Praying for the New Administra tion.
Even religion has its novelties and one of
them was quite prominent yesterday in the
shape of prayers for the incoming President.
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Hayes needs
all the prayers he can get ; but if praying
were to be regulated according to special
human necessities the service of many
churches would suddenly become unfamil-
lar even to their oldest attendants. On the
day of the first Inauguration of Washington
every one went to prayers even Congress
went in body to church. But the Republic
was young and feeble then, and not so con-
tident of the power of man as through parti-
san means it has since become. One note
worthy feature pertains to most of the pray
ers reported rs uttered yesterday: the petit
TONERS were as non-committal as they
were earnest, and the Lord was thus saved
from great deal of superfuous informa-
ton. May all who prayed remember the
shrewd injunction of Mohammcd to the
prayerful owner of al unsecured camel, and
see to it that their efforts supplement their
aspirations. The men who yesterday asked
the Lord to assist President Hayes should
to-day beware lest by recommending for
Office some faithful party wheel horse or
other rascal they assist the devil to set ut
naught the Presidents good intentions.

Il This the Murderer.

An anonymous letter, which we reprint
to-day, will strengthen the doubts which
many entertain of the guilt of Oschwald and
Ryan. Considering the question of the let
ter's genuineness in the light of the evidence
presented by the letter itself it is impossi-
bic not to admit that the murder of Officer
Brock might have been accomplished in the
manner described by the unknown writer
and that the crime could have been attrib-
uted to innocent men by the means an
nounced. 1t is hardly likely that any illit-
crate man would have written so long let
ter for mere amusements sake or that SO
straightforward and connected story could
have been invented by any ordinary scamp.
1t certainly seems that more consideration
is due this letter than that which even SO
The New York herald., 1877-03-05

If he appoints some Southern man
who stands high in the confidence
of his section, and some Northern states
man of the pronounced views of Mr..
Schurz respecting military interference, the
country would regard such selections as a
strong assertion of his Southern policy, and
the dispirited radicals, seeing that they had
nothing to hope, would abandon their efforts
to influence him. The wise thing for him
to do is to take this bull by the horns at the
outset and thereby save himself from future
trouble.
If President Hayes begins by emphatically
abjuring military methods and exhibiting a
settled purpose to govern the country by
the mild authority of the civil magis-
tracy the exacerbation of feeling which
attends his election will be speedily
soothed and quieted. and the loud and angry
questioning of his title soon die away.
Even his political opponents will have little
to say about the doubts and clouds that
envelop the manner OF his accession to
Office if he administers the government by
the civil magistracy, without recourse to
bayonets, in spirit of impartial justice,
respecting all rights, in defiance of the cries
of faction and the behests of party. Presi-
dent Hayes may not be a great man, but
only common sense and honest intentions
are needed to meet the wishes of the people
in this conjuncture.

The Failure Of the Army APPro-
prta tfOn Bill.

priation Bill.
The Army Appropriation bill was not
passed by Congress yesterday, In conse-
auence of the refusal of the Senate to agree
to the fifth section, which restricted the
President from using United States troops
for the purpose of sustaining the State gov
ernments in South Carolina and Louisiana
and the determination of the House to in
sist on it's retention. The failure of the bill
will not occasion the government any i'm
mediate inconvenience, but will necessitate
the calling Of an extra session of Congress.
The existing appropriation will last until
July next, and it is probable that the extra
session will not be convened until the latter
part Of May or the beginning of June. Presi-
dent Hayes will then have been in Office
over two months, and his Southern policy
will by that time have been clearly
developed. From all he has said,
and from every indication that has yet
been given, that policy will be acceptable
to the South and will assure to Louisiana
and South Carolina in particular the gov
ernments fairly chosen by the people of
those long suffering States. If, therefore,
the extra session be wisely postponed until
the close Of May. all necessity will have
passed for the insertion of the restrictive
clause, and the Army Appropriation bill
will pass in it's ordinary form. When
President Hayes shall have given practical
evidence of his intention to treat South
Carolina and Louisiana as he treats New
York and Massachusetts, the people will not
sustain the democratic House of Represen-
tatives in casting upon him the slur dis
covered by the republicans in the restrictive
clause of the defeated BILL
So far as the provision which caused the
failure of the bill is concerned, it could in
no way interfere with or restrict the
power and duty Of the President to extend
to State the aid contemplated in the con-
stitution. If the Nichols government, after
it's complete establishment in Louisiana, or
the Hampton government in South Carolina,
should be confronted by rebellion too
strong for the State forces to overcome Presi-
dent Hayes might find himself compelled
by his constitutional duty to use the
United States troops in its suppression.
But there is little doubt that by the
time the new Congress convenes in extra
session all occasion for democratic sensi-
tiveness on the subject of military interfer-
ence in the governments Of the Southern
States will have passed away.

which in our Bible is rendered as charity
Father Elliott explained the nature of the adors,-
tion bestowed upon the mother of Christ. Mr..
rockingham informed his hearers of the logical
outcome of pure musings, and the same topic
was ably considered by Rev. Chauncey Giles.
Mr.. Hepworth called attention to the honors
and glories of day which is usually
regarded with dread. Father Kane made
an eloquent demand for obedience to
the law of God as given in the Bible The
earthly service of Christ was the subject of
Father Merrick and Rev. DR.. Parker Father
ORcilly alluded feelingly to the need of Chris

promised sermon on the duties and trials of mer-
chants gave at length his impressions of national

A Busy sunday at washington.

Washington had an exciting day yester-
day. The closing scenes in Congress pre-
sented no new features, but were neverthe-
less witnessed by ali interested concourse OF
spectators. The last exhibition OF party
feeling was made when the adherence OF
both houses to their respective positions on
the Army Appropriation bill was announced,
and after that the customary complimentary
votes we're accorded to the presiding officers,
the parting addresses were delivered by the
President of the Senate and the Speaker OF
the House and the Representatives shook
hands as cordially as if no such exciting
question as the Presidential election had
ruffled the smooth surface of the ses-
sion, and parted with mutual good
wishes. The Senate being reconvened,
farewells were not spoken in that
body. With the new Senate will meet Ben
Hill Mr.. Lamar, Judge Davis, Mr. Hoar and
the other new Senators.
Cabinet rumors filled the air at the hotels
all day, and were eagerly canvassed by re-
publicans. Our Washington correspondence
gives their import up to the latest moment.
Mr. Evarts and Mr.. Sherman are regarded as
fixed facts. The Cameron pressure is said
to have been SO great as to induce the selec-
ton of Mr.. Mcveigh, Senator Cameron's SON
in-law, as a compromise Mr. Schurz's good
fortune is said to have revived, and Mr.. Forbes
is spoken of as an anti-Butler element in
the Cabinet Then we have report that the
President hesitntes between Joe Johnston,
Key, of Tennessee, and Hancock, Of Texas,
for the Southern element, but finds no
countenance for either from the republican
politicians. Mr.. Bristow is supposed to be
likely to succeed Judge Davis in the Su-
preme Court While thus divisions Of the
spoils are going on among the republicans
the democrats have been gloomily agreeing
on an address to the country setting forth
their grievances

o'Mahony's Funeral.

The burial of shome" patriot in Dublin,
like democratic meeting in New York, will
always call out crowd Of sympathizers.
The funeral procession of the founder of
Fenianism at the Irish capital yesterday
was, however, something more than the out
pouring of rabble. The refusal of Cardinal
Cullen to allow the remains of OMahony
to lie in state in the Cathedral no doubt
served to intensity yesterdays demonstra-
ton and to make it earnest in it's character.
The HERALD special cable despatch describes
it as a most imposing affair. The deputa-
tions from the Dublin trades started with
the hearse from Mechanics Institute ten
thousand strong, and the number of their
representatives reached twenty-five thousand
before Glasnevin Cemetery was reached.
Revolutionary notices were displayed on
the flags borne in the procession and from
houses on the route. Nevertheless perfect
order prevailed. The immense throng was
not interfered with, and all the proceedings
were conducted with entire propriety The
customary fowery grafton was delivered
over the grave, and the body was laid be-
side that of OMahcny's friend and associate
in the Fenian cause, McManus. An at
tempt had been made by some of the home
rulers to discountenance the procession, but
a majority of that party attended. The
funeral is regarded as one of the most sig
nificant demonstrations of Irish nationality
thut has been made in Dublin for many
voarS

A stab Mt Rapid Transit.

Mr.. Selkreg's BILL now before the Senate,
amending the Rapid Transit law of 1875, is
neither more nor less than an attempt TO
destroy all chance Of the construction of a
rapid transit road in New York. Under the
pretence of being an ''amendment' of law,
which implies the increase of it's effective
ness. it is in fact bill in the service of the
horse car companies of the city of New York,
introduced by legislator from Tompkins
county, and designed to render the law Of
1876 practically dead letter and to deprive
the people of the metropolis of an essential
public improvement. The Rapid Transit
act was framed after careful and mature con-
sideration of all the points involved in the
question of steam railroad in New York.
Its vital feature is the provision which pre-
vents a few property owners from defeating
the wishes and obstructing the interests OF a
million of people. 1t was felt that if the
consent of a fixed proportion of the property
owners on O selected route Of rapid transit
should be essential to the construction of
such road, the horse car companies and
other interests opposed to rapid transit
might easily, by the use Of their large wealth
and influence, keep back the progress of the
city forever. TO obviate this, and to subor-
dinate private interests to the public good,
it was provided that the action OF the Su-
preme Court might set aside the necessity
for the consent of property holders. Mr..
Selkreg's bill seeks to wipe out this essen
tial provision Of the law of 1876. Tompkins
county has no possible interest in the meas
ure, and what inducements Mr.. Selkreg, OF
Tompkins, has for his interference with
rapid transit in New York city are best
known to himself.
