Christ Crucifcd-Tbe Power Of Scripturai
History-SermOn by the Rev. William Il.
Butler.
The inviting weather of yesterday, together with
its being Communion Sunday attracted an unusu-
ally large and very fashionable congregation TO Zion
Methodist Episcopal (coored) church, corner of
Blocker and West Tenth streets. The body OF the
church Is at present under repair, and services
held in the basement The congregation attached
is so extremely large that 1t is difficult to obtain
either standing or sitting room at the regular time
for services to commence. This is the largest and
one OF the most fashionable churches in the city,
and stands better financially than any other (colored
church I'm the country. With the fashionable breth
rem and sisters connected here yesterday was Sc
lected as the day to appear IN their autumnal cos
tune, and quite a number made their debut

fairer sex who attend here many OF whom are
communicates OF the church. This church was
bought from white congregation contrary, it ap-
pears, to the wishes OF many oil their congregation
SO great was the attachment OF many TO the old
structure that, after being bought by the present
congregation, they still continued their attendance
The pastor, Rev. William +. Butler, who has served
a more than ordinary term, Is evidently an lntei-
gcnt man. and 1t is manifested to him by the atten
dance and appreciation rendered by his congrega-
ton. The choir attached TO this church Is under the
choristership OF MI f. V. 9. Eato, and yesterday
discoursed some very appropriate music In very
good style. The sermon was delivered by the pas
tor Rev. Mr. Butler taking Tor his text first Corin-

As the fall religious season properly openeu yes
terday all the churches OF the metropolis were well
attended, with but few exceptions, and the services
were more than usually interesting. The swallows

accustomed places Of worship to give thanks for the
pleasant time they had had during the summer and

SExAroR Morton racentlv mode q,

SENATOR Morton recently made an elabor-
ate speech at Terre Haute, upon the pros
poets of the approaching political campaign.
He took a cheerful view of the Republican
situation, and predicted that the people
would indorse Congress. He cited the fact
that the international revenue receipts have
increased So, OOO, 900, and the customs $40, :
100000 since Gen. Grants Inauguration,
over the previous sixteen months. Our ex-
penscs have been lesscned S5O,OOO,OOO, the
debt reduced Sl46,OOO, 900, and the taxes
reduced $50, OOO, 600. All these things, the
Senator thinks, will commend the Republi-
can party to the people, and enable it to
hold its ground.

We have more than once stated that one
Of the gravest objections TO the ascendency Of
the Democratic party is that it has not ac-
pulsed N the results Of the war. As its prin-
ciplc Of State sovereignty justified the rebel
lion, 50 the same principle denies the validi-
" Of reconstruction. And As the chief ne
ceesity Of the country is repose and relief
frOm the spirit which sought its distraction,
and which it has vanquished, its chief peril
u the disposition to cherish and develop
that spirit, which is the disposition Of the
Democratic party. 1t is because this is evil
dent that, notwithstanding certain dissatis-
faction with the Republicans, there Is pro-
found distrust Of the Democrats, and real
reluctance to intrua them with power.
Whatever difference there may be between
the tone Of q party pre.s in opposition, and
the policy of the same party in administra-
tion-however true It may be that the n,ess
ures of government will be very unlike the
resolutions Of convention, there is vet no

hension the party that virtually consented 70

SENATOR PONEROY SELLING MS
VOTE TO ANDY JOENSON.
The Washington oo!respondent ofthe Gin
cinnati Gasette says:
Once more Senstos Pomeroy has been
brought to the front in tlle mattel Of impeacl-
ment; and th&b time by ! former aaeeizte,
who comes arned with photographs Of The
letter which Edunnd Cooper, the private
secretary OF Ms. JoAnson, testified that he
received, Just rRevios to the last vote, in
Senator POmeroy's hand writing. This let
ter, it will be remembered, was TO the effect
that the Senator would stand by any arrange
n,ent which his bFother-in-law might make.
Al the time it was denied on the part of
Pomeroy as base forgery. 1t appears that
the letter was torn up and the pieoes aiter-
wards collected and put Together by the pres-
ent owner. At any rate, this person has,
and ethibits to HIS friends, photograph Of
letter thus restored, which Kansas asen
perfectly familiar with Pomeroy's writing
assert tn be his beyond doubt. The owner
also relates how Gen. Butler, Pomeroy and
himself met and arranged for the testimony
which the latter was to give before Buffers
committee.
The opinion has been gaining ground rap
idly of late among those here, who, in the
days Of Impeachment, were ID warmest sup
porters that after all a cruel mistake was
made in selecting Mr.. Ross instead Of Pom
eroy as the shining Kansas Senator. Time
is fast setting the former right, and hurrying
the latter on to expesure. 8 + ~ -
These facts are well known to our readers,
and were given in detail in this paper in
january last. We have seen the original
letter alluded to, and written by Pomeroy,
and also 4 photograph Of it. Poinercy
agreed to sell his vote to johnson, and vote
for his acqui.,al on the impeachment trial.
This letter is the one Gaylord tcok from
Pomeroy to Cooper to get the one hundred
thousand dollars Poo,eroy was to receive.
But we need nd again repeat the facts.

1t pains US to hear that S. A. Cobb, of
Wyandotte, has been reported "insolvent !"
by John Speer. This case is rendered all the
more sad by the knowledge Of the fact that
Cobb is Speer's attorney. PerhapsSpeer has
not paid Cobb for his services. Horton may
have got all the money. Cobb and Horton
both did well with the grand jury, and pre-
vented Speer's trial. But Speer reports
Cobb insolvent. In other words, Specr stole
the money Cobb paid on his taxes, and then
garbled the revenue returns.
