Views OF the Religious Press.

The religious press this week is far from
being a unit on the topics discussed. Mr..
Beecher in his Christian Union, extends q
hearty welcome to the evangelists Moody
and Sankey, and wishes there were a hun
dred like them to engage in similar work.
After stating and answering all the objections
that are usually made against reviyds and
revivalists the Union says Christian minis
tiers ought to rejoice when auxiliary men are
raised up to take heed to neglected work.
For itself the Union will do oil in its power
to encourage and help the revivalists in
Brooklyn. DIR. Talmage, in the Christian at
Work, declares that Brooklyn is ready for
work, but the expected revival will
not be all peaceful and easy. There
will be much opposition, but the
truth will triumph. There are men living in
Brooklyn, says DIR. Talmage, who are five
thousand miles away from church. There is
an illimitable desert between them and the
house of God, and the evangelists will carry
the Gospel to some of these. The Obseruer
is not quite so sanguine Of q revival of any
great proportions or lasting in its results as
it was q short while ago. 1t says many good
and wise men doubt the propriety of extra
ordinary efforts to revive religion and con-
vert sinners. Whether religious revivals are
blessings or O curse to the Church, says the
Observer, depends wholly on whether they
are of God under the guidance Of the Holy
Spirit and Of judicious men, or whether they
are of human production. We have had re-
vival excitements in the past, it says,
which have left the churches like arid,
parched and desolate plains, instead Of being
refreshed and watered as the garden Of the
Lord. Tho Observer, however, does not
think that Messrs. Moody and Sankey will
produce any such results by their ministry
among us. The Baptist Weekly is confident
that, whether the evangelists come here or
not, we shall have O great work of revival
and conversion here. All the signs reveal a
deepening and intensifying of the interest
and expectation on this matter. The
prayer meetings, it says, show
growing attendance and fervency in
supplication. The Christian Leader la
bors hard to show, at least by indirection,
that Mr.. Moody teaches Universalist doctrine,
because he has said that while God hates
sin He loves sinners and sent His Son into
the world to seek and to save the lost. The
Leader says this search must be continued
until all the lost are saved. because God is

The New York Legislators and Alder

The city Of New York has not heretofore
done itself credit in its selection of legis-
lators and Aldermen. "A metropolis with
taxable property valued in round numbers
at twelve hundred million dollars, with a
growing debt Of one hundred and fifty mill
ions and an annual taxation closely ap-
preaching forty millions, ought to confde
its lawmaking and taxing interests only in
the hands Of responsible and capable
citizens But the Assemblymen, Aldermen
and Senators who have represented New
York in the State Legislature and the
Common Council have not generally full
filed these requirements. This has been
principally due to the fact that the nomina-
tions on the democratic side have been in the
gift of the leaders who have from time to
time held control of the Tammany organiza-
ton, and that the democratic majority has
been large enough to elect the regular
democratic nominees. The republicans,
having no hope Of success except from the
superior character and qualifications of their
candidates. have, as general rule, put for
ward better class Of men for these offices
but they have only occasionally succeeded in
electing them. We have, therefore, too
often been represented in our Legislative
bodies by political adventures, destitute of
character, responsibility, integrity or ca
pacity, and the natural results have been
corruption in the local administrations and
destruction of the interests of property and
capital.
We have now an amended constitution
that promises some protection to property
and some safeguards against official corrup-
ton But the business and financial inter-
ests of the city are in such o condition that
it is imperatively necessary to secure honest
and able representatives in the bodies that
make our laws and local ordinances and con-
troll our taxation. Public Improvements are
at standstill real estate is crushed be-
meath the double burden of heavy taxation
and policy of suffocation the growth of
the city is checked, and, as a consequence,
business generally is stagnant. There is no
good reason why New York should be suffer-
ing under these evils, for we have good
prospects before us if we would avail our
selves of our natural advantages. With inn
proved docks and rapid transit we should
speedily double our present population and
commerce. To secure these it is necessary
that we should stop political plundering and
economic wherever economy is wise and
practicable. But as preliminary to such
reforms in our local government we must
have capable, responsible and reputable rep
resentatives at Albany and in our Common
Council chamber. If the present political
leaders overlook these facts in their nomina-
tions it is TO be hoped that the people who
cast the votes will not ignore them when they
go to the polls.

JOHN KELLY, IN THE ROLE Of King Carrot,
does not raise the character Of New York in
the estimation Of people outside the city
The Hudson Star says:-'John X. Hackett,
the able, fearless and incorporating Re
corder of New York city, alike terror to the
dangerous classes and a safeguard to the
rights and property Of the honest citizen, is
to be thrown overheard by Tammany Hall,
because he refuses to place the patronage Of
his Court at the disposal Of John Kelly. The
politicians Of New York have no use for an
honest man in Office" But the people have
use for Recorder Hackett, and they will elect
him in spite Of the politicians.
The New York herald., 1875-10-17

The ATTEMPT OF JOHN KELLY to drive Re.
corder Hackett from the Bench is everywhere
rebuked. The Washington Chronicle says
Recorder Hackett, of New York, is said to
be an honest man. For this reason Tam
many shuts the door in his face The re-
publicans have indorsed him and the better
class of democrats will support him. 1t ia
hoped that through this union at least one
honest man will be elected in New York.
The people Of New York will take care, not
only that the fearless and able Recorder
shall be reelected, but that all the Judge
ships now to be chosen and the District At
torney's Office shall be kept out of the
clutches of Kelly's nominees.
The New York herald., 1875-10-17

POLITICAL AFFAIRS in the northern districts
of the State are nearly as lively as even in
the metropolis In the Senatorial district
composed of the three counties of Broome,
Tioga and Tompkins the attitude of the
liberals is matter of perplexity to the dem
ocrats and republicans, but it is thought
they will return to the fold of the latter.
Charges and counter charges against the
candidates are numerous, and shrewd and
sharp politicians are at the wires.

BosToN ADDS Her VOICE to swell tho pop
ular condemnation Of Kellys attempt to
place the Judiciary under the heel Of Tam
many The Traveller says:-"R Recorder
Hackett, Of Msw York, refused to make
places in his court for tools of Tamman;,
and Tammany pays him off by nominating
another man for the place he has filled in q
manner that has made him the terror Of evil
doers. Efforts will be made to re-elect him
by the better class of men Of all parties.
Yes, and the efforts will be successful The
peoples candidates will be elected by ma
jority large enough to rebuke the arrogance
of John Kelly, who forced the Tammany
Convention to reject Recorder Hackett.

everlasting iove the search must be success
ful, because God is omnipotent. But this
logic will work both ways, and, pushed
to its ultimate, it may be found to
prove too much even for Universalism. Try
again, Brother Lee. A correspondent Of the
Evangelist urges the ministry and the
Churches to give up looking for revival srby
and by" and to look and labor for it at
once, and it will surely come. The hope put
off paralyzes the efforts for immediate re-
suits. The Examiner and Chronicle corrects
an impression which some of its secular con-
temporaries gave out last week that the
Baptist pastors of this city were opposed to
Moody and Sankey. The contrary, however,
is the fact, as evinced by the earnest resolu-
tions adopted by the Southern New York
Baptist Association at its annual session
few days ago. None have been moro
cordial in their expressions of well
come and Endorsement Of the evangelists
than the Baptist pastors of this city.
