RELIGION AND Politics AT BEVERLY.

RELIGION AND Politics AT BEVERLY.
THE progressive city of Beverly, New Jersey-the
Beverlyites insist on its being called city-is now
in state of healthy excitement and agitation over
the election by the Councils of the Rev. Mr. Boyle to
the chair Of civic state, to fill the unexpred term Of
Mayor Snyder, which extends until April next The
election OF Mr.. Boyle is remarkable from the fact
that he is a clergyman and that he was chosen by
the unanimous votes OF both the Republican and
Democratic members of Councils This combna-
nation OF circumstances is alone sufficient to create
a commotion, but the excitement is further intensi-
fed by the well-known fact that Mr.. Boyle is yea
lous temperance man. and it is believed that he viii
use the authority Of his new office to put stop as
far as possible to the sale of Intoxicating liquids
within his bailiwck. There is a law in Beverly pro-
hbitng the traffic in sprtuous beverages, but it has
been. allowed to remain dead letter, and the pros
pect Of having it suddenly enforced in all its strin-
gency by the reverend Mayor is esteemed by the
lovers of hot whsky-toddy to be grievance OF the
first magnitude especially as the winter is approach
ing and the deprivation will be most severely felt
during the cold weather. The regular imbbers Of
spirtuous compounds feel the election OF Mr.. Boyle
to be personal wrong done to them individually,
and their;indgnatlon is consequently unbounded No
mercy, however, is expected from Mr.. Boyle, who
has been waiting for chance like this for some time
past, and the probabilities are that blue will super
sede the fashionable color for at Beverly
this winter.
This affair is additionally complicated moreover,
from the fact that many members of Mr.. Boye's
congregation are in doubt to the proprety OF
minister OF the Gospel occupying political onice of
this kind, and meeting OF the church members is
TO be held for the purpose of considering the matter
Whether any OF the members of Mr.. BOye's congre-
CATION feel specially aggrieved at the prospective
enforcement of the liquor law,we are unable to state
from personal knowledge, but it is undoubtedly true
that they are violently opposed to that gentleman
stepping out OF his legitimate sphere of duty and
| ''miXing religion with politics." Beverly is pro-
gressive place, and it loves hrs-class sensation
This has been furnished by the election OF Mr. Boyle
to the Mayoralty ana there is prospect that lively
times Twin abound this winter within the corporate
| limits.

congress OF January 49, OF that year, placed him
upon the retired list In consequence OF his
advanced age, which left them no dis
cretion; but I'm March, 1852 by special act OF Con-
gress, he was again placed upon the active list with
new commission, and the rank OF Senior Flag
Oncer OF the Navy. Again entrusted with the COM
MANI OF Navy Yard in this city, he was I'm 1860,
renewed at his own request, and took up his resi-
dence at Bordentown N. j., after having devoted
slXy-twoyears-an unexampled periodic the ser
vice of his country, nearly twenty-four years OF
Whch We're passed at sea, and about twenty years
on shore duty, while during the remainder of his ser
vice he was unemployed. His last cruise, which
ended IN November, 1s43 terminated total active
service, in the navy and merchant marine Of over
hity-two years. On the 10th of July, 1862, he was
commissioned a Rear-Admral and placed at the
mead OF the retired st OF the Navy, fitting recogni
ton OF his long and brilliant service.
AT the outbreak OF the late civil war Admiral
Stewart earnestly denounced the reasonable con-
spracy against the flag whose honor he had upheld
on so many different SEAS and felt seriously ag-
greved when active employment was refused him
on account OF his advanced years. He never par
tcpated actively in politics, although at different
times his name was mentioned In connection with
the Democratic nomination for the Presidency,
chiefly by the enemies OF the late James Buchanan,
who were anxious to secure the leadership Of some
one around whom they could make successful
stand In this State. At one time he became
engaged in q controversy with John c.
Calhoun, during which he presented the
arguments against the anarchca policy OF the latter
with great force, and showed that although nclin-
ing to the general principles OF the Democratic party
he had no sympathy with the views which ultimately
led the South into rebellion. He was on terms OF
close intimacy with Joseph Bonaparte, the ex-King
OF Spain, who, in Difference to his advice took up
his residence at Bordentown, which he subsequently
selected as the place for passing in entire repose,
the evening of his own days. The death OF this
illustrious naval hero will awaken universal regret
throughout the country, and especially in this the
city OF his birth. Personally he was man OF rare
accomplishments and great attractions, and his
memory will long remain fresh in the hearts OF his
COuntrymen.

NE WSPAPER ENTERPRISE IN ENG
LAND AND THE UNITED STA TIES.

The brilliant genius who transmits news for
the Associated Press by cable from England
under date of Saturday made the following
announcement: -"The death of Mr.. Peabody
occurred SO late on Thursday evening-half-
past IL o'clock-that the fact could not be
widely published until to-day"
This is fair specimen of the enlightened
intelligence that is brought to bear upon the
selection of news to send across the Atlantic
by the cable. Nobody here cares to know
that the English papers did not announce Mr..
Peabody's death because it occurred too late
at night for them to find it out in time
for their next mornings issue, and the
fact would not be worthy Of comment, ex-
oept as an example of the Associated Press
Agents stupidity, if it was not also proof of
the want of enterprise that is characteristic of
the English as compared with the American
press, and their slow way of doing business,
especially with regard to the publication of
important news. The information of Mr..
Peabodys death was sent across the Atlantic
on the night that it occurred and il was an
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-11-08

nounced the next morning in ell quarters of
the American Union, from Maine to Cali
fornia. No daily paper in this country would
have felt itself justified in Withholding such
piece of news from its readers of the next
day because the event occurred at such
an hour as half-past II p. M. Not
only did the American papers publish
the fact of Mr.. Peabody's death, but most of
them gave complete, and sometimes very
elaborate obituary notices; and The EVENING
TELEGRAPH, in addition to complete biogra-
phical sketch of over four columns, caused to
be engraved, in time for the first edition, a
very satisfactory portrait of the deceased phi
lanthropist. In England such performance
as this would never be thought of, and the
very idea of such a thing would make an ave-
rage British editors hair to stand on end,
and he would exclaim that ''the thing is inn
possible, you know" So far as real utility to
the general public is concerned, the Atlantic
cable is essentially an AmericaninsGt and
we reap its most important benefits Withan
intelligent news agent on the other side of
the water, it's value would be increased O
hundred fold, and with the frequent
complaints that are made about the
ineficiency of the present agent of the Asso-
ciated press, it is certainly matter for sur
prise that he is allowed to impose upon the
good nature of the press and public of the
United States any longer. More than half of
his dispatches published this morning are
taken up with quotations from the obituary
notices of Mr.. Peabody published by the
London papers, and we presume that for the
next week or two he will work on this vein
until the American public will regret more
heartily than ever the death of Mr.. Peabody,
and wish sincerely that the agent of the Asso-
ciated Press in London had been carried off
by visitation of Providence day or two be-
fore the American philanthropist expired.

RES UMPTION or SPECIE Pa Y
MENTS

The despatch to the New York Wgl|d an
nouncing that Secretary Boutwell, favored a
return to specie payments by the 1st of
January, which we published on Saturday, is
manifestly sensational and incorrect 1t is,
however, not improbable that an attempt to
resume will be made at no distant period if
Congress directly or indirectly sanctions such
policy, but the earliest time for such action
can scarcely be before the 1st of July, 1870.
1t is unreasonable to expect, after the pro-
tracted suspension, that any Secretary would
attempt the vital change contemplated with
out giving ample notice to the whole country,
and obtaining the consent and cooperation
of the immediate representatives of the
people. Resumption to be effective and per-
manent, must form part of comprehensive
plan, involving the negotiation of new gold
loans, and the establishment of the national
credit on such basis that the paper promises
of the Government will be universally deemed
as good as gold. 1t is idle to expect such
plan TO be perfected two months hence, and
the Secretary will be fortunate if he pre-
pares the nation to resume in July, 1870.
