IN THE BROOKLYN OBUROHES, Plymouth Church, ‘Thanksgiving Day brought to Plymouth church a much larger congregation than usually gathers to- gether there on this annual celeoration. The house was so well filled that nearly every seat was ocoupied. Mr. Beecher preached one of his char- acteristic discourses, in which comments on rell- gion, politics and social life were so happily blended as to call fort demonstrative approval, that took the shape of applause and cheers from the audience. The text selected was the fourth chapter of the first epistie of Corinthians, the nineteenth and twentieth verses:—“But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and will know, not the speech of them which are puifed up, but the power; for the Kingdom of God ts not in word, butin power.” Mr. Beecher said that this was not a mere accidental statement of Paul’s, for in the fourth verse of the secona chapter were these words :—‘‘And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of tne spirit and of power.” It ‘Was evident that the apostle meant by “the word” the whole system of teaching. Now the Thesaa- lonian Church had apprehended the mode of the great civilization, The Grecian civilization was remarkable for intellectual development to a larger extent than ever before, and to some extent than has ever been since. They had Bet before them the great outline of the civilized and material world ag science and the esthetic system of the globe. They were advanced in ethics but not in wsthetics. The apostle makes & large distinction between the kingdom of God and the kingaom of intellectua, Statement. He regarded this as secondary and instrumental. Tne kingdom of God did not Consist in these truths, but in the essential and fundamental condition of the human mind. The Kingdom of Goa was found in man and notin those things that have been set up to influence men. We are not to understand that we are to regard this teaching with indifference, or to re- gard the statements of the truth with indifference, but that the results to be sought and the actual gain of such results are of far more tmportance, and were not to be the gauge of the growth and condition of the kingdom of God. CONDITION OF CHRISTIANITY. To-day I will look at the mstory and condition of the world with regard to the question whether ita present condition, as a matter of experience is one Of bopetuiness or despondency in this direc- tion. In measuriug the world 1 shall use the Apostle’s measure. It is certainly use jul to know how many churches have been built; how many ministers have been settled; how many «missionaries have gone forth; how many converts Pave been added to the churches; how many Bibles have deen distrinuted; how many tracts have been sent orth as winged messengers? All these things are supposed to be imstructive one ‘way or the other, But could any man tell the condition of agricutture in the United States by joing into an agricultural warehouse and agcer- ing how many ploughs had been made during the year? You must, toform an estimate, have an actual inspection of the tarms, and the gardens, Quantity not only, eitber, but quality must be considered, for it 1s quality that is the wealth producing power of the soli. So, in looking out on the condition of the world, Lregard churches, and all schools, and books as instructors, But the question 1s not how many instruments had been created, but wnat upon the whole has ‘been the product and the tendency of so many agencies, and which have beea active tor so many | centuries; what has the power done among the civilized nations o1 the world; what is the dyna. mic condition of the intellect and moral sense of Christendom. WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE, Above all other periods in the history of this | ‘world this is the age of great intelligence, It may be said to be an age of scientific fervor. The na- ons are aroused to scientitic zeal, There is a vast increase not simply of the tacts known, but of the power to know—an educated tendency to investi- gate and determine. There is a recognition of the | wer Of intelligence such as bas never been | ‘nown in any other period of the history of the ‘world. HOW THE WORLD IS GOVERNED. In government, it 1s not so long ago that it was force and then cunning that were tne factors of government. To-day all governments feel that their strength ts to make their people totelligent, Education makes strong men for the State, for the army, and education makes stronger men to make men for the treasury. Such meu are more easily governed if they are governed rightly. The | desire for knowledge has increasea among the | common people to an extent that has never been known before. The ignorant mass are saying we shall die ignorant but our children shall not, We | are beginning to find, aiter 2,000 years, that truth | in Obrist shall make us free. THE MORAL SENSE, Let us look av the other factor of which he | spoke—the moral sense, or the dynamic condition or moral sense of the human brain. We are liabie to mistake here in looking at the “word,” and not at the “power.” Mr. Beecher here spoke of the various meauings attacted to the word “revela- tion.” He said:—Revelation is only the unlold- iog of human life irom human experience. All theology is mental philosophy. We cannot under- stand God except as a great mind. We understand the qualities of truth in men and then attribute them to God and give them infinite proportions. Thereiore, every considerable advance in the knowledge of man’s mind will be a disturbing force upon theology. It must be so. Every- body now seems to be alarmed because truth 1s shattered. You must remember that this is what takes place every year in the vegetable world. I go out in June, when the trees are growing ana the outside bark ts cracking; what is it saying to the bark but “get out of the way.”’ So, when men | are learning higher truths, a larger and more | triumphant form ot statement, they say to those earlier truths, “get out of the a Churches that are cramped, creed bound and fuil of lice and | Vermin must get out of the way. Vitality is tue best medicine, as well as the best sense. (Ap- Plause.) So churches and theology must conform themselves to a larger statement of truth and | Justice from the topmost round to the very bottom, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. LbtMieve in the Pope, in archbishops, the bishops, tu ail hia priests, in all bis deacons, in all the sys- toms of degrading weakness that have come down in such plenitude {rom the meutmvai ages that have served to furnish a Roman temple. ButI deny their right to put their priests upon me when they tell me to worship Jupiter when he has been smoothed out into a Pope, or to worship Venus Wien they call her the Virgin Mary. ‘hen all these things are put upon me with “Thus saith the Lord,” then and then only does it concern me. (Applause. ) WHAT A SAPPY TREE ROOT DID. The {deal vi Manhood was never higher than it | is to-day; never higher than it is to-day in Christendom. We have to-day a conception of the ideal Man that reaches down to the bottom of so- ciety. The foundation of moral Christianity in the world is to be jaid down in the body. if regener- ation has got a great deal to do generation has got much todo. There must be to have a higher order of civilization a higher organization of the race. There is no reason why men should be born with @ six-incn circumference of the head. For the very beginning of the new heavens and a new earth there is needed new men that shall stand a mental existence of mental strife. Society is fuil of disturbances, truths that are trying to develop themselves, I remember noticing, not far from here, a tree with a small sappy root; I watched the growtn of tnat tree, and by and by the large flag stones that pressed down the roots were raised, and they continued to rise, until this little suppy root had so distarbed them that they Ulted the peremens, and the great stones had to be adjusted to these roots. So it is with men; you may put upon them as many fy stones a8 you please in the {orm of regulations, ‘but society will be tilted on one side unless society adjusts itself to their claims. (Cheers.) Gener- ally speaking socieiy has one gate open. Men have deen trying to get in at that gate, but they bute themselves, generally speaking, at the sides, on bid die before they find that gace again, (Ap- ause. Mr. Beecher here said, on looking at his notes, that he found that he had only got half-way through his sermon, and that he had veen talking longer than he intended. There were loud cries of “Go on!” “go on’? and he said, that ‘a ser- mon against achurch was an unequal ight, bat he would go ona hitue longer.” A UIT AT FREE LOVE. The family idea js the grand primitive institu- tion of live; it is the grand universal life. No other institution ha» awakened anything like ita streogub. it supports all those who are sprung irom the father and motner into a model common- wealta, where, by reason of the smalinesa of the number, they come witnin the sphere of @ pa- ren 10" ment that bas thas the fundamentai idea of laws within a law. Now, | find in this & revetation above all revelation, not of an innu- merable company of angels, o1 archangels, of sera- phims, not @ <drauwatic representauon of power; but in this family idea God re- veals ‘aumselt, and in His ‘nature His mode of governing the world, and in the condition of the lather and the mother His relation thereto, You Lily destroy the whole Bible, you have yet the who jermane idea of what che Bible says in the family idea. There 1s only the one place tn the whole world in which we know what it js to gov- ern by love. In this you have the most a4 thing that was ever given to us. Now, is the family idea losing or gaining? Gaining. There have been some mischievous, icentious people w jave put forth a tage that bas regarded this view of the family as mischievous.

The power of society to move in the right direc- tion was never 80 great as itis to-day. Firat, to resist evil tendencies; second, to resist them Whenever they are lound to be tnsidiously there. | The real practical question is, What is the power of the nation when it has decided to throw off these evils? What bas been the history of this | Ration in respect to the throwing off its evils? Do you believe there ever was # day when this church was filed with regiments of soldiers going to a war? Do you realize now that its pastor ; on Thanksgiving Day trom its platform urged men to go out to fight in that war? It looks now like @& dream, thank God! Remember what we went through during that terrific four years. Kemember that this great people, east, West, north and south, submitted themselves to be taxed; rolled up debt until it looked like a mountain, The question waa once propounded, Would the nation repudiate? ‘The canningest devil that ever tempted mankind was this repudiation temptation that was at- tempted here, Look at the millions of men get- ting their bread here by daily tabor. Look at the millions of joreign born citizens here. Yet, when it Was proposed to this great nation, none were more ready than these laboring men, and these foreign born to say that the debt which was con- | tracted to save the nation from its peril must | be paid. (Loud and long continued applause.) | Was there ever a rebound in any nation that ; Showed a people to have more wealth than the | years that followed the war? What wild specuia- | Uons of interested men! That is settled; we have got over that. See what dishonesty tollowed | in the public service, Little by little society has Cischarged itself of this, The “rings’? that nave been formed during the last ten years have been | gradually broken, [t is tn the power of the com- | Inunity to see that these running sores do not be- | come ulcers. Then look at the resurrective power | of uations, Mr. Beecher concluded by sxetebing | the growth and development of the nations of | Europe under the resurrective power. Brooklyn Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was fairly filled yesterday with | listeners to the Thanksgiving sermon of Rev. T. | De Witt Talmage, wno chose his text from Psalms 26, part of the 15th verse—“My cup runneth over.” He said:—Every few years, in reference to celebrating the day of Thanksgiving, people say we have nothing to be thankful for, and this | year they refer to the state of the manufacturing imterests and to the financial troubles which, tt is asserted, are in such & condition as to bring | aboat serious apprehension for the fature. But gay we have much to be thankfal for, and, above all, for the love of Christ and for the proffer of | Heaven made to us through Him. indeed our cup runneth over, In Leg of the day the preacher said:—There is a table laid to-day which | runnetn the whole breadth of the Continent—it is a Thanksgiving table, spread with all the fulness | of the earth, witn the products of every State. There are, too, the songs Of praise offered by the nation, which crowd the celestial gates with dox- ologies until the oldest harper in heaven is at a loss to comprehend irom whence the music comes, Whatever we think of New England | theology we certainly like the New England style | of thanksgiving—Let all the nation come out with hymns of joy; let the trumpets blow; let all men praise the Lord and aay, “my cup runneth over.” Dr. Taimage then pictured in glowing terms a visit to the houses of the rich, and re- ferred to the happy manner in which the day would there be spent tn the midst of friends and relatives. He called upon them all when they sat down to their weil laden board not to forget on this day the poor who were not so blest as they, and, moreover, before drawing their knives across the sharpening steci, to offer a few words of thank- fulness to the Almighty for their blessings. Do not STUFF YOURSELVES TO REPLETION without thinking of those poor ones who are suf- fering hunger, or sit before your bright and m fire without remembering that hundreds of your fellow beings have just exhausted the last scuttle of coal and the last candle. Remember gi them but a tithe of bounty, they will be made appy. We ought to be thankful, above all, (or the at good Which was being effected by such institations as good libraries and those grander institutions of learning, our public schools, where the Bible was to be found admitted. (Applause.) He concluded by saying, When you sit down to partake of the viands and good cheer with which your boards are loaded take the cup o! thanks- giving and briag tt to your lips, and if the chalice should spill of the cloth, do not be chagrined, but our over.!? Washington Avenue Church. The announcement that the Hanson place Bap- tist church Thanksgiving services would be held with Rev. Dr. Moore’s church, and that Rev. Dr. Fulton would preach the Thanksgiving sermon, resulted in a large attendance yesterday at the morning service in the spacious edifice corner of Washington and Gates avenues, Brookiyn. Dr. Fulton took as his text the eleventh chap- ter of Deuteronomy, in which the love and service of God are incuicated in the sacred writing, witn @ plessing to those who serve Him and threats of punishment to those who forsake Hislaw. The Rev. Doctor began by calling attention to the era to God, heartfelt thanksgiving. An era of good leeling he pointed out which for the first time in a long series of years was shared in by all the States on such an occasion a8 this, a new birth of fellowship which gives us the assurance that the prayers of milhons offered up to this end are being answered. and in the restored Union we are iast becom: one people. Here he drew attention to the ar~ ticular moral of the chapter ne bad read, which, although addressed to the people of Israel, was equally applicable to us, as @ people, who, like Israel of old, are working out @ special mission and @ particular purpose, under God’s own provi- dence, That our first duty is to God we, most of us, admit, and in the manner of this day’s observance we have the largest encour- agement. It should be borne ip mind that God promises temporal as well as spiritual food vo them that serve Him. The Rev. Doctor hen referred to tue subject of education, as being the preparation to it man to enjoy this temporal good promised nim, to quality him for the dignities that may be bestowed upon him. We needea, he said, 10 meet the duties of the future, a larger education than was necessary to the discharge of duties in the past, and to direct our enterprise upon the basis of Known facts. The Doctor then branched into a politico-religious review of uhe South, referring to the odium into which the car- pet-bagger had come a8 unjust. Joseph, said he, was & carpet-bagger, but he was the salvation of Egy ‘The carpet-bagger in the South, he thought, had some such mission to reawaken the dormant energies of the people there, grown slug- gish through the effects of slavery, and stimulate industrial activity in all classea. The speaker then pronounced in favor of educated ith and specie payments. He wanted a President who would not be airaid to say whether he was in tavor of one, two or five terms, er re- viewing, then, some of the issues decided by the war, notably the closer union of the States, and pointing out that in this land of universal tolera- tion the conflict now waging in Germany had been settled two centuries ago, he concluded by a further application of the text, that if we aban- doned the service of God as He has commanded, and become a nation of Sabbath breakers, we cannot expect a conunuance of that favor now 50 aoundantly shown us. IN BROOKLYN. Never has the day set apart for the time-honored custom of returning thanks to Almighty God been better or more generally observed in Brooklyn than yesterday. The public offices, schools, count- ing houses, workshops and stores were closed upon aii sides. The houses of divine worship were open, with very few exceptions, during the forenoon, and were well attended by the people who are ‘wont to offer their prayers at their parish church. Tne ministers were eloquent as the happy occa- sion, attentive listeners, a bright and cheerful sunlight, bracing atmosphere and peace and plenty could make theni. They told the people what they had to be thankful for to God, and urged upon them the necessity, the Curistian duty o1 contributing to the wants of their tellow beings whose lot to life has not placed them above want. Generous collections were taken up in most of the places Of worship for the poor. At the Kings County Penitentiary a concrt was given atten o’cleckin the 1orenoon under the auspices Of Chaplain Boss. The convicts were present. After the musical treat they were en- tertained with a liberal repast of turkey, cran- berry sauce and pie. The indulgence did not stop here with the pri: irs, Who were permitted to talk and receive visite from their friends, At the Truant Home the boys were ieasted to their hearts’ content at the expense of the more than generous municipal ernment. At the Protestant Orphan Asylum, Atlantic avenaa. there Was bounteous repast of turkey served; the Catholic orphans were entertained liberally ac their asylum; the d and indigent females were feted at their home on Washington avenue; as were also the boys at St. Vin- cent’s Home, Popiar street; the inmates of Memorial Home for Consumptives, Seventh avenue; of the Inebriate’s Home, Fort Ham- ton; Industrial School and Home for Destitute Children, Butler street; Home for Friendiess Women and Children, Concord street; Home tor Aged Poor of both sexes, Chestnut street, and the House of the Good Shepherd, Atiantic avenue, Contrary to expectation there was no extra provender provided by the Board of Commissioners ital, Almshouse, Nursery or Lunatic Asylum. os ed murray, of the Poorhouse, however, took pity upon the sorrows of the jorlorn paupers, who Rad no brighter outlook for Thanksgiving Day than the bitter cold, bleak Potter's Fiel oming » Almshouse, and cheered les misera by look up tO Deaven and say, ‘My cup runneth | of good feeling which, upon this anni- versary of a nation’s great festival of prawe x gave such cause jor ~ of Charities for thé unfortunate inmates of the . que $a a maner Of Wbacce ana @ | Ww ipe. Atthe Asylum Warden Scott treated the lemen ted to a plate each of ice cream and jelly. Sheriff Williams dispensed the hospitality of the Jail for the day, and saw that eack of the three hundred men, women and children sojourning there ‘forgot thetr sorrows for the hour and feasted upon rich fowl and cranberry sauce, which he supplied irom his own purse. fo less than thirty-one separate and distinct tar- et companies paraded through the streets of the city, numering in their ranks upward of 1,700 men. The ragamuMn turnouts were also numer- ous and a source of amusement to thousands of Women and children who thronged the windows of the houses and heartily enjoyed the grotesque figures cut by “the boys.” Among the jolly org: izations most noticeable were the “Umobre! Guard," “Gentlemen of the Sixteenth Ward,’ “Neighbors’ Sons” and the “Merry Few.” IN NEW JERSEY. In Jersey City. ‘The festival was observed with becoming solem- nity in all the churches of Jersey Uity. The great event of the day was the gathering of the Catholio | Union in St. Mary’s churoh, where a solemn high mass was celebrated. Rev. Father Smythe was celebrant; Father John, of the Passtonists, dea- con; Father Willetts, 3. J., sub-deacon, and Father De Concilio, master of ceremonies, Among the clergy present were the Most Rey, J. K. Bayley, Archbishop of Baltimore and Primate of the United States; Rey, Father Senez, St. Mary's; Very Rev. G. H. Doane, V. G.; Rev. Father Van- ata, Rev. Father Calian, Rev. P. Corrigan, Rev. P. Hennessey, Rev. Fatner Dwyer, of the Puulist Fathers; Rev. Father Delahanty, Indiana; Rev. Father Marshall, 3. J, . Arcnbishop Bayley delivered a brief discourse to the mempers, in which he spoke of the neces- sity Of umon in order fo combat the prevailing opinions of the ave, One of these opmions was that the Catholic Church i8 opposed to progress. It was only necessary to remark that when rail- roads were first invented no such opinions were held. But it suited the enemtes of the Catholic Church to make these charges when all others failed, The primary point to be attained was to make a man a Christian before making kim a gen- Meman und a scholar. The Catholic Union could accomplish much good tn this direction. Father Bodfison, of the Paulist coniraternity, then preached a sermon, tn which he exhorted the members of the Catholic Union to comvine against the errors of the present day, whica almed at the destruction of religion and morality, In Newark. Since the custom of holding yearly Thanksgiving celebrations began there never has been sucha general and hearty observance of the day and its Tecognized teatures in Newark as that witnessed yesterday. Business was entirely suspended, and crowds of people paraded the streets arrayed in thetr best toggery. At most of the cnurches large congregations essembied in the forenoon. At the Church of the Redeemer the pastor, Rev, Dr, Forrester, delivered 8 powerful discourse on the corruption which he said prevailed in the highest departments oi the government. If Jesus could go to-day on the Allegiianies as he went on Mount Ohvet He would weep indeed to see this land so overrun with official thieves and corrupuonists. He was repeatedly interrupted with applause. At the County Jail and o:her insti- tutions the prisoners were regaled with extra dinners and givea extra privileges. No dranken rows disturbed the order of the day. In Twenty- four hours only nine arrests Were made, and these for trivial offences, In Trenton. The day in Trenton was observed with becom- tng respect by all classes of the tuhabitants, bust- ness was entirely suspended and the streets wore the aspect throughout the day of a Sabbath {es- tival. In all of the churches special services were held and appropriate sermons delivered. The prayers of the rich and poor were offered up in unison together, giving thanks in the most heart- felt manner to the Almighty for the blessings He dispensed during the past year. The inmates of the public instivutions recetved sumptuous feasts and the convicts in the State Prison were regaicd with @ bountiful dinner. In Camden. Divine services were held in all the churches at half-past ten o’clock in the morning, and collec. tions were taken up for the benefit of the Camden Home for Friendiess Children. A Thanksgiving family gathering wok place in the Third street methodist Episcopal church in the evening, which proved to be an interesting event. All the leaaing workshops, stores and business houses were closed, and the Jestival was strictly observed in every respect. ON STATEN ISLAND. Thanksgiving Day was generally observed asa holiday on Staten Island, all places of business being closed after ten o’clock in the forenoon and Many of the more respectable drinking saloons being closed during the day. Services were hela im most of the churches and by the chap- Jains in the public institutions about the island, Four hundred old and wWornout sailors at the Snug Harbor, New Brighton, were pro- vided with a roast turkey dinner, and the steward of the Seamen’s Retreat at Stapleton furnished a cartload of turkeys and other niceties for the sick and disabled seamen in that institution. The “ragamuffins” turned out in full force and paraded the streets of the village on horseback and in Wagons, dressed in all sorts of fantastic array. | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1874.

This being 4 national holiday no business was transacted on the “Exchange,” and the only fresh news we have to present is that which may be found in our London despatches, Briefly reviewing the events of the last four days, it may be remarked | that the notable feature of speculation has been the | tion, | speculation. The Tully Guards of Tompinsvilfe made a par- | ade through the streets on a target excursion, The Staten Island sportsmen had trotting, running and hurdle racing, and the Richmond County Shooting Association had pigeon, turkey and tar. got shooting at the Sea View Driving Park at New orp. The woods throughout the island were Milled during the day with gunners from New York and Brooklyn. inthe evening there were concerts in the Baptist church at Mariner’s Harbor, in St. Paul’s Methodist church at Pleasant Vlains, and in vhe Bethel Churca at Tottenville. ON LONG ISLAND. Union Thanksgiving services were held in vari- | ous places on the island—Jamaica, Newtown, Flushing, Huntington, Babylon, Riverhead, Green- port, Sag Harbor, &c.—and the day was generally observed as a holiday. The new Episcopal chapel at Flatbush was opened yesterday for the first time for combined dedication and Thanksgiving services, Bishop Lit- tlejohn preaching tue dedication sermon in the forenoon, Regular services will be held in the chapel on and alter Sunday next. The Rev. J. W. Braden is rector. At the Hempstead Driving Park there was a Sweepstakes trot in the aiternoon and a rafile for & fat heller io the evening. The ladies of St. Paul’s Episcopal church at Patchogue bad their annual turkey supper, of which there will be @ “second edition” this even- ing—proceeds for the benefit of the pastor—and there was @ grand ball at East Moriches in the evening. IN WESTCHESTER. In Westchester county Thanksgiving Day was, as usual of late years, appropriately observed by all classes of the community. It is 8carcely neces- sary to state in this respect that, with a lew ex- ceptions, there was @ total suspension of every kind of business, the thickly settled portions pre- senting a more than strictly Sabbatarian appear- ance of exclusiveness. Crowds of religiously dis- posed people during the forenoon attended the Various places Of Worship, in some of which the pastors, during their Giscourses, laudably endeay- ored to inculcate Cea the minds of their congre- gations that gratitude to the Divine Being for mercies received should not lack the quality of tangible thoughtfulness for the suffering and the needy in their midst. For those not devoutly in- clined there were namerous pleasure-producing entertainments, including horse trotting, target shooting, dramatic exhibitions, balls and other Kindred pastimes, all of which were liberally | patronized. At Stag Sing Prison the 1,400 convicts, through the considerateness of Warden Walker, were permitted to participate in the joy- ousness and festivities of the occasion. During the forenoon religious exercises were conducted in the prison chapel, after whitcit the inmates were regaled with a dinner embracing many littie delicacies not often found on the ae ‘bul of fare, When marched to their cells the jailbirds were allowed to amuse themeelves by singing aud talking to their aearts’ content until the hour for ee ea the lights arrived in the evening. ‘ne prisoners in the County Jail were also kindly remembered by Sherif Carpenter. Many of them, in view of the good things furnished, enthusi- astically expressed their determination to vote for that oficial for a second and even a third term ot office. The boys and girls in the Catholic Pro- tectory, at Westchester, also enjoyed a happy time under the kind indulgence of Brother Pei- lion, the rector of the institution, and his seif- sacrificing assistants, the Christian Brothers, THE CELEBRATION ELSEWHERE. The Day at the National Capital. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 1874. Thanksgiving Day was observed by all classes In @ general suspension of business. There were services in ali the churches, as is usual on such occasions, The weather was fine, Goneral Observance of the Day in San Francisco, SAN PRANOI8CO, Cal., Nov. 26, 1874. Thanksgiving Day has been generally observed here. The State banks, courts, ail public offices and places of dusiness have been closed, Services hold in ay the chuggheds | 80 & 80%; movement in goid, which has of late shown such steadiness 48 to elicit more than ordinary atten- The causes that have promoted the advance are of both a Joreign and local nature. The rise of the rave of discount of the Bank of Engiand, the retarn of American securities, their sate in this market for foreign account, the firmness of ex- change, the large shipments of gold—all these influences have combined to vroduce tie result which is seen, and it will not be surprising tf a further advance takes place. Not @ few among the iarge operators base their expectations of THE FUTURE VALUE OF GOLD upon the recommendations which they believe will be made to Congress by the President and the Secretary of the Treasury, urging a speedy return , te specie payments. It is also thought that, asa preliminary step, the last named ofMicial will, at a not distant day, suspena the sale of government gold, with a view to the accumulation of coin in the public vaults, Indeed, there are those who profess to have seen letters from Washington which clearly foreshadow tnis policy, and upon this faith are basing their calculations as fo the future course of the market. Unlike other move- ments in gold there is not apparent ai the present time any evidence of ¥ CLIQUE MANIPULATION or of efforts to create a purely speculative value, On the contrary, the purchases have been largely | made for bankers and merohants, to be held for the purposes of trade and in anticipation of higher figures. The advanco thus far being natural, and not hastened by combinations of operators, has, therefore, not provoked that prejudice which has been exhibited in other periods of active It may be added, however, that out- side of ordinary commercial causes the action of Congress, should it legisiate on the subject, in ac- cord with the suggestions of the President and | his Secretary, will be chiefly instrumental in ad- vancing the value of gold and giving permanency | | to the same. The accumulation of gold 1s unques- tionably tne first step toward the resumption of specie payments, and looking to this end there is no reason why such a measure should not be- come popular. A PLAN, In connection with this subject we publish the following question and answer from a banker :— Is the following vlan for resumption of specie payments practicable, and, If not, why not? First—Authorize the conversion of legal tenders into five per cent twenty year gold bonds at par. Second—Aiter July 1, 1875, cancel and destroy ali | legal tenders received by the government.
