[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TEE NBW3.]
COLUMBIA, January 17.
A new plan for the adjustment of the diffi?
culties connected with the ? tate debt is to be
tried. Mr. Wesley, of New York, In behalf of
the Union Trust Company, and Colonel L. D.
Childs, the president of the Carolina National
Sank of Columbia, had a long Interview yes?
terday with Governor Scott, and submitted
the iollowiDg propositions, with a view to the
arrangement of the debt, and the accept?
ance of the financial agency of the State
by the Union Trust Company: To compound
the e Dt ire debt of South Carolina, by calling In
-all the existing bonds of whatever elsa?, and
issuing la ex?haoge for them new bonds, at
the rate of fifty cern s on the dollar; the Union
Trust Company to guarantee the fulfilment of
tb4 contract; the same company to advance*!
the money necessary to redeem the bonds now
hypothecated, and to charge only legal Inter?
est therefor; to settle the Indebtedness of the
State to Financial Agent Elmpton, and to ad?
vance the money for the payment of the Janu
.ary Interest. Governor Scott gave his assent
to the scheme, and Mr. Wesley returned this
morning to New York, to drait the necessary
legislation and perfect the details of the ar?
rangement.
At a caucus of the Charleston delegation In

THE PROCEEDINGS OF TUESDAY.
The Angry Discussion ot the Governor's
Special Message In the House.
[FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.]
COLUMBIA, S. C., January 16.
At the assembling ol the House this morn- ?
lng the floor was accorded to Byas, who enter?
tained the audience for two hours with his
peculiar oratory. Several attempts were made
to dam the expected stream of eloquence, but
without BU cc ess. Hurley moved to suspend i
the unfinished business (irte consideration of |
the Governor's case, on which Byas had the
floor) until after the call of counties. Lee
moved to lay this motion on the table. Hunter
moved to lay the whole matter on the table,
and a variety of other motions were made,
bot all to no effect, and at 12.16 the little mao
from Orangeburg started off. He began by
promising to utterly demolish and annihilate
Bowen, whose statements of yesterday he de?
clared were infamous, abominable, and, as
he put lt, "falsies in anus, falsies iii totus," and
proceeded with a loose, disconnected tirade
against nearly everybody he could think of
except the Governor. He lashed himself up to
a pitch of rage that was terrible to Bee, and
he alternately danced and shouted, expostu?
lated, entreated, defied and d-nounced till be
was almost white. The scene In the House
-during the delivery of this remarkable speech
was one ol the m< st characteristic ol the ses?
sion. The floor and galleries ol the gorgeous?
ly-appointed chamber were crowded with a I
heterogeneous mass ol humanity, whereof
the whites were yawning, listless, Impatient f
and bored, and the colored people, male and
female, were swayed and fascinated by that
curious fervor peculiar to their race, which ls
only seen to perfection lo their camp-meet?
ings and religious observances. Hardly a pre -
, tenoe ot order was maintained by the lndulg
I em speaker, and the floor was covered- with
! the lobbyists, spectators and the "slimy min?
ions" of the Governor, as Whipper delights to
call them, while the members were gathered
In^zroups, discussing "goobers" and gossip,
or lounging back io their arm-chairs with their
Sonderons cowhides restiog on their hundred
ollar desks, and staring the sleepier spiders lo
the lofty celling out of countenance. The at-,
mot ./here wSMtpt and stifling wltb the beat of |
the four great stoves mingling with the exha?
lations ol the crowded audience, the fumes of
their last night's pleasure, and the weight of |
Invective and vituperation that loaded the air,
while the pure sim light struggled lo pencils
through the darn ick lambrequins and tried to
redeem the picture, but only rendered visible
Btrata of dancing dust and curling clouds j
of incense trom the surreptitious smokers.
As to the speech Itself no one appeared to take
much notice of it-the reporters least of all.
It was a rehash of the arguments in the vari?
ous messages of the Governor, diluted and
distorted, to be sure, but making up for thal j
lo length and vehemence. The member made
some points, however, which must have been
orlgioal, and of these the lollowing may be
taken as an average sample : He said that
the committee claimed the debt to be $22,540,
000, but that they meant lt amounted to
that Bum io paper money and not In gold.
If they reduced that sum In paper to Its
value In gold it would be found to
be much lesB. That was the way the debt
ought to be stated, and then it wouldn't sound
so big and frighten people. It took some fif?
teen minutes, sod muct* unnecessary abuse ot
the English language son ?he opposition mem?
bers, to elucidate this point, and this was the
way that the two dreary hours were beguiled.
The thing had an end at last, however, and I
Byas gave way to-Hurley, who "r?selo re
mark, and his language was plain," that the
Orangeman didn't quite know what be wes
talking about. He said he would make allow?
ances, however, for the member's excited con?
dition and for the decoction In the near y
empty tumbler beiore him. He (Hurley) was
strictly temperate in his habits and didn't get
excited in that way, and, therefore, he
wouldn't press the point. This brought Byas
up agalo and led to a running flie of mutual
abuse, uotll it was stopped by Whipper, who
took the floor for a lormal reply to the Utile
mao from Orangeburg.
General Whipper made an extended speech,
with some strong points, against the Governor
and his henchmen. He said they had attempt?
ed to shield themselves by impeaching the
character o? their accusers. AB far, however,
as be was concerned, if he had swindled the
treasury, lt could only have been by collusion
.with the Governor and treasurer, and lt 111 be?
came them, therefore, to attempt to accuse
him. .He was still In favor of the Impeach?
ment of the Governor, and he Bald that some
members seemed to think lt was necessary to
go all through the evldeoce and prove him
guilty of the crimes alleged before they could
impeach bim, but he reminded them that they
were not a petit Jury-they were Dot the
Judges io the case-they were, rather, like a
grand Jury, aod it th^y were shown that there
was probable cause for believing the Gover?
nor guilty of hlith crimes and mi&de
'meanors, they should Impeach bim. He
then proceeded with some exposures of the
efforts of the Governor to avert his Impend?
ing trouble?. He openly charged him with
bribing members ot the House to secure theil
votes against Impeachment, and charged that
Congressman R. B. Elliott had been hired tc
come here and lobby to the same end, anc
had been paid $6000 tor his services. He men
Honed also T. J. Mackey as an lndustnoui
worker for the Governor. He didn'nt knov
just how much he had been paid, but Macke;
wasn't a mao to work for nothing.-and he
.doubtless, had received a haodsome sum
Pending the further remarks of the member
? from Beaufort the House, at five o'clock, ad?
journed till noon to-morrow, when Whipper
will resume the floor aud continue his argu?
ment. ^ICKET.

A caucus of members of the General Assem?
bly was held last night in the hall of the
House of Representatives for the purpose of |
nominating circuit judges, preparatory to (he
election which takes place to-morrow. Sena?
tor Maxwell called the caucus to order, and
nominated S. J. Lee, of Edgefleld, chairman,
who was elected. Senator Corbin introduced
a repolin lon that the members from such judi?
cial circuits as had not already agreed upon
a candidate retire (or twenty minutes for con?
sultation, and a recess was taken. At the ex?
piration of that time, the caucus proceeded to
business, the representatives from eacb cir?

lar individual.
In the First Circuit, Judge Graham, the pre?

position. In the Second Circuit the eighteen
representatives were equally divided between
W. F. Colcock, of Beaulort, J. J. Maher, of |

Statt menti.
[FROH otra OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
. FLORENCE, January 15.
For the first time in many months our town
has been visited with a fire, and I think for
the first lime in five years with an incendiary
fire. Last night the store on Front street,
belonging to C?ptala Alexander McKenzie,
and occupied by Mr. P. Buchheit. was fired lo
several places by some one th.is far unknown,
and was enveloped in a glaring blaze before
the alarm was given. The adjoining new and
handsome store of Messrs. F. S. Schouboe &
Co. caught, and was destroyed also. Most of |
their valuable slock was saved from the fire,
though somewhat damaged. It soon became
evident that the adjoining drug store of Dr.
U. G. Roumillat-the building being the prop?
erty of John W. Cox, a colored carpen
penter-was in Imminent danger, and the
most strenuous efforts were put forth to pre?
vent its catching. Unfortunately t he hose of the
only engine In our town could not be used,
and water bad to be carried in buckets by
hand and thrown upon the roof and walls
constantly. The building became so heated as
to cause the pitch from the lumber to run
down the walls. Had it caught all the other
buildings *on that square would almost'inevi?
tably have been consumed, wita- the large
freight depot ot the three railroads concen- j
trat i ng here, and probably many loaded fr*-Ight
cars. This terrible and destructive conflagra?
tion was arrested through the almost super?
natural exposure and exertions of Captain
Alex. M. Corrie, master carpenter of the
Northeastern Railroad; Edward Harvey, engi?
neer on the same road; Thomas Talbert, B.
Stratton, James Rhodes, and a few others,
who braved dangers and endured hardships
that thrilled every spectator wit h admiration
and at the same time with painful solicitude.
Many colored men deserve great commenda?
tion for their exertions.
The flames being arrested, a scene of con?
fusion and disorder arose, threatening at one
time a collision between the white ana colored
people present. Through the exertions of
the officers of the town, quiet was restored.
Subsequently, a colored man was shot, and
seriously, If not fatally, wounded. Mr. G.
McD. StolI, (he agent of the Andes, which
held nearly all the risks on the property de?
stroyed, was present, and using every exer?
tion to arrest the spread ot the flames, and
save the property covered by the policies of |
bis company. He was charged with firing
the pistol which inflicted the wound on Hamil?
ton, the colored man, and arrested. This
created a good deal of excitement. There are
conflicting rumors as to the Bhooiing. One
that ll was accidental; one that Hamilton was
suspected ot Interfering with goods removed
from one of the stores, and one that lhere is
no proof that Mr. Stoll fired the pistol. I
learn that Mr. Stoll has given bail for his ap?
pearance at court, where, of course, the facts
of the ease will be developed.
The loss from the fire was ia all about or
nearly ten thousand dollars, and mostly cov-1
ered by insurance. It is hoped this unfor?
tunate and painful occurrence may move the
young men to reorganize the fire company,
and put their engine and hose in available re?
pair. _ PRKSSLET.

WASHINGTON, January 13.
Nothing has lately led to eo much comment
In diplomatic circles as Prince GortscbakelTs
letter to Minister Curt?a relative to the treat?
ment of Minister Catacazy by the United
States Government. The document is sup?
posed to have the sanction of the Czar, and
foreshadows that Mr. Catacazy ls to be sus?
tained by bis OWD government. The letter is
regarded by high officers as a direct and open
insult to the F resident and secretary of State,
and as likely to lead to serious result?. The
country need not be surprised If Mr. Cuttin,
our minister to Russia, Is Immediately ordered
to demand his passports, and the Russian
charge d'affaires here supplied with his, in
order that he may take his departure from the
United State.1). This would break off all diplo?
matic intercourse with Russia; but sucha step
ls said to have been under contemplation al?
ready by our authorities.
GortschakonT's Note.
ST. PETERSBURG, January ll.
The note of the imperial chancellor, Prince
Gortschakoff, io Mr. Curtin, the United Staten
minister at St. Petersburg, with regard to M.
Catacazy, has been published in (he Messager
Official, (newspaper) which is an unusual
course for the Russian Government, and has
been adopted in order to express resentment
at the treatment and peremptory dismissal ol
M. Catacazy by President Grant und Secretary
Fish. The following is a correct translation of
the note:
"M. Constantine Catacazy, envoy extraordi?
nary and minister plenipotentiary to the Uni?
ted States, has been ordered to come back to
Russia as soon as bis Imperial highness, the
Grand b?ke Alexis, had taken his departure
from the United States.
"M. Catacazy was at the same time Informed
that he will not return to the post of Washing?
ton, but that bis recall will be final, in com?
pliance with the request of the United States
Government.
"The Government of his Imperial Majesty
regrets that the painful affair did not termi?
nate with this, as it was reasonably to be ex?
pected.
'.The acquiescence by the Imperial Govern?
ment of Russia la the request of Secretary
Fish, ought then, by the rule of courtesy be
tween two friendly oat lons, to have been con?
sidered as a final settlement of the question.
"In the subsequent correspondence on the
part of Secretary Fish, there was. however,
neither sufficient attention nor proper respect
shown to a Russian ambassador performing
duties Euch as he had a right to expect from
the government at which he was accredited.
"The letter of Secretary Fish presents seri?
ous though vague complaints against M.
Catacazy, and thus invites the Imperial Cabi?
net to Judge the conduct ot lu representa?
tive.
"Ia the opinion of the government of his
majesty, the Emperor, M. Catacazy. has satis?
factorily refut?d many of these complaints; on
the others, th ? Imperial Cabinet will deliver
Its Judgment when M. Catacazy has had lull
liberty to present his case.
"The Imperial chancellor hopes that justice
ls sufficiently understood la the United States
not to expect lt before."
An Bngllsh-Orroana View of the Cata?
cazy Trouble.
[From the rall Mall Gazette.]
Some inlereiitlng particulars as to the recall
of M. Catacazy from the post of Russian am?
bassador at Washington are given by the
Hamburg Cot respondent. "M. Catacazy,"
says the writer, "has long been oue of Prluce
Gortschakoff's favorites, but he ls even lesa
koowa.to RiiBSlaa society and the Russian
public than most of the foreign diplomatic
agents employed by Russia, as he is by birth a
Greek, and, as such, has no connections lo the
country. It is Enid that Prince Gortschakoff
regards him as an adept in Eastern affairs,
and he has always shown special eagerness in
looking after the 'orthodox' Interests of Rus?
sia lo the Bosphorus. It is this zeal which hos
led the ns; ute Greek to .abandon his usual pru?
dence-and burn bis fingers at Washington.
When at the beginning of the year the Black
Sea affair was being considered by the London
Conference, considerable anxiety prevailed
among Russlao diplomatists. They feared
that in consequence of the Improvement
which was just then ; occurring In the
relai lons belweeo the Washington Cabi?
net and the Engllgh Government, Lord
Granville's resistance to the proposal for giv?
ing up the neutrality of the Black bea might
become stronger, and Russia's position In Loo
don, which WEIS based on her friendship with
America, grow more difficult. The appoint?
ment of a oew American ambassador lo Lon?
don, which was BO propitious for the Alabama
affair, was about to take place, and M. Cataca?
zy was Instructed to do his utmost to prevent
the acceptance of the British proposals for aa
arrangement, and to obtain the appointment
of an ambassador who would not be regarded
with favor In London." *
"M. Catacazy," continues the Correspond?
ent, "was over-zealous lo carrying ont these
Instructions; he negotiated with the rival par?
ties In America, and finally entered Into an In?
trigue against President Grant and Mr. Fish,
with the view of compelling them by party
pressure to adopt the Russian programme lo
the Alabama question." When the President
discovered this, he threw the whole responsi?
bility ot the Intrigue OD M. Catacazy, the
American relations with the Russian Govern?
ment remaining on the same friendly footing
as before. Prince Gortschakoff strove hard to
protect his favorite, but in vain, and at length
the President behaved to M. Catacazy willi
such "Yankee sunsg?ne," that the latter's posi?
tion became untenable.
Some Results of the Catacazy Quarrel
Scene at a Diplomatic Dinner at Co.
penhogen - The Emperor of Russia
Irritated at the Reception of the
Grand Duke Alexis by President
Grant.
[Correspondence of the New York Tribune.]
BERLIN, December 26.
It Is Faid that the government herc ha- re?
ceived a circular from Prince Gortschakoff on
some Incidents growing out of the recall of M.
Catacazy lrom washington. This circular was
rendered oecessary by the conduct of Mr.
Kramer, the American minister at Copen?
hagen. It seems that, at a dinner patty at
the house of the German minster ai Copen?
hagen, where all Hie resident diplomats wore
preseut. Mr. Kramer said he had received a
letter from his government, containing an ex?
planation of the Catacazy affair, uod i li-ii he
would read lt lo them. The Russian minister
objected to this proceeding, as the place was
oot suitable, and us it was an affair which did
not coocero all the world. Mr. Kramer
said something about maintaining the
honor of his country, and rose with
the letter ia his hand. The Russian
minister then rose lo go, os he could not
lisien to it, when the host interposed, and said
that he could not allow the letter to be read
tn his house, as it would be an insult to his
colleagues. The American minister then sat
down again, but said he would call on every
person present the next day and read lt to
them separately. This he did, and they, of
course, reported lt io their governments. It
ls reported from 8t. Petersburg that the Rus?
slao Cabinet feels very much irritated over
this affair, as well as vexed at the prominence
given to the Catacazy affair In the President's
message; and lt i3 rumored that a decided
coolnt-83 is likely to spring up between Russia
and the Ucited States In consequence. It ls
known here that Prince Gortschakoff appoint?
ed M. Catacazy, who was at that time a favor?
ite of his, and that the Emperor tor some time
objected to confirm the appointment. It ls
thought that, possibly the Prince may have
fallen Into some dicfavor on account of the
disgrace which has fallon on the rah later.
A gentleman who has Just returned from St.
Petersburg says that trouble may come even
from the visit of the Grand Duke Alexis.
Everybody seems very well satisfied with UM
popular reception given to the Grand Duke tc
New York and the other great cities, which li
contrasted with the coolness of his receptior
by the Presldeot. It ls asserted that the Pres
idem did not return the call of the Grand
Duke, and offered bim no hospitality. Here,
and I believe also In Bussia, when a near
relative of a reigning sovereign arrives, ihe
Emperor goes in person to meet him at the
railway station, and subseqnently thev ex
chsnge formal visits. That the call of the
Grand Duke should not have been re?
turned is considered a great breach of
politeness In spite of the alleged rule that the
President never makes calls. Considering
the well-known hospitality of the American
people, and especially the way in which the
Grand Duke has been received and welcomed,
lt seems very absurd that they should ba taxed
with any falling on this score. Yet my In?
formant says that lt is the common talk of St.
Petersburg society that the President did not
ID vi te the Grand Duke to dinner, nor even
offer him a crust of bread. The Emperor is
said to feel the slight exceedingly, and unless
some reasonable explanation ls offered, he
will not allow the Grand Duke to return to
Washington. They say that the Empress, who
is very fond of her son, and who reads with
avidity all that ls said of him in the American
papers, when she heard of his reception In
Washington, grew pale, and said, "Why did
we ever let bim go to America !"
Thc Tribune on the Squabble.
[From the Kew York Tribune.]
It seems probable that our ten years' cor?
diality willi the Empire of Russia ls drawing
near Its clos?. The bitterness of our pique
against England and France has long* died
away, and the last relics of lt naturally faded
with the fall at Sedao of our worst enemy in
the French Government, and tbe satisfactory
arrangement at Washington of our causes of
discontent with England. The exaggerated
tenderness between us and Bussia was very
profliable to ber, and of little u?e to us except
so far as it caused anguish of mind to her rivals
In the European field. * * * * Prince
Gortschakoff seems to have determined thal
the rudeness and disconrtesy shall not be
all on one side, and bas addressed to Minister
Curtin and-following our example-has pub?
lished in the official gazette one of the most
rasping among all diplomatic notes which
have lately been exchanged among civilized
nations. He clearly does not Intend that our
State department shall cirry away the honors
of offensive language. He accuses our sec?
retary categorically of "a want of respect and
consideration" for the Russian minister;
speaks of bis "serious, though vague, com?
plaints," many of which Catacazyhas "satis?
factorily relined,'' and the rest, lt ls clearly in?
timated, he will refute when he returns, and
the note ends with the sarcastic expression ol
the chancellor's hope "that justice is sufficient?
ly understood In the United States not to ex?
pect lt before." A passage like this between
the two departments of Slate has a double sig?
nificance. It not only indicates ? decided
coolness in the relations of the respective na?
tions, but it also aggravates the very aliena?
tion lt announces. It ls not impossible that
the rift thus created may be widened by mu?
tual recriminations to the point of a tempora?
ry suspension of diplomatic relations. But it
ls not likely that any Important results can
flow (rom the disagreement, even if lt reaches
that extreme point. We are too far apart to
fight about Catacazv.

A LONDON FOG.
Extraordinary Phenomenon In the
Great City.
The London News, of December 25, says:
On Saturday the whole metropolis, with ils
suburbs for miles round. Was visited by one of
the densest fogs experienced for many years.
It lasted for more than half the day, and was
especially palpable and general throughout the
city. There has been nothing like it In that
part of the town since the morning of the
memorable 9th of November, 1870, when thc
civic pageaur, in the mayoralty of Slr Thomas
Dakin, started by torchlight from Guildhall on
Its way lo Westminister. The fog ol Saturday
seemed to set for the most part irum the south?
ern tide of the metropolis, though it was pret?
ty general all over. London Bridge was bare?
ly visible from the Cannon-street viaduct of
the London and Southeastern Railway; and
the river traffic,'especially below Bridge, was
suspended for some hours. On all the subur?
ban railways fog signals were largely used
from an early hour in the morning, and ex?
treme care had to be used boih IQ working
the station signals and in running the traine.
In the short run between Cannon-street and
Charing Cross the trains were repeatedly stop?
ped between stations, and detained lor many
minutes, from considerations of safety. At
noon it was as dark In the heart ot the city as
at midnight, with this aggravation, that the
public lamps were not lit. and ihe scene In the
spice in front of the Mansion House, with the
constant and angry altercations among contend?
ing drivers, consequent upou the stoppage of
the traffic, almost baffled description. It was
the same all along Fleet-street, from Temple bar
eastward, and in all the other main thor?
oughfares of the city. Toward one o'clock,
when tbe fog was most dense, and when
the prevailing cou'inion had become worse
confounded, an appeal was made to the proper
authority at Guldhall to have the public lamps
lighted for a lime, but the answer was that the
contractors were only bound by their agree?
ment to light them beiween sunrise and sunset.
There must have been great risk to life and
limb at some ot (he principal crossings. At
length the large private gas-lamps lu front ol
the Mansion House were lit, as those on the
so iithem side of the Bank o? England had been
for some lime before, and in that way Hie gen?
eral gluom and contusion were sensibly lessen?
ed. Most of Hie shopkeepers In the principal
si reel s also lighted their gas. Shortly au er
one o'clock the fog began to abate; the Bun,
which until then" bad only been visible at
times a^ large blood-red spot in tho sky, at
length shone ont, and the metropolis assumed
its accustomed appearance.

[EROM OtTR OWN CORRESPONDU NT. j
NEW TOBE, January 15.
Tbe friends of the late James Flak have per?
mitted some of the notorious suppressed cor?
respondence, about which there was so much
wrangle in the courts, to see the light. The
letters are those addressed to the woman
Mansfield, bnt lt ls evident that they were
carefully edited by the same judiolous friends
before they were given to the press. They ex?
hibit Fisk in the character of a son-hearted
millionaire in the clutches of a harpy. Nearly
every letter contains allusions to money In?
closed in answer to importunities, and lt is
plain to see, if all the material portion of the
correspondence ls given herewith, that all
along the woman was simply bleeding the in?
fatuated man, and that when, at last, he
showed a disposition to suspend payment she
abandoned him for stokes.
In this connection, a curious letter from
Chaplain Flagg to the ?Vorld may be noticed.
Dr. Flagg ls the spiritual adviser of the Ninth
Reiilmeut, of which Jim Fisk was colonel. He
preached a eulogistic funeral sermon over the
remains at Braitleboro', and subjected himself
to some severe strictures from the World
writers. The chaplain, tn the course ot his
reply, which, of course, ls partly in defence of
Fisk, asserts that the colonel bad recently .
made up his mind to abandon his follies and
become a respectable citizen. He was trying
to disentangle himself from all the bad asso?
ciations which kept his name perpetually
linked with scandals and infamies. If this be
really true, and Fisk had tried to reform, what
might not the world have expected from his
tremendous energy and great brain ? for In
spite of his weak uesses.he was one of the.most
extraordinary men of the century. He was
not merely talented, he was a genius. A good
Jim Fisk seems almost aa impossibility; but
who can doubt, ll circumstances had made a
minister of the Gospel of him, that he could
have become as famous as Whitfield or
Spurgeon *
Stokes ls still of the opinion that when he
comes to be tried, and all the facts ia the case
are known to the world, that public sentiment
will justify bim for having killed Fisk. His
egotism muBt be unbounded. He bas not
given himself up to much remorse. Reporters
visiting his cell lu the Tombs describe lt as
they would a lady's boudoir. Pictures adorn
the walls, and a soft, rosy carpet gives addi?
tional warmth to the surroundings. The mur?
derer lolls at length on a lounge, newspaper
In hand, sipping his co fe, encased In gorgeous
dressing-gown and shod with embroidered
slippers. Io the afternoon, when calls ol
ceremony are to be made upon him, he
clothes himself In garments of faultless cut,
and with a ruse-bud lu his exquisitely molded
dress-coat, sits In state to receive his admir?
ers. Surely lt would be cruel to choke such a
being.
Most of the sensation ministers yesterday^
made the tragedy the text for their sermone.
Mr. Talmadge, of the Circus Church in Brook?
lyn, though known heretofore as an ardent
Republican, took occasion to "go back" on bis
party chief by declaring that "murder ls mur?
der wherever committed, even if a president
nfterwards appoints the murderer minister to
Spain." The sentiment was warmly applaud?
ed by the audience, which shows that Grant
will not receive many votes out of Mr. Tal
madge'a congregation.
Rev. Mr. Hepworth, whose recent departure
from rjaU^iu.n!?m-oi-L?ated gMBUCh taallne In
that denomination, preached to the public In
Steinway Hall yesterday morning. There was
an Immense audience present, and conspicu?
ous among t r.os'j gathered at the feet ol the
young convert (or pervert, as the case may
be,) were many persons hitherto prominent
worshippers at the Church of the Messiah.
Mr. Hepworth preached an energetic sermon
In favor of a new broad church, a church
within the limits of no present de?
nomination, but. In sympathy with all which
recognize the divinity of Christ. He admitted
thc necessity of separate organizations as a
matter of convenience, birt, as he pithily put
ll, "It is everlastingly wrong to have our
fences so high that we cannot get a word from
our neighbors." He wants a church for the
tens of thousands of people who go to no
church now, but who, knowing they ought to
go, leel reluctant to put themselves under ex?
isting church trammels. All who want to
hear Christ and morality, without dogma,
preached, are invited by Mr. Hepworth to Join
him in organizing a "regular methodical new
society, under a new name." In other words,
lt seems that Mr. Hepworth proposes to break
down sectarianism try establishing a new sect.
It IB enid that a Dumber of wealthy gentlemen
are Interested in Mr. Hepworlh's new depar?
ture, and are ready to build a big church for
bim If he will furnish the audiences.
For several days past there hus been some?
thing wrapped in an American flag sticking
np on a stone pedestal in front of the Times
office. It is understood to be a statue of Ben?
jamin Franklin. On next Wednesday the be?
nign face of the old printer will be unveiled
by Professor S. F. B. Morse ID presence of the
printers of New York. The statue ls a gift to
the typographical fraternity by Mr. Albert De
Groot, and ls an appropriate adornment to
Printing-house Square. The ceremonies at the
unveiling will be interesting, as speeches will
be made by Horace Greeley and Mr. Savage,
of the Typographical Society, and there will
be "music by the bund." In ihe evening there
will be a "Franklin Banquet" at Delmonlco'B
(tickets len dollars) at which all compositors
who can stand the tax will assist. Nra.
