The Way Ont Of III.

1t has occurred to us that the best way
out ofthe deadlock in the Senate is for
all possible pressure to be brought upon
the Democrats. There is no other way.
The Republicans have nailed their flag
to the masthead. General Burnside, Sena-
tor Sherman, and General Hawley yester-
day gave voice to the unanimous deter
mination of the majority never to yield
to othereYolutionary action of the minority.
All the powerful interests which are anx-
ious for the transaction of executive
business have been brought to bear
for several days upon the Republi-
cans. Many usually well-informed
persons predicted that there would be
executive sessions pending the struggle
for majority rule. But, to the surprise of
nearly all, the Republicans on Monday
set their faces determinedly against any
step either backward or sideways The
only thing left is for all who can be heard
to appeal to the Democrats to cease their
futile and unreasonable course. The
Bourbon visitors to the White House
might receive good advice there.
They are always ready to make known
their wants, as it is proper they should
do. Let them be made to understand

MORE COMMENTS.

MacVeagh will be Attorney General
himself, no matter how many Chambers rotate
around him, and he can get along with Chandler
by reading the riot act to him ut the start, and
fearlesSy dismissing him whenever he shall at
tempt to bring the Department of Justice into dis
repute. If Garfield shall stand by himself there is
nothing in the present trouble to warrant disso-

An Ethical Discourse

The recent efforts of two leading
preachers to create a revival of religion in
the community of which they are part
was comparative failure. This result
has occasioned some criticism, and MANY
good people are lamenting that the old
revival spirit seems 10 have died out
among the people, and that society is
given over to frivolity, and is no longer
affected by these appeals to their highest
interests.
We cannot believe that this assumption
is warranted. The fact is rather an indica-
ton that thoughtand deep feeling of per
sonal responsibility has become the basis
ofreiigiousaction. While all mankind are
subject to the appeals Of eloquence, and
especially so upon religious subjects, it is
also true that the more intelligent per-
sons become the more cautious and
reserved they are in giving way
to momentary impulse The re-
markable success of the revivalists
IN England few years ago was among
what are termed the lower class-the
less intelligent. This class scarcely exists
in this country at the present time. Edu-
cation, intelligence, the process Of reason
ing on all subjects is the rule among
American people. To claim that this is
disa advantageous to an appreciation of re-
!igious truths would be to argue that the
general dissemination of knowledge is
ruinous to the minds of men, On the
contrary, if we are not mistaken
in our estimate of the public, the
progress of earnest religious thought
and the conviction of religious re-
sponsibility. grows with the growth of
intelligence Itperhaps indicates itself
In other ways than formerly, accepting
its mission more humbly, doing its task as
personal matter of daily duty, and hid
ing its belief in the modesty of reserve.
The truths which may have been uttered
in revival meeting, as well as at other
times, are not lost on this class of think
ing people. They do not respond with
the former ardor and impetuosity, but the
fruit is shown in the gradual unfolding of
their lives. Without entering upon re-
ligious topics in the least, it seems to us
that the people indicate in their general
lives the spirit Of true religious growth.
