ONE of the Philadelphia clergymen, the
Rev. p. S. Henson, has been Directing to
what he calls running church like rail-
road train, son schedule time" He claims
that if preacher can say all that is necessary
in twenty minutes il is time for him to stop,
aud says invocationS, prayers or sermons
must be snort or long, as occasion requires.
The warm weather in Philadelphia has made
the ideas of Mr.. Henson very popular among

The Comet Coggia.

As the wonderful phenomenon discovered
by the Marseilles astronomers is now rapidly
approaching the earth we shall soon have
the privilege of ascertaining the dimensions
of the fiery tail. We shall soon be able
to solve the problem of how near this
heavenly visitor will come to u.s. whose kind
was the terror of the ancients and an object
of special attention to those prophetic spirits
who saw in the flashing tail and the
almost incalculable speed Of traversing space
all that was terrible for mankind and
all that was wrathful in the Creator We
may by careful calculation within the next
few days ascertain if this little terrestrial ball
of ours is to pass through the trailing append
age and give us foretaste of the penalty that
is in store for sinful men. Ellis
tory repeats ITSELF" we are often
reminded, and why should we not
have repetition of astronomical as well
as political history. Imagine, tor instance,
our venerable Mayor from the land of the
Knickerbockers, after the fashion Of the
Emperor Charles ", calling together the mu-
ncipal wisdom of our reformed city at the
City Hall and relating with almost breath
less anxiety and fearful eye that he recognized
the appearance of the comet as a warn
ing that he should lay down the sceptre
which he has welded for the past few CEN
turtles. Imagine how the master intellects
of finance and fancy architecture would reel
when the embraces of the Mayor reminded
them that henceforth the comet would connect
the past and the present by notches in its
tail, and that the occupation of the first
Dutch emigrant to Manhattan Island had
gone forever. As grand finale to the career
of our municipal ancient he might found
college wherein should be collected the
events Of the forty centuries of his existence,
which he might dedicate to the most mighty
and potent Coggia to appease offended maj
esty. And then he might build half dozen
churches, each with q bell tower so that,
Marguerite-like, he might ascend to the long
tailed monster amid the mournful clang-
ing Of bells. Again, we can imagine the
humane Bergh suddenly arriving at the
conclusion that it is simply this COMPOUNDED
comet that is driving our most confiding
canine friends mad, and behold him as he
stands at Marriott's pound, with Snarleyow
under each arm, repeating the "God bless
YOU of the sixth century as an exorcism
against the devil in the dogs. We might
draw other comparisons for the considera-
ton of those who will probably watch
the monster this evening, whose bolidcs might
send down death and destruction, but we
place before our readers elsewhere this MORN
ing some astronomical statements that will in
all probability prove quite as interesting.

We remarked the other day that Mr.. Eugene
Hale, of Maine, was very fortunate young
man, but it seems that he can also be very
foolish one. In accepting the Office of Post
master General, that he might be able to 70
sign it in the dramatic manner he chose to
adopt at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, he
was disrespectful both to the President and
the country. Such triAing was never before
witnessed in the Executive chamber. MIR.
Hale knew week ago as well as he knows
to-day how much his health has suffered by
his labors during the session of Congress,
and 1t was solemn duty that he owed to the
country to determine in advance of his 40
ceptance of the place offered him whether he
would be able to perform the work of the
department. 1t was not q sacrifice that was
demanded of him but while it is true that
Cabinet Office under General Grant offers few
temptations to politician, and that seat in
Congress is more desirable than to be Post
master General, we can see no reasonable
explanation of Mr.. Hale's conduct Webster
and Marcy and Buchanan and many other
eminent men held very different views regard
ing the dignity and importance of Cabinet
appointments; but Mr.. Hale is not to be
blamed for not sharing in their opinions.
When statesmen ceased to be Cabinet officers
Cabinet Offices fell in public estimation. Mr..
Hale is not so sickly youth as not to know
all this and, while he had perfect right to
decline the position, he had no right to
coquet with it as he has done. If it was q
ruse to strengthen him with his constituents
in the coming election his conduct was all the
more reprehensible. View it as we may, We
can see no excuse or palliation for his be-
havior. His actions were simply cute YAM
kee trick played upon the President and tho
country, and the only adequate punishment
for his offence will be in his signing in vain
for Cabinet position after tie good people of
Maine have tired Of his services in Congress.
Political speculations will naturally spring
out of this fippant conduct Of Mr.. Hale. As
the friend of Blaine it will probably be as
sumed that his acceptance involved possible
disloyaIty to his old chief or his new master.
Little importance is to be attached to any such
chatter Hale is not able, even as Postmaster
General, to make or unmake Presidents.
Nobody knows this better than Speaker Blaine.
Hale was to the Speaker only a capable and
ambitious boy, whom he took pleasure in
pushing ahead in the Congressional arena.
The boy was to be a useful boy as matter Of
course; but neither Blaine nor Grant could
expect him to control the next national re-
publican convention. 1t is as we'll for Blaine,
perhaps, that Hale should not be in the
Cabinet but the act Of declination is probably
only display of the fippancy and smartness
of the young man upon whom the President
unfortunately conferred o very important
appointment only TO be treated with disrespect
in return.

therefore. as clearly incurred the penalty I'M
posed by the charter as the penalty imposed
by the Revised Statutes, and are excluded from
holding any Office whatever under the city
government. The bubbles of the lawyers
and politicians will be as ineffective in
changing this fact as they have been in the
attempt to prove that men who violate law
they are sworn to obey do not break their
oath of Office.
We have already expressed the hope that
the successful prosecution of this case may
lead to the Indictment and conviction Of other
public officers who have grossly and wilfully
violated the law. The disgraceful spectacle
is now presented of a Mayor sworn 'to be
vigilant and active in causing the ordinances
of the city and laws of the State to be exc
cuted and enforced not only overlooking
violations of law on the part of his subordi-
mates in the city government, but seeking by
trickery and subterfuge to cheat the public
and cover up the most outrageous cases OF
official malfeasance. For the credit and
honor of the city, as well as for the protection
of the taxpayers this scandal should be
brought to close. The acts OF the
Commissioners of Charities and Correction
have been in number OF instances
clearly in violation of law. Leaving out OF
sight for the moment the fraudulent character
of some of the bills rendered by that depart
ment for supplies purchased for the city; the
dry goods, raised from thirty to forty per cent
above their honest market price; the flour
charged to the city at an advance of two or
three dollars barrel above its regular quota
ton; the enormous amount of bread, meat,
&C., alleged to be consumed by the inmates of
the institutions for charity and correction; the
horse purchases, coal, milk, feed and other
articles, almost all of which are Of question
able character; the plain fact that sup
plies have been purchased in sums
by the law, without bids and
is undenied and undeniable.
The Mayor, having these facts in his
possession, fails in the duties he is sworn to
perform when he neglects to investigate them
md to remove the unfaithful officers. He
adds to the offence of which he is guilty when
be imposes a fraudulent investigation on the
people with the design of raising side issues
and concealing the illegal acts of his subor-
dinates, for by this act he becomes particeps
criminals in the original violation of law. The
promptness with which Governor Dix has
performed his share in the unpleasant duties
growing out Of the conviction of the
Police Commissioners will encourage the
people in an attempt to get rid of other faith
less officers, and to save the city from the
scandal by which we are at present disgraced.
The Commissioners of Charities and Correc-
ton should be the next brought to account,
and it will be singular if the investigation of
their case does not involve other public Off
GERS and cast down the whole fabric Of incom-
potency and dishonesty known as the reform
city government.
