The New York Sun contains the following

The New York Sun contains the following
malicious fling st Mr. MOODY:
Thus far Mcssrs. EooDT and sASKEE have doubt
less told the truth, but they have withheld one fact
which goes to show that fath IN pecuniary point of
view, Is paying Investment Every day they re-
ceva by mail voluntary donations from al Glasses Of
enthusiastic people who have BECOME infatuated By
tho preaching OF MOODY and the singing Of sANKEr.
These aggregate such large amount that 1t il
ssfe to say both Of these in comfortable cir
cu1.tances, and are IN reality, profnB largely by
their work Er. Moody has recently purchased hne
house in Northfeld, Mass. {his native town) and ia
now having II reftted and improved, and meantime
he has sent his family to spend the winter months st
fashionable resort in Florida. This Ia what faith will
do for man: and By Withholding these facts Brother
MOODY omits powerful argument In his efforts for
the salvation Of slnncrs.
The Sun may be abla by such malicious
statements as the above to prejudice very
czedu1ous people, but they will have no effect
in tho West, where Mr. MOODY is known. We
do not believe that Afr. MooD1 is mixing
money ont Of his evangelizing any more than
the Apostle Paul did. Still the laborer is
worthy of his hire, and there is no harder or
more indefatigab]e worker in this country
thAn Mr.. Moony,-no one who deserves to bs
more richly repaid But that, as the Sun
alleges, he is working from the sordid motive
Of laying up treasures where moth and rust
corrupt, We do not believe. Like other men,
Mr. Moopx must eat. drink, sleep, and clotho
himself, md to do this he must have money.
He cannot live Oh faith.

The Office Of journal Clerk OF the House
Of Representatives has been filed faithfully
and ably for thirty years by Mr, BARCLAY.
Whatever changes Of administration or
party occurred in that time, he remained un-
disturbed, because of his valuable and ef-
6cieut services. The present Democratic
majority, however, carried out its boasted
*'Reform by ousting this faithful servant
and appointing new man, CHAn1Es g.
SMITH. The new man was not WARN in his
seat, however, before he was in scandal by
sending circulars to the Town Clerks Of New
Hampshire, offering to give them 10 per cent
Of the fees for collecting claims under the
bill to equa1lze bounties, provided they would
send the claims to him, he, of course, pock-
eting the remaining 80 Per cent, this
even before the bill has become law, It is
very small scandal, but it very clearly illus
trstes tho peculiar character Of Democratic

HA11Er kuDouRN was the bone Of con-
tention in the House yesterday The in.
hciary Committee, which has had the habeds
corpus question under consideration for sew
eral days, reported unfavorabfy on the appi-
cation, directing the sergeant-atArms to
mike respectful return to Judge CARrrE.,
setting forth the cause Of KnBoUnN's deten-
ton, but to retain the custody of the
prisoner. Messrs. HuRD, LAWRENCE, aud
HoAn considered tho House justified in
holding the prisoner in defiance of the
Court, while Messrs. GARFIELD, LrNpE, and
KAssos claimed that the House commit
ted m egregious blunder, and should make
sill haste to remedy the matter by delivering
up the prisoner to the Court, or giving him
sn unqualified discharge. No decision was
reached, it having been announced that
Judge CARTIER had postponed the further
bearing Of the case till Tuesday next

majority Of the electors are reasonably hon.
est,-that is, would decline to sell their votes
outright,-but they are so open to in
direct bribery that they afford no sort
Of protection against the prevalent cor
rnption dating from time immemorial-
Even under the British civil service
members of Parliament possess considerable
power Of patronage, and member can do
great deal for his town and his constita-
/ ents, all which he does and disposes Of to
purchase votes, very much as it is done un-
der our spoils system, only more SO. With
8 shil1ings pence as the established market
price for the votes directly put upon the
market, and the patronage corruption of the
other electors, the corruption is found hope
less, so hopeless that, when the Commits
sioners inquired if, by union Of the better
class Of voters against bribery, by agreement
on both sides, it might not be abandoned,
the reply was that it was impossible The
moral to it all comes in the report Of the
Commission, which hopelessly states the
facts without any recommendation, man
ifestly despairing of any relief what
ever. The only suggestion made thus
far, and that through the newspapers,
is disfranchisement Of the entire town.
But, that precedent once set, the query is
whether there could be any effective relief
unless the disfranchisement were extended
until about all the Large towns were disfran-
chised, which, of course, is impossible. With
all the corruption exposed in this country, We
have never yet reached that point whom such
suggestion could be seriously made, nor
when the decent portion Of the community
could not control the elections, when they
chose to make the effort. Nor is there peril
that such time will come. Unless there be
prospect Of that we can endure the ills
We suffer until we succeed in redressing
them; and meanwhile, with knowledge Of the
corruption they suffer in England, We ought
to be able to bear with equanimity British
honilies on the decline Of public morals in
the United States.

It is morally certain that, if Chicsgo had a
fiTerent Mayor and different Council, the
Iour bummers. who have usurped the town
pffces in South Chicago would not dare resist
the popular demand for their retirement
They feel however, that their claim to Office
under bellotbox stufdng is as good as that
of Mr. Co1v1S and those holding place under
him They feel, also, that they have the
import of the whole system Of the City Coy
.rnment in all it's branches. They are thus
Encouraged to ignore public opinion, and
1eat with contempt every threat Of punish
nent that has been mnde. But if Mayor
ind Common Council OF different character
be provided BY the election Of next Tuesday,

4 large number OF COLYNS AQcfm2nff
gang are making desperate effort to get re-
elected to the Council. It is their mission tt
sustain the usnrpation and al the ills incident
to it. They are the confessed advocates o1
Communism and municipal extravaganza.
They want to 90 back to the Council to keep
Co1vN in his place another year after his
term has expired. They want to keep him
in his place to provide for the large circle OF
loafers by whom the public service is loaded
down. The nnti-ta1-eaters of all parties
should spot these men. Hero is the list ot
fellows who voted in the Council against call.
ing an election for Mayor who voted against
letting the people elect a Mayor, notwith-
standing ConyM's term had expired last fall !;
who voted against home-rule and sef-gov-
ernment. They are all candidates for re-
election, and asking the votes Of the honest
people whom they so basely betrayed. Bead
the blacklist:
Warren, of the First.
EitxzeraId. Of tho Second.
6ommer, Of the Fifth.
Hiidreth, the s scsookcd," Of rho Sevent- :
Tom r. Bailey and Jim O'BTiea. Of rho
Eighth.
White, Of tho Tenth.
Ryan, Of the Fourteenth.
Tom Stout, Of the Fifteenth.
LenSacher, Of the SIxtecnth.
Sweeney and Murphy, of the Seventeenth.
There are two others who, though not
openly protesting to be candidates, are likely
to strive for reelection, and spring it upon the
people. These are PETE MAHR and JOHNNY
CoRcoRAn, the former Of the Fifteenth and the
latter OF the Eighteenth Ward. When Cor
coRAN was LAST elected to the Council, he was
scarcely known to be a candidate, and had
promised hjssupportt to one Of theregularD DEM
ocratio nominees; but he ran his votes in, or
counted himself in, all the same, and the
returns showed him to be elected. These
two men must also be watched.
In making up this blacklist We have not
stopped to consider whether these men pro-
fess to be Republicans or Democrats. In
this election they are neither one nor the
other. They are simply upholders Of bum
merism and usurpadon, with all the term
implies II they gain seats in the new Coun-
Gil their first effort viii be to retain Co1v1N
as Mayor another yenr, and thereafter to
maintain the same disgraceful system Of
bummerism that has ruled the city for the
past two years, Every ono Of them should
be defeated, without any regard to their
professed political affiliations It will be
possible in every case to find better and safer
men among the candidates opposing them.
It is not possible, under the circumstances,
that any one of those opposing them should
be more dangerous, for these men advocate
that which includes all the municipal evils
and dangers Of the time, viz: the continua-
ton Of the usurper in Office.

| THE ELECTION AND THE CITY CREDIT,
One Of the most striking and beneficial ef-
| fects OF a complete change in the City Gov
ernmcnt, the election Of new Council CON-
posed of business men, and the election by
them Of an honest business man for Mayor,
| will be the general revival of public conf
| dence.
The city is in Immediate want Of money to
| avoid protest On paper falling due. It has
tried other markets and has failed to obtain
it; it has tried the home market with no bet
ter success The reason Of these failures has
been that those in Chicago who might nd
vance the money have had no confidence in
the executive management Of the Mayor, or
in the integrity Of the Common Council,
in the wisdom Of its appropriations, or in
the character Of its expenditures. The whole
character of the City Government resting
upon the conduct of the Mayor and Council
has been destructive Of public confidence and
respect. The capitalists Of other parts Of
the country have lost confidence in a city the
people Of which have not the patriotism to
give time enough to vote for an honest City
Government, and leave all things to the rule
Of the criminal classes.
At the election on Tuesday the people OF
Chicago can do much to restore the conf
dence which is now wanting. The election
of q new Council with majority Of two
thirds composed Of honest, wen-known busi-
ness men, and the election by that body of
Mayor Of different class thnn the present
ono ut11 1ova %ha afFoo+ ~ ro
storing confidence both at home and else
where.
There is large sum Of taxes unpaid, and
they are unpaid largely because of the char-
acter Of the City Government The continu-
ance in Office OF the present dynasty will
swell the sum of unpaid taxes. So universal
and deep-rooted is the distrust of Co1vM
and his Common Council that no man feels
the least hesitation in declining to pay taxes
to be expended by the Common Council. A
radical change in the character OF the men
composing the Council, and the placing of
the affairs of the city in the hands of men
familiar with business, themselves tax
payers and deeply Interested in the
welfare of Chicago, will remove this
popular distrust. There will be a gen
eral willingness to relieve the city
Of its embarrassments,- "a readiness to
cooperate, by the payment Of the overdue
taxes, with the new Government in the e1-
trication Of the city from its present financial
discredit. There has never been the least
intention to repudiate the city debts or to
repudlate taxation The diserust has been
of the Government, and the purpose has
been to keep from it the possession and con-
troll Of the means Of perpetuating its own
official existence. Had aIr. Co1y1y resigned
q month ago and invited the people to
choose their own Mayor, the city would not
have been subjected to the financial hunil-
iations it has experienced since then. Mr..
ColvH would have enjoyed degree Of per-
sonal respect he can never hope for as an

therefore, if the business community and the
hard-working artisans do their duty in the
selection Of Aldermen, be deliyerance OF
the city from the disgrace and discredit,
