was without reproach, and to my knowledge
no charge was ever brought against his
character by any man at any time. Another
point. Not only was he man of clear and
distinct thoughts, but he was capable of pre-
ssnting his views with power and eloquence.
He was talented preacher. He under
stood the christian doctrines, he was
thoroughly versed in the Bible. Passing
from these details wish now to offer a few
GENERAL REMARKS
on the passage OF scripture before us. One
great point is gained in the Incarnation
of the Word. 1t made clear that which be-
fore was vague and misty. In Christ, life
and immortality are brought to light. Also,
the elevation of humanity in the new rela-
ton OF man to God In Christ isan important
point. In the old Testament man is a SER
want, In the new he is son. The resurrec-
ton from the dead was also made certain in
the revelation OF Christ. Notice also the
expression: I'm the Lord. !" which implies a
more exalted relation. / can say to these
our friend died in the Lord,
and from henceforth he is blessed.
This is the privilege of all who stand ia this
relation as our friend did. There is also
precious promise, s'Their works follow
them" 1t has been said that our dear friend
was stricken down in the midst of his life
work; but what he did shall not be lost.
What comfort il is when we part with
those we love that their deeds of good shall
not perish with them. Paul was ready 60

him, and so did orr brother. To the last
moment of life he retained
that hope. The speaker then enlarged upon

The Religious Press ON Summer.

The life and death of Mr.. Sumner claim
the attention more or less of the religious
press this week. The Christian Union thinks
that in his death the nation has lost a states
man of type in which he had no peer. 1t
compares him to Moses, and says that he,
like the Hebrew prophet, was raised up by
Providence to lead his nation out of the
"house of bondage" into the promised land
of freedom. Not once during the last twenty
five years did he falter nor was he diverted from
his purpose; not once did he fail to speak the
word for the hour. He was the pillar of cloud
by day and of fire by night to the oppressed
millions of the land, and the negro race will
deplore in him the loss of their mightiest and
most faithful champion. The Union admits
that Mr. Sumner was not perfect He had
some faults, few of which the editor points
out but regrets that such life was thus cut
short He rejoices, however, that Mr.. Sum-
ner lived long enough to make his name illus
trious in his countrys annals and to leave
behind him an example the power of which
will be felt for generations to come. The
Union approves of Mr.. Cox's bill in Congress
for an art council, to be composed Of artists,
and not of politicians. And between these
two topics it has sandwiched an article on
Goods Personal Revelation.
The Independent thinks that in the cheaper
sense of the word statesman we have had a
great many men superior to Charles Sumner.
He was called to the Senate through no in
trigue of his From the day that he was
chosen to represent his State in the national
legislature till the day of his death no
grander figure than that of Charles Sumner
has adorned the halls of Congress. Thur
low Weed, it admits, was O great politician
far greater than Charles Sumner-but he will
leave nothing behind him to go into that per-
manent history which shall never cease to re-
cord Summers as central name of fame in
the story of the regeneration of America. In
him the nations wards have lost their truest
and ablest friend and justice its stoutest
champion.
The Observer contents itself with an ordi-
nary biographical notice of Mr.. Sumner and
brief reference to his funeral and few briefer
comments. 1t indirectly, however, applauds
the deceased statesman for living and dying

into q mans house without authority.
He may break the mans head 4
the spirit move him; or, if a nervous man. he
may shoot the unfortunate occupant If
only he imagines he is justified, and
the Police Commissioners will see NO
reason why the public should create
a fuss about SO trifing q matter McNamara
was shot because he objected to band Of
men bursting into his house in the middle
OF the night; but it might have
been Dutch Harmon who was resisting, and,
as the policeman fred for the good of the
community, neither McNamara nor his
widow nor the public have any right to
complain. Such, at least, is the logic of the
police authorities but do these persons
really imagine that this community will
suffer patiently such outrages to continuef
There does appear to be an idea enter
tained by Police Commissioners, Captains
and other small fry that they can set public
opinion at defiance and club down all op-
position to their measures and decrees
Within the past few days we have
had monstrous and shameful exam
pie of the extent to which contempt for
decency and public opinion may be carried
by an official of corrupt and rotten system.
Every honest man in this city sympathizes
with the efforts being made by the Board
of Education 10 protect the school children
from contamination yet two captains Of po-
lice had the temerity and insolence to come
forward and publicly put themselves on REQ
ord as the protectors of houses Of ill-fame.
Such defiance of public opinion must re-
ceive prompt and condign punishment. The
police have made themselves obnoxious
as the friends and associates of po-
litical thieves, and It only required
this last step to fill the measure OF their dis
Grace The friends Of thieves are bad enough;
but this city sannot be left under the care Of
men who are not ashamed to exhibit them
selves as the protectors Of houses of prostitu-

The Rapid TransS> """"'

The indignation Of Mr. Lincoln, :" 'ne Az
sembly Railroad Committee, and last Iear d
member OF the Erie Investigation Committee
has failed to impress upon the people OF New
York the propriety of giving rapid transit
franchises to the Third Avenue City Railroad
corporation and Commodore Vanderbilt, one
for steam railroad from the City Hall to
Harlem on the line of Third avenue, and
another for steam railroad from the
City Hall to Harlem on the line Of
Fourth avenue Indeed, Mr.. Lincolns
indignation has strengthened the con-
viction that one or both propositions must
be fraud on the people, so far as rapid
transit accommodation is concerned, however
profitable they may prove to the Legislators
who vote for them. With the Third and
Fourth avenues thus occupied, the dead Gill
bert project galvanized, the Beach Pneumatic
Tube underground humbug legalized and one
or two other paying jobs slipped through,
every avenue will be ''plastered' with fran
chses, rapid transit will be effectually killed,
the city railroad and the Harlem road corpo.
rations will remain undisturbed in the enjoy
nent of their large profits and Mr.. Lincoln
and his friends will be happy. This is the
lesson taught by Mr. Lincoln's indignant
virtue.

The Probable Murderer.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 2l-Midnight.
Additional but still meagre information has been
received from the scene OF the Centrevs
butchery. Tue name Of the murdered family
is StelZenrede, not "Stiltzeneiter," as pre-
viously reported. At the inquest this alter
noon held by Coroner Ryan, OF East st. Louis,
several witnesses were examined and facts elected
which led to the belief that Frederick Boetz hus-
band OF a sister OF Mrs. Stezenriede committed
the horrible deed. He was present, but refused 70
testify until iorced and then his answers and gen.
eral conduct were such as to excite the strongest
suspicion OF his guilt.
lie acknowledged that he had been on bad terms
with the murdered family some months, enter
tanned feelings OF enmity toward them and was in the
old mans debt several hundred dollars. These and
other facts broughC out together with another fact,
that the house was not ransacked and ptllaged, al
previously stated, and that the old mans mOnev
was found, established beyond doubt that the
murder was not committed Tor plumber. and tend
more strongly to fasten suspicion upon BOeltz.
When our informant lett the scene the inquest was
still in progress ana 1t was probable that B0eltz
would be committed.

Mr.. DIsRAELI AND THE FENIANs. 1t would
seem from our news this morning that the
British Premier does not bid for the Irish
vote, and that tho home rule men and the
Fenians have little to expect at his hands.
lie has positively refused to receive a delega-
ton whose object was to solicit his inter-
ference in the matter of the Fenian convicts.
This will certainly deprive him of the home
rule vote, and the presumption is that it viii
greatly strengthen Mr. Gladstones opposition.
1t Is not the first time that the Irish members
have held the balance of power in the House.
II they remain united they may yet obtain
more than either Mr. Gladstone or MIR. Dis
raeli is willing at present to concede.

By a sort Of mutual consent, as well as bv
request of the lady temperance crusaders, the
topic of temperance, or the vice of intemper-
ance, will receive special attention in very
many of the churches of this city to-day.
The Rev. Mr.. Underwood will talk about
''Drunkards and Drunkard Makers" and, we
suppose, will tell us how to treat both classes.
If intemperance is disease as the doctors
say, and should be treated as such, what SHALL
we call that which produces the disease, and
how shall we treat those who vend it? Mr..
Underwood will doubtless tell us. But if he
should not we may obtain this knowledge
through the Rev. Mr. Barnhart, who not only
conducts q temperance meeting in his church
in the afternoon, but breaches on the general
subject in the evening. And should those
two ministers fail to give us some practical
thoughts on the great theme we may gain
some light and inspiration at the meeting in Dr.
Deems Church of the Strangers in the after
noon, or from the address of the Rev. ]. Spen-
Ger Kennard before the Lodge of Good Tenn
plars. The presence of members of the
practical opponents of temperance principles
ought to inspire man to say good things and
true on this topic And, akin to this, ''The
Minister'S Temperance Resolutions" adopted
lately at the Association Hall meeting, will re-
ceive some attention from the Rev. Mr.. Boole.
who has organized and led the crusaders on
the east side up to this time. The resolu-
tons referred to tasted too strongly of whiskev
and water to suit the Methodist ministers. and
last week they unanimously reaffirmed their
belief in total abstinence as the only temper
ance doctrine. We may expect, therefore,
that Mr.. Boole will not touch the ministers or
their resolutions with kid gloves, but, with the
assurance of the position of his brethren on
this question, will open his theological bat
teries on both.
But another portion of our local pastors,
realizing that, like the poor, this question will
be always with them, and they can discuss it
whenever they please, have turned their medi-
tations towards Charles Sumner, from whose
life the Rev. Mr.. Sweetser will draw an inn
portant lesson on Loyalty to Truth" and
DIR. Fulton will tell us what ''The Great Les
son of His Life is. The Doctor will vary
his meditations too, by telling his people
how and what it means to be Complete in
Christ"
Then there are another few Of our preach
ers who will talk on topics more or less theo-
logical. practical or Utopiap, The Rev. Mr..

A Remarkable Combination In Italian
Opera.

Opera.
Mr.. Strakosch yesterday effected an engage e.
ment with Nine. Pauline Lucca, the renowned
prima DONNA for a season Of thirty-six repre-
sensations, extending over period of three
months. BY securing this additional feature
to his excellent company the entorprsing
impresario will be enabled to present any
opera with the strongest cast imaginable. A
company which contains two such surprising
artists as Nilsson and Lucca cannot fail to
gain the heartiest encouragement and support
Of the American public. We have constantly
urged the ACCESSIBILITY of grand ensemble in
Italian opera, such as may be found in Lon
don, Paris and st. Petersburg Mr.. Strakosch
has accomplished this desirable object, and it
may be reasonably expected that the close of
his season in this city will be more brilliant
than its commencement The season has
been very interesting in the production of the
greatest works in the lyric repertoire and
in the iberality Of management which
characterized each performance. Seldom
has Meyerbeer's masterwork, "The HUI
SuoAo'o, OcSA gwen VI any SCaSe WIFI
the completeness and excellence in every de-
tail that marked its representation by the
present troupe. The scenic splendor and
grand musical features of "Aida" have re-
ceived unstinted praise from every one who
appreciates art The manager, in fulfilm emit
OF the promises Of his prospectus, proposes to
supplement the triumphs of his company in
the operas we have just mentioned by he
performance of Richard Wagner's colossal
opera, 'Lohengrin." 1t will be given for the
first time in Italian form tomorrow evening.
1t is such rare thing to find an impresario
who carries out to the letter the abundant
promises of his prospectus that we can only
characterize the present season as one of un-
usual brilliancy. But in the engagement of
Nine. Lucca Mr.. Strakosch has made bold
move for the attainment of perfection in the
representation Of an opera. She will appear
on April in one Of her best r6les-Leonora,
in ''La Favorita, with Campanini as Fer
nando. 1t is probable that some combination
performances will be given, with Nilsson and
Lucca in the same opera. Enterprise of this
kind will be sure to be appreciated at its full
value by the metropolitan public.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1874-03-22

Rip Van Wrinkle, when he woke up from
his long sleep, was astonished to find that
everything about him was changed, and that
even George the Third had disappeared
from the tavern sign. Could some sue
cessor to the famous sleeper who was
acquainted with the abuses of the
New York police system twenty years
ago suddenly wake up he would
find little to surprise him. Familiar names
would fall upon his ear, and the images of Mat
sell and Havemeyer might induce him to be-
Geve that nothing had been changed
during his slumber. This would be the
more remarkable that, while everything else
had moved on and progressed, alone the police
system of New York remains in its old demor-
allied and rotten state-something to bring
the blush of shame to the cheek of every
honest citizen. We have men uniformed,
armed and supported at the expense of the
city, but no police force in the sense in which
the term is used in civilized communities.
The Matsells, Gardeners and Williamses,
who control the men paid to protect
life and property in our streets resemble rather
the pacha of some Eastern despot than the
law-abiding and law-obeying officials of free
and civilized community. These men rule
over the lives and properties of the citizens
with irresponsible power. Under the pre-
tended sanction of the law they enforce their
own good will in defiance of the con-
stitutional rights of the citizens, and
-, Co. he or
injustice and violence they may commit
1t is not too much to say that the citizens of
New York, under existing circumstances,
are as much at the mercy Of their
police masters as are the natives of Cairo
at the mercy of an Egyptian pacha So great
is the decentralization in the force that the
police are really more dangerous to the
peaceable and honest citizens than
they are to thieves and murderers. From
time to time, under the Rip Van Wrinkle guild
ance of Matsell, they make theatrical
discoveries of imaginary conspiracies,
which end in humbuggery, in order
to cover up the stupidity and incompetence
of the department. The violation of
the sanctity of the domicile is but
another step in advance, another proof
of the utter disregard of the rights
of the citizens; and hence we
have honest workingmen shot down in their
homes or dubbed SO brutally that their lives
are endangered because they dare to imagine
that they have some rights which the men
they pay and support to protect them are
bound to respect. 1t is evident from what
Commissioner Gardner and General Duryee
stated to our reporter that even they
look upon the constitutional rights OF
q citizen as merely enjoyed on poiice
sufferance, and that every police ofi1cer
is justified in breaking the Law, provided ms
intention be good. Nothing is sacred ou' the
will of thS policeman. He may nreak
