parauvely little was known OF the history OF the

cent researches by arcAGologists, the SUD-

The Spectator, after admitting with good
deal of chagrin that tho aristocracy Oh the

cholia, or religious mania, in towns where tne
waye of excitement is subsiding, while still
others assure us that the temporary agltatiOn

The plain fact remains that Messrs. Moody
and Sankcy still attract the people, ana we
cannot see for our part why any heat OF us
cussion need be provoked by 1t. No doubt the
audiences are at first largely composed OF
church going people, who wish to test the
value of this new religious force, and OF the
inevitable shifting crowd that from the DAYS
of the Athenians until now have followed the
thing that is new. II people or culture are
offended by Amercanisms aud vulgarity, thel
culture doubtless will defend them from serious
harm. But the fact that such people go to
Exeter Hall rather than their own churches
certainly implies that Niessrs. Moody ana
Sankey, vulgar or otherwise, have something to
give them which they lack and do not
receive from "better teachers" The London
Times perhaps reaches the solution OF the
mystery when it says that their power lies In
certain home truths concerning our relation
to God, and life and its uses, spoken by very
sincere and earnest men. Ii these home
truths are brought home to English titled or
untitled classes by "Bible stories told ID
"Chicago dialect" or by Americanisms, or by
"rhythmical chants by thousands of voices"
we, with all other rational men, shall be
heartily glad, and consider the good taste OF
tho means by which it was done very small
matter indeed. If man Is reused from sleep
to be told that but short day lies between
him and death, and hastcns to fill that day
with necessary good work, it concerns him
little whether he was wakenod by solemn
music or the Growing of the barn-yard cock.
We shall be glad if Messrs. Moody and Sankey
come homo rs sincere and earnest men as they
are now said to be, and wsken us unto differ
cnt lives by any means they choose.

LEGISLATOR AND ATTORNEY.

The relations of Mr.. ID. y. Wood to the
public as legislator, and to his clients as lob
byist and canal-clann lawyer arc q little diff
cult of separation. Doubtless Mr. Wood Sic
ccedcd in convincing himself that he could act
with perfect honesty and npartiality, between
tie public that paid him for his services as
legislator, and his clients Who paid him larger
fees for prosecuting their claims against the
public treasury. But the line OF distinction
between legislator and lawyer is so thin and
dInly marked that the average voter gets con-
fused and mystified over it. The truth i, that
the practice which has obtained OF late years
on the part of some thrifty attorneys, OF pE.c-
ticing in the lobby ono year and going to the
Legislature the next, is full of all manner Of
mischief. it is time it was stopped. Mr..
Wood, by his sem-denials of the statements
made by The TRIBUNE's correspondent in the
first letter touching that gentlcmans relations
with the Canal Ring as attorney, compelled
fuller investigation and the publication Of thc
results. There was Il certain air of
plausibility in these constructive dcnias
of hi, that without positively inviting
inquiry, left no other course open to The TEIB-
UNE. We have simply taken the measures
necessary to ascertain the facts, aud those
facts we have given to the public in their
naked simplicity, almost without gloss or COM
ment. 1t is to DO regretted that they should
need any explanation whatever.
We do not by any means deny that it Is pos
sible for a gentleman in Dir. Woods position
to exercise an unbiased Judgment H. legislator,

trustee, and the other his client, whose
claim no is bound by his professional
oath oDd his paid retainer, to prosecute
and maintain. 1t may be that Mr.. Wood can
discriminate so nicely aud wisely, between
duty to his trust as legislator. and duty 10 lis
client as attorney. that neither shall be- prcju-
diced nor injustice be done to either. We may
say, however, with no improperly, that
