:REwrvAL.-The revival iii the Methodist
Church, in this city continues with co.sidera-
bic interest. Since its commencement, quite
a number have protested saving faith. Among
them are heads ct families, husbands and
wives. bowling together imploring mercy, and
young ladies and gentlemen, with the Sunday
School scholar, thus obeying the injunction,
Remember thou thy Creator in the days OF
thy yonth-".
Last Sunday morning the Superintendent of
the Sunday School, after consultation with his
assistants, determined to dispense with the
lessons and4rold a prayer meeting in
stead for thesbeneff0f the school. Earnest
and appropriate remarks were made by c. w.
Hunter, Robt. Haihes, ]. B. Evans and Mai.
Newton, and, rs the,result, about go penitents
were bowed at one time, seeking the ':pearl
of great price, andsuch was the interest that
the exercises continued until one O'Clock P. M.
In the meantime, DR.. Martin, the laborious
pastor, preached alarge congregation in the
audience room of thefcharch presenting scene
never before witnessed in any church in this
city. In the Afternoon an experience meet
ing was held and number of aged persons
related their christian experience, all Of whom
began their religious career in early life. We
hope the influence may extend until all in our
city are embraced in the fold Of God.

trct, whereat the matter was discussed, and
it was discovered that the publications here.
totore made relative to the aft .ir have aroused
the most lively interest in ;hs commu
nifty, and the consummation is arlently
longed for by numbers who have determined
TO participate.
1t was there asserted by parties who have
interested themselves in the project, that sew
eral hundred persons have indicated desire
to take part in the excursion, and that the
agents Of the Trans atlantic steamers in New
York have made encouraging propositions to
transport from this city to Liverpool and re-
turn, certain number of excursionsts, upon
very moderate terms.
The agency of a certain line have proposed
to transport given number from this city to
New York. on Pullman cars, and thence to
Liverpool, returning after lapse of thirty
days the passage money not to exceed the
sum Of seventy five dollars.
The said agency proposes to allow sixty
days for the trip and to land the excurs on
lists in Philadelphia, thence to transport them
to this place by rail. Besides various men,
bers of prominent fire companies, it is
asserted that numerous applications have been
made by citizens to Mr. Swan and others

ing to enroll themselves as excursionists,
and from the present outlook it is calculated
that, should satisfactory arrangements be
made, party varying from three te five hun

THE SECkEL CASE.

The public has been treated lately to extern
sive reports of the arrest and trial on habeas
corpus of a man named Seckel of Bridgeport,
Connecticut, charged with having sent
through the mails matter OF such character
as to bring him within the statute prohibiting
the transmission Of obscene mater through
the post.
After lengthy argument Judge Cullom
refused to release him, and the United States
Marshal took him in charge and incarcerated
him in the old Butler den il the Custom
House.
In the evening Times there is published
with that characteristic regard for accuracy
for which that journal is noted a sensational
account Of Seckels woes here, and how the
lawyers of this city had bled him, and how
they heeced him out of some fifteen hundred
dollars. TIE story read well, but, like some
of those exciting dime novels, it lacked that
essential quality SO desirable in a statement
of facts, and that is truth.
The attorneys who represented Seckel in
his attempt to secure q release through q
habeas corpus have not as yet received a sin
gle cent for their services, the Times to the
contrary notwithstanding, and they have, with
no little regret learned that their Gent has,
in his mind, been 50 profuse in his liberali.ies.
The gentlemen who represented Seckel deny
that the statement published is in any partic-
ular correct, and they refer to their impris-
oned client for the confirmation Of their
statement.

to the Associated Press with the comments
thereon by the New Orleans Times, Of March
|. There was no agreement or understand
ing except so far as | YVES personally con-
cerned that the whole committee should ar
bitrate, until the agreement lately signed by
the Democrats claiming seats IN the Legisa-
ture and STIMULATING that the whole committee
Shout aroitrate, was received
Mr. IIoar and myself have concluded to go
on with the arbitration notwithstanding the
introduction into the original agreement of
this new condition. All statements are erro-
neous that it was understood when Messrs
Burke and Leonard left Washington, that the
whole committee should arbitrate. 1t may
be expected that Mr.. Frye will concur in this
new arrangement, though be has not yet been
consulted, and it is hoped that the Republi-
can members of the Legislature will not
object to this condition which has been i'm
posed by the Democrats in their agreement
