MOODY AND SANKEY IN NEW YORK
The New York Tribune says that the first
appearance In New York OF the revivalists,
Moody and Sankey, on Monday night, was
before an audience larger than the metropo-
lis ever witnessed before. Fully seven
thousand persons were seated in the main
hail. The overflow of those disappointed in
obtaining entrance filled the small hall
which seats four thousand persons, and
probably five thousand persons stood outside
In the streets listening TO the singing. The
audience in both halls was OF the most re-
spectacle character, and the order maintain
ed was perfect On the platform nearly
every Protestant denomination was repre-
scented by one or more of it's most distin-
guished clergymen. The various other
learned professions were represented by
some OF the most prominent lawyers, physi-
clans, scientists and editors in the metr0po-
lis. The sermon delivered by Mr.. Moody was
regarded by those interested and active In
the revival movement as the most powerful
one with which he has initiated REVEALS in
ally OF the great cities.

WHAT WILL THEY Do WITH Mr. Powr,S2
The examining committee of PlymOuth
church have hot as yet received any reply to
their request asking Mr.. Bowen to meet
them TINS evening TO give proofs OF the facts
in his possession against Mr. Beecher's
moral character, and it was intimated last
night that Mr.. Bowen would not attend bat
that he might send to the committee a
written paper instead. When Mr. Boweu's
attention was called last evening TO the at
teJ3pt by Mr.. Shearman to prove by Old let
tets written by Mr.. Bowen 10 Mr.. Bsecher
that Mr.. Bowen was friendly. even afIaction-
ate, at the time when he is reputed TO be
filled with aversion, Mr.. Bowen said thai an
ne mad ever said OF written was susceptihIe
OF the most Intelligent explanation. In the
trlpartlte covenant he had said that he knew
OF no reason why he could not receive Mr.,
Beecher as his pastor. That was because
lney had agreed TO bury the past, TO forget
All, and in consequence there was no reaSon
al mat time why he could not so accept Mr.
Beecher.-IN y Sun. Sfh.

Gen. BabcOcE,s Trial,

THE PROCEEDINGS YESTERD
After our Geographic report of the ifIsl OF
Gen. Ba bcock at st. Louis closed Yesterday,
the district attorney cited several dispatches
alleged TO have passed between Joyce,
Mcdonald, Avery, and BaocOck, to show
that the two latter persons were engaged I'm
the conspiracy, end correspondent with the
cODspiratorS. The dispatches between Joyce
ana Eabcock, touching the appointment OF
Col. Constantine Mcguire as collector of in
terpai revenue after the death OF Charles w.
Ford were cited. and Col. Dyer stated that il
would he proved that from that time on the
Defendant furnished information to the ring.
The department was thwarted In all It's
efforts 70 get an investigation that would
reveal the frauds, for the reason that ali
revenue agents sent 10 examine the affairs
were either bought up on their arrival or adj
vices had been received of their contem-
plated visits, and opportunity was thus
given to distilleTs TO stra ghten ND and show
regular work. Dyer claimed that IL would
be clearly shown that Babcock not only had
full knowledge OF the existence of frauds
which were carried on, but that ne aided the
consplrators In their work, and received
money directly from Joyce, who mailed IL
70 him. Babcock and Avery were the two
men at Washington who kept the ring
posted, even after the Indictment of Gen
Mcdonald. Babcock, it would be proved,
was in secret correspondence with him.
The evidence, Col. Dyer said, would IN "A
not be a link missing in the chain.
Joseph M. F1tzroy was then put on III"
witness stand for the prosecution, and wa
asked Dy District Attorney Dyer TO state
what he knew about G. O. Negrue, his opera
tions here in 1871, etc, TO which Judge Krum,
OF the defense, objected, on the ground that
such statement would be only or q hearshy
Character. Witness then began to speak
about Megrue, when the defence objected
and be was withdrawn and Mr.. Thompson
distilIer, was called TO the stand. He gave
a his tory Of his connection with the ring,
and explained how he made crooked whisky,
&c, &C., all OF which has been stated numer-
Gus times before. FItZroy was then recalled,
and Col. Dyer asked him If Megrue eyer paid
him any money. Storrs objected to any
thing more pertaining to what he called the
Megrue conspiracy. He said Thompson has
testified that ii ended in 1872 and the prosecu-
ton, in opening, stated the same thing, and
the court adjourned.

acted upon by the Legislature. AS
before stated, tho Patriot is in favor of
Tilden for the Presidency It was
originally started as a greenback paper,
and in the early days of its existence,
was especially hostile to Tilden In
June last it alluded to him editorially
as follows:

it, but the great mass would rebel not

Southern Claims.

Following is copy of the bill in
troduced by Mr. FL. T. Riddle, repre-
sentative in Congress from the Fourth
district of Tennessee, Feb. 20, 1876.
1t was read twice, referred to the COM
mlttee on judiciary. ordered to be
printed, and can now be taken up and
passed whenever the Democracy get
full control IF the sew eral branches of
the Government:
A Bill directing compensation to be
allowed for the use and occupation
OF property by the United States
almy during the late war.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Am
erica in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary Of War be, and
is hereby authorized to allow reasona
BILE compensation to all citizens of the
United States for the use and occupa-
ton of their property by the United
States army, or any part thereof, du-
ring the late Civil War, in the same
manner and under the. same regula-
tons as compensation is now allowed
for Quartermas'ers stores used by the
army: Provided, however, That the
affidavit of the claimant, supported by
the competent testimony of any repu-
table citizen, shall be sufficient proof
to establish the tact of the use and oc
cupanon of such property by said
army But it is not the intention of
this act to limit the parties to the
amount of proof herein specified, out
other and additional testimony may be
taken to establish the fact of the use
and occupation, and the rental value of
the property occupied
The offic al records Of Congress show
that claims amounting to too billions,
J50e hundred and ninety-threc millions,
sac hundred and tacenty-tuo thousand,
three hundred and eighty sin doNors,
(S2. 593 ,622, 1856, or sum exceeding
by far the national debt. have already
been presented by the confederates in
Congress, and ONLY await the election
of Tilden and Democratic majority
in both houses, for favorable action.
How do the people fancy the idea Of
paying the rebels for the rent of their
houses and property occupied by our
troops when putting down the rebel
lion? And what do they think of the
plan proposed By the Democrats to re-
imburse the enemies of the Govern
ment for all the mules and cotton they
lost during the war IF they want
these claims allowed and paid and the
national treasury bankrupted, let them
elect Democratic President and Con-
gress. A vote for Tilden and Harlow
s. Orion is declaration in favor Of
that very thing. So long as the Re-
publicans are in power, no danger need
be apprehended that such fraudulent
claims can or will be paid. The only
barriers that stand in the way are
President Grant and Republican
Senate. Let the people. if they would
be wise, see to it that the only party
opposed to such ruinous legislation is
retained in power. Then do not fail
to vote for Hayes and Wheeler and
for the Republican candidate for Con-
gress, L. B. Caswell.

wrote to his girl proposing Immediate

to his wasnerwoman to say Elf yon

got the girls letter and the girl got
the washerWoman's letter, and there
was dire confusion until the necessary
explanations were made. 1t was moth
ing, however, compared with that
which has been created in the Demo-
cratic ranks by the blunder made in
sending q loyal letter to southern
paper and disloyal letter to northern
paper. Greater care will probably be
exercised in tho future that nothing of
this kind occurs agaia. and puts the

The Leroy Charge against Gov.
Hayes.

The Democrat Of last week revived
the charge against Gov Hayes of hav-
ing when in the army retained ST 900
in his possession belonging to SOL
der in bis regiment named Leroy.
We shall not devote much space to the
matter, as no sensible person, it is be-
lived, gives credence to the story
The Democrat. in order to make
prime .facie case publishes certain let
ters said to have been written to the
father of young Leroy by Gov. Hayes,
but the fact is that no such letters
were ever written. They are down :
right forgeries. In LeRoy's orig 'nal
statement he pretended to have recev-
ed certain letters from Gov. Hayes,
out said that they had either been mis-
laid or certainly suspicious
circumstance. He said further that
the letters which are published were
given wholly from recollection but
believed to be substantially as in the
originals. This fact the Democrat
suppresses. That paper also tells what
is not true when it says that there has
been no denial or explanation of the
charge made by Leroy The truth
is that al examination Of the army
records was made some time ago and
the following facts cleaned which were
published at the time:
That Nelson j. Leroy did not receive
his local bounty due from Youngstown,
Ohio. bur that his mother collected it
after Nelson's death
That Nelson j Leroy did not receive
800 as veteran bounty, but only Sll0
the remainder being collected by his
mother.
That Nelson j. Leroy was paid his
monthly pay in full up to Jan. 81, 1864;
was paid his 500 bounty and sixty
dollars, first installment Of $500 veter-
an bounty, all on tbs 3lst of Jan. 1864
That in February, 1864, just after
being paid, he went home on veteran
furlough. and that when his time had
had expired he had spent all his mon
ely except what he had delivered over
to bis mother, and wrote to a oomrade
in camp, who sent him money to re-
turn With.
That Nelson j Leroy after his re-
turn TO camp and before his death on
ly received $50, $50 as second install
ment as veteran bounty, and $50 as
pay from Jan 81 to April 30. 1864.
This amount was paid him Aug. 20,
1854, just three weeks before his death
Tat Nelson J. Leroy always sent
portion of his money to his mother,
and that Mrs Leroy had received all
the back pay aud bounty due her son
after his death.
Iaus it will be seen that Gov.
Hayes stands completely exonerated
in the matter, and we are surprised any
one should be brazen enough to reiter-
ate the charge which was long ago SO
efectually squelched The exigepc ies
of Tia reform" cause, we presume,
are such as to make it matter Of ne
cessity in the absence of anything else
to bring against our candidate.

JEFF. Davis.

The Tilden crowd has received
another valuable accession In the per-
son of jeff. Davis, which will be cheer
ing news to Major Gardner, who will
be glad to learn that his chief and he
are found no less united now than they
were ia the time of the rebellion. Jeff
he's written letter upon the presiden-
sial question, expressing great hopes Of

10 the Presidency would be the signal
for a general return to America Of the
Confsdsrahe exiles now in England,
who will all be on guard at the inaug-
Srstion, delighted to meet old friends
in Washington. Under the new and
improved State Of things Davis himself
would, he says, reside permanently In
Washington, ready to take such po-
.; ton in the Democratic Administers
ton as the Solid South should de-
mand for its former chieftain. We
shsll try and find room for Davis let
