Supervisors OF westchester county. performed part
OF their duty yesterday The metropolitan COM
mittee consists OF Aldermen McCaferty, Mon
heimer, Billings, Koch and Cooper, while Messrs.
VIM. Cauldwen, James Brown, Jas. Kuntz ana John
y. Hunt represent westchester. These gentlemen
yesterday visited the Park department. and held
conerence with Mr.. s. II. Wales, the President or
the commission in order to ascertain from him what
progress had been made facilitating communication
between New York and her new member The
new Typographical map of the lower part of West
chester county was examined and explained. The
gentlemen from Westchester pointed out defects
existing IN the plan to lay out streets In that
locality, as drawn mp by the commissioner ap-
pointed In 1868. These detects consisted chiefly i'm
lack OF uniformity In the grades Ac together
too great and caused much dissatisfaction among
the residents. Mr.. Hunt said IL was n grand
swindle, and declared that he only expressed the
sentiments OF his colleagues.
A suggestion from the gentlemen from West
chester TO cover and make sewer OF MIL Brook
Greek was favored by the New York Aldermen and
Mr.. Wales, and In all probability will be acted
upon.
II was proposed TO alter the streets so as to
thus facilitating the building OF bridges over the
river, which, ~ done now, would necessitate the
throwing Of the spans In diagonal lines.
ALDERMAN MCOAFFERTY said ne intended shortly
TO 0fier q resolution IN the Board Of Aldermen FOR
the construction OF large sewer In Westchcster.
Mr.. WALES promised TO give the proposition his
eafuess attention, and the committee withdrew.

RIGHT vs.. PARTY.

senator Carpenters speech in Louisiana
was not his first attack on the Kellogg
government. Last winter, after listening
to the testimony before the Senate invcsti-
.,ating cOmittee, he became so well salts
fiel that ii was a usurpation, that he said
in Il speech in the senate he would like to
see anybody defend that government in
Wisconsin during the campaign. lie con-
sidercl that federal interference had cstab-
lishe government in spite of the laws of
the State: and that the returns showed the
McEncrv government to he the one elected.
lie stated further that this was conceded,
aul that there was nothing to show that
Kellogg was elected nothing whatever.
In his late speeches in Louisiana, Mr..
Carpenter seems to have got his position
father confused. or he has not received
justice from the reporters. His position
a,p'lr, IT, h, that of believing in the
election of McEncry and the administer
ing of the government by Kellogg.
But if the republicans of the senate con-
ccdcl that McEnery was elected, and
Mr.. Carpenter could have meant nothing
else for the word conceded would not
apply to the opposition-how are they to
to be excused for leaving no law behind
them, or any attempt to make law to
settle the difficulty? Right should not be
sacrificed to party. The democratic party
or the liberal party, or the opposition party
ar any other party, when right is in better
position than the republican party or any
other party when wrong. By their action
they committed the republican party to a
known wrong. expecting their neglect to
he justified. not because it was right but
that twas supposed party benefit. A party
cannot live under continuance of such
treatment. 1t was the superior justice of
the republican party that gave it power.
McEnery shows his good sense by advi-
sing his followers, as he has at last conclu-
died to do, to suspend action till Congress
meets. If Senator Carpenter is to he cred
tied with this, his visit was a public bene-
faction. 1t is not probable that the pre-
sent Congress will fail to award justice
where full investigation may show it to be-
long.

by telegraphic dispatch in yesterdays
GLOBE has been determined upon by the
deacons of Plymouth church.
While it is the right of every man to be
presumed innocent till proved guilty, and
while there has been shrinking on our
part from publishing this dreadful story, it
is absolutely necessary that the facts should
be laid before our readers on the thresh-
hold of the proposed Investigation, to cna-
BILE them to read ntelligibly the dispatches
likely to be received as the trial progresses.
Without meaning to express any opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of the
great preacher, whose case is now about to
be submitted to the regularly authorized
court of his own church. we leave the mat
ter at this point.

agent. Assuming these duties at crcdi-
cal period of the management of the com
pany DC was successful in reducing them
10 the most complete working system of
any railroad in the country, and by his in
flexible honesty, invariable kindness and
courtesy, he endearcd himself to all with
whom he came in contact.
Upon the retirement of that sterling, no.
ble-heartcd man, Webster Snyder, and the
accession of Col. Hammond as general SUI
pcrintcndcnt of the line to the regret of
many, in the carly part of May, 1870, he
resigned his position to the care of another
until the appointment of Mr.. Sickels. who,
approaching his great value, promptly re-
stored him. to the extreme qualification of
hosts OF his friends Succeeding i'm correct
ing the errors of his predecessor, and plac-
ing the freight business of the company
upon most profitable basis, he held the
position until the middle of September of
the following year, when he resigned in
favor of the gentleman now filling the
office, but the company, 10th to lose him,
prevailed upon him TO remain in their ser
vice upwards of another year, until he
could better his fortunes elsewhere.
This came at last in the shape of a telc-
gram from General Mead, of the Northern
Pacific, rendering him Il very important ap-
pointment, which we understand he has
accepted, and will soon leave to assume his
new duties, and we know his undoubted
ability will cause him to rise into the high
est positions in the service of that com
pany, any one of which he is so well quail
flied to fill. We shall miss him from our
midst and in our social gatherings, which
he and his amiable family have done so
much to enliven, but at the same time we
tender him our heartiest congratulations,
and none will rejoice more sincerely over
his future success than ourselves.
Col. Brownson will leave tomorrow for
Edwinton, at the Missouri crossing, North
crn Pacific railroad where he will assume
the position of western agent. The rail-
road company have made arrangements to
run line of twelve or fifteen steamers to
Forts Rice and Benton, and Col. Brownson

with which they abound.
In the afternoon he run widely out of the
beaten track of preaching in presenting his
views of the origin and nature of the fIoly
Spirit, as well as its modus operandi. II
was subject to the same laws as any other
spirit emanating from an organism let that
organism be that of the snake, men. de-
mans, or God. The snake charms the bird,
man mismcrizes man. demons, as in spirit
ualism, control men, and God by his spirit
enters man, when man is in that receptive
state emptied of all sin, as to invite il.
This spirit of God is a gift, and is ready for
all the people of Rutland when they are
ready for it. But it won't come while we
mold on to our sins. You cant have two
dliierent things, such as sin and Gods
iioiy spirit, in the same place-or in the
human heart-at the same time. Many re-
Ject the idea of Gods Holy Spirit because
they can't see it. Neither can they see the
mesmeric fire, yet the Holy Spirit may he
in men. Christians are its temples, though
the dissccting knife of the anatomist may
not be able to disclose it. You can't see
what you can feel. Even Christians don't
always have it. They must be put in
condition for it. A doctor in Chicago,
who had been converted long time,
got 1t at last in one of the speakers meet
ings there, and felt so rejoiced about it, he
shouted out in the midst of the services.
When man is filled with the Holy Spirit
he will show it-show it in his family
he'll stop scoldng. Let that hit where it
mayl. He knew a woman-a christian
woman in California who got it once and
then lost it. She could not understand that
church members needed praying for the
same as other folks. And not until she
came forward for prayers, yielded herself
up, became all empty as it were, did the
Holy Spirit flow into her heart But it
took nights agony and days struggle
to get it. But when she did get it, then
everything was changed. If her children
or husband got cross, she was all love and
kindness. Some it takes a week or month
in brother Matthewsons case it took six
months-to get it. You must be in condi-
ton for it, An old cider barrel is ant to be
musty. 1t wants scalding out to make it
sweet. So we need scalding out by trials
And when we get it we obtain great
blessing. One man down in Connecticut
got it-and for shouting out in meeting, he
got fined fifteen dollars because he disturb
ed the rich folks of the congregation. But
remember God is more willing to give his
Holy Spirit to you, than you are to give to
your children. Put yourselves in fit cond-
ton to receive it, and when YOU have given
up all to Christ, don't, said the speaker.
look back and prove unworthy of the gift.
