Gruti Coltex ud victory.N».vcr aicce the BepuWcan parly wa« or-

ganized has tbc response of the country toa Presidential ticket been so cheering, eocitbuhiaslic, so unanimous, u that whichg reels the nominations and the platform ofthe Chicago Convention, Never.have weleenttc Republican press so deeply gcatl-fi-:d, or to thoroughly in earnest. From allshades of opinion—from the reddest Radi-cal to the most colorless Conservative—theaction of tbc convention hts been hailed»ith absolute delight. No Presidentialcampaign, within our remembrance, has everBiarUd off with more of the elementsof overwhelming victory. The meeting*that tare already been held havehetraved a depth ot earnestnessand an assurance of success which are with-out parallel In our political history. Therela no comparison to be instituted betweenthe opening of the present campaign andthat of the last Presidential contest. Fouryears ago the Republicans were cot wakedup until the last of August, when the Cop-perhead National Convention met and de-clared the war to have been a failure. Thisyear, if wcarc wise, wc shall have our or-ganization perfected and put in thoroughworking order before our enemies shall havegot out of their muddle and selected theircardldates. Let the young men take holdr.cv, ard organize Grant and Colfax clubs Inevery school district In the UnitedStates be-fore the fourth of July. We have only tobeat this hide-bound, reactionary, repudia-ting, rebel-sympathizing party once more,to teatthe life oat oflt.

Tbe Tbird Party Nonsense.The talk about the formation ofa third

party la dying out, as well It may, for therenever was a moment leas propitious for thebirth ofa new political organization. Eventhe petty faction who. In ISW, ran up theflag with John C. Fremont’s name upon it,only to haul It down again, had brighterprojects than any third party can have to-day. Before the meeting of the NationalConvention apprehensions that It might beeo injudicious as to kick out all persons whob. licte Hat Impeachment is a judicial andnot a political proceeding, rendered therumored project less chimerical. Bat nowthat the convention has adjourned withoutuedertakieg to retd anybody out of thepatty, dow thata platform lorIhe campaignhas been laid t own upon which every trueRepublican will find rocm tostand, and thatcandidates have been nominated whomever/true Republican can heartily support, fromwhat quarter is a third party to obtain eitherItsdeis or recruits? Chief JusticeChase hasbeen spoken ota* tho bead ol the movement,and so he might pos;ibly have intended tobe, two weeks ago, bnt nowthere U no room,no timber, co any thing to make athird party.

What, then, can another party bnlid Itshopes upon? What middle term nan bofound between the principles laid down bythe Republicans Inconvention assembled andthose proclaimed by the Copperhead oracles *

The Republicans support Ihe Congressionalplan for the regeucrstUnof tho South; theDtmccrats oppose It. Tbs Republicans In-sist upon glvirg the ballot to everyloyal man In the South for his ownprotection: tbc Democrats desireto deprive all men, ofa certain complexion,of the right ol suffrage, by which alone theycon defend their right to life, liberty and thepurcnlt ot happiness. Tho Republicans de-roonce the crimes and corruptions of John-son’s Administration-the Democracy up-hold or deny them. The Republicans de-clare against repudiation la every abape andunder every disguise—the Democracy eitheropenly or sceakiogly favor It. Upon allthese great questions but two opinions arcpossible. Ue who is not for us la against ns*And these are the Uving question! of theboor. Until ihty have been finally settled,until the nation shall hare been establlihelupon tbe foundations of freedom sod orderacd probity, it is idle to discuss minor ques-tions, or to attempt the eolation ot lesspnrelcg problems, and it Is Impossible tobring a thhd party into the field.

The Bemalodrrof tho Session.The present session oi Congress wlli now

necessarily be brief. There ougnt to be &

speedy despatch of legitimate business noda return of the member* to their heme*.The session ought to dote before the meet*ingofthe Democratic nominating Convention.Congress should provide before Us adjourn-ment for the completion of Reconstructionby the admission of the several States whohave adopted, and who may adopt the newcouitUutioca; fur the inauguration of thenew Stale governments, and tor thenirtld-patlon of those States In the Presidentialelection.If(.’oogrers proposes toremodel tbe Inter- I

oaHttvenne law soaa to relieve the prodne- 1Injr interests by sstill farther redaction oftaxation, tbe members ongbt to tddrers theirattention to that subject now. The Repab* ]Hcan majority In both booses of Congress ;may read their doty in the platform of the {Chicago Convention. Congress, in tbe ap- {propriatiocs for the next fiscal year, haare- ,dneed the expenses to the actual needs ofthe ]government. It has also reduced the rates of Itaxation so that no more rcrcuue will be :raised than win be necessary to meet tbe - re-duced expenditure*. Tbe country baa cor-dblly approved of these measures of re-trenchment and reform, of wise econopy,ard carcfnl repard to the bardens borneby the people. Congress cannot depart fromthis policy without violating tbe faith -with 'the people whose confidence It has trained by ‘Its retrenchment policy. It cannot ;keep faith with tbe people by reducing the iexpense* ol the government $150,-000,0C0, and reducing taxation toa aimliar amount, and then* votetwice that snm in tbe way ofsubsidies, bounties and plunder to apecula-tois and jobbers. There are bills la Washing-ton, which, In.the aggregate, appropriatehundreds of-mUUona of dollars—whichadd to tbe public debt—for no otherrealpurpose than to enrich corporations alreadyinsolent in their wealth, and to feed alobby that haa prejed upon the pub-lic treasury with Insatiable appetite.It will not do for Congress to econo-mize with "One arid With theother open the treasury vaults. It win* notdo tocave one wiiinnn doliataby disTitine-

. ing a corps of tnptrnnmerary clerks, messen-■ gelsand laborers, and vote five millions as abounty to some man who wants to btuld a'ship at tbe pnblle- expense. It -will not .do-for Congress to boast of a saving of twentymillions by a reduction of the army, when ItTotes away that sum In one bill to enableJohn Jones to bnlld a railroad Id’ competewith John Smith in plundering .the publicby chsrgcs so extortionate that shipper* willhave to give them their crops and moneybeside fur transporting the produce to theLtsmi market town ; and a man will haveto executea mortgage on hts farm to raisemeats enough to porchsse a ticket to ridefrom one viliigc on the road toanother.

Ihe talk ol voting away public mmay bythe million and by scores of millions tor prl.vale uses, aid, nod benefit U an outragewhich cuno*.be Justified,and which no partycan safely persevere in.

The money raised by the United States byUxstlon should be limited to(he exact *»«"»

• ceeded-for-aa-economlcal^-support,ot.'thsgovcnineut. Tbeae -expenses aro': asoer-Jilnedi-the exact ambualjoeedodjbr. that,purpose is that sum only which Uir dirtcUto be’expended lor ruth purpose. Ary

reveoe collected beyond thatamount, shouldbe applied to the reductionpf the nationaldebt. '

Congress Is no more justified luapp/opri-allDgany portion of the public money as aboottyto speculators, as a gratuity to conUsclofc, or to hnbeldlxa >illfoai'c3bipiofcai-shlp-bulldlng and steam navigation projects,telegraph organization,barbor "comtrue ling•peculations,' than It- baa' to'*pGloagratuity of oao millionof •doTtawto cich ofIt* own member*. The public money is tobe applied to public purposes only, and thereCiv bo no departure from this rule withoutaviolation of faith with the people, Thepeople hare not asked fer a redaction of thearmy, the nary, and tbe civil establishment,that the money uselessly spent upon themmay he lavished in the shape of subsidies totribes of min and companies organized Ibrpublic plunder.

We warn Congress against the danger ofthese pending schemes. They are alt repu-diated by the platlbrm of tbe Republicanparty. That demands rigid economy, andtaxation for public purposes only. A Hopublican majority in Congress cannot appealto the people upon that platform, If theyviolate > its letter and spirit by taxingthe people from ten to one hundred and fiftymillions to be given away in gratuitiesacd bounties to private corporations and la*divlduals.

This Is ao time for any expert-meets With popular forbearance. Thecountry has foil faith In the hon-esty and Integrity o! the legislationof Congress.. It believes that the redactionof the public expenditure to tbe old pencestandard was an honest effort to relieve thecountry'ard economize the public money.It believes that the abolition of pnbllctares of • over one hundred millions wasbecause ,of a real purpose to reduce thepresent weight of the pnbllc debt. That con-fidence and belief -are the - guarantees"ot the election of Grant acd Colfax. Shallthat public confidence be destroyed becausethis company and that organization and thisacd tbaflobby, want to have ono more pullat the treasury—one more grand division o!a hundred millions cf dollars of publicmoEty? Shall we oblige the Democracy byopening tbe Treasury for tho mob ?

JSyTProf. Stowe hasa very readable arilcleon*‘The Talmud” la the June At fonfic,telling what it is, and giving some specimensof its teaching. The peculiarity about Ituhlch Is,most striking to modern Christiansis that In its original state it waskept unwrit-ten, with scrupulous reverence, lest by beingwritten down some mints should becomefixed before they had fully grown to perfecttruth. The Jews held that Moses first de-livered, along with the written la v, a bodyof unwritten teaching, which great scholarsand prophets transmitted orally from gener-ation to generation. The great doctors werein their belief Inspired, in a measure, tooidenlord, and slowly to perfect thisbody of unwritten troth. By keeping it un-written they would keep open room foralteration. Toomuch cannot be said of thezeal, abilities and really immense learningof soma of these doctors of the oral law.They were men oftentimes ot remarkablegreatntu of character. In times of perse-cution their example was worthy of anyfaith. It was not until the third centuryoflor Christ that the Talmud was writtendown. It was codified, so to speak, beforeit was written. Tbc Immense labor in-volved In arranging, all m one’s head, thisvast mast of proverbs, fables, expositions,&c., can hardly be conceived bythe modern scholar. The m*nwho finally did It was adoctor who bad been a poor shepherd, andwho fell In love with the daughter of therichest Jew in Jerusalem, nia only chanceof pleasing her proud father was la becomingthe greatest scholar of his nation, lie be-came this, and won the prize of his ambi-tion. As a doctor of the oral law he master-ed it so thoroughly as to he able to arrangeIt in older In his own mind, and In thisorder it was finally written down.

The 7H&uns is of opinion “that, since tbeday* of Washington and Adams, wc have badnone more worthy of the overwhelming unani-mous support of Ibe American people, withoutdistinction of partr. The platform la (air, tem-perate and firm.

Tbe Time* thinks the selection of these menasc ndidates. and the entire absence of anythinglike , intolerance and bitter altruism in the plat-form, has brought back to tne Republican partyus old unity ot sentiment, and will Inspire It toarenewal otf it* old entbostasm. “The cloudswhich a week ago seemed to threaten Us futurehave already disappeared.

The World, inreviewing theChicago platform,<says; “‘the scandalous corruption which ishere acknowledged to exist, and to call loudlyfor rclorm, cannotbe laid to the door of AndrewJohnson. - Nineteen-twentieths of tbc presentoffice-holders were appointed by Mr. Johnson’spredecessor, and nearly all of those appointedby himself were Republicans, The Republican,party tied Jibe President’s hands and preventednia makliy either appointments, or removals.He lately; attempted toremove one bad officerand they rlmpeachcd him. It is tbc height oftmpndence toprelend that Mr. Johnson Is respon-sible for the maladministration of officers whomhcdldnotapooint. and cannot remove. More-over, the Presidential contest is not between theRepublicanpartv and Andrew Johnson, bnt be-tween it and the"Democratic party. The Chicagoplatform confesses that there Is necessity for allsortsof reforms. The country will hold thatpartyresponsible which has been for nearly eightyears in power,and permitted these crying abasestogrow up.”

The name of Schuyler Colfax as second on the.Republican ticket will be bailed with generalratafaction. Either of the tried and excellentstatesmen whoireccltedthe suffrages of thecon-ventionIn this connection would have beenac-cvptable to the people of New England certainly,however etrong their' preferences might havebeen for their declared favorites, .fiat itdoes notderogate irom the lost estimate in which theyarc held to say that had It not been for the aingleconsideration of locality, Ur. Colfax wouldhave been easily nominated on thofirst ballot—curb Is hla widespread sod hearty popularityand the conviction bo has Inspired of hla entireflese?? for the place to which he has now beenasrlpLfd. This noble position he has won byyears ofthe most faithful and effective service in• ougrets,botbontbe floor and In the Speaker’schair; bv his whole-souled and consistent devo-tion to the cause of the Union and equal rights;by hta native kindliness and urbanity, hla uodevl-atingrectitude as a public man, and hla statelessnnrity in ail therelations ofllfr. Eels one ofthefew. the very few men, who coald add Any strengthto tbe ticket headed by the name of Grant, forths feeling Isgeneral that the ono would proveIn any emergency—which Goa forbid—a worthyInheritor ofthe high trust committed tothe other.The-platform adopted by tho convention isevery way worthy of the nominations and fairlyexpressive of the Republican sentiment of thoUnion.

From thePhiladelphia Inquirer,Teeterdsy the National Republican Conventionit Chicago nominated Ulysses S. Grant for theoffice ol President ol the United'States, rhe

choice of tnla distinguished patriot and soldier,makes the nomination notpartisan,but national.Exactly with the same unanimity with which,alterhChad secured the liberties of bis countryIn.the -Hold. George Washington waa called tothe delicate doty of giving to the newgorern-meat lore*and vigor, will Ulysses 3. Grant becalledby a grateful country to administer thehighest function* of the nation, which he, aboveallothecmen,has successfully preecrioed. Illsa peculiar circumstance connected with the noml*nation of General Grant, that It la the work ofthe people, and notof the politician!. It Utraathat It may be said that the ChicagoConvention!• apolitical assemblage, bat the delegates whobate tmanitnoasly ratified the nomination ofGeneral Grant, hare done eo, not as politicians,bni as patriots, irlcft to themselves, they mightlor old association's sake hare preferred someother standard bearer.

General Grant deserves this office because hebas not sought it by any effort orlolrime. Hehas avoided political association. He has kepthisopinionsupon public matters to himself. Thereticence which be bos maintained, waa to him inthe discharge of his duty, a sacred obligation.Uemlcht have vanquished all competitors longago. If he bad been ambitious, by a single word,butbo bos despised all sucb efforts, and cared notto Win the honor before him by any self-degrada-tlon. He baa been in this consistent, as he hasbeenIn all things since he took position In tbcarmy rftcrtho war broke out As subaltern, asGeneral, as commander ot division, corps orarmies, be has kept hlmrelf to the simple lino ofhis doty, and knows no other Interest than toperform what was allotted to him faithfully and- SchuylerCoUkx, of Indiana, Is nominated forVice I resident upon the ticket with GeneralGrant. This Is a moat Judicious choice, and cal-culated to give general satisfaction. Grant andColfax make a strong ticket, and It wfQ be popu-lar throughout the country. Mr. CoKhx has beenso longIn public lift, and has discharged his da-lles so faithfully and with such signal ability,thathe Is probablyas well known as any memberofthe House of Representative*. lie has been amember of that chamber since ISM, and hasbeen successively re-elected by bis constitu-ents to six Congresses, and has sees nearlyfourteen years of service. Ue served for fouryean as Chairman of the Committee on PostOffices and Post Roads, and was elected Speakerof the Thirtv-elghlh, Thirty-ninth and FortiethCongresses. In the chair he has been distinguishedby greatexecutive ability, promptness In the dis-chargeof his duties, and impartiality In his de-cisions. No occupantof the Speaker’s chair hasever given more satisfaction to the members ofthe Bouse, without distinction ofparty, air. Col-fax is a gentleman of fine oratorical powers, goodJudgment and experience. His principles harebeen steadfast from the beginning. Ho has al-ways been ranged upon ue patriotic side, andsustained the country nobly throughout tbc re-bellion As tm-sidlng officer of the Senate hewillbe In a place for which be Is peculiarly fitted.Should his duties as Vice President ever call himfortber.hc will discharge the task withpatriotism,honor and honesty.

From mePhiladelphia Press.In the spontaneous and hearty nomination ofGeneral Grant tho convention at Chicago hut reg-

istered with the requisite formalities the will ofthe people, determined on nearlya year ago, andalready declared through their nations] mouth-piece and Immediate representative, tbc press ofthe country.The first soldier of the nation, and the directchoice cf the people, was really nominated, notatChicago yesterday,bat months ago tn tho home*and hearts o‘ hi* countrymen. For once tho con-vention system has answered its intended consti-tutional fonctionß and recorded accurately thebearingof the popular heart.Nominated with an enthnsinsm and accord neverwitnessedaincc the days of Washington, wo pre-dictthat hts administration will recall the sim-plicity and virtues of the early hours of the re-public, virtue* that are bow but traditional. In thearmy General Grant was distinguished as the en-emyof cabal, clique and ring. In peace. In themanagementof the War Department, his namebaa become synonymous with retrenchment andreform. 1> any man has ever given personalpledges which mar constitute a guaranteeof fit-ness for the high office which we tender. ItIs Grant.

SchuylerColfax, of Indiana, was probably thepersonal, unbiassed choice of more Individualcitizens than any other one of theprominent can-didate* forthe Vice Presidency. He Is not apolitician, ka weaccept that word, or at lout hedocs notbear the reputationof being one. and inthat view hia nomination Is gratifying evidenceof tho Integritysod healthy life of the Republi-can party. Never before, at least in our tuneshas a ticket been placed in thefield wh'ch sprangso directly from thewilt of the people.

Morethanany other leading manta tho country,perhaps Mr. Colfax Is a true and accurate repre-sentative of the averageAmerican citizen—honest.Intelligent, law-loving, and believing with afirmlalth inthe Institution* and government whichhave made ns the envy of nations. Quiet,modest, bat determined and true: beyond sus-picion of compromise orbargain, he is emphati-cally the representative product of onr newcivilization.Prom the Philadelphia North American.

The Republican National Convention at Chi-cago has donethe one great act .for which It wascalled together. It bis nominated by acclama-tionGeneral Ulysses it. Grant. Gcneral-ta-Cbiefof tho armies of the republic,as the candidate oftho cieatpartyof freedom and of progress farPres-ident of tn* United Stales. Although long fore-seen, and therefore not likely to take anyone ana-ware, this nomination nevertheless settles thequestion as to the preferences of Republicans be-yondall dispute, and shows how little groundthere has ever been to base any opposition upon,or to donbt thata grateful people were ready and*v-ions to reward the conqueror of tho rebel--1 QJk

u a source of unalloyed pleasure to all truepatriots that tho nominationfar the highest officeIn the giftof the freest and most progressive na-tionIn the world is bestowed voluntarily, andfrom a sincere conviction that it has bees noblyearned ; thatIt bo* been unsought by the hero ofso many hard foughtbattles; that hehois stoopedtoco base politicalart* to compass the possessionof a prize so much coveted by others, and whichhasbeen refused to even the moat gifted sons ofthe republic; thatbe has not trimmedhiscoarseto win popular favor,nor bowed to partisan be-hests to avoid censure; but has endeared himselfto the people since the return of peace by bismodestbearing, his strict adherence to the hueofbis legitimateduties, hts implicit obedience tosuperiorauthority, and hla adherence to the rigidenforcement of tee laws.

The selection of Schuyler Colfax for Tice Presi-dent ii one that will commandthe endorsement ofall who believe in Republican principles, and de-sire tbelrsscendencylnthe affairs of this nation.Mr Coltax has been thoroughly identified with therise and progress of the groat party of freedomand Union. As a writer and public speaker hehas labored'with unflagging zeal for the cultiva-tion ofa correct public sentiment and for themaintenance of correctpolitical principles. Asamember of Congress he has always ranked high,

and baabeen strongly urged Inconnection withaposition la the Cabinet at various times. AsSpeaker of tho Boase of Representatives he haswon the cordial esteem of all parties, and dis-charged the duties of his office with dignity,moderation, discretion and fidelity. Uis nomiaa-

We venture to assert that there u not antn-stance la history where, the popularity of asoldier or * statesman was so unlimited ud un-bounded as was thatof Grant, from the time oftne capture of Vicksburg until he became theobject of attacks from partisan newspapers, inview of his candidacy for the f residency. Well-ington bad bis enemies and detractors. Wash-ington, Hamilton. Webster ud Lincoln, weredefamed and vtllifiea while living, bat daring aperiod ofmore Iban two years, General Oram wasthe Idol of the Amealcu people—not one voicewas raised against him.

Ho proposes againto ino’ft bpoo the enemy’s works. Every soldier iand patriot of the republic will more to victory Iunder his leadership. Thespirit Of the rebellionmost bo driven fromits last refuge—the Copper-bead party most be destroyed.

The nomination of no candidate for Tice Presi-dent namedat Chicago, would have bean moreacceptable in this community tbu thatof Schuy-ler Colfax. The choice of Wilson or of Hamlinwould bare been equally acceptable to many, batthe selection ofno other candidate tbu the onechesen. wtnld have caused more general satisfac-tion. Speaker Colfax has ever been u uawaver-4sgUd unfaltering Republican. He baa no weakor vulnerable points In his character or politicalrecord. Every act aadnttcnum of hlapublic lifeshows bis deep convictions ud hi* unchangingfaith In soand radical principles. Everypublic position bo has been called oponto fill,be has Ailedwith marked ability.

From theCairo fill.) Times.The ChicagoConventionla over, and nobly has

Itdone Its work. The ticket chosen meets theonivenalapprobation of tho loyal men of the na-tion. It was known that Grant wontd be thochoice of the convention, longbefore the meeting,ud Colfax was nearly as flrsujflxed in the hemsofthat assemblagea* Grant. There was bat oneobjection to him, and that was hi*place of resi-dence. Illinois ud inalana weretdonght to botoo cloee together to fnrnl«h the President udVice President, and as Grant was from theWestseme thought that policy and justice demandedthat the Vice President should bechosen from the Cast: bat when thoconventioa assembled, it was plain to beseen that Coltax was the real choice of themenofthe Castas well of the West, and It cubetruthfully said that no ticket was ever chosen inthis country thatgave such universal satisfactionto the convention ud thepartyas Grant ud Col-tax, Every Republican will goInto the fight (hlafall confidentoi success. Neitherof these groatleaders was ever capturedor conquered,but navoalways been victorious. Grant has always whip-ped the rebel Democrats, when and wherever hehas met them; and Colfax ha*always cleaned oatthe Copperhead Democrats when and wherever Asbaa met them. They will give the Demcrata bat-tle this fall, ud will bag the whole party as ef-fectually as Grant did the rebels at Richmond,The Republicans bare no choice about the nomi-nation* at New York. The Democrats may hangootPendleton. Hancock orSeymour—it is all oneto the Republicans The Republicanswere neverso thoroughly united as on the ticket presentedat Chicago.

We predict that Grant's capture of tho Democ-racy this fall will have almost the same effectupon the Democratic party, that bis capture ofLee had opon therebellion, and will resale la asmuch good to tho country.

SOHETHINQ SEWAND START-LING.

A fflsn Ftopoms to Hake she DescentofMaganaFalla ina Life Boat.

From the Detroit Free Press.Since tbe days of tbe Blocdln furor, when

men at d women stood aghast at tbe fool-hardy daring of tbe great rope-walker,in tbe

of bis remarkable feats at Ni-agara Falla, no inch excitement baa beenknown. A project baa reeentlybeen started,however, which, if carried into execution,will eclipse an; feat of daring ever yet at-tempted.

Charles Ockford, of this city, tbe elxty-hour skater, has conceived the laea of mak-ing tbe perilous passage over tbe Falls ofNiagara lo an India rubber life-boat of pe-culiar construction. Afew weeks ago theideasuggested itselfto his mind, and upon com-municating U tq wmeEistern gentleman itwas proposed by them thatapurse of£io.ooobe raised to induce him tomake the under-taking. Heaccordingly perfected bis scheme,and toecontract for building the boat baabeen let to the Goodyear Rubber Companylor |I,OOO. Tbeboat will be an oblong, witha mean diameter of eight feet,six Inches thick at the top and sides andtbrte feet thick at tbe bott m. A shaftof tbe same material will extend from side toaide in tbe centre, on wbleb will be swungon a pivot a seat, to which tbe adventurousoccupant will bo listened. Opening at tbetop will be an aperture sufficiently large forhim to get inside, otter which it will be filledwith airand closed up. It Lj calculated thatsufflden; air can be retained to anstain lifeabont twenty minutes. A small cable willbe attached to tbe ball, by which it will betowed after tbe descent shall have beenmade, for which purpose parties will be sta-tioned In boats Immediately below the falls.

Tbe model of this novel craft U now inthis city, and there la no doubt that tbe at-tempt tocarry this bUrLUng project Into exe-cution will be m»de daring the present sea-son. Mr. Ockford la quiteconfident that beshall succeed, but tbe chances for successCTtainly look dubious. Should be succeed,Mr.Sydney Doty, of Pont'ac, will also un-dertake tbe same feat.The New School jffabjtefUD General

The church erection report states the totalreceipts at $16,125, being more than $23,003over last rear, though only one-sixth or thechurches nave contributed.

The interest In the far Western field hasgreatly IncrcasctLowing to special efforts ofthe committee. The ministerial relief fnndreports the receipt of $10,479, an Increase ofnine per cent, hutapplicationshave Increasedthirty-fire per cent, being in all sixty-twowho hare been aided within the year.

The report on reunion was presented fromthe Joint committee by Roy. Dr. \YUUamAdams, the New School Chairman. It washeartily applauded at various points, andniter the Doxology bad been sung, the as-sembly standing, a special committee of nine,not yet named, was ordered for its consider*aiion.

Rev. Dr. Robert W. Patterson, of Chicago,presented a dissenting report for himselfalone, be objects, especially to the firstarticle, because It enables the Old School torefuse In the Church the typesof theologydecided to be orthodox by the New School;to the second article because, under the planofüblod. churches may be cut oil wlthm fireyears if they don’t become wholly Presbyte-rian ; to the tenth article, because it demandsan open surrender to th-. Old School—a claimwbicn among others, led to the division.

Dr. Patterson desires a recommitment ofthe whole subject of reunion to the oldcommlttees, with new members added, or toawholly new committee.

Tfce report was referred to the same specialcommittee, with the addition of Dr. Adams,and will not possibly come up before Mon-day. Dr. Patterson sodDr. Spear, of Brook-

< lyn, are expected to advocate at length therejection of the majority report, but thetemper of the assembly seems against them.oTbc fourteen standing committees wereappointed. President Tattle, of WabashCollege, Is Chairman of the Judicial; Pro-fessor Henry Smith, of Overture; and Dr.Spear, of Polity ; Professor Skinner, of For-eign Missions; President Hlckok, of UnionCollege, of Education; Professor Henry A.Nelson, of Home Missions ; Dr. Patterson,of Publication.

Rev. Dr. Easton, of Allegheny City, ap-peared this afternoon as delegate from theUnited Presbyterians, and was well received.He expressed hope that reason and unpreju-diced deliberation would characterize theconsideration of the reunion of both the OldSchool and all other Presbyterian bodies intreaty on that subject. At the Elders’ meet-ing to night the subject of day preachingwas ably and favorably discussed by John L.Kctebam, of Indianapolis, Wm. E. Dodge, ofNew York, and others.

The following gentlemen were appointedtbc Elders' Committee of next year’s meet-ing : William A. Booth. John P. Croibv,Hou. William Dodge, uf New York; ex-Mayor Edward A. Lambert, of Brooklyn;Mr. Baker, of New Jersey; and Louis Cha-pin, ot Rochester, New York.

The Financial Plank la the CUeiff >

Platform*Prom the Cincinnati commercial.Upon the subjectof finance, there is equal-

ly marked and pleasing evidence of thegrowth of a healthy tone. Last year, la theTiin hope ofgaining votes for negro suffrage,many Republicans seemed to be running arace with the Fendletoul&n Democracytoward the goal of repudiation. ArdentRadicals were everywhere exclaiming that Itwas the financial question which defeatedtbc amendment, though It was plain enoughto cool observers that their trouble wasintheir unwillingness tosee what really hadhurt os. A few months 1 reflection hasSrodnctd good results, and In the

enunciation of all forms of repudiationas national crimes, wa have a distinctrepulse of the seductions ofD:mocntUcfinan-ciers which cannot be misunderstood. Pen-dleton and company are to be allowed theSatent right of all schemes for paying off the

ebt in greenbacks, and similar plans forbackruptlng the nation, and we trust thatBen. Butler and TUad. Stevens will take no-tice that their tentative efforts In that direc-tion are not approved by the convention.The care with which ail pettifogging inter-prelations of the national loans are excluded,and the broadness of the terms ofthe resolutions m favor of payingthe public indebtedness “In the ut-most good faith, to all creditors, at homeand abroad, not only according to theletter, but the spirit of the laws underwhich It was contracted.” will do muchInward giving that confidence in the sta-bility of the financial policy of the partywhich the business community need and de-mand* With a reasonable assurance thatbus’neas shell not ran the hazards of injudi-cions legislation, the mercantile world wouldcot be long In fin dkg a satisfactory way ofsolving oar financial problem. Stabilityand freedom from interference la what Isnow demanded more than all else: and togreatIs the risk that any Congressional leg-islation would be upon a mistaken theory,that. If onr best business mencould be heard,webelieve their earnest and united requestwould be, ”Let us alone!” The fifteen ortwenty years the bonds have yet to ran willafford ample opportunity to take advantageof any facilities for redaction of Interestwhich an easy condition of the money mar-ket might offer; and aa to the currency, It isso probable tbit any chsoge made wouldonly introduce a series of vibrations fromcontraction toexpansion, ending In an over-throw of credit, that the “letalone” policyIs the most likely to subserve tbe beet inter-ests of tbe whcle community for some timeto come.KtccpUoa oi the national Board of

•ctaTon taxvmn'aorcrios.Senator Van Winkle has filed Us opinion upon

tbe article* of Impeachment. It appears that Itdiffer* fromthe one read to Senator CatteD, in be*log against tbe eleventh article. He disposes ofthat poillonofthe article charging an attempt toprevent the execution of the Army AppropriationactofiSCT, and the Reconstruction act of Marchfid oftbe aame year, bysaying:

“There la no specification of any'means so dc-viced end contrived, and no sufficient proof ofanyattempt to Interfere with the execution of the twolast mentioned acta. Theirfarther considerationmay be dismissed."

Bethen' continues:“The only specific charge remaining Is.devls-

ing and contriving,and attemptingto devise andcontrive, means by which be should prevent Ur.Stanton resumingbis office. Under the circum-stances stated, and In feet, - the attempttocommit a misdemeanor is rather too remote tobe in Itself a misdemeanor. Tbe naked charge isthat respondent attempted toprevent tbe execu-tion of the Tenure-of Office act by devising andcontriving means whichare nowhere specified, bywhich he should prevent Ur. Stanton from forth-With resetting tbe functions of his office. Toeproof of the charge rests wboliyupoa the respond-ent's correspondence withGeneral Qraut. whichIs In evidence, and by which itappears that re-spondent endeavored to induce theGeneral at atimeprevious to the correspondence, bnt whilethat officer was authorized to perform, and wasperforming, tbe duties of Secretary of War,ad interim, tokeep possession of that office andthereby prevent Mr. btanton’s assumption of it,or to surrender It intime to permit the inductionof a successor for that purpose. This evidence, asfar as It goes. Is sufficiently explicit, but It re-mains to pc determined whether the respondentis, in the words ofthe question to be proposed toevery bens torand to be answered by him undertbe oath be has taken, guilty or not guilty ofahigh misdemeanor as cbaigcd In tbe eleventh ar-ticle. It is. therefore, necessary to con-sider whether the charge It contains de-scribes a high misdemeanor, and ifso, whether respondent is guilty as charged.There can be no doubt that an actual preventionoflbc execution of a law hr one whoso duty it lato take care that the laws be faithfullyexecuted,Is amisdemeanor, and itmay be concededthat anattemptedprevention by such a person's also amisdemeanor, but it is to be doubted whetheramerely devising and contriving means by whichsuch prevention mightbe effected,is an attempt tocommit no act which constitutes an offence. De-vising Is simply a mental operation, andwhile contriving may have a broader sig-nification, the connection in which itla used here seems to restrict It, even with thelight thrown upon these words by the cridcncoas above cited. They appear to Imply nothingmore than an intention toeffect an alleged pre-vention. An intention not followed by any actcannot constitute an attempt to commit a mis-demeanor,and the question to be proposed mostbe answered negatively. It may be remarked thattbe evidence further discloses that the object ofrespondent inhlspropial to General Grant was tdcompelUr. 3tan ton toInstitute legal proceedingsby which his right to tbe omce deniedby the respondent could be test-ed. This would not have Justifiedthealleged attempt had It been actually made,but It would have qualified the intention byshowing that the object was notprimarily to vio-late thelaw, and thus have at least tended to di-minish the criminality Involved In an illegalact."
