The Secret of All Oratory. Prvm Zions Herald. It la only when a ministor preaches out of bit own heart that be reaches the hearts of other, A purely intellectual sermon stops with the in tolled a doctrinal sermon ts nothing more tbad a spiritual opiate. But let a man uucr what baa felt and known, let him touch tiie harp-string that has vibrated In his own soul, and there oomei that bush and spell over an audience that chained attention, that lifting of faces wbicti teems like a white tablet for Gods finger to write on.

There appears to be a studied effort in some directions lo treat Mr Ernst Nathau one of the leading candidate for the position of Collector of luteruai Hex euue in this district, uuiairly No Repulhcan who is seeking a poiitiou under the Federal Gcxernrueut iu say with truth that he uot found id the columns of tr.e Tints a vehicle for tbe impartial prtsenia tiou of bis claims" for recoguitiou upou tbe Admiui-trsuon, though this paper has steadily adhered to tbe that it really makts little difference to the 70.0U0 He f.biican xotersnf king Count) hat candiuaa or the Federal offices are successful, and that (fit: KepuL.lcsu party bos higher aims and purposes than mere erfee follow lug Tbe only serious side tbe scramble for office bus to the vast body of Republican voters is lu the danger that it mxo.ves of so disgusting men who support the Re pubi.Cau ticket from 'priuciplolhat the) will May Hwa) from (he polls in an important eernon like that of the Majoralty next fall still common Justice demands that missiatemeuts In re gard to the Republicans should not go uucorrected. It is uot true, as published jesierday, that Mr. William J. Taylor, of the Nineteenth has filed an appheatiou for appointment as Collector of internal Revenue In the First District with the Treasury Department at Wasbtugtou. Mr.

Tayior has Doiitlvely deuled that staieuieuc He has indorsed the application of Mr Nathan for the place and he Im not witbdraxvn his indorsement of that candidature nor stultified himself by applying for me place himself while his name remains as an indorser upon Mr Nathan papers, which are on hlem Wxhtugton Aa-euibi) man Fiauk 8tcii said Jonu to tbi moruiug that Mr laylor had tiled no application for sppoiutmeut as Collector ol Interual Revenue and that the Republican association of the Mueteeutb Ward favored the uppoiuiment of Mr Nathan It is undoubtedly true that Mr. Joseph F. Knapp, of the Niueieeutb Ward, who was the host of President Harnsoa oDecoration dav last, has written a letter to the President strong urglug the selection of Mr Nathau for this place, aud Col. Andrew D. Baird boa written a letter of a similar tenor to Boo retary of the Navy Tracy It is said that in this letter Col Baird claims it childish on the part of men ho origiually indorsed the appucattou of Mr Natnau to oppose him at this stave of the gAtue.

and that his ap- Eotntincut would be in the direction of restoring arraouy in the orguuizattou iu Kings toumy Uuder these circumstance to talk of it belug" Mr. Taylors turn now" seems umseuxiLtoVhee who are familiar with all tbe fact. -It seems to be conceded that the4ppolntment to (he coilectorsbtp of interual Revenue will Dot go outside Hie district represented by Congressman illiam Vi a II ace. which embraces the seventh, lbirteeuth, Ninueeutb. Twentieth, lwenty-hrst aud Twenty third Wards, and right here possibly mi) be found the true reason for the boom gratuitous!) givcu to Mr.

lay ior directions yesterday. The friends of Mr. Granville Harman, of the Twenty -nftn Ward, apparently concede that he Is doxy out of the race as a nou resident of the 1 bird District, and the same reason tnat would take him out would withdraw ex-Coroner Henry Hesse, of the Sixteeuth Ward, Mr. Chester D. burrows, of the Fuueutb Ward, whose name wus quite mysteriously mentioned in this connection as a harmony candidate" for the first time yesterday; Mr.

William Grace, who livea down iu the Teutb Ward, aud ex-Aldermau James Birkett, of the Fourth Ward, the acting Chairmau of the Republican Executive Committee and Treasurer of the General committee, who by some has beeu regarded as the real candidate of the opposition to Mr. Nathan lo the organization all along. It is understood that Mr. illiam J. Taylor has an eye on the Brooklyn Post Office, and if he should make up his anud to euter a contest for that office he would have very powerful backiug among Republicans of Kiugs Couuly.

bo far, however, the member of tho Execntive Committee from the Nineteenth Ward is "hastening slowly." where his own political ambitiou is concerned, though he mauages lo secure a fair share of what is goiug iuvihe way of patronage for the Nineteenth Ward. leaved out to-dsy that tbe protest against the appointment ot Mr. Nathan to the Coiieotorship ot internal Revenue receully filed with ireaident Harrison by Major Edward H. Hobbs, ot tiie Twenty-fourth Ward, Sheriff Rhineharva counsel, contains too misstatements of fact, which, in the iuterestoi fait play, ought to be corrected. They are said to bo os follows.

First, That a majority of (he members of the Executive Committee ot the Republican General committee of Kinps County signed the appitca-ttou of Ur. Ernst Nalban for the Collectorsuip of Interual Revenue in the First District in bad laith. tsecond, That eighty percent, of lb members of tbe Executive Committee are now opposed to Mr. Nathans appointment. Tne first of these statements.

If they have beeu made as reported, contaius a very serious reflection upou the majority of the members of tbe Executive Committee end it grimus that the active opponents of Mr. Nathan were themselves guilty of gross hypocrlsx and double dealiug, and it is uot the truth that SO percent, of the members of the Executive Committee are opposed to Mr, Nalhau's appointment Of course the report that such statements had been made called forth a fierce rejoinder from the fneodsof Mr. Nathan to-day. They chatteuge any of bis opponents to say that any one of the following members of the Executive Committee acted in bad faith in giving his indorsement originally to the candidature of Mr. Nathan for the Coiieotorship of Internal Reveuue, or has withdrawn his iudorsemeut of Mr.

Nathan oris opposed to Mr. Kathsuis appointment to-day: Theodore B. Willis and rrauktlu Woodruff, of the First Ward; Jere Fuld, of tbe Second, Edward B. Porter, of the Third, Michael J. Daily, of the Fourth; Denis M.

Hurley, of the Sixth; Charles H. Cotton, of the Seveutb; Jacob J. bchiusser, of tbe Eleventh; James Johnston, of the Twelfth; William H. Leay craft, of the Thirteenth; Samuel T. Maddox, Of the Fourteenth; i homos Hobby, of the Filteenth Louis K.

Nicot, of the Sixteenth Francis F. llllams, of the Eighteenth William J. Taylor, of the Nineteenth George Neff, of the Txveutteib George Gtecn, of the Twenty-second Daulel Northup, of the Twenty-third Gustav Jabn, of Fiatbush Charles C. Overton, Gravesend, and J. Lott Nostrand, of New Utercht.

It Is known tothe writer personally that an effort was made to get some of the twenty-one gentlemen to withdraw their signatures from Mr. Nathan's application, but that it fatied. A fair diagnosis of the Executive Committee shows that tbe following geutlemen are really the active opponents of Mr. Natban for the Ooileriorehip of Internal Reveuue James W. Birkett, of the Fourth Ward; William J.

Buttling, of the Filth; Robert W. Fielding, of the Eighth. Elisha T. Everett, of the Ninth, George Kenueth, of the Teuth; William H. Williams, of the beventeenlh; Jonathan W.

Moore, Jr of tbe Twenty first; Edward H. Hobbs, of the Twenty-fourth; Robert bbarkey, of the Twenty-fifth; Israel F. Fischer, of the Twenty-sixth, and John Maubews, of Fiaiiands, twelve in ail out of a total of thirty-three members. It Is reported that siuce Mr. Fielding, tbe member of the Executive Committee from tbe Eighth Ward, found that some of his associates were williug to eee Mr.

Nathan made United States Marshal for tbe Eastern Districtof New York, tne plaoe which he (Mr. Fleldiug) is after, if only to keep Nathaoz out of the Interual Revenue Department, be has changed bis mind in regard to the situation stud to now for Mr. Nathan for the Coliectorsbip of luternal Revenue. The fact that Assemblyman Joseph Aspi-nall, of the Eleventh District, to entirely wilting that Mr. Nathan shall be appointed United States Marshal for this district shows conclusively that, in bis optnioa, Mr.

Na thau to not personally unfitted to be Collector of Internal Revenue, and tbat tbe opposition to him is based upon considerations which have little weight outside the narrow clroic of professional politicians. Tne bugbear of Nathan's opponents really appears to be that if he should be appointed Collector of Internal Revenue he would use tne patronage of tbe bureau to help his friends and get even with his opponent but the patronage ot the place is very small, alter ail. and Republican nominating conventions are now, fortunately, large enough numerically to take care of themselves. Few people of oommon sense will be frightened by this bogy. On the other hind, Mr.

Natnao's candidature has beeo indorsed as worthy by such leading Republicans of Ktugs County as Gen. Jourdan, ex Justice Nseber, Henry Batiermann. County Clerk William J. Kaiser, Henry Bristow, Silas B. Duicber, tbe Hon.

President Plympton, of the Subway Com-mlsdon, visited the Mayor to day and had a long talk with hioi about the work of the commission.

Mr. Plympton was particularly anxious that some arrangement should be made to string the wires of the Fire Department under the Kings County Ktcvnted Rallwat structure on Fulton street from the ferry to DcKalb avenue In order to get rid of the uusigbtty poles. The wiies are at preseut under the elevated superstructure on Fulton street from above DeKalb to Bedford avenue. The Mayor told him be would see what could be doue In the matter. Prof Ply mpt on told Mr.

In which they were taking a sail, 'i he achl capsized and the whole partv were thrown into the angry waters, their screams for help were plAtnly heard od shore, but in tho face of lie storm which was then raging it required superhuman courage to attempt llieir rcs ue. None of the young men could swim and they clung desperatelv to the bottom of the boat; they were fast lielng sweot off shore and their cries becoming fainter, when one daring young Brewster looker, secured a boat and with rare courago went lo their rescue, while many with fast beating hearts watched his haml to hand light with tho elements. After a long struggle he reached the unfortunates just ai their strength was leaving them, and took them into his boat and brought them safely lo shore.

These badly lightened youngsters who were rescued, to the great peril of ihtdr rescuer, were Joseph McCann, Arthur Kinner and Moutrose Daytou.

A strong wind, at times reachiug a high velocity, baa prevailed for tbe pan two days and rain has fallen in torreuta.

The water was rough throughout the night and it Is thought that the storm was terrific at sea. Water Mills and other villages along the southeast shore of the island suffered from the storm. Deep gullies were washed in many of the roads, pig pens were flooded aud sheds were washed away. The lightning, however, was not as severe as on other occasions, and, so far as is kuowu, no bulldinga were struck. Tbe storm still prevails, but the old weather prophets along tbe shore say the worst is over.
