and trials, to Canaan, only to find ourselves dwelling in tents with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. But there is a land ahead, and the lights, glong its 3 Bho are sometimes seen on this side by mortal eyes, which by faith piercé the darkness and the mystery, and look, as did the Pstiarchs end prophets, to- ward that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ry No one will deny that God is a living Father, and no thoughtful person can rend Mr. Hepworth’s discourse to-day and not be convinced that God’s infinite care is over us all; that the little worlds which live and move in a drop of water are watched over by the same eye that in its anxiety for our wel- faro never slumbers nor sleeps. It is one of the most beautiful as well as the most peculiar characteristics of our Father in heaven that the infinitely small share His love and goodness as well as the great. Though millions of leaves may fall, the fall of the sparrow or of the leaf passes not unnoticed by Him. Physical blindness is certainly a bad thing, but spiritual blindutes is infinitely worse. Of the former, Bartimeus, mentioned by the Evan- gelists, is an oft-used ‘illustration; of the latter, the illustrations are around us on every hand. But cures can be effected in both cases of blindness if only the proper means are used and the right conditions observed. If the spiritually blind reader would know what these conditions are and what the appliances to restore goul-sight let him peruse Dr. Chapin’s discoursé and there learn from the example of Bartimeus that ‘‘none but Jesus can do helpless sinners good.” The value of the Gospel was aptly presented by Dr. McLean, of Manitoba, who appealed to the congregation of Trinity chapel to aid him in founding missions and building churches for white settlers and Indians in that far-off territory on our Northern border. The Doctor presented only the spiritual value of the Gospel to his hearers, though he might also very effectively have presented its material aspect, The necessity for more churches in the lower wards of our city, and especially Metho- dist churches, was set forth last night in the addresses of Revs. Barnbardt and Steele, at the meeting of the City Church Extension Society. This want must be readily felt and recognized by every right-thinking person in the community, and the policy of preaching the Gospel to the rich and not to the poor ought to be reversed at once. It is false in principle and injurious to morality in results, Dr. Clarke must be a man of extraordinary energy and faith. A few months ago he started a Presbyterian society and church on Tompkins avenue, Brooklyn, and yesterday, after showing his people, in a practical, com- mon sense way, the position of Christianity in the world and the duty of the Church as lega- tee of the promises and receiver of the oracles of God to teach the same to the world, his congregation subscribed about thirty thousand dollars to build » church edifice, the better to enable him to teach the truth as he finds it in those oracles. It becomes the more necessary for the Church to teach the highest truths since, ns the Doctor affirmed, “It is safe to say that infidelity has contributed nothing to science.” How could it? It has nothing to contribute. It is hard set to find reasonable standing room for itself. And there are many things which scienco cannot teach and which are for man’s greatest good to know. It cannot show us God; it cannot bring Him even as a witness to its own demonstrations, nor can it tell us anything about the future life. It cannot bridge the chasm between us and the nearest world; it cannot answer the query, ‘Ifa man die, shall he live again?’ But the Bible answers these questions because it has access to God who knows andit brings Him as a witness, and be- cause it makes a system which, though invisi- ble to the senses, is yet real to the mind. And it was the labor of Dr. Edward Beecher yes- terday to explain this system and to show the relation of faith to God and to the Bible. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. De Witt ©.

The following special despatches to the Heratp have been received from our corre- spondents in the British and Spanish capi- tals: — Lonpon, Feb. 23, 1873. In the considerations which induced His Majesty King Amadeus to abdicate the throne of Spain the possible declaration of a Spanish Republic was never for a moment contem- plated. The realization of the new form of government was a complete surprise to hin—a veritable coup d'état. CALCULATIONS OF THE CROWNS AND THE CAUSE ; OF THE PEOPLES, Amadeus would not have abdicated had he deemed this con: quenge of his rolinqnish- ment of power in any dogreo probable, inas- much as -two Latin nations—Franco and Spain—having each a republican govern- ment, exercises an enormous influence on the third Latin nation—Italy—and thus en- danger the throne of his father, King Victor Emmanuel. ti A DELICATE AND DANGEROUS GAME WITH THE BOYALISTS CHECKMATED. King Amadeus abdicated under influence of the expectation that he would be recalled to to thesov' ‘gnty and crown of the Spaniards by the Spanish army, with which he sided against the Ministry, and for this, and with this interest in view, he remanded to the line of the frontier of Portugal the artillery officers and all the Spanish commanders who are monarchists or descended from the old royal- ist families. He believed that, as he cast away the throne rather than act with a Ministry which was determingd to humiliate the mili- tary body, the army would pronounce in his favor against these Spanish statesmen, and that he would return to Madrid at the-head of the soldiery and with his hands free from the restraint of constitutional trammels. PATRIOTISM TRIUMPHANT OVER DYNASTIC MA- NQUVRE. The King was completely oheckmated in his calculations by the turn of events. Appar- ently some suspicion of his design was enter- tained in influential quarters, and this induced many members of the Cortes, men who were not republicans, to vote with the republican party in order to overreach the royal ma- nouvre. HOPE IN EXILE. The ex-King has not even to-day relin- quished the hope of his cause in Spain. or his recall. TEUTON IMPERIALISM BEING FLANKED BY LATIN- BACE DEMOCRACTES. The existence of the Spanish Republic is a source of uneasiness at Court in Berlin. His Majesty Emperor William of Germany now regrets the false step which he took towards the readjustment of governmental affairs in France. He is sorry that he did not re-estab- lish Napoleon tho Third or some other mon- arch in Paris, and accepted the payment of a slight indemnity, rather than have permitted public events to take the course they did. Emperor William regards the Spanish Re- public as a political and popular consequence of the French Republic, and he is anxious and uneasy because he is uncertain where the European republican movement will stop, The Situation in Madrid Becoming Ex- ceedingly Exciting—Carlism, Reaction= ism and the Middle Classes in Active Motion=Washington’s Memory and Amorican Diplomacy. Manni, Feb. 22, 1873. The popular excitement fg ‘increasing, particularly amongst the workingmen, and there exists an apprehension of barricades in the streets. The red republicans treme measures. The Carlist operations and Bourbonist in- trigues are very active. The Spanish army is dissatisfied. THE MEMORY OF WASHINGTON, THE OPPONENT OF “ZNTANGLING ALLIANCES." Washington's Birthday reception féle at the residence of the United States Minister became a republican demonstration. The reactionaries are extravagant in their hos- tility to the American Minister, whom they regard as being officiously activa in Spanish politics. RECEPTION AND BALL BY THE UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR. General Sickles’ reception was attended by Sefior Castelar, the leading diplomatists and men of letters in the city, and several repre- sentatives of the Spanish nobility. The ro- ception was succeeded by a ball given to the Diplomatic Corps, which, lasted until, four o'clock this morning. The politicians present at the festivities discussed the state of Spain with the Ameri- can Minister, who recommended vigilance, prudence, energy and patriotism. The present, he said, was a critical moment. Ho considered it unwise to allow the people to beararms until they had received a military organization. The people appeared to know their rights; they must as soon as possible learn their duties as citizens, then they would be enabled to contribute to the happiness and prosperity of the country. are urging ex- Cabinet Changes Expected—Canvass of New Ministers. Maven, Feb. 23—P. M. Changes in the Spanish, Ministry are ex- pected. It is probable that Chao will be Min- ister of Finance, Suances Minister of Marine, Abarzuga Minister of Colonies and Shouvillo (Novillas?) Minister of War. PARTY AND PARLIAMENTARY COUNSEL FOR AD- MINISTRATIVE REORGANIZATION. Separate mectings of the republican and radical Deputies in the Assembly were held yesterday, followed by a Council of the Min- istry, to solve the Ministerial crisis. The sub- ject was subsequently considered at a sitting of the Assembly in the evening. It is probable that these deliberations will result in the formation of a Cabinet wholly republican, the resolutions adopted by the Assembly indicating its preference for a homogeneous Ministry.

President Thiers was absent, and the Marquis de Rémusat presided, after stating that M. Thiers was suffering from an attack of catarrh. Mmes. Thiers, Dosne and the Marquise de Rémusat were present.
