Dr. Sunderland offered a series of resoln- tions setting forth foasmueh as during tae past two months prayer had prevailed to an ‘wonted degree, and the work seemr 1 just mmenced, that the Presbytery acknow!- edged the divine favor, and bid all sincere workers Godspeed; that the members of the | Presbytery sustain the unity of the churches of Ged, of all names, and that in the Chris lian laborers among them they r2sognize powerial agencies for diffusing the love of jo. DR. MITCHELL DON'T APPROVE OF MR. HAMMOND. Mitchell remarked tnat if the reso’a tions were adopted, in effect, the action would put the seal of approbitionon Mr. Hammond. For one he was very much op- posed tosech action. Mr. Sunderiand expressed his a Ment that the brethres appoarcl so the work of God. Dr. Mitchell asked if Dr. 8. was not afraid | himself a little while ago. Dr. Sunderland said that he had never bean afraid; be had several local reasons for aut enlering int the work at dist. Dr. Kendall said that Dr. Sander’snt had Pt oo the end @ good handle to a hatchet to cat down the members of the Presoytery who had not gone to the meetings. Ir Sunderland explained that in deference to the views of some of his b.ethren he had bol mentioned names. Dr. Nourse urged that the resolution be alopted, for if rejected they would be deny- ing the facts. | Dr. Mitchell said that the fact was that | Some of the brethren had been c snverted to believe in the agencies and others not. They were asked to place the seal of approbation upon the agencies. THE PRESBYTERY COULD HAMMOND; they bad thetrown agencies He asked Dr. Sunderland if he (Dr. 8.) had not said in the ministers’ meeting that if he were called upon to say auything about Hammond he would denounce him? Dr. Sunder'and disclaimed having used any such language. Dr. Noble said that what was said by Dr. Sunderland was that he really did not Know what he was going to do; ke mignt be on the rm that week, and if he was and saw anything wrong there he would denounce it Rev. Mr. Bittinger said the Presbytery would stultify itself by adopting the resolu- tion after tuey had left Mr. Hammond alone so long. Mr. Little moved that the resolutions be referred to a special committee for consider- ation. Ivr. Wills said the resolutions contained an implied censure on ministers who have not co operated in the meetings; they appeared to indorse measures of which they, as Pres- byterians, cid not approve; and they seemed to commit the members of the Presbytery to take part in these meetings, from whico they had, on conscientious grounds, absented themselves. LIVE BEYOND vr. Chester explained that he had moved the adoption of Lhe resolutions on the ground that they were simply an endorsement of the work of God and the unity of churebes in this city. “Noone,” he said, “8 mora op- es Mr. Hammond and his measures than 1.” Mr. Sunderland remarked that he had heard that Brother Mitchell had preached sermons lately STRONGLY SQUINTING AGAINST THI The brother was at liberty to preach what he chose, but he looked upon it as a very «ol emp business to stand up before an audien: and say “I don't approve of this or tha!

Mr. Jeremiah Cabell offered his resignation #s pastor of Vienna church, and it was laid over for the time, the congregation beiug cited to appear, by @ commissioner, before an adjourned meeting of the presbytery on Monday, 24th inst., at 10 a. m. Dr. Wills offered a series of resolutions, which were adopted, approving the plan of a aig gd seminary coptempilated by Rev. C. H. Nourse, and comiuendiag the iu- stitution to the church. The examinations of Mesers. MacKenzie and Conyer, of the Howard University, who desire to come under the protection of the Etre; were proceeded with and sus. ned. Rev.

Hammond and Bentley. YROGRESS OF THE REVIVAL. Last evening the Union meetings Messrs. Hammond and aay were held at the Congregational and Calvary Baptist eburches. After ihe opening exercises at the Congre- ‘tional church Rev. Mr. Black and Rey. Dr. Noble both spoke of the happy results that Were being seen daily from this work. Mr. Hammond read from the seventh chapter of Acs, and spoke of Joseph as a type of Christ. Nearly the whole audience rose for prayers at the conciusion of the sermon, and lhe inquiry meeting followed. At the Cal oe church Mr. Bent- Dr. Rankin and others assisting, @ very flue meeting was held. At the conclusion of Mr. Hammond’s dis- course at the Congregational church he at. tended the meeting and preached. Mr. John O’Brien, the proprietor of the cir- cus bow exhibiting here, offered his tent for & morning meeting, but the committee de- cided that in view of to-morrow being a hol- iday in the District a mass meeting will be heid on the Capitol steps after the unveiling of the Lincoln monument.

Tbig morning a committee of citizens, com.posed of Messrs. J. F. Cake, F. Tenney, Sake, R.H. Taylor, Augustus Perry, Thos. ‘Hume and W. H. Morrison, waited upon the District Commissioners end presented the following petition, signed by fifty-five of our leading merchants, hotel-keepers and other boriness men: cox “We, the undersigned persons, own property and doiog basiness on Pennsylva- nia avenue by tome = —s u city, respectfully most cordialiy approve the manner in which L. P. Wright, esq., has conducted the basi- ness pga ne | cleaning the streets in this eity. 'e regard bis continuance in this Work a8 most vital to the business interests of the city. Heis with ample stock and approved machinery for ore tae and we earnestly protest against the i= ness being taken out of his hands and given to any one who has yet to experiment with other machines ané sweepers which may Dot work satisfactorily, the interest of the business community and the visiting public suffer in consequence thereof.” Mr. Hume, in presenting the petition, ad- dressed the Commisstoaers briefly in sup. portof the views expressed in the petition and was followed by others. The Commissioners, in reply, stated tat in accordance with a rule adopted by the Commissioners at, the beginning of theirad- ministrat.on of the District government in relation to current work, proposals ha? beeu invited by puolic advertisement for this sweeping. Bids bad been rece:ved ead had been referred to a committes compose t of the engineer, controller, auditor, water re: gistrar, and collector, who had reported in tavorof the bid of Mr. Andrew Glea‘oa, he being the lowest responsible bidder is their jodement; therefore the work could not b= awarded to Mr. Wright, although the Com- missioners were we'l satisfied with the ma: - ner in which he had exec .ted his work. Tne recommerdation of the committee has been approved on condition that!Mr. Gleaso. shall execute @ contract, to be prepared under the direction of the fmmissioners and to con- tain euch provisions and limitations as the Commissioners shall deem reasonabie for p-oiection of the interests of the District, and on the coniition that Mr. Gleasoa shall execute a bond in form and with sureties satisfactory to the Commissioners for faith- ful performance of the contract. ‘the Commissiuners ad satisfied them- Selves as to the ability of Mr. Gleason to per- form the work: also as to machinery which he proposes to use. Here they read a con - munication from Win. A. Godwin, elty cor veyor of Portland, Maine, to Engineer Hoste, wherein it is stated that [uson’s Sweepers are in use in thatecity with ent as it does its work quite as ef- stone pavement 28 on wood or conc ete; one from Charles E. Paine, city en- seer of Providence, R 1., to the same ef- feci: one from George W. Forrisiall, superin tendent of health, Boston, Mass.,st@ting that taey hrve in that city ten of Edson’s swee; ers, and that they give entire satisfaction; one from John Gunner, of New York, taying that they are in use in that city and give en- Ure satisfaction, aud one from Samuel L. Smedley, chief engineer and surveyor of Philadelphia to the same effect. The dele- gation then took leave apparently satisfied with the conclusions of the Commissioners as above expressed. THE COST*OF SWEEPING the streets and avenues of Washington and Georgetown for the year ending February, 1sv4, Was $76,115.45, @iud .ur the same service under contracts between the District Com- missioners and Mr. Carmody and Mr Wright during eleven months ending March 31, 1876, the cost was $70,454.24. The last- named expense was considerably enhanced by reason of the necessity arising for the Commissioners to annul the contract mave with Mr. Carmody, and giving the work to Mr right in consequence of the inability of the former to perform the ser- vice satisfactorily. In the matter of alle: clearing and sweeping for the same pe.jod, the reduction of the cost Is still more strik- ing. The cost for this service for the year ending March 10th, 1°75, was $141,901 15. “For the same service under contract made by the District Commissioners for the year ending Maych 3ist, 1576, the cost was $11,300, and the work was well performed. The cost for the current year under the contract with Mr. Drainey is $8,905 ———e Re I Prices, Cen MEAT.—Beet, porter house, 2) ®; round, 15; roasting pi dried, 20; sliced. 25, chipped, corned. sal2%4° Matton, Isave: ¥5a25; Dried Beef, 202; Hams, siiced, 25; Middiings, Market. per Ib.: sirloin, jeces, 20425; corned, 10. a; Port él Larib, 18020; Shout ent, I7als; Whole, 15 cnt, Tongues, 80860 each; Lard, He pacts Gawx.—Duck, widgeon, 1.00 per pair; red had, 180 per pair: canvas back, 250 per pair; grouso, 1.20 per pair; Bobbins, 75 pet dez. 7 Fixn—Rock, asd per bunch: Perch, 3549 per 3,25 per bunch; Halibnt, "20 per I How, 40 per bunch; 8: {Calitorus : b!; Cod, 1234018 per I.: Haddock per Ib; Lobster, 122815; Blue Fish (large each; 35 cts. per ponnd; Shad. 448) pr tm Herring, 28, Smeit. ‘Bonton,} a0; Mackerel, (freah,} tr 0) per be inch: Orster Piante,S per bavch: F pk: Spinach, 40a per pk: Osiory, a sips, 40° Ber peck: Lottnor. da § Kale. 20 por pk; Horse Radish, 5810 each ; Badisi, r buncl —yranges, 30a50 per dozen; Lemons, Mas 5, Apples, S0a78 per pk; enc Oranverries, 20 oer Wala 4; Peach pies, 10al2 per pound; Peaches. feds 18; Biackberrios, 10; Gher ber Ib.

TROUSLEIN THE MINING REGION.—The Cumberiand Alleganian of Wednesday says: * Our reports from the mines yesterday wre m- igre. The men, without a single excep. ton, have ceased work tn those mines where ai2duetion of wages had been ordered. The minere in the employ of the Consolidation Coal Compuny repaired to work as usval yesterday morniag, but on reaching the imines found the same notice of a reiuction of waces posted about the entrance, and all immciliately turned their faces homeward and refused to work. The Borden and George's Creek Companies aro stil! paying teeold prite Whether they propose to re- duce we are not in ormed ” The trouble in the mining region, however, it seems is not confine i to the ma'ter of the pay of miners, but extends to the question of freight charges on what has been kno’ heretofore -Gymberland aud Penn railroad, which, it has been stated, Was told out to tha Consolidated Coal Com: pany, and Whose tracks are necessary used by Learly all the miners In that region, and constitute the principal tributary to the ebief outlets for thecoal trade. Itis asserted tbat the tréfsfer of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania road to the Consolidate Coal Company was made with the view of avoid ing the recent legislation of the Maryland leg slature designed to regulate the freight charges on coal by that road, which were claimed to be exorbitan SICK PEOPLE’S IMAGINATION.--At the second days’ session of the 7sth convention of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, in Ba'timore yestei fay, Dr. Rob- erts Bartholow, of Cincinnati, Ohio, deliver- ed the annual address on the “Degree of Certainty in Therapeutics,” in which he sald diseases can be classified with approximate accurgey as to such as are curable, such as are merely relieved. and such as are unaf- feeted by medicines. The degree of certainty is affected by the influence of the imagina. ton. Everybody is familiar with instances illustrating the influence of expectancy. A case was stated where Davy, upon the trial of an experiment upon a patient afflicted with palsy, placed a small thermometer un- der his tongue co ascertain the temperature of the body during the trial. Tne patient, ignorant of the process to which he was to submit, but impressed with the certainty of its success, no sooner felt the thermometer be.ween his teeth than he declared that he ut the whole body. Nothing more was don% than to repeat the application of the ther. mometer, and in @ fortnicht the patient was cured. Many diseases are arrested by pow- erful emotion. A bread pill supposed tocou- tain an emetic has produced vonuting, and eee of taking cathartics has caused griping. CHARLEs O'ConoR AND MBS. FORREST.— A charge was published in some of the jour: nals to the effect that Mr. Charles O'Conor, while pretending to serve Mrs. i orrest gratuitously in the famous Forrest divorce suit, actually exacted from her a very large sum for his services. Mr. O'Conor indig- nantly denies these accusations, and asks a trial by the Bar association of this city that bis professional honor gr J be vindicated. This is his due, although bis denial will in \tself carry with it the welght of acquittal. Apart fron this Mr. O’Conor’s letter has a feature that will attract universal atten- lion—namely, bis theory of the cause of Mr. Forrest’s strange conduct in his domestic troubles. According to this theory the quar- rel was only a device of the tragedian to di- vert attention from financial failure result- ing from the erection of the “castle” on the Hudson, which he had not the means to finish, and, as is apt to be the result of such devices, it ended in the destruction of his home and left adark spot on his fame. Tne theory is Ingenious, to say the least of it, and ts probably the key to a very remarkabie do- mestic episode.—[N. Y.
