PRESBYTERIAN.
a S. Synod of New York—This body
has shown its true allegiance to the policy of
the General Assembly in the treatment of
political and religious disloyalty. The Synod
met at Newburgh, Oct. 16. Dr. Vandyke
appeared, with Prof. Eaton, of Brooklyn, for
his attendant elder. But 'Prof. Eaton had
unfortunately signed the famous "Declara
tion and Testimony" against the patriotic
action of the General Assembly, and there
fore,in pursuance of the explicit order of
the Assembly, the Synod refused to enroll '
his name, notwithstanding or long speech
which he made. The yeas and nays being
called by Dr. Vandyke, the motion to ex
igude was carried-111 to 7. Vandyke pre.
tented protest, and the Synod, on motion of
Dr. West, resolved that, as it was an old
story, no answer was needed. A similar
effort, made in the Presbytery of Nassau was
attended with the same result, and both
pastor and elder withdrew, to the general
satisfaction.
The Wisconsin Presbyterian and Con
gregational Convention, which last year
celebrated its quarter-century anniversary,
held its annual meeting at Fort , Atkinson,
Oct. 3d-6th, Rev. S. A. Dwinell, of Reeds
burg, moderator. The opening_sermon was
by the last 'moderator, Rev. D. Clary, of
Beloit, agent of the Home Missionary
Society. Rev. G. J. Wood represented the
N. S. General Assembly ; Rev. C. D. Pills
bury the Wis. M. E. Conference; Rev. A.
Bartlett the General Association of Ohio;
and Rev. E. B. Turner, by letter, the new
General Conference (Cong.) of Missouri,
which was placed on the list of corresponding
bodies. A committee--Messrs. Love, Collie,
Allison, Judson, and Williams—was ap
pointed, to consider the relation of deeret
societies to church fellowship. Ripon was
fixed as the place of next meeting, and
Ripon College was commended. The sub
jects of temperance, and Sabbath sanctifica
tion, and Christian benevolence were taken
up in earnest. Rev. G. S. F. Savage repre
sented the American'Tract Society, Rev. J.
R. Shipherd the American Missionary As
sociation, and Rev. Samuel Ruggles, a mis
sionary of bhc American Board at Sandwich
Islands, made an interesting address. A
committee was appointed to superintend the
matter of securing evangelists and promot
ing revivals. Saturday evening was spent
in celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the church in that place.—lndependent.
Action of Dr. Vandyke's Church.—ln
view of the refusal of the Synod of New York
and the Presbytery of Nassau to allow the
Elder from this church who is a signer of the
Declaration and Testimony to sit in those
bodies, the Session of the church passed a
paper, of which the following resolutions
form the main part :
Resolved, 1. That this session, while pro
fessing our firm and ardent attachment to the
doctrines of the Presbyterian Church, and our
sincere purpose to obey all the requirements
of the higher courts of the Church, which do
not conflict with our allegiance to Christ, our
supreme Head, do, at the same time, solemn
ly declare that the acts and deliverance of the
General Assembly recited in the foregoing
preamble, being unconstitutional, and with
out warrant from the revealed will of God,
are null and void, and of no binding force
upon us.
Resolved, 2. That we will continue as here
tofore, to receive members into this Church
from Churches in the Southern States, upon
the same conditions that we require from
persons coming from any other part-of-the
world, viz,: satisfactory evidence of repent
ance toward God, and faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ; and will ask them no questions
whatever in regard to their polilical conduct.
Resolved, 3. That Elder Darwin G. Eaton
is hereby appointed to represent this session
in the Synod of New York, and in the Pres
bytery of Nassau, and that we will appoint
zio other representative until his right to his
seat is recognized, or until his good standing
us a member of this session has been impeach-.
ad by regular process of law, according to the
provisions of the Book of Discipline.

THE EXECUTIVE.
The Claims against England. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Times telegraphs thus:— '` In regard to our
affairs with England, growing out of the
• depredations during the late war, of the
privateers Alabama and Shenandoah, Mr.
Adams, our Minister to the Court of St.
James, was some time since instructed to
make a peremptory demand for indemnity
for the losses sustained by our commercial
interests. To this demand Mr. Adams re
ceived an evasive reply. He was immediately
instructed to repeat the demand. He did so,
but no definite response has yet been received,
but the tone of the English newspapers re
cently received indicates that these, renewed
and persistent demands have not been without
effect. The British Government is now put
ting out feelers in their various organs, show
ing their disposition in the matter. From
these it appears that they are willing to sub
mit the claims to arbitration or to a Board bf
National Commissioners. Our Government
will accept no arrangement of this sort, but
will insist on a prompt and full payment of
16
chi' This is our 'ultimatum, as contained
in instructions under which Mr. Adams
is acting."
Etr. Seward has written to our Consul in
Canada, and to the British minister in
Washington, with a mixture of intercession
and diplomatic menace in behalf of the Feni
ans, Lynch and McMahon, sentenced to be
hung at Toronto.
Pardons Extraordinary—The President
has pardoned George A. Trenholm, ex-rebel
Secretary of the 'Treasury, on the special
recommendations of Major-Generals Howard,
Sickles, Dix and others. Lafayette Mc-
Imes, Major-General in the rebel army in.
Georgia, has been pardoned by the Presi
dent.
Consequences of Pardon.—Robert .M.
Lee, of.this city, who was twice convicted
before the United States District Court of
fraud and for ery, and each time vardoned
by President Johnson, was arrested in Chi
cago in the act of passing a $4OO forged
check, tried, convicted and sentenced to
thirteen years' imprisonment.
TILE STATES
Pennsylvania.—Hon. C. V. Culver, now
confined in jail at Franklin, desires to avail
himself' or his Congressional privilege, and
will meet his trial in November. Besides
civil processes innumerable ' several indict
ments charging him with false pretences and
embezzlement are pending, and to be called
up nest month at Harrisburg. Last week the
house and furniture of. the gentleman were
sold at the instance of his creditors.—Gen.
John F. Hartranft, Auditor- General of Penn
sylvania, has accepted the appointment of
colonel in the regular army, tendered'him
some time ago by the Secretary of War, and
will leave his office, at Harrisburg, on the
Ist of November.
New Jersey.—One of the Assemblymen,
on trial at Trenton, bas been found guilty of
bribery, and recommended to mercy.—
Daniel Holsman is now on trial for offering
$lOOO to George W. Thompson, member of
Assembly from Bordentown, to defeat the
Morris and Essex Contract, and $2OOO to vote
in favor of the "Wet Basin" bill. Bradley,
Kinginan and G. M. Robeson for defence.
These trials and their result, as above stated,
are a Credit to our sister State, which is no
worse off in the matter of legislative corrup
tion than others, but which, it seems, is re
solved to expose and punish it somewhat as
it deserves. Other States should go and do
likewise.
Nassachnsetts.—The work of boring the
Hoosac Mountain is going forward at three
principal places—on the easterly side, near
the Deerfield river, at the top, and on the
west side. The shaft on the top'is 317 feet
deep, from the bottom of which the bore is
extended east and west. The distance al
ready drilled is about 1000 feet. Nitro-gly
cerine is used in blasting, and found more
effective than gunpowder. The progress
made in the cut is from sixteen to twenty
!our feet per week. The total distance gained
is more than a mile. Three miles of solid
rock yet remain to be tunneled.
Vermont.—The Legislature has elected
L. P. Poland and George T. Edmunds United
States Senators, to fill the unexpired terms
of Messrs. Collamer and Foote, deceased.
Hon. Justin S. Morrill was chosen Senator
for the full term of six years, from the 4th of
next March.
Ohio.—The official Republican majority is
42,696.
Maryland. —Mr. George Peabody .has
given an additional $500,000 to the Peabody
Institute in Baltimore, making,• with the
$500,000 before given, an endowment of $l,-
000,000.
W. Virginia.—At the election,Oct. 25,
the vote polled was larger than at any elec
tion since the Presidential campaign of 1861.
The returns, as compared with the vote on
the constitutional amendment, which was
carried by 7000 majority, show Republiban
gains. Governor Boreman is re-elected by
an equal majority. Hubbard, Republican,
for Congress from the first district, is return
ed by about 1600 majority. In the second
district, Kitchen, Republican, is elected . by a
majority of Wheeling city and Ohio
county were warmly contested.
North Carolina.—The Raleigh Standard
says that about forty members of the newly
elected Legislature of North Carolina will
favor the adoption of the. Constitutional
amendment. It defines the position of the
remaining one hundred and thirty members
to be friendly "to the President as against
the Radicals. They accept and approve all
that he does which is favorable to the South,
and reject all that does not favor the South,
or that savors of stria loyalty or staunch na
tionality."
South Carolina.—Governor Orr is utterly
and unequivocally opposed to the Constitu
tional Amendment, and will not recommend
its adoption by the Legislature.
Alabama.—The Pennsylvania Freedmen's
Relief Association had completed a school
house at Stephenson, Alabama, Oct. 21, and
would have conimenced a colored shool the
next day, but on that morning some incendi
aries burned the building to the ground.
Texas.—A proclamation has been issued
by Governor Throckmorton, dated October
8, declaring the proposed amendments to the
Constitution to be ratified by the people of
Texas and made part of the Constitution of
the United States. He reports the vote of
the
.State to be 28,119 in favor of, and 23,400
against the amendment, which the Legisla
ture however, have refused to adopt, by a
voterof.67 yeaa-to-5 mugs.
THE BALTIMORE. COMMISSIONERS
ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 26.—The investigation
of the charges against the Police Commis
sioners commenced at eleven o'clock. A
large number of witnesses were present.
The counsel of ,the Commissioners appeared
and announced that they came to participate
in the cross-examination, but did not with
draw their plea against the jurisdiction of
the Governor to pass final judgment.
The Governor decided to permit the coun
sel to examine the witnesses, and he said he
claimed jurisdiction to try the case and pass
judgment, and that he was responsible to no
tribunal but the Legislature, and that he
would proceed-with the case without techni
calities,, and intended to reach a decision not
later than Wednesday. He also announced
that if in the course of the investigation the
innocence or guilt of the Commissioners
should appear he would act' instantly, even
if in the midst of proceedings.
The evidence was mainly against the
judges of the "election, charging them with
rejecting qualified voters, and with acting
from partizan motives. Also, charging cer
tain members of the police force with being
influenced by political prejudices.
THE CITY.
Testimonial to W. Hepworth Dixon,
Esq.—Mr. Dixon, of London, editor of the
Ath,encegm, author of "The Life of John
Howard;". "Prison Life," "The Vindica
tion of Lord Bacon," and other works, is at
present on a tour through the United States.
He reached Philadelphia early last week, and
has been the recipient of many compliments
at the hands of literary gentlemen in this
city, who recognize in him the successful
champion of William Penn against the at
tacks of Lord Macaulay in his H' istory.
On Tuesday evening a splendid banquet
wasgiven at the Continental Hotel, where
Mr. Dixon met about forty distinguished citi
zens of Philadelphia. The arrangements were
very complete, and the entertainment was
one• of the finest ever given in this city.
Mayor McMichael presided, and among the
guests present were J. Gillingham Fell, Gen
eral Meade, George H. Boker, Bayard Tay
lor, J. B. Lippincott, and others. After the
dinner had been disposed of, Mr. McMichael,
in a. graceful speech, introduced Mr. Dixon,
with a reference to his numerous literary
works, and his manly stand in behalf of the
Federal cause during the progress of the re
bellion.
Mr. Dixon, in response, expressed his deep
gratification at the reception he had met in
the United States, and especially in Phila
delphia. He
.referred to his journey west
ward nearly to the Pacific, and the kind
greeting he had everywhere received. He
paid a hearty tribute to the memory of Penn;
to the immense power and to the growing
resources of the nation ; spoke in eloquent
terms of the attractions of our city, so well gov
erned by its present mayor, and to the merits
and widely-spread reputation of the Historical
,Seciety of Pennsylvania. In conclusion, he
gave an invitation to his friends to visit him
in London and in Yorkshire.
Messrs. Wallace and Jones, on behalf of
the Historical Society, spoke and referred
particularly to Mr. Dixon's vindication of
William Penn, changing him " from - a myth
into a man." Mr. Jones also referred to
Mr. Dixon's life of Bacon,. and noted as a
curious fact, that the first book ever printed
in Philadelphia was Bacon's Essays, issued
by Bradford, the friend of Penn, in 1688.
There are but two living, representatives—
J. Granville Penn, who visited this country
a few years ago, andi a brother, who is insane.
Both have become - reduced and are in need
of assistance. It is probable that at the
coming session of the Legiplature a bill will
be introduced to grant an annuity to the two

members of the family, who are now ad
vanced in years, unmarried.
There are now Twenty Ocean Steam
ships regularly running to and from this
port. They range from 800 to 2700 tons,
according to the trade in which they are em
ployed. They ply along our whole coast from
Boston to New Orleans, and run from Phila
delphia to Liverpool regularly.
A number of whisky stills and their ap
purtenances, and a large Quantity of whisky
seized, were condemned, Oct. 26th, in the
United States District Court.—Deaths last
week 306 ; by Cholera 43 ; a large decline in
both figures.
To Denmark, under the rule of Frederick
VI., must be awarded the honor of being
the first Power to prohibit the slave-trade
in 1792, and to abolish slavery in 1803.
A Speck of War in Holland.—From
the information contained in the subjoined
paragraph, taken from the Berlin corres
pondence of the London Times, it would
seem as though Prussia is carrying her terri
torial designs into a quarter where no trouble
had been anticipated.
" The Dutch government, objects to the
continuance of a Prussian garrison in the for
tress of Luxembourg. But their argument,
that the German confederacy having ceased
to be, Prussia has no right to keep her troops
in what no longer is a Federal fortress,
is
met by the government retorting that the
city and citadel of Luxembourg have been
surrendered to it under the. Vienna treaties
of peace previous to and independent of the
completion of the German Federal act. Hol
land has now applied to France for support,
but failed to elicit any assistance, the ques
tion being too serious to be made the subject
of a simple remonstrance, or, indeed, to be
treated at all without a menace of war.
Taking advantage of the very danger involved
in the matter, and the unwillingness of
France to face it just yet, Prussia on her
part actually demands that the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, whose name has been en-.
tirely omitted in her former projects, shall
enter the north German confederacy."
The Death Penalty for Armed Rebels.
—Col. Lynch, one of the Fenians on trial at
Toronto, has been sentenced to be hanged on
the 13th of December.
The Empress Carlotta's Sealth.—La
France, published in Paris, confirms the in
telligence as to the alarming mental condi
tion of the Empress of Mexico, and states
that her life is in the utmost danger, she'
having -" broken down from over-worked
nerves, after the immense bodily fatigue of
her journey."
A Royal Decree has recently been issued
in Spain which repeals an enactment equi*
alent to our old fugitive-slave law. Here
after slavery is to be treated as a local insti
tution peculiar to Porto Rico or Cuba, and
the moment a person held as a slave in
those islands reaches, from any cause, any
other portion of the Spanish dominions, or
the territory of any State where slavery does
not exist, he regains his freedom.- This g
another evidence of the power of enlight:-
ened public, opinion.
Mexico.—Late Mexican despatches state
that the Imperialists are moving to retake
the places they have recently abandoned, and
that the French troops about to leave for
Europe have been ordered to remain.—
New Orleans despatches of October 24, say :
—` `'A private letter received in Brownsville
announces a severe battle near Saltillo, rout
ing and defeating the Liberals under Naranjo
and Martinez. This victory literally placed
Saltillo in the bands of the Imperialists
--who-were-daily expected -in Monterey. A
long . despatch is said to have been recently
received from Napoleon, which had the effect
of halting some French troops about embark
ing, and others were ordered to prepare for
active service. "—Later reports from Mexico
are condensed in the following summary :
"The situation of the Empire is daily grow
ing worse. It has lately lost Guaymas, Her
mosillo, Ures, Llanor, Zongolica and other
places of less importance. On the 6th, an
important conference took place at the palace
at Chepultepec, upon the most efficacious
means to obtain funds for the Treasury, and
a committee was appointee to draw up a re
port, which was all that was accomplished.
Maximilian and his court were preparing to
go to Vera Cruz, to meet Carlotta, who was
expected there by November Ist."
Gen. Sheridan has sent a despatch to Gen.
Sedgrvick, commanding on the Rio Grande,
instructing him to warn all adherents of any
party, or pretended government in Mexico,
or the State of Tamaulipas, that they will
not be permitted to violate the neutrality
laws between the Liberal Government of
Mexico and the United States. —The Mexi
can Minister has received despatches from
the city of Puebla, Mexico, containing the
official report of the battle of Txmiquilpam,
where the Belgian Legion was entirely cut to
pieces. Colonel Vandersmissen 2 with the
Belgian command, attacked Ixmiquilpam, a
place thirty leagues from the city of Mexico,
and was defeated by the Mexicans. The
legion lost twenty officers killed on the spot.
The legion retired to Tula, leavinc , 6 their ar
tillery and trains in the hands of the Mexi
cans. Their officers who survived that battle
have since embarked at Vera Cruz for Bel
gium.
On Wednesday Princess Murat arrived in
Boston, en route for Florida. The lady is a
descendant of Joachim Murat, King of Na
ples, and has long resided in Florida. An
annuity of nearly $4,000 has been settled
upon her by the Emperoi Napoleon.
Er THE ATLANTIC CABLE
BERLIN, Oct. 21.—The castle of Konig
stein, on the Elbe, was ceded to Prussia to
day. The electoral law recently passed by
the Parliament, and the treaty of alliance
with the German States, were promulgated
to-day.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 25.—The Sultan
of Turkey has formally recognized the Hos
podar, and given him a reception at his
palace. •
BERLIN, Oct. 25.—The treaty between
Prussia and Saxony has been fully ratified.
Pursuant to its provisions, Saxony is to pay
ten million of forms.
The Briny of Saxony has already been dis
solved.
BADEN, Oct. 25.—The House of Deputies
has rejected the proposed alliance with Prus
sia.
PA Us, Oct. 26.—The condition of the Em
press Carlotta is described as being hopeless.
The Eniperor Maximilian will probably re
rurn in an Austriim frigate which was re
cently dispatched from Trieste by the Em
peror Francis Joseph. It is said that twenty
war steamers will leave for Mexico in Novem^
ber to bring home the entire French force
now in that country.
FLORENCE, October 27.—An arrival from
Candia states that another great battle took.'
place on the 17th inst. The Greeks report
that the Turkish army was repulsed.
The Western:Corn Crop.—The Cincinnati
Price Current states that, notwithstanding
the contradictory reports about frost and
floods, the corn crop will undoubtedly be
a large one, although a small portion of it
will be unsound. the general estimate of
the aggregate corn crop of the United States
for 1866 is over 1,050,000,000 bushels.

The Meteoric Display.—The meteoric
shower promised by the astronomers about
the middle of November is, it appears, pre
ceded by preliminary exhibitons. For seve
ral nights past, notwithstanding the moon
light, brilliant meteors have been noticed in
the heavens, and the grand. display antici
pated next month will probably not fail us.
Everything indicates that the earth is enter
ing a region of the universe thickly charged
with these particles of matter.
The Production of the Precious Metals.
—For the current year, 1866, the aggregate
gold and silver product of the United States
is estimated from $82,000,000 to 106,000,000.
The details of the largest estimates are, that
California will produce $25,000,000, Montana
$18,000,000, Nevada $16,000,000, Idaho $l7,
000,000, Oregon $8,000,000, Colorado $l7,

High Schools and Academies. It presents a rare and
delightful collection of Music, consisting of Solos,
