The committee, appointed 1oPtho purpose by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church, 10 session at Brooklyn, this afternoon waited upon the Exeeutive Committe of the Centennial Commission and presented the reso'utions of the Assembly upon the Sunday opening question, The resolutions em- phatically commend the action of the commission in closing the Exhibition. President Hawley, of the commission, wastn attendance as ez officio a member af the committee, Tue resolutions were presented by Rev. Dr. Prime, cbuirman of the committee. ‘The venerable Rev. Dr. Adams, of Madison avenue church, New York, followed in an argument in support of the resolutions, concluding with an cloquent appeal, in the course of which he reminded the Centennial manage- ment of the warning of Washington in his Farewell Ad- dress, that there could be no such thing as liberty and prosperity for us without morality, and no such thing as morality without religion, He regarded the observance of the American Sabbath as tho best feature of the Exhibition that could be shown to foreigners, He had beara of what had been termed Puritan Sabvath,’’ but had failed to associate the ui recognition of that day with any ideas of com restraint, and closod his remarks with a poetic descrip- tion of the Sabbath day of rest and an expression of se ray ot the courtesy extended the committee by the commission in being accorded a prompt inter- view. Judge Strong, of the United States Supreme Court, said that the statute books of each of the thirteen colonies forbade labor and amusements on the Sab. bath; that these laws remained or were re-enacted when those colonies entered tho Union as Sti and | that whenever a Territory is organized Jaws are 1m- mediately passed for the observance of the Sab- bath. Should the commission now open the jes on this. day they would violate the laws of Pennsylvania and bid doflance to the laws io all tho rest of the States of the Union, It bas been said that laboring men need tho restriction to be re- * moved. This tae speaker did not boheveso be true, , Some laboring men wish to enter the arounte yhis day and some do not; so equally do men who are not under the necessity to lavor; but ho bolieved that tho great mass of laboring men rospect and love the Sabbath, and that they tcel they are happier and better for so doing. ev, Dr, Beadle, of Phiiadelpbia, said that the dele- on thanked the President and the Commission most heartily for their decision, and that thoy might remain firm they should receive the prayers of ali Christians throughout tho land. President Hawley, in conclusion, said that the occa- sion had been of great interest, since so much of the Christianity and also of the material wealth of the country were represented, and he was sure the Com- mission were pleased with the romarks that had been made, The interview was in the highest degree dig- nifled and cuurteous. As the Commission has formally adjourned until Jaly 1, no action can, of courese, be had at this time. f° EXWIBITION NOTES. | _ The number of admissions on Tuesdays were | Cash..... | Complimentary | Exhibitors an:i attendants + 17,542 .

One of the most extraurdinary meetings ever held in this city took place thisevening. It was a public gath ering of those persons who desire to support the Centen- nial Commissioners in their decision in closing tho gates against the people on Sanday, Tle meeting had been widely advertised to take place in Musical Fund Hall, Every preparation had been made by its organizers | to secure a good attendance of the Evangelical Prot- estant Church goers ns @ counter irritant to the recent large and enthusiastic meetings of those in favor of harmless instructs ind amuse- menton Sunday. The result must have astonished the manager of the affair, for not only wax the halt filled, {| but what Mr. Moody calls “overflow” meetings wero formed out in the street, and tho First Presbyterian ; church, two blocks away, was also crowded to its ut- | most capacity. Altogether it 1+ probable that over | 4,000 people attended the demonstration. Zhis cer- tainly proves that tho Protestant Evangelical j church members of this staid and consérva- | tive Philadeiphia are im favor of closing the | Exhibitien doors on Sunday, but as Philadelphia is not ; the world, and as this exhibition is a worhi’s fair, the | frends of the masses who cannot-eome if the doors are not opened on Sunday do not d meeting was signed by a large nom! | respectable merchants and Rerey of ancient Presby- | terian stuck mostly, and the platiorm of the hall was | covered by well known Phila a churchmen, like | George H.
