ANITIVEiiPART ME&TINO OF IHS M. 15.
, CniTRcn Extension Socikty. In spite of tho
in clemency of the woalher l ist eveuine, the
Union Church wn. filled wltn a flree amjjencc
ot ladles and gentlpnion. The occasion wasone
of much interest, nnd wag domemed to devise
luonMire for tiic pxtonntou of the interests of
the Church throuchout the country. At present
there are many Rocietie and churches calling
not loudly lor aid.
At 7 o'clock tho nieetinsr wat called to orJer,
with Major-Oeneral John W. Genry, Governor
fleet of the State, in the chair. Bishops Kloers
ley, Clark, and Janen were present. Eut lor
the Inclemency of the weatner, there would
hap been eight HlUop upon that platlorm.
The other five centlemen were in the city tor
the purpose, but age and indrinitics warn them
' to avoid exeosnie.
(lenoral Genry was personally Introduced to
the several Hiohops who were present, and also
to a number of ministers of the denomination.
A voluntary was idayed upon the onran by
Trofesjor Fischer, and at twenty minutes pat
seven o'elock General Geary wa3 accompanied
to the pulpit-platform by Bishop Clark and the
Kev. Dr. Newman.
The regular proceedings were opened with
a hymn, conirnenclnir, "From all that dwell
below the kies," which was ttven out by the Rev.
Dr. Newman, of New Orleans, and sanff by the
wholn conRrepcation.
The Kev. Dr. Newman then made a prayer to
the Throne of Grace, beseeching help and
strength lor the good work.
After the prajer General Geary rose and ad
dressed the meeting. He returned thanks lor
the honor accorded him in selecting him to pre
side, and then made a few remarks On the objects
of the meeting. The active condition and pro
press of the Church throughout the Uuitcd
States bad often excited hU admiration. He
admired the boldness and the activity of
its leading members, even extending their
pood work to the velrontier of civiliza
tion, and keeping progress with the tide of
Christianity, ever flowing onward to the re
motest parts of the land. He lelt it his duty to
say that his early relisrlous impressions were
made upon hia youthful mind within the Pres
byterian Church, and he was reared or brought
up in the religion of that denomiuationand
though there still lingers in his heart some of
his first love ot that Church, ybt he seems to be
drawn by some irresistible power to the Metho
flist organization.
In looking back over the Tour vears of disas
trous war In our land, and thinking of the gal
lant sacrifices made by at least one hundred
thousand members of the Methodist Church,
and in reflecting upon the bravery, the daring
and active spirit of patriotism ever exhibited by
them upon the battle-field or in the camps or
the hospitals, he could not appear betore the
meeting without saying that he had been an
ardent admirer of the MethoJist Church gene
rally. When we consider the small beginning
made one hundred years airo, from which has
grown the great Methodist Church, we can
hardly estimate its magnitude.
Ten years before the American Revolution
live persons assembled in New York; thev were
called "dissenters;" and now at the termina
. tion of the first century the whole land is oiled
. with worshipping members of the very church
thus started by the httle baud ol only five
individuals, until its numbers exceed two
millions. Here in this city, where freedom
was first proclaimed to the inhabitants, where
the Methodist Church has prosressed to im
mense importance, wo should fee! grati
fied to meet in this peaceful assemblage this
evening.
It is a Church of prayer; its course is onward
and upward; everywhere on the frontier its
watchtires are liehted. No matter where you go
in the mountain and the vales of the North
west, or where the streams pour down and waah
the golden sands of California there you will
hear the Methodist voice raised in prayer, aud
song, and exhortation, lie telt a veneration lor
' the Methodist Church, and all other churches
, organized for the good of mankind, and carry
ing into efifei t those great principles ol Chris
tianity for which Christ came into the world.
The Secretary of the Society, ttev. Dr. Monroe,
then read an abstract of the annual report. It
appears that there are filty-tive auxiliary socle-
. ties, extending throutru the whole United State.
Funds have bepn received fiom forty-nino con
ferences. Aid has been extended by the Society
to thirty churches In West Virginia; to fourteen
, in Kentucky, chiefly Eastern Kentucky ; to thirty-
. two in Missouri and Arkansas: eight in Kuu-as ;
two in Illinois; five in Nebraska; nine in East
Tennessee; tenjin Middle Tennessee; six in Michi
gan; three in Wisconsin; aud ightin Minnesota.
Those churches aided in West Virginia, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas are.
exclusively among loyal white people aud freed
men. As a rule, the freed men have required less
, amount of aid than most others.
Applications from many societies strnsgllng
in their poverty to erect houses of worship are
noiv belore the Society, and it needs all the help
that can be had to make it meet cases of most
prcssinff want. It has now grants to the amount
of $50,000 wnich must be paid in the course of a
lew succeeding months. Though contracted by
the prefsure ot the large financial operations of
this centenary year, yet the sum received places
it, in the amount of its annual income, at the
head of all the church extension societies of the
land.
Thomas S. Mason, Esq., the Treasurer, re
ported the past and present condition of the
treasury: Receipts during the year, $.r9,521.'i7;
expenditures during the same period, SSO.BGS'SW,
leaving a balance on band of $8979H.
Mr. D. 6. Moody, of Chicago, was introduced,
and made a very eloquent address. He gave his
experience in his traveb through the country.
He had heard parents Dray to God to save the
land from sin and deatruction. In some parte ot
the land religion seemed to be dead, He saw
churches in which tuere was no one who could
carry on devotional exercises. At one place he
' went into the couir-house square, aud, from the
novelty of the thing, drew crowds of craping
people there. They listened to Gospel preach
ing. The excitement increased, an mnny con
verts were made, and at the present time the
people in that once benighted section, the politi
cal contest being over, have set to work hi ritjht
good earnest, and think they will be able to
carry the country for Jesus.
The speaker said that he had received a tele
gram from Illinois that a conlerence is to be
held in one of the counties there, and it is in
sisted that we shall carry the Church thern.
This is what God wants iu all p.irts of the lauJ.
The speaker now read a call published in a
Western paper, that in Liviut'ston county, Illi
nois, the causa ot the Lord Jesus Christ is pro
gressing there. The sickle will be put in deep,
and we expect to reap a full harvest. He be
lieved the country w as going lor Jeus Christ.
The grogshops are all shut up; and in Spring
field the hon e of Lincoln, an organization bus
sprung up; and with hopeful prayer, we expect
a wave to sweep over the land as it did in 1&57.
We have beeu loynl to the country, now let us
be loyal to God-cries of Amenn)-as i we were
to our country. (Continued cries of "Amen.")
There is yet a great work to be done in the
West. We will have to exert ourselves to preach
the Gospel through the dark places. We should
imitate the blessed Saviour, who went among
needy and alllicted aud preached that all might
be saved. We should go into every sink of
iniauity, andtraise the prostrate and fallen, our
time on earth is short; let us improve it. A
f.oul saved will bj a powerful plea lor our-
SCA soldier, dying, suddenly exclaimed :-;'IIark!
-RAHtill! Thev are calling the roll of Heaven,
and lam going to answer." Then let us do all
that we can to save the souls of mankind, and
be ready to answer to our names when called
for the great roll of Heaven.
Mr. Moody was listened to with the most
rt attention. Alter he had concluded his
'Kuenfaddres8.be was tallowed by the Rev.
iihon Clarke, who commeuced by alludine to
fbe cond Son 'of the Society, and his grat.flca
tinn at the admirable progress it had mad dur
&he past year. Ho complimented the So
rlety and its olUcers on the good work they had
fcccompiid. , ' '
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 18GG.
He stated 1 ho obj. ctof the Association to be to
extend the influence ot the Churob. The Church
is true to the christian, nnd tbeC hritmn should
be tiue to the Church. Its power is tor the good
or mankind, and the wav to promote it Is to Ret
as the military of occupation do. They build
their forts and plant their cannon, and so, if we
denre to eflect anything, we must buil t our
cnuicne, to be ready lor occupation ns popu
lation extends or increases in those sections,
lie faid that we have work to do in the South,
although it is said bv some that th3 Church
tjouth may take care of itself. That will not
cio. There are loyal men in all parts of the
bonth, who need our care. There are nieu and
ministers there who need our help. The
speaker now drew graphic pictures incident to
the recent Rebellion, and finnlly concluded by
complimenting the Society, and urging Its mem
bers to go on w ith the good work nntil eburches
shall be planted in all parts of the country.
Alter bishop Clarke took his seat, R v. Mr.
Kymett, of the Iowa Conference, tollowed with
a tew remarks. He made special relerence to
the condition of the Church in the States lately
in rebellion, and said that it wa the intention
of the Society to make Tennessee a b.ise ot ope
rations to carry on their work of carrying out
the Interests of the Church throughout the length
and bieadih ol the South. Every member of
the Church has an interest in the Church. Thp
speaker compared the Methodist Church
throughout tue land with a grand array it had
Its main centre and its Various branches, whicn
consisted of missionary societies.Suuday Schools,
etc., till working tor the one grand object the
cpread ol Christianity; that the machinervof the
Church meant thatthdy mould capture the entire
world tor Christ. The force woulu have to be dis
tnbuted array-like in order to insure the success
deslied. If they could succeed in planting
tbetmelvcB firmly in the lately rebellious States,
tin re would be no luture disloyalty there. Other
speakers who had preceded him bad given such
a full description of the wants and trials of the
South, he would not descant further upon them.
He was of the opinion that the South was not
the only field for present operations. There was
a great work to be done In the Northwest. The
large and steady inelt ase cf the population in
that locality, the sA-aker said, warranted him
in tajlng that it wjja field from which great
benefits could be reaped. lie was coutideitj that
nt least $'20l()0u could be raised there for the
cause if tne work was properly pushed forward.
In closing, be entreated his hearers to use every
exertion to aid in the great and glorious project.
The address of the Kev. Mr. Kymett was fol
lowed by an eloquent address from Bishop Kuias
ley. His address was of an exceedingly interest
ing character. He said there should be no distinc
tion of color, or other distinction in preaching
the gospel. Ho heard a man say, some time
ago, that he believed that God poured out bless
ings quite as freely before they had any
churches as He does now, aud he did not thtiin
He could do any more it they erected buildings
lor worship all over the world. The speaker
said he did not differ at all with man, for he
considered that God always done good wherever
He found persons trying to override evil. But
he thought it a very poor argumeut to talk of
going back to the old plan of preaching out of
doors, when the Church was so lar advanced.
He concluded by referring to the false outcries
that are raised against the ministers of the Gos
pel who are trying to evangelize the South. At
the close of the address the Doxology was sung,
and the meeting dismissed with a benediction.

The Todacco Fraud. Id the case ot
Martiu Solomon and L. W. Holladav, tobacco
dealers, who were charged with defrauding the
Revenue Department by the use of boxes lor the
transportation ot suutl a second time, that hud
been but once inspected, there was a final hear
ing yesterday. No additional testimony was
submitted. Mr. Valentine, the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, addressed thu Commissioner a
foilows: Smcj the last meeting, the amount of
tax on the snuif which was being packed for
thipmeut has been paid, amounting to $032-15,
and the property seized nt Mr. Holladay's, ana
alao that at MesTs. Crossman & Solomon'p,
being libelled. It seems to me tnat the pur
poses of the law have been answered by thepay
ment of the tax and the confiscation of the pro
perty seized, which I understand will not bo
resisted by the counsel for the defendants. He
w ould, however, leave it to the judgment of the
Commissioner to say what should be done.
Mr. Sergeant, the Commissioner, said that
there w as no evidence of bad faith. He did not
believe that it there had been a design to de
fraud, the boxes would have been sent to Cam
den to be altered. In the absence of any evi
dence of bad faith, coupled with the fact that
the District Attorney did not press the case, he
buuuiii uiscnarge ine accusea.
Impoetant Revenue Decision. A firm
iu this city having tailed, and made au assign
ment to preferred creditors, the assignee re
fuses to pay the Government claim tor taxes,
although he has some $50,000 worth of property
in his possession, on the ground that the Gov
ernment clitim cannot supersede preferrel
cieditors. Collector Sloaimker submitted the
following proposition lor the decision of th"
Commissioner ot Internal Revenue: "Djes the
Government claim for taxes owing nnd due
before tail ure, as shown by the sworn return
presented to the Assessor, and returned by him
tor collection, supersede preferred creditors,
aud it not so, would tfie Collector be justifiable
in proceeding to distrain property in the huuas
ot the assignee?''
The following reply was received yetenlnv
from Deputy Commissioner Harlaud: "If the
tax against the firm alluded to was due at the
date of their assi-ument, there is a lieu upon
the property assigned in favor of the 'nited
Stales; the claim of the iovrrunieiit takes pre
cedence over all others, aud should be enforced
by distraint, If notessary."
Eepobt of xhe Northeun ITome. The
managers of the Northern Home presented yes
terday afternoon to City Councils their thirteenth

The report was rend at the anniversary', May S

of its managers, is the best represented charita
ble institution in the country. Its management

solicitors, M.J. Mitchcson aud J. J. Barclav
Esqs., are indetatiguble in their worksof cbaritv'
and have secured the aid of the Common wealth
for the institution by plain dint of persevering
demonstration. Every dollar given to the
Northern Home goes to feed and educate some
child who otherwise would have been kti to the
mercies of the open streets, or to the hovels of
the depraved and the vicious.

The Pay of the Fomce. Yesterday
afterneon a petition was preseuted to Ciiv
Councils, asking for an increase of pay oijthc
Police Department of Philadelphia. The peti
tion, which was referred to the Police Com
mittee, is in stibstancp as follows:
''The Lieutenants, Serjeants, and Privates of
the Police Department of the city of Philadel
phia ask of your bodies the passage of an ordi
nance to Increase their salaries to the following
amount?, vl,:Lii utenams, $1200; Sergeants,
$1100; and Privates $1000."
The petition sets forth three reasons for the
Increase: The high price ot living, the ex
pensive uniforms, ard tbe present inadequate
pay, which for several years past has been
lessened by the necessity of selling the w arrants
at a large.'discount.
Cowardly Ass aolt. Thomas Holland

on Mary O'Brien. The complainant testified that
defendant hnd a quarrel with her at No. 120
