Couurcs. During the wcoL.

There has been nothing of Importance ac-
complished in Congress during the week just
passed. With the exception of few minor
matters of no interest there has been nothing
new introduced. In the Senate the leading
feature has been the Georgia Admission bill,
which has served as text for tiresome
round of useless speeches and is now no nearer
to vote than when it originally came up.
The proposition made by Mr.. Sumner to re-
duce postage in certain cases to one cent is an
important measure, especially as it brings up
the almost forgotten Franking Privilege bill,
with new idea on the subject 1t proposes
to do away with the present Congressional
privilege of sending and receiving any and all
kinds of matter through the mails on the
strength of Congressman's autograph, and
so far does away with clear field for corrup-
ton but that the proposed substitute, supply
ing stamped envelopes to each department,
may not finally be made a source of corrup-
ton also is another question. 1t certainly is
at present an Improvement on the old way.
The main features in the House have been
decisions in contested election cases, which,
by queer coincidence, all tended to place
radicals in seats and GUST democrats, thereby
showing how much more squarely the domi-
nant republican party conducts elections than
the democratic. Butler, with commendable
sagacity and determination, has pressed for
leave to get his resolution annexing Dominica
in the House, but some wary democrat has
always been present to object. The tariff has
been tinkered in Committee Of the Whole, but
the original fraud has not been greatly i'm
proved upon.

The Plebiscitum Master Stroke.

II is reported from Paris that the Emperor
Napoleon has written letter for the instruc-
ton of the people on the Specification of the
law that is to be submitted for the approval or
condemnation of the nation, and that 80 many
copies of this letter are to be printed and
spread abroad as will suffice to put one in the
hands of every voter in France. Here we see
again how shrewdly and wisely this great poll
tician goes at once to the main point. He is
consistent with his whole career as Emperor in
making the appeal to the people, and in going
to them thus directly-in thus presenting his
view of the law almost personally to every
voter-he will accomplish the utmost that it is
possible to accomplish in its favor. This
application of the American system Of cleo
tioneering to the case Of France-this use of
the printing press, the post Office and the rail-
road, make it possible for the Emperor to
answer in every village and in every house
all the clamor Of the orators of revolution. 1t
is hardly possible to overestimate the effect
this single act will have upon the vote and
the result will in all likelihood be to sustain
the Emperor's course by an immense majority.

Another English Review Of the Herald
as Religious Organ.


Our readers will find in another part of this
paper very readable article, especially for
Sunday, from the London Saturday ReoSe0,
devoted to one of the HERALD's .'specialties,
that of ''giving on Monday twelve columns of
reports of the various sermons preached and
services held at the different churches and
meeting houses, tabernacles, conventicles,
theatres and music halls in New York and
Brooklyn" Some few months ago several of
the special Sunday discourses of the HERALD
on ''the new heaven and the new earth" and
the claiming and Imprisonment Of ''that old
serpent, which is the devil and Satan" for
thousand years, created some CONSERVATION
among the High Church, Low Church, Long
Church and Broad Church teachers and phi
losophers of the London press, and this
HERALD Monday specially of twelve columns
of the last past Sundays sermons seems quite
as perplexing to the Saturday Reoieao.
It will be observed, however, that this
reviewer is very much pleased with and inte-
rested in his study Of our "twelve columns Of
reports of sermons" and rather inclnes to the
opinion that our treatment of these Sunday dis
courses will be apt to attract larger congrega-
tions to our churches concerned than they have
had heretofore. Nay, he goes still further,
and closes his somewhat rambling, but anus
ing, commentary with the confession that 1--WE
are not without serious apprehensions that the
day is not distant when the dresses and devo-
tions of the Sunday visitors to the Belgravian
churches will be as fully reported in the
London newspapers as the victims of those
much duller entertainments, Belgravian recep-
TONS" Why not? Is it not our religious
duty to ''prove all things and hold fast that
which is good?" This has been and is and
will be the course of the HERALD in regard to
spiritual as we'll as temporal things, including
'.the new dispensation, foreshadowed by the
prophets of the Old and the New Testament,
such as Moses, King David, Isaiah and st. Joha
the Divine. And we expect, too, that after
awhile in the matter of these Sunday SER
mons, she leading journals Of the British
metropolis will be Influenced by our good
example to do likewise, just as the Londoners,
| for instance, after all their doubts, fears and
hesitations, are beginning to adopt our New
| York inventions of street railways and horse
| cars.

ago. II tho Christian Church would have liv-
ing, earnest preachers and preaching, they
must give their pastors more time to study
the Scriptures, and then If the old truths are
not clothed in new thoughts the fault will be
with the preachers alone But the truth now
is that our city pastors, and we believe, coun-
try ministers also, are overworked and under
paid and it is no wonder that their discourses
are dull and their churches comparatively
empty. The irreli gious find nothing therein
to interest them. and many religious people re-
sort to them either because custom or fashion
directs. Hence it will be found that the ma
iority of our city churches are not filed within
an average of one-third of their seating capa-
city upon any given Sabbath. Splendid music
and magnificent ritual, together with lack
of church accommodation, help to crowd the
Roman Catholic churches; but our general re-
marks in regard to the preaching will apply to
them as well as to Protestant congregations.
The evils resulting from the neglect Of home are
too often sadly apparent in the children Of min
listers. The sons leave the Church early, and
sometimes forever, and frequently they lead
lives of dissipation and folly. The daughters
think more Of fashion than of character. and
of the ballroom or theatre than of the Church
or of heaven. They are not, however, worse
in this respect than the sons and daughters Of
other Christians, but they attract more public
attention than others because of the more
eminent position their parents occupy. This
evil is growing one, and in pointing it out to
our city congregations we have done our duty.
Now let the doctors prescribe the remedy.

Dress Fashions in Europe.

Our special European correspondence re-
porting the different styles Of dress fashions
and toilet costume which prevailed in the Old
World just previous to the departure of the
latest mails is published in our columns to-
day. It is dated in Paris, but describes
society" in its youth and beauty and in ele-
giant congregation, in Rome and as seen on
the Pincio, those famous grounds, remarkable
for such display and for the general purposes
of social enlivenment and outdoor amusement
even in the days of Horace, and, it may be,
the very spot on which the poet received his
inspiration of the homo Jfactus Gd WnQuens
of whom he has written. The writer speaks
of the people who resort to the Pincio
to-day, representation of the nationalities,
including personages of almost every
class and calling, from the more
hopeful cardinal candidates for the Pontifcal
succession to the most innocent and blooming
and confding young ladies of England, France
and America. To complete the links of such
a dazzling chain our special correspondent
has to speak of dashing equipages, fairy
like forms, plumed hats lace wells, silks and
satins, hats, boots and parasols; in truth, Of
all sorts of garments, from low-neck dresses to
the most sombre soutane of the cleric. The
communication will command the attention OF
our readers, if only for the reason that it pre-
sents the Holy City in a new aspect as the
centre of the unities of ''what is worn by the
faithful fervent worshippers Of fashion.
The New York herald., 1870-04-17
The Versatile Fisk.

The gallant Cataline Of Wall street has
doffed his Roman toga, discarded the snowy
but unauthorized uniform of Admiral OF the
Sound feet, and donned the gallant trappings
of bona Jide colonel of militia. Although
the Innings of good capon render him somewhat
unwieldy on foot and spread his proportions
little outside of the regulation breadth, he looks
well and seems finely calculated to seek and
win ''the bubble reputation even at the can
mons mouth" any bright day on Broadway.
He has all the qualifications that make the
worlds great soldiers. He has a genius for
strategy; and the law records of the city, the
Legislature, Ramsey, Burt, the injunction
servers and the Erie stockholders will testify
abundantly to the fact. Logistics, too, are in
his vein; for he has frequently distinguished
legions upon or away from the enemy-at one
time, for instance, with squadron on Jersey
City, and at another with his whole train on
the line of the Susquehanna, not to mention
the grand descent with his whole force upon
Wall street. AS to his staying qualities-the
pre-eminent qualities that saved Chickamauga
and battered down Richmond and Vicks-
burg-Fsk looms up like Stonewall.
He can probably stay longer than
any other living colonel Of militia,
and as for daring and bravery-minor matters
in themselves-the fact that he sometimes in
dulges in lawsuits for amusement, dances the
demon cdmcan, with kerosene lamp for a
torch, and takes frequent rides for pleasure on
the Erie Railway, are sufficient. In addition
to these necessary qualifications he is ''bearded
like the pard" and can be, if circumstances ad-
NIT, ''fnll of strange oaths, jealous in honor,
sudden and quick in quarrel
But now that he has become soldier, and
very good one, no doubt, he must do away
with his admiralty and his princeship. He
cannot be jolly tar and gallant soldier all
at once, versatile as he has shown himself to
be. 1t won't do for colonel Of militia to 60
hitching up his pantaloons with saltwater
swagger, or the mounted leader of regiment
to be porting his helm when he wants to change
the direction of his column. He must get rid
of all his minor pursuits in the course of time,
in order to devote himself to the art of war,
and he had better ''avast there !" with his Sound
steamers first Then we will rest under no
uneasiness as to his getting the army and the
navy mixed up; for it must be confessed that
Fisk doesn't know any more about nautical
matters than Borie or Robeson. Then he can
do away with his theatre and his Temptations
and his Erie Railroad, and even his litigations,
and devote himself entirely to the military
science, where, as a man of unbounded re-
sources, he bids fair to rise to an almost un-
precedented eminence.

The New Police Machine.

By order No. Mr.. John Jourdan, formerly
known as Captain Jourdan, assumes the Office
of Superintendent of Police of this city. The
tone of his first order is good, and as the man
is known by his career to be an honest and eff
cient officer it is safe to accept the order as a
promise of what we are really to have at his
hands, So far but little change is obvious to the
public as the result of the new law. Mr.. Ken
nedy goes out, Jourdan takes his place, and
some one else takes Jourdan's. Kennedy was an
officer who made no compromise with disorder
or roguery or any element or power that
flourished by violation of the law. He had to
enforce some unpopular laws, and did it with
an honest vigor that caused some of the dis
like of the law to fall upon the man. Hence
there was clamor against him on the part Of
many good people, but it was greatly increased
by the voices of all sorts of villains who
feared him. It seemed to have become party
requirement that he should 60 out Captain
Jourdan will give ample satisfaction in his new
Office if he makes war as fiercely on roguery
as Kennedy did. Perhaps he may do it with
suavity that will make his vigilance more
acceptable, though the proverb records pretty
well the true principle in regard to the opin-
ions of those who feel 'the halter draw"
Jourdan proposes to his subordinates the ex-
cellent points that they shall, where possible
ssprevent crime" and never in any case
compromise with it." The last point
is especially good one. It involves
the whole subject Of the purity of the police
but we greatly fear that it will be found that
before compromise with crime" can be put
aside we will have to change our whole system
of police police law and criminal jurisprudence.
THE END OF THE PARAGUAYAN WAR;
Advces from Lisbon give further details of
the death of Lopez, which leave the fact in
| no further doubt. The Vice President of the
republic and several other high officials were
also killed and the women of Lopez's family
were captured. A treaty Of peace was being
! prepared with the provisional government,
which the Brazilians set up in Asuncion
some time ago, and which now comes in good
play for the purpose. The details Of that
treaty as affecting the commerce of the Plate
and other questions of International impor-
tance will be looked to with great interest.
