MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1867. - n of God in a Dramatic ABB - ws notice that a movement u . for th purpose of attempting a series of meet ing9 for worship, in ce of the theatres 6f our city The first of the series came off last night, and was attended by a large audience of "Hons spectators. As it is not unlikely that this system will be a feature in the religious world during the winter, we feel It our c:uty to frankly, and with all charity, state our Tiews on the innovation. In doing so, we are compelled to stand in opposition to any such arrangement as that contem plated, and we regret this the more because of the piety and evident sincerity o these who have undertaken the plan. We well understand the motives of the originators, and we honor them for their object, but at the same time we differ with them most radi cally in regard to the result to be achieved. They argue to themselves that all lawful means should be taken to bring the irreli gious within the bou-4 of the go3pel; that there are many who will not frequent a church, but who will go to the theatre, and that by selecting the theatre, the Word of God can be preached to many who would not otherwise attend. This, we think, is the substance of the excuse given by church members who favor the new idea. But the question arises, Is not more harm than good done by this attempt to amalgamate the world and the Church ? Is it safe to mix opposing elements 1 or, rather, can oil and water be mixed at all 1 We think not. Instead of the gospel being preached to a new class, who' are struck with its truth and turned into the fold of the Church, we fear that the barriers which separate the professing Chris tian and the irreligious are weakened, and that Instead of fresh converts coming in, there is much more danger, in this throwing down ot the dividing line, of the old converts going ont. The church members who find their minister on a theatrical stage, their elders in proscenium boxes, and their choir sitting inBide the groves where "Romeo" sighed and "Eatherine" stormed, are much more likely to have their ideas of the separation between them and the world overturned, than are the worldlings who are present of having their ideas of religion associated with the scenes at the theatre. We appeal to common sense, is it not much more probable that the sight of the minister in the place of tbe actor, sur rounded with all the paraphernalia of the drama, should carry the thoughts to the theatre, rather than he would elevate their thoughts from it up to bis sacred office? Can the crowd who frequent the place during the week, and see it entirely dedicated to playing, disassociate their previous ideas, and, forgetting the plays seen the night before, listen with reverence to the word of Ood ? The truth is, that in the mind of all such is a curious mixture of what is and what has been. Shakespeare and St. Matthew run in paragraphs, Boucioault and Jeremiah respond to each other, and the sing, ing of the hymn cannot but recall the last time they heard music in that plaoe, and that was to the tune of "Then you'll remember me." Is such an association of ideas calcu lated to degrade the religion of the Almighty, or is it likely to elevate the soul of the listener and improve his moral perceptions? We leave it to any one, even the advooates of the policy of such meetings. Yet such an associ. ation of ideas is unavoidable to those who fre .quent the plaoe during the week, and it is for them that these meetings are held. So far as the regular churchgoers are concerned, they havo no right to be away from their own place of . worship, and gaping at the forbidden beauties of building which they dare not visit on secular days. We therefore cannot but be lieve that the sanctity of the Church is en dangered by its mingling of the carnal and the spiritual, and that the well-meaning minister who tries to bring his listeners within the influ ence of the Church, is really presenting re ligion to them in a light so wanting in that sanotity which is its greatest charm, that the audience are much more likely to look down ' upon rather than hasten to enter the member ship of the Christian Church. That such a meeting was out of plaoe was recognized by the divine who held forth last evening, and who attempted to reconcile the glaring incongruity of his oflioe and the sur joundings by "dedicating the temple to the worship of Almighty God." I3ut of what avail ia Jjuch a dedication, when for six even ings out of seven the "temple" is given up to the Muses and the Drama ? This is no dedica tion. It is an idle and ridiculous form, and one which is more calculated to throw oou tempt on the Church than if nothing had been said. We may have peculiar notions on the subjeot of religion, but we have always Wiaved that whatever savored of claptrap (we can use no more expressive word) lies in opposition to the true prinol- , pleB of the faith. We like not these sensa tions, whether they consist in preaching in theatres, or in burning candles and wearing white surplices. The quiet, dig nified, orthodox way of going to heaven is a way broad enough for all who desire to travel ia it without opening fairy paths or illuminated boulevards to entice those who prefer the by ways to come into the Btrait path. The attrac tions of the ordinary church are sufficient for all wLorealdeaire. There U no real occasion for sensational religion. Ail such attempts degrade the solemnity of the faith, and are calculated rather to disgust the sensible than to attraot the fooliHh. If the ftinner will not hear the gospel when It Is preaohed In a regu larly dedioated ohurou, if he needs some other excitement than that of earnest devotion, if he wants some other attraction than that of tbe gospel, and needs some spice of worldltness as a condiment to season religion, then he had better let Christianity alone, and not add hypocrisy to sin. "If they hear not Mo3es aud the prophets, neither will they be converted though one rose from the deal." The Demoralization of the Kevcnue Service. Therr is no branch of the publio servioe which should be more exclusively conducted with reference to the publio good than that of the revenue. There is no one in which it ia more important that a high morale should be main tained among its officers. There is no oue in the management of which partisan considera tions should have le33 influence. There is no one which is bo easily demoralized, and in which, when its high tone is once lost, such fearful corruption soon runs riot. These are general considerations applicable to our Government at all times, but more especially to the present, when the people are sustaining a heavy burdon of taxation, when a vast debt is to be managed, when the finances are in an unsettled and almost cha otic condition, and when throughout the coun try there are not wanting dangerous dema gogues, who would lead the people into the paths of dishonor and national disgrace. At such a time the management of the Revenue Department should be above suspicion, should command publio confidence by its evident de votion solely to the interests of the Govern ment, and by its vigilance and impartiality in the administration of the law. Is such the present condition of the Reve nue Department? Does it command publio confidence ? Is it devoted solely and prima rily to the interests of the revenue servioe ? To ask these questions is to answer them. In not one of these particulars are the ends of good government and a sound administration met. On the contrary, we witness universal suspicion, a general lack of confidence, the most open and alarming exhibition of fraud and corruption, the most enormous losses of the just revenues of the Government, and, in short, the most complete aud appalling demo ralization of the revenue service ever known in this country. If we ask the cause of all this, we have the answer in the pregnant fact that the Revenue Department is not managed primarily and solely with reference to the interests of the revenue, but is made to do service first as a political machine, and afterwards as the conservator of the interests of the Government. We be lieve Secretary McCulloch, on the whole, so far as his ability goes, to be a fair-minded and honorable man, who, if he were let alone to conduct the department over which he pre sides simply as an officer, would do well aud be successful. But such is not his position. A double duty is exacted from him first, to sup port the President's policy, and secondly to attend to the interests of the Government. The result is that the Revenue Department is at this moment being managed with reference to partisan considerations, and io effect parti san ends, rather than in the interest of an honest and successful collection of the reve nues. Revenue officers are appointed and removed, not with reference to their ability, their in tegrity, their fitness for the duties they are expected to perform, but for the influence they are expected to wield in the approaching elec tions. Honest, vigilant, and successful officers have no guarantee, in the faithful discharge of their duties, that they will not be sacrificed npon the altar of political necessities. Such officers, in their warfare upon the cormorants who are plundering the revenue, are not sus tained by the Government. It is a startling fact, but one capable of demonstration, that at the present moment appointments in the revenue service in this city are being dictated by the whisky thieves and fraudulent distillers who are daily robbing the Government of tens of thousands of dollars! They swarm around the Treasury Department like buzzards around a carcass, and reel into the presence of the chief officers of the Government to make their unblushing de mands. The result is what might be expected. The whole revenue service is becoming hope lessly, mortally demoralized. The whisky frauds are more eieantio and open than over before. Contraband spirits flood the market, and are daily sold at prices per gallon far below the Government tax. The fatal corruptions of this branch of the Bervice react upon other branches. The people are being familiarized with fraud, and the work of publio demorali zation and degradation goes on apace. This is not a pleasant state of things to con template, and we know of no remedy for it except such a rebuke on the part of the peo pie as shall recall the Administration to some sense of its duties to the publio. As at pre sent couduoted the Revenue Department is be coming a difgrace to the nation Are the Soldiers "Played Out ?" The popular political correspondent ("Brick yard") of the Sunday JJispatch, in his last letter. makes the following sensible remarks respecting tbe treatment ot the soldiers by the Republican, pftilyl "Much has been said and some complaints' made respecting the tact that the Republicans Ignored the soldiers lu selecting candidates tor city u nd county Glllcee, while the .Democrats put btverul upon their ticket. The subscriber admits that this fuel gives the Democrats some advantage locally, thouKh there Is as much lu consistency perhaps. In their action as la that of IheKeiiublieauM. Hut It Is but just to say that, while the Republicans way have erred in not putting a soluler or two on their city and county ticket thev did well in nominating four coloutU for the Legislature iu tha city districts, Viz.: Me.cku.er, Hoiik Clark and Davis, all of whom did good servioe In the war. Ta nuould be ui,u aj i u olEwt r the city and county doHnqnency. Taking all tlm nomination of bum partlec, la the city end county. Into view, we nee four soldiers on the Republican ticket, and bat j Itirce on tlm Democratic ticket: while In the Hlate the Kepublloena have elected Oeueral Geary ns Governor, General Hartranft aa An tlltnr (lent rai. and General Campbell aa Surveyor-General, and the Governor appointed General Jordan Hecrelary of Htate. List year, also, they elected General Owen Rnorder of leeta and lie appointed as hU assistants ColonelHGI veil and I! I lea. Captain Conner, a one Red soldier, they elected City Co-noils-xloner. and It may ho said lout M ilor Weaver watt elected City Commissioner by Repub lican votes. Colonel Gideon Clark, by appoint ment of a Republican Governor, Is Muster Welder, and by sucti nppolnttnent we navo Generrfl Hlckelsaaour Health OlHcer, General Hod 1 no ns our Flour Iimpontor; and by the urmoinlment of President Lincoln, we have Colonel Klmalror as Uulted Htates Mtrshul lor this district. This, we imilulalu, Is a pretty 11 be re) array of solillorsiu ollloe.aud all or them owe their elections or appoint meats to the Republicans. It the Repuollcan grumblers will look over ihe list tv cv may feel loss like com plaining. There are a great miny civilians la l'nlladelphla.aud It would be unftlraud uiireu unliable not to give l htm some ol t he orl1c.es. Many of the men employed In the olll -es of tlin eoldlets named are soldiers, and were appointed becauae of their services In the war. If a full list of the soldiers hoMlnp; ofllco in the city through the efforts of Republicans were pub lished, It would put to shame those who corn pin In because there are no soldiers on the Re publican city and county ticket." r The same writer hns the following also on the importance of the coming election: "Although there is no President Congress men, or Governor to elect this fall, the result of our election will be of great importance in lis ltitlueuce on the elections of next yuar. The lnlluence of the result in this Stale is always preot on the general result, and the result in the Htate muy be determined by tho vote of this city. The party that wins this year iu Pennsylvania will have a great advan tage in the contest next yeur, not only as to this Btste, but the entire country. The elect ors of next year will be of tho lightest political importance. They will determine who snail he the next President aud Vice-President, aud which parly shall control the next Con gress, and the vote ol Philadelphia next month may decide the Presidential couicsr. of 18HS, and do much to determine the (mure complexion (personal and political) of Congress. Next ye ir we shall have to vote in this city f-ir President aud Vice President, five members of Congress, two Senators arid eighteen Representatives in the tstate Legislature who will elect a United States Senator in place of Mr. Buokulew, whose term will expire March 4, 1869 a Mayor, Dis trict Attorney, City Solicitor, Prothonotary of Common Pleas, Receiver of Taxes, City Com missioner and City Controller; also, Auditor General and Surveyor-General of the State. It Is believed by many that voters will be less particular than usual this year in supporting the nominees of the parties to whlou they respectively belong, because tbe ofllces to be tilled arenotsucu. as umtallv uroune party spirit: but in view of the lnlluence this election will have upon tbe general result next year, there appinr to be ttie strongest, reasons wuy voters should strictly adhere to party this fall." GovEKNon Ohb has written a letter warmly commending the course of General Sickles, during his administration of affairs in South Carolina, and deprecating in the strongest terms his removal. This letter is the best reply to the aspersions of Mr. Johnson and his satellite Binckley. Thb official vote in Teune&se at the recent election, is published. It gives Brownlow 74,484 and Etheridge 22,550. Majority for Brownlow, 51,9:54. SPECIAL NOTICES.
