minutes. He ‘sone moment trembling and bine from cold; the next every pore oi his body is a per- spiring fountain, He shivers with quick- chattering teeth, from raw waves of cold that seem to flow along his spine, one Minute; the next he tosses the clothes away as if he were being parbolied. Finally the cold fits or aguish feeling 1s over, and a racking headache fol- lows, with a steady, profuse perspiration, some- times ending in @ slight delirium, When he has unuergone about 10 hours of this horrible experi- ence he feels as weak asa@ kitten, and, with an abashed face, which has strangely enough assumed a@ jaundiced hue. he confesses penitently that he has had the “fever,” as many a good man had be- fore him, The next day he is down again, and on the third day a/so, when the terttau departs from him, if he has been wise and taken the inyaluabge specific, quinine sulphate, in time; if not, fover 1s not to be rid of until the tomb closes over its un- happy victim, THE AFRICAN FEVER, as also the Indian jungie fever, is nothing more than a virnlent ague. ‘he agues of the Mississippi and Arkansas valieys are mild compared with the agues of the African Equator. The iormer may be laughed at, may be taken and endured to take and endure again, without seriously endangering the constitution, just as one would take a fit of sea Sickness. The experience ts bitter enough while it lasts, but the patient after a while finds in his se- cret heart a certain contempt for it. But the African fever is a vicious sick- ness, deluding one into the idea that it is not very dangerous by its mild pre- liminary symptoms; bnt it sometimes changes suddenly drops its intermittent jorm and becomes remittent or continued, aud from three to five days only are required to kill the stoutest man, Itis the remittent type that has been so fatal to travellers in Airica; that slaughtered the mem- bers of the Zambezi Mission; that terminated poor Mrs. Livingstone’s life at Shupauga; that deci- mated the unfortunate marines at Elmina, Even now I see that its brother, “Yellow Jack,” has ap- peared at Shreveport and the towns along tue bayous of the Mississippi, reaping a fearfnl harvest of lives. The remittent fever of the Equator is a distinctive name, without much difference from yellow fever. The symptoms are almost the same, except that the African remittent is not conta- gious, THE INTERMITTENT OR AGUE FEVER of this Continent insidiousiy saps the best consti- tution, Its effects are either seen in an early decay of the whole system or in a weakening of the mental faculties. A man hitherto noted Jor his ex- cessive energy and industrious habits soon begins to feel a heavy languor or torpitude binding every impulse and faculty, GRATUITOUS PRESCRIPTIONS, One of the most remarkable teatures of a British expedition to me is the quantity of varied but ex- cellent advice which each officer gives his fellow on Orst arrival, whether it is in Abyssinia or Ashantee, In Abyssinia the advice was, “Fortify the system, Bir.” Drink brapdy and soda and bottied beer— olten pronounced by the éducated classes “‘vottied beah,”” In Ashantee the advice is more varied, pnt all as excellent, “Live generous, sir. It’s the best thing in the world, sir, depend upon it, Patronize beer, Ciaret and good wines, Wear a cholera beit about your loins. Wear flannel next the skin, Bathe twice a day. Avoid the sun as you would . Exercise moderately, but not in the early morn- ing hor at night, Beware of late dinners and heavy suppers, Avoid excess in eating and all un- ripe fruits Should you feel a fainting in the stomach don’t rush to the bottle to sustain it, but take a wee, wee giass of sherry and bitters. ‘lake @ glass of quinine wine every morning; it is an ex- cellent prophylactic. With all of which excelient acvice, however, men satfer from the fever, con- fess to languor, lassitude, feeble appetite and failing of strength, and in a few weeks are compelled to be invalided and sent home to regain the bloom and brightness of manhood, which had almost been wrecked during their short stay on the Gold Coast, It is a common mistake with many new arrivals here to suppose that be- cause a week or s0 elapses before they have been attacked by fever and prostrated by sickness that the climate on the Gold Coast has been exagger- aved ; but before long it turns out that these robust people, who pride themselves upon their strong constitutions, invariably suffer more in the end than those who have had to undergo, on short potice, a seasoning fever. EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION, Yet it is dificult to conceive, at first sight, how Cape Coast Castle isso very unhealthy, especiaily to those who have fortunately their quarters at the Castle, exposed to the genial sea breeze; or to the dwellers on the nills on Con- nor’s Hill; in the cool chambers of Goy- ernment house; or at the Colontal Surveyor’s offices, They are wonderfully exempted from fever, I admit, and so was I while I enjoyed the refreshing sea breezes; hut owing to the crowded state of the Castle, and the continual arrival of new people, I was obliged to seek quarters clse- where, and as few eligibie quarters offered, I sought a house in one of the valleys between the hills in the native quarter. Through this hot, op- pressive valley, a mere thread of a rivulet meanders sluggishly trom the base of Connor's Hill to the beach near the cape. On its banks a thin greenish scum rests, slightly covering the earth. In front of my house, close by the stream, is @ grove of palm trees. Under the cool damp shade the humid atmosphere has begotten the malar- tous iungii which cover the sol as with a green veil. A little to the left of the palm grove, nut 100 yards from my house, there 1s a deep excavation abont 30 feet tn diame- eter, and lower than the lazy little rivulet, slow moving by its mouth. The excavation has drained itself full of water. The surface of the excavation, now a pona, is covered over with weeds and plants. Out of this pond, the sluggish little stream, the slime under the paim grove, is exhaled every evening and throughout the night the miasma, What follows? What followed with me after com- ing to live in the neighborhood answers the ques- tion, On the second day I was ill with fever; on the third day my white servant had an attack; on the fourth my native cook came to my bedside with swimming eyes and throbbing forehead to ask for medicine. The fever has departed again and left us all with only tts bitter memories, With abated energies and strength, with frames susceptible to a new attack of the disease when it has once more gathered force suficient to be aggressive. When I sammon resolution to leave the fetid valley for the heights crowned by the government offices my lungs inhale new life from the pure sea breezes Which are constantly waited ashore from the wide Western Ocean, and a spas- modic energy 18 felt for a time, until the stagnant ‘Vapors of the valley where I live shall sap and de- Stroy it again and lay me once more prostrate, INSTANT AGGRAVATIONS, In addition to the valley, with its filth, which poisons the whole of Cape Coast, the late rains have demolished over 800 mud-built houses, which crushed to death, as they fell on the startled occu- pants, about $0 human beings, and what the mud | huts buried beside is not known, But the ruined heaps ure very suggestive as you look at them with eyes constantiy seeking for the causes of the disease which hus yiven Cape Coast its unenviable reputation. ‘Though you would’ hardly hazard the statement that death lurks under the brown ruins in the shape of putrid garbage and corrupting hu- manity, yet 1 know it would make one {eel more comfortable if the ruins were cleared away and the spaces given up to light and air, Noone can deny that the sanitary condition of the place ‘Would be improved, On a hill proudly rising above the bush-clad ter. raves and hollows in its neighborhood behind Cape Coast stands Prospect Mouse, whence your eye may command quite an extensive view. The ‘whole town of Cape Coast seems to slumber at mid- day in a warm haze which floats above it, Fort William stands silent and sentry-like before Pros- pect House as the stranger looks toward the Ocean, Victoria Tower, away to whe right, seems solitary and alone, and Connor's Hill to the left, during the hot hours of day, crowded as it ts with white tents, looks deserted, ‘The view from Pros- pect Mouse, thea, is worth secing, and one would imagine that when the breeze biows stronger as doy declines the verandah of Prosnect House | 2491 NEW YORK HERALD, MOND Would pe very enjoyable. Yet, strange 10 say, Prospect House crowning the hit! behind the town has been proved to be very unhealthy. Every inmate of it since the landing of Sir Garnet Wolseley has been said prostrate through fever. The cause of it lies in the bush-choked ho‘lows around it and the fetid valley which runs a straight course from the foot of Prospect Hill to the beach. he wind bears on its wings the ex- halations an@ drops the germs of disease with Which its wings are clogged right at the portals nd on the verandahs of the house, and human lungs respire and inhale the poisoned air. Major Russell, who occupies the house with other officers, seems to have been a favored child, He is tall, stalwart and strong, and when he landed was a very picture of robust manhood. He was happy at the prospect of living at Prospect House. Men envied him the breezy height which seemed to insure health, and said, “What a lucky fellow!” Of ail the officers which the steamer Am- briz brought to Jape Coast with Sir Garnet Major Russell suffered from fever first. HOSPITALS, Already the hospital ship, the transport Simoon, has "been the residence of many a fever-stricken patient, Every man, however, confessing to 111 health is not suffering from fever. The disease in some cases manifests itself in severe attacks of dysentery, and three officers of the staif are at present laid up With this sickness on the Simoon— Captains Buller, McAlmont and Charteris. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY, What is the element which produces so much sickness among Europeans in Alrica? Opinions are divided, Some doctors say it is the water; some say itis the’ poison exhaled from stagnant water; while others again declare it to be a deficiency of ozone in the atmos- phere to disinfect the malaria, It has been proved that if a man spent twelve hours in a@ hotbed of malaria and lived the next twelve hours where the ozone is pretty, well developed that the quantity of ozone innaled into the lungs would be sufficient to neutralize the malaria taken into the system. When a person cannot remove so quickly into an ozonic atmosphere twenty grains of quinine should be taken, which is said to contain tie same properties, I have not the slightest doubt myself but that the scientists are correct, and that the quantity of ozone in an atmosphere should te seriously considered by people when about to choose permanent residences. Fortunately this is easy to discover by an ozonometer, which, when it indicated over 80 degrees in the atmosphere, the resident might accept the comfortable assurance that if the malaria was not also in excess the intending resident might enjoy tolerably good health, But what can the traveller or the soldier effect in the way of preserving himself irom a deficiency of ozone? Whatcan we do on this expedition to ? What can the traveller in the wilds do? What comfort could be found by the traveller reading in his ozonometer, maximum of ozoue during the day, two degrees; maximum during night, one degree ? He must do as others have done before him, “grin and bear it and take quinine.’ Do you who live in healthy countries, who are able to preserve your health by aiair amount of exercise and a litiie attention to diet, realize what it is to be constantly sufier- ing irom iever, to bear about with you the seeds of that which may at any moment lay you prostrate in delirium, to being per- petually anxious about the due taking of quinine and cathartics? Our condition Is best described by the melancholy reply given to the traveller when crossing the Pontine Marshes:— “Nous ne vivons pas; nous mourons.”? “We do not live; we die.” At a town on this coast where statistics are kept within eight years the deaths numbered 1,649, while the births were only 812, showing that the deatas exceeded the births by 837. These people, with the poor marines who lately went into action 105 strong and returned aboard ship under 25 strong, might well say with us who have come to the Gold Coast, “WE DO NOT LIVE; WE DIE.” ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT, A Result of the Panic. Emmanuel Bengen was held, in default of $5,000 bail, yesterday, by Justice Otterbourg, charged with stealing $2,200 from Mary Tisch, of No. 84 Sheritf street. ‘The facts of the case are these:—During the late panic Mrs. Fisch drew al! her money, amounting to $2,200, from the Bowery Savings Bank, thinking it would be safer in her pocket- book at home. Her husband and herself keep a grocery store at No. 84 Sheriff street, and occupy a room off the store as a sleeping apartment, The money was all placed carefully in a pocketbook and deposited in a bureau drawer. Mrs. Tisch says that the prisoner was the only person who knew of their keeping so large a sum of money constantly in the house. He keeps a cigar manutactory in the same building, and fre- quently passed in and out of their back room. On last Monday, the 8th inst., at three o’clock, Mrs, ‘Tisch last looked on her money, and at nine o’clock the same evening it had vanished, Her husband had been out on business during the evening, and Bengen had gone into her back room to get a match about five o’clock in the evening. she is positive that no one else entered that room that evening but the prisoner, and that the money was there When he entered. The matchbox was minecdeon the bureau where the money was de- osited. R Officer O'Connor, of the Eleventh precinct, has been working up the case for the past week with & view towards getting evidence against Bengen, who was suspected of the theft, The prisoner denies all piace but Justice Otierbourg decided to hol bau. of the larceny ; id him in $5,000 A Burglar Caught in the Act. Last night, at a late hour, Officer John Wood, of the Seventeenth precinct, saw the cellar door of the liquor store No. 147 First avenue, owned by James Kelly, partially open. He entered quietly, and caught James McBride with about $50 worth ol wines and Aes ee up ready for removal. csride, Who gave his address as No. 438 East Ninth street, was committed in $1,000 batl by Justice Otterbourg yesterday. He could not ac- count for his preseaoce in the store, and the celiar door was found to have been forced with a jimmy. COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.

WORKINGMEN Il CINCINEATL Alorge and Excited Demonstration—Demand Upon the City Government for Work— the New York Resolutions Eu- dorsed—Opinion of the Press, Cincinnati, Dec. 14, 1873. A very large and excited meeting of working- men was held in Arbeiter Hall, over the Rhine, last night, tor the parpose of taking action on the stagnant industries. A pedier by the name of Haller was called to the chair, and STIRRED UP THE PASSIONS AND PREJUDICES of the crowd by telling them with bitter emphasis that the rich would not help them, but ex- pected them to toil on until old age, when they would be leit to die in the poor house, Look,” said he, “how it is in the world to-day. Men who work live in hovels; men who do nothing live in palaces, The rich tell you that it $ the beer you drink that causes your poverty, and call you extravagant tor drinking the simple glass that sustains you in your daily toil, while they grovel in luxury and indulge in costly wines and oyster suppers, The time has come when you should take hold of this matter and comprehend what measures it 18 necessary to adopt to gain your rights,” A FIERY YOUNG MAN took up the cry next, and shrieked out that every- body present had suffered from the oppression of capital, The monopolists had grown rich from the sweat of the poor man’s brow, but they didn’t intend to stanfl it any longer, They were not going to die of starvation. There was an alter- native (the only one leit), and that was to take up arms unless their demands were acceded to by the rich corporatious. Letter dle with arms in their hands than to die of starvation, These incendiary sentiments were received with roaring thunders of applause. A STRING OF RESOLUTIONS were next read, to the effect that the city was bound to find eae amen for everybody who wanted it, and that the city government be re- quired to find work at $1 50 per day of elgnt hours. ‘The resolution aiso condemned the officials who cut down the price oi city labor trom $2 to $1 25 per day, and provided tor a workingmen’s proces- sion through the city to-morrow to the Mayor’s office, where employment will be jormaily demanded, and the New York reso- lutions were adopted with a howl of ap- probation with the amendment, “Give us work or a remission of three months’ rent.” The city sow houses were denounced and the newspapers hick advocate any cutting down of wages. THE PEDLER WOUND UP THE PROCEEDINGS with a howling speech, as tollows:—‘Is it only the poor that shall suffer in this crisis, while the rich nabobs draw back from us and show just what they are willing to give? Is the condition of the laboring classes of the country to become what it isin Europe? I sayno, I say the laboring man shall not be the first to be struck by the storm of the present panic; that he shall not be the only sufferer; that his labor is worth as much now as it ever was, and must not be cheapened to him and his family because labor Is so plenty; and I say to the journal that attempts this’ that those who would make sheep and cattle of us, to be bought and market—who are against the laboring classes and their interests, should receive the anathemas of the workingmen from one end of the country to the other. Let these journals, these oificers, un- derstand from you that the first vote you get at them will repudiate such doctrine and leave that kind of cattle out in the cold. I say to you, work- ingmen, that “9 have the power in your own Lands it you will only use it. You have the right to take the government by the handle, You have the votes to do it, and hereafter when you see men who are opposed to labor and in favor of cap- ital, use your power against them, and when you suoscribe for papers see to it aud take papers that support your interests and not those that go against you. NEWSPAPER OPINION OF THE MEETING. The Commercial, commenting upon this demon- stration to-day, says:—“We do not believe work- ingmen have much to do with the movement that would force the city to give out large jobs where there is nothing to do, and pay wages at the high- est trades union standard forornamental industry. Some of the old municipal thieves are getting up the row. ‘they want work cut out, not that em- ployment may be given the destitute, but t&at the profilgate may have an old-fashioned season of pilfering.” LABOR SITUATION IN NEWARK. Trade Slightly Picking Up—Working- men Still Idie and Crying for “Bread, Blood or Work”—The Swindling Con. tractors’ Ring Denounced. There has been manifest during the week just closed a slight improvement in the manulacturing trades of Newark, which, however, is probably due toadesire on the part of manutacturers to do something for their needy hands rather than any real increase in business. Nobody indulges the hope that there will be any great improvement for the better before spring, unless something extra. ordinary should turn up, such as a brush with Cuba or something similar. Meanwhile the idle working- men are beginning to feel the pinch of privation and a starvation prospect before them, and, con- sequently, are making themselves heard in the community through the medium of public meet- ings. ‘They have held several meetings, at which e CONTRACTORS’ RING WAS SEVERELY DENOUNCED, and a generul demand made for the entire abol- ishment of the system of giving out contracts by the city. In place ofthe system it is urged, with equal unanimity, that the city act as its own con- tractor, lay out the work on public improvements, employ the men to do it and pay them itself. Itis urged, in a word, that the city do its sewer and street work just as such work is done in Boston. In this matter the idle workmen have certainly struck a popular.chord. For the past four or five years the majority of contractors have done their ‘work 80 shamefully and swindled the people out of millions of dollars 80 barefacedly, with the con- nivance of certain city officials, that the people are as ripe for a change of system as they are for A THOROUGH EXPOSURE OF THE FRAUDS, which exposure there is some hope of obtaining through the next Grand Jury and the next term of court. There are good grounds for believing that ita thorough investigation ts had more than one past ana present city official will be made to realize Ubat honesty is the best policy. At a meeting of West Newark workingmen, held on Friday night, Mr. Caffrey, who claims to represent 5,000 working- men, characterized the contractors as life blood suckers of the workingmen. After setting forth the fact that the Council could do away with the contract system he said they would demand the change proposed, and then BRAND AND TURN OUT tie Aldermen who dared to vote against the meas- ure, Another speaker declared the contractors robbed the poor man of his rights, his children of shoes, and the dying of necessaries, Another speaker, @ mason hamed Dolan, said he was ready to sweep the streets at fair prices, “Workingmen,’’ said he, “don’t want charity, but work. Certain parties,” continued he, “have money and won't levitout. It isspeculation, Itis to rob mammy, Tob daddy, and God help everybody. No man will lay down and‘starve. Hunger will go through a stone wall. I don’t advocate force, but before I will see my family hungry I will help myself.” The Meeting effected a coalition with the representa- tives of the mass mecting at Military Park, at which the ery was, “Bread, blood or work !"* THE POOR OF JERSEY CITY. hatte What Is Being Done to Alleviate Their Condition=The Needs of Police and Firemen—Hoboken in the Foreground. The measures taken to meet distress in Jersey City are highly creditable to the charitable and generous people of that community. The Pavonia Club opened @ soup house in Grove street yester- day morning. The Young Men’s Christian Associ- ation have opened a soup house at Kepler's Market, and hunareds of poor people have already availed themselves of the assistance there tendered them. The sewing societies of St. Michael's and St. Mary’s parishes, especially the former, have stccecded beyond all ex- pectation. Committees are appointed to collect money and clothing throughout these parishes, and the collections have been comparatively munificent, An extra supply of coal has been le{t at the disposal of the Overseer of the Poor for distribution among the needy. The Jersey City Schuetzen Corps, of which Hermann Schroeder is captain, will ‘ive @ bail at Cooper Hall on the 13th of Sinuaty, the proceeds to be applied to the fund for the poor. The Knights of the Round fre engaged in arranging for a dramatic enter- tainment on a large scale for the same object. The liberal and humane policy adopted by the Erie and Pennsylvania Ratiroad compantes in retaining their full start of employés and the evidence of re- turning activity at most of the factories give ho| that thore wil! be no case of actual destitution. The example set by the Schuetzen Corps might be followed by many other clubs and associations at Cooper Hall and elsewhere. Such entertainments would be all the more enjoyable from the consider- ation that the prayers of the widow and the orphan ascend daily in this trying season lor their benefactors. | The joard of iblic | Worke hava ra ay the and made a reduction of wages to $1 2% per day.

Consecration of Hishop Cheney in Christ Chureh, Chicago—Intense In- terest in the Ceremony—Scrmon by Bishop Cummins on the New Faith Public Opinion on Mr. Cheney’s Posi- tion. Cuicaco, Dec, 14, 1873, Intense interest has been created in religious circles of this city to-day by the consecration of the Rev. Charles Edward Cheney, rector of Christ chureh, a8 Associate Bishop of the new Reformed Episcopal Church, No event in eccleslastical affairs for months past has created such a pro- found sensation, Mr, Cheney still insisting that ne 1s presbyter of a Protestant Episcopal church while accepting the oflice of Bishop of another or- ganization. The congregation of Christ Churen have also not oMcially severed their connection with the Episcopal Church, the vestry having called no meeting at whick the project of formally joining the new Church could be discussed. THE EXCITEMENT 1S INTENSIFIED by the fact that Mr. Melville W. Fulier, coun- sel for Mr. Cheney, in the suit brought by Bishop Whitehouse, of the see of Illinois, yesterday filed a@reply to the supplemental bill recently entered by the Bishop. This additional bill claims that to the other reasons formally alleged why Mr. Cheney should ve ousted from the position of rector of Christ Church, and why the property should revert to the Protestant Episcopal Church, is now added the conclusive one that Cheney hds publicly accepted high position in another religious organization. The arguments on tne motion to re ject the supplemental bill, which is alleged to set up anew and different case from the original bill upou new matter, will be heard at the close of the present week. Mr. Fuller states that the dispute will be fought out to its bitter end, but public sentiment is decidedly opposed to Cheney on this point and much angry comment is made, especially by Episco- palians, on his double dealing in endeavoring to preserve relationship to two distinct religious or- ganizations at one time. THE MORNING SERVICE, This morniag’s ceremony of ordination was an- nounced to commence at eleven o’clock, by which time Christ Church was crowded to suffocation by members of the regular congregation and sight- seers representing all religious denominations. Extra precautions were taken to preserve quietude and order throughout the vast audience, At the commencement of the service Mr. Cheney ap- peared in the cnancel, looking jubilant and deter- mined, and at his side appeared the Figpt Rev. George D. Cummins, of New York; Rev. Marshall Smith and Rev, Mason Gallagher, of Passaic, N. J.; Rev. B. B. Seacock, of New York city; Rev. W. V. Feltwell, of West Farms, N. Y., aud Rev. Charles H. Tucker, of St. George’s chapel, of this city, BISHOP CUMMINS’ SERMON. At the close of the regular service, alter the col- lect, Bishop Cummins preacaed, ‘taking as bis text the first four verses of the fifth chapter of the First Epistle of St. Peter. In the course of the discourse, occupying over an hour in delivery, he scussed the position and tenets of the new Church, the office of bishop and the future of the Church. He assailed the baptismal service of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and pointed out changes which had been made in the Prayer Book. The new Church was not destructive, the new Church was not even building anew; it’ was standing on the old Episcopal faith in tts original purity and simplicity. They were engaged in restoring the old faith, the episcopacy of the second century. not of the third, much less of the fourth century— the episcopacy of Ignatius and not o! Cyprian. Bishop Cummins reierred at length to the cere- mony of consecration, urging the view that the material thing was the election of Bishop by the people and not the mere jorm of ordination, He compared the consecration of a bishop to the swearing in of the President, and contended that election by the people in the one case and election by the Church in the other formed the real basis of official character and not the mere ceremony ot inauguration or consecration. The new Church realized the glorious idea of Christian fellowship, for its pulpits would be open to all evangelical ministers. In closing, the Bishop addressed his remarks to Mr. Cheney, urging him iorward in his new work. THE CEREMONY OF CONSFCRATION Was then proceeded with. Bishop Cummins, who Was arrayed in his primate’s robes. took up his po- sition on the steps of the altar, Mr. Cheney stand- ing in front, with his back to the congregation. The other clergymen mentioned were grouped around, The consecration was then proceeded with, according to the manner prescribed and the form adopted at the recent convention of the Re- formed Church in New York. To the several in- terrogatories as to his fitness and earnestness, Mr. Cheney replied in stated manner:—“i am so per- suadea and determined by God's grace.”’ A tes- timonial, signed ,by Herbert 1. Turner, Secretary of the New York Convention, that Mr. Cheney had been duly elected Bishop, aha anotner signed by Bishop Cummins, several presbyters and many of the leading members of Mr, Cheney’s congregation as to his pure and blameless life, were read. ‘Then Bishop Cummins and three of the presbyters present laid their hands on the head of Mr. Cheney, who knelt beiore them. the Bishop sa ing:—“iake thou authority to execute the ottice and work of a bishop in the Churen of God, now committed unto thee by the imposition of our hands, in the name of the Father and of the Son and oi the Holy Ghost. Amen.” The communion service followed, hundreds of persons partaking Of the sacrament, EVENING SERVICE. This evening Bishop Cummins discoursed on the relations of the Reiormed Episcopal Charch to other churches, Another immense congregation was present. The day has been one of intense re- ligious excitement throughout. ANOTHER DEATH IN THE TOMB3 Ann Mitchell, @ woman about 30 years of age, re- siding at No, 57% Greenwich street, was brought before Judge Morgan, at the Tombs, Saturday last, ona charge of intoxication. When she was ar- rested she gave her name.as Maria Jones, and sie had her child, @ pretty little one, about three years of age, with her. The Judge committed Ann for six months and placed her under $300 bail. The child ‘was sent down stairs with her mother, and com- mitted to the care of the Commissioners of Chari- ties and Correction, Shortly after her entrance into the Prison Ann Mitchell was setzed with con- vulsions and died yesterday morning about eleven o’clock. Dr. Breher, the Tombs physician, attended her, and yesterday gave a certilicate of death from “chronic alconolism.’? MURDER ON NEWTOWN OREEK, At about seven o'clock on Saturday night, James McGrath, a night watchman, employed by Frank Pidgeon, a contractor on Newtown Creek, heard ascuMe on a canal boat lying at the foot of Uak- land street, Greenpoint. During the quarrel McGrath heard the words, “God d—m you, get off,” and almost immediately after heard @ splash in the water, and the exclam- ation, as if trom some person in agony, of *O my God," repeated three times, when ail became still, McGrath went to summon assistance, when, crossing lot in the vicinity, he met John Wilson, the captain of the canal boat, and believing that he knew something of the difficulty, detatned him until OMcer Whalen, of the Seventh precinct, came up, When he was given into custody, Thomas Hunt and Bryan Sullivan, two boatmen, providing themselves With grappling tmplements, commenced @ search of the creek and at about eight o'clock yesterday morning the body of a man Was brought ashore, which was recognized as that of Edwi Mewoldrick, a laborer, about 40 years old, well known in that part of Greenpoint where the tragedy took place, John Wilson, the captain of the barge, says that he and MeGoxirick, who had been working for him, had been drinking pretty hard ail day, and that both were weil under the influence of liquor, and at four o'clock in the afternoon he laid dowa to sieep, telling McGoldrick to wake him at six o'clock, that about seven o'clock he woke up and found MeGoldrick gone. He most emphatically de- nies any knowledge of the manner of McGoldric! death and suys he had no quarrel with him, Joroner Whitehill will hold an inquest, when all laboring baudg | the acts will probably be brought out 5 s So Ee ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Was He an Infidel and Bern Out of Wedicck ? A Bemarkable Lecture by His Late Law Part- ner, Colonel Herndon, of Il'inois—An Effort to Frove That He Died an Unbeliever in the Truths of Christianity— Mrs, Lincoln’s Testimony. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 13, 1873. Colonel W. H. Herndon, late a law partner of the late President Lincoln, tus evening delivered a most remarkable lecture in this city, in answer to a lecture delivered here in July last by Rev. James A. Reed, who claimed tbat there is well authentl- cated evidence of Lincoln having been born in wedlock and being a believer in Christianity, and published tn Scribner's Monthly for duly. The jol- lowing passages contain the gist of the lecture:— Jhave never said that Mr. Lincoln had no relig- fous sentiments—no Christian sentiments. On the contrary, | admitted then and do now that Mr. Lincoln had religious opinions, ideas and sen- timents, But the declaration that Mr, Lincoln had Teligious sentiments does not meet the proposi- tion that Mr, Lincoln died a theist—an infidel—es- pecially in the orthodox sense of the term, Much “believing,” “much hearsay,” “many convic- tions,” “many changes of heart,”? much twaddie is adduced to show that Mr. Lincoln was a Christian, Proclamations of Mr. Lincoln, while President of the United States, are quoted to show that he was aChristian, Mr. Lincoln was the President of a Christian people, and he but used their ideas, lan- guage, speech and forms. SO WOULD TOM PAINE have done had he been President of this free peo- ple. Iam met with the assertion that if Mr. Lin- coin had lived he would have become an evangeli- cai Christian. No one knows this; it is mere spec- ulation, mere guessing. Again, lam met with the assertion that Mr. Lincoln’s addresses at Bible and Sunday schooi societies were eminently Christian. When a man is invited to address such societies it is implied, unless the man reserves the right to say what he pleases, that he confine himself to their ideas, notions, feelings aud philosophy, To do otherwise would be an insult and an outrage on the society. No doubt that Mr. Lincoin used polite, courteous general language on suen occasions, from which Christian inferences might be drawn. Mr. Lincoln was very politic, and a very shrewd man in some particu- jars. When he was talking to a Christian he adapted bimselfto tie Christian, When he spoke to or joked with one oi his own kind HE WAS INDECENTLY VULGAR, Hence the different opinions about Mr. Lincoin’s Christianity and vulgarity. Mr. Lincoln was chaste in his ideas and language when it was neces- sary, and when not so he was vulgar in his jokes and stories. He was at moments, as it were, @ great Christian, through politeness, courtesy or good breeding toward the delicate, tender-nerved man, the Christian, and in two minutes alter, in the absence of such men and among his own kind, the same old unbeliever. [ have witnessed this, It may be a thousand times. ‘This conduct of Mr. Lincoin was not hypocritical, but sprung from a high and tender regard for the feelings oi men. When men speek of Mr. Lincoln's re- ligious sentiments they call them his Christian sen- timents, and combine one with the other. Ihave olten and often said that Mr, Lincoln was by nature a deeply religious man, and I now repeat i, L have oiten said HE WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN, and I now repeat it. He was not an unbeliever in religion, but was as to Christianity. Mr. Lincoln was 4 theist, as said in my Abbott letter. Ihave never discussed the quesuon of MR. LINCOLN’S LEGITIMACY in writing, publicly or otherwise, and it Is proba- ble Lnever shall. Ido not think it becomes me to do so, whatever may be my opinion. 1 feel this, and I shall obey my feeling. I should not even have said what } intend to » but for Mr. Reed's lecturs I can discuss one thing, however, and it 1s thi ‘The reverend defender boidly and post- tively asserts there is “well authenticated evi- dence” of the MARRIAGE OF THOMAS LINCOLN AND NANCY HANKS, and that ic is now to be found in the hanus of Robert Lincoln; that the said record evidences, historically marked thus:—First, Dennis Haaks had it; second, Hanks gave it to J. C. Black; third, it was sent by J.C. Black, of Champaign, to Wil- Mam P. Biack, attorney at law, No. 131 Lasalle street, Chicago, and duly delivered by him to the Historical Association of Chicago, and that it thence passed into the hands of Robert Lincoln, son of Abratam Lincoln, I state on my best belief that there is NO SUCH WELL-AUTHENTICATED RECORD, showing the marriage of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, now, or ever was, in the hands of any of those gentlemen. Isaw a ieaf oi the Thomas Lincoln Bible, which Dennis Hanks tore out. The writing of the marriages, births and deaths was IN THE HANDWRITING OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, or Mostly so, asI now remember. The record was badly worn, broken up into squares of about two inches, having been doubied up and worn out taus in the pockets of some oue. I had great trouble in taking a good copy. I borrowed the record of Dennis Hanks or Mr. Chapman, his son-in-law, and while in my possession I took a copy, and, I verily believe, acorrect one. That record wholly fails to state or 10 record the marriage of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. While looking over it and copyingit L was struck with astonisiment at the omission to record the marriage of Thomas and Nancy, when | saw that most of the record, if not the Whole of it, was in the handwriting of Abra- ham Lincoln, who would have RECORDED THE MARRIAGE TF TRUE. Ithen thought that this omission was one link in the chain o1 evidence tn favor of those who thought and argued that Mr. Lincoln was illegitimate—the child of Abraham Euloe. Can the reverend gentie- man and myself be talking about two records— different and distinct ones? There is a way of nding out the truth, thas:—First, THE RECORD WAS TORN FROM A BIBLE, Second, the record 1s in the handwriting of Mr. Lincoln, or mostly it commences or opens a follow: ruary 12, 1307,"" an ‘Nancy, or Sarah Lincoln, daughter of Thomas Lincoin, was married to Aaron Grigsby August, 1836." I took a copy of this Bible sheet, this “well authenticated record,” September 9, and now have it in my hands. Isuppose these records are one and the same— identical; and, if so, I aver that the reverend gen- tleman misrepresents the record, falsitied it, for it wholly, I believe, fails to state that Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks were ever married. Letany one compare the opening and conclusion, as above given, and he Will find the record one and the same. What is more astonishing, is that the said “weil authenti- cated record” does not fail to state the marriage of Thomas Linco!n and Sarah Bush, Thomas Lin- | coln's second wife. Why not record the first marriage ? Mr. Lincoln, in that record, says:— “Abraham Lincoin, son of Thomas Lincoln aud Nancy Lincoln, was born February 12, 1809.” Again he says :—*Napcy Lincoln, wife of Thomas Lincoln." How a wife’ But the record wholly fais to record ur to state the marriage of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks—by whom, how, when, or where—u it ever took place. WAS IT BY “JUMPING THE BROOMSTICK?”? Was it by mutual consent and agreement between the two, somewhat after the jashion of the tree lovers, without form or ceremony? The gentle- man boldly asserted that there was well authentt- cated evidence of the marriage of Thomas Lincoin and Nancy Hanks Taver that there is no such record, I aver, on my belief, that the gentleman misstates the record. Returning to the rejigion of the dead President, the lecturer said :—I aiirm that MR. LINCOLN DIED AN UNBELIEVER— was not an evangelical Christian. The lecturer atirms that Mr. Lincoln was a believer in the Christian religion; was, as it were. an orthodox Christian, One side of this question can be proved, It is admitted on all hands that Mr. Lincoln once was an intdel, that he wrote a small book, or essay, oF pamphiet against Christianity, and that he continued an unbeliever until late in Ife, Colouel Herndon here, at considerable length, detaijed the testimony o! Mr. Stuart to show that Dr, Smith tried to convert Lincoln, and that Colonel James H, Matheny had often toid him (Herndon) that MR. LINCOLN WAS AN INFIDEL, He admits this in his letter to Mr. Reed. Mr, Ma- theny denies nothing in this note—adinits its cor- rectness. He never intimated in that or any other conversation with me thay he believed that Mr. Boee. ; ee ue ar ne a piriaaans What joes Mr. Matheny say in his letter to Mr. show that Mr. Lincoin in bea HIS LATER LIVE BECAME A CHRISTIAN? He says :—*l beiteve he was a very different man in his later life, and (aiter) investigating the subject he was a firm believer in the Christian religion.” Nottce careftlly the words of Colonel Matheny. lone! 8 he believes that Mr. Lincolt, i, after life—late in life—became and was a firm believer im the Christian religion. 1 believe that Mr Linclon did not late in lite become a firm believer in the Christian religiot What! Mr. Lincoln discard his logical faculties and reason with the heart! What! Mr. Lincoln believe that Jesus was the Christ of God, the truly and only begotten | Son of Him—as the Christian creed contends! What! Mr. Lincoln believe that the New Testament was and is Of special divine authority, and fully and ti failioy inspired, as the Christian world contends! What 4 in abandon lus life-long ideas of tulversak eterno) ud absolute awa. and captend ts tnat the New Testament 1s any more inspired than Homer’s , than Milton's “Paradise Lost,” than Shakespeare, than his own eloquent and inspired oration at Gettysburg! What, in short, Mr. Lin- coln believe that the great Creator had connection through the form or instrumentality of @ shadow with a Jewish girl! BLASPHEMY! These things must be believed and acknowledged in order to be a Christian, After quoting opinions of various persons t@ show that Mr, LINCOLN EXPERIENCED NO CHANGE OP Herndon quotes a conversation, he had with Lincoln atter her husband’s aeath:—“Mr. Lincoln had no hope and no faith in the usual of thousands, Mr. Lincoin’s maxim and. phil were, ‘What is to be will be, and no cares ers) Of ours can arrest the decree,’ Mr Lincoim never joined any church, He was @ religious mam always, as I think, He first th it—to say think— about thts sabject when Willie died—never before. He read the Bible a good deal about 1864. He felé religious, more than ever before, about the time he went to Gettysburg. Mr. Lincoln was nota tech= nical Christian. * * * I rold him about Seward’s intention. He said in reply, ‘I shall rule myseli— shail per my own Conscience and follow God in it 7 ke, ‘The lecturer concinded as follows:—One wor@ concerning this discussion about MR. LINCOLN'S CHRISTIAN VIEWS, It is important in this—nrst, it settles a histori fact; second, it makes it possible to write a true history of aman tree from the fear of fire and stake; third, It assures the reading world that the life of Mr. Lincoln will ve trnly written; fourth, i6 will be @ Warning forever to all untrue meg that life they have lived will be di ez out to public view; fifch, it should convince the Christian pulpit and press that it is impossible 1m this day and generation, at least in America, to daub up sin and make a hero out of & fool, a knave or ® Villain, which Mr. Lincoln was not; some true spirit will drag the {rand and lie out to the light of day; sixth, !ts tendexrcies will be to arrest and put a stop to romantic biographies, and now Jet it be written in hjstory and on Mr, Lincoln’s tomb, ‘He died an uibeliever.” POOR LITTLE PARIAHS. A Specimen of the Causes That Produce Them-« A Street Urchin Clubbed to Insensie bility by a Policeman—Story of Three Little Newsboys. “Go on, now, or i'll club the whole head off o’ you!” There are, probably, not many persons who have been resident a few weeks in this metropolis who have not heard this exclamatory threat, and the chances are that a politeman, in nine cases out of ten, is the individual who utters this very unofficial and usually cowardly promise. Almost every citie zen who hag ever been present where a crowd was assembled knows what itis to be in the front rank of that crowd and to be commanded by & patrolman, with manner and words which are both insulting, to “Stand back,’ and, because of failure to press back the crowd in the rear, to be rammed ana butted with the point of @ locust baton until the result is severe pam ond undeserved punishment. It 1s useless 1m such cases to attempt to explain to the energetic brute in untiorm, for in the boorish igs norance which is the especial quality of nine out of ten members of the force your explanation is at once construed as resistance, the citizen is seized by the collar, the club is brought within smelling distance, aud the officer whose duty it 1s to pre- serve the peace is at once transformed into the disorderly ruffian, He loses his temper, so that na cannot pronounce the syllables of the abuse ha utters intelligently or coherently, and shrieks out, What! ya talkin’ back! G’wan now, or Vil make youa sick man;’’ and, with his feet braced agains the pavement, he pushes the citizen back as though he meant to break him in two, Any further word or expostulation by the unhappy citizen leads to his summary arrest, and as THE IRASCIBLE, UNIFORMED “THUG"? carries oif his prisoner, he usually avails himself of the opportunity to Injorm the captive, “I’ve had me eye on you this long time,” witha view to ime pressing him with his own lar reaching detective cence. As he arraigns his prey before the punctilious captain or sergeant at the desk of the Station house (who has probably misspelled every other word of a despatch just telegraphed to head- quarters), he tells the sergeant, “Tus man was sted me, and when I told him to blow the top o’ me head off.” 88 here also. The cap- or sergeant is one of the omnis- sort also, who would be afraid c it would injure his standing to confess that he did. not know every mau, aud the citizen goes into the cells with ali the chroutc “bummers” and loafers of the precinct. The writer has on many occasion’ seen an ofticer club a person who had not raised a finger of resistance, aud once saw a young man brutally beaten in City Hall place wlien he had done nothing wrong, but had, in fact, been assailed by two or three other young men, ‘The officer rushed around the corner tn time to see and seize the victim, while the guilty ones ran away, and ag the youth protested that he had been ill-used, the reporter being also a witness of the fact, the square jawed oficial rough clubbed the young man until he cried out, “My God, don’t kill me.” The reporter attempted to explain to the otticer the situation of afuirs; but the oficer, ina furious rage, yelled, “What the hell do you want? go Way (mm me, uniess you want some!” The re- |e didn't want any, but the oMcer would have eon shot, sure, if he had given any. An attempt subsequently made to get tnto the station house andexplain there was iutile, jor substantially the Same reasons, However, this “clubbing” dexter. ousness 13 an acknowledged feature of the New Yor ‘cops,’ and it seems useless to provest against it, but it fs not often that A MERE CHILD 13 THE VICTIM of this rufflanism under the mask of official guise. On Friday night last James McCormick, a lad of about 13 or 14 years of age, residing at No. 119 Bax- ter street, was shamelessly beaten by Orlicer Monahan, of the Sixth precinct, and yesterday the little feliow’s head had three strips of healing eras? on it to cover the wound inficted. James had two young companions, John McMahon and Patrick Manney, with him atthe time, who saw the entire transaction, and the reporter conversed with them on Saturday, with the following resuis of information :— “Now, Jimmy, tell me all about the matter, where you live, id Who was with you, and tell me what you had done. I want you to teil me nothing but what is tru “Yes, sir,’ said the lad, as he pulled of his soiled and much worn cap, “{ got no jader nor mudder; dey’re dead; an’ I make me livin’ sellin? evenin’ papers.
