J WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Wauixoto, D. O. July 10, 1878. I have not maoh in the shape of news to offer yon this moraine. No murders, no suicides, no oonflagra tions, nor any destructive inundations. It some tender-hearted villain, could soob be found, were only convinced of the great dearth of sensational oo currenoes, be would certainly do someihing to supply the demand of the publio taste lor something nnasu al Bat since we can't stiok fairly to the truth and ventilate some tale of horror, we must rest content with the Custer affair for the present and ooou py our spare time in praying ior Grant and all others who are sup posed even in a remote degree to have had an agency in that, unfortu nate affair. One would naturally 'la ter that our people had had a gentee sufficiency of war and battles in the past few years, but such seems not to be the case, judging by the large nura ber of volunteers from all parts ot the country who are now offering their services to the government in its trouble with the Sioux. Gen. Shed dan has telegraphed to Gen, Sherman that he has heard from Gen. Crook, who only waits for reinforcements to cove against the Indians. Gen. Mer- ritt will join him in a few days and we may soon expect to hear of anoth er battle. The Senate had op the river and harbor bill on Saturday, and wore oc oupied most of the day in discussing it. Several amendments increasing appropriations for new works w'ere agreed to, making the sum total ap propriated by the bill over ten mill ions of doHars. In the House the bill in relation to the protection of the Texan frontier and tbe difficulty witb the negroes in Hamburg, South Carolina, on the 4th inst. were the principal subjects of discussion. Ine last led to a lively debate, during which Mr. Cox of New York and Mr. Hartridge of Georgia very oleorly Bhowed that the whole affair was gotten up by carpet baggers for party purposes and political effect. Mr. Hayes' letter of acceptance is attracting much attention. The Sun day Herald of yesterday says : "As tbe Sunday Herald is published in the interest ot truth end the welfare of the whole American people it cannot follow tbe example of some of Us oo temporaries in an attempt to dispar age and misrepresent the letter of ac ceptance. There is no denying the truth that it Is in some respects an ex cellent letter, and that in his declara tions in favor of a permanent and non political civil service, against the vice of patronage and against the use of the spoils of office to secure a second E residential term, Gov. Hayes has set is face against the worst and most corrupt elements in our political life. Thus while Gov.' Hayes in his letter enunciated good sentimo-nts it also en ables us to easily find reasons why be should not be elected. His fine prom ises of reform, which he perhaps sin cerely feels, will be as weak as water in tbe face of the machinery of bis par ty. Already we see a campaign com mittee with Zachanah Chandler at its head and Bill Kemble, of 'addition, division and silence' notoriety, pre paring the corrupt machinery for sti fling the people's will and defeating Tilden and truthful and much needed reform." They will exact contribu bulions from all office holders with a rigor never before known: they will compel every clerk not only to con tribute from bis meagre pay, but to go home at his own expense and vote ; they will demand and secure the dis missal ot every employe of the gov ernment who cannot be made an effi cient instrument in tbe election. Does any sane person believe that those wbo ire setting t ns powerful mach ne- ry to work entertain the slightest fear thatt'-eir President; if elected, will or can prevent them from reaping the reward ot their labor 7 They know from tbe nature ot things, and from the teachings of experience, that Mr. laves' resolves will melt away like flax in the fire when the day of pres sure comes on. With party major ity in Congress, or even in the Sen ate, be wo aid bo as powerltwa as An drew Johnson was. The tenure ot of fice act would enable the Senate oli garchy to retaiu all their creatures in power. It is therefore only necessa ry lor any intelligent friend of civil service reform to btfieve in the tenti ments of Hayes' letter of acceptance to ardsnlly desire the election ot Til den. Nimo. Oo. of th. German papers of Ohio, th. Cincinnati Vollufrtictd, aay : "If it is sham reform to rodace the tax burdens of the peo ple, then Tilden is ihaot reformer."

As regards Mr. Tilden himself, when tbe questions before the country are the rpform nf tha AdminiarratiMi of the currency, and of the system of taxation, and the restoration of the supremacy of the law over all officers of tha Government, there would, if he were not the nominee of the Demo cratic party, and had not been one of its leaders since I860, be in our minds little difficulty in deciding that he is the man for the Presidency. Of his ability to fight the prevailing forms of corruption, of his courage and determination in doinir it. even when tho offenders are men of his own po litical faith, ho has given an excellent example in the Governorship of New York. That he is fully master of the currency question, ana a consummate man of business, and a lawver of no ordinary talent, and especially that sort Of talent which shows itself best in dealing with the knottv and intri. cate problems of affairs, are things wen auown 10 an woo are at an familiar with his charaster or career, The belief whioh has widely pre vailed that he would, in any political piace oi great power or proht, be sur rounded oy tho worst element of the Democratic party, seems to have been sufficiently refuted by the fuot that this elemont is nowhere so stronz as in his own State, and that there, nevertheless, he has not hesitated to engage in bitter warfare with it, and to incur its unrelenting hostility. Its adherence wtll probably never bo so valuable to him again as it would have been at St. Louis, and there. nevertheless it was arrayed against Dim. in snort, conceding that a man may work for the Presidential nomi nation for himself, nothing can well be more honorable than the means by which Mr. Tilden secured it. He has been, in tbe position which he fills, the resolute pursuer of the Rings by which the knaves of both parties have made fortunes out of the canals; he has been the firm supporter of hard money in the teeth ot the infla tionist views ot a largo proportion of toe Uemocratio party ; and he has sought neither favor or accommoda tion from the New York faction which has brought so much discredit on the party. Finally, he has brought tbe party to speak out boldly, even if obscurely, in its platform in favor of specie payments and of civil ser vice reform, and to nominate its ableBt and least objectionable candi date, TIicbo are not services to himself or to his party simply ; they are ser vices to the whole country. Whether Mr. Tilden be elected or not, we are indebted to him for having raised politics to a higher levol, and for having wiped out as far it cau be wiped out by mere utterance, the national reproach that a party con taining nearly half tho voters was avowedly given over to obstraction or mischief, and occupied itself solely with lamenting the irretrievable and proposing the impracticable. As regards the platform, we feel bound to say that it seems to us greatly superior to that drawn tip at Cincinnati. In fact, to us, who be ieve that the great curses of the politics of the day are cant and insin cerity, and its great needs honesty and directness in speech and action, it is difficult to avoid placing the Demo cratic Convention, judged by its speech and action, on a higher moral plane altogether than tbe Republican. We say this while recognizing fully the higher average of character of the latter, and while acknowledging that the platfoim, being prepared by a small knot of men and adopted with out or witb but little discussion, cannot be surely taken to expeess even the average opinion of any con vention. But it must be admitted that tlx small knot which prepared the platform at St. Louis had appar ently more sharply defined convic tions about publio questions, and a deeper appreciation of tbe needs of the hour than the small knot which prepared the platform at Cincinnati, i We, for our part, consider the Democratic declaration in favor of civil reform, while as full as that of tho Republicans, more creditable as made by a party which is out of office, and which has not. like tbe Republican party, made one such declaration already, and then, with the mean, of carrying it into execu tion in its hands, not only falsified it, but through its leading men ridiculed it. As regards the demand in the St. Louis platform for the repeat of the re snmplioo act, we think it cannot be too severely condemned, even when coupled with a promise to resume specie payments by some other pro- ces; but this deman.i otjjecuonauic as it i. has nevertheless an honest rins about it compared with the de- liberate evasion by tbe Cincinnati; a . .f THIS Convention ol any mention of tbe act movements, and forwards . . at. W.a ... at all. when it was known to be tbe object of much attack, ana was putjnes, you can juug, now succesiui we ; on the statute book by the li"paUi a I A . a"-, ... and tergiversation, we think an out spoken anti-Mongolian plank Buch as me ucmocrais nave produced, is better evidence of a generally sound mom condition than the evasive ut terance by which the Republican party, with its devotion to equal ngnis, nas sougnt to produce the lm pression, while promising nothing, that it thought Mongolian immicra- tiou injurious to the State, and would ao something to stop it. Ana. unless platforms are to be ac km . 1 cepted as unmeaning bits of verbiage, to which we trust the people will never agree, we must contrast, to the heavy disadvantage of the Republi cans, their endorsement ot the pres ent scandalous Administration of General Grant with the indictment of it presented by the Democrats. Whatever be the character or ante cedents of the Democrats and how ever unlikely they may Je to do better themselves, what they say of uenerai urants Administration is true, or the language whioh honest men ought to use; while what the Republicans say of it is falso, And lavs anybody who says it, however pure or respectable, open to just and grave suspicion. In Bhort, it is not unfair to hold that any party which openly approves of that Administration is unfit at this crisis to rule the country. CUSTKK. HI. Last Vl.lt to tyaahl Mfc-ton and Call as in. wmi. iiouae. Washington Oorrwpondeno. of th. Cincinnati Com mercial. I met General Custer quite fre auentlv durinor his ntav in Washinrr. . n J ) ton. Not at my office, for he seemed to shrink from newspaper notoriety, and was peculiarly modest at all times, but at the residenco of a mutual friend, and very often at the Capitol He would call to me from an obsoure corner or quiet uook where he waited the summons ot tho committees who were examining him. and would talk to me of the manner in whioh he was being treated. He was like a man utterly dazed and confounded, who, performing a duty, had been punished for doing so. He did not oomnl in at all I but could not understand it ; and one could see that be was deeply lurt. lie concluded his business with all possible speed and hastened to rejoin bis command, lie was im patient to get back to the field, and as day after day passed by he regret ed that he was losing so much fine weather, whioh could be so well em ployed ir. fitting up and preparing for the contemplated expedition against the Sioux, whioh he had been given to understand he would lead. The imbiession he made was that he was thorough soldier, with all the pride of a soldier in his profession, and with a high solf respect, the natural result ot his grand record during and since the war. There was nothing boast ful or egoslical about him. He was quietly confident and at ease as one who knows his own strength. lie called at tbe White House twice to pay his respects, as the regu- ations require and, as his instincts prompted, to the President of the Uuited States, and the commander- in-ehief of tho army and navy. For hours he sat iu the antechamber, while pollicians and thieves came and went, finding audience. He frequent- y sent in his card, but the boor who is at the head ot tbe administration paid no attention to him. He was thus made to feel still more forcibly than ever tbe enormity of the offense lie bad committed in testifying truth fully as to what he knew of the frauds perpetrated by post-traders and their "pal" at the bead ot the war office How Tit. Indian. Oct Arm. and An auunUlon. 'rom tlx Burton Herald. An army officer in the Big Horn expedition wrote a letter to a friend in this city prior to the slaughter of Custer's command, from which we are permitted to copy as follows: "1 think this will be a very long and very tiresome campaign. . I doubt if we lee.our posts again before fall, it then. The scarcity of water adds much to our difficulties, and I think the country generally much worse than Arizona, the only growth for miles being the irrepressible cactus. Tbe Indians are very strong in num bers and splendidly armed, and they boast that they ean and will 'clean out' anything tbe United States ran send against them. Spotted Tail pretends to be friendly, and on tbe strength of it he goes to Cheyenne, buys 1 2,000 rounds of ammunition and returns to the agency with it. Tbe following day a fresh party. of Indians starts out fully equipped. Of the wisdom of allowing this proceed ing I say nothing. Ho was in Chey enne when we were there ou our inarch up. He picks up all the in for- . -a ination tie can get our it to his mends, II this sort ot thing c ntin ,bnl be. puny uBeii. ao, aiso. we will say frankly that, in these days of deceit THE ADVENT CHRISTIAN FAITH.' DEFINED BT ONI Ot THEMSELVES. ' The denomination of Christians' called Advent Christians is a young-' er body than many others, and is not as numerous as some other bodies.' Their principal center is now . in' Boston, Mass., where they publish a paper called the World's Vrisis, and have a Publication Society, whose" work and sphere of operation is en larging constantly. They have also' an organ in the West. The Advent Christian Timet, and several other ' papers are published disseminating' tneir views. 1 hey now number from ' fifty to seventy-five .thousand. It ' may be of interest to notice the sen timents of these people, as they have' awakoned considerable inquiry, and; there is a live question involved in ' the peculiar views of doctrine which ; they hold and disseminate. It will be seen by the followingsynopsis ' what these views are, and" wherein they agree with and dissent from the commonly received opinioif of the ' other religious bodies. They1 belioVe : : 1st. Ibat the Bible is the inspired word of God and as tho Assembly's ' CatechiRm has it, that it iff "the snffi-' cicnt and only rule of faith and prac tice." On this account they deem do formulated creed nodessary. , , 2nd. Ihey also believe that tbe tiue method Of biblical interpretation ' is that whioh recognizes literal lan-' guage as tbe basis ot all lingual ex pression, and tho key therefore to tho '' proper understanding of all rhetorical figures, and' they therefore repudiate the spiritualizing method of Origen and others, which they think is too ' likely to mislead by allowing too large a latitudo for fanoitul interpretation ;" for while they do admit that there ia ' a figurative use of language in tho Biblo as in other books, they do not ' think it allows a departure from the sense ot the literal as a basis. 3d. They understand that all tho doctrines' of tho Bible are taught first in literal Ianguago as well as ia figures of rhetoric. 4th. They believe that the "wages of siu is dpath" in the literal sense, and that death, as now iu tbe world, ' was brought to the raco by the sin of Adam. 5th. They bolieve, thereforb, that man was made liable to be sontenoed to death, and that when sontenoed, there was no reprieve for him or his raco. but that when sentenced and ' dead there was no consciousness in ' that death, for "the dead know not' anything" they think 'according to the Scriptures. 6th, They believe that Jesus ' Christ came to redeem tho race from ; this death, and to open the way for ' eternal life to believers by a resurrec tion from the dead, whioh they think is tho only way for future life. 7th. They do not think that the Biblo teaches tbe immortality of the ' soul or tbo endless misery of the4 wicked. 8th. Tlioy believe that in the res--' nrrection all, both good and bad, will be raised and judgod, and that the ' wicked will then he destroyed, and cease to live and sin, and that this ' must be because they think sin and , misery cannot exist without end in ' the government of God without re- ' p roach to the omnipotence of Jeho- ' van. Oth. They believe this resurrection ' and judgment will bo at tho second coming of Jesus Christ, who will then reign on the earth after it has passed through a change by fire, and that there will be then not a blot or speck or stain on tbe government of God, ' or that God will then fully vindicate himself and present the spectacle of a government treed from the last ves- . tiges of evil, and holiness and purity will be alone the characteristic of all the living in the universe, all evil coming to a perpetual end. lbey believe that there are eviden ces, physical, political and moral, to indicate that that day of God is ', nearing, and that Jesus will soon ' come.
