Moody and Sankcy Open Their
Campaign.

CHICAGO, October 1.-The moody and
Sankcy meeting opened this morning at
s o'clock. All the arrangements about
the great tabernacle are complete. Seven
thousand people greeted Moody's first
appearance. Many city pastors were on
the platform. Sankey sang with good
voice and effect, and the choir was har-
monious. DR.. Goodwin, Of the First
Congregational Church, prayed with
deep fervor and emotion. The SER
mon by Mr.. Moody was Charac-
acteristic and directed to Christian work.
ers. The text was taken from John xi., 80;
"Jesus said, take ye away tho stone" )"
The point Of the discourse was the duty
Of Christians TO rid their hearts OF what.
ever rendered them unfit for the Lords
use-pride, covetousness, unbeliei, preju.
dice and sectarian bigotry. After the
bcnediction by Bishop Cheney there was
great hand.shaking and hearty greeting.
Half an hour before the time for the
evening service the tabernacle was
crowded, and there were people enough
in the streets to Gil dozen churches.
Mr.. Moody preached from these words !;
"He that rcapeth receiveth wages" ~
John iy., 80. The discourse was per-
feet torrent Of Gospel enthusiasm.
Rev. Drs. kittridge, Chamberlain,
Goodwin and Thompson led an over
lowing meeting in Farwell Hall. At the
evening meeting in Farwell Hall twelve
persons proiessed themselves as seeking
Christ. Tho sermons every evening this
week will be to Christians.

Death OF James Lick the PhilaII.
thrOpiSt:

SAN Francisco, October flames
Lick died here at l o'clock this morning,
He has been gradually sinking for sever.
al days, and his death resulted from mere
decay ofnature. The remains are lying
in state at Pioneers Hall and the funeral
will take place Tuesday afternoon. Since
the last change in the trustees Of his
charitable fund, the deceased had
frequently expressed himself as better
satisfied with the condition OF affairs, but
has manifested considerable concern
at hearing nothing from his son
John Lick, Of Fredericksburg, Pa, to
whom both letters, and kilograms had
been sent requesting his resignation as
one OF the trustees. All OF the rest Of the
board have rendered their designations
though they have not yet been ratified by
the court. The trustees say that no com.
plications can ensue in carrying ou,
Lick's charitable designs, though there
is some fear expressed that the action
OF John Lick implies an intention Of
contcstlng the matter in the courts. The
total value Of the trust fund is estimated
at So. 900. 600,

A Statement from Judge COcli-
ran In Regard TO The Hon.
Lorenzo DnniOrd.

Editors Of the IntelllBenccr; 81
When assault is made on the good
name OF any man, whether he be Repub.
lican or Democrat, is it not the duty oil
good men everywhere TO see that truth
Is not "crushed to the earth?" The press
accounts Of the attempted suicide Of the
wife Of the Hon. Lorenzo Danford, mem-
Der Of Congress from the Sixteenth Ohio
district, has been seized by few persons
as an occasion for unjust conjectures aud
innueudoes, with view 10 unduly excite
public prejudice against that gentleman.
The man is to be pitied and Stunned
who, without the most conclusive testi.
mony, will seize upon such a::delicate Oc.
casion TO wrong another in thought or
word.
No Democrat who remembers how
manfulIy Mr.. Daniord, in his place in
Congress, rose above party prejudice and
defended the good name and fame OF the
late Speaker Kerr against the perjured
assault made against him, for partizan
purposes, and how gratefully Mr.. Kerr
in his dying hours expressed himself
respecting Mr.. Danford, will allow him
self, | am sure, to believe any story
derogatory to Mr.. Danford, not sup.
ported by indisputable evidence.
have known Mr.. Danford for is
years, most Of the time quite intimately.
I have known him as comrade.sold.
ier, a lawyer, n neighbOr and intimate
friend. While ] lived in St. Clairsville,
our families were very intimate.
From this personal knowledge, and
from the evidence OF others who to this
time, at home and in Washington, have
had the best opportunities 10 know, de:
clare him true soldier, devoted anu
faithful husband, tender and loving
father n temperate and, in every respect,
an honorable man.
Whatever may be the cause OF this I'M
happy attempt, every friend OF Mr.. Dan.
ford and every lover ofiust judgment may
rest well assured that in no just sense is il
attributable to him directly or remotely.
Conscious that this is 4 matter OF the
EXTREMIST delicacy, have had no word
with or from Mr.. Danford, and write
this without his knowledge or consent,
not knowing whether he will censure or
approve it. -
But am so we'll satisfied Of his purity
and blameless life that, through your
columns and those OF your exchanges, !

The Letter Of the Democratic
Candidate for Governor TO
Auditor Bennett.

The readers OF the ISrELLIGENcER
will remember that one Of the main
points in the defense OF Auditor Bennett
when he was on trial for appropriating
certain fees OF his office to his own Use
was the following letter from Henry NJ
Mathews, the Attorney General OF the
State, who is the present Democratic can
didate for Governor:
OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, |
LEwIsBURG, W. VA, July II, 1875. !
Hon. E. A. Bennett, Auditor:
DEAR SRA reply to your letter
asking my views as to the construction
Of certain provisions Of our insurance
laws, and as TO the fees which should be
charged insurance companies Of other
States doing business in this State, has
been necessarily delayed by other duties
have examined the acts Of 1923
pages CAS- and lG4, the abstract Of the In
surance laws OF other States, which you
furnished me, and the circular OF the In.
surance companies Of Ohio. am Of the
opinion that it is your duty, under the
net OF 1928, to charge the Insurance
companies Of Ohio and other States hay.
ing similar statutes and doing business
in this State, the same fees which those
States charge Insurance companies Of
West Virginia doing business therein. !
think the fees to be thus charged pertain
to your office and belong 10 you. This con-
clusion il warranted by the construction
which has been given the Insurance law
Of New Jersey, which is so nearly identi'
cal with our own.
Very Respectfully,
HENRY NJ. MATHEws,
Auornev General,

Charges Against an Elizabeth
IN. - Pastor.

For several weeks past there have been
rumors in circulation among religious
circles in Elizabeth, n. j., coupling the
name OF the Rev. Mr.. Patterson, pastor
OF the Second Presby terinn Church, with
scandals about immoderate drinking and
indiscreet conduct with female members
OF his congregation. Mr.. Patterson Is
we'll known, and is considered one Of the
most eloquent preachers in the city. II
is stated that Charles ROmmell, one Of
the elders, brought the matter before the
session, but what was said or done at
this preliminary meeting has not been
made public. Last Sunday, before the
sermon, Mr.. Patterson announced to the
congregation that he would tender his
resignation rs pastor at the meeting Of
the Presbytery to be held at Westtield,
n. j., next week. At the meeting OF the
congregation on Tuesday night COM
mittee Of eight was appointed TO wait on
the pastor. On Wednesday night the
committee reported that the pastor was
firm in his intention to resign, and com.
miEsioners were appointed'to attend the
meeting OF the Presbytery, to urge the
dissolution OF the pastoral relations. Mr..
Kommell refused to make public any
details oi his charges.-NerV York Tribune.

A few days before the nomination OF
Samuel J. Tilden, when free to speak
lis honest belief, the Cincinnati Enquirer
said:

ated in corruption and shameiess etrOnteTyl
even through his millions could elect
him, would give US the most corrupt
administration the country has ever
known"
And Il has never retracted this plain
and truthful utterance.
Again on the 9th Of June, 1876, the
Cincinnati Enquirer said Of Samuel ].
Tilden:
"Hs Is hypOerite, a political Ssiadier, has
Iona been public piuHdere, and is really
the only disreputabIc candidate promi'
nently named on the Democratic side"
And II has never retracted one iOtA ol
this honest opinion.
Again, on the same day, the Cincinnati
Enquirer said Of Samuel J. Tilden:

reputable Hat il tOOuLd be an ererIa1tiH9 stigma
upon Democratic convention 70 nomi'
nate him, and rewoaeh upon Ms American
Deopls 10 elect him u nominated"
And II has never 40 much a. proieSSed
to have fallen into the least error In these
assertions.
On the 9th Of June last, the Cincinnati
Enquirtr said
