PHILADELPHIA, June 14, 1868, Yesterday afternoon, as the steamer from Smith’s Island, # pleasure resort in the middle of the Dela- ware river, was crossing over to Chestnut street wharf, there was some contention among pas- sengers, owing to the crowded condition of the boat. A large number of children was aboard, and one passenger, named Newton Stewart, made use of an expression that if the children were drowned there would be seats enough for men and women. The remark, though unfeeling, was only used in a jocular way; but when Stewart reached Front and Chestant streets on his way home ne was ap- roached oy the father of one of the children, who ir ty great arate of of excitement rushed up to Stewart cried, “You would drown my children, sould you’? and struck him a powerful blow in the face, which felled him to the earth.

Arrival of Annapolis Cadets and Their Vessele—The Diplomas to Be Awarded To- Day, and the Grand Hop to Take Place To-Night. West Pornt, June 14, 1868, About ten o’clock this morning the naval cadets, numbering about three hundred and twenty, ar- rived in their veasels—the Savannah, (fourteen guns), the Macedonian (sixteen guns), and the Dale (ten guns). The vessels were towed up the stream by the tugboat General Sheridan, and dropped anchor op- posite this place near the new landing. The cadets seem to be in very good spirits and are very desirous of visiting the Post to-day, but they will not be al- lowed to go ashore in @ body until to-morrow, when they will be received by the cadets of the Academy with all the honors.

RIOT IN THE FOURTEENTH WARD. Serious Amsaule on Police Officers. At 121 Mulberry street, the police report, a liquor store kept by Matthew Reynolds isa resort of des- berate and dissolute characters, who, of course, have very little regard for lawor life. Yesterday morning Keynolds was being arrested by officer McNamee, of the Fourteenth precinct, when he turned upon the officer and beat him badly. OMcer Kelly went to the assistance of his fellow-officer, and between them they managed to get Reynolds to the Tombs, where he was held to answer for the assault in $300 bail. Last night again he was engaged, as reported, in slighting the Excise law by dispensing whiskey when Omicer Lyman attempted to arrest him. But Rey- nolds was too much for the officer and the latter rapped for help. Officer Kane answered the call, a3 did also a number of roughs and desperadoes of the neighborhood, and these latter set upon the officers and handled them very roughly. Word was sent to the station house, and Captain Garland, with a platoon of men, hastened to the scene, Their arrival attracted a large crowd of men, women and children who, in this neighborhood have a peculiar antipathy to policemen, and who did not consider very much as to the mode of demonstrat their antipathy, and stones were made to fly in sw! “ ie and dangerous proximity to the officers’ heads. Officers Hildebrand and Brady had by this time got hold of Reynolds and were marching him off when the crowd closed in on them and attempted to rescue the prisener. OMicer Brady drew his revolver and fired into the air. The crowd had no relish for Fam | sticks,” and the “bark” of one quickly rou! them and left the peemem for the ofice with their prisoner, be pod rh free. Reynolds and his mother were both secured and locked up. Several other parties were arrested, but could not be identi- fled as ringleaders in the assault, and were, there- fore, released. Officers Hildebrand and Lyman were very severely injured about the head by stones or missiles of some kind. Their wounds were dressed and they were sent home. Threats had been heard to the effect that the war on the officers would be re- newed, but Captain Garland doubled the patrol in the vicinity of where the fight occurred, and the officers were well prepared to meet and baffle any attack that might be made on them. t. — @ Base Ball Notes. There has been a great deal of talk about Mr. Mac- diarmid’s umpiring in the Union-Yale game. The Yale folks think that he was correct in his judgments; the Unions think otherwise. He may have made some errors, but the Unions should not have lost their temper and loosed their tongues on the feild. They know where to apply for redress if injustice had been done.

To ras Epitor or Tae Heratp:— ‘Who will support the Chief Justice in the Southern States? 1 answer, emphatically, all the conservative Voters, including particularly the “old line whigs.”” What, then, is the duty of the democratic party? Jt evidently is to unshackle itself and with burnished armor enter the great contest upon @ platform which will seoure the votes of the reconstructed States and of true republicans in the other sections ot the country. What shall the platform be ?

Stats oF CONNECTICUT, EXBCUTIVE DEPARTMENT, New Haven, April 20, 1868, } Dean Jvpce--On account of my absence from home your very kind letter of 13th inst, did not reach me until this morning. 1 notice the use you make of my name in connection with the Presi- dency. I assure you it is a source of great satisfac- tion to me to know that any portion of my fellow citizens consider me at all in connection with that high and honorable pean. But frankness on my part compels me to say, while I have never asked or sought any office, either of honor or profit, at the hands of my fellow citizens, nor do I crave any, still 1 am not insensible to the very distinguished honors that have been so generously bestowed on me, in all of which positions I have always endeavored to discharge the duties imposed upon me in such a manner as [ thought would conduce to the best interests of my State and country. All my public acts have become matters of history. Of them it does not become me to speak. 1 leave it for a kind and indulgent constituency to decide both of my acts and motives as well. 1 have in all cases when consulted in ird to my being a candidate for either the office of President or Vice President, stated that I could not consent to the use of my name asa candidate for either posi- tion; all 1 ask is the ing of laboring with our friends for what I think tne best interest our whole country demands. If { have ever done any act or acts that have been promotive of the public good, I feel more than com- pensated in the satisfaction { enjoy in tecting con- scious of having done what I felt to be my duty.

Political Notes. A city contemporary announces that “nine- teenths of the newspapers in Germany are in favor of General Grant, and go are all the liberal papers in France.” A correspondent thereupon asks, “Why not have the Germans and French in Europe elect him?’ Colonel Amos C. Babcock Is the radical nominee for Congress in the Ninth Lilinois district, As the district gave something near eight hundred majority two years ago, there seems to be a strong probability that Colonel Babcock will be allowed to stay at home. Elijah McCarthy, who was the radical candidate for Congress in the Seventh Illinois district in 1962, now supports his then successful opponent, Joha R. Eden, the democratic nominee for Governor. The radicals of the Seventh [odiana district, in convention at Lafayette, on the 11th instant, aomi- nated Hon. Godlove 8, Orth for a fourth term in Congress, The vote stood for Orth 112, against 46 for General Lew Wallace, who thereupon took the stand and pledged the nominee his support. Hon. Michael ©.

Crosby, Adams, Shedd, Smith and Othere—The Hesolations. Sensible of the importance of the movement inaugurated by the two General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church recently in seasion, which had tm view an organic union of the two Churches com- monly known as the Old and New School, John 0, Green, William E. Dodge, Abner L. Ely and a num- ber of others invited the ministers and membera of these branches of the Presbyterian Church to meet last evening for prayer and conference in relation to the proposed basis of reunion at the church of Rev. Dr. John Hall, corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenta street. The attendance was very large. Rey. John Hall, D. D., presided. Rev. Dr. Crossy then offered up a fervent prayer. ‘The presiding clergyman said it gave him pleasure to preside over such a meeting tand to be in the midst of the Nonored gentlemen who were present this evening 2 who would address a audience.

Rev. Dr. ADAMS then addressed the iment ited a that the time had come in this movement wi the members of our churches and ry should be informed of the present comaition « of great interest. This was a representative o} tion. The pastors with their representatives formed the resb} » These made the general assemblies. wo years ago the general assemblies met in St. Louis, and measures were then taken to form a re- union. Fraternal relationships had already existed and delegates had been exc! . There was & general conviction that the time had now come when the old Keeper of disruption had been removed, hora that with the coming in of a new generation of members and clergymen it was felt very desirable cg form @ reunion. This was inat ted by the Old School in a suitable resolution, which was responded to by the New School. A joint committee of thirty was ited, but with very little confidence in the execution of anything definite. In 1366 it was recommended that the subject should reat for one year. The basis of the union on which the committees agreed was de- cided to be simply published without seeming to indicate anything compulsory. The reports will be Dublished in accessible form. There were thirteen articles on which the basis of union was to be made. These had been almost unanimously approved b by our general assemblies in Harrisburg, All and in other places. This was now to be overtu to our ery ‘ters. During this year it was to be decided. it had been approved and endorsed by the highest judictal bodies of the country. It three-fourths of the presbyters in each braneh ap} be passed, It had never been tl roved of it it would wn before them in this form until the present time. This was to be decided within the present year. He would not advocate the measure or frame any argument about it, but the time had now come when ali should have their voice and will and testimony ner and felt on this subject. This must affect vitally the condition of our country and the kingdom of our Lord. In view of the claims of the kingdom of Christ we were to take action on this question to-night. How easy it was to break, but how hard toheal! A child’s hand may break the breach, but what can make it unite again, bark to bark and fibre to fibre! That was a divine work. It was by the warmth of lively affections that this work was to be accomplished. Dev. Dr. SHEDD remarked that he would only that large briefly. te] > School was not left to itself— 250 delegates. It was car- on =i voatatan triumph and moderation. The body saw oe this was an important field and must be looked at with calmness. The spirit of the Lord was not absent from them. The E anageaind were di calmly and fairly. Though ere Was an earnest and vehement debate,there were no unkind words spoken. In settling "this great uestion it was important to understand how the theme was looked at. It was not to amalgamate all the churches or all Christendom into one ecclestas- tical organation. It was to unite those of Calvinistic faith and of the same polity. They would always look with reverence on the Methodist Church. Yet it was not a proposition to unite this Calvinism with their Armenianism. It was @ pro) idea unto those of Calvinistic faith. There was no difference of opinion on this subject. They agreed to amalga- mate as they were already homogeneous, The Aifference’ was the question as to the Bape, fact whether both bodies were equally and alike Calvanistic and Presbyterian. The question came then, are they as jealons of the old Westminster symbol’ As the question narrowed down there was @ far nearer approach to unanimity onthe union, These two churches that were ran- ning on parallel lines might then work together. If this year rolled along under the guidance of the Most High and no embittered feeling was called up, they ad been moved forward, and as a church they would present an undivided front tn behalf of this great and needed union. After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Sktuner, Rev. Dr. Smith delivered an address. A hymnn was then sung, when Kev. Dr. Hatfleld offered a prayer. THE RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were then read by the Rev. Dr. PRimé and adopted, Resolved, That whatever may have been the reasons for the disruption of the Presbyterian Chureb in the United States, we are fully convinced. that. such is the ment in tring, order and polity between the two branches of this reh and so important is it for the advancement of the ym of Christ that the time has now fully come for tak- ing away the reproach of division aad effecting an organic reunion. Resolved, That tt fs a matter of devout thankfulness to God that the two General Assemblies receadly io seasion at Albany and Harriabnrg have with remarkable una- uimity agreed upon the proposal of a basis of reunion to be sent down to the Presbyteries for thelr sanction. Resolved, That we suggest to our brethren’ of those two branches of the Churchy in all parts of the land, to moet tor gether in thelr several regions to take into conaideration with prayer and conference the proposed bas! ive full expression of their views as to the desirable: the con mmation of the reunion ; also that whenever It is practica Synoda occupying the same or ad- jacent ground should at their annual or semi.annual gather- fogs hold jolut convucations to promote the same great object. Rey. Dr. SureHEN remarked that the basis of re- union was reached only after @ very patient debate. No one spoke against ult reunion. The ques- tion at issue Was not considered one of fact. There was testimony produced to the effect that both were equally and thoroughly Cavanistic. Only by ques- tioning the veracity or capacity of the witnesses could this be doubted, The sense in which these standards were adopted was known to the world. It was thought it would make it a latitudinarian church elther in prinetple or practice, But these were easily explained away. Nothing new would come in until the reunion, There would only be @ difference in adjectives. Noth- ing more would come in them than what were there already. In the second piace, there would only come in what would be needed. The differences heretofore were only philosophical. Dr. Guthrie had satd, “If I were in this country I would be in the New School," and Dr. Candlish had said, “If I were in this country { would be in the Old School.” The history of the Church called them to unite. Nelson, in the battle of Trafal; called upon tS forces to be one in ac- ton. is was necessary to the most successful working. George H.

Further- more, the odd professor regaled his motiey audience with one of the motliest discourses ever hashed up from quips of philosophy and odd scraps of halluct- nation by a veritable denizen of Bedlam just simply out on ticket of leave and bound to report to hia keepers at the expiration of his furlough.

Ac- coraingty, having written out his lectures, several folios, and carefully ensconced the manuscript et g oy bag, he began to look out for means of transtt to the coveted ‘planet. In this respect great faciligies were afforded by the spirit of Dr. Franklin, President of the cies teow Society for the Obtaining of Useful Kno sae Teton Bi (ery oe in ‘spiritual 8, ie Doctor ‘iged him to appr to the deemeae Society tn Tondon, which he did, laying before the members of that association the main features of his project and the valuable contribu- tions to science he expected to afford upon his return, The project of a colonization of the Spiritualists upon a planet so remote having found favor with the association, a peculiar species of balloon invented by one of the members was placed at his disposal; a few biscuits, &c., in all pro- Visions for three days, were contributed by the or- ganization; and the Professor left London with great éclat, a special report of his embarkatton appearing in ail the bie ed papers of that city. The voyage, 80. thi fessor related, was uneventful, though the Professor's log-book exhibits a valuabie collection of notes relative to the weather and the constitution of the dilfusive ether of space, which will probably appear in book form im the course of a few weeks. The Professor relates that he effected a landing just on the bye in of the Mare Tenebrarum, & large inland sea quite navigable for ships and answering the people o! ‘ihe moon for a sort of Gulf of Mexico. ‘The inhabitants were very glad to see him, and, at first, the learned Buodits Of the planet were ‘possessed wiih the {dea of issecting him for scientific purposes, 4 calamity which he succeeded in averting by eneaing several anatomical maps and Lens | to them signs his organization fully to thelr satisfaction. The Pro- fessor now addressed himself to the task of learning their language, which was composed of a series of ulated grunts not dimcult to acquire by any one tomed to the process of grunting. The Professor states that, in anatomical structure, the inhabitants of the moon are very peculias at they are on the average about three feet high, ng ery large round heads with a couple of horns in ht and something resembling human faces on the side of the cranium; that they alwaya walk ewise, like Mg odd looking crabs, with the face turned over the front shoulder as y walk; that they havo very large protruding eye: Pon either side of the nose, which is broad, snout-like and turns up at the end, in these respecta resembling Spirttual- ista; that they wear clothes of an exceedingly coarse and she cullar grass only found at the moon, woven her by a very simpie process, and that they are on on’ the whole a very intelligent race of oddities, reatly given to the study of metaphysica as, in- deed, are some of our sublunary oddities. Upon the Professor stating that he was from the earth and pointing in the direction of that planet, which the Professor states looks a great deal larger than the sun to the inhabitants of the moon, and makes it at night nearly as light as day there, they mani- fested most extravagant symptoms of joy, and at once took him into their confidence. With respect to their diet, the returned lunatic states that they subsist mostly on a 3 ies of porridge somewhat similar to oatmeal porridge, but ype @ slightly sweetish, though acrid taste. Some er matters: relative to the duration of their days and nighta, the geology, mineralogy and zoology of the country the rofessor explained at length, having taken notes and accurate drawings on the spot, about the publication of which, however, the Professor as = hesitates, lest his treatise might be received as a oax, though he intends to make overtures to the Historical Society looking to the delivery of series of lectures before that body and the uitimate donation of his notes and drawings to ita valuable fuseam of curiosities. One of the first questions investigated by the Professor during his trip was the cost of sub- aistence on that pianet, which he avers is absolutely nothing—the materials for porridge growing wild in the woods and nobody possessing any particular tenure of landed property to enavie him to bring suits in case of trespass or theft Hay ing no incomes, the inbabitants pay no income tax; having nothing to 1, theft is not a word found in their vocabulary; ing, like the Spiritualists, no visible means support, they support themselves, lke the Spiritu tats, by rather invisible means. To develop these these points—with a view to the colonization of his Spiritualisttc brethren, who are sorely puzzled for means of port here, having been the of the Professor's lunary journey—he returns with fall credentials for the foundation of a eolony of Spiritualists on a valuable tract near the Mare Tene- berarum, which proposition, it is sincerely Lom ap will be accepted unanimously by the members of ae First Spirttualiats’ Society, as well as by the ive Spiritualista, whose habits and modes or thought are peculiarly adapted to a residence on some other planet.

Aquatic matters are looking up hereabouts. The members of the Shatemuc Boat Club indulged in snother grand matinée yesterday. The contestants were Irving Grinnell, D. LeRoy, @. C.

That race didgnot satisfy alt parties, and it was thereupom concluded to have it over again. Grinnell has many friends who believe he is the best ameteur Oarsman between New York and Albany, and they could not account for his being beaten by Le Roy one week ago, so they thought they would teat the matter once more, and yesterday was the day set down for the second heat.
