NEW YORK.
FROM our REGULAR cORREsroxDESr.

NEw YORK, Feb. 2s, 1881.
A fresh start was made in Brooklyn this
week in the work of saving the ungodly
people Of that hitherto supposed christian
city. For many years past Brooklyn has
enjoyed the reputation OF being the City OF
Churches, and so far as buildings devoted to
religious purposes are concerned Of course
this is true, but when the attendance al these
places of worship is compared with other
cities not so highly favored, in proportion
to population, there is sad deficiency In
the numbers of the devout. Besides the
fact that some Of the aLlest and most brill-
ant orators among the clergyman Of the
world are located there, led to the belief that
wickedness was the exception, and would
soon disappear under their vigorous on
slaughts. But eyer since the Moody and
Sankey revival four years ago, there has
been gradual falling OIL among the faith
iul. and the prediction at the time by many
of the more worldly, that the excitement
would soon die away and no substantial re-
suits remain, seems To have been verified.
But now all this 10 10 be changed, aud the
ungodly of that baeksliding city are to be
leelured, coaxed, threatened, and, if neees-
sary, bulldosed into coming forward TO be
saved. Mr., Beecher led off the campaign
last week by announcing that he had can
celled all bis lecture engagements and will
open with season Of reyivals, to be pro +,
longed indefinitely. This action is takcA
by many here as n sort Of latter day repent
ance for hitherto wandering and avarici-
Gus spirit, and as a sign that be intends to
reform, and lead better and moro useful
life among those who pay him SO priDcely
a salary. And yesterday DR.. Tahnage fol
lowed suit, and, in onler not 70 be behind
his rival in the enntest for snu.s, announced
that he would start his campaign this even
ing, assisted by corps Of workers. 200 voices
in the ehoir and popular eOrnet snloist.-
Well, il is to be hoped that other eminent
Brooklyn preachers will join in The battles
now about TO take place, and that the great
enemy will be oouqvrrsd, snl that thous-

THE FIREMEN.

To Take Part in Decoration Day Parade
An adjourned meeting of tho Fircmen's
Union was held in the hall of the
Friendship last evening to take action
ON the parading of the department on Do
coration day.
There was a good attendance Of dele.
gates, and it was left to the option of the
several companies to parade or not, but as
two or three have signified their intention
Of turning out, on motion Of Harry N.
Howell, Peter B. Fordney of the Shifiler
was elected chief marshal, and Chas. L.
Landis, of the American, and Thos. C..
Wiley, of the Empire, assistant marshals of

A Kilkenny right.

A Washington correspondent tele-
graphs that the president declared that
the election of Conkling will be consider.
ed by him as declaration. of war on the
administration by those who vote for
him. Whether or not this was said,
there can he no doubt that this is SUBJ
stantially the position. Conkling re.
signed to seek reelection as an endorse.
ment by the Republican Legislature of
New York of his course in opposing
Robertson's confirmation. His election
will be Garfield's condemnation by the
Legislature. Consequently the presi-
dent is found endeavoring to control,
with all the power of the administration,
the senatorial election in New York.
That this is not using a legiti-
mate influence is not to be dis
puted. 1t is just as much out of
place for the president to dictate
to q Legislature that it shall not elect to
the Senate his enemy, as that a senator
shall forbid the president to make his
foe collector of the port. GARFIELD was
right in refusing to be dictated to by
Conkling and il he wants to show that
he did right in this case, not because it
was right, but because he thereby hurt
his enemy, he is pursuing a very sure
way to SO demonstrate by interfering
in the senatorial contest, in which
his right to interfere clearly does not ex-
ist, and to which he can only be prompt

The Netc Era declares for investigation,
and that, if it is made, tho ''palpable fraud
of counting Fridy in will be exposed if it
is not made he cannot be regarded rs the
Republican nominee.
The Examiner nails Fridy's name to it's
mast head and proposes to keep it there !;
alleging the prep0nderance Of fraud in
Skiles's favor, and that Sensenig bought
return judges and was only Outwitted in
his supposed purchase of Raymond.
Ed. Martin and Major ReinOehl made 4
trip to Raymond's country yesterday, and
it is understood that they captured and
brought to this city an election clerk from
lower Mt. Joy who will swear that the
above return is false, and that it was mado
in this city by Raymond, and that this
clerks name was forged to it. On this
and other evidence it is proposed to prose-
cute Raymond. and to reconvene the re-
turn judges within twenty days and re-
open Skiles's case.
On the other hand, a reliable gentleman
from the Springville district assures MS
that there aoere 72 votes duly polled in that
district, as reported, and Ill at Strickler's
School House. In neither district is the
vote returned much moro than twO-thirds
of the Republican vote of last fall !; and in
the above districts while the total vote of
Saturday was ST., at the election in 1880
it was 932-a fall off of 355. On the other
hand, the Fridy people allege that the
following districts, which went strongly
for Skiles-he receiving q total of 811 votes
in them out of 1151-shOw such an increase
over the utmost Republican vote as makes
out prima facie case of fraud in Skiles's
interest

The local Republican politicians arc still

.jority of people have settled down to their
business and the street corners of the city
have resumed their wOnted quiet, with
the retirement of tho hired heelers and
subsidized clacquers of the factions.
Those who have been looking for tho
arrest of Harve Raymond or tho publica-
tiOn of proofs of his alleged frauds have
as yet been disappointed. The Nep Era

1879 some charges it made against him
then and, with reference to his opera
tions this year, it says this els where and

An Old Engineer.

Terrence McGovern, of Palo Alto, the
oldest engineer in the employ of the Phil
adelphia & Reading railroad company,
has had an immense funeral. He had
been on the road for thirty-twO years. On
Thursday last he took his train to Phil
adelphia as usual, and with the intention
of bringing it back. While in the city he
became possessed with a strong desire TO
return home. He was in good health and
spirits at the time, and could not account
for tho sudden whim which possessed
him. He returned as a passenger, and
shortly after reaching home died. Had
he gone home on his own train he would
probably have died in the cab, and seri-
GUS if not fatal accident might very we'll
have been the consequence.

ing. The bill repeating part of the act Of
April 1S, 1878, enlarging the duties Of re-
corders in cities of the first class was on the
calendar for second reading, but no one

zation of signal corps failed on final pas.

The House bill to relieve building assO-
Citations from taxation was considered on
second reading, and objected to by Mr.;
Everhart on constitutional points. The
points were submitted to the Senate, but
without action the whole subject was post
poned for the present. The prohibition
amendment to the state constitution wa!
considered. The House bill creating 3
loan to redeem maturing bonds of thu
state was passed finally. The House bill!
to prevent pool playing for drinks, and tt
prevent the sale of liquors at places o

A Warm Discussion.

The temperance crusade in Reading has
produced one very lively incident. The
other evening violent speeches were made
against F. Lauer, the brewer, at the con-
clusion of which Rev. J. N. Spear, who
was on the stage, arose and fOrcibly de-
Tended Laucr. He said he was q temper
ate, charitable man and did not merit the
calumny heaped upon his head. The per-
son in charge of the meeting, w M. Wan
nemacher, excitedly arose, seized Mr..
Spear by the collar and ordered him to
leave the stage. Great excitement pre-
vailed and the reverend gentleman hastily
departed. He wrote bitter letter to the
press and promises to organize a new
movement
