4 UNCLE SAM'S CHALLENGERS, Judge Woodruff and the New Election Inspectors, Scones in Chambers Street Yesterday—aAr- rest of Justice “Tony” Hartman, A Seventh Ward Tammany Inspector Cap. tured—Two Hundred of the “Green Hands” Not “On Post’—The List of Challengers. ™ the United States Court building, yesterday, a new feature in the dificulty of making the appoint- ments of the United States sapervisors and chal lengers of elections was presented. It was dis- covered that nearly two handred of those who had qualified on Monlay were not in their positions and could not be found on Tuesday, when they were wanted at the registering places in the city; consequently the powers “that be” were engaged the whole of yesterday filling up the broken ranks and drawing fresh recruits to fill up the places of those who had so unceremoniously taken “French leave of absence.”’ This acounts for the detay in the publication of the names of those appointed until today, It shows an intense Interest im the movement when it has tw be recorded that 200 of the voiun- Wwers quitted the fleld before the battle was wet In array, Or the powder of the enemy within reach of their nostrils. Their places, however, with one single exception, have been filled, and the fol- lowing incidences will prove that they have already commenced reconnottring, aad that in some cases SKIRMISHES OCCURRED on Tnesas in the capture of some of the “big uns” from the enemy. It could easily be ascertained that all was not smoothly and favorably progressing tn reference to the new ofticers of elec'ton and registration, de- spite the great care and even secrecy with which these affairs have been conducted.

A Paying Teller “Ivrregular” to the Tune of $50,000—Nobody Hurt. For a few days past rumors have been in circula- tion that a heavy defalcation had heen made by one of the employes of the well known banking house ot Winslow, Lanier & Co., No, 27 Pine street. The facts of the case were of course largely exaggerated, and, while some truth attaches to the report charg- ing that the paying teller was somewhat ir- regular, the basis of the exciuing mtelligence that a large haul had adroitiy been mate away with seems to dwindle into comparative in- signtticance. Since the banking house referred to does not deal in stocks thelr business cannot seriously be affected by the affair, and the loss, slight as it appears to be, can ely have any effect upon so wealthy a firm, Inquiries made yes- terday at Messrs. Winslew, Lanter & Co.'s estabiish- ment showed that the ‘shock’? had apparenil; created bur iiftie agitation in the concern, an although the oMictals were naturally reticent to the minutest detalis of the allege! defaica- tion, there was every indication of independent. ease and forgetfulness respecting them. The afair 1s therefore entirely divested mystery and romance. James Wallace, the teller, was in the employment of Winslow, Lanter & Co. some fitteen rs. He is carey years Old, au ried man, Some weeks ago he took his v: andin his absence it was discevered that ie bad’ been some- | what irregular in his accounts. What the exact “regularity” amounts to is a secret in the banking: a house, but it is belicved that 600 would make matters square. Wallace, whe, 1. may be mentioned, stood pretty well wi his employers, voluntarily returned to tae ban days since, But steps are being taken tow of the affair are not known banking house oMictais theutseives, Suffice tt, howev the concern is well informed upon aud will probably regulate it as autts. factorily a8 possibie ng house some veabouts or what * final settlement except, perhaps to the TRE COLORED Wav * OVENS.

RELIGIOUS CONVENTIONS. PRESBYTERIIN REUNION, First Joint Meeting of the Syued of New York—“Long Parted Have We Been”— Interesting Historical Reminiscence—The oO mth if On Tuesday the Presbytertan Synod of New York, embracing the tive Presbyteries of Boston, Hudson, New York, North River and Westchester, convened at the First Presbyterian church, Newburg. Rev. F. R, Masters, D. 0., of Matteawan, Moderator of the North River Presbytery, was appointed tempo- rary moderator, The General Assembly was divided in 1837, in Philadelphia, but the local division of the Church in this State did not take piace until the Synod met im Newburg, in Dr. John Johnston s church (gow the Union church, Kev, Wendell Prime, pastor), in October, 1838. Notwith- standing the painfal nature ot the division, both branches of the Church have been wonderfully pros- perous, and are now led back again into one fold at the very place where, @ generation ago, they parted. ‘The Synod has within tte jurisdiction about one hundred and sixty churches and over three hundred delegates, About two hundred and fifty answered to their names when the roll was calied on ‘Tuesday, afternoon. There arc few Presbyterian churches in New England, aud ihese are attached to New York as the noarest Synod. As the body includes the churches of New York city—the great financial centre of the country—it is natural that the Synod shoul give a very large proportion of what the Presbyter.au Church contributes for benevolent operations. Few reons realize the extent of these beuefactions, veral of the New York churches make anpuat cou- tributions to the cuuse of hone and foreign missions amounting, in the case of each church, to the re- spectable figure of $50,000, The opening sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Newell, of New York city, He took for ils text Luke x1v., 23:—"And the Lord said unto the sr. vant, Go out tno the highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled.” He urged the adoption of more adequate measures for the evangelization of the poor of our large cities than are emp.oyed, At the cigse of te sermon the synod fas constituted by soleun devouonal services, Tits is the first mect- ing of the reunited body since its dl- vision in 1838, and several of those who participated in the proceedings at the time of the separation were present at this reuniou, though most of them have been ‘gatnered to their fathers.” An organization was effected by the election of the following officers;—Moderator, Rev. Dr. Prentice, of Park Avenue church, New York Temporary Cierks, Rev. Dr. Potts, of New York city, and Mr. Robert @. Kankin, of Newburg; Stated Clerk, Key. O, M. Johnston; Permimieat Clerk, Kev. Dr. Roswell M, Suuth, of New York. THE SYNOD will continue in session four days. The following is the programme of sessions and servi as far as Diade out; —Morning sessions commenve at nine and and close at twelve; first hal! hour to be spent in devotional exercises, Afternoon session from two twotive. Yesterday at four P. M, the Sacrameot of tie Lord's Supper was administered at Calvary chureh, and tn the evening the Synodicai prayer miceting was held at vu Chures. NATIONAL UNITARIAY CONFERENCE. by the Rov. Dr. Bellows—Condition and Prospects of tho Unitarian Fody~The Downfall of the French Emperer and the Pope Will Favorably Alect Liberal Pro- testantism. The first morning sesstou of the fourth Vottarian Conference was held at ten A. M. at the Church of the Messiah, Park avanue, yesterday. There were $42 dclegates present, representing 200 Unitarian churches and assoctatious of the different States and Territortes of the Union, The Conference was very largely atteuded, mostly by ladies and gentle- men in that period of ite which is associated with falling leaves. After an opening prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wheeler, a committee of three, consisting of Mr, Robert Coll- yer, Rev. Dr. Brigham and Rev. Charles Lowe, were unanimously elected, to nominate a tempo- rary chairman, In place of Mr. Thomas D, Elltott, deceased. The Rev, Mr. Ellis and the Rev. Mr. Wiggins were appointed secretaries of the Con- ference. A report of the Council was read by Rev. Dr. Bel- lows, beginning with a eulogium on the late Mr. Thomas }). Elliot, whose death has caused a vacancy in the midst of the conference, The Speaker gave aglowing account of the past records, the condi- tion and prospects of the local cenferences of the Unitartan Association, He noted their steady in- crease in zeal-and wisdom. The repott recommends a hearty co-operation with the sister churches. The Unitarian body is divided only as the Christian Church always has been, some adhering to the Christ of God, others to the spirit of God, and so long as the God behind both is not denied this difference ought not to separate brethren or occasion denial of Christian fellowship, Next iu importance to the organization of conferences 1s the ade- quate supply of the ministry. It has hitherto been furnished by the theological schools oi the de- nomination, and by converts from the ministry of other creeds. The Counct! recommends the appoint- mensof a tiibunal whose task ft should be to test the qualifications and Christian character of the applicants from (he latter clas. It also recom- roends that the theological schools of the denomina- tuon should give six months’ free instruction to such converts. The object of these schools should be to lift theology to her own throne as queen of ine science. ‘The downfall of the empire in France and the end of the Pope's reign in Italy huve opened new fields to liberal Protestantism in (hose regions. The cause of the Unitarians is steadily reviving in England, and free thought has nowhere bolder and abler champions than in that country ot orthodox Pro- testantism. <A special correspondence with the liberal Protestant organizations in Paris and Geneva, and the granting of a small subsidy to the former 1s further recommended. The Council proposes the erection of a national Unitarian church in the District of Washington. It should be a commanding edifice, As the Unitarians in Washington are comparatively few in number they cannot sustain, alone, the burden of this ex- pense. The Council therefore proposes to raise $100,000 towards the erection of a@ national Umtarian church, which shonld also be open to the liberal Christians of other acnominations, It ts further recommended that a review be started to represent the thelogical setence of the body, which should be sustained by the Conference. The speaker stated the dissemina- tion of the denominational literature has never been noon, but Bishop Eastburn previously administered the Holy Communion to a number of the clergy and laity, The chair was occupied by Mr. John Oonyng- ham. He made a brief address, congratulating the | soctety upon the satisfactory and healthy condition of its affairs, During the past year 1ts efurts had bcen crowned Wilh the most graitfy:ng results, ANTHON, the Secretary, then read the eleventh annual report. The receipts had becn $46,477 1, and m addition there had been the sum of pon 02 speciaily contributed tor work in Spanish America, noder the supervision of the society, For other ob- jects not wholly under the control of t he soctety, but in which it Was greatly interested, $21,093 80 had been received, For foreign missions there were still further spectal contributions of $5,016 13. Altogether the total recetpts for the year had heen $64,564 60, Sixty-one missionaries had been con- malasioned tn the course,of the year, eleven of Whow, however, were only reappointed, less than fifty- Six Were now engaged in the work under, the au- spices of the society, Who were distributed as fol- lows:—Califernia, 1; Delaware, 1; Kentucky, 6; Missourl, 1; Nevada, 4; New York, 3; Colorado, 1; Aspinwall, lf New York city commit- tee, 5; Long Island, 2; Kansas 7; Tennessce, 3; South Carolina, 2; Ohio, 1. The government, averse to employing army Officers as Indian agenis in the future, had made @ proposition to the society to name the future Occupants of these respon-tble pee, The soc ety had agreed to do so on condition hat they were also given the privilege of naming the controlling superintendent and that they incurred no a pecag responsibility. A few remarks were made by Kev, Dr, ‘Tyng and others after the reading of the report, alter wnich the meeting adjourned until evening, when soine ud- ditional interesting addresses were made, REFORMED CHURCH.

Dr. Rodgers pledged bis own church to contribute one-hali of his salary; another Classis wilt rovide the balance. A memorial has been received ‘rom a feeble church tn New Haven, organized and recelyed into the New York Classts, asking for pid to pay off a debt of $1,500, The business of the Classis consists in the reception and action upon the reports of its different comunitiees, MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB. The inaugural meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club will commence on Tuesday, October 25, and continue four days. There will be four races each day, and the programme’ is 4o diversified that the lovers of all styles of racing--dashes, hea's and hurdies—will be bighly grated. On the first day the sports will begin with a hardie race, to be fol- lowed by a $10,000 match between Narragaaset and Stamps; then the Great Diuner Party Stakes, which closed with thirty entries of $1,000 each, half forleit, two miles, will be ru fter which there will be arace at mile heats by three year olds that have not won a single race during the year, the horses to carry one hundred pounda, On the second day the ball opens with the Supper Stakes, a sweepstakes for two-year-olds, which has twenty-five nominations. This will be followed by the Monumental City Handicap, two miles, for ail ages. The nominations for this event are Major, Abdel Kader, Midday, Crown Prince, Nellie James, Ves- pucius, Sue Dougherty and Lida Grissom. The third race will be a selling race of one mile and a quarter, at the usual terms of weights for value of the horse. + The racing of that day will close with the Breakfast Stakes, for four-year-olds, two mules and repeat. There are twelve nominations for this race, which undoubtedly will be a grand affair. On the third day hurdle jumping will open the ball. The second race will bea dash of two miles by three-year-olds, The nominations for this event are Kingfisher, Ecliptic, Major, Midday, My Maryland, Lida Grissom, Flash of Lightning, Item, Lady Clyde and War Path. The third race wiil be for a purse of $1,000, for all ages, a dash of two miles; the day’s business closing with mile heats for all ages. The fourth day opens with a sweepstakes for two- year-olds, @ taile dash, which closed with the follaw- ing nominatioas:—D. D. Withers’ ch, f. by Eclipse, dam Laura Farris; M. H. Sanford’sb. f. Madame Dudley, Mr. Lynch’s b. c. Stanley, and A. K. Rich: ards’ b. c. by Knight of St. George, The second race is a handicap for three-year-olds that have run during the meeting—one mile. The third race Is the Bowie Stakes, for all ages, four mile heats. This grand affair closed with eighteen nominations, and 13 looked forward to as the great event of the :neet- ing. The fourth race, and the closing one of the mecting, will be the Consolation Purse, for beaten horses of all ages—a dash of a mile and a half. The above programme is one of the best that was ever made out, and from the number of horses of well known racing fame that nave already reached the Pinilico Course and are daily taking their gallops, there is no doubt that the flelds will be full and the racing of the first order. One great cvent— the Dinner Party Stakes which will net the winner about ¢20,000-—will be contested for by the best three-venr-olds in the countiy, there bemg originally thirty entries. Some of these, however, bave since died, while several of the others bave broken down and otherwise gone amiss, which will leave a teld of probably not more than ten or a dozen at most; but they will muke a ces- perate ra ce for the great prize. This rich stake will assuredly monopolize the interest of the aay and give rise to some heavy speculations on the result. Another great event of the mecting will be the four mile heat race, which closed with eighteen entries. Should one-half of that number come to the post it will be the largest fleld tor that distance that ever came together in this‘country. The horses that we think sure to start jor the Dinner Party Stakes are:—Moore & Co 3 chestnut colt Foster, by Lexington, dam Verona, by Yorkshire; also, trom the same stable, chest nut colt McCloskey, by Lexington, da Laura, by Leviathan; M. 4H. Sanford’s bay colt Preakness, by Lexington, dam Bay Leas; J. F.
