These two champion Oh cago re.
vivalists are now creating great excite
ment in England. People flock tc
hear their preaching by thousands and
tens of thousands. Moody breaches
and Sankey sings. What, then, is the
r, cret of their great power over the
people no man can say, for they are
neither learned nor eloquent, no. of
specially commanding presence, yet
wherever they go, Moody preaching
and Sankey singing, men fall down
overcome by a consciousness of their
fallen sinful condition, and with tears
aud groans ask what they shall d. to
be saved. Especially does this seem
strange when We find the nan telling
the people that if the kingdom of GOD
would overcome the kingdom of the
devil it must adopt the tactics Grant
used in the capture Of Richmond.
Says Moody:
When General Grant was before
/ edmond, he called a council of his
officers who advised him to retreat, but
before morning the order was sent
uud, advance in solid column on
the enemy at day break" The result
Was the end of the rebellion. Chris
fians in London should advance in
solid column on the enemy, aud sue
c,-~s would follow.
We do not wish to be harsh or m
charitable, but candor would compel
lis TO say, if we had the ear of our
English friends. that in our humble
Judgment the less men walk in
Grants ways the more apt will they be-
TO reach the "land of pure delight
v here saints immortal reign"

THE POSTAL FRAUDS.

4 Washington dis patch says: s'The
knowing ones profess to observe signs
Of lukewarmness in the investigations
which have been promised into the
mail contracts. It is alleged that
enough has already been discovered to
indicate the great probability that ex-
tensive frauds in the mail contracts
date back to the administration of
President Lincoln, and that the skirts
of several prominent officials in the
past fifteen years would be found to
be not altogether clean. Some say
that Hines will get eff on some tech
nicality because he..knowssm more than it
would be comfortable to divulge.
What gives color to these rumors is
the fact that several Radical meml ers
of Congress now in the city have tx
pressed themselves unfavorably toward
any investigation which will be likely
to catch the big fish.

E.s kwaRp, Turn nACkw.uD,

The advent of the Centennials of
me,ican Independence seems to have
produced a complete revolution IN the
b" 'its of thought, speech and action
Of the people of this country. "Bacl =
ward. turn backward, oh, time, n
b., flight" is the burden of the song
hnd the events and Incidents Of q
hundred years ago are usurping the
ttres and troubles and the trials and
(rlbulations of to-day. Every body is
aiding up on American history, both
Efate and National, and we live in the
bl!ist of musty tones and antiquated
newspapers, rendered almost illegible
BY age and decay. Sectional differ
Noes and sectional animosities and
tr fes have been laid aside, and the
memories of the united struggles Of
i,e olden time are the incitors to
rhrist's doctrine of peace and charity
nd brotherly love. Tt is the prayer
4 all good men everywhere, that
be nation may emerge from its
rst grand anniversary with the public
cart chastened and subdued through
ie sorrows and misconceptions
he past into kindly feeling of
rafferty, love that shall sweep to the
inds the last vestige of the sectional
aired that has SO terribly warped
pei distorted this fair land of ours.
et the dead past bury its own dead.
I'd let reunited people rejoice
gether over the grave where their
ferences have been buried, let us
