BANKRUPT LAW AND MORTGAGES.

The Commercial editor Of the New Orleans
Times refers to point Of paramount importance
to holders of mortgages on real estate. Ihe ques
ton is this Whether, under the bankrupt Act
in cases of parties availipg themselves Of the Act
surrendering property which may be under mort
gage, the Judge Of the United States court can or
der the erasure of mortgages on the records OF tn
mortgage Office The editor says: =, a
'sf'It will be remembered that under the Act o.
1S42, or the last national bankrupt Act, the pre-
siding Judge could direct the erasure OF all mort
papes: that the mortgages merely could have ;
privilege on the assets or proceeds of the property
released. twill be remembered that the proceed
of much real estate, sold under the order Of bank
ruptcy, under that law, did not command one
fonrth or half the sum for which it was valued o.
cost"
The editor then quotes the case of Mr.. Thoma!

4 DEAR SIR: You have done me the honor to cal
for my opinion relative to the action Of the South
part in politics, [ do not feel well qualified to ad'
wise on so momentous question; nevertheless, q.
the same desire to obtain my views has been mani
tested from various quarters, shall not shrink from
the responsibility of expressing them, in the hope
that they may tend to quiet the public mind, sc
justly alarmed at this moment. Sa=s,r-.1-s1
In my humble opinion, we have but one or two
things to do-ressst or submit The first Is mad.
missible, in our painfully exhausted condition =
-Four years of desperate war have taught us that
the argument of the sword can no longer be re-
sorted to by us to redress our grievances. We
must therefore, submit; but with that calm dignl-
ty becoming our manhood and our lost independ-
ence. ......-..-...
Having been overpowered in the late struggle,
we can submit to the harsh and ungenerous condi-
tions of our conquerors without dishonor, and we
must adopt the least of two evils futile resistance
would only cause our rvets to be driven closer; we
must then acquiesce or leave the country. But we
love too dearly the land of our birth to abandon it
in its hour of severest trial We should avoid, al
so bringing it, by internal dissensons, to the con-
dition Of poor Mexico, and the unfortunate South
American Republic.
With regard to the suffrage of the freedmen,
however Objectionable it may be at present. it is an
element of strength for the future IF properly
handled and directed, we shall defeat our adverse
ries with their own weapon. .... q.
The negro is Southern born with little edu: "a
ton and some property qualifications, he can be
made to take sufficient interest in the affairs and
prosperity of the South to insure intelligent vote
on his part.
In our future political contests with the North,
on protective tariffs internal Improvements, ETC.,
the freedmen of the South will side with the whites
of the South and the West, and they will thus con-
tribute to give us back the influence we formerly
had in the councils of the nation -
Our people should understand that the radicals
can remain in power only so long as the public ex.
element is kept up as with the turbid waters of
the Mississippi River, the sedimentary particles
are kept up at the surface only so long as the wa
ters are in motion the instant the CURRENTS check
ed, those particles fall to the bottom Thus will it
be with the radicals, when peace and quiet are re-
stored to the country; the conservatives will then
take the reins in their own hands, and the consti-
tutonal laws of the land will once more prevail
remain yours, respectfully, ~
.- G. u. BEAUREGARD.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.

BY JOHN @. SAKE.
How goes the money? Well,
Pm sure it isn't hard to tell;
It goes for rents and water rates,
For bread and butter, coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps and carpets, hoops and hose;
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Nay,
Don't everybody know the way?
It goes for bonnets, coats and capes,
Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, grapes,
Shawls, ribbons, furs, furbelows,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money! Sure,
I wish the ways were somewhat fewer!
It goes for wages, taxes, debts,
It goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paints, pomade and eau de rose;
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Now,
I've scarce begun to mention how;
It goes for feathers, laces, rings,
Toys, dolls, and other baby things,
Whips, whistles, candies, belts and bows
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Come,
I know it does not 60 for rum;
It goes for school and Sabbath chimes.
Itgoes for charity sometimes,
For missions and such things as those,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money! There, .
Pm out Of patience, declared
It goes for plays and diamond pins,
For public aims and privats sins,
For hollow shams and silly shows,
And that's the way the money goes.

OBITUARY.
Mr.. John PhillIp, II. A.

The steamer brings MS word that Mr.. Jonn
Phillip, the well-knOwn English painter OF
Spanish life and manners, died somewhat sud
denly at his house in London, on Wednesday,
February 19, at the age of fifty. He had
never enjoyed thoroughly good health, and
about five weeks before his death had been
suffering under an attack of low fever, from
which he had nearly recovered when he was
attacked with paralysis while on visit to
his friend, Mr.. Firth.
He was removed to his own house in
senseless condition, from which he did not
recover. Mr.. Phillip was Scotchman by
birth, native of AberdeenshiA and was
originally a hOuse-painter. He entered the
Royal Academy as a student in 1887, was
made an associate in 1857, and in 1859 re-
ceived the title of Royal Academician. Mr.
Phillips powers as an artist were not OF the
highest order; he had a certain skill in seizing
the more obvious characteristics of his sub
iect, and great facility and cleverness in all
that belonged to the mechanical part of
his art.
lie drew well, his color was effective and
not disagreeable, and his pictures almost
always told their story clearly. But he never
aimed at anything higher than popularity,
and his truth-telling only skinned the sur
face, from which it followed that he fell easily
into repetitions and mannerisms; and having
found a fortunate and happy mine, was con-
tent to work In it so long as it should reward
his labor. His pictures have no lasting quail
ties, and his reputation VIII not endure; but
it may be hoped that the delight which
the public long showed in his work
may lead some one of the younger English
artists to do for Spain what Lewis,
and SeddOn, and Holman Hunt, in England,
and Gerome in France have done for Egypt
and Syria-give us a series of pictures in
which shall be found not merely a reflex of
fthe superficial manners of her people, but a
revelation of their life and character. Spain
offers magnificent field to tho Birthstone as
yet almost untouched-and the most we have
thank Mr.. Phillips for is that he excited a
strong interest in that romantic country, and
limited at the treasure an artist might hope to
win thpae

WHO is M'CRACEEN.?

Some light may be thrown on the question
Of the identity of the new Peeping Tom by
the following extract which we are permitted
to make from private letter, dated Paris,
February 3d.
"a pair of Americans Of my acquaintance
pointed out to me in GdtignGnt this morning

on the strength Of whose letter to Johnson
Seward wrote an almost as shameful one to Mr..
Motley, is --- q. W. McCracken, and joining
to this identity of name some other little like
lihOods, they are much inclined TO believe
that this Citizen OF the United states is
the same person whom we have the
honor of counting on our visiting list Some
time last September, or early in october, was
told at the Consulate thai n Mr.. McCacl1en,

and come to Europe (as many foolish fellows
do), without sufficient means of paying his eX-
penses His father in-law was rich but mean.
He had written letters to several papers, and
was sure of money coming to him here from
some one in Chicago; was surprised at the
delay, was sure that Mr.. Nicolay (our Consul,
then off for his quarters vacation, IN swift
Zprland), would furnish him money, being a
friend of his; asked a trifle of me to carry him

RlTUALISM.
Sermon by Rev. DIR. Tyng ON RitualIsm

Sermon by Rev. DIR. Tying on RituNlIsm.
The Rev. DIR. Tying, Rector of st. Georges
Church, preached the third sermon in the
course on "Ritualism, under the auspices of
the "Evangehcal knowledge Society,"" last
evening, in the Church of the Ascension Fifth
avenue and Tenth street, to full cOngrega-
ton.
The reverend gentleman took for his text
the twenty-third verse of the twenty-fOurth
chapter of Matthews Gospel, and stated that
''the one great promise of the Old Testament
was Christ's coming" referring TO the glory
of His coming, His mission and subsequent
sutferings and disgrace, and to the Importance
of believing that on the reality of this true
Christ rests the happiness of mankind; that
the setting up of a false Christ for the real Is
fearful and destructive, and reminding his
hearers that it was most destructive to deny
Christ's divine qualifications and divine
person, referring them to the words
1'Unto us is a child born, the Father Of
an everlasting age;" stating that through
death Christ was cOnquerer over
death, and that his death worked mans recon-
ciliation with God. The true Christ was to
''rule on the throne;" that there was to be
none besides him; that He to whom God said,
'Let all angels of God worship Thee stands
before us ''as the one Deity clothed with
infinite power" lie divided that part of his
discourse which related to the false Christ
under four heads, namely-First, the false
Christ of Theoretical Rationalism;" second
of "Impertinent Traditionalism;" third, of a
"Hollow CeremoniaGsm;" fourth, of "Assum-
ing Ecelesiasticalism'' and earnestly ex-
horted his hearers to turn from those "minis-
ters of Satan" who set up those false
Christs. Those of theoretical rationalism'
he held to be Unitarians and the upholders of
liberal Christianity, and denounced the
writing of the essayists and reviewers, includ-
ing the "puerile Colenso," as well as those OF
Robertson as heretical for denying that the
s'Word'' was written under the inspiration OF
the Holy Ghost Under the second head Of
'impertinent traditionalism, he classed the
followers of the anti-Nicene fathers and those
who state that the Bible is unintelligible to
them. Thirdly, "hollOw ceremonialism" was
the rejection of the whole scheme of salvation
through Christ, and the holding of the theory
that man arrives at it by his own works. And
fourthly, the false Christ of assuming eccle
siastieal SIN" was that of the Episcopal Church
and in the belief that the actual body anC
blood of Christ was in the bread and win
taken at communion.
DIR. Tying concluded his discourse by refer
ring to the denominations of Roman Catholi
cism-its gross superstitions, gaudy trappings
and prestcraft.

Mission" was made at the close of the sermon

pTietOr and hts sOn-One Of the As
sailants Shot, Etc.
On Saturday night, at about half-past 8
o'clock, three ruffans entered the hotel of Mr..
Bachmeyer, known as the Glendale House,
located about halfway between Newark and
New York, and committed a murderous as
sault on the proprietor and his son, julius,
both of whom were severely injured.
The particulars Of the affair are as follows
Shortly after o'clock, on the night in uues-
tiOn Mr. Bachmeyer and his son were about
to close up the bar-room, as little or no bust
ness is done in that remote locality after g.
when three evil-looking men entered and
called for drinks, which were promptly fur
nished. The men spent short time in read
ing the papers, Mr.. Bachmeyer and julius
being engaged in making preparations for
closing up, unmindful of the intentions of
their visitors. Suddenly one of the fellows
jumped up, and, presenting revolver at
the now terrified father and son, cried
out, "YOur money or your lives" The
others followed his example, and, with
out moments warning, the three discharged
their weapons. One of the balls grazed Mr..
Bachmeyer's cheek, while another passed
through the arm of his son, iniicting a severe
wound. Not satisfied with this, each of the
rufians drew forth a sabre and assaulted the
proprietor, who received three serious wounds
in the head julius managed to escape into
a back room, where he secured loaded gun
which was standing against the wall. A boy,
about fourteen years old, hearing the cries for
aid, rushed out from the rear room, when the
rufians made dash for him, trying to muir
der the little fellow Fortunately they only sue
ceeded in wounding him. julius returned to
the barroom with the gun, which he dis
charged at the assailants, one of whom fell.
His companions turned and again fired, one of
the balls passing through the leg of young
Bachmeyer, just below the thigh. They then
seized their wounded cOmrade and retreated
from the place, followed by julius, who was
determined to be avenged. Painting from the
loss of blood, however, the latter was unable
to proceed far and fell to the ground after
firing shot at the fugitives.
DR.. Max Kneohler was summoned to attend
Mr.. BachmeyeT and his son, one DR.. A. Heit-
zog having, as stated refused his services, on
the ground that he might be called upon to
testify in court. 1t was then ascertained that
the father had received injuries of a dangerous
though not necessarily fatal nature. The suf-
ferings of the injured party were partially
allayed, and they are now as comfortable as
possible.
Intelligence of the affair was communicated
to the police of Newark, Jersey City, and New
York, but no clue was obtained to the where
abouts of the assailants, who are as yet at
large The affair has caused intense excite
ment in the vicinity and among the people of
