question Of choosing king to the people.
Though there may be in such cases good
deal of outside influence exercised, the prln-
ciple is admitted even by the great dynastic
Powers themselves. This Of itself we regard
as vast stride towards popular or republican
governments in Europe. The people are fast
reaching point when tnc. boy will no longer be
SOLD Or tr.s.5sssrred like cattle from one owner
or ruler to another. The press, the telegraph
and steam power are rapidly enlightening both
mankind at large and governments as to their
rights and duties. In this surprising progress.
too, the success of elective and representative
government in America is playing an impor--
tant part, and is making powerful impression
upon Europe. This country is the pioneer Of
nations in the new age, and we may expect to
see ere long all governments, dynastio as well
as republican, chosen by the people.

THE DRAWBACK FRAUDs.-From the details
we have published of the examination and
disclosures made in the matter of the large
batch of drawback frauds unearthed in the
Custom House we have reason to expect that
the guilty parties, principals and confoderates,
and their modus operandi and the amounts
lost to the Treasury will soon be reached.

The Churches.

Our special enterprise in collating news
home, for the use and instruction Of the readers
OF the HERALD, has not caused US, either by
its comprehensiveness Of intent or careful
concentration to the form of actual detail, to
neglect the all-important matter of religion In
our midst, being convinced, as all steady
church-going persons should be, that in the
absence of this grand saving essential the best
work of man is merely ''vanity," We conse-
quently report the labors of the clergy in the
city and suburbs yesterday, taking in their
own words and on their authority as correct
the duly audited balance or anointed sum total
of a weeks account of the daily strife as
between struggling, weak humanity and the
arch-enemy of the souls Of men, as well as the
effect Of the intermediary heavenly agencies
which afford strength and consolation with the
means of assuring an eternal victory even to
salvation to the Christian brethren.
The reflex, as given in our columns to-day,
is of a very oonsoling and encouraging char
acter. St. Patricks Cathedral was crowded
and the congregation devout as usual. The
apostolic veteran, Vicar General STAIRS,
preached on the subject of the. spread Of
Cathoicity in our midst after the strials" and
tribulations of the Church Bishop James,
assisted by the venerable Bishop Morris
and number Of the reverend clergy, dedi-
Gated to Almighty God the now church which
has just been completed on Washington
Heights, and administered the communion
according TO the ritual and canon rule of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, in the presence Of
an elegant and fashionable assemblage. In the
Church Of the Messiah Rev. DR.. Hepworth was
eloquent, as well as analytical, on the subject
of Immortality, affording great comfort to the
faithful by his fine prospective of the glories Of
the reward and crown which endure forever
and fade not. Rev. Dr. Chaplin tells the peo-
pie at large in our pages "What is Meant by
the Kingdom Of Heaven" leaving for us
nothing to add in the way Of additional re-
mark except the expression of fervent hope
to the effect that the people will preserve copy
of to-day's HERALD, and thus not forget what
he said before next Saturday night. The
Catholics laid the foundation of new

with other reverend gentlemen, enlightened

crowded. Children were confirmed. Mis-
sionary services were attended to. Tho
"Christian Young Mon" were out in
great force, and it is to be hoped that all our
young men will soon experience religion"
and become Christian young men ; so that
tho Church of the future may rest securely,
not merely in the strength Of well-filled pockets
and broad shoulders, but on the much more
acceptable foundation of converted hearts and
honest, truthful minds, which will enable
them to proclaim by their works "the faith
which is in them"

presented for their sunrages candidates in
every respect worthy of their support. The
struggle oves the police justice VACANCIES is
therefore almost as perpiexing to the leaders
as wsss the Senatorial contest. A few days
more, however, will bring 1t and the whole

Politicians.

The Charter E.ection--1rovements of tho
Politicians.
The contest over the prizes to be awarded
to the successful candidates in the election on
the first Tuesday in December next is being
wagad with increasing zeal and vigor as the
final moment approaches. The Tammany
leaders are quietly looking on at the struggle,
awaiting, before rendering their verdicts, the
development Of the political strength in the
separate districts and wards Of the various can
didates. The sine qua nan for nomination
to any Office by Tammany, such nomination
being tantamount to election at the polls, is
political capital or what is the same thing,
the power to control democratic votes. Indi-
vidual merit and qualifications for the Office
sought are but secondary considerations In
making up the slate, and therefore il is only
on rare occasions we find men of high or re-
spectacle standing in the community enter the
political arena for any but the very highest
Offices, and then only in submission to the
pressure brought to bear upon them by their
fellow citizens.
The principal contest is over the vacancies
in the civil and police justiceships. The
candidates therefor are very numerous, and on
the whole all more or less eligible and quail
fed . fl H.. Offices for which they aspire.
The candidates for the coming vacancies in the
civil courts especially have, by early studies,
professional predllections and legal experience,
qualified themselves to discharge the duties of
justices. This is at the present time very for
tunate for the best interests OF the people, in
asmuch as the Tammany Regency can hsrdly
make a mistake in tho selection of their noml-
nees or their appointees to the civil justice
courts. IL is very different with the police
Justices For the discharge Of the duties of
this latter Office no legal training or attain
ments seem TO be necessary and therefore any
ragtag and bobtail Of the party who by any
means acquires an ascendancy in his ward or
district can press himself into the place. The
complications which rendered necessary all
the strategy and political linesse Of tho leaders
to unravcl in connection with the late Senate
rial and Assembly elections, and the pledges
then extorted from them, deprive the Regency
of untrammelled action In the selection of this
class of candidates. This Is TO some extent
unfortunate, az there is little doubt the chief
slatemaker, Peter Bismarck Swceny, Is most
anxious to commemorate the late trumphs of
the party by conceding to the citizens the long
wished for but long withheld boon Of having

NApoLEoN's New PoIICY.-The Emperor
Of the French has shown good sense in not
disturbing the recent public demonstrations in
Paris. He has finally seen that the people
must have more liberty Of action, and though
he has all the necessary power at hand to
crush any actual violation Of the peace, he
does not object to their giving vent to their
feelings. In fact, he has substituted the
policy of repression for that of suppression.
The great object to be gained by Napoleon is
TO make the French nation clearly understand
that his government depends upon its support.
BY gaining this point he will gain more than
by any conquest achieved by the force of
arms. And by adopting these measures he
will gain the good will of the people, and may
also secure the succession of his dynasty.

A MAsTERLY PIECE OF SURGERY
Yesterday we were shown the result Of
asurgical operation performed by DIR.
A. H. Goddin, the inventor of the Com
pound Gentian Bitters, upon Mrs. w,
of Halifax county, N. G. She had been
suffering with inflammation of the blad-
der for two weeks, when DR.. Goddin
was called on. He found her in the
last stages of prostitution. An exami-
nation revealed the fact that some for
eign BODY was floating in the bladder,
which prevented its evacuation natur-
ally, OF by means of any instrument
which could be introduced. AS last
resort an operation was determined
upon. which was performed by DR..
Goddin, who removed from the bladder
the whole of the mucus membrane, one
niece of which is twice the size of a
mans hand. Thispiece the Doctor has
preserved, which can be seen at his Of
fee, No. 7 Main street, Norfolk, Va
The operation was successful, and Mrs.
W. recovered without an untowaro
symptom, and is now alive and well
We look upon this as mastery piece
of surgery, that has no parallel that we
know of, DIR. Goddin being the only
surgeon that has over performed the
operation. This, in itself, speaks vol
umes for his skill and ability as ply
| stefan. DR.. q. thinks of following his
| profession in Norfolk, and we bespeak
for him liberal patronage from the
ssister cities by the sea-

FERRY POINT, May 10, 1863.
DEAR DAY Book Being a constant
reader of your paper, and knowing its
worth and interestedness in our pros
perity, | bethought myself to give you
few lines, relative to our little growing
village of Ferry Point, its advantageous
contiguity to Norfolk, &c. This viii
age, for The last four years, has, by the
indomitable energy and business like
capacity of a few of it's leading spirits,
risen like Rome of old, to considerable
notoriety, and promises fair to become
to Norfolk, what Brooklyn is to New
York. Already has she some five Gro-
ceries, an Apothecary shop, Ship.
Yard, several Lime Kins on the borders,
a Grist Mill, near completion, several
churches, and another in contemplation,
and the least though not the last, several
restaurants, and many other buildings
of business character in contempla-
ton. l learn from one of our sterling
settlers, that there is an inclination, of
many, from his section of North Caro-
lima, to settle down with our people,
indeed that they have come to the fixed
determination to do so, and are already
on the move. Now what desire to do,
is to call the attention of parents to the
necessity of one thing needful i the
training of the youth. Let parents force
aye, compel their children to attend the
Sabbath Schools, either in your city or
on the Point it will have the tendency
to restrain them in their onward career
to worthlessness. Inculcate into their
minds the moral precepts of life, while
they are yet young and tender, and my
word for it, the future generation will
experience radical change in morality
for the better.
Parents do not know what associates
and habits their offsprings form, while
roaming unrestrained it is the very
bane of existence, and as Fuller says,
"minors have not only baned families,
but ruined realms" 1t is growing
evil, and parents are much to blame for
their negligence in this particular.
Therefore force them to attend their
Sabbath Schools, and also the Church.
Bend the twig and the tree will be in
clined.
Why it is some of our young men do
not organizs Debating Society can't
see, to be sure it would in every way
improve them aud perhaps open up a
brighter future. More anon.

CRY GARDENs.-We notice many
improvements in the residential sections
Of our city, and none are more observ-
able than the neat, attractive, open
fences, disclosing to view we'll laid-out,
and handsome gardens. These are great
improvements on the old tall, clumsy,
close fence, and the unsightly waste of
garden. land. The atmosphere in the
city never becomes 80 cold as it does in
the suburbs or in the open country ad-
accent, from the fact of tie warmth
generated by the bricks, stones, &c., and
the heat arising from innumerable fac
tories. machine shops, the never ending
smoke, and many other causes. Conse-
quently, there are many plants that will
thrive in our city gardens, that perish
in the country. Materials for fertilizing
the soil, too, are always abundant in the
city, and no plant need perish for want
of food. The soil in our city yards, as
general thing, is entirely unfit for the
reception of plants. 1t is very poor,
besides being cold, damp, aud unusually
compact, needing liberal application
of enriching materials, deep trenching
and yery often an under drain leading
into the sewer in the street.
There are many troubles to overcome
in order to have good and pretty gar
den in Norfolk, but then when you sur
mount these obstacles and succeed in
making good garden, the beauty and
satisfaction afforded counterbalances
the previous trouble. In fact, those
who are determined to have garden
will overcome all these difficulties, and
and really enjoy the necessary prepara-
tons, because SO full of hope and
dreams of leisure to be reaped in the
future. Insects and dust will often an
noy those who attempt to grow flowers
in city but water, the great moter
of life among plants, as well as the de-
stroyer of insects, is always at hand to
do its work, if properly applied. Moth
ing is more beautiful and attractive to
a stranger than pretty flower gardens,
enclosed by neat, handsome open
fences. They lend peculiar charm
wherever seen, and we are glad to see
that many of our citizens are turning
their attention to them.
