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.

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-
oeived daily at this Office, the branch Office,

Thirty-second streets, and the Brooklyn

remember that the earlier their advertisements
are in the HERALD Office the better for them.

HERALD claims credit not only for the sub
stance of its advice, but for its timeliness
The frightened republican journals which at
last indorse the advice cannot turn back the
wheels of time and restore the condition OF
things when it was first given. A shot at
game within easy range is worth dozen after
it has fed to greater distance. 1t is not our
fault that the tairest opportunities have been
wasted by slowness of perception on the part
of our republican contemporaries; but even
now the adoption Of the HERALD advice by
Governor Dix may perhaps arrest the ruin
which he might have forestaled.

A Day OF Doctrinal Disoours.s


The pulpits yesterday were not graced by 20
many Episcopal robes, DR.. Robertson, the
Bishop of Missouri DR.. Wilmer, Bishop Of
Louisiana, and Dr.. Williams, Lord Bishop of
Quebec, being the only divines Of superior
dignity who delivered discourses. Most OF
the sermous were Of the doctrinal kind, even
Mr.. Beecher and Mr.. rockingham conAning
themselves to the discussion of principles.
That the former should discuss individualism
in the Church and the latter the inseparabil-
ity OF goodness and happiness are as charac-
teristic in their way as that Father Salter should
insist upon the real presence of God in the
sanctuary and the sacrament at st. Patrick's
Cathedral. We can scarcely give more than
catalogue of the discourses which is the
less to be regretted since in each case the
title Of the sermon indicates the argument
The Rev. DR.. McGlynn, at st. Stephens
church, in Twenty-eighth street. preached
upon the parable Of the unmerciful servant
enforcing the duty of the forgiveness of in
juries; DR.. Wild, at the Methodist church in
Seventh avenue, spoke of Gods supreme love
for sinners at st. Marks church DR.. vinton
took issue with the Darwinian theory:
DR.. Warren, at St. Johns Methodist
church, discussed the question raised
by Professor Tyndan as to whether
prayer would prove eficacious in SET
ting aside natural laws, and DR.. Snodgrass,
at the Phillips Presbyterian church, in Madi.
son avenue, chose as his subject Gods love
for the Church. Even DR.. Talmage, of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle, confined himself to tha
lesson of st. Stephens martyrdom, though
perhaps he offended somewhat against taste
in saying the apostle was stoned because Of "a
rousing sermon he had just preached. There
were only two exceptions to the general rule
of doctrinal teaching, that of the Rev. R. 8.
Macarthur, of the Calvary Baptist church, who
chose botany as his subject, and of the Rev. Dr..
Fulton, who mixed q little politics with dis
course upon stealing. Yesterday was indeed
day of doctrine to the churches.

Has Btsm arck Retreateds :

If the statement in our cable despatch
from Berlin to-day be confrmed-viz-, that
the charge against Count Won Arnim has
dwindled down to one of insubordination
only because Bismarck breads the further
spread of the scandal-then it is plain that
the Prince made grave blunder in ordering
the arrest of the ex-Minister. The attention
Of the whole world has been directed
to this bold and exceptional step, and
it was naturally thought that the Count Won
Arnim had been guilty of some terrible crime
These are not the days of the great Frederick,
when military law ruled the State and when
the imprisonment of dignitaries and ENJOYS
was not matter of surprise. The arrest Of
Won Arnim was startling, and required an ex-
treme situation to justify it either on the
ground of policy or that Of right
But if, after the parade of Count Won
Arnim's offences, the seizure Of State papers,
the efforts to again embroil France and Ger
many. the attempt to use his position as Am
bassador to promote the interests of an ultra
montane monarchy, Bismarck is alarmed
at the prospect Of the revelations
which would follow trial based upon
these charges, he certainly is in no
enviable position. His effort to browbeat the
Count has failed, and prudence prohibits the
execution Of his threats. If Won Arnim, at
the trial, which II is announced will take
place three weeks hence, is to be accused only
of insubordination, then Won Arnim is
practically master of the situation.
But it is rarely that Bismarck retreats, and
his character is so well known that it seems
almost impossible that he should have at
tempted to force his game with C6unt Won
Arnim without calculating upon the results Of
failure as we'll as those of success.

The Financial Question in the w est
ern Elections.

orn ELECTIONS
We think it great exaggeration tor the
republican press to represent the democratic
victories in Ohio and Indiana MS triumph Of
imitation and reputation. 1t is true that the
democratic platforms in those States give
color to such representations but platforms
60 for little against facts. In Indiana the
most splendid success OF the democracy was
in the Third Congressional district, which
elected Michael Kerr by two thousand ma
jority. Mr.. Kerr rejected and scoffed that
part of the State platform which favored
financial heresies, and yet he made the most
brilliant and successful canvass Of any candi-
date for Congress in Indiana. If imitation
and Pendletonism were the popular issues in
Indiana Mr. Kerr should have been the weak
est, instead OF the strongest, candidate in
that State. A part of his strength
is, Of course, due to his personal char
acter, which is highly esteemed but
he is one OF the soundest and most outspoken
men in the country on the whole range of
financial questions SO, too, in Ohio, the
most brilliant and remarkable democratic VIC
tory was won in the Twentieth Congressional
district, where Paine, the democratic candi-
date, was pronounced anti-infationist and
anti-repudiationist Had these been the
popular issues in the West Paine and Kerr
should have been defeated or have stood low
est on the list of successful candidates, instead
of leading the canvass in their respective
States. The position OF Senator Thurman
should count for something in the politics Of
Ohio. He is the abest democrat in public
life, and he is well-known opponent Of the
financial heresies which found expression in
the democratic platform of his State. The
most influential democrats who have been
elected to Congress in Ohio and Indiana are
totally opposed to all wild schemes Of finance,

Miss Cushman's Farewell Engagement

Miss Cushman's Farewell Engagement.
At time when our stage has been taken
possession Of by the sumptuously dressed
ladies of the society drama the temperance
of great actress is an event that must stir the
hearts of all who look on the theatre as some
thing more than place Of elegant leisure.
The return of Miss Cushman to the stage is
an event of great Importance. Under her
influence grand pictures of human passion
will replace the degrading scnsationalism of
the physical drama, and the theatre
become once more the resort of peo-
pie seeking intellectual amusement Miss
Cushman's genius and power are so
widely known and recognized that
it is not necessary for us to bespeak for her
the respectful attention of the public. This
she will command and more-the love and
admiration which must ever attach to life
of honorable endeavor and triumph. The
great successes Of this foremost American
actress belong almost to another generation,
but the fire of her genius has continued to
burn brightly, while the great stars that once
illumined the dramatic armament have
dropped one by one from view into the in
finite space Of eternity. Miss Cushman, too,
takes her farewell of the stage, and her present
engagement will be the last opportunity
afforded to the people of New York to wit
ness the great creations which have secured
for Miss Cushman whatever Immortality the
stage can give-a resting place in the memory
of mankind with the Bettertons, the Siddonses,
the Rachels, the Keans and the Macreadys
The disappearance from our stage of such a
noble and commanding figure will leave gap
which must long remain untitled The public
will not fail to mark their appreciation Of
the great artist who in her old
age bids adieu to the scene of her triumphs in
all the ripe maturity of her genius. Time,
which has withered all else, seems but to have
mellowed her intellectual gifts, and though
the SHOWS of winter have fallen on her brow
she preserves the fulness of dramatic power
which ordinarily belongs only to the earlier
years of life The three characters chosen for
representation are Queen Katharine, Lady
Macbeth and Meg Merrilles. In all three Miss
Cushman has won worldwide fame, and it is
peculiarly appropriate that she should select
those roles in which she achieved renown for
her farewell engagement We have no doubt
that the public will pay its tribute of homage
in a manner worthy of the great actress, and
that she will carry with her into her retire.

THE Baltimore American calls upon Mr..
Blaine to come down from the desk and
lead the party in the House. 1t says
What man is there in the present Con-
''gTess that possesses the courage, the adj
''dress, the tact and the ability requisite to
harmonic the discordant elements of the
"maiOrity; to prevent splits and divisions
"Upon questions involving matters of party

"tLe House so as to benefit the whole
Country, and build up the shattered for
"tunes Of RepublicanisT-in short to in
"suTe the election of a Republican Presi-
"dent in 1876? There may be many men
" in the House who have the nerve to IN
deTtake and the ability to perform this
"hcrculean task, but the Republicans Of
''the East and West have, with singular
Unanimity, designated Speaker Blaine as
"the man who ought TO take the floor in
this crisis and direct the course of legis-
lation. lie is an admirable presiding Of
"ficer, and it would be difficult to find a
oman who could fill the Speaker chair so
"acccptably, but there is an almost unani-
"mous opinion that during the remainder
"of the session the services of Mr.. Blaine
care needed on the floor. We do not
know that he would consent to take the
"placc Of Mr.. Dawes, or that his personal
"Wislcs in the matter have been consulted,
"but when we find the intelligent Repub-
"icans of the country turning as it were
d" instinctively to him as a strong man, able
"to shoulder a heavy responsibility and
"carry it bravely through, we think that
ga patriotic sense of duty should induce
''him to weigh well the considerations
"that he may think sufficient to compel
him TO decline the proffered honor.

THERE is a strong disposition manifested
by some of the more practical men of large
financial experience in both Houses of Con-
Crcss to resuscitatc and press forward, with
some SLIGHT notifications, House bill No.
1898. introduced carly in the last session
by Hon. Freeman Clark, of Rochester, n.
Y. /. provides for coin redemption of
grecnIacks by the 4th of July, 1876, with
the right of reissue and the simultaneous
repeal of the limit to the issues of national
bank currency. 1t also contemplates the
establishment of joint stock bank in New
York. which shall act as a clearing house
and redeeming agent for national banks.
National banks to be exempt from taxation
on the average amount Of their deposit with
this bank of redemption, the latter paying
such tax. The Secretary of the Treasury
is to sell no more coin or otherwise pay out
more than may be necessary to meet the
interest on the public debt and the re-
ouircd contributions to the sinking fund,
until theamount on hand shall have reached
one hundred millions, which amount is
deemed sufficient for the redemption of
such portion of greenbacks as may be pre-
sented These principles conform to the
English system as operated through the
Bank Of England, and are both simple and
sound. That such a system can be car
ried into effect without any disturbance. of
the monetary affairs of the country there is
title doubt in the minds of its advocates.
