Government Without Law.

There seems" says that bitterly Radi-
cal journal, the Baltimore american, "to
be 4 general tendency now to sec how much
religion man can have without faith. We
have come to that pass where large num-
bcrs OF good men who reject the truth Of
the Scriptures, and even the existence Of
God, desire, nevertheless, to have Il religion
and even a church." The american belongs
to party which is conducted on principles
similar to those referred to above. The
Republicans manilcsta general tendency to
see how much government they can have
without law. We have come to that pass
where large numbers not OF good men, but Of
such men as BEAST BUTLER and his allies,
who reject the truths OF the fathers, and
even repudiate the Constitution, desire,
nevertheless, to hold the offices. They wish
to hold OH to the Government, but they
have no respect ior constitutions and laws,
or for the peoples rights.

New York.

We guessed Alright the other day rs to the
Republican nomination for Governor OF
New York. Ex-Governor MORGAN received
it. He is a stro4g man-that is to say, Il
popular one. His candidacy renders it alb
solutcly necessary that the Democrats shall
select their most popular man is his COM
petitor in the gu5crnatorial race. Weknow
not who that man is. \. III. GREEN is the
man whom we had considered the most
available; but the strenuous opposition which
he meets with in New York city seems to
indicate that POTTER or DoRSHEIMEE will
after al be the lucky person. So much de-
ponds upon proper selection, and the lead
ing Democrats OF New York are so shrewd
and so capable OF managing well their own
affairs, that we feel confident the nominee
will he m excellent one even il not the best
one possible. The Democratic State Con-
rention will meet next Wednesday.

to the time when organic union will tpke
place. tits, we are confident, q question Of
time only--a few years, more or less. N oth-t
ing can prevent it but q too rapid adapta-
ton Of the two bodies to their surround
ings; and even then these surroundings
must be totally different in the cases OF the
two Churches.
p. 81 No. 2.-Haying read the paper Is
sued by the commissioners OF the two
Churches, we are prepared to say that in
our opinion it takes long stride towards
organic reunion. The rules adopted for
the government OF the local congregations
in places where there is church property in
dispute seem to us to be fair and just.
There need be no more trouble between the
two denominations il this agreement be
carried out according to its spirit. 1t will
resulta.in vast saving OF money. The
northern Church will not hereafter subsidize
churches in the South, we take it for granted.
What is to be done with Bishop HAVEN and
some others OF the northern preachers whose
breath is agitation, we are not informed.
Perhaps they will be allowed to carry on
their work OF spreading discord between
the whites and the blacks OF the South; but
we hope not. The future will soon tel
what is to come OF this most important OF
| all the "new movements" that the country
has seen since the close OF the war.

How to Advertise.

The Nirginians are said by the people OF
other States to have too high an opinion OF
their own importance. Whether this be
true or not, one might infer from some Of
the advertisements which appear in Viz
ginia papers that the advertisers take ii for
granted that everybody knows them. But
such advertisements ought to go ont OF
fashion now. Here is specimen copy:
"FOR SALE.-Thc subscriber has for
sale large lot OF [anything YOU please.l
"JOHN JONES'
Now, we claim TO know as many people
in Richmond as almost anybody else who is
not a policeman or public officer, and yet
when we see advertisements OF this sort it
is frequently the case that we have not the
rcmotcst idea as to where the advertiser can
be found. lie may reside either in Scream
ersvlllc or in Fulton, so far as we know.
For some persons it is waste OF
money to advertise in this careless
manner. The advertisement reaches
none but the acquaintance OF the
advertiser. Richmond has outgroWn her
village condition. There are seventy thou
sand people here. Recently distinguished
Doctor OF Divinity, known all over the
United States, who has resided in Richmond
for scores Of years, and lawyer equally dis
tinguiShcd WHO has resided here still longer
than the clergyman in question, met in our
office. When the one went out the other,
very much to our surprise, inquired who
l,o oh nd
could safely advertise his wants without
stating the street OF the number
OF his residence or place OF business, either
OF these gentlemen surely could; and ii
anybody in Richmond might be certainly
assumed to be known 10 either one Of the
two, it would be the other OF them. The
lesson is, State in your advertisements the
street and number OF your place OF bust
ness or Westinghouse.
Here is another specimen OF these curt
advertisements. We looked into the Gen.
tral PreS6Weri0n of this week to ascertain
where our old presbytery would meet this
fall, and found the following:
"Roanoke PreSbytery will meet at Spring
Hill church on Wednesday the 9th of Sep
TENDER, az II NJ
Now, as we claim to be so familiar with
this Presbytery, it may be said that we
ought to know where "Sprng-Hill church'
is and we admit that we ought TO know;
but we don't. Buffalo church we know,
and Briery. and Rough Creek, and College,
and Farmyille, and AppomattoX; but not
Spring Hill; but some even OF these are not
within the bounds OF Roanoke Prcsbytery,
we think; and so we make our own igno-
rance IN excuse for lccturing other people
on their shortcomings as advertisers.

hr. HEWITT, OF New \ DIRK, made Il speech
il that city few days. ago, in which he de-
clared "the republic could not last four
years longer with the same rule that it had
had for the past eight years. 1t was not 4
government Of Justice, but a government OF
personal favorS. No man could get any
thirg because he was entitled to it by right,
but rs personal favor" He also spoke OF
Governor TILDES as Il sagacious and sue
cessful man OF business, as the wisest man
he had ever known, and us honest rs any
man he had ever known, and AS patriotic q
man as ever breathed the breath OF life.
Immense applause.l
Mr.. HEWITT would make Il capital candi-
date for Governor. Why not nominate
him. He is certainly Il modest man. We
suppose that few OF those who conversed
with him en- route to st. Louis suspected
him OF being able to encounter and over
throw such giant as KAssoS, of Iowa.
But this he did.

denomination of Governor Walker.
The Convention for this district yestcr-
day By reclamation nominated Ex-Governor
WALKER for reelection to the House OF
Representative from this district. II we
had said that the Convention reelected him,
we would not have been far wrong; for in
this district-and especially in the case OF
Governor WALKER, who is what is called
phenomenally popular mana nomination
by the Conservative party is almost equiya-
lent to an election by the peo-
Pile There had been waged against
Governor WALKER q persona! war,
which no doubt contributed to the
unanimity OF his nomination. The people
will not stand idly by and see faithful pub
lie servant traduced. They are almost GER
tain to rally TO his defence and support. 1t
must have been doubly grateful to Governor
WALKERS feelings to know that all the at
tacks which had been made upon him had
not been able to prevent his denomination
by q unanimous vote.
Governor WAIVER is not man OF bril-
liant talents. He is not even successful
LAWYER. But he is blessed with an eXtraor-
binary quantity OF good horsc-Sense-com-
mon sensc--that is, strong pcrccptive pow
ers. q judgment almost infallibic, and ability
to adapt the means at his command to the
end which ne has in view. He has not dis
tinguished himself. III the House OF Repre-
sentatiycs by making great speech, it
is true; but Il is also true that he has
not furnished any ammunition for tepubli-
can speakers, rs some Of his party friends
from the South have done. He is 4 man
whom we can trust to represent our inter-
ests. He may not get much applause; but
he will do whatever work is to bc done.
The intermnable takers caused the disso.
luton OF the Union; and when it was dis
solved, it was found that the interminablt
takers could as Il rule get more fight
inc than they wanted in the course
OF one revolving moon. Governor
WALKER has, however, made one or moro
very good spccchcs-iust rs many rs there
was any occasion for him to make.
We hayc already said that Governor
WALKER will be reelected. Ii he has oppo
sition, twill be merely Quaker-gun oppo
sition. His opponent will run for the honor
OF the racc--perhalS with the hope that i
HAYES should be elected he will pension hin

1t is already evident that there is not to
be at present an organic union between The
Methodist Episcopal Church and the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South. "A mani
nous agreement OF complete fraternity" is
Ill that has been accomplished; and this
may be better than organic union.
Nevertheless, the organic rcGnion OF the
two Churches will certainly be effected be-
fore many years shall have elapsed, unless
the process OF differentiation in the methods
OF church government shall SO on more
rapidly than the desire for union (and for
the vast effectiveness which union would
Sive) shall increase. There is no Diff
ference at all that we know Of between the
TWO denominations on doctrinal points.
Ihey are both episcopal churches. They
both have the fifth wheel OF the presiding
eldershS. The one has q large lay repre-
seentation in its legislative bodies. The
other, we think, has, II any, a smaller pro-
portion OF lay representation. There is much
prejudice, however, yet obstructing the road
10 organic union--preiudice on both sides;
and sense OF wrongs endured from the
northern church on the part OF the southern.
P.s.-Since writing beforegoing we have
received a letter from the Rev. III. G.
5GHEArHAa, in which he says that the work
done by the agents OF the two Churches is

above. We differ with Dir. CHEATHAM as

Editors Dispatch:
Dear Sirs,-I have just read your article
on the Methodist Churches. While you are
waiting for Latferty's decision permit me
to make brief statement Of facts. There
have never been any commissioners ap-
pointed or delegates elected to effect re-
union of the NJ. E. Church (Northern
Methodist) and the NJ. E. Church South, or
to find basis for such retinion, or to con-
slider any question looking to such re-
union. The question OF the rednlon OF tne
two Churches has never been mooted or
limited at in the General Conference OF
either Church. It is but the smallest hS-
ment of the Southern Methodist Church
who desires such thing or dreams OF 1t
ever taking place. The speakers IN tne
General Conference OF both Churches who
have spoken on the subject Of Jraternat re-
intions between the two Churches have been
prompt to dsclaim any thought or in
tention OF organic reitnion. In my
opinion there is nothing farther OIL
than the reunion OF these two Churches, not
even the judgment, and there Is nothing
more undesirable in this life.
The question OF fraternity between the
two Churches has been discussed, promoted,
and carried forward nearly to accomplish
ment. This, of course, is good and de-
sirable thing. There were certain difficult
ties growing out OF property claimed by
both Churches, which stood in the way OF n
complete and cordial fraternity. Commits
sioners were appointed by the General Con-
ferences OF the two Churches to adjust these
questions OF property, and thus remove the
barriers to genuine fraternity-not re'Sn'on
by any means. I suppose these commits
sionerS have done their work satisfactorily,
which gave existence to the telegram IN
your columns OF this morning.

TERRIBLE GCNPOwDER EXPLOSI0N.-Short-
" before II o'clock Yesterday forenoon 4
terrific explosion was heard in the neigh
borhood OF Baltimore and Stricken streets,
frightening residents and pedestrians, and
leading them to believe that something OF
a serious nature had occurred. AS soon as
the momentary excitement had subsidized it
was discovered that flames and smoke were
issuing from the grocery store or Mr.. }. w.
Riggs, No. 9O3 west Baltimore street. and
an alarm was at once sounded from Box 3d.
to which the fire department promptly re-
spondcd. The store and house overhead
were found to be completely wrecked, the
walls being scattered and the windows
blown into fragments. The flames were
soon subdued, when Mr. Riggs stated he
had stepped out OF the store for few mo-
ments prior to the explosion, and on return
ing and seeing blaze behind the counter
asked his clerk, Frank Kraft, to ascertain
the cause. The young man had no sooner
gone behind the counter than the explosion
burst on all Of them like thunder-bolt. The
store was filled with dense smoke and the
stock in trade was scattered in every direc-
ton. Mrs. KeySer, who rents the building
overhead, had considerable quantity OF her
furniture irretrierably ruined. Several beau
tiful vases which were placed on the mantel
were totally destroyed, as also several yalu-
able pictures, which were blown from the
walls. Mrs. Keyser, who was at the
time standing in a room OF her
house. was lifted several feet into the
air by the force OF the explosion. \
keg OF powder, containing twenty-five
pounds OF that explosive substance, was
placed under the counter on pile Of wrap
ping-paper, and it was afterwards suggest
ed that match had been dropped on the
floor, setting fire to the paper, and from
thence communicating with the key. Mr..
Riggs and Mr.. Kraft, as did all others
around, escaped with few slight abrasions
of the skin. The house is owned by Mrs.
Nancy Smith. and the loss on the building
is estimated at $1,000, while Mr.. Riggs esti-
mates his loss at $1,000. The damage done
to Mrs. Keyser's furniture was also consid-
cradle, but all was covered by insurance.
After an inspection and examination by In
spector Holloway it was found that the
walls were i'll tottering condition, and it
is probable that the building will be torn
