to be discussed during the next twenty years
is the question of the methods Of the two
great churches. Protestant and Catholic.
Widely different in almost every respect,
they cannot fail to excite what we hope will
be fair and impartial criticism when the
controversy begins. The Convention that
was held in New Haven and the Epis-
copal Convention of this city, though
attended by whole galaxy of intel
lectual stars, and though their sessions
fairly corruscated with the scintillations
of generous sympathy and mental acumen,
can never erase from the consciousness of the
American people the feeling that that Church
is, after all, nearer right which does the
heartiest work among all classes of society.
The object of all church organizations is
neither to discuss theological dogmas nor to
show to advantage the brilliant parts of the
minister but to labor steadfastly among the
masses, to produce right motives and right
living. That is the only test of history, and
it is the only basis of judgment for thought
full and truth-loving people.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Owing to the great pressure on our adver-
tising columns, advertisers would favor us by
sending in their advertisements early in the
day. This course will secure proper classif-
cation, helping the public and the HERALD.
Advertisements intended for our Sunday issue
may be sent with great advantage in the earlier
days of the week; it will prevent confusion
and mistakes arising from the immense
quantity Of work to be done on
Saturdays. Advertisements will be re-
ceived daily at this Office the branch Office,
No. 1895 Broadway, between Thirty-frst and
Thirty-second streets, and the Brooklyn
branch Office, corner of Fulton and Boerum
streets, up to nine P. NJ, and at the Harlem
branch Office, 124th street and Third avenue
up to half-past seven P. NJ. Let advertisers
remember that the earlier their advertisements
are in the HERALD Office the better for them
selves and for us.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The clerical delegates to the Protestant
Episcopal Convention are largely distributed
throughout the city and vicinity, and to-day
they viii occupy many of the pulpits of New
York and Brooklyn. Their conventional
committees and societies, taking advantage Of
the gathering of deputies from all parts OF the
country, are promoting their respective inter-
ests by public meetings Their missionary
society is particularly active, and to-day will
get Drs. Garrett, living and others to present
the claims Of missions before several churches
here and in Brooklyn. DR.. Rudder, Of Phil
adelphia, will enforce the missionary idea in
the direction Of the evangelization of the
Jews by discussing the Gentle debt ITO the
Jew. The Prayer Book Society has
monopolized the presence and the
voice of four bishops and couple of
doctors TO advance the interests Of public
meeting in Brooklyn. But besides these
Bishop Lay, of Easton, will show the folly
and ingratitude Of despair as based on the
words of Jobs wife to that patient suffering
patriarch-"curse God and die" Dr. Thomp-
son will also discuss issues that are now
before the Church in the light of truth and
peace, and Dr.. Flagg will have something to
say on modern crime
The Presbyterian pulpit will make itself
heard through DR.. G. s. Robinson, speaking
on halfway piety and negative sin; through
Mr.. Rossiter, describing the progress of faith
in the soul and the manhood of Jesus Christ;
through DIR. Sproul, who will give deliver
ance on dancing and Mr.. Paynter, who will
expound the symbolic meaning of the court
and the brazen altar of Solomons S temple.
The Baptist pulpit will speak through Mr..
Macarthur, who will draw spiritual lessons
from the fading autumn leaves and from
Pauls conversion; through Mr.. Kennard
who will contrast the character of Pharisees
and publicans and will try even family to set
forth what is implied in awaking in Gods
likeness, as it is said His saints will do at the
! last nrent dav. nr. SAmuson viii illustrate

The Pacific Railroad.

The report of the three commissioners on
the Pacific Railroad is wonderfully like the
famous defence in the tub case. First, the
defendant returned the plaintiffs tub not
damaged in the least but in a sound condi-
ton; second, the tub was in bad condition
when defendant borrowed it; and, third, lie
"never had the ID old tub, anyhow" In a
similar vein this committee proceeds to show
that the views Of Secretary Cox's Committee
on the Condition Of the Road were erroneous
that scarcely any Of the things which that
committee required should be done needed to
be done, and that the company has
spent $2,215y976 where the former COM
mittee called for an expenditure of
81, $50, 000 Upon the whole we do not like
this report. 1t has superservicable tone of
friendliness toward the company, which sug-
gests that the makers of the report have be-
come advocates, and if they have become ad-
vocates there can be but one sort of reason
for it. Perhaps the very name OF Pacific
Railroad suggests unpleasant thoughts Of pc
culiar financial relations, when government
olHchiS uaNe uealHpS Will t1lS COTpOratlOn,
and we hope that may be the worst of it.
Great deficiencies were reported by Secretary
Cox's Commission and definite recommenda-
tions were made as to what should be DONE
This committee was appointed to in
quire if these things had been done,
and to report. Upon the affirmative re-
port of this committee will probably
be based official action for the issue to the
company of patents for twelve million acres
of public land. 1t is of great consequence
to the company, therefore, that an affirmative
report should be sent in. One of these three
Commissioners is Mr. John s. Delano, ol
Ohio. and we understand this is the son OF
the Secretary of the Interior. AS the com
mittee is one OF such importance we are sorry
that the Secretary appointed his son mem
ber of it; for, since he thus exposes nea

Tweed's Case.

One more effort in Court to relieve Tweed
of the painful necessity of remaining on an
island he can scarcely admire is on foot. All
the proceedings by which Tweed was placed
where he is were naturally disputed and ques-
toned step by step by his counsel; SO that
their opinions Of any given act will scarcely
be accepted as valid against process whose
results were satisfactory to the public, and a.
yet we have only their view Of the new point.
and from that it would be unsafe to form any
Judgment. But if there were any lapses--
even only technical lapses-in the process, il
the links that justice has forged against
the criminal are defective at any point
we shall surely know it, for thu
strain will no doubt be continual. and tho
well paid activity of counsel will never cease
till the man is freed or his time has run out.
And taking things as they are, in all this case,
it is quite safe to say that if the lawyers do
not get Tweed out Of prison, on one plea OF
another, it will be a most uncommon failure
on their part, or else our criminal authorities
have been greatly misrepresented. If we can
keep that man in prison through his whole
term with "justice' among us such as it IL
represented to be, and in spite Of all the
money that must be in reserve to pay lawyers.
we are. perhaps, the only people equal to
such an achievement
A STRANGE SToRY.-Wealth is sometimes
found in the possession of persons who have
all the appearance of poverty, and this is the
case with Bryant, the old man who for many
years had stand in front Of the old North
Dutch church, and was recently arrested for
buying stolen postage stamps from boys.
Mr.. Bryant now claims that his house has been
robbed since his arrest of one hundred thou
sand dollars and the detectives are looking
tor the money. man who had seventy
thousand dollars in gold, besides greenbacks
and silver, ought to have been above the mean
ness of inducing boys to plunder their en-
ployers of three cent stamps.

though it committed many errors,
stood, in its palmy days, in intel
lectual and moral forces, and in
patriotism, second to no party in
the world. The old Democratic
party, too, in its prime, before it
wrecked itself ON slavery, was filled
with noble and patriotic men. But
the Republican party, although not
free from some faults, and although
young in years, has already his
tory respondent with great deeds.

without a name," to-wit: disband
and destroy our party. They are
simply oppositionists, and nothing
more. What purposes have they if,
this fall, they succeed to scuttle and
sink the gallant Republican ship
into the sea! What are their prin-
ciples! What is their history?
What pledges give they to entitle
them to the trusting confidence of
the people Why do they not re-
mind us of carrion birds tlocking in
the wake of some noble ship, seek
ing the spoils that are tossed from
its bulwarks :!
Republicans, we who have stood
shoulder to shoulder in many fiery
contest ought to defend that ship
to its last good sail and spar. 1t
has borne on its decks nothing less
than this mighty Union and all its
hopes, and it bears them safely still.
Its captains and men in times past
have proved worthy of their charge;
through storm and battle did their
duty WELL It's decks have been the
field of Americas proudest victories,
and to-day still floats yonder its
meteor flag, adorned with the motto,
"Constitution, Liberty, Enforcement
