such uncomprOmising foes az the he"" vi
all tho Departments In Washington we
sbould hear a good deal less OF In
dian Rings and misrepresentation OF Govern
| ment funds by United States Marsilals and
| their deputies. Unlike many OF those IN
authority, Mr.. Jewell does not appear to think
| that fealty to party is an excuse for COM
pounding felonies.
The building of the splendid now place of wOr-
ship of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church,
at the corner of Fifth-ave. and Fifty-ffth-st.,
marks alike the rapid growth OF this church
through the popularity of its distinguished pas
tor and the swift but steady encrOachment OF
business upon what was few years ago the
most fashionable residence quarter in the city.
We publish to-day u description of the new
edi6ce, some "reminiscences OF the history OF
the congregation, and n brief biographical
sketch of the Rev. DR.. John Hall, the present
pastor of the church.
The sermon on the Character and Influence
of the Newspaper Press of tho Country, de-
ivered yesterday by the Rev. Dr. Hatfield In the
Arch Street Methodist Church in Philadelphia,
is remarkable for containing great num-
Der of unpalatable truths, compressed in
to small space and given with telling
force. The Doctor Gays very HUE
which the better class of newspapers will not
thoroughly approve, and the method he sug-
gests for reforming the abuses of the press
deserves the practical adoption of all who
really wish reform.
There seems to be an increasing diversity of
opinion among Senators as to tho prop1ety Oh
passing the bill providing for the summary re-
moval by the Governor Of State officials who
may be charged with malfeasance in Office or
criminal neglect of duty. 1t is evident, how
| ever, that the bill has strong support which
is made more formidable by the belief that it
was drafted to suit the views OF the Governor
and others who have given special attention to
the subject of Canal Reform. We arc 0s-
sured from Albany that it is not expected that
there will be occasion for its enforcement,
should it become law, in the case of any
member Of the present Canal Board.
The students of the Yale College Law School
are enjoying an opportunity not afforded III
many such institutions in hearing lectures from
distinguished gentlemen, some OF whom are
not connected with the University on ques-
tons bearing directly upon the politics of this
day and country. An interesting contribution
to the course is tho lecture delivered last week
by Prof +. A. Walker, an abstract of which
is presented on our third page. Prof. Walker
spoke of Reform in our Politics, touching upon
such timely topics as the evils of the Caucus
System, abuses in the Civil Service, cumula-
tive voting, and the inequalities of representa-
| ton. While all the propositions Of the Ice
turer do not meet our unqualified assent, his
views tend in the right direction, and many
persons already prominent and influential Ill
both State and Federal politics may study them
with profit.
There were printed and sold on Saturday

TRIBUNE As the paper on that day consisted
of two full sheets of eight pages EACH the

TRIBUNE for each day thus far i'll the month
of April has been:
