Moody aud Sankey gave their closing meet
ing id Brooklyn, N Y, last night, when the
rink was crowded to suffocation, while the
meeting at Sampson Church, 10 charge of the
evangelist Needham, was crowded to overflow

attended the meetings of Moody and Saukey
during their visit to Brooklyn. The number
of converts is very large, the principal power
having been felt among the young men.

The VALUE OF WOOD ASHES TO WHEAT
Why is 1t, when growing wheat or rye is being
struck with rust, that little plot here and
there where stuups, logs or brush have been
burned to ashes, will be bright and free from
the attack of rust? Because the growing plants
employ potash and silica not only to give stiff
ness aud rlgidity to the straw, but to form, as
1t we're, CLASSY coat of mail over the surface
OF every loaf, CLONE and straw, to fortify the
tender and delicate parts against the att scks

We all know how rea lily substances 10 the at

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON expresses MS regret at
the Faneull Hail meeting for several reasons,
among which were the following: This 'protest"
Is simply summary begging OF the question on
lying kilograms, coined In the mint OF disioyalty
Tor the basest purposes. II IS In open and hagrant
contempt OF the united testimony Of the loyal por-
ton or Louisiana, aud increduous acceptance Of the
shrieklng averments OF seditious and bloodstained
enemies OF free government as the only reliable
version OF the matter III dispute For the line or
evidence is as distinctly drawn between THESE con-
tending parties as 1t was in the days OF the rebel

one party and utter apostacy OF the other IL has
come to pass that they who sought 10 destroy the

protected in the enjoyment or equal civil and

Office, well knowing that they wouid
rob the people; and after they had
fulfilled its expectations, it permitted
them to escape with their plunder--
money coined from the sweat of the
laboring poor What wonder that
such party, led and controlled by
such men and strengthened and fos-
tered by such means, should fall apart
from sheer rottenness 1t is severed
in the middle, and so rotten is either
end, that both offend the nostrils
alike. What wonder that the leaders
of these two bundles of corruption
should villify, traduce aud malign
each other: The people have a right
to expect a veriiication of the old adj
age, that when thieves fall out, honest
men come by their due. With
PHELPS, SARGENT and GORuAM on
one side, and BIDwELL, BOOTH and
SWIFT on the other, it will be won
der indeed if the pot fails to call and
prove the kettle exceedingly black.
Already SARGENT has charged and
produced evidence to prove that BID
WELL holds thousands of acres of land
to which he has no title. GoRHAM is
fitting from stump to stump, and
from each he impeaches the honesty
Of intention and integrity of purpose
of the great Independent leader
NEWTON BOOTH. Equally, perhaps
more damaging charges are hurled
back from the other side, and the
fight wakes warm and strong. Can
anything good come out of Nazareth?
Yes; lightning purifies the atmos-
phere, and the roll of thunder, though
it adde's eggs, is followed by the re-
freshing shower, which is the harbin-
ger of peace and prosperity. The peo-
pie have cause to rejoice, for the day
of their deliverance is near.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chronicle
charges that Miss BELLA PATEMAN,
an English actress now playing at the
California Theatre, made remarks on
the Fourth of July uncomplimentary
to the American flag. Miss PATEMAN
denies the charge and says that she
never said or intended to say anything
disrespectful of our flag. We accept
the lady's statement, but suppose she
did give expression to some light and
meaningless remark about the Gamer
lean rag" what are we going to do
about it? Shall a newspaper scribbler
hiss this young English girl from the
stage and drive her from the country
for saying less than HORACE GREELEY
when he wrote, "All hail the Haunting
lie"? We have heard a member of the
Union League consign the Constitu-
tion to his Satanic Majesty's King
dom and swear that no Democrat
should be permitted to remain in the
country; yet the loyal gentleman still
lives and the flag still waves.

Yesterday the body of the murdered

The Contendlng Forces.

Thanks to the untiring efforts of
their ablest leaders, the chasm which
divides the Independent and Republic
can parties is deepening and widen
ing with that celebrity which marks
the fulfillment of fate's DEGREES. These
two organizations are made up in the
main Of men who only few years
ago trained under the same flag, stood
on the same platform and avowed
their answering adherence to the
same principles. They were the party
of purity and reform, Of superior in
telligence and higher law doctrine.
They acknowledged no power save
that of party and conceded no right
which confiicted with or threatened
their self-assumed supremacy. The
self-styled party of reform, they in
augurated and maintained the most
expensive and corrupt government
that ever the nation has been called
upon to support. Boosting its origin
to be with and Of the people, the Re-
publican party heaped taxation on the
masses until the load became so gall
ing and oppressive that it would have
bred riot and rebellion among any
other people on the face of the globe.
The vaunted preserver of The Union,
this party plundered, oppressed and
sought to crush the life from the re-
bellious States afor a period of ten
years after they had acknowledged
their error and returned to their alle-
glance. While protesting its purity,
this party has appointed thieves to
