SENATOR MAHoNE Al REPUBLIC
GAN, 5

"r . ~ g.
Monday of last week was an exciting day
IN the United States Senate and resulted in
removing the political mask Gen. Malone
has SO long worn. The Republioaus ems
dsayored to defeat tho. Organization of the
Senate by a motion to go into executive ses.
nien, and upon this motion Gea. Malone
voted with the Republicans. Then followed
aspicy debate between Senators Csnklipg
and Ben. Hill, in which the latter, without
naming any one, commented vigorously on
the cOnducto of any Senator, elected by Demos
Gratis and giving his vote to the enemies of
tha. party, and characterized such action as
trsachery to the State he represented and
the party he claimed to belong to. His al
l%usions. while informal, could not be mista>
ken as intended to apply to Malone, and
they were SO severe, az to bring hin eat in
reply. In vehement style and with frantic
cancellations, he announced his purpose to
act Independently of the Democratic party,
and INDUCED IN the generalities which have
for so long been the chief stock in trade of
Republican speakers about Bourbon Dsnoc>
raey, free ballots and fair counts. Senator
Hills reply was a "~faying alive" of the Re,
publican Senator from Virgins.

ASIgnlaeant change Of Views,

roryears the leader Of the liberal clergy
dyew York, and to a degree Of the free
thinkers Of this country, was octavius
gDoks rockingham, originally a Uni
nd,p but lattcrly too radical in his views
b,eyen that denomination. At the same
fine he WAS respectful in his treatment Of
oDDondats, and appealed rather to reason
6,n feeling, and thus won the consideration
othose who most regretted his position.
All were compelled to admit his candor
and bis ability, even when they deplored
tbe cause in which they were exercised.
II. gradually drew to him the many literary
men and women without fixed religious be-
Iiel and the church became noted for the
character Of It's congregations. But he also
drew about him less desirable Claas
Of free thinkers, Of whom he himself said {;
"IatactCd radicals OF the most extraordi-
nary character, who imagined that, as a
radical preacher, must also be q radical
in everything else. l was expected to give
moral and material assistance to any one
whose IDEAS Of right and wrong differed
from those Of other people, and my inde.
pendent church became sort Of magnet
tor queer and not altogether pleasant per-
ons,' 1t was no doubt this state OF affairs
which induced him to take new channel
Oi.houglt, as result OF which he has re.
Gently delivered utterances Which are at.
tracting the attention OF the whole world,
Among these is this remarkable statement:
THAT revealed religion, as we call 1t, is
stronger to-day than II was twenty years
49, have no doubt. 1t Is stronger here
and in Europe, Notwithstanding the much.
talked Of German materialism; and the re.
Lyon Of to-day Is all the stronger than
that Of twenty years ago, in that 1t is
throwing Off the accretions Of ignorance
and presents fewer features incompatible
with good sense and charity. Looking
back over the last twenty years no careful
student OF such matters can deny this
healthinl process, and I, who have stood
llOOi from all the revealed religion during
that time, cannot but acknowledge that It's
opponents have made no headway what
ever" -
Eleis not yet prepared, he adds, to ac-
ctpt revealed religion, but IT "does not
seem 50 groundless" and unreasonable to
him as it once did, and he is willing to
ldnitthat tree.thinking ''lCads to nothing"
and it is therefore better to ''stop denying.
These uttcrances, coming from the ablest
and most conscientious Of skeptics, will do
much to stem the tide Of irreligon, and will
deserycdly be quoted from every pulpit in
The land as Indicating the force Of the
Christian religion. Nothing more worthy
oiattention has occupied the mind Of the
religious world, and nothing more remark
able could occur but the conversion Of Bob
InversOll.

THE FRENCIf REVOLUTION.
A Lecture on Americas Influence on the
Era BIZ EN.MInIater white.

New YoRK, December i.-Str. Andrew
b. White, President Of the Cornell Univer.
sity, and late Minister to Germany, deliv.
cred an address last night at meeting to
commemorate the seventyseventh ami
yersary OF the organization Of the New
York Historical Society. The interest felt
in the address made II necessary TO provide
n larger auditorium than that Of the hall OF
the society, therefore the church at Thirty.
seventh street and Fifth avenue was se-
lccted.
Mr.. White was introduced by Mr., Benz.
II. Field, who presided in the absence Of
the President. Mr.. Whites subject was:
gAmerican Influence Upon the French
Revolution" lie said that he believed
that from the decline oil the 1IOman Empire
To our. own civil war nothing gave more
conclusive evidence that a divine purpose
ruled the world than the French reVolu.
ton, and American influence had its effect
upon France at The very beginningoi the
American struggle. The proof the pfacti.
cability Of the revolutionary thought was
furnished by America, and the men who
ruled In France in 1874 were influenced by
American thought The word "liberty"
and the idea Of equality came to France
from America. But besides the great In.
huences, and first among these was the in.
fuence exerted by franklin. Then" said
Mr., White, turn from franklin TO the ne1t
