Philadelphia; T. B. Peterson.
Mr.. Emerson Bennett Is favoribly known TO tho
public as a successful writer Of stories descriptive Of
frontier So and scenes Of pioneer and Indian warfare.
In this volume lie enters upon new feld and in
spite OF its exhaustion by previous aborcrs has
gathered some sound and valuable fruit. His topics
drawn from the evils existing in the hear Of tho
great cities of civilization which ne illustrates by en-
impressive narrative embodying many incidents OF ac-
tual life in Philadelphia Hc has taken pains to fully
inform himself on the subject and thus has the sivan
tage of writing from personal knowledge His pic
lures accordingly possess air OF reality which Is not
often found in The high-wrought hctons devoted 70
similar purpose. Many of them exhibit great ntensi-
ty of conception and clothed in vivid colos. But
they do not shock the common of the reader by
their evident mprobabity. Nor in his dclneaticns OF
the consequences of vice. does Mr.. Benlett wound the
feeling of docorum which Is powerful a safeguard
of morality. His work belongs 70 an order of eompo-
ston which is easily overione. The public taste has
well nigh been surfc.tcd by It's excess. But Mr. Ben
nett has performed his task with much discretion as
wei as power that he must not only be forgiven, but
commended for adding 20 class of writings of which

The Church PrOperty Law.

The law passed by the last Legislature known
as,the Church Property Law, secured millions Of
dollars worth Of property from the hands Of the
catholic clergy to tho custody of the Catholic peo-
PIE. luis ON originated in the Senate. II was
passed by that body and in the lower House not
without struggle. There was every disposition
TO strange it. The power alone was wanting
From the Legislature 1t was cent to the Governor
ior his approval, and by him it was retained
until the last moment, and fears naturally existed
that the powerful Influences which had been
brought to bear in opposition to the bill in the
Legislature, were to prove successful with the
Executive. However, the popular demand was al
last assented to, and the bill becamea law.
1t is now on the statute books Whether Il
will remain there depends wholly upon what sort
OF Legislature we have next winter 1.-THE Weed
Regency can command majority, the law will be
repealed, because Bishop Hughes will demand Il.
and his demand, at any time, and for anything,
this Regency dare not refuse. They are indebted
to him for votes Tho man whom Gov. Seward
has publicly declared is his friend, and that he
lMr, Seward) admires respects, and confidcs in,
is not without potential voice at Albany when
Mr.. Stewards friends are in power,
Erastns Brooks, as We all know, gave the bill
his powerful, advocacy, and out of his speech in
support of the bill, grew his famous controversy
with Bishop Hughes Mr. Brooks ia now ia norni-
nation for reelection, by the Americans, There
were Wings among his constituents who were de-
sirous that he should also receive the Wing nomi-
nation, but Mr., Stewards friends in the district
could not think Of thus offending the Archbishop,
aud therefore rallied at the Wing caucus, and
after a long struggle succeeded in nominating
Seward man over Mr.. Brooks, by one vote,
y Let no ono suppose that the divorce made by
the Legislature betceen CAurch and STATE is to be
maintained without an effort. The willy Archbishop
II not the man TO rest In quiet under defeat. His
whole power and influence win be exerted to de-
feat Mr.. Brooks and every Senator who voted for
the Church Property bill aud who is suspected Of
American instincts. And in this, he viii have the
active aid and cooper lion of the Regency at
Albany. Therefore, while Albany politicians, under
the guise of fusion or republcanism, unite with
the Catholic clergy to repeal just and righteous,
and Democratic Republican law, lot the friends of
that law prepare 10 work together Whether the
Church Property bill shall be sustained is a live
issue at the coming election. Let it be remem-
bercd.

GRyAr DESTRUCTION OF WHEAT. - Yesterday

poured directly into the river. Fortunately, no

solid stream into the river. What the loss Of the
