la the same la both rase. False-ooda and deceit are of two claase First, 'hose (Which relate to promise, or things whlrh one has creed to do or aot to do. Keeondly, those which relate to fart nr thing which bare already oe-tarred. Thla ladletmeet charget falsehood and de-aait agalost fr. Talraage almost entirely npon the froaad of words ased or alleged mlatatements as to facta.

I Bead not tell too that the soul or essence of faleehood and deceit, as an Immorality, constat In the Intention of the mind, and generally an Intention that looks to some wrong end. One maybe mistaken, bat If be apeak a be thinks he Is not a liar. Ills words may be Imprudent or careless or extravagant, and yet not falsa to bl mind. The Impressions of another are not necessarily the criterion trnthf nine. These Impression may not be correct.

Nothing can dearer than that, before you can And a verdict against a party accused of falsehood tnd as an Immorality, and especially an Immorality tbat demands the discipline and condemnation of the C'hureh, yon mnat trace home by eonelaaire evidence the offense to the mind and heart of that party. It 1 not sufficient to ahw that ha haa stated things contrary to fact. What must be shown is that ba has stated things ontrary to what he bellered to he a fact. The essential difficulty In proving the charge of conscious Bad willful falsehood and while not to be taken as a presumption against the accused party, la a very weighty reason why the clearest proof should demanded in order to conviction. All Supposition and all explanations In regard to words or acta that can be reasonably made should be accepted rather than the conclusion of actual guilt.

Foot, frail, erring human nature Is entitled to this Knerous treatment at Its own bands. We all need and should all accord It to other, r-nsplclona will not do. Presumptions will not do. (toil only eaa see tha heart. When we undertake to paas lato th consciousness of another, for the purpose of a condemnatory Judgment, our steps should be cautiously and carefully taken.

I bar already said that the charge against Ir. Talma- la that of 'falsehood and and I ow add. In view of the previous remarks, that this charge mnat be brourht home to bis heart as a conscious and Intended violation of the law of truth, or the whole accusation falls to the ground aa a mere inass of empty words. Tna Issue Is a detiuile and explicit one, and to this yon will, of course, confine yourselves. The urtinr Is not whether somebody also haa bee Injured bv his words or acta, or Itoth.

or thinks he has been thus Injured but whether bla words or acta, or both, as referred to In the indictment, embody the crime of 'falsehood and This is the whole question, and upon no Other have you the rlrht to pasa judgment. You are not to condemn Dr. Talmage for an Imprudence, ar a folly, or for the constitutional peculiarities that Osxl gave him: and especially you arenot. In order lo work np aa Immorality, to strain at a gnat and wallow a camel. I (more thsn suspect tbat such a rule of judgment would Orlng us all to the scaffold.

The charge la a serious one If false, aeruelinjnsllce. Jn form It stab Talmnge to the heart. It does siot Impute to him a nere error of judgment, a heresy In doctrine, oral imprudence in practice; Imt It brands him before men and angels as a sis man, a false minister, a false I'astor. It svrttes these terrible words oppositn to his ntme, and asks all mankind to read them. I do not know who first invented the language of thla formulated charge.

I do not mean who first invented the words 'falsehood and but I do the brain that firs, put these words into sesoM.tory relations with the name and character of lr. Talmage, aa a condensed expression of allegation aasumed to be made by common fame. That nan. be he friend or foe, was engaged In very grave liasineas, graver than perhaps he thought. If friend.

I must presume that he undertook the task with i great rrlurtanee, and only after repeated Interview with the party accused. I should not be surprises' to learn that tears rolled down his rheeka, and that even hi pen trembled In his lingers, home people would rather be kusTes I.iaa fools. I are not one of them. 1 presumo that I T. Talmage la not.

An attack upon one character, whether he be minister or layman, assails that which every one who respects himself holds at dear as bolus hi life. If tne allegation be falHe. the person tbas attacked is justly the object of universal ympatby. If It be. the work of an enemy, or ene-aaiea, who want a victim on which to aatiale their paasiona, then no rebuke can be too stern for the occasion.

Dr. Dr. Spear, "Is the Pastor of one ot tha largest churches under your care, fathered almost entirely by his own labors. He preaches to tha largest congregation In this city, and probably th largest In th country. His fame has gone to Dthar lands.

Unlike many preachers, he docs not lack for hearer. And whatever may be said by the Sommon fame of the outside world, or the common cam of thosa who bare abandoned his congregation and become bl enemies, you have the inot smple evidence that his own people those who know him best do not believe a word of this accusatory eomraon fame. They have, alike td his credit and theirs, gathered around Mm with' the warmest expression of their affection and confidence In this crisis of his personal history. Their faith in iilia has not been shaken at all by this so-called com Ron fame. Most of the facts alleged by it purport to have occurred under their eyeat and yet they bave en nothing in his conduct to forfeit their confidence or deserve the rebuke of this Presbytery.

Tbi fact I a strong presumption in his favor, and I raanot donbt tbat you will so regard it. You have tb fact before you, as one of the facts proved In this rase i and bane I am entitled to reason from it. I soagratalate Ir. Talmage that while common fame is th sec user. aI while ber words, as summarized in thlaebarga, have been interpreted to eon sin the accu- aattoB of falsehood and deceit, this common fame la BOS her either a a witness or a Judce.

Her lying lip, if lying, ar hare lip. This eonrt hss nothing to do with her aaylng and her opinion bare are of no conseuuenre. Mie ha succeeded in matting Dr. Talmag on trial. Thank God.

she can nett bar testify nor judge. The issue here lo one of facta, and tboa facts, and those only, set forth In th several counts of this indictment. If the charges as her mad fail for want of proof, then this roaring common fame will, in the judgment of thla court, tarn out to have been a liar. Whether It or Dr. Talmage is the liar in the matter at Issue, la th question which vou wtll settle for all the purpose of your own jurisdiction.

Thla wbola matter. Including the trial and the iudc- Bwnt, baa not been, and will not be, transacted In a corner. If It had been, it would not stay there. The tlacressnn, wisdom, prudence, motives, and reasons of th Presbytery, and ot every member of it. paciallv those.

If such there be, who have the good Dr 111 fortune to be extensively known, will pass ander the sharp review of tha Christian publi. and boa Id lu judgment adverse to Dr. Talmage, that Judgment mast rest on such clear, obvious, and lm- retire grounds as will eommand for It the general approval of candid and unbiased Christian men. or tha lrebvtry itself will tto naoat gravely called tn question, and will have seal! lu own harm rather tian anvthinr else. Tho Preabytary will not, I trust, misunderstand this remark.

I do not mean tbat it anon Id not honestly nd fearlessly exercise It own judgment, bnt I do xneea to suggest, as a point worthy of lu aonsidera- tloB, that whether the great Christian public will Teepeet and honor a condemnatory judgment or not, ahowld aueh a one be rendered, w.ll depend npon ita reasons, and not npon tb mere authority of tha Presbytery, it has bean a matter of so id a little Aeeltatlon with xa whether, before taking up tbi oae ib ita uesaus, i idqsis nui any personal om taenia npon r.

ripcar concluded I have perhapa studied this rase with as trmrh care a any member of the erinrt, and though I shall not vote, I shall nere exercise the rhrbt of ssytng that. In my Judgment, there is nothing in this whole accusation, that ean justify ypu in luniettng the least censure npon 1 T. I aimage. 1 as case at presented by the prosecution, even without the defense, was a failure, and If there had been no defense, you Would have been bound to acquit the accused. With the defense, there Is absolutely nptbing left of this ras, and hence Dr.

Talmage looks to you, and ha a Tight to look to yon, for a clear ahd complete acquittal, without reservstion or qualification. The genera) pub-lie, having watched the projgreat of this trial, has already, and tbat, too. with ai very suggesti ve unanimity, declared him the charges brought against him. The great bodv of the people wonder, in view of the evidence adduced, why the trial should have been had at all. Tbej accused hss bowed to' your aathority in citins him to appear before: you.

not because he tylicTcd that there waa anv Inst occasion for the process, bujt because it was: yonr province, ana not nis. to nettle that You will remember that there wat a restecuble minority of the Presbytery that did ifot believe In the necessity or wisdom of this trial. I was myself of, that number, and 1 am of the aafne opinion still.j The evidence adduced in this ease shows that there was really nothing la it. The so-called common? fame that made the charge made a'very grave mistake. It is, moreover, a fact which you cannot fail to have observed, thst this weakness of the esse itself is due to no lack of zeal or effort on the part if the prosecution.

I have learned to respect. The --j-esult it that Dr. Talmage has been itearrhed through and tnrougn. lie Las oo searched here, and, been searched there. All the points of attack havie been carefully looki-d up.

and every bearing against him that could be found has been found and placed before you. The inquiry Mr such facts hnk been pursued with a sleepless vipiiknee.

Assuming tho pursuit tp be based on the cense of duty, yon then have a jne illustration irf the mighty power of conscience over the huaiail soul. If Dr.

He will do for the pulpit or for any other position In life to which his capacities fit him. This trief ha of course been a very painful and vexatious process to Dr.

No friend. thiiSatng the accused to le lnnocetft, can be indifferent. Thejionition of a man thus situated asks for a kindly offering from even a stranger heart, and generally does not ask in vain. It )s but a few weeks since I was mrsflf a stranger tb r. Talmage.

I am clad to be confirmed in that opinion. -1 am quite suri that I was not mistaken.

The effect of lighting such a studio by nns of a huge proiectinir case of ribbed glass, which l.reaks up. softens and diffuses the di rect rays of i he sun, can be imagined by those who have measu; the illuminating power of the common bay window.

ALLIBONE ADDED TO THE STAPFSOXE OP THE RARE WORKS. Ir. Allibone, of Philadelphia, the eminent scholar and th author of th "Critical Dictionary of English I.iteratare, who ha been engaged aa one of the staff of librarians In th Lenox Library, entered upon tha duties of hia new position yesterday. There will be no change tn the administration of the Institution consequent npon the addition of Dr. Allibone to the staff.

Mr. George H. Moor will continue to fill the position of Superintendent of the library and Secretary of the Board of Trustees. The work of arranging and cataloguing the collection of Ur. Lenox is progressing favora bly, and will be continued as rapidly a possible In order tbat the Trustees may open toe library to the reading public as early as possible.

As much work In this direction remains to be done, it is impossible to fix definitely the time for th opening. The library ha been open to the public on Monday and rnuayor each weer, irom 11 A. im. to 4 P.M., tince Dec 1. 177.

To prevent Ithe entrance of improper persons, however, the Trustees require all visitors to be provided with tickets, which ar furnished free of charge, by the Superintendent, upon application to him by postal card, at No. l.OOl Fifth- avenue, tie ben malls the desired number of to the applicants. This library haa not, sat many suppose, been presented to the City or to the public at large by Mr. Lenox. It is a private institntion of his own arrangement, holds a charter granted by thi State, and is governed by a board of nine Trustee, of which Mr.

Lenox is President. The other Trustee are George h. Moore. Secretary Hamilton Fish. Daniel Huntington.

Robert Lenox Kennedy. Fred- crick Sturjes. A. T. Belknap, and John Fisher Sheaf e.

There is a vacancy in the board at present caused by the death of Robert Rae. The library con sists of between and volumes, collected by Mr. Lenox during the last half century. Jts collection of rare Biblei and parts of Bibles is one of the richest in the world. The writer of the catalogue of the great Caxton Exhibition in lxjndon in 177 declared that "In the rarest editions of the Bible, in all languages, this library Is unsurpassed." The collection includes a copy of the famous Maarln or Outenberg Bible, of i4au to 14 to, (Its exact date Is unknown.

which Was purchased in IS is for i500. and of which a copy was sold in London, in 1S73. for 3.000. Tha library 4s replete with volumes relating to the early history of America, containing many of tha best works on the eountry published in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the early part of the eighteenth century. The collection of Spanish manuscripts on America is extensive, and the collection of the voyages of De Bry is pronounced the finest In the world.

The Shakespeare collection It also a notable one. and embraces, not only all of the editions, but, apparently, all of the varieties of all the editions, since there are of the four original folios and the first reprint no fewer thnn 13 copies in tha eaaa devoted to that series. The Baroness Burdett- Coutts paid ATltl 2s. for a copy of the first folio. the highest price ever obtained for that work.

Mr. lenox also secured one of the two folios in existence of the date of lti'J2. The library building occupies a frontage of 200 feet on Fifth-avenue, and extends back I'J-jfeet, It was formally opened two years ago. The coat of tho land and buildings is estimated at and the last report of the Trustees to the Legislature shows that the present productive tuna neionging to the corporation amounts to $247,000. TUE 'LOSGSIIOHEMES'S STRIKE.

TIT'ISE TAID BT THE DAY STOP WORKING WHAT THE MEN SAY. The strike of the 'longshoremen was carried into effect yesterday morning, in accordance with the determination arrived at by the men, at the meeting held at Varick Hall on Wednesday evening. There was no disturbance at any point along the river front. The men congregated In gTcups on West-street, and discussed the situation among themselves, while the Police, under the command of Capt. Goorje V.

Oastlin. of the Steam boat Squad, patrolled the river front, and gathered npon the piers, prepared for any possible emergency. There was comparatively little work to be done on the piers, aud that was done, for the most part, by the sailors aud others on board the different steamers. At tiio (tuion Line pier. the carL-o of the yonnnj was being discharged by the crew, aided by a few Italians At the Inman pier, from which the Citv of Richmond is to sail to-morrow, the cargo was 'being put on board by the crew, and a few youths whom the stevedore had managed to pick np in the neighborhood.

At the Cunard pier, work was going on as usual. The company hire their own men, and pay them 12 per week. At the Freuch Line pier, th-3 wiucu arrirea eanesuay, was being unloaded by the ship crew. At 2 o'clock one hatch had been discharced, and the Superintendent he bad no doubt ot their ability to get the steamer ready to sail at her regular hour next Wednesday. At the White Star pier, the Adriatic sailed at 1 o'clock P.

M. yesterdav. The eompany hire their own men. and pay them $12. $1-1.

and 16 per K-iruraj to tne xina or work they do. The Anchor Line of steam ships have two piers, one No. ''() and the other No. 4i. At Pier No.

20 they are loading the Circassia, which goes out to-morrow and at No. If. the K.lysia. whieh also sails tomorrow. The comsny hire thoir own men, and pav them 12.

$14, and lts per week, and 30. 35, and 40 cents per hour for night work. They gave their men notice that after this week they would pay them the same prices per week, and cut down their pay for night work to correspond with their weekly wae. The result was that all the men quit with the exception of a few at Pier No. 20.

and the work was being done by the crews of the vessels at both piers. They expect, however, to get the steamers ready for sea in' time. At the Savannah Line pier the City of Macon, which sails to-morrow, was being leaded by the crew. At the Old Dominion Steam-ship Company's pier there was no trouble, and none was anticipated. This company lias paid but 20 cents per hour for three or four years past.

The men employed bv Morgan's Line, for New-Orleans, receive 25 cent's per hour. They have not struck. The longshoremen say, however, they have no intention of tnolestinz anybody, and that any one who desires to go to work will bo allewed to do so. HAT ID TRANSIT TO THE SUBURBS. WHAT NEW-JERSEY RESIDENTS WANT THE RAILROADS TO DO.

The sub-committee appointed to receive shr. gestions from citizens in the interest of cheap and rapid transit in New Jersey met yesterday afternoon at No. 17 Cortiandt-strcet. William O.

The loss, he said, I not yet felt, as many New-Yorker are now going into the country for the Summor, hut in the Fall large numbers would undoubtedly come to this City to live. The object of the committee was not only to retain the population that Jersey City and the surrounding towns had gained, but also to connect the railroar's that concentrate in Jersey City so that passenger and freight could be transterted from one line to another without the necessity of passing thromrh this City, and also to bring over the warehouses from the Brooi.yn stores to the railroad depots on the New-Jersey shore. Among the suggestions sent in was one by Mr. McDowell, in which be advises that the New-Jersey railroads, taking the Citv Hall in tMs City as a centre, shall pledge themselves that whatever charges are made from this point to another in this City distance not being measured by miles but by minutes they will aiwavs protect their patrons with the same ratio of charges; that the railroad companies be so connected that they can interchange freight, and by means of an annex train travsfer paseneers from one road to another: third, that on all freight received from or delivered to them at their Jersey City terminus, the railroads shall allow a drawback equal to what it costs them to transport it across the Hudson; fourth, that the railroad companies enter Into agreement with each other a to the rate thev are to charge for bringing aear-loai of freight from a warehouse at their terminus and delivering it to other railroads at the West End junction, (near tne lJerieu Tunnel.) and fifth, that there shall half rates in the morning and evening for carrying laborers. Mayor Hopper, of Jersey tv.

suggested that free passes be issued for a limited time to the first occupant cr a house built a'ong tbe line of any of the railroads. William Walter Phelps suggested that the ferry schedules should correspond with the railroad time-tables. Tne committee will it asam to-day to receive suggestions. LOSG 1SLAXT BAILROADS ABAXDOSED.
