The excess of American exports
over Imports during the first eight

The New York Independent says
the artistic taste of the late Senator
Sumner was so dofoctivo “that the
collection of works of art which he
bequeathed to the Boston Athemeum
had so little value that the directors
refused to give them house-room,
and disposed of them at auction.

We do not yet certainly know
whether money or votes have curried
the elections in Ohio and Indiana;
but we know enough to demonstrate
the alarming potency of money in our
politlos. It is apparent that ull close
States oan be carried by the largest
puree, and this is a fact which ought
to arouse the American people to
a keen perception of their true polit
ical condition.
The Albany Argue, which is regard
ed as the confidential journal of Gov.
Tilden, has of late been very compli
mentary to Hon. B. H. Hill, and
speaks of him as ‘’the distinctive rep
resentative of the South’’ (which he
unquestionably isj We imagine
that arter this the fow Dem
ocratic papers of Georgia that are
continually making spiteful lUngs at
Mr. Hill, will stop such manifesta
tions of their hostility until after the
Presidential election at least.

They had to arm a body of citizens
to maintain order in Indianapolis on
tho day of the election. This is a
serious fact, because the agreement
of tho two pnrtles to the arrange
ment shows that there was a necessity
for it. Holding elections under the
protection of muskets is a now thing
in this oountry. We have witnessed
the use of Federal bayonets on such
occasions in the South, but they wero
needlessly and wrongfully employed
here for the intimidation of one of
the parties. In Indiana both parties
sanctioned the presence of a body of
armed men because they reoognized
the need of it. It is a grave ques
tion, how long will olections be free
in this country ?

A Train In IXtlllalon with F.lr|iliiint.
Big stories come from big loads—take
the tond of Niagara forsn example. The
land of the Himalayas, too, has its sensa
tional narratives on a grand scale; apd
these, with the spread of lUo Anglo-Indian
press, are obtaining wider notoriety every
day. The sea serpent of American waters
has a rival iu the gigantic octopus of the
Indionoccan, which the other day drag
ged down under water a schooner in ftfil
sail, the captain of which presumed to
firer at the floating monster. But the
latest anecdote from India, though sensn
tlonol enough, is thoroughly credible.
It resembles closely an incidcut which is
well known to have occurred several years
ago, when the railway from Madras to
Shoranore, on the Malabin coast, was first
opened out for regular traffic. This time,
however, the scene is laid ou a railway iu
Indio.
Asa train was proceeding at a fair
sped tbg engine driver noticed a herd of
elephants advancing toward him along the
line. He immediately sounded the whistle
and his assistant pul on the brake. In an
instant, however, they were into the herd.
The leading elephant, a huge tusker, was
apparently only enraged by the whistle,
and cbsrbed the advancing train. There
was a tremendous concussion, the elephant
was knocked of! to one side, mutilated and
writhing,and the ttain,after aserios of vio
lent jolts which nearly threw it oil the
liue, came to a standstill against tho bodies
of two other animals of the herd. There
was not a grea* deal of damage done, hut
the passengers were much frightened, and
the engine was considerably battered about
the front.
The tusker was despatched by an En
glish gentleman who was traveling in the
train, and his tusks secured, after which
the train proceeded on its jouruey. The
remainder of the herd scampered away,
ttnd turned when about a mile off on a
knoll, looked in a dazed stupid kind of a
way at the train as it moved off.
THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS,
The Croat Mklrmlvh Nat BlaeouravUne-
At the time of this writing, tho re
ports at hand load us to bollevo that
the Democrats have carried Indiana,
and the Republicans have carried
Ohio—both by small majorities—per
haps not exceeding 6,000 in either.
Wo feel enoouragod, rather than
disheartened, by theso results. We
have been apprehensive that on ac
count of the strong “Greenback”
feeling prevailing in Ohio and Indi
ana, tho Democrats would not be
able to rally their strength for their
regular ‘candidates this year. But
tho results In both States show that
the Democratic columns are almost
unbroken, and that if they have not
olectcd their tickets, they have made
contests so exceedingly close as to
make tho issue in their November
elections very doubtful. What is an
Ohio majorty of 7,000 in a total vote
of over 600.000? or an Indiana major
ity of 4,000 or 5,000 in a voto of 300,-
000? It is plain that where the divi
sion Is so close, superior organiza
tion, and especially tho use of money,
will turn tho scale either way.
No Democratic Presidential esti
mate that we havo yet seen claimed
Ohio for Tilden and Hendricks. Some
classed tho State as doubtful, and
others conceded it to Hayes. In
diana, too, has always boen regardod
as a doubtful State, and it must so
bo considered yet. The result of
this election has not ut all changed
its classification. It will be remem
bered, indeed, that tho nomination
of Gov. Tilden was advocated on tho
ground that it would bo better to
surrender our chances in Ohio and
Indiana if by so doing wo could make
sure of New York and other Eastorn
States. It is of no consequence
now that some of us did not approve
this policy. The party in its wisdom
determined it, and we relying on its
superior judgment, have yet a lively
hope that it will secure the Eastern
States which It had in view* in the
nomination of Gov. Tilden. A ma
jority of the Electoral College is at
tainable by the Democrats without
either Ohio or Indiana; and not only
attainable, but their superior pros
pects of securing suoh a majority
must be admitted by candid politi
cians. To show this, we make now
the first Presidential estimate which
we have formed or copied during
this canvass.
Wo have strong hopes of an un
broken Southern vote; but to boon
tho safo side, we will concede to the
Republicans tho only two Southern
States in which they are making a
serious contost-South Carolina and
Louisiana. They have 15 Electoral
votes, and taken from the 138 South
ern votes would leave for Tilden and
Hendricks
Southern States, 123 Electoral votes.
New York, 35
New Jersey, 9 “ “
Connecticut, 6 “ “
New Hampsnire, 5 “ “
California, 6 “ “
Oregon, 3 “ “
Total, 187
A majority of tho Electoral College
being 185, wo havo in this estimate
that majority and two votes to spare,
without counting Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, or Nevada, in ull of
which States the Democrats have
strength very noarly or quite equal
to that of their opponents.
We go through the October elec
tions, then, with;rauch to encourage
us, and nothing to dishearten. We
are struggling for good government,
honest udminisrratlon, and constitu
tional limitations. If wo fail, all of
these are lost. But we cannot and
shall not fail if the American people
are still true to tho principles of
their fathers, and that they will vin
dicate and uphold theso principles
in tho day of decisive action we can
not yet doubt.
The Pa:uAnglican Synod.
The following is the text of the Archbi
shop of Canterbury’s letter to the bishops in
communion with the Chureh of England
abroad:
“ Right Reverend Brother: A wish has been
expressed by many bishops of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in the United States
of America, by the bishops of the Canadian
Dominion and by the West Indian bishops
that a second Conference of our brethren
should be held at Lambeth. Before I decide
upon the important steps of inviting the
bishops of our Communion throughout the
world to assemble at Lambeth, I have
thought it right, alter consultation with the
bishops of England, to give all our brethren
an opportunity of expressing their opinion
upon the expediency of convening such a
conference at this time, and upon the choice
of the subjects which ought to engage its
attention if it be convened. I therefore beg
leave to intimate to you our readiness to
hold a conference at Lambeth in or about the
month of duty, 1878, if it shall 6eem expedi
ent after the opinions ot all our brethren
have been ascertained, and I need scarcely
assure you that your advice is earnestly
desired and will be respectfully considered.
May i ask your guidance whether you are
willing and are likely to be able to attend
the conference yourselt? Those who were
present at Lambeth in 1867 thankfully
acknowledged that through the blessing of
Almighty God the bishops of the various
branches of the Anglican Communion w ere
drawn together in closer bonds of brotherly
love and sympathy. The help and comfort
which are due from the branches of Christ’s
Church to each other are more readily ren
dered the more fully each is made aci|uaiit'
ted with the wants ol the rest. In this
time of religious activity and increased
intercourse between all parts ot the world
there is greater need than ever of mutual
counsel among the bishops of our widely
extended communion. The bishops ofEng
land, therelore, earnestly ask you to join
with them in prayer that we may all be gui
ded to a wise decision on this important
matter, and if it should be resolved to bold
the Conference, that its deliberations may
issue in giester peace and strength and
energy to the whole Chureh of Christ. Anx
iously awaiting your answer, I remain your
faithful brother and servant in Christ,
A. C. CAJiTVAn."

A BLOW AT SENSATIONALISM.
THE POPULAR LOVE OP SCANDAL.
Last Sunday morning Rov. NV. P.
Hurrison, D. D., preached in the
First Methodist Chureh of this city a
magnificent sermon, from the text,
“Judge not. that ye be not judged.”
After applying the text to the con
duct of Christians, and declaring that
tho great fault of modern religion
was its want of charity, ho spoke of
the animosity which embittered all
political strifes at the present day.
Itengendersan unscrupulous hatred,
which vents itself in libels and slan
ders which are without foundation,
and are brought forth as political
capital, A sad spectucle is presented
to the world at this time by the
boasted republic of America. In
this Centennial year of our liberties,
when we have invited all nations to
come and witness the wonderful pro
gress we have made in the arts aud
sciences, we are in tho midst of a
great political -struggle, whose
bitterness is like gall. One
great party denounces the
candidate of the other os a robber
and a despoiler of the dead; the other
great party accuses the standard
bearer of its opponents of perjuring
himself under the laws of his country.
Each (tarty is supposed to select
from its best and purest men a can
didate|for the chief magistracy of the
country. What must the outside
world think when it hears the cho
sen representatives of two groat po
litical parties of the nation de
nounced as robber and perjurer?
It may be said that these are the
mere machinations of a party press;
but tho press would not dare perpe
trate such outrages upon tho sancti
ty of private reputation, if it did not
meet, public approval. The truth is,
this is only an evidonce of the morbid
love of sensasionalism and scandal,
which hns become a passion among
our people. The press does fan the
flame by its glaring exaggerations,
but it does not kindle it. All good
people well know that neither of these
political parties speaks the truth
when it utters these slanders, and
yet they give them currency and
make them the topics of common
conversation. Tho publio frown
should be forever fixed on such dark
displays of human passion and prej
udices. This love of scandal will not
only make us unhappy at home, but
will cause us to bo ridiculous in the
eyes ot the world.
He then turned to the sensational
spirit of modern journalism, and
painted it in all its horror. It leaves
no subject sacred; it invades the sa
cred circles of home and the sorrow
which is almost crushing to one poor
heart is seized with ruthless hand
and proclaimed to the world. The
tender affection of a mother is out
raged for the sake of a dashing head
line, and a father’s heart wrung with
anguish that a half-column of sen
sational matter may be Hung out to
the degraded appetite ot the public.
No private grief is safe from this hor
rible publicity ; no sorrow is too sa
cred for this unholy touch.
The denunciation of journalistic
sensationalism, was by far more se
vere than any words we could use,
and yet it was nothing but just.
The whole sermon ought to be pub
lished and generally read. It was an
earnest appeal for the exercise of that
Christian eharitv which is so rare
"under the sun.” Several questions
of vital importance to public morals
and national welfare, were discussed.
The sermon was one of rare power.
It was, indeed, the finest effort we
have heard in a long time from the
master mind by which it was con
ceived.
The investigation at Madrid into
the murder of Gen. Prim, com
menced six years ago, has just ter
minated. As many as 125 persons
were implicated, but it was not found
possible to fix the guilt of the crime
on any one by absolute proof.
