THE DAFJf EVMiM TELEGRAPH IHLADELPIIIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1809. 8 CITY I W TBLH UBM CB GERMAN REFORMED SYNOD. formed 1 hnrch U the Uolted "-Ulrn. loa fih" IJtrtlcal QnetloB. The session of the German Votrmel General Synod yesterday afternoon was occupied in the dls imlon of the subject of foreljrr missions. The subject of the liturgy "-.aa then taken nn. The wrnimltteCa report wa discussed by numerous Bienibcrs of the Synod. jn the evening th gftmo mihjeet was continued, nil addresses we'a made by Rev. Dr. Zahncr, Revs. Pulton, KinmluoiiftHH, Dlcchraann. Elder Oclsey, Dr. Zieber, Elder Krmentront, Kev. Mr. Miller, Rev. Dr. jjombcrRer and Kev. Dr. Ncvin. ThescMon thin morning openod with religious service's m German, led ly Kev. Dr. Stern. Rev. Dr. Apple addressed the Synod on the subject tf 'ue liturgy, exhorting the ministry to prudence, bMt nrffinff them not to give up one lota of the prin tings of government ol the Keformed Church. Kev Mr. Kelnhardt spoke on the same subject. Neither of the two rival liturgies have been thor oughly examined. They have not been translated. The Synod had no right to paHg Judgment on the Btnrtzy nntll It had been presented to the classes for onrtderatlon. The report of the Liturgical Commit tee In reality passed Judgment before the liturgy had been so presented. It is not right for the Synod to Kay that this or that should be used in our churches, mie constitutional method Is to send It down to the classes. If the Synod were to order that a certain order of service shoull he used, It could not be forced upon a congregation. If the majority of a congregation were opposed to the innovation, t ie overnment could do nothing. It Is true that tho Tlders and pastor were empowered to act indepen dently of the congregation, but the congregation elects the ciders. The speaker referred to congre gations who had been driven from their cliurchly houses and property, and compelled to foutvl new churches, so that they might have peace. Kev. Mr. Eschback asked the speaker to state such an Instance, or retract the statement. Mr. Kelnhardt relcrred to ilio chnrch In whose ulldlng the Synod Is now meeting. There had been a division In the congregation of Christ Church be cans of the Introduction of the liturgy. Mr. Esehbach said the liturgy nail never been used In the congregation. Kev. Dr. Gelscy said that, as he was the pastor of the congregation In question, he was better able to jrtve facts. Jin Maid that the gentleman had been totally misinformed. The liturgy had never been aed, and hud never been attempted In his congre gation. It had not even been presented to the con Blstory. The trouble grew out of the pastor's sense of duty, which caused the pastor to read the pastoral letter from the synod to which ho belonged. The ldcrs had called him to account, not because of the Introduction of the liturgy, but because he was lltur gleal In hlB sentiments. r Itev. Dr. Miller, of York, thought It better ttiat me nmendment to the committee's report should be laid on the table, and made a motion to that effect. The motion failed, because the mover and the Beconder were not In harmony, as was shown by the remarks of each. A motion was made to vote separately on the dif ferent sections of the amendment to the committee's WThe"lirst section provides for sending the liturgy down to the Classes, and the second declares that in the meantime tho liturgy should not be Introduced into any congregation without their consent. The Chulr decided that the amendment was so devisable, and an appeal was taken from tho de cision. The Syod sustained the Chair by a vote of in to 63. The confusion was so great at this point that tho President found It necessary to announce that the members were unnecessarily delaying tho business of the Synod by their disorder. The yeas and nays were called for and taken on the second part of the amendment. Lost by a vote Of 1 to lot. The vote was then taken on the flr.-it part, whether the Utnrgy should go rtow n to the Classes. The yeas and nays were called for. Lost by a vote of 105 70. The vote was then taken on the original resolu tions embodied in the committee's report. (The reso lutions were published In Tiik Kvbniko Tklkuhai'ii in the report of the proceedings of yesterday morn hjg's session.) The yeas and nays were taken. 1 ho report was adopted by a vote of 1 17 to 62. A motion was made to reconsider. Passed. A motion was mad'! to Insert an additional Item la the Liturgical Committee's report embodying the report of the special committee to whom the memo rials of congregations on the subject of the lllurgy bad been referred. This was the subject of much discussion. On mo tion one of the memorials was read. It gave tho reasons why. In the opinion of the memorialists, the liturgy should not be brought into general use. Deferred the subject until afternoon. Adjourned.

T" - Conntmctlam of Ouanntloner Delano I'pon tb Dealer In Aleokol-A Petition to bo Kent to WnnhlBirton. At noon to-day the Drug Exchange held a meeting at their rooms on H. Third street, to take Into consi deration the decision of Acting Commissioner Doug lass with reference to dealers In alcohol. The President, Robert Shoemaker, Esq., called the meeting to order, and stated that the object for which It was called was to consider the late decision of the Commissioner of Internal Kevcnue as to sell lug distilled spirits, in which the dealer In alcohol la now termed a liquor dealer, and any druggist who disposes of more than five gallons of alcohol shall be Known as a wholesale liquor dealer, and llablo to pay the tax as such. In addition, any one who comes under the provision of the act regulating wholesale liquor dealers shall be compelled to put np a sign announcing himself as such. Mr. Shoemaker then read the letter of Commissioner Holltns, of August, lsfiS, in which that Oltlclnl had decided that alcohol did not come under the head of liquors, nnd that drugglBts did not Incur any additional liabilities by reason of the sale of alcohol tn any quantities. Ho also read the letterof Acting Commissioner Douglass, reversing the decision of Mr. Rollins. The sneaker then said that a conference had been held, which resulted In tho forwarding of a letter to Commissioner Delano, asking him to review the de cision of Mr. Douglass. In that letter attention wa called to the fact that nearly all tho druggists had nothing to do with liquors, and that they would feel themselves degraded bv putting np a sign announc ing themselves In a traitlc in which they were not engaged. No answer hail as yet boon received In renl.v to this remonstrance. William M. Wilson believed that tho meaning of the law was the same now as It was when it was framed. The decision of Mr. Kolllns was rendered while the subject was fresh in the minds of tho law makers, and if it had been wrong his attention would have been called to it by the framers of the tax bill. He submitted a petition to which ho wanted signatures, requesting Mr. Delano to review the de cision of Mr. Douglass. After a general interchange of opinion. It. iras agreed to refer the whole subject to the following gentlemen, who will submit a report on Wednesday, December 8: Messrs. W. J. Miller, Edward A. II 11 nee. A. Malcolm, William M. Wilson, D. C. Lan dis, and Kobert Shoemaker. BURGLARY. A DnrlnR Outrngn Two mnskeri Men ICnlcr n Hestdenee at Pliti-nlxvlllc, and Kob It of Over 3-.M00. The quiet little town of Plwnixville was this morning made tho scene of a daring outrage and burglary. In a secluded portion of the town there reside two sisters named Hannah and Mary C. Ken ner. Between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock an en trance was effected to their domicile bv means of false keys, and the first Intimation the ladies had of the fact was their being awakened by two men In masks, who, standing over them, demanded Weir money. Hannah replied that they had no money, when the men threatened to blow their brains out If she did not accede to their demands. She then told them where they could find fss In cash. Secur ing this, they returned again to the bedside, and de manded the keys of a certain set of bureau drawers. These the Indies refused to deliver. The pistol was again pointed at them, when they Informed the bur glars where thov could find them. The drawers were then ransacked, and Ji'00 in city Cs, fiftoo in United States bonds, and a lot of silverware were taken therefrom. The burglars then returned for the third time to the bedside, nnd oneof them taking the cord from the sacking, tied the ladies.to the bed stead, and the two politely bidding them good morn ing, left with their plunder.

ARSON. A Darkey Amm tho Mamershln. Some time ago a (Quaker family residing near Ambler Station, on the Pennsylvania Central K11II road, seenred the services of a negro named Tommy Dare, aged about twenty-four yearn. In their gene rosity and kindheartedness, they admitted Tommy Into the family circle as though he were a son. Their continued kindness and many favors bestowed soon raised the spirit of Tommv, and he grasped the reins of mastership and ruled the domains and bis vassals like an auux rat Now this the Friend, whom we shall call Benjamin, did not entirely relish. He thought that, as a matter of course, since ho was the employer, aud not tho employe, he should have at least something to Bay. so calling Tommy aside a few days ago he addressed him thus: "Tommy, thee has not been a good boy or late. Thee has ruled too much aud too long, anil now, Tommy, I am compelled to say thee must leave." To this Tommy replied, "Ho wouldn't do nnmn of do kind'' until his mouth was up, and thus the matter tor the time wih dropped. Nothing further transpired nntlUast Friday, when, about 11 A. M., Benjamin's partner, Elizabeth, while seated at the tublo with Tommy, heard the crackling of some burning timbers, and, looking out or the window, saw that her husband's fine barn was on fire. Of course nothing could be done to Rave It, and in a few minutes whut onco represented vkhi was but a mere muss of smouldering ruins. Tommy, who had been In the barn but ten minutes before the dis covery of the fire, was closely questioned, but only sullenly replied that ho knew nothing as to its ori gination. Word wns telegraphed to tills city, and Chief Kelly Idetalled Detective Gordon (In the ab sence of Fire Marshal Blackburn) to ferret tho mat ter out. Yesterday Mr. G Tdon proceeded to the scene and put Tommy through a course of sprouts. At first Tommy defied the oltlcor and threat ened to knock his brains out, but to such talk as this Mr. Gordon was well used. Picking tip a heavy stick of wood, he said to Tommy that if he did not come down, he (Gordon) wnld furnish a Job for an undertaker. Tommy wilted so far aB to say that he hail made a fire near the barn to warm himself. This tho olllcer knew to be a false hood. An old Inily who had formerly been Tommy's school teacher In Maryland then entered Into con versation with Tommy, and by her kind words soon brought him to tears, when lie confessed to firing the barn. Detective Gordon then procured a conveyance and took Tom my before a county magist rate, who Issued a warrant for his arrest. He was then taken to Noinstown and lodged in Jail. On the way thither Olllcer Gordon advised Tommy to plead guilty, serve out his time, and return to the world as a reformed man, when, more than probably, Benjamin would ugain employ him. This Tommy with tears in his eyes agreed to do. HrwiLAitiKS About 1 o'clock this A. M., tho clothing store of William Slater, No. 4422 Main street. Fraukford, was entered by burglars, who forced open la back shutter with a Jimmy, and stole a lot of clothing. The inmates being awa kened raised the cry of "murder,'' when the rascals fled, leaving their booty behind them in the adjoin ing yard. Between 0 and 7 o'clock last P. M., the residence No. 4104 Spruce street was entered through a rear window, whilst the family was cnguged up stairs, and robbed of a lot of silver forks, spoons, and wearing appareK Brii.niKti Statistics During the month or No vemher there were 310 permits issued for the erec tion of dwellings, of which three were four story, 1t9 three-story, anil 138 two-story.

"The Gold Room was aftnin the sceno of feverish ex citunieit to'iluy over the fluctuations of thH pruoioos mot at I . The Rreatest commotion prevailed in alliaomur ketu, ana ut oDe time a punio seoiued impending in the Stock KxchanKe. Ah it was the day closed on an nn inentto dccliuo id stocks and a tovcrisb footing all round. The incident on which hinged the eicitement in tno Cold Koom waa u sudden suspension of the Governmuut gold sales. Marly in the day, upon tho auDouncemout ttiat no application had been made to Secretary Bout weil te st 011 tbose aules and that there waa no roa-nnn lor a deviation from liia programme, gold lont all the strength which it. bud gathered from the rumors of the evening previous snd declined to 131'u, at whicti and l'JIKt an immense number of sales were mado. At twolve o'clock the proposals were submitted as usual at the Sub Treasury, and nearly a million and a-hatf dollars hid for at prices ranging from l ju fC! to Ull i!0. The bids wore tola. graphed to Washington, wheu Secretary itoutwoll tolo- ;rai)lied luick to reject all below Stl' course all tiie litis of yesterday had to bereiocted. and Aasistant Treu. surer f'olger uiado the announcement at the Snli-Trea-sury. ilia effect upon the Gold Koom was slai tling. Tho 'shorts' made a rush to cover, under which gold rose to li. It tboo foil back again, but once more udvanoed and touched at its highest l.;i',i. closing finally at lil'i, under a reaction prooucea by the news that Mr. Kolger had asked for in structions whether be should otter to sell the gold to morrow. Tbe reject'on of the bills to-day produced great indignation, and a formal demand was made by one lirm for the golii they ottered to take, their prnHaition, aa being the highest, untitling them to it. This action was based on the assertion that in (be Government advertise ment the right to reject was oontinud to tbe proposals for the sale of bonds. Oi course no judicial action can force the compliance of the Tieaaury Department, aa the United States cannot be sned As to the reason for tins sudden determination o( Mr. Houlwcll, it is suggested thai he has yielded to the outcry coming from the merchants, who insist that the cont inued sharp deulineof gold will leail to bankruptcy and a general panic. 1'he exporters are more particularly the class ol business men wiio suitor from tho present crisis, and they have lieeu the most proiuineut in denouncing the policy of tbe Tretxury. As to tbe import ers, they sutler to the exlont thai they have already cov ered their contracts for foreign goods, it will he remem bered that the gold corner ol last summer taught the im porters a hitter lesson with reference to deterring their puymenU aud borrowing gold meantime, in tbe de sire not to be again entrapped by such a speculative combination, many of tho importers have doubtless been beforehand in buying their gold. To those men tbe decline in gold is ruinous. Hut to thoss wiio hsvo bougnt on long time and have already marketed ull or a portion of their foreign pur chases, the declin is the source ot great protit.Vi'ne agita tion aud excitement, in mercantile circles have evidently been tbe occasion of the order from Secretary Houtwell to limit tbe sales of (old to a certaii ligure. Wiluout wish ing to take sides with either of tile speculative parties in tbe (lold Koom, it isoaly truth to state that aff airs were in so critical a state this morning all over Wall street that the tale of the (jovernment gold ataiiveitised would have resulted in s general crash. Hindi is tbe opinion to night among busiuosa men, and whether the Uovormneut kept faith or not iu tiie matter the evil which waa so averted, whether temporarily or permanently, goes to condone tbe fault, if any there were. The great outcry to-oay from the tiuld Koom came from ttiose who sold gold winch they did not possess, and which tbeythonglit to buy at lower prices under the de pressing influences of the fiovernment sales. It is not certain that they will not eventually auuecoed, for as tbe popular feeling is all on the 'beat' side, and as tbe hanks areloadtd with gold, and as a heavy instalment of coin interest comes out on the market at tbe end of the month.it will not be easy to foment a 'bull' speculation. Some seem to take exception to the extravagance of the 'hear' speculation, aud point to tbe increasing clearances at the Hold Bank, where today tiiere were over forty millions, as a ign of the over selling of the market. ilut all this will only tend to make the decline gradual, which is tbe way specie paiiueut must be attained if the businese interests of tiie country are to be considered. The sales this morning of 'long' and 'short' gold before the rejection of tiie bids at the Bun Treasury were on an immense scale, and it is thought tbe clearances to morrow will be in the vicinity of seventy live millions. Of course this sum i small as oompared with tiie clearances just before the ex plosion last Sepi ember, but as tbe violii Bank hue been in renewed operation only eight or nine days, and as the first clearances were only about live millions daily, it shows the sudden growt h of speculation. "1 be fact that tbe (ioverninent has put the limit of 123 to its sales, and the probability that proosala will be in vited again within a day or two, encourages tbe hears to again assail the market, and hence, when tbe lirst excite ment had somewhat subsided, they again hammered the price, occasioning a decline late in the afternoon to 12'4'. Tbe transactions towards tiie close were quite limited iu uumber, and tbe market beeame dull and quiet, both aides sesmSjNI to be awailiug further development uetuie taking any OtwideU actios either way."
