The London corrcspondent of the New York World writes that tho resignation of Bismarck ‘means that o has recoived a very docided check from tho Court. . According to his statoment, the whole Court beceme alarmed ot Bizmarck's conlict with the ‘Catholic Church, and his at- tempt to mako the entire Cabinet subsersient to ‘himself did not suit the other Ministers and the Emperor. The Emperor was weaned from hiz -submission {o Bismiarck's will by the united in- fluence of tho Emprass, the Crown Princo and Princess, and his old frionds, who forcsaw that Bismarck's course would eventnally alionate from_tho Throno the nobility, the gentry, the clergy, and all tho conservative intérests of the Empiro. The Chanecllor then offered to re- sign, not expecting that the Emperor would ac- cept theresignation. Tn this, however, Lo was disappointed, us the resignation was promptly sccepted. If these are tho real factsin the caso, 1t siguifies that the end of tho Church conflict is approaching.

' Dr. McCosh, Preeident of Princeton Collegs, at the recent opening of tho second term of that institution, made his uenal address, in the course of which he geve his hoaitickt indorse- ‘ment to the schemo for tho reform ‘of the Civil “Service, and wrged the importance of takinga pretty high literary standard in tho competitive examinations, upon the gromnd that it womd secure men of undoubted ability, and would slso sfford a guaranteo that the ‘applidants had ot spent their carly yeara fn indolénce aud vice. Dr.- McCosh furthormore believes that, if the test. is' proporly epplied, it will be a powerful mewns of - promoting educa- tion. The best . educated States will roceive the largest number of appointments, and tho other States will bo spurred up to equal them. Schoold and colloges’ will bo instituted, a5 thoy ero in Germany, fo trein young men for the public service: Ho also belicves thiat when the country offers its places to the ablest men, and: pays them sccording to their ability, one cause oftle public corruption. will be removed. According to the Doctor, “tho time has now come for proclaiming that it ia cheapest to pay men in public offices &t much the s2mo rato as men in private offices.” 7 Sonatars Wilson and Patterson, end Repre- “sentatives Bingham, Scofield, and Eelley wero bofore the Credit Mobilier Committes yestorday. iVilaon eays ihat hé bought twenty shares of the stoclk with bis wife's mone§, on Ames’ guaranteo that it should pay 10 per cent, and his assurance that the Company was not coming to Gongress foraid.

Bingham gave Ames £2.000 to invest for him in Credit Mobilier and other stock, which,—euch is the unquestioning confidencs of Congressmen in one another,—ho naver asked to havo delivered toLim. He made £G,500. Scoficld wanted some of the stock, but the negotiations failed and he did not get ‘zny.

It doos not in- clude auy cost for etationery, which aggregato £36,000, nor pay for jurors, £82,000, nor coal, gas, water, nor any supplios for the hospitals, asylums, nor poorhouse. It is simply the pay-~ roll of wages. Against this billof sslaries wo Davo the following estimalos of fees, which will be turned into the County Treasury undor the law: » Circuit Court fees, .. 3,200 Tecorder's oflice. 63,000 8,000 Sheriff’’s.

The reader will observe that tho salaries of tho Shorill’s office aggregato $36,000, and that the entiro foos of that office which are to be paid into the County Treasury amonnt to but £9,000. Arewe to understand by this that the Sheriff’s offizo Lias been run at & loss to tho Sheriff of £25,000 n.year? If the present Sheriff and all Lis prodecessors only obtainad 88,000 in fees from the office, Low did they manage to pay £36,000 salaries without being yuined - by the ‘operation? 1If the Sherifl’s offico has been run heretofore ata profit upon tha fees alone, why is it that it cannot be dono now, without an addi- tional cost of 23,000 from the Trossury ? Tho ninth section of tho tonth articlo of tho Consti- tution can only bo construed correctly by re- quiring that all the salaries of the Sheriffs ofiive shall ‘be paid oxclusively ont of tho feas of tho office. It was never intended that merel; tho salary of the Shorif alone should bo pai out of such fees. The Constitution intended that that office in this county ehould not only poy its own way, but be a source of revenue to tho'county. Instead of that, the office hasboen made an oxpenso to tho county of over $23,000, in addition to the fees. Not one dollar in excess of the fees of tho oftica should b paid for sal- aries to the Sheriff and his Daputies. . THE MELLIER PATENT SWINDLE. Tho intolligenco comes from New York and Washington thot thore is to bo snother effort to renew the Mellior (straw paper) patent, which ex- pired by limitation some fivo years ago, af & {imo when it was the property of the Amorican Wobd Paper Company, of Philadelphia. Tho schemo for renewing this monopolyis even more outrageous than that which contemplates the renewal of {he sowing machine patents, ns will Do discovered from a brief recital of its history- “The full onefits of tho original patont wero en- joyed, and, at the timo of its legal expiration,” there was not found sufficiont merit in the caso 10 justify tho Commissioner of Patents in renew- ing it. Bubsequently, the Commissioner mado ax effort to rouew it, but found himself stopped by tholaw. Those intercsted in the monopoly thercupon’ dotormined, 28 wo understand the cas3, to prolong their exclusive beuefits by se- curing the passago of alaw propared with tho purpose of covering this particular case. Tho proposed law provides that a lapse between the torminalion of 4 patont and any ronerwal that the Commissionor may seo fit to muke subsaquently will nob vitlate such renewal. Convinced' that thoy conld not come beforo Congress directly for 2 ronowal with claims that would demand recog- nitiou, “the owners of< the Mellior (straw paper) patent evidently supposed that they would escape dotection uudor, a general law. But this general law would work gross injustice to the people, not cnly in this patic- -ular case, but in many cases that now exist, and in others that may ariso at any time. Itis evidont that the American Wood Papar Company wero not entitled to an extension of their oxclusiva priviloges ot the expiration :of tho pelent which they owned, as_such an ex- tension was not given ob that time. Thon ‘they aro stiil loss entltled to It now, when five yests havé elapsed; during which time millions of dol- fars havo beon invested in ‘mew mills for the manafacture of paper; which would not hayd ‘been invested exeept upon tho faith that tho exclusive privileges of the old *patent ware' at an end. The American Wood Paper Company,for the purpose of strengthening its lobbying powers and .its ability to enforce its privileges, is said to hieve granted to s few-other’ mills the gratuitons uzo'of the Mellior patent, if it can borencwed, taua forming & powerful ring that, would inovitsbly crush ons. the competing mills, which would be forcod topay rogalty upon it. Tho compotition, thus” stified, the “ring” menufacturers would proceed to raise the prico of tho peper, which, in some form or other, i3 now almost exclusively used by the newapapers tlroughout the country. . This con- | ctusion brings the maiter dircetly to the poo- pld. Whito paper is one of the largest items of expense in' publishing newspapers; the very largest in the case of country and weck-: Iy journals which make no uso of the telegraph.. The peoplo of the whole country are interested in tho defest of the Mcllicr patent scheme to the extent that they are interested in chicap and sccessible newspapers. Tho rerewal of the patent would, in & ehort time, raise the price of whito paper at least two conts a pound. A paper of the sizo of TrE Cmcaco Taisyxe will averaze, | railroads.

Inzn edition of 50,000 copics, then, tho advance of two cents per pound would 2dd 8100 a dsy, or $36,500 a year, to the expense ‘of publishing euch a journal. 'This amount, of course, would have to be made good eventuzlly .by tho people, either in an advance of subscrip- tion price or in the advance of advortising rates, just as the people aro paying for the tariff on iron in excessive freight and psssage on the would fare worse than the people of the large cities, for it is probeblo that laigs numbers of their county newspapers would:be forced to dis- continuo publication altogether. It shoald, Tewspapers, to which many.of them might be opposed, but as representing the intercsts of the people,—to defeat the scheme for renewing tho Mellir patent, in whatever shape it msy como, m———— THE PACIFIC RATLROADS. Under the various acts of Congress which have been passed concerning tho Pocifio Rail-’ roads, tho United States have been lett to pay ‘the interest on their own bonda issned as a sub- sidy to tlo soveral xonds, Whon the roads got into "operation, the Becretary of tho Trenmury refusod to pay tho bills of the Companies for the ‘ransportstion of troops end supplies, and passed tho amount of such bills to the credit of the soveral Companies on their unpaid interest account, The railroads at onoo appoaled to Congress, and tho Benate attached to the Army Appropriation bill, two years 8go, & Proviso that tho roilroads should be paid 50 per cent of their bills in cash, and this became tho law. On Tuesday, tho Flousoin Committeo repesled thia proviso, Itmay be of interest to the public to know how this interest account on these rail- ways now stands. On the 1stof July, 1872, tho account stood as follows Int, paid Deducted for Bal. due Ratlvoads, WS, trasaporis, to U. 5.

It occurred at Stuttgart, Wurtom- berg. on the 10th of Inst month. This Iady was one of the most suoccessful of American novel- ists. The davghter of William Crane, s promi- nent merchant of Baltimore, she was born in that- city Jan. 7, 1533, her family on the side Colonial times. Miss Crane roceived an excel- lent education and then passed several years in Europe, where she devoted hergelf to the study of tho German snd Italian langasges, and their literature. Hor idess were firgt turped toward novel-writing when she was sbout 20 years old,. by sssociations with a composition class. Sho sat down to write 2 book without any special drill or prepargtion,. and that “Emily Chester” was tho rerult was littlo less than a wonder nnder the ciicumstan- ces. Bhe herself spoke of it 28'“'a _greater sur- prige-to me than it conld have beento any one else.” Tho manuscript was put away, and it was not until fivo years later that it was_pub- lished by Ticknor ‘& Ficlds, of Boston. The book créated s genuine sensetion ; ten editions were rapidly printed in this country, four- edi- tions in'England, ond a translation in Leipsic still it wad Impossible for the . baok- gellers to.supply the demand” for some time. In- 1867, s. novel ' was annonnced under the titla of *Opportunity—A.- Novel: By.tho Author of ‘Emily Chester,’” ‘which slso met with large snccess. . In 1871, .* Reginald Archor’ was publiehed. from the sxme pen, but it failed to excite equal attention. 1fiss Crane was mar- ried, in 1869, to Mr: Angustus Seamuller, & New York gentlemon of largo mosns. . She had long been an invalid, ind was taken to Germany about 2 year ago in the_hope of improving her health, Besides her three novels, Mrs. Seemullor has been a frequent -<rontributor to the: leading American magazines. - —_— § A very interesting discovery has lately bee mad, it is stated, by an Italian, who claims that ke can- tune nerves intd harmony, like harp strings.

A CHURCH BURNED. The MNost Destructive Fire Since Oct. 9,187, The First Congregational Chvurch_in Ruins. Nothing Remaining butt " the Bare Walls. Loss About $170,000--=In- surance, $118,000. The Conflagration Occasioned by a Defective Flue. Meeting of the Congregation While the Building Was Still in Flamzs, The Tiustees Directed to Prepare Estimates for a New Church, Letters of Consolation Received from Sister Socities. ORIGIN AND DISCOVERY. Tho First Congregational Church, situsted on tho southweet corner of Ann and West Washing- tou streets, was totally destroyed by fire early last ovening. The first of tho new series of con- certa by the Oratorio Society was to have beon given in the church last -evening, and Rev. Robert Laird Collier was to have delivered his Becthovon oration, The Oratorio Society secms to be tho spectal victim-of fire. ‘It suffered once by the burning of Farwell Hall; five winters 830, and in tae great fireit lost its rooms, piano, and music. This last - fire has affected it with equal severity, for it had its rooms in the church building, and all its property was stored in them, Its library and music, consisting of oratorio, orchestral, and vocal scores, all, or at lenst tho greater portion,of which was donated toit by the Handol and Haydn Society, of Bos- ton, immediately after the great fire, have beon entirely destroyed, and cannot be speedily re- placed. Financislly considored, tho loss -on offects is not vory hesvy, though the Society loses quito a large sum by tho _interruption to its first concert sincea yesr ago last Octobor. The entertsinment promised to yield s hand- gomo - return. Even at the -early hour when the fire made its appearance there were several persons anxiously waiting in front of the church for the doors to open. The janitor visited the church'shortly after 6 o'clock tostoke tho fires in the farriaces, and mako the building comfortable. Z TE SMELLED SMOKE, and saw it issuing from a partition nest one of tho heaters in the north end of the building. Ho immediatoly ran to the spot, and. discov- ering quite o blaze, oxerted himself to put it out. Very litile water was availablo, but he procured enough to apparently squelch tho flames. While congratulating himsclf upon the narrow escape, the flames burst forth enew, and communicated to & wooden ventilation flue™ leading to the roof, up toward which tlie fire was rapidly drawn.by currents of air. The janitor mow realized that it * was useléss to romain longer in the church, and sccorgingly |rapidly mado his _exit. Tho flames baying ‘mounted to the roof, fonnd ample’ food in the numerous wooden trusses which supportod it, snd soon mado fheir appear- ance to pedestrians on Washington strect. Other persons walking on Madison street simultaneous- ly observed the iire, and - - - . AN ATARY WiS GIVEN from Box No. 812, corner of that thoroughtaro and Aberdeen strest. The district stoamers, five in number, reached tho. sceno_ about 7 oclock, the alarm baving been sounded about ten ‘minutes before. Nearly the whole edifice was by this time ablaze, the air was full of large fiakes. of fire, and o strong .wind blowing from~ tho morth. Directly sonth of the church, facing Ann streot, aro threa, or four frame buildings, and in tho rear of them .many sheds and barne. On the opposite sido of the street are other simi wellings. Tho roofs of these structures became covered with sparks, | by which it is covercd. Dr. Thompson's resi- contained was taken out ata time when it was thought that t=o whole neightcrkood was doom- ed to destruction, and in the transier it suffered slightly. Boyond this, Mr. Goodwin met with no poreonal loss. His -library, as menticned elscwhero, was saved from the burning church, and it is safo to say that he would rather witness the'demolition of his houschold furniture thaa Davo his valuablo coliection of books eaten u by iio flames. A framo residence on tho sant €nd of the churoh, on-Ann streot, and & number of barns bolonging thercto, also escaped without |- georch, though TMMENSE TOLUMES OF SNOSE burst over its roof from the large circular window dence, on the southeast comner of Washington and Ann etroats, jured in the early part of the fire. The damage consisted mainly of - broken windows and dronched furniture. Nono of tho other build- ings on the east sideof Ann strect wore affected, though the wind drove the heat and flame in that direction. When the rapidity with which the fire sprend in tbe interior of the church,” and the inflammable material of -which tho neighborhood is constructed, are teken into con- sideration in connection with THE BITTER COLD WEATHER and the difficnlties encountered by the fremen in moving about on the ice-covercd streets and sidewalke, the manner in which the fire was confinéd by the Marshals and subordinates can- not but be commended as unusually skilful work, - THE POLICE FORCE, in attendsnce at the fire was suMficiently ample to perform the dutics expected of policsmen . in. such cases, and its efficiency caunot be ques- tioned, especially as the Firc Depariment made 10 complaints of being cruwded upon by specta- tora. Caplain French personally superintended the movements of his branch of the municipal sorvice. - WHAT MARSHAY, WILLILYS BAYS. 5 - Whilo conversing with the Chief Firo AMarshal at tho firo, & rcporter of Tix TnIpUNE loarned {from him that he never considered the heating arrangements of the church to be entirely safa. Ho spoke about them when they wero being con- structed, and advised the builders and Trustees 10 protect surrounding woodwork at the expenss of ornnment. Thoy do not appear to. have fol- lowed his conncil 1n every particaiar. 3 AT MIDNIGHT the locality of tho firc was still litup by the glaze of the ruined intorior. Fivzmen still hov- ered about like spectres (healthy spectres, how- over), and somo ateamers wera still in motion. ‘The condition of the walla had not béen materi- ally changed from tho timo when the roof fell in, Qieplacing in its fall somo of the lighter ‘stones in the capings of tho gables. Ina few places on the Annstrect front of the church the el have been slightly cracked and the mason- ry chipped by the heat. It does not seem prob- able, in tho ovent of tho walls being fonnd porfectly safo when thoy cool off, that the re- pairs to exterior masonry can cost more thana few thousand dollars. THE SCENE. At o distanco from tho church, the flames, shooting -out-from the windows, burned with a slow and steady glara. Thero was little wind to blow them into & white heat at firet ; and the effect of tho Ateady, almost dignified columns was indescribable. From the two windows, ab tho north and at the esst, the flamos poured forth in ‘porfoct masses. Tho wind incroased, end the flamea rose higher yot. Tho elating of tho roof crumblod o fragments ; tongues of fire wera visiblo bero and thero ‘all over the surface for'a fow minates, and then the wholo building seemod to bo wrappod in a sheet of flame, which, BLOWN TO A WHITE XSTEZ?S‘:T’! of heat, it up the surronnding meighborhood with a glaro which recalled to mind the most ‘pleturesque offects of the October dizaster. In- deed, tho building at one time, with tho flames pouring oitt of ‘tho dormor windaws, reminded one very forcibly of the old Chamber of Com- morcs building ss it first burnod, before the sheot of flame_onwrapped it. To s spectator stending on Auin street, north of Washington, it socmed s if tho wholo of the square, 39 for- 2@ Madison stract, had yiclded to the heat, so dazzlingly bright Wwas the blaze of this fmmonse structure.
