suit or THE RECENT ELECTION SHOULD DE

TO THE oUEsrIoN-THE SENDING OF TROOPS
TO THE soUTu-THE ExTRADITIoN TREATY
WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
President Grant irf course OF conversation to-day
said in reply a question, that he had no knowledge
Of democratic armed conspiracy South or West, as
had been reported. He had Information merely
OF organized rife companies outside or the
State militia, but lie not apprchcnsive
OF armed collisions in connection with the Presi-
dency, no matter what might be the fears Of
others II seemed TO him the people desired only

tainy desirable to establish the actual fact OF tho eiec
tion OF either Hayes TiIden, he sad ior neither
could feel satisfied If any doubt remained of his elec-
ton because In such case his position as President
would not command the requisite general support.
The President remarked tnat no one could suppose
that he bad any connection with or relation to the
declaration Of who was elected. That was not mat
said tor tho coming OF the 4th OF March, when he
would gladly give way to his successor; and, freed
from Official cares before recstabshing himself In his
home at Galena, ILL.,, where he owns house, hc

The President said that during his two terms Of

THE SPECIAL COMMITTEES ON COUNTING THE

coRpANT ACTION.
Tho special committee OF tho Senate on the. cleo

There is lull In the talk about pushing tho Telc

fact, to an apprehension that summary measures on

Christmas Services.

Large congregations assembled in oil
the churches yesterday, and in all the
services were especially interesting. At
the Church of the Disciples Rev. Mr..
Hepworth contrasted the condition of the
world at the coming of Christ with the
pYpgress made in the light of Chris
tim truth. Rev. Mr.. rockingham, at the
Masonic Temple, spoke of Christmas as the
greatest of all festivals. and Of the spirit
ligion. At Plymouth church Mr. Beecher
urged the importance Of having Christ
manifest in our body. At ST. Francis
Xavier's church Rev. Father Dealy preached
from the text, "And the Word was made
flesh and dwelt among us" AT the
Church Of the Divine Paternity Rev. J.
Smith Dodge, Jf., ofiiciated, speaking of
the grandeur Of the Christmas festival.
The Rev. DR.. Brooks, at the Church of
the Incarnation, dwelt upon the duty Of pre-
partition for the second advent. Rev. Charles
E. Harrison, at the Allen street Methodist
Episcopal church, regarded his text, "Glory
to God on high, and on earth peace, good
Will 10 men rs OOLn euuuclatOfy anu
prophetic, Notwithstanding the pres
ent disturbed condition of the
earth, and hoped the initiation, of
this peace might date from the present
Christmas. Rev. DR.. Ludlow, at the Col
legiate Reformed church, drew lessons of
humility and faith from the story of the
birth Of the Saviour at Bethlehem.
Rev. DR.. Armitage, at the Fifth avenue
church, preached on ''The Babe Of the Man
GER" the mystery of the human birth and
the influence of the life of the Saviour upon
all classes of people in all nations where
the Gospel has been preached. At the
Brooklyn Tabernacle Rev. T. De Witt Tai
mage said that the story of the birth
of Christ taught that indulgence is
not always significant of degrada-
ton TINT when we are engaged
in our lawful occupation we have divine
manifestations made to us; ''when we
are watching our focks the glory
of the Lord shines about u.s." The
Rev. John Cotton Smith preached political
sermon upon the duty of Christian men in
the present hour as subject deeply con-
serning morals and Christianity.

CHARLES Francis ADAMS says, in = letter to the
Quincy (Mass.) Patriot that three-fourths Of the
books in brisk demand at the public libraries are
"yapid and sensational" He thinks that parents
ought to guide the chidTen's taste in the choice Of
reading more than they do.
The Newark Advertiser, in a trenchAnt editorial on
this subject, says; "A worse literature than tat
which is spread before the children Of this country
would hardly be possible for the mind Of man N eon
ceive his hand to execute II is even Worse Than
an open advocacy Of vice and intempeIance for tha
would carry its own andote, while what We have ox-
cites stimulates and debases the intellect unhs IL
for healthy food hs the Imagination with gaudy and
distorted pictures Of life and develops the at
Au age when they should be most under control. How
ueh OF the low moral tone OF society is due to these
satanic issues OF the press do not know but as
river can nowhere be 50 eest1aly poisoned as a. its
OF these papers deVoured by curious and eager chill
dren, must influence to large extent the tone OF
thought and the drift OF action OF those whose plastic
minds come under its influence"
The writer adds: at may be somewhat unnecessa-
~ to state that have reference in the above 10
those monthly magazines for children, which Are AZ
heahfu as they are beautiful. II all editors were As
able truthful aud devoted As Mrs Mary Mapes Dodge
complain Of"
The New York Tribune says; 'In the avalanche Of
immoral literature that threatens the children some
strong, vitality wholesome and really attractive maya
zine Is required for them and St. Nicholas has reach
ed higher platform, and commands for this service
wider resources In art and letters than any Of It's pre-
decessors or contemporaries"
Rev. G. g. ROBINSON, d. D., in an article in the
Sunday School Times on the subject, SAYS of st.
Nicholas Scribners illustrated for Qirls and
boys "A cleaner, purer, more Trustworthy periodi-
cal for children cannot be named II is on the side of
all that Is true and good, from beginning TO end"
In order to place this magazine within the reach Of
all, the publishers offer to send the Il numbers CNoy
70 to Dec Toy for $780, Or, for $500 they will send
the IL numbers beginning with Nov. 49, and either
