When time was called for tho grand match OF the

sary sermon by the Rev. DR.. John NJ. Reid
at the old John street Methodist church.
In sketching the progress Of Methodism in
this country DR.. Reid took his hearers over
the entire history of its institution in Eng
land, and claimed for that Church the dis
tinction Of being best adapted to the saliva
tion OF mankind. Mr. rockingham, at the
Masonic Temple, discussed the spiritual
man, and at Chickering Hall the Rev.
Samuel Colcord spoke on the subject
OF Profit and Loss" as applied to salvation.
Gods covenant with man furnished Mr..
Hepworth with an interesting subject,
which he eloquently treated at the Church
OF the Disciples DR.. Fowler's eulogy OF
the late Bishop James was an affectionate
tribute to the deceased from one who recog-
nized his merits as scholar and missionary
The great doctrine Of penance as a necessity
to salvation was ably elucidated by Father
Hogan at ST. Patricks Cathedral, and Mr..
Beecher's sermon on justification was
listened to by crowded audience of Cen
tennial visitors at Plymouth church.
The New York herald., 1876-10-30
The Weather.

Locally the weather conditions have
changed rapidly during the last twenty
four hours, owing to the movement of an
area of high pressure over the region be-
tween the lakes and the Middle Atlantic
coast This area now separates the two of
low pressure central in Dakota and over
Newfoundland the eastward movement of
the latter being very slow. The depression
developing eastward owing to the pres
ence of the high pressure on its
line of advance. A remarkable increase
of temperature accompanies this dis
turbance, the thermometer at Pembina
indicating sixty-one degrees, at Omaha
seventy-five degrees, at st. Louis and Leav-
venworth seventy-nine degrees and at Cairo
eighty-one degrees last evening Along the
front of the storm area the temperature is
low, with rains extending from Louisville
and Pittsburg to Duluth. 1t is probable
that high winds will be experienced on the
lakes during the ensuing week. The veloc-
ity of the northwesterly wind at North
Platte yesterday afternoon was twenty -eight
miles per hour. As it is the barometric
gradient eastward is very steep, and we may
therefore look for sharp blow as the storm
advances. The weather at New York to-day
promises to be warmer and partly cloudy,
possibly with light rain at intervals.

CHURCH AND STATE.-The interference OF
the French government to prevent the Arch
diocese of Lyons from being split into two
diocescs has probably shade of political
meaning which Americans will best under
stand by the damage that one political
party occasionally suffers at the hands Of
another from the process known as redis-
tricting. That is as near an analogy as we
can get. Another reason, and strong one,
is that the government would have to pay an
extra archbishop, and pious as MacMahon
is he probably thinks France pays enough
lust now for her clerical whistle.

Cham bsrl.in. .Trae Inw.rsnsss.-

When the Governor of State Calls upon
the federal government for protectionka against
insurrection, and the President of the United
States in compliance with that appeal, hur-
ries federal troops to the points indicated, il
is in the highest degree salutary to examine
thoroughly the condition ofaffairs which gives
motive to the action. Every particle Of
testimony that can throw light upon the
transaction should be weighed; for prece-
dents in such matters should not be estab-
lished except upon the fullest understand.
ing of the special need for such extreme
measures. Governor Chamberlain's defence
Of his call for troops must be weighed with
all statements attempting to show the
merely partisan nature of the cry for
troops, even if the mass of evidence on
the other side breaks it down utterly. The
letter from Senator Randolph, of New Jersey,
which we publish elsewhere, contains in
moderate compass summary of the situa-
ton in South Carolina, which leaves Gov
ernor Chamberlain scarcely shred of the
clumsily woven fabric out of which he made
the latest bloody shirt. 1t at the same time
sheds quite new light upon the Governors
necessity for troops. 1t would seem that
Chamberlain seeks protection from the hon
est members of his own party more than
from the terrible white democrats. The Gov
ernor's excuse--want Of money-for not
calling the Legislature together (from whom.
If convenable, the appeal should have come)
is admirably disposed Of. The members
would in any case have had to provide the
expenses. The real reason is however, laid
bare-namely, that the malcontent republi.
can members of the South Carolina Legisla-
ture would have kicked in the harness and
refused to bring a needless discredt on tho
State. BY appealing directly to the Presi-
dent Chamberlain avoided all this disaster
to his canvass. If the appeal were not
listened to he would be no worse
off than before; but if sustained by
federal bayonets he hoped to drive
the citizens of the State literally into op-
posing camps, SO that any concert of action
between the white and negro races to pre-
vent his own reelection would be impossi.
BILE. The evidence is direct that the respect
able republicans who proposed to scratch
determined to vote for Hayes That would
not suit Chamberlain. He must have hot
blooded canvass to make fusion impossible.
1t would be great stain upon the intelli-
gence of the Palmetto State if turbulence
like this, once unmaslzed, should succeed.

M. du Sommerari Called to Account.
The extra ct from the Journal 0ffciei pub
lished in our special despatch from Paris
tells tersely how extremely the French gov
ernment disapproves the atrocious senti-
ments contained in the letter attributed to
M. du Sommerard, and how it reprobates the
act of high French functionary in circulat-
ing them. In France, where the official is
always the mouthpiece of the government,
he is expected to guard his utterance and
regulate his life so strictly that no word or
deed of his shall be inconsistent with gov
ernmental policy or offensive to the relations
of France with the rest of the world While
this strict personal accountability is some
what foreign to American official life, and
while we do not care to discuss the desira-
bility of making our functionaries as
straitlaccd rs those of Europe, we must
mark our approval of the prompt action of
President MacMahon in dealing with the
matter MS it comes before him in the shane
of breach of official etiquette and an Of
fence against international comfy. The
answer of M. du Sommerard to the grave ac-
cusation of having written such base calum-
nies upon the good name of the United
States is awaited. That America will
feel grateful for this summary call
ing to account of the Chief French
Commissioner is true, but we do not
believe for a moment that Americans would
be at all satisfied with mere perfunctory
solution. That the statements contained in
the letter of NJ. du Sommerard in the Frgdro
are shamelessly libellous to the last degree
fortunately makes the refutation of such of
them as are discussable among decent men
easy. We should not, for instance think it
required any strong language to convince
the world that we are not Il nation of incen-
diaries, who burn or attempt to burn every
Frenchmans property that finds itself on
our soil. We think, indeed, that it
would require more malignant ingenuity
than could be possessed by any hundred
French Commissioners to convince fifth
class idiot of the converse Of the proposition.
What any dirty-minded individual would
write or any European newspaper of easy vir-
tue would print rejecting upon the morals
of American ladies is not worth notice on
this side Of the Atlantic. Such being the
character of the libels bearing the name of
Nj. du Sommerard we are glad to find that
the Marquis de Tallcyrand, himself an official
of the Exhibition, promptly squelched the
incendiary story and that the French gov
crnmcnt is prepared to signify officially its
displeasurc il the offence is fixed upon NJ.

The Water supply and tho Public
Health.

In the timely presentation made by the
Grand Jury, through its foreman, Mr..
Charles H. Haswell regarding the unneces-
sary waste of the Croton water, it was pur-
posed to call attention to the extravagant
quantity used in washing sidewalks as we'll
as in the sprinkling of the streets. 1t is
estimated that with steady rainy weather it
would require more than one month to fill
the reservoirs hence the necessity of a strict
observance of the recommendations of the
Grand Jury and of the requirements of the
Croton Aqueduct Department is really
matter Of necessity for the public safety.
The Sanitary Board has called attention to
the danger of the escape of sewer gas in
private dwellings where, in consequence OF
the weakness of the supply, the water will
not run in the upper stories. The board
recommends that in all such cases water
should occasionally be thrown down the
waste pipes in wash basins, closets and
baths which are thus unsupplied. This is
a useful precaution, and one which may
prevent much sickness in the city if gen.
erally used. 1t is we'll also to leave the
faucets turned on and the waste pipe open
in oil upper stories during the night, as in
some instances the increased pressure car
ries the water up, and thus affords the op.
portunities to wash ont the pipes.

Only Four Hundred Miles.

We cannot conceal a sense of disappoint-
ment at the return Of the English North Po-
lar Expedition without having accomplished
it's direct object. Captain Hall pushed the
little Polaris, vessel but poorly adapted to
it's task, to within four hundred and sixty
four miles of the Pole, and the English ex-
pedition, under Captain Nares only reached
sixty-four miles further in sledges. His ad-
vance vessel-the Alert-wintered in lati-
tude SO deg 81 sec., while the Polaris had
wintered in latitude 81 deg. 3S sec. Here is
certainly slight advance but are we to con-
slider that this is the limit ? DIR. Hayes in
1860, with dog sledges, explored as high as
50 deg. As sec., or only forty miles short
of Captain Mares furthest. Parry reached
the same latitude north of Spltzbergen in
1927, and Captain Scoresby, in the Spitz-
bergen Sea. touched 81 deg. 30 sec. in 1906,
or within five hundred and ten miles of the
Pole. The efforts in the direction of the
Arctic during seventy years, therefore, repre-
sent total advance of one hundred and ten
miles. No Polar expedition went forth so
we'll equipped and under such favorable
auspices as that which has just returned.
Doubtless no pains were spared by any per-
son in the entire expedition to accomplish
oil that could be achieved but we may here
note our surprise that single winters ex-
perience was deemed to establish conclu-
sively their inability to reach the Pole.
Why, for 6nstance, was not one of the ves-
sells despatched south, after landing her
stores before the ice closed, to return with
the open water bearing fresh supplies? The
experience of all explorers who have adopted
the Smith Sound route has taught that the
real effort begins at the eighty-second par
allel, and hence, if Arctic exploration is not
at an end, arrangements must be made in
future expeditions for n journey northward
on boat sledges of four hundred and eighty
miles. The terrors, the enormous difficult
ties of such a journey, are pictured in the
one fact that the heroic sledge party from
the Alert could not advance more than a
mile a day. If this speed cannot be bet
tered Of course discovery northward is at
an end The contributions to our
knowledge Of the Arctic regions will
doubtless prove considerable, the tracing
of the coast line of the American
continent two hundred and twenty
miles to the west of Greenland and con-
siderable distance to the east, in all, prob
ably, onc-fifth of the circumference of the rim
of the Polar Unknown being especially val
liable Captain Nnres declares emphatically
against Kane's open Polar sea. Below the
eighty-second parallel animal life and the
migration of birds cease. Beyond all is ice,
ice, ice. 1.-The impracticability of reaching
the Pole was proved, he says. If that has
been fully demonstrated by one winters
effort we can permanently resign the North
Pole to the romancers who have had it SO
long. But has it been?
