Rome, June 26, 1974, ‘The Pope to-day, receiving a deputation trom the Roman nobility, said:—“The demonstration of Sunday last was a spontaneous and magnificent act of the people.

In the House of Commons to-day Captain Baillie Cochrane moved a resolve in favor of the inter- ference of the government for judicial reform in Egypt, “because England is deeply interested in the uninterrupted navigation of the Suez Canal.” Mr. Bourke, Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, stated that the chief obstacle to such re- form was France, who hesitated to abandon the position she had acquired in Egypt. Ifshe per- sisted in her refusal to conform with the views of the other Powers the only course which remained for them would be to act without her. Captain Cochrane’s motion was not agreed to. PUBLIC WORSHIP AND POLITICS. The opponents of the Public Worship Regulation Dill, waich passed the House of Lords last night, declare that it is useless and @angerous; that it affecta questions of doctrine unfavorably, attacks the ritualists unfairly, and jeopardizes the union of Church and State. The Marquis of Salisbury, Secretary tor India, and other tories vehemently opposed the measure, and it is understood will appeai to the House of Commons to reject it. The bill recognizes the present cumbersome Ec- clesiastical Courts, so as to enable them to take Speedy cognizance of new ceremonies. WEATHER REPORT.

Havana, Juue 26, 1874, An address has been presented to Captain Gen- eral Concha, signed by business men of all | branches of trade. It represents that, “in view of | the frighttul condition of financial affairs, which threatens the ruin of the country and menaces the authority of Your Excellency, it is the duty of | every good Spaniard to come to the aid of the government with such resources as he can com- | mand, Gold to-day is quoted at 292, ana will un- doubtedly soon reach 1,000 if speedy and supreme | efforts are not made to check the rise, Rates of | foreign exchange, like those of gold, are also going up indefinitely. This upward movement, | Wf continued, will soon bring about general bankruptey, and will make the cost of the necessaries of life so high that the people will be unable to endure it. The consequences of this ae- | Plorable state of things would be incalculable. It | is the duty of all to try to prevent it, On this | account, and for the above reasons, we ask for the imposition of a tax of five per cent on the riches of the island, which are represented by | landed property in city and country, and by com- mercial and banking institutions and others, to | be paid quarterly for two years, beginning with July 1, 1874. It is hoped that, at the end or this | period, the war will be concluded, and there will ve uo turther necessity for measures.”” The subscribers of the above document pledge themselves to pay their part of the tax, and anxiously await a decree levying the same and making the necessary provision for enforcing 1ts collection. A COUNCI!, OF GOVERNMENT CONCERNING FINANCE, A meeting is to be held to-night at the Palace. The Captain General will preside. All the neaas of the different branches of trade are invited to be present and discuss the financtal situation. THE PER CAPITA TAX ON SLAVES INCREASED. — | Article XVL of the Law of July 4, 1870, provid- ing for the gradual abolition of slavery, declares that the government is to indemnify the owners of slaves emancipated by the law, and for tnat pur- pose an annual tax is to be imposed on all slaves between the ages of eleven and sixty years, of twenty-five cents each. Captain General Concha | to-day issued a decree increasing the tax to sev- enty-five cents per capita. WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH CLASSES."?

SYRacusg, N. Y., June 26, 1874, The investigation into the cause of the recent | disaster was continued to-day and important evi> dence was elicited, One of the witnesses sworn was M. C. Palmer, a leading citizen and chairman of the Building Committee. He swore that the | truss which gave way was put in under the advice | and consent of the architect who was | paid to superintend the construction of | the building; 16 was first proposed to | have the floor rest upon iron columns, | but the trustees authorized a change if the archi- | tect satd it could be done with safety; H. N. | White, of this city, was the architect; he sald a | truss could be used with satety; iron columns | were put in, but, with this advice of the architect, | were taken out and a truss put in; this was done | after the roof was on; the committee left it with the architect. This testimony was corroborated by other wit- nesses. Dr. C. L. Chandler, Clerk of the Board ot Trustees of the church, testified that the change | from the iron pillars to a truss to support the floor | Was authorized by the Board, on advice of the architect. It having been asserted that the Butld- ing Committee had neen warned, Mr. Palmer em- phatically denied it. William Dickison, one of the firm of the builders who erected the church, testified that iron pillai were first put io, but taken out by consent of the architect and a truss putin. The architect INSPECTED AND ACCEPTED THE WORK. Everything was done by his ordera. From the tes- timony of Mr. Dickison, who was a rather unwill- ing witness, Whose answers were drawn out by questions, it appears that the tim- ber whicn formed the chord of the truss | was in three lengths. The first was composed of | four pieces of two by eight joists spiked together; | the two were solid pieces of timber. The entire | length was about forty feet. This timber was not spliced, but halved together at the end, the vint resting on the iron post. When the truss was put in the same pieces were used, not being spliced, but being joined together with iron bolts and iron plates. A straining beam. sup- ported on struts, was put in, the ends of the struts not resting on the walls more than about a foot and a half from the end of the chord. ‘The truss was put in without taking down the roof in order to save expense. A straining rod was also added, to keep the struts | from slipping out. One of the joints in the chord beam was so placed that the half notch of one portion did not hold the end of the other. The Suspension rods were then put in, the chord not | extending above to the straining beam. A short | iron rod ran from the chord to the straining beam. | One of the joints was placed between the suspen: | sion rod and the rod leading up in such a way that the two ends of the joint were pulled instead of | drawing them together. | A cross section of the chord was measured and shown at the inquest to have been cut away in such @ manner, jor bolts and joists, that only thirty-three square inches remained out of 112. The builder admitted that he would not put in | Such a truss on his Own responsibility. He says | the architect inspected and accepted it. The in- | | vestigation Will be resumed to-morrow. THE " PRESIDENT'S TRIP. | Yesterday in the Mountains of Vir- inia—A Levee Given by Mrs. Grant— Future Movements of the Party. | GREENBRIAR WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Va., June 26, 1874, After the fatigue of the long railroad trip of yes- terday the Presidential party enjoyed a comforta- ble sieep under blankets, and they arose this morning exceedingly refreshed. The time was | passed very quietly and agreeably. In the morn- | ing the President, accompanied by Dr. Norris, took a walk over the entire grounds around the springs. At one P. M. the President ana Mrs. Grant held a@ levee at the Preston Cottage and were called upon by most of the visitors. | Walker Lewis, & colored dignitary from Washing- } ton and an employé here, acted as master of cere- Monies, and the guests were introduced by J. C. Gillingham Pell and Elias ©. Kennedy, of Philadcl- | phia, ‘The conversation was purely social and conventional, but pleasant, Alter par- taking of a choice collation the visitors took their leave, very favorably impressed with the Chie Magistrate. Mrs, Grant was highly com- plimented by the ladies for the dignified and graceful manner in which she received them. In the evening the President, Mrs. Grant and Dr. Norris took @ two hours’ drive through the moun- tains in Colonel Peyton’s drag. The party will leave here to-morrow, at eight A. M., for Charles. town, where they will spend a day or two with the | President's relatives, returning on Monday to Washington. General Grant has declined to visit St. Louls on the Fourth of July, tion—Brooks’ Forlorn Hope. The representatives of the ci-devant, Brooks’ government, headed by Governor Brooks, were in consultation to-day as to what is to be done in con- junction with the committee of tnvestigation which is to proceed to Arkansas. There has been considerable uncertainty as to the movements of the committee up to this moment, but it has finally been determined that Messrs, Sayler and Ward, as a sub-committee, will start for Little Rock on the 10th of July, in order to be present on the eve of the Constitutional Convention, which takes place on July 14. Despatches have been re- ceived here to-day which assert that the people are being intimidated in their exercise of the right of free suffrage, and an earnest request is made that “Governor” Brooks shall return at once to Arkansas, Judge Poland, the Chairman of the committee, has been temporarily called home, but he is determined that the committee shall go the whole length of the investigation to be had and he will proceed to Little Rock as soon as possible. Brooks’ people here are very much disappointed i | that the committee had not started some time | since for their field of duty, The Celebrated Sate Burglary. The Chief of the Secret Service Division, H. C. Whitley, has resigned. The impression prevails that Whitiey acted under instructions trom some one authorized to direct him. This Secretary Bristow will endeavor to ascertain, without re- | gard to whom it may implicate. The Postmaster Generaiship. Mr. Creswell is making arrangements to retire from office next week. Mr. Hale has not yet signi- fled to the President nis acceptance of the Post- master Generaiship. Mr. Creswell, in a conversa- tion with friends to-day, said his object in resign- ing was to resume his law practice; that the Teports as to a prospective appointment to the Austrian mission were groundless, and that the rumors of his going into the banking business are equally so, as he has no such intention at present. An Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Wanted. One of the results of the moiety investigation has been to make the office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury undesirable to those who are worthy to hold the position. The amount of routine drudgery which this oficial must attend to if he discharges his duty faithfully has no charm for those who have been solicited to take the ofice, and Secretary Bristow says that he despairs of finding one in whom he would have the fullest con- fidence who will accept the position. Ratification of the French Postal Treaty. The Post OMce Department this morning re- ceived @ telegram notifying it—and was also om. cially informed by the French Minister—of the Tatification of the postal convention between France and the United States by tne French As- sembly. The French Minister to-day expressed to the Postmaster General his desire that the con- vention go into operation on the Ist of July; but this cannot be done, as the Ist day ot August is fixed for that purpose, and the ratifications have yet to be exchanged. The charge for letters from France to the United States will be ten cents for a third ofan ounce, and from the United States to France nine cents for half an ounce.

The Deposits To Be Made in the Treas- ury by the National Banks Under the New Law. Treasurer Spinner has issued a circular respect- | Ing the ceposits of United States notes by national banks for the redemption of their circulating notes, as required by sections 2 and 3 of the Cur- rency bill, approved June 22. Every national bank, national gold banks excepted, is requested to cause to be deposited in the Treasurer’s OMce an amount of United States notes equal to five per cent of its circulation. In estimating the circu- lation upon which the percentage is required there must be included notes of its own issue in the possession of the bank, as well as those in actual circulation, and there should also be in- cluded any amounts that may have been returned to the Comptroller of the Currency by the bank and for which it is to recetve new currency. The United States notes may be sent to the Treasurer under the contract of the Treasury Department with the Adams Express Company and under the same regulations as are prescribed for the forwarding of the notes and currency of the United States for resumption, The expenses of transportatfon will be paid by the De- partment, which will hereafter be reimbursed for such expenses, If any bank shall prefer it may forward the required amount by its draft on New York, Boston or Philadelphia, drawn to the order of the Treasurer of the United States and payable in United States notes. If so drawn and paid in such notes credit will be givenio the bank when collected. If payment is not made in United States notes the draft will be returned to the bank and a deposit of such notes will be required to be made by express. Acknowledgment will be made to each bank for its deposit, when completed, by re- mittance to it of a certificate in proper form. Dying Advice of Cochise to His Tribe— Peace To Be Preserved.

The Plymouth Pastor at His Peekskill Farm. M BEECHER’S SILENCE. The Friday Night Talk and the Inter- view That Followed. PEEKSKILL, June 26, 1874, Though the inhabitants of Peekskill are very proud of having the most popular preacher in the | world as one of the.r inhabitants, the talk yester- day at the corners of the streets and the stoops of the stores was not “Beecher,” but “boat.” The great sculling contest of the previous day and the | victory of one of the Peekskill boys absorbed all | meaner things and the result was that men had boat | on the brain so strongly that the popular and only | question thht could be heard was, “How much did | you Win on the boat race?” There is very little doubt that Peekskill has gained greatly in money by this race and something in reputation. The Plymouth pastor is, however, Peokskill’s “stand- | by” when it desires to stand well as a summer re- sort and as the ne plus ultra of country life, There ig no need to speak twice toa hackman at the de- pot when you say, “Drive me to Mr. Beecher’s.” ‘They speak of Mr. Beecher with as mucn respect as if he were the oldest inhabitant, and not an oc- casional summer resident at his farm. ludeed, so popular is the name of Beecher that, amusing inappropriateness, an enterprisi zen bas named a lager beer saloon, nearly opps site Mr. Beecaer’s farm, as “The Beecher House. " vn Thursday evening Mr. Beecher was greeted by @ large audience at the Dutch Keform church, about halt a mile below his farm. From the en- thusiasm with which he was received and the at- tention with which his address on Sunday schools was listened to, it did not indicate that his hearers. took much stock in a scandal that had assumed a new feature that day, and the particulars of which occupied a prominent position in all tha New York newspapers. ‘The ladies listened with rapt atten- tion to all he said, and the hard-headed men who formed the ininority of the congregation were manilestly proud of the star speaker ol their meet- ing. Mr. Beecher spoke with a giow of pride and enthusiasm of the “Bethel mission” tn connection with bis own church and commended the taste that had been displayed in its erection and decoration to tne im.tation of those whom he was addressing, in any endeavor they may make in the initiation of a school of a similar character. Alter the benediction had been pronounced by Mr. Beecher he was warmly shaken by the hand by the principal members of the congregation. A slight reference was made privately by one friend to the new version of the scandal, and Mr. Beecher was congratulated on the serenity with which he bore himseli under the infliction, Mr. Beecher’s reply was characteristic. “These things will not move me. Why should they?” he asked. To all inquiries as to what he woula do in regard to them Mr. Beecher was thoroughly non-committal. He said it was not for him to do anything, it was tor his church to take action, and to that action he should defer. There was nothing revealed in the recent publisued Story that had not been known to the principal members of the church long ago, and as to the penitential tone and admissions or the letter, about which so much had been said, that was ca- pable of an explanation, and which was already known tosome of his friends. No practical good could come of any further tllumination of a story that had already been buried in a way that had been satistactory to everybody who had any in- terest in it.” With these remarks, which were of the same incidental character as given above, Mr. Beecher bade his friends “good by;’’ his wagon and team were waiting for him outside of the church. Into this, atter putting Mrs. Beecher and a lady friend, he drove to his farm, where he will Stay until mid-day to-day, and then go to New York to attend his Friday night prayer-meeting. The Friday Evening Talk. In spite of the rain last evening the Plymouth. church lecture room was crowded, in anticipation of hearing something unusual, in which they were disappointed. Mr. Beecher opened the services | himself by prayer, and after a hymn Brother Robert Raymond prayed that the pastor might not only trial, and that the congregation, following him as he followed the Master, might sit down on the hilis»of Paradise and smile at what troubled them im this life. Alter another hymn Mr. Beecher said, I re- member when I was a lad that the idea of religion was that tne people had no tears, that they had a well-spring of joy within them and were always happy. That used to be largely the representation, and is still in some degree, It is one of the appeals made by zealous Christians—“Come into the Church, come to Christ.” I have heard men say, “I have | enjoyed more in one day in the Church than in years outside it,” and this, though | answering a good purpose, has gone beyond the truth a great deal. Now, it is true that real faith in God and hope in Jesus Christ has a tendency to equauze and tranquilize our feelings, that they hold in subjection the causes of discontent, and that they clotne one with a sense of protection; but it seems to me, looking at the thousand details of life, now there is a feeling that joy in the Lord is joy come down trom heaven, unlike any other Joy, @ sort of sacred fire iniused in us; 1 don’t undertake to say this is not true, sometimes; I believe in divine entnusi- asm to-day among God’s people in special emer- gencies, What we want isa divine blessing that Shall go with us in the minor details of life. One may fet, up on Sunday morning ina New England vii- lage and go forth down the village to church. Everybody goes in, and singing goes up trom every one, and the services are inspiring. I can imagine such a person feeling a transcendent joy. But next day is washing day, and though they believe God 1s in the sanctuary there are not many who believe He is in the washing room. Children are cross, the servant unreliable, dinner not cooked, husband impatient. It is not much trouble to rejoicein the Lord on Sunday when there is nothing to trouble us, but on week days, when everythin’ goes criss- cross, it 1s another matter. We have not much to do with angels and archangels. 1s there any- thing 1n religion that will enable a man to rejoice in Monday joy—not Sunday joy or prayer meeting Joy? I think there ts. Ibeheve it isin the power of God’s be ad to set their heartsas men set watches. I think men may SET THEIR HEARTS every morning by the heart o! God. I think the early hours of the morning are ones in which we may see God. I have a strong impression that the first hours of the morning are the rudder of tne day, if a man recognizes his sonship to God in that hour, and if he can com- mit his soul in welldoing to God he sets bis whole day, and 4 om can learn | the lesson of rejoicing in the Lord in common times, you need not be afraid but that will be an education for higher joys, It is Jar more impor- tant for us to have many small joys than a iew large ones, This sweet content, day by day, It is what you are, not what you say, that has power—the unconscious quality of your daily dis- position, the honest purpose and the partial victory. I think I speak the experience of many | when I say that vhe serenity and cheeriul trusts | of Christians have produced a greater effect on minds than any other thing. Here | Mr. Beecher gave an opportunity for any | who teit so disposed to speak. Mr. White said he would like to ask @ question. Said he, | was taught to believe that £F, came down ‘from | heaven with the new birth, but 1 got over that | idea bravely. 1 saw genial fellows who could joke and teil a story, on Sunday put on long faces and act as ii it would be a sin to laugh. I want to | know what is the difference and how it has been | brought about. Mr. Beecher said, you recollect the days when all the sources of art and pleasure, all games and amusements, were in the hands of a | Dé ; Dierarchy and the old Puritan stock broke off by reaction, and they set their faces against all these GRACES OF LIFE and went to the other extreme; this is an asceti- cism that might have worked in a certain age, but | Christianity never was ascetic. ‘The first en- | trance Christ made with his ministry was ata marriage. John came neither eating nor drink- ing; the Son of Man came eating and drinking; he always did as those around him dia in regar to their customs, and his early ministry was a ministry of joy. The genius of Christianity is sweet and enjoyable; the genius of asceticism 1s sackcloth. Mr. Beecher at Plymouth Church. Alter the usual Friday night talk and the pro- nouncing of the benediction, the Examining Com- | mittee met for the purpose of receiving the appli- | cations of candidates for membership. Dr. Ed- ward Beecher remained to conduct this meeting, | the pastor of the church returning to his home on the Heights, with a few friends, Mr. Beecher, in a conversation with a re- porter of the HERALD, on his way homeward said that his decision remained unchanged as to breaking the stience he had already ob- served as to this controversy, At the same time he was in the hands of his iriends, and serecialy, those who were in authority in the church. if bol thought it desirable for him to speak, and thelr decision commended itself to him, he would do all that was expected of him by his friends inside and outside of the church, His that he resent impression was. however, ould romain silent, He bad | | Newark in the character of Julia, in Sheridan | INVIGOKATOR: fu & funy occupied life, and to meddle with this scandalous talk was to pat himself 30 8 postiios by which large demands would be m: upon his time and patience that could result in no practical good. This closed the conversation and as far as any outward appearances were concerned, Mr. Beecher's manner is aptly described in the lan- guage of the hymn :— And not a wave of trouble rolled Across luis peaceful breast.
