FULTON STREET PRAYER MEETING.
The sixteenth anniversary of the Full
ton street prayer meeting was held in
the North Dutch church, New York,
yesterday. The building was crowded,
and large numbers who were unable to
find seats remained standing during the
entire session of one hour and three
quarters. Visitors from various parts of
the United States and the old world
were present. The printed programme
stated that nineteen volumes had been
published relating to the meeting since
its origin.
Quite large number of aged persons
were present, some of whom were cler-
gymen. President McCosh of Prince
ton presided. He announced the first
hymn, Coronation, 'and made the open
ing address. Prayer was offered by the
Rev. G. M. McCampbell. Dr. McCosh
said that the speeches were limited to
ten minutes, and introduced the Rev.
DIR. Van Ness of Italy, who said that he
felt that Italy had been greatly benefit
ed by the prayers of the meeting.
There were ten thousand persons in the
evangelical churches there.
Rev. Wayland Hoyt said that answers
to prayer were no more wonderful than
the introduction of steam and electri-
city. The venerable DIR. Dewitt, pas
tor of the church, said that he began
his labors there in 1927, was licensed to
preach in 1912, and was now over four
score years old. Addresses were also
made by the Rev. DIR. Robinson, the
Rev. E. F. Remington, the Rev. DIR.
Alex. Thompson, and Mr.. jackson.
Rev. DR.. G.. H. Ball, Editor of the
Baptist Union, made the closing speech.

THE PANIC AND REAL ESTATE.

A good many persons ask what effect
the money panic will have on the price
of real estate. We think the effect will
be to drive people with small sums to
invest in houses and lots where the in
vestment will be safe.
Nothing can be safer for man with
few hundred dollars than to invest in
good lot in the city of Elizabeth. We
are satisfied that our home banks OF
savings are safe and sound. Yet the
real estate of the country cannot run
away, and what the hard working indus
trious man ought to do, is to put his
spare dollars in lot, or in house.

BROOKLYN CORRUPTION,

Mr.. Rodman was before the Grand
Jury for long time yesterday, and had
with him pile of books and papers,
checks, &C., all records of the Trust
Company. What the result was cannot
yet be known, but there is little doubt
that an Indictment will be found against
Mr.. Sprague.
Mr.. Rodman said before he went in
that he would answer all questions put
to him, no matter whom they concern
ed. The district attorney was employed
in his office all day arranging the proof,
and it is expected that ere long there
will be some further new revelations in

How Fusion p.a;orities are Made.

The following letter from perfectly
responsible gentleman living in Mad
ison parish, is offered as an offset
TO all the 6Orid defamation that
has been written or uttered about
sitting the voice of the people, in behalf of
the fusion schemers. If the voice of the
people can only be heard through the
manipulations of thieving supervisors Of
election and registration, it is time that it
be hushed for while:
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
| have read the inflated address of
Colonel John McEnery to the people of
Louisiana with great surprise, knowing, as
| do, the rascalites which were practiced
in the country parishes. l would speak Of
one parish where the voting population was
as follows white $50, Colored 2J3j-actual
number registered. If there was not that
many votes cast, the percentage must be
deducted equal from each party, or white
and black. All classes of people of the
United States know the colOred voters of
Southern States vote the National Repub-
hcan ticket, if they have fail opportunity
of voting and i'll accordance with the EN-
forcoment act, | think every man who is
NOS allowed the free use of his vote, that
it should be credited to whichever
party said vote belongs. Now, the point to
be made here is, that the registrars returns
Show that large proportion Of the parish
officers in said parish were elected on the
Democratic or Liberal ticket, and that the
vote for Governor gives Colonel McEnery
double the whitc vote in said parish, max
ing difference against Hon. William Pitt
Kellogg of about CO or 800 votes. Now.
this great howl about American liberty and
fair voting is all humbug. If the fusion
party had wished for fair dealing, why did
they not so instruct their State registrars,
so that they would have some excuse for
their cOmplaintsf Colonel McEnery denies
that this was scramble for power; if not,
why make false returns in order to let ia
one of their partyf Perhaps that honorable
gentlemen is not aware of these facts; if not,
be kind enough to let him and friends hear
from a Republican that does not have to
make his Y,

st Louis River Commerce.

We copy the suhjOined article from the
St. Louis Republican of the first instant:
Some idea of the extent and character of
the commerce of St. Louis carried on by
means OF river crafts, can be formed by
consulting the elaborate report of a years
transactions which we publish this morning.
In this report will be found valuable stats
tical tables in relation to the operation of
the various lines of packets plying between
St. Louis and other ports On the Mississippi
and its tributaries. The report also exhibits
the number of tcus Of freight brought to
this city by these packets; the number Of
arrivals and departures; the amount of
freight exported by river, and the charac-
ter and value of the tonnage employed
in navigating the Western rivers. An
other feature in this annual review of
the river commerce of st. Louis is
the elaborate statement of the number and
character Of casualties to steamboats,,
barges and other crafts engaged in Davi
eating Western rivers. This extensive list
will show the nature OF the obstacles in the
way of any great increase in the amount of
tonnage on these waters. The causes of
the larger number of casualties reported,
however, are susceptible of removal, and
if Western interests were properly regard
ed b q the general government, they would
be speedily removed. The report of trans
actions at the customhOuse for the past
seven years shows gain in the tonnage at
this port of little more than five thousand
tons since 1866.
table showing the number of vessels
lost, the causes which led to their destruc
ton, amount of money invested in them,
and the amount of insurance, will be con-
suited with interest by other than steam
bOatmen.
Another feature in this review is the val
liable statistics of the steam tonnage of the
United States. These tables reveal the fact
that little more than one-third of the en-
tire steam tonnage registered in the United
States is employed on the Western rivers.
The facts in relation to the large increase
in expenditures, for salaries of officers to
execute the steamboat laws of the United
States, will not fail to engage the attention
OF steambOatmen, aud should have the
thoughtful consideration of every one in
terested in solving Ghe problem OF cheap
freights.
There are many things in the review we
publish this morning that possess a sugges-
tiveness which we can not follow at present
In relation to the causes of the many disas
ters to river crafts, there is much room for
discussion. The fact, made apparent in the
statement of the vast 9mount of property
lost in consequence of distractions to navl-
CATION which can and ought TO be removed
at the expense of the general government,
will doubtless elicit discussion among all
classes of the business community, and
may possibly be of service in creating a
public sentiment that will be felt by the
representatives of the West in the national
Congress.
