REV. DR.. SUNDERLAND, quite unwit-
tingly, we must suppose, threw lighted
firebrand into the discussions of the Wash
ington Presbytery yesterday by his reselu-
ton regarding the present revival of reli-
gion in this city. 1t will be seen by refer
ence to our report in another column that
the worthy and reverend Presbyters who
opposed the passage of the resolution were,
at least, consistent in the fact that having
thus far refrained from joining in Mr..
Hammond's revival movement they would
not now stultify and condemn their own
conduct by voting to approve that move
ment. But on the other hand, Drs. Sun
derland and Noble, having already entered
the movement in which they believed that
they recognized the hand Of God, without
critically serutinizing the brand affixed to
the instrument through which it was in
augurated, naturally felt that they would
like TO have their active cooperation in
the good work recognized and approved, if
not united in by their brethren. Besides,
these reverend gentlemen seemed to have
had their hearts so touched as with live
Goals from the altar" of God that they
could hardly conceive of their brethren
standing coolly by, like the Pharisees of
odd, Unable to recognize the hand of the
Great Master in the work. Happily, the
resolution was SO modified as to meet the
views of the Presbytery by emitting all
allusion to the agencies by which the
great awakening" had been brought
about, and it Is to be hoped that the dis
cussion will terminate in much good by
leading all parties to examine their hearts
and see whether God may not possibly
"move in such mysterious ways" as to
confound presbyteries, conferers7 and
synods as much now as He did the Phari-
sees and Sadducees in the time of our Sa-
yiour. 1t was the second sober thought
that converted Saul of Tarsus FROM a per-
secutor of Christians and transformed him
into an Apostle of Christ. 81

MIR, LoEGFELLoW FOR ENGLAND

The Boston Daily AdUertiser has been
one of the most violent opponents of Presi-
dent Grants Administration for several
years, and has shed more tears than both
Ramah of old-who wept ''for her children
because they were not" and Shearman
of our day, whose eye freshets have more
than once threatened to submerge Brook
lyn-over the defeat of Dana as Minister to
England. But it chirpeth cheerily over
the prospect of Mr.. L)ngfellow's nomina-
ton. Indeed, there is nothing that can be
said against Longfellow except that he was
once a professor in Harvard College, and
that one Of his colleagues (named Webster)
was hanged. Still, the association was an
involuntary one, and probably no United
States Senator would raise an objection on
that ground, because, although no United
States Senators ever were hanged, there
have been several of them who deserved
hanging; and there is more than one of
them to-day whom any other nation would
have hanged for their crimes against the
nation. So let by-gones be by cones. Har-
ward College is quite respectable body in
spite of the peccadillo of one of its profes-
sors in cooling off a duuning creditor.
The AdUertiser says:
"Mr. Longfellow, it is true, is no lawyer,
but his works are as we'll known In England
as Tennyson's are in this country, and his per-
sonal acquaintance with the leading men in
England and on the continent is very large
His welcome as the official representative of
the United States would be so cordial and
earnest that we should not fail to recognize
that the appointment of a man whose genius
and character compelled admiration tended
TO exalt the national glory. That chief part
Of diplomacy which consists in winning the
respect and sincere friendship of a nation
could hardly be accomplished better than by
him. While he has never engaged in the strife
of politics, he has never failed at need to con-
tribute in his way to the patriotic spirit"

Mr.. C. P. HUNTINGTON has not given
UP all hope of converting the worthless and

per cent interest, compounded semi-annu-

have entirely liquidated the present bonded
debt of those great monopolies to the Uni
