It makes very little difference what name is given 1t—the end of Bis- marck’s power has come, The Pall Mall Gazette of last evening published a special despatch trom Berlin Blating that the Reichstag will consider a commmunicas tion trom the Emperor calling upon it to invest Horr Camphausen and Herr Von Bulow with power 10 represent Prince Bismarck during his absence. The Prince for the present retains all bis various dignities and offices, He proposes, however, to icave Berlin in ‘he course of a woek indefiuite leave granted in the first instance for several months, but renewablo at bis request if necessary. Notwithstanding the present arrangemont it is said to be doubtful if the Chancellor will not shortly retiro altogether from oMce, When submitting his requost for retirement he presented a medical certificate showing that his con- tinuance 1m office must be highly prejudicial to his bealth and may even imperil his life, On this ground = the Prince 1s reported to be averse to pledging himself to any length of time, The Berlin Poste statcs that the Emperor, in gracious terms, has re(used Prince Bismarck’s request to be pensioned off, but accorded him lengthened leave of absence, Camphauser, by right of seniority, will ropresent the Chancellor in ali imperial affairs.

DISAPPOINTMENT OF CENTENNIAL STOCKHOLD- ERS—THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT— DIVIDENDS DWINDLED SEVENTY PER CENT. Putwapetruta, April 10, 1877, The final decision of the United States Supreme Court that the Centennial Bourd of Finauce must return to the United States Treasury the million and a balf appropriated to tne Exbibdition has fallen like a Shock upon the worthy people of this city, who con- tributed so largely, in more ways than one, to the suc- bess of the great world’s fair, The fat of the appellate bourt was entiroly unexpected, no one seeming to have imagined that it was likely to reverso the decision of the tribunal below, It ts the one topic of conversation in town to-day, and its results will be very far reaching, So much of the Centennial stock was taken in this city from motives of civic pride by people who cannot afford to lose money at present, that this reduction of the divigends trom hinety per cent to about twenty, which is sure to tol- Jow this unexpocted judgment, will be seriously felt by numbers of Philadelphians, The general feeling on the subject scems to be well expressed by Mr. Robert N. Willson, who ar- gued the case as counsel for the new permanent ex- bivition enterprise, Liko all the lawyers in the case, Mr, Willson was vory much astonished at the decision, und when questioned avout it said tbat he could not imagine how the Supreme Court found reason to jaflict this great loss upon the people who had personally aided the Exhi- bition, ior which the whole uation had received the credit, Tbe Lnvernational Exhivitiona Company who outh the permanent show on the style of the Crystal Palace Exhibition at Syden- bam, will be very inuct embarrassed, temporarily, by toipstction, as some $300,v00 of their stock consisted of transferred shares of Centennial stock, upon which they expected to be paid about ninety per cent of their original cost, instead of which they will now receive Dut twenty. WAS IT PREJUDICE? One of the directors of the permanent exhibition en- Jerprise said 10 the course of an interview:—*'l think decision was caused by geograph- inst Puiladelphia Judge Strong, who represents Pennsylvania on the beuch, gave bis lecision strongly iu our favor, but all the others were against us, 1 have often seen the tendency in Wash- ington to disparage Philadelphia and her interests, Congress was dilatory in aiding us With the Post Otter, in accepting League Islund, in making our river Improvements and in supporting our efloris to make tue Centennial Exhibition a success,” THE EFPECTS. “What will be the effect upon the permanent ex- aibition?”” We expected to pay for the Main Building, which © bought ut $250,000, mainly in Centennial stock, gstimated at at Joust $8 a share, This decision, which is final, takes $1,500,000 from the Board of Finance, leaving the sum so stall that I fear not more than $3 bare will be realized, We will have to psy up so mucu more stock as will meet this deprectation, ray about $200,000. ’” “What amount of cash does the Board of F now hold?”” “They bave $2,350,000 in cash deposited in tour banks.

SOUTH CAROLINA THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE TROOPS FROM THE STATE HOUSE—A HISTORY OF THE OCCU- PANCY —ADDRESS OF CHAMBERLAIN—ACTION OF THE STATE OFFICIALS, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Couummia, April lu, 1877. ‘With the evacuation of tho State House by the fed- eral troops to-day Chamberlain kicked the Guberna- torial bucket, Ho died resignedly, after a very gallant ‘but unsuccessful contest. His great ambition was to havo republicanized the white people of South Caro- Ina, and his failure is perhaps duo more to the politi- cal power of his opponents than to any detects in the policy he adopted during his iast Gubernatorial term, His manifesto issued to-day In the form of a farewell address to the republicans of South Carolinais written with his usual ability, and i a severe but respectiul criticism of the Southern policy of President Hayes, Its great force commends it to tho admiration of bis political enemies, while its senti- ments are thoroughly indorsed by the republicans of the State. In rotiring to private life for at least a brief period Mr. Chamberlain stands intellectually head and shoulders over every republican leader in the South ana the peer of any in the North, WITHDRAWAL OF THE TROOPS, Unlike the time of their entry into the State House, the scone to-day at the withdrawal of the troops was entirely devoid ofany excitement, It was done with military punctuality, precision and dignity, and reflects great credit on Colonel Black, of the Eighteenth infantry, commanding the post here. DETAILS OF THR OCCUPANCY, On tho 29th ot November last, the day previous to the meeting of the Logislature, and almost at the deed hour of midnight, the State House was taken posses- sion of by a battalion of federal troops undor the com- mand of Major Kellogg, of the Kighteonth infavtry. How the illegal Mackey House of Representatives was organized, bow the democratic members who held the cortificates of the Supreme Court were excluded, how Mr. Chamberlain was indecently inaugurated Governor, anc all tho exciting scenes that occurred during the months of November, December ond January last, have all been told tn the Heraup, Up to about the middlo of January a strong force wus held in the State House, but when popular excitement bad subsided and the bulk of the troops were withdrawn from the State the garrison at the State House was reduced to one solitary company or detachment, numbering not more ‘than twenty men. For tho botter management and the convenience of tho troops two companies were specially detailed to do this State House duty. These were Company B, Second intantry, commanded by Lieuten- ant Abner Haines and F. 0, Briggs, numbering fifteen men and five non-commissioned officers, ana Company D, Etgbteenth iniantry, commanded by Lieutenants Leaby and Cabanniws, and numbering about the same rank and file. These companies relieved each other regularly every threo days, the written instructions to support the colored special constabulary if culied upon by them in the event of an attack on the State House, boing requiarly turned over by the retiring oflicer to his successor, WITHDRAWAL OF THE TROOPS. It so happened that Compauy D, of the Second in- fantry, Licutenant Abner Haines commanding, was on duty to-day, ond that oilicer and his men will now figure historically in the annals of Soath Carolina. In conformity with the express wishes et Governor Hampton, announced in his address upon his reception here on Friday, when he returned from Washington, no white persons went near the State House, Inside tho bailding, on the lower floor and immediately im the vicinity of Houdon’s bronze statute of Washington, the scene was interesting, A crowd of about two hundred of the negro special con- stablary and others who have been on duty were standing around attentive observers of all that trans. pired. ‘There were not over twenty whites present, and Ubese were republican State officials, ex-members of the dtate Board of Canvassors, ‘members of tho press and military officers. Mr. Chamberlain in his office in th west wing of ding finishing bis farewell address. 1t was in this wing, and directly iu front of the Executive Cuam- ber, that the detachments were posied, and at halt- past cieven A. M., everything baving been gotten in Teadivers, the soldiers fell in behind their stacked arms, with koapsacks, blankets and all their equip- ments op. Major Michael Magginis, of General Kuger’s staff, arrived bere this morning with the official order removing the troops, It was he who carried the order in November last to place them in the building. MARCHING OUT. at forty minutes pust eleven A. M. Colonel Adjutant Pottor arrived in tho State House and ly atterward Lieutenant Haines gave the order to his men to take arms and marehed them close to the open entrance on the south side of the building. Here they were halted preparatory to making their exit at noon. The interest was now in- tense, and the great black crowd thronged arouas the small’ detachment of soldiers. Colonel Black stood with wateh in hand near the north entrance listeoing for the first stroke of the city clock announcing mid- day. Lieutenant Briggs stood close to the Wasn- ington statue to signal the order to march ty Lieutenant Hatnes, who remained in front of the soldiers, 1 avxious crowd now waited with great expectaney, and as the clock and a dozen chrovometers marked the hour of meridian tho oruers were signailed, and Lieutenant Haines gave the orders, “Right shoulder arms, right face, torward march,” and io another instant the State House was reoly evacuated by the troops. Tue last tile bad ¢ crossed the threshold whon the negro constabi dignantly slammed the doors behind them and sec and locked them, This was not done from the appre- honsion that any whites would rush 1m, but as au in- sult to the United States government, which in this final act tn the dual governmental drama baa degerted thom. In ® few moments more the spectators withdrew, and the State House was left in the possession of the few special constables, who chose to remaim in the building. Seon afterward Governor Chamberlain issued the following aduress:— CUAMBERLAIN'S ADDRESS. Rereeticays or outa ©, ir choice 1 was made 6 this State in ber last 1 was fice.

If necessary he will supplant Chamberlain's vetal constabulary by his own, ® strong sorce of which has vcen organized forthe time. As there several vacant rooms besides the regular State offi now occupied by the ex-membors of the Board of State Capvassers and repuvlican State officials, Hampton Will doubtiess be foliowed by bis execative officers, who will tostall thomeelves in the most comfortable and convenient manner possible.

The firat effect of the new movement will bo to dis- couruge the republican State officers whose cases are now pending before the Supreme Court upon quo warranto Proceedings instituted by the democratic claimants, AS to the lirst decision when the cases are adjudicated there is not a particle of doubt ib decision will be in favor of the demucratic State officers, aud with this result staring th in the face itis more than probable the republicans may take time by the tore- Jock, and toliowing the cxample of Chamberlain, aban- don the oflices to which no salary 18 attached and from the occupation of which no martyrdom can be gained, Thus Hampton's way will be made comparatively smooth, and his administration will begin under the tuost favorable auspices, CONVENING THR LEGISLATURE, One ot his first vilicial acts wilt be to call the Logis- lature togother, which will probably convene in two weeks froin this date, The first important busin come before that body will be the elevation of a Justice to succeed Chief Justicn Moses, recently de- ceased, In tho event the cases of the ‘State officials should come belore this tribunal that clection sumes the gravest importance, The democrat nthe organization of both branches of n- eral Assembly, will have a bare — majorit on jomt bait They will hold a» caucus and place a democratic candidate in the field, with a ssibility of electing him. It 1s predicted now that the republicans wiil also nominate a liberal democrat as their candidate, with not only the possibility, but the probability, of electing him. In either horn of tho dilemma the Interests of the democratic officials will be safe and the triumphant suvcess of the Hampton government assured. To-night the utmost quiet prevails, the republicans sectning to acquiesce in the Inevitable, and the Joy of the whites is deep and heartfelt, SATISFACTION IN ADMINISTRATION cIncLEs— PATTERSON TALKING ABOUT A DEATH KNELL— TELEGKAVEIC DESPATCH FROM HAMPTON, MiNGTON, April 10, 1877. The Presidont and members ot the Cabinet severally express their gratification that there was no disturb- ance consoquent on the withdrawal of the troops from the Stato House, and that there 1s absolute peace. In fact, they thought this would be the result from tho assurances of Governor Hampton, otherwise tho order for such withdrawal would not have been issued; and, besides, Governor Chamberlain when bere said rothing to the executive authorities which would lead to the Velie! that he would commit any act to obstruct the wishes of the adininistration on bevalt of Governor Hainpton.

New Onixans, April 10, 1877 The Ii! success achieved so far by the commission, the impracticability of their propositions and tho ap- parent lack of both power and purpose displayed, are having a vory bad of upon the community, and Unless something is soom accomplished may result Gisastrously. Public passions are agaia becoming 1n- flamed upon both sides, inasmuch as the issue re ty is a desperate one. Packard openly asserts his inteb- on to defend bis government, even if the United States troops are withdrawn, and the Nicholls people are equally determined, at all hazards, to enforce either their own ora military government, Both sides think themselves being trifled with, and both concede that Mr, Hayes wishes to dodge all responsibility by a po- Utical trade to which neither are inclined to become parties except upon their own terms. WORK OV THE COMMISSION. The labor of the commission to-day has conse- quently been as barren of results as ever. In the morning it received a delegation of fifteen colored citi+ zens, which delivered set speeches up to two P, M. op general topics pertaining to their view of the situation, At three it was visited by the Mayor and City Council, who laid before tt carefully prepared statement of the city’s finances for the past filteen years, showing a great advantage in the way of economy in democratic over republican rule, Several other delegations then received, aft which it adjourned and rode out to the lake to din During the morning duplicate letters were addressed to both legislative committees already appointed to confer with them, inviting somo statistical informa. Won respecting tho qualification of judgos and oth parish officers, with a view of asceriaiming precisely what portion of the State government avers allegiance to Nichoils and what to Packard, These questions will be answered to-morrow. ACTION OF THR NICHOLLS LEGISLATURE, The Nichotls Legisiature passed a resolution to-day setting forth the present disturbed condition of affuirs 4s destructive of ull public and private interesys, and inviting the members of Packard's House to come and take their seats in tho legal Legisiature, This is pri baratory to an carnest eflort now inaugurated by the democrats with a view to settling the question them- selves by securing the acquisition of seven more Ke+ turning Bourd members, thus completing their quo- Tum. This accomphshed they will at once pass a jot resolution confirming all previous proceedings of the Legulature and otficialiy calling upon the President to remove the troops, DRMANDS OF THE COMMISSION, Tt is believed that the commission 18 awaro of this purpose on the part of the democrats aud only opposes it to tho extent of demanding that (wo republican Senators be elected, of at least ono. The democrats not willing to concede this, but are willing to elect ministration democrats or conservatives, If ary settlement is speeuily arrived at it will probably be Upon this basis and by this method. As yet the com- mission has avoided committing itself tn any manner OF upon aDy potvt, but its influence suown iD favor of such an dayustment would undoubtedly secure it To-morrow will probably witness the development of this movement, Mit.

Persons who have visited sume of the commis- Jonors to-night report that they will hold a private n to-morrow, at which a delinite proposition will detormined upon to be mude to boih Governors, ‘This proposition, while adhermg to the original plan, will modify the terma to tho extent of fusing the Legislatures upor the basis of supervisors’ returns in- stend of the Returning Board. ‘This plan would give a democratic majority of four on Joint ballot. It is added that General George A. Sheridan will leave to-morrow for Wash- ington as bearer of despatches to Mr, Hayes explaining tho necessity of this modification, ‘without which the com mission det of effecting sottioment, It is not likely that this proposition will interrupt the democratic movement, which is con- ailerea tobe a shorter and better solution of tho aitll- culty. REJOICING OVER SOUTH CAROLINA. At ten o’clock to-night a salute of 100 guns was fired at tho head of Canal street in honor of the news juat received that Hampton was in possession of the State Houso at Columbia, PACKARD’S FRIENDS, Pinebback stated in an interview to-night that seven ot his trioads in the Packard House were ali ready to Ko over to the Nichoil’s Legislature, and that they would do so to-morrow or next day, This, t a connection with the democratic plan as detailed above, would seem to indicate the success of that effort.

At twelve o’clock to-morrow, the probation timo al- lJotted by a resolution of the Nicholls Legislature for all absent members to take their seats with a full title to receive mileage and por diem expires, The impression among conservatives is that enough members may avail themselves of the priv- granted by this resolution to give tno Nicholls House a quoram of Returaing Board membors.

Intense excitement prevails in Orange township, Delaware county, over the mysterious disappearance of Martin Haven, a boy agod seven years, from his father’s house last Sunday morning, When last seen the child was in company with Edward Booker, a col- ored man employed on the Haven farms, Two days have now been spent in looking for the missing boy, but up to this time no trace has been discovered of him or the colored man in whose company he was last seon walking about the home farm. ,As soon as Booker’s wile, who was also a servanté6n tho furm, discovered that ber husband was missing she burriediy came to this city, where she was arrested to. but persisted In declaring that sue knew nothing of tho whereavouts of the boy or her husband. Tho missing child has a fair complexion, and when last seen had a faded blue sult, Booker and bis wite aro well know: to the police here, and both bave in the’ past been under arrest for drunkenness.

Evidence Accumulating That It Was Garbled by the Law Officers in the Interest of Brigham Young. SPECULATING OFFICIALS The Gilman Affidavit and Lee’s Hopes for a Reprieve. re’ The position promptly assumed by the iHxnatp on the question of the reliability of the version of Jobo DL coptession, given to the press by the United States District Attorney at Salt Lake City, proves to have been the right one. From all quarters comes evidence that the so called contession was garbled and intended to further a sharp piece of speculation on the part of the law officers of the United states in Utab, ‘Tho following letter from Salt Lake City, trom a ro vie correspondent, throws much tight on the conspi acy, and shows the relationship that 1s more than Suspected to exist besween the chiefs of the Mormon Church and the representatives of the government :— Sarr Lake City, U, T., March 30, 1877, To tux Epiron or tax HeRaLy:— You bave hit the nail on the bead, This second confession was constructed on speculation, but was written by Loe under the most solemn pledges to him by the District Attorney and United States Marshal that bis life should ve spared. There witnesses here who heard th pledge: by the above oficuls to Lee, it is al the imtention of the same parties to publish a vOOK — Upon ~—= the — subject, trom — which it ts hoped to eal ze a much larger amount than waa obtained from the sale of (his contession. The olficiais are most certainly speculating in this matter, not ouly by the sule of the confession and of the proposed book, but also in the gold of the Mormon Church. Itis a fact that can be credibly substantiated that James Jack, tho financial agent of Briguam Young, baa been closeted with both the United States Attorne: and Marshal for hours at a time, bot before and utter Lee's exccution, and ‘a care ful examination of the confession referred to jails to disciose any direct implication of Brigham Young ta the massacre, With Brigham whitewashed Lee foully disposed of it was thought that the investiga. tion of this and kindred Mormon atrocities would cense, But the attention of the press, that censor of Public opinion tor torty millions of people, has been called to the subject, and what was fondly boped by the Mormon leaders and their hirelings would be the end wiil prove but the beginning of disclosures, faral alike to Mormonism and corrupt United states officials, The name of the writer of the above is withheld from publication for obvious reasons. The Mormon official ring havo no scruples with regard to such cor- respondents. ANXIRTY OF THE OFVICLALS. Of course the suspected ofictals deny the truth of all statements charging them with collusion with the Church authorities and suppressing evidence against Brigham Young and hia chief priests, Yet a fecling of docp uncasiness pervades official circles, and feverish protests of innocence aro heard in Salt Lake City. From the United States District Attorney the follow- ing telegram ts addressed to the Hxratp:— SaLK Lakx, April 9, 1877. J. G. Basxett, New York Henap:— If one Gilman has made a statement regarding mo, 1 inform you it is false, Mormons have used and con- cealea him. HOWARD, U. S. District Attorney, In the desperato effort to conceal the facts the ac cused parties are believed to be capable of resorting to violence if necessary. It 1s, therefore, considered unsate for any one knowing tho details to utter a word regarding them in Utah Territory. GILMAN'S AFFIDAVIT—A STATEMENT FROM ONE OF LEE'S GUARDS CHARGING DISTRICT AT- TORNEY HOWARD WITH SUPPRESSING 1M- PORTANT PARTS OF LEE'S CONFESSION. Wasuixetox, April 10, 1877. Astrango sequel to tho tragedy of John D. Lee's execution at Mountain Meadows is contained io an official paper which was filed yesterday with the Do- partment of Justice in Washington, A PROMISE OF PARDON. This is no less than an affidavit by Ed Glimaa, of of Salt Lake City, that Lee was induced to maku a con- fession to the United States District Attorney on the Promise that in return for such confession he should receive @ reprieve and eventually a full pardon, This promise, Gilman alleges, was made to Leo by the Dis- trict Attorney in furtherance of a plan to implicate, exposo and punish all the Mormon leaders, from Brig- bam Young down, who were believed to be concorned in the Mountain Meadows massacre, GILMAN'S BMPLOYMENT, Gilman alleges that ho was specially engaged as a go-between by tho District Attorney to make the over- tures to Lee for the confession, and to promise oven- tual immunity to Leo in consideration of the disclo- sures he should make. In bis capacity of guard at the Penitentiary at Beaver, ho had iroe access to the coll of Lee, and was occupied quite a while in con- ducting the negotiations before a mutual understand. ing was had between Leo and the District Attorne: Lee was cautioned by the latter not to make known the substance of his confession to anybody, not even to his wife Rachel, who, it will be remembered, was the constant companion of his closing hours on carth, and attended him in his cell up to the moment of his romoval for execution, MK RRADS LER'S CONPESSION, But Gilman says that the confession was read by himself aad by Rachel during odd moments when L, happened to bo absent trom his cell taking exercise, during which intervals their curiosity got tho better of them and they read the folios of manuscript as they lay on Leo's writing desk. SUNSTANCE OF THE DOCEMENT, From these furtive and dotachea perusal of the con- * fession Gilman acquired a general knowledge of tts substance, which he says 1s at variance with the con- fession given to the public by the District Attorney, THE HERALD STORY. It will be remembered t the Heratp published in advance of the press a telegraphic report from Salt Lake City of Lee's confession, in which Lee directly and unequivocally charged Brigham Young with being responsible for the order under which the dreadful massacre at Mountain Meadows was perpetrated, JT 18 THX USGARBLED VERSION, Discrepancy between the two confessions on this point of Brigham Young's alloged gui't was com- mented upon widely at the time, and is now accounted for by by Gilman, who says that the charge against Brigham Young made by Lee tn his confession to the District, Attorney was expunged, and that the en- tiro paper was garbled in the imverest of the Mormon chief after it nad passed out of Leo’s pos- session and before it was given to the public. Tho original confession published by the Henao was made by Lee when he was under sentence of death and before any delusive promise of a reprieve and pardon could bave been held out to him according to the state- ment of Gilman. It is strange, therefore, that andor the inaucement of such proms Pardon, the second confession should be less severe upon Brigham Young, REQUESTED TO DISMISS HS LAWYERS, Gilman also says that in taking bis frat message to Lee from the District Attorney, he was instructed to tell the prisoner that if he would dismiss his lawyers and put himself wholly in communication with and under the protection of tho District Attorney, ho, Leo, would be sorving bis own inter nthe most salutary way. IN THR TOLLS, Hence it was that Lee gradually came under the in- fluence of tho District Attorney, who thenceforth pled him with the hope of pardon until be secured tho confession in its entirety, and then kept his victim under the belicf that reprieve would arrive at any mo- ment, until the fastlade of the Gring party ended nia lite and bis deception together, LER DECEIVED, It may seom improvable that a man of the cunning and discernment of Lee should not have detected the deception practiced upou him, when, during the last few hours of his life, he was taken a hundred miles away from the reach of the telegraph to be done to death in a solitude where reprieve could reach him only by a miracle, Bat those who have prompted Gilman to make a clean broast of bis con ection with what they donounce as an outrage upo the sacred name of justice point ta manner ol Lav’s | Bi death as evidence that be was sustained to the last moo ment by the expectation of a reprieve. HOPING TO THM Last MOMENT. Hits theatrical bearing, bis impertarbable cosines when, sitting oo the coflin, he gave suggestions to the Dewspaper artist as io how he should | be sketchea—ail, they = say, indicate « secret belief that he was acting @ farce, aod = that ushering into — eternity was as unexpected as if be had beon struck by light- ning. This 1s the web of the story as woven by Gik man tn bis affidavit, and elaborated by tne persons who have urged him to make it. GILMAN'S REASONS. Gilman says that he was first moved by remorse to tell what be haw revealed as above, As to the dis- crepancy tn the two confessions he says be can be corrovorated by Rachel, the widow of Lee, NOWARD'S MOTIVE, Astothe alleged motive of the suppression of the part implicating Brigham Young, 1 would bardiy be just Lo the District Attorney to repeat 1s until he has bad an opportunity to expiain why tho suppression was made, if it really were made. GILMAN'S CHARACTER. Gilman bas had the benefit of a testimonial from the District Attorney, who, in recommendiaog him a month ago for an appointment as mail carrier, testified that be was a reliable and competent man. WAITING TO HEAR THR OTHER SIDR, On the other hand !t is said io defence of the Dis trict Attorney that the charge against him ta the work of a number of politicians anxious to get him removed from his office in the interest of a favorite, and that the whole thing is @ conspiracy which will como to light in due ime. KETICENCE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Meantime the Attorney General refuses to allow the affidavit to be made public. He says that persons ac cused have rights as well as accusers, A PERTINENT QUESTION, (From the Salt Lake Tribune, March 31.)

Indeed, he ha ery martial law so far as be had the power to declare it, CRUCIFIXION, TH LECTURE BY RABEI E. B. M. BROWNE, Rabbi E. B. M. Browno delivered last night in Irving Halla lecture on the Crucifixion of Christ, wherein he undertook to prove that the Jews are innocent of the blood of Christ The lecturer said that Mr Moody and Senator Sargent, of California, had, by their ve. cent remarks, in which it was chargod that the Jews crucified Christ, called out the statements he would make in refutation of the accusation. The lecturer said ho would assume, for the sake of argument, that all contained tn the New Tostam: ie true and tuat Christ is God, and, baving assumed the form ofaman, be must be considered as any oth member of the human tamily. Jesus came down knowingly to bo put to death, and it was necessary for his plans that bis divine nature should remain a secret, The quostion then was, Did the Jews cructfy Jesus; are thoy responsible for his death; ao they approve his assassination; do they rejoice im having partict- pated in itt Tho lecturer went into an elaborate argument to show that the whole narrative of Christ’s apprehen- sion, trial, conviction and execution, as related tn St Mark's Gospel, are at square issue with the knowa facts governing tho Hebrew law in such cases, Th could be no doubt but Christ aspired to be the Mes- stab, or Saviour of his peopie. io portor many Jaco miracles, but nearly ali of them took the wild mountains of Galilee, where the peo; wore extremoly ignorant. Rabbis, too, hi been known to perform miracles. About that time a rabbi caught the devil, literally, aod held him in bondage fot @ good while; another got hold of the angel of deat! sword so that for a considerable period no one could die and God was put to a good deal of trouble in persuad- ing tho rabbi to give up thia tremendous woapon, Honce {t was nothing extraordinary that Jesus should work miracles in Galilee. The lecturer then defended ho had tried to have Judas was a good and taithtal aster. to a place of c servant of his great SEVENTH REGIMENT VETERANS.
