A method of bronzing cast iron, recently
introduced In Paris, Is said TO render the copper
so thoroughly adherent to the iron that, II an ac-
cident happens, the cast iron will sometimes
scale OF with the copper: 1t IL said, moreover
that the deposit OF copper Ia perfectly even not
thicker on salient parts than In hollows or I'M
der cuttings. Mention IL made Of number Of
huge statues having been covered with copper
by this method, and, among other works, two
bulls larger than nature, presenting each a sur
face OF at least one hundred and thirty two
square feet, and on vases, candelabra, and de-
coratiye astlngs OF every kind-all with invar-
able success-and the copper deposited on the
works is never less than l-l0Oths OF an inch In
thickness. 1t Is stated that the cost of these
works Is not more than doubled by this valuable
annlIeation, aud the copper, when carefully

The Cincinnati gazette intimates that
the Independent Voters will meet with a dini-
Guilty when they hold a convention at Cincinnati
IN May next to nominate CHARLES FRANCIS
ADAMS for President We hope not II would
be too great pity. The gazette thinks that II
the convention Is MADE up of delegates, some
fellow like GRATz Brown OF CAssIus NJ. CLAY
who wants TO be Vice-President, NAV manage
to get some other man than ADAMS at the head
Of the ticket. and thus defeat the great design.
There is something in this, We lament to say,
for although Mr.. ADAMS is an eminent states
man and would make n flrst-rate President, he
is unfortunately not popular with the numerous
candidates for the second of our ofAces. Hut
since this contingency IL now exclaimed and I'm
derstood, we have faith that IL will be obviated.

Marshal MURAT HAISTEAD about IT, Between
them they cannot fail to arrive at the true in
wardness Of the matter.

One of the strong points Of the young
editor OF the Powerful Mind is not legal acu-
men. Censuring Mr.. MouLToE for demanding
the trial Of the indictment against him. It says
the BEECHER Issue has been moro thoroughly
tried than It will ever be again. No new evil
denoe exists which can bring mems minds, still
divided upon 1t, to a more definite conclusion
than was reached on the Hrst trial" What stun /!
The HEECHER case has never been thoroughly
tried, and the unused evidence is OF vital i'm
portance. II Is that OF Mrs. TfLToN herself, Mr..
and Mrs. RICHARDS, Henry c. Bowen, SUSAN
II. ANTHONY, Mrs. MORSE, FLORENCE TiLToN,
Mrs. BRADSHAW, and VICTORIA Woodruff.
The young editor advises Mr.. BRIrToN and the
county judge, as II he was a sort OF court OF
appeals, to refuse to listen to Mr.. MouIToN's
demand for trial, on the ground that to grant
his prayer would be only 10 crafty q single in
diyidual. This IL absurd. Whether one or a
thousand Individuals are concerned, the obliga-
lions OF Justice the same. A man indicted,
stained with q criminal charge solemnly prefer
red bv Grand Jury Of his fellow citizens, has
an undoubted right TO demand that the indict-
mont shall be tried and he given the opportunity
TO publicly acquit himself Of its damaging i'm
putation. The young editor seems TO regard the
charge Of lying as n very small matter. regarding
which the policy Of silence is the true method
OF proceeding. He was a month or two ago him
self by name accused by the Times, in an article
daily republlshed for weeks, OF heing libeller
and liar, and yet he made no defence. Such a

Evoning Press Enterprise.

We print in another column an article
from the Evening Telegram, which will be in
teresting as marking a step 10 the progress OF
afternoon journalism. The Telegram an
nounces that it has made arrangements to
print daily, at noon, a cable despatch giving
the exact report of the money markets and
the state of trade in London at the close of
the market. The difference of time between
London and New York enSbsss the telegram
to print such a.despatch at noon. When it is
noon in New York it is nearly five o'clock in
the afternoon in London. This is a new
feature in afternoon journalism and that
must necessarily belong to the afternoon
press. The especial function of that branch
OF journalism is to keep the people through
the day informed of the events that may
occur from hour to hour. In a business
point of view this Will be a great advantage.
Complaints have at times been made of
errors creeping into the daily reports sent
around to bankers and brokers by news
companies and telegraph agents. 1t is
feared, too, that these reports have been
changed for purpose by malicious
spectators with intent to deceive
the public. ''The Telegram quotations., Z"
however, will always be a check upon
the general commercial news dispatches.
If the merchant doubts whether the despatch
which he receives in the ordinary course of
his business from London is correct he can
verify it by looking into the Telegram. BY
this means what it costs the merchants who
subscribe to the news agencies large fees is
furnished for two cents, and gives, as our con-
temporary well remarks, ''every merchant and
broker trustworthy authority by which
to verify the prices of shares and values.
We note this step in the progress of the even
ing journalism of the country, because any
thing which tends to strengthen our great
calling and to make the newspaper, whether
morning or evening, necessity to business
life, is an evidence of national advancement.
Our contemporary also publishes an affidavit
from its business manager, to the effect that
during the month of June it published fifty
five thousand FIVE hundred and fifty copies,
being an average of over twenty-one thousand
copies a day, and that this business was prac-
tically continued during July. These are the
warm, dull months of the year, and circula-
ton of this kind in an afternoon paper is
worthy of note, and is, we presume the
largest that has yet been attained by any
evening journal in the country.

easy to dislodge, and Governor Nilden would
have failed, as his enemies predicted, had
not the press of the city and State sustained
and supported him. The results already
achieved are honorable alike to an indie
pendent Governor and an independentYress.
The Ring is broken The malversatiOns of
corrupt contractors and their partners are
likely to be punished. The tolls on the
canals have been lowered while taxation is
reduced. The standard of public and official
morality has been elevated, and the public
conscience quickened to demand better and
purer administration. These are the fruits
Governor Tilden claims as the first offerings
of his reform policy, and he is entitled to
much credit because his claim is 80 well sus-
tanned.
We have already said that this question of
canal reform is no mere partisan question.
AT the same time it appeals to parties with
as much force as to individuals. Neither the
democratic nor the republican State conven-
ton can afford to pass the question by in
silence. Both parties must have a canal
plank in their platforms, and the declaration
for canal reform must be no mere form of
words. To be acceptable to the peo-
pie it must be borne out by deeds.
The party nominations, especially in
the case of candidates for the Legisla-
ture, must be unimpeachable The farce of
last winter, with legislators impeding the
policy of reform and playing into the hands
of the enemies Of the true interests of the
people and the State, must not be repeated
this year. The Canal Ring, like the Tweed
Ring, must be completely crushed, and be-
ing crushed it must not be possible for it
ever to exert its power for evil. Our canals
are too important to the interests of the city,
the State and, indeed, the whole country, to
be tempered with and destroyed by any cor
rupt ring which seeks merely to enrich its
members at the public expense.

Moody and Sankey.

The return of the now celebrated revival
lists, Messrs. Moody and Sankey, will, no
doubt, be the occasion of an outburst of re-
ligious enthusiasm as fervent and as general
as that which swept over the British Isles in
response to the efforts of the American apos-
ties. In an age that prides itself on its intel
lect and that demands proofs and reasons for
its faith, it is noteworthy that two men, with
no other recommendation than their deep
conviction and simple enthusiasm, should
have given new life to the languishing
churches of the British isles The strides
made by indifferentism among all sects of
Christians in England during the past years
aroused grave fears among thoughtful men
that we were rapidly approaching period
of general unbelief and it remained for two
unknown Americans to lift the British people
out of that Slough Of Despond, the spirit
of Indifference and unbelief When we see
the wonderful results accomplished by these
two men of large faith we can understand
how was accomplished the work of
the early apostles-poor, lowly men,
with but little of the worlds learning, but
who spoke with ''tongues of fire" and hearts
burning with zeal in the cause of Christianity.
In spite of the sneers of the English press at
their earlier efforts and the GOODNESS of even
the ministers of religion, who were shocked
at the democratic preaching and procedure
of the men who spoke of salvation and the
word of God without other authority than
the spirit within which moved and inspired
them, the two Americans gathered about them
the people and called to repentance thou
sands whose hearts had never been touched
by the colder and more formal appeals of the
benefited clergy. We give in another
column resume of the good work accom-
plished by Messrs. Moody and Sankey in
England, from which some idea may be
formed of the great influence they have exer-
cised over the religious thought of the
British people. We hope that they will not
cease from the labor Of saving souls in which
they have so successfully engaged. Here in
their own country there is a wide scope for
the exercise of that magnetic power which
they have shown themselves to possess in
calling sinners to repentance and blazoning
forth the words Of salvation.

British Law.

Justice Brett in refusing the application
made by Colonel Baker to be tried by
special jury gave another proof of the indie
pendence and stern justice of the British law
courts when dealing with persons charged
with criminal offences. Had the application
made by Colonel Baker been granted it is
probable he would have escaped merited
punishment for the outrage he COM
mitted against Miss Dickinson. The
Court too, would have laid itself open to the
charge of having one law for the rich and
another for the poor condition Of things
against which the British mind strongly re-
volts. Colonel Baker was well known as tho
intimate friend of the Prince on
Wales, and, had it been possible
to induce Justice Brett to wink at
the transferring of the trial to the Court OF
Queens Bench, it is probable the mater
would have been hushed up. But Justice
Brett stood up for the law and refused TO
allow any juggling with Justice We
already know the result. Brought be-
fore jury of his countrymen-of
the common people whom he despised-
the gallant Colonel Of the Tenth
Hussars was found guilty Of indecent as
sault, and sent to Jail like any other rVtffian.
There is in this stern and equal administers
ton OF the law lesson our own Judges could
study with advantage. Among us, notW1th-
standing our supposed democracy, the law
somehow does not hold the rich and poor
with equal grip. The poor rogue goes to
State Prison while the wealthy rascal Zoo
often goes free.
