The street Car Murder.

The public will demand not only the prompt
and severe punishment of the miscreant who
80 foully murdered Mr.. Putnam, but the most
searching investigation will have to be made
into the conduct Of the driver and conductor
of the car, In order to discover how far one
was or both were culpable In connection with
this most dastardly and bloody outrage.
Those who may desire to throw dust in the
eyes of the men who will be called upon to
act In this case, who will be disposed to take
advantage Of every technicality in order to
make the crime appear less henous than II is,
and who will endeavor to shield the villain
from the vengeance Of an outraged community,
had better take care. had better be warned in
time; for the consequences of such conduct on
their part will be most unpleasant. This last
murder has shocked the public to q great
degree, and the question is naturally asked,
who is safe? Punishment must follow quickly
on the heels Of the hellish deed, and it will
have to be Of q character to strike terror to
tho hearts Of the many scoundrels among us
whose hands are ever ready to take life, even
without the slightest provocation. The muir
derer will have to be made an example of.
The law will have to be prompt and the pun
lshment adequate to the crime, or else an ex-
asperated community may see at to decorate q
few lampposts with the carcases of some

from business will be noticeable. 1t will be

The Sermons Yesterday.

We report this morning some interesting
sermons which were delivered at the churches
yesterday. Rev. Chauncey Giles explained
to his congregation the Swedenborgan idea
Of public worship; Bishop Potter discoursed
on redemption and regeneration, after which
he admitted. thirty-fve repentant sinners
to the communion; Rev. DR.. Armitage urged
and extended comfort to those who stand
waiting at the threshold of grace, and Mr..
Hepworth, going little further, showed them
how to get into the kingdom of heaven. On
the same subject Bishop Southgate preached
to small congregation, warning his hearers to
s'enter in at the straight gate, and impressing
on their minds the important fact that not all
will be permitted to enter. Mr. rockingham
which, after saying that too much of good
thing is as dangerous as too little (sic), he
proceeded to throw cold water upon the state
ments of the Old Testament. The laying Of
the corner stone Of a new church at Fort
Washington was the occasion for a sermon
from Father Hecker, in which the reverend
gentleman rejoiced over the progress of
CATHOLICISM.
Our reports from Ulster county give SER
mon by Rev. Mr.. Vandeever, in Kingston, on
the character of Christ, and one in the same
place, by DR.. Still, on the miraculous power of
faith. In Brooklyn Mr.. Beecher was radiant
with joy over the application of one hundred
and fifteen persons for admission to
the fold Of Plymouth. After announc-
ing this fact Mr.. Beecher preached
on the subject Of the glory Of the ages to
come, when there will be ga new heaven and
new earth, that righteousness may dwell in
it. Father Cassidy and Rev. Mr.. Chapman
also delivered interesting sermons in Brook
Ign. Indeed, all the religious discourses Of
yesterday were on important subjects affecting
the present and future welfare of mankind;
hence we recommend the perusal Of our
reports this morning to all persons who seek
to mend their ways and to walk with the pure

The Demonstration In london in Favor
Of the Paris Commune.


Of the Paris Commuue.
The last files of the English journals contain
full reports of the meeting which took place in
Hyde Park, London, on the 18th of last month.
The demonstration was intended to express
the sympathy of the English republicans with
the present instruction which is destroying
Paris and disturbing France. Though the
assemblage was comparatively small the lam
guage of the orators was fierce and violent,
and Enthusiastically hostile to the governments of
England and the other European countries.
From the addresses made on the occasion it is
easy to perceive the drift and tendency Of the
thoughts of these woud-be leaders of the work
ingmen of Great Britain. Unfortunately the
sentiments of these men too often exercise a
dangerous influence over the working classes,
and Notwithstanding that the English
press affects to ridicule the demonstra-
ton in Hyde Park, it is nevertheless
true that the agitation naugurated in London,
expressive of sympathy with the insurgents in
Paris, is the indication of dangerous sen.i-
ment prevailing among certain class of Brit
fish workmen. In all large cities there are to
be found republicans Of q stripe who advocate
the overthrow of every form of government
which does not concede impossibilites. Lon
don is the very hotbed of these men. They
flock there from every cline, and receive
warm welcome from the fanatical theorists
who abound there. The little cropping out
of the Red element at the Hyde Park demon
stration may be but the precursor of other and
more serious exhibitions. It is well known
that throughout the capitals of Europe there
exist combinations of men as daring and as
reckless as those who now fight behind the
barbados of Paris. Give them but an oppor-
tunity to show their strength, and they will do
it. Viewing the London demonstration in
this light, we do not wholly agree with the
press of London in regarding the democratic
display in the English capital as of small ac-

Grousset, in reply to an Interpolation, said
there was something offensive in asking Europe
to recognize the belligerency Of Paris. 1t was
puerile to ask for what they already had. The
Commune waged war irreproachably. No
explosive bullets were used; there was no
bombarding of places filed with women and
children. These violations of the usages of
civilized warfare he charged upon the army Of
Versailles. In the cartridge boxes Of the
prisoners taken by the National troops explo-

the control.
