tho back seats reserved for paupers while
their richer brethren carry on their devo-
tiops in the choice reserved seats of the
temple, and pity the low estate Of the un-
fortunates behind their backs.
There is uuquestionably one incongruity
in permitting material wealth to have an
advantage in the house of COP. Many
evils attend the practice. 1t begets in the
rich a sort of SNUG sense of superiority;
gives n kind OF religious support to the
vulgar pretensions of wealth fosters pious
snobbery; tends TO make the minister
stretch a point in his explanation of the
parable OF the camel and the needles eye
which involves q very great and divine
truth; enables, as Bishop POTTER says,
people to use the church MS an avenue to
social consideration; affords mercantile
and other frauds n hiding place for their
humbug or knavery; and finally, II drives
away the poor to whom CHRIST came to
preach the Gospel The voice OF the
preacher denouncing sin may not stir the
hearts Of his Fifth avenue audience, who
are thanking heaven that they are not as
the people are down in wicked Avenue A
or Ba. Ster street. The sleek Pensioners
deem IL fashionable to do little something
in the way OF organ zed charity. The socie-
ties for this purpise formed within the rich
church offer the best avenue possible for
attaining that social consideration which
Bishop POTTER says so many of the pew
holders are after. The hand that gives
may be willing. but IL is also patronizing;
and that Is something the poor don't like.
Yet IT is not easy to say how the churches
can get on without the pew system. Their
expenses are heavy-the pastors salary,
the interest on the debt incurred for the
land and building. the pay OF the quar-
tet In the choir, the sections stipend-all
must be met, and the total Is large. Per-
haps the way so generally adopted by Ro-
man Catholic churches OF charging every
worshipper each Sunday and at ench SER
vice a small fee for his seat. might help to
obviate the evil. Free churches, dependent
for their support on the voluntary offer
ings of the devout, each giving according
to his substance, perhaps best realize the
aim of Christianity. II is such ms these
that Bishop POTTER favors.
Without further discussing this grave
question ourselves at this time, we turn 1t
over TO our religious readers, lay and cler-
ical, for their own consideration. agreeing
with the Bishop that the needed reform
will not be the work of q day nor Of q
year

Who Is Running 7

About thirty-seven years ago WILLIAM
II. SEWARD happened to he travelling by
stage coach near Lake Champlain, where
his person was not much known. IL being
pleasant day, he took his scat with the
driver on the box. Chatting familiarly
upon various subjects they hit upon poll
tics, and Mr.. SEWARD inquired about some
of the leading men in that region. In this
way the driver asked him, who Is Gov
ernor of New York - WILLIAM II. SEW
ARD" was the quiet reply OF his Excel
lency. mot by a ID sightl" was the
response OF the driver. "THURLow WEED
is Governor Of this State now"
The driver vas mistaken. we think. Ger
tainly he was partially iii error, for Mr..
SEWARD, though much under the influence
OF Mr.. WEED, was still the Governor.
THURLow WEED, nevertheless. though
not nominally Governor, filled the Gov
ernor's office in great degree from Janu-
airy. 1859, to January, 1868, when Mr.. NOR
GAN bore the title. With the same candi-
date in the field, he is now aspiring 10 the
place for third term. We don't believe
he will reach 1t. But to make sure, all those
who don't want Mr.. WEED for Governor
had better cast their ballots for LUcIUs
RoBEsoN.

RAILROAD OPERATIONS.
The Hauling Power of "A Forty-Ave-Ton En-
gine-Letter from nn Engineer.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: Your
article Of the Esd inst, entitled president
Garrett and the Railroad War" embodies an
error OF fact, which have no doubt you will
permit me to correct and which Is found IN the
following statement, to wit:
1t is well known that on some portions Of the Balti
more ana Ohio Railroad forynve-ton engine will maui
but eight cars
The heaviest grades OF the road referred to are
those on its Third Division, which extends from
keyser to Grafton. and crosses the Allegheny
Mountains, including the seventeen-mile grade
Of 1l6 feet per mile for seventeen consecutive
miles, and Cranberry grade, eleven miles long
and having the same average inclination. Por-
tions OF each Of those, however, are as steep as
l25 feet per mile.
The only fofty-nve-ton engines which the Bal
timore and OHIO Railroad Company own are OF
the consolidation" pattern. and are in daily
use upon this ana other divisions. In the ordi-
nary working Of the road, the load of Two Of
these engines up the grades named, at a speed
OF ten mites per hour Zone engine acting as "A

two constructions; hs referring ei.her To the

PeWs In Churches.

Bishop POTTER of the Episcopal Church
made some remarks on Monday, at the
dedication Of Grace Chapel, in Fourteenth
street, opposite the Academy of Music,
which are provocative OF thought. TIE
Bishop SAID that i'll the Church OF England
the system of rented pews was "as verify
n decaying and vanishing usage as is the
use of the whipping post or imprisonment
for debt" With us, however, the system
l. the rather spreading, even the Metho-
dists and Roman Catholics adopting il.
The causes for the growth of the pew
system in III country, as given by Bishop
POTTER, SAVIOR OF the satlrcal but lie
spoke with gravity. lie holds that
the chief cause is the desire of the
people 10 gain social consequence by sit
ting in ilrst-class pew In hrst-oass
church. People struggling for social pre-
CCdenCc, and who are willing to buy ii at
any cost do not grudge the rental they may
have TO pay for pew in Fifth avenue or
Madison avenue church, even though II
equal that OF IA ComioT table house, SO long
MS they can be seen by IN, ir nelghbors sit
ting in it, Some people take II box Mt the
opera TO secure tins end; Others prefer II
oonsp cuous pew in conspicuous charch,
into which tho family may dcvouty file rs
the service Is woll started. Therefore, IA
the Bishop remarked, IL happens that
many of our chul ohes are composed al
most entirely of people OF great wealth ~
at least ample means. Poor people, or
people la only moderate circumstances,
can't afford to worship at so expen-
slvs rate nor do thoy care TO be showed m

neuvres. We wish also that his doctor had given
us some account Of the nature Of Ills aiIment.
We wish also that his pious cousin md Informed
us whether he was drunk when the devil made
his appearance to him. We have heard Of liquor
drinkers who, In certain conditions OF body and
mind, saw snakes 10 the air, felt snakes In their
boots, and etasped snakes with their hands.
Now, perhaps the devil appeared to the colored
man. as he appeared to ADAM and EVE, in the
form OF a serpent. II we Can get proper test-
mony on this point, we will further consider the
