HE'LL GATE.-We are glad to perceive that
the suggestions which have been thrown out in
the columns of the HERALD for more than two
years past with regard to the opening Of He'll
Gate are in fair way of being adopted. We
hope the contracts accepted by the commits
sion will be carried through without delay.
There are many interests involved in this i'm
provement. The value of property at that
end of the island must increase immensely
when the channel is opened to navigation.

twenty-three as against seventy eight have
pronounced against the amendment, and there
fore against all change. 1t therefore remains
an offence-such an offence as might justify de-
position from the holy ofice-for an Episcopal
clergyman to preach the Gospel OF Jesus
Christ anywhere but within the limits pre-
scribed by the Church. The Great Head Of
the Church said the world is the field but the
Episcopal Convention, wiser than the Master,
says the parish is the field. 1t is thus that
Christ has from the beginning suffered in the
house of his friends. Like the defunct Stuarts
and the Bourbons, who are rapidly going the
way of their former royal friends, the Episco-
pal Church will not learn. 1t is for Mr.. Tying,
as brave and honest man, now to say what
he will do.

II having been announced to the Twenty-second
regiment that Lieutenant Colonel Kenny, the popu-
lar cOmmandant, was about to resign, the members
of the different companies, headed by the re2imentai
band, marched from the arm0ry last night, to the
residence OF Colonel Kenny, In Amlty street, for
the purpose OF serenadng him and to re-
quest that he would not resign, but fulfil
the wishes of the command by accepting
the colonelcy which Ia now vacant. The COMMITTEES

Messrs. NJ u. Pearso @. II. Burns, w. j. Harding
and II. w. Stlinson. The AFFAIR was admirably con-

Seymour rs johnson Number Two.

In his late stump speech at Buffalo Mr.. Sey-
mour repeated the leading idea of his cartoon
sketch the evening before at Rochester. He
went on to say that If the democratic party
succeeded at this election it could not OF itself
make or amend laws-that so far as actual
power is concerned o democratic President
would stand in the same position held by
Andrew Johnson. Have we not had enough
of this? If another term of Andrew Johnson
is and has been the object of the democratic
party in this canvass johnson was and is their
man. They struck out for holder and more
emphatic policy, however, and Mr.. Seymour, in
falling back upon the Johnson programme is
only beating retreat. We think if johnson
had called together the two houses of Con-
gress Immediately on assuming the mantle
Of Lincoln that Southern reconstruction, both
sections being in the humor for It, would have
been settled long ago, and without Con-
gressional resort to universal negro suffrage.
We think now that conservative Presiden,
like Grant, elected as the republican candi-
date, will be better for the country thar
another Johnson administration. Grant, like
Lincoln, on sound, conservative line of &C
ton, will be able to shape the policy Of re-
publican Congress and to hold the radicals II
check. Had Johnson pursued the Lincoln
| policy of yielding little to gain much h,
might have controlled the last Congress ant
the present AT all events, we guess that Mr.
Seymour will not materially advance his cause
by abandoning the Tammany platform ant
substituting the promise Of four years more o

ternational intercourse, but we SYM
pathize somewhat with that practical
British spirit that induced Lord Stanley to
call us customers" as well as friends; and
this is the spirit that wants to know what
things are finally worth. We extract from the
utterances, then, these facts Lord Stanley and
Mr.. Johnson admire one another; they get
on very well together as representatives Of the
respective Powers, but they have not settled
the Alabama claims. ''Two great points of
dispute, said Mr.. Johnson, ''have been settled
upon terms honorable to both countries. "
Lord Stanley, with more reserve, says that two
points Of dispute will have been settled if the
government at Washington rati6es what Mr..
Johnson has done. There is no indication
what these points are. One no doubt, relates
to the topic of naturalization, but the other
does not relate to the great fact that the defect
or the connivance of English law made Eng
land base of operations against our commerce
for four years and resulted in immense
pecuniary damage to our merchants. That
topic, indeed, the diplomats seemed to have
gone over delicately. Mr.. johnson touches it
with postprandial confidence that it will
soon be settled, and Lord Stanley vaguely
hopes it may. The question Of the Alabama
claims, then, stands just thus-a solution is
''hoped for" by Lord Stanley. What may be
the exact power of his Lordship in hoping we
know no way to discover, and therefore can
not even guess when the world may expect
tangible result Meantime it is instructive to
know from so high an authority that England
respects the rights of others that if all ma
tions did this to the same extent there would
be no more wars and that there float in his
Lordship's intellectual limbo of diplomatic
possibilities ideas of the ''dispassionate arbi-
tration of some competent tribunal"
This banquet, then, is like many another
characteristic piece Of British humbuggery
John Bull seems for the moment to have pre-
pared himself deliberately for grand political
apology, and he takes refuge in sentimental
defamation. Nay, when we remember how
cheap words are to this old gentleman, who
sends out missionaries and idols in the same
that he is enjoying our simplicity in keer
laugh at the notion that this demonstration
had any reference to us at all. We see, II
short, that it is British electioneering piece
We see that the descendant of Alb, aham
Isaac and Jacob moves all the pieces in this
game of playing at politics with the English
people and doing what he may to cheat the
liberals of that other great piece Of political
capital-their sympathy with and friendship
for the American people. Sympathy with
popular institutions as typiied on this side the
Atlantic is, indeed, the best card Of the liberals
before the English people. Yet, says Disraeli,
in effect we are better friends with America
than the liberals, and these very Alabama
claims are legacy from a liberal govern
ment; while if you come to our banquet YOU
shall hear our praises from the American Min
lister himself.

The Bourbons Of tho Episcopal Church.


The Tying case, now of some months stand
ing. has been forced afresh before the
public mind Of the Church and the world by
the decisive action which has been taken by
the Convention on the Objectionable canon
under which the Rev. s. II. Tying was CON
demned. 1t was not unnatural that the con-
sideration of such q canon should have been
deemed necessary. Public sympathy was
strongly excited by this case during the period
of Mr.. Tyngs trial, and public sympathy, in
spite of the sentence Of the Church, was in
favor of the condemned. BY universal con-
sent parties outside Of the clerical body con-
dcmned the obnoxious canon. II was and it
is still by such parties Judged ''unchurch-like,
unchristian and uncatholic." We quote
these words for the special benefit Of

England aud tine United States-The Ban.
quef TO Rcverdy johnson.
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, United States Minis
ter to England, was entertained and addressed
at Liverpool on Thursday last, as is duly re-
corded elsewhere, by the corporate authorities
of that commercial city and body called the
American Chamber of Commerce. There was
q banquet and there were speeches by Mr.
Johnson, Lord Stanley and Mr.. Gladstone; and
the speeches were such as would excite peace
societies to paroxysms of philanthropic enthu-
siasm and hilarity, unless, indeed, tho peace
men might imagine that the orators were too
much in love with peace. Sometimes men see
most wildly the beauties of given condition
just as it is likely to pass away; and thus we
might apprehend, with all that was said at
Liverpool, that our relations with England were
not Of the most pacific character, If we did not
know that cabinet wars were impossible as
between this and any other country, and
were not confident that the American people
take so cool a view Of our relations with Great
Britain that they would not fight even for the
Alabama claims, much as the continued re-
f,sal to pay those claims determines popular
resolution to keep them in mind for satisfac-
tory occasion.
In view of the many amiablc expressions
made at this banquet 1t may SAVIOR Of i'll nature
and disposition to be querulous il we in
quire plainly what all the utterances and the
festivity amounted to. We would not depre-
/ cate the tendency Of pleasant speeches nor
underrate the possible effect of

BLAIR, SEYMOUR AND JOHNSON. THE gal
vanized vitality of the democratic campaign is
strikingly manifest this morning in the speeches
we give from the two candidates on the stump,
and in an Indictment to Mr.. Seymour from Prcsi-
dent Johnson, coupled with hope that Sey-
mour, in talking for the constitution, may wag
the tongue of inspiration. 1t will be noted that
Blair positively denies having said that Grant
would be assassinated.

MORE STEAMBOAT MIsMANAGEMENT.-
other steamboat disaster is chronicled in our
columns to-day, by which propeller, with
passengers, was cut in two On the Sound by
one Of the large Sound steamers. There was
some misunderstanding of the signals, and II
is charged that the propeller was not lighted
as a steamer should be, and thus the pilot on
the other boat was led to calculate his dis
lance as from sailing vessel. 1t is hardly less
than miracle that there was not terrible loss

The radical press Is pouring down a persaot
avalanche Of abuse upon Judge Barnard. of
the Supreme Court, because there happens to
be good number of people naturalized in his
court. We suppose that Judge Barnard can
not help that. 1t is part of his judicial BUSH
ness to receive afidavits certifying to the
proper qualifications of applicants for citizen
snip. de has, in fact, no authority to refuse
the privilege when the application comes prop
erly before him. Whence, then, the cutlery? tits
amusing to observe the vehemence with which
the organs Of both political parties charge
fraud upon each other in this matter of natu-
ralization, when it is notorious that there is as
much fraud practised on one side as on the
other. Let us take, for example, the frauds in
the recent Pennsylvania election. The leading
managers of the radical party do not deny that
they have obtained as many fraudulent natural
ization papers and scolonized" as many voters
in districts in which they had no residence az
the democrats did, and perhaps little more,
because they had more money to spend; and
we know that in elections, as in most other
affairs of life, cit is money that makes the
mare CO."
We do not observe that the radical journals
take much notice of the whiskey frauds and
the other delicate and intricate arrange
ments in the Internal Revenue Department.
Upon these points they are as solemn as the
tomb, probably because the frauds are all in
favor of radical officials, or probably because
the keen sense Of Christian charity which
governs the radical journals forbids them to
expose the weakness Of human nature. The
public can take their choice.
We know that in 1864, when Presidential
election was pending, the campaign in the
South, upon which the life of the republic de-
pended, was almost suspended in order to let
the soldiers come home to vote the radical
ticket, and we heard not word of comment
from the radical press at that time But now.
when Judge sitting on the bench in purl
suance of his duty admits to citizenship, which
implies the right of franchise, persons who
are, to the best of his knowledge, according
to the sworn facts before him, entitled to that
privilege, the radical journals como out in q
furious TRADE against him. The only safe
guard of the people in such cases rs these is
the independent press, which cuts like two
edged sword and steps in between the rights
Of the citizen, the attributes of the judiciary
and the vindictive assaults of party news
papers.

Our Duty was PIaIn..We at Once Re-
signed our Agency.

Messrs. Lansingh Osborne, Of Albany,
n. Y, in a recent card to the puolc, frankly
say +" Ii is well known that for several
years we have been prominently engaged IN
the sale Of Sewing Machines. Untll recent
ly we sold only 'double-thread' ones, be-
heving them TO be the best. But experience
has satisfied US that however nsefUl double
threaded machines NAV be for certain pur-
poses, and for those who have sufficient
skill to use them successfully, they are all
more complicated and difficult OF manage
menl than a machine for general family use
should be. On the other hand, the Wilcox
& Gibbs Machine, which uses only q single
thread, and makes a new and more reliable
stitch, Is a machine Of such unrivalled sim
plicty, ease Of management, and general
perfection, a. adapt II TO URirersdI use; and
make il what the public need, a perfect
Eamily Sslcing MacAine-saiirble tOr all
purpoSs-Gnd adapted 10 al capacities.
With one of these Machines Installed as
member Of the household, The hand-needle
that fruitful source Of m;sery-loses all
its terrors: while the double-thread vexa-
ton over disorderet machinery-over the
winding of bobbius, threading Of under
needless setting nd resetn Of curved
ones, adjusting Of compound tensions, &c,
is all avoided and the mending Of broken
stitches after washing and ironing is re-
duced to a mere 1.-THE of what it was under
the old, double thresd dispensation. Yet
this like every other really meritorous in
vention. has had its opposers, and some
have not SCRUBBED to represent the stitch as
unreliable But the public are now too well
posted on the subject not to know that the
'old chain-stitch' is one thing, and the
twisted loor-stitch, another, and that the
seam of the Wilcox 4 Gibbs is much
stronger, and much less liable to fail in use,
than any double-thread one.
We have always made it a rule, as our
patrons know, TO regard their interests, as
well as our own hence when We found q
letter machine than the one we were selling
had been introduced, GU. duty was plain -
we at once resigned our sgency Of the
double thread machine, and obtained the
agency Of the better oHc-the Wilcox &
Gibbs.

TaE PoLYTEcHxr EcaooL. AT the last meet
ing Of the common council, Mr.. @. @. P. Hol
den, chairman of the finance committee, pre-
scented the following report on the subject Of
making an appropriation for the location Of ID.
Polytechnic School Of the Illinois industrial Uni
versity, In this city:
Resolved, That The following proposition be,
and the same Is, hereby made 70 the Board O
Trustees Of the Mechanical or Polytechnic Uni
versity, to-wit: II and upon condition that ths
trustees Of said mechanical department shall
permanently locate said department and il.
buildings at site within one-half mile Of the
geographical center Of the city Of Chicago, the
common council will, and hereby pledges itsel
70 make application to the general assembly u
this state, at its next regular session. for power
issue seven per cent bonds Of the said city to
the amount Of $250,00 as an Endorsement for
said mechanical Department, and, upon obtain
ing such power, will, within ninety DAYS there
alter, issue and deliver to the trustees OF said
mechanical or polytechnic department, for the
purpose aforesaid, the said amount Of $3.50 600
OF seven per cert bonds Of the city OF Chicago.
Now that the committee, without exception,
have redeemed their pledges, i, remains to be
seen What the mechanics Of Chicago will do,
We suggest that mass N seting be held With.
out delay, and that the gentlemen who have
shown such a Evey interest in the success Of
the project, be invited TO address it, BY this
means two-fold purpose viii be accomplished.
Il will afford our tizens, irrespective of party,
an opportunity of expressing their views on the
question, and also be the means Of removing a
deal of ignorance and prejudice at present ex-
listing regarding il.
