The sensible members Of the Legisla.
ture cannot fail to see that 1t is labOred
effort to shield one whom they have, un.
der their former proceedings, solemnly
impeAched for high crimes and misde'
meanors. Ifthis "oPinion" Of the attOr-
neys OF the two busy Bs means anything
it means that the politicians in the House
are doing their utmost to sulfocate the in.
iant Of official reform, pretended to have
been born at Charleston, in the throes Of u
sensational partizan squabble. 1t Is an
opinion that ought to be preserved
among the memorial Of the Centennial
year, as u natural curiosity, not as
legal one, by any means, When
the testimony in the cases is heard
the Minority Report and its reporters
will indeed be ridiculous in the eyes Of
the public"
But this report shows u scheme OF
which we have had rumors for several
days. 1t is to be noticed that the report
under consideration recommends that
Mr.. Burdett ought to be cenSured, but Mr.,
Bennett should be praised. The purpose is
to make Mr.. Burdett the common scape.
goat Of the party and to give the smooth,
smiling, benevolent Bennett vote Of
thanks.
The matter is in the hands OF certain
So.GaIIed Democratic leaders. They are
at work endeavOring to make the scheme
successful. They do not want Burdett
any more on their hands, but Bennett
can be useful to the politicians awhile
longer
We warn the conscientious men OF the
House to let nothing deter them from do-
ing their honest and patriotic duty upon
these impeachments.

The Revival In london.

The fact that the Presbyterian Synod now
in session at London has approved the revival
efforts of Messrs. Moody and Sankey is sug-
gestiye. Messrs. Moody and Sankey, as our
readers know, have been travelling over
England making speeches, delivering ser
mons and conducting religious services on
a large scale. They have succeeded in
awakening spirit Of religious enthusiasm
such as has not been known for q long time.
Tens Of thousands have attended their minis
trations and thousands have risen up in tears
and exclaimed that they had found religion.
The criticism has been made upon them that
they are shallow. ranting, wandering street
and that the effect of their work
will in the long run be PERM
cious. As Mr.. rockingham expressed
it the other day to a HERALD reporter, it
will be like the rising Of the waves in the
sea, which, when they subside, Will only show
larger deposits Of mud. The fact, however,
that q body as sober as the Presbyterian
Synod approves the preaching of Moody and
Sankey convinces rs that they do not justly fall
under this criticism. The Presbyterians were
never ''revlvalists' in the sense which we
might apply the word to the Mormons or the
Jesuits the Methodists or the Moslems. They
never made. efforts to proselyte. With them
questions Of faith have been of more conse-
quence than simple professions of devotion,
and, therefore, when we see that our fellow
countrymen have 50 conducted their efforts
to convert the English people as to meet the
appreciation Of Presbyterian synods we must
regard the movement as serious expression Of
religious interest.

South, 50 this Convention in the capital OF the
Old Dominion, on the eve of The Centennial
celebration Of our country's Independence,
may, we trust, DO the harbinger of a peaceful
reunion Of every section in the enduring bonds
OF Christian fellowship and love" No work
could be more beneficial ut this time than that
suggested IN the Richmond circular, nor
could the task of bringing the people of the
North and South to clearer understanding
OF each other s wants and condition be so
effectively undertaken by any body as by the
Young Mems Christian Association. This
convention may be made harbinger OF peace
for she whole country if it is attended with full
numbers and a proper spirit After calling
upon the people Of the whole country TO ere
unite IN the cordial bonds of one harmonious
brotherhood the Richmond committee de-
clares that nothing can do more to revive
our former devotion to the Union of our
fathers and to strengthen the bonds of affec-
ton between the North and the South, the East
and the West than the cooperation OF every
Christian in the objects of this Convention"
II we sought only material and political adj
vantages we should hope for very great sue
cess for the Richmond Convention and it its
deliberations result in peace and good will be-
tween the sections il will accomplish what is

work requiring the highest order of executive
capacity to Earring, jangling Common Coun-
ell, it makes provision for the selection Of fit
men possessing special qualifications. 1t
makes the Common Council the judge of their
competency, which is all the power that body
can usefully exert in a business 50
purely administrative. The bill re-
quires the Mayor and Common Council
to appoint three commissioners to establish
routes decide on plans and prescribe all the
details of construction. Before any route or
plan is adopted it must have the concurrence
Of the Mayor and majority of the commits
sioners. These being decided on the Mayor
adyertises for proposals to construct the work.
but the bill binds him and the commissioners
to accept no bids which they do not think
advantageous TO the city. If none Of the bids
are satisfactory the Mayor is to advertise
again for new proposals. This method IS safe
and practical. If the bill passes the commits
sioners will be appointed at once and the sur
veys prosecuted with vigor. The routes and
mode Of construction will probably be de-
cided on before the end of summer and tho
work let out to contractors in the early
autumn months. We hope this bill will pass
both houses and DO signed by the Governor
before the session closes and enable Us to gain
one full year in forwarding this Indispensable
means OF promoting the growth OF the city,
the convenience of our citizens and the value
OF our property.

The Yachting Season.

The reluctant May will not disturb our
gallant yachtsmen, who care nothing for Q
spring squall In fact, wet sheet and
flowing sea are among the attractions Of this
noble and genuine enjoyment. New York has
advantages for the yachtsman surpassed by
no other city in the world. Here is the bay,
the Sound, the Hudson, and the broad ocean
within easy reach. The club house on Staten
Island will be worthy of the club, and, if our
hopes are not derkened, there will be a season
of unusual gayety and enjoyment within its
walls this summer The programme for the
regattas and races and the cruises will give
our yachtsmen abundant opportunity TO show
their prowess and their speed. The yacht
club is one Of those New York institutions
which has grown in character, influence and
usefulness since its foundation. IL has always
been kept at the highest standard, and never
more so than under its new officers. The aim
of the club has been to nationalize yachting,
to encourage a taste for this finest Of all
amusements among gentlemen, and to con-
tribute to the science Of boat building and
navigation. We should inherit q taste for the
sea il We have anything Of the Viking in our
blood. The fact Of our being here at all will
certify to that, remembering the stormy time
or even sailing yachts. We rejoice in the
prosperity Of the club, and congratulate its
members and our citizens who take interest
in yachting upon the prospects Of the coming
