There were two sentiments pervading the
pulpit yesterday-the hopefulness that comes
with the coming freshness of spring and grave
suggestions to Christian hearts of the gravity
of Lent The many happy indications which
we have noticed as evidences of renewed and
increasing prosperity in all business circles
seemed to inspire our spiritual teachers with
new hopefulness. In the Episcopal and Roman
Catholic churches the observance of Lent was
made the occasion of many admonitions
as to what should be the true Christians duty
in the season of penance and privation.
Father McGlynn, at st. Stephens church,
reminded his flock that now was the accepted
time, and that the opportunity to embrace
salvation should not be lost. illusions were
made to the late Senator Sumner and the les
son of his life. MIR. rockingham spoke of
Sumner as Unitarian by faith and a saint of
humanity. His life showed him to be hero,
but Mr.. rockingham claimed him as
saint on account of his jealous labors to secure
the emancipation of the slaves Rev. DIR.
Chaplin dwelt with Characteristic eloquence
upon what had been done by Sumner to en-
shrine his memory in the hearts of the colored
people of America. Rey. DIR. Fulton summed
up Summers life as one that would be fruitful
to the ages.
The Rev. DR.. Porteous, the new sensation
of Brooklyn, will be better understood when
the elaborate report is read of his sermon yes
terday. The interest felt in this clergyman
arises from the demonstrations against him by
the Episcopal bishops We can understand
from this discourse why DR.. Porteous should
be popular, if not an effective, preacher
He reminds us of tinted summer cloud which
sails over the ecclesiastical heavens to
float and die away with the descend
ing sun. He has rhetorical color, freedom
in expression, but monotony of thought re-
minding us of Upper or the Country Parson.
We follow his rhetoric closely and it makes on
us the impression of fireworks. 1t is pleasant
enough, but thire is nothing we can grasp,
nothing we can remember. His discourse
yesterday was on the "Pentecost' hazy
subject at the best, and not apt to satisfy
hungry minds. A great advantage about
theme Of this kind ia that clergvman

REVIVAL OF THE DICK TURPN ERA.-The
account we published yesterday OF the daring
highway robbery in the suburbs of Cincin-
natl reads SO much like the stories of Dick
Turpin and other notorious highwaymen of
England in old times, that we can hardly
realize it is an actual occurrence in this age
of advanced civilization. Our Bowery thea
tres could not give a more faithful resem-
blance. Only these modern footpads lack the
heroism of their ancient prototypes, and show
a more brutal nature. Mr.. Bepler, the gentle
man who was robbed and seriously shot by
the scoundrels, exhibited great courage in
resisting them though he had not much val
liable property about his person. We sup
pose he was beyond the limits of the city po-
lce but if the police of Cincinnati are not
more efficient than ours sometimes the out
rage might have occurred within their pre-
cincts. Had Mr. Bepler been armed he might
have punished the highwaymen and escaped
unhurt. With such savages in the midst of
civilized society, people should be prepared to
defend themselves. Let us hope the villains
will be captured and an example made in
their case by the severest punishment that
can be inflicted.

The Massac usetts Sena tOrship.

| The division existing in the republican
party in Massachusetts promises to make the
contest tor the vacant Senatorship extremely
interesting and exciting. Although the dem
ocrats are in a hopeless minority combina-
ton for the election of Judge Curtis, the dem
ocratic candidate, is considered among the
probabilities. The strife between the admin
istration republicans and the mass Of the
party is so bitter that there appears little hope
that any accommodation can be effected be-
tween them. So far they have found it i'm
possible to agree upon a candidate, and the
difficulty is increased by the scarcely con-
cealed patronage of Mr.. Dawes by General
Butler. The apparent understanding between
the two men has alarmed the republicans who
served by being placed in the hands of the
supporters of the administration. The mere
suspicion that Mr.. Dawes has gone
over to the Butterflies has damaged
him so much in the estimation of many of
his old time friends that they will not venture
to support him. Nor are the chances of the
aristocratic element any better, and the pro-
posed union of parties for the election of
Charles F. Adams may be looked on as ex-
ploded. Men admire Mr.. Adams very much,
but he is too superior being to be brought
into contact with the degrading and corrupt
ing influence of politics. He is, therefore,
very likely to be left on his virtuous pedestal,
while rougher spirits, whose delicacy is not
easily shocked, will be sent into the politi-
cal arena to fight the battles of their con-
sttuents. This is the sad result of too much
responsibility. If Mr.. Adams were not
placed on SO high pinnacle Of virtue he
might be more useful to his fellow citizens
As it is, the contest is likely to remain between
MIR. Curtis and MIR. Dawes, unless some man
comes up unexpectedly upon whom the whole
republican vote can be concentrated. But
ler's encouragement of Dawes is regarded with
suspicion by many as q move intended only
to deceive. The democratic candidate and
the Essex statesman are old and fast friends,
and there is o rumor in circulation that at the
last moment the Butterflies will unite with the
democrats to secure Judge Curtis election as
Senator. 1t is not likely, however, that even
General Butler would attempt openly to sacri-
fee the interests Of his party to personal
feeling.

THE INDIANS The border is still threat
ened with an Indian war The red man is
hungry and must get beef, or he will take it,
So far the temper OF the noble savage seems to
be daily growing more insolent Suspicious
are entertained that some of the tribes have
been cheating the government by drawing
more rations than they are entitled to. This
is the natural effect of allowing Indians to
visit Washington. AS soon as they touch the
capital they get corrupted.

Life Really Worth something-Stcam
Lanes Across the Atlantic.

Lanes Across the Atlantic.
1t will be seen from our news columns this
morning that an initial step has been taken
in the British House of Commons in the mat
ter of ocean routes for the Atlantic steam
ships. Mr.. Anderson, one of the members
for Glasgow gave notice on Saturday that he
would on Monday ask the government whether
it was willing to cooperate with the govern
ment of the United States in fixing tracks for
vessels crossing the Atlantic between the two
countries. This is o step in the right di-
rection, and we earnestly hope that the matter
will be heartily taken up by both governments.
Navigation has been reduced to such an
exact science that ocean highways can be &C
curately marked, and, under favorable condi-
tons, almost unerringly followed. Steam rem
ders the heaviest seas and most destructive
gales powerless to defect the passenger craft
of to-day from an undertaking track if
specified course be adopted by the navigator.
We are glad to see, therefore, that the appall-
ing disasters which have occurred during the
past year on the North Atlantic have induced
several of the companies to lay down lines TO
be pursued by their steamships. This idea,
long urged by US, was first acted upon by the
Cunard line, the management of which is al
ways judiciously eager to guard the safety Of
the lives submitted to its care. Its example
was we'll followed by the Inman line
We observe that the Inman line an
nounces that its course, as laid down and
already followed for several years. passes two
hundred and fifty miles to the southwark Of
Cape Race, claiming "much greater freedom
from fogs and floating ice and the danger Of
navigation consequent thereon" while the
French line between New York and
Havre announces the most southeriy
course of all. The Cunard steamers going
out do not pass to northward of the latitude of
forty-two, and returning to New York keep
south of forty-three. These different courses
are admirably laid down, and they should be
furnished to every sailing vessel doing trade
on the North Atlantic, and charts having these
steam lanes boldly defined should be gra-
tuitously distributed II it be understood in
the commercial world that certain highways
belong to the passenger vessels and should be
kept clear in the interests of human life, we
think that they would not be trespassed upon.
In the interests of international communica-
ton the governments Of England Germany,
France and the United States may some day
be brought to agree upon general treaty by
which each nation shall require Of the ships
that carry its flag that they respect these
limits SO far as in any way possible. This
would be great practical step.

Fizzle of the Street Cleaning Investi-
cation.


CATION.
The mountain after much labor has brought
forth mouse. The committee of the Legis-
lature which has been investigating the sub
ject of street cleaning in this city and the
working of the Street Cleaning Bureau gives
up in despair. It has examined number Of
know nothings, and, consequently, cannot find
out anything 1t might be inferred from this
abortive investigation that every man in New
York has pecuniary interest in street clean
ing jobs Yet there must be great many
intelligent citizens who could give useful and
practical information, and who are interested
in no other way than to have the city kept
clean. We do not believe there is as much
difficulty about this matter as has been pre-
tended. Politicians in power and others who
want to make rich jobs out of street cleaning
have darkened the subject and bewildered the
committee. Will not some philosophical
citizens devise plan and give the Legisla-
ture the light it needs? Mr.. Eastman said it
was the desire of the committee to help the
people Of New York out of their difficulty,
but, so far as he was concerned, he knew but
little more than when the investigation COM
menced. Will not some one give him the
necessary informationl

The ERIE LABonERs' STRIKE. Some appre-
tensions are entertained that the railroad
laborers on strike in Jersey City may commit
a breach of the peace. Ample precau-
tons have been taken by the military
and civil authorities to suppress any
rioting, but we hope the men on
strike have too much good sense to
render it necessary to use force for the
preservation of the peace. In connection
with the dispute between the laborers and the
company report comes from Binghamton
of an attempt to throw the eastern bound
express of the track. No clew has yet
been found to the perpetrators of this cow
ardlv outrage.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN MExIco.-Tolera-
ton, political or religious, is scarcely to be
looked for in country like Mexico, inhabited
by mongrel race, for the most part stepped
in ignorance. The news of an attack on a
Protestant place of worship and the stoning
of the minister can scarcely be regarded
with surprise Though the mob went no
further than breaking some windows and
pelting the minister with stones it is an ugly
indication of religious intolerance. Fortu-
nately the number Of unbelievers in Mexico is
very small, and they are generally in such
situations that they can be protected by the
government troops
