We favor his candidature | as opening an easy way for the withdrawal of President Grant's third term pretensions. With Mr, Conkling as President his influence on public affairs would survive him. He would be such a trusted adviser of the new administration as Jefferson in his retirement | at Monticello was of his triends, Presidents | Madison and Monroe, and as General Jack- son, at the Hermitage, was of his successor, President Van “Buren, whose choice by the democratic party he virtually dictated. We have no personal hostilit} to President Grant, and have never opposed the third term on personal grounds. It is our sincere into a voluntary and honorable retirement, and that his influence for good may survive the expiration of his term. Believing that he could gracefully relinquish his aspirations in favor of his friend, the eminent New York Senator, we should be truly glad to see the difficulty solved in this way. We are not blind to the effect of Mr. Conkling’s nomination on the democratic party; but as he is entirely sound on the vital question of the currency we could as safely trust him.as any democratic candidate that might otherwise be selected from this State. We say ‘‘otherwise” because it seems | plain that if Mr. Conkling should be the re- | publican candidate the democratic candidate would be taken from the West. The nomi- | nation of Mr. Conkling would preclude the republicans from deriving any advan- | tage from the peculiar public senti- ment of the West which the democratic party could utilize and monopolize by selecting a candidate who represents it. The nomination of Mr, Conkling at Cincin- nati would, therefore, inevitably locate the democratic candidate in the West, and give him a powerful and zealous support in that important section of the country. The dem- ocratic party will not relinquish so great an advantage if Mr. Conkling is put in such a position as would insure the vote of New York for the republicans; for without New York the only chance of democratic success lies in recovering Ohio and electing the Our Paris Cable Letter. Paris should be very happy: just now, for itis only when there is nothing to talk | about that the true Parisian becomes triste with aspecies of sadness almost untrans- latable. With two thousand candidates for places in the new Assembly and an average of ten thousand speeches a week all France can share in the political topics which will be further seasoned by the meddling of busy prefects and the intrigues of numberless cabals, with the spectacle of a ministry which is merely a ‘good enough Morgan until after the election.” Then the French- man has his minor stimulants of continental politics, and the theatrical, musical and art worlds lie before him like so many dainty decanters of maraschino, noyeau and aqua doro. Perhaps the most interesting item to Americans is that concerning Dumas’ new play, ‘‘L’Etrangére,” which is in trouble with the censorship, presumably because it | is offensive in its dealings with America and Americans. However unpleasant it may be to have ourselves gibbeted successively by tlfe foremost French dramatists, Sardou hav- ing preceded Dumas in this direction, we do not think that Americans are so thin-skinned as to take those sketches, drawn from ridicu- lously imperfect sources, very seriously to heart. In addition to making the ‘foreign woman,” who is an American, a Prussian spy at the Court of Napoleon IIL, we are told that M. Dumas attacks American diplomacy. The Prussian spy business would probably indicate that the period of the play is somewhere in the time covered by the | ministries of Dix, Bigelow and Wash- burne, and we are very certain that if the dramatist’s plot required an unscrupulous American diplomat he must have been | Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore held his summer's | and animated notes of Sankey. | of thousands, and there weré ‘‘revivals” and | and opportunity for abundant good, and that | | In the Democratic National Convention of | and added his power asa caricaturist to bis | Mr. Church, not from any desire to make | mous enough to forgive him. tician is to put him, even transiently, in the | evolved purely from the brain of M.

We have as to do as though it were a new opera on the opening of a new dramatic season. The place selected is the scene of two or three great “successes” in the show business. It has been, to use a cant phrase, ‘‘recon- structed” and purified. The beer saloons have been turned into “rooms of inquiry.” Bands of earnest evangelists have taken the place of the ushers who were wont to swing trays of beer from box to box. Grave clergymen will occupy the platform where reign, and instead of the music of Strauss or the perplexing strains of Wagner, which Patrick Sarsfield was wont to render more and wore perplexing, we shall have the clear We are to have a winter campaign against the devil which bids fair to be the most extraordinary ever known in New York. The leaders of this campaign come crowned with laurels. Moody and Sankey have made a stand-up fight against the devil in many lands, and thus far, so far as we can understand the bulletins of the strife, they have whipped him every time. In London and Glasgow, in Liverpool and Manchester, their achievements were marvellous. Alone in mighty London these two evangelists, aliens to the land, without the aid of any denomination or religious organization, be- gan to speak the word that was in them. There were some that mocked and others | that called it a speculation, and others held that it was so irregular, 80 much apart from the ordinary channels of religious effort, that it could only live like a summer cloud and pass away after a few days’ wonder. But the word they spoke brought thousands and tens manifestations of grace and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The songs which Mr. Sankey sang are now the everyday ditties of England. ‘Tommy Dodd” and other irrev- erent rhymes have given place to ‘Hold the Fort” or “Only an Armor Bearer.” The movement became national. The leading newspapers treated it as an unusual phenom- enon.

The many who would pay a cab fure without grumbling will still pay five cents in the cars with a little more gatisfiction and endure the inconvenience. But as the people are thus forced by the existence of these lines and by their absolute possession of the field to depend upon them, so the people and all organs and authorities that act for the people must fight resolutely to secure,to the people adequate conveniences and accommodations, Pulpit Topics To-Day, The advent of the evangelists Moody and Sankey to our city to-morrow has given Dr. Rogers an opportunity to defend and speak well of those who have turned the world up- side down, and has more or less influenced the topics that will be considered by other pastors to-day. Dr. Tyng, Jr., will illus- trate the practical wisdom of winning souls and of answering the Saviour’s knock at the sinner'’s heart, and Mr. Lloyd will demand an answer from his im- penitent hearers how long they intend to halt and hesitate ere they accept in their | hearts the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge. But the preaching of Moody and the singing of Sankey will be powerless for good unless the Spirit is poured out upon the preachers and the people; hence Mr. Lightbourn will urge his people to more ear- nest, fervent prayer for this blessing. Without the promised gift and presence of the Holy Ghost, as Mr. Hepworth will demonstrate, j men have no right to expect or hope for metey; but with Him they can have both merey and oneness with Chri-t. important question that a sinner can ask— What must Ido to be saved ?—-will be an- swered to-day by Mr. Pullman, and those who are interested in knowing what to do ,in such case should be on hand.

It became the subject of Parliamentary inquiry, and when it was over the two evangelists left England with world- wide fame, and were honored on theiy return as men who had done honor to thetPnative, land abroad. In Brooklyn their success was repeated, and in Philadelphia there has been, according to Mr. Stuart, a ripe harvest of souls. The steady old Quaker City seems to have gone into religious experiences with centennial fervor, and there has been such an awakening as has not been seen since the old bell in Independence Hall rang out lib- erty to all the land and to the inhabitants thereof. If Moody and Sankey mean to reach the devil and overthrow him in New York tlfey must not act with mealy mouths or buttered fingers. They must strikehome. Wherever his influence is felt it must be assailed. The time has come to tear up root and branch and burn as in a stubble fire all remnants of sin and hypocrisy. If these evangelists mean to give us merely a minstrel show, eloquent talk, sweet singing and no more, the Hippo- drome might as well be thrown open to Bar- num’s elephants and Gilmore's fiddlers and beer carriers for all the real Christian good that will result. The good men who surround Moody and Sankey and hold up their hands hope for better things. For our own part we give them asincere welcome. We might, if we indulged a carping spirit, find much to criticise—superficiality, frivolity, a belittling of sacred things. We might even plead for the old faith and the old creeds, the precepts of many centuries. We might wish for the solemn and accustomed ways, and fear that this new flame, which burns so fiercely, will burn into ashes and smoke. But in Moody and Sankey we see earnest men trying in their own way to do good. Around them are divines and laymen who are worthy of all honor, and whose example we can only view with respect. Our hope is that Moody and Sankey may have strength | their work will not be fora day but for all | time. City Passenger Traffic.

Mr. Egbert will discuss phases of popular scepticism, Mr. Merritt will draw spiritual lessons from the barren fig tree of the Gospel, Mr. Rowell will prove that piety has real pleasures and plenty of them, and that forgetfulness in certain events is a crime, and Messrs.

Dr. Armitage is running through patri- archal and Jewish history with his people, and to-day he will spiritualize the golden and brazen altars and Noah's dove and pre- sent their symbolical meaning. Mr. Giles will tell us what the tree of knowledge of good and evil is, and why eating of its fruit causes death. Mr. McCarthy will consider the excarnation of the Divine Son and pur- gatory. Mr. Seitz will show how and wherein economy is a means of culture, and Mr. Mul- ford will talk about reforms and reformers. “Pique.” We have received many letters relative to the authorship of “Pique.” One of: these is | from Rose Rayland, who made the original charge that Mr. Daly had taken his first three acts from Florence Marryat’s- novel, “Her Lord and Master ;” another very long and very able communication is signed “Looker On ;” another is from ‘‘An English Playwright,” and another, in defence of Mr. Daly, is from the always witty and generous pen of John Brougham. That we decline to publish these letters, treating the subject in | such different ways, is not from any want of respect for their authors, all of whom show signal ability in their arguments. We de- cline because we think the only question we undertook to examine has been finally de- cided. That question was whether the play was taken from the novel. It is admitted that it was. No denial has come from Mr. Daly or from, Mr. Brougham or from any one, because no one can contradict evidence of which the public has now full possession, The discussion now tends toward the ques- tion whether Mr. Daly had the right to an- nounce the play as his original work, with- out acknowledging his indebtedness to the novel.

Englishmbn, even those who view the monarchy with unabated loyalty, have been of late years prone to put a rather ungener- ous construction on the movements of Queen Victoria. Hence, when our London correspondent tells us that the announce- ment of Her Majesty being about to open the coming session of Parliament fore- shadows the request for another cash grant to help settle her remaining marriageable daughter in life, he only echoes the sentiment | of the English capital. Since the death of the Prince Consort the Quees has taken | scarcely any part in public life, and if she | comes personally to Parliament when asking | marriage portions for her children it would be perhaps a little more generous to look at | it from the side that she believes such a request really calls for a personal solici- tation and that in so askihg she ac- knowledges the power of the people to re- fuse. Ifthe English people like a monarchy they must pay as wellas play. The Ritual- ists still make a stir with their over- tures to Rome, and between the oppo- sition of the masses and the immovability of Rome they pay the penalty of all half- way parties.

The Centennial Rifle Match, We are sorry to observe that the English riflemen seem determined to stand upon their chosen ground of an imperial team or none. The interview had with General Shaler, which is published elsewhere, shows distinctly the position of our National Rifle Association. The association sent a circular early in last December to various nations, inviting them to send teams to the Centennial rifle meeting, and such circulars were sent to England, Scotland and Ireland. The ac- ceptance of this invitation by the Scotch was in due course, and will not interfere, so far | as America is concerned, in the English send- ing an imperial team or one distinctively ‘national That is for the English | Rifle Association to consider, and we | still venture to hope that they may see their way to sending out some representation. The Irish riflemen still have the matter un- der advisement, and, as General Shaler says, their acceptance of our invitation would leave us no other course than to welcome it. In fact, having sent a wide invitation to the riflemen of the world, we cannot, in our | character of Centennial hosts, presume to limit the number of those who graciously choose to accept it. | Tompson, the hero of the shooting case | at Lloyd’s Neck, L.
