Bosom Friendship Again.

The canvass for the Senate assumes on in
teresting phase. The liberal republicans, or.
as they had better be styled, the uncertain
democrats, claim to hold the balance Of power
in the Legislature. They propose to hold off
from the democratic caucus and unite with
the republicans so as to secure the election Of
MI. Fenton. That gentleman, it is now said,
is q much better republican than any demo-
crat that can be elected. If the republicans,
or black candidate mouse-colored nominee
like Fenton would probably be acceptable.
Some of the republican journals urge upon
Lord Roscoe to take part in this programme.
He is reminded that it would be an act Of
great magnanimity on his part to re-elect
Fenton, especially as, if not elected, he will
be politician out Of Office and without visible
means of support which he has not been for
many years. As Lord Roscoe is q generous
man it is thought this appeal will move
him.
But there is one great difficulty. The
Senate is Horntio Seymour; and, wonderful
to relate, Mr.. Seymour is Lord Roscoe's own
brother-in-law!!! Mr.. Seymour declines the
honor. But Mr.. Seymour always did decline
and never failed to accept. Mr.. Seymour is
more of candidate than before he declined.
We all know the important part played
by the brother-in-law in the economy of the
republican party, and how can Lord Roscoe,
with the affectionate and domestic example of
the President before him, abandon MIR. Sey-
mour? According to Mr. Roberts Mr.. Conk-
ling elected Mr.. Lord, the democratic can
didate for Congress in Oneida, because he
was low partner. With Mr.. Seymour, his
brother-in-law, in the Senate, and Mr.. Lord,
his law partner, in the House, Lord Roscoe
would be as costly surrounded as the Presi-
dent himself. They could lodge and board
together and save money by the arrangement
So, under the circumstances, it seems impossi-
BILE to expect him to abandon his brother-in-law
Seymour for the purpose Of making trade in
favor Of Fenton.
But suppose the liberals should nominate
Frederick A. Conkling for Senator? What
trial this would be to Lord Roscoe affections
Frederick is brother and Horatio only
brother-in-law and how could doting rela-
tive decide between thems

The MASSNo-GLADsroSE CONTROVERSY.
Our latest foreign arrivals give fuller details
OF the controversy between Mr.. Gladstone and
Archbishop Manning, but they have all thus
far been anticipated in the special cable de-
spatchcs OF the HERALD. The Archbishop ad-
dressed an asscmblage Of laymcn and clergy
men at his London residence, in which he
said that I'VE we're on the eve Of one of the
mightiest controversies that the religious
world has seen for three hundred years, but
that he did not fear the result" This is pre-
ciseIy the view the HERALD expressed on Sun
day. The discussion win be more important
tban any that has taken place since the time

Verdi's "Requiem Mass"

The performance OF Verdi's Requiem Mass
at the Academy Of Music last evening must be
noted as one of the marked events of O not
very eventful season. This is the first per-
formance Of this famous work, and Mr.. Stra-
kosch deserves the highest credit for the care,
the taste and the energy he has shown in its
production Some time since we noticed in
foreign paper complaints that American man.
ayers showed more enterprise in producing
the great musical works than the managers
of their own opera houses. "Lohen-
grim and ''AYda" were cited as in
stances OF this enterprise, and now, as another
triumph, we add the Requiem Mass" This
work has excited the greatest interest through
out Europe. Elsewhere we give critical esti-
mate of it from a musical point of view. It
only remains for us to thank Mr.. Strakosch
for having added this new trophy to his mu-
sical laurels, and to hope he may meet the re-
ward due to his enterprise and courage. It
has not been the best season for business gen.
erally but there has been .'tidal wave," the
skies tighten with holiday glow, and Mr..
Strakosch will, we trust, before he closes his
season, reap the highest reward. The "Re-
QUEEN Mass will be repeated on Saturday
evening.

The Removed Commissioners sf A..


counts.
In his endeavor to justify his removal Of
the Commissioners OF Accounts Mayor Have
meyer only succeeds in confirming the suspi-
cion that improper motives prompted the act
In an interview published in morning paper
the poor old gentleman founders through
list of complaints against the Commissioners,
commencing with their exposure of the care
lessness- ii to have been only care
lessness-manifested in the guardianship OF
the sinking fund securities down TO their
recent investigation of the Fire Department
this time. He declares that he never read the
complaint or charges against the Commis-
sioners made by the Comptroller, an6 he
does not pretend that they have been guilty of
any official misconduct But he affords q
clew to the motive of his action when
he says that the discharged Commissioners
swill have to turn over their papers, &c, to
their SUCCESSORS, and then, if on investigation
their unfinished reports prove correct, they
will be presented by those successors" We
are, therefore, forced to the conclusion that
the removal Of the Commissioners had two
objects-frst, to stop the investigation Of the
Finance Department and sinking fund Sc
curities which had just been commenced, and
to suppress the report of the interior manage
ment OF the Fire Department, which was on
the point Of being made. The Republic and
EUeniag Mail, in view OF these facts, urge the
reappointment of the removed Commissioners
of Accounts by Mayor Wickham so soon as he
takes Office, in order that they may conclude
the work thus abruptly interrupted
The removal Of the Commissioners of Ac-
counts, while it prevented by coup dktat .
scrutiny Of the Chamberlain's securities by
competent and faithful investigators, does not
prevent the late Commissioners from reporting
to the Board of Aldermen the result of their in
quiry into the management of the Fire Depart
ment. Neither will it interfere with their publ
and floating debt as may have come to their
knowledge in their official capacity Their
immediate reappointment by Mayor Wickham
is, nevertheless, demanded by considerations of
public policy. They have made themselves
familiar with the workings of the departments,
and especially of the Finance Department,
and cannot be imposed upon by false or dis
torted figures. They Lave evinced an earnest
determination to discharge their duties with
out fear or favor, and have been throughout
hampered and hindered by the opposition of
the Comptroller and the testy displeasure of
the Mayor. Their sudden removal, to say the
least, wears suspicious look, and was evi-
IDENTIFY induced by the dread Of investigation.
The public interest, therefore, requires that
they should be restored to Office and clothed
with the power to complete their work, backed
by the countenance Of an honest Mayor.

The APPEAL made to the citizens Of New
York by the managers and patrons of the
Catholic Orphan Asylum should not be un-
needed. The performances at the Academy
of Music tomorrow in the afternoon and
evening in aid of the funds OF that noble char
ity should realize q substantial sum- The
treasury is now very low. The asylum de-
pends almost wholly on voluntary contribu-
tons, and as it is now, on the eve Of winter,
called upon to meet extraordinary expenses,
the citizens who appreciate it's efforts should
soms cheerfully and libsrally to its aid

TIE HEALTH OF THE CrTY.-Dr. Harris, at
the meeting of the Board of Health yesterday,
reported a slight increase in the number of
deaths over the report of last week. The in
crease in dphtheria is q noticeable event;
and the Doctor notes that it has been more
prevalent in the towns outside of New York.
1t is not pleasant to see that the death rate is
larger in New York than in London or Paris;
for there is no reason why our city should not
be as healthy as either of these greater
capitals.

Sunday Amusements and the Church.
The fact that religion is progressive is Of
vital importance to the world. Its funda-
mental truths may be immutable, but the in
depreciation Of them changes. As the noun
tain stands unaltered, yet as men approach it
new ranges are upheaved and unseen peaks
disclosed, SO Christianity appears to change
as humanity is better able to comprehend it
The old-fashioned Sunday is no longer pos
sible in the large cities. A new civilization
exists and has its own peculiar spiritual and
material necessities. A hundred years ago,
when America was thinly settled, strict OBJ
servance of Sunday as . day of rest and in a
Puritanical manner was possible and perhaps
proper; but New York could not now, if it
would, direct its Sunday in the spirit of
l77s The Church does not do it. In
sensibly the Church has yielded to the
spirit Of the age and adapted its forms
Of worship TO modern wants. Magnif-
cent edifces, high-priced pews, fashionable
music, long salaries and short sermons-all
things, indeed. that help to make religion
at,nctive--the Church now employs as its in
struments. II, then; the clergy itself recog-
nixes that Sunday cannot be religiously OBJ
served exactly as it used to be it is not
strange that other innovations should be
made by the public. So many persons in
New York have no other time for relaxation
than Sunday that they naturally seek amuse-
ment, and one great social question of our
time concerns the kind of nmusement that
can be recognized as respectable and proper.
The debate which has been conducted in our
columns with SO much warmth and intelli-
gence will 60 far towards defining the nature
Of suitable Sunday amusements, and in the
meanwhile we would again urge the impor-
tance of opening the public hbmries and
reading rooms. On all days these popular
institutions nre benefit; on Sundays they
would be blessing.

The CIVIL SERVICE Medill, the edi-
tor of the Chicago Tribune, who was for some
time member of the Civil Service Commits
sion, is quite sanguine about the Presidents
proposal to enforce the rules of the commits
sion. 1t will be remembered that the COM
mission practically came to on end by the re-
signation of George William Curtis, because
the President appointed General Sharpe to be
Surveyor of the Port, in violation of the rule.
Since then the public has had little confidence
in the integrity OF the civil service. We shall
be glad to see the President justify the hopes
expressed BY Mr.. MedilL .s

century. This great reform ought easily
to be carried in the present condition
of parties, when the republicans have q
motive to clear themselves of damag-
ing suspicious and the democrats could
not afford to confess that their anti-third
term cry wns false and hollow This is
a reform which our great statesmen have
desired for half century. jackson recon-
mended it in every one of his eight annual
messages Clay advocated it with equal steadi-
ness and vigor.
Prophets and kings desired 1t long.
But died without the sight.
The republican party may vindicate its own
character and force the democrats to follow its
lead in great and necessary reform if Con-
gress at its next session will take advantage
of this golden opportunity.
Second-Another great and salutary meas
ure which this Congress can either force
through or put upon the democrats the re-
sponsibility for its defeat is civil service re-
form in its most desirable shape. The only
method by which the reform can be made
secure and the Executive forever stripped Of
his corrupting patronage is constitutional
amendment permitting the President to
dismiss the heads of departments and
persons in the diplomatic service at
pleasure, but forbidding the removal of other
officers except for incapacity or unfaithful-
ness. Nothing would do SO much to purify
our politics as the adoption Of such an amend
ment The chances of carrying it would be
less than in the case of an amendment for
limiting the President to one term, since its
effect would be to retain all the subordinate
federal Offices In the hands of the republicans.
But the reform is so evidently wise that the
democrats would suffer by rejecting it. If
such reform were accepted the federal off,
GERS would at once cease to be corrupting
make-weight in politics for as soon as the
civil officers held by an Independent tenure
they would take no more active interest in
politics than the officers of the army, and,
like them, would seldom 60 to the polls.
We have in reserve quite catalogue Of
other things which we would recommend the
republicans to do at the next session, if a re-
construction Of the Cabinet should give us
any hope of their being indorsed and pressed
by strong and able administration.
