'- ninn- .Sensational preaching. ' Sett- York Sun; 8. Brother Talmage's sermon . yesterday was as sensational as the most ardent sen sation hunter could desire. The crackling of burglars' jimmies, the click of billiard balls, and the rattle of dice were audible in almost every part of it, while the clink ing of champagne glasses 'and the gurgle f drunkards pouring rum down their throats formed a sort of musicaj back ground upon which the liner sounds were projected. The picture ot the drunken "merchant prinee" Hinging the body of his dead wife out of the window deserves an uncpiestionable pre-eminence aniong Pal-1 ! mage's pictures. What a queer volume the authors of the Epistles and Gospels would have turned out had they confined themselves to Broth er Talmage's methods. Instead of telling, with St. Paul, of righteousness, tempef uuce, and the judgment to come, they might have startled the world with highly colored descriptions of the profligacy and corruptions of their time. There certainfy was no lack 01 material. J lie orgies ot Nero or Caligula would have furnished far more frightful pictures of human depravity than anything in the places which Mr. Talmage has- visited. The apostles and fathers of the church might have pleaded with Talmaj that they only portrayed thrse things in order to guard the Chris tian youth against them. But they ab stained from familiarizing their followers with the vices which clustered about the fashionable society of that day. When they did allude to them it was briefly, and in anything but a sensational spirit. There were no Talniage's then, and no 12.000 salaries to pay them.

Judicial and Like Advertising. Charlotte Olurrer. The practice which confines the adver tisement of sheriff's sale, and tax sales to . posting at Court House doors and other I places, not generally frequented-and often I i -1,- - .i ouscure, wmcu nas long prevailed in onn Larouna, is an evil of accumulating ma nitude. It involves serious losses to the State, to tax-payers, to defendants in exe cutions for debts, and often to judgment creaiters, who are left unsatisfied after pro perty is sacrificed for want of sufficient publicity of sale to invite possible bidders. in sales w here orphans and minors are in terested it is liable to work gross injustice. Sheriffs and other court officers not in terested in having a change derive some advantage, perhaps, in preserving the pre sent method. 1 he Observer is at an obvious disadvantage in advocating the publication of such advertisements iu newspapers of the largest circulation in the respective lo calities of sheriff's and tax sales, because it is so easy to say that this paper and others that may unite in aritatinff the subject do so under the bias of a special self-interest. But, on the other hand, let the public and let members of the Legis lature recollect that opposers of the change anp sticKiers ior tne present antiquated practice, which originated in the days when there were no railroads and few or no newspapers, nwv also be under the bias of a special self-interest and a bias withal which does not coincide with considerations of justice and public policy. The Observer has -referred to this sub ject niore than once before. It will refer to it more than once again. i A Rebuke or Blaine. Xtie York Herald. There are probably not a hundred in the whole Union, of the indastrious and producing classes, who would not heartily rejoice .if Congress should now adjourn without day before Mr. Blaine begins his speech. The unexpected quiet of the ses sion thus far has drawn expressions of pleasure from the press and people every where, and everybody hopes though few expect a continuance of quiet andasession devoted to the legitimate business of Congress. DECEMBER 11, LATEST MAILS. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Sanguine Greenbaeker Army Reorganization Baltimore Sun Special. Wasuixgto.v, Dec. 8. The (irefu Lack ers who have been here the last ten days have made a great deal of noise, but have not scared any one. Their leaders, how ever, profess to be perfectly satisfied with the result of their observations and con sultations. They assert that enough Greenback Congressmen-elect have pledged themselves to act independently to make the balance of power in the next House. They talk quite large, and not content with claiming that they will dictate the speak ership, talk of being able to control the entire organization of the House. The Greenbaekera who have taken hold of this thing here are probably a little too enthu siastic. The Greenbackers, if they all should act together, have undoubtedly the power to bring the Democratic majority in the next House down to so close a figure that there will be none to spare, but it is not believed that they can constitute them selves the balance of power. Upjto this date very few indeed of the official cirtifi cates of the members-elect of the next House have been received at the Clerk's office of the House of Representatives. Judging-by the usual delay in the for warding of certificates by the Executives of the different States, it will be three months from now before half of them are in. But several very experienced political calculators have carefully gone over the election returns in the different States as unofficially given, and after making, as they consider, the most liberal allowances in cases of anticipated contests, and giving to tne republicans all the members yet to be elected from California, they figure up a Democratic majority of one over Repub licans and .Greenbackers combined. This, is undoubtedly getting down very close, but if they are all on hand at the opening, one majority is just as good to secure con trol as one hundred, and after the organi zation is effected the good Republican tui tion which the Democrats have had will enable them, if 'they are so disposed, to in crease their majority. But there.is really little or no probability that the Greenback ers will unite as a separate and indepen dent organization. To the contrary, opin ion is extensively expressed that fully one half of them will go into the Democratic caucus. ARMY REORGANIZATION. It is said on what is thhought to be good autnority that among the recom mendations of the jint committee on the armv reorganization are the reduction of the army to 20,000 men, exclusive of the signal corps, the consolidation of the ar tillery and the ordinance corps; of the Commissary General's and Quartermaster General's division; abolition of the staff corps as a distinctive branch; discoute- cance of the appointment and promotion of officers until the number is reduced; offices of general and lieutenant geueral to terminate with death of present incum bents; Quartermaster General Meigs and Adjutant General Townsend to be retired. cot enough of it. Philadelphia Timet Special. The Republicans are becoming tired of the bloody shirt business, and it would be a blessing if the disgusting term was never used again. Of course there are some Re publicans who would send troops into the South and continue the old cry, but the better portion of the party is disposed to think that the civil authority is sufficient to maintain the peace and enforce he laws. SECRETARYSHIP OF THE SEN'ATK. Xorfolk Virginian Special. Ex-Senator William M. Gwin of Cali fornia is the latest named candidate for secretary of the Senate. Senator Dennis of Maryland is preparing for the race, and Waddell of North Carolina is popular and favorably mentioned in this conaection. Of course neither Gwin or any other fossil of that kind stands a ghost of a chance. THE ELECTORAL PROJECTS. Baltimore Sun Special. Senator Edmunds expresses the opinion that he will secure the passage by the Sen-: ate of his bill to regulate the counting of the electoral vote although he is very doubtful of its going through the House. It is said that the snake ia the bill is that it practically prevents the House from ex ercising, in certain contingencies, its con stitutional right of electing the President. STALWARTS DOWX OX HATES. Xetc York Herald Special. There is once more a growing and notice able feeling among the extreme Republi cans against the President. They de nounce him with great bitterness in pri vate say that his remarks on the South were wishy-washy that he is a marplot and a weak-kneed Republican, not to be depended on, and that it is necessary to move frward without him. The plain fact is that they are very much averse to the Presideat's plan of resting with the enforcement of the Federal election laws. NOTES. Senator Iamar is said to be preparing a great speech on the Southern question, in which he will answer the charges against his section, and show how the South may be justified in all that has been done to overthrow Republican rule. Philadelphia TYmes.- The Presides t . is reported as saying that the most persist ent appeals for the appointment of any body to the vacant New England J odge ship come from Senators Blaise and Ham lin in behalf of Judge Fox, of Maine. The Maine Congressmen continue to think that Attorney General Devens is holding the the place for himself. Xorfolk Ledger special: These who make facts here say that one of the first acts of the Democratic Senate will be to oust Kellogg from his seat as Senator from Louisiana.

The cross ties on the graded bed to j the "Gulf" are being put down, and every j thing is all in readiness for the iron. The t bridge across Deep river is nearly com pleted, uuder the supervision of chief en-, gineer Morrison, with his corps ef efficient assistants, and by the first of next year, at j the latest, the car will be running through to the "Gulf." The extension of the West- ' em railroad is almost assured, under the charter, which carries it to Greensboro and the Gazette looks to IUndolph to do its part in making such a subscription as will give that county the railway facilities and transportation so greatly needed. Let the road be finished to Matr thews' Cross KoadV, says our contempo rary, and we have little doubt that the means will then be forthcoming to extend it to Tranklinville, on its route to Greens boro. The paramount importance of building the Herein Kailroad become evident, and in the next General Assembly a bill will probably be introduced, by which the present charter of the Western Railroad raav he so amended and ampli fied as to put it in the power of the rjad. so soon a the means can be secured, to carrr out the present unfinished railway system, redoundng to our benofit, that ol a'U the section through which it passes, and the welfare of the .State. In a few days tbre will be a meeting called of the Directors of the Western Kailroad, and the friends of its extension generally, in Faretteville, and the Gazrttt believes .that the co-operation of the Fayetteville k Florence Railroad Compaay can be count ed upon.
