REFORu IN THE CHTRCHES.

A good deal of gossip has passed To and
fro, in religious circles, anent the change of
base, last Sunday, of a Unitarian clergyman
TO orthodoxy, and his assertions that the sect
he was leaving was in state of rapid de-
cadence-in fact, near its final dissolution.
With the truth of this statement we have
nothing whatever to do, nor with the motives
of any man for leaving one church boundary
10 enter another. Presbyterlanism, Episco-
pacy, and Rome herself may owe their differ
ences to inherent truth or error, or only be
so many roads to heaven suited to the exigen
cies of the various temperaments of believers it
is not the part of u secular paper TO decide or
even TO offer an opinion. But one fact, adj
verted to by Mr.. Hepworth in his sermon of
last Sunday, does lie within our province, and
deserves notice from every man who has a
hope that this world is "bettering house"
for himself or humanity. That is, that Chris
tianity is beginning, even at this late hour, Ia
be understood to mean, not as of old, the
stake or cart wheel, or fortunes of the inqui-
sition, nor yet the weekly dealing out modi-
cum of hcll-tire from the pulpit, TO those who
differ in opinion with lis, but charity and
brotherly love. "TO-day" says Mr.. lIepworth,
there is large enough freedom in any de-
nomination OF Christcndom the older and
"harsher doctrines have quietly disappeared :"
hence arguing that Untarianism as "the char
"tcr of human freedom has become u worn
out and needless vehicle.
Probably our friend is little TOO sangnine
IN his statement. The spirit of John Burley
throws its shadow over many village meet
ing-house desk, and the chains of Bartholomew
and spltalelds still rattle in many prayer
and psalm but there can be no doubt that
in these later days n kindlicr temper and
higher mcutal outlook are giving to
every denomination the features of toll

ORR CITY AND HER COMMERCE..

1t is current but most erroneous belief
that New-Y0rk owes her commercial ascend
ency to her natural advantages. The truth
is far otherwise. Though considerably older
than any Of her rivals, her primacy among
American cities is comparatively recent. When
she had been two centuries peOplcd by civil
lied men, Philadelphia, though far younger,
was the more important and populous. Her
greatness is product of genius. She is mighty
through the intellectual might of her states
men. But for Dewitt Clinton and bis faith
full band, i'll spite of our local De-
mOcracy, who repeatedly sent delegations
to our Legislature instructed to vote TO
fill up the ditch,n the Erie Canal would have
been postponed generation or never con-
structed at all, leaving NcwYork II second
rate city. Philadelphia ranked her until the
excavation of that secuted "dtchh was as
sured Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk, received
ut Natures hands advantages transcending
those of our city. Our bay and haibor are
magnificent; but these alone do not insure
that great commercial emporium shall en-
circle them. Nature did far more for Spain
than for England, for Portugal than for HOl-
land; Man has redressed that partially.
Greece and Italy are but specks on the earth's
surface yet their annals embrace half the his
tory of mankind.
Our Ciy's commercial asccndency is the fruit
of genius, daring, sclf-sacriGce; its overthrow
is threatened by mole-cyed rapacity--by ign0ble
thirst of gain. Any fair exhibit will prove that
tho trade of Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Savannah, has grown faster thum ours during
the last 1--WE years. 1t has 50 grown because
ours has been oyer-weightcd By exaclious and

Though the memorial of the Bar Association
has not been formally presented to the Legis-
lature, it has been submitted to prominent
members of the Senate and Assembly, and IS
likely to receive careful attention. We hope
TO see a resolution for the impeachment of
two or three Judges introduced without much
further delay. The prosecution of Tweed and
Connolly, important as it is, becomes OF little
consequence in comparison with prosecution
of the corrupt judiciary. Until we reform this
branch of our rotten Government, we have
done very little. There is reason to believe
that tho Bar Association is prepared with
abundant evidence to support the movement
whenever the Legislature consents to .mder-
take it,

A French journal, commenting on Bismarck
policy toward France, says that it Is beneath
"the dignity of France TO argue against force"
But the rumOr that Theirs has, at the instance
of the German Chancellor, requested Gambetta
to deSist from speech-making i'll the south of
France must have originated in source that
was inmical to the Chief of the Executive as
well Us TO the people who have this superior
dignity. We can understand how the timid
Theirs could ask Gambctta to stop talking.
hut that Bismarck should interfere is highly
unavoidable

People looked to see our Reform Legislature
make some faint show of industry at the be-
ginning of its session at least. The Speaker,
with great confidence, announced that he should
use his best efforts to break up the i'll prac-
tice of frequent adjournments and long re-
cesses; but his good words have had no effect
in the House which elected him. The Assem-
bly, voted yesterday noon to adjourn to Mon
day evening by 60 to 3d. The Senate has
likewise gone home. This is disgraceful and
culpable. 1t takes three days out of each SIX
working days, and clogs the whole routine OF
committee business. After this exhibition, don't
let us hear anything more of the proposition
TO nav the members eight dollars per day.

The exhibition of partisan feeling IN the
Custom house Investigation Committee yester-
day was not very creditable. Senator Howe
talked about "our side as if he and other
original opponents to any investigation were
there "a defendants counsel, instead of grave
and reverend Senator's interested only in dis
covering the truth. He also entered plea IN
favor of "DecOy" Bliss, as assistant counsel
for his side Senator Stewart, too, was ready
to buster about the right of the same side TO
get in rebutting evidence directly on the heels
of unpleasant testimony respecting abuses
Altogether, the proceedings had not much Dig
nity. and but precious little fairness.

IF any Of the Senatorial opponents to inves-
tigatiOn al Custom house affairs desire further
light on the subject of assessments in that
institution for political purposes, they are
likely TO get ii. One of Mr.. Murphy's subor-
dinates has broreht suit to recover the amount
of an asscssment-twO per cent on q years

sssal. After the campaign was over the officer

his money back again This is a ease Of great

The wrath against the street railways in Boston,

teal shape. There is a talk atileast Of steam

If there was any uncertainty as to whether
our flag had been insulted by Spain. there
need be no longer any such doubt. The
afidavits of the officers of the Florida are
conclusive and explicit enough to satisfy the
most completely indurated sense of honor
that we have been disgracefully snubbed on
the high seas by two Spanish men-Of-war.
The Florida, which had been laid up for
months in ballast at st. Thomas, was fol-
lowed by one Spanish war-vessel, fired at,
hove to, and searched, though the American
flag was flying from the steamer thus per-
emptolily brought to by shot. And this
insult was repeated by another war-ship of
the same nationality, several days after.
This may be according to the Spanish idea
of the right of search; but it looks like a
gross attack, for which an immediate demand
for reparation and apology should be made.

The result of the trial of Gen. Jordan Of the
Cuban Junta will surprise nobody. He was
indicted for an alleged breach of the neutrality
laws in that he aided the insurgent Cubans
in various unlawful ways. 1t now comes out
that the witnesses before the U. 5. Grand
Jury, upon whose testimony the indictments
were found, were suborned in the interest OF
the Spanish Government, appearing under
feigned names, and that they cannot now be
produced, having accomplished their special
mission by assisting in procuring the mdict-
ments. OF course, there was nothing left for
the Court but to discharge the defendant, and
suggest that the false witnesses should be
indicted for perjury. This sort of persecution
has all the flavor of Havanese justice.

The measures introduced by Mr.. Twombly
for the relief of Controller Green, and the
prompt payment of the city officials police
and others, seem in the main well guarded
and judicious. The need for instant relief in
several of the departments cannot be over
rated; and we hope the Legislature may
next week make the promptest work with these
bills, and give Mr.. Green the required power
to pay off the men to whom the City is in
debt for earned and needed salaries.

The Assembly has adopted resolution in.
structing the Insurance Committee to invest
gate the charges against Superintendent Mil
Ter. We are glad of it. Serious accusations
have been made against this official, and they
ought to be tested. "NOw is the time" cries
John Thomas, for the officials of the insur-
lance companies to speak out. They do not
hesitate to denounce Miller and his system
"when they can do so anonymously. They
" are constantly urging us to go on exposing
Miller We are, a. usual, to take all the
responsibility and all the blame. If they
sbirk the responsibilities OF fair lnVcstiga-
" ton, the public can form but one
conclusion regarding the SOundhess and
trustworthiness of the management OF
"New-York insurance companies" I'm
ia sensible. Everybody who has denounced
Miller ought to speak out and II tbs IN
surance companies do not come forward we
hope the Committee will call Mr.. George Jones.
He knows all about it--Or at least he says he
does-and if he can only be caught in his IN
dividual capacity as man, rather than his ao
stract character as newspaper, he may be In
duced to testify. OF course, if he should sbirk
the responsibilities of fair investigation, the
public can form but one conclusion regarding
the soundness and trustwOrthiness of The Ner;
