HAMMOND'S METHOD.

Criticism of the St. Louis Republican on his Manner of Working.

An Article of Interest to Haute People.

From

Terre

caturtlay's

Dally.

Rev. Edward Pavson Hammond, the well-Ttnown evangelist, ha* just concluded a spiritual campaign of five or six weeks duration in Yonkers. N. Y., and departed for a wider field of labor in Virginia. A few days before his departure he wa« interviewed by a repse«entative of the New York World, to whom he

rave *ome interesting ana valuable inconcerning the methods employed in his work. The system under *„,which he operated was, he said, very carefully constructed, and having been confirmed bv experience was rarely or never deviated from, Whenever possible U. do so he arrived at a new place on

Saturdax, and the same evening held a met*tin* lor Christians and submitted his plan of operations. I he next day he commenced with the children and on this subject says: "I've converted thousands of children. Mow earlv do I think a child can be con-, verted? Oh, I think at about eight years but I don't know as it is worth while for ou to state that in the paper, for you know newspaper readers are incredulous Umph! Well just as you please are you going to make a long article? Indeed. Then you must take off your coat and stay to tea. I have a carriage always at my dispotal, and after supper you shall drive with me to the square." You'll be amused we've converted some of the toughest sinners in town, and I'll give you a chance to see .some of the characters.' There is one young man I should like to have you hear: he'is indeed a character. He isn't more than 20 years old and he has been arrested twenty-two times. I get him to speak now and then, and it has great effect with the haVd characters. He appeals for their soul-salvation in a slang vernacular, which is quite unintelligible to me, but which ha» great influence with them. The other night he told a conundrum. Said he: 'Boy's, why is my nose like the Brooklyn bridge? Give it up Because so many schooners—of beer—have gone under it.' Mr. Ham-

the undersigned, do now believe in Jesus as my precious Savior and I prom isc tith His help to live as as His loving child and faithful servant all my life. "Name "1S77 "I will make an everlasting covenant with tiu-m, itiat I will not turn away from them, u» do them good but I will put my fear in their hearts, tli*i they shall notdq part from me,—[Jer. xxxii., 40.'''

The name and age of all the signers arfc entered in a book prepared for the purpose. He had issued 534 of these cards in Yonkers—a small town—about fifty per cent, of them to children of tender age. In St. Louis thousands were distributed, and the churches crowded for months. In London he packed Spur geon's tabernacle, and in Chicago, twelve veais ago, he gave Moody the hint which lias since been so glorously,improved.

After farther conversation in the t»me vein the reporter accepted an invitation to attend the evening service in the public square. A young man was narranguing the multitude when they arrived, who seemed to be quite popular with the boy listeners, one of whom said to his companion: "'Yer see that fellow, Billy? That's George Newman he's been in jail more times 'n you and me '11 never be, and he's got a new suit of clothes on,clothes given him by the parson.'

Mr. Newman was soon called upon to "come up higher," which he did, and immediately took an active part in the performance. •'He made a novel address, wl*ich, to the sensitive mind of the reporter, who by invitation had also climbed into the carriage, might have been considered to border upon actual blasphemy, had not M«". Hammond frequently reassured him, by mild pokes in the ribs, that it was everything that could be desired. 'That'9 the way to reach them,' said the evangelist to the reporter, as Newan announced that -Jesus would make them laugh out of the other side of their months/ 'Now, Newman,' ht said,' 'tell them about when -you used to be drunk and wicked.' The young man was nothing loth, and gave a recital of his intoxicated rambles about the streets of Yonkers, to the alternate astonishment and delight of the openmouthed, eager.eyed crowd of small children that pressed around the carriage. •Let's have the steamboat man,' presently said a voice, and in response to this demand Mr. Hammond inv'ted a redcheeked young man into the carriage, who with considerable sprightness told of his former rakish life when he frequented •the games' and evil places of the city."

From the public square the party proceeded to a church, in which there was standing room only," and not much of that. ^Ir. Hammond conducted the exercises, which were of a valedictory charactir, and during hit sermon stopped .ahort to say "I have written a pretty little hvran, which I should like you to join me in singing and then led off with the following, set to the familiar tupe,

Old Grimes is Dead:"

"tio on, goon, go on, go oa, uoon, go on, go on, #1 io on, go on, go on, goon.

*-,

Go on, go on, go on*7*

ij This brilliant devotional lyric touched •the sympathies of the audience so closely that it was twice repeated.

We are inclined to think that in no ag$, and certainly in no other country, could such appliances as these accomplish the wonderful results which Mr. iHammond says they do. And if Mr. ^Hammond's method is the right method -#Ybv which to promulgate and enforce the saving truths cf Christianity, how much had Je,us and Paul and Peter to learn

AN ANTE-BELLUM SCENE.

A scene occurred in executive session of the senate to-day which will recall some turbulent scenes that were frequent in Congress prior to the rebellion. It occurred over the caseot Wade, a carpetbagger, who was nominated to be collector of internal revenue in Georgia, and who received a favorable report from the committee on finance, against the protest of Senators Gordon and Hill. Wade's name was low down on the calendar, and as soon as the senate went into secret session, Mr. Gordon asked that tbe regular order be suspended and that Wade's nomination be taken up. Mr. Conkling objected to this and was supported by several Republican Senators. Mr. Gordon lost his temper at the opposition maintained, and made some offensive remark about the aispoposition of Conkling to dragoon the senate, and charged that Conkling had pocketad the report o.f the committee on Commerce upon the nomination of Smith to be collector of customs at Mobile. Conkling affected not to hear Gordon's remark, and asked him to repeat it, which Gordon did.

THE LIE COURTEOUS—DIRECT.

Mr. Conkling then said, with great deliberation and emphasis "Mr. President, what the senators state in wholly untrue,'' pointed his finger at Gordon as he uttered these words.

Gordon was standing at his desk, but desks pushed through between the desks in front of him towards Conkling. He was

graceful to the senate Mr. Gordon returned to his desk, remarking in an under tone that he would demand an apology. Mr. Conkling heard the rrmark, and addressing the Vice-President, said if apologies were made the Senator from Georgia should set the example. *$*.-'•' AN INFERENTIAL ALLUSION TO PHIL

LIP!.

Gordon then said that he did not desire to further interrupt the proceedings but he would demand a settlement at another time and place, making an allusion to his honor, which is characteristic of manv southern mtn. Conkling retorted that under such circumstances, still addressing the chair, that he was prepared for settlement now or hereafter, and then withdrew his objection to the request made by Gordon for the immedi ate consideration. ,l{

A RED RAO TO MR. BLAINE.

Wade's case was then taken up, and Mr. Hill made a9peech against his confirmation. Among other things, he charged Wade had circulated false stories about southern men in the north and in northern newspapers. This called up Mr. Blaine, and a warm controversy took place between him and Hill about southern outrages. Wade was confirmed bv a strict party vote.

There was also considerable discussion over the confirmation of McLin, recently attorney general of Florida, and a member the retnrning-board, and who was nominated as judge for New Mexico. McLin was also confirmed by a party vote.

AN ATTEMPT AT PACIFICATION

Before adjournment Messrs. Thurman and Hamlin made speeches deprecting the'difficulty between Conkling and Gor don. They attributed it to the unusual excitement through which the Senate had passed lately, and hope that both gentlemen would reach an amscable understanding. Neither Coukling nor Gordon, however, made any advance before the Senate adjourned.

WILL THEN BE ADMITTED.

Conkling is spending night with Jfones, of Nevado, and Gordon remains close in his rooms at the hotel, declining to receive callers. Senators have been extremely anxious to keep the proceedings of the executive session from the newspapers, and most cf them evade questions, and reply that the passage between Conking arid Gordon amounted to nothing. The facts as given above, however, may be re lied upon as correct. ,•

the Porte now makes, and the state of war simply retards such reforms and is disastrous to country .generally destroying agricultural interests, killing industry and ruining financial reorganizations, lnde pendently of these arrangements for reform, what reason can there be for

CONTINUING WAR.

Russia has declaired that she is not animated by a spirit of conquest, the military honor of

must be abundantly satisfied. What objeet can there be in prolonging the contest ruinous to both countries.

The moment has arrived tor the belligerent powers to accept peace without affecting their dynasty. Europe might now usefully interpose her good offices, since the Porte is ready to

COME TO TERMS.

The country is not at the end of its. resources and" is still prepared to fight in its own defence. It is ready, moreover, to sacrifice all for the independence and integrity of the fatherland, but the Porte is desirous to stop the further effusion of blood, and therefore appeals to the feelings of justice, which must animate the great powers, hoping they will receive these overtures favor ably.

WILL NOT ADVANCE.

A Plevna correspondent telegraphs he believes the Russians will not advance immediately on Plevna but await the effect of the fall of that place. The heavy guns on the Sofia r.*ad between Plevna and the river bed have been hauled back.

His defencc was that the services were tendered gratuitously, and that Dr. Kenealy had promised to send Coote business in exchange for services. This agreement Dr. Kenealy swore he had fully complied with. The jurv, however, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amont.
