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

Mv of the Presbyterian Church in New York; Hev.
Dr. Stitt, the delegate to the German Reformed
Church; Kev. J. 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.
