Farther Proceedings Before Commissioner Osborn Yesterday—Highly Important Tes- timony—The Division of the Spoils— The Pereentage of Blutehford—- Howard Insists on His Full Share—The Checks, It will be remembered that on Saturday afternoon, at the close of the examinatign for the day in the case of the United States agatust R. Mulligan, Mr. Francis A, Howard, of the firm of Dioblee & Moward, of No, 10 Wall street, was brought before Commis- sioner Osborn, having been arrested on the charge of complicity in the drawback conspiracy. Mr. Howard was formerly clerx or chief of the drawback branch in the office of the Internal Revenue Com- missiouer at Washington, and it is alleged that in lis oficial capacity he aided the conspirators in New York in their efforts to defraud the Treasury and that he received brises for his assistance. Mr, How- ard had resigned his official connection with the public service at Washington about the Ist day of | January, 1867, and opened a banking and broker's office, under the above firm name, 1n this city and has been engaged in that business ever since, Mr. Howard, when arraigacd on Saturday last, wished the examination to proceed at once; but that being impossible, 1 was set down for two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the bail for his apppear- ance fixed at $10,000. It.was only late on Saturday evening that he succeeded in procuring the required sureties and he was liberated. It will also be remem- bered that this was the second arrest of Mr. Howard for being concerned in these frauds, the frst being made some time last spring, at which time he also gave bail in the same amount.

Fifty-first Anniversary at Cooper Insti- tute—Addresses by Rey. William But- ler, D. D., General Albright, Bishop Simpson and Others— The Annual Meeting— Election of Officers, ‘The fifty-first anniversary of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was celebrated last evening at Cooper Institute, whero a large audience assembled, principally composed of ladies. Rey. Bishop Thomson presided, and the stage was filled by a number of clergymen aud laymen of the Church. The exercises opened with the singing of the hymn, ‘Before Johovah’s Awiul Throne,” after which Rev. Ur. Hitchcock offerea an appropriate prayer. ‘The sixty-seventh Psaim was then read, after which ‘The Rev, WILLIAM Burusr, D, D., late founder and superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Mission in India, Was mtroduced, and proceeded to speak of the labors of the missionary in that interesting land. He said that they had seventeen missionaries in In- dia to-day, with fifty local preacaers and one hun- dred schoolteachers, They had reaiized six hundred and tity members or converts, had @ printing estab- lishment and occupied sixteen of the leading cities, ‘The speaker then went on to give @ general and comprehensive history of the manners, customs and So forth of the Hindoos, and deprecated the apathy which the Methodist Church of the United States evinced towards them by not subscribing Mberally tor their evangelization. He concluded by an earn- estappeal in behalf of tho evangelization of the Hindoos, General ALBRIGHT was next introduced, and sald forum that night in which he had nduierent to the Methodist cause, for the reason hat it was the cause of progress, The Christian reli- ion bore on its broad brow tle principies of politl ‘cal economy and man’s ful enfranchisement. When Christ said “Go forth and teach ali nations,” ne weant that each apostie sould do so, keeping civil land religious liberty in view. As & devotee at the shrine of repuolican liberty, and hav- ing put his fain in the fundamental laws of tus land to the test of the battleneld, how could he be anytuing else than interested In the Methodisu? popes, bishops and priests were now less eutecrati- cai and more Inclined to acknowledge that the voice ofthe people is the voice of God, spirit of Christian liberty was shaking the very Vatican at Rome so that the Itailan soldiers would not ve tiusted? civilization has called forth the Ecumenical Council at Rome? What but this same spirit had caused the revolution in Spain and compelled a corrupt queen to abdicate the, throue. currier of an Illinois town, in 1880, have become the commander-in-chief of ® great army in 1864 ‘Vyraats, emperors, What but the What but the spiric ot Christian In what country could the except America, which placed Ulysses S. Grant there? (Applause.) Think of how 4,000,000 of slaves in the short space of four years had had their clank- ing, frightful chains stricken from their limbs, while Abraham Lincoln beid the pen in his hand, directed by Providence. Tae South was the greatest missionary fleld now open to the word, in his mind, and they had comparatiyeiy easy access to tuem. ‘The negroes were free now, and by and by might attain such a position as that they mighe matert- ally advance evangelization, He understood that a hundred colored young men were now in Rome, where they Were being educated as priests by the Catholic Charch, and that Cluurch was about to ex- pend six lundred thousand doliars among the freed - men of the South, He gave tue Cathouc Church credit for this; but should the Afethodist Church be behindiand in this liberality, aad leave the field un- contested? No, he hoped not. — With the growth of our large cities free schools were atiackea (and in many instances successlully), and the Bible was voted out of our schools. ‘Enis was alarming, and showed that the foreign population was predoml- fant and should be cnecked.

They coulG tell them thas the peopic demanaed @ holy Sabbath, and that their children should be educated with the Bible in their hands. He concluded by saying that America wes the best misstouary fleld of the present day, und they should devote their attention specially to this fold in preference to loreign lands. Rev. Dr. WARREN Was next introduced, and pro- ceeded to give a description of his idea of what mis- sionary work ought to be, instead of what 11 now was. Bishop Smpson foNowed, and sald when the! looked over this world they saw that the worl before therm Was avery large one, Eighteen hun- dred years the Church had been endeavoring to con- vert the world, aud yet but about one-third of It had been Christianized. “In this raiio tt wouid take thir- ty-six hundred years more before the world could be converted unless taey accomplished imore work, There are seven hundred millions of people yet to be Christianized. Jf these were to be Chrisuanized in one thousand years, then there ought to be seven. hundred thousand convertedseach year, ‘Thus, it would be seen titat unless they, as Christians, ‘ald more they should never see tue dawn of the glo- rious milenaium.
