The report reau aa i uuu via.
The special committee to whom was referred the
question whether the omission ef the word "Ger
man" from the official title of the Church has been
constitutionally adopted by a two-thirds vote of the
classes, beg leave respectfully to report.
That from the documents referred to the coramlt
lee. It appears that the number of Classes at the
time when the amendment of the constitution was
' referred to them was 81.
It further appears that at the first annnal meetings
f the classes held after the submission of the
amendment, only seven voted against the amend
ment, namely :-8t. Joseph s, St. John, Sheboygan,
Mllwaukie, Erie, Indiana, and Philadelphia. It does
not appear that any classis was unable to come to a
decision on the question, and that consequently all
the classes not so voting must be counted In favor
f the amendment. Hence the number to be counted
in favor of the amendment Is, according to the
terms of the constitution, 4. and the amendment
Jus consequently been carried.
It Is proper to add that the following classes voted
In favor of the amendment: East Pennsylvania,
Lebanon, Maryland, Zlon, East Lancaster, Clarion,
Bu Paul, Westmoreland, Miami, West Lancaster,
Tnscarocra, Tiffin, Huidelburg, East Susquehanna,
West New York, Mercersburg, Goshenhoppen, Illi
nois, Iowa, Virginia, and West Susquehanna.
Total, 21.
The following classes voted in the negative: St.
Joseph's, 18t. John, Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Erie,
Indiana, Philadelphia. New York, Minnesota, and
- Jiorth Carolina. Total, 10.
We therefore recommena me auopuon or the
Jollowing resolution:
RegoireJ., That the omission of fhe word "German"
from the official title of the Church has been con
stitutionally adopted by the Classes.
The report was received and adopted.
Rev. J. O. Miller, of York, stated that all property
wu held bv the Church under the title of the Her-
ati Reformed Church, and that It wonld be ner.es.
iarr for Svnod to make some provision for the legal
abanm nf . mune.
Elder Giesy said that the ruling of the courts had
llways leen that when a Christian organization
fchange Its name according to Its Constitution it
vOoes not at all invalidate their legal title to pro-
No decided action was taken In the matter.
A report was received from the special committee
to whom the subject of the complaint on the subject
Of the divorce court had been referred.
The report stated that the committee did not
think it necessary for this Synod to take any action
in the matter, as the special case which had caused
the complaint belongs properly to the lower courts
for adjudication.
The Committee on Orphans' Homes reported that
the offer of 160 acres of land In Oregon for an
orphans' home should be declined, because the loca
tion Is too remote and the offer Is accompanied with
too many conditions.
The report was laid on the table until the reports
from the various superintendents of orphans' homes
eboold be presented.
The special committee on the subject of the
Liturgy of ttie Synod of Ohio and adjacent States,
and of the Northwestern Synod, reported that they
kad examined the Liturgy which had been referred
to them. They did not think it advisable to send the
Utnrgy to the classes for adoption. They did not
think that the Chinch was yet prepared to unite on
.ny one order of service.
The committee offered the following resolutions:
Whereas, The Synod of Ohio and adjacent States
and the byned ol the Northwest have produced a
liturgy or order of worship, which they deem proper
to be used in their worship, and request to be per
mitted to use it, therefore
rumlved, That their request be granted, and that
j the privilege is hereby granted to all who may desire
It, to use this liturgy In their worship.
Resolved, That we commend to oil the lower
Church court, and especially to all churches, to use
moderation, prudence, and charity tn reference to
the differences that exist among ns on the subject of
liturgical worship. In order that we may be brought
in flue time to unity and peace.
Rev. Dr. Wllllard said that the memorials which
tiad come before the synod on the liturgical question
did not represent the whole Churh. He thought the
liturgy should go down to the classes for action In
order that Its adoption might take place sooner than
It would do by any other method of proceeding. The
Church was heartily tired of the controversy, and
the sooner It was completed the better. He offered
. the following resolution In place of those in the com-
mittee'g report:
Reoobed, That the liturgy of the Reformed Church
fMhrnitted to this body by the Synods of Ohio aud of
the Northwest, together with the order of worship
of the Eastern Synod, be submitted to the several
classes for their approval or disapproval according
to the constitution, and that in the meantime the
.. notional nse of both be allowed In the Church.
Neither of these liturgies shall, however, in any case
be introduced in the regular order of service without
the formal consent or the consistory aud coma-esra-ilona.

Dr. Bamberger moved that the subject be deferred
And made a special order tor the afternoon session.
1IHt.
Dr. Moses Kleffer thought that, because there had
tcen trouble in the Church on the subject, there was
no good reason why It should be hurried. A state
of trouble Is the natural condition of the Christian
Cbnrch. We all have and must have trouble.
The hour of adjournment having arrived, the sub
ject was deferred, and no vote on either resolution
was taken. Closed with the singing of the choral
'.Nun Danket Alle Cott,"
, A FLEA FOR UNION.
Dr. Stork, as the delegate of the General Synod of
the Lutheran Church Tn the United States to the
General Synod of the Reformed Church, yesterday
. evening made an address before the latter, now hold
ing Its sessions In this city. After presenting the
.Christian salutations of his Synod to the Reformed
.Convention, be Bald the Lutheran Church was not
.inly the oldest but the most numerous of all the
l'fotestant denominations. According to the ac
count given In the Quarterly Review, by the acknow
ledged statistician of the Cbnrch, the Lutheran
Church Is more numerous than all other Protestant
, denominations combined. The Protestant popula
tion u estimated at 80,000, OOO; 47, 000,000 are em
braced in the Lutheran Cbnrch in different
arts AS the world. He said the Lutheran
Aaroh in the United States, of ail
languages, numbers 61 synods, 2000 ministers, 8500
churches, nd 400,000 communicants. It has 19
theological e.mlnarie8, 16 colleges, aud 12 periodi
cal publication. He spoke of the elements of dis
rd aud ecclesiastical antagonism In his Chnrch,
f owing out of ad Inflexible adhesion to all the de
!M the Conl0i.Moa by some and the demand
. lur ruuaiiKilu innovations. He aald that all mere
external conformity, all formal bonds of nnlon
rii)i b do not spring o0b Pf the Inner life, and from
TiWuujon with Christ, fe decOJHlTe, were Illu
sions of tho Imagination. He referred In glowing
terms to the recent rennlon of the two great
branches of the ITcshytertan Church, and said this
blessed fact shows the possibility of spiritual on,
w and ecclciasttl Bnliy even where there Is di
versity of theologies! sentlraont- With this
practical example before ns, let ns aspire to
a closer and a more manifest nnlon among all
who love onr Ixird Jesus Christ In sincerity and
truth. Let ns feel that, whatever may be our con
fessional standards or peculiar ritualism, there Is no
adcqnate reason In any minor differences for frater
nal alienation or antagonism. Let us feel that,
whilst we have a tendency to extreme ritualism on
the one side, and a seductive rationalism on the
other, we are summoned to this Christian unity that
we may contend as one man for trnth, for Christ and
His kingdom. Let us realize that at this day, and
with our vast responsibility. It Is a sin against Christ
and the souls Re has redeemed to waste our ener
gies npon speculative heresies and ritualistic ques
tions, contending about the seamless robe of Christ,
under the very shadow of His cross. Let us feel that
not to le united before the world as tho friends of
Jesus for mere frivolous or Imaginary heresies and
speculative differences Is putting in peril the souls we
should seek to save, Is dishonoring Christ and keeping
back like chilling frosts tho springtime of His king
dom. May we not Invite you to unite with us In the
prayer and effort for a profounder Christian unity
among all the true disciples of Jesus, and for such
manifestation of that unity In fraternal recognition
and co-operative agency as will hasten the fulfil
ment of the Saviour s prayer, "That the world may
believe that thou hast sent inc." And thus shall we
be among those who truly and effectually help
"To build the univenwl Miuroh
Lofty an it the love of Uwl
And ample a thw wintn of man."
TRIUMPHANT.
rirlry nl Iist-No mixed ClinicsThe Hoard
of Managers of tho Pennsylvania HoNitltal
HucciHnb.
For a week past little or nothing has boon heard
from the warriors of Jefferson College or tho Uni
versity ; but, nevertheless, they have been working
hard and earnestly. Finding that noise and bombast
went for so much chaff, some few of those whose in
tellects are somewhat clear assumed the master
ship, and with the skill and precision of veteran
tacticians brought their batteries to bear upon the
main stronghold of the enemy, and the result is
victory. Yesterday, a meeting of the managers of
the Pennsylvania Hospital was held, at which Mor
decal L. Dawson presided, and Wlstar Morris acted
as secretary. After some little discussion, the fol
lowing resolution was offered and unanimously
adopted :
VhrTHW, It appears the resolution adopted by the Board
at their Htated meeting- bold 2th nit., authoring the at
tendance of fttmnie Muriont at the olinioa of the hiuipiUI,
has fiven rise to much diHaatixfaction on tlio part o many
physicians and studenta of this oity; and whereas, suofi
opposition was entirely nnuxpeotod. from the favt that
fnmale students had been attonding the clinics of the
Blockley Hospital of this city, as well aa at liellnvue Hon-
Sital, New York, Kdinburxli, Scotland, and Zurich, in
witzerland, without, so far a we were aware, there bain
any opposition ; and whereas, it is the desire of the man
agers of the hospital to avoid Riving any just ground of
dissatisfaction, tiierefore
Kemtvrd, That a committee of five be appointed to con
fer with the medical and siirgioal staff of the hospital to
provide for separata clinical instruction to tho fnmslo
students of medicine on at least one day in each week,
and that upon t lie completion of such an arraiignmont
the other clinical lectures be oonliuod to classes composed
of males only.
When the news of this action reached tho two
colleges, a scene ensued which beggars description.
Some of the students hugged, kissed, und fondled
each other; another squint set up a yelling and a
dnnclng, reminding one of a camp of Caiuanclies;
whilst still others sought secluded corners ami
mutually pledged and vowed, that slnco they had
thus far conquered that terrible (!) enemy. Woman,
they would henceforth ami forever hold tlio rolus
so help them Solomon.
An Impromptu meeting was formed and soon a
long, lanky specimen of a "Down-Kustcr" proposed
that they should form In a body and proceed to the
college to pay their acknowledgment to the Hoard
of Managers. This wa Immediately voted down.
A fellow from the other side of the Allcghculcs
then proposed that the students of tho KeimUo Medi
cal College be treated to a serenade, and that a com
mittee of live tie appointed to secure tin pans, dish
kettles, and iienny trumpets for that puriHise, This
was received with dearenlng cheers, and was on tho
point of being umintmotmly adopted, when some
chop yelled out, "I vo just got a pound of tobacco,
Hail a ino-pounder exploded In their midst, It would
not have produced a much greater effect. Women,
clinics, and studies were all for tho time being for
gotten, and with one simultaneous rush they went
for the "fellow with tho tobacco" Uko 11 squad of
policemen for a bootblack. When we left they were
still squabbling and squirming around him.
TAXATION.
The Hatex for 1SJO The Controller's Report
I nderMoioK luveaiiKitilon.
Last evening, at the regular weekly meeting of the
Finance Committee of Councils, the report of the
City controller, submitting the estimates of the ex
penses and receipts of the city during the year 1S7U,
was submitted and considered, but as the committee
found It necessary to make certain changes and cor
rections in the report, it cannot yet be made nubile.
At 4 o'clock to-morrow afternoon the committee will
hold a special meellnir, and by that time It is thought
that the report will be ready for submission to Coun
cils on the following day.
The session last evening was continued to a late
hour, and at the adjournment it was announced that
the committee had decided to report the tax rate,
for lb70, at 11-bO. as at present, with the same deduc
tions and penalties as for lhC'j. As the suburban
rate is two-thirds of the full rate, and the farm rate
one half that amount, they will therefore be l -20 and
uo cents respectively, provmeu uie run rale is llxed
by Councils at the amount recommended by the com
mittee. Taking the assessments of real estate as
submitted by the Board of Revision, we therefore
have the following result, as tho revcuue of the city
from taxation during the year lttfu :
Halt. Iteontue.
Amount subject to
full rate 12T,72S,870 atfl"W) 17,699,120
Amount subject to
suburban rate.... 23,719,110 at 11-20 S4,029
Amount subject to
farm rate 20,162,279 at 90c. 181,871
Total H7i,flO0,2flB s,ir,,i20
In consideration of fixing the tax rate so low, tho
committee struck out tbe appropriation demanded
for the new public buildings. Among the bills
passed; upon favorably by the committee was the
ordinance making an appropriation of faooo to pay
road jurors; aud another to appropriate f 0182-27 to
pay District Attorney fees and clerks' fees for 1808
and 1869.
In the appropriations referred by Common Coun
cil relative to the school bill, they struck out J5300
towards the building of the school at Seventeenth
and Vne streets, in the Twenty-sixth section.
Eari.es' Gai.i.f.kieb The fire which destroyed
the galleries of Messrs. James S. Earle & Sons, No.
810 Chesnut street, a few months ago, had scarcely
ceased burning when active operations were com
menced to repair the loss. The Interior of the struc
ture has been entirely rebuilt, and advantage has
been taken of the necessities of tho occasion to
make a number of improvements that will make
Earlcs' gnlleries more popular than ever as a place
of resort for lovers of the fine arts. Messrs. Earle
moved into their old quarters yesterday, and com
menced operations with a splendid stock of tine pic
tures, engravings, photographs, chromos, looklng-
? lasses, frames, etc., for connoisseurs to select
i'oiu. Not the least of the Improvements effected
is In the reconstruction of the entrance on Cheunut
street, which Is now in the middle of the building,
with a large show window on each side of it, which
will admit of a liner display of works of art than
formerly. As every promenader on Chesnut street
knows, the array of fine pictures, engravings, etc.,
in Earles' windows makes one of the most popular
features of our fashionable thoroughfare. Under
the present arrangement this attraction is increased
two-fold, and Messrs. Earle are to be congratulated
on the Improvement. The Interior of the establish
ment Is designed for the effective display of art
works, the facilities for the manufacture of all kinds
of frames and ornaments are Increased, and the store
has been reopened with an extensive stock of the
ilncst goods.
Tna Hay Market. The residents in the upper
section of the city still complain of what Is known as
the Haymarket nuisance, the constant passing to
and fro of wagons loaded with hay, the scattering of
timothy on the sidewalks, and the blockade of the
public highways. The evil is to be remedied, so we
are Informed, for a meeting of the Directors of the
Haymarket Company is called ror next month, when
the subject will be under consideration. A commit
tee will be appointed at this meeting to confer with
Mayor Fox In reference to the alleged nuisance. It
is reported that the directors will discuss the prac
ticability of removing the market further north, and
out of the built-up portion of the city.
Mr. Joiin A. Hocbkman, the new Recorder of
Deeds, enters upon the discharge of his duties to

The committee to Investigate sertaln charges
against the Committee 00 Olrard Estate met yester
day afternoon In Common Council chamber.
Thomas Harlow. Select Councilman from the First
ward, presided.
sir. nenry iiunn, common councilman rrora me
Fifteenth ward, testified as follows:
When the Chair stated in Common Council, Shall
the bill pass notwithstanding the veto T Mr. Dillon
made a speech, In which he made three points:
First. Power should not be vested In the Superin
tendent of the Girard Estate. Second. Members of
Councils were Interested In these leases. Third. Tbe
royalty Is not sutllclent
To that speech 1 replied, combatting these three
points, showing that the royalty paid by the com
pany which I represent outside parties tn the coal
regions whs smile lent.
To this Mr. Dillon replied excitedly. Immediately
after this speech 1 went over to Mr. Dillon, When the
following conversation ensued:
I said: Mr. Dillon, I do not think that you aro
aware of tho necessity and Importance of having
these leases executed at once, In order to have re
moved the whisky dealers and squatters who are
springing np upon this property, for If you did yon
would not light this bill with so much bitterness.
As to any members of Councils being Interested In
these lenses, I do not believe one word of It. 1 then
flaked, Do you know of any parties who are Interested
In these leases? To this he answered no. I then
said as to the qnestlon of royalty I consider that
whole matter settled and determined, and even If
we knew of parties who would be willing to pay two
or three cents per ton more for a lease, that would
not enter Into tho discussion of this bill. It appears
to my mind the proper time to have discussed ll was
when the ordinances were under discussion In May
last.
Mr. Dillon answered: I cannot agroe with you
there, because at the time tho ordinances granting
theBC leases were brought In, wo could scarcely tell
what was in them, and I do not know that I paid
suillclent attention to them. 1 replied that I had
paid attention to them.
Mr. Smith, Superintendent of tho Olrard Estate,
then gave an explanation of tho manner In which
the leases were made, and some statistical Informa
tion of a general character.
I'pon motion of ylv Shoemaker, It was resolved
that Biibpa-nos be. untied for certain Journalists, to
have them appear beforo the committee at the next
meeting and testify as to the statements made by
them editorially In their respective papent.
INotlee had been served upon these gentlemen,
but they, misunderstanding the purport thereof, did
not appear. Hk PottTie k. 1

Arch streets, and with boldness almost unsurpassed,
wrenched open the front kitchen window, ami
entered I lie building. Oi.ce In, they set about their
work. In the kitchen they found the whole of the
day's wash, which they carefully bundled up. Near
by tho sliver plate and plated ware of the family was
found; the genuine plate they reserved, and the
Imitation they bent and twisted and left there In Its
place. They then gathered together all the apparel
of the family they could lay hands on, and Nvlei-tliig
two of the best suits, doniied them, bundled no tho
remainder, nod hung their own cast-off garments
on some chair-backs. After ransacking the whole
Place for further booty, they left, only forgetting:
to leave their curds behind. Perhaps the most

Sd Ohio Reports, sec. Hb7. He said It was no objec
tion, but on the contrary a recommendation to a
legislative enactment based on justice and public
policy, that it would be found to coincide with the
precepts of pure rellg on ; but nevertheless the
nower to make a law rests In the legislative control
over things temporal, not spiritual ; for no power
ever thliiKH spiritual had ever been delegated to the
Government, while any preference or ono religion
over another Is directly prohibited by the Consti

WOMAN.
One or the Hrx Jnrn the Whole Tlilnu, luntu
lunim, Cnal, W hlNkrra, Kle. A Itu-li Scene.
Jealousy Is as potent a power among womanhood
as politics among the sterner sex, aud the woman
who once feels a twlnjro from the "greon-cyed
monster" 111 stop short of nothing this Bide or eter
nity to prove her suspicions; uud when she suc
ceeds therein, then look out.
For some time past, one of C,ie demi-monde residing
in the neighborhood of the Exchange has hail cause
to believe that her man or lover has been giving her
the go-by.
With a fox-like cunning and a lynx-eyed obser
vance he has followed his trail night after night,
but succeeded in everything but that she desired,
namely, fixing his duplicity.
Last night, however, she found that the partv,
whom we shall call P. T. intended, accompanying
another fair siren to a ball.
Then did her reelings rise to lever heat, and every
vein within her tilled with the rapid coursing or tho
blood, warmed by the feeling of the wrong about
ticlng done her, she resolved that, come what would,
his perildy she would detect, and him expose before
a public assemblage.
"When a woman will, ehe will,
You may depend on it,"
is an old adage, but In this case she didn't, as the
seqnel will show.
About nightfall the subject or our sketch attired
herself In a full suit of male apparel, and donning an
enormous pair of side whiskers, started out, cane in
iiano.
Now the object of scrutiny visits a saloon in the
neighborhood of Fifth aud Walnut streets, and
thither she first directed her steps. Arriving at the
place, she for a moment stopped to consider as to
whether she should enter or await developments;
but, alasl for human expectations, this moment
firoved ratal to all her hopes, ror standing In the
iroad glare or a gas-light, an inquisitive character
In the shape or a man discovered that something
was wrong with the whiskers, as the neck and
under part of the chin were as fulr as a Illy.
Now this man Is fond of a Joke, and to this did he
resolve to turn bis discovery. A detective onicer
was sent after, and whilst the Jealous one was
quietly waiting for the object ol her wrath, she was
quietly tapped on the shoulder and Informed that
bcr presence was desired at the detective office.
Arriving thereat a rich scene followed. She plead,
raved, wept, aud Importuned, but all to no purpose.
The stony-hearted officials would have an examina
tion. A female was about being sent f or.when the fair
one gave In and an explanation followed. After re
ceiving a severe lecture she was allowed to proceed
to her home, promising never more to wear the
breeches.
Sudden Death. Tbe Coroner has been notified to
hold an Inquest upon the body of a colored man who
died suddenly this morning In Giles' alley.
Thrown from a Waoon. About o'clock this
morning Leverett Knox was thrown from his wagon
on Chesnut street bridge, and badly cut about the
head, lie was removed to the Sixteenth District
station House.
