Washington Citt. Julv S3, 1867.
Having paid a hamy visit to this city, I thought
ft few note (not Treasury) from the Capital
might be Interesting to your reador. Washing
ton has changed greatly In the last ton years,
. but more especially dutlng the last six, owing
to the great iuflux of Northern cnpltal and
enterprise; and the old residents, who always
had so great an antipathy to anything from the
North, now begin to ere theerror ot their way.and
are glad to welcoma that former much dreaded
class, the "rankees." Every step you take, one
can see the spirit of proais and Improvement
at work, not only at the hni.ds of private Indi
viduals, but the General Government also.
Whole block of handsome residences are going
up, streeis and avenues beirg pavo.l, the public
parks being beautified; la fac, biic era itrmi
to hare dawnrd on this former almost benighted
city, and Instead of being, as In times cone by, a
reproach to the nation, it now bids fair to keep
pace with its progressive sisters of the North,
Ihe additional surroundings of the Capitol, as
ordered at the last session of Congress, are now
rapidly being pushed forward. The Extension
of the Treasury Building is in an advanced
stage of pi ogress. Homes for new railroad con
nections are being surveyed, and contracts
given out. The erection of the mammoth Re
publican Hotel will shortly be commenced, and
everything points to a bright future for our
National Capital.
CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP
OF FLORIDA.
Interesting Service at Trinity Church.
The consecration of the Rev. John Freeman
Toung as Bishop of Florida took place yester
day at Trinity Cnurch. The service, which
began at eleven A. M. and continued until three
F, M was participated in by over one hundred
members of the Episcopal clergy, besides six
bishops, viz.: Bishops Hopkins of Vermont,
Odenheimer of New Jer9ev, Wilmerof Louisi
ana, Gregg of Texas, Cummings of Kentucky,
and Bishop Payne, Ubsiooary B.shop of Africa.
Tbe presiume bisbop was Bishop Hopkins, and
the candidate was presente I by Bishops OJen
heimer and Gr g.'. The sermon was delivered
by Bishop Winner, ana was a tuost able defense
of the Book of Common Prayer and of
the ca'.holio and progressive spirit of the
Episcopal Churcb. The Book of Common
Prayer was the offspring of tne wisdom ot
apes, and whs only adopted alter having
been reviewed sixti-n times and alter every
thing upon which the Cnurch bad not set her
seal had been excluded. The book was con
sidered in its capacity to repel external assaults,
to harmonize iuternal strile, and to develope
the spirit of inward holmes at.d lt'e as against
a eahi ritualism. Wub her open Bible and her
ancient creeds, and combining doctrines and
dunes, the Church reiu-ej to bind her members
to any particular sysiem ot theology. The
Church was catholic and progressive, although
conservative, and the Book ot Common Prayer
could never embody the religion of anv one age
or body of men. It was not presented as a
complete system oi divinity, but as the best sys
tem consistent with tie religions unity of all
men. More might have made it uncatholic, and
less might have rendered it unsound. The dan
ger of ritualism was in obscuring the sense of
God's presence by symbolism, but form was
essential to universality among diverse lands
and to continuance during dirlcrent times.
In addressing the candidate the Bishop
alluded to the fiict that a diocese in the extreme
horth, and one in the extreme south, had each
recently knocked at the gates of Trinity Church
for a Bishop.
Besides the clergy In surplices, some thirty
others were in attendance, and ihe combined
choirs of Trinity Pa-isi and of St. John's and
Trinity Chapels "participated. In the procession
pt clergy, observed on account of color, was
the rector of a colored church in Mulberry
street.
Bishop Young was born in the State of Maine
in the year 1820, receiving his colleeiate
course in Connecticut, and his theological in
Virginia. His ordination as deacon was in
1845, and as priest in 1840, in St. John's Church,
Tallahassee, which is to be the Bishop's cathe
dral. His first parish was at Jacksonville,
Florida; thenoe, as a missionary, he was called
successively to Texas, Mississippi, and Loui
siana. In June, 1855, he was called to Trinity
Church, New York. Duiiog his missionary
career he oreanized a number of parishes and
erected several churches. He was elacted
Bishop in May last, and will depart at once for
his diocese.
The beautiful and Impressive consecration ser
vice, with its procession of choristers and clergy
and w bite robes, and the solemn imposition of
hands, was witnessed by hundreds, who can
appreciate, In the language of Macaulay's tribute
to the Church, "her liberal articles, her decent
ceremonies, and her noble and pathetic liturgy."

TUE FIRE IN BUFFALO.
Less $100,O0O-LIt of Insurances.
The Buffalo Courier of Wednesday gives the
following particulars of the fire in that city:
"Between three and four o'clock yesterday
morning Patrolmen Sheppcrd and McKay dis
covered a fire issuing from the second story of
No. 196 Maine street, occupied by Messrs. Clay,
Cossack & Co., lithographers and engravers,
immediately over the large dry goods establish
ment of Messrs. C. W. A E. Partridge & Co.
The alarm was immediately given, and the Fire
Department was promptly on the ground. The
fire was, without doubt, me work of an incen
diary, and, from the observation of Hose 6 and
Hook and Ladder Company No. 2, who were
first on the ground, was kindled under the stair
way in the second story, near Clay, Cossack &
Co.'i establishment, and must, from the pro
gress it had made, been under way some time
before discovered.
"No. 195 was occupied on the main floor as a
store for millinery goods, by Mr. Riley; the
second story was used as a photograph gallery
by Mr. William Knight; and tne upper stories
were nsed by Mix & Rhodes, silver-platers;
Davis & Co., paper collar manufacturers; and C.
Day, band-box maker. No. 196 was occupied by
Messrs. C. W. and E. Pardridge, dry goods mer
chants, and Clay, Cossacic & Co., lithographers
and engravers. No. 198 was occupied on the
ilrst floor by Mr. 8. Bergman, clothing store,
etc; on the second floor by Mr. Scawartz,
ieweller; and the third floor by Mrs. Anna But
ler as a photocraph gallery.
"The greatest damage sustained was In No.
19C. where the rite originated. As the ratters in
the second story burned, the heavy weight of
ine bwubb, eic, in Ulay, CossacK a uo.'s esta
blishment caused them to give way, and low
ered all the contents of that storv on the main
floor. The building is a complete wreck. The
upper floors ot the adjoining buildings were
considerably damaged by fire, and all more or
lees lnlured by the Hood of water which deluged
the building. Tne loss is estimated at near
SlOO.oou ...
Messrs. Fartrtdse'i loss Is KKmiii.il fmm
$40,000 to $50,000. They are insured lor $00,000.
"Mr. Knight's stock was nearly ruined by

Thb Minti Catastrophb Drowkiwo of thr
Kbv. Houkht O. Chasr and a Partt of
lllll, ADELl'HIANH. Ill OUT DO W COlUID. IIH yeS-
terilHy we gave Ibe particulars of the u u for tun
ale disaster off Mount Deseret, Maine, by which
the Kev. Robert G. Cliase, Mrs. Uhase, Miss
Mary K. Jionpt, Miss Mary K. Tazewell, and
Mr. G. HnoDon, of this city, in company wilt
several of their Eastern frtunds, encountered
an untimely dentil. This sad aflnlr has caused
great distress In the northwestern section of
H e oily, where all of ibe victims were well
known and regarded with the most kindly
feellnei.
The Itev. Mr. Chase was a native of ITopkln
fion, a town about flCteon miles distaut from
louoord, New Hampshire. At the time of his
death he was but Ihirly-two years of axe. Hav
ing studied lor the Kplsoopal ministry at St.
Mnry's College, Burlington, N.- J., under the
Immediate lnslruoilou of the late Bishop
lHiane, tie commenced his Inbors at Freehold,
N. J., where he remained until he was called to
the pulpit of bt Matthias' Protestant Epis
copal Churcb, on .Nineteenth, street, above
Wallace, iu this city. At the time Mr. C'haso
became pastor of the church, the congregation
were worshipping In a hall near the site of the
present building. Through his earnest devo
tion to the cause be bad espoused, and hts
popularity as a preacher and a Christian
gentleman, means were raised by which a neit
chapel was erected at the rear end ol the lot on
the corner of Nineteenth and Wallace streets.
The church prospered greatly under his
ministry, and lms already raised 175,000 towards
the erection of a larger building on the front
portion of the ground owned by it. It has
been but a few days since the congregation
farted with their beloved pastor, tue
latter Intending to make a brief tour
through the Mew Knlaud States, by way of
summer recreation, lie was accompanied by
bis wile and daughter. The latter, who is but
eight years of age, had been left at the hotel at
Mount Deseret, and thus escaped the sad fate
whli'h awaited her parents. Mrs. Chase, who
was with her husband on the sailing parly, and
went down with the rest, was a lady of great
amiability of character and unusual mental
endowments and culture. Bhe was a daughter
of the late Joseph It. Dobbins, of Mount liolly.
N. J., and was the senior of tier husband oy
about one year.
Miss Mary K. Honpt, another of tbe victims,
was a sister of Ueneral Houpt, a distinguished
engineer of this city, for a long time oonnented
ofllclally with tbe Pennsylvania Railroad. Bhe
was a member of Bt. Philip's Protestant Epis
copal Churcb, and highly esteemed by all her
acquaintances for many sterling traits of char
acter. One of the first teachers in the Girls'
High and Normal School, when that institution
wus reorganized on its present basis, she was
placed in charge of the department of Men
tal and Moral Philosophy. As a teacher
she bad few eqnals and no superiors, and In the
latter branch exemplttled her teachings by ber
daily walk and conversation. In October last,
she retired lroni the position which she had
filled with so much credit for so long a period,
and In connection with Miss Ta.ewell esta
blished a seminary for young ladlea at No. 6
South Merrick street. West Penn Square. This
institution bid fair to become one or the host
and most popular of Its character in the city.
Miss Mary E. Tazewell, another of the victims,
was closely related to the Goodmans, one of the
oldest and best-known families in tbe city. She
was one of tbe first pupils of the Girls' High and
Normal School, In which she aoqnlred such dis
tinction as a scholar that. Immediately on her
grad uatlon.she waselected teacher of history and
geography. She wassubsequeotly translerred to
me department or xsaturai science, and re
mained in the school until last October, on con
stant duty, except during a period of two years,
when she was obliged by ill-health to lay aside
ner labors, sne excelled as a teacher or the
branches of study in her department. After
her resignation from the High School, she be.
came associated with Miss Houpt in the West
Penn Square Seminary for Young Ladles.
Most of tbe relatives of the victims of the
disaster are now out of tbe city, but they have
been notified or tbe sad occurrence, and will
proceed to the East at once.
House Robberies. The dwelling of John
St lit, at No. 911 N. Sixth street, was entered last
night by means of nippers, and a gold watch
and $100 in money stolen. If our citizens would
see to It that their doors were bolted, this com
mon and stealthy manner or robbing would oe
avoided.
Last evening a banket of silver-ware was
taken from the table In the residence of Mr.
George Dickson, No. 1127 Girard avenue. The
servants had Just cleared tbe table, and stepped
out, when some person stepped in through a
rear door, and took the Articles. Deteetive
Levy this morning recovered the goods, and
arrested an old beggar woman for the theft.
Back gates and doors should not be left free of
access to vagrants and all manner of wandering
persons continually.
Drowned. John Logan was drowned this
morning in the Schuylkill, near Market street
wnarr.
He was last seen in a tavern at Twenty-third
and Market streets, between 8 and 9 o'clock
last evening, playing dominoes. When round
In tbe river two pocket-books were noon the
body, one containing a check of $100, and tbe
other some bills. His watch was gone. The
race was somewnai oruisea, resulting probably
from drifting against the wharf. Logan kept a
tavern at Twenty-third and Walnut streets,
where he resided, and was about fifty years of
age.
The Mercantile Register and Pennsylvania
Ckntrai. Railroad Advertiser, The man
agement of this valuable advertising paper,
which is circulated gratuitously to all the pas
sengers travelling on the Pennsylvania nan
road, lias been transferred to Mr. Jobn Hasson,
w no is wen Known to tne business community
as havlDg large newspaper experience. C. B,

moved to No. 109 South Third street.
Capb Mat. The American House, which
has always been a favorite with the frequenters
ot cape island, as we perceive by an advertise
ment in another column, Is still under the
management of that popular host, Mr. Josoph
E. Hughes, who was for many years connected
with the Ocean House. The American Is a very
fine house, and the rates of board are not ex
travagant. A Needed Renovation Instituted. Yester
day afternoon tbe work of cleaning up the offices
occupied by tbe Mayor and his clerks was com
menced, and this morning tbe rooms present a
scene common to house-cleaning times, of dis
order, confuHlon, and dust. This work of reno
vation was needed, Judging from the layer of
dust visible about the premises.
Death op Mrs. Thomas Bcllt. This esti
mable lady, tbe wife of one of Philadelphia's
distinguished portrait painters, died yesterday
about 5 40 A. M. She had been ill for some
weeks, but sutiered a relapse, and tbe conse
quence was fatal. She died In the presence of
her son and daughter, with her grandchildren
around her.
Larcenv op Clothing. Lucilla Raymond
resided with another woman, from whom she
stole about J05 worth of clothing, and then left
for Camden. Yesterday she returned, was re
cognized at Fourth and Market streeis, arrested,
and held by Alderman Uodbou in deiaultof
8800 ball to answer.
Demolishing the Fixtures op a Rone-Yard,
in Richmond street, below Wheat Sheaf lane,
and appropriating the same, were tbe charges
whereon Henry lirenner, William Bonn, Philip
Keller, Lewis Bouff. and William Overhouser
were arrested. Alderman binex held each In
$500 ball to answer. -
Fob Atlantic Citt. Those who intend
Visiting this sea-side resort should bear In
mind that the 2 o'clock train to-morrow after
noon, on the Camden and Atlantic Kallroad,
having Vine street ferry, reaches that place
within two hours.
Typographical Error. In a police Hem
yesterday the name of a party arrested was
given once as Charles HunUberger and again
as HuntKinger, The former is the true patro
nymic of the person In duress, and not the
ltter'
Truants. Five boys were arrested for
bathing In the Schuylkill within the city limits.
They were truants from Girard College. The
police conducted them back to their noholastlo
quartern.

The Riverside iNSTmrrie. As soon as the
necessary number or shares In aid of the River
side Institute are disposed of, the distribution
of the three hundred thousand dollars' worth
of presents to be awarded to the stockholders
will take place Tbe distribution was formerly
announoed for September 25, but should the
requisite number of shares be disposed of before
that time, as it Is now thought will be the ease,
the distribution will, of course, eome off sooner.
Each stockholder not only reoolves a fine steel
plate engraving at tbe time of purchasing his
stock, and which Is worth at retail fifty per oent.
more than be actually pays, but is also guaran
teed some present at the grand distribution.
Tbe plan Is not only a most liberal one, whereby
each Individual who Invests receives more than
what he could purchase with the same amount
of money at retail, but Is also one which has for
lis object the endowment of a home for tbe or

tbe country. All are wanted to call or send Tor

Verdict of ths Faculty Stimulants Ik
dispensable; as Mkdicinks. The most distin
guished physicians In the United States have
recently been placed on tbe witness stand, and
have, with one voice, declared that pure stimu
lants are valuable medicinal agents. This de
cision of the faoulty refers especially to medi
cated stimulants, of which the purest and the
best at present known is Uostkttbr's Sto
mach Bitters. Its basis Is the aloobollo prin
ciple of the finest rye grown in the United
States, and Its herbal Ingredients oomprlse the
extracts of a large number of plants, barks,
and roots produced In various parts of the
world, and all noted, in the countries to which
they are indigenous, for their powerful sana
tive properties. As an lnvlgorant and tonic,
the value of the Bitters can scaroely be over
rated. Hence its extraordinary effect in fever
and ague, and intermlttents and remittents of
every type. Its antlblllous properties are mar
vellous. Persons of bilious habit, by taking
a small quantity ouce or twice a day, may com
pletely change their constitutional tendency
to liver disease, and escape all the unpleasant
consequences which arise either from the un
due sensitiveness or the unnatural torpidity o
the biliary organ. Chronic constipation is eradi
cated thoroughly, and In a very short space of
time, by small doses of Ibis wholesome regu
lator, taken night and morning; and for all the
disorders which are superinduced by exhala
tions from decomposing vegetable and animal
matter in tbe Btreets of cities, or tbe miasma of
Bwampy districts; it is, when taken as a pro
tective and preventive medicine, the most
reliable of all safeguards.
Whene'er I takb my walks abroad, how
many poor, miserable i Dyspeptic people I see.
who would be healthy, and rosy, and happy if
they took Plantation Bitters, that paragon of
preparations for giving tone to the stomach,
energy to the torpid liver, a Joy to the nervous
system, and strength to the muscles. It Is an
admirable regenerator of nature's wasted or
neglected functional powers In either man or
woman. . It gently excites and pleasantly
soothes. With a bottle thereof, every man may
be his own physician.

WisuiNOTOK. July 26.
The President aorl the Military Com
menders to Confer ToKctbtr,
Itbns bceD widely published that the PresL
dent had invited the five Military Commanders
to come to this city and confer with him on the
subject of a uniform administration of their de
partmputs. I have it on authority that such a
step has not been taken yet, thouph undoubtedly
contemplated by the Presi tent. The propriety
of inviting the Military Commanders to Wash
ington has been talked over In Cabinet meet
ings, and will probably be agreed upon to-day.
The President is actions to have the laws
faithfully administered in the South, but in such
a way as to make them hear with as little harsh
ness ss possible on tbe people. He wishes to
meet the Military Commandots face to face, and
by an interchange of views decide upon the best
line of policy to be pursued. More, it Is be
lieved, would be effected by a conference of this
character in an hour's conversation with tne
commanders, than by volumes of correspon
dence. General Mende has been deitrnated to succeed
General Hheridaa when the President gets ready
to move in the matter.
Mr. Ottenbourcr to Represent the United
Slates la Mexico.
The statement that Mr. Plumb, Campbell's
Secretary of Legation, would be eutrusted with
the duties of Charge d'Affaires for the United
States Government to the Mexicau capital,
appears to be erroneous. Mr. Ottenbourg, Con
sul at the City of Mexico, will bo clothed with
limited powers to represent the United States
until such time as a regular minister maybe
appointed.
No Proclamation Against Filibustering.
President Johnson sees no necessity, for the
present, at all events, to issue a proclaaiation
asainst fllibusteilnz. Siiould necessity arie he
will take prompt steps tor the enforcement of

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
Concerning
Confiscated Church Pro
petty.
Benito Juarez, Constitutional President of the
United Mexican States, to the inhabitants
inereoi:
Know ye. that in the use of the amole nowers
with which I am invested, I have deemed well to
decree the following:
Article 1. The so-called decree of February
26, last past, as well as tho regulations there
under made on tne 6th or March lolloping by
the Emperor of Mexico, being null and of no
validity, as are likewise all his other acts, owing
to want 01 legitimate autnonty, so tne revision
referred to in said so-called decree and regula
tions, as well as the dispositions therein made
and provided, are null and of no avail.
Article 2. And the operations of disamortise'
ment BDd redemption ot nationalized property
performed in accordance with tne laws govern
ing said matter, or eventually approved by tho
Federal Government, even though affected by
Buy irregularity, nave oeen ana ao remain per
fect and irrevocably valid as far as the rights ot
the public treasury are concerned; and the only
questions that remain pending are such as relate
to the priority of right between Individual par
ties, and which must be settled before the tribu
nals in accordance witit said laws.
Article 3. Those who were elected by virtue
of the so-called decree of February 26 and its
complementary regulations of March 9, from
the property which they ha l legally acquired
in nationalized estates, have the right to exact
restitution of all the oroflts derived from said
pioperty, as well as damages for the wrongs and
losses they have suffered in consequence from
the parties detaining said property; and these
latter are bound to resiitution and indemniaca
tlon out of their own goods wherever found.
Article 4. Property nationalized that ha not
legally passed, under private control, owing to
secretion or any other cause, may be denounced
in accordance with the existing laws. Informers
in whose favor such property shall he accord
ingly adjudged hape the rieht to demund from
the parties detainine it, under claim of haviug
held It by adjudication or private or public sale
under the so-called dectee of February 20 and
its regulations, the delivery of the profits that
tbey bhall have received, as well rs the amount
of the deterioration it may have suffered while
in their possession.
Article 6. The pecuniary responsibility of
those functionaries of the Mexican empire who
h.vl anything whatever to do with the execu
tion of tbe so-called decree of February 26 and
its regulations. Is likewise liable for the indem
nifications mentioned in the preceding articles,
and tbi liability shall affect such of their goods
ac, from any cause whatever, may happen to
be comprised in the confiscations to which such
functionaries are subject according to the law
of August 16. 1H63.
To those efforts I owe the printing, publica
tion, and circulation of this decree andits due
observance.
Given at Chihuahua, May 11, 18G5. ' ',

tice, Fomento and Public Instruction, in

Ceavino Cuba. The New York Herald of thia
morning speaks thus significantly of the West
India revolts:
"From our correspondence It is observabla
that there is a general revolutionary movement
in tbe Spanish West India islands, which,
sooner or later, must break out in open revolt
atratnut the rule ot Spain. Cuba, now almost in
telegrauhie contact with ns, and. day after day
trathering liberal inspiration Irom our progress,
is rapidly urging onward to a new condition of
things suited to her geographical position and
her immense natural resources. The iron hand
of Spam is. however, still upon her. The
Spanish budget of 1866-67 showed the enormous
expenditure of $132,809,680, and the greater
portion ot this is wrung out of the few island
colonies that remain to the mother country.
Cuba cannot be held down much longer; for in
tolerance, narrow statesmanship, and colonial
corruption will produce its fruit, despite all
effort to uproot it.
"Porto Rico, it appears, is more inclined to
take the lead in a revolutionary movement than
Cuba; she has a population of seven hundred
thousand souls, of which but thirty-six thou
sand are slaves. The people are, apparently,
through a greater liberal sentiment, better
fitted than their neighbors for a revolutionary
blow in the direction ot independence. During
a recent revolt on the island tbe people shoiitad,
"Viva el General Prim!' 'Viva la Republics 1
We trace in this a eurlous plotting which must
have reached the West Indies from old Spam.
General Prim, it is known, is stirring up revo
lution in tbe latter country, backed, it is sup
posed, by France. The tevolt of the colonies at
this moment would go far to wards making Gene
ral Prim's movement a success.
"We look with interest upon the discontent
existing in Cuba and Porto Kico; for the time 1
close at baud when they must shake off their
Old World tetters and join in the progressive
movement of civilization on this side of the
Atlantic."
