SitueCT —“Deoradation or Modern Politic rs.” Text —Jeremiah xix, 6: ••Thi* place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the Valley of the Sou of Hill iiom but the Valley of Slaughter.” This was Gohenna on the suburb* of Jerusalem, u place where the car casses of beasts were cast, and the otial of the city. Perpetual fires were burning there to hinder it from brecdiug pestilence. It was a God torsaken spot, and lias, by religious writers and speakers of all ages, been uocAs a symbol of perdition. I shalffise it as a .symbol of modern politics. But instead of being in the suburbs, this Gehenna is now in the center of ail our towns and cities. Its carcasses rot on the steps of city balls, aiid its tires sias, and siummn, and through the long night of corruption, and those who have freen the bodies, the minds and souls of men going down under its pestiferous influence can see that like the Valley of Ilinnoro, spoken of in the text, it may well be Called the Valley of Slaughter. The present degradation of State and national polities is appalling. I speak without any allegiance to any political party. I have purposely kept myself aloof from any party or ganization thftt I might, its a religi ons teacher, be independent in moral discussion of each, or both of them, By tiiat Ido not mean that I &it on the fence in mattters of politics, for I have always voted iuee coming of age, except when, through changAjf residence or necessitated the time ef registration, I had no light to But 1 have never vot ed the entire ticket or either party A man belittles himself esti mation when he says he -Amaya votes the entire man bought awArelof apples and boasted that he ate them all, not on ly the good Tnies, but the worm-ea ten ami the gnarled and |the rotten.

So that we ought not to have been so very much sur prised at the "sinftessful assafsina- two of the following Chief Magistrates, In 1832 Hon. Mr Houston, of Texas, bludgeoned lion Mr. Stansbery, of Ohio, in Washing ton, for remarks, and the PreHent of the United States approvdß of the assaults by saying, ’’After a few more examples of the same kind Members of Con gress will, perhaps, learn to keep civil tongues in their heads.” She two political parties of thirty ymrs ago perished through corrupturn. The old Whig party went out of ex-® istence. It compounded until iniqui tv and was hung by until dead. The old went out of power, as member of the present party iu onreity said, in an editorial last Monday, because **it happenedjto the Demoaracy a$ to nil political or ganizations, that long continuance in ortk-e spread abuses for which no cure could be obtained, short of turning the party out of office.” It was the corruption of parties that killed them. But the last year, from October, 1871, to October, 1861, seems to me to have been the bftickest year of American poliflks. I give a few illus tracions: First, the Yorktown carou sal. On the 19th of October, 17S1, o\e British forces under Cornwallis surrendered to Washington, and the long agency of our Revolutionary fathers was ended. Last October the centennial was to be celebrated. The descendants of eminent foreign ers who had assisted ns in the achiev ing of American independence arriv ed as our guests, Appropriate cere monies were promised, and at the quaint village of lorktowu many people assembled. The Congress ot the United States had voted moneys for the proper observance. Many good people l )iescrv their < mi flag and the English flag and th* American flag. But all the flags of all the Nations there present could not cover up the shame of their de bauchery. Look at the wine bills, and the whisky bills and the cigar billa 1 and then look into the columns ef your daily -papers of las< Octo ber and read the story of that occa sion, gotten up by politicians, con troltd by politicians, ended by politi cians and everlastingly besmirched by politicians. 1 draw a second illustration from the Garfield funeral carousal, reach ing from Washington to Cleveland* While the whole nation was sick with sorrow after the worst disaster that ever befell any country, were public men who, at guzzled and swilled and staggered on the way to Cleveland, after thev got to Cleveland and on the way Lome from Cleyelaud. Bead the wine bills and the whisky bills of that occasion, which you and I helped to pay for, if we have paid any taxes. Cleveland, one of the most beautiful cities of all the earth, never had so much drunkenness and debauchery as the night before Uarueids burial, when the Mayors and Common Council and Congressmen of cities and States were there wailing for the obsequies. I call up HMOtne'r illustration from the last Legislature at Albany. Look at the yeas and nays and the dod giug of members on tie General Street iUijroad Bill, ad the C’onrict | Labor Bill, and the Railroad Com- I mission Bill, and the Elevator Gain Bill, and the Bill, and other bills, and eyes o widely opened yon can never get them shut. Asa sper m -i, they decided forever! to ruin -.he finest street in the world J Bros' 1 .ay, by a railroad. There has ouldomAtieu a U&y of more relief for the peo™ of tho State of New Yprk than when Legislature \toic home. 1 draw the fourth illustration from the accident atSpuyten Duyvil. The politicians on the way home from having qverpoiverett tl+e con ductor, turning the car inio a bed lam, an# one of them pulling the rope of air-brake till the train halted ai*l another train swept round the curve, and thp'ijves of valuable citizens and the bridal tour massacre and horror, the flamWn- what the collision left. "T firuw another illaatrJSMn from the River and Harbor misa® ropma tiou—at least $50,000 infamowsly misappropriated. Gentlemen gdng round making campaign speeches for their re-election may try to fix that up, but never can fix it up this side the Jay of Judgment and that will fix it down. During this sum mer I saw two of the places for which large made in the River and bill. The one was a dry creek in West Vir ginia. There was not a drop of watojMdiere then and there seldom is than two or three feet deep. U starts in no particular afl ends nowhere. Thousands ox dolliws Voted for the development of that creek! The appropriation for the improvement of that creek is of no more public value than an ap propriation for a river or the top of the City Hall. BwMrJle. all swindle; nothing but swindle of the pnblie! 1 w this summer one place off the soltq for which dollars w*K3 voted. A sea uupnHl wno his life on that coaß told me that the change which wou to be made there would have one effeet. and that would bo to |H| up the ice in winter and impede naF igation. So there is one laugh of de rision going around the land at that Congressional outrage. But the peo ple who pay the taxes seem stupid to understand the joke. ojK it is such an easy thing to vote other people’s money. Many of IB leading men of both political parties voted for that Ration insulting, God- What a beautiful was for Congress practicajrtysay: “The people of the United States since the war have been taxed till the blood came, now let them irn, and with this vast stufli plus in we can afford to put the taxes xnfty down.

I draw another illustration froH the Star Route swindle. What H precious revelation! Ai|HR proml nent miscieants of that fraud are politicians, Their guilt was proved beyond all question, aud hud they been poor men the trial would have lasted four days, aud then they would haye been thrown into the Penitentiary, they had plenty of money, so tho trial lasted four months and left them comparatively free.

Colonel Ingersoll says so. I am glad that infidelity has gone out of the übstra<®Hito the realm of practical morals, and we are having demon strated beyond ali controversy what itfavors and countenances. To come down to the present time I draw another illustration from this present time. There were three fac> tions in the convention at Saratoga. You know about the forged telegram used in the Stale Committee in be half of one faction, and that forgery has been rightly excoriated from one end of the earth to Otfk other. But there was an attempt at fraud by oimi of the other factions at SaratoH yiat has nut been properly ventilfl came a moment of wUdest eicite _ itwasevddent 410^ the most vo “ cbacFol * er * ould g* the moilwo ag nomiiiee for q QVv ern ® r j. x lieu a man from Oneida, in a3 Do .and a spirit of fraud as was ever at Lempted this side of pandemonium, said that the whule Oneida deiega- I tion would now change frsm Wads ! worth to Cornell, trying to make a stampede m that direction without the consent of the members them selves. The fraud would haye been successful had not a man with sten torian jxpee from misrepresented >o(reiaasnouted: “I am from Oneida District, and I want to change my vote to Judge Folger.” Some honest man demanded the calling of the roll of that county, and it was fouud that instead of going solidly to Cornell, as was stated, the vote of that county stoodkeveafur Cornell,four for Wads worth and two ror Folger. The forc ed telegram was intended to h3p Folger, The fraud of that member who misrepresented Oneida, to help Cornell and. while honest men ana- thematize the former, eommon jus tice demands that they anathemat ize the latter. While righteousness is cruafied in the center, I show you that on the right aud the left are the two thieves; the forged telegram on the one side aud the Oneida fraud— the worst of the two thieves—on che other. While the Cornell men hold up their haf ds in holy grief at the forged telegram sent to the State Committee, they g£>v%r up with their skirts the OnShi abomination; but they can not hide it. J drag it oul aud lifi it up, bo that all the land may see to what insufferable de -1 gradation modern politics have come. But there are illustrations more than X can mention.

That Atlanta of which I caught sight from Kennesaws crest seemed a group of spires uplifted like glitter ing obeliskspu the distant blue. Asl thus looked foward, with forests un der and rocks around me, it appeared only the shining mark at which Sherman had shot his shaft, but as seen now, from the midst of its rum ble, its rattle and its shrill noises, it is so quick with the life of trade as to threaten to drive dry history back into the books. Overiu the quiet woods, by New Hope Church, thought of the things done there, during the grand campaign came freshly up at every turn; at this young giant umoug cities, itself born .of battles, one must get into the suburban fields to catch again the echo of strife so long siuce succeeded by factory whis ties piping peace. THE city’s 810 GUNS. “Why Peach-Tree street first?” I asked Plutarch, who held the reins as we began to rattle over the stones outward bound. “Peach-Tree street fust; ’coase, sail, hobotlyez am enuybody doan think e’gwine no udder way. All de big guns out tlar!’’ “Lawd, Lawd,” said Plutarch, with a half dozen guffaws ; “no 1 sa%, doan yo’ see I'se driven’ at the big gun citizens? Fur instance, ole oss Ben Hill, dead now; dat house dar on de lef uz hissun. An’ den dars ole (xuvnur Bullock, head’d bout his skeedadlm’, didn’t ’ye? He iibes iu dutnex’ house ober dor on de lef; see ’im gwine in de doali now.” “Any other big gwus?” Plutarch looked at me as if shock ed that 1 should be so ignorant of the distingishec Georgians whose homes adjoin on the lovely thorough fare out which we were riding. By and by he liftod his whip towards a tine mansion and fell to snatching out words by the seore: “Hemphill’s house; Constertution man; nics place; boss house; mountains of jmoney in dem newspapahs: huch, by golly! got busted once, but he cuk an’ come agin: sharp man; bag a iwo ez ebber was but yo’ can’t bust a like dat; cut and come agin. ober dar: yo, kno‘‘ “Whose find plains that?” ‘*B long Yankee.

Leading from the buggy at a place which he mentioned as North Aven ue hill, he pointed out the ruins of a fort aud other objects roundabout, so klhat I soon bad au idea"of tkacon- Idition of Hill’s defenses. We were *u au undisturbed section of the in terior line of earthworks, which, whileitmay be traced several the in hundreds of places by streets, gar dens and soiled suburban blocks. At lanta’s growth has been so wonderfu that the war-jacket of mail knit by Johnston about the place uo longer, fits- The Lares and Pwiates sit above the mantles of happy homes (that themselves stand where once i Mars bulged the hills with his heel. •Sweet shrubs, gay coleus and the bright oleander are nooked into the depths of | ifie-pits now fringed with theweds of the garden instead of by circles of fire. At one place we saw laborers hauling awthe earth of a dismantled fort, with which to grade a sdket, nor was it uncommon to find a bix of parapet capped with hedge for the preservation *of the relic. i THE FIELD OF PEACH-TREE Cl^jEK. While the Federal line of circum val latiou was not as strong as the lines of defense, it is better preserv ed because further from the city’s skirts. Yet it has been plowed down shoveled out and overgrown in so many places that it would be quite as hard to follow as the stretch of works that encircle the suburbs. PI utarch took me out to the Federal line on the road and drove toward a dozen other points of the compass, indicating where sucl? and fcuch an incident of the siege of six plough Tight Squeeze none Wthe girls of which looked pretty Enough to warrant the name of the place, and bowled along the country end of’ Peach-Tree street to Peach Tree Creek, where ,was fought the first of the battle on this side of the Chattahoochee. On that geld, now largely in scrub oak and pine, we found lesses lints of works, as well as any number of shell marks and bullet holes —scars that will stick to the trees long after those made upon the veteran’s body shall have moul dered back to dust. A RIDE ALONG- MTHERSON’s AVENUE. But all rays of battle-field interest focus at a certain spot in the wild wood whereon chance left sprinkles of heroic blood,- whereto the loving fancies of a nation cling and wher e of many songs shall yet be sung. There it was that McPherson tipped his cap towards the biting black mouths of a dozen muskets and in nis quick spur for liberty struck death full tilt. It is the place of all others hereabout to see, and to fail in the sight is to miss the meat from the nut, the life from the wine, the Hamlet from the play. So thinks ing, as the guide let his horses take their bits freely out the Flat Sboala pike, past some scattering houses and to the extreme edge of the city’s southeastern suburb, I was eager enough when he impressively drew rein at a roadside oak. Nailed to ithis tree was a fingeKboard which, n faint lettering, directed us down aoarrow lane labeled “McPherson’s avenue.” As, in obedience to the sign, we wheeled to the left we found ourselves jolting along a by-way roughened by jagged stones, pro jecting roots and uneven ruts.' It was clear that McPherson's avenue never had been used lor any other purpose than to reach the place of McPherson’s death. Picket fences bordered both sides of the road and bushes swept mud from our spokes as we labored along. Though our ears caught the hum of a lively city’s noises it seemed as if we had drop pea into a genuine bit of wilderness. Trees were set thickly among rem uants of ri tic-pits, and at the fmther end of the lane rag-weed choked briars and briars fought rag-weed in a wild tangle over the surface of a desolate field. m’pherson’s .monument of iron. I was put in m id of similar sights seen on the skirts of the Bloody An- I gle and happened ; to beAhinking of the unmarked spot !of Sedgwick’s fall there when we drew suddenly op before a patch of black iron, one word McPheJlV)^: standing muzzle up on a pedestal of stone with a picket fence of blacken ed musket-barrels closely encircling. The cannon, now as voiceless as the hero whose death-spot it stands upon, bears the peuciled names of many comrades and of men from eyery part of the world, nor may it be amiss to say Time's own name written in rust from the shell at the apex to the stone below. Yet what Time has done in the way of de struction is as nothing compared with the vandalism wrought by small rascals whom Time will make an swer. As made by comrades who loved McPherson, the euclosino picket had thirty-one muskets on eyery side, or one hundred and twenty lour ou the four sides, togeth- er with nine barrels grouped at each corner iu fanciful posts. Now the bayonet is missing from most of the barrels and thirty-two of the mus kets themselves have been torn from their iron sockets. So it comes that the unsightly gaps in the picket, the scratched camion and the hacked stone make the monument rather one in memory.of|the spirit that possess-. es the relieshunter than in honor of brave McPherson. IN THE FAMOUS BY ROAD. Scattered around the monument uie clumps of undergrowth, saplings Irom which canes have been cut and stumps out of which bullets have been taken. About twelve feet from the enclosure stands a pine with a girth twice as extended &s that of the cannon. It was at the roots of this tree that McPherson fell and here he gave up the ghost. Old wounds and new wounds give the tree the look of a veteran, for its bark has tieen chipped time and again by persons who seek to get the very bullet that took McPherson’s breath. We made our way ou foot along the blind road down which the lallen general was spurring when slain. As if this bridle-path always was to be a place of misadventure, Plutarch also ran plump into a hor nets’ nest, but, unlike poor McPker son, the darkey escaped to count his stings and to damn all battle-fields from Bunker Hill to Tel-el-Kebir. I began to fear that the distressed darkey might not be able to go on to the Howard House, which was the headquarters of the Army of Ten nessee at the time of Hardee’s as sault, but we pushed the horses through the woods and reached just at sundown. Mr. Patrick Cal houn, a nepbew of Jo>- n C . Calhoun, * whose battles w^ re fought with the Q , kla/ie of logic and the lauce of *i lore, is the present occupant of house, now a residency bearing few marks of fche that once teat round. Mr. Calhoun’s absenci l om home was deemed a misfortune; for flhich, however, there was compensation in scene. The last of found us halt ing there on the while be fore us the wide swem? of battle field from that height mHw, was cur tained by the shades about to fall. No crack of picket-gnu nor sudden streak of flame was upon the senses, for the star that burns blue hard by Orion’s sword caught the twe and the first calls of the whippoOTwill rang from ruined fort to fallen parapet^ * r Qt M. EXCEPTIONAL ARCTIC ICE DRIFT. New Tork Herald. The latest reportjffrom the Artie Ocean reveal an exceptional move ment of its ice masses, which in the nWe of the ca#B must have a deeid ed effect on .the coming European winter. Owing tothc#buermous quau tities of drift ice in,the Kara Sea the steamer fNordenskjolk was last month compelled to her voyage to the Ywlisei andtput back to Vardo. AAr being four times battled in the to penetrate Matoscnkin Schar her commander went to Waigats Island, where lie saw ice extended as far as the fifty fourth meridian, and would haye been frozen in there if his vessel had not possessed such powerful machine ry for extricating herself. On the Iceland coast the steamer Valdemar found some of the ports %napproacha| ble by rSkon of massive ice even at the close of the summer, and other vessels arriving at Orkney on the 19th ult. from Reikiavik report “ics already settling on the Iceland coast, “giving promise of another severe winter there.” Professor Nor denskjolk hazards the opiniefu that the Kara Sea probably does not pletely freeze over during the wiqfer aud that it is not entitled to the bad name of the “ice-house” given it bv the old northeast voyagers, but than, “during autumn this sea is quite available for navigation.” In August, 1870, Mack, Ulve and other naviga tors found the Kara Sea comparative ly free of ice, as |Payer, Nordensk jolk and others have since found it summer. But its present ice .condi tions attest its unreliability as a per manent summer route to ports ,on the Siberian coa3t and show that in exceptional years ikis impossable. The profusion of OTift ice seen in the Arctic sea all through the past summer indicates that the previous season has been one of unusually large precipitation and high tempera ture. While the sequel of these con ditions may not be an extremely cold winter in 1882 83 the polar basin proper, the diffpion of its gla cial drift toward Iceland and Noya Zembla will most probably so far low er the temperature of the ocean be tween Europe and these Arctic is lands as to make the coming Euro pean winter at least colder than was its predecessor. So marked and well observed is the connection be tween anomalous ice drift in the po lar seas between Nova 'Zembla and Iceland and anomalous European wether that foreign meteoralogist s profitably keep a sharp eye on the former with a view to the prevision of the character of approaching European seasons.
