Pulpit Topics To-Day.

1t looks little as if the Universalists
were not to have all to say about hell and
the kind and duration OF punishment in
the future life. The evangelcas propose
to put in word on those subjects. Last
week we had one Of them prepared to prove
the personality of the devil. Now we have
one, MIR. Johns, ready to describe the char
ncteristics OF hell rs well as those of the
New Jerusalem. Another, DIR. Rowland,
is ready to condemn the false gospel which
would rule punishment rs an agent for good
out OF Gods government. At the same
time Mr.. Searles will show that some mems
sins go before themselves to judgment,
while Mr.. Pullman will endeavor to show
that men are punished enough now and
here. Mr.. Mccarthy is not quite certain
where We are now, whether in heaven or
hell, and it is doubtful that he will be any
wiser after he has discussed the question
to-day. Mr.. Colcord believes that it is q
reasonable thing for man to be Chris
tian, and he will give his reasons therefor
while Mr.. Lloyd, lifting man out of great
tribulation, will show wherein he is more
valuable than the lower animals. Mr.. Rowell
will prove that the Gospel is revolutionary
and Mr.. Hull will present the relations of
prayer and its answer to mans need and
Gods government. Mr.. Schroeder will give
an account of his miraculous conversion
from scepticism to Christianity. Mr.. Steele
will give the receipt for saving inebriates
and Dr. King will discuss storms and their
ruler. The laws Of meditation as applied to
Christian work and the prayer Of the dying
thief to Christ will be considered by Mr..
Davis. Mr.. Hepworth will present us with

An Unfortunate District.

The Ninth Senatorial district seems fated
to be in hot water The Democratic Con-
vention at Nyack became historical through
serious bodily hurt to one Of the delegates
and the political slaughter of another. The
canvass of the votes has given rise to new
wrangle. The democrats claim the election
of their candidate, Mr.. Lathers, by eleven
votes, in consequence Of two hundred and
thirty-tiye ballots cast for Judge Robertson
not having the number Of the Senatorial dis
trct designated thereon, rs required by the
law in relation 10 elections in the city
and county of New York, which says,
section 4, "The name of the person desig.
mated for Senator shall be on n separate
ballot which, upon the face thereof shall
contain a designation Of the Office and the
district for which the officer is to be
elected" &c. These ballots were pro-
nounced defective by the canvassers and
rejected. The republicans claim, on the
other hand, that the designation of the
number of the district is only intended to
prevent confusion in the city districts; that
the ballots were known to be honestly cast
for Judge Robertson, and that he is fairly
elected by two hundred and twenty-four
votes.
The Senate is, of course, the final and un-
disputed judge in this dispute. The con-
stitution provides that each house Of the
Legislature shall be ''the judge of the cleo
tions, returns and qualifications of it's own
members" In n case of this kind the Elec-
ton law evidently intends that the can
vassers shall not have the final determina-
ton as to the fatality of defect in ballot,
since it provides that all ballots rejected as
defective shall be preserved and pasted or
attached to the returns. The republican
Senate is almost certain on political grounds
to award the seat to Judge Robertson +; but,
as q matter of fact, he received clear
majority Of the votes cast, and the insignif-
cant irregularity ought not to be allowed to
reverse the evident will of the people of the
district.
The New York herald., 1877-11-18

these relations are not we'll settled Is
evident from the fact that they have been a
subject of contention through many reyo-
lutions Even the revolution of 1880 was
the result of an attempt to substitute the
principle Of prerogative for that of respon-
sibility to Parliament, and whenever per-
sonal authority has raised it's head in France
it has made the same effort, and every sue
cess Of republican principles has resulted in
definite assertion Of the contrary theory.
But the new Ministry comes into Office
under flag Of truce-it comes in with the
assertion that it is only cover to the re-
treat Of its predecessors, only device con-
trived to save the Presidential pride-the
assertion that it has only taken office in
order to be at complete liberty to surrender
it to well-behaved majority 1t is evident
that this device may be only ruse, and
that if it induces a little toleration OF the
new Ministry the modest pretence may
presently disappear. But the government
is watched by a majority fully informed OF
its rights, and though this majority will not
quarrel with any little device merely con-
trived to save the supposed dignity of the
President, it will not tolerate further min
isterial chicanery.

Inclined tu Paaca

1t is reported from Constantinople, on
authority to which good information is ac-
cessible that His Majesty the Sultan and
his Ministers are of opinion that 'the time
for endeavoring to put an end to the war
has arrived" His Majesty the Sultan does
not want to inhict any further misery onth&
Russian Empire nor have any more inflicted
on his own. 1t will not be easy for people
generally to dissociate the Sultans benevo-
lent views toward the Russian Empire from
the complete overthrow of Moukhtar Pacha
in Asia, the critical position of Osman's army
in Bulgaria, and the marked success of the
Montenegrins in capturing Antvari. Either
Of these events might incline rational gov
ernment toward peace, but the three together
will leave Turkey, if not in de6nceless, at
least in terribly crippled condition, and
that naturally induces the Sultan to reflect
upon the miseries and horrors of war. Eng
land is to be invited to assist in the efforts
to make peace, and will, doubtless, help
earnestly, now that the fort lne of war is
against the Moslem. But we doubt if peace
will be made just yet, for Russia has. gained
success enough to encourage her to insist
upon her original terms, aud Turkey has
not fully experienced calamities enough to
induce her to,acccpt them

can take no worse medicine than cold lead;
a poor man can never be rich after he COM

mania. Brave men believe that ''while
there's life there's hope" Cowards only
seek forgetfulness in sclf-destruction. There
can be no real necessity for suicide, except
perhaps in the case of the Partisan during
spell OF bad weather, and in this broad
country, where there is elbow room for
everybody and where no man Of courage
and energy need despair OF living, the
crime ought to be unknown.

Suicide AS II Remedy.

yoltaire says the worst use to which
society can put a man is to hang him. The
worst use to which a man can put himself
is to send bullet crushing through his
brain, to cut his throat or to take his own
life by some other violent means. When
man is hanged it is generally for some
offence against the laws of q heinous char
acter, and while it is true society alter the
operation has no further use for the carcass
the punishment is usually deserved and the
example is likely to be beneficial. When
man kills himself it is for what he no doubt
regards as good reason. His health is bad !;
his business does not prosper; his wife
leads him an unhappy life; he has been
drinking too freely; he has lost all his
money; his sweetheart has Tilted him.
or. if Il Frenchman, the weather has been
unpleasant and depressing for week or
ten days. A bank president blows out
his brains and, wonderful to relate, his ac-
counts are all straight, but he has feared
that he might become paralyzed, and so, as
a permanent preventive, takes to suicide.
An inventor of q watch case spring meets
with bad success and IS without money, so
he begs drink and then puts pistol ball
through his temple. Ayoung woman, aftera
too free indulgence in liquor, is found on the
street dying from the effects OF Paris green,

husband posons herself simpleton,
whose sweetheart has deserted him, jumps
