Lieutenant Lee, of the Freedmen’s Bureau, who ‘Was sent by Major Hutchings, in charge of the Bu- Teau here, to investigate the troubles in Opelousas, reported this morning that the immediate cause of the outbreak was a personal difficulty between the editor of the St. 'v Progress (republican pa- pen) and three citizens, growing out of offensive ar- icles published in republican papers, The editor, named Bentley, who was also a school teacher, was caned.

Election to Be Held in VirginiamA Test Ques- tion. NORFOLK, Oct, 7, 1868, It is argued here that if West Virginia is allowed to vote ih the Presidential election, then certainly her parent, Virginia, ought to have a vote also, be- cause the consent of the latter had to be gotten ere the former could be admitted to the Union asa State, so called. It is stated that Seymour and Blair could, in the event of Grant and Colfax getting the electoral vote of West Virginia, contest it on the and that if Vi is not @ State in the Union, fren It follows a8 @ logical consequence that West Virginia is not, according to the constitution. From information received I believe the Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee of the State are engaged in nay mig to hold an election for electors to the Electorai College. OHIO.

General Sherman has writien to the author’ ieg for more troops to aid in subduine *”. indian war . « oo tora Afe ts said to complain DLULTIY Ay regions delays in sending reinfordéements, and to state unless he is promptly furnised with all the troops he de- sires nothing cap prevent R widespread and disas- trous series of conficts with the diavcntented tribes, The canse of these delays is not explained here, bit there is no doubt a graye culpability rests some- where with the authors, There are plenty of bat- taliong and companies which might well be spared from thelr present scenes of idleness and inutility and forwarded with despatch to Sherman’s assistance. Washington, it 1s certain, ia filled with holiday soldiers and officers, and in other parts of the country there are frag- ments of regiments doing absolutely nothing but the most unprofitable guard duty. Why these are not gathered together and ordered off to active ser- vice, and why so many officers are tolerated as mere loungers, idiers and political stumpers, is indeed a mystery when there is such an urgent demand for military reinforcements at the seat of Indian depre- dations. The Next Meeting of Congress. The subject of another meeting on the 16th of this month, in accordance with the resolution adopted in September, is beginning to engage attention. The general opinion seems to be that no session will be had this month, but that a quorum will be here on the 10th prox, and general legisla- tive business transacted. Should this prove cor- rect there 1s every probability that Congress will remain together until the regular time of meeting in December. A few members of both houses are in the city, among them Senators Trumbull and Fow- ler, and the above is their view of the probabilities. The Pennsylvania Election=The Democrats Sanguine of Carrying the State, The democrats here profesa to be very sanguine about the approaching Pennsylvania election, de- claring that the success of their ticket is fixed be- yond a doubt. Sam Randall, one of the democratic Congressmen, telegraphed to a friend here to-day that the State was certain to go against the republi- cans by 5,000 majority, q ANY uovernor English, of Connecticut, arrived here to- day and had a long interview with the President. Ro regards tho late elections there as insignificant and furn!shifg as no test of how the State will vote on the Presidency. : Incompetent Revenue Officers, By a recent act of Congress customs warchouses classes A and B were abolished, which resulted in turning adrift a large number of gaugers, inspectors and others in the Customs Department. Recently the Secretary has had numerous applications from the men who were thus legislated out of office asking for appointment. As several reports have reached the Secretary making grave charges against officers now in the service, he yesterday addressed to Col- lectors of Customs throughout the country a circu- lar directing them to inquire concerning the charac- ter and ability of the gaugers and inspectors in thelr several districts, and to report to the department all who are found to be incompetent or untrustworthy, that measures may be immediately taken to secure |. the interests of the government. Application for Pardon. An application was filed at the Attorney General's office to-day for the pardon of Blumgarten, of Louis- ville, Ky., who was a short time since convicted of defrauding the government of $30,000. The petition comes very well recommended, bat it is thought ‘that the pardon will not be granted by the President. Protracted Absence of General Grant. There is good reason to believe that the absence of General Grant will be prolonged even beyond the Present month, and late information received here intimates that he will not return until near the mid- dle of November. General Reynolds’ Texas Election Order. Tne War Department has not yet received a copy of the order said to have been issued by General Reynolds, commanding the military district of Te: forbidding the people to hold elections in that ‘on tne $a proximo, nor has any telegram been received from him announcing that such an order had been issued. The Brotherhood of the Union. ‘This afternoon the Supre: ircle of the “Brother- hood of the Union,” now in session here, visited the President of the United States by appointment. The New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia and Virginia dele- gates were severally introduced, when the President, in response to the salutation that they came to pay their respects to him, not only as the Chief Magia- trate, but as @ member of the fraternity, said he felt more than thankful for this manifestation of friend- ship, and expressed the hope that they would all hereafter meet under more favorable circumstances. The “Brotherhood of the Union’ is @ patriotic, in- dustrial and beneficial organization. Military Orders.

The two bishops absent were detamed at home only by i'Iness, The House of Deputies is full. There are forty dioceses represented, each of which sends four lay delegates and four clerical representatives, Yesterday there was the opening service, of which the HeRatp gave a full account, The services wero conducted by the Right Rev. Horatio Potter, rector of Grace church, and he was assisted by a numerous body of clergymen, After the reading of psalms and the chanting of verses by the oar the Ry my alfred Lee, of Delaware, ascended Rev. the sanop, Al the text from Rev. th, 29, “He the pulpit x" “4 negr let him hear what the Spirit that hath an ear ». 1 ho cAanting of the saith to the churches.” The Rignt Rey. preacher opened by apr... warning Which the seven churches in Asia receiveu, and spoke of the respect which should be paid to the epistles of Paul and the other Apostles; for even the beloved disciple did not relate all he knew, and it was with regret we closed the last pel without Knowing all the things which Jesus did. It was a remarkable circumstance that the epistles were not read in the churches, while the other portions of Scriptures were read four times a year, and the excuse of obscurity which was appli- cable to the mophedn did not apply here. le then alluded to the three-fold character of Christ, royal, prophetic and sacerdotal, as related in the scene, and gave @ beautiful Regs de of the Saviour in each of these characiers. His kingly office ‘was presented as @ mighty reality, not committin; His authority to viceroys, but exercising tt in own proper person. No; Jesus reigns and will reign till He has pnt all things under His feet. He reigns in the Church militant as well as in the Chureb catholic, in the darkness as He wiil in the light, and in the Church and her members, notw.th- standing what heresies and schisms may creep into her and obtain among her mem- bers. One way of robbing the Lord Jesus of His headship ia by denial of His divinity; another is when aman exaggerates the offices ot Christ, but arrogates to himself these offices, and makes Christ’s royalty @ means of exaiting himself. ‘This was nothing but the mocking of Calvary ‘Hail King of the Jews.” No, Christ never ed His authority, and blessed fs that church which ac- knowledges Him as its invisible head. Tbe preacher then proceed 8} of Chr np ed to iat a8 seen in the episties. No Pest of the Old Testament spoke of prophets gs did the epistices—‘‘Never man spake like this man.” But Christ eiways glorified the Holy Spirit, Saroen which he conveyed all the knowledge of His salvation. He spoke to these seven churches through the seven episties, and by the Spirit. Tnere- fore in the Holy iptul a8 geen in the sixth arti- ole of religion, were to be found all things necessary to salvation. In this volume, breathed upon by God, did the Spirit give us knowledge of His pres- ence, and men who looked to any other power for divine guidance fell into grave error. In this con- nection the preacher instanced the rebuke of Christ “Yon make the to the. commandinents God of none e: by your tradition.” The Seri; tures, then, was the caly light by which we could guided. A church, then, confident of the divine Lr of her ae np come pened take her stand on the est ground; human mony Was unnecessary ion prove the truth of the Scriptures; that was proven by divine power, and tradition was unneces- sary. Yet to @ certain extent the early councils were entitled to respect. The Jews kept the law strictly; the Sanhedrim watched every letter and tow h revelation; but for all this they rejectea the viour, The right reverend preacher then spoke of the General Counclis of the Church, and denied that the bishops had not power to interpre: or ordain things of themselves necessary to salvation without the clergy and laity. They had no power to prociaim such things except they were in unison with Holy ‘Writ. The pretensions of Councils to be uncrring ‘were wrong and only brought ridicule on the Chure!. The Nicene Counc |, however, promulgated the trt doctrine in declaring the unity of the Godhead, winch was in strict accordance with the truth. But why trust to Councils while we had the Apostles, who still could be consulted? Where they had spoken there was no appeal, but what they had not settied could not now be settled, The whole Catholic Church could not establish any doctrine not established by the Aposties; the Church was founded on the Apostles and prophets, Jes: Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” Jes Christ himseif also appeared in this vision in bis sacerdotal character, between the golden candie- sticks, and showed in himself the entire establish- ment of the symbols once used in the Jewish wor- ship. The mockery by modern priesia was not what Poo to the ministry of Aaron. No, we had & great High Priest, who by one offering had perfected forever our salvation. The language of the epistie recognized no sacrificing priests, and therefore no further sacrifice was necessary since Jesus Christ offered himself for the sins of the worid, There is re to the world a royal priesthood, which sacri- iced to God with = blame rag and which offered themselves as @ true sacrifice wholly accept- able to God, which is their reasonable service, ‘There are many titles among the clergy, but none which bring to the mind an idea of sacrifictal or mediatorial services.

Propitiatory and sacerdotal offices were inseparable, that the daily sacrifice which pre- tended to re-el scenes of Oalvary were dan- gerous and ror.

Dodge, of New York, made some remarks, reviewing the amount of contributions to the missions tn former years and comparing them with this year, stating that the gold value of the con- tributions this year was less than in previous yer 13, and it had not given the missionaries 60 much power to work on foreign ground in 1867 and 1868 as we 5 nden, of New York, made a h, in which he said:—There was cause’ to thank God and take courage that in the face of possible embarrass- ment and probable debt the fiscal year had closed with @ smull balance in the treasury.

At nine minutes past three o'clock the Hopuls was off the buoy, and a minute and Lie g ve seconds later the Three Sisters ‘iollowed sui On the return, the wind being more favorable for the Sophia, and she besides showing a decidedly more agile pair of heels, waltzed over the rippling water to a lively tune, which the zephyrs and olus played on her shrouds—her hi of a thousand strings—until she sighted her place of departure, which she reach- ed, in @ manner quite satisfactory to those who had their greenbacks In chancery wang for her deci- sion, at fifty-one minutes past four o'clock, the Three Sisters following her at the respectable distance (im time) of five minutes and fifteen seconds.
