those who donbt their power inquire Into the effoct tbst manufacturing interests have la qhaping the polloy of New section frhoee inflaence over the whole ftountry con overestimated. Lot them reflect bvef the inflaence of ft few mining and railr -''am in tha nnlinv Pennsylvania, one of the most powerful of the jglsterhood of Stai52. Or think of the notorious and acknowledged rulo of the Camden Amboy Railroad in a neighboring State. Ask the inhabitants of CenIllinois, one of the richest sections of the fertile West, what powor the llinois Central wields over the through rhioh it runs, on how many farms it holds lortgagos, how many of its candidates? for Iheae companies are all well represented in both State and national legislative bodies? have boon defeated of late years. The Union Telegraph Company extends power and exeroisos political influence, not bnly in a few States, but throughout the whole Country, We doubt whether there are a dozen Senators or members of Congress who do not hold passes from that Company entitling them to use its lines free of charge.

I Let that mythical person, the Impartial observer, reflect on all this, and then let him determine the power which so-called servants of the public acquired lu our midst. As to their Influence here, let all ths scandal, the bitter law suits which have oocupiod the attention of the courts and of tho public, answer. not a so-called "railroad ring" exist in every Legislature Has it not bocoms part of 'the political creed of many sections of the country to resist further concessions of national territory to swell the millions of rich whioh opulent corporations have wrung the national domain What further (proof of their power can be wanting, when two (railroads not only control but absolutely own territory exceeding in extent many a European owned by individuals, but built with public money, obtained as a loan aud secured by mortgages ou lands which were a gift Aud with these many instances of power is 'anything to be called impossible for a combination of these companies to do Can we not imagine a slate of things in whioh a combination of circumstances might throw the power of nomination for tho high office of President into the hands of a few corporations Let us suppose that the great railroad lines of this State aro consolidated, and that the clashing interests that now prevent their absorption of the Western linos are harmonized. Let us suppose this, and, keeping in mind the power of a short trunk lino in New Jersey, imagine the possible power of tho many millions whiob such a combination as we have hinted at would possess. Our chances of controlling this rests in the veto powor of the President and in the existonce of a powerful minority in Congress.

It is to a President as yet untrammelled by these complications, and to all earnest, far-seeing men in our uoxt national legislature, that we look for a remedy to the evils which may arise from the great power of incorporated interests. To them look for an enlightened and comprehensive system which shall determine the power of corporate capital, and which, while leaving the widest possible Sold open to enterprise, at tho same time, firmly and effectually control auy abuse of an agency so powerful and at times so unscrupulous in its operations. T'io of tho SInvo Trndlnx Wanderer. We published yesterday a very Interesting despatch from Washington relative to the Africans of the slaver Wanderer. It was intended that these poor creatures should be lauded at Cuba; but a United States war vessel cruising off that island overhauled and oaptured the Wanderer, finding the condition of its human cargo such as to render it necessary to make for the nearest of Savannah.

Before President Buchanan's instructions that it should bo brought into some Northern port could be complied with a lawless gang boarded the slaver by night and Lurried the Africans off towards the Gulf, distributing them ou plantations in the interior of the country. This created great excitement throughout tho United States in 1859, but tho search which was instituted for the kidnapped victims proved unavailing, and subsequently, during the excitements of our civil war, they were entirely lost sight of. Two years ago, however, the Rev. Mr. Phillips, a missionary of the Southern Baptist Convention, who had just returned from Yoruba, in Central Africa, was addressing a congregation of colored in Mobile, and took occasion to repeat the Lord's Prayer in the Yoruba language.

A group of negroes in tue back part of the house broke out Into shouts of delight, which the preacher mistook as indications of religious fervor until, at the end of his discourse, thoy came thronging around him and spoke to him iu their African tongue. They told him that they were part of the company carried off from the Wanderer, and described their being ambushed and seized while on a trading tour to some towns west of Abeckuta, by Dahomey slave hunters, who carried thorn to the coast, near Porto Novo, and sold them to the traders on board the Wanderer. It seems that since they wero stolen again at Savannah and scattered in the country several of them had gradually come together and had settled in Mobile, forming a little community by themselves. They have become Christians, and are represented to be thrifty and enterprising, and, moreover, extremely anxious to be sent back to their uative land. The administration at Washington appears to be puzzled as to what to do with them, now that their emancipation is one of the results of the war.

But to our mind the case is perfectly clear, imsmuch as the stipulations of the treaty between the nations engaged in the suppression of the slave trade expressly required, if we are not mistaken, that recaptured Africans should be restored to their homes. The matter of lima doss not affect the case at all, aud the treaty stipulations are still in full force. It is true, however, that being now free, and haviug been here long enough to know whether they wish to remain or thoy cannot be compelled to return to Africa. Tub Commandrb of Montmbdy, one of the French fortresses situated on the Belgian frontier, is said to threaten to blow up the nlace rather than surrender. If he made the threat ho must either be an empty braggart or a maniac.

Very rarely, If ever, there any heroism in this kiad of self-sacrifioe, and whoa It is made Insanity and not heroism is the cause. If any important military results could follow blowing up It would be an and even laudable aot? but as of no tajortoooo nktKW is no sense in the threat, if it ever wnS mtide. The story, however, is too much of the dieia-the-last-ditch order to be believed. Tint Rbpobted Unsuccessful Sortik from Belfort reminds us that that fortress is tho last stronghold remaining in possession of tho Frenoh situated in that part of France originally belonging to Germany. It is not likely that Belfort will be captured easily, as the French had ample timo to provision and garrison the place before the investment.

Tho fortifications are all of modern construction, well armed and naturally strong. Except by tho slow process of starvation or gradual approaches Belfort cannot be taken. Of course a voluntary surrender would be a different thing, but that is scarcely probable. Personal Intelligence. General E.

DESPERATE cmaoon E'iCOlTrER, Pistols nnd Knives nnd lit cent Ward Kmult of an Old Minder. Warden Brennart, of Bellevuc Hospital, sent word to the Coroner's office yesterday morning that Edward limes, a blacksmith, iwenty-two years of ago, had been admitted to that Institution, at two o'clock A. from the Eighteenth precinct, it was further suited that the police had found lliues in Sixteenth street, between First avenue and avenue where, It is alleged, lie had been shot by Win. McNevins, who was taken in charge by an officer. Hines was represented by Warden orennan to be in a very dangerous conditiou.

CINCINNATI JESUITS IN DANGER. Attempt to Mussacre the Kev. of Mt. Xavier College, Clurinnatl. (From the Cincinnati Inquirer, Nov.

20.J Yesterday aiternoou, at about half-past four o'clock, one of tue professors of bt. Xavier Col! lege, corner or Seventh and Bycauioie streets, I entered the splendid portal of that Institution, a medium sized, dark coir.plcxlouod man slipped iu with Dim, and strode at once across the vestibule into the hallway beyond. Here he Uourlshed a small hatchet, aud demanded In linn, commanding toue thai every door bo opened, to him to kill the priests. As usual at all times, the college I was ver.v still, and the request, so modest in Itself, echoed tlironguuut the corridor. It was partially complied with at once, for several doors open.d and several priests appeared, unarmed and ready for the contemplated slaughter.

The latter saw at once itlat they hud la deal with a fanatic or luuatlc, aud not with a drunkard, for the man's air was "calm, though deteriniut-d u.t to lu uuoiticr lustaut he was scued and disarmed by Fattier lavwler. Father O'Neal, tlio rector und Father Chambers, assisted by one of the brothers. Having taken the hatchet away the priests released the man, who thereupon instantly crew two ugly looking butcher knives, one with cuch hand, saying he hud something else leit. His arms above tne elbows were again piuione.l from behind, and. thrown upon back, a struggle lor the weapons took place, (luring which several of (he Jesuits were slightly wounded.

Father O'Neal received a deep ile-h wound the left arm, between the wrist und e.liow. It was an ugly cut, and bled freely, but when we saw (lie reverend gentleman last nlgut ho seemed to consider it mere Fuincr Onuuibers Had a linger badly Cut. brother Foley was wounded near the wrist; brother Moiialiun hud his ca cut over the loit side of lbs chest, and a small lad who attended the door was slightly scratched over the left car.

We saw Hook, or Huch, last night In Ids cell, and were convinced that lie was Hollering from the Insanity or delirium that follows urink in some cases. He told Imlf a different si rics. At one moment he denied that he diuuk anything, and in the next brcaih "1 was siitiHtrucK lust summer, ami ever since tue day alter I drink everything looks yellow." lie stated that lie was a born Catholic und so was his wile, who, he said, was In Michigan. lie said (lu (Juiiuitn) mat lie was going home from his Kictard beresforil's, It struck hint he had a right "to kill it few of the priests, as there were plenty of them," and asked if we dhl noi agree with him. At another time ho naked, "Have 1 not a right to get rich!" uml being answered in the aillrmauvo, said, in Kugi.sh, "iiie.v have a box of gold in there which 1 wanted to get." He claimed next that he know not lung about tue priests and added, "i hey look my wife away." Subsequently he said, "The Jews aro first, and, if I am right, the embolics came next." lie claimed that lie cut nobody, but that "the.v cut themselves," und thut ho had told them (the priests) to let him free, and he would go.

Alt he wanted now was "a chance" and he would go to his work like a man, and if he ever drank another drop he wanted to bo shot dead. Fucii was tue rambling nature of the in English, now in cleany convinced us that the icliow wits a cnnd.Uute lor "bongvlew."

Times, Nov. On Monday night the Sheriff of Cattaraugus county lodged in the jail in this village a man who hus had a turd lot. About a year ago, lu Little Valley, a man named burdick was met ou the street, aoout halfpast three o'clock In the morning, by two colored men, who, we think, were in wagon.

For Mils careless use of the pistol ho was indicted for murdor In the first degree, ncd, convicted, and sentenced to death.

Washington, Nov. 27, 1870. Services were held as usual this morning in tnc Metropolitan Methodist church, where there was a good representation ot the wealthy and fashionable denizens of the capital. Dr. Newuiau was more than ordinarily eloquent and earnest.

The subject of his smion was practical Christianity. Ills text was taken front Matthew vll. every one that saith unto Me Lord, Lord, shall cuter into the kingdom of Lleuvcn, but he tnat doetli the will of My Futher which Is In lleaven." It was, he said, consistent with the doctrines of reason and the teach lugs of revelation that (lod should have a will touching Ills children. It was also consistent with cacti that that will should he revealed iu the simplest manner possible, and tuat to do the will of the Crea'or should be man's and highest duty. Christ, himself, was mindful of this in each event of life, I come to do Thy will, God." Nothing Is so uaturul, so beautiful, so raflonul as harmony between the human and dlvtno will.

Christianity consisted of two and practice, or believing and doing, accepting and bemg. The subject suggested practical Christianity. In considering it Dr. Newman enlarged uponthelal.se notions winch men hold and the devices to which they resort to excuse themselves from ilia DUTIES OK A CHRISTIAN 1,1 KK. He showed that Jesus Christ Incurred the displeasure oi tho age in which He lived by pointing out, in simple and direct words, the lalsu ideas and life of the people.

After relcnng to the opinions entertained by the Pharisees and Sadducees in the time or Christ, the lalse notions of the present day were taken Into consideration, hirst, it was a tulso notion that Christianity Is a Hyatcm of sublime abstraction, to be comprehended only by philosophers. this must be true to a certain extent, but these abstract truths acre taught us iu the must bcauiilul parabtca. second, tt was false to suppose that Christianity consists In church ceremonials, although the patriarch of Alexandria, who recited prayers every tifieen minutes during the twenty-four hours, must have so considered it. Huch was the belief of the Pharisee, who placed Ills dependence oil ceremonials rather than on the vital principles of Christianity embodied in overy-day hie. It was a lalso not on that religion requires our thoughts to be always llxcd on God, to the exclusion of all other thoughts.

The experience of a schoolboy, over conscious of the coming holiday while learning tils lessons, was a refutation oi this Idea. Indeed, it was a law of our mental nature that white we were engaged In some important subject Irrelcvaut thoughts might ho passing through lUo mind. All that reuglon required was mat all other thoughts should be kept in control. Wlillc the Christian is performing secular duties thoughts of God and ncaven were ever before liliu, sending their divlDe radiance over Ins spirit. Thar time spent In secular pursuits Is a loss to religion was another false notion.

Tills was one of the errors of the day and an error that, was working ruin to many minds and kaoplng many out of the church. Among tho dovlcca to which men resorted to avoid the necessity of exercising piety in every day liie might be mentioned, reining irom the world to religious lastitutiens. 'Dins arose monkery. Hut what a lamentable piclure to sec great muscular monk spending his ilia counting boadsl Car bolter for him to be Jostled about among men. (Solitary places of religious retirement are the very places lor the devil to llnd a man.

others handed ovor religion to the keeping or their wives, sisters and mothers. Tuts was paying a very lilgh compliment to woman, but at the last day every man must stand or fall to himself. Another exnedlent was dividing hings up Into secular ami sacrcd. Hut men lorgot that Christianity embraces all limes, all places and all relations. When the angel was preparing the meal for Elijah lie was performing a work as Worthy as any heavenly service.

When Jesus took our uaturo lie sauctlhed all the relations whicu grow out of that mature, whether pertaining to uian or to God. THE URKAT WANT OK TIIE AflK was religion Iu common things, iu society, the family, in business lite. Men might be evui so devoted Iu church, and yet seem to furgvt those higher obligations on 'change. The command Is, "He diligent In business;" but there is lyooiher law? "Do unto others as you would have others do to you." Christianity is a failure in business life, not becotise Its genius Is not adapted a It, but becauso nicti fail to carry lis divine principles tuto every day Hfo. There was no objection, to men dealing In stocks If they lawfully.

It was a man's business consider tho moral and financial efleets of fortune making iu stock dealing that he 'aid not roducc honest men aud poor widows to, poverty. God required that while tucy dealt Justly they should at the suiuu time love mercy. Hut is one branch of society into which religion 'add not yet great corpoiatlous, with ilielr grasping hands.

He had formed to himself not lone of righteousness in accordance with the provailing teachings among tho Jews, and it became to him a more material than a spiritual mystery, an his subsequent Inquiry cleuriy shows.

How, then, can wo expect, without spiritual regeneration, to bo made acceptable In Ilia If man, in his slnfui condition, were translated into holy presence, it would be eternal misery to nun. The blemish upon soul would eternally magnified iu the presence ot God; association wlih the angels would be cut oil; hence the importance of ilits spiritual birth. Main obm to the Word of God in tnla sense, It scents a hard saying to tUe worldly minded.

The children ol Adam forget that the child or a slave la a slave and tho child of a auiner a sluuer. "The heart Is deceitful above all thlnics ana desperately wicked." So sounds the prophecy of all those who lived before the time oi our Lord una If the heart bs desperately wicked who shall change It? Our exterior may be lair to the world we may even deceive ourselves lu our notions of seir-nglitcousiioss, but we cannot deceive God: neither can we bo deceived lu tho word of Uod.
