Moral Purpose. [Recent Boston Sermon ] "Who niournB the death of Caleb Codling? And yet when General Bartlett died at 06 a thrill of emotion paused over the continent. In Mr. Cushing moral was divorced from intellectual power. He could be used but not trusted, and everybody knew it. Yet Abraham Lincoln could neitheY write a state 'document nor speak: oil-hand on any question without saying something that touched the nation’s heart. He had not Mr. Cushing’s mental versatility, but his nature was aglow with moral power. Kecent experience has led men U> auk seriously. What are the moral checks of first-class men? We fear that there is great lack of power to control ability to the wisest results. Every man has his own private devil, and the question is, whether he knows how to harness his devil into the practical purposes of life, or lets him run arouud loose. If there is not a right purpose, a moral conviction behind ability, what can be done? If one’s moral nature has never been trained, ten chances to one he will fail of success. Here is the danger which besets bright and vigorous men. The thing most needed to-day is the genius for morality. The tendency is to make men so smart that they cannot be trusted. It is rarer to find an honest than a' smart man. We need schools of morality and religion more than we need the finishing touohes of education. A man without a moral purpose is like a ship without a steersman. The smart man who is a truly religious man is the greatest moral force, and the true foundations of such a character are only to be laid in religion.

A lady telegrapher says: “I make it a rule to n ad messages literally, and before the writer leaves the desk. If you telegraph ‘two and two makes five,’ it’s not my but-iness to tell yon they make four. I did that once. A tall old man with a cigarette in his mouth, and a tremendous weed on his hat, gave me this message: ‘The Fall River boat leaves the foot of Twenty-third, street at four. Send the donkeys by mail.’ I said, ‘You’re mistaken, sir, the Fall River boat leaves the down town pier at five o’clock, not four.’ I never shall forget the look he gave me. Said he: “Young woman, you tend to your business, and I’ll tend to the Fall River boat.’ After that I’d have sent the bible backward and called my baby a bear, if a customer wrote it on the blank.’*

Stewart’s Remains Reported Recovered. New Yoek, January 17.—It b stated apon authority so trustworthy as to leave but little if any doubt of the entire correctness of the report, that Mrs. Stewart has said to at least two persons (a gentleman and lady) within the last six days, that the body of her husband had been recovered; that it had been delivered to Judge Hilton, and that it has been placed by him in a secure vault and well guarded, there to remain until the completion of the crypt in tBe Stewart Memorial Cathedral in Garden City. It has been stated op equally trustworthy authority that Judge Hilton was approacheB soma weeks ago by the representative of a well-known firm of lawyers in this city in releretce to the restoration of the body. This the lawyer said could be effected upon certain conditions. First—That $100,000 in cash should be paid down when the body was produced. Second—That no question should be asked further than necessary for the absolute identification of the body. Third—That a pledge of honor would be given that no attempt would be made to trace or arrest the robbers. Negotiations upon this basis were begun and concluded ten days ago; $50,000 in cash, instead of the $100,000 first asked, was paidThe identification was entirely satisfactory, and the body was taken to its present resting place. Exactly where the body now is is not yet made public, but as to the above facts Mrs. Stewart had herself given them, in full detail and w ith no reservation. At Garden City there are no indications that unusual efforts are being madp to push forward work on the crypt. This afternoon Judge Hilton Was asked if he would say “yes or no’* to questions whether Mr. Stewart's body had been found. He responded. “1 have nothing to say at present. I am very busy.” [New Y’ork special to CinalnnaU Enquirer.] It was a last expiring sensation made in that line by the Sun, and it didn’t scare worth a cent. Superintendent Walling, when asked about it, said: “If Stewart’s body has been recovered I have no knowledge of it; and more than that, I venture to say that I very much doubt the knowledge of the fact of that by any one.” Captain Kealy, chief of detectives, said: “Another ghost story, I sea. It's too cold for such thin articles.” In answer to a plain question he gave the plain answer; "I have no knowledge of any new features in the Stewart case, and ceretainly can not know that the body has been recovered.” Inspector Murray said: “It’* all new to me. The first intimation I bad of even the rumor, I obtained from reading the article.” Judge Hilton in response to a note requesting a statement of facts in the case, sent out the following in his own handwriting: “Having no information I desire to communicate, I prefer at present not speaking oa the subject further.”

Missouri’s Coming Senator. St. Loris, January 17.—The vote by which Geerge G. Vest was nominated for United States senator in the democratic caucus last night, was: Vest, 71; Glover, 43; Phelps, 7; Allen, 4; Hardin, 4. Great enthusiasm followed the nomination. Mr. Vest was serenaded and quite a number of prominent gentlemen made congratulatory speeches. |St. Louis special to the Cincinnati Commercial. George G. Vest is not the most unfit man iu the state for the position, although not the most desirable even among those whose names were before the caucus. There is no doubt, however, about Vest being the choice of the democratic party of the state. He has been prominent in politics for some years, and was shelved for expediency’s rake at the convention which nominated Phelps for governor in 1876. Y'est is a man of some ability, of middle age, a lawyer, and served in the confederate service. He bails from Kansas City. During the early part of the campaign he made a speech at Macon, in which, after dwelling upon the evils threatened to the country by the possible ultimate domination < f politics by mobs of low ignorant and vicious voters, he expressed himself in favor of a limitation of the right of suffrage. He afterwards, however, qualified these remarks to some extent Mr. Vest’s besetting sin has been intemperance. His friends claim that while in so exalted a position as that to which he asnires and will be placed, he will govern himself sufficiently to bring no reflection upon the state. If he succeeds in doing this .he w ill probably make a better senator thaa Missouri has had since Biair and Schurz retired.

Balloting for United States Senator in Wisconsin.

The Contest on the New York Nominations.

Tale* out of School. [Washington •pedal to Ci»<-tanati Commercial} - The senate com in it tee on commerce to-day discussed quite freely the events of the executive session yesterday, but took no action further than to order copies of Secretary Sherman’* letter regarding the removal of Arthur and Cornell forwarded to thoee gentlemen, in order that they might answer the charges against them contained therein. It is expected, when their reply is received the senate will remove the injunction of secrecy frem the whole correspondence. There is a great deal of talk to-day about the executive session of yesterday, and notwithstanding the fact that senators cautioned each other about alluding to the matter in conversation with outsiders, the entire proceedings seem to be public property, and the speech of Senator Conkling is almost as familiar to the public as if it had been printed in the Record.

Curlou* and Furioua,Rum on • Bank. London, January 17.—An enormous crowd is assembled in Lombard street.

A corps of policemen Is keeping order. There is no unusual excitement inside the bank. The bank has tr good many branches in the suburbs and the rumor spreading may cause such a drain on the cash as to bring the concern to difficulty. Balloting for fMttaloi* In Wisconsin.
