The Sermons Of Yesterday.

The sermons which were delivered in our
churches yesterday and ars transferred to our
pages to-day deal with many of the principal
phases of Christian life with much power and
intelligence That nothing can be done with
out Christ; that as we make our bed we must
lie in it; that faith is necessary to victory;
that conversion is the chief end of man; that
God has prescribed the course of every man;
that Christianity is not theoretical, but life
and a process; that religion is not a mere
training of certain faculties toward God.
but yielding of the whole being to
His will-these are some of the truths set
forth. The Rev. Dr. Deems, Rev. John w.
Jackson, Rev. George ID. Matthews, Rev.
Richard Fuller Rev. DIR. Porteous, Rev. DR..
Cornell, and Rev. J. Robert Love, Of Georgia
"a colored clergyman, who preached in the
Church of the Transfguration), were some of
the eminent divines who treated of these inn
portant subjects, too often neglected for tina
trihes Of q transitory life. Plymouth church
was reopened after three weeks painting and
cleaning, entirely distinct from that done by
the committee, but only brief allusion
was made to Mr.. Beecher by DR.. Robinson in
his sermon upon the power Of faith. At the
Seventeenth street Methodist Episcopal
church the Rev. w. H. Boole treated of tho
question 'Whether religion is lost because ita
professors fail?"
There was small congregation OF what is
called the "Church Of the Scandal" at Jer-
sey City. Rev. DR.. Wiggins preached upon
the spreading Of the Gospel, and his words
had pointed application to the case Of the
Rev. Mr. Glendenning. But the memory Of
poor Mary Pomeroy must have been even
more effective in the minds of her friends
who were present. The Prospect avenue
church has met with severe blow in the re-
cent calamity, but it is to be fervently hoped
that it is not true that the Rev. MIR. Glenden-
ming has shaken the faith of many members
in the truth Of Christianity itself

Ell Dorado in the Black Hills.

Ell Dorado has often been sought and some
times found, and the tar West is undoubt-
edly the place to look for it. Now in the
Black Hills a region has been discovered
which is probably as rich in mineral wealth as
California, and will become another promised
land for the gold hunters. The evidence that
the Black Hills and Sne surrounding country
are filled with the precious metals does
not rest upon the assertions of land specula-
tors, who wish to encourage emigration, but
upon the official report of General Custer,
which we printed yesterday. The General
found no hostile Indians, but he
found gold in small but paying guam
titles in the water courses, and
indications that it exists in large
quantities in the hills. Iron, silver,
plumbago and gypsum were also dis
covered. There is likely, therefore, to be o
rush Of enterprising spirits to tlSe new gold
fields. and this is likely to result IN speedy
The New York herald., 1874-08-24

and permanent settlement of the region. a.
General Custer says that no portion of the
United States has richer pasturags
or purer water. and that the build
ing stone is inexhaustible, with plenty
of wood for centuries. The country is well
adapted for agricultural uses, and gram,
especially wheat, can be largely produced.
These advantages will be ultimately even
more important than the immense stores
of mineral wealth. Taken as rule, next to .
custom house, Ell Dorado is most often found
in well conducted farm.

perior piety, surely it is ours Moreover,
both the federal and State governments could
join hands in promoting and perfecting the
existing institutions of higher learning, as
well as in preventing inferior institutions from
disgracing the name of college or university
Let the federal authorities be liberal in
facilitating the introduction of books and sci
entiic materials by the establishment pre-
vously authorized by their respective States
to do so, and by these alone. And let the
local legislatures revise the charters granted
to collegiate establishments, and recall them
when they are not justified by the working of
the institutions themselves. At any rate it is
infinitely to be desired that the denomina-
ton of university and college in every State
should be restricted to very, very select few.
There was a time, in our own State of New
York, when the Legislature generously aided
collegiate education by annual grants. With
the growing influence of the democratic party
in the Legislature these grants yearly dimin-
ished. At length, when Tammany became
omnipotent, they ceased altogether, and for
the last twenty years and moro no aid has
been riven to any but the common schools
This Is founded on wrong principle. In
a country like the United States the highest
university and scientific education, just like
that impaired in the lowest primary school, is
for the people and by the people. 1t is the
interest of every man, woman and child in
the community that there should be schools
for the teaching of the highest knowledge in
every conceivable form advantageous to society
The great universities, where statesmen. minis
tiers of religion, lawyers, physicians and
scholars are formed, work just as much for the
turn out skilled engineers, mechanics and
manufacturers

AFTER EIGHT YEARS of effort at reconcilia-
cion the enmity of the negroes and whites in
the South is worse than it was at the time Of
the New Orleans massacre. 1t is tending to a
war of races. To-day we have the news of a
terrible conflict in Lancaster, KY, with loss Of
life, which has required Governor Leslie to
call out the militia, and in Ridge Springs,
s. G., riot was only suppressed by the
prompt energy of the whites. These are bad
signs for the South, but not for third term.

The SIOUX, the Cheyennes and the Ara

thanked, and not the Quaker commissioners.

The CARLrsTs have won a victory, not by

SEQ de Urgel, small city in Catalonia, con-
tanning less than three thousand inhabitants,
has been surrendered by the treachery of
friends of the Bishop Of Urgel, the chaplain
of Don Carlos. 1t was garrisoned by only
four hundred and eighty-fve men, and was
not point of strategic importance. The
Carlists shot the commandant of the citadel,
apparently with no other cause than their new
policy of terror. If they are shooting repub-
lican prisoners so freely now what will they
do when they enter Madrid, as the Able Nc
Master promises us they will do before six
months are pasta

OUR LONDON GOSSIP ranges to-day from
grave to gay, from the last days OF the Par
liamentary session to the base ball players
and the theatres. The American ball
clubs have, undoubtedly, been well received
by the English, and have been successful at
the game in which they we're expected to fail
cricket. England is full of royal crowns this
summer-some of them hardly being worth
half a sovereign. The removal of Temple
Bar is announced, and with it will fall many
literary and political associations

BAzAINE's EscApE.-New and unexpected
facts concerning Bazaine are given in one of
our letters from Paris to-day, and reasons are
given for the conjecture that his escape was
not without the connivance of the govern
ment-indeed, that he was not really i'm
prisoned The political condition of France,
especially in regard to the theory that strong
democratic empire is better than weak repub-
lie, is ably analyzed, and the necessity that
any government must maintain the present
system of land tenure is clearly shown These
are some results of the first French Revolu-
ton that no changes can now destroy, and the
land system is one of the principal.

tered over vast territory, but formed dense

We are convinced that little is to be gained
by the study of foreign precedents. The task
before us is unique and peculiar, and we must
depend upon the original and unborrowed
wisdom Of our statesmen applying strong
common sense to the facts of situation which
is too new to derive much aid from prece-
dents. The few precedents which are appli-
cable must be drawn from our own past history
in dealing with the Indians. The reservation
policy is not new, being forty years old in
practice, dating from Jackson, and sixty years
old in theory, dating from Calhoun's reports
on Indian affairs, when he was Secretary of
War, and the Indians were under the exclusive
control Of that department The policy
which the opening OF the whole trans-Missis-
sippi country to settlement will inevitably
compel us to adopt requires the reinstatement
of the War Department in it's former control
of the Indians, since it necessitates so much
purely military work. But this will be merely
the beginning and first stage of great re-
form which will call for higher exercise of
sagacity and humanity IN its progress than
any duty which has ever been laid upon the
government.
