A PRAYING BAND.-A "praying- band" con-
sisting oftwelve members of the Methodist Church
in New York, are visiting various churches OF
their denomination. At the appointed hour
they enter the altar, commence singing, and con-
duct the service in genuine camp-meeting style.
The service, increasing in interest, eliminates
with the evening session. The house is usually
densey crowded the leader, Mr.. Haisey, is one
of the most renowned Methodsts in New York.
The evening service opens at seven and closes at
en-. 1t opens with a crisp song started by the
eader of the band. Ministers all give way
Revival hymns, earnest prayer, short, sharp ex-
horting. Invitations are then given to come to
the altar. The congregation unites in singing.
While the hymn is sung the members of the band
scatter through the audience, exhorting indiVid-
uals to seek the Lord. As the excitement begins
to glow, and strong men and children come up
and bow down, the scene isindescribable, clapp-
ing of hands, ringing out of "Amens ~ "Gory
to God r' singing, praying, shouting, talking,
comforting mourners, calling on the congrega-
ton 10 come out all at the same time, makes a
scene of apparent confusion. But the whole
thing is conducted on regular system, and the
excitement and enthusiasm continue to the close.
When one is converted the whole audience come
to their feet and sing, 'Praise God, from whom
all blessings aow."

E" likely TO produce crop of unusually astnte
" scoundrels az anything else" There are Sc
ri0ns difficulties, of course, in the way of
teaching any religion which ia not sectarian !;
the Jews even might reasonably maintain that
the Education Act which forbids the teaching
in State schools Of any religious formulary
(which is distinctive of any particular denom-
" ination" should exclude whatever was dis
tinctively Christian. Mr.. Huxley points out
some Of these practical difficulties, and con-
cludes that "the only practicable method OF not
altogether excluding religion from the educa-
cation of the masses il to let them read the
" Bible and permit the many noble thoughts
"and deeds mirroIed there to sink into their
"hearts-as they will do, if no too dense
theological fog obscures the significance Of
" the ethical ideal" Whatever may be said of
these sentiments, nobody can call them atheist

Gov. Hoffman's defense of his party, IN inc
carefully prepared speech which he delivered
last night, when Unexpectedly called on by
sercnading company, is not noticeable ior
what it says but there are some slgnihcaht
things which it omits to say. 1t does
not tell us word about his signature OF the
Erie bill, which The World considered so
discredtable. 1t does not say word ABOUT
his violation of law in assuming to name a
rendezvous for the State militia on
election day. 1t does not, in the midst
of its eulogy on the City Government
tell why Controller Connolly persistently dehes
the law requiring report of the City Finances.
1t brings fresh charges against the conduct OF
a city election, but makes no explanation OF
the false ones made on similar subject, two
years ago, in which he so disgracefully con-
yicted himself when cornered before Com
mittee of Congress.
in short Gov. Hoffman tells some plati-
tudes which nobody cares to hear, and omits
to explain many very interesting matters (at
only a few of which we have limited above),
of which everybody has been eagerly waiting
to hear. Can't Gov. Hoffman try again 1t
is his first speech in the campaign ;-perhaps,
with practice, he might improve.

Unless the Police Board is about to follow
the demoralizing example of the Finance De-
partment, we presume it is now preparing its
exhibit of operations during the past year.
Heretofore its reports have been chiefly remark
able for the entire absence of those statistics of
crime which can alone give them value. Is the
forthcoming report to be no better than its
predecessors What we ask of the Police
Commissioners is full and thorough return
of the crime and criminals of the metropolis,
as it is only from such knowledge of the
evils among us that any real reform can spring
We all know that crime has been rapidly in
creasing of late. Dare the Police Board fur
nish the public with the exact details of its

Ii is the habit of certain narrow minded per-
sons who cannot distinguish between scientific
theories and revealed truths, to denounce the
tendencies of the new school of physicists as
athelstcal, and TO regard Tyndall and Huxley
rs adyersaries of religion even more danger
ous and bitter than Colenso. 1t may be worth
the while of such persons to read what Pro-
fessor Huxley has just written in reply to an
English clergyman who asked what he thought
of the study of the Bible in the public, or
rate-supported schools. Professor Huxley an
swers that while he is strongly of opinion
that while the State has no right to enforce
education of any but purely secular char
acter," he is equally decided in holding "that
any system of education which attempts to
deal only with the intellectual side of
childs nature, and leaves the rest untouched,
" will prove delusion and snare. just as

The case in favor Of Gen. Schenck's right
to the seat to which he would have been in
disputably elected if citizens residing in his
district had not been disfranchised, for that
they were wounded in defense of the country
and were poor, is held to be weak only be-
cause there is no illegal proof that the ex-
"cluded votes would have been given
"to Schenck." The World may possess its
soul in patience. The case is just as strong on
that point as on every other. 1t will be proved
that these men went to the polls with ballots
for Schenck in their hands, which, on Vallan-
dighams demand, were illegally rejected, TO
the number of 348 while che majority by
which Schenck was reported defeated was only
SO. Having substantially admitted that the
case made by Gen. Schenck's friends can be
assailed at no other point, The World may as
well abandon the. assault here. The position
is impregnable.

The story so often repeated by telegram of
French sufferings from the excuses Of the
Prussian soldiery only shows, if it be a true
one, that the modification Of the horrors of
war of which, in modern times, we have been
accustomed to speak, has not been so great
after all. But the French are the last people
in the world, with their record, to complain.
AS warriors, they have always shown but q
scant courtesy and little mercy; and have
accordingly been detested, throughout modern
history, for employing every engine of destruc-
ton without pity or forbearance. But the evil
is in the system of making war at all. War
means misery cruelty inflicted; and those who
take the sword must perish by the sword.

The election in Massachusetts has left be-
hind it an unusual amount Of embttered So
cial feeling, as we are sorry to say. Mr.. f.
w. Bird will have out rather fierce PAM
phlet against Mr.. Wendell Phillips in few
days; and 80, the main battle over, the fight
still goes on. There are in Massachusetts
three factions and one party; and this can be
beneficial neither to Labor Reform nor to
Temperance. There was no reason for not
trusting the Republicans on either of these
questions; but both these controversies have
now in them an element of personal acrimony
which will break out with renewed virulence
as soon as the Legislature gets together

The Chicago Tribune sees fit to say that

ain Schcncks district, ID. j. Morre's, and McCarthys
OF Syracuse the Issue made up mainly the ques
ton of Protection and Free Trade the friends of Free
Trade voting, IN degree, without regard to past
political Affiliations and carrying McCarthy's district for
a Republican Free-Trader in the Convention, and the
other two districts for Free Trader at the polls"
Comments By this Tribune-"ln Schenck's
"district," the Republicans are defeated by the
simple expedient of disfranchising Six Humid
red freemen, guilty of having lost each leg,
an arm, or an eye, in fighting for the Union.
Had they been allowed to vote, Gen. SchenckS
majority would have been about the same as
two years ago.
1t will be news in Pennsylvania that Mr. d..
J. Morrell's competitor is Free-Trader. He
certainly never isped it, nor did one OF his
supporters. He is elected (by II majority
simply because several hundred Republicans Of
his (Huntingdon) County chose to vote for
their neighbor and friend rather than candi-
date over the Alleghenies. Mr.. Morrell like
wise received many Democratic votes in his
Oambria) County, but not enough to balance
Speer's Republican vote in Huntingdon.
In McCartbys district, Mr.. r. Ii. Duel, the
regular Republican candidate, proclaimed him
self decided Protectionist of the school OF
Henry Clay. Every one knew that this was
true, and voted accordingly .

Mr.. Dwight Townsend just elected TO Congress
from the LIST District of this State, was once mis-
takenly spoken Of in columns having formerly
been Republican and as having served in the Legis

Republican, but only a " Barnburner" or Free-Soi
Democrat of ls4S but heartily congratulate him on
the fact that he was in the Legislature. III
was Solomon townsend that went to the Legislature
from that locality but we hasten to etiace the pre-
sumption of taint by tho assurance that though
Democrat, he never sold his vote.

The result of the colored cadet case is I'M
satisfactory. If the punishment inflicted by
the court-martial was too slight, it would have
been better if it had been properly and justly
fixed by the Court. In any event. it would
have been better that whatever punishment
was adjudged should be inflicted. We hope
to ace the day when colored cadets will re-
ceive precisely the same treatment as white
ones before the military law being held

Newspaper Editing.

Few persons who have not haan con-
neeted for any length of time with daily
newspaper can be aware of the ceaseless
strain upon the capabilities of those whose
unending duty it is to furnish a quota of
news every day in the year-winter,
spring, gsummer aud fall--to supply the
demands of the great public nor can it
be estimated until it is seriously under
taken. Rain or shine, sick or well, cheer
fal or gloomy-however unprepared the
mind may be for the diurnal task-the
columns of paragraphs must come and
must be furnished within given hours.
Somebody has written a worry effective
poon. about the (" Slave of the Lamp"
Gould it have occurred to him that he was
painting the portrait of an editor
The man who, troubled with the cac-
OetheS Scrjbe1ldj, "takes his pen in hand"
when in the vein, and indites paragraph
or communication to the press, thinks,
as be complacently reads his effusions the
next morning, that after all it is no such
great work to write up a newspaper but
let him bend down to it a year-and be
obliged to furnish matter for the types
every day, and he will begin to feel some
charity for the editor and instead of
Judging him harshly, rather fall to won
dering that he repeats himself so seldom
says SO little that is not absolute trash,
and finds so many topics to write upon.
Why, the mere manual labor Of writ
ing pages enough of manuscript to fill
two or three columns in daily newspa-
per would be a good days work for many
people. But when we add to this, that
of collecting the news about great city,
of arranging the details of names,
places, time and the comments and de-
ductions necessarily attached to it-and
then the task of mentally preparing all
this to suit the public demand, it will be
admitted that the daily labor of the edi-
torial room is not surpassed by any other
occupation. We do not, in this list, count
the multifarious duties connected with
the other departments of writing the
law-the commerci4l-the news summar-
ies-the arranging of correspondence
the selections from interior papers-the
patient perusal of contributions, which
must, too often, after all, be rejected.
