Nuvcr bcforo ninci time began has micli a unity of sup plication joined U > o peoples of the oartll. Nationality , religion creed , OVON the absence of nil religion have proved no barriers ; ami from million * lioarts since that fata ) July morning earnest petitions have daily arisen that God would bo pleased to spare the lifo of James A. Garfield and re- him to the nation which loved him no well. And yol the president is dead. In the bitterness of our spirit wo may feel inclined to any that the Almighty has not heard or that Ho haa not an- iwered. Not so. Ho haa hoard anil [ Io haa answered n Boomed best in ac cordance with the laws which Ho hat made to govern His universe , llo has tiiBwored in the highest nnd greatest icnso by briiKfinir the American pco- plo into a grand unity beside the bod- ido ot their dead executive. Tlio wish of man cannot determine tfio "will of God. Thn prayer of the human can not alter an inflexible purpose which runs through ell the ages ; but bottuij ind far moro important than the mere ' gaining of the object of the petitioners has been the effect upon the hearts of the people , Forbearing to clmhgo his lawn , the Creator has prepared our nation foi the change in the afluir.of state b } subduing partisan pasiion and fac tional malice aud by bringing then into a unity of purpose fit for sustain ing the great shock under which the ; suffering. Ho has given to 0111 now president time in which to adapi iimself to the needs of the govern tnotit and has aflordod an opportunity 'or reflection on the part of the people by which they are infinstoly bottoi fitted to sustain their now executive : han if Prcnident Garfield had fallen a victim to his wounds on the day he was shot. It is not for the fin i to to [ juoation the purposes of the infinite. The true ofllcaoy of prayer is to jhango the will of the human into ubmisaion to the will dirino , am' in this the highest and best sense the prayers of the nation have boon truly answered. AT the extra session of the senate jto bo convened on October 10th , " ihoro will bo in their seats according to present appearances thirty-seven democratic senators , thirty-four republicans publicans , ono independent ( David' ' | Davis ) _ and Senator Mnhono. The democrats will have a clear majority , on organization , and from all reports will cheese ono of their own ( membera as president pro torn , who will bo next in succession to the presidency , in case of the death of Vice president ] ' Arthur. There is every reason to bo- liovu that Senators Laplmrn and Miller lor , and the successor to Sona-j tor liurnsido , who is yet to * be ap pointed , will not bo permitted : o take their Beats until after the or ganization of the senate is concluded , [ t is confidently predicted that as ioon as this is dune another organ ! zation will bo immediately attempted with the result of just such a dead , lock as took place last'spring. There is , however , n possibifity that the thirty-soven democrats may not all bo iu their seats on the tenth ] of October. Den Hill , for instance , has recently undergone an operation for cancer and several democratic sen ators are said to have gene abroad. If the republicans take advantage of the ] disability or absence of the democrats 'hey ' may succeed in admitting the two Now York aomvtors and the suc cessor of Burnsido on the first day .ho session , and that will give them the supremacy in organizing thu sun uto. ' It would bu impossible for the democrats , even when all their mum bora aso present , to , reorganize the senate , because the 37 republicans with JIahono would be an oftset to 37 democrats with David Davis.

OTHER I.ANDS THAN OURS- Tlio national convention of the Irish Land League , whoso ocmion in Dublin has attracted wiclo and descrv- ! od interest on account of ttio largo' ' jjiiumborA of rcprejsontivo men in the body and the policy outlined by its leader , Mr. Piirnell. Mr. I'arnell bo-f i aii his npccch with the ivssortion that Irbland v/ill never bo prosperous 01 ontoutod until her people enjoy the right of nolf-govcnimont. Ho do- iKjunccd the coercion act m n measure "founded upon fraud , devised in i pirlt of malignant hypocrisy nnd ox [ ccutcd for the gratification of private vindictivonesi. " Ho declared that irhilo ono man is detained in prison under the coercion act the condition the people cannot bo considered a * improved. Ho averred that the land juostion will never bo nt rest until thu landlords are abolished and the tiller owns tlio noil. Ho proposed that the farmer shall sot aoido { portion of his land for the use of the /laborer half an aero of tilled land jjfor each thirty acrca in the farm "pending further legislation tor en abling laborers to become owners of Jand. " Ho urged the people to flonly articles of Irish manufac ture , and purposes to usaist EL- ind encourage homo industries. Of course Mr. Par n ell is about to ap peal to Amuriun for aid in his now ng itation. It may as well bn said that ho will fail to meet the response- which lie anticipates. If there was the slightest possibility that an independent pendent national existence could bu guaranteed to Ireland no people ivould rejoice more greatly than the Americans. But political leaders must look at facts , not dreams. The fact is that Ireland is an important part of n great empire as much aj part of great Britain as South C.iroli-l na is of the United State * . England ! would as soon consent to the mdcpcn-i Jonco of Ireland as America to the ! locossion of South Carolina. This is ) a question that is governed by consld-B orations of high national aa'foty. En-j gland knows that if Inland were free to-morrow aho would become the ally or the tool of any continental powoi that chose to make war upon the crown. She knows that there is a largo portion of the Irish people the thrifty , pious , industrious class in the north espec allp who would regard socessioi : 'rom .England . as an unspeakable calamity and would resist it to the irorgo of civil war. She feels as much irido in the integrity of her empire is wo do in the integrity of our ro public. For Irishmen in America , ; heroforo , to consributc money to sup > ort BO dreamy and . ; hopolcsn MI ui atton is worse than folly. What irishmen should demand ia that they ihould hnvo the same liberty in home iffairs as Now York and South Caro- inn enjoy under our federal constita ion. An agitation for this would be iraclical and sensible. There is no loubt that if. Irishmen patriotically uid zealously press these reforms up- 3ii the attention of the British gor- rnment other beneficent mcasurcb fill follow the passage of the land Dill. The revolt in Eaypt Booms to have oecn occasioned by causes much the mme as those which led to the revolt n Bulgaria and Balkan peninsula. fhoro is a longing desire for Homo tort of representative institutions ; not whut sort none of the eastern aaoplo exactly know or care , but they vant freedom from personal domina ion and something which will give n iart of the rosulta which they sou are wrought about in the west. The ; it outbreak in Egypt is the cul nination of a scries of ovants.

Moreover , there is a strong ifcolint ; against the foreign rulers ol t , nnd , as the Levant Ilorahl wgyosta in n recent number , the im proasion has been created that the Uiaz cabinet consists only of n sot of puppota of which foreigners hold the ? strings.

The inodo of conducting election1) in Europe are varied and quito inter- 'jstiiig in their details RJ regards the expenses of contests In Austria the ! expenses o ! elections to the roicliDrathj ire berne entirely by the state , the ] candidates defraying only their per- ! aonal canvassing charges , which arc alight. Voters are not to bo treatec or convoyed to the p'olling places ; am" if the supporters of a candidate choose to bear his expenses these must be confined to such trifling charges as advertising , stationary and'postage. . In Hungary the official expenses arc also berne by the state , and they arc said to bo so insignificant as to be scarcely taken into consideration. Corrupt practices arc , however , said to bo common in apito of a law passed in 1874 for their suppression. In Bel gium the communes bear the expenses , except those of the hustings , which are furnished by the government on the condition of their being maintained and i kept iu repair. In France , on ; ho contrary , the local authorities- put to no expense whatever , the state laying oven for everything that ia published relating to the electoral ista as well as for notices to electors [ n the Gorman empire the general ox jonsea of elections are defrayed by ; ho provinces , municipalities and dis ricts ; but it is understood that olec ions involvt ) expunditure of money > y the candidates , and a general clcc .ion for the rcichstag does not cost less Jian ono million marks for ea-h side , u Italy the expenses of contested slections are paid out of the fund of .ho . chamber of deputies.

These ofli- : ial notifiations neglect to say n vord about the conversation ook place on the oubjcot of socialism avorywhoro in general and in France mrticular. As almost every large city in either Russia or Germany con ; ains moro determined socialists than can bo found in the whole of France , hia conversation may seem to have jooa unnecessary between two rola ivcs who had not soon each other foi rears and did not have much time ou ; heir h-'iuls > .Un they mot , but even rulers of ( jroat nations may sometimoi ind that the easiest way of avoiding mploasant home topics is to drop into criticinm of their neighbors.

Can any of the readers of Tlio Reg slcr give us the name of the author sf the beautiful lines quoted above ? They are destined hereafter to hold companionship with Lincoln's favorite poem , "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Bo Proud. " [ t seems strange almost to prophecy hat Garflcld should quote them in his way in his youth. Thus holding ibovo all value the symyathy and love of friends ho lived to receive years tfter , an'd when his lifo was closing , juch a measure of human love and sympathy as ivas never offered mortal man before. Piosldent G.arflold's Church. The opinion has been expressed that there is something "queer" in the religion of the Christian church to nrhich President Gartield belonged and many people are inclined to adopt this opinion. That there is no cause for luch a belief in evident from the ivords of Alexander Campbell , who in L833 wrote in reply to a question : 'A complete scriptural reformation is irgcd and defined ; having for its ipocified object to inculcate and : educe to practice that simple mginal form of Christianity , ex- grossly exhibited on the sacred ; mce ; ; without attempting to in- : ulcato anything of human authority , ) f private opinion , or inventions of nen , as having any place in the con- ititutipn , faith , or wisdom of the Christian church , or anything as mater - ; or of Christian fait or duty , for which herre cannot bo expressly produced a thus saith the Lord , ' either in ex- ircss terms or bj * approved precedent. " Simplicity , indeed , seems to bo the nain characteristic of the creed of the hurch if such it could bo called.
