Nfu ork. Dec. 1.,. Intense evcit nient has prevailed all dav at police headquarters in :his city and at the Brooklyn Morgue, wh-re lie the bodies of the two burglars shot at Bay Ridge. Eager crowds have surrouided both build ings in thf expectation of some new devel opment as regards the nissiug Charlie Ross. On the conc!u.-;o! of the examina tion of the bodies, this :-rtcnooii, by the Coroner's physician, th-- r-wd in tlie room were ordered to vacate Me placi on the entrance of three gentlemen, who quietly looked at the bod us and dun went to a room adjoining that in whi.-h the corpses were. These men were Chief lleins, of Philadelphia; Mr. Lewis, uncle i f Charlie Ross, and the man, a citizen of New York, who some months ago met Mr. Mosher iu the streets of Xew York wit'.i the missing child. lie had been ou the lookout for the boy, and so impressed was he with the great affliction that came on the family in the loss of their child, that liu was unable to rest without making a search for the boy. lie dreaded that a like affliction might come on himself. His wife was worried almost to death, thinking that such a crime could be committed and the perpe trators escape. One night, while passing along the street scrutinizing the face of each child he met, he came upon Mrs. Mosher aud the boy. He immediately re cognized the boy with her as the child Charlie Ross. He accosted the woman. She pretended to be a stranger. He offered accommodation for her aud her child iu a hotel without letting her know his suspi cions. While at the hotel he notified In spector Walling. That official visited the woman, but after examination allowed her to go. This man was positive that the child with her was the boy. The inspector at the time laughed at him, and was in credulous ol his story. Since then he as- j certaincd tbat the man was right, and lias used every means in his power to obtain a clue to the whereabouts of this woman. Of course the woman told her husband, and he, confiding in his "pa!," rehearsed to him the narrow escape he bad. This substantiates Douglass' story. Later in the afternoon two womer. came to the Morgue with a member of the Harbor Police. One was Douglass' sister, the other, it is supposed, Mosher's wife. They identified the bodies. The one supposed to be Mrs. Mosher said : It's a shame j they shot more thau once. No matter what they did, they should not have been killed like dogs !"' The two women came! from New York. Still later, the uncle of j the boy Charlie, accompanied by Charlie's i brother, Walter, visited the Morgue in ! company with Captain Irving and other i detectives of New York. The room was cleared, and the boy Walter viewed the i bodies. lie was unable tocxpressany posi- j tive opinion concerning the identity of the I men. Pointing to Douglass' body, he said : j "I think he is one. of them." Correspondence. fkoti vamiic;to. WA-IIINflTON. i. c. 11, 1S7L ; , HV.Ov, : Ir-Vi. According to promise made before leaving Sunbury, I resume my epis tles to your worthy paper, trusting tin y will he acceptable to your readers and the editor and proprietor of the Aian-win. Our Matt Ji'i-jlils friends of Washington and aeioss the Potomac River are getting bold, and since the election their utterances have the old ring, and are not at all com plimentary of anything that savors of the Union. It is proper that the dead should be decently interred, and their faults with them, but blazon them forth and justify acts that have brought desolation alnnst to the whole country, is, to say the least, in bad taste, and shows that boasted Southern chivalry has no honor. I am led to these remarks by the ceremonies had upon the removal of the UKliKL DEAD on Tuesday of last week. I give you the account of it as taken from a paper pub lished iu Washington. The real feeling of those who participated in the "late un pleasantness" is shown by the proceed ings : "On Monday and Tuesday, July 12th and 13th, 1801, an attack was made upon Fort Stephens, fin the north side of Wash ington, by a column of confederate troops of (ten. Early's corps, under the immediate command of den. Oordon, now Senator from Ceorgia. Quite a number of soldiers belonging to the Union army were killed iu the engagement and their remains were afterwards buried in Battle cemetery, which was laid out on the. 7th street road, near Fort Stevens, for that purpose. There were also a number of confederate soldiers killed, and their remains were in terred ou a farm near the fort where they tell. A few by Rev. J. B. Avtritt, pastor of (trace (P. E.) Church, situate about two miles above Silver Springs on 7th street road, resolved to gather up the remains and remove them to the above named church yard for interment, and steps were imme diately taken to carry the plan into eliect and progressed so satisfactorially as to be executeutVday. ( )n Tuesday last the bodies to the number of 17 were exhumed and placed in six plain coffins and borne to the church yard, where they were this morning placed on a bier in front of the church, and covered with a black pall, on which was stitched a neat cross of white muslin. Iu the enclosure, between the front of the church and the street, a grave large enough for the six coffins had been dug for the final resting-place of the remains, and a large evergreen cross was placed at the head of it. At nine o'clock quite a large number of Washingtoniaus assembled at the corner of 0th street and Pennsylvania avenue, aud, taking carriages, proceeded to the church, about K miles from the city, to wit ness the ceremony. A large number from Rockvillc and the country round about were also present to the number of about .'500 persons, including many ladies. At eleven o'clock Bishop Pinckney and Revs. A vet ill. Williamsou and Buck entered tho church, reciting the service commencing. "Lord, let me know the end of my days," &c. After portions fif the Scriptures hail been read the choir sang, "I would not. live always, I ask not to stay," which was followed by prayer, and another hymn, after which the audience proceeded to the grave iu front of the church to inter the re mains, the following gentlemen acting as pall-bearers: Cen. Cook, Henry (Jaruett, Dr. Young, Dr. Boyle, Wm. Harmon, (j. T. Howard, C.en. P. M. B. Young, J. W. Drew, Col. L. II Lamar, Col. Herbert, Wm. Stone, Col. R. Fleming. The coffins were lowered into the giaves, wreaths being placed upon each one, the one containing the remains of Bland being placed at the north end to enable the friends to find it if they ever desired to re move the body. Rev. Mr. Everitt read the burial service, when the assemblage repaired to the rectory ,a few yards distant, where Dr. A. P. fiarnett, of this city, de livered THE OKATION. He congratulated those present that the time had come when they could do justice to the rnemorie of tb"ir friends, and per form such ceremonies unmolested, and claimed that they should not perform the act coldly and with subdued spirits, lie alluded to the mi'f of thf car, aid justified the smith for tin ir .('(', i.

After the oration, Bishop Pinckney read a short poem full of teuder allusions to the dead, which was well received. A vote of thank? was tendered to Dr. Carnctt and Bishop Pinckney, and a copy of the address and poem asked for publication in book form." Two of the pall-bearers, Gen. P. M. B. Y'oung and Col. L. (. Lamar, have done the Southern States "some service" in the "tented field," and now represent the "un terrifkd" in this, as they will in the 44th Congress. Such utterances as "our peo ple, "and of Jeff. Davis as "our president," are pleasant sounds for those of the butter nut persuasion, but to the loyal they bring bitter recollections, and a climpse of what will be if these people get the same control in politics they had previous to 1801. But, I forget. To be "truly loil" is a thing of the past, if one judges from the tone of cer tain papers now published. KEKXANDO WOOD'S KECEI'TIOX. Hon. Fernaudiwud gave a receptiou on last Tuesday evening, which was attended by the brilliant lights of the Democracy. The cards to the receptiou were printed on fine tinted paper, and read as follows: ''Justice is s.'inv but sure." "Mr. Fernando Wood respectfully asks your company to meet the Democratic and Conservative members of the Senate and House of Representatives socially on Thursday evening, 10th instant, at 8 o'clock, in congratulations of the recent elections." "S25 Fifteenth street, Washington, D. C." In Mr. Wood's case justice is slow ; but should it be suv, his district would be re presented by another man. This reception was but a part of the programme to make him speaker of the 44th Cougress. It is admitted that he is the coming man, and the Sundoy (hc.ttte, speaking of his chances says ; "The elegant drawing room wa3 crowded with the representatives of the 'horny handed Democracy,' and from what we could judge from members, his strength as a candidate for the Speakership of the 44Mi Congress is most formidable indeed." The election of Mr. Wood to that posi tion would be almost a death-blow to the interests of Pennsylvania, and every man ufacturing State in the Union. The ap pointment of Committees belongs to the Speaker, and, as a free trade man, Mr. Wood would certainly appoint an out and out free trade Committee on Ways and Means. The Committee on Banking ami Currency would be composed of hard money men, eager for IVnton mintdrops and bullion. Pennsylvania has had a taste of the "good times" under similar circumstances, when the "horny handed" were iu power, and, from the making up of the 14th Congress, appearances indicate a more gloomy pros pect than that caused by the panic and the failure of Jay Cooke. DKMOC'K ATS IX THE HOUSE. As yet the Democrats have done but little crowing in the House, and that alone by little Sunset Cox. The Hon. Samuel is a good fellow personally and well liked by the Republicans, therefore his darts fall harmless. Our member, HON'. JOHN" B. I'At'KKK, who was re-elected by a handsome majori ty, while so many Republicans were swept aside by the political whirlwind, is con gratulated on all sides for his spleddid victo ry, and they agree that his is the banner district of Pennsylvania. Success makes no difference with him. lie is here the same unassuming man and hard worker that he is at home, and has a kind word for all with whom he comes in contact, and a welcome to any of his constituents who may visit the Capitol. Mr. Packer feels very grateful to the people of his district for their continued confidence, and is proud of his noble, generous, and bard working constituency. IOL. .1.

SINGING IN THE CIII KCHES. In our boyhood days when we went to singing shool, partly to learn psalmody, principally to gaze on the pretty face of Mary Jane and go home with her after the exercises were over, we were content to fur nish vocalism to the churches for nothing and eve-u esteem it an honor and privilege to be invited to make me of the choir. In New York sacred music is fpuite an other thing. Singing in choirs is as much of a profession as singing in operas in fact, the singers who delight the public in opera, week day nights, furnish the sacred music for the churches Sundays, and a very pretty sum it costs a church to get such music as it wants. The organist, for instance, in a reasonably plain church gets 31,000 per an uuui, the leader or manager gets as much more, the soprano gets from S-100 $700, the alto as much, and the tenor and bosso about the same, or generally a little less. This makes the quartette. Then comes a chorus at perhaps twenty, voices who are paid from S100 to S-'OO each, according to position, quality ai d capacity. These singers are almost without excep tion professionals, who sing praises to the Almighty without feeling, caring or know ing what they sing their business beiug purely mercenary. This scale of prices ap plies only to the moderately opulent churches the great oues double or treble these figures. In Trinity for instance the music is quite as excellent in character as that of the operatic stage, and it attracts thoosartdfi of reonl who go for that- a!orr In many of the churches choirs of boys arc employed. It is all well. I see no rea son why the Evil One should monopolize all the goods things of life. Why should not sacred music be rendered artistically, and why should not the best musical talent be employed in the service of the temple V It attracts people to peaces of worship, and impresses them w lien they get there. At least so say the clergymen, and who should kuow if they don't ? Beecher's church has a supt rb organist, Zundcl, and a choir who simply lead the multitude, and Talmadge docs without a choir. Th" or gan and a cornet-player lead the people. When 5.000 people in the immense audience-room raise their voices tog tlier, the effect is indescribably grand. A,1 ' speak ing of Ml'SIC, the theatres of the city have ft. some months been giving what in the tills are called "Sacred Concerts," Sunday nights. The value of the "Sacred Concerts" may be inferred from the following programme : 30th sacred concert bowery thea tre. The concert this evening will commence with the romantic drama entitled The French Spy, with Mis9 Louise Sylvester as the Arab boy. To be followed by the drama, in three acts, entitled Jonathan Bradford, or the Murder in the Roadside Inn. To conclude with Jack Sheppard. In all the minor theatres dramatic per formances, the same as on the week day nights, have been given Sunday nights, un der the name ef sacred concerts, and the opera troupes have been quite as unblush ing in the evasion of the law. Finally the managers of the better class of theatres entered their protest against it iu conjunction with leading citizens, aud a raid on the places was inaugurated. Last Sunday night a number of them were dosed, but the majority of them went through with their performances. THE SUNDAY QUESTION is a very difficult one to manage here. There is an euormous German and French population, who will not yield one iota of of their notions on this subject. They re gard Sunday as a day not only of rest, but recreation, and crowd into it all the amuse ment of the week. They want their gar dens in the summer, and halls in the even ing their theatres and concerts. They can not understand why, in a "free" country they should be debarred from doing as they please on any day in the week, so that they do not interfere with others. They want to observe the day in this country as they observed it in the land they come from, and they make a vigorous fight for it. It goes into politics and has its effect upon all the elections. The German of New Y'ork knows of no question of public policy that is so important to him, and his vote is influ enced more by this question than by auy other. He does not believe in religious ob servances on Sunday, he has no s.-mpathy with the Puritan idea in short, ;ie is in antagonism with it all. And to him it is a vital matter, and he fights it in every pos sible way. It counts on election days, and from this time out it will count more. BUILDING AND KEAL ESTATE. The real estate people are disturbed. Under the stimulus of the war and war in flation, real estate went up fearfully. Building lots in the vicinity of the Park were a few years ago counted fairly cheap at 20,000, and $25,000 was not an unusual price. They are not so high now, indeed they couldn't be sold to-day for the half what was paid for them. They lay dead property. There is no use in building on them, for there arc a thousand or more empty houses above 42d street and three times that number below, not goiug lower down than 14th. I mentioned last week the fact that then; are thousands of empty stores aud offices. This condition of things is easily accounted for. New York has built houses and stores without providing the business to fill them. She has permitt ed Baltimore to take on part of her trade, and Boston another part. She has allowed the dangerous classes to take possession of the government of the city, and has done everything possible to check her growth I and limit her prosperity. The Legislature, instead of selling or filling up the lateral canals, which never did any business and makes heavy draft on the Erie, foolishly keeps them up and drive away the trade which otherwise would find the city by that channel, and her merchants sit down on "natural advantages" aud allow cartmen, middlemen aud leeches generally, to suck the substance out of the grain trade. Iu the meantime, Baltimore and Boston are building elevators and reaching their long railroad arms out over the country: and Canada is arranging to improve her river aud canal system so as to get better connection with the great Y est and clip the metrop olis still more. New York is the great commercial cen ter of the contineut, and always ought to lie ; but there has got to be a change of tactics or she will lose her place, sure. AMUSEMENTS AND LUXURIES. As dull as are the times and as hard as niouey is to get, it is a singular thing that the places of amusement are better patrou ized than ever. The opera, with seats at S I, is crowded ; the theatres are full night ly, aud the drinking houses and the more fashionable restaurauts, where a dinner costs ?i to $6, have lost none of their pa tronage. And the retail store are doiug exceedingly well. There has never been a time when the fashionable retailers sold more costly goods thau they have this season. The jewelers are selling enormous quantities of expen sive goods, and the importer of silks and laces and that class, uever sold more. And the question is, who buys them? New Yorkers, as a rule, are economizing, but nevertheless the goods go. One standing an hour at the bars of any of the great hotels, and seeing the amount of braudy consumed at 4'. cents a drink, wouldn't suppose the country was suffering from stagnation in business, and that there was universal distress in the city. Nor would they suppose that ft0,000 men were out of work ou the island, and that their wives and children were actually suffering for bread. The two extreme come very close to each other. LABOR continues unsettled aud unsatifactory. The employers are discharging vast numbers of men and reducing not only the time but the wages of those they retain. The poor fellows, driven to madness, strike the fac tories close, and then comes hunger, cold and desperation. This will be the worst winter New York has ever seen. Labor ing men who have something to do out of New York are very lucky. TTLTON-BF.ECUER. Public iuterest in the great scaudal is be ing revived, the matter having come up in the courts. Moulton has settled the libel suit of Edna Dean Proctor by paying the. costs already incurred and counsel fees,, amounting in all to about J5,000. The public tnV' tbi nation of hiF ss a confes sion that her case was good, hut it will he remembered that he never asserted that Beeeher had had criminal intercourse with her only that Beeeher told him so. This he still asserts. He settles because by giv ing this publicity his counsel advice him that he has had himself liable to Miss Proc tor. There will he a happy time getting a jury in the main case. Where can twelve men be found in Brooklyn who have not formed an opinion in this case ? It will take months to empannel a jury, if one can be empanneled at all. I predict that the trial will be a farce, and that the public will be left at its conclusion no nearer the truth than it is now. BUSINESS Is still abominably dull, though there is something doing all the time. The whole sale people are laying back quietly and waiting, and the manufacturers float along by discharging half the workmen aud re ducing the time of those they keep. Oh for the good old times when things went with a jump. Pietro. 8cfc bbcrtiscmfnts. SHERIFF'S SALES. BY Virtue of certain Writs of Fieri Facias, nlias Fieri Faci:is,aml Vendition.
