It was referred to the Committee on Correspon dence to report thereon. ....... verv interesting reports were received from the Beveral delegates Appointed by the last Synod to the different Fvangellcal Chnrchcs with which the I'hurch Is in correspsndenee. The Hev Ilr. Gordon, delegate to tho Lutheran Mvnori at Washington, May 13, 1H9, reported that ho was very kindly received, and was gratified to find the I ntheran Church In a prosperous condition, and that they hail, at the Invltutlon of tho Synod of the Reformed Church, appointed a committee com posed of Rev. Drs. l'iihlman, Nchmucker, Zelgler, Wcilekend, and Butler to represent them at tho proponed National Council of the Kvangellcal churches In the United States, to be held on the third Tuesday of October, in the city of New York.

A. l)e Bauss. delegate to the United Presbyterian Church; Rev. Dr. W. J. H. Taylor, delegate to the General Assembly of the Presbyte rian Church, made similar reports. A communication was received from the Seces sion Church of Holland, requesting a deputation fr m this Synod. The report of the committee appointed by the last Synod for the purpose of securing the passage of an act to change the corporate title of the General Synod of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church to that of the General Svnod of the Reformed Church In America, was adopted. The following la a copy of the act, passed April Hi, 18t9: "The people of the mate of Hew York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: "Section 1. The ecclesiastical body hitherto incor porated and known as the General Synod of the Re formed Presbyterian Dutch Church shall hereafter be designated and known by the corporate title of luc General Synod of the Reformed Church In Ame rica, and, as such, exercise and enjoy all the rights and powers It has hitherto possessed ; but this act shall not affect any contract, suit, or proceeding, claim or demand, now existing against said corpo ration. "Section 2. This act shaU,take effect Immediately." The Synod appointed a committee of Ave dele gates, consisting of three ministers and two laymen, to attend the National Evangelical Convention lu tK'tober next. The Committee on the Revision of the Digest made a report through their chairman, Rev. J. L. Lee, which was accepted. The Digest was ordered to be printed under the unperlutendence of the same committee, and the thanks of the Synod were given to the committee for their extended and efficient labor. Hev. Dr. Hlgby, a delegate from the German Re formed Church, appeared and very ably presented the salutations of that bod v. He said, In speaking of the churches, that bothwere Reformed both hold to the same doctrines, and the lUldelburg Catechism Is nscd in both of our churches, though one was "Dutch" and the other "German" each has nuffcred common trials and troubles. Yet each had struggled manfully against the common enemy In maintaining the in tegrity of the Reformed faith. Concerning his church he desired to say thut they were not Lutheran on the one hand nor Puritan on the other; but were truly Reformed, and intended to remain so. He spoke of the union between the Presbyterian churches, and earnestly desired the same respecting the Reformed lurches. iThe President welcomed the delegate, and in an appropriate manner reciprocated the desire for union, not as being banded together but a union of loving hearts laboring for Christ. The regular order for the morning was then taken up, and the Svnod addressed by Hev. J. V. Kerrls, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, who was listened to with great attention and interest. A communication was received from Rev. C. E. CriBlleld, Professor of Theology at Hope College, with the annual report of the College to the Synod. They were read and reicrred to the Committee on Professorate. The Syuod was then addressed by Rev. Dr. West, Secretary of the Board of Domestic Missions, who Bald he did not believe any denomination of the .Evangelical Churches contributed to benevolent pur poses so freely as did the Reformed Church. Yet it will be borne In mind that the Board have a great work to do, which God is blessing to a greater ex tent than in any of the established Churches, with all their advantages. This was a signiUcant fact, and he would,twith sincerity ami affection, call their attention to the progress making in gaining souls to our Lord Jesus Christ. The precious returns made to the elders of the Board were of the most gratifying character, and he thought the appropriation for the coming year should be at least f4o,000, instead of $l7,ooo. as in the past year. If there were larger means the spiritnaUicatn would be correspondingly great, and the weary, worn sinner would be refreshed and benefited. The Board had been exceeding their means In the hope of having the amount mane up in the future, but such a course produced embarrassment and continued anxiety. He therefore advocated with much force. and at considerable length, the propriety of making a proper appropriation at once from the regular funds of the Church. In regard to the Building Fund, if the Synod would plve f 12,000 it would materially aid twelve struggling churches. There are forty-seven more Sabbath Schools this year than last, and it was thus seen tbat in that Important department of the Church.also, was progress and success, organization was what was necessary, and this he forcibly impressed as a Iuty on the members of the Synod present. On motion of Elder Myers, It was resolved that so Much of the report of the Board of Directors as re ferred to the raising of f 100,000 for the Theological fsemlnarv at New Brunswick. N. J., in which the Board of Directors were to assist the committee, be referred to the Committee on Professorate. The Corresponding Secretary of the Board of Education, Rev.- John L. Lee, addressed the Synod, and was followed by Hev. John A. Lansing, Corres ponding Secretary of tho Board of Publication, who epoite untu me nouror sojournment, at nx o cioct. Important to Cakal Boat Interests. Under a law obsolete for half a century, the officers of the Treasury Department have for some vears oast col. locted tonnage and enrolment dues annually of canal boats and barges, because they tloated to tide-water. These dues amounted to over fifty dollars a year. It appears, by a letter written by J. W. Douglass, the Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in answer to recent inquiries, that this collection was illegal. and that the only tax is five or ten dollars, according to tne size or trie crait. Mr. Douglass says, in reply to these Inquiries "relative to tho liability of certain boats to special tax under the provisions of the pro , viso to section 103, act of June 80, 1MW, as amended. thut all 'boats, barges, and Hats' coming within the terms of and fulfilling the conditions expressed lu said proviso, namely : First, not used for carrying passengers, nor propelled by Bteam or sails, but which are floated or towed by tug-boats or horses; and second, engaged exclusively in carrying coal. oil, mineral, or agricultural nroducts to market, are required to pay, in lieu of tonnage tax and enrolment Zees, an annual special tax of Ave or ten dollars, ae- conung 10 me tonnage or tne particular boat. The fact that the grain and coal 'carried' was not pro iluced in the 'Immediate vicinltv of sliininent .' should not ull'ect the question of liability In this re- garu.

HOW. I.KONARD MTRRfl PKHRWADRO The Hon. Leonard Meyers wan serenaded Iat evening at his residence on Sixth street, above Buttonwood, by the Lledertafel Society, who anng several beautiful Ger man airs. Mr. Mvers was iatruc.d to the musicians by George Slegmond, Rsq., and spoke an follows: My irlends of the Lledertafel, I am almost nnwill Ing to break the silence which succeeds your song, for my voice has no music to give you in return but thanks are always welcome and I give you my thanks. This delightful harmony Is very pleasant to me. I do not know what prompted your kind visit, but you would he welcome without the music, and arc donbly welcome with It. Yon come from the land of legend and of song, and keep up the customs of the Fatherland. Those customs, those games and songs and holidays, have al ways seemed to me very beautiful. They strengthen the body; they give recreation and pnrity and noiy aspirations to the mind. They take the young from baser pursuits and keep Irish among the old memories of youth. Music and poetry are ours; muslo has the cadence and rhyme, but poetry Is the inspiration. We Americans are borrowing from tho Fatherland ; we are in the last ten years becoming a musical people yes, a poetical people a good deal of bruins, but still more heart. The boy who thrilled at the music, of the drum wai filled with the sentiment of the flag as ho marched to do battle for the l:nlon. Country was higher than all beside. War hardened our nerves, but It softened our souls; and so. when the war closed, the 4th of July, the 28d of tebruarv. were still our holidays, but. many others came with thein, the noblest of all, that on which we decorate our dead heroes' graves with (lowers. National holidays) are the well- springs at which the people drink new life and national games and associations and festivals are becoming American just as you (ioniums are American now. 'the festival of music the Sangerfest for which, I am told, yon are all making preparations, is i tie most bciiuttrul of all; more so, 1 think, here than In the Fatherland for the bird sings more sweetly when its carols ure In spired by liberty. You canie here for freedom. You have obtained it. Yes, you have helped us to per fect nnd preserve It. Why should not the songs of freedom be the most charming in the world 7 To uie they always arc. Let nie thank you once more, and f von w 11 come in I propose to drink your health and bid you a hearty welcome. 1 he American Glee Cluii. who were present, then sang "The Star Spangled Banner," in the chorus of which ail heartily Joined.
