ham listened to an interesting discussion OF
the question of Religion in Politics." in
which the preacher explained the relations
that he considered should exist between po-
litical and religious ideas. The Rev. Marvin
r. Vincent preached memorial sermon at
the Church of the Covenant on the late John
p. Crosby, and called attention to the sympa-
thy of God for suffering humanity. At st.
Stephens church Dr. McGlynn spoke
eloquently on the childhood days of
Christ as illustrating the divine alli-
ance of wisdom and obedience exhibited
in the character of the Saviour. Modern re-
ligion was the subject of Professor Adler'a
discourse at Standard Hall, and at the
Church of the Disciples the Rev. George
Hepvorth spoke on the opened heavens,
and traced the growth Of the knowledge OF
God. Mr.. 'Talmnge defended Moses against
the assaults of Huxley, and insisted that the
latter made no impression on the religious
faith OF the American people. AT Plymouth

Tho Neutrality OF Greece.

A correspondent of the HERALD comes to
the defence of Greece and presents his side Of
the case strongly. There is no doubt truth
in his statement that brigandage in Greece is
largely carried on by outlaws near the boun-
daries of Turkey and that when they are
pursued they retire into the dominions Of
the Sultan. 1t is also likely that Turkey
does not keep her contract to exterminate
this evil. That the Greek fire ships did good
service in the war for independence and
that heroism was shown in the supplying OF
Crete with provisions in the last revolution
may be conceded. But naval war was not,
fifty years ago, what now it is, and heroism
could not supply the want OF iron-clads in
war with Turkey. The letter confirms our
opinion that Greece wishes to remain neu-
trail because she is conscious of her weak
ness. Even her King is wandering around
Europe, and it is said that he prefers Paris
to Athens Ever since Lord Byron fought
for the land where burning Sappho loved
and sung" and Halleck published "Marco
Bozzaris," America has sympathized with no
country in Europe more than with Greece
but when we speak of her position in the
present Eastern complications we must not
deal with sentiments, but with facts.

SOUTH CAROLINA DANGERS
Chamberlain's programme is producing its
natural results, as will be seen in our Column
bia correspondence. Race is arrayed against
race; midnight arrests are made; passions
are infamed by cunning politicians troops
are asked for of the President, and
there is danger of bloody conflict
between the whites and negroes Nothing
can avert this but wisdom at Washington
and moderation in the State. General
Hampton is doing good work in this direc-
tion. At every meeting he reads the HERALD
editorials on the situation, and urges his col
ored hearers to adopt our advice-that is,
TO vote for Hayes and Wheeler if they are
republicans, but to vote against Chamber
lain, no matter what their politics may be.
The redemption of the State from his ty-
ranny is an indispensable step toward the
restoration Of peace and prosperity in South
Carolina

Bartholdi,s statue.

There is danger that in the midst Of the
political excitement of the Presidential can
vass the citizens of New York may lose
a great monument, which our old allies, the
French people, destined for New York as
the Empire City of this continent. The
idea of setting up in our harbor an immense
and well nigh imperishable monument OF
the alliance between France and America,
which contributed so much to the establish.
ment of our national independence, was in
itself graceful and touching tribute from
the old war and weather beaten nation to
the young giant which in a hundred years
had grown from infancy and taken fore
most place among the nations of the earth.
France has shown by the warm and hearty
way this idea was received how much her
people appreciate our greatness and the
means by which we attained it. In setting
up the statue of Liberty Lighting the
Commerce Of the World" in the
harbor of New York the French
people propose to pay us and our
institutions the highest honor in theiy
power. Up to the present it must be said
that our citizens have shown very little de.
sire to reciprocate this kindly feeling. Sc
far no steps have been taken in New Yorl
to organize committee and appeal for sub
scriptions to erect the base of the statue,
which was the part of the work left for ouI
citizens to do. Philadelphia has been
prompt to profit by the carelessness of ouI
citizens, and already committee has been
organized in that city, with the avowed OBJ
ject of erecting Mr.. Bartholdi's statue on
some site in Philadelphia. The whole cost
of the proposed monument is estimated =

Ncwton's Channel.

Surveys of the site Of the blasted reef
having now been completed, as described
in to-days HxRALD, we can form some
estimate of the effects of the great blast.
It is evident that General Newtons cal
culations have been fully borne out, and
that the shell of the reef which rested
on the supporting columns has been COM
pletely broken up and has descended on
and now overlies the pulverized debris Of
the columns. The task Of removing this heap
Of detached rock will involve considerable
time and the expenditure of no little skill,
because of the strong currents that sweep
over the site at certain stages Of the tide.
However, the success which has attended
the demolition Of the reef itself as q solid
mass gives promise of final conquest
of this dangerous obstruction by the less
difficult operation of dredging. The work
on the Flood Rock is progressing very ia
vorably. The difficulties of drilling appear
to be less than those that attended the oper-
ations at Hallett's Point Reef, so that we
may look forward to an early removal of the
Middle Reef of which the Flood Rock
forms a part. Nothing can delay the clear
ing of He'll Gate channel from all its obstruc-
tions except small appropriations by Con-
gress, and. considering the importance Of
the work to the commerce of the United
States, money should be freely and literally
nrovided

THE CASE OF voN ARNIM.-Prince Bis
marck is not the man to permit any
trifing with whatever he may esteem the
prerogative of his official position, and it
might have been supposed but for the Won
Arnim case that there was nobody in Ger
many not fully aware of this fact. 1t is
scarcely just, however, to count that Won
Arnim is pursued by the relentless Prince in
purely personal difference In the adj
ministration of the foreign affairs of his
government the Prince found in Won Arnim
not simply on obstacle to the policy which
he deemed wise, but a resolute opponent
cndeavoring to defeat that policy. Now, in
ary logical sequence Of ideas, the man who
holds post under government and uses
his post to defeat the government policy is
10. merely in revolt against the discipline,
but lie is traitor. This is the pith of the
case against Won Arnim. Bismarck defends
his policy and his government and makes an
example that will save the State the rccur-
renee of similar troubles. At the last mo-
ment i. is possible that by royal clemency
Won Arnim may be spared; but while the
case stands on any legal ground there will
~ no failure ts apply the law fully. :.

critical, disclose themselves; come fairly out,
acknowledge their acts and ''stand the

and they do otherwise. They remain in the

the discipline of the school discriminates

Tn. Psopl. and tho Politicians.

1t is unlikely that the gulf between the
Tammany and the anti-Tammany branches OF
the democracy will be bridged over. They
will stand apart like the two piers of the
Brooklyn Bridge. one on each shore.
while Mr.. Green, like the East River
in full tide, runs between them both.
After the election is over the folly OF the
democracy will be as clearly seen by Its lead
ers as it is now by the public. Here are two
or three men whose personal quarrels are
allowed to control the politics Of the entire
democratic party in New York, and reform,
good municipal government, peace and sue
cess are all to be sacrificed to their rival am
bitions. Mr.. John Kelly has saddled and
bridled Tammany and proposes to ride it to
man. On the other side Mr.. O'Brien,
who on Saturday defeated Mr.. Morrissey
as the anti-Tammany leader, refuses
to yield to the exorbitant demands of
Mr. Kelly, and proposes to make ticket OF
his own. Family quarrels are notoriously
worse than the disputes of strangers, and SO
there is more bitterness between the two
factions of the democracy than between
either one and the republicans, and proba-
bly, greater animosity between Mr.. O'Brien
and Mr.. Morrissey than between either
of them and Mr.. Kelly. 1t is not credit
able to the democracy of this city that it
should be thus demoralized and broken up,
and that what ought to be a united canvass
has become disgraceful struggle for plum
der of the offices.
While this condition Of affairs is to be
regretted for the sake of the party it may,
after ALL be an advantage to the public. The
public has something to say in this question
as well as Messrs. Kelly, O'Brien, Morrissey
and the others who are running the
two conventions. Let these gentlemen
remember that last year Mr.. Kelly
insisted upon ruling or running as he does
now, and that ruin was the result. The
HERALD and the people nominated John X.
Hackett for Recorder, and despite of Tam
many and Mr.. Kelly he was triumphantly
elected. We do not know that the people
have had occasion to regret that victory. This
year they may win another. They certainly
will ifan unpopular and unfit nomination for
Mayor should be made by Tammany Hall.
In that case either Mr.. Babcock, President
of the Chamber Of Commerce. Mr.. Agnew,
or Mr.. Kane could be elected by a popular
uprising, as in the case Of Recorder Hackett.
Under other conditions Mr.. Green would
secure the Office for which he is now
working with energy. The people are dis
contented with leaders who seem to be only
contending for the disposal of the three mill
ion four hundred and eighty-one thousand
dollars at which the fifty-eight Offices to be
filled this election are valued, and disgusted
with conventions that need to be kept in
order by q police force. The problem of
who shall be our next Mayor, our next
Surrogate, our next Sheriff, is yet unsolved;
but those are very much mistaken who
leave the people out Of the question. If
the people undertake to settle it all the
John Kellys, Morrisseys and O'Briens in
New York might as well stand aside.

THE EASTERN QUESTION. The strength of
the Turkish army, the history of the recent
peace negotiations, the intrigue to make
Prince Milan King of Servia and the Rus

Therapia descriptive of the diplomatic ses-
sions at the villa of Sir Henry Elliott on the
Bosphorus.

opinion. The chief reason why the munich
pal government of New York is 80 bad is
the vast preponderance of one political
party in the city. Such . party,
feeling secure of victory in any
event, the leaders who manipulate
it abuse their influence. Wherever the
majority is SO large that party nomination
is thought to be the same thing as IN elec-
ton the worst candidate has equal chances
with the best The one autocrat or few lead
ers who pull the wires secure the nomina-
ton of their pets or tributaries. and public
Offices are regarded as the private property
of party managers The mass of voters in
neither party take any active part in work
ing the machinery of nominations, and the
only security fer good candidates is whole
some fear that the people will not indorse
bad ones. This security is destroyed when
ever party is SO strong that nomination
by it is equivalent to an election.
The great strength of the democratic party
in this city is the rank soil from which a
new boss or crop of bosses shoots up as soon
as one has been plucked up by the roots.
Boss Tweed is succeeded by Boss Kelly.
The latter, warned by the fate of his prede-
cessor, is too shrewd to go to the same COR
rupt lengths, but the source of his power is
not different. Not one voter in twenty
takes any part in the machinery of political
organization, and most of those who do are
the tools of party chiefs The consequence
is that the Tammany Boss is political die
tator; that he and not the mass of his party
make the nominations, and that mere disci-
pline and party servility determine the action
of the voters When this method is carried
to an extreme the people rebel. as they did
last fall, and as they are sure to do again this
year if Boss Kelly nominates ''my candi-
date" The evil OF overgrown parties is,
however attended with principle of COM
pensation in the factions which arise within
their own ranks in the scramble for spoils.
Mr.. Kelly has to face this danger, and unless
he can harmonizo the democratic factions
there will be joint opposition ticket, sup
ported by the republicans and German
voters, and Mr.. Kelly will peruse in the
election returns second edition of the NOR
tAlyAuB 1CSoOu lac IcCclNcu ldbt y cuI.
There is but one way of escape, and that
lies in Mr. Kellys consent to abandon his
pet candidates and permit such municipal
nominations as will secure the approval of
oil democrats. The nomination of Mr..
Kane, Mr.. Babcock or any approved demo-
crat Of similar standing would not only heal
the menacing divisions in the party, but
insure the vote of the State for Mr.. Tilden.
The fate Of the democratic national ticket,
as well as the cause of good government in
this city, is staked upon the willingness of
Mr.. Kelly to make reasonable concessions
If he remains obstinate he will act the part
of sightless Samson, who brought down the
Philistine temple in ruins and found his
own death beneath the tumbling rubbish.

An Appea, to spinst.rs and Others

Some people are exceedingly clever in
finding the duties which other people owe
! to their children. AS a matter of course
these fortunate individuals are the first to
discover that a married womans maternal
cares make it impossible for her to teach in
the public schools. If such rule was of
universal application, as it ought to be to be
valid, it would deprive the world of half
its benefits and enjoyments. The sylph-
like figure which fits through the airy
mazes of tho ballet hastily exchanges the
drapery and gauze of the stage for
the garments of ordinary humanity
that she may the quicker reach the little
play shall stop because there is married
woman behind the footlights? Who asks
that the prima donna shall quit her triumphs
because lot of young artists are bawling
in the nursery under the care of that ap-
pendage of every prima donna-a husband
Does anybody think that the Lady Teazle Of
the hour should quit teasing the Sir Peter
of the stage because the real Sir Peter can
not manage the brats left in his care2 Who
wonders whether the shopwoman, the sew
ing woman, the washerwoman or the apple
woman is married, and demands that she
shall forsake her avocation because of her
maternal duties? We fear there is something
very like a jealousy having its source
in social condition at thebottom of this
question in regard to the employment
of married women as teachers. It is
the single women against their more fortu-
nate sisters. This is very short-sighted
policy on the part of the spinsters. Every
woman expects to be married some day.
Those who are loudest to decry the male sex
would be the quickest to jump at the first
offer. All men are not rich it is not in the
nature of things that they should be; but
mere poverty is no reason why even school
teacher should refuse the hand of an
honest and handsome young fellow.
We believe few of the young women in our
public schools would refuse an offer to marry
otherwise unobjectionable merely because
the suitor was not a young Crnsus. Why,
then, this factious opposition to married
women? Marriage is all the more alluring
with a snug position in the public schools
to help to keep the pot boiling We trust
this argument will not escape the attention
of the spinsters, and that they will consult
their real and not their fancied selfishness
in dealing with this question. The Board
Of Education, too, has duty to perform
which heretofore has not been fully recog-
nized-the duty Of discouraging any ten
dency toward old maidenhood, by promoting
marriage among the female teachers.

IN times of dependency there are few
grains of good cheer in almost everything
of favorable turn, and we can therefore
recognize the encouragement. felt by our
shipbuilde,s, and those who engage in la
Dor at such work, at the prospec, Of re-
vival in that branch Of industry. Our
working classes have tasted the dregs Of
the cup of poverty, and onr manutactu-
rers have in their own way, by the shrink
age in sales, and the poor investment Of
capital, been brought TO no less APP
probation of the terrible strain these de-
pressing times make upon the people, the
feeling and suffering they impose, and the
irritation they provoke. Then there is nc
reason that a sudden revival in shipbuid-
ing should not be welcomed az pleasant
augury of brighter future by both capi-
talists and workingmen.

sweat started to his brow as in an agony OF
horror he realized the nature OF his pelll.
With the energy Of despair he grasped the
snake with both hands, and with almost
ssperhuman strength, and in manner he
can scarcely recall, succeeded at last in un-
coiiing its hateful folds from his body,
dragged the struggling boa to its box and
safely secured it in its old quarters. A
severe nervous attack succeeded the fright
and horror the strange combats had eccas-
ioned, and not another wink did johnson
sleep that night. He can congratulate
himself that he escaped SO easily. and that
sense'ess temerity did not receive the fatal
punishment il invited.
