Janney, Superintendent of In- dian Afairs for the Northern Superinvendency, writes (rom Omaha, under date of 23d inst., to thé Indian Commissione He says on that day be had an interview with Red Cioud and nis chiefs on the subject of a peace between the Sioux and the Pawnees, He repre- sented to them that his people as weil as tue Paw- nees, were at peace with each other, and that the Pawnee chiefs had expressed their willingness to mike a treaty of amity with the Sloux, stating fur- ther that the Great Fatier here had chosen the Friends, as men of peace and long known as the friends of the Indians, and placed them im charge of the Pawnees in order that they might be im- proved and rendered peaceab'e, Snperintendht Jaihey also suggostea that the Pawnee chiefs would meet the Sioux at Columbus, Neb, if they would stop there on the way out, id Cloud replied that the Pawnees had once ‘been one people with them, but had turned against them while they were @Oftending for their rights; that they had joined white soldiers and had killed many of the best among the Sionx, He could not stop now to make a treaty with them; ke had not the time, nor could he do it without consult- ing his people. Another chief with Red Cloud spoke to the same effect, but he used some expressions Which led Superintendent Janney to believe that a good impression was made upon them, and he hopes that fyrther Teflectigh “wl induce them to look favorably upon the proposlt jon. A report was received from the agent of the Kan- a8 Indians, Mahlon Stubbs, through Supermtend- ent Hoag, stating that the squatters have all left the reservation and no unlawful occupants were now upon their lands. A delegation of would-be settlers visited the Indians last week, offering five dollars per capita to remain upon the reservations; gbut their offers were denied, It was said they would be ‘back again soon and takepossession, A detachment of soldiers from Fort Riley are now with the agent to aid him in keeping squatters from the reserva- won. The Indians haye arrived from a successful ‘buffato hunt, all well and satistied. The agent of the Kiowas and Comanches reports from that agency on the 3d inst, that thirty or forty of the roving Comanches and two Cheyennes stole about twenty horses and mules from near the agency on the 24th of May. Several bands have left for the Plains, and are not expected back till fall. Taban- anaca, who: led the raiders, is the only chief who fee)s mad and is the only one living on th€ reserva- tion who hus gone on the warpath. The Currency Bill—Report of the Conference Committee. Representative Garfield to-day submitted to the Honse the report of the committee of conference on the Currency bill. It was ordered tobe printed. He will call for action upon it to-morrow. The biil provides for an issue of $45,000,000 of national bank notes to banks, in addition to the $300,000,000 anthorized by the Currency act of 1864, the amount of notes so provided to be furnished to banking associations organized or to be organized in States and Territories having less than their apportionment, as contem- plated in the Apportionment act of 1865. The seouritics for such circulation deposited with the ‘Treasurer of the United States shall be any descrip- . tion of bonds of the United States bearing coin in- terest. Applications for the circulation shall be made within one year after the passage of this act, and the Comptroller shall issue it to the banks making application, giving the preference to those States and Territories having greatest deficiency. No bank organized under the act shall have a circulation exceeding half a million dollars. A new account of the increased circulation shall be made as soon as practicable, based upon the census of 1870, The Comptroller, at the end of each month, i required to report to the Secretary of the Treasury the amount of circulating notes issued during the previous month, whereupon the Secretary of the ‘Treasury shall redeem and cancel a like amount of three per cent certificates, issued under the acts of March 2, 1667, and July 25, 186s, by giving notice to the holders thereof that the iterest shall cease after the day designated in the notice, and that said certificates shall no longer be available as banking reserves. Upon the deposit of any gold interest bearing bonds of the ‘Treasury of the United States in the manner prescribed in the nineteenth and twentieth sections of the National Currency act it shall be lawful for the Comptroller to issue to the bank making the deposit circulating notes of differ- ent denominations not less than five dollars, and not exceeding in amount eighty per cent of the par value of the bonds deposited, which notes shail bear upon the face the promise of the assoelation to which they are issued to pay them upon presenation at the office of the associa- tion in gold coin of the United States, and shall be redeemable upon such presentation in such coin. The capital of any such banking association is limited to $1,000,000. Banks organized under the preceding sections are required to keep on hand at ‘ail times not less than twenty-five per cent of their circulation in coin, and shall receive at par in pay: ment of debts the gold notes of every other such bank which 1s at the time redeeming its notes in coin. The limit of circulation to $300,000,000 in the Cur- rency act and the requirement that tne banks in San Francisco must redeem their notes at par in the city of New York are removed, The term “lawful money’ in the Currency act, as applicable to banks there organized ona goid basis, shall be construed to mean “gold coin of the United States.’’ ‘Tne bill further provides for the withdrawal from banking associations having a circulation ex- ceeding that contemplated in the act of March 3, 1865, of $26,000,000, This circulation is to be withdrawn, commencing with the banks having a circulation exceeding $1,000,000 in the States hav- ing an excess of circulation and in excess of $1,000,000, and then proceeding pro rata with other banks having a circulation exceeding $200,000 in States having the largest excess of circulation, and reducing the circulation of such in States having the greatest proportion in excess, leaving undisturbed the banks in the States having a stmatier proportion ‘until those in greater exceas have been reduced to the same grade, and continuing thus to make the reduction provided for by this act until the full amount of $25,000,000 shallgbe withdrawn; and the | cixcujation so withdrawn sMMll be distributed among | Nfw YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1870.—TRIPLE SHY, she States and Territories having Jes’ y inan their pro- Portion, 60 a6 WO equalize the same , Provimon ie made where ban! ,s fai) to return the Circulation required within or ¢ year for the sale of their bonds deposited with tne treasurer of the United States for their cir culation.

Mr. 8. 8, Cox, of New York, has received a pet)- ton, numexously signed by the merchants of New York city, praying that the cartage system of the New York Custom House may be abolished. In an- swer Ww the prayer of the petitioners Mr. Cox pre- pared and introduced the following preamble and resoluuon, Wiich were adopted: — Whereas om the 4th of April last this House dl- rected the Secretary of the Treasury to report what changes by contracts, regulations or otherwise had then been made by the Collector of Customs at New York eity with reference to ihe cartage system for goods, the reasons for such changes anc whose in- torest Was thereby aiected favorably or unfavorably; and whereas it is alleged thit the Secretary peremptorily ordered an investigation into said system, having iound the sysiem of doubtful legality and an unjust" exaction on the merchants, carmen and others engaged in commerce in suid clty, and by a letier of mstrac- tions of the Ist of Jane last having restored the gen- eral order sysiem and abolished said cartage bu. reau system, which, notwithstanding said order of the Secretary, still exists through the acts of the Col- leetor alone, who reiuses compilanee with the order of the Secretary, and notwithstanding the written protest of the jerchants of New York city, repre- senting commercial wealta to the amount of $60,000,000, and ayainst the protest of the ware- housemen, carters, trackimen and others engaged in local transportation; theretore, Resolve, That the Secretary of the Treasury com- municate to this House the results of his investiga- tion and his orders and letters in the premises, and that he also communicate whether his instructions have not been complied with, ty the end that legisla- tion may be had if necessary in the premises. The Movements of the President Daring the is Summer, Tn event of Congress holding to its present resolu- ton to adjourn on July 15 the President will not re- move his household to his seaside cottage at Long Branch watil after that time, Should the day of ad- Journment beextended he will take his family and servants to the seaside before the 15th and leave them there while he returns here to await the disso- lution of Congress. During the latter portion of July, ail of August and portion of September, therefore, the Executive Mansion will be abandoned for the more healthful and agr le breezes of the sea, One Secretary and a pol m of the ushers and Mansion Poitce will remain in the building as @ guard, The bin ‘ie fariilly Kervants President will take with niin all and Mehler, the steward of the mansion, also his horses, Most of his time will be passed at Long Branch, though several excursions are talked of during the season of recreation. The President will adopt the same rule in regard to public business as he did fast year, visiting the capital when the exi- gencies of public business require, or at least every two weeks, In order to keep himself advised of the publi¢ business, Substitutes for the Income Tax. ‘The following are the two sections reported by Mr, Sherman ana adopted by the Senate as substi- ‘utes for the income tax stricken out:— First, that sections 120, 121, 122 and 123, of the act of June 30, 1864, and amended by acts of July 13, 1866, and March 2, 1867, shall be construed to impose the taxes thereya mentioned, being taxes on divi- deuds of corporations and salaries of government officers for and during the. year 1870, and that all SUCH taxes sNall be.collected tn the Manner now or provided by law, ‘seco! that for the paepaee of allowing deduc- tons from the incomes of auy religious or social community holdmg all their property and the tacome therefrom jointly and tn common. each five of the persons in such society, and any remaining fractional number of such persons less than five over such groups of five, shall be held to constitute a family, aud a deduction of $1,000 shall be allowed foreach of said families, Any taxes on the incomes, gains und profits of such societies now due and Unpaid shall be assessed and collectea according 10 this provision. Death of the Eay of Clarendon. The British Minister having announced to the Secretary of State this morning tle death of the Eart of Clarendon, the President directed a message of sympathy and regret to be transmitted through our Minister at London. The following despatch was therefore sent by telegraph to Mr. Motley:— DEPARSMENT OF STATE, WasuIncToN, D. C., June 27, 1870, Mr. Morey, Minister, London:—The death of the Earl of Clarendon removes a statesman whose fame belongs to the world, and whose loss will be felt by other nations than that in whose behalf he labored for the advance of civilization and in the interests of peace. The President tenaers the sympathy of the United States to her Majesty and to the British people, and condolence to those to whom the loss brings personal griet. HAMILTON FISH. The Funding Bill. General Schenck succeeded to-day mm getting the Funding bill made the special order for to-morrow after the morning hour, and also in confining the speeches that may be made upon it to five minutes each. The indications are that the bill will be dis- posed of to-morrow in some shape, but whether it will go through as reported by the Ways and Means Committee is doubtful. It will be earnestly opposed by all those who believe with the Secretary of the Treasury that it is impossible to fund the debt in a four per cent bond, The bill will finally go to a conference committee for settlement, as the two houses cannot agree upon it, ‘ Appropriation for the Census. The Secretary of the Interior to-day communi- cated to the House of Representatives a letter irom the Superintendent of the Census asking an appro- Priation of $2,326,000 to defray the expenses of tak- ing the ninth census. It is stated therein that the expense of taking the eighth census was $1,690,000, The Hatch-Babcock Fnvestigation. ‘The majority and minority reports in the Hatch case, together with the testimony, were laid on the tables of Senators this morning; but some of them desiring to examine the document before resuming consideration of the St. Domingo treaty, voted against going into executive session to-day on that subject. The President has addressed a letter to Senator Nye, chairman of the Senate select committee of investigation in the Hatch case, in regard to the protocol respecting the preliminary understanding about the treaties of annexation of St. Domingo or the acquisition of the Bay of Samana. In the letter the President endorsés the action of General Babcock. The United States and Mexican Ciaims Commission met to-day. The commissioners and counsel were present, but nothing of public interest transpired save the reading of a letter of Dr. F. A. Lieber of New York accepting the office of umpire. The Com- mission adjourned until to-morrow noon, Indian Raid in Texus. ‘The mail rider from Austin, Texas, to Fredertcks- burg in that State, reports that on Saturday, the 11th instant, a party of Indians came on the line of Little Barton creek to within fifteen miles of Austin, and stole horses from several parties, who pursued the Indians, and d& they have not returned fears are en- tertained that they have been murdered by the savages. The Question of Whiskey Metres, Commissioner Delano has written a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, stating that when he came into the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue, he found the Tice metre in use, He did not then deem it proper to dispense with it; but complaints had since reached him that the metre is of no practical value, while it is unnecessarily op- pressive to distillers. He has tried to ascertain the justice of the complaints, and after careful observa- tion, experience and practical tests, he is satisfied many of them, to some extent, are well founded, aud that itis not practicable, without detriment to tue revenue, to dispense entirely with the use of the second or credit metre, and also with that portion of the metre known as the automatic Tice metre, and hence in the regulations he has prescribed the jess expensive and useful simple metres to be changed and adoptea for use as simple metres. ‘This arrangement, he says, will prove advantageous to the service, while it will relieve gistiliers fom considerable expense, and permits the automatic metres uOW in use to be changed at a small ex- pense intosimple metres, AWN tful Telegraph Company. ‘The Comutsstoner of Internal Revenue, in reply to the House resolution whether any of the telegraph companies having their offices In the city of New York have refused or neglected to report to the Assessor the amount of gross receipts, states that the Atlantic and Pacifle Telegraph Company peg- jected for five months to make such returns, The neglect, however, was reported by the company Mself, With such explanations as to show that it was not wiifu:, but owing to business circumstances. ‘The tax of $598 was subsequenti? paid, since which ‘me the company has regularly made returns, The French Practice Squadron at Newport. Commander E. 0, Matthews, in cnarge of the Tor- pedo Station off Newport, R, 1., reports to the Navy Department the arrival there of tne French line-of- battle ship Jean Bart and brig Obligado, comrosing the French practice squadron. They wil) remain ten days. The Bureau of Engraving. ‘The close of the fiscal year being near at hand the Secretary of the Treasury bas, as usual, appointed a committee to examine into the condition of the Bureau of Engraving, of which George B. McCartee ischief. Every fackity 1s afforded the committee by the chief of the bureau and his assistants, Murder of n Sheriff in Texas.

EVENING SESSION. Amotion by Mr. Howarp, (rep.) of Mich., to hold an evening session to-day to dispose of the Texas Pacific and the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad bills Was objected to by Mr, Sherman as tending to delay the Tax bill, and gave rise to @ long debate. ‘The motion was finally agreed to, THE TAX BILL came up as unfinished business, ana Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, chairman of the Finance Committee, stated as the result of the consultation in regard to the bill that they had agreed to let all the income taxes go, and a8 @ substitute to retain the tax on sugar a8 it ls now, and also the tax on (a re- ceipts, He said that the House proposition for a classificatton of the tax on sugars had becn objected to by business men throughout the country, and the Senate committce classification had encountered equally strong opposition, The remain- ing sections of the bit would clear up the ambi- ities in-reference to the Wal tax on. divi- lends of corporations, such as insurance c anes, and relative to the Shakers and other religious societies, Instead of striking out the tariff part -of the bill and leaving the whole subject to the determn- nation of a commitiee of conference, he suggested that the Senate should proceed under the five mimute rule of @ebate to act upon-each section separately. iv. Hows, (rep.) of Wis., made an argument for retaining the income tax. Mr. SHERMAN suggested that the question had been decided. He had no hope that tne vote of the Senate would be changed. Mr. DRAKE, (rep.) of Mo,, thought that there was reason to hope that the vote would be changed. Mr. Howe contnued his remarks. At a quarter past one o’clock a motion to go into executive session was rejecteds-yeas 23, Nays 40, The income tax sections were then stricken out without a division. Mr. SHERMAN oifered a new section to contine the tax on corporations and salaries during this year. Mr. BAYARD, (dem.) of Del., opposed the continu- ance of the tax mainly in justice to the salaried employés of the government, now poorly paid. Mr. SHERMAN sald the personal income tax was being collected for the present year and the income taxes should cease at the saine time, Besides, the provision had already been adopted by the Senate. ‘The amendment was agreed to and various others submitted by Mr. Sherman to carry out the recom- mendations of the Finance Committee, The amendment of the Finance Committee to au- thortze the consolidation of collection districts was reed to. “ihe tariff sections having been reached, the amendmenis reported from the committee were dis- cussed, That striking out the duty of five cent: on chicory, succory, dandelion root and acorn cogee, raw, grotind or burned or prepared, and on ail suv: stitutes for coffee, was agreed to. Mr. SHERMAN endeavored to withdraw the amend. ments reducing the dutieg on sugar according to the Senate committee’s classification, so a8 10 allow the rae to remain a6 under the existing laws, Mr. HAMLIN, (rep.) of Me., objected to the with. drawal of the section, and asked to have a vote upon it. He argued in favor of reducing the duty on sugar, believing that the receipts of next year would exceed whose of tie preceding year, while the surplus in the Treasury could be drawn upon if necessary. Mr. SHERMAN opposed the reduction upon the ground that the estimated receipts from revenues would not warrant it, He believed thay increased expenditures would keep pace with any increased receipte, Mr. KELLOGG, (rep.) of La., favored retaining the present rates on sugar, and opposed the tax of three and a half cents on the clarilied sugars, which in- cluded the fine sugars of Louisiana, as striking di- rectly at the interests of the producers of that State in favor of the refiner. Mr. BAYARD hoped that tn this case and all others the present duties on imports might be retained, be- Heving that any change in the tariff should be in hc Goa of @ comprehensive system of aitera- in. Mr. YATES, (rep.) of [il., was in favor of abolishing all taxes on the prime necessaries of life—sugar, tea, and coffee. He advocated tue tariff for protection, as well as for reverrue, Mr. Morton, (rep.) of Ind., referring to the con- tinuance of the present rates on sugar as necessary to make up the loss of revenue by the repeal of the ineome tax, said he would never agree to transfer the burden of the income tax from the rich to the poor. He favored a gradual reformation of the tariff, and orgued that democrats in Congress had favored the highest duties on articles not prodiced im the country, 80 that the lowest might go upon those that were produced here in competition With foreign nations denying all protection. Further remarks were made by Mr. THURYAN, (dem.) of Ohio, in favor of @ general reduction of taxation, and that the oe on sugar Would compel People to pay bounty te a few sugar refiners in the Jnited States that they might make fortunes, Mr. SHERMAN replied that every refiner ii the United Staves was bo nt to the classification both Of the Senate and of the House. At half-pagt tnree the Senate voted upon the amendment striking out the paragrapa in the bill classifying the tax on sugar. ane bree a La ine hl 28, e classification therefore remains, ing is the vote:— YRAs—Messrs, Abbott, 5 eed ate use nays D The {dlow- Bayard, Cole, Conktiog, Corbett, Cragin, Di tou,” Gil tay Hi Kalo sont gee, Mora of mora Fo roy” irtaol jaw) Stewart, Stockton, Warner ant Willams” ig 1 jessrs.

Mr. SHERMAN remarked that the amendment would atrike off- fifty-six millions of revenue, and, if adopted, the whole bill should fail, Mr. YarEs advocated his amendment at length. At four o'clock the House yesolution annomeing the death of Hon. David Heaton, Represertative {from North Cerolina, was received, and, afte? eulo- gies of the deceased and the adoption of thd usual resolutions of condolence, the Senate, at forty-tive miinuies past four, took a recess until evening, Eveni Session, At haif-past seven o’clock the Senate resumed the consideration of THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD BILD, the question being upon Mr. Wilson's amend.

WASHINGTON CITY IMPROVEMENTS, Mr. Bearry (rep.} of Mich., moved to suspend the rules, SO as to empower him to offer an amendment to the Sundry Civil Expenses Appropriation biil, au- thorizing the appointment of a municipal commis- sion, for the dredging and narrowing of the Wash- ington city canal, the levying of a tax of one hun- dred thousand dollars therefor on all the taxable property of the city, and the appropriation of $50,000 from the Treasury. Agreed Ww. The House then, at a quarier past one, went into Be of the whole, Mr. Buftinton in the chair; on the SUNDRY CIVIL EXPENSES APPROPRIATION BILL. The items in regard to the Washington aqueduct gave rise Lo 4 discussion as to the imefficient supply of water to the city, which was attributea to the fact that tne distributing mains are not equal to either the demand or spy. Mr. Cook, (rep.) of 1M moved a substitute to ap- priate under various heads $120,932. Mr. DAWES, (rep.)

He regretted not having been in the House to record his vote ugainst that vandai vote by which the House of Representatives had refused to take.in the ad- joining grounds, As to the talk about removing the capital, he had never regarded itas anything but dosh. So far as disvance wis concerned it mattered. very little where the capital wag. Katiroads had pretty much abolished all distances, and the tele- grapn had abolished ail time. A proposition by Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Ill., to widen the doors between the halls of the House and Senate elicited considerable discussion, Mr. DAWES remarking, on information recetved from the archi- tect, that that would endanger the dome, and Mr. Woop assuring the ambitious gentlemen on the re- publican side that they would not have occasion to pass from the House to the Senate, and that they might consider themselves lucky if they ever got back to the House, Mr. FaRNSwortH withdrew the motion. The items under the head of the Agricultural De- rtment gave rise to a discussion between Messrg, jolman, Dawes, Wilson, of Onio, and others, so th: it was found necessary to rise and go into the House, when the debate was closed on the paragraph, While in the House Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.) of Ohio, desired to make a report from the conference com- mittee on the Currency bill, but objection was mace, The House again went into committee on the Sun- dry Civil Expenses Appropriation bill, ie items for the Agricultural Department were agreed to without amemiment, Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Ill., sent to the Clerk's desk.ond had read a letter from Edward Clark, ar- chitect of the Capitol extension, stating that it must have been a mistake which led to the remark that he had represented the enlargement of the doorways between the halls of the House and Senate endan- geting to this dome. On the contrary, he had per- fected a plan for remodeling the rotunda, one of the features of which was the enlargement of the door- ways. un motion of Mr. BeNsatn, (rep.) of Mo., the item of $25,000 for & private im of A.

Forbes the balance due nim under a contract with the Navy Department for a steam epgine for the Algonquin, $27,330, Mr. FARNSWORTH moved to strike it out, criticized the action of the Committee on Appropriations in reporting it, and expressed the opinion that the chairman of the committee (Mr. Dawes) was like tock, “Sly, sir—devilish sly.’? Mr. Dawgs retorted on Mr. Farnaworth as being 80 constituted that he could not belleve any one else to be honest, and intimated that he did not desire to be measured by the gentleman from Illinois or by his standard of morality. The item had been re. ported because the Secretary of the Navy said it was to liquidate a balance due this man—not a claim, but a debt. Mr. FARNSWORTH sald he had not attacked any, body, and that the unusual wrath and excitement displayed by the gentleman from Massachusetts was entirely unnecessary. He did not suppose every man dishonest, and his friend from Massachusetts sok unnecessary umbrage at what he had said. He had said he thought hiua sly, aud the fact tiat when no specie legislation in tt was a tittle sly, After some further discussion the motion to strike Out the item was rejected.

Clase Day Exercises of the Class of 1870. Yesterday was Class Day at Princeton College, and @ large and highly respectable assemblage was pre- senton the occasion, About eight o'clock in the morning the weather assumed a rather threatening aspect, anv fears were entertained that an Inause piclous day would render the open alr exercises Gisagreeable if not altogether Lmpossible. About eleven o’¢lock, however, the lowering clouds had gradually drifted away, and the sun shed his bevefi- cent rays over the city of Princeton, sending thrills of joy and gladness tirough many an anxious heart, and assisting materiaily in rendering the Class Day exercises Of the class of '70 unusually tnteresting, The diferent morning trains from New York and Philadelphia brought numbers of dlstinguisnea visitors, and by noon the hotels and college grounds at Princeton were alive with happy groups of tadies and gentlemen waiting the first soul-stirring strains of the Seventh Regiment Band, which was to an- nounce the opening of the day’s programme, At one o'clock P. M. @ procession consisting of the stuients and professors was formed and passed througn the college compus to the Virst Presbyterian church, where the exercises Commenced. As the class of 1870 entered the church, preceded by Dr. McCosh, the President, they received a hearty wel- come from the large audience that filled every avail- able space in the edifice. THE EXERCISES IN THE CHURCH consisted of a class poem, by Thomas D, Supple, of Pennsylvania, the Cliss poet of 1870; class oranon, delivered by Thomas B. Brown, of New York, and the class ode, recited by Adrian Hoffman Joline and sung by the class, The class poem is a beautiful composition, and reflects g: credit on the poetic genius of its author, The oration also was good, and the orator was frequently applauded during its He took for his weme “The indeflutie- Perfectability of Man,’ and a Clear and iogical sivle edad to show that the various faculties of the mind can be improved to an mdefimte degree, The faculty of indefinite improvement alone distin- guished human beings irom the other different species of the anlinalkingdom, The gentleman aiso, Mi strong aud forcibie language, denounced tue POLITICAL CORRUPTION of the age in which we live. He did not wish to be understood as referring to any class or yarty, as he believed bad and unprincipled men could be found in both poliiicai camps, ‘The idea that a man ought to adhere to bis party wheter rightor wrong was preposterous and productive of inmoraiity ina gov- ernment constiiuted as ours is, The rising genera- tion had it in their power to remedy these growing evils and to render the political atmosphere of this glorious republic free from the corrapting tuilu- ences of parly Gemayogues aii unprincipied private corporations. He aiso alluded to the existing bick- eriugs afd private antmosities resulting from the late war, and recommended that spirit of toterance and forbearance which free ang enlightened men ought to exercixe towards one anotier. The orator Of the class also referred to the growing spirit of RELIGIONS SCRPTICISM, 8o prevalent jp bie present age. ‘This evil was par- tially the result of that system of free thought and free relfgion which the lnstity guarantee to 16 subjects, privileges would uot be 80 abused by the educate porilon of tue community as to 1ead to irreligion and @ forgetiuiness of tneir duties to the great Creator. Ge then alluded tn complimentary terms to the President of the college, Dr. MeCosh, 2s aiso to his, predecessor, Dr, MeLean, who appeared on the plat- form. In addressing his lellow graduates he alluded in feeling terins to the memories and assoctations counected with their Alma Mater, and he hoped that the class of 1870 wouid not be backward ia con- tributing towards the matnienance and support of the Institution to which they owed such a deep debt of grautade, Dr. McCosH then thanked the speaker for his friendly allusion to himsell a8 president, He thanked the audience for their attendance on the occasion, He knew tke feelings that prompted them to be present at and to witness the exercises, The »pa- rents, friends and lovers of the senior class were, donbuess, animated by motives of the highest and boblest character, and on the part of the college he thanked them ali for their attendance. It was well known that the college was a quiet and sober institution of learning; but once a year it was seized with @ certain inania, Which must be pro- bably attribated to the soisticial term or to the aj proaching dog days. He was president of the col- lewe only three hundred and sixty-four days of the yer the other day the gove: went of the iustitu- tion was carried on by the senior class, Imconse- quence of the authority of the president and faculty being set asile he expeoted thit some great mis- takes would be made, and he did not wonder that ice aistrsbugien Roe eb men wan ” may be the best man, the “laziest iuan" the most attentive student, andthe prize for the “ best mus- tache”’ may be given to a youth who has nota single hair on his chin, He tien spoke of his pre- decessor, Dr. McLean, in very eulogistic terms, and us remarks in this respect were warmly applauded by the students, Dr, McLean then addressed the students in a few brief and appropriate. words, He recommended ‘Shean to listen Uo the instructions and ‘follow the ad- vice of their learned and venerable president, and that they would surely b me imtelligent men, good Christians and useful cil as. Prayer Was then offered by Dr. McCosh, who also Pronounced the benediction, which concluded the exercises which took place in the church, The audience was duly netifled by the master of ceremonies, Wiiliam P. Schell, to meet in front of the library to witness the presentation by the class of, “Knight's Encfclopedia,” consisting of eleven volumes. The volumes were presented to the col- lege library and Mr. William Bynum Glen delivered an oration on the occasion. In receiving the Iberal donation Dr. McOosh thanked the class and reierred to the college library and gymnasium; also to the apparatus of the college. The three departments were scantily furnished at present, but he was happy to say that some charitable ladies had yolun- teered to make these departments in every respect equal to those of any College in the United States, He urged the students to cul'ivate a taste for study and to fit themselves in {every manner possible to discharge efficientiy the active duties of lie which they were about to enter. THE CANNON EXERCISES then took place beneath ihe shady trees In the large » grounds at ned to the college. The cannon ex- ercises consisted of ‘History of the Class,” given by Frank H, Perce, of New Hampshire. The historian entered into a lengthy detail of the studies, amuse- ments and other duties of the class, which he described in a, very humorous and pleasing style, eliciting frequent applause and keeping the audience in the best possible humor. ‘The presentation address followed, delivered by Mr. Henry Schenck Harris, of New Jersey. This gentleman aiso was 80 humorous and witty in his remarks that the andi- ence was considerably amused. Vrizes Were then awarded to the best gymnast, best (’) mustache, wittiest (?) man, wickedest man, biggest foot, inquisitive man, largest man, &c. The contestants for the various prizes drew forth the greatest possible amount of merriment, that fre- quently put the audience in an intense state of ex- citement.

The Kelly prize debate between the literary socie- Utes of the College of the City of New York took piace last evening at Steinway Hail. There was, notwith- standing the uncomfortable weather, quite a large audience, who seemed during the proceedings more anxious to keep cool by means of incessant fanning than to give an attentive ear to the speakers, It would be almost impossible to give anything like @ coraan ar of the arguments used by the youn, gentlemen who took part in the debate, not so much from the fact that the question debated was rather peculiar—not to use a strong expresaion—but that each person who took part in the discussion spoke twice, thus effectually weakening the general argu- ments put forth by both sides in the first encounter, The momentous question was, ‘18 the whole con- ition of society resuiting from the influence of a popular form of government favorabie to the growth of a splendid national literature?” The gen- tlemen who spoke in the affirmative were the fol- lowing members of the Phrenocosmian Soctety:— Michael H.

Harlem Brutes Seduce a Child Thirteen’ Years of Age--She is Fastened to the Floor by Iron Bands—Kept from Her Home Near- ly a Month—Some of the Scoundrels Arrested.

The door was immediately locked afver her eutrance and there was no other egress. A of the females present, with one exception, were young, and none over fifteen yeurs old, The entvance of the two was greeted with shouts by all THE MALE BRUTES prevent; several of the cuildven were weeping, and then the interrupted orgies recommenced. Upon Matilda’s refusing to accede to the iustful desires of Reilly he took “four sharp-pointed hooks or clamp from his coat pocket” (as stated in her affidavit), and securing them on her wrists and ankles, mean- time threatening her life every moment, FASTENED HER TO THE PLOOR. He theu satiated lis vile passion upon her person, using her i a manner the particulars of which are unt for pablication, She Was then taken to another shanty, t% #® similarly isolated and dark, dreadfal and lonesome —jocalit the New York side of the bridge, in L et, where she was kept nearly two weeks, during which tme Keilly, first locking her in, brought several other men, all of Whom, one aficr another, violated her person, and several times leaving her almost if not quite senseless on the foor, the shanty having no funiture whatever. The villains then, tanking that shane would prevent her from leaving them, removed her toa dwelling mouse, Which the police will not permit being named as yet, they tal ry room for her and one of ler seaucers, and there she was kept until she succeeded in ELUDING HER PERSECUTORS, and left them, penniless, bein ‘en compelled, im her dreadiul condition, to wal ll the way back ta her distracted father and svepmother, Mr, and Mrs. Thomas White, in Mount Vernon, Westchester county, She has since identified the second shauty into which she was taken as bole dast 12ist street, between ave- fine A and ‘st avenue.

Lecture by Dr. Arnot at the Hall of Young Men’s Christian Association, A Scottish divine—tne Rev. Dr. Arnot—deiivered @ lecture last evening at the hall of the Young Men’s Christian Association in Twenty-third street on the subject of “Water.” The speaker began by de- scribing the formation of the world, in chaos, from fire and water. Describing an arch, he seized upon the idea that mortar could net be made without water, and, rising to a sublime height of rhetoric, traced @ particular drop in the dew and rain to ® mountain gorge. Higher up he soared, becoming autmated by the subject, tll bis enthust- asm found expression in the transition of the liquid jobule from the filth in which it might have been immersed to the heavens which it entered, PURE AS AN ANGEL, * Then, with a touch of pathos, he added:—If tho tears of men could be traced—the tears, for instance, of that ‘Man of Sorrows,” to what @ history would they give birth! Of transitions from the pure to the impure; from the pearly dew to the black clocoa of the sewers, Paschal fell upon the master stroke of his philosophy when the monks of St. Bernard showed him that it was tmpossibie to boil meat in the higher regions of the Bd on account of the rarity of the attnosphere. The philosopher bad been regaled by the monks with roaat meats and broiled, but when he asked for botled meats they shook their heads. Then the erane partially explained the physical causes for this apparent phenomenon, and ‘Shence passed into a review of THE BIBLICAL HISTORY OF WATER, from the streams of the mountains of Samaria to the wells of the desert. The entire lecture was re- lete with Scriptural allusions, and was undoubtedly Intended to convert the heathen as well as interest Mm. Alter the lecture proper the speaker esaayed a few remarks on the subject of tne Bi speaking: nations.
