A collection of about one hun dred thousand dollars was raised at the ....vw ing, to enable I Association of last meeting as a thank-offerin i he Young Men's Chris! kn that city to Complete their new building in lime for the CeBtermial celebration. The ; expenses of .be revival services, amount- ing to nearly thirty thousand dollars, were j all met by voluntary contributions One mother moved to gratitude for the happy I conversion of a son through the labors of j the evangelists, gave a diamoud ring as a t hack offering. This riBg, turiched by the circumstances we relate, was instantly I purchased by a gentleman for oue thousand dollars. Hare as was the gem thus offered up by the e static mother upon the altar 'where i her son was redeemed, how precious j it be now because of its history ! Xo . lUUBt tuen are humbugs, no efforts are unworthy, J which produces such results as these. Mav the nraclical common seuse labors of these good men go on, aud, for the 6ake of Him in whoso service they strive, let us nil cease sneering and lend aid, however weak aud unworthy, to these noble trkers. j B The New York TWs thinks that Mr. Kerr's avowed hard money view, had much to do with his unmiuation .or Speaker and that the fact 'indicates that the largest sec lion of the majority in the uext House klands committed against the linaucial he resies adopted by their party in Ohio, Penn sylvania and elsewhere. The financial views of the Speaker Lave a direct bearing ujton the character of the legislation which will vi promoted by the Democrats this w inter. It may fairly he assumed that the leading committee will be so constituted by j piactj m Mr, Kerr that all projects for taking 'steps i y,,,. wn t-ackwaiQ' tn tuc legislation providing tor the icdcinptiou of the legal tender uotes be quietly oppressed in the committee room. This will uot only tend to give a new sense of security to business men, but K will be a isitive gain t'i the credit of the nation.' There seems to be a steady Seeline in the Oruer of Patrousof Husbaudry, out West. The rural members arc coming to the con clusion that anvbere and somehow they arc b..iug spouged to death. It has Jnst come to light, in Iowa, that one man and his wife hare been paid for pretended servi ces, by the State national Granges, since 1S73, nearly 9,000, and that at the same time he was drawing a regular salary in otter business. If the order will weed out the sidewalk farmers and bloodsuckers who iufest it, aud confine itself to its legitimate province, keeping out of the snares of politicians, it will deserve to thrive. But nwt else. Nearly five hundred bills, representing an aggregate of upwards of thirty million dollars, have been introduced iu the pres ent 2)emocraiic House of Representatives to teimburse ex-rebels for their losses dur ing the war. In view of this fact it is a pertinent inquiry whether the greatest stride towards retrenchment, and the pun tication of our politics as well, at this junc ture, would not be the adoption of a con stitutional amendment forever prohibiting the payment of another dollar ont of the Trery upon any war claim whatsoever. Carefcl inquiry has developed the fact that in England und in this country, there is a decrease in the deaths caused by drunk- ounces, both by individual restraint and an improvement of yeueial morality, owing to the deeper impressions of the moral obligations of temperance. There seems to be a more general understanding of the tttriious effect of stimulants upou the ner o'ts system, even when inebriety stops fchort oleafle.ire ud habitual drunkenness Hence it would Appear that the best way to overcome this evil is in this directiou. rather than in appeals to the St tioaal Government, Hofore the war every Democratic assem blage began its "series' of resolutions with a reference to the "past history of the Dem ocratic party" Hut it is not so any more. Any reference now-a-days to the "past his tory f the Democratic party" at once calls forth very severe censure from Democratic fympaihisers for receiving the "bloody h'i" aud for pouring cold water ou that 1'rieudly grasp which is taking place acro the bloody chasm.' t 'oL McClore is loosing hope for Demo cratic presidential success. Having been nccuned T going to Washington to set up a Drmcratic candidate, he frankly says, "if( the conduct of the majority in Congrss, so j ar, is to be accepted as the average capaci ty of the party for the exercise of power, we can't think of auy one against whom we are sufficiently spiteful to want him on tho Iemocrat:c ticket tor 1870."1 1 1 is slated that over 11,01 M tracts of bod embracing 2,rjO0,K)0 acres, remain unpat ented in Pennsylvania, upon which there is due to the Commonwealth three quarters !' million dollars.

The parties were assur ed by a minister that sufficient evidence of their guilt had been obtained and that the jail was surrounded by a mob of excited people, but both denied any complicity in the act, although the miuietci continued praying with them and asking for a con fessiou. The mob finally forced the keys from the iailr. took Williams out and ia under a tree in the Court House here, with a rope around his neck, standing ou a barrel, he made confession. He expressed the hope that the crowd might obtain (Jod's forgiveness for their crime, as he had for his, and declared that he was happily started ou his journey home to Htaveu. He died after fifteen minutes of terrible agony. Mrs. Meliug was then brought out and, after placing her in front of the dead murderer, the crowd called for her confession. She said Williams had been her parmour for three years ; that she had been trying for the past throe months to poison ber husband, without success ; thitt Williams struck Meling on the head with an axe while he was asleep, j and pnciScatory as Christ's sermon on the Wednesday night, aftewards cutting his ; mount, compared to those made last week threat.

The Legislature lias made considerable progress wiihiu the last ten days, quite a number of bills having passed second read ing, and a few third reading, among which number is the oui relating to the State Treasurer aud Commissioner of the Siuking Fund, or more commonly known as the "Tieasury Kill." A bill eimiliar lo the present one had passed two readings during the session of 167o, but like many more met its fate on the final passage, aud the absurdity iu not passing it caused an opening wide of eyes among trm members when they came to draw their saleries, and were informed' "no funds." The determination appears then to have seized the maj ority of the members that a like repetition should not occur, for short ly after the present session had commenced, a bill covering ail former blundering legis latioa on the subject was introduced, and .i. i! i r . i . i-ii yusicruay ou me nnai parage oi inc uui, j the vote was 145 yeas .o G nays, among which latter number is the name of With ington.

January 2 ), 1h4i. The debate ou Amnesty and the Centennial appropriation brought to light the true feelings of the Southern Democracy, and shows that Stale rights and strict construction of the Constitution, as taught by John C. Calhoun, is the main policy of the Democratic party. The six- I ty-one rebel brigadier generals in the House ty-one rebel br of Kepresentai O10ini,0rj f,f . utives control the Democratic onjucse, North nud West, and they are so weak-backed that they do their bidding as willingly as did their pre decessors before the war. Hon. Itaudolph Tucke ;er. of Virginia, in his speech against the Centen .-emenniai out, ttoiiuueu me m-j-uum.-, j . and two Pennsylvania Democrats, Messrs.

This argument reminds one of a story told by Mr. Townsend, of New York, iu debate last week. An Irishmau, baviug made some money, concluded to buy a horse. After the purchase a friend said to him "Pat, has your horse got the glanders ?M "The glanders," said Pat, "what's that ?" The friend replied, "nev er mind what it is, has he got the glan ders ?" Pat, studying a short time, re plied, "If the glanders will make the horse any better, be sure he has them, but if it makes him auy worse, he hasn:t got them at all, at all." So it is with these fellows, if it suits their purpose it is all eight, if not, rice vcrsn. With all their outward show of peace ,.1 IKaip npafanill ( imri t,t irftrwl Will " and their nrelendcd desire for "good will," I &c, intended to deceive our good people, and to prove their falsity, I send you an extract from a letter to a frieud iu Wash ington from a geullemaa who listened to ' the Centennial debate in the Virginia legis lature, which will give your readers a pret ty good idea of the love the leaders feel for Union : "P.ut JJen.

The main and almost the only argu ment made by Judge ('rump, who had the bill in charge, aud other Democrats who favored il, was the capitul to be made for Democratic party iu the coming Presiden tial campafgu.

Judge Crump said "the disgusting exhibition being made in the halls of Congress, aud the venomous speech of Rlainc has beeu for uo other put pose than to tire the Northern heart in order to foist upon the country for a third term the man of a wooden head, iron hand and marble heart, who has so loug trampled upon the liberties of the South." His peroration closed thus; "Rekt assured, the day will come when Constitutional principles, as our fathers understood them, will triumph and prevail throughout the laud." Judge Cecil, of Tazewell county, said in opposition to lit bill that we should have nothing to do with it, "because the Con federacy in uot free, and wc ate Grant's slaves." Extra Kill Smith, who was a prominent candidate lor the United States Senate before the legislature, boasted that lie "was an unreconstructed rebel," and further said, "auy oue who abuses and slauders Jeffersou Davis, abuses aud slan ders me, and every other man who followed the Confederate flag." This utterance was greeted with the wilJest applause by the galleries, and was with difficulty suppress ed by the Speaker.

In years past fellows like Hill could bully and bluster and frown down their oppo nents in the couucils of the Nation, but that day is past, and they have found it out, for the last few days, or in fact this session of ConrebS, has brought men to to the surface that will "not down at their bidding ;" nicu of bold hearts iu the Re publican ranks that, with great skill and minfimwilPlit :IV flllf.'il lllcm A'J the j wa B,10W thdr j,, and i exposed to the full gaze of the country the j real purposes of these bad men.

The ice meu were sick with hope deferred for there were no signs favorable for their annual ice-crop, and o.OOO men were wail iug for work to begin at the great icc-hoitscs up river. There- was little need of inva lids going to Florida. Hut tho north-west wind brought clear and bracing weather that makes life a luxury.

The motions of Plymouth Church may be called eratic, if uothing harsher, Its lat performance, after snubbing the idea of a mutual council, was lo summon Mr. Bow cu, editor of the hulfixmhrit, V a Church meeting to hear grivances agaiust him. His two sons were allowed with him, on sutlerancc, but the su-nographer he brought was promptly turned out. But the repor ter made good use of his time while he did stay, aud took down the debate word for word, and quietly took satisfaction in putting the report into next morning's papers, where it didn't read creditably lo the fairness or older of private Plymouth Church proceedings. After all, the charge against Mr. Koweu was that when a church demanded that he should tell nil that he knew about the Reecher matter, he refused lo say any thiug good or bad about it. The shrewd, long-witted Bowen knew what would exasperate the swivel tongued breth ern, and did it, by keeping his mouth shut He turned the tables ou the meeting last night by taking ground thatthe church summoned him to hear charges and receive advice, not to answer, aud tho Bowen mouth closed like adament agaia. The silent is the strongest in the quarrel. MOODY AND SAX KEY Barnum'a Hippodrome, where Jersey and Vermont girls rode Roman chariot races last winter, and Gihnore's Brass Band made everybody thirsty enough to drink oceaus of beer, last summer, is now converted into a tabernacle for Moody and Sankeyr great meetings iu February.

Besides the vast autorium for the regular meetings, there are four very large rooms for inquirers, rooms for preach ers' meetings, rooms for classes, and rooms for classes, and rooms lor every purpose. The money for all this has been furnished by wealthy religious people in the city, who are determined to make soma head against the depravity that rules the city, aud is running it. One liquor seller, who has one of the most popular bars in the city, subscribed, and actually paid 1,000 to ths fund for the Moody meeting!. When asked why he paid hi" money to a cause that was iu direst coutlict with his business he answered that he had real estate, the income from which was greater than the profits from his bar. That the demorali zation of the city, the vice aud crime that made New York an undesirable plaeo to live in, was hurting his laigest interests. "If theic howlers kin stop that kind of a thiug." said he, "they are doing me the best turn thsy kin !" Not a very Christian reason but an exceedingly prac tical one. But when you come to revival ists, there are two in the city who deserve toore encouragement than they are sretlini; f mVYEIl AXD MC'CALLEY Arc two brands suatched from the burning that is, oue' was a miserable drunkard md the other was a prize-fighter. They ere converted, aud both felt called up'u to do something for the people they had formerly knowu. So they take lofts or eel la-s, just as they can, down in Water and Viindam streets, and tbey hold set vices among the lowest and most wretched peo ple in the city. They are mobbed, and huitled, and despitefully used iu all sort of ways, but they stick to it with the zeal jf martyrs, and are actually accomplishing something. They have not together small ougregations in both those streets, aud davc actually induced a larjre number of men and women to tiy a better life. They work without pay, happy when the well incliued givo them enoujh to get kerosene to light up their rooms. Men willing to labor for humauity where they do, deserve better cucouragement than they have re ceived or are likely to. THE Bt feIXES OUT-I.OOK Is just as bad as ever. Last week there were forty-six failures, sonic of them very large. One jewelry house went up with li abilities to the amonnt of f-JOO.UOO, with over $700,000 worth of goods iu there store j that is goods that had cost them that amount. Ihis ?fiHJ,tH.Hj worth of goods cannot be sold to day for one-fourtli ihuir cost, for the reason that ouly very few are buying jewelry, and that few can buy the best in the world, of individuals, at half the prices they can of dealers. A diamoud never gets to be second-handed, aud the people who huv them arc all willing enough to realize ou them, in the hope of holding ou till the belter times come. If any of your readers want SJ.000 cashmere shawl or a 210,000 diamond, they will do well to strike in now. 1 would buy a duzen or two myself, but for reasons. 1 have no sympathy for those who fail ytheteaiful depreciation of goods, aud e terrible dullness of trade.
