Pulpit Topics To-Day.

Two great and notable ecclesiastics. who
have recently exchanged labor for reward
Bishop Cummins, of the Reformed Episco-
pal Church, and Bishop James, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church-will be specially
remembered to-day by their religious and
personal friends, Rev. Mr. Sabine and DR..
Fowler and others. The Reformation of the
sixteenth century, which indirectly pro-
duced those men, will receive the attention
of Dr. Krotel while Mr.. Muir presents the
claims of Christian maniness on his people.
and DR.. Goodspeed urges young men to
better trust than that on which they rest
outside Of Christ. Mr. Giles seems intent
scientists by pitting Swedenborgian revela-
ton against geological revelation. He will
point out mans place in creation and show
how he is related to God on one side and
differs from animals on the other. He will
prove that the material universe exists
only for the preservation of mankind !;
that all the earths in the universe
are but the seminaries Of humanity.
and that every inhabitant of the heavens
and of the hells was once a material boino
on some globe in the physical universe. But
Mr.. Mccarthy is equally ready to prove
that there is no such thing as everlasting
punishment and no such place as hell, and
Professor Adler is ready also to expound the
theory of rewards and punishments as re-
lated to the Immortality of man. Mr.. Wake

dependent voter will exercise that one OF
the inalienable rights Of an American citizen
with uncommon freedom next election day.
Meantime we repeat that good deal de-
pends on the vote of New York. Both, or
rather all, parties, will do well to leave
nothing undone to secure large share OF
the registered vote. When we hear the talk
of the politicians of all parties we are con-
vinced that this present election is un-
usually uncertain. The democrats claim
the State by from sixty to seventy thousand
majority; the republicans are sanguine that
they will carry it by fifty thousand; MIR.
Cooper is too willy and astute politician to
let his estimates be known, but he would be
more or less than human in such year as
this if he reckoned on less than twenty-five
thousand; and Mr. Green would probably
growl that the city was without gratitude
if it gave him less than hundred
thousand. The independent voter, counting
up on his fingers Ill these amazing and graft
flying maiorities, is more than ever con-
vinced that no course is safe or prudent for
him except to vote for the best man and
trust to the counting of the ballots for the
rest. 1t is, as the leaders of all parties have
solemnly assured us, in public as yell as
privately, a most critical time for the Re-
public If either Tilden or Hayes or
Cooper is elected we could bring affidayits
of eminent citizens to prove that our
liberties will be gone that prosperity will
sail from our shores in the first steamer /;
that our bonds will be worthless, except
so far as they can be sold as curiosities, and
that our public credit will be as ragged as
a last years political banner. On the other
hand, and not to leave the independent
to produce affidavits of eqally eminent men
to certify that if either Tilden, Hayes
or Cooper is elected, the country
will enter at once on a career of unparalleled
prosperity; that our credit will be good for
thousands of millions our liberties so safe
that the most anxious citizen may securely 60
to bed, and, in short, everything will be
lovely. Under these solemn circumstances
it seems to us advisable for the republicans
to find, as soon rs they can, candidate for
the Mayoralty Of such resplendent abilities
and unprecedented popularity as to give
him at least as great o majority in this
city as the combined estimated majorities
of all the Presidential candidates in the
State. If they can do this they will secure
gratifying success.

Advice Gratis to Comptroller Green

Advice Gratis to Comptroller Green.
Our interest in the fortunes of Mr.. Green
does not cease. When he received and ac-
cepted the unanimous nomination of the
contractors we applauded. When the con-
tractors were followed by deputation of
the blind men we showed our appreciation of
this important accession to Mr. Green's
strength by urging the organ grinders to
come forward and speak out like men. But
the organ grinders seem to US to take good
deal Of time to make up their minds, and
meanwhile there is a cessation of delegations.
and matters do not look SO prosperous for Mr..
Green. He could receive two, or even per-
haps three delegations day, and in the last
week he has received none Does he forget
that only ten days remain until the eventful
morning when, ballot in hand, the citizen
of New York will 60 forth to decide who
shall be Mayor? There is still time; at tho
rate of three delegations n day Mr. Green
might receive before election day say twenty
one societies and his plan of getting
himself elected by such pocket constituent
cies is so novel and SO ingenious that we
should like to see it have fair trial. He
ought to summon n deputation of the Ethno-
logical Society, and another of the Metro
logical Society; the American Microscoplcal
Society would be an important accession to
his banners; the Colonization Society might
give him useful hints on q timely subject;
the services of the Genealogical and Bio
graphical Society would be important as a
means of perpetuating his memory after the
election; and the support of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks would be in
valuable, as he will readily see.
But these are only few Of the societies,
deputations from whose halls ought to

rally dislike to expose their little ones to the
modification of appearing shabbily clad.
This is an abuse which ought to be reme-
died. The public schools are for all the
children, and parents who are pros
porous ought to take care that they do not,
by needless indulgence to their children,
arouse spirit of caste and make the schools
disagreeable to the children of the poor.

with their poor attire. The poor child goea

school until the hardly earned money Of its
parents is expended in more costly clothing.

cannot go at all" Is not this shameful
picture of society which calls itself Chris
tian and democratic?
One of the most important uses Of the pub
lie schools is to bring together the children
Of all classes. the rich and the poor; to cause
them to know each other at an age when il
may be supposed class distinctions are not
felt; and thus to give to the prosperous
kindly and Christian relation to the less
fortunate of the community. But if parents

necessarily raise a barrier between their chill
dren and those Of the poor which mus
harden and injure their own, while
it makes the public schools, to large
extent, useless to the people whose children
they ought in an especial manner to take
in. We shall recur to this subject again, as
well as to some other points raised by our
correspondent.

Tweed at Sea.

Through the long dreary watches of yes
terday the revenue cutters, with their damp
wings outstretched, waited around the Light
ship for Tweed. and he did not come. If
that West Indian hurricane has had him in
its parabolic curve Sheriff Conner may not
see his old friend until after the election.
Such things as forty days passage from
Vigo are'not unknown, but it is confidently
expected that the heroic old American tub,
the franklin, will do it in about thirty
two. If he should only arrive to receive
the election returns announcing the elec-
ton of Tilden it would hardly add to his
satisfaction at seeing the new tin roof
on Castle Garden. Yet it would be so like
his luck that it would scarcely surprise even
the Boss himself to see his arithmetical
enemy mounting into the Presidential chair
on the ruins of the Ring as he hoped into
the Governorship. We suppose that as the
Boss rolls back and forth on the Atlantic bill
lows he must cast an occasional thought on
his old cronies of the Court House. Per-
haps the thing which will most astonish him
on his arrival will be the sight of the board
ing around the rear of that marble monu-
ment of misappropriation. His liveliest
pang of regret will be that the work of fin
ishing it has fallen upon men who will not
be able to make it yield so large O profit as
he wonld, no matter how earnest their inten-
tions. ''Oh, for o day of Sweeny and Slip
perry Dick r he will murmur Dreams Of
Watsons, with ribs proof against the erratic
poles of runaway sleighs; of Sweenys more

Tammany republicans than those that came

less his experience has taught him that the
must attend. strictly to his business and not
let the dreamers who wish to stretch his
prehensile plans until they embrace the
nation in their tentacles interfere with
him. When he was tempted to think of
making his puppet Governor into n puppet
President he lost his head and his hold.
The old fable of tho dog who dropped his
stolen bone to snap Mt its magnifed image
in the water was written in vain for the
Tammany thieves. All these things will
enter the mind Of Big Six as he rolls to and
fro in the Rear Admiral's bunk on the Frank
lin and casts up his accounts with fortune,

French Protest Against Du sommer.
ards Assault.

0r0'B AS0aulIs
M. Du Sommerard's assault on this coun-
try makes noise in Paris. The gross
impertinence of the publication by an
official parsonage of offensive criticisms and
insulting imputations upon people to
whose country he is sent as functionary of
his government is a fact that will not be
looked upon lightly in France, where, if
anywhere in the world, there is pune
tilious appreciation of the obligations
and proprieties of public service. Party
divisions may affect such points in some de-
gree, but they will not 60 far. NJ. Du
Sommcrard, as On ardent Bonapartist, is
naturally ready to find that all which is re-
publican is vile, and he may have fancied
that he had cheap opportunity to further
the ideas of his party by the vilifcation of
people which does not believe in personal
government and which, in the eyes of those
who do believe in such government, is
guilty of the unpardonable sin of de-
monstrating the possible success of
popular institutions Those groups of
politicians in France who are Of NJ. Du
Sommerard's party may applaud his obser-
vations from ready perception of their po-
litical drift. But these groups are not the
French people. The vigorous letter from
Marquis de Tnlleyrand, published else
where in our special despatch from Paris,
indicates the tone in which courteous and
friendly nation will resent the offence
against its own dignity and good manners
perpetrated by one of its servants. We
do not believe the French government
will fail to indicate its displeasure
with the act of an official which is gra-
tuitously offensive toward nation SO init
mately related to France by many ties, and
the superserviceable functionary will dis
cover no doubt that he was not sent to
Philadelphia in order to re-echo thence the
poor twaddle of Sardou's play.

The Republicans in tho city.

The republicans are crying out "Hayes!
"Hayes" but they seem to forget the city
nominations. General Arthur and Mr.. Dar-
ling and the other city republican man.
ayers keep US unduly in suspense. They
may have nm angel in reserve as o candidate
for Mayor and an angelic choir to support
him in the minor city offices. We like Mr..
Smith Ely; but, after all, he is only mortal
man, and if Mr.. Darling should trot out an
angela real angel, seraphic creature,
heaven-born candidate, SO to speak--the
HERALD, which is the organ Of the indepen-
dent voters, might feel compelled to support
him, and no doubt that would elect him.
But we must tell the republicans that
there is such thing as holding even an
angelic candidate in reserve too long. Here
we are within ten days Of the election, and
with good candidate for Mayor already
nominated by Tammany and the demo
crats-a candidate who, humanity speaking,
would make an excellent Mayor,
and who is liked by the Germans
and the Irish and the Americans,
and will make hole in poor Mr.. Green's
celebrated deputations. And here are the
city republican politicians seeming to know
nobody but Hayes, and giving even
Governor Morgan touch of cold
shoulder, as though they might ex-
change him for Hayes if the strug.
gle should prove close. We advise the
republicans to hurry up their nominations,
and by all means let them select q candidate
for Mayor who can count. If he cannot add
up column of figures we will have none
of him, if he is ever SC angelic. It does not
matter about his general knowledge of city
affairs or about his judgment on city inn
provements what is needed is that the
republican candidate shall be able to do
sum in adc cition. We do not mean 10 say
that even with this transcendent and TRIMS
cendental qualification he can bo elected
but at any rate he will be able to divide Mr..
Green's vote with him, and that is, perhaps.
rs much as General Arthur and Mr.. Darling
expect.

The BROTHERHOOD OF SCIENCE the
least part of the debt which the American
world of science will owe to Captain Mares,
the leader of the latest English Arctic Expe-
dition, will arise from his kindly act in
placing memorial tablet upon the shores

hearted Captain Hall lay down to die, and
where his remains were laid amid the dark
ness of the Polar night. Acts like this break
down barriers between peoples more effec-
