Moderator, Rev. H. McVey, propounded the
constitutional questions. The c/u of Circle-
Mr have recently repaired their edifice at eon
i-iderable expense, and they have a very neat and
pleasant house of worship. The meeting of
Presbytery was very pleasant and all the members
manifested a deep and earnest interest in the
work of building up the cause of Christ. N.
Pr esbyt , ry of Chicago.—The stated meeting of
the Presbytery of Chicago occurred Sept. 14th
and 15th at Hyde Park, 111. Thirteen of
the nineteen churches were represented. Rev.
Albert G. Beebe was elected Moderator, and
Rev. 0. A. Kingsbury,. temporary Clerk. A
prominent and interesting feature of the meet
ing was the examination of Mr. H. D. Jenkins,
a graduate of Union Seminary, and late member
of the Fourth N. Y. Presbytery. Mr.: Jenkins is
to be ordained and installed , over the-Central
Church, Joliet., on the 29th inst. The Fourth
N. Y. will have two of its former licentiates—
Bros. Kingsbury and Jenkins—working side by
side upon the western wall of our Zion. We.
also, welcome to our Presbytery Rev. G. W.
.ilkckie of the Presbytery of Watertown, and .
Rev. J. S. McConnell of the U. P. Presbytery of
Chicago—the latter assenting to the constitu
tional questions. Some attention was given to
the beneficent causes of the Church. In accor
dance with the recommendation of the Assembly,
Presbyterial Committees on Church Erection
and on Education were or.anized. The report
of the Commissioners to the Assemblyßevs.
Dr. B. W. Patterson and Arthur Swazey—Was
listened to with marked attention. The Over
ture on Re-union was not officially presented,
(the Stated Clerk having overlooked it among
the papers which had accumulated during an ab •
sence) and the final action was deferred until the
annual meeting. D. S. JontrsoN, Stated Clerk.

Sept. Bth. The followin ,, is reported as the ac
tion taken on Union : "The 13318 , 8 of Union sub
mitted to the :Presbyteries by the last General
Assembly, was brought up for discussion and final
action. A motion to adopt it was lost—none
voting for it, and three or four voting against. A
motion to reconsider was lost. Resolutions were
offered by Dr. D. M. Maclise, stating that although
not willing to accept the proposed basis, yet that
Presbytery was willihg to enter into the Union
on the basis of the Holy Scriptures, the Confe4.
fession of Faith, the Catechism; Larger and
Shorter of the Westminster Assembly of Divines,
the Book of Discipline and Form of Church Gov
ernment."
After discussion, a motion was made to lay the
resolutions on the table, which was carried by a
vote of 18 to 9—four ministers and five elders
voting in the negative.
Religious World Abroad.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Old Greyfriars Church Case (Edinbargh),
has been settled so far as the Town Council' is con
cerned, by an adjournment till September •15th, by
which time the presentation passes into the hands
of the Presbytery. The members of the Town
Council who do not belong to the Established
church (a majority of the whole) have incurred no
little odium by their attempt to force Dr. Gloag upon
an unwilling congregation, and public opinion is so
aroused that no other clergyman of the Establish
ment will venture to take, at the hands of the Pres
bytery, the place to which the people have nomin
ated Mr. Wallace. Though much opposed to this
gentleman, on account of his .Broad-Churchism,
that body will have no alternative, but to accept
him.
On the other hand, it is 'urged against 'the drey-.
friars' people, that their ritualistic tendencies are
among the least. of their sins. Though among the
very richest of the Establishment congregations,
they have done but little for the general "Causes"
of the Church, and next to nothing to benefit their
immediate neighbors. They have turned the most
iiistorc
church of the land into a mere, lounging
place for idlers in the vineyard, alienating the hearts
of the common people by their novelties. Their li
berality as to doctrines and Church methods has
not been accompanied by any proportionate liberal
ity as to things which they have moreright to make
free with, viz.: their time and money.
A. Mortara Case. with Variations.—A writ of
Habeas Corpus was recently sued out in the Connor
Q uee n's Bench, at Cardiff, Wales, by whiCh Rev.
N. Thomas. Baptist minister, was required to bring
into Court Miss Esther Lyons, daughter of Mr. B.
Lyons, a wealthy Jew of that town. 'Miss Lyons,
it seems, is a convert to Christianity, who placed
herself under,the care of Me Thomas, and was by
him sent 'to a hoarding-school in Cardiff., After
some legal bickering, it was decided that being over
sixteen years of age, she had a right, to leave her
parents if she chose, and that 'Mr. Thomas could
not be compelled to produce the girl. The Christian
Judge; however, not only insulted Mr. Thomas by
imputations on his veracity, but pointed out to the
Jewish father how he might obtain control of -his
child, by making her a ward in chancery.
Irish Items.—The great Anglican "Church Con-
Sress" is to be held in Dublin this year, beginning
eptember 29.—The Weekly Review says: " In Ire
land, we observe that the Presbyterians of Ulster
have , become , thoroughly alive to the nece2sitv of
having their interests -represented in ParliaMent,
which has not been the case hitherto. They feel
that they have been overborne by the daniinant
Church. In Belfast, Mr. 11I'Clure i brother of the
esteemed Presbyterian minister of that city, has
come forward' in , the Liberal interest; and in New
ry, Mr. Kirk, a Presbyterian elder of influence, has
agreed to stand, in the Bailie interest; in London
derry, we also observe Oat Mr. _Dowse, QO, has
taken the field in the Litieral cause, and, in a vigor

of placing the Preshytertans,'Methodists, and Ncin.

vue des Deux lifondes i —tlisensses Pius IXth's latest
move from the political point of view: It beginS by
expressing astonishment at what it'eallAitlie 'mean
dour " or the '',placid serenity"-
TflE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 1 1868.
" These old men of the Vatican regard themselves
as placed above all events; they dispose of time ac
cording to their own pleasure, and fix the meeting
of the council at the end of 1869, without inquiring
what will be the state of Europe, or their own situa
tion, in a year and a-half? How many things may
happen before that period shall arrive I " Pius IX,
pretends to pursue the path opened by the Council
of Trent in the sixteenth century; nevertheless he
adopts a method entirely distinct from that of the
Roman pontiffs of old. This Pope does not summon
the ambassadors or delegates of the sovereigns to
his council;• he demands for the [Romishj Church
absolute independence. He himself; with his cardi
nals and bishops, will decide all posible questions,
without inquiring, even in the most indirect man
ner, whether the heads of the civil authority are in
agreement with himself. But in this conduct we
necessarily' realise the separation of the Church
from the State, which Is the greatest of the pro
blems of modern times. Is this, then, really the•
desire of Pius IX. and of his .clergy ? Will not the
sittings of this council also produce a violent com
motion in Italy? Will not they prove a stimulus
to arouse all the passiouS of the people? And if : the.
Italians, in a moment of crisis or indignation,
should again take up arms, what will become of the
Pontifical See? What will be the attitude of the
French clergy in such an assembly? It is. ery pro
bable that pretensions the most absolute will there
obtain the majority. But, in that event, separation
between the ecelesiastical spirit and the lay
spirit will become yetmore complete. There
Will be a Violent conflict between the civil
authority and clerical despotism. Has the itti
man . Pontiff seriously considered these possi
ble results? Is he prepared to give the signal
of a terrible revolution? Lastly, will our soldiers
who compose the garrisdn of Rome be called upon
to mount guard around this council, which shall
declare that the independence of crowns .is 'a fatal
doctrine? And whilst Austria is entering on a more
liberal - peth,,will France be condemned, by the most
singular fatality; to protect ati assembly which Shall
fulminate anathemas against all the 'idea's and all
the laws of the modern world? .We shall, in that
case, be the sentinels of a cpi:no I which' will con
dernn everything which has consatuted the strength
and the greatness of our country!
So far
. the ii!..,tme. It is raid , however, that
the Pope will invite not only . he elinperors-of France
and Austria, but that Victor Emmanuel will be invit
ed as ."King":without specifying his kingdom, while
the Ex-King of Naples will be asked also, so that
the King of Italy (as Victor claims to be) will only
be invited in form. The doctrine of the ascension
of the human body of the Virgin into heaven will
most probably be forced through the council, as will
that of the infallibility of the Pope on matters of
faith.

necessity of a day of civil (if not religious) rest. In
four years, much , has been done to bring The subject
home to all branches of industry, not`only in Gene

Germany, in spite of the assaults of sceptics -who
see in this civil movement, an effort to restore , " the
waning influence" of Christianity. Those who come

where the Sabbath is natjstrietly kept, violation§of
it are kept out of sight where they once were par
ailed; and the worst disregard of it ie on the part
of French aliens. The Federal and Cantonal Gov
ernments have formally approved of the movement,
and enjoin the. remission of all work in , the public
service on the Day of Re 4, as far as po t glible. We
observe that in Germany, forty-two of the tiffy-seven

and the interference of the Bishops, and the Pope in
the 'natter. Opposition to the Pope and ,to:the
Romig; prieSthood is almost universal' Bibles and
other Protestant book's are free& circulated and read
everywhere; and the priests. are powerless to pre
vent it, and it seems as if Popery was almost dead
already, even in .Austria.'! Even the New York
Ribke for August let, says, edito.ially : "We are
sorry for poor Austria., She:has ceased to be a Catho.:
tic nation, and the wicked.are ip ecstasies over her.

Greatly to the chagrin of the Romish hierarchy,
recent concessions made by thellinperor have open
ed a way for the spread of the Protestant faith in
Bohemia, and as next year will be the fifth .cente:
nary of the Bohemian martyr, John.Thiss,. it has
been resolved to raise a fund n. t 9 establish in his own
city of Prague'a college - for the training of Gospel
ministers. The religious liberty so.• unexpectedly
granted is being taken advantage of. In . Prague,
where the Bible was once burned, there. is now an
annual average sale ot•13,000 copies. The people
are educating their children in their own faith, and
favorable opportunities are being presented for the
preaching and teaching of the pure Gospel of
Christ:
Langraf 'Vim Fur t iiberg, Primate Archbishop
of U mutz, in Austria, in his opposition to the 1 ew
laws has issued a circular, in which he declares that
all who contract marriages withont the assistance
of the. Church are to be regarded as .being ia concu
bina;,e, and that no burial is to be extended in a
consecrated ground to a person not entitled to Chris
tian burial: '
The folio qing is an'abkract of the lay which
g !sr tutees religious liberty to all suljecis: "NohOdy
can be compelled to participate in any religious cere
amity ; uor can anybody be t compelled to rest on the
holidays of a religious hody not his own, provided
be does not, by his condnet„ disturb the divine ser
vice, nor violate the rest e t dtie to any Church or
denomination engaged in the exercise of a religious
rite or custom. ;All Chtireliau and denominations
have equal claim to mutual respect, and have a
right to appeal to the State for protection ; lastly,
the employment of force of fraud , for conversionist
purposes is prohibited."
MISSIONARY
1 he Pilgrim Mission Establishment at Chris-
Nina; near 13asle,'Iminded by the late C. F. Bpittler,
has trained 'and sent out upwards of 200 missiona
ries, who are laboring in Palestine, Egypt and the
U. S. The inmates are trained in a knowledge of
various trades, and are not debarred when necessary,.
from supporting themselves in, the missionary work
by secular avocations mills, schools, trading facto
ries, &c. The Establishment itself e:tigagekin mer
cantile ventures for the support of its missionaries.
Twenty missionaries have' been sent (bah within a
year, and twenty more are in course of preparation,
four of whom are blacks and are meant to , labor in
.our Southern States and in Africa.; Their!schools in .
Palestine—in Egypt, have been especially success
ful, the latter so much so as to excite the hostility
'of the Coptic patriarch, who ordered the Children to
throw their bibles into the river, but forbade them
the sin•ot burning them. In our own North-West
ern States they have labored with .much' usefulness
among their German brethren, tint ,. in Texas. .and
the South generally, they complithi"Of the interfer
en6e of the AineriCan Churches. In'Soilth America
they have seven, laborers, three of whoin are 'slip-
ported from England. Nearly all their missiona
ries are self-supporting.
Madagascar.—A. letter from the capital descri
bing the death and funeral of the late Queen, says,
that neither at the proclamation or the funeral was
there any idol present. The Queen, who, though a
heathen, knew something of Christianity, and grant
ed it full toleration, lost faithin her idols some time
before her death ; and when conscious that she was
about to die she called upon some Christian officers
who were in attendance, to pray to the true God.
Since her death the idol has been sent away, to the
annoyance and loss of its keepers, and the royal
household attends the ministry of the missionaries.
The government works have been etopped on the
Sabbath, and a foreign minister was refused an au
dience on that day. The churches are crowded to
excess in town and country, and the heathen seem
anxious to hear the joyful sound. One church bad
to "turn out" to make room for a congregation of
such, and while hundreds were gathered under the
windows of aticiiher: The Prime minister himself,
until recentlY, a bigoted heathen, is said to have
become a diligent student of the Bible, and the na

daily service in his house. .11is son and sister are

with great rapidity, the work is thoroughly done, and is pro
nounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-class
every respect, before it is accepted, and before any bonds can
is-tied upon it.
Rapidity and excellence of construction hare been secured by
complete division of labor, and by distributing the twenty thou
sand men employed along the line for long distances at once. I

grants the right of way, and all necessary timber and other mate
rials found along the line of its operations ; also 12,800 acres of

road; also United States Tbirty-year Bonds, amounting to from
8.16,000 to 248,000 per mite, according to the dfficalties to be sur
mounted on the various sections to be built, for which it takes a
second mortgage as security, and it is .expected that not only the
interest, but the principal amount may be paid in service rendered
by the Company in transporting troops, mails, itc.

The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty , years, arc for $1.,000 each,
and have coupims'attached, They bear annual interest, payable
on the first days of January and July . at e the Company's office in
the City-of New York, at the rate of six per cent. in gold. The
principal is payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, aod at
the preeent rate of gold, they pay a liberal income on their cost.
A very Important consideration in determining the value of

It Is well known that a long bond always commands a much
higher price than a short ono. , It is safe to assume that &Wag
the next: thirtylears, the rate of intertnt in the United States will
decline as it has done in Europe, and we have a right to expect
that such six per cent. securities as these will be held at as
high a iireMltitn 'MI these of ibis Government, which in 1857, were
bought in at "from 20 to 23 per &pt. above par. The export de

corporation, they are beyond the reach of political action.
The Company believe that these Bonds. at the present rate, are
the cheapest security in the market, and the right to advance the
