Drive Et E4omey

It is generally understood that tho pardon
of Ingersoll means that Governor Tilden and
Charles OConor and those who have control
of what are called the Ring suits mean to
force them to prompt and thorough issue.
Ingersoll, Like Garvey, Davidson and Norton,
and some others of the old Ring, means to go
upon the stand and become an informer. The
effect of his evidence will be to enable justice
to be done upon the men who were intrusted
for years with the supreme government OF
New York, who robbed the city and made
our name scorn among the nations. We
sincerely trust that tho anticipations of Gov
ernor Tilden and Charles O'Conor will prove
true. Now that the release of this con-
spicuous criminal gives them the opportunity
to enforce justice let them drive the prosecu-
tons home. Let the investigation be SO
thorough that not one of the men, no matter
how subordinate, who conspired to bring upon
New York the infamy generated under the
Tammany rule, shall escape unpunlshed As
for the informers themselves, they are pun.
ished enough by their accepted iutamy. As
for those who are abroad, they will probably
never return to this country, but live like wan
derers upon the face of the earth. But wherever
there is o dollar of property taken from the
city treasury let it be seized and its value re-
turned to the people. Let there be no half
way measures in this work. There is
enough of condoning the infamies of these
men, the results of whose maladministration
we meet every day. There has been
enough of sympathy and cries of par.
don and mercy. How can we give mercy
to the men who are yet rich with the hard
earned taxes of the people OF New York;
How can we pardon the intelligent and able
men who conspired to build that monument
of corruption and fraud, the New York Cour
House? How can we show grace to the
malefactors who have not yet even made
restitution of their booty? Therefore, we
say, drive this whole matter home The time is
past for compromise, for menly-mouthed prot
estations, for meaningless words of censure.
The time has passed when the plots of the
Ring leaders to save themselves can avail.
Let the true meaning of the revolution which
threw the Tammany Ring out of power have
effect and emphasis. The men who are to
prosecute these Ring suits, headed by Charles
O'Conor, have the full sympathy of the
people, and we urge them again to drive then
work home.

1t would be interesting to know how IA
British influence is behind this movement
of Gonzales. Ever since the explosion
Of the SANTANA Bay Company the Englisl
have becn persistent in their efforts t,
prevent Americans from obtaining d foot
hold in st. Domingo. We do not believe in
annexation, and we think that President
Grants efforts in that direction properly
failed, because they did not meet the best
wishes OF the country. But at the same time
we do not choose to allow without protest
the interference of foreign Powers in the
affairs of St Domingo, nor will our people
cheertully submit to any claim of this
kind on the part of the government
of Gonzales. Our failure to annex
St Domingo was simply because we did not
care to extend our dominion over country
largely controlled by Spaniards and negroes,
while we had the South to manage and home
attention. 1t would be well for the st, Do
mingo government to abandon any intention
of making foolish claims of indemnity against
the United States. Those statesmen of that
island who are In favor of independence
may feel content that they are out of the
difficulty, and that there is no longer in this
country any party that cares to bother about
their island. It will only revive discussion
that can do no good.

THE PULPT.-T The churches yesterday we're
crowded, aud the fine weather which seduced
10 many persons from their religious duties
also deprived thousands of others q any ex-
suse for their non-performanco. The infu-
snce Of weather upon religion Is BY 40 means
nnimportant. A rain storm will often spoil
revival. and sinners may remain unconverted
for the want Of an umbrella. But yesterday
no one had valid apology for remaining away
from church, and the metropolitan clergymen
preached with renewed ardor and eloquence.
We print elsewhere the sermons Of Mr.. Varley,
at the Church OF the Disciples; Of Mr.. Beecher,
upon religion and morality; Of Rev. Father
Farley, at ST. PatrIck's Cathedral; Of Dr.
Arrnitage, on the resurrection; Mr.. Frothing-
ham, on rational belief. and others which deal
With important topics Of theology and morais.

A Legacy from tho West Indies.

We had thought that the St Domingo
business was dead and buried, mourned only
by General ingalls,, General Babcock and DR..
Howe, of Boston. We have had information
Of an interesting character which shows that
the President has not yet come to the end of
his negotiations" 1t seems that some
American gentlemen were in St Domingo
last month and were honored by an interview
with President Gonzales. Gonzales is a
statesman who few years ago existed in st.
Domingo without any visible means of sup
port. he informed this company of American
yachtsmen that he was determined to ''try the
experiment of free speech, free press and as
much liberty as is enjoyed in the United
States, even though he persisted in the
attempt" No one had been exlled ''but Baez,
and he might come back if he felt SO dis
posed" There had been a treaty of amity,
peace and reciprocity with Hayti. Further
more, = number OF st. Domingo citizens,
.'victims of Baez's action while under the i'm
mediate protection Of the United States ships
of war, have prepared q claim, amounting to
FIVE million dollars, against the United States.
They have founded this claim upon Senator
Summers speech against annexation. "The
government has not yet decided by whom to
present this claim, having no diplomatic rep
resentative in Washington" 1t seems We are
asked to pay five million dollars because we
gave Baez a protection thereby becoming

ut is this undertaking." says an English
journal, (Which is now to be domesticated in

important works Of modern times. It's results

Arlxnnaaa Politics.

We print elsewhere the third letter Of Mr..
Charles Nordhoff, our special correspondent
in the South He gives view Of the condition
Of parties in Arkansas which will interest
politicians-but not these alone; for he shows
that with parties 50 evenly balanced as they
appear to be the negro vote IS Of importance
to both. and both are accordingly conciliating
the black voter The color line, our cor
respondent says, is broken. There are and
viii be both democratic and republican NO
croes. and there is imminent o reorganizatio on
Of political parties in which the white vote
will be split upon new issues 1t is curious
10 read that in Arkansas they still have
whips-whigs who have the old and natural
antipathy to democrats and will not long vote
with them.
Our correspondent remarks that not only is
the State now at peace, but the most essential
elements for continued peace and security are
present This is matter for thankfulness.
Let the people and the rulers Of Arkansas
maintain law and order, and, whatever federal
political leaders may say, the Northern people
will not care how they vote or whether the
State goes republican or democratic in 1876.
What we Of the North want is peace.

GO A majority of the members of the late
Grand Jury of this county appear to have
thought little Of their oath in acting on certain
cases before them. We gave an instance or
two in a late issue, and a correspondent Of tho
White House Caskst, writing from the village
of California, gives the following
This place is cursed with one distillery and
one grog shop, where rum is dealt out to all
who will pay ten cents drink, without regard
to age-for boys as we'll as men can buy it,
Now, this grog shop is not licensed, but the
keeper retails ale and rum to all who win pay
for it, in spite Of law, backed up by the ma
jority Of Grand Jury sworn to diligently en-
quire into, and true presentments make, Of all
such matters, and shall not leave any one I'M
represented /; yet grand jurors allow them
selves to be tempered with, and close their
eyes and ears against the evidence Of four
sworn men, that intoxicating grog and rum
(Which he calls Madison Bitters) are sold here
for ten cents drink. Here too, the young
men are cordially entertained, Sabbath after
moons, and they resort by the score to this den
of iniquity, where they are taught vice and
Immortality, and educated for the cause Of
the devil and his work.
This Is the case here and can it be that
enough of Grand Inquest could be tempered
with, and say that it shall continue in spite
of the wish of every one who are opposed to
such things, and in favor Of law and order |
Ought not the churches to arise, and put on
their strength, and battle against this monu~
ment of the devil, this way-mark of perdition,
standing as it does between them, until It
shall fall, and justice be dealt out to those
who would deal out poison to our young men,
our old men, our friends, and our neighbors.
May the time soon come when Christian men
will cease to tolerate such things, by either
word or deed.

DEDICATION. hall for Divine worship
has just been completed at Pittstown, in this
county. 1t was formally opened on Saturday,
September 25th, at Q O'clock Invocation
and Scripture reading by Rev. ]. G. William
son. Rev. DIR. Webb, of New Brunswick,
leading in prayer.
Revs. Williamson, Watkinson, and Horton
delivered addresses.
A statement of the amount of moneys rails
ed and yet required, was made by Rev. G. e.
Young, to whose appeal a noble response to
the amount of 1917 was made--more than
800 above what was requested.
Mr.. John Y. Foster, of Newark, guest of
teresting remarks after which the dedica.
tory prayer was offered by Rev. G. E. Young.
The exercises were interspersed with APP
propriate selections of music from the new
note book The Sceptre.'
A brief description of the building, &c.,
might be of interest.
The lot on which the house of worship is
erected, is 100 by 1870 #. ; situate on the west
of Pittstown--the gift OF Mr.. L. M. beats.
The building is of two stories-the lower of
brick, the upper of frame. Its size is 81 by
As feet, the main rooms neatly coapeted and
furnished with pews at a cost, thus far, of
some $26OO of which sum, S2475 has been
secured as stock, at $40 share. Mr.. Potts
took 80 shares, Mr.. H. beats 80 shares, and
many others smaller number.
They propose to go on, finish and furnish
the lower room for Sunday School purposes,
ard fence in the entire lot.
+ In the constitution it is provided that each
of the four denominations, Baptist Episco-
palian,. Methodist and Presbyterian-shall
have the free use of the house one Sabbath
every month for preaching service.
1t may be OF interest in this connection to
state that Sunday School was held in Pitts
town as early as 1916, conducted by a Mrs,
Guild and her two daughters.
