The Reformed Protestant Church of America is a
ranch of the original Protectant Church ol Holland,
and its first establishment antedates that of any of
the other branches of the Presbyterian Church by
nearly a century. It was until within a few years
past known as "the Reformed Protestant Dutch
Church," to distinguished from the Reformed Church,
which ib of Swiss origin.
The present General Synod Is made up of ice dele
rates,; the largest representations being from the
ttate of New York and the northern part of New
Jersey, where the denomination, comprising within
it folds the greater number of the descendants of
the old Knickerbockers, is the strongest. Dally
aessi- ns, open to the public, will be held, and will
continue for a week or more. The synodical sermon
will be preached tills evening by the Rev. Elbert S.

At the last sess'on of the General synod, held at
Hudson. N. Y., in ,lune, istw, important action In
reference to a general union of all the evangelical
denominations in the Unit ed States was taken, and
the subject will, It is understood, be resumed at
the present session. The Synod of last year, by a
unanimous vote, adopted a circular, the preamble
of which set, forth that as the Constitution of the
Church confided to the General Synod tho duty of
maintaining a friendly correspondence with other
religious denomination's, anil as it was the convic
tion of the Synod that nieiisiires could be adopted
for unifying evangelical denominations in support
of the common doctrines of Christianity, ami as the
doctrlna.1 and governmental system of the Reformed
Church presented a basis far such measure, there
fore, htiohrtl. That this Synod hereby appoints a committee

Pnper that Defends the Whipping-post.!
Vrom tin H ilmiilifttiii I'viiitUt iviaL
Tlie Mitldlotown 'Jruivmpt In an elaborate defense
of the whipping-post and earnest protest against the
'sickly sentimentality, wnicn opposes mat institu
tion, says:
We have contended that the whipping-post is less
severe than confinement; consequently more humane -
ens barbarous. It is notorious that, tun puniKiiment. is
not commensurate with tne criniesagainstsooiety which
it is designed to check. Tne culprit lakes his Hogging,
and bountis away atittr it a- light as a feather, laughing or
whittling and dancing lot he goes, and seemingly caring
but little for the infliction."
Here js food for thought whipping Is not a pun
ishment "commensurate with the crimes it is tic-
signed to check." Then it fails to answer tho pur
pose. It doesn't check those crimes. The culprit
cares "but little for the infliction." Then why keep
up such an Infliction : lie hounds away, laughing,
whistling, dancing, -as light as a leather!" Why,
then, these culprits are only maiung a spore 01 us
ami our laws ami our s lerltls and our cat-o-nine-
lails. Is tins so'.' lurtlier, the lranHi-rtpt
says:
Veiy the whippim? 1 o-' if not severe enough that
tho character and dunu .'.a of the piiniahiuoiit, is not
tutlicieut to dolei the culprit, from the voiuiuissiuii of
crime, nnd that rogue cine very little for it."
Here It is again, w hipping is not severe enough ;
it does not prevent crime; rogues care very little for
it. Tins is sonictni!i'' 1 niiieiy new iroiu tne de
fenders of the system. They have always contended
that it whs the very thing to cure a tendency to
'rune; that it kei'c our community orderly and
Virtuous, which iiotliing else could do; aud that, it
prevented rogues Irobi coming into me Mate, inn

The Confederate Dead.
vWl Dr)aL k to The Kvtnmg Ttlctjraph.
Wasiiinoton, June 2 A movement was
darted iinionp; the Southerners rcHidinir here to
decorate the graves of tlie Confederate dead
buried at Arlington, the day to be set apart as
was done in the case of Union soldiers last
Saturday. Dr. Gamett, a leading Southern sym
pathizer during the Reltellion, is out in a card
this morning, stating that, after inquiry, lie is
satisfied that Bitch a demonstration would not be
permitted by tlie Govarument. Gamett says
that the interference of marines with persons
who attempted to decorate the Confederate
graves hist Saturday was fully countenanced by
both President (irant and Secretary Boric.
At the W hite House.
There was an unusually large crowd at the
White House to-day, composed of all sorts of
persons. They were drawn together by tho an
nouncement that tlie President would leave to
morrow for Annapolis, and shortly after for
West Point. Everybody seemed anxious to
have their little business with the Executive
fixed before his departure. Among those who
called was the Commander of the Grand Army
of the Republic, but the President sent word
that he was too busy to see him. During tho
greater part of the morning he was closeted
with Attorney-General Hoar.
.Spain anil the I'nlled Statrn.
It is ascertained in semi-ollieial circles that
the statement made by Secretary of Legation
Perry that war was imminent between the United
States nnd Spain in 18t3 is without foundation,
and also that Spain was co-operating with Napo
leon for the success of tho Confederacy. The
misfortune of the statement is that at the date
mentioned the downfall of the Confederacy was
conceded by every enlightened politician iu
Europe, and the studied policy of nou-iiiterfe-rcneo
was adopted.
Appointment.
The President to-day made tlie following ap
pointments:. L. Brown, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, Twenty-third district, Pa.

Jlay of Mpe, and near 1'uerto j'aure, an oi which are
claimed bv Ouesada's forces. Tho following Is an
authentic list of the expeditions alluded to, aud their
cargoes of military suiinlles: Hv the Salvador, from
Kev West. l.'iOO arms untl three Held pieces. From
Nassau, by the Name, 2t00 guns and 6 cannon, liy
the I'errlt, suou guns and 8 cannon, liy the Urape
sliol 4000 guns ami 2 cannon. These vessels origi
nally u-it j;,. York, Those scut from Philadel
phia In the first expedition therefrom wero three
schooners, with Bfioo arms and four steel guns. This
cargo was delivered near Trinidad on the 17th of
April, and haa alraady. If report be credible, told witn
effect on the situation In that greatly dlsaffecUHl
quarter. The second expedition haI its landing at
the same place with anoo guns in a small steamer.
The third expedition has lust gone with 2.100 arms.
Py these various expeditions the Cubans have r-
ceivea Ki.iuo small arms ana rt cannon or nem-
pleces. These supplies, received within a piriml
comparatively brief, constitute tho most decided
and extensive aid the Cubans have ever obtained.
There Is reason to believe that the Cubans are pow
erfully supported m a new and unexpected qnarter.of
the character of which we are not permitted to
speak. Their cause is not likely to fall, we under
stand, for want of efficient sympathy on the part of
the North. Never have the patriots of Cuba seemed
so continent ot victory.
We are favored with private advices from Tlavana
representing the extreme corruption of the Spaniards
mere, a nu tne venal lnuinerenoe or a niimocr oi
their officials to the failure or snccess of the war.
So gross had the avarice of these officials or officers
become, that it was a matter of belief that they
had privately soiti arms ana supplies oi ai
Kinds to the enemy. Indeed, It m known
to Cubans residents In New York,
that the first supplies of arms, some thousands In
number, received by the Cubans, were bougnt from
the Spaniards themselves. Charges or reports of
corruption are still common at tho capital, and in the
rein. Not less insignificant is itie laei tnai rtpanisn
papers betray a tone of concession to the rebels, one
of them going so far as to admit that the rebellion iH
gaining headway.
The appointment to the Captain-Ucncramlup of
Caballcro de Itoda is viewed by the Cuban authori
ties here and In New York as a sign of I'ercer and
more merciless hostilities on tho putt, of the mother
country, lie Itoda Is an able and ptompt comman
der, ana will assemble around him the worst and
least scrupulous chiefs of the army, such as belong
to the class of the duellist Kscalente. It is rxpe-.tetl
that he will draw the reins tighter upon tho goaded
Cubans, ami by conseuiience make the war more
desperate ami unrelenting. Meanwhile, antl befote
his arrival, the Cubans and their supposed liuliuster
Ing allies will have gained needful headway. The
clog upon the new Captain-Ucneral'H el'orts w.ll be
founded tn the finances of the island and the gene
rally alleged corruptions of its officials.

relative to the recognition of the belligerency of
the Cubans by the Government of Peru. This was
irought about, it appears, not ttirougii tne persua

an ottielal communicaton, addressed by Ueneral

ol Twenty I'loniers.
A correspondent on tho 13th ult. writes from St.
Jago de Cuba:
On the 2lst ult. Don Simon tie ;a Torre, our Gov
ernor, returned here at the head of his column of
:100 men, and announced to us that after the attack
maoc on the insurgents at uanion. iitteen leagues
from this place, the insurrection was completely put
tlown; but the same paper, El llriiastar, which pub
lished the oillclal despatch, had an editorial article,
inspired ny one of tne onicersol tne expedition, in
which It was said there hat) been no at
tack whatever, because the insurgents, not
being able to cope with 80 large a body of troops,
and being In want of even powder, abandoned their
camps. The column of General de la Torre, how
ever, illtl not return to st, ,iago wttnout leaving
behind signs of the most barbarous executions.
Overseers of estates, white and black, who,
fearing the order of Valtnaseda, hail re
mained In their houses awaiting the arrival
of the troops, were barbarously sacrificed. The
number so killed amounted to twenty. Colonel Or-
machea ordered the men to loiiow tne oamn. ami
when they obeyed him he ordered them to be shot.
The presence of De la Torre in St. Jago tie Cuba has
been tne signal ror iresn executions. Don Dcllin
Aguilera, who arrived with a safe conduct from
Colonel Camara, was imprisoned, and, by the Insti
gation of the Catalans was shot. He died like a
hero. Four days after, a family of the name of
A u ay a, well connected, consisting of a father and
three sons, were also executed. These acts l ave
given to the city a sepulchral air. Sorrow is seen
in every race as wen as indignation.
Retaliation by the Insurgent The Torch at
v oru.
The Insurgents have responded to these offenses
against, civilization by executing a double number
of the Spanish prisoners in their hands, and by burn
ing uown tne properties or an tnoso wno m:gnr.
give assistance to the Government. The most
magnificent estates have heen a prey to fire, and
every night we see from this city the immense
glare produced ly these acts of incendiarism.
All tne jurisdiction oi rst. .iago tie t.;una is untier tne
military, but the soldiery cannot prevent these
acts of revenge, and In order to give an 1ile:t
of the secret means that are employed, 1 might
tell you that a lew uigius ago eignt, nouses were
burned down In Cobre close to a barrack of 600 S')i-
piers. General tie la Torre had threatened to exe
cute any proprietors who should give motley to the
Insurgents to prevent the destruction of tneir pro
perties. With this threat hanging over them they
could not comply with the engagements; made with
ine insurgents, this disappointment caused tne
latter to commit depredations. On the oilier hand,
the Spanish Government, also feeling the want of
means, proposes to collect tho taxes In advance.
nils is another cause inducing tile Hisui'ueins to de
stroy property.
Wlint in Looked Fcr.
The recognition of Cuban Independence liy the
Pulled states is anxiously looked for here, and pub
he, opinion is complaining of the delay, since. It is
argued, the United States have greater right to In-
terlere here than franco had in Mexico, and the
longer they withhold tneir assisiimce tho worse it
will be as the end will be desolation. Annexation
to the United Stuto is the ardent t'esire of the
Cubans.

A special despatch was received from Havana by
the editors of the El Vroniita, which fully confirms
the report as to the destination ami use of the Arago.
The despatch, which embodies official and private
information received oy tne spanisn Government in
Havana, is to the effect that the Aiago and Salvador
met on the coast of Cuba on the 10th of May, and that
the former transferred a cargo of munitions of war
to the Salvador, which subsequently succeeded in
landing them in Cuba.
The Salvador entered the Ray of Nipo on the 18tti
instant, where her arms antl powder were conveyed.

The

INCENDIARISM.

llurncil in a Nihl.
The Kau Claire iMicU ) Free rrexn of May 24 says:
"Last Thursday evening commenced the lirst of
two of the most extensive conflagrations that ever
occurred In this place, and was probably the work of
Incendiaries, their object being evidently to burn
the city. The tire brokeout in one of the unoccupied
storerooms of Heed's Block, and so rapidly did It
burn as to lap up all the wooden buildingsinclud
ing Heed's residence on the entire square, with the
exception of Drs. Galloway and l-angrell'soiiice, and
two barns that were situated on the east side ol the
block. For a long time it seemed as though the
object of the lire would be accomplished, as it linally
crossed Kau Claire street to Dr. Skinner's drug store,
ami threatened to sweep unobstructed through a
large section of wooden buildings, and no salt; con
jecture could be formed of the linal arrest of the
flames. Had it not been for the persisteut and un
yielding efforts of the citizens ami river boys, who
fought the lire till their clothes were scorched and
faces blistered, there might have been no occasion
for tho next attempt made two days later, which, we
are sorry to say, proved much more extensive than
tlid the lire of Thursday evening.
"A repetition of tho previous attempt of tho incen
diaries to burn the town was deeply feared by many
of our citizens, who had but, to wait till Saturday
evening, when the fears which they had entertained
were lully realized. At alKiut 11-4S o'clock on the
evening of the 22il the fire alarm was sounded, and
the lire was found to emanate from the Chandler
House barn, on Kelsey street, a locality which im
mediately placed most of the business houses on
llarstow street in Imminent danger of being burned,
ami rendered those In the Immediate viciuity doubly
certain of being destroyed.
"Teams ami men were ousy all over the city haul
ing goods out of reach of the lire, while many goods
were carried across the Kau Claire bridge to the
North Side for safety. Considerable stealing was in
dulged In, antl In the heat of excitement many were
seen with armfuls of goods making for the direction
of the suburbs. A guard was established, aud posted
on the different roada ami bridges leading out of
town, aud a donen arrests were made during the
mght, though the most of those arrested were found
to puHHesg articles of plunder of ouly trifling value."

By A flantic Cable
London, Juno 2 The proceedings of tho
House of Commons, lat cverdntr, in regard to
Canada and other British colonies in North
America, were very interesting. Mr. Verncy in
quired what the policy of the Government
would bo towards tho American colonics?
Mr. Monell replied, and, whim declining to
enter on the colonial policy of tho Government,
intimated that a part of that policy was to throw
the cost of sclf-dcfcnse ou each colony. Mea
stires to that end had been pnrtially taken, mid
would bo extended next your. He had no doubt
that the nrranzomcnt for tho cession of tho
Hudson Bay Company's territory "ouM receive
tho ratification of tho Canadian Government.
Tho jiiestion was not ono of purchase only,
but also of development, of colonization and
civilization, which had hitherto been virtually
closed. If tho schemo w;t suecessful, tho Do
minion would ho able to extend from tho Atlan
tic to tho Pacific, lie believed all tho interests
of British Columbia lay in annexation with
Canada, and every facility would bo given to
forward them.
Mr. Northooto thought the Canadian were
hettcr able to decide for thtnwelves than tu act
on tho advice of tho Government, and ho be
lieved tho qiwstiou would soon le satisfactorily
settled.
Mr. Bury regarded Canada as t'.ie ftitura liigh-w.-y

such a course liadoverylhij, to IosjU and nothing

From the Vhieayo Tribune, Mr.y 30.
(shortly before 1 o'clock tills mormni? a gentleman
called at the Huron street police si.auon with a lady
cloak which he reported liavitur found on the wliarr
near Hush street bridire only a few minutes linlore.
He had picked up tlie Karuient, and as he iim
so a packet of letters, tied wjtli a i
of red riblion, fell from it. 'Hie tn li

who, weary of her burdonsomo life, Vf'1,;'0I?"

under the circumstances, lie took ttt cKw to he
police station, and there " ''tral ,'u

In addition, they reveal the base plot of the aooui.
drel who drove her to her death, thomrh here and
there sIlRhtly disconnected, these letters form the
thread of the whole story, and, if not serving to de. '
velop the Incident of the love so sadly ended, they
clearly expose the depth of vl'lany in the heart of
the seducer and the pitiable frailty of the victim.
Three letters addressed to Miss Nellie K. Dorset,
and sljrtied "(leorire," were found, tiesinea a farewell
letter written by the irirt. The latter epistle was en
closed in a small whitecnvelope,, bcannjr the Initial
"I),"and snperscrllMMi ".Mr. (Jeortte U. Hurr," In a
neat, legible, hand. The photograph of the young
man, on which Is written the name of Burr, repre
sents a fine looking fellow, about twenty-five years
old, with monstarhe and curling hair probably the
Ideal of many foolish girls until his falKlty betrayed
them. The other picture w that of a little girl, quite)
likely the sister of the deceased, as written npon It
are the words, "To Sister Nellie." Two of the letters
are addressed to "M r dear, dear Nellie," and signed
"Your loving licnrge."
An answer to the first letter wrlHen by Thirr must
have been received by him. In it the young ladv
evidently protected asainst. so rash a step as ah
elopement. The second Irtter contains further sug
gestions and more Importunities by the precious
scoundrel.
TIIK UNA!. STRATAOKM.
A letter, or rather a note, written In lead pencil,
probably while Hurr was in New York, is as follows

full of 'ove and forgiveness to the last. It is touching

It appears that the supposed suicide Is the daugh
ter of M. M. Dorset, doing business at No. itos
Broadway, New York. The wretch, (leorge II. Burr,
witn whom she eloped to this city, antl who cruelly
dese-ted her after ho had wrought her ruin, is a
travelling agent for a New York wholesale drug;
house. The elopement took place about two weeks
ago, and about a week since Superintendent of Po
lice Kennedy received a letter from the father of the
young girl, Informing htm of the flight, and, as he
had reason to believe they had come to Chicago, re
questing him to loek after the young couple.
Accompanying tho letter of the father to Superin
tendent Kennedy la a photograph of his daughter.
It represents a beautiful young girl, eighteen or
nineteen years of ago, dressed in the height of -fashion.
The river squad of our police were engaged during?
yesterday in searching for the body of a man who
was drowned a day or two since at tho foot of Jack
son street. To-day they will institute a search for
the body of the young girl.
THE SKQUEL.
A Homnntie bnt Horrowlul Fvrnt-A Dying
Actor Murrie bin Pupil.
on the 2Sth ult. a telegram was published in our
columns announcing mat in Memphis, Tcnn., on
the night previous, an actor was shot and fatally
wounded. The Memphis -luat'uiicieon the following
day Haiti :
Monsieur Veaudemont ahe victim's name) was re
moved, after being wounded, to his lodgings on Main
street, between Adams and Washington. Yesterday,
as the morning advanced, ho began to sink, and it
became evident that ho could not Ioiik survive.
When he became uware that but a short, time was
left him to remain on this earth, he turned to his
companion, who has been performing with him under
tilt; name cf Allue Le Favre, and said, "I do not fear
to die ; 1 am too much of a man to fear death. All that,
I dislike iu it is that all my prospects of seeing you
great, die with me. Alme, if you marry at some
future time, marry an honest man, no matter how
poor he may he. ' He then then went on to say that
lie wished to be united to her in legal bonds, that she
might have whatever property might one day be
coming to him. A marriage certificate was at once
obtained from the County Clerk, a priest was sent
for, and the two were united; ho culm and serious,
she in agony of weeping and grief, it was a touch
ing scene to look upon him lying pale ou his bed,
the damp drops of coming death already beading hia
brow ; to see the heart-stricken woman, tortured
with grief, pledging her faith to one who, in a
few minutes, would be past the mortal sphere;
tn hear, In the silence of the chamber of death
a silence interrupted at times bv the woman's sobs
and moans of anguish tho solemn tones of the
priest as he hastily read the solemn services of the
Church, anil pronounced those joined who were so
soon to be forever parted. The ceremony over, the
last rites of tho Konian Catholic Church were ad
ministered. A few more gasps, a little pressure of
the bridal hand be held in his, one lunt glance upon
her with his eye, and the victim of a murderer's
blind, reckless deed passed away.
The tragedy then became terrible. .The poor,
desperate woman cast herself upon her knees, and
raising up her hands, called In tones of piercing;
sngulhh upon Heaven to blast, with all Its curses,
the murderer who bad robbed her of all she held
dear on earth. But this terrible scene Is too painful
to dwell upon. The deceased, as is usual In his
profession, did not put his real name upon the
bills. That name was Arthur de Pelgrom, and
under that name he was in Memphis two years giving"
lessons In fencing, an art in which he was a most
skilful adept.
