The other objects of, the Scriptural Know ledge Institution are not less important than ' the care of the orphans. These are—- 1. To assist and establish day, Sabbath, and adult schools, in which instruction is given in Scriptural principles. Six day schools, with .four hundred and eighty-five children, are entirely supported by the insti tution, and eleven" others are assisted with money or books:; one Sabbath- school and two adult schools are supporteo, and five Sab bath-schools assisted with books. These schools are in different countries. j" To circulate the Holy Scriptures. Bibles and New Testaments are sold to poor persons at reduced prices, or given gratuitously, the particular aim being tQ_seek out the poorest of the poor. Many servants of Christ in various parts of the world have received copies of the Scriptures for circulation among the poor. About 6500 Bibles and‘Testa ments have been thus soldi or given, away, during the year, many in foreign languages. 3. To aid missionary efforts. During the past year £5669 were expended for this ob ject, chiefly in gifts to one hundred and twenty two evangelists in the British isles and iu-other countries, the sums given to each varying from £2O to £l4O. The report contains numerous extracts from the letters of laborers thus assisted. The letters from Madrid are especially interesting. The brothers who are there working quietly but earnestly in the dissemination of the truth, are able to give encouraging reports of 1 heir labors. 4. To circulate, tracts and books. During the year £lO6B were expended lor this object, and 2,659,016 tracts and books were circu lated, above 1,600,000 of which were-given gratuitously. The orphan work completes the objects of lnstitution. Destitute children Dorn in wedlock, who have lost both their parents by death, are received in the order of applica tion/from their earliest days, and are kept till they are qualified to earn their living. The girls are. trained for service, and rarely leave the institution till they are eighteen or nineteen years old; the boys are generally apprenticed; both receive a plain education, ana are well taught in the Scriptures, through which many, it is 1 believed, have become wise unto salvation. For all these various objects, Mr. Muller received during the first fourteen months of the existence of the institution, £617; dur ing the past year the total income was £30,039 4s. llfd. Since the commencement of the work the sum of £212,872 11s. Id. has been sent to him for the orphans, and £84,407 Os.6id. for other objects ol the in stitution, without any (me Having been per sonally applied to by Mm, for anything With - these tacts before them, who can doubt that God answers prayers? .... . RECONSTRUCTION POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT. The'mystery which has hung Over the course of the Administration toward the Sbuth is cleared up. In what we published lap week, and now publish, President John son finally speaks out. He declares his ,pur . pose to rapidly relieve the Southern States of the, presence of national troops, and allow, them to substitute.for United States soldiers,, .armed' State forces of their own, to enforce, 'loyalty to the General Government. He will not interfere in the matter of qualifications for the right of suffrage, except in cases where amnesty proclamations do not apply, an exception which is almost unfelt in the canvass, while pardons are being distributed broadcast, and a general amnesty is probably at hand. Upon this basis of suffrage, con ventions are being assembled, constitutions are to be constructed, and congressional elec tions held. Questions of Federal sovereignty and State rights are to go back into statu quo unsettled and alive for strife. The negro, in all but nominal slavery, is to be left‘to the : tender mercies of his former haters and op pressors. The character of tile reconstruct ing' constituency is a moral guarantee against any ratification of the Emancipation amend ment by one reconstructed State. Kentucky and Delaware, as yet remain legally, slave States, and manifest no- purpose to yield the point.: Nothing remains but for New Jersey to persist in her record of shame, and all this flourish that has gone over the world that we have extirpated slavery from our soil, recoils upon us in burning scorn. Meantime, at the present rate of progress, before the first of September, the Southern delegations to Con gress will‘be filled with men of intensely Southern spirit, and perhaps the Southern States well armed. And so, says .the Presi dent, in his speech to a Southern delegation, vie shall be governed by a spirit of generous conciliation, become mutually forbearing, and forgiving, return to our old habits of fraternal kindness, and become better Jriends than 1 ever.; v r ; Hail the President, on the morning of his nauguration, proclaimed this line' of-poliby, THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1865 it would have been felt by this nation, amid the already sufficient gloom of that hour, as the coming on of the blackness of darkness. We take it more calmly now. This people is, at the present moment, an illustration that “Hope Springs eternal in the human breast. ” We feel ourselves passing through a fearful experiment, and, if our President, whose personal loyalty we do not undertake to ques tion, can, in this way, bear us through the storm, and bring about the expected accom plishments of our long season of trial, we are content. We can but wait; The Ledger of this city, which of late is assuming - the tone of a Philadelphia semi official of the Administration, has a Wash ington “special” correspondent who seems to make it his vocation to divide the hitherto united sentiment of the loyal North, on the vital issues of the war. Simply to show the drift of things, we copy, without additional comment, and without knowing whether he has authority for one quarter that he says, the whole of his letter of September 13. The President will fight this radical war to the bitter end. Within one month after the inauguration of our new President, I advised you, on high authority, that in no event would the radical element be favored* and the whole course of Mr. Johnson since has proved, the correctness of that assertion. There is.no colder quarter of the city to the destructive faction than the White House. Representatives therefrom have called and called, sent in .card after card, but in most cases the President is too ‘.‘ busy” to attend to them; he is “ engagedl” Their calls are less frequent of late, and they have opened the war outside. It win be futile! though not without pro bable serious embarrassment to the President in carrying out the work of “ restoration” he has so npbly commenced. This is the “new danger that threatens us.” As long ago as the 4th of July the Executive saw the cloud of opposition to his policy .rising, and then used the above His sagacity—far seeing and penetrating—saw it all. To meet the contest he armed at once, and planted himself square upon the bulwark of the Con stitution. To a well-knpwn Southerner last week, he said, “My chart is the Constitution, I shall not deviate*from it a hair’s breaih if I can help it. On that Constitution the States must be restored, and. the.privileges which it confers.must be theirs. They are entitled to them, and they shall have them!” The President is firmly anchored there, and it is because he. has so fast a hold upon the helm. of the national ship, that the waves of fanaticism and discord dash about him., They would beat him from his position, but it will be. “thus far and no farther,” and they who think otherwise do not know the pilot they, are dealing with. The list of radical complaints thus far made out, and to be presented immediately after the opening of Congress, is as follows: Ist. Refusal to extend negro suffrage. ; 2d. The appointment of-Secessionists as Provincial Governors. 3d. The free exercise of , the pardoning power, wherein where included many' who should have been hanged". ; , 4th. The introduction •of arms into the. Southern States. sth. The disbanding of*the colored regi ments. ;• 6th. The refusal to order a sweeping con fiscation. V 1 7th. The restoration of the Southern chur ches. Sfch. The refusal to arraign Lee, the leader ot the rebel hosts, after he had been indicted for treason. - .... 9th. The refusal to "try Davis by a Military Court. : , ; " 10th." The apathy shown in the enforce ment of the Monroe Doctrine as applicable to Mexico. Such is the list so far, and there is no dis puting that.it is quite formidable; but I re peat, the President is ready, not only for the 1 opening gun, hut for all the . terrific fire that is expected to follow. That the conservative masses-—those who love their country and their whole country—will sustain him in solid column, there can be no question, and this is all the President asks. Grant him this sup port,. and he will hand his name down to pos terity a second Washington. REBELS NOT TO .BE TRUSTED WITH POLITICAL POWER. FROM BOX. CHAS. SUMNER’S SPEECH AS CHAIRMAN OF THE MASSACHU SETTS STATE CONVENTIONS. , ; * The topic, of this eloquent and .earnest pro duction is Security for the Future, The in violability of the;.- National-, Deb.t, and the legally reCognized'Equality of.tbejFreedmen are the chifefelements of this security-in the. view of the-speaker. We 'commence our ex tracts With a striking and impressive compari sopi' " :;i ‘ • T -'-- ,T ' THE DIKES OP HOLLAND. 1 _ And here' ’allow me to presen t an illustra tion, which, unless I mistake, will make our duty clear.' You do not forget the immense, and costly- dikes, built by Holland against the sea ; but, perhaps, you may not call to mind their, origin and importance. Before these embankihents were constructed the whole country ' wastin' constant danger. At an early period there WaS an irruption Which destroyed no less than forty-four villages;-followed very soon by another which destroyed eighty thou sand lives, v In the fifteenth century, there was still another which swept away one hun dred thousand'person s —a terrible sacrifice,: even greater in proportion to the population of Holland at that time, than what we have been called tq bear from the bloody irruption of slavery. At last the'dikes wereconstructed' as safeguards, and down' to this'day they are preserved. at_ a large annual cost. Precau tions of all-kinds are snperadded.- A special corps of engineers, educated at Delft, is con stantly employed in the work of renovation. Watchmen, patrol the walls, and alarm-bells are ready to ring. The gratitude of the peo ple shows itself even to its unconscious pro tectors; and the stork, which, resting here on his night from Africa, destroys the vermin that weaken and sap the dikes, is held in veneration, so that to kill a stork is looked upon as little less than a crime. Such are some of the by which Holland is guarded against dangqr from the sea. But how petty is her danger compared with ours! We tOo must have our dikes, with engineers to keep : them strong—with watchmen to pa trol them—with alarm-bells to ring; and we too must have our storks tp; destroy the ver min that weaken and sap ,our embankments, What shall be our defences ? How shall we guard againstdestructive irruptions ? And where shall we establish our security for the future ? Our embankments must not be of earth. Walls of stone will not do. Towers, ramparts, and buttresses will ,be impotent against our vindictive tide. The security we seek must.be found in organic law with irre versible guarantees; and these irreversible guarantees must be co-operative with the dan ger. PRACTICAL POINTS—WATS NOT TO OBTAIN GUARANTEES. Inobtaining these guarantees there are cer tain practical points which must-not be disre garded. Knowing what we need, and satis fied with regard to the powers of the National Government, the path will be easy. As there are ways to obtain guarantees, so, also, there are ways not to obtain them. And, first, of. the ways not to obtain them. .(1-) Irreversible guarantees cannot be ob *a,ln®c* by haste. No. State must be precipi tated back to .the Union. Precipitation back will be. hardly less fatal than" that original precipitation which plunged the country into the abyss of war. When a State is readmit ted, it becomes practically independent. Therefore prudence, care, and watchfulness will be needed to see that the National inter ests are not imperilled by any sudden trans formation. (2.) Irreversible guarantees canuot be ob tained merely by Executive action". Some thing more is needed. No President can safely say,. “ The State—it is I.” He is only a part of the. State, and, on this account, there.is a new motive to reserve. What he does is subject to the correction of Congress, and therefore cannot be final. .(3. ) Irreversible guarantees cannot be ob tained by yielding to the prejudice of color, and insisting upon the separation of the races. A voice from the West—God save the West ! revives the exploded theory of colonization, partly to divertattention from the great ques tion of Equal Rights. To that voice I reply, first, you ought not to do it; and, secondly, you cannot do it.. You ought not to do it, because, besides its intrinsic and fatal injus tice, you will thus deprive the country of what it most) needs, that is labor. Those freedmen, on the spot, are better even than mineral wealth. "Each is a mine, out of whom riches can be drawn, provided you let him share the product And through him that general industry will be established which is better than anything-but virtue, and is, in-, deed, a form of virtue. It is vain to say that this is the country of the “ white man/” It is the country of Man.; Whoever disowns any member,,of the Human Family, as Bro ther, disowns God as Father, and thus be come impious as well as inhuman/ It is the glory of Republican" Institutions that they give ; practical form to this irresistible, princi ple. If any body is to be sent away, let it be the guilty, and not the innocent;, The exile of leading rebels will be a public good. As loDg as they''B6htinue here they willresist the establishment of- guaranteesbut it is little short of madness to think of exiling loyal, per sons, whose, strong arms are needed, not’ only for the cultivation-of the soil, but also for the protection of the Government itself. (4.) Irreversible guarantees ; cannoit be ob tained by oaths. All oaths are Uncertain- Political oaths have become a proverb, whe ther in England or France.. They have been taken freely, and have been broken without hesitation. The, Milanese, in reply, to -the Emperor Barbarossa, : said,- “You had our oath, but we never Swore to keep it.” Our -rebels have been taught the same duplicity,. They have been told authoritatively, that the oath.was unconstitutional, and, therefore, not binding ; and so they take if easily. But who can find a guarantee in such"a perform ance? A Swedish 5 priest* l’Stoly-'pbisoned the sacramental wine, and so ’these' counsellors have poisoned this sacred obligation. 7 But if an path be taken, it must not stop, with the support of the Proclamation of Emancipation. It must embraceJlall those other objects of guarantee, including especially the rights of the National freedmeu, and of the National creditors. Each of these will be a test of loy alty. But at a moment like the present, at the close of a ferocious rebellion, when hatred and passion are only pent up. and ; not extin guished,, an oath is little better than a cotton thread tor a cable to hold a frigate scourged by a northwester. The Hollanders might-as well undertake to swear each individual wave that beats updn their coasts. They did bet ter.. They; made dykes. Gone .to-s.wear a peace,” says .Constance, most scorpfully, -as she denounced "an oath 1 of pretended recon ciliations' And shall we be content merely, when our rebels’ ” swear a peace ?” WAYS TO OBTAIN GUARANTIESS. Such aresonie of the modes to be rejected.* And now, ip the second place, consider the ways in which guarantees may. be obtained. {l.) Time is necessary. There must be no precipitation. Time is the gentlest; but most powerful, revolutionist. Time; is; the surest reformer.,. Time is a peace-maker.,, Time is necessary to growth, and it is an, element of change. For thirty.yeafs and more this wick edness was maturing. Who can say that the same time will hot be needed now to'mature the conditions of permanent peace? Who'can say that a generation must not elapse before these rebel communities have been so far changed as to become safe aesdciatesln ai com mon government ? Plainly, this roannot be done atonce; Wellington exclaimed, “ Would that night orßlucherhadcome! ” . Time alone was a substitute for a powerful 'ally, Iti was more through time than batile -tbat- La 1 Ven dee was changed into doyalty.i : partnership -of the ■{ National Government, any of those ancient associates, who hate warred, upon their Let them wait-. You have said that'treason is ‘a icrime,’- and not merely a difference of opinion, iDo not let the criminals bear sway. Congress has already set the example of ex cluding them. For the presentifolloW Con gress. "Follow the Constitution also, which knows no distinction of color, and do not sac rifice a whole race by resuscitating ’an offen- Black Code, inconsistent with the National Security and the National Faith. There also is the Declaration of Independ ence, which now shines like-the sun, rejoicing ,to penetrate eyery cabin and every by-way, if you will not.stand in itslight. Above all, do not take from "the loyal black man and give lb the disloyal white man; do nbt confiscate the political rights of the tfeednlan, who has shedhis blood for us, and lavish-them upon his rebel master.. And remember that justice .to thC cblored race is the Sheet anchor of the national debt. ”' " *" - CONCLUSION For myself, fellow-citizens, [iariibn me if I say that my course is fixed. Others may hesi tate pothers; may turn away from those great truths, which make the far-reaching Bright ness ot the Republicothers may seek a tem porary favor by a temporary surrender. I shall not. The victory of blood, whiqh has been so painfully won, must be confirmed by a greater victory of ideas, so that the renown ed words oPAbrahain Lincoln may be fulfilled, and , “ this iNation under G-od shall haven, new birth of Freedom,,and;goyernment of the peo-. pip, by the pipjple, and for the people, shall not perith from "the earth. ” To this end I seek no merely formal Union, seething and smother “ed curses,“but a praetical, moral, and politi cal Unity, - founded on common rights, together by common interests, and .inspired by a common faith, where our Constitution, interpreted anew,' shall be a covenant* with’ 5 life and a league with’ fiea- r wen, and;, Liberty,,shall,.be everywhere not only a right hut a duty.

The above engraving represents our new BURIAL CASKET, draped inside with Cashmere, Satin or other material, and constructed substantially air tight by the novel invention of PATENT CIRCULAR ENDS, without any j oints, thus rendering them more durable and better adapted to the purpose for which they are needed. • / 3^^ They are tastefully manufactured from Grained Rosewood, Mahogany, Black Walnut and other ma terials, finished aud ornamented according to order* or covered with black cloth, and retaining all the re quisites of an appropriate receptacle for the dead. So much as is repulsive has been discarded in the ar rangement and shape of the above Circular Ends. Locks and hinges are used in place of screws in np the casket; Besides, they are so constructed that when required they can be made air-tight,so that deceased bodies can be conveyed any distance, no matter how long.they have been interred. Itis intended that we visit the battle-fields frequently with our plain Gaskets; which; on our return, can be fin ished 15 any style desired. It is well known that many of the Railroad'Companies refuse to tranport a body unless placed in an air-tight case. These Cas kets are furnished at one-third less than our metallic coffins. The undersigned also offers to the public in general his JPatentCorpse 'Preserver t a New Invention, for the preservation of the bodies of deceased persons by cold air alone, and without'the application of ice, which is so repulsive to the ieelings. pressing the body down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of ice, and satnr ating it with water. N. B.— Having been instructed by Prof. Chamber lin, the regular authorized Embalmer for the United States Armies in his unrivalled process of Mnbalmina and Veodortzing the dead, I am prepared to; execute all work of the kind intrusted to my care in a satis factory manner, or no charge. Orders received and executed for tbe removal of the dead, from any of tbe Battle-fields or Hosnital Grounds.
