-Heary ward Beecher delivered sermon
n his church, in Brooklyn, N. Y, on Sunday,
ON the alleged ciiy frauds, which seems to
have been well considered and sensible pro-
duction. He told his pew-holders very frank
" that no political capital could be made out
of these disclosures, as they were simply an
evidence of the financial dishonesty OF the
times, which is as manifest In Washington as
In New York, and is as true Of commercial as
Of political circles.
The frauds perpetrated by what is known
as the Tammany ring in the government OF the
City of New York are found to be more STU
,pendous as investigation progresses. 1t Is now
developed that the expenditures for what Is
called The, city account, which is separate from

they are admitted to medical classes in certain
of our medical institutions, they are not, in
any case, allowed to practice in the public
hospitals.
"A correspondent of the New York Herald
has been out to Minnesota and ''intervlewed'
General Hancock. He found him, as usual,
on duty, looking bronzed and hearty, and
presenting every evidence Of sound health
and eontented spirit. The reporter was not
long in reaching the subject of the Presidency,
and upon this subject the General frankly said
that the fact of his being freely mentioned as
Presidential candidate did not possess that
interest that people probably suppose. He
spoke with pardonable pride of his army
position and record, and considered It "a little
late TO seek new field of action" He, how
ever, did not think 1t proper for any one to
isnore the will of the people, and an express
sion of preference for himself by his native

cacles of politicians.

end cheap it must be to enable all below certain
classes aud occupations tolive. A little more

in that country; only master workman can
