don't suppose the young man who wrote and

this sermon of mine, is any better than ne
need be, or is really too good for this world.
And he knows, and you know, and we all
know, that society, and the mercantile world
does not look with suspicion and aversion upon
Sunday school superintendsnts. They are not
bad men, You can't run man out OF town,
or put him in Jail, or hang him for being a
Sunday school superintendent They used to
do such things. People used to hate Sunday
school superintendents just as cordially as this
young man appears to, and they would hang
them or burn them, as was most convenient.
same people would have burned or hanged the
editor of the Boston Herald for having the
type and presses to print yonr little advertise

as they would sacrifice the superintendent

THE GREAT VICTORIES.
Address of the Republican Nation
al Committee.
GARFIELD'S MAJORITY MUST BE
MADE OVERWHELMING.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The following ad dress
was issued today by the Republican National
Committee:
To the Republican Voters of the Union.
The elections Of Tuesday last clearly shows
2hat with continued zeal and systematic effort
the Republican triumdh in November will be
complete end overwhelming. Our plurality in
Ohio is about $4,000, being gain Of 5000 over
the exceptionally large plurality of 1872 while
gain of six members. Our plurality in lndi-
ana reaches about 1000, being gain OF 1000
upoL the Democratic plurality Of 1879. In the
Legislature We have majority OF Il, in con-
rrast with Democratic majority OF Is in the
last legislature thus gaining United States
Senator. OF - Congressional districts have
been carried, making gain of members.
The result in each State, and especially In
Ohio, is conclusive answer OF the people to the
false and malignant assaults upon the personal
characte- of our candidate for President. Both
these victories are the results Of spontaneous
.and enthusiastic uprising of the people in
favor of patriotic principles, enlightened legis-
lation and good government. That in Indiana
has been won in spite of lavish expenditure of
money by the Democratic candidate for Vice
purpose, and by Eas, ern emissarles, who in
1876 vainly attempted to purchase the Presi-
denky, and have recently traversed that State
shouting against, and at the same time per-
petrating, frauds made possible by the loosest
election laws existing in any State in the
Union, and which were purpoSely retained in
force by the Democratic judicial outrage. 1t
is apparent from these results that if the Re-
publicans relax no exertion every Northern
State will choose Republican Presidential
electors, while it is not improbable that some
of the Southern States will give their votes for
Garfield and Arthur.
OF the seventeen members necessary to
make the next House Republican, eleven have
already been ga ned and a full result is reas-
onab,y certain. Six senators necessary to make
the senate with the Vice President Republican
will probably be secured from Ohio and Indi-
ana (already gained), and from Pennsylvania,
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Let no possible effort be spared to make the
Republican majority on the electoral vote so
large as to arrest the perils of disputed
count. and the majority in the next House
SO decisive that there can be no conflict in its
organization.

THE CORWIN's CRUISE.
No Tidings Of the Missing Whalers-The
Jeanette Believed to be Safe

No Tidings of the Missing Whalers-The
Jeanette Believed to be Safe.
WAsHINaToN, Oct. l5.-The following tele-
gram was received at the Treasury Depart
ment, to-day:
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A.
To John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury:
Dear Sir-The revenue steamer Corwin has
arrived, nine and one-half days from Onaas-
ka, all well. The Corwin left the Arctic ocean,
Sept. 30, and was in sight of Wrangel Land
Sept. z, but could not get nearer than %
miles on account of the heavy pack of ice.
The ocean had already commenced to close up
and the Corwin having steamed over 10000
miles inside the Arctic circle and examined
every port where it was possible for her to
reach without gaining any tidings of the mis-
sing vessels. gave up the search. There is
thought to be no hope for them. The explor-
ing steamer Jeanette is believed to be all
right or she would have been heard from as
they were well fitted for travelling over ice
and in case OF an accident to the vessel the
crew could easily feach the mainland.

The Presidents Visit to Washington Ter
ritory.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ia despatch from
New Tacoma, W. T., says: The Presidential
party left Port Townsend yesterday morning
and passed out into Fuca Straits, where the
swell from the ocean was quite severe and sew
eral of the party were sea sick. Utsalady, on
Camano Island was soon reached, where the
steamer tied up for the night. The people
we're surprised, no intimation having been Civ.
Ell that the President would visit them. Mrs.
Hayes soon had the cabin full of children, to
whom she distributed apples add dainties. All
the party walked ashore, where squalid COM
pany of Indians were camped, and had an OPP
portunity of seeing the red man in the most de-
graded state. The boat started at o'clock,
passing through Agate Pass and reaching Ia
coma at l o'clock. Salutes were fired as the
boat approached the dock, which was
crowded with people. One hundred school
children, bearing flowers, were stationed SO as
to form passageway, through which the party
marched, the President and Mrs Hayes shak-
ing hands with each of the little ones, and a
public reception followed at the residence of
Gen. Sprague, where the usual speeches were
made by the President, Secretary Ramsey and
Gen. Sherman. The party left by special
train for Katama at o'clock.

The Ladies' Deposit of Boston to be
Overhauled-The Liabilities Of the Con-
Germ over 100000.
BOSTON, Mass, Oct. illegal proceedings
of very summary character are about to take
shape for the relief of depositors in the "La-
dies Deposit" A bill in equity has been
drawn in the names of one or more clients,
and probably will be presented at Court to-
morrow. The complainants recite the charac-
ter of the so-called bank, and allege that nu-
merous suits at law have been commenced by
depositors who have been unable to obtain
funds intrusted to respondents, and the re-
mainder of the funds held by Sarah E. Howe,
new subject to numerous attachments, are in
danger of being wasted in costs attending such
litigation. Mrs. Howe, the manager of the in
stitution, to-day secured a mortgage upon the
furniture and personal proper in the house
where its banking business was conduced in
East Brookline street. The amount of liabili-
ties of the concern is not known, and is vari
ously estimated by parties who have given at
tention to the circumstances from 100000 to
81, 100000.

OHIO.

The Republican Majority 10000.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 15.-Unofficial returns have
now been received from all the counties of
Ohio, which show Townsend's majority for
Secretary of State to be 1882.
In several counties containing large cities
Townsend was cut con siderably on account of
his temperance record. This did not have its
effect upon the balance of the ticket and
hence the majority for all the other cand-
dates will be fully 10000.
