Explosive Materials Deposited in the. Vi- cinity of New York, ‘PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT. ‘FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasmrxcroy, May 25, 1876. WEE TALIVY BILL TO BE RECOMMITTED FOR ACTION MEXT SESSION—RBECIPROCITY WITH CANADA AND MEXICO, ‘The tariff question came up te-day in the House, and ‘Mz. Morrison and several others spoke on it. Mr. Kolley and perhaps two or three other members are ; till to speak, and then the bill will be recommitted for { Retion af the mext session. It is seen by the triends of | bhe measure that it cannot puss the Senate now, and ‘What the country, intent upon a Presidential election, lakes little interest in the question. In the House, tven, the bill could not be passed without long discus- @ions and @ good deal of friction, and nobody believes it -@eeireble to. bring op so large a topic at ‘this late date, when hot weather is looked for anda good deal of unfinished business ts still on band. Meantime the House seems to be inclined to support General Ward’s resolution for the appointment of com- mI to.ascertain whether we cannot trade with Canada upon more ativantageons terms than tno present, and it is probable that Mr. Wurd will seek to entarge the powers of the commission :o as to include Mexico. lt issaia that reciprocity with Canada and Mexico would give us an advantageous commerce with ‘about 15,000,000 of people, who would be large cons Sumers of our manuiactures, and whose demand would be suflicient, if it wore once established, to set all our mills and other manulacturing industries | boing again on a profitable basis. THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY—AMAZEMENT OF | DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON AT THE MUDDLE | IN THE SIATB—MB. TILDEN’S DIFFICULTY MB, BAYARD'S OPPORTUNITY. Recent political developments in the democratic party * of New York cause a good deal of amazement here, where, Gntil quite recently, there was a growing belief in Mr, Tilden’s strength, founded gn asertions of Dis‘friends and on the fact that he seemed to bave a good deal of strength iu some parts of the South. ‘The attack by Mr. Kelley, supplemented by what has followed, seems to democrats here like the drawing of a eurtain, disclosing & condition of things unexpected } to maby, but foreseen by the best io, formed. It. was said by a Pennsylvania member two weeks ago that the New York dolegation | Contained, he believed, about twenty-five Tilden men, twenty of whom might give him a complimentary ‘Voto and twenty-five who would not support him under any conditions, This was thought an extrava- gant statement a the time, but when repeated to-day mebody who heard it thought of contradicting it, “The quppotiers of Mr. Tulden do not, however, give Bp all nope... They imagine there will bea turn of the fide and say that Now York will baye to furnish the money for election expenses, and that it will furnish more for a New York candidate than for any other. They say, too, that the Ohio movement will necd to be faced down bya strong man, and that Mr. Tilden isthe man to do it beiter than any otner. Thos they insist that in two ways Mr. Tilden is a ne- vexsity to the party, But the answer is made that Mr. : Bayard answers to all the conditions. claimed for Mr. Tilaen, and that he could unite the warring factions in New York. being unobjectionable to all of them. The friends of Mr, Bayard say that he has all’ the good qualities of Mr. Tilden, represents the same principles ‘and has maintained them as courageously and ably, and that bis nommnation would call oat genuine enthusiasm everywhere as denoting a new departure for the demo- cratic party and the cutting loose from many embarrase- ing relations of the past. ACTIVITY OF THE SOFT MONEY DEMOCEATS— ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION ACT—ATTITUDE OF THE HARD MONEY MEN. The soft money men have renewed their activity. In the caucus held to-night Mr. Neal, of Ohio, intro- duerd a resylution :— id That it is the sense of this caucus that the Com- miltev on sanking and Currency be instructed to bring in immediately a bili for the unconditional repeal of the resumption acc. There was an apprehension that this would pass, a ‘umber of hard monoy men, especially New Yorkers, “WASHINGTON. | Plete record may be thus obtained of the pi 1 Jey of the United States, and that proper steps may | question propounded by General Hunton to the witness | ; ledge of the matter under investigation. being absent; but a sabstitute was moved by Mr. Bandall:— Resolved, That the Committee on Rules be instructed to make a rule authorizing the Committce on Banking axd Currency to report at anz time, An@ this’ was passed, The Committee on Banking ana Currency has hada majority against the repeal, but this is lessened by the absence of Mr. Ran¢lall Gib- gon, who has gone to New Oricans as chairman of the investigation commitice, Still, ifthe republican mem ders of the committee stand firm they, with Mr. Cox, the chairman, and Mr, Wike, of Illinois, two bard money democrats, can prevent @ report tor repeal. The frends of sound currency on the democratic mde are not dismayed = Their leaders aro men who will not give up to inflation or soft money, There is no doubt that they would preter defeat of the party to Ddomg dragged at the heels of the soit money Icadors, ‘The democratic party must come into power with sound principles or else it is of no use, for it would go ‘out at the end of tour yeara for a long period.

ERE POWDER ON ELLIS ISLAND—MR. HARDEN- | BERGH’S BILL FOR ITS REMOVAL—DANGER | 70 NEW XORK AND THE JERSEY SHORE FROM | THE EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL NEAR AT HAND— REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF ORDNANCE. Since the introduction of the bill by Mr. Barden. | Dergh, of New Jorsey, tor the removal of the powder ‘Magazine at Ellis island, New York Harbor, a great deal of interest has been taken in it by the New York | Geiegation in its favor. It appears that an immense | amount of powder, exceeding 150 tons, is siored within | (000 tect of the Now Jersey Contrat Depot, and it 1s re- | gardod as very dangerous to navigation and life in the hoignborhood, besides being a great detriment to the property in tho vicinity on the Jersey shoret For ten years past the Ordnance Department of the Navy has recommended tts removal, Thg {re- quent explosions recently bas called especial tion to ihis great source of danger, which 1s only one half a mitié distant from New York. A large amount of nitro- 43 alzo stored on Mount Tom, the little rocky island near Bilis Island. H. A. Wise, Chief of the Burean of Ordnance, in his report tothe Secretary of the Navy ‘during the second session of the Thirty- | ‘erghth Congress, 1864 and 1865, on page uinety-nine, aseetts that a great necossity existed tor the removal ‘of the powder magazines im close proximity to the @tres of New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and says * simvertaace of this subject will be suf- a felt by roflecting om. the terrific | ; consequences of the explosion of 600 tons | | in the Executive departments, probibit of this subject last year I held the follow- lang :—The proximity of these great magazines to the sea cosst and the cities near which they are ively located, especially those of Portsmouth, Boston and New York, is a aubject worthy of the moat serious consideratien. Commodore Jefiries, of the Navy Department, says that if they will pass the bill increasing the magazine accommodations at Craney Island, near Norfolk, it will remove all that part which will be dangerous and leave csough for supply as now required. Messrs. Wood, Hewitt, Ely, Cox and Ward indorse the action taken by Mr. Hardembergh, and will support bim earnestly, Mr. Cox has already had inserted in the ‘Steamboat bill a provision meeting the requirements of the much desired removal of this vast amount of gua- powder from the vicinity of New York and Jersey City. THE SCHENCK CASE—EFPECT OF MR. HEWITT'S SPEECH—VIEWS OF MEMBERS OM THE RE- PORT OF TRE COMMITTEE. ‘The report on General Schenck’s case bas provoked a great deal of comment between members of Congress | outside the debate. Mr, Hewiti’s speech was a power- ful denunciation of the foohsh ex-Minister. He man- aged to say in it a good deal that he could not get into ® unanimous report, Several friends of General Sbhenck were at first desirous of speaking to the que: tion and of answering Mr. Hewitt's severe strictarcs, bus they came to the conclusion that they could not afford to stand up and make a good natured excuse for | the accused ex-Minister. Judge Kelley, of Pennsy!- vania, expressed great regret to-night at the report of the committee; but, though he had been in Congress eight years with Mr. Schenck, four of which he served | 12 committee with him, he did not think that he could well afferd to speak in bis defence. Rusk, of Wiscon- | sin, who is an ardent friend of Mr. Schenck, expresses himself quite forcibly in regard to the republican mem- bers of the committee, on account of their agreeing to make the report, and also about the fact that they so agreea to it as a compromise, in order to save the re- flections made originally aga‘nst the administration. ILLINOIS FROM A CONKLING STANDPOINT. The friends of Senator Conkling have received tele- grams to-day from well informed parties in Illinois, who deny that the outluok there is overwhelmingly favoravle 10 Mr. Blaine. The despatches say that | everything from a Conkling stanupoint is working well Every move is observed and a careful index kept by the best trained politicians, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES.

The SubJudiciary Committee investigating the charges ugainat ex-Speaker Blaine reported to the full committee to-day the fact that objection had been made by Judge Lawrence to the admissibility of the Sickles as to what he had heard from any parties in Arkansas on tne subject ot inquiry. Mr. McCrary, of Towa, offered a resolution that the sub-committee, in | continuing the investigation, should not receive hear- | gay testimony except to the extent of the name and | residence of any person alleged to have some know. ; After con- siderable discussion this resolution was deleated by | a@strict party vole. Mr. Hurd then offered a resolution to the effect that the resolution of the fult committee | authorizing a jub-committee to conduct the investiga- | tion did not authorize any investigation of the ques- tion whether a corrupt use of bonds was made to procure investigation, unless it related to the Little Rock and Arkansas bonds, which came into possession of tbe Union Pacific Company. This resolution was agreed to. On motion of Mr Lynde, the committee thereupon resolved that the objection made by Mr. Lawrence to Mr. Sickles’ auswering the question in dispute was well taken, and must be sustasned, This latter action was | understood to be based by the democratic majority on | the ground that the matter referred to in the question is not within the jurisdiction of the commitiee, it not having been made a subject of inquiry by the resolu- tion of the House, The republican minority of the committee voted for Mr. Lynde’s resolution, aowever, on the ground simply thas it provided for tho exclu- sion of nome hearsay testimony. THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATION, Tho Committee of Ways and Means today heard Representative Payne ou the resolution heretofore adopted by the House on his motion requesting the Committee of Ways and Means to make a thorough in- vestigation into the management and direction of the New York Custom House, and ag to the changes and reforms necessary to more effectually enforce the laws for the collection of the customs revenue, The com. | mittee took no dofinite action ou the subject. Theyare | somewbat embarrassed by tte latencss of the session, and undetermined as to whether they will propose to the House that the investigation shall take place during the recess of Congress. ACTION OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE OF APPRO- PRIATIONS ON THE LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The Sen Committes og Appropriations to-day strack out bf the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill, which is now under consideration | by them, the whole of the second, third, fourth, fiftn and sixth sections. These sections provide for the ten per cent reduction of all salaries’ of clerks political assessments, require the Seéretary of the Treasury to mal reduction of ten per cent in the salaries of all customs officers and employés, and prohibit the em- | ployment by government officers of any persons except thoxe for whom specific appropriations are made, All these provisions are stricken out on the ground that they arc new legislation and cannot be properly | enacted in an appropriation bill, SILVER COIN—FAVORABLE REPORT ON THE PRO- | POSED ISSUE OF TWENTY MILLION | The House Banking and Carrency Committee to-day — unanimously agreed to report and recommend the pas- sage of Mr. Randall's till to anthonze the parchase of silver baliion to the extent of $20,000,000 with any money in the Treasury, and the issue of tho resulting silver coin, provided that not more than $1,000,000 of | rooney shall be used at any one time for the purchase » of such bullion. H THE MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS DELEGATES TO | CINCINNATI. i A private despatch from an ex-Congressman to Rep- resentative Hale says that seventeen of the thirty Mis- souri delegates to Cincinnatt may be counted upon surely for Blaine, On the other hand, private de- spatches have been received by the friends of Senator Morton asserting that he can count on twenty uf the Missour: delcyates, and also that several of the Illinois delegates will certainly vote tor him on the first bailot, and that there are others who will support him as ‘their second choice | and therefor | the managers of the SPEECH OF ME. MORRISON ON THE MEASURE BRPORTED BY THE COMMITTEE ON WAS 4ND MEANS—MR. BURCHARD, OF ILLINOIS, IN OPPOSITION. . . Wasursatox, May 25, 1876. The House being in Commitieo of the Whole (Mr. Springer, of Iiinois, in the chasr) on the bill to revise and simplify oxisting laws imposing duties on imports and to reduce taxattou, Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, pro- ceeded to address the committee im explanation of the bill, ‘MR, MORRISON'S SPEECH. _ f He laid down the principle in the opening of his Speech that protection, other-than that incidental to Tevenue, 19 spoliation, because it takes the earnings of tho labor of ove person or class of persons and gives those earnings to ather more favored persons or Classes; that protection which would take equally and bestow equally would be no provection at all, and that Mw abolition would be of most easy accomphsbment, having no selfish imterests jor its mainienance. After reviewing bricfly the experience of other nations, he sald that an incresse of taxation even on luxuries only enriched the smuggler. “Crooked whiskey” showed that excessive taxation makes kuaves and thieves, Congress shoald try the removal of restrictions; snould. take of the shackles; should get revenue irom prop- erty that represented the results of labor, not trom the processes or means by which property ia acquired, and should recognize the oft repeated truth that where protection begins revenuo ends, Still, bail as the m of protection was believed to be, it had to be dealt with by no abrupt change or headiong speed, but by sure aud moderate steps, with the carp anu caution of enlightened statesmauship. ° ‘THR PRESENT TARIPY, he said, served the purpose neither of protection nor of revenue; it promotes fraud and offered a premium to unfaithtul officers, Under it revenue was a mere The intereste of the incidental or secondary matter. toiling and producing millions were ignored, outgrowth of the tariif wasa selsbness which, 10 its Fave jor subsidies and bountios, hud clouded some of the best intellects of the country and dwaried the spirit of lauiable enterprise. Reviewing the tariff! ‘tion of this country, he referred to the removal, '2, of the duty on tea aud cofiee, and declared that the object of the removal was to afford a better pretext ior retaining protective duties wures, and that many tair minued revenue three cents a pound on cuffee and of 15 cents on tea would yield each a revenue of $10,000,000, and would nly ammount to a \ax of 2134 cents on each to each per- son, A tax of43 cents to each aruicles wor yield a revenue of $20,000,000, and where (he asked) could so much revenue be ubtained from customs at so little co t? Net from duty on man- uluctures, whict were protected at @ rate exceeding 40 percent, In order to obtain $20,000,000 in dui from manutactures protection Was g'ven at the co consumer to a home product of five times greater value which yields no revenue. He argued that while the industry, trade and commerce of the country should not be disturbed wantonly or upon any trivial pretext, ihe moditication proposed in his’ bill could ouly affect them beneficially, and was a neceasity de- manded alike by the needs of the Treasury and of the consumer. He characterized as a fallacious and sbal- low dolusion the idea that protection was necessary to prevent the ‘! PAUPER WAGES” OF EUROPE trom coming into competition with the well paid labor of the United States. The Congress of the United | States might have great crestive power, but it could wot convert an imbecile infant into a stalwart, acit- sustaining and sel{-réspecting man either by protection or privation. The wages in England were teu times as high as in India or China, Ove times higher thao in Russia, and double asmuch as in Germany, France | and the rest of Europe; and yet in every one of these | countrys the dearer lat yr of England competed sac- cessfully with their cheaper labor, _ THE “HOME MARKET” ‘was another cleat and catchword of the protectionists, After protection unequalled for balt a generation, the “homo market’? bud not come, but wasas {j removed trom the flelis of agrieuliure, He claimed as | the cnief merits of the bill reponse. by_ him simplitica- Von of rates and reduction of rates, The proposed re- auctions, he said, were still bigh, aud were so intended lest any radical reduction might seriously affect any of the great industrial interests of the couutry. The. proposed rates would still afford largo meidental” protection. No one know better than the manufacturer that tho present complicated and oppressive high tar: could not last, A change must come; and come speedily, It had been the pur- pose to present in the pending measure such a change, | im a spirit of fairness to all. As to the objection tbat this was not a propitious timo orm, he an outrage and an enormity there was uo better time than the present fora reforto. The. ut law was wise, just and equitable, and therelore needed no ebange, or it was ‘wron| ive, and ¥ The pending bill was_by no means such a complete adjust- ment of the tariff as was demanded, but it was a atep in the right direction, a promise of better things to come, a meazs to a great end which would surely be reached, and to'wnich, if the country was not led by reason and Justice, it would be forced by necessity. SPERCH OF MR. BURCHARD, Mr. Burcuarp, (rep.) ot IlL, also a member of the Committee of Ways and Mears, made a speech in oppo- sition to the bill reported by Mr. Morrison. He ad- mitied that a measure attempting to adjust tariff duties more equitably, deserved the early consideration of tne House, and he regretted that the bill before the House ‘was so delective and incomplete, {t was imperfect in ite details and in the adjustment of tariff would, a8 a revenue measure, be disastrous to the edit. So faras it sought to relieve taxation, excessive duties aad simplify the mode ol ascer- them, it had his sympathy. Hie opinion was that an average duty of at least 30 per cent would be needed during this generation. Contrasting the nuin- ber engaged in agricu tural and non-protected indus- tries with those employed in iron, cotton and goolen productions, he claimed that the latter represented but three per cent of the laborers of the country, and their interests were not paramount to those of the other laborers. He quoted John Quincy Adams for the saying that “a tarifl duty was bounty to the manufacturers,” and he argued that this trath was indicated by the accumulated wealth and large bank deposits of the manulacturing States, He insisted, however, that the reductions proposed in. this bill must be compen- eated by revenue duties from other sources, or cise the bill ought not to pasa. There was already a large faliing off in the revenue from customs, and this jomed | to the proposed reductions would make tho loss of revenue at least $20,000,000, This would seriously im- ; pair the credit of the government and threaten the sinking fund, For these and other reasons he opposed | the bill. Without farther progress on the Tariff bill the com mitte rose, THE HEBREW CONVENTION. The Convention of lay delegates from various Hebrew congregations beld a second session last evening, Mr. Lew!s May in the chair, forthe purpose of receiving the reports of the the committees on resolutions and con- stitution and bylaws appointed at tho previous meet- ing. ’ The Chairman remarked that the impression had gone abroad that the sessions were strictly private, and henco it was that so few of their coreligtonists were present. The Secretary read a communication from the Annual Convention of Board of Delegates of Ameri- can Israelites held in Philadelphia, asking for co-opera- tion in their work. On motion of Moritz Ellinger it was decided that the communica | tion be referred to the oxccutive body, which would be organized upon the dissolution of the Convention. Mr. Ellinger stated that the two commit- tees had thought it much better to unite together, as, if | they held their deliberations separately, it was possible that their conclusions might clash, or they might go ‘over the same ground, which would ve a useless waste of ume, Hoe then presented a jort report insisting on the necessity and practicability at the present time of establishing a xeminary for tho teaching of Jewish theology. In the present state of education there was no pressing demand for the more advaneod depart- ments of Hebrew jore, Still the instivution should at | its first foundation afford the Roy Cd for the intro- duction of those higher branches When occasion would offer. The comm ttees were in doubt whether to recom- meud the establishment of chairs of Hebrew sctence in existing universities or to found a separate institution, eeest that that question be referred to stitution when organized, Mr. Ellinger then offered a preamble setting forth tho ‘eat importance of the question under consideration of a school where the sacred |i tradinon and iiterature, and the entire range of scie tile acquirements might be included in the curricu- I 4 then offered the tollowing resolutions: Resolved, That we deem it the sacrud duty of every con- eregation, us well as of every sincore Lar o coutribure Ke Serer rt and maint ion. an 0 St be vcasabsbePa Soca nent. ‘That in re to be known asthe “EH tion,” be forthwith estabi in the foregoing preambl to be composed of such en with and resulutio: wish congresatic congregational free schools, as may be determined by the That the highest department of the seminary sist of the endowment of n chair or chairs In con- nection with an institution where the gen ral sciences are taught, of, if feust te in the future, in wn independent I'schoot with the necessary chairs of instruction struction sl the higher branches: sneh departm be im the strict sonse of the term @ theglogical seminary, Those resolutions were taken up seriatim and adopted.

In all his journalistic career “no has persistently kept himself in tho bi ck- ground, While with at least two prominent metropoli- tan journals with which he has been connected ho has been the motive power, he has been content to be Debind the scenes, yet the power behind the throne, He has never intruded himself a8 a poet, yet bis farewell to “Gan Eden” (his ‘Pen Pictures from Cuba’’), the whole book itself a perfect prose- Poem, is one of the choicest bits of verse that. evor dropped from an American peu. Moroover, in his | younger days he wrote several superb hymas, which | now hold a fixed place in the Unitarian collection, His | career has been remarkable. Born in Charleston, 8. C., 1m 1827, he was graduated at Harvard College in 1847 and in the Cambridge Divinity School in 1849. He actually preached for a while at Salem; but this school was no field for him. In 1840 he went to Berlin and attended the lectures of Ritter, Von Raumer and Ranke, and on his return to Cambridge studied caro” fully m the law school fortwo years, Then nis real life seemed to open to him, He came to New York, as- samed a prominent position on the staif of Putnam's | Magazine, and at the same time was dramatic critic of the Albion. From 1857 to 1860 he was prominent on the staff of the New York 7imes, always acting us | editor-in-chief 10 ¢! \bsence of Mr. Raymond. In this connection we must record what may be called Hurl- bert'’s “erraticiams,’’ Inthe preliminary canvasees of 1869, while a Presidential nomination was yet pending, Raymond was *‘out Weet’’ and Hurlbert, in full control of the paper, boldly committed that ‘jonrnal to the support of Stephen A. Douglas. Raymond hastened home and wrote an apologetic ster. or store himself and his paper to full faith in the repub- lean ranks. With the one exeeptidn of the late Lord Lytton (Bulwer), there are tew wriiers who possess the versatility of William Henry Hurlbert, He has even written almost the only “American” play that holds the stage—that is, his *‘Americans in Part," a great favorite at Wallack’s, In his younger days he wrote that celebrated and since much quoted article in the Edinburgh Review on “Anti-Slavery,” for in those days Hur'bvert wis sumewhat of a radical, though he never took kindly to the transcendontalists and woulda not be « Brook Farmer for any consideration With his in- timate acquaintance with loreign statesmen, bis cx- tended travels all over the world; his knowledge, thor- ough, of all the modern languages and his varied accom- plshments and execative ability, he ought to make the World the brightest and best of the New York morning papers. ‘Wilmington (Del) Herald:—“The New York Worid has passed from undsr the control of Manton Marble | into the bands of Mr. W. H. Hurlbert, Mr. Manton Marble has been closely identified with the World sinco | {ts inception, and while be made a live, sprightly edi- | torial writer and exhibited a knowledge of politics that | gave the paper pre-eminence as authority unpen many of the leading questions, he lacked im judgment and was rather narrow in many of his views, being bound by judgments that were neither safe nor politic. In this way tho Worlt has failed of a @ gupport that it would otherwise have had, and | instead of occupying @ leading position with | other daily New York journals bas remained far in | arrears in circulation, But under itz new editorial direction, Mr. Harlbert, who is considered one of the | ablest editorial writers in this and separated from many of the narrow ¥ ‘before, we aro confident that it will take the leading rank in New York Journulism,”” New Brunswick (N.J.) Times:—“Mr, Hurlbert has long been a leading writer on the World, and is called the | moat brillant writer on the American presa. His cor. | respondence (for he has travelled much and written of hia travels for the World voluminously) has been signed W. H. H., and bas always attraetea much favor- able attention. He ts also a thorough and accomplished Journalist, and has been the mainstay, it is said, of severul journals in his lifetime, His journalistic education was had, we believe, on the Times, under Mr. Henry J. Raymond, woo was famous for discover- ing and developing journalistic talent in young men; and no man im the world could be a better exemplar o We believe he joined the World torces soon alter the paper became'a secular newspaper. He will preserve all the good fea- tures of the paper, and will even give it some hb and brilhancy.’” Cleveland Leader :—“He is @ Sybarite of the most advanced type, a vigorous writer, an accomplished |it- erary scbolar, the bost judge of a wire or a salad in tho editorial profession, und, in his best moods, s prince of good fellows, Ho has travelled widely and with his eyes | open; bis rooms in the old New York University build- | ing are a dream of Oriental luxury aad interest, being furnished and decorated with the gatherings of Mr. | Hurlbert’s extensive travels, In his purchase of the ‘orld Mr. Huribert represents # chque of anti Tam- many democrats, among whom Governor Tilden, Mayor | Wiekbam and Corporation Counsel Whitney are promi. neut. The idea seems to be to try tw get up a news- paper in New York with muscle enough to throw the | | | groat country; but they havo not told us ono-ten! at Harvard, and is now arive scholar, a man of the jon apd a thorough and accomplished Journalist. Hoe writes with charming grace upon a va- Tiety of topies, and it certainly will not be bis fault if the World does not more than hold its present place ip the Pap of American journalism.” Dayton (0.) Democrat:—‘Mr, Marble’s saccessor, Mr, William Henry Hurlbert, has long been connected with the paper, and 18 said by the Cincinnati Commercial to be ‘one of the most brilliant writers connected with the press.’”” Cincinnati Enquirer:—‘The New York World, under its new management, discusses pulitics with somede concy.”” Buftalo Ezpress:—“Tho Marble mantle falls on Hurl- bert.” PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBEF, PROMISCUOUS DANCING —- FRATERNIZATION— SUNDAY SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS AND RECEP TION OF FORRIGN DELEGATES, The Committee on Bilis and Overtures yesterday Morning brought in reports recommending the appro- | priation of $500 to tne mission at Los Vogas, Now Mexico, and asking this Assembly to reaflirm the deliv- erances of previous assemblies on the subject of pro- miscuous dancing. The report condemns this practice | 88 great evil and suggests that local church sessions Should resist this evii by every avaliable means by guiding the minds and bearts of young persons con- nected with the churchea, ; 4t has been discovered that white necktied pick- pockets have been around the Assembly, and severd delegates have ulready been relieved of surplus cash, The Moderator, therefore, cautipned the commissions to look out for thoze counterfeit clerics, After tho discussion on fraternity with the South @ couple of days ago Dr. Talmage sent a private tele grum to Dr. Moses S. Hone, of the Southern Assembly, | mow In session in Philadelphia, and received am an © swer that any advances or overtures from this Assem- bly to that looking toward fraternal relations would be courteously recognized. Dr. Talmage made an earnest effort to get this Assembly to send an official telegram tothe Southera Assembly asking that body to send fraternal delegates to this, and promising to recipro- care, “Dr, Musgrave thought such 3 movement was in- opportune; that the Southern brethren themselves cons:dered last year that nothing could be done in this direction for another decade. The Moderator and othera, too, deemed this movement inspired more by zeal than discretion, The mutter was, by resolution, referred to the Committee on Correspondence, TUN SABBATH COMMITTEE of thirteen reported the success of their mission to the Contennial Commission in Philadelphia, and tho as- surance of that oody that the grounds and exhibition buildings will continue to be ciosed on tho Sabbath. pow Strong addressed the Assembly briedy on this subject. A report of the Sustentation Committee that the union of the Home Mission and Sustentation boards 16 not néecessury was adopted, and two ris, & ma- jority. and minority, which were briefy discussed ‘until the hour of recess, Tie minority, looking toward retrenchment, suggested the abolition of the officect Sabbath School Superintendent, now filled by Mr. J, Bennett Tyler, This gentleman was invited to address the Assembly in the afternoon on this question, aud did so, And when the vote was taken on the motion it was not adopted, The majority report approved of the Sunday school work under its present efficient. Su) tendent. Now the discussion showed that the tary of the Pubiication Society and Mr. Tyler hi different conceptions of the latter’s work. Mr, I writes much and edits all of the Sunday school publica- tions. The Secretary and many delegates think that Mr. Tylor should spend more time travelling over the country and organizing presvyteries into Sunday school institutes, It appeared also that Mr. Tyler haa endeavored to bring the publications of the Presby! Board down to the cost level of like puvlications of ottier church boards, His earnest efforts in this direc- tion are owing to the fact that ministers and Sum- day schools go to the Methodist and other publication otlices and get their papers cheaper than they can get them from the Presbyterian Board. There w: how- ever, one Western brother who deciared that be to y as much for tho Methodist Sunduy school papers as forthe Presbyterian, though the latter contained fiv times as much m: The report asks also for detailed Onancial statements. After prolonged discussion at re- twa | Doth the day sessions the majority report was adopted. In the early part of THR AFTERNOON SESSION the business above combined was interrupted by a re- rt from the Committee on Synodical Systematic jeneficeuce. It suggests that tho Homo Mission Board will need for the current year $450,000, and the Foreiga , Mission Board $500,000, Less than $25,000 were given to tho freedmen’s cuuse last year, $4,000 of whichcame from abroad. Churches are asked to be more liberal ia their contributions to this and the other boards of th Church, and that no discrimination should be made in contributions y boards of the Church. ‘The consideration of the validity of Roman.Catholic Daptiam was made the first order for Saturday. A ro- port from the judicial committee trying the ot ‘the Lost Creek church against the Presbytery of Har- risburg ard its Synod recommended the dismissal of the complaint, Presbytery having the right to set off oe Mbroipt anv ofacharch as a new church upon the request of a majority of its members and after proper notice, which in-this case was done, and which action of the Preabytory was indorsed by the Synod.

A few years ago, he said, when your delegates came to us, pie when we lost some of our abiest preachers soon after, we regarde. you with suspicion, and said “by tho life of Puaraoh ye are spies.” Bus pow, Mr. ‘gin was glad to say, that all that is pest. Your deputies, he said, have told us many things of oes) ol what we have seen during our brief stay here, My life, said he, here bas been one of wonder, The Rev.
