NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 7. There is little vari-
hon 10 the details Of election returns to-day than
from those telegraphed last night.
Inc Albany Argus says that New York state
has gone democratic by 20 600, but the Tribune
allows only $1,000, aud the World claims only Is
600 dem. majority.
The Times says the democrats have carried the
state ticket, but that the republicans have q ma
Jority in both branches of the legislature.
The Herald says that the republicans have car.
ried the Assembly, with probable tie in the SEN
ate.
The Importance OF the control Of the legislature
arises from the fact that a U. S. senator will be
elected, aud the re-apportionment of the state is
to be determined by it.
Gen. Cstlin, rep. is elected dist atty OF Brook
Ign by 1000 maj.
The democratic majority in Staten Island. the
home OF George w Curtis, is from eight to twelve
hundred.
Another despatch says the returns tend to re-
duce the democratic majority, and is now thought
not to exceed 900.
In Brooklyn, Howell, dem. is elected mayor by
about 1000 maj.
ALBANY, November 7. The Evening Journal
makes the Senate stand IS republicans and l3
democrats and one Independent; the Assembly,

NEWPORT, November 7. The railroad difficult
ties between the southeastern & Passumpsic Rail
roads have assumed another feature to. day. The
directors of the Missisquoi 4 CLYDE River and
Southeastern roads to day agreed to re. Law the
track which was torn up by direction of the Pa

known, the citizens of Richford turned out en-
masse and re-lald the track, repaired the bridge
and culverts, and released the bound train be

trains are running to night.
Tins last move by the Southeastern officials was

Rev. Me-. Dearborn then delivered an address.
Man directs reason; but not reason the man.
Man directs taste; not taste the man. Intellcc-
tusl education makes q man strong, but relig-
ious education makes him stronger. Not only
is single man helped by the outpourings OF
pure soul, but humsnty-society. You have
come here, people to consider the welfare Of
children. We should give our child relig ious
education and thereby prepare II for the largest
intellectual life capable for it to attain. His re-
marks were of much depth.
Rev. Mr. Balou made remarks upon the same
subject, which were of much interest. The purest
aud grandest thing in this life is the knowledge
of Gods laws and love.
He was followed by Rev. Mr.. Puriuton upon
the same subject. Man has ali of the animal
propensities, but his possessions do not end
heA. He had mind to be cultured
different than other animals. We should
wake up our angel faculties, then
shall be like that blessed figure (pointing to the
painting of ChIists ascension in the OF the
pulpit we shall arrive to glory and happiness.
Religion is a science-scence Of goodness.
A hymn was then sung, after witch followed an
essay by Rev. S. Goodenough, subject: "Topics
suited to the moral and intellectual range of
children" lie thought scholars should have uni
form textbooks throughout the State. We should
inquire what topics suited to children of all
ages.
Two young scholars from the Augusta Sabbath
school then sung very prettiy "Whst shall the
harvest be 7"
Rev. DIR. Quinby then addressed the meeting.
He was interested in the subject which had been
discussed. Nine out Of ten people consider what
we call intellectual education far superior 10
religious. What is the intellectual chal acter of
the child worth unless it is properly cultivated
lie told story of a man who worked hard TO
make his son n great character, and expended
$4,000 upon him in ten years for his intellectual
education, but his religious education was ne
glected-and he died miserable drunksrd! The
greastest thing is that we should understand the
true value of what we call religion.
Rev. j. A. Seitz was called upon, but was not
present.
Rev. ID. I. Stevens then addressed the meeting.
In the child there is the germ of all poss III les.
just the same 10 the little tree is the germ #
the larger one Christ says "SuffAr little chil lren
to come unto me- etc. Love is the fulfilling of
the law. God is love. Aud the child can under-
stand the feelings of love well as man.
Mr.. Snow thought we should be particular
about what topics children had to dwell upon.
The child could not be supposed to understand
the teachings Of Huxley or ~ ndall.
The subject was further briefly discussed, and
the convention adjourned till evening.
In the evening" to large audience an address
was delivered entitled "a teacher taught by his
Class" by Rev e. w. Biddle of Lynn. lie
thought the teacher often taught by the class,
and gave the different manners. Space fo.bds any
extended remarks upon this address. But the
large audience listened with intense interest to
the pleasing and instructive discourse.
