The sermons yesterday in the churches felt
the influence OF the season and were full of
freshness and vigor. The Rev. o. B. Froth-
ingham selected as his subject "The Religion
of the Soul" and argued that while the re-
Igion Of the heart represented feeling
the religion of the soul represented
aspiration, and was the foundation
of faith. DR.. Deems preached on Parental
Duties" declaring that children were the
gift of God and blessing, and that child
hood brought many sweets into the world.
The family, he considered, represented
heaven, and was not complete without chill
dren. DR.. Deems thinks that no man should
receive any great trust or honor until he had
been father, and denounced in round
terms the modern artificial selfish desire
to be childless. DR.. Wild, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, took as his
text, 'The spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit that we are the children of God"
and argued that man was created perfect, and
competent Of self-rule in harmony with divine
requirements. Mr.. Beecher preached a bril-
liant and exhaustive sermon on the "Suprem-
acy of the Unseen and the True Life which is
to come" st. Paul declared that all SEN
sual knowledge perishes, and that it is only
that which is higher than the senses
the invisible-which is real and permanent.
If our present state of being is only one step
in an unfolding series; if the radical exception
of human life in this world is the auxiliary to
another and coming life, then we begin to
have q solution of all difficulties Bishop
Cheney occupied himself with the differences
between the Protestant and Reformed Episco-
pal churches, and closed by saying that
'creeds and affairs and priests are nothing !;
Jesus only must be all and in all" The
churches of all denominations were we'll
attended.

PEACE IN ARKANsAs.-The Arkansas bellig-
erents are rapidly scattering to their homes,
and there is hope that the period of violence
inaugurated by Brooks attempt to seize the
Governorship has reached its term. Brooks
command had left Little Rock under
agreement and there seems to be o
disposition on all sides to put an
end to the state of lawlsssness which
threatened to inaugurate a civil war. Some
arrests OF suspicious and dangerous characters
have been made as precautionary measure,
but all danger of q conflict may now be looked
on as at an end The recognition of Baxter
by the President has restored the empire of
the law, and Arkansas is once more at peace.

QUESTIONING SENATOR ScHuRzs vERAc1rY
The Chicago Inter Ocean, speaking of the
Washington letter to the st. Louis Republican
processing to give Senator Schurzs political
position, declares that its egotism is 80 pro-
found, its assumption 80 great, its malevo-
lence SO Satanic, its arrogance of tone SO
supercilious as to mark it Individually as the
work of Mr.. Schurz- Mr.. Schurz might have
better lett the matter of denial alone. II he
did not write the letter he must have inspired
it. If he did not directly inspire it he has
generally SO inspired the Republican CORE
spondent that he is able to 'refect" with
great accuracy, BY publishing denial Mr.

SENATOR MoRroN's ORGAN ALARMED. The
indianapolis Journal has evidently become
alarmed at the popularity with which the
proposition to organize the farmers of the
West into new party is being received, and
it is more especially concerned about Indiana.
1t admits that 'the democrats are, of course,
anxious for a new deal, and not few honest
republicans seem disposed to think the old
party needs Christening" The grangers are
advised to ''control the politics of the country
through existing parties" and those of Indi-
ana are assured that 'if the farmers nominate
o third ticket the result will be to throw the
State into the hands Of the democracy" The
convention of CHANGERS, which causes Mr..
Morton's organ SO much concern, meets on
the 10th prox., and from present Appearances
it is likely to nominate third ticket.

THE ERIE CANAL ENLARGEMENT
Chicago Inter- Ocean, referring to the attempt
to introduce steam on the Erie Canal, thinks
that there must be other improvements 'ff
New York desires to retain control of Western
transportation and defy Canadian compe-
tition. The only way to arrest the diversion
of business out of the state with which it is
menaced is an enlargement of the locks and
the bed of the Erie Canal, creating a capacity
to pass canal boats of six hundred tons burden.
This will enable New York to compete success
fully with the enlarged Welland Canal, which
threatens to tap Western transportation at the
lower end of Lake Erie and give the lion s
share of Western grain exports to Montreal
and the River st. Lawrence"

A STRONG GovERNaEST.-As soon as the
President spoke, the belligerent factions in
Arkansas saw that their strife must cease. He
happened to be on the right side and gave q
good opinion through his Attorney General
for being so, but had he taken another course
and firmly commanded peace, there would
probably have been no armed resistance. He
was on the wrong side in the Louisiana case,
yet he compelled peace. When an issue is
made the federal government is supreme and
powerful enough to override State authority.
jackson showed this in the Notification act of
South Carolina, and it was tested, though Sc
verely and at an enormous cost of life and
money. in the late secession war. With all
our States rights and local self-government,
there is not stronger central power in the
world than that at Washington.

REPORTED ARRANGEMENT By WHICH WIZ

FROM THE NRw ROAD
With the opening OF the Berks County Rail
road-the connection between the Wilmington
& Reading Railroad and the Lehigh coal regions
the citlzeus ot Wilmington congratulated them
selves that they would now be enabled to obtain
coal direct from the mines at greatly reduced
prices. But the expectation will never be real
Ized, If the current reports prove true.
It is reported in Reading land much credence
is given to the report) that some time ago an ar
rangement was entered Into between the Lehigh
Valley aud the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
| Companies, by which the former Company agreed
not to enter into competition tor the shipment OF
lSchuylkul coal, provided the latter Company
| would ship no more coal to New York. In con-
| sideIation of this agreement the former Company
further agreed to increase the rates Of coal ship
meuts over the Bcrks County Railroad one huu-
dred per cent in order that the rates should be
equal TO the rates ior receiving coal in this city
VIA the Philadelphia & Reading and p, W. & b.
Railroads. Another report says that the Lehlgh
| Valley Railroad coal cars would not be permitted
to 20 beyond Slatington, but would be unloaded
there aud the coal loaded on the Berks County
Railroad cars. This would produce an expense
to the latter Company which would be equivalent
, to an increase OF one hundred per centum in the
rates tor coal shipment.

AN OLD MAN IN WEST CHESTER SUCCEEDS, AF-

During the past six months, Moses Jordop,
an old, wealthy aud eccentric resident of West
Chester, Pa, has made several suicidal at
tempts, and in consequence vas closely watched.
he boarded at the Sherman House, and on
Friday evening, he and his attendant, Bernard
Hartenstine, sat down stairs until 8 o'clock,
Bernard asked him if be was ready to retire, to
which he replied, "yes, if you are ready, 1 will
