those who follow her, and upon the churches
Of the Reformation and the nations that follow
them, sees but one tree-a tree still barren
and mutilated but, gifted with the prophets
eye, and yielding to the impulses Of great
and generous heart, he beholds upon that tree
the brilliant flower and the savory fruit
one God, one faith, one baptism'-and it is his
hope and confident belief, that yet there shall
be but zone flock and one shepherd"
This programme, this confession of faith, is
quite to our mind. We could ask nothing
more. We would be contented with nothing
less. If is not sufficiently positive 1t is far
from being negative, and 1t is broad and gen.
erous and catholic in the true sense A more
noble Christian platform never called for the
sufIrages of mankind. Although he does not
say 1t in so many words the Father knows
that he lives in the nineteenth century, and
that steam, electricity and the printing press
have now to do with the thoughts, the feel
ings and the habits Of men. Time was when
Melchzedek was the pattern man. Men had
to be taught and they had to be ruled, and tie
teaching and the ruling had to be done by one and
the same person. The priest was the king
and the king was the priest. That time has
long since passed away. Time was-and that
time is not 30 remote-when the priest was the
only teacher. In those days there were books,
but the books were few and very timid. AS
yet there was no newspaper. That other
time has passed away; for the printed vol
umes, which are numerous, have become dar-
ing and aggressive and the newspaper is at
once the monarch and the teacher-the king
and the priest-of the hour. Evidently the
good Father sees and bows to facts. We can
have no more Romish supremacy; and we
are nearly tired of Protestant tyranny. But
we have not wholly ceased to believe. There
are hundreds of thousands of good men
men who think, who are Christian to the core,
although sick of ecclesiasticism-who well
come this grand, open, generous, non-com-
initial platform of Father Hyacinthe; and If
the Father has only the courage to persevere
those hundreds of thousands will not be slow
to rally around him. The civilized world is
Christian, although torn and divided; but if
only the old motto were adoptcd-''in essen
tials unity, in non-essentials charity, in all
things truth"-the civilized world would
become unit as far as unity is desirable.
The Hyacinthe platform is the only platform
that promises this unity. AS we have ceased
to hope any good thing from the Ecumenical
Council, and as we do not expect much from
the Evangelical Alliance, we earnestly advise
Father Hyacinthe to stand to his platform, to
take full advantage his opportunity and to lay
broad and deep the foundations of the church
of the future.

A War or Fire In Cuba.

General Cespedss, President of the Cuban
republic, has issued decree urging the
Cubans devoted to the cause of independence
to the destruction Of every sugar cane field on
the island, and that "the ripening tobacco
crop be also destroyed as far as may be,
whether in the field or after gathered for
curing The object is to reduce rs far as pos
sible the revenues Of $37, 900, 900 which Spain
derives from Cuban sugar, tobacco and other
products, and from which she obtains her
sinews of war. The emancipated blacks, who
know every plantation, road, and bypath
in the island, are to be chiefly employed in
this war of fire. "The more effectually, says
Cespedes, "this work of destruction is accom-
plshed the more swiftly will our holy cause DO
advanced and the goal of freedom reached.
This has startling sound; but such is war.
1t is precisely the course pursued by Sheridan,
under the orders of Grant, in the Shenandoah
Valley, and by Sherman on leaving Atlanta for
his march TO the sea- Cespedes also aims to
strike the enemy in his most vulnerable
point, and we may expect, therefore, that
there will be such terrible Examinations over
Cuba meantime that, with the meeting of
Congress, the attention of the two houses will
be drawn by General Grant to the expediency
of some decisive measures of Intervention in
behalf Of peace.

Governor Hoffman Gives the Signal.


On Friday evening last Governor Hoffman
was serenaded at Albany by the "Jackso-
mans" and in recognizing the compliment he
made a speech. 1t was not long speech,
but it was the most important democratic
speech that has been made on New York
affairs for twenty years. We shall here repro
duce few of its leading points. First of all
the Governor said, ''We propose to make the
Legislature of New York honest" This is o
great thing, but the undertaking is SO tremen-
dous that we fear that the Governors promise
will not be fulfilled. He next says that the
radicals will be shown that in democratic Leg
islature there are no men Of the kind who can
be bought. Here, again, our enthusiasm falls
short of the Governors, and ''the proof Of the
pudding is in the eating thereof" Thirdly,
the Governor touches the pith and marrow of
his subject. He says 1--WE propose to give to
the people of the State Of New York, all over
the right of self-government. We propose to
abolish such laws as infringe upon the rights
of localities and to secure to them the right to
govern themselves. We shall not abolish such
laws and give the people something worse, but
will give them better laws. We propose to
make the State of New York and the govern
ment in all its branches, thoroughly demo-
cratic"
Thoroughly democratic" means that all the
republican party legislation for this State of
the last fifteen years will be knocked on the
head; that all the Independent commissions
and boards of this city will be abolished; that
King Kennedy viii be dethroned; that the des-
potism of the Excise law will be removed, and
the botheration of the registry that in short,
in the removal of the radical restraints and
outrages from the masses of this island, and
in new enlargement of the spols, we shall
have a sort Of democratic millennium. Very
good. We are glad of the change The
republican party in It's long reign over the
State has become awfully corrupt. Its legis-
lators have become so debased that they have
been bought and sold. Greeley has pro-
claimed it from the housetops, and has
demanded that these corrupted republican
traders DO turned out. The people have
responded by turning the whole party out as
the shortest way of rebuking republican
rascalties. Governor Hoffman understands
it; yet still we think that he promises too
much. But we shall see.

Newspaper Enterprise In England.

George Peabody died in London last Thurs
day night, at half-past eleven o'clock. The
London journals of yesterday morning say the
event occurred at such late hour it could
not be widely published until to-day" Satur-
day. The English writer's have consequently
just commenced to tell all about the great
millionaire and philanthropist. Mr.. Pea
body's death, as we have already shown, was
reported by special cable telegram at the
HERALD building at ifty-eight minutes past
eight o'clock Thursday evening, and history
Of his life to the latest moment Of his existence
was published in our columns before daybreak
Friday morning. II the London editors pos
sessed any business enterprise they would
have telegraphed to us by cable, in ''a gen.
tlemanly manner, you know" requesting few
of the leading items Of his public career,
which we should perhaps have transmitted to
them in reply, SO as to enable them to ''get
out" something on Friday; oblging them in
this respect in the same spirit in which we
aided the British War Office from this side to
tell her Majesty Queen Victoria of the triumphs
of her troops in Abyssinia long before they
had heard word about the glorious news.
Is it any wonder there are only three paying
newspapers In London?

A VoTE OF THANKS. Jewish Reform
Convention, previous to separating at Phila-
dclphia, passed vote of thanks to the New
York HERALD, which we accept in the spirit
which dictated the compliment The HERALD
has always been and always will be
courteous and fair with every religion and
every race, especially to those who are unjustly
suffering from disabilities and persecution.
1t has been at all times willing to sustain the
cause OF nationalities, races and religions at
which injustice in any form has levelled its
blows. The Israelites in the United States
and throughout the world may be embraced
in this category; and for that reason, as well
as because Of the excellence which has always
characterized their career in this country, they
have had the respect and SUPPORT OF the
HERALD. This is the second tire that con-
vention representing the faitRv of Israel has
expressed its thanks for the services OF this
journal.

THE NEW PosT OFFICE GONG AHEAD
The way In which the work is pushed forward
on this promised structure Is worthy of all
praise. 1t seems to be fully intended by those
having the labor in charge that the present
generation shall have tho benefit of the new
edifce, and they are willing to show that we
live in an age that has made some discoveries.
For instance, they completely do away with
the old prejudice that work is only to be done
in the day. Every hour in the twenty-four is
held equally good in that triangle, and the
men who work under the blaze of the Drum
mond lights work to as much effect as those
that have the sunshine. 1t is promised that
the wall will be above the fence in December,
and it seems as if we may have the whole
exterior within a year. That will be rather
better time than the Court House time.

THE GIANT HoIsTED. Finally the illustrious
stone Welshman Of Onondaga has been lifted
out of the place in which no was found and
taken to Syracuse. Tho full view Of him in

trench, and he seems likely to prove one Of
the most interesting discoveries made on our
Continent this long while. Do not the illus

SENSATION REPORT OF BOHEMIAN ORGAN

report Qrom Washington?) about resuming
specie payments on the LIST Of nsxf January.
1t remarks. however, that the precise mode
which Mr.. Boutwell, will adopt to bring about
that result is not clear. This is the only clear
thing in the report. All the rest is muddy
enough. No one is SO insane as to imagine that
any scheme can be concocted to bring about
specie payment either by the LIST of January
,or by the last of December, 1870. Nor is Mr..
Boutwell, SO stupid as to talk about making the
effort. People will only laugh at this weak
attempt to create sensation about specie
payments.

FISK, JR.-We publish to-day an interest

life" of James Fisk, Jr., whose operations
in railroads and steamboats,, opera houses

two years have ''made his name familiar in
our mouths as household words" The spoils,
the name and fame for which other aspiring
men have TO struggle for ten, twenty, thirty
or forty years, Fisk has achieved in two-the
moral of which, according to young New
York, is go thou and do likewise" En- pas

on the late gold ring will have Mr.. Fisk
before them tomorrow.

THE NEW ORDER OF BURGLARY.-During
the summer some thousands OF dollars worth
of goods were taken from house in the city
that had been left in charge of some trusted
persons while the family was out Of town. 1t
now appears that the theft was committed by
the persons who had the care Of the house.
Although this is only such a betrayal Of trust
as may be heard of at any time, yet 1t is
especially worthy of notice to the large num-
Der of citizens who leave their houses in the
same way every summer. 1t does not answer
to repose such 9 trust In person not

Among the foreign fashions duly noted by
our correspondent to-day is ''that partial
suicide, called DUEL" exemplifed by the
recent encounter between Prince de Meter
mich and the Count de Beaumont. But such
fashion is unlikely to become prevalent
here until ''hirtation" shall cease to be con-
fined for the most part to unmarried ladies.
The dazzling descriptions which come from
Constantinople of the Oriental magnifcence
with which the Chateau of Beilerbey has been
fitted up for the reception of the Empress
may tempt Paris and New York manufacturers
of furniture to initiate the semi-barbaric gold
and glitter Of Asiatio styles. Meanwhile the
Partisan bellies who follow in the suite of the
Empress on her Egyptian trip have made the
mistake of supposng ''that they must be
worked all over with gold, and have had
sunptuous Oriental braiding put on every
As our correspondent observes, 'the Bedouins
In high life Gee that sort Of attire every day,
and Partisan bellies would have been wiser
if they had carried thither pure French styles,
which Mussulmans could not have resisted"
In Paris itself, excepting the brilliant toilets at
the Italiens and ''the rich Regence styles for
full Dress" rich simplicity prevails, and
''the great idea this season is plain cloth
suit, olive green being preferred, no trimming,
but faultless cut" A black silk costume is
particularly designated as in vogue for the
winter, together with new high hat, the
belle Gabrielle, pointed bodices, ruflles and
with pagoda sleeves, square pockets and
Bohemian brandebourgs down the front.
Notwithstanding brief glimpses of Indian
summer weather, foretokens of winter fashions
and fars already begin to appear in New York
as we'll as in Pa ris.

SANTANA OUT AGAIN.-lt turns out that
Santanta, chief of the Kiowas and the terror
of the white settlers on the Plains, is not dead
after all, as reported few days ago, but is
alive and on the warpath against the whites.
This fellow is regarded by the military officers
on the frontier as the greatest devil of all the
warriors in that region. Years ago he was
doomed to such mercy only as the wolf
should receive. His determination has been
vowed by many an officer, should he ever fall
into the clutches of our troops. There may
be chance to catch him in the campaign
which he is now inaugurating, and If any Of our
soldiers come across him he will get short shrift.

of the Thames crew, annoyed by defeat,
picked quarrel with the American oarsman,
Walter Browne, which resulted in the latter
being rather roughly handled. Fortunately
for the reputation of the Thames crew, somo
friends interfered and prevented more serious
results. The young bloods of the English
boat clubs should know better than to ill-treat
stranger. The Oxford men set q good exam
pie, which the Thames and Tyne crews should
have followed

Virginia Senators.

Oar Virginia exchanges are much excit-
ed over the election of United States Sen
ators by the Legislature soon to assemble.
They have differed as to whether tho LIE
pisiatnre, while Provisional only, should
elect one party contending 1t was good
policy to do 80, and even essential to the
admission OF the State into the Union,
while the other holds that it is not only
not necessary but would be illegal. These
latter also believe that delay might be
attended with the power, or rather pe'nals-
sion of Congress to select men moro in har-
mony with the feelings and opinions OF
the people than would now be allowed to
take their seats. We suppose, however,
that the late opinion Of Attorney General
HoAR will end this controversy and the
election will ba held in accordance with
his views.
The most prominent names mentioned
for Senators are General ROBERT WILLIAMS
and DIR. SHARPE. The former is spoken Of
as a gentleman of good abilities and of con-
eervatiye views. He married the widow of
a.
narrow minded, malicious partisan, of lit
tie ability, thoroughly Radical, and has
made himself very odiOua TO tho people OF
Virginia. But, then, he il tho brother in

pie don't need more than Il Thousand rea-
CONS to advocate tho claims of some men
for high stations in tho Government.

for HORACE GREELEY for Senator. This Is
of course "for policy" and the PROPOSE
ton is being seriously considered, notwith'
standing GREELEY is not eligible for the
want of citizenship. Col. FLoURNOY, Hon.
A. Il. Fl. STUART, JOHN +. LEWIS, b. JOHN
SON BARBOUR, STEARNs, SEGAE and others
are all put forward by political AMI per
sonal friends. We take it for granted that

test, and these high positions will be pros
tituted to the necessities of the present
We are not prepared to condemn our
neighbors. Virginia must go through the

fore her people can act iii accordance with
the honest convictions Of their duty as cit
liens and their welfare as a people.
