To THY Eyton oF THE HeRALD:— Will you permit me to answer “Semi-Occa- sional’s” letter, published in your last Sunday's issue, in order to put the question he discussed in the proper light. “Semi-Occasional” is wrong in blaming only the innkeeper who declines to re- ceive Jews as guests. Innkeepers, like all other business men or mechanics, are very cosmopolitan in their views; they take anybody's money in the legitimate pursuit of their business, and I have never yet heard of even a bigoted Methodist or Episcopalian who declined to deat with a Catholic Irishtan or with an orthodox Jew, if & chance were offered to make money out of him; nay, even gentlemen of this city and Brooklyn who stand very high among churchmen and ministers do not find it below their dignity or contrary to their religious convictions and social views to deal with Brigham Young’s co-operative establishment in Sait Lake City as long as they can profit by doing so. It is hardly necessary to adduce more conclusive evi- dence for my assertion that all business men are cosmopolites, and 1f ai innkeeper refuses to re- ceive Jews as his guests he does it only because it would not pay him, or, in other words, because he would lose a larger number of other guests if he did, With him it is simply a question of dollars 4nd cents, and we must look in @ different direc, tion in order to get to the root of the evil com- plained of by your correspondent. The trath must be told once, and it may just as well be done now, The native American (non-Catholic) Christian arrogates to himself the right to rule this country, With the exclusion of ,all other creeds and nation- alities. Know-Nothingism is stil existing, and the sidered an intruder, who is good enongh as voting , Cattle, and should be satisfied with the permission ) to live here; but it very often happens that the | Jews are at the same time under tne disadvantage i pebalbe. still hated NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET, ‘Torelgner Who makes this country nis nome 1s con- foreigners of intelligence are not satisfed with the role assigned to them—and among these the Jews are perhaps more prominent than ottiers—and this in political life, We because—well, because we have and shamelully persecuted ior eighteen centuries; besides, there are & great mene who hardly ever come in contact with us. To them the Jew, as portrayed by writers of fiction, is still the model Jew, and Shylocks we all are in wl eyes, in spite of the historical fact that Shaks) reversed the story and that the real Shylock was a Christian gentleman of Venice. , Our history in this country 1s different from that in "Europe. There the people and governments have i; ome to the conviction that we have been perse- uted in an unjustifiable manner, and efforts are ade to right what was wrong. In this country our history is a very brief one, At first we were 80 lew that we attracted hardly any attention, and when we commenced to emigrate in greater numbers we were looked upon with contempt mingled with ty, too insignificant, too poor and too degraded b hated. But in the course of time we suc- ceeded by industry and frugality tn improving our condition, we were enabied to lay by some money, to clothe ourselves better, to give our children a good education, to live in our own houses and to enter in the sti le of life as equals of the Dative American many respects, and as his superiors in regard to morality, sobriety and love for our iamilies, From that time we began tobe bated, It is true centuries of injury, per- secution, bate and contempt have left their traces upon our features, and I admit that our better condition here, as well as in Europe, has made us ostentatious and showy; but are our better quali- ties for naught? Let any honest statistician ascer- tain the number of criminals and paupers in this country; let him tell our Christian brethren that there ‘are in proportion six times as meny Christian murderers, robbers, thieves, drunkard: &c. Will that help the cause? No, it will not, an it is of very little use to rnsh every time in print when, for instance, a stupid reporter wrives—“A Jew was arreste jay because, &c.,”” or “Igaao Abraham, & Poliso Jew, was arrested yesterday because he bought stolen goods irom Washington Hancock.” We are not told whether Mr. Washington Hancock is @ Methodist or a Catholic from the Green Isle, but the fact that lsaac Abrabam is a Polish Jew must be stated, just to make the thing a little more interesting. All our efforts to wipe out what I will calla bad habit will remain fruitiess, and Ican give coreligion- ists only one advice—bring your children up in those principles of morality Which ‘have enabled us to outlive all other races; give them the best education your circumstances permit, and in course Of time the voices of our boys will be heard in the balls of Congressand State Legislatures, in fhe courts of justice, and in politics, as well as on Change. And then we shall force our Christian brethren to acknowledge that we are, to say the least, their equais, and to treat us with that es- teem which is due to our venerawle religion (the foundation of all others), to our past sufferings, and to our energy and trust in final justice which enablea our race to live, and even to prosper. in spite of all persecutions which have been heaped | upon us. : You will now ask, Mr. Editor, how all this is con- nected with the question at issue, and I shall at- tempt to answer. The existence of the spirit of Know-Nothingiam, as depicted in the foregoing pare is an undentable tact. The Germans and rishmen are sufferers by it, as well as the Jews (who are always treated as a nation different from ail others), with the difference that the latter being the smallest in number have to suffer the most, The Americans find it just as objectiona- ble to live where Germans or Irishmen do congre- gate, butin this case they quietly go out of the way, while, in the case of Jews, they require, or at least expect, that tnese will go out of their way, but very oiten they don’t, and then such collisions will occur as stated by your correspondent. These collisions are, of course, caused by the guests of cvuntry hotels, and not by their owners, who simply “obey orders,” if they refuse admittance to Jews; and as we cannot expect that a hotel keeper, who has a large capital invested in his business and a@ family to support, will sacrifice everything for a principle, we must put the biame on those wno are morally responsiole for these outrages. Before the law the hotel keep- ers alone are responsible, and I agree with ‘“Senit- Occasional” that it is high time to bring one of these cases before the United States Court, in order to have a judicial decision which will forever pre- | vent the repetition o! similar infringements upon the rights of members of a certain religious de- nomination. In conclusion 1 must apologize to the many Americans | had the pleasure of coming in contact with, who are really liberal-minded enough to acknowledge ores that ‘a Jew is as good as any other man.’’ | will also extend my apologies to those who are convinced of what others express openly, but are too weak-minded to ackcowledge it or too inditierent to oppose what they know to be an unjust prejudice. I1shall be pleased, Mr. Faditor, if you will open the columns o! your valuable paper to the thorough discussion of this subject, being convinced it will finally lead to some good. A JEW. The Fathers of Mercy in Brooklyn. During the present year an Order known as the “Fathers of Mercy’? has been established in Brook- lyn. This organization, which is a missionary order of preachers, has a house in Broadway, E. D., with which are connected fourteen priests, The Superior is the Rev. Father Le Neuf, who is pastor of the Church of St. Francis de Sales, on Broadway, near Hull street. The assistant pastor, zealous and brilliant young preacher, Rev. T. F. Deianey, recently conducted a retreat at the House of the Good Shepherd, which has been regarded as the most successful ever given before the erring but repentant Magdalens in Brooklyn. The good fruits of the mission have been maintained and permanent spiritual ben achieved to a remark- able degree. The “Fathers of Mercy,” who have won the highest commendation of the Right Rev. Bishop Loughlin, of the diocese of Brookiyn, are about to erect a new church edifice on Broadway, the dimensions of which will be 155x75 feet. The Catholic Union, The second lecture of the year for the New York circle of the Catholic Union will be delivered in the hall of the Cooper Institute, on Tuesday evening next.

Rev. U, C, Goss, of this city, has issued another paper on the compara- Uve growth of Methodism throughout the United States and in the foreign missions. .He finds that, while the population of the country has increased since 1864 at the rate of 22.22 per cent, Methodism has grown in the Eastern and Middie States 18 per cent; along the Mississippi Valley, 44.44 per cent; in the far West, 87.55 per cent; in the Southern States, 1,664.26 per cent; among the Germans of the United States, 60.83 per cent, and in the for Missions, 104.85 per ceni. Some particular Contr: ences have run as low as 7 per cent and as high as 207 per cent increase. The aggregate increase of membership in all parts of its work during tue years intervening between 1864 and 1872 1s 578,341, of which ail save about 6,000 have been added at home, Thus Methodism leads all other religious denominations in this country by several thousands of members.

The British Conference has acceded to the wishes of the Wesieyan Methodist Conierence m Canada and acapted resolutions completely severing all bonds of ecclesiastical control over the latter.

According to the testimony of siehop Vail, of Kansas, pried is not making the rapid progress which it should in that State.

It has no spiritual aigniticance, but is intended as a simple coniession that the Catholic Church is the true church, It is another step of the surrender which the Church of England is making to the Church of Rome. The Bishop hag not the cot e to boidly say no, but has reférred the matter to the Chancellor of his diocese. Rev.

Charles Stovel, of London, arrived here on Sunday last. ‘or forty years he has been the beloved and efficient pastor of the Commercial street Baptist chapel. Though now in his seventy-fourth year he is as full of vigor as most men in middie lie, It was Mr, Stovel, in conjunction with the illustrious Knibb, who in 1832 addressed the tamous anti-slavery letter to the American Baptists, the influence of which went far to bring on the great issue sa which the Church, North and South, divided.

Ismacs’ Advice to Young Members of His Con- gregation. The congregation “Shaaray Teflla” begin again to fill their, accustomed places in their synagogue after the summer vacation, and yesterday a goodly number gathered to engage in the services and to be instructed by Rev. Mr. Isaacs. What sacred emotions, he remarked, are caused by the lesson we have read this morning! It portrays the good- ness, the justice and the mercy of God. Who does not desire to be able to say with the Psalmist, “I have not wilfully transgressed Thy command. ments?” God commands; it is for us to obey. Judaism requires practical duties, and there are Many who are glad to obey. He then called their attention to Deut. xxvi., 18, 19—‘“The Lord hath acknowledged thee, this day to be @ peculiar people unto Himself,” &c. These verses, he said, are from the Mosaic recoras, There is nothing rabbinical about them. The Lord acknowledges Israel to be unto Him a peculiar people that He may try Israel above all people, and that we may be a holy people unto Himself. This is what we have to observe, and we can’t neglect it without endangering our eternal wel- fare, We are not of those, said Mr. Isaac who flatter you by telling you that you are liberal and good, and that God will accept your services and your persons. You are to regard the Sabbath, to avoid everything forbidden by the law of Moses, From this there is and can be no departure with- out 4 DEEP AND LASTING INJURY as the result. Science has not yet discovered any other way of going to heaven than by the way of faith obedience to God. If we mine the poses of our history we shall find that our laws, ike ourselves, were designed to be perpetual, notwithstanding our world-wide oppression for the disobedience 01 our fathers. How debasing we must become in our own estimation when we think of God only on the day of atonement or some other great festival of Judaism! In what way do we pray to God or show our love to him? When the Chris- tian sees your stores closed on the Sabbath he will tart you because you keep that day holy. You keep not only the Jewish Sabbatn but the Christian Sabbath also, and thereby youqill ex- cite his admiration and surprise. The Jew should be an honorable man in every sense of the term, and he should not fear to proclaim himself a Jew because he fears God. The day is past when we should have compassion on any one who trans- greases the law of God or of the State, whether he be Jew or Gentile. He who transgresses the law of the land transgresses also Jewish law, for the de- fence of which we have stood firmly.in the ages past, This, at least, is the intention of the law, How many there are WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE JEWS when they come to lie down to die; but they tor- get that one a Jew is worth a hundred dead ones. And if, a8 Jews, you live well, you need not fear about your dying. Mr. Isaacs then offered a few words of advice to three young men who were about to be admitted to membership in the synagogue. He likened them toa three-fold cord that cannot be broken. The | good old tree, fortified by the nation’s tears, can- not fail to grow, These young men have confessed that the law of Moses is the law of God, and out 01 the month of babes and sucklings God hath per- fected his praise, Mr. Isaacs advised the candi- dates to seek religious knowledge in preference to mereiy jutellectual knowledge. He pointed out, briefly the difference between the knowledge of the world and the knowledge of God. He bade them serve God faithiully, to obey their parents affectionately aud to ialfil all the duties and ob ee imposed upon them by society towara heir fellow men, and ho prayed that they might be goo while they lived and enter Heaven when The “Three Johns’” Triumvirate and Their Backers. The Brennan Combination and the Bal-: anee of Power. , THE OFFICES TO BE FILLED, Tne politics! campaign in this city has fairly opened, and from one end of Manhattan Island to the other the note of preparation for the great struggle in November resounds on every side, The opening contest, however, will not be between the two great parties of the clly—the republicans and their once united and powerlul adversaries, the “flerce democracie”. Before the latter can enter the lists with any progpect of success they must heal the dissensions which at present paralyzes concerted and successful action, or the day of con- flict with their political opponents must be anticip- ated by the humiliation and defeat of one or other of the organizations now struggling for the leader- ship and the mastery. Asa party aiming at power and reasserting its old political supremacy, the democratic body of to-day lies under great dis- advantages. Their trusted leaders for years, sud- denly hurled from a power they abused in a man- ner that not only put weapons in their op- ponents’ hands to use against them, but for @ time drove the most zealous and staunchest supporters of democratic rule and democratic Principle to make common cause with their Political foes in overthrowing the very men who had long been the accepted and successful leaders of Tammany, x But while leaders disappear principles are ever present, and the democratic party again sought for trusted men into whose hands they might safely commit the reorganization of their party, and once more surround Tammany with its ancient prestige. As @ party they nad made the sacrifice which Patriotism demanded, As a party they must again take the first rank in the political councils of the city and State. On the great wave of reform, that for a time was irresistible in its course, the present leaders of Tammany were borne to a point which enabled them to assume control of the party at least fora time. They were not the men that, un- der party rule and discipline, would have been se- lected for leadership. They filled the gap, how- ever, and, at the least, after the first disaster to the Tammany cause, they might form a rallying point round which the scattered hosts might again reorganize, and in fresh contests pluck victory from the arms of defeat, Have these men been equal to the occasion? Have they taken in the situa- tion? Have they furled the standard of Old Tam- many, so dear to the democracy, and invited the bone and sinew, and brains, too, of its erst time Most steadfast adherents to assume their proper places under its folds? These questions have becn put, and the responses thereto bode no good to them or the cause they claim to represent In the coming contest. “In union is strength” is a motto the present Tammany leaders appear to ignore. Their policy is the most baneful impediment that now stands in the way of union and strength and permanent reconstruction. The blood of the Sachems should be the seed of Tammany, and trom the sacrifices already made to purge the city government and the democratic party from the double crime of fraud and treason, it might be supposed that Tammany to-day would stand emancipated, regenerated and disenthrallea— the venerated shrine of its devoted followers, and from which only backsliders, ingrates and ren egades shall be expelled. but WHAT SAYS APOLLO HALL? These men have been weighed in the balance and |,found wanting. They assume powers not dele- gated to them by the democracy. They are not the cnosen leaders of the party, but the mere crea- tures of railroad monopolists, held in their places by the railroad interest which, controlling State politics, must be felt and submitted to in the at city of New York. Apollo Hall thun- lers out “No!’ pitches into John No. 1— Kelly—the leader, goes for John No, 2—Ffox— and pays back with one of his own “counters”—a left-handed compliment no doubt—John No. 3— Morrissey. The Apolio leaders denounced the “THREE JOHN DEMOCRACY” as a railway swindle and a snare, and would any day sooner recommend a full demijohn to the democratic party than any one or ail of the three whole Johns that compose the Tammany trium- virate of to-day; but there isa power behind this ‘Three John party that will have to be combated— the railway power, which, however it may be neutralized In the a controls the State, and here in this certainty Mr. Kelly finds his strength to scout the idea of aMliation with the Apollo or Irving Hail party and their willing allies, the rem- nant of the liberal republicans, who listen toand are cajoled by the rhodomontade of the political harle- quin, General Cochrane. It was a well directed : SHOT OF SENATOR CREAMER before the Tammany State Central Cothmittee, moving to increase the number of delegates to the Democratic State Convention, so that Apollo Hall and the liberal republicans should be represented, It drew the enemy’s fire immediately and showed exactly their position in the fight, horse, foot and dragoons, and the batteries Of the railway contin- gent, well supplied on the flanks, ready to support he onslaught made on the refractory Creamerites and Irvingites generally. Of course Kelly carried the day aiter a skirmish which refected very little credit on his tactics or generaiship. Tne to¢sin ‘was at once sounded in rg Hall and the young braves at once appeared in paint and feather, and glittering tomahawk all ready for the war path, The beacon fires were lighted, and vows registered to keep the “fires burning” until probably Tammany would be made too hot for the three Johns and their railway supporters. However this may be, it is clear that the Apolio Hall fight will be first mainly directed to overthrow the Tammany party, represented by Mr. Kelly, when 4 fusion of all the democratic ele- ments may be calculated upon to the end ol the campaign strould the Apollo Hall chiefs succeed. The question naturally arises, ‘Which is the stronger party just now?” Tammany’s calculation gives them ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS at this si sure, out of the twenty-one into which the city is divided. Kelly at the head has able subalterns under him, his principal depend- ence among the masses being on John Fox and William Waish and their immediate friends; both clever, shrewd ward manipulators, and the former very popular in the lower district, Mayor Have- meyer is coming out flat-footed as a revivi- fled or resuscitated old democrat, and will naturally attach himself to Tammany, where his friend, Comptroller Green, is pipe-laying with an eye to the gubernatorial cbair. illiam H. Wickham, an Apollo Hall renegade, fights under Kelly, and will be the probable candidate for the Tammany nomination against John Fox for the Shrievalty this fall. Sammy J. Tilden, who is taking the waters somewhere in Germany, will be home in time to strengthen the old reform party that still finds respectable connections in the many fold. But BETWEEN TAMMANY HALL AND APOLLO HALL. there stanas @ power, which, like the sword of Brennus thrown in the scale, will decide the fate of either party, as it may be given or exercised in favor of either. Matthew Brennan, like the great feudal chief of old, has an army of retainers which to-day has only to be told upon which side to fight to “sail” in, ‘inere is a strong combination in t connection. Brennan wants to GO TO THE STATE SENATE to look after his fees when his term as Sheriff shall have expired, Charles E. Loew smiles dissent or protest whenever a third term as County Clerk is suggested to him; but it is well known he is at Brennan’s service to run again or retire as may be most expedient to the combination. Surmising that Billy Walsh should get the Tammany nomina- tion tor that office, then William ©, Connor, for. merly County Clerk, or ex-Deputy Sherif Bernard Reilly, will go in the Brennan interest for the noml- nation for Sneri(,whileHarry Genet is ready to take Police Commissioner Oliver Charlick in hand, who is candidate for State Senator in O’Brien’s dis- trict, to secure the appointment of ELECTION INSPECTORS AND CANVASSERS IN. FAVOR OF APOLLO HALL. So It will be seen that the combination 18 a big thing, and if it can only be brought into harmony with Apolio Hall, its chiefs and policy, then the “Three John” power of Tammany will be of short duration and the ratiroad clique be utterly over- thrown should @ compromise be not effected be- fore the Democratic State Convention meets be- tween Tammany and Apollo leaders. ‘THE OFFIORS TO BE FILLED, There is a pretty large slate, co with the dis- sensions that existin the democratic ranks, the robabilities are that the-republicans will secure he spoils and gain still greater ascendency in the city government. ‘Tae cry of “Reiorm” may not possess its old potency, but with the prestige of past success, though largely due to democrats thelx unity of {twill not Ye surorising bn of the Superior Court, in place of Barbour and Monell, and two Judges of the Marine Court, in place of Curtis and Howland.

The sixth game of the championship series be- tween the Mutuals and Philadelphians was played yesterday afternoon, on the Union grounds, in the presence of the largest crowd seen on the field since the 4th of July. The unparalleled game played py the Atlantics and White Stockings, om Friday, seemed to have revived all the laten$ enthusiasm of the, ball tossers and lovers, and the consequence was that they flocked to the grounds in hopes of seeing another fine game. And they were not disappointed, though the former game was not equalled nor approached. So sharp was the flelding of the New Yorkers, and withal so faultless, that at the end of the seventh inning they had but one error charged to them, and the Philadelphians had been unable to score a single run. It looked all over as if the famous Kekionga-Cleveland score of 2 to 0 would be duplicated, as those were Just the figures et that point. The great somerset turner was early on the ae anxious to display his agility, but the Philadelphians were behind, and he didn’t turn worth a copper. ‘This was @ source ot disappointment to a large number of people who had visited the grounds ex- Pressly to note bis antics. He is a Philadelphian athlete, The seemin; IF inevitable had to come, however, and in the aly ith innings two errors by Hatfield and one by Allison spoiied an otherwise perfect game, and the visitors got in the thousand dollar rua and saved the hurried trip to Chicago.

THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT ARMORY SITE. What Alderman Richardson Says of thu Land Trai ction. The withholding of the approval of the President of the Kings County Board of Supervisors from the action of the committee who purchased the ground for the erection of the proposed armory for the Thirteenth regiment has created con- siderable comment in Brooklyn. The title of the land, which was purchased for $65,000 from Alderman William Richardson, is al. leged to have been imperfect. The Legis- lature appropriated the sum of $150,000 for the erection of a new armory for the regiment in question, and of this amount the Taiineene committee propose to expend $65,000, les ite Ooty $55,000 for the erection of the building. With re- gard to the transaction Alderman Richardson said esterday :—‘The first person who ever ofii inquired my views as to selling was General E. declined selling 1t, and Fowler. I emphatical told him the property was so valuable ta me that I could not afford to it for any such price as they’ would pay. that an armory would interfere with boring buildings, and that it would be ne ro to purchase from three owners to secure the size jece they wanted. Before that Mr. Wyckoff, of the yoko & James, had asked me to sell, and I had declined. When Mr. Wyckoffcame to me about a site for the Armory, I suggested a piece of land in Boerum street, belonging to Mr. Nelson, but Mr. Wyckoff said the price was too high. Them I recommended them to try the Schermerhorn estate. He replied that they refused to sell for guch a purpose. iter a fourt! application I named $70,000 as my price, on condition that I could urchase the adjoining property. I was afterward vited to meet @ sul mmittee of the Board of Supervisors at the office of Wyckoff & James. It ‘was in the latter part of June. I met there Super- visors Fowler, Stears and Richards, and Gencral Jourdan and Adjutant Richards, in behalf of the regiment. We had along conference as to price. Supervisor Stears claimed that I wanted too much. I then made an offer to leave the matter to arbitra- tion—I choosing one arbitrator, the Supervisors another and these two Geen ane athird, Thisthe Supervisors declined, offering me $65,000, which EF finally accepted. Ihave been obliged to expend fed va it T also said the neigh- nearly $23,000 myself in purchasing adjacent. erty to make up the site. Ihave never ask single Supervisor to vote either way on the matter. Tne lawyers who passed the title were Messrs. Bergen and Rolfe, aud they were det ated by Supervisors Prentice and George H, Fisher, who voted against the measure. AS for its being vetoed, in actual fact it has not come before the Super- visors at large, the Clerk being allowed five days in which to make up his report. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
