LIGHT AND DARKNESS IN BRooKLYN-T1s

lightened in Christian pisty, are not quite -

We have had two communications lately from
residents Of that city--one complaining thas

fciency by the fact that, Is the lamps were not
lighted, the limner's labor and the expense

system Of economy in gas In their own homesv

SEwARD's CoRREsroNDENcE.-The telegraph
hxingS " the dreadful news that Secretary
Ssward's diplomatic correspondence for the
past year will comprise some three thousand
printed pages. This, IL must be remembered,
ID only one years work. How Seward can Hnd
time 70 scribble 90 much, and how the govern
ment can aiford to print his correspondence,
We cannot understand. Most authors have
hard time to get their writings published, and
many OF them pay the booksellers roundly for
the privilege; but tho complete letter writer OF
the State Department prints everything be
wrltes--good, bad or indifsrent-and charges
the bill to Uncle Sam. Seward is certainly
thc most Industrious Of Secretaries, and a. his
writings have kept oil Europe busy reading
them, so that neither Palmerston nor Napoleon
has had any time to pick quarrel with US, We
must give him the credit Of bsing very success

AN OHIO BATTLE-FLAG IN THE HANDS
OF A BISHOP

Hhs recent session of tho Pittsburg Annual
Conference Of the Methodist Protestant Church,
was characterized by an incident Of patriotic
and thrilling interest Bishop Simpson followed
tho Introductory exercises with speech, an
hour and half long, without manuscript, in
which he held his vast audience Of cultivated
Christian gentlemen, spell-bound, under his dis
ousson of the four questions :-''Shall our Gov
eminent be destroyed and swept from the Earth?
Can we be divided into two or more Govern
ments Shall we have new form of Govern
ment2 Is not the Nation to rise out of its
present troubles better, frmer and more power
tul?" During the whole Of the address Of this
wonderful orator, the assembly, in deep silence,
hung upon his lips, save when applause was
struck cut of them as with blows OF magnetism.
But scene ensued, in the delivery Of his peror-
alton, that will make this Conference memorable
to every one who attended it. An eye witness
says
"Laying his hands on the torn and ball ridded
eolors Of the 73d Ohio, he spoke of the battle
fields where they had been baptized in blood.
and described their beauty as some small patch
Of azure, filed with stars, that on angel ha 4
snatched from the heavenly canopy to set the
stripes in blood With this description began a
scene that Demosthenes might have envied All
over the vast assembly b0ndkerchiefs and hats
we're waved, and before the speaker sat down
the whole throng arose, as by magic influence,
aud screamed, and shouted, aud saluted, and
stamped, and clapped, and wept, and laughed in
wild excitement Colonel Moody sprang to the
top Of bench and called for the Star Spangled
Banner, which was sung, or rather shouted
The audience dispersed, as it had to dsperse."

THE REVIVAL or pupLIc FA1rn

The enemies Of the Administration have cited
the high price Of gold, and the consequent high
price Of all the necessaries oS life, as evidence
Of tho failure OF the Admin .tration II was
proof they said, that the people had no faitb in
their ability to put down the rebellion. To a
certain extent the assertion was true. Gold has
gone up as confidence in the Government went
down. Setting aside the natural and inevitable
effect OF large issues t paper money, and the
Efforts Of speculatOrs also TO create nn artificial
demand for coin, the price Of gold is fair mea.
sure OF the pubic confidence in the Government.
While the people believed, or feared, that ne
could not put down the rebellion,-ihat the war
would go on without restoring the Union. their
faith in the value Of Government bonds Of ne
cesslty grew less and less, aud the cumparatiye
value of gold grew more and more.
Nothing, therefore, has given the enemies of
the Government greater aid and comfort than
the high price of gold. They have pointed 10
its steady increase as proof positive that the
Administration was losing its hold on the conf
deuce OF the people. With gold, as a matter Of
course, everything else went up and this was
made the basis for fresh asssplts upon the credit
Cf the Government.
| The tables seem to be turned. Within a
month gold has fallen sirty per cent Upon the
action Of the Chicago Convention il went un.-
The public heart was full Of despondenoy aud
fear. The armios of the Union were not winning
victories. There was danger that, in moment
of doubt and dismay, the people might sar Ction
the demand made at Chicago for "cessation OF
hosliities, that the war might be abandoned
as "failure, that the rebellion would achieve
virtual triumph, aud the great Republic be
forever overthrowa
But the past three weeks have put a new face
on affairs. Farragut took FORTS Gaines and
Morgan. Sherman took Atlanta. Sheridan
smote and scattered Early aud his host. The
people oil over the land rallied to the call fol
reinforcements and poured them forth noby
and with high-hearted determination to main
tain at whatever cost the honor of the nationa
flag. Fresh courage took possession of tint
national heart. Our generals at the head OF our
armies sent forth messages Of cheer, and pro
claimed that one mere strong and united etfOr
would end the contest and restore the Union.-
The result Ia seen on every side. Public faitl
in the Government is revived. Prices ar
rapidly going back to their natural Standard
The people begin now to see that the struggle il
not hopeless,-that it draws near glorious ant
victorious end. Aud this revival OF confidence
will itself contribute more than anything else t
the victory whion il foresees.--N. Y. Times.
