four years. But John Hay and other pure
and good men who surrounded Lincoln were
assailed as are Grants White House generals,
and found it prudent for the sake of
peace and harmony, to retire. It may there
fore be judicious for General Grant to signal
ize the commencement of his new term Of
office by changing the personnel of his imme-
date surrounders at Washington. Such
policy will at least put stop to one of the
most persistently circulated ISLANDERS Of his
enemies, and we shall then see to what cal
jimmy they will next resort. We believe, too,
that public sentiment would approve such
action on the part of the President. The
people desire peace, and would be glad to see
the civil and military branches of the govern
ment kept apart as much as possible. The
gallant officers now in positions at the White
House will no doubt cheerfnlly tender their
designations and resume their more strictly
military duties. 1t will be concession ito
the wishes of the people, who are now his
party, If the President will make the change
wo suggest, and we believe that the mere fact
of Ill reports having been spread abroad
his present attaches, however
unjust they may be, will Of itself be sufficient
to induce him to make the sacrifice.

NEW YORK HERALD MONDAY APRIL l872-TRIPLE SHEET.

This was what the Apostle wanted to be CON-
WINGED Of The reverend preacher thought
that the cause of 80 many divisions
existing In the Christian Church to-day
is that, like Thomas, people will not believe
what they are told, but will rather follow their
own reason. The reverend father erred, we
think, In saying that "a man who has not OBJ
tanned good education cannot form an
opinion" on Christian truth and morals. We
think otherwise. And any man who Is able
to read the HERALD this morning may form
just as good and as sound an opinion on these
things as the most profound theologian in the
land. Truth is truth, whether we see it
through the medium of common sense or
through the telescope of college training, and
If any man will do His will he shall know Of
the doctrine, whether it be Of God or
not. Father McCready preached in
st. Stephens church on the proofs of
Christs divinity and Thomas relation
ton. Though this Apostle afterward placed
the most implicit faith aud confidence in the
Saviour, yet his brief scepticism deprived him
of the most abundant blessing promised to the
humble, unquestioning believer, namely-that
of seeing by faith Him who is invisible, as
Abraham and Moses and others saw God. In
st. Peters church DR.. Vaughan presented tho
claims of the colored people Of this land upon
the religious sympathies and support of the
Church. The Archbishop of this diocese yes
terday dedicated the new church of st.
Alphonsus, in South Fifth avenue, in presence
of large gathering.
Mr.. Beecher must have surprised the more
orthodox of his congregation yesterday (if he
has any such among his hearers) when he ut
tered his endorsement of a Universalst minis
ter from Kansas. But in doing this he did
not as freely endorse Universalism, but, on
the contrary, while contemplating the Church
of the future he declared that the doctrine of
eternal punishment will be the doctrine of the
Church of the future and he showed that in
the nature of things this doctrine must always
be believed. Mr.. Bentley told the Lee avenue
Reformed Dutch people few things about the
pernicogs effects of unbelief, and Robert
Collyer illustrated, to an audience of two
thousand five hundred people, in the Academy
of Music, how solitude conduced to temptation,
but how wholesome social life strengthened
the soul. These, with other discourses, we
commend to the notice of our readers to-day.

THE PUBLIC DEBT REDUCTION FOR THREE
YEARs.-The Secretary Of the Treasury has
caused the preparation of comparison be-
tween the public debt as it stands to-day and
as it was on the lst Of March, 1869, which we
publish elsewhere. Outside of its evident
electioneering object-though we do not see
why General Grant should not have every
honorable advantage Of his record In the
White House, as he has had Of his victories
in the wharf.-the comparison is interesting, as
bringing into birds-eye view the chief fea-
lures Of the national finances In the first
place, the public debt has been reduced about
1916, 900, 900 since General Grants Inaugural
ton, and now stands at So, 10000 600. The
animal interest charge has been reduced
about $50, 900, 900, and is now less than
$lO6, 600, OOc. All of which is fresh argu-
ment for swee ping reduction OF the taxes.

MoRSoNDoMs STATE CONSTITUTION has
arrived in Washington. Il is wonderful how
credulity blossoms in that palriarchal vale of
Utah. This primitive innocence is particu-
iariy visible in the idea that any Congress
would dare defy public opinion AMI decency
py erecting State government on the poly
game relic OF barbarsm. The constitution
guarantees freedom Of religion and provides
against immortality, but what a Mormons
ideas on these points may be we can hardly
guess, since crime against morality
is at the base of their religion. Polyeamv
must first be uprooted, Brother Brigham.

Many philosophers regard the faculty Of
memory rs being peculiar to the mind, but
Maudsley thinks this cannot te the case,
for it must exist in all the nerve-centers Of
the body. How, were it otherwise, could
these nerve center - iucated to produce
movements in answer to impressions 4
nervc-ceIter, whether Of sensation or mo-
ton, that was devoid of memory would be
an idiotic center and incapable Of eiuca-
tion. So far from memory being facllty
peculiar to the mind, it IS, as MIR. Pagst
has suggested, a property cf every tissue Cf
the body. The scar of a cut is one evidence
that the tissue recollects the injury it has
received. The whole system remembers an
attack of smallpox.
While We admit that memory is a func-
ton of every tissue, nevertheless its high
est development is in the greatest nerve
ceuter or brain. Impressions received in
times long past may here remain dormant
almost for lifetime Consciousness and
the utmost effort Of the will may be power
less to arouse them, but sooner or later the
poison of fever, the horror of a dream, or
the agony ef drowni may in moment
Gissipate the cloud, and in an instantaneous
fash the scenes Of long forgotten act ap-
pear as wildly and as 'eallv as when they
were first enacted. Il may even be, as De
Qaincey has suggested, that the opening Of
the book at the day Of judgment shall be
the unroling of the scroll of memory.-Na

Marlborough, n. y, who for ten years has
been in the consta-z heat Of legal struggle.
His suit has been with one of his neigh
bCr., Robert A. Kerr, who in 1859 leased
farm from Elisha Purdy, George father,
ior q period of five years, with covenant
to convey the property if Kerr paid $4,000
and all arrearages of rent at any time dur
ing the first three years Of tbs term.
The next year Mr.. Puriy died, leaving q
widow aud FIVE children. Kerr purchased
TIE interest of two Of the Children in 1861,
aud in 1872, on the las: day Of the three
years, he offered to pay the other children
andghe widow all the back rents and their
share of the SIC, ,000. at the same time de-
manding deed lie did not have the
money and they refused to eongey unless
cor,pelied to. Kerr then commenced s2it,
and it has run through all possible forms
and varieties, being decided and the decis
ION appealed from time and again, the last
and recent conclusion beiug refusal to
compel a conveyance. Ihe property has
grown in value ti! it now Involves as much
as SC0,0G0. Purdy's brain has been SO
affected by the long struggle that last SUM-
mer he attempted to kill his mother and
sisters and was sent to the insane asylum,
from which he has Just been released.

In an admirable chapter on the relations
Of the mind to the body, Professor Nauds-
ley says: "Those who would degrade the
body in order, as they imagine, to exalt the
mind, should consider more deeply than
they d. the Importance Of our muscular
expression of feeling The manifold shades
and kinds of expression which the lips pre-
sent, their gibes, gambols, and flshes OF
merriment; the quick language CT a quiv-
ering nostril; the varied waves aud rippies
Of emotion which play on the human coun-
tenance, with the spasns Of pscsion that
disfgure it-all which We take such pains
to embody in art, are simply effects Of mus
cular action. When the eye is turaei up
ward in rapt devotion, in the ecstacy of
supplcation, II is for the same reason as i.
rolled upward in faintng, il sleep, in the
agony of death:it is an involuntary act of she
obhque muscles when the straight msscles
cease to act on the eyeoall. We perceive
then, in the study of muscular action the
reason why man looks up to heaven in
prayer, and why he has placed there the
power whence cometh his help A sim
pie property of the body, as Sir Charlie
Bel observes--the fact that the eve in sup
plicat on takes what is its natural position
when not acted on by the will-has infu-
enced our conceptions Of heaven, our re-
ligious observances, and the habitual ex-
preston of our highest feelings.-Natars

Il is remarkable but nevertheless true,
that, as q rlle, firts, both male and female
DO rot marry quickly. Tie chances are
that q girl who becomes engaged at eight
cen, and goes on becoming engaged and dis
engaged as is the custom for firts t. do,
ultimately settles down into confirmed
oh maid If she does wed, as geuarGl
rule, she develops into viruent wasp,
makes her husband miserable, and brings
up her children bailr. Its not yery difficult
to find reasons why firts 20 net marry.
Sensible men admire in a woman some
thing besides a pretty face and engaging
manners. The love iatel!cct, common
sense. and heart qualifications, which the
fIrt does not possess. The true woman
allows her affections full play, and is not
ashamed Of them. She will not lead man
to believe she cares for him when she doe,
no such thing; she will not firt with him
just for the sake of flirting. She HIS Il

He would write N Book.

One afternoon, not loag age, as one of
our best known and most genial Boston
publishers was sitting in his den in the
back part of his store, he was suddenly
confronted by singular looking genius
fIily SIX feet tall, with an undeniably rel
head, a sandy complexion, and face
whose frcckles were certainly a subject of
study. He was lans AMI uncouth 10 the
last degree, anl his limbs seemeI awk-
wardlg put on, and continually in the way.
In ad ltion to the freckles on his face, it
was further 'ornamented by coarse,
fuzzy growth Of scattering beard, that
could only be liaenci 10 the sage brush of
tie Western plains, or the rough, scatter
ing growth to be met with on the sandy
wastes OF the Cape, of which plac., as it
soon tran>ured, be was a native.

from contemplating recent successful VEN

visitor began to "talk business at once.
