Before tho Battle.

The excitement runs high, and oil interests
are subordinate to the one interest which will
be decided tomorrow. There is something
beautiful in this spectacle of a free people
executing the freeman's will as lightning
does the will of God," and in this aspect OF
the case an election has moral aspects of the
most instructive character. Tomorrow the
issues to be decided ara Of more than usual
gravity. The democracy are fighting for the
control of the State, and if they win they will
probably win the next Presidency. This
makes it the most important political event
that has taken place since the election Of Lin
coln Mr.. Tilden has shown unusual dexter
ity and strength, and he fights not merely for
the Governorship but for what may be called
the supreme honors of 1876. Against him is
General Dix, the long years of whose illus
trious and useful life plead for his triumph.
It will be hard to defeat Dix, and very hard
not to elect Tilden.
In the city Mr.. Kelly fights for the control
Of Tammany. Had that gentleman been wise
and taken the HERALD's advice he could have
had an unchallenged triumph But he is
successful or not, will cripple his usefulness
as the leader of his party. This comes from
his folly in not nominating man like Will
lam Butler Duncan for Mayor, and in nomi-
mating Mr.. Hayes for Register to crafty Mr..
Morrissey. Mr.. Wickham will probably be
elected, and as matters now look Mr.. Hayes
will be defeated. Since the canvass began
Mr.. Hayes has grown weaker and weaker,
until it was believed he would be withdrawn.
MI. Morrissey is not q withdrawing man,
however, and will keep his man ''at the
scratch" On the contrary, General Jonee, his
opponent, has been growing in favor from hour
to hour. His record as soldier and as civil
ian-the fact that he was the protfge Of Mr..
Greeley--have won him golden opinions and
hosts of friends. Every Lrshman remembers
his generous magnanimity to the widow and
children of the lamented and brilliant 'Miles
OReilly," and the consequence is that all
the tides of public opinion rush furiously
toward him. Furthermore, the defeat of Mr..
Hayes will be the defeat of Mr.. Morrissey-a
result that naturally would crafty no man
more than Mr.. Kelly, who is said to be rest
less under the yoke of the resolute gladiator.

The Poor OF tho City.

The delicious weather Of what we presume
was the mysterious Indian summer was fol-
lowed by cold. rude winds, and now comes
bleak November, with its withered leaves and
ashen skies. To the busy, bright, successful
world the coming of winter means only Q
change Of enjoyments-the theatre, the opera,
social parties, sleighing on the avenues,
skating at the Park, and the festivals Of
Christmas and the New Year; but to many
thousands in this city it means absolute, alb
ject misery. It means hunger and cold, fire.
less hearths and rents unpaid, men without
work and families without food. The summer
is Gods great charity to the poor, but in the
winter the heavens themselves seem to be
barred against them.
and begin her duty. The suffering this year
is likely to be as great as it was last year, and,
as we have pointed out in previous articles, the
organized charities of the city are not capable
OF relieving it. They provide costly machinery
for the purpose, and those who use them as in
story of the man who contributed cent to
the heathen and dollar to pay the expense
of sending it to its destination. Many of
these charitable institutions consume seventy
per cent of the money they receive in paying
the salaries of their officers, and some, there is
too much reason to fear. are mere speculations
for the benefit Of their managers. Instead Of
this machinery for doing little good at o
great expense, we want methods of relief
which shall directly reach the suffering poor.
We want charities like the St Johns Guild,
the Floating Hospital, the river excursions for
mothers and their children, which last sum-
mer we're conducted by gentlemen who de-
clined salaries and gave their time and labor
for nothing. Last winter immeasurable good
was done IN this way by the voluntary Co
operation of citizens, and now we should
profit by the experience and improve, if pos
sible, upon the tried methods. We suggest
again to our business men the importance of
organizing an early movement tor the relief
of the poor of New York, and such leading
citizens as Peter Cooper, Commodore Wander
bilt, A. T. Stewart, August Belmont William
B. Astor, S. B. Chittenden, William Butler
Duncan, William E. Dodge and scores of
others whom we might name could not fail
to make it o complete success. Protection to
society can only be found in adequate meas
ures for ameliorating that despairing poverty
which is often the parent of defiant crime.
Pity pleads eloquently for the poor, but those
who are deaf to that appeal may be moved to
action by the harsher warnings of prudence.

ILLEGAL STEAMBOAT RAc1Ne.-A race be-
tween the steamboats, Shady Side and Sylvan
Dell, from New York to Albany, for
five thousand dollars is proposed, and
it might be an act of kindness to
allow it. Tho races between these boats on
the East River occur daily and are dan
gerous and disgraceful. Possibly if this
ridiculous spirit Of rivalry had full expression
the owners and captains of the boats might be
satisfied, and if q race to Albany failed to de-
eide the question they might start for Homo
lulu. AT present they are not used for their
legitimate purposcs-the comfort, convenience
and safety OF the public.

Tn. "Maies o'nsiily cs.vass.~

1t is pleasant to see an unusually severe and
acrid canvass illuminated by the ray Of senti-
ment and kindliness of feeling which sur
rounds the candidacy of General Patrick IL
Jones for Register. This is an Office of emol-
uments. One of the candidates is professed
politician, already a rich man, who does not
need the Office. The other is q gallant Irish
soldier to whom the fees would be an income
for the remainder of his life. His relation to
the family of the lamented and gifted "Miles
O'Reilly," an Irishman of genius whose un-
timely death every Irishman mourns, has
summoned to his banner our Irish fellow citi-
zens without distinction of party. It Is not
politics with them, nor any dislike Of Mr..
Hayes, nor any feeling Of mutiny toward Mr..
Kelly and Tammany Hall. It is simply the
generous glow of appreciation which every
true man feels toward another who has
adorned his life by an act of conspicuous
kindness and magnanimity. Such thing
as this is rarely seen in the sordid
and selfish struggle of modern politics, and
we dwell upon it as poetic and winning
feature Of the canvass. No event could be
more gratifying to oil classes than the tri-
umphant election of General Jones. In the
fortunes Of no candidate do we see so wide
spread and generous an interest From every
side we hear of men OF all parties, without
distinction of party, proposing to vote for
him. If Tammany leaders were wise they
would recognize and respect this feeling by
Withdrawing Mr.. Hayes and permitting the
election OF General Jones unanimously.
There is no political issue at stake in the
Office, and if Mr.. Morrissey and Mr.. Kelly
had the true genius OF political management
they would yield to this sentiment and sup
port General Jones. Mr.. Hayes could do no
more popular act than to take this course and
postpone his own claims for promotion. he
would establish claim upon his own party
that he does not now possess, and by rivalling
General Jones in magnanimity hope at some
future time to rival him in popularity.

The Pulpit Yesterday.

architecture in this city and in Brooklyn is in
the highest degree commendable 1t has
adorned the metropolis with many noble and
picturesque edifces, and though some Of them
may be bizarre and may violate oil the estab-
lished rules, that can be pardoned when we
remember that the builders know more of re-
ligion than art. But because the Saviour was
born in q manger is no reason why he should
be worshipped in barn, and our splendid
temples embody in stone the piety of the age.
just as the paintings of Raphael and Murillo,
pale Madonnas, glorifed ascensions and rapt
martyrs, expressed the Christian faith of the
Italy and Spain Of their time.
Yet it ought to be always present to our
minds that the temple is but dead stone un-
less the spirit Of religion dwells within it.
There is nothing SO chilly and mocking as an
altar upon which the sacred fire has ceased to
burn. We recall 'the warning cry of
George Fox, which Walt Whitman quotes with
great effect in his latest poem:-"Is it this
pile Of brick and mortar-these dead floors,
windows, ails--you call the Church Why
this is not the Church at all ; the Church is
living, ever living souls. !" It is cheering to
find in the sermons which we publish to-day
SO many evidences of deep appreciation of
this truth Thus it was referred to by the
Rev. Dr.. McGlynn when in allusion to the fair
now being held at st. Stephens he told
the congregation that now they had
the opportunity of doing Gods work,
by realizing 1.-the beauty of worship as ex-
pressed in the material temple" Bishop
Courtenay, of Kingston, JAM, also touched
the subject in his sermon upon the mystical
union of Christ and His Church. So with the
Rev. Chauncey Giles in his observation upon
the effect of sin upon the spiritual and ma
terial body. The Rev. Mr. Beecher also
dwelt upon the need of preserving faith
amid form, and said that eff there were not
saints here and there the Church would be-
come an intolerable nuisance" Although the
other eminent divines who filled the metro
politan pulpits yesterday did not directly treat
of this truth, yet it must be the basis of oil
sincere religious teachings. We therefore
commend to the attention of the public the
sermons Of Bishop Coke, Rev. DR.. w. R.
Alger, of Boston, the Rev. Mr. Ganse, and
others which are elsewhere presented.

yond the probable fact that republican arro-
gance and recklessness will be abated by o
formidable democratic opposition.
1t may indeed be said that in this State the
democratic party presented a distinct body Of
political doctrine. But on the currency ques-
ton it agreed with the Eastern republicans
and differed from great portion Of The West
ern democrats, and to free trade the party in
this State only pays the homage of an empty
lip service. majority Of the democratic
journals of the State evince no zeal for free
trade, and in this city Mr.. Hewitt, an IRON
master and protectionist, is q prominent
democratic candidate for Congress That
the Syracuse platform means little is
proved by tho impracticable vagueness of its
propositions. They never could have been
adopted had they been made explicit. Sup
pose for example, that the free trade or rev.
enue reform declaration had taken this
shape-" Heavy duties on coffee and tea as
substitute for the existing duties on iron. "
No man of intelligence believes that such a
declaration could have been adopted; but this
is the sense in which the drawer of the plat
form understands free trade. The currency
declaration is equally vague. Had it run in
this form-"Withdraw and fund hundred
millions of greenbacks to approximate the
currency to part could not have been
adopted; but no man competent to form an
opinion on the subject believes that our cur
rency can be made equal to gold without con-
traction. Even the Western infationists. ever

IssPEDIwENTs TO I,I,TEGRATIoN.

The South IS pleading for inmi-
grants. She shows what immense tracts
Of lands she has unsettled, points to the
richness Of her soils, proves the boun-
teousness of her mineral resources, al
ludes to her advantages for manufac-
turing, sends commissions 70 Europe to
induce the tide to set her way. But
thus far these efforts have been attend
ed with rather poor success. The Phil
adelphia Aye volunteers an explanation
Of this partial failure: First. the bulk
of our immigration comes from North
ern Europe, and settlers most usually
keep within the lines of their native lat
itudes; second, immigrants are afraid
Of the South, because they ina
CINE it in an unsettled condi-
ton; and third and least, they, the Ia
boring portion, do not wish to come In
competition with the negroes, ex-slaves.
If the South can cure immigrants of
habit common to all emigrants, and
convince them Of the falsity Of their
notions in respect to the condition of
the country, and sheir having to COM
pete with African labor, she may ex-
pect multitudes, for she has many ad-
vantages, and countless seductives for
immigrants" And yet notwithstlnd-
ing this prejudice against color, there
are men in Congress who are seeking
to infict further injury upon e. the
South by forcing mixed schools upon
us. These men would delight in see
ing the South reduced to irretrievable
ruin.
