A telegram from Washington states that
Mr. Columns ALEXANDER and Others interest,"
In the punishment OF the parties concerned IN
the safe burglary, intend to ask the passage by
Congress Of special statute exempting that
case from the operation OF the statute Of limiti-
tions. On the nrst trial the jury disagreed, aud
at the request OF Attorney General WILLIAMS
the indictment was quashed. MIR. ALEXANDER
is afraid the offence Will he outlawed before a
new Indictment can be found, la consequence
OF the obstacles thrown In this way by the
friends OF the former Assistant District Attor-
ney, RICHARD HARRINGTON. Hence his propos-
ed application to Congress.
We trust that Congress will not attempt TO
make any such change in she law to have a re-
troactlve effect. In essence II would be an
ar post Jdcto law, and unconstitutional The
safe burglary was atrocious crime. 1t ought
to be severely punished. But far more impor-
tant than the punishment Of any one offence Is
tho preservation of the great essential principles
Of criminal Jurisprudence These should never
be sacrificed. MIR. ALEXANDER has time enough
yet to get new indictments, II he takes hold OF
the matter In earnest. But whether he has or
not, We hope to see no or post JdctO laws passed.

We Propose Theme for Ministerial
DiscussIOn.

Other preparations than those in the
Hippodrome are making for the ap-
preaching revival here. under MOODY aud
SANKEY. Fifteen Protestant clergymen of
various denominations have agreed to con-
duct operations intended 10 prepare the
way for 1t. by preaching "A series of special
sermons on weekday evenings. the first Of
which was delivered by DR.. TYING last
night.
The themes Of discourse for these fifteen
clergymen have been announced, and they
include n number of religious doctrines.
We are surprised that not one among them
all has taken subject related to the prac-
teal religious life, about which so much is
said In the Scriptures, and to which we
have so often referred in THE Sun. This
must be an oversight, and il should be
looked after at once. Any sort of religion
that does not manifest itself rs an actual
power III human conduct, is of little ac-
count. We hold, therefore, that sermon
supplementary to those already announced
should be provided for on this funda-
mental subject. As we have had some
thing 20 say about the revival from time
to time. we do not know that it would be
possible TO find litter question for con-
sideration In such sermon than thus
"Are THE SUNS views of practical religion
and the religious lie correct and scrip
turalF
1t would not be hard for any clergyman
of sound ideas and learning TO deliver
powerful sermon on the affirmative side OF
this question; but yet we may say that II
n man were selected who should take the
negative, we would give proper thought
to any arguments he might adduce. 1t Il
not unbecomlng in the clergy TO take nn
interest in the course OF The SUN on
religious matters. We daily address
multitudcs hundred times greater
than those that Will be addressed by
Brother MOODY In the Ilippodrome.
No church in the world, not even
St. Peters Cathedral at Rome, could
hold one-hfth OF the people that come
directly under the influence of The SUN
every day in the week. These people de-
sire 10 know the truth about every subject
which we discuss, and though we do not
assume the functions of the clergy, We
cannot ignore the moral interests Of the
public.
We are anxious to be in agreement with
olergymen whose views are sound and
scriptural, and we are ready TO give heed
10 any of them who appear to differ from
us in any respect. 1t will thus be seen.
therefore, that the question here proposed
for discussion in the revival course Of ser
mons is Of immediate interest to all parties.

SUBLIME EFERONTERY.

A more sublime piece Of efrontery than
that of Boss Shepherds in giving his
opinion Of Babcock's guilty completely in
the Safe Burglary case, was never known.
The Boss says he "does not think Babcock
guilty Of completely in the Sale Burglary
conspiracy, but that Harrington, Whitley
and company got up the conspiracy them
selves with view of casting odium on
the district authorities" No one knows
better than Mr.. Shepherd all about Bab-
cocks precise connection with that dis
graceful business; but the confidence of the
public that Shepherd would tell the truth
in matter that virtually concerns himt ell
is not we'll founded. Shepherd was al
deep in that infamous plot himself as any
one else. There is no doubt about the plo,
being concocted in Shepherds back office
and that the news of its failure was car.

number Of district authorities" were
sitting, waiting anxiously to hear of the
success Of the dastardly attempt to ruin the
character Of an estimable citizen, whose
crime was that he WAS pressing the distric
ring too hard. The Boss expression o
his opinion on that dastardly plot, is (

may terminate in third party organiza.
ton. A circular has been issued inviting a
conference of the friends of official reform,
in the city of New York on the 18th of May,
to consider what can be done to prevent
the national Centennial year from becom-
ing mere choice of evils, and to secure the
election of men to the highest offices of the
Republic whose character and ability will
satisfy the exigencies of the present situa-
tion, and to protect the honor of the Amer.

THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD,
WlDUOE OF SECRET oERvICE
HONEY,
FOR PRESIDENT z!

Colonel Whitley swore before the Com
mittee on Expenditures Of the War De-
partment Of Justice, on Tuesday, that he
paid to Mr. Davenport, prominent Re-
publican practitioner and official in New
York city, by direction Of ex-Attorney-
Generals Ackerman and Williams, thirty
i've thousand dollars Of the Secret Service
money. He swore that he protested
against paying over the money, and Will
iams told him President Grant had
directed him to order it to be paid.
Williams testified that Davenport
brought him an order from President
Grant to direct the money to be paid to
him, that in that order he directed Whit
ley to pay Davenport money as he might
call for it. Williams corroborated the
statement formerly made by Whitley, that
he never rendered an account of how he
expended the money, as he was lot re-
quired to do 90. Whitley had Davenport's
receipt for twenty thousand dollars paid
him in 1872, during the three or four
months before the Presidential election.
Williams also testified that he had fire.
quent conversations with the President
about paying Davenport money, and that
the President said 1t was for the purpose
of making registration that Davenport
was getting up. He further testified that
no bargain was made with Davenport as
to the amount he was to charge, and that
be had no idea of the amount Whitley
had paid Davenport.
y Here we have .incontestible evidence of
the manner in which some of the Secret
Service money was spent. Thirty-fve
thousand dollars paid out for political
registration.
The astounding development is here
made, involving in avery painful man
ner the President of the United States,
which confirms the charges made in New
York in 1872, that the administration had
interfered in an improper and corrupt
manner in the elections Of that year. 1t
il we'll remembered that in that year this
same Davenport became notorious for his
conduct as federal officer, or rather Su-
pervisor of elections, and United States
Commissioner, under the law giving the
federal power authority to superintend the
elections Of federal officers. Mr.. Will
liams was explicit il stating that he
would not have paid the money except by
directions Of the President, and that he
never sought to ascertain the particular
use to which the money was being ap.
piled. The committee have only begun
the investigation of what has been done
at different times with the secret service
funds in the Department of Justice, and
they are said to be on the track of other
expsndituressnot different in kiud from
this made in New York, but in the ag-
gregate very largely exceeding the
amount. 1t is said there has been great un-
easiness in administrative circles, for some
days about coming and embarrassing de-
velopment. The President will probably
be called nnon IN anawer for himself

POLITICAL NOTES.

Hayes is the second choice of four
of the New York delegates to Gin
cinnati.
The New York World pronounces
Blaine great parliamentary leader {:
"Since the war there has been no
man so distinctly the leader of the
House as Blaine, excepting Thaddeus
Stevens"
The Baltimore Gazette is authority
for the statement that Democratic
members of Congress from Alabama,
North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, and Ohio, are unreservedly
in favor of Hancock.
The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Tribune says it is in
timated that the friends of Conkling
and Blaine may unite in the support
of Mr.. Wheeler, of New York, under
certain contingencies.
The Philadelphia North American
says the demand on Blaine for his
letters has no warrant in law, morals
nor manners, and protests against
Blaine's action in meeting the de-
mand being established as prece-
dent.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat re-
marks: "Joe Medill Is not quite
satisfied with Blaine's explanation.
But then Joe Medill is not quite sat-
isfied with the Lords Prayer, and
for the same reason-he was not al
lowed to write it."
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says
snow that the smoke of the Blaine
battle begins to clear away, and the
bodies of the victims are carried of
the field, 1t looks rather as If Blaine
had strengthened the party By achiev.
ing victory for himself.
The Pittshurg Gazette calls atten-
ton to the fact that the traditions OF
the Republican conventions favor the
nomination of the candidate who
shows the greatest strength on the
