To serve the present age our pockets We must l
Well make him work for wages now, but never

Arm me with jealous care, to make him know his

And If he does not vote for me, I'll blow out all

IT is time, full time the American people,
and especially the people of the North,
should begin to reflect more seriously than
they ever have before, upon the holowness
of our forms of government as illustrated
by the administration OF affairs in the
South Even n casual research of this kind
develops the fact that representative gov
eminent in that section is q mockcry, and q
mockery that thrusts its venomous inhu-
cnces away across the thresholds of national
power. The reported acquittal of "Reprc-
sentative" Hull of Florida, lately on trial
for tampering with the ballot-boxcs at his
own election, furnishes a striking example
of this meaning. Here was n man indicted
on the most positive proof of completely in
the election frauds, tried before the United
States court and acquitted, if reports are
true, in the face Of all law and the most
damning facts to prove his guilt These facts
embraced letter written by HULL himself,
directing the manner in which the frauds
were to be committed, and Offering reward
for their commission. There was not II

of any one cOnycrsant with the testimony
in the case. But he was n Democrat; q ma
jority of the jurors before whom he was
tried were of the same political faith the
social and political appliances of ramihed
Democratic influences were brought to bear
upon the entire twelve, and it seems that he
is to be permitted to return to Washington
instead Of being sent to Albany-a recog-
nzed law-maker instead of condemned
breaker. His vote will hereafter count
in the House rs an offset to that of any
legally-electcd, law-abiding member from
the North or Of the Republican party. In
this way the Confederate majority in both
Houses has been built upand is being main
tanned. How long will the people of the
North submit to such Outrages?

THE question at present is, shall we give

the spirit Of those who offered their lives in

by the ex-slaveholding element, they do not
propose to allow the execution of any such
plans, but intend to Standby what they
fought and rally once and once again. until

the old slave power are forever practically

THE very best information from the in
side circles of the Democratic camp is to the
effect that the Bourbon leaders are sadly

The impudence of the Democratic ma
jority in the Senate in attempting to arraign
Senator ANTHONY for an alleged violation
of the laws giving preference to Union sol
diers in the matter Of official appointments
will deceive no one. Thevery small amount
of dust raised by it has been allayed by his
explanation of the circumstances of the
case, which is more than can be said of the
clouds upon clouds that were raised by the
expulsion of Union soldiers from Office to
make place for rebels, of which this same
Democratic majority stands accused and
convicted.

very strong actions, have they declared
time and time again that they would repeal
all those laws which are in the interest of
freedom that became inscribed on the stat

Mr.. CHALMERS advice to the Governor
of Mississippi to arrest the officers of any
steamboat engaged in the especial traffic of
transporting colored refugees from that
State to the North is another impudcnt as
sertion of the independent sovereignty of
the States. The Mississippi River is a ma
tionol public highway, over which the COM
merce of the world may float subject only
to such regulations as may be prescribed by
the Government of the United States. ANY
attempt to interfere with vessel of any
description which had complied with those
regulations will amount to open defiance of
the authority of that Government. 1t is
very strange, but nevertheless very natural
that whenever one of these confirmed Con-
tederate Brigadcrs like CHALMERs opens
his mouth to say anything regarding public
affairs where there is a possibility of taking
sides for or against the Government, he is
certain to be found arrayed against it.

III the recent case, the unfortunate
victim Of careless practice was on the fifth

Young THOMPSON opened the hhll-door, and
reached over for the rope with the purpose
of starting the elevator upwards. It is
thought that another young man ut the first
story pulled the rope at the same time, and
with the came purpose, and that THOMPSON
was thus jerked over md lost his balance

be correct, the accident is. directly due to
the loose practice which prevailed in the use
of the elevator, and strict official supervision
Is probably the only safe protection against
the frequent recurrence Of such accidents,
and the suppression Of the reckless system

PROBABLE DROPPING or THE CASE AGAINST


YESTERDAY.


The Presbytery of Brooklyn will meet this after
noon at two O'Clock in the Second Presbyte
rian Church. on Clinton and Fulton streets
to hear and act upon the report Of the
committee DIR. Talmage's common fame
The Doctors sermon yesterday morning on
the doom of ssctaranism interpreted by many
persons having relation to this matter without.
however. any direct reference to it. During the
Sabbath the tongue of common fame was busy again
reporting that the committee to-day would present
a report recommending that DR.. Talmaee be dropped
from the roll of the Presbytery. HERALD reporter
sought information on the subject yesterday. and
saw Dr. Crosby. chairman of the committee. who
very smiingly answered the inquiry by saying
that the committee is a close mouthed one and that
any report that is out did not originate with them
that nobody knows what they will recommend until
they make that report to-day. "But." he added
"you know oil sorts of stories afoat about DR..
Talmage. most Of which without any basis of
truth" The reporter next asked Dr. Crosby whether
the committee would not recommend that the whole
matter be dropped but he declined to answer either


Major Corwin. Of the Tabernacle. was also spoken
to about the report He laughed at the idea of the
Presbytery dropping DR.. Tamage the committee
making any such recommendation. and ntimated
that he had not heard of the nature of the
committees report. The Presbytery. he said. had
nothing to do with tho church.


Elder Freeman also OF the Tabernacle. thought it
more likely that the committee would recommend
that the matter be dropped than that DR.. Tamage
be dropped. "They have tossed it about" said he

and they would be glad now to get rid of it. The
Presbytory could not take the action indicated ii
they would without Judicial trial first. And then
Dr. 1almage would have the right Of appeal
to the synod and Assembly before any ad-
decision could be of force against him." In the
West Dr. Talmage is very popular. and on appeal
there would hardly be chance of common fame's
testimony or the Presbytcry's finding thereon being
sustained Hence there is u strong PROBABILITY that
to-day the committee will advise that further in
