Pen Pictures of the Great Exhorters. At Yive o'clock yesterday morning the steamship Spain, of the National line, which left Liverpool on the { 4th inst., was telegraphed at Sandy Hook. An hour | Jater she dropped her anchor opposite tne Upper Quarantine Landing Her flags were at half-mast and an indescribable air of lonesomeness seemed to sirround | her. At first a fear was entertained that either Moody or Sankey, worn out by their hard work, had given up the ghost. The suspicion was idle, for as tho Fenton eared the Spain the faces of Moody and Sankey were recognized among the anxious gazers from the ship’s | deck, A few moments after the doctor boarded the | steamer the Hwan reporter mounted the gangway and | began asearch for Messrs. Moody and Sankey, who were now lost among the great crowd on deck. Afler scanning the fages of all the passengers and fafl- | fng to find those belonging to Messrs, Moody and | Sankey, the reporter was about to go below, when he noticed a man leaning over the larboard side of the ves- | sel, The great beaver hat, which is such a prominent | feature in all the pictures the English illustrated journals have given of Mr. Moody, was the first thing about the man on the larboard side which attracted the reporter's attention. When the reporter approached | him and said, “Good morning, Mr. Moody,” he looked up | rather perplexed, and with great deliberation answered, “Good morning, sir.” ‘The reporter then asked a few casual questions as to how he enjoyed the trip and as to his general health. Mr, Moody answered all the ques- tions rather uninterestedly, and it was evident that he was trying to locate the reporter. He knew his interrogator was not one of the passengers, and bis per- plexity was complete. The reporter, noticing this, handed his card, and, after looking at it, Mr. Moody said, ‘Where did you come on?” This question being ‘answered, he followed with another, which was asked with a smile and mach Interest. It was:— “Flow did you know me?” “By your hat,” said the reporter. An explanation that all the English pictares of Mr. Moody represented him in his peculiar beaver led to a general conversation regarding the impression Ameri- cans had of the movement which had been Inaugurated fm England, Mr. Moody was very glad to hear that his country people thought well of the efforts of his col- Jeague and himself, and expressed a hope that he might confirm the favorable impression already existing. Here the reporter asked Mr. Moody, “Do you con- template going to work immediately ?” And Mr. Moody answered, “No; we have decided to takea rest for a couple of months. We have been ad- vised to, and it is very necessary. We are worn out and fatigued; not physically, ft is true, for neither of ‘us were ever in better health. I, myself, am twice as hale as when I left America, but our minds are tired. For two years and two months we have had no rest. ‘We have been anxious all the time, with all the work we could possibly attend to, In all this time I cannot re- call a single holiday. We hold, sometimes, three meet- lay.” en the report which has been current for some time past to the effect that you intended to go to Round Lake is not trae?” said the reporter. “It is not,” he answered. ‘It may have arisen from the fact of our being invited to that point; bat we made no arrangement to acc¢pt the kind invitation.” “I suppose you have received invitations from all of the country to preach ?” “Yos,” said Mr. Moody, “nearly all the cities have tendered us invitations, and many of them urge us to accept forthwith. The citizens of Philadelphia are very anxious to have us come soon, or rather visit them first; for they say that if we put it off the Centennial Exhibition will detract from tho attention which is to results from our meetings,” Here along conversation occurred relative to the probable movements of Messrs. Moody and Sankey after ‘vacation was over, Mr. Moody had mapped out no = but he thought he would go to Chicago. During. Conversation the reporter several times made use 0! the words “revival” and “revivalists,” and Mr. Mood: took occasion to state that of all words in the ‘English Jexicon he objected most to those two when they were applied to his meetings and himself In explaining the matter .he said that the Holy Ghost alone had power to revive, and it was a pseudonym when app! wba ‘her. Mr. Moody, who was still leaning over the side of the vessel, now became silent, and for a short while nothing was said. He kept watching the wash from the bow of the boat, she having started toward the city during the foregoing conversation, Presently he said, his eyea till fixed on the water, “The Engiish people treated us handsomely. We received only kindness everywhere ‘we went. The people and the papers@treated us better a9 we could have hoped to be treated.” speaking of the success at the different meetings, the reporter asked Mr. Moody if he was not pleasantly ised at the vast numbers who flocked to hear him, 6 said the success which had attended the meetings far exceeded what was looked for. Here he took occa- gion to state that he never saw such quiet and order in large assemblies a8 was noticeable at the great mectings in the large cities. Here the reporter stated that the general opinion tn America was that the meetings were condacted in the e manner as the camp meeting revivals, and Mr. loody said he would like to have the impression re- moved, us it was very erroneous. Mr. it ‘was silent. An-excellent opportunity to picture him as he leans there at ease, communing with himself. He is about five feet five or six inches high, with fall black deard and thick loxuriant hair, Rather solid than stout, having the appearance of a man of business. ‘There is a breadth of beam in his whole appearance, so suggestive in business men of financial stability. He looks, a8 he stands there, in his Tweed suit and English beaver hat, more like an English merchant than an American preacher, Persons taking him for what he looks like would be much mistaken; for, from all accounts, Moody ts a very | wman. It is related of him that, at the beginning of is popularity, some friends indoced him to have the at the service copyrighted. This he di y thereafter a publisher went to bim and of fered £5,000 for the right. From this Mooay saw that ‘the people were demanding the songs (else why should such a eum be offered for them by a business man?) and he determined to relinquish the copyright in favor of any and everybody. ‘This Le did and refused the offer of the publisher. But to return to bim leaning over the ship’s side. As he leans there he occasionally rube his forehead as one Qhinking. Suddenly he turns and asks the reporter “How is the woman’s movement out in Ohio?” He is astonished to learn that the movement ts now only a matter of history and that its most vigorous sup- are still Whenever a new fact is told to Mr. loody he we evidently to fix it in his mind, and thinks on it, hen the reporter made this announce. mant Mr. Moody made no reply, but looked out on tho water again. During the lull in the conversation a well Gregsed middie aged man came up to the reporter and said rather hastily, ‘I hear you are from the shore, What was gold last night?” The reply that the re- was not very much interested in the matter and Consequently had not taken notice, disgusted the fepeare and he left quite hurr , and as he dis- peared down stairs Mr, Moody smiled a peculiar smile, mie ex cape Ae next questi was regarding Mayor ve and he asked:— iaraaconeatinatce ce “Ign’t Mayor Havemeyer a good man?” The ro porter broke the melancholy news of the late Mayor's a — yrontured to ray that Le was a good man. jought he was too; but why did the papers speak ree, of him when he was rm od ma no answer came to this question f. sented another framed in this Tar — eee Pvp is Talmage getting along!” 0 Teporter told him of the fuss the worthy ge man raised regarding the theatres and A gn demnation the press bad given him, He asked about the public officers, if they were good, the condition of affairs generally was improving’ 3 the chtirches were attended, &e. In ull thosd questions he manifested a doop interest, hae = before leaving the spot where he was engaged in pon’ jon with the reporter, he gald, “We hada on board last night §=A brilliant young man be- to the American navy died.

We feel honored to number Brother Sankey, who is the fellow worker with Brother Moody, as our personal and beloved friend.” The foregoing description-of Mr. Sankey has beon given because Mr, Sankey has invariably given the meed of praise to his brother worker, Moody, and almost al- accompanied th gion. ‘THR RABY DISPOSED OF. ‘The Heraxy reporter, after mingling with the crowd for a few momenta, watching the diminutive Caledonian, asked Mr. Sankey if he could spare him a few moments, tating his errand “By all means, sir,” and the evangelist thereupon allowed h to be Interviewed. The following conversation then took place:— RRPoRt u have accomplished a good deal of } nkey, on the other side. Well, Mr. Moody is the preacher, and T have done the singing Our efforts have been blessed, hope. HE [8 JONATHAN AND T AM WS ARMOR BEARER. Iam very sorry we have to separate now, but we are both going to our homes to see our parents, We have come to the conclusion that if we do not take some repose now, it will be almost impossible to tell when we may haveany. We have much labor ahead of ‘us in the United States, having received invitations from a large number of cities in the Union to speak in their midst. RxvorTER—Some of the papers on both sides of the Atlantic have given you some pretty hard knock, and criticised the emotional type of religion you have taught. ‘Mr, Saxey (langhingly)}—They have a perfect right to say what they think about us; that is the legitimate province of the press. We do not think, however, that ull the ill they say about us is deserved. ‘To befrank with you, we, have had litde or no time to read the opinions of the press about us. Three moctings a day, on an average, for years, does not leave us much time for the perusal of papers. On the other hand we have been kindly spoken of by countless papers. Rerorrer—i suppose you are very much fatigued ‘loody leaned over the side of the ship again, and | with your labors? Mr. Sanksy—Well, we both stand in need of repose, and our project is to rest for about six weeks or two months, but we cannot fix the date exactly. Revorter—Did you find any prejudices against you and Mr. Moody, ‘as Americans, trying to effect’ an awakening of religious belief in Great Britain? Mr. Sanwuy—Well, very, very little, and that was only at the commencement of our labors; afterward we were treatod with the very greatest possible kindness on all hands. I cannot really commence to tell the great kindness we have met on all sides, both from rich and poor, in England, Ireland and Scotland, Rerorter—What ig your programme in New York, may I ask? Mr. Sankey—We have none, and we are not going to appear in public for ome time, ‘The statement made in the New York papers to that effect is incorrect. Revortsr—It was projected to give you and Mr. Moody a formal reception in the Bay upon your arrival here; but Mr. McBirnie said that he felt sure that neither you nor Mr. Moody wouldwish that anything of the kind should take place. Mr. Savkey—Mr. McBirnie is a fine fellow, and what he said is quite correct. We want to pursue our path quietly and unostentatiously, avoiding all unnecessary publicity, We want to be let alone and not lionized in any shape or form. Mr. George H. Stuart, our friend in Philadelphia and a leading evangelist, also knows our wishes full well in this respect. Reporten—If you stop in New York yon and Mr. Moody will doubtless receive an ovation, and almost have your right hands shaken off by your admirers, Mr. Sankxy (laughing)—We avoid hand shaking, and burst away from the public after meetings when our work is terminated. Rerortre—Do any of your English friends accom- pany you here? Mr. Saxkey—We have with us our good friend, ex-Mayor Farwell, who is full of kindness to us and is one of our most esteemed friends. Reroxtsn—Some of your enemies state that you have made a great deal of money while in Great Britain. Mr. Sankey—That is too bad. Mr. Moody has nota bit of property and has no place that he can call his home. He and I have wandered from place to place in | our Master's service, Mr. Moody and myseif have been supported by the gifts of friends, and it is false and un- kind to say that we have attempted to make money out of our Christian labors (jokingly). If we had been in- clined todo so we could have filled our pockets over ‘and over again, for Mr. Moody has declined many princely gifts. However, this subject is a distasteful one to me to talk about, for I fee! that censure on this subject js undeserved. As Mr. Moody said at Freema- son’s Hall, ‘Not yours, but you.” Reronrsn—It is said that Mr. Moody objects to the cheering of himself and you. Is that so? Mr. Sayxuy—aAt our favorite meeting in Liverpool fm his decided manner, requested them to be seated ani desist from cheering, and I can tell you this about him, that he never hesitates in what he is about to do or say. Mr. Moody said when he bade farewell at that city that when he returned to England he hoped to find | @ Young Men’s Christian Association in every town and hamlet over the length and breadth of England. The following is what Mr. Moody actually said:—In giving advice to young converts Mr. Moody urged that they should unite themselves to some church, He had had twenty years! experience, and he had learned that young converts who did not unite themselves to somo | church are often lost. Unite with some church or chapel; do not be isolated from the Church of God. They ’ might say that there were a good many things in the Church which they did not ike He had learned this—that there was not everything on earth which you liked. Nothing had done more for this world than the Church of the living God, and therefore let him we 4 to young converts:—Go in | with God’s people and work there, Do notgo in to find | | fuait and to murmur—there were good many who-| | complained and they never accomplished anything—but | goin rejoicing in the Lord, and then they would be | welcome and the Lord would awaken them to stir upacold church. He said he believed the devil liked | to get young converts on tele pinnacle and make | them dizzy—make them think themselves somebody— | then down they went, and brought the cause of Chris- | tanity into disrepute. He would a thousand times rather be dead, and dead for Christ, than try to servo | God and the world at the game time, . | A XT AT LIQUOR SRLLERS. j Mr. Moody said “the pitied the poor publican who would by aud by stand up for judgment before God. He would hate to go up before the bar of God and give @n account of his stewardship if he were a publican. He pitied every man who was in the hellish trgiiic. He might gay, ‘What is to become of my family?’ “Let him trust for his family. It was better that they sbould rt ywn to their graves In some asylum or poorhouse; | te was better, a thousand times better, to be borne away | like poor Lazarus to the bosom of Abraham, than to roll down to bell in agolden chariot. He did not believe that men who were ruining their fellow men and help- | ing them on to drunkards’ graves could inherit the king- dom of God.” Aftter thanking Mr. Sankey for his courtesy the re- porter bade hira good day, and Mr. Sankey commenced expatiating on the beauty of the Bay to hischildren, ANOTHER PRIEND OF MOODY AND SANKKY. Among the passengers in the Spain was an intimate friend and coworker of Messrs, Moody and Sankey, the Rev. J. Sabine Knight, formerly of London, who’ hag assisted in many of tho revival meetings of the evangelists above mentioned. He is an bonorary member of the American Missionary Society, of No. 56 | Reade street, and was indorsed by the Freedman’s Bureau on account of his missionary work among the freedmen. He was once nearly beaten to death for his labors on betulf of the colored race in the United | | States, He proposes joining Messrs. Moody and Sankey | | im Chicago in a couple of months, and then commence | | his mission labors among the trecdmen im Florida, at ‘on the mountains, fell over the rocks and lost his life, You could not forgive yourself, You would say ‘I wish Thad taken more time with that man, I wish I had aven him specific directions so that he would not have Seed lost.’ ‘How sorry I feel about it, But oht to mis- direct the eternal interests of a large congregation, How cold and stolid we stand in our pulpits, actually some- times priding ourselves on our deliberation, when wo have no right to be cold, and ought to be almost frantio with the perils that threaten our hearers, % RECEPTION KK TH WARP. The following named gentlemen met the evangelists at the wharf after landing from the Spain and tendered them a cordial welcome:—L. R. Rowland, of Phila- delphia; the Kev, G.

Needham offered a ore of thanks for the safe arrival of the Lagi which was joined in by both Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, and they started for their hovel, MR, MOODY'S DEPARTURE, At three o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Moody and family left this city for Boston om the three o'clock train from the Grand Central depot. WALL STREET NOTES. ‘THE BOND FORGERIZS—PLAN OF THE FARMERS’ LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY —THE RUMOR COMMITTEE—TELEGRAPH GOSSIP AND RAIL- ‘WAY DIVIDEND. The detectives lately engaged in the important arrests of the supposed bond forgers, already described in these columns, were on duty yesterday in Wall street and re- ported that no new revelations had taken place in con- nection therewith. It behooves, however, the bankers and money lenders to look sharply after suspicious characters, and especially to accept the sound advice given to a Henao reporter by Mr. Eugene Kelly, to wits “po NO BUSINESS WITH STRANGERS.” It ts notable that nearly all of the discoveries of forged securities are due to the merest accident, If the clork of Messrs. Fisk & Hatch had not noticed that a num- bered coupon of the California and Oregon Railroad had been already paid there is no question that tho dis- covery of the fraud would have been delayed many months, which would have enabled the counterfeiters to flood Wall street with their admirably executed bonds, | It was an oversight not common in rogues of such ac- complishment in not cutting off the July coupons of the bonds. If this had been done they would have re mained safely in the bank vault until January, 1876, THR VARMERS’ LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY, @ corporation which is the fiscal agent of man great railroads, has an age plan yy whi — of this ir uicl ‘or every saa ERN nc Bach cpt havea which is divided into coupon squares, numbered according to the bond numbers, As soon as ‘a coupon is presented it is pasted on its appropriate and corresponding space, and, of course, ifa duplicate is of fored, a swindle is at once detec: This simple and Angenions plan might well be followed by bankers and others who deal in securities. The four persons in custody at Police Headquarters are to have a hearing to-morrow, and the District Attor- ney will conduct the examination for the people. Wille jam Rae, one of the implicated parties, is said to be well connected, socially, having married’some years ago the daughter of Commodore Levy, of the Navy of tho United States. For a long time he was considered to be a weathy and reputable stockbroker, but he finally lost his money in stock speculation, since which time he is believed to have been associated with the men con cerned in the Buifalo and Erie forgeries. ED HALL, another of the prisoners, Is believed tobe the party concerned in the fraud of the Erie City Water Loan bonds, which were stolen unsigned, the signatures af- ‘erward forged and the bonds passed. He was arrested in 1873 in Pennsylvania on charges of the same charac- tor, but somehow escaped the clutches of the law. THR RECORD OF HAZEWELL has been pretty well set forth in Hxnanp “Notes,” and it only remains to be seen how far he%an be implicated ‘as an accomplice in this last swindle, No clew has yet been found to the dexterous hand which traced the sig- natures on the bonds and forged the names of the trus- teos, Calhoun, Huntington and Kelly; these are speci- mens of remarkable proficiency in all styles of penman- ship, the signatures being utterly dissimilar, ‘THR RUMOR COMMITTEE seemed to be in session again yesterday on the Stock Exchange; @ slight decline in ‘ifle Mail stock was attributed ’to some accident to the steamship City of | Peking, but inquiry failed to elicit any confirmation of this, Arise in Rock Island shares was the signal for hints as to a distribution of stock and an extra divi- dend.

The Legislative Committee on Emigration Affairs met again yesterday for a brief session at Castle Garden, and heard the conclusion of Mr. Bernard Casserly’s testimony. Mr. Casserly was examined by Mr. John Devlin, counsel for the Commissioners of Emigrationy but for the most part the testimony given bas been already published. Ho said that after 1847, when the Commissioners numbered six, the affairs of tho Commission were carried on economically and suitable accommodations were iven the emigrant It was only, when polities crept into the Commission that things went wrong and parti- fan appointments were made.

Wooster street, and on the 24th of March, robbery of $50 at No, 52 Wooster street, Tho witness denied positively that any of the foregoing robberies were ever given him by Sergeant Groo to work up; be denied having eyer heard of them beforo; never knew that the houses No. 75 Greene street, No, 143 Mercer street, No, 52 Wooster street and No, 2814 ‘Wooster street were panel houses, and would certainly have heard it if they were, Captain Williams here stated that Sergeant Croo, when before the Committee on Crime, had said thi Terwilliger never made any arrests for robbery while in the Eighth precinct, to contradict which he (the Cap- tain) submitted a statement taken from the records of the station house, ‘The statement showed that Terwilliger had arrested ninety-nine porsons for robbery, twenty-one of whom wore women, They were put under an aggregate of $33,600 bail, and the sentences thus far ipposed amounted to 192 years in all. To Mr. Voorhis—I don’t know what robberies are going on in the precinct at present. To Captain Williams—So long as houses of ita- tion are run publicly, like now, so long robberies will be committed in them; Ido not know what @ panel house is; | never was in a regular one. ‘The witness then continued, and said that on the 28th of June last ho met Sergeant Groo on the corner of ‘Thirtieth street and Eighth avenue, shortly after ho had given his testimony before the Commitiee on Crime. Groo said to Terwilliger:— “I’m sorry I had to bring your r me into the affair, but | wanted to get square with ¥ ‘liams, as he treated me like @ brute, and I’m doing ¢ 4 this to aes even with bum,’ 5.-TRIPLE SHEET.
