NEW YORK AMUSEMENTS. "TRIFLING WITH TREASON." Thn hnlldlni? known as the "Arena." situated In Rsy document Now it is invoked as an authority and protection for the Radical stump orators who are travelling through the South sowing the seeds of disse'ntion between the two races. The Constitution was framed for the benefit of all, and no party can find safety outside of it. We hope these newly en The Spiritualists. The spiritualists in this vicinity are having a revival in a quiet way: holding regular meetings every Sunday.

The manifestation business appears to be toned down, and the belief is taking a more rational form. A lady named Mrs. Wilcoxson, is holding forth weekly in a room in Cumberland street, who preaches, as she says, under spiritual influ THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE. Speculation as to Wnere it is to be, And How it Is to bo BiMt. The World, after summarising a number of articles which have appeared in the Eaovb on the subject of the improved bridge across the East river, odds the following speculations of Its own: LOCATION AND HEIGHT OF THE BRIDGE.

The exact location of the bridge has not yet been determined. Upon this rests qaesOonflf lenttor the span of the suspension portion. The point win unquestionably be selected, whict i ml shortest distance across the river. Thatpomt, occora tag to the surveys which have already been ado, wil secure the location ofthe bridge, starting at the junc tionof Main and Fulton streets, ning to a direct line to the river to Pjt about 800 feet north of the present landing of the Fulton Ferry on the Brooklyn side or near what is tam as Mars ton Powers' coal yard. In front of that point Is understood now will be the location of the tower on that irle ofthe river.

The shortest distance from this point tc the New ork shore will bring it to point fu the vicinity of Pier No. 35 East Biver. It is alto etberprobable that the western tower will be constructed somewhere between Piers iNos. 80 and ob. The charter of the company provides that the centre of the bridge shall be 130 feet aliove the water in the river.

This will make the points where it strikes the shore bo much above the ground that it will be necessary to build a bridge from a half to three quarters of a mile to gain that rise. There are. therefore, but two points where the ground is BurHcIently raised on the New York side to make the torminuB practicable: one is Chatham square, and the other Printing House Square. The bill provides that the terminus shall not be south ofthe junction of Nassau and Chatham streets. The point most likely to be selected as the terminus is at the junction of Nassau, Frankfort and Chatham streets, or in front of the old Tammany Hall building.

It ia estimated that the bridge can be built across from this point with a Bpan of 1,350 feet from centre to centre of the towers, over which the cables are to be suspended. This is a longer span than any other bridge in the world, and will therefore be a greater achievement, as well as furnish an additional test of the strength of works of this kind. The length of the suspension bridge at Niagara Falla is 821 feet from center to center of towers that of the bridge recently completed across the Ohio river at Cincinnati, is 1,057 feet from center to center of tower. The span of the New York and Brooklyn bridge will therefore be at least 293 feet longer than that at Cincinnati. If it becomes necessary to select any other location of the bridge except that designated above, the length of the span will be increased.

There is a point beyond which it will not be safe to extend the length of the space between the towers. This point is variously estimated at from 2,000 to 2 500 feet. This brings this bridge a long distance inside of that limit, and if the above calculation is correct, there can be no question of the feasibility of this project, or, at least, it leaves the only question of doubt in connection with the structure to be that of the towers and Iheir foundations. There can be no doubt even on this point in regard to the tower on the Brooklyn Bide but it is not known as yet how far down it will be necessary to dig to find a solid foundation for the tower on the New York side. This ia variously estimated from thirty to seventy feet, but nothing definite is known.

SHALL WE HATE A ONE OR TWO STORY BRIDGE. No definite plan has been agreed upon as to the mode of constructing the bridge, aside from its suspension feature. The width, the number of stories and the number of cables are all as yet in doubt. One of the first duties of the engineer selected will be to arraDge the plana and make out full estimates of costs and details until that is done no correct idea of the Now York Theatre, and aft a season we expect the theatre Will deservn thn nniJk It hnn thn nnm. nf tha city in which It Btanda.

In regard to tho youthful managers, we hear that young New York Is terribly smitton with them. Miss Sophie received a diamond brooch a few nights since, valued at 3,000 also a bouquet. wallack's THEATME. The excessively immoral drama of "The Flying Scud," continues to attract crowds of old and young Mr. Wallack has added to the already large list of this year's successes, 3ud will close the season a heavy winner.

The "Jockey Hornpipe" and the "Derby Race," are encored every night, and the popularity of the piece is one of the certainties of the New York dramatics. The "Scud" will continue its race every evening this week. TONY PASTOR'S. Tony is on hand again with "an entirely new comic drama" this time it ia called the "Fomalc Blue Jackets," and ia said to be gay and fcalSvc In the extreme. Other novelties male and female are provided with a liberal hand, and the programme fairly glistena with brilliant promise.

PERSONAL AND SUNDRIES. Norwood. We understand that Mr. Augu3tln Daly, of the Express, and Mr. Joseph Howard, of the Times, have arranged to dramatize Mr.

Beecher's novel. "Norwood." The play of Uncle Tom's Cabin waa one of the most successful that was ever put upon the Btage, and "Norwood," depending to a great extent upon the life like tableaux that are scattered through it, will undoubtedly present as available a text for the dramatist, as its predecessor. Beecher on Southern Belief and Christian Toleration. In his sermon yesterday at Plymouth Church, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher made the following remarks Last Sunday I told yon I wished you to take up a collection to day for the Ladies' Aid Branch of the Southern Relief Society.

This department of the work, though it has the same general bent as tho main association in New York, still, in its detail, follows a line of operation which well appeals to our sympathy and attention. While it is true, that all tho South is suffering for want of the commonest necessities to life, it may. perhaps, be also the case that those instances in which relief is most frequently administered are such as belong among the poorest and lowest, perhaps, irrespectivu of color. But there are thousands of persona that have been brought up in affluence, nBed always' to give, who now as a result of the mlsjudgment which drove the South to war, to use no harsher term, arc actually suffering, dying, starving. Of the acutest sensibility, of the highest culture, of the most unbounded hospitality in times past, their case now is even more pitiable than the adversity of those used to vigorous life, disciplined to Buffering, and to whom coarse fare is congenial.

Many of them are too proud to declare their need, and there Is a sort of heroism and nobility in their reticence. The bravest soldier often suffers, yea dies under, and yet conceals with his mantel the very existence of any wound. Now it is to relieve those that I call upon you this morning. They cannot all be reached. SOME MUST DD3 BUT MANY CAN BE SAVED.

They are the brains of the South. They possess the affection and control of its citizens. Any aid we give them in such a way aa not to wound their sensibility, or to let them feel that we feel we are bulping them, will be twice blessed it will cement their hearts to ours; it will assure them an understanding of our spirit and motives. My sister, Mrs. Stowe, has just returned from a two months' journey in Florida and Georgia.

I have heard from her Hds tales of underline among the educated and cultivated that would melt your hearts could 1 relate them as she told them to me. Now. brethren, if yon eay that these were the leaderd and chiefs of rebellion, und are suffering the result of their sins, I say unto von that the spirit is ar.tl Christ ian and diabolical. The relief of tho hungry has nothing to do with politics, and the best reconstruction we can offer is that by which the intelligent leading men of the South can be put on their feet again. THE RIGHT IDEAS ARE WORKING.

Thanks to wise statesmanship, and the sweet influence of assistance which is duty, not charity, to those that are, from their very suffering, ten fold the more our brothers, all is working right, and it is binding on every heart North and South to labor henceforth for those things that work for peace. So soon as this crisis of want is overpast, I expect, I confidently expect some Southern man, bolder and wiser than the rest, to arise and say with emphasis "Thank God for the army of the North that plowed and harrowed us deep, but just deep enough for the seeds of liberty to spring up, and the sources of their prosperity to flow as a river to our soul." I have always insisted that I waa a better friend to the South than the South waa ofthe South' self. For he is true friend that supports tho truth, and the time la not distant when the South will, by freedom or person, of thought, of political economy and industry, bloom and blossom as the garden ofthe Lord, and will thank him that through aflnclions he led them to genuine civilizalion equality and permanent prosperity. Rrethren we will now pass the baskets, and I want such a collection from Plymouth Church aa we will not be ashamed to see reported in the Southern papers. But that rests with you.

THE PARADE OF THE SPNDAY SCIIOCLS. Mr. Beecher tool: ground yesterday against the exclusion of the Unitarian ami Umvursalist Sunday school childnm from the parade. He denounced it as the most ridiculous bigotry, and spoke of parents thanking God that their children didn't imbibe any Univerealism, Unitariauisin, or unorthodoxy. beciuse, forsooth, they didn't touch the clothes, in parade, of other children, whose parents believed those doctrines.

He once received a note from a little girl, eleven years old "Dear Are yon a Universal'st? If so, I am very sorry, aud will never write you another note again Now that child was patterning after some intolerant orthodox parent. It was outrageous to exclude children thus. Christ made and would sanction no such discrimination. There was not a blossom, there was not a star that did not cry "shame!" And He who made the blossoms and the stars declared it was a shame, too. True, the Universaiists ami Unitarians would not now consent to parade, but their refusal was but the result of orthodox intolerance that debarred them in the first place.

Temperance In South Brooklyn. A very interesting meeting was lieltl last evening at Father Mathew Institute No. 1, Hamilton avenue. Mr. A.

A. Robbins, President of Lafayette Avenue Temperance Society, Capt. Chartres and Dr. Bennct were present, and niado interesting addresses which secured earnest attention and applause from the large body of men and women present. Father Mathew Society No.

1. ia a hard working body of men, who have done an immense amount of good for their countrymen in South Brooklyn aud the Temperance cause generally, for the last six or seven years. They have a line building called the Institute, which, with great difficulty, they have carried for or four years, bnt there is a dent of ten thousand do 1 lars upon it, which is a great burden to them. are making considerable efforts for the reduction o'f this debt. They are to have to night and to morrow night performances of the moral drama for this purpose, aud committees have been appointed to take other measures perhaps appealing to our wealtiiy churches and citizens to nelp these worthy uicu out of their embarrassment.

SPORTS AND PASTIMES. Base Kali. TnE Union. Club of Morrisania played Iheir first match of the season on Saturday, 011 their grounds, with (he Atlanta Club, of Trernont. Of course, the game resulted in a victory for the Union Club, as was anticipated but one thing is very certain had the Atlantas fielded as they should have done, the Unions would have retired with fewer than thev did, as the batting was anything but safe, and, in tact, the batting of the Atlantas was superior to the Unions.

More practice is what is needed by the Unions. It was rumored, through the day, that the Athletics were to play the Unions. The report seems to have originated in Philadelphia, as news was received from that place ill iiuH zurK to urni cue el. UNION. o.

Tills paper has ttoe largest Circulation of any Evening paper published In the United States.

Its value as an Aclvertlsln Medium Is therefore apparent. False Doctrine Repudiated. Some days ago the New York World, in an elaborate article, contended lor tne non inter ference of the Supreme oourt in tne causes which ivere brought before it with the intention of testing the constitutionality of the act of Congress under which the attempt is now being made to reconstruct the governments ot the ten States still excluded from the Union. The World felicitated itself upon the assumed fact that, to secure a temporary advantage, theBadical party vraa compelled to endorse a doctrine for 'which the Democracy have always contended. The Democratic party, says the World, will soon control both the Legislative and Executive branches of the Government, while it is more than probably that, from the advanced age of the Conservative judges now on the bench of the Supreme Court, a majority of that body will be made up of Republicans, before the now dominant party loses hold of the government.

If then, says the World, the Supreme Court relinquishes the right to decide upon the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress, the Democrats will have nothing to fear from that quarter when they secure possession of the Administration. In other words, a Democratic Administration may enact laws of which Massachusetts might have occasion to complain but when Massachusetts proposes to test the constitutionlity of the acts complained of, her representa tives are met at the bar of the Supreme Court with the precedent established in the recent injunction cases, and told they have no edy, but that they must bow to the wi existing party majority. In the casi sissippi we contended against an struetion of the theory of this and we are prepared to do the, Massachusetts, either with the Democratic party. The World adduces lished by a representative party in favor of the, eminent for whicjj 'emocratic of thegov ds. Andrew Jackson, decision ed the ifiance of the of tfflerj Court, remov deposits from the Well, in defiance United of the BKtfie Court a political party decl KW Jhad the right to determine the If Wgroes in the territories of the if and gave the feouth the only justification it ever had for ap force against the government.

a government of law, and a temporary auvaniuge may at be secured by disregarding the law, the nrecedent never fails to recoil on those who establish it. In the one case the Democratic party chuckled over their success; in the other the Republicans felicitated themselves on their boldness. In both cases the law was set at defiance. We believe that under this Government there is a peaceful remedy for every wrong complained of, at the hands of the General Government. It is assured to us by the Constitution, devised for this very purpose.

Ten States and eight millions of people complain that Congress has imposed disabilities upon them in defiance of the Constitution. They are told there is no way of determining this question. If so, what is the purpose of our boasted written Constitution There must be some final arbitrator between majorities and minorities. There is not, if the Supreme Court surrenders its power. There was almost from the beginning of the government two opinions as to how the limitation placed on it should be determined.

A minority of the Southern people contended that each State was the final judge of its rights and of the mode and manner of redressing any wrongs it complained of. Here we had as many judges as there were States. Against this theory the North adduced that other, which both parties seem now willing to repudiate, that the Supreme Court was the final arbitrator, and that to that body was entrusted the power of compelling the other branches of the Government to confine themselves within the fundamental law devised for the protection of all. We are glad to see that not a single Democratic paper in the State sustains the doctrine advanced by the World. Nor is the great name of Jackson sufficient to recommend it.

This is a government of law or it is not a government at all, and when the judicial department of the government shall be deprived of its just authority with the consent of both parties, to us there will not be any choice between them. J. I. and EI. G.

H. is out in defence of his course in becoming personally responsible that Jeff Davis will appear for trial when called upon. He characterizes Davis' prolonged imprisonment as theoraticaliy lawless and practically mischievous," and declares that nine tenths of those who complain of Davis' release are at heartglad of it. We have not ourselves a particle of doubt but that very considerable capital" will be made out of the Davis' case next fall, when the magnanimity of the Government, in this instance, will be offered as an offset to the rascally Copperhead" argument that we have dealt harshly by the South. Mr.

Greeley says that Chief Justice Chase was ready to try Davis, but he shrunk from doing so, because Judge Underwood had given it as his opinion that it would be necessary to "pack" a jury in Virginia to convict him. Mr. Greeley says he offered himself as one of the bondsmen, because Davis' counsel deemed it to be desirable "that they should present some "Northern names of men who had been conspicuous opponents of the rebellion, "perhaps because the application to "to admit to bail would be otherwise strongly "resisted." Mr. Greeley quotes from the press of Virginia to show what has resulted from Davis' release. It is evident that a better feeling is engendered by it.

The Southern people feel that a friendly hand has been held out to them, and we shall be prepared to hear that Greeley's party friends will urge upon tirm a Southern tour in their interest, so that they may reap the full advantage of the ac they now find it politic to condemn. One of our ministers yesterday took advantage of the latest sensation to edify his hearers. We publish a sketch of his discourse elsewhere. For the present, at least, Greeley had better keep out of the way of the women and the parsons, who seem to desire to do all the fighting the soldiers left undone. Some days ago the telegraph gave the details of a diabolical outrage which was perpetrated at Paris, Tenn.

It appears that a party of negroes, male and femile, met together to have a social time, with music and dancing. Between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock ten or fifteen white ruffians intruded themselves into the assemblage. For a time they conducted themselves in a peaceful and orderly manner, hut after a time they commenced beating and insulting the men of the parry, displaying pistols to intimidate them. Finally the men were driven from the huilding, when the ruffians fastened doors and windows, extinguished the lights, and proceeded to outrage the persons of the helpless females. Like every other isolated case of wrong doing which occurs at the South, the facts above recorded were placed to the debit Bide of the Southern people at large, and the spirit which actuated the guilty was of course characterized as that which inspired the rebellion.

The perpetrators of the above outrage have since heen arrested and it appears that all of them hutoneservedmaTenneaaeeregimentagamst fterebemon The solitary caption is of Northernbirth, and anphoWer of tv, low government.

myHl lawCwM. The present week will vary somewhat in annonncement from Us immediate predecessor, bat to no considerable extont. The production of Mr. De Walden'B new play at tho Olympic, is the only novelty of absolute importance but of that we will Bpeak further on. THE JAPS continued tq be the attraction during the past week their nimble and powerful legs quite successfully competing for popular favor, with the oxpert trotters of the young ladies of the ballet.

To such of our readers as have witnessed their performances at the New York Academy, or attended the matinee last Friday at our own Academy, we need add nothing in the way of praise. But all were not ao for. tunate and for their benefit we would reiterate our conviction of the great superiority of the troupe. It may be interesting to know that Professor Risloy himself an acrobat and performer of renown, secured the troupe in the following manner Some years since he organized a mammoth circus company which he took at great expense to Japan, intending to do" the country and add much shekels to his purse. In which entirely laudable intention he failed.

Because in the first place the Japs wouldn't let him go throngh tho conntry. And in the Bccond place he fonnd people there who could give him fifty and double discount him winning the game with ease. Having observed with professional interest the astounding performances of the Court acrobats, Prof RiBley made up his mind that there was money in the troupe, and at once set about securing them. The Japs are a curionB people and don't permit any great amount of foreign interference very naturally, then, the Professor's proposition to carry off their expert jumpers and balancers riled and made them wroth. But, no ways stuck to it.

He interested General Van Valkenbnrgh, Mr. Banks the Consul, and others, had many interviews with the hicockalorums of lofty degree, and finally, after four years incessant argument, disappointment and devilment, obtained the kind permission of the imperial Tycoon to bring away the nimble Japs, giving bonda in $100,000 for their certain return. He took them to San Francisco, arranged with Mr. Tom Maguire, the king pin of California theatricals, to exhibit them here, there and everywhere, and at once started out on his career towards fame and fortune. The Japs made money in California, and arc making fortunes here.

The New York house is crowded every night by the best people of the city. The Wednesday and Saturday matinccB arc thronged and we were glad to note so large an attendance at our Academy on Friday last. The regular opera and theatre goera were out in full force, but in addition the ladles and children, who rarely if ever attend public performances, fairly packed tho place. The Directors' Box was full of course it was and in the proscenium box immediately opposite was a double row beauty in the front and notablcB in the rear. Four sweet faced little darlings, toward whom "All Right" Bent most killing glances, sat in front, while Bev.

Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Can field, and one of the Kmes' editorial Btaff, sat in the rear. Prof. Bisley was presented to Mr.

Beecher, and after explaining many matters of interest to him, took the party upon the stage, where the whole company of Japs made their lowest obeisances and talked as best they could. Mr. Banks, who acts as interpreter, and Mr. Edward Hand, the Treasurer, were also very attentive, and afforded much entertainment and instruction. In the evening Mr.

Beecher, at his Friday evening prayer meeting, alluded to his visit to the Japs and described the facility with which they use their foot as readily as we use our hands drawing from it and other facts connected with the exhibition the moral that all parts of man'a organism are susceptible of high cultivation, and lhat what it ia possible to do becomes a duty to be done. We quite agree with this deep hearted teacher that the head and hands and feet of bis congreealion.can be educated to a high point of excellence, dexterity and usefulness, but we doubt if oven he could curb the tongues of many of thum, or turn the heart of a fanatic or a bigot, to the channel of charity, kind feeling or generosity. But this is something ofa digression. The Japs were, are and will be a great success the greatest success of the year, and we are heartily glad for the sake of our Brooklyn people the ladies and children more particularly, that Messrs. Risloy and Magnire have determined to give one or two Friday matinees.

If they will have tickets for sale on Wednesday and Thursday they can count on a much larger attendance than if the ladies arc obliged to stand the pressure of a crowd on the day of performance. OLYMPIC THEATRE. Mr. Grover has underlined for some weeks past a new local drama called "Treasure Trove" no author named. To night it will be presented for the first time, with new scenery, stage appointments, machinery and effects.

The story is said to be taken from Lover's work of the same name, and our old friend Dr. Walden in other dayB a brilliant member of the "Star Club" is its reputed adapter. The cast embraces Mies Kate Newton, Mrs. Mark Smith and Miss Alice Harrison, three cf the prettiest ladies on stage, Messrs. George Clark, Stuart Robson, W.

Whal ley, A. W. Fennu, and other gentlemen and Iadie3 well known and favorably regarded by the public. The play is avowedly sensational. It presents views from life at BlackwelPs Island Broad street tho New York Stock Exchange the Herald Buildings (a little on the toady this), the new bridge a Nassau street Barroom and last but not least, a gay and matrimonial tableau in Grace Church.

A Btory of "gold" will be interesting to many listen, ers a story of "buried gold" will bo attractive to many more. But "Treasure Trove" doesn't stop at any half way house. It tells of death and resurrection love and hate speculation and realisation the market, its bulls and its bears in lact it tells of human nature as it exists here and hereabouts. Wo are glad to know that to night's house will be tremendous, and if we may judge of the result by the rehearsal promise, the Buccessful run of the play is already assured. NIBLO 8 GARDEN.

The Herald is trying to make it appear that the Black Crook" is a failure. If this be a failure would that we were one and all "Black Crooks." It must be pleasant to fail at a profit of thousands of greenbacks every week. Already over 550,000 people havo seen this vision of beauty, and thousands yet are preparing to do so. Tho attendance at the matinees for the past fortnight.lhough large and profitable, has not been so tremendous as before for very good reasons. The Japanese and Madame Ristori two new elements have on both oc casions drawn away thousands who might properly be considered habitues of the "Crook." But to call a play a failure which has made aud is making for its producers a fortune every month, is quite as absurd as it would be to call Mark Twain's first lecture a success because he had a large audience.

A new importation of dancers and an entirely novel arrangement of scenic and mechanical device will be presented in a few days, and arrangements are perfected by which the uninterrupted prosperity of the "Black Crook" is secured, even down to the next Christmas Holidays. RISTORI. Madame Ristori having graciously condescended to make a clear pium of 200,000 during her tour has gone to her own place, Now that she has gone it is quite proper to remark that taken as a whole the venerable lady was some. what boresome. In certain aspects 9be waa sublime in others she waa soporific.

In Eome plays her presence upon the stage was a mere incident, an occaaional occurrence. At such times the performence was an intolerable nuisance. In the first place the Bweet German accent given to the Italian vernacular by her supporters" was tantalizing in the extreme to any one at all famUiar with the language in the next, the support was on an average a stick." But even Ristori herself was at times more than an ordinary human conld endure. We have seen in the Brooklyn Academy many a heavy eyelid, many a nodding head during the quiet delivery of the ordinary passages. We recall at thia moment the huge corpo rosity of a prominent merchant who, ornamenting the front row of the Balcony, waB night after night moved to gentle slnmber by the monotonous tones of the silver tongued Ristori.

And in New York it was the same thing. To see Ristori once in Medea, twice in Mary Stuart, three times in Elisabeth was quite enough one need never again care to spend four hours in the theatre listening two hours to the common nonsense of the stick company, one hour to the orchestra, half an hour to Eistorl, and devoting the other half to an unconcealed yawn. Fashion does a great deal, but oven fashion failed to secure a decent house at Ristori's fareweU in Brooklyn. New York is full of strangers and owing to their curl. osity Ristori went away in a blaze of glory, and con lie down, if she chooses, upon a tender bod of bank notes.

Vat a country dis be, ant vot a peebles I BROADWAY THEATRE. Mr. Moore's management of the Broadway Theatre ia moat creditable also profitable. Mr. Hack ett'B engagement continues very popular, and has been extended for another week.

This week he presents a varied and an excellent programme, which all lovers of Sbakspearian hnmor will appreciate. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings Falstalf, in Henry Fourth Tuesday and Thursday evenings. In Merry Wives of Windsor and at the Saturday matinee, which no one should miss, Mons. Mallett" and "His Last Legs," two of the jollicst bre. vltlea ever written or acted.

Mr. Hackett belongs to a school of actors almost gone. He haa his absurdities and infelicities, like many another; bnt hiB excellencies outnumber them by far, and on bis like we do not often look. At the termination of his engagement be will be succeeded by Miss Lucille Western, the sensation of sensations. Lucille Western is a very beautiful woman, a very capable woman, a woman of great experience.

Start, ing without much education, continuing a long time in a achool where but little good training waa afforded working against the tide all the time, and with bad advisers, she has, nevertheless, attained a point of power and place from which she cannot be moved. Had she received a twentieth of the culture, care, and attention showered on Kate Bateman she would long since have shone in the dramatic firmament a sun among the stars. Years ago we urged her vacation for awhile the time to be devoted to Btudy, to elocution, to reading, but her agents and managers preferred the caah of the present to the certain fome and fortune of the future, and the consequence was that a great artist was limited to a very attractive actress. Lucille will open on Monday, May 27tb, in her peculiar role of Lady Isabel" a personation that never fails to draw tears from the hardest old flint that over struck fire. Give her a good support brother Moore she's worth it.

NEW YORK THEATRE. The charming young ladles whoBC management la gradually but surely reviving the reputation of tho New York Theatre, and whose varied atttactiong are making the house a favorite resort, are to be congratulated on the bucccss that has thus far attended their efforts to please the metropolitan public. This will be their third week. To night they give a great bill "Fro Diavolo" and Cinderella" both good, and full of incidents and songa. Sophie, Irene, and Jennie different in looks, action and attraction appear in both plccoa, and afford an evcning'B entertainment that is unsurpassed by any similar endeavor in the country.

Mr. Baker's atage management la, of course, admirable. As time and opportunity are granted Mm, ho Vfill add to and Improve the stage faculties of tho A Sermon by tne Kcf. George Lansing: Taylor. There was a large audience assembled in the Carlton avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, last evening, to hear a discourse upon the above subject.

The eennon was a somewhat lengthy compariaon between Ahab, King of Israel, and Andrew Johnson, and between lientmdad, King of Assyria, and Jeff. Davis. The text selected was the forty second verse of the twentieth chapter of flret Kings "And he saith unto him Thus saith the Lord, because thou hast let go out of thine hand a man whom I have appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his In his opening remarks the reverend gentlemaa said Mr Bkethben at Feliow CmzEHs: I come not here to night to instruct you, but as one of you, and a citizen of this land, to let my voice be heard in denunciation of and remonstrance against one of the greatest outrageB in all history. If any man doubts the propriety of my taking in hand the subject which I propose to discuss to night on account of my position as a Christian minister in a Christian pulpit, for no one can doubt it on any other grounds, I answer him that it is for that very reason I speak. The duty of my position requires it of me.

My text is my warrant to speak and itB application to the circumstances before UB compels me to speak. A prophet of God pronounced the terrible sentence of thiB text upon a miscreant King of Israel. What the prophets were in the Old Testament, and to the Old Testament Church the apostles and evangelists were to the New, and the Christian ministry is to the Christian Church, and that to the end of Time. Wo to the Church and mankind when her prophets fail to lift np their voices against all evil, and so it will be continually forever. THE CASE AND THE WABRANT.

We are to day presented with a mockery of national justice at which one burst of righteous and irresistible indignation should shake this land from end to end, till our poltroon President, and his craven advisers, shall blanch with fear and do, in very terror of their masters, the people, the justice at which they seem to hesitate and trifle. Every loyal press, every loyal pulpit, every loyal forum in the land should peal with instant and incessant thunder for justice, till justice dare not be denied. I stand, by God's providence, in this pulpit aB a representative, though an unworthy one, of the Christian ministry, and especially as a representative of this Christian Church. Every Church in the land should speak out now. This church can only bo heard through the incumbent of its pulpit.

I know that in this church are good men and true, whose cheeks mantle with shame, and whose blood boils in their veins at this insult to their country and their manhood. They have told me bo they have sanction ed my convictions of duty in this matter. I thank them for it Next to the sanction of God, that of good men is the strongest encouragement to the discharge of trying duty. But I claim a warrant higher than that of men of the church. I claim the warrant of all men of humanity at laree, the warrant of conscience, the wan ant of the whole tenor of God's word, the warrant of God Almighty himself.

I claim this warrant, too, from the time of Pharaoh, who hardened his heart before the great prophet Moses, to the time of Felix, who trembled before that groat preacher, Paul, both messengers of God, who all along has made kings and potentates tremble at his words by the mouth of his servants, and will continue to do so till all kings shall fall down before him, and all nations shall serve him. It is by this warrant that I call upon this assembly to join with me in the sentiments I shall utter, if there be patriots, or if there be men here. THE REBELLION AND ITS LEADER. The most atrociously monstrous, gigantic and wicked rebellion of all history, haa lately been suppressed in this country. Rlvere of blood and treasure have been expended in the struggle.

It has cost a million and a quarter of human lives, and three thousand millions of dollars to accomplish its overthrow. But it has been accomplished. The armies of the nation havo triumphed, and the hosts of rebellion have been scattered to the winds. Its bravest leaders surrendered as soldiers on the field of battle as brave men should. But, not bo with its author and head, he from whose brain, as Minerva of old from the head of Jove, it Bprang full sized and fully armed, who was thirty yoara planning and plotting it not bo with him.

Proud and stubborn, and desperate to the last, when his power was crushed he fled, sullenly, thievishly, scandalously fled with the treasures of those whom he had deluded, struggling to bear off all possible booty from the country he conld not rule, but could bring to the very verge of ruin. This arch traitor, this outlaw, this Prince of all rebels, pirates and villains, with a price set on bis head, was pursued through a hundred weary leagues, chased through three great States, and finally captured in the cowardly disguise of a woman and brought To what? To justice? Far from it. To trial for his crimes It is to be feared not. He was brought back and guarded at the expense of the nation for two years in her strongest fortress, as it now appears to be tyrannized over in a hand and glove way by a man who dared not, or wished not to bring to an honest trial the foremost, vastest villain on the globe, and who, now, his petty pique, and conscious inferiority being somewhat appeased, brings his prisoner before an inferior court, to be instantly released on bail at which any first class horse thief would have thought himself held too cheap. HIS HELEASE AND ITS SEQUEL.

And, presto, that diabolical wretch, clothed and clotted with the blood of our murdered brothers, haunted by the ghosts of the thousands of husbands and fathers who starved and rotted beneath his stony eyes, when a stroke of Ins pen might have secured thorn the treatment of civilized warfare, is turned loose upon the the nation to come at once and take up his headquarters in one of the most sumptuous hotelB of the metropolis of this loyal nation, and there receive the crawling homage of human snakes, who slipped from their dens to do bim homage while he snapped his bloody fingers in the face of an outraged country. This is the scene from which only the narrow strait of the East Eiver has separated you and me during the past week. This has been done amongst us without interference or remonstrance, almost without rebuke, while at the other end of the land the apostles of liberty and order, employing that freedom ot speech which is the dearest birthright of the Anglo Saxon race, have been fired upon with volleys of musketry, even on the public rostrum, and are only defended from murder in New Orleans by the bayonets of loyal Phil. Sheridan. Amazing upshot of such a tremendous struggle I Have we conquered the Rebellion, or has it conquered us 1 Had these scenes, persons and places been reversed, had Jefferson Davis been a Northern man in a Southern city, in the relation to that population which he bears to this population, not one brick of that hotel would have been left upon another, within three hours from the time he entered.

Successful flight or death would have been his fate on the spot. THE PRESIDENT. But I am nothcre to sneak of Jefferson Davln. hut nf that recreant chief magistrate of our disgraced eoun villainy who has turned traitor, at whose name all the black names of history grow white. It is for the benefit ofthe moral so terribly apt in allicsapplications thSt have chosen, as a parallel to the case before us, the story ofthe wicked Ahab's unfaithfulness in dealing with Israel's vanquished foe Benhadad.

The points of Buniuvritv between his public career and that of An drew Johnson are of the most striking character. Uere the reverend crentlernan entered UDon the con sideration of these points of similarity, which may bo briefly enumerated as follows (11 The mode ol their accession to power both were raised by murder. The predecessor of Ahab, as the predecessor of Andrew Johnson, was duly elected to the kingship by the suffrages ofthe people. (2.) Alter their accession, the next point of similarity was in their broken promises and apostacv. Ahab was.

undoubtedly, allowed to succeed on the understanding tnat no snoum upuoiti tne institutions oi tne country and the worship of God. Israel was divided into two great tactions at that time the idolatrous and the faithful and he was the representative of the faithful when he came into power. Precisely so in the case of Andrew Johnson. lie was nominated by the faithful, loyal hearted people of this nation, and was elected by their suffrages. All his antecedents had been such as, in some measure, to justify this act.

All his pledges at that time, sustained it. All his conduct during his position in authority, where he had no power to mould the policy and shape the destiny of the! nation, was 6uch as Btill to nurse this idea Just the moment that he came into power' from the very day that he pronounced that drunken inaugural, his course has oeen a perpetual aisappomi ment to those who placed him in power, a perpetual ehame and disgrace upon the suffrages of this people. Just such was the conduct of Ahab. No sooner had he become established in power than he married Jezebel, a pagan princess, and daughter of a pagan king, and, marrying her, he linked himself to the idolatrous faction in Israel which she represented. He turned him bcu over completely to tue laoiatrous party ana set up their worship throughout the land.

Tne persecution oi tneir lormur uuius. In the overthrow of their efforts by the loyal people. (5.) In their fiercer attempts at persecution thereafter. (6.) In their treatment of those who had opposed the cause of God and of right. Benhadad boastfully sent to Ahao demanmng submission, ana Anao sumDittea unui further attempts at the degradation of Israel stirred np the hearts of Ahab's counsellors, and he was forced to resist.

Eenhadad's army was defeated and himself forced to take refuge in a city, whence, by the advice of hiB ministers, he came out with a rope around his neck and submitted. Thereupon, Ahab called him his brother, made him ride in hiB carriage by him, and released him on his giving; back all the cities which his lather had taken Irom Ahab a tather cities which it was easy to give back because they had never belonged to him. For this release of Benhadad. the sentence of the text was pronounced upon' Ahab, and shortly after carneQ out ior naving gone out to Daitio in disguise ne was killed by an arrow from a bow, drawn at a venture. SUSPICIONS.

A number of other comoariBons were made. To ward the close the speaker remarked that Andrew ohn son succeeded to power under suspicious cirenmstan ces. John H. Surratt said it was never intended th.it Andrew Johnson should be assassinated, If that was true it was because there was an understanding with Andrew Johnson by the assassinB of Abraham Lincoln before hand. After hiB succession there was a suspicious amount of bluster on his part about making treason odious.

And he had broken every pledge, aud betrayed his country at every opportunity, from that time to this. He has suspiciously dealt with Surratt wuu i reguraeci aB one oi tne leading conspirators. When he might have arrested him, when it is pretty clear thathc knew where he was, he did not arresthim, but allowed him to escape from the country, to serve in the army of the Pods, and to escano to Egypt where he never inimnpil him till driven to it by CongresB. His trial has been put off uuuui vtuiuua pretences, ana tnere are strong indications that he will not be tried if Johnson can prevent it. His conduct to Clay and others concerned in this treason has been the same in cverv rennnnt And now he has crowned all this course of conduct by the release 1 10 auuci bucii circumstances as mu it pretty certain that the whole thing was desimed from the first that he has been detaining him in prison, gradually to tire out and break down the loyal feeling in this country, and to wait till the sentiment came to promp this release after he had gratified his own petty personal prejudice.

I lay it down as a premise that cither Andrew Johnson dare not try Jefferson Davis, or be does not wish to try him. "The rumor is current, and I have heard it from high authority, that the counsel of Jefferson Davis! Charles O'Conor of New York, has in his possession a letter written by Andrew Johnson, when he was in the State of Tennessee, before the State seceded a letter offering to bring over to him the State of Tennessee, if Jefferson Davis would give Andrew Johnson a place in the cabinet." And Charles O'Conor says ''Try my client any day you please, and I will publish this letter to the United States and the world and of course the game ia blocked, if that be truo so far as Andrew Johnson is Concerned. HORACE GREELEY. One of the most lamentable and disgraceful facts connected with this transaction has been the defection of one of the leading organB of the loyal and faithful party and people of this country, in this cause I speak of the New York TrUmne, ami of its editor, Horace Greeley (Faint applause) Horace Greeley a man who has done noble service to his country, who has been infallibly right upon the point of anti slavery, and who has hung to it with a tenacity worthy of all praise, but who has made the greatest blunders in other matters, and made the greatest blunder of all hia life when he became the first bailsman of Jefferson Davis, a blunder that will blot his name forever in the hearts of the loyal people of this country, a blunder that aestroys his influence, if he ever was a leader of the Radical party. He comes out in his paper and congratulates the people and the government upon having "got rid of the elephant," aalf Jefferson Davis waB an elephant, and this country a country of ni" mies, and there was not authority enough and nower enough in the conntry to manage the elephant Jef terson Davis.

(Laughter.) One ofthe highest compliments that treason ever had, and one of the lowest to loyalty. This is not the teaching of history this is not the teaching of the word of Goa. f' The lecturer i ited history to Bhow the punishment which England had bestowed upon traitorsTand Scripture to show the visitation of God upon such notable examples as Abealom and Judan. rTnia .7. he said, had never punished traitors.

This relcaso of upon its Kindness and whether he will ever bo brought to trial or not defended on the course of the people. Ji they nuietiv acquiesced, the case would go default, bat their indignation was aroused an attempt at justice would be uiauu. The negroes employed in the tobacco factories of Lynchburg having struck for higher wages, the employers agreed to give twisters and roll makers 2.25 per hundred pounds, in lieu of $1.75. till June, when, for the three months ensuing they will give $2,50, lightened gentlemen will continue their study of the Constitution; they will discover new iieauties in every succeeding clause, and nnd that there are other guarantees to the people oesules freedom of speech, the right of rep resentation, for instance. TFelehman and Mrs.

Surratt. Weichman, the principal witness in the case of the late Mrs. Surratt. is asrain before the public. It seems that he is now a resident of Philadelphia, and in that city he met a former school companion of his, who is now a newspaper correspondent, and to whom he related his version of the "assasination conspiracy." Weichman is described "as a round bellied "young man of twenty four, brown haired "with dimples and tints all over him, a mus "tache that will never come to much, a nose "with a good deal of bridge to it, clear light "eyes that do not strain by their near sighted "ness, and that bodily prematurity which "makes him 'waddle' somewhat in gait, and "was expressed by Surratt in the nickname of It is evident from the tone of his narrative that he is ready to be useful to the old patron, Secretary Stanton, should that gen tleman need his service the case of John Surratt, whose trial for some mysterious reason has been so often postponed.

Weichman, it will be seen from what follows, is quite proud of the part he played in the Surratt case, and is probably the only man living on God's earth who enjoys a similar satisfaction. I believe. Hir ho rYVniehmim PTMnlmpil tn the. pitch of the narrative, "that I was providentially thrown in the WAV of thnnn npfinl. Ihjif lvjia an in strument prepared to convict them.

Look 1 it was I that introduced St, Mnurie to John Surratt two years Delore the assanijinntion hnw did lrnnw that nnp. waB to he theman who should chase the other round trie world and bring Mm home 1 Look again 1 on Good nday asforder came from Mr. Stanton to the donai mentis whicta I was clerk, giving only the Catholic mPoyes holiday for the afternoon. But for that holi QaJ(r I should never have driven Mrs. Surrat.t out cn irrattville four hours before the murder, and it was at anvc mat nangca ner." Weichman became acquainted with the Sur ratt family through John Surratt, with whom he was associated at St.

Charle's College, a Roman Catholic Seminary located near Baltimore. Weichman afterwards accepted a situation in St. Matthew's College, Washington, where Surratt called upon him and renewed his school boy acquaintance. At his request he paid a visit to the Surratt homestead and was warmly welcomed. In 1863 both the young men became incidentally acquainted with St.

Maurie, who figures so prominently in the subsequent capture of John Surratt. This unprincipled scoundrel is described as "an adventurer," who had left Canada to "avoid the consequence of a heartless seduction of a very beautiful and virtu "ous young lady." He was then paying his addresses to a young lady to whom Weichman says he wrote cautioning her to "beware." Here is Weichman's account of the friend he was so fortunate as to have introduced to Surratt "His stories of himself were that he had been a member of the Canadian Parliament, a Federal nris oner of State, but at any rate ho decamped irom tne uonege alter a month, leaving mo to pay his board, and enlisted for the bounty in a Delaware regiment. deserted, fell into Castle Thunder as an object of gen i euepiciuii, wua ruicuscu oy reason oi playing informer upon his comrades, escaped by a blockade runner to England, returned to Canada, and hearing of the reward for Surratt pursued him to Rome, en ncieo. imu mm, iiuu uvc nuu up JUHL too jaLO lor tue reward which had already heen withdrawn." In 1803, the Surratts removed to Washington, and Weichman entered the family as a boarder. He was then employed as a clerk in the War Department.

It appears from Weichman's narrative that Surratt met Booth accidentally about three months before Mr. Lincoln's assassination, and was introduced to him by Dr. Mudd. Booth visited the Surratts, and seems to have been a favorite of the ladies of the household, as he appears, indeed, to have been wherever he visited. On the day of the murder, "Good Friday," Weichman was allowed a holiday, as were those of his fellow clerks who belonged to the Roman Catholic Church, in consideration, we presume, of the respect paid to the day by the adherents of that Church.

On that day, Weichman says, he began to think of changing his boarding house, but when he reached his quarters Mrs. Surratt asked him to spend his afternoon in taking her to drive. This, Weichman believes to have been a Providential interposition that he might observe their complicity and con vict them, if not defeat them." He adds that she (Mrs. Surratt) died for that Though nothing is reported as having occurred during it, except that Mrs. Surratt inquired at what time the pickets were removed at nightfall." This, then, appears to have been the evidence on which Mrs.

Surratt was convicted. He goes on to say who had made her son's acquaintance so unwittingly, and slept under her roof so long without tin kindness given or received, do not shrink to say that have never been sorry that I accompanied her. And when she died I felt, saddened but not self accusiug; for if there is a doubt thai she was a principal in trie murder, there is no doubt, to my mind, that she knew enough to prevent it, to ave the President, the Secretary of State, Eooth, and the tools of Booth, and, perhaps, her own son. That night I was weary, and read myself to sleep. At three o'clock in the morning, called from my bed by loud hands upon the door, I heard the challenge of "'Officers of the Government.

The attempt to build up a Republican party in the South, without naming in its platform a single principle which can possibly be of permanent national concern, appears to be attended with very considerable difficulty. Mr.

Wilson assures his friends in the North that they msy count on ninety per cent of the negro vote. Now, the question comes up will the Northern wing of the party stand this alliance It is conceded that if the blacks of the South can he arrayed solidly on one side, the whites of that section are pretty sure to be found on the other, and in this conflict between the races, the white men of the North will be strongly tempted to side with their own color. Then comes in Du Chaillu with his opinion that the blacks are sure to disap pear in time. Mr. Greeley indignantly denies this, but even he is forced to confess, that the incessant acquisition of white emigrants will leave the blacks an inconsiderable fragment of the population.

Even as it is, says the New York Times, the blacks are outnumbered by the whites two to one in nearly every South ern State. It is to be hoped, adds the Times, that the Republican Party will perceive and realize this drift of political events, in time to throw off the responsibility of it, and so es carje the destruction which it involves.

Two different plans for arranging the bridge have been talked over. That designed by Engineer Adams contemplated a two story structure, the upper story to have a sidewalk on each aide for foot passengers, and the balance for passenger cars and trains, the whole width of that plan to be fifty feet. Beneath this, at a distance of some eighteen feet, is to be another floor, to be used exclusively for foot passengers; this roadway to be twenty five feet wide the cars on the upper Btory to be propelled by stationary power at each end of the bridge.

This is the plan which has been most generally talked about, the diagram of which was on exhibition at Albany during the winter. The necessity, however, of constructing the bridge with a grade rising from the terminna of at least five feet to every one hundred until the centre of the sides is reached, is generally considered as presenting serious objections more than a one story structnre. In order that the lower story may bo fully protected it will be neceseary that the lattice work should be very close together, the upper grade from each end to the centre of the bridge, being, as contemplated, a rise of thirty feet between the point at each tower and the middle of the river, it will necessarily shut of all ligutrom each end of the bridge, and give to that story the appearance ofa tunnel while passing through it. It will also necesfitatetie increase of theneight of the towers for the lower tide of the bridge in order not to impede navigation, and to be one hundred and thirty feet above the water at the centre of the river; if to this is added two stories, it will bring the upper Bide of the bridge that much higher, and increase the danger from tornados and hurricanes. This plan contemplates two sets of cables, one on each side.

Several of the parties interested consulted Engineer Hoebling, before he was appointed, and it appears that he favors only one story, or one floor bridge, and about seventy five feel wide. This width approaches the limit beyond which it will not be Bafe to go any more than four or five feet in constructing a bridge. In this plan it is proposed to have three sets of cables, one on each side and one in the middle of the bridge. The roadway to be arranged in this plan in the following manner: A sidewalk on each side for foot passengers, seven feet in width, both making fourteen ieet devoted to foot passengers. Next inside of these walks a carriageway of thirteen feet each, or twenty six feet combined.

On the inside of this carriageway, which will be the space on each side of the cables in the middle of the bridge, is a Bpace for cars, say about aixteen feet each, or thirty two feet in all. This leaves three feet out of the seventy five for railings and cables in the middle ol the bridge. In this way Mr. Roebling estimates that he can provide for the accommodation of two hundred and fifty thousand people to cross the bridge in a day. THE PLAN AND COST OF THE BRIDGE.

The cars he proposes to have constructed on a plan specially adopted for the service, wide and open, and capable of accommodating 6ne hundred passengers each, and so arranged as to enable passengers to get ofl'imd on more rapidly than any now in use. The propelling power to be stationary engines at each end, and an endless cable. The bridge rising from each end until it reaches the centre, the moment that the car passes the centre of the bridge it becomes in itself a propelling power. It is estimated that these cars can be run across the bridge, when completed, from Main street, Brooklyn, to tne City, Hall, New York, in three minutes, without any difficulty or danger. If this should prove correct upon trial, it will be a great improvement over the present system of crossing the East River: Under this plan it is believed that the bridge can bu built, otoq with the present high prices, at a cost inside of $0,000,000 All the plans that have been canvassed provide for a grade or thirty feet between the tower on each side of the river and the centre of the bridge.

Thus, while the bridge is to be one hundred and thirty feet above the water in the centre, it is to bo 100 feet, high at each of the towers. Since Mr. Hoebling has been selected as the engineer of the bridge, it is probable that the above will be the outline of the plan that will finally be adopted. But no plan will be definitely settled upon until the engineer has time to make the surveys and perfect his plans and estimates in accordance with the condition ofthe ground as shown by actual surveys. Whatever plan Mr.

Roebling may recommend will no doubt be adopted, his experience being such that the company will be willing to leave it entirely to his judgment. The next question will be as to capital to carry on the work. But of this there is but little doubt manifested. Should the report of such an experienced engineer as Mr. Roebling be as favorable as is now believed it will be, there will be no trouble on thatpoint It is stated that one hundred men in the city of Brooklyn now stand ready to take of the stock each.

This is two and a half millions to start with. THE FERRIES AND THE BRIDGE PROJECT. Considerable has been said in reference to the opposition of the Union Ferry Company to the construction of this bridge, and that they are working to delay it. This may be the case with Borne of the individual members, but not generally. There are two incorporators named in the bridge bill who own large interests in the Union Ferry Company, seeing the question ot opposition, of the ferry to the bridge agitated in the papers, these men bo came forward and stated that if their names would in any way embarrass this enterprise, they wanted to resign and lot others be selected in their places.

It is in fact believed that the bridge will not destroy the business of the ferries, but by the increase of traffic between the two cities in its construction there will De business for both bridge and ferries. The terminus of the bridge will be so far back that it will not always be found convenient for those who are doing business near the docks to send their carts and carriages or go themselves back to the starting point of the bridge to get across. This alone will furniBh business for the ferries. Such, at least, is the belief of those connected with that interest. The idea of opposition to the bridge from that source may therefore be dismissed.

Tlic Spiritualists in Brooklyn Address by Mrs. Wilcoxson, Xrance OTodlam Startling Predictions from, tne Spirit World Humors of Wars to Come, The Spiritualists of this city are experiencing a revival, owing to the acquisition of the services of Mrs. Wilcoxson, trance medium. They bold meetings every Sunday afternoon and evening in the lecture room on Cumberland street, near Lafayette avenue. Last evening tho lecture room waB filled to its utmost capacity by 8 varied audience, many of whom were evidently present out of curiosity.

The utmost quiet prevailed. Mrs. Wilcoxson was seated on the platform usually occupied by speakers, and conducted tho services. She was attired in a plain black dress, and appeared to be an ordinary looking woman of about forty years of age. Her face does not indicate either great bodily or mental vigor, and her voice, which varied but little from a Bing song style of delivery would indicate her to be a Westorn woman.

After two hymns had been sung by the choir, and a selection of Scripture read by Mrs. Wilcoxson; that lady arose and inquired whether any person desired to ask any question. Thereupon a gentleman arose and asked if tho American people would pass through the present crisis without another war. The medium remained silent a few seconds, and then with her eyes closed, but her body going through all the motions of a speaker, commenced to deliver an address, which lasted over an hour. The re cent war, she argued, was caused by the people's abuse of the liberty they had, and which they faUed to accord to all men, and by the corruption of those in power.

Ab revolutiors were a cleanBing power and Intended by to men Know ana ao uia win, just so wouia they be reneated nntil tlinlrwnrlr xrflfl nrmmnllsherr When the recent war came to a close, the people of tnis country laiied, and still fail, to apply the liberty intended to be given to nil men, and those who were in rebellion were not conquered in Bpirit bat only in power therefore there existed at the present time a spirit of rebellion and revolution, whose leaden waves rolled beneath the calm surface of apparent peace, only to break forth in the course of five years and again bring war to this country. To this war would be added the miBerieB of famine and plague, bat tho people would conic out of their trials recreated and better fitted to do God's will. There was only one thing which could avert these calamities, and that was a knowledge and performance of God's will. But the spirits of heaven, the said, saw more evil coming in the future, and great changes to be wrought in the course of fifteen years. The Papal power, which was rapidly waning in Europe, had determined, through its Jesuitical emissariea, to transfer the Papal chair from Home to this country, and would not only attempt to rule spiritually but politically in this Republican America.

The mass of the Roman Catholics, among whom there were many truly good people, were not knowing to this plot, but it was being worked out oy the Pope, Cardinals and Priests, principally through the agency of the Jesuits, and with the connivance of persona in power in this country. The ateps taken by the Catholics to aid and educate the freedmen were simply for the pnrpose of gaining such power over them as would give the former iho colored vote. The late Fenian movement was also intended to get money and arms to aid this plot. For a time the Roman Catholics would be partially successful In gaining power in this country, but in the course of a few years the European powers, now rapidly throwing on the tyranny of Catholicism, would see more danger in the new power, which would be finally overthrown by the Proteatanta in this country, aided by European governments. Then would the American people rise in the glorions light of true liberty and shine the foremost of nations.

Mrs. Wilcoxson was listened to attentively, and several times applauded, but as there was little change in linr tnne nf voire, and manv renelitions in her exoroa srion of ideas, the consequence was that a number went to Bleep. Communication with Long Island.
