HOT AND sULPHUROUS,

Preach the gospel earnestly-people are
not satisfied with milk-and- water sermons,
they want and need gospel sermons that are
hot and "smell of hell. bishop Hapen.
We extract the above unique sentence
from an address Of Bishop Haven to can
didates for the ministry, in the Philadel.
phia Conference, yesterday. His Righ,
Reverence is determined to become notori-
ous. His Boston speech in favor Of Grant
kicked up tolerably tall rumpus; the
"smell of HE'LL will not soon evaporate
but hover about the Bishops skirts fo
many a day.
"Hell was dismissed with costs" fev
weeks ago-by the Privy Council in Eng
land--or in other words legally closed
but the Right Reverend Gilbert Havel
believes in no such nonsense, as he think
it an institution useful and handy for
preacher, to make his sermon hot. Ha
the Bishop "bee in his bonnet?"

THE contest which takes place in Con-
necticut on Monday promises to be close
one. According to the present outlook
there is bare possibility, but not proba-
bility that the Republicans will carry the
State. Last year Governor Ingersol was
elected by majority Of 6,54s, but the
general sweep Of the political tide Of the
late election has been against the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Ingersol's present competitor,
Mr.. Robinson, is a strong and popular
candidate, and the most the Connecticut
Democrats can expect this year is to barely
save the State, owing to the current which
is running SO strongly against them.

In YESTERDAY mornings HERALD
appeared an article headed "An Ugly
Rumor," which was given by the reporter
as a rHmor that came to his ears the day
previous. In publishing it we admit tnat
he was hasty, and should have searched
further before giving it publication, as
wounds are more easily inflicted than
healed. We are confident that it is of no
foundation, as is we'll attested by card in
another column, but was circulated, and
imposed upon the HERALD, by some Of
the unscrupulous news and scandal
mongers Of which, we reluctantly admit,
Wilmington possesses many.

Next day, his alligatorship was caught
and cut open, and the little negro was
rescued. The fifteenth amendment has
had its Moses, and now we have persona
fed another of the Bible notables, aJonah

General Robsrt q. Echsnck, lsas Minis'
Ter to the Couft Of 81. James, is hying d
prove himself to Be fool, in order ia
avoid being called q knave or some ugliel
name. That he managed to get into his
present scrape proves not 50 much that he
is q fool, as that he made a mistake, not
withstanding his shrewdness. He asks
us to believe too much when he states as
he did before the Committee on Foreign
Relations Of the House of Representatives,
that it never occurred to him that Park,
in offering him the Emma Mine shares on
peculiarly advantageous terms, and solicit
ing him to become member of the Board
of Directors, was seeking to secure the in
duence Of his official position.
When it is notorious that Schenck is
one of the shrewdest politicians in the
country, and that the school he was edu-
Gated in was calculated to sharpen his
wits, he cannot plead ignorance in the
Emma Mine case. He cannot make the
people believe that he is an innocent
AbigaiP'--a youngster just out Of school
and unsophisticated in the wicked ways Of
this wicked world. He has been all his
long wicked public life accustomed to hav-
ing his influence sought for under all man
ner Of pretexts, and the people of the
country will not believe him when he
tells them that he innoceatly and igno-
rantly stumbled into the trap set for him
by the Emma Mine Spectators. Mr..
Schenck does not figure to advantage in
the character Of an innocent fool.

GENERAL HEDR4cK, of Keokuk, {
man who appears to have been still nearer
to G eneral Belknap than even Genera

about $4,000 out of his influence with
the War Secretary. This influential
friend of Belknap-this revenue assessor
of Mr.. Grant will, be before Clymer's Com

articles which simply cover the Fort Sill

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.

The Harrisburg Republican platform
has shouldered on the Democratic party
all the political sins Of the country, and
took on to itself all the political virtues.
Ifpolitical platforms honestly expressed
the principles of parties, this would he
the, most honest government in the world.
If one years platform with either of
the great political parties of the country,
differs from another, it is in the excess Of
it's virtue and morality, and a yearn'ng
fol better government and better men at
the head and tail of it. But most W.
happily, party political Platforms are not
altogether as indicative Of their authors
principles as they should be. From lAe
perusal Of some Republican journals one
would suppose that the Harrisburg plat
form absorbed in itself all the political
virtues of the country, but when we re-
member how far short the Republicans
fell from carrying out the fine promises
in their platform Of 1872, when Gen.
Grant was re.nomina,ed, we lose faith in
party pledges. The chief plank in the
Republican platform adopted at the Con-
:vention that re.nominated the present
Chief Executive, and the one which more
than any other served to elect him, WAS
that Of the Civil Service reform, and we
all know how that plank has been re-
parded since his reelection. We admit
that there was something beautifully
touching in its demand for official integr;-
ty, but alas, how has that principle been
respected and carried out?
The President and all down to the low
est subordinate have labored to kick Civil
Service Reform out Of existence, and to
organize band of corruptionists, whose
crimes have brought disgrace and ruin
upon the whole country. The Civil Ser,
vice part of the Republican platform was
not desired by the Republican leaders, and
was only put in to beguile the people te
vote for their candidate. And, now again
the Harrisburg platform insults, the com
n sense Of the people with the same ole

SENATOR BAYAkD.
Bravely, and brilliantly spoken. There
are charges to be only answered by a blow,
or an insult equal to blow. Treason is
one. The unremitting ISLANDERS of Sena-
ators such as Morton and Boutwell, cannot
be met with argument: they are
baseless, and have no foundation in fact /;
hence tn 'ir utterers are in that regard So
cial kanditti, and a. to be treated as Bay
ard treated Boutwell,: We are slow indeed
to approve ebullitious 81 temper, but Bout
welrs disregard Of alt propriety,: in attack
ing Mr.. Bayard, while speaking by the
courtesy otthat gentleman, deserved the in
suit he received. He has his redress and
no doubt it would be promptly accorded if
sought. 1t is full time, that the cant of
disloyalty, was stamped out. The blood
of hundreds of thousands of Democratic
soldiers have baptized their party, as the
true champion of we'll ordered liberty.
Delaware sends back her approval of the
courage, and chivalry of her Senator, an
it is not confined to the Democracy. Very
many Republican citizens, are loud in
their praise of the manliness of retort,
which cuts like a Whip.
