The frst morsel is very swoet, but the last is very bitter. When it rains on Sunday w: re to catch cold if we go to chureh, but if it rains on Monday we can goto Stewart's just as we.l as not. If you want to got to heaven at Isss you must carry a little pit of it through your life. By and bye you can oxchange the little bit for the whole, It is easy enough to seo the truth when {t is on your side in the argument, but when {t js on the side of your opponent not all the microscopes in the world will enable you to discover it, Is is said, with some truth, that the church bas an advantego over a race course, The latter may make you bet, but the former will make you better, Natural religion 1s well cnough, provided it be en- trely natoral. When a man says he believes in natu- ral religion you had better fod out whet kind of a na- ture he has before you trust him, . That Sunday school teacher meant to say some- thing els¢—perhaps be was looking for the word ex- tension, but he really said ‘I bave long been laboring for tho extinction of the cause.’ Thore isa certain Class of people in the world who mean to do just right, but who really do just wrong. It is easier to deal with an open opponent than witha man who is very anxtousto help you, but who can’t oven try to do so without hurting you, The Russian Bear has at last expressed an opinion, and itis to this effect, viz., that unless Christians havo all neeaful liberties granted to them, and at once, he proposes to have a Turkey and a Thanks- giving. Tho logic of childhood ts sometimes irresistible, A Promising youth of only 2 summers, who had beon accused of not always tolling the truth, cross- examined bis father, “Father, did you use to lie when you were a boy?” ‘No, my fon,’ sald the pa- ternal, who evidently did not recall the past with any distinctness. ‘Nor mother, oither?’’ persisted the young lawyer. “No, but why?” “Ob, because I don’t see how two people who never to!d a lie could have a boy that tell: many as I¢o.’’ The problem has never been solved. There is a mistake some- where, and the chances are that it was not mado by the boy. Mr, Damon Y. Kilgore has written a letter to the Philadelphia authorities asking to be permitted to present to them a bust of that immaculate patriot, Thomas Paine, and the said authorities laid the letter on the tabl quiet intimation that the bust of the author of “Common Sense” is not needed at present. At this the radical religious papers bristio all over with indignant criticism, Tney have worked tnemselves into akind of cataleptic ecstacy over the virtues of their St. Thomas, and have no words with which to express their furor divinus that thoro is no niche in our national temple in which to put on offigy of an infidel, whose private lite was in perfect accord with his theories, Thomas Paine bas not yet become our patron saint, A young clergyman has written to Mr. Beecher say- ing, “1 can’t find texts,’’ and goes on to ask what ho shall do, Mr. Beecher very kindly gives a vast amountof information on the subject, and suggests thousand and one ways and plnces in which texts can be found. Woshould think that the beat way to find a text Is to look for it, and the best place to search is the Bible. It occurs to us, however, that if a young clergyman docsn't know what to preach about, and has to cudgel bis brains to get a subject, and thus spendsa couple of days In wondering what bo shall say in it, he had better spond filteon minutes In writing bis resignation. Such a resignation would be very ac- ceptable to the few who are left to constitute a church meeting. Ifyou have nothing to say, why say it, and sit down. ’ The sky is clearing for Mr. Beecher, The committee bas reported that it has waited six months for somebody to say something, but that the mysterious somebody has never once rang the door bell, and now Mr. Moulton has quietly withdrawn from the precincts of the Now York court, and if he ever again expresses hipselt freely on the subject in band he will do so among the wilds of Delaware county. Either there js no evidence, or there is no guilt, or something else. The case 1s over, the clouds of dust are being blown away, and at last Mr. Beochor Is pronounced—what? Nothing can be more sad than to see a woman liko Harriet Martineau or a man like Mr. Ranney going un- der tho veil with the assuranco that there is ‘nothing in them worthy of {mmortality.”” It may be all very well for a person whose instincts are so refined that a dishonorable act would be an impossibility to talk about anaihilation, but the doctrine of a future life w arestraint which we can’t well do without. The prac- tical operation of the general behef tn immortality on the moral lite of the community is greater than we think, To dio like a dog is au incentive to live like one. To bo nothing hereafter is to be nothing here. It is said that the cotion crop of the South is greater this year than for many years past. With: prospority will como patriotism, perbaps, Let us hope that this cotton crop will not be used to stuf tho of politi- ¢ians withal when the dlection returns come in. Wo can afford anything except airaud. America is sate so long as tho people are willing to abide by an honest vote. Tho Exccutive is for four years, but the country is forover. Let the cotton crop of the South and tho corn crop of the North shake hands, and all will be well. Wo suppose every one whobag been In the Art Gal- lery at the Contennial has stood as long as the crowd would permit in front of the ghastly picture of “Pro- motheus Chained.” Tho vultures swoop down with such ravenous boaks that one almost shricks, Tho other day two pergons of evident reiigious tendencios were standing before the picturo in increasing amaze" ment. “What can it bet’? milaly whispered the younger. ‘Well,’ replied the other, with something hko ¢isdain at such possible ignorance, ‘I should toink any one who bas read bis Bible might know. Ot course, it 1s Elijah ted by the ravens.” METHODIST MISSIONS. APPROPRIATIONS TO DOMESTIC MISSIONS—FOUR HUNDRED AND NINE THOUSAND, SEVEN HUN- DRED AND FIFTEEN DOLLARS ALBEADY GRANTED—SEVENTY-THREE CONFERENCES YET TO BE PROVIDED For, At the opening session of the Missionary Committeo yesterday Bishop Wiley presided and Rev. Mr. Miles conducted the devotional exercises, Tho California Chinese mission by the delay of a night received $1,000 less than it was proposed to give it on Friday. There was somo discussion on the question, but on a motion $9,000 in currency was granted in» stead of the $12,114 askea by Dr, Gibgon, and tho $10,284 which was granted Inst year, To the Indians in Central New York Conferenee, $300 were given; to thoso 1m the Detroit Conference, $700; to those In East Oregon and Washington Conterence (Columbia River), $200; tothe Indians in Michigaa Conlorence, $700; to Northern Now York, $250; to Gonesseo Conference (late Wostern New York), $230, and to Wisconsin Conforenco Indians, Bishop Harris then mado a stirring appeal for an ap- Propriation for the Round Valiey Indian Mission, In the Caitornia Conierence, upon which a dias cussion ensued. It appeared that under tno voluntary lavors of a Mothoudist minister, who had been Indian Agent at that place, about 900 out of tho 1,700 in tho village have become Christians during the } pti They wero thorough savages whe in with them. Now they have gi nomadie life, bave built schools and want a ra as Since their spirit longer abl $500 for a pastor, This covered the ny foreign missions and to foreigners an land and the aggregate amount thus 4: | y father js no jo to minister to thom.

Bishops Foust Ames, Scott, Simpson and others took part in the debate, and komo strange facts wore brought to ligt For instance, homber white nor colored preachers of the North liko to go down to the South, Indeod, in some se.tons of that country yet a Northern ian, whether whe or black, would be Ii to be impris- oned or murdered Jor bis opinions, and at any rate bo would be closely watched, But the Methodist cence eal Church ts tryitg to educate both colored and whtvog ; Esau hela up as a careiess, woll-natured man. especially the latter, and to thisend is establishing schools and colleges that can’t be surparsed in the South. It 19 generally believed that the colored le who live in white communities are more intelligent abd moral then those who live among themselves; but, in Bishop Ames’ observation, the reverse is true. For men who have had such slender opportunities tor mentel improvement, where it was a penal offeoce |* to teach them to read or write, it was sur. prising how well they had got’ along. Many of them can read .very well, ant a few can write, and the colored people took up to such men, Its, theretore, desirable to educate men on the ground who shall become teachers and preachers to the peo- | ple. For, after all, the moral condition of the colored people of the South is extremely low, as might be ex- Pected. And, as Bishop Foster remarked, the depth of moral degradatioi which the Church tound them 80 great their present sgatus is surprising. Tuere area lew good Latin scholirs among them, but the Foligious {deas of the people aro very crude, ‘Thay will get into a meeting at cight o'clock and rant and shout till midnight in the nate of religion, and have what they call a good time, and some of the men who lead this shouting will commit adaltery before muraing. The Church is trying to send educaicd men among these communities to stop this caricature of religion and to MLEVATE THE PEOPLE MORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, But meantime Sishop Ames thought that the more telligent colored men who could read anu write wero ing a good work among their propie and should be couraged. Many of them areas sbarpas a steel {rap, and as good talkers on the floor of Conference as any college graduato, And, moreover, they have far more influence with their own people than they could have had they a college diploma in their pockets; for the bond of sympathy which now exists between Preachers and people woald in that case bo broken, and the minister's influence be ineasurably lessened, it m completely destroyed. With this information befo them the commitice appropriated to the Central Ala- bama Conference (not yet organized, but ordered to be by the General Conterence) 2,500; to the Delaware Conlerence, $1,000; to the Florida Conler- ence, $3,500, and to the Lexington Uonterencoe, $1,800, Many ol the points given above came out in the discus sion on the appropriation to the Louisiana Conference, which last year had $7,500, but to which it was pro- posed now to give $5,500 or $6,000. But the discus- sion waxed so warm and the excitement became so tn- tense the committce deemed it best to lay the matter over until Monday morning; thereupon appointed a commitioe, consisting of the representatives of tho missionary districts, together with the secretaries and troarurer, to draft a scale of apportionments to the annual conferences bared upon the sui of $650,000 to be raised by the Church during the year, _ The com- ‘Mittee are io report to-morrow morning. The aggre- gate appropriations made thus far to the foreign and domestic work amount to $409,715, and there are yet seventy-three conferences to be provided for out of the balance, $115,235. NEW CHURCH OF ST. AGNES. Rev. Father Macd«wall, pastor of St. Agnes’ church, East Forty-third street, is engaged in perfecting ar- fangements for a grand dramatic and musical festival, to be given in the Academy of Music on Thanksgiving Bight, in aid of the fund for the completion of the sacred edifice, and to assist in the discharge of the debt which is still dueon the building. A maguiticent programme is being arran, Tho most eminent artists from all the leading theatres and the ltalian Opera Company have volunteered their services support of Futher Macdowail’s undertaking. It is expected that the Academy building will be crowded to overflowing. SYNAGOGUE WORSHIP. SPECULATIVE THEOLOGY DEPRECATED BY DR. MENDES—HUMAN FAITH NOT TO BE UN- SETTLED, Daring the three years that Dr. Mendes has now ministered to the spiritual wants of the Forty-fourth street congregation quite a reaction im fervor has taken place, os evidenced in tho much larger at- tendance on Sabbaths, His eloquent and scholarly sermons seem to have taken firm hol on his people, for thoy grapple successtully and intolligibly with the great problems of tho day, besides expounding in an enlightened way tho truths of Judaism. His work bas not been confined to the pulpit, for in the school, on the platform and through the press he has been dil- gent in spreading liberal truth and furthering ‘tho in- terests of @is congregation. Dr. Mendes has made tho Forty-tourth street synagogue among the foremost jn the land, Yosterday the Doctor, in commenting upon the lesson of the day, deplorea the tendency to occupy men’s minds with matters too speculative and im. practical. Of such subjects asthe existence aud tributes of a Deity, future hte, rewards and puni ments, inen could vut form theories; all absolute and definite knowledgo of them hes bey the pale of mortal certainty. No ono would deny that tomperate and moderate discussion of what the wisest men thought upon sach themes was of valu», and even obligaiory upon the religious instructor, but exclusive oroupation with them, incessant passing and repassing over the SLENDER WIRES OF SPECULATIVE THOUGHT ‘was potonly valugless but harmful, unsettling mon and making them untit for the steady work of life. All that the wisest of preachers can tell you, said the Doctor, of these things you know yourselves, and ull you know yourselves may bs summed up ir the one sentence, “We know nothing of them.”” The prophet bas not yet arisen who, more favored than Moses, has asked to seo God's face and received his petition. One cause of this weekly dragging plain, matter-ol-tact citizens out on tho tratl ropes of speculation is the di- minished reverence for the Bible. Preachers preterred not to illustrate Bible characters, not necessarily be- cause they neld them in lower ostcem, but thoy feared their flocks do. The next result is that people have become quite ignorant of Bible narrative or have sup- piled their kpoowledge of Scripture characters from common report, light literature or the Nike, As well accept as an accurate and noble delinca tion of Hebrew character the personality of Shylock ag drawn by Shakespeare. Referring to tho lesson of the day—tho saio of Esau’s birthright to Jacob—Dr, Mendes instanced this as an example of popular m's- judgment. Jacob 18 devounced as a cheat or sharper; While concoding that the men and women of the Bible wero mere men and women, with high virtue, it is true, and some with scarcely any, it 1s somewhat staggering to find such crimes as fraud, deception and grecdmess therein portrayed. Are not preachers right in retus- ing to attempt to draw instruction from such models? nly not, replied the Doctor; they should exam. jcripture more closely, and then they would find that such popular ideas are faulty. Thus, it nad been prophosied that Esau should serve Jacob. This was, no doubt, often told tho latter by Rebecca, who loved him; beuce Jacob grow up despising his brotner, and perceiving his utter unfitness to be tho founder of a Teligious nation. So whon Esav was ready to sell bi birtoright for a moss of pottage, exclaiming that ho Starving, when he was in his father’s house, Ja- cob thought the moment had ived for the trunsfer of tho birthright, WHAT WAS THE BIRTHRIGHT? Very few reflect on this question or they would not think Jacob bad secured so gitttering a ginecure. The first born’s office was that of the priest of the family. You can judge, said the Doctor, how fitted wild Esau was for such a holy office, as compared with the medi- tative and religious Jacob, But Jacob was wrong in lorestalling God in trying to help un Providerce, So Isaac has been blamed for making Esau get some veni- son thathe might bless him for it But Esau was Wild, had married idolatrous wives who vexed hig renis; his nature was such as to wound and burt is parents’ sensitive diypositions. No doubt he caused them abundant sorrow. Therefore Isaac, who believed he was to receive the bicssing, set him tho easy task of bringing a head of game, that be might pertorm at least voe filial act of obedience and receive a blessing for it, So Rebecca sinned too, but with the sin of too much love tor her son; be only who has never known a mother’s devotion will brand her for it The Jesson 18 one of patience, not to try and help on Providenco by master strokes, In the present political crisis both tn a partios must be patient and convinced that the right will prosper, but any violont attempt to ald ‘wh cause mischief and wrong. CONSECRATION OF A SYNAGOGUE, ‘rho Jowish congregation Shaary Berochoh, formerly | worshipping in Sixth street, noar Second avenue, hav- ‘ng levsed the hall over the Third Avenue Railroad depot haa it fitted up and dedicated yesterday a8 a house of worship. It will be used antil their ner building is finished, The Rev. 4. Wassermann de- livore.! the consecration sermon, Irom Genesis, xxvii, B—'And God Aimighty bless thce and make thee (ruit- fyland mauitiply thee that thou mayest be a multitude of people,” a This text, the roverend speaker raid, was | roprinte for the eccasion; but while God would leas the congregation of Israci they must ao all in ir power to merit tho biessing. Hut, alas! fow eregations carca’ now for sincere prayer, such as their forefathers offered up, They are too intent upon the display of magnificent o.tifces and splendid choirs. Tho Lord had suid, “Wherever 1 record my name [ will come unto thee and bless thee.’ Costly edifices and fine choral music, tothe exclusion of prayer, are not wba red irom His ebildren, A contri art and a devout spirit aro more acceptabie to Him. Abraham,set a good exam- pio when he told his servant to go into Mesopotamia and find a wife for isaac, but not to take one from among the daughters of the land in which he dwelt, Though bieesed oon riches, had an abilin, rr “GOING ROUND THE WORLD.” The first of the annual coufe of {ree lectures for the year at the Cooper Institute was given last night in the great ball of the Cooper Union by the Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field. There was a large attendance, nearly all the seats being occupied. Tho stage was occupied by a number of Indies and gentiemeo, among whom was seated the venerable Peter Cooper. Mr. Hewitt introduced the lecturer. On taking the stand the lec- turer commenced by stating that 100 years ago a voy- age round the world took about three years. Now it could be accomplished in tess than three months, Alter a voyage across the Atlantic Ireland was tho first Jand visited, and after a run through the country, from the Lakes of Killarney to tho Giant’s Causeway, a visit to Scotland and thence to England {pllowed. The lecturer was quite enthusiastic over England, paying well deserved compli! ts to her groat great institutions, ber universities and her noble chart- ties, and above all to the people’s undoubted love of freedom. What particularly attracted attention i Franee was that scarce a trace can be found of the ef- | fects of the late great war, Tne French are truly a won- dertul people—the most economical in the worki— after paying a war indemnity of a thousond million Irancs to Germany she ghows no sign of pecuniary emoarrassinent, while Germany, her con- querer, is suflering from Unanctal distress. A pleas. Ing picture of Switzerland and a glowing description of Mont Blank was drawn by the lecturer. Thea the vistte to Holland was des ‘ibed, and the soiiting energics of her people applauded. From what the lecturer had seen of the w Empire of Germany he betieves that it was |aunched ona great carvor, ‘The German people aro the besteducated people in Kurope, Austria bad improved on account of the empire being mede more compact, The government is now wore liberal than what it wus before tho Austrians got beaten at Sadowa, edu. cation more general and railroads more numerous The visi to Rome and the run through ltaly was briefly described, Tarkey though had much interest for the traveller, Coustanti Jo, beautitul as you approach It, 18 disgraceful on inspection. Con- Blautinople is the jewel of the world—vations have battled for it before and will do so agwin, The Turks to-day are great barbara: they were hun- ‘of yearsago, They aro cruel, oppressive and lized. They try to ‘rt the uscendancy of Asiaticism over the European—Mobammedanism over Christianity. Turks in Europe aro a bad crowd and “that cro’ ould be cleaned ont.’? Fears were entertained by some that if the Turks were got rid of the Russians would tako their place. 1t would be time enough to think of that, Get md of the Turks first. Egypt was depicted as the land of beggars, and yet the Khedive did much to introduce many of the reforms and advancements of the age. The atmosphere ot Egypt is the purest in the world, Too visits to British India, Burmah, the island of Java, China and Japan wore all brielly but graphically sketched, and in concinsion the lecturer remarked that while there aro many things tho old countries can Jearn from us thereare also many things which we may tearnf rom them. Civil service examinations in China being among the good hints we might take trom that ancient land, a suggestion which it ts hoped will not bo lost onthe next President of the United states, whoever he may be. THE VERMONT ELECTORS. , Vi, Nov, 15, 1876. St Armani To tae Eviror or tux Heranp A question arises as to the electoral voto of this Sta (Vermont). One of the electoral candidates on the ro. publican ticket 1s, or was when voted for, a postmaster, but since clection claims to have tondered his resigna- tion (as postmaster) to the Postmaster General, and so the republican journals are claiming that any con- stitutional impediment which might have existed In his case is effectually removod by his resignation of tho Post Ofice, Let us examine this question in the light of the constitution. Section 1 of the second arti- cle of the constitution provides that ‘no Senator or Representative or person holding an office of trust or profitunder the United States shall be appomied an elector.” The same article provides that ‘each State shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature theroo! muy direct, a numbor of electors equal to tho whole number of Sevaiors and Representatives to which the State may be onttied in Congross.’’ The Legislature of this State, in chapter 1, General Stat. utes, directs the manner in which such electors shall be appointed, and alter specitying the manner in which the election shall be conducted In each town pro- vides (section 60 of said chapter 1):—The presiding officer shall deliver to the County Cierk of the county in which such town js situated within two days after holding suc meeting the certiticate of the votes taken and sgaled up as aloresaid, and the said clerks sball meetatthe State House in Montpelier on the third Tuesday of said November, and there publicly canvass said votes aud declare the number of persons equal to the nuinber ot electors to be chosor: having the great myereee. et votes uuly clected eiectors,” Kc. here is no other provision for the appointment of electors except in ouge of a vacancy, but it cannot bo claimed that the ineligibility ot the one in question creates a vacancy, for there were tun candidates yoted jor aud only five electors required, These five must be chosen from tho whole number of candidates Voted for (if enough are eligible), tor the eonstitution or fundamontal in now ho parties. It would seem to me a useless expenditure of time to Argue that, admitting tnis genticnan’s meligibilty or disqualification at the time of casting the votes on thi 7th day of November, it can be cured by his resign: tion of the Post Ollice. The wording of the constitu tion clearly indy ind Feveon avserts, that the d.s- qualification mentioned has reference to the ¢ of election, and consequently for this postmaster mig! polled jor a dead map, and b esizpation not aorepted by the Postmaster Genorai uniil alter election cannot change the result. Othorwiso, a naturalized citizen of six years’ standing might vo elected to Congress in apparent violation of ihe constitution requiring sevon years’ citizenship, by simply omitting to until he would come withio this rule. Tho result is, therefore, that nine eligible candidates for Presiaen- tial elector were voted for in this State on Tuosday; November 7.

AT THE SHERIFY'S OFYICH. Tho announcement that the Franklin had been sighted created a temporary stir in a/l the city depart- ments, but more particularly in tho Sheriif’s office. Sheriff Connor received no official or even authentic notification of the appearance of the Franklin curing the afternoon, aud consequantly mado no special pro- visions tor the reception of the prisoner. “ifas the Sherilf heard of tho arrival of Tweed?” asked a Henan reporter ot Under Sheriff Curamings. “Ho has heard of the announcemont on tho bulletin bodrus," replied Mr. Cummings, “but as yet ho bas not been advised of the Franklin’s being off Barnegat, nor has there been avy very reliable information for- wardedto the city, I believe, of the sighted vessel bemg that or any other United States man-of-war, At all events no official notitication bas been received or 13 expectod here to-night.’” “Where will Tweed be taken to on his arrivalr’” “To Ludlow Street Jail, of course. Thero 1s no other Institution of that kind that tho Baerif bas anything to do with r” “Willhe be taken there itmmodiately on reaching land?” I eappose so, But as yet no orders have been given, and none shall be issued till further information iS received. {t is natural to supposo, however, that as soon as tho Captain of the Franklin delivers him up be will bo taken to his ol4 quarters,” “How will the capture of Twoed affect the Sherif? He was responsible lor tho civil suits against Tweed, was he not”? “It will have the efloct of releasing him from such responsivilitics, As soon as Sherif! Connor produces ‘Tweed be ceases to be amenable tor any of the sults for which the latter's escape were supposed to mako him hable,’” THE NEWS AT THE NAVY YARD, sir.’’ said Commodore Nichoisun, Commandant ot Navy Yurd, yesterday afternoon; “the Frank- hin is not in sight, for if she were | would certainly know it, Lam ijn direct telegrapnic communication with Sandy Huok, and had tho vessel boen seon up to hall-past four o'clock this evening | would be aware of the iact. For instance, 1 was informed some days ago that a man. ooking like the Fraukiin was observed in the ofling, and not many minutes later a camo stating that it was the school ship St. ‘y's, I suppose,” added the gallant Commodore, jo- cosely, ** ‘distui lends enchantment to the view,’ ” “Will Tweed be brought to the yard on his arrival?” “We have nothing io do with Tweed,” replied the Commodore, smiling. ‘1 presume he will bo handed over to the proper autborit ivvernor Tiluen, I suppose, or bis represoutatives, Doubtloss, every are rangement has beon made for the occusion. "1 was un- der the impression that you had called about the war- like preparations somo of the papers wero talking about., It amazes me how quickly absurd rumors get afloat.” 11,” said the Commodore, “I may stato with some certainty thutthe Franklu bad not beer beard of up to four o'clock this evening. 1 would give her, gay, between nine and ton days to cuime from st, Thomas,” he not under steam ?’? ‘es, 1 suppose so, but cven under a full head of steam she is not very fast. Should she, bowever, bo favorod by the breeze from cxst southeast, which how prevails outside, | would uot be surprised if sho made o’cloel Should she then not pass the Hook she will havo to wait until five o'clock in the evening, owing vo her great draught, for she will hardly get over the bar before that time,” “So, then, Commodore, Tweed will not be stowed in tho Navy Yard upon the arrival of the Frankliny” “The Franklin won't come here 3 all—vbat ts, im- mediately on her arrival in port. As suid before, we have nothing to do with Tweed, We have had po in- Structions about him, and, of course, al the rumors you may hear to the contrary aro simply in keeping with the statements you hear concerning our warlike preparations, When the Franklin hails in signt I snall know it very soon aiter,”? Tt 18 und pod that a number of Custom House offl- cials will go down the bay to-day if the Franklin ar- rives, aud tho Sheriff will also proceed with his posse to ag if ho revoives notice that bis prisoner has arrived, : AT LUDLOW BTREKT JAIL.
