Mohammcdans and Christians.

A meeting Of Christians was held last
Tuesday evening, at Association Hall, TO de-
nounce the recent Mohammodan outrage in
Bulgaria. Speeches We're made by several
Christian clcrgymcn, in which not merely
the conduct of the Mohammodan5 in Buga-
ria, but also their religion In general was
violently attacked. One reverend gentle
man even went SO far rs to thank COP that
the Turkish Empire, the great bulwark Of
tho Mohammolan faith, would soon be
blottcd out in Europe by Christian glrnpow-
der, swords, and bayoncts The Mohamme-
dams hate Christians he said, icrccly and
bitterly; and this, he appeared TO Think re-
quires Christians TO be equally fierce and
bitter in hating them,
NJ one pretcnds, we believe, to defend the
Mohamnelan treatment Of the Bulgaran5.
1t was, according to all accounts cruel and
inhunan TO the last degree. Nor Is il TO be
denied that religious fanaticism inllamed
the forocity which the Mohammedans dis
played. II Is also truo that Christians in
Mohammodan countries labor under civil

Of social dislike by their Mohanmedan

PRAYERS for the Aldermen.

II has been said that large majority Of
the Board Of Aldermen are past praying for
| we do not think so. awhile the lamp holds
out to burn, the vllcst sinner may return"
Let those pious people who have undertaken
TO awaken the brokers to a realizing sense
of their condition, not forget tho onor-
nous accumulation OF original and ac-
| quircd SIM in which 30 many OF our
| conscript fathers are regularly STEPPED.
| What moro inviting field could DO Of
| fercd TO the missionary Moreover, each
and every individual in this city is directly
Interested in thorough reformation Of
these sinners. As regards Wall street
brokers, their dark ways and vain contriv-
ances are only dangerous to those confidipg
beings who innocently wander among the
bulls and bears. No prudent man need suf-
fer at the hands of Wall street brokers. But
what amount OF wisdom, clevorness, or in
telligence can protect tho average citizen
against tho Ubiquitous schemes, conceived
brought forth and consummated in the Board
of Aldermen
1t had generally been thought that when
an Alderman died, his power of depicting the
city treasury ended then, there, and forever
This assumption, however, has been shown
to be incorrect by various proceedings Of the
Board. We have seen the death Of certain
Aldermen made the pretcxt for n raid upon
the city treasury In the shape of rosewood
Baskets, hcarscs, carriages, gloves, Grape,
and so on, TO the tune OF several hundreds Of
dollars. This ostcntatious display of affected
grief ut the public expense is technically
known about the City Hall as the under
takers job.
Now, we venture, timldly TO suggest TO
those plous persons who meet Of afternoons
in the old John street Methodist Episcopal
Church. that prayers be offered up on behalf
of the Aldermen OF this city, with the hope
that they may be led TO see the error Of their
ways, step forward and confess their mis-
deeds, live clean lives hcnceforward, take
no more whiskey than they can conveniently
carry and, above all, eschcw for the future
all such "judicious expenditures OF the pub
lie money" as come under tho head of en-
crossing jobs, refreshmont jobs, under
takers jobs, portrait jobs, and So
forth to the end of tho chapter. AS re-
CARDS portraits of Mayors, ex-Mayors Gov
ernors, ex-Governors, and other illustrious
individuals, the people now own all they
have room TO hang up i4the City Hall, and
more than they can possibly have any use
for during the next fifty years.
We can stand the Wall street brokers, but
the Aldermen are too many for us. That
those eminent gentlemen, headed by PETER
COOPER, who recently conferred with Comp
troller KELLY and Mayor ELY on the subject
Of economy, retrenchment, and reform In
municipal affairs, would cheerfully join any
movement of the kind we have suggested,
we entertain no manner Of doubt.
