THE TEN Taz New Potice Justices.—Short, sharp and decisive was the action of the Board of Aldermen yesterday in taking up and con- sidering favorably the Mayor's nominations for Police Justiceships. Nine new magistrates are to take their seats immediately, and nine of the old régime retire to the shades of private life. Justice Bixby is the only magistrate of the ancient ten retained. The legal aphorism, flat justitia, has for him a double meaning. Tae Last or THE Mopocs,—The remnants of the fighting tribe of Modocs, mostly women and children, are on their way enst- ward to Wyoming Territory, a thousand miles from the graves and the lands of their fathers in Oregon. In other words, the Modocs are practically exterminated; for the removal of its living members to Wyoming extinguishes the tribe. These poor creatures, in the deep mourn- ing, not of sackcloth and ashes, but of tar and ashes—‘‘Princess Mary'’ and the widow of Captain Jack conspicuous among the women— have undertaken their melancholy journey, They are highly honored, however, in being escorted by a detachment of United States troops ; and in their change of diet from the lizards of the lava beds to the roast beef and wheat bread of their new quarters they will get fat and foel comfortable, NEW YORK HEKALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1878—QUADKUPLE SHEET, International Arbitration—Is the Era of Universal Peace at Handt In tho Henaxp recently we printed an article from the Pall Mall Gazelle commenting on the address made some two wecks ago by Mr. David Dudley Field at the Social Science Congress, Norwich, England. We have no quarrel with the Pall Mall Gazette for the liberty which it has taken with Mr. David Dudley Field, his address at the Congress and his advertisement of his forthcoming work on in- ternational law. It is natural for Mr. Field to be proud of a literary work on which he has labored for seven years, It was not unnatural for him to allude to that work in an address bearing especially on international law. In sketching the outlines of his work he was, no doubt, securing for it a good advertisement ; but he was doing no more than most men would do in similar circumstances. If Mr. Field expected, as no doubt he did, that the Pall Mall Gazette would lend him some effective assistance in the matter nearest to his heart he has reason to be abundantly satisfied. Our interestin Mr. Dudley Field and the Pall Mall Gazette is of different kind. We printed the article bécause we felt that the address of Mr. Field at the Social Science Congress and the remarks which it called forth in that able English daily gave a fresh interest to the question of international arbi- tration and to that cause which is dear to all who wish to see international questions settled without recourse to the bloody arbitrament of the sword. Mr. Field, it seems, in his treatise makes four provisions, which he thinks would have the effect of preserving the peace of the nations. These provisions are— (1) simultaneous reduction of the enormous armaments which now weigh upon Europe ; (2) that a specific notice of causes of complaint, and a specific claim for redress shall precede actual declaration of war; (3) if no redress ahigh commission of five to be appointed to try to conciliate the parties, and if this fails (4) a high tribunal of arbitration to be appointed, whose award shall be final. It would be an easy thing to set about demol- ishing these provisions and showing that in the present condition of the great na- tions such opinions are of the most wildly Utopian character. This, however, we have no desire to do. The doctrine involved in these provisions is not new. It is old as Christianity itself. It is older. The inspired teachers of ancient Israel, looking down through the future, beheld the happier day afar off when the sword should be trans- formed into a ploughshare and the spear into & pruning hook, and when the art of war should be studied no more. ‘Peace on earth and good will to men,” was the burden of that angelic song which announced to the aston- ished shepherds on the plains of Bethlehem the advent of the Son of Man. The New Testament throughout is an eluborate discus- sion and enforcement of the truth that man should not war with man. It is our confident belief that to another generation war will be as offensive as slavery has been to this. It is no hovor to the churches, no honor to the men who preach the gospel of peace, that war should, in this late age of the world, be in- vested with so much factitious glory. In this disgrace all the educated professions to a cer- tain extent share; for the educated forces of the Christian world have never been fully put forth to make an end of war. Peace con- gresses are not new; but hitherto they have been more laughed at than encouraged. A better spirit seems to be developing itself. The Peace Association of England had, during the last session of Parliament, a patient and respectful hearing in the House of Commons, and the importance of its mission was kindly recognized by Her Majesty the Queen. The raising of the ques- tion at the Social Science Assembly of savans at Norwich cannot but have a good effect. The truth is, the Washington Treaty has, more than any event which has happened in modern times, opened the eyes of the thinking portion of mankind to the horrors of war. To many, as to the writer in the Pall Mall Gazette, Mr. Field’s ‘provisions in- tended for the preservation of the peace’’ may seem Utopian ; but the time must come—and the day cannot be far distant, if there be any truth in Christianity and any improvement in modern progress—when these same provisions shall form part of the international law of the civilized world. Mr. Field made a good point in favor of the ultimate and probable early triumph of his principles by referring to the rapidly increas- ing power of the United States—a power which, in the future, cannot but be wielded on the side of peace. In the not distant future California will have its sixty-five mil- lions of inhabitants and Texas will have its ninety-five millions, not to speak of the growth of the other States which lie between the Atlantic and the Paciflc. This vast population will be self-governing. It is difficult for an Englishman to get rid of the idea that civil war must yet rend the Union. The wish is, unhappily, father to the thought. He cannot understand that the very possibility of further civil war in the United States perished with slavery. No further cause of war exists. No further cause of war is conceivable. The interests of this whole peoplo, from Maine to California, are one and the same. Our canals and our railroads, ever on the increase, are binding the nation more and more into a solid unit. California is necessary to New York and New York is indispensable to California. Fifty years from 'now the population of the United States will be such as to give us the balance of power among the nations. In the interests of the peoples and in the in- terests of commerce—for commerce is more and more becoming the ruling power in the world—it will be our duty to interfere to prevent war. Too long have the peoples suffered ; too long has it been the privilege of monarchs to make war in obedience to their own whims. Year by year we are reducing the population of the European nations and increasing our own. Our success—the peace and prosperity of this country will prove ® most healthful example; and the might and majesty of the greatest Republfo the world has ever known will act as a deter- rent to rulers who, for personal or dynastic reasons, would plunge their people into all the horrors of war. Is it not conceivable that at no distant day, what with the rapidly in- creasing communication between the Old World and the New, and the consequently in- creased and ever increasing influence of our re- publican institutions on the European nations, the best part of Eurove will be consolidated into a great republic, in imitation of our own? There is no good reason known to us why Germany should not soon be a republic, in- cluding not only all the German States, North and South, but Holland, Sweden and Norway besides. A federal republic, including France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, is not so much a vain and foolish dream as it once was. In proportion as the European nations unite so will the chances of war be diminished; and when Europe is republican, like the United States, the chances of war will be small the wide world over. In the meantime wo expect much from the discussion of this question. We expect much from the hearty co-operation of Great Britain and the United States. They have given the example, and they must continue to enforce it and lend it en- couragement, The question should be discussed more freely in the pulpit and more frequently in the Senate. It concerns 4ll—governments and peoples alike, So long as such a war as that which recently deluged the plains of France with blood is possible our Christianity is still stained, our civilization is stil imper- fect, Let us all labor and hope for that hap- pier day when it will be universally admitted that “God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth,” and when the sun shall rise and set no more On scenes of blood and sorrow. “Bread and Butter and Tea.” A singular scene is said to have occurred in the Calvary Episcopal church, Chicago, last Sunday. The Rev. J. F. Walker, the pastor, says the account, was observed by the congre- gation to be in ill health, and to conduct the service im a particularly feeble manner. Finally, when he came to the sermon, he broke completely down, and, to the amaze- ment of the congregation, and not a little to their chagrin, announced that all that he had had to eat and drink during that and the pre- vious day had been bread and butter and tea, and that when he should go home after service was over he would not feel certain of finding even that much. The sensation produced, says the account, is indescribable. Many of the congregation got up and went away, smarting under the rebuke which Mr. Walker's confession of starvation administered to them, and those who remained poured forth enough invitations to last Mr. Walker every Sunday in the year could he have accepted them con- secutively. Now, we are willing to make every allowance for the Chicago Calvary Episcopal church congregation which the possibility of exag- geration, malicious or otherwise, in this report can suggest. It is not often that the spectacle is presented of a congregation hungering and thirsting after righteousness while their pastor hungers and thirsts after roast beef. But even supposing that Mr. Walker’s description of the meagre state of his larder is correct, we are unable to see why a good sermon could not be written and delivered on a couple of days’ repast of bread and butter and tea, provided only there was enough of them. We have no means of ascertaining the quan- tity of Mr. Walker's appetite, or, therefore, of comparing the supply of eatables with the demand. We are in ignorance as to how long this vegetarian diet had lasted, and whether Mr. Walker had been in the habit of eating meat once, or twice, or thrice a day. But, other things being equal—that is to say, Mr. Walker being an average clergyman possess- ing the average clerical appetite, and having enjoyed the average clerical supply of eatables and drinkables during the majority of his professional career—we have no doubt that it would do him more good | than harm to come down to bread and butter and tea fora day or two. Itis a pleasant thing tosee aman putting a good appetite and anexcellent digestion to proper work. No minister will save one soul the less for doing so. The sin with most of us, clergy- men included, is that we eat too much, and do not eat that much in a proper manner. We do all to the glory of gluttony, not God. We give to the stomach the work which should have been performed by the teeth, and the just punishment comes in the shape of dys- pepsia. But we have no desire to pronounce a final opinion upon either Mr. Walker or the Chicago Calvary Episcopal church congrega- tion. If the clergyman really made the speech attributed to him he was probably feeling pretty bad; but before pronouncing a more emphatic opinion it would be necessary to know how much salary he gets, how that salary is expended, whether he possesses any private means, and if so, how they are ap- plied. We believe in fair pay and good meat and drink for those who preach to us faith- fully about our souls; but at the same time an occasional diet upon bread and butter and tea would be apt to do good rather than harm to clergyman as well as layman. Tue Naztonat Boarp or Travz, assembled at Chicago, has accomplished little except in the way of speech-making. There is a want of harmony in the views of the delegates, and we fear the proceedings will terminate without any good or practical result. One gentleman was in favor of Congress regulating trans- portation both by land and the water routes; another approved only of the improvement of water routes by Congress, and another was opposed to any legislation on the subject, be- lieving that the evils complained of should be left to find a remedy through competition. The same difficulty occurred on the questions of specie payment and a paper currency. The various opinions were generally in accordance with the interests, or supposed interests, of the sections of country which the gentlemen represented, showing that the term ‘‘national’’ applied to the body has not much meaning. Braz any THE Onvrcn.—Baron Penedo, an important Brazilian functionary, has arrived in Rome ona mission of reconcilia- tion to the Holy See. On Friday he proceeded to the Vatican and presented his credentials to the Pope. It will be remembered that about a year ago the Brazilian Parliament todk very much the same action towards theCatho- lic Church as that which has been taken by Italy and Germany, and more recently by Mexico. We have no idea that any of those powerful governments will go back upon ) themselves. What they have done they will stand by. It does not follow, however, that reconciliation is impossible. The Papal gov- ernment will gain rather than lose by accept- ing the new departure, and. to induce tho Papal government to come around to this view of the case is, no doubt, the principal ohiect of tho mission of Baron Penedo, Probable Disruption of the Baptist Denowination—Open Versus Close Communion, The Baptist denomination, not only here, but in Great Britain, is passing through a crisis among the most momorable in its his- tory. To this denomination, perhaps, moro than to any other, is due the honor of having given to this Republic so much of religious freedom as we enjoy to-day. But, impercep- tibly, and perhaps unconsciously to itself, it is beginning, like other denominations, to be affected by the liberal thought of the age, and a door has been opened through its hitherto untenable, if not unchristian, practice of com- munion exclusiyeness. Congregational in its form of government, even more so than Con- gregationalists themselves; independent of any and every authority outside of and beyond their several local societies, each is his own master to whom he must stand or fall. But while thus free and independent the churches choose to unite in voluntary associations for mutual encouragement and aid. No church thus affiliating with its sister churches yields a particle of its own independence, nor does it belong to tho associated body to sit as inquisitor or judge over any mem- ber thereof. Nevertheless, this is just what some of the associations seek to do when they come together in their annual conferences, Last week the Long Island Association met in Brooklyn and claimed this right and in part exercised’ this authority over at least four churches—namely, the Lee avenue church, the Port Jefferson church, the Rockville Cen- tre church and the Carsville church. The lat- ter has failed for two years to report to the association, and a committee was appointed to ascertain the cause of this failure. The Rockville Centre church has had open com- munion trouble during the year, which com- pelled its pastor, Rev. H. O. Pentecost (brother of the late pastor of the Hanson place church, where the association convened), to resign, because of his liberal sentiments on this question. The Port Jefferson church trouble is of another kind, and the associa- tion exercised a semi-judicial authority over it by appointing a committee of inquiry and re- solving not to hold intercourse with it except through its committee. These three churches have received missionary aid from the associ- ation, and a judicialas well as a spiritual oversight of them may be conceded to the association on that account. But the association holds no such relation to the Lee avenue church, and consequently has no ecclesiastical jurisdiction over that so- ciety, except such as may be cheerfully and voluntarily conceded to it. But, notwith- standing this fact, very well known to the members of the association, as it appeared in the discussions thereon, a committee of in- quiry was appointed for this church also. From the defiant language and attitude of its pastor and delegates in the Convention it is not difficult to divine of what nature will be the report which they will present to the asso- ciation at its next annual gathering. The church and its pastor are a unit on the ques- tion of open communion; and as they are not likely, during the coming year, at the solicita- tion or dictation of a committee, to change views which they have openly held for nearly three years against fierce opposition, amount- ing almost to persecution, the probable result of the inquiry next year will be the cutting off of this church from all intercourse or affilia- tion with the Long Island Baptist Association. But this result is coveted rather than feared by the Lee avenue church, as was manifest dusing the discussions last week. The church, of course, has the same right to withdraw from the association that it had to unite with it, and a desire that it would do 80 was expressed by one or two delegates to the Convention. This would be an easier way of getting over the difficulty than by ex- cising the church, and it would most likely divert public sympathy from the church tow- ard the association. This, it may be in- ferred, is not the chief end sought by the Lee avenue society ; hence it will wait until the association moves in the matter and cuts it off from fellowship—a measure that, if car- ried out, could not fail to disrupt, if not destroy, the association. The association is hardly strong enough yet to begin the work of excision of some of its best members. For if it succeeds in turning out Lee avenue church, with its 340 members, next year, it may have to do the same thing a year or two after with the First church, with its 637 members, nearly one-half of whom, accord- ing to the testimony of one of its delegates, are open communionists. And nearly every Baptist church in Brooklyn is more or less tainted with open communion sentiments. This leavening influence has come across the ocean from England, where close communion churches are few and feeble, while open com- munionists are numerous and strong and wealthy. And it will not stop in one or two churches here; and the Long Island Association and all other associations might as well try to beat back the Atlantic’s waves with a broom as te attempt to stop the progress of liberal and Christian thought among American Baptists. The Long Island Association, with its membership of eight thousand seven hundred and fifty-six, showing a net gain of only sixty-eight members throughout its bounds during the past year, can hardly afford to lose any of its strength. The total number baptized was four hundred and fifty-eight, and of these four churches in Brooklyn furnished two hundred and fifteen, or nearly one half. But small as these figures may appear they show a marked decline from the preceding associational year, when five hundred and thirty-five pertons were baptized. The percentage of gain was but five, so that it would appear Methodism is not alone in its decline in Brooklyn. Memrnts ap Suarveront.—They have had, for some days past, a continuance of cold weather at Shreveport, and the number of deaths per day from the fever has been reduced to three; but one hundred and fifty cases are reported in the surrounding country, some of which were not doing well. The discase is gradually subsiding in Memphis, though twenty-three deaths per day in a population not one-half that of the city at the outbreak of the fever is still a fearful mortality. A few more heavy and general frosts, however, over the cotton belt of the South, will doubtless completely extinguish tho pestilence; and then the cities which have so terribly suffered, profiting from the good of New Orleans and its good results, will, it is to be hoped, turn their attention to the purification of their stroots and sewers and pestilential holes and corners, in view of the established truth that in regard to “Yellow Jack’ it is easier to prevent his coming in than to expel him after ho is permitted to get into » town or city. The Verdict in the Kelsey Case. After months of seeming useless and mis- directed inquiry the Coroner's jury, empan- elled to investigate the case of the unfortunate Kelsey, have produced a verdict, Ponding further, and what, it is to be hoped, may prove better conducted probings into the Hunting- ton social wound, comment on the character of the finding of the jury may be deferred. It is matter for congratulation, however, and is noted with satisfaction, that the representa- tives of the tar and feather party—the per- sons to whom the evidence taken on the inquest pointed as the participants in the outrage, and may be marder— are placed under the ban of the law. The matter is not disgraceful alone to Huntington; the scandal of outraged justice, discarded law and condoned crime affects tho State, and is, therefore, of more importance than many of the country people suppose. It may be, as is suggested by our correspondent, that mur- der was not intended’ Perhaps the hot- headed dry goods clerks and village wiseacres’ purpose fell short of the dreadful execution; but, whether or not, it should be made manifest by the power of law that murder for fun is not allowable. The whole affair is a reproach to the State. It wants a faithful, energetic District Attorney anda public sentiment to back him. The perpetrators of the brutal and murderous out- rage on Kelsey will have to be punished. Arvarrs 1x Utan.—Brigham Young, the Mormon chief, is reported in very feeble health, causing serious uneasiness to the great body of his people, whose interests are de- pendent upon the prolongation of his life. Naturally, however, of a robust constitution, he is said to become impatient against any suggestions of the possibility of his early de- mise. Still, with his characteristic fore- thought, we dare say that when called for to cross the Jordan it will be found that he has put his house in order. Meantime, the pres- ence of Colonel Fred. Grant (son of the Presi- dent) at Salt Lake City is naturally exciting some speculations there as to the object of his visit. We suspect, however, that his only ob- jects are to see the Mormons in their City of Zion, and, second, to see if General Morrow, United States military commander in Utah, cannot find something to do for a roving young lieutenant desirous of active employ- ment. Tue Cartacena InsurcEnts.—Never did a country so deplorably reveal her weakness at sea as Spain is now doing. The insurgent vessels have attacked the best vessels of the government navy. They have made buc- caneering expeditions to different parts of the coast. They have captured not a few of the merchant vessels of the country. Their boldness has grown with the occasion; and now we are told that they intend to arm the merchant vessels which have fallen into their hands and use them against the government. All this presents in a very unfavorable light the present Spanish government. Russtan Revorr oF THE CONDITION OF Arrams IN Kautva.—A telegram from St. Petersburg, under date of yesterday, reports that the Russian government has been spe- cially informed by despatches from Central Asia of the inception and continued existence of a frightful condition of affairs in Khiva since the retirement of the imperialist Mus- covite troops from the Khanate territory. The city of Khiva was captured, plundered and razed by o force of revolted Youmeds after the departure of General Kauf- mann and his army. Sixteen hundred Persians, just emancipated from slavery, have been slaughtered by the Usbeks—a very sad and exceedingly serious affair. His Highness the Khan is, it is alleged, calling out for the Russians to return, so as to enable him to restore order. Such is the im- perialist account of the present fruits of the Qzar’s military mission to Khiva. It may be exaggerated, even heightened in color, with intent, but it contains evidently quite sufficient of fact to prove that the world must wait a good while yet before the peoples realize the civilizing effects which are to flow from the Russian march on the Jaxartes. But s0 the world has had to wait for the Christian consequences of Warren Hastings’ propagand- ism in Hindostan. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Joaquin Miller is ai present one of the loungers on the Boulevard des Italiens, Rochefort’s reputed wealth must have been ais- sipated in some strange way. All that remains of it for the support of his children is 3,000 francs, the result of the sale of his household furniture. A Kentucky paper states that there is a first rate prospect of an extensive “black-burying” in Shelby county, in consequence of a recent raid made by negroes upon the domiciles of their peaceful brethren, and committing divers outrages. The editor of the Statesvilie (M, 0.) Intetigencer says that he was attacked in his satictum last week, while sitting at his desk writing, by N. W. Lillington, and terribly pummelied over the head with a slungshot. Lillington is a revenue officer, and was accompanied by three other government omictals. A certificate of the vote cast for President in Missouri at the last general election has been issued trom the Secretary of State’s office, Missouri, for use as evidence in a suit on a bond in Johnson country, the bond having been conditioned to be due in the event of Horace Greeley obtaining over 16,000 majority for President in the State. The magnificent farm of 8. 0. Pomeroy, near Atchison, Kansas, together with bis city lots, has been attached on suits brought by creditors in Topeka and elsewhere. “Troubies never come singly.” To be attacked personally one day, and tohave one’s property attached on ‘another, ts getting one’s fair share of troupte “all in a heap,” ‘The Piedmont (N. ©.) Press says the only tenant found by the Grand Jury in the jail of Caldweil county, on visiting it, was a buck rabbit. If it had been a ‘dead rabbit,” as known hereabouts, the case Would have been different. But perhaps in North Carolina the “dead rabbits’ are allowed to roti at large, and only the “nucks” are put in limbo. An exchange remarks that travellers on rail- road cars are growing louder and louder in their complaints against the nuisance of travelling ped- lers, AS &} means of relief passengers are adopt- ing the plan of throwing the wares placed in their laps on the floor or out of the windows. The nuisance, unfortunately, ts not confined to steam cars, but the city horse railroads are frequently Infested by the same class of importunate venders of small wares.

MUSICAL AND D#AMATIC NOTES. eens Tho Italian opera season has reached “armed neutrality” among the artists, This week the bills will be changed at all the theatres in the city except Booth’s, the Union Sqnare and the Broadway. Mr. Wilkie Collins will be present at Miss Oarlotta 's initial performance of “The New Mag- t the Broadway Theatre. “The Geneva Cross” is still drawing good houses. This play is the only new one yet produced this season which has had a “run’ that may be called “successful.’” ‘Theodore Thomas’ symphony concerts will begin Saturday evening, November 22. It is needless to commend the excellence of these recitals, the ex- perience of years having established their high charactér, Miss Clara Morris has been engaged to appear at the Union Square Theatre after the withdrawal of “The Geneva Cross.” It is probable she will ap- pear in @ new piece and in an emotional part similar to those rdles upon whicn her fame rests, At the Lyceum Theatre “Notre Dame’’ has been withdrawn and this week is to be devoted to Shakespeare. On Monday evening Mr. T.C, King @ppears as Othello, Mr. Charles Wheatleigh as Iage and Miss Jetireys Lewis as Desdemona, and om Tuesday Mr. King plays Ingomar. These pieces will be alternated during the week. ‘The incidental entertainments introduced into “The Black Crook” are to be entirely changed te- morrow evening. The new effects will include a baliet called “The Demon’s Revel,” with 100 dan- cers, @ new demon pas de quartreby Miles. Boat and Guivassi and the Kiralfy brothers, the new spiritual suspension effect by the Kiralfy sisters and @ new nautical ballet. The Giraras are also to appear In a gymnastic “folly” called the “Leg Mania.” “Round the Clock" is to be revived at the Grand Opera House to-morrow evening. Mr. G. L. Fox plays Lawyer Goddigatt, Mrs. 0. L. Walcott Joey Lillypurn from Boston, and Mr. Hardenberg takes Kilgobbin, John Brougham’s old part, and Miss Fanny Heywood plays Juliana, Mrs. John Wood's part last season, That distinguished actor, Johnny Aaron, is not re-engaged, those noble rdles of the light weights being given to Mr. Costello and Mr. Cherry. Mr. Robert McWade appears at the Olympie Theatre to-morrow evening in his own version of “Rip Van Winkle.” Rip’s dog “Schneider” is an important element in the story, and Mr, McWade does not forget to introduce him to the audience. We are assured that his conception of the part is in no respect copied from Mr. Jefferson’s Rip Vaan Winkle, and are even told that the play exhibits more fidelity to Washington Irving’s beautifal story than Mr. Boucicault’s version. The repetition of “Ernani,” at the Academy of Music, on Friday evening, did not bring together an audience altogether equal to the merits of the occasion. Yet this is, as a whole, one of the most brilliant representations of the season, Torrianl and Campanini acquitting themselves well and Maurel finding his best rdle in King Charles. Isit, indeed, the fashion to go to the opera only on Nilsson nights? If our society people have adopted any such rule they will make opera in the future next to impossible. The general excellence of the representation should be the only rule among opera goers. OBSEQUIES OF FATHER O°MULLANE. ee {mpressive Ccremonics and an Imposing Funeral Pageant.
