A circular calling @ meeting at the Ebbitt house parlors last night to effect the provisional organization of the “International Senate of the People’s Commonwealth” brought together about fifteen or eighteen gentlemen. ‘sir. Chas. Frederick Adams, chief clerk of the civil ser- vice commission andsecretary of the “tontine,” explained that the object of the meeting was to organize in connection with the Tontine as- sociation, already incorporated, an assembly wherein Various topics of public interest may be discussed with a view of educating the peo- ple in matters of government from a non-partie saustandpoint. The idea is of a somewhat socialistic character, the organization to be- come an experimental government within the national government, and operated with the “tontine association’” so as to xecure a common ownership of land, from which the Incomo is divided among thdse holding under the asso- clation, according to the well-known “tontine”’ plan, ‘The economic branch 1s already a very ex- tensive association of people, who subscribe $1 or more, the entire sum to be invested in land, and divide the income from it pro rata, When one dies his Interest is divided “among tho rest, sothat the last survivor may get, in his old ‘age a very large income. The “judicial and litical” functions form an immense national perhaps international) moot government, or, as Mr. Adams termed it, an Immense govern: ment laboratory, whose important questions could be discussed and reforms tested. ‘The object of the organization, as explained by Mr. Adams, is to bring about a more gen- eral division ’ of prosperity—or natural. re- Sources—and the proposed holding of assem- biies and town meetings is to enlarge the field in whieh they may operate.

The twentieth annual session of the Na- tional Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, opened yesterday in Philadelphia, with representa- tives from twenty-four states present. Col. Put Darden, master, called the session to order. The secretary reported that two bun- €red new granges were organized during the year and that tho membership in Connecticut was doubled. ‘The treasurer's report showed over $60,006 on hand. In his annual report, Col. Darden, master of the National Grange, stated that. its organi tion had resulted In the establishment 0 humerous organizations among the laboriix and producing classes. It had led to the publi- cation of a number of grange Journals and to the founding of coilezes, where practical farming is taught. The remedy for legislative evils, he declared, 1s the use of the ballot, in order that farmers may be fully represented in state and national tegislation. He expressed the belief that the movement of the producing classes, seconded by a movement of the labor- Ing classes, wiil peaceably restrain monopoly and demonstrate that the people can govern aselves. With regard to consolidating the flange and other orgaitizations Master Darden elieves that the secret nature of the grange prohibits such alliances, During the past ten years, he suid, there has been an entire change 4p the membership of the grang Invitations to attend the the: ac cepted, and a project for an ¢ At Jantle City taxen under advisement.

What the Answer of the Professors Under Fire Will Be. A telegram from Boston, November 9, says: ‘The charges preferred against certain professors of Andover Theological seminary have been approvel by the board of visitors, and finally concluded, and coptes have been served upon the aceused, together with an order that answers be filed by Saturday, November 27th. When the answers are filed, the board of Visitors will fix a time forthe public hearing. ‘The compiaint, as served upon the wicked pro- fessors, are substantially the same as was originally preferred. ‘They are a little more Specificin detail, and are drawn against the Gelinguents individually, instead of jointly as tore, The snswer on the part of the professors ynder fire will be a general denial, coupled with the staiement that for halt a contury it has been conceded that the Andover creed should be accepted, with certain liberty of interpreta tion; that the visitors themselves are commit ted tothis view, and that Messrs, Harris, Hincks and Taylor, the three professors most recently chosen, accepted their chairs with the under standing that the same manner of carrying out the bequests as rules elsewhere should be fol- lowed at Andover. The gentlemen under fire believa that if the charges against them are dismissed, the agitation will cease, but if not, there will’ be serious split in the ‘denomina- tion, a8 they have the assurance that a large body of the leading elergy and laymen are committed to their views. ‘A Portland, Me., letter to the Record says: “The so-called ‘Andover controversy’ has awakened considerable interest here, as well as elsewhere. Professor Hincks, one of the ‘here- tics,” was formerly pastor of the State street church in this eity, His personal worth and marked ability were recognized, but still he Was not wholly popular as @ preacher. There were complaints that he was too rigid and con- servative in his theology. In fact, he was looked upon as the stiffest kind of an’ orthodox, and any suggestion of looseness of doctrine in his case would have been taken as a joke by those Who regularly listened to him, Of course there are wide differences of opinion in regard to the merits of the controversy, but those who may be supposed to know say that a majority of the leading clergymen, and perhaps a still larger majority of the laymen, of the denomination may be classed with the conservative rather than with the liberal or ‘Andover’ element. There are some notable exceptions, however. Rev. Dr. Hyde, the young and progressive pres- ident of Bowdoin college, is counted as an ad- herent of the ‘new school.’ t will be remembered that Maine has a Congregational divinity school, “the Bangor theological seminary, and while the protessors there have not, perhaps, taken public or a defi- position upon this question, 1t is said that eral of them are quite divided in their theo- ical views. The Maine Congregutionalists ve a8 a Mewspaper organ, the Christian Mirror, which may be considered asin some Sense d rival of the Congregatioratist, and it is understood that its editor, Rev. Dr. Warren, although conservative in his views, by 0 means indorses the course of Dr. Dexter in the Andover matter. On the whole, it would prob- ably be not fur out of the way to'say that while the larger part are not in agreement with the positon of the Andover professors, Maine Con- gregationalists, as a body, do not think it ad- visable to make a fight over the question.” ee Brooklyn's Tichborne Claimant. THE ALLEGED BOGUS REPRESENTATIVE OF CHARLES CURTIS. The United States authorittes in Brooklyn are endeavoring to unearth the mystery attending the antecedents of the alleged bogus representa- tive of Charles Curtis, a soldier pensioner, who also claims to be the long Jost heir to the Tich- borne English estate. He remained during the night in the cutody of a deputy United States mursbal, He still claims that he assumed the ame of Cartis upon enlistment in the 106th ment New York infantry volunteers, and that he is the lawful heir to the English baron- etey. Detectives are confident that they will be able to show that the government has m: no serious mistake in laying hands upen Curtis and in holding bim pending an investigation of the complaint against him. In the examination yesterday into the fraud- ulent pension charge a young woman testified that Curtis is her father; that his true name is Charles Ogden Ferris, aud that after her birth in Brooklyn he moved to Callicrnia with a second wile, Seven years ago he revisited Brooklyn, and witness saw him at the house of her smottions sister, Mra, Sarat Barl, The ae cused at that tine told wi thatshe was. duaghttr mud guve hor a phologray m self, witch, belug submitted in evidence, dis played a resemblance to the prisoner.

Moen, of Worcester, for the recovery of $113,000, by curious people, who hoped to hear the mystery of this cele- brated case explained. Mr. Moen isa member of the firm of Washburne & Moen, the im- meusely wealthy mabulacturers of barbed wire fences, and Wilson isa rather loose character, who lus had a shady reputation around Wor: eester for many years. It was stated In the deeiaration that Moen had agreed to pay Wil- son $116,000, of which the latter acknowledged to have received $20,000 on account, and he now sues for the balauce of $96,000 aid inter- estamounting to $17,000. “How the million- aire came to owe this ‘money to such a man as Wilson and why he paid him $20,000 1s the question that exclies interest aad’ has never been answered by either men or at the first trial of the case. Wilson was the first witness yesterday, and repeated his former testimony concerning the alleged bargain Moen mude with hin at Moosehead lake aud Moen’s offer to settle with him by giving him $80,000 in 2 and Albany railroad stocks, wiich Wilson retused, He said that Moen had given him in ail from $300,000 to $400,000 before agreeing to pa; the $116,000. ‘lien Moen’s counsel eudcay- ored by repeated questions to muke the wit- ness reveal Why Moen had paid him these Yast sums, Dui to all questions he returned ingeniously evasive answers. “Ihe fire; money he gave ie was a present,” answered Wilson, and when he was asked how Moen came t niake him presents ne replied with a smile: “se can teil you best.” He declared that he did not know any reason, except that Moen Was liberal, and ‘denied ‘that he had ever threatened Moen or hud ever claimed to ha\ been a witness of some criminal act of Moen's, Witness lived with Hattie Engley for three or tour years as her husband. Moen hada great desire that the Engleys should be taken outof the country, and Wilson took them to Europe in 1879 ut his request. Moen said it was on account of things that mightarive that be desired their absence trom tue country Witness did not know what these things were. Wilson never got any money from Moen ona note. Every note he gave him was for the pur- pose of paciiying Mrs. Moen. They were to be shown io Mrs, Moen and then destroyed. tee.

This practical abandonmentof the hizh grounds on which the prokibition of Sunday traffic had been urged went far toward influencing the legislature to reject the measures. ‘The annual conference of the Cengregational churches, which opened its session here to-day, received a long report on the Sunday traffic question from a committee composed of three clergymen and three laymen, two of whom are lawyers. They urge another appeal to the legislature, but do not speak ina very encouraging tone. They bristian men polnt to the fact that too many in every legislature are governed by love of office or popularity and cannot be depended upon to stand up for the right. It is urged that the churches make a united demand upon the legislature which meets next January. “De- lays,” say the committee, “will be dangerous because of the rapid growth of liberal idoas in the community due to foreign immigration, foreign literature and the great numbers of American tourists who annually return from Europe with their moral standard lowered and with their reverence for the New England Sab- bath weakened.” see PROFESSOR SPRAGUE UNDER A_CLouD.— About @ year ago Professor Homer B.
