THE GREAT RELIGIOUS CONVENTIONS.

THE GREAT RELIGIOUS CONJENIIOAS.
Any student of American social life who
wishes to gain a correct idea of the present
status of the religious world, or rather of the
church going part of the population of the
States, could find very fair indications of it in
the reports of the great congregational con-
ventiOns held during last week. Almost every
phase Of opinion or mode OF relormatory action
of the Protestant community was brought up
for discussion in one or other of these meet
ings and was invariably handled with the free
dom and shrewdness which characterize native
Americans in business or in religion.
In Philadelphia the Friends have just closed
their annual meeting. The modern Quakers com.
ing to town for the May meeting do not resemble
groups of the Shining Ones perhaps SO much as
did those of poor Lambs day; but their calm,
heavy unimaginatiye faces are a warranty
wherever they 20 for a substantial amount of
honesty, moderation, strict justice, kindness,
and solid lump of worldly belongings some
where in the community. Part OF the steady
worldly success usual to the people of this sect
is doubtless due to the unreaxing oversight
exercised over the business affairs of each in
diyidual by the meeting. AS soon as a mem
Der begins to exceed his income, to fall into
debt, or to encourage undue luxury in his
Ia household. he Is subjected to discipline, and if

A man whose prospect of being hanged may
be said to be good has tried to Kill himself in
the Tombs. The hope of acQuttal is generally
so strong in every criminals breast that suicide
is hardly feared by the jailers until after the
last chance is gone. But the bungling manner
in which Leighton was put to death was ap-
parently too much for the nerves of this Scotch
wife-murderer. Hanging with neatness and
dispatch he might have endured; but the pros
pect of death at the hands of a clumsy ex-
ecutioner was awful enough to make self
destruction inviting even before his trial.

Of the Irish assassination and then discusses
the question of responsibility as it is defined,
not by the English Radicals who have been
preaching submission to the Parnelites, but
by the mass of the Nation. He is disposed to
take very serious view of that responsibility
so far as the Parnellites and the Radicals are
concerned. We have not hesitated to hoid the
Land League leaders largely accountable 1or
the demOralizing tendencies OF systematic law
breaking. We have shrunk, however, from
carving the argument to the length which the
aggressive elements of English society have
done. Our correspondents estimates of the
range and force of public sentiment in the
present crisis are of the utmost value and his
letters will make, if we mistake not, pro-
found impression upon our American public.
Usually there is tedious waiting to learn
what an investigating committee has found
out; but the present Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee furnishes an exception. Its counsel an
nounces that no evidence has been offered
which sustans the accusations against the ex-
Attorney General, Hamilton Ward. This officer
was charged with having acted in collision
with the managers of the elevated roads,
and not IN behalf of the people. lie has tie
clared from the first that he had no interest
except what an Attorney General should have
had in the suits, and none in the stock OF the
roads, and that he discharged his duties faith
fully. Ii would have been public msiOr-
tune if Mr.. Ward had not been vindcated.
Another point emphasized by the result of The
committees investigation yesterday is that
people ought to be cautious III their
charges against public officers. The ALE
gaticns of Mr.. Rufus F. Andrews
against Mr.. Shafer and Judge West
brook fell to the ground, and the accuser was
covered with confusion. If Mr.. Andrews had
been less reckless he might not now be reallz-
ing so bitterly what it is to be a catSpaw.
The expectation that the Democrats in the
House would not be able tC maintain the de-
cent and proper attitude which they assumed
toward the contested election case Of
Lynch against Chalmers has proved to
be correct. Again, as pure and simple
obstIucfiOuists, they are in accord with
the traditions and practices of tier
party They have refused to consider the case OF
Mackey against O'COnnOr from the I'D Dis
trict of South Carolina, sullenly ahstaining
from voting, and thus preventing quorum OF
the House. A rOll-cal showed that the Re
publican Representatives are not without
blame for this delay of justice. Twenty-Five
of them were absent from their seats. Some
have promised to return by Tuesday, but
owing to their failure to appear tomorrow
another day will probably be wasted by
the ilibustering of the minority. Despite this
disregard of the rights of voters which
the Democrats are now showing, they will
undoubtedly have the assurance to insert
in their next National platform a plank
like the one they had in the lastproiessing a
determination to insist that the right to free
ballot shall be maintained in all the States

The English Liberals have been very fortunate in
the hye-eocti0ns which have followed the assassin
atoms IN Phoenix Park. Mr.. lrevelyan represented
80 strong constituency in Scotland that his recec-
ton was not opposed by the Conservatives. The
vacancy caused by the death OF Lord Frederick
Cavendish has now been filled by the election of the
Liberal candidate with over 1000 votes to spare.
The lamented nobleman's majority was SCI in 1874,
and 3.G7s in 1850 The bye-electOn naturally re-
duces the Liberal vote, but the gains of the Con-
servatives not nearly SO large they expected
TO make i'll exceptional a crisis with so conspicu-
GUS a candidate rs thoy had. The contest occurred
in the West Riding Northern Division, Yorkshire,
and is remarkable that the Liberal losses not
more serious In the North Riding, Yorkshire, the
party recently made determined effort TO elect
tenant-farmer, but owing to the detection of prom
inent Wing landholders, were badly defeated.
A suggestion which we recently made in regard
to public subscriptions in behalf of the wife and
daughter of Lieutenant Commander De Long has
attracted considerable attention. 1t has been fol-
lowed by the publication of rumOr that Mr. Ben
nett himself intended to devote $40 900 or $4,000
TO this object We are glad to find that there were
substantial warrants for this statement The
Herald announces that, with OF without the action
of Congress or of the public will be taken of
the widow and orphan of De Long, and not of them
alone but of every widow and every orphan of the
men who have sailed with the Jeanette and have
pershed.n This will be welcome news TO tho pub
lie whose sympathes have been touched by the pro-
tracted suflerngsa and melancholy fateof these Arctic
wanderers. Mr.. Benefits generosity is proper and
characteristic, and will be recognized by the press of
the the country. We think however, that The Herald
underestmates the credit which he would have
gained if the Jeanette expedition had been con-
spicnOus success instead of a failure. Payer and
Weyprecht were the heroes of the Franz-Josef Land
exploration, but Count Wizek's only title TO fame
is the fact that he the patron of the expedition,
and has given his name to its main discovery.

Some interesting facts about the deposits of
petroleum in Mexico are given in a letter from
an occasional correspondent which we print in
another column. SO much oil has been found
oozng from the surface of the earth that
certain Boston capitalists are about to sink
wells near the seaport of Tuxpam. There
have always been good surface indications Of
oil at many places on the Pacific coast III
Southern California. Traces described as ex-
listing in Mexico seem to resemble those which
are seen not far from Point Conception, where
attempts TO sink wells have not been successful.
The warning of our correspondent against
hasty speculation in Mexican petroleum lands,
therefore is not out of season.

The pleasant warmth in the air is not the
only sign that the tardy spring has arrived
Places of summer resort present scenes of bus
tie and activity. Preparations for the opening
of the season at Coney Island, Long Branch
and Newport are well under way. Some of
the hotels at Coney Island will be ready for
shivering guests within a week. The storms
of the winter did not cause unusual damage
there, but the attempts TO restore the
bathing ground at certain points by jet
ties do not seem to have been success
full. The lovers OF outdoor sports are
also busy with summer arrangements. The
tracks are being prepared for races of horses
and men, and baseball players and lovers OF
lawn tennis are up and doing.

A Daring Ia nix Robbery.

KEwAuNEE, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-This af-
tprnoOn two men called at the First
National Bank in this city and asked
permission to leave satchei short
time. About o'clock, while Cashier
Pratt and a lady assistant, Miss Palmer,
were cashing up for the day, the men
knocked on the door and asked for the
satchel. Miss Palmer opened the door,
when one man grabbed her by the neck
and kicked her nearly insensibie. The
other man rushed by her toward the
vault, near which Pratt was standing,
and struck him on the head with re-
v0lver, knocking him senseless. Pratt
and Miss Palmer were then forced into
the vault. The men secured about
100000, Of which $4,000 was in gold
coin, and walked out Of town. Pratt
and Miss Palmer, after working over
an hour, succeeded in breaking the lock
ard released themselves. Both are
badly injured. Parties are securing
the country in every direction.

A correspondent Of the London Pail
Mall Gazette says in reference to the
way the British gold coinage becomes
light, that about 1864 he had occasion
to make experiments. to test the wear
ard tear, and these led to the conclu-
sion that, for all practical purposes, gold
coins might as well be made Of pure
gold until their surface is worn Off and
they become light. The hard alloy gold
was net reached till then. When the
coin comes from the mint its surface is
''standard gold, the SINE as the rest
of it, but in order to give the new coins
t cir brilliant appearance they are
"pickled" or colared, by dipping in dlu-
tel acid. This acid dissOlves the alloy
from the surface, and leaves only the
pure gold exposed to wear, and it being
soft is soon removed, making the coins
iigb, with greater rapidity in the early
stag of their existence than later on.
These conclusions were arrived at by
experiments on fresh minted sovereigns,
washed, melted and assayed, and on
new sovereigns from which the surface
has been rubbed by scraping with steel
brushes. The results of the different
assays bore out this view.

The Virginia Chronicle says {:

The President knew what he was
about when he vetoed the River and
Harhnr bill. Bef.re writing his mes
saee he had an officer Of the Engineer
Corps, says the New York Commercial
Adrertiser, go over the bill item ny item
and ascertain whether the alleged
improvements were national or purely
local in their character. Some were
found to he private or personal, as in
the case of a small stream in New York
State, which has several thousand dol
lars appropriated for it il order to ben
eft the proprietor of Il Summer hotel,
who wanted u sand bar removed so an
excursion steamer could land tourists st
his dnnr. The President made a
thorough study Of the mea- ure and SAW
clearly that he could not honestly ap-
prove it.
Had Congressman Cassidy given the
bill the same careful inspection he
might not have voted for it. In Con-
gress ar out of it Cassidy's vote has
generally been recorded in the afiirma-
tive for any bill where there Was a
UiOb."
