BOsTON, Oct. II, 1870.
Editor Rutland Herald Sunday, Sept
Goth, was a very warm day for the season,
with little rain in the morning, and a
very heavy shower in the afternoon,
caused by a current of cold east wind sud
denly striking the heavy clouds and moist
atmosphere.
The churches were quite fully attended,
at least some of them, which from substan-
tial or temporary reasons happened to be
the most popular. The word, popular,
does not exactly express the kind of at
tendance at those places where the houses
are mostly filled by the regular society
and those most intimately associated with
them There is popularity in which a
mans praise may be oftener or soonest
sounded by the world outside of his de-
nomination and it may be temporary in
that respect, much to the satisfaction or
credit of the preacher when he finds that
he stands well with his own denomiua-
| ton.
Among those whose approach was I'M
heralded outside of the church immediate.
| ly interested, may be named Rev. Phil
lips Brooks, the new rector of Trinity
Church of this city. Having just returned
from a tour of some months to Europe, he
was welcomed back to his church yester.
day by full attendance. There seems to
be quiet enthusiasm shared by the regu-
lar attendants of this church, something
more than a transient thing. The mem
bers of the Episcopal denomination, as a
whole, have too much good sense to be
patient with the shams that are current
now, in this part of the world, which are
eagerly grasped as good substitutes for
the old faith, which has SO long stood the
test and use of criticism and human
nature. This man is not to be deceived
and seems to preach as if he knew there
were none above the want of plain talk
and advice, so he continues to preach
week after week, with "a full audience
and large proportion of young people
The music and singing at this church is
unsurpassed by any other in the city,-for
appropriateness of style for the service,
under a long tried leader and organist. A
double quartette give their part Of the
service strength and reality that is re-
freshing, avoiding the extremes of plain
ness and too much completely, and those

eccentricities which draw attention to in
dividual performers.
From Trinity Church in Summer street
to the Music Hall is but two minutes
walk. Here the Rev. Mr.. Alger. Liberal
Christian, preached, or lectured, or adj
dressed large audience. This Hall in
the day time, for religious tsereices, is a
beautiful, but cold and soul-less place.
And when we add to it this man for a
religious teacher and comforter and his
audience of admirers there is little to in
spire most people. Intellectual treats they
have for Mr.Alge is a great scholar of fine
literary tastes, and something of poet
He manages to lecture very acceptably an
hour or more, each Sabbath, in this place,
to such as have no religious associations,
convictions, or aspirations. He does not
belong to any denomination, nor do they.
He breaches 6 religion of cold morality
and beauty, and that pleases them. His
texts are often upon secular matters and
events, and altogether, first and last, his
preaching his beautiful wandering
around and ignoring some of the pla1nest
facts of human nature that receive some
attention from the rest of the world. In
other words he treats his hearers to scol-
loped oysters, cream and cake, always
managing to add . bouquet, of at least
one flower, upon whose beautiful COLOR
which God of Love has mads,-each
one can look and become more exalted and
purified and fit for heaven-where all are
sure to go.
| Tha season of lectures and concerts has
opened at the Music Hall with energy.
Two courses of lectures being announced,
the tickets were sold this morning to a
struggling crowd of buyers. AS predicted
lectures are announced for different parts
of the city. Among the lecturers there is
a good sprinkliDg of women, with some
new names. Can the number be greatly
increased and the novelty of their leotur.

THE RUTLAND II EkALD
The Elections.

Owing to the rain storm, which appears
TO have extended over the entire country,
Tuesday night, we were unable to give
as full returns yesterday morning as we
expected, but hope that our dispatches
this morning will give complete returns,
although at the present writing we have
nothing but mere indications.
The dispatches, so far received, from
Pennsylvania, indicate what was hardly
expected, Republican gain in nearly
all the districts. Philadelphia gives a
fair Republican majority. The represen-
tation in Congress will probably be about
the same as in the last House.
From Ohio aud Indiana the returns are
even more meagre and unsatisfactory than
from Pennsylvania At this time moth
ing has been heard from Mr.. Schenck's
district, which was ono of the most
doubtful and closely contested in the
State, both parties putting forward their
best and ablest men, Mr.. Schenck being
the Republican candidate and l.. d.
Campbell the candidate on the part of the
Democrats. IL the first district Mr.. Ste.
veuson has been elected, defeating Gen
S 'm. Carey, member of the last House
who WAS elected by the opposition.
In Indiana there seems to be no doubt
that the election has resulted in a substan-
tial triumph to the Republicans.
Upon the whole,it is safe to say that
the result of the election is satisfactory to
the Republican party. In all, or nearly
all Of these States, at the commencement
of the campaign, the Republican party
was weakened and distracted by local
divisions, and almost despairing of sue
cess. The result, however, is more graft
flying than they even dared to hope, and
the party is much more successful than
the most sauguine expected. This
must, to great extent, we appre-
bend, be attributed to the popular
ity and great financial success of the ad-
ministration of Gen. Grant, which has
strengthened the party, not only in these,
but in nearly all of the other States

Our Washington letter,
WASHINGTON. D. @. Oct. s. 19l

WASHINGTON, d. O., Oct. s. 1870.
Editor Rutland Herald The recent
disastrous flood having subsidized, the suf-
ferers here can better determine the ex-
tent of damage done, and are striving toI
obliterate all traces of its ravages as soon
as possible. Were it not for the accounts
which reach US from various points upI
the river, Of the complete demolition of
entire neighborhoods, and the untold
amount of consequent suffering,-of
whole families swallowed up by the rag
ing torrents, aud hundreds of others rem
dered homeless. Were it not that others
had suffered 40 much more, we should
call our troubles indeed great But, as 1t
is, we hear very little said of the results
of the food here, while the narrowing de-
tails, as they reach US from Harper's
Ferry, and other places up the river, re-
ceive full attention. The Star of this
city reports one hundred lives lost along
the Shenandoah, between Harpers Ferry
and Staunton. Much loss of life occurred
at other points, but as yet how much is
unknown, and nothing like definite APP
Proclamation can be made. Our journals
came out with stirring appeals to our citi-
zens, urging them to respond freely to the
appeals for relief of the sufferers in other
places The damage to this city and
Georgetown occurred mainly along the
river front. Some wharVes were torn
away. and much wood, coal and lumber
carried off. But in no case were homes
demolished or children left to cry for
bread in consequence. Many cellars were
filed with water, causing much damage
to stores, and will doubtless engende1
much sickness
Some painful reminders of others wot
have reached here, from mp the river
The scene at the long bridge, which unites
Washington at the terminus of fifteenth
street with Arlington, was replete with
suggestions of ruined homes, broken
family circles, and bleeding hearts, as
chairs, tables, beds, cradles, cribs, and
other household goods went crashing by
upon the naddened current, or disappear
cd in the huge masses of debris which
lodged against the piers.
In one instance the puny hand of 6
child was seen to protrude from one o.
these masses of debris. Men sprang for.
ward, at the risk of life, to rescue the lit
tie waif, but in their I'M due haste jal
was given to the floating mass, and the
little innocent sank into the turbid cur
rent TO be seen no more.
Along the upper side of this bridg,
were two jams of Lockwood, extending
along the side of the bridge and up the
river, the largest covering over an acre ii
surface. As soon as the fall of the rivel
had warranted the safety Of the bridge
the poor of all classes, but mainly of the
colored element, found rich harvest o
frewood. There was an excellent field o
observation for the student of human ma
ture, presenting marked manifestations o
characteristics. Despite the gloomy sur
roundings, the rolicking spirit of , the
darkey must be INDUCED, and the banter
and Jest. The characteristic yah, Yah 7

INVOLUNTARY SELF DESTRUCTION
A New York evening paper, commenting
on the fact that q gentleman was recently
found dead in his bed at Broadway hotel,
with a hole through his body made by a
pistol ball, advances the theory that the
man shot himself while asleep, and there
fore unconscious Of what he was doing.
The body, it appears was carefully covered
up to the chin, proving that the pistol
must have been fired under the sheets,
and also from the left hand. No possible
cause for the suicide-if such it was
could be assigned. So it is suggested by
the paper above mentioned that be might
have been asleep at the time, ana under
the influence of vivid dream. In sup
port of this view mention is made OF an
instance, known to the writer, when a
gentleman came very near killing his
wife one mig ht through dream in which
he saw himself in the act of shooting q
burglar. He awoke just as he was about
to pull the tris ger, and, to his horror
found himself standing by the side of the
bed, with the weapon cooked in his hand
levelled at the head of his wife. Had he
killed her, but few persons would have
believed the truth of his protestations Of
innocence of murder. Instances similar
to this are not, we believe, without occa
sional mention in the annals of crime, mol
yet entirely unknown to jurisprudence
but if there are any authenticated case'
they must be very rare indeed.
