Tho President En- Route to Texas.

President Grant and party left st. Louis on
Saturday last, via the Missouri Pacific and
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroads, for
Texas At Sedalia Generals Sheridan and
Augur are to join him, and company of
Eastern railway magnates returning from on
overland trip to San Francisco will meet the
distinguished travellers in the Indian Terri
tory On the return trip certain Indian dele
cations of and in said Territory are to have
big talk with their "Great Father" But what
otherwise is the meaning of this Presidential
expedition into Texas Is the object the bet
ter regulation of the '.bad Indians" who are
on the warpath over all the region from the
Indian Territory to New Mexico? Or is it the
reconstruction of the federal of6ce-holders in
Texas? Or is it, on the part Of said railway
magnates at least, to impress upon the Presi-
dent the public advantages of the Southern
Pacific Railway and its branch lines, and Of
some grants of lands and bonds to aid in the
building of the main line? Or does General
Grant go down to Texas simply to see the
country? In the course Of few days we may
be able to answer these questions. It is pos
sible, however, that the railway magnates
aforesaid are most deeply interested in this
Presidential excursion and in some prodigious
land grabbing schemes for which they desire
10 open the way into Congress. But nous DER

Art Fra uds In Italy.

We publish in another column on article
taken from the pen Of o distinguished Italian
critic dealing with the question of art frauds
charged against some American scu1ptors by
Mr.. Healy and others. Notwithstanding the
eloquent defence made by Miss Hosmer and
some other friends to American art, not them
selves attacked, it is difficult to understand
legal measures Of redress against Mr.. Healy
for the publication of libel, if, as they as
sert, his charges are unfounded. Mr.. Healy,
on his part, seems resolved to push the attack,
and has forwarded us proofs of letters and
articles intended for publication. AS they are
very long, and merely reitcrate the charges
already made public, we cannot give them
space; but the persistence with which Mr..
Healy challenges the accused sculptors to
enter the arena Of the law, where the truth or
falsehood Of the charges can be proved, looks
as if he were perfectly confident of his po-
sition. Some of the defences put forward
by friends of the accused have been very in
judicious, and we think it would be well for
the honor of American artists that the whole
subject should be thoroughly sifted 1t will
not mend matters to call Mr.. Healy hard
names or impute to him improper motives
The charges he makes are well defined and
capable of proof or disproof If he has done
an injustice to certain American sculptors by
stating to the world that they are charlatans
who put off the work Of Italian modellers and
carvers as their own nothing can be easier
than for these gentlemen to begin suit for
libel and come into court and furnish legal
proof that the works which bear their names
were at least designed and modelled by them.
This much they owe to their own character,
and we are surprised that some of the gentle
men who have loudly denounced Mr. Healy
have not adopted this simple and effective
mode of setting the SANDER. if SANDER it be.

Owing to the presence in this city yesterday
OF many distinguished clergymen, who are IN
attendance upon the Protestant Episcopal
Congress, the pulpits of that denomination
were mostly filed by the bishops OF the
Church and eminent divines from other cities
At the Church of the TRANSPORTATION the sermon
was preached by the Lord Bishop OF Lich-
field. Bishop Selwyn in his discourse spoke
only of the importance of Christian work for
the salvation OF souls. The venerable Bishop
Huntingdon spoke on the Indian question at
Grace church, lnculcating the duty OF all
Christian people to endeavor to save, and not
to STAY the savages Bishop Stevens, of Penn
sylvania, occupied the pulpit of the Church Of
the Heavenly Rest, taking the answer OF
Agrippa to Paul, ''Almost thou persuadest me
to be Christian" as his theme. His discourse
was an earnest appeal to "almost' Christians.
The sermon at Trinity church was by Bishop
Robertson, of Missouri. His theme was the need
and value OF missionary labor in this country.
DR.. De Koven was in the pulpit Of Christ
church, DR.. Whittle, Assistant Bishop of West
Virginia, at the Church of the Holy Trinity;
Bishop Gregg, Of Texas, at the Church OF st.
John the Baptist, and Bishop Whitaker, of
Nevada, at st. James church. Scarcely ever
before in the history of New York did so
many Episcopal bishops speak to the people
in single day from SO many pulpits.
AT the other churches the services were
scarcely less interesting. Father Bjerring
preached at the Russian chapel. DR..
McGynn, Of st. Stephens Roman Catholic
church, in his discourse yesterday, made an
earnest appeal in behalf Of St Joseph's
Seminary, at Troy. The want of priests is
severely felt by the Church, and consequently
the sermon Of DR.. McGlynn is likely to attract
general attention. The sixth anniversary Of
the Cuban revolution was celebrated at the
Church of Santiago, where sermon was
preached by Father Palma, of Havana, in the
course Of Which he rebuked the conduct Of the
priest in Kingston, Jamaica, who tore
the Cuban flag from coffin in his church.
At All Souls Protestant Episcopal church,
Brooklyn, "Union Church Demonstration"
was held under the direction of DR.. Porteous.
Mr.. Beecher preached on Immortality at
Plymouth church, and Mr.. rockingham de-
Ivered one of his characteristic discourses at
Lyric Hail. Though not specially as de-
fence of the recent opinions of Professor
Tyndall it was in fact subtle argument in
the same direction. Aside from Mr.. Froth-
ingham's somewhat heretical declarations the
sermons yesterday were only remarkable for
orthodox doctrine and the incubation Of old
fashioned Christian duty.

beverage, which is an understood Formally in
the well known exhibition. Our people know
very we'll that it is quite possible for men to
take fees as counsel and yet act with down
right honesty in Congress on the political
aspects of the same case I; and they are pre-
pared to believe that virtue enough for such
an adherence to principle has existed in public
life in this country, and may still exist, but
they are not prepared to find it in the
chosen circle of distinguished men whose
relations to Louisiana reconstruction are
simply superadded to their relations to the

There is no knowing just how much a camel

will create a peculiar excitement in national
politics. If MIR. Tilden should carry this
State, if despite fair platform and candi-
date popular and acceptable on all
accounts the republicans should lose
New York, it will be an evidence that the
people are not deceived by the fair appear
ances put on to cover the corruptions of
power in every part of the country and the
unparalleled misgovernment of the Southern
States. States that are under the heel may
pronounce for the democrats and the vote be
lightly esteemed as Of little significance but
if New York, with no such reasons as they
feel, but with normal disgust at robbery
and chicanery, and with a deep mistrust of
the motives of the republican rulers, shall
pronounce against thein it will be ON unim-
pcachable evidence that the face Of the peo-
pie is turned away from the party in power,
and we shall see the politicians preparing to
stand from under the impending ruin. s
IT. however, Dix is elected, though it will
not definitely establish the converse of this in
its general effect on national politics, it will
originate some very enjoyable difficulties in
the Republican National Convention; for
Dix is man Of national reputation, esteemed
and honored as widely as he is known-a man
who has some knowledge Of our system of
government and can comprehend the prin-
ciples on which it is supposed to operate; and
this, we think, the people may eventually re-
quire in Presidents. Such candidate with
his great successes in New York as special
support, will present commanding figure to
the eyes Of delegates assembled to choose
party candidate for President One distin-
guished party man, who is now thought to
own this State, will be little in the compare
son, and even the great project Of third
term may find this candidate the greatest OF
its difficulties. Altogether, such success
would complicate delightfully."- the difficulties
of the wire-pullers and magnates of con-
ventiOns.

SCHLEswIa-A FAIR ARBITRATOR is re-
ported that the idea of referring the Schleswig
difficulty to the arbitration of Queen Victoria
is gaining ground in European diplomatic
circles. One would certainly suppose that the
Queen Of England, whose eldest daughter is
the Crown Princess of Germany, as wife Of the
Crown Prince, and whose favorite daughter
in-law is the beautiful Alexandra of Denmark,
would hold the scales of justice fairly be-
tween the German and the Dane on the
6chlaswio or any other question.

CRITICAL STATE OF THINGS is our latest re-
port from New Orleans. Kellogg appears to
be an intractable marplot. Peace and for
bearance, however, is the only wise course
OF the people of the city and the State suffer-
ing from Kelloggs obnoxious administration;
for surely with the reassembling of Congress
the needful measures for the relief of the State
will be adopted. We cannot believe that
Congress will dare any longer to blink this
uuestion.

The TAMMANY TROUBLES account We
publish elsewhere in to-day's HapAID of the
gossip among the politicians and the troubles
IN the Tammany ranks seems to hold out q
prospect of lively local campaign to offset
the dull insipidty of the State canvass At
present there is much talk of an opposition
to Tammany on the Mayoralty ticket, as we'll
as in most of the Assembly and Aldermanic
districts. The ill feeling against the Tam
many leadership has, it appears, been intensi-
ned by Mr. John Kellys imprudent
announcement of Mr.. Wickham az
my candidate" and efforts are being
made by some to get up peoples
democratic Mayor in opposition to Mr. Kelly's
candidate, and by others to induce q union Of
the republicans and disaffected democrats on
combined ticket. It is possible these efforts
may fail But it seems at least tolerably GER
tam that there will be general democratic
Donnybrook fair in the Assembly districts.
1t is said that the dissatisfied democracy will
have valuable assistance out of the we'll filed
republican official purse; and money will ac-
complish wonders in democratic constituent
cies.

The REV. ADIRoNDAcKs MURRAY has resigned
his pastoral charge in Boston for two very re-
markable reasons. He wanted an assistant
to preach part Of his sermons for him and
bigger and handsomer church; but could not
get them, and consequently he found that his
parson willing to bear so many hardships in
the mountains should wish SO much ease and
luxury at home Muscular clergymen should
not demand such enervating opportunities as
on assistant pastor and new church would
afford. In Mr.. Murrays case it would GER
tainly unfit him for camping out in the woods
