Mr.. Moody in Hartford.

Especial dispatch to the Now York Times.I
Hartford, CoSN., January 13.--The sec
ond week OF. Mr.. Moody's work in Hartford
commenced to-day with three crowded
meetings at the Rink, and overlooking SER
wees at five churches in the city, $4,000 seats,
at least, being occupied. The regular church
services morning and afternoon were also
attended by large crowds OF people, and the
interest is unprecedented. Mr.. Moody has
preached three sermons during the day, and
conducted an inquiry meeting this eveG-
ing. at which several hundred persons
were present He has met with hearty
sympathy in his work, and has the
support Of the leading clergymen Of the
city, and OF scores OF prominent business
men. Here and there his methods are criti-
cisco, but no sympathetic opposition has
been developed against him. Rev. DR..
Crane, speaking from an experience Of
eighteen years in Hartford, says that he has
not known the churches and the community
to be so deeply impressed with sense Of
the Divine presence as is now the case.
Afternoon services will be held four days
this week. MONDAY prayer-meetings every
day, and preaching at the Rink every even
ing except Saturday. The work embraces
all classes and interests, and is the most ef
fective, probably, ever witnessed in the
State.

Bank OF Hanover, Pa, are old residents,
and have hitherto been considered respecta-
Bile. 1t has been discovered that the bust
ness OF selling counterfeit money has been
carried on very extensively in this county
OF late. Irwin confesses he paid twenty
five dollars for hundred dollars OF the
stuff, which he bought Of a man travelling
through the county. The spurious money
offered in this section is mostly fiyes on the
Hanover and Tamaqua Banks, although
there have been tWenties and fifties on the

The local detectives propose descent on

Fourth. They demand that the currency

Mr.. VOORHEES, concluded by quoting from
articles he had noticed in certain eastern
newspapers in regard to rights OF the bond
holder, the duty OF the laboring classes, and
the policy that should be pursued by capi-
talists to counterfeit the effect Of anticipated
legislation on the silver question, and said:
"Sir, have no word of menace to utter
on this floor, but in behalf OF every laborer
and every owner OF the soil I represent,
warn all such as value their investments
that when these doctrines Of despotism are
sought to be enforced this fair land Will
again be convulsed, and the fires of liberty
will blaze forth again as they did one hun
dred wears ago In defence Of the natural
rights OF man. Applause in the galleries.
May the wisdom Of our fathers and the be-
nightly Of our God avert such all issue.
But il it shall come, il infatuation has seized
our councils, the result will only add one
more instance to the long catalogue OF
human crime, and follow where avarce,
like ambition, overleaps itself, and in its
unholy attempt to rob others OF their pos
sessions loses its own" lGreat applause in
the galleries.

Mr.. Bibb's crop Of tobacco from the land

Correspondence OF the Richmond DiSpatch.l
JANUARY II, 1878.
In my report OF the proceedings in the
Hastings Court Of last week / omitted to
mention that three negroes were convicted
OF petit larceny and were sentenced to re-
ccivc the lash.
The most remarkable case that has been
before Danvi!e court for many years was
that OF Marshall McCraw. This negro fel-
low some months ago committed an assault
upon a most excellent lady in the suburbs
OF the city, was driven away by negro
man who was in the employ OF har hus-
band and happened to be on the premises at
the time, and escaped to Washington city.
After a time his place OF concealment was
discovered, and on arequisition from Mayor
Luck he was arrested and brought here for
trial. His conduct during the preliminary
examination is said to have been very Often
siyc At the end of q trial in the Hastings
Court, which was about the middle OF last
week, the jury gave verdict for eighteen
Years in the penitentarY; but this verdict
was set aside, and new trial was granted.
During the second trial, which was held on
Saturday, it was proved by additional testi-
mony that his purposes in making the as
sault were Of the most outrageous charac-
ter and the verdict was again given for
eighteen years.
Nir. James r. Aiillner, who has for seve-
raj years been manufacturing tobacco at
Axiom, in this county. recently purchased
the residence and the tobacco factory Of Mr..
James NJ. Walker, OF North Danville, and
will settle in that city and prosecute the bust
ness Of manufacturing.
