Tho Intornational Society---Its Re- markoble Growth and Future ° Expeotations, A Millionaire Reduced to Four Pennies-~ Extraordinary Pride Under Ad- verse Circumstances. A Famous Painting on a Descending Sealo' s«-SUmulnting Reminiscenco of Daniel Webster, From Our Own Correapondent., ¥ Nxw Yonx, Aug. 31, 1879, Talking, the othor day, with an intelligent mechanio, who has boen for years a ward-poll- tlcinn, I learnod & good doal about’ the Inter- patioualists in this country that I had not sus- pocted. Mo s0id ho did not himself belong to tho socloty, but he knew mauy porsons who did; that its’ membors woro going to bo moro and more o power in tho Iand, and contained an element of strougth which Is not st all undor- stood. . g FOEEENT AND YUTURY OF THE INTERNATIONALE. My informant added that the organization waa blrictly socrot (whon I asked bim how ho hod goined ‘his knowledgo ho deolined to say more than that ho' was sure’ of his facts), and that the majority of tlio mombors aro nowilling to bo known as such, on account of the bitter prejudico which would then ‘bo falt toward thom by capitalists and employors. Tho Internation- alisty have Incronsed immonsely in the Ropublic during tho paat fifteon months, and ho is confl- dont thoy number not far from 50,000 in this Stato,—~nonrly half of whom are o the Metropolis slone,—whilo ‘they have sugmonted proportionately elsewhere. Thoy aro composed, ospecially in thia city, of all na- tionalltios—~Amoricans, English, Irish, Fronch, Germans, Ttolinns, Spanish, and avon negroos. Tho Irish Roman-Oatholics havo genorally been unwilling to join the order in consequonce of their drond of the priosts, and thoso who go to confousion regularly havo refused to take the oath. But recontly many of the laxer sort have become membors, and by thia act have thrown off what the Intornationaliats call tho infa- ‘mous tyranny of priostoraft, which passes with il superatitious for religious faith.” The Internationalists, as a body, are repro- sontod as the most ultra radicals in theology and politics, who plodge thomsolves to support the society at all hazards, and to eurronder ev- ory outsidoe interest to ita-advantago, Tho load- Ing apirits horo are Gormans and a fow Ameri- cans, who bonst that they have discarded tradi- tion and authority, and learned to think and nct. for thomselyos. 178 FOLITIOAL BRARING, 1t 18 farther said that most of the Internation- alists here sro, or havo been, Democrats, but that they hope eithor to havo a party of their own, or to become connocted with some- othor ‘which shall ropresent the largest fresdom in everything, and the fullest rights of the indi- vidual. Thoy aro, of course, for Isbor and laborors agalnst capital and capitalists; will etoully opposo all monopolios, direct taxation, roteotion, and the loast tendency to contraliza~ ion. They claim that they are the truo Dom- ocrats, and that, ou, their 1dons as o basis, will rigo the party of the tuture, oven if they do not »make the party themselves.' Should they not be strong enough to stand alone by tho noxt Pros- idontial elaction, thoy. will probably co-oporate with the farmors, aud resist, to tho utmost, the encroachments of tho railways. Judging from what I hear, they aro pushing.so steadily and rapidiy to the front that thoy muat scon bo strongly folt in politics, and exorcise, porhaps, a vontrolling influerico. Tho chiofs of the Internationalista onthis gide of tho sen aro in constant correspond- snco with those in Eutopo, and; 8o far a8 possible, Bro soting in oon- eert, ‘Tha former _ aro_ encouraging the lattor to omigrate, by declaring that this is the Iand of the future, tho one Government on earth whero the workman has somo prospoct of securing his rights, Tho ballot-box can accom= plish bero moro_than revolutions thore, snd phalo.”” Tho eame firm of picturo~dealors has bought and sold tho painting not leas than four differont , timen.

The Ashantco King nnd flis Peoploss Some Facts in Regard to the Present African War«=Lifo in Ashantoe. From the London Times. In Ashanteo the King nover joina his army “excopt on acensions when the full strength of tho Ashantes power is to be put forth, and in pursuance of some solemn vow, and when ho doea 80 ho is always accompanied by some of his groater Chiofs, who nover take tho fleld except tho King does 6o in porson, and whose contin- gonta largoly strongthen his army. Koffee Cal- calll, the present King of the Ashnantacs,’ {8 now now in his 80th year, snd is the eighth monarch who has rulod ovor the Ashanteos sinco | tho doath of the great Bai Tootoo, the foundor of tho Ashanteo powor, and tho groatost of their Kings and warriors. Bal Tootoo is the first of tho Ashantee Kings of whom we havo any corfain rocord. Deforo his time the Ashanteos wore an obscuro people, struggling for powor with numerous rival tribos in tho interior, but at his death, which happenod sbout the year 1700, thoy had obtained a com- plote suporiority over all of their noighbors, and enjoyod a wide dominion, After along carcor of conquest, Bal Tootoo was surprised and slain by tho Akims, o neighboring tribe with whom ho 'was at war, at tho battls of Coromantes, which wag fought on & Friday, His donth is still kopt fresh in tho memory of tho Ashantoos, and the most awful oath sn Ashantos can tako s their famous onth, '*Mominda Coromantes,” or, “By Coromariteo Saturday,” by which thoy imply that if they disregard it thoy may bo doemed to have 1o rogrot or rogard for tho fato of Sal Tootoo. ‘every foreigner whe reaches theso shores adds to the strength of the cause in which his hopes aro contred. ‘Thero oan bo no donbt, even if this account be exaggorated, thab the Internationalists are in- croséing rapidly.; feol covfident of sccomplishe ing grent clianges, and of benofiting in count- less ways the condition of tho laboring classes. The danger is from arch-demagogues, of whom ‘we have 8uch & suporsbundant supply, and who 'will bo more radical thau the most radical the moment thoy percoive that anything is to bo gained from playing a now part. Demagogues are inclined to bolieve in Cardinal Do Retz's maxim, that Moro ?raut qualitics aro requred to becomo the Obief of a groat party thauo to be Emperor of tho universe ; and for the reason that they imagine they posscss just sucha ca- pacity. . BAD DEATH OF AN OLD MERGHANT. Not long ago, an eldorly gontleman, B. B. Williame, thirty years siuce & wealthy mor- shant in this ~ city, died at the Astor House, where ho had boon boarding not far from =& quarter of a century, Ho was oyer 70, and full of reminiscences of Noew York in the past days. His momory was excellent, and, as he abouunded in anccdaté of public men, losding merchants, prominent bankers, eccentric characters, an famous aotors, ho was a _remarkably-interesting talkor. Ho usod touay that noarly all the men who wora on the stage of action when ho was in the prime of life had departad, except Willlam B. Astor, Aloxander T'. Btewart, Ailliam Oullen Bryant, and Thurlow Weed. At one time worth a million of dollars,—n great deal of money aa long ago as 1835,—he failed in 1846, and compro- miged with his croditors, .They were mo well sntisfled with bis intogrity and ability that thoy wauted him to go on; but ke deolined, and ro- tired from business altogetlior, After two yoars he wearied of inactivity, and obtained o position in the Comptrollor's oilice as bookkeoper, at a salary of £1,200 per annum, and It is gnid that the King of Ashanteo has sworn the “Mominds Coromanteo” oath to drive the English out of Elmira, Cape Const, or pro- long tho war for threo yoars. Tho first record of the Ashantoes appoars in tho official Journals of Cape Coast Castlo, in the yoar 1765, the council thon passing a rosclution to obsorve strict noutrality betweon tho Fantoos and the Ashantoes in o war thon raging botween them. During tho roigu of 8ai Tootoo Quamina, who camo to tho throne in the year 1800, tho firat war with the English occurred. _After somo fruitloss negotiations, Bir Chorlos M’'Carthy, the then Govornor of Capo Coast Castle, marchod in the. yosr 1824 with o strong force to nttack the Ashantee troops. Ho was met at Esmacow by the Ashantee army, which had crossed the Prah to meet thom. Bir Oharlos M'Carthy undorrated tho strongth of the Ashanteo forcos, and, hear- ing the hum of tho approaching srmy, ordared his band to striko up ‘“God Bave the Queen,” thinking tho sound of the Na- tional Anthem would _torrity the enomy. Mo was soon undoceived. A soyero batile ensued, The English troops and their na- tive allios wore uttorly routed., Bir Charles McCarthy and m\nr]fi oll of tho European officers with bim lost thoir lives, their hoads wore cut oft, and, whilo thoir headloss trunke were loft to rot on the fleld of battlo, thoir skulls wera car- ried in triumph to Cummassio, whero thoy aro still kept. On hl#h fostivals the King of tho Ashantoes drinks from s cup fashioned from the skull of tho unfortunate Sir Charlea McOarthy, ‘which is proserved in tho Dantammah at Com- massio, with the crown and other troasures bo- lunflng to the King. Capo Coast was besicged by tho Asliantoss, aid, althougl ropulsod, they ravaged tho entire country of the Fantoos, and lield them in completo mubjection until a force Daving boon again collected, the battlo of Doo~ dowals was fought on tho 20th of Augnet, 1820, Tho Ashantees wore at the beginning of the romained thoro until io was removed by the now incumbent, Green. Ho was supposed to bo couniarily independent by reason of the liberal {‘orms sllowed him by his creditors, and to have token & placo in the Municipal Government - morely to get rid of ennui. For m long while provious to Lis doceaso, he had iuffered periodically from inflammatory —rheuxatism, confining him to the hotel for weeks at a timo, Bovoral rich relatives frequontly offored ‘o aid him if ho noodod auy aid, and wanted him,ns he waa » bachelor, to go to their houses to be wken care of during his allmonts, ‘Fhis he rofumd to do, saying ho preforred to be alone when he was sick. 5 Tho loss ot his place proyed upon the old man’s mind ; for,hnving.boen & thoroughly-com- petont and faithful sorvant, bo could not hel yegarding lis romoval as n rofloction on his abils ity. Atlust, bis ago, his broken conntitution, and his spiritual dopression, combined, carrief him off, Whon his fow effocts wore exsmined, it waoa found that all the cash ho had in the world was four conts, He had Lad noney sll along, and it was generally bolieved ihat, when ho hiad spent what he Lad, ho expedite! his death, which could not long have been deferred, by swallowing = largo dose of morphiro. 1t seoms singular that a ouco pomiuent mor- chaut, of largo wealtl, having geat influonce snd & wido circle of frionds, ulioala die in Broad- way, llmuuuufiml‘vl unknown,. baving outlived his goneration, with only fouw: punuilau loft out of & fortuno of & million of dllare.

Maytor was o man of goodly presonco (ho is atill Living, by the way), with a Wollington nosg snd a shrowd' oye, but ho'ias not a goniud, In thore ‘wore in' the political werld fos of those nicotios of shado and color which are now tho tormont of a ' Whip" who is ondoavoring to secure a majority, Hayter had a vory mosn opinion of human nature. Ilo saw nbad side of it, and ‘gonnratized hastily. I havo obsorved him ‘repoatedly in confab with ‘tembors on critical nights, whon It wns ensy to - guonn tho gort of arguments ho Wwas employing. Hayter enitod Lord Palmorton woll, much botter than ho did Lord John Russoll, who dotested henring anything sborit tho Becrotary of tho Tronsury and his doings, In rotiring from tho Honso, Hugter has not retired from fashionablo ' lifo, but has kept up for somo timo, and with succoss, tho profession of & beau, baving a maltitude of good storica to toll. Not a Gov- ernmont offico but coutains his proteges. Did ho posscss “onoughi wit, ho might aay good things ' overy day, for his exporience has ‘abounded in’ suggestions, When mon Baw, not long ngo, !

On many subjeots, ho cannot tell how many of the Radicals will vote against the Govornment, or how many Consorv- atives will supportit. On _the great party- fights, the Whip could connt hends; could bring lgnut conversations ; could even put constitu- encies on the alert; and so was ablo to tolt his chiofs how tho division would go. A porticularly-sagacious Whip _could decido on tho spot, even fthough tho topio had eprung up unexpectedly. I have soen Lord Palmerston commit himgolf to a particular course at tho beginning of an evoning, and thon bo compolled to hear his tone condomned by one supporter atter another, until, at s later hour, the Treasury Whip has stolen’ up to_tho fronk bench and whispered in the Promior's car, If you divide, wo shall Le beaton ;" and tho clevor old man would riso, and, after s fow words in support of his unr(y position, would continue, amid the ironical cheers of his ngnonontu, who know his tactics, by remarking that, At the samo timo, after tho very deoidod opinion ox- rrnund by the Houso, the Govornmont did not hink it oasontinl to press their view,” ato., oto. Mr. Glyn, on busy nights, has flitted from placo to place; from the chamber to tholobby; from tho lobby to the lbrary; then back to tho Ilouso; writing notesand sonding oft mosuengora; or walking in well-affocted coolnoss, and eitting still for five minutes, a8 though an ordinary listoner, but, in reality, scanning every bench.

FuRBELOW, THE IRVINGITES. A Curlous nnd Wenlthy Religioun Or« gonization=-A Church of FProphets. A London lettor in tho Cinclonati Commercia, from M, D, Conwsy, gives omo intoreeting ‘in- - formation rospecting tho presont condition of the sect gonorally kuown as Irvingitos. Thoy call thomselven tho Cotholic Apostotic Churclh, Edward Irving, tho foundor of tho sect, was for many yours an intimato friond of Thomas Carlyle. Mo died in 1835, Whon ho first wont to London he booamo a popular pulpii orator of tho Bcotch Ohurch, atiractiug lnrgoe and most fashionablo congrogations. In 1830, a sorvant girl in Beotland, namod Campbell, bo- gan to discourso in a wild, incomprohonsibla way, and hor bysterical ravings wero doclured to bo a rovival of the gift of tongues and of prophcey, while othor manifestations of a like charncter occurred elowhoro, oxciting much at- tention, Ldward Irving bocame a believer in tho super- natural origin of theso phenomens, and declared that the gift of tonguos should have troo course in tho Ohurch, - wheroupon the Scotch Church ox- pollod him, His, socicty thou bocamo & conpro wheoro tho wildeat scencs wore witnessed, Irv- ing himnel? frequantly broke out in an insano gibboriah, whila outbreaks of supposed prophecy ‘were honrd from every part of tho vaat building in which ko officiated.’ Evonturm? ihe grent soclety of enthusiasts who hiad collocted atound Irving, snd s number of tho eamo charactor clsewhero, convened in London and 'entablished oven chnrches on the iden of a strict and liberal roturn to the forms and formulas of the apostolic age. Nominally there are but soven churches iu the connec- tion; in roality there are in Grent Britain alone thirty sociotios, those outside of the origi~ nal seven being B&ormnfl branches, There aro fifty churches in Gormany, the most im- gnrtnnt being in Borlin, ono in Paris, six in cotland, two in_Ireland, aud two or three in this country. It s no small donomination which lis ‘grown up from & movement that ‘most pooplo In this country supposed had died out long ago. Among its membors the Dulkes of Northumborlaud have beon, and are, staunch bolievors. The church at Iarge has twelve apostles and sovon angols; individual socicties have doacons nand donconessen, oldors, ovangolists, aud pas- tors, to eay nothing of prophots, who are nu- 1morous, as any membor of the church mni be moved to prophosy. Tho principal cliurch of tho Irvingites, in T.ondon Square, which was oroctod at n cost of 160,000, rosombles n Catho- lic cothedral. There are five Gothic windows flooding the cuneiform interior with many-hued lights, an altar, and several pulpits and lec- ternog, encl with itn robod ocoupant. On closor inspection, ouo obsorves peculiarities, Each angel or officiant wears a robe of o peculiar eol- or, The evangelist weara red Sn tokou of tho blood of Christ), tho pastor white (omblom of l\ullLVJ. tho angel purpla and gold (purple mean- ngs authority, and gold truth), tho clder purplo, tho prophet bluo (tho skydy influonces, the beavenly mind, inspiration)., Theso four pri- mary colors roprosont the four-fold conatitution of muu—ronson, imagination, will, sffection. The majority of the robes aro simplo in strue- ture, but tho angol is quito gorgoous with his robes and embroiderod gold croes down his back, Thera i considerable dramatio effect in the gorvico. Tho words of tho prayors, chants, etc., of tho Sunday servico rosemblo vory much those of the Chuich of England. Tho same creods aro usod, aund tho ** Confession,” ¢ Abso- lution,” “Gloria,” snd_“'fo Doum," with very slight alterations. In tho servica of tho Euchbarist there are changes in the diraction of Catholicity. ‘Tho ‘charchos have two eorvices on each of the week duys, and these are in Bomo respects the most characteristio. "The first oceurs at § o'clock in _the morning, whon the number of priests is about equal to that of the congrogation, On this occasion tho angel alona upenks (unlcss some ong is moyed to prophesy, wlbiclx i always in order).

Thoir idea is that they thus fulfill the plan of the tabornacle - wheroin~ Aaron trimmed the Iamps, and in the ovoning thoy were lighted. The numbor of priests, eldors, and the like, connected with thoso churches, is very large. Every momber of the Catholic Apostolio Church contributes to its funds one-tenth of his means, and tho singlo church on Gordon Square supe portd over thirty persons in sacrod oflices, n nDontist’s Chair. .
