Wmted mectlnjt or this society wm held latt evening.
Wince, the Vwt report wm rmidlRhed lhr hv been
dde.d to the library B06 books and pamphlet, many
f them of jrreat vaine, l)r. Kaiwhftiiberiter an
nounced to the society that Hftr-Admlral Charles
Htewart, a corretipoadinfr. memler of the society,
wore (reiverally known In l'hllivliHphu. as Gommo
lere Hlewart, died t his residence, In Bordentown.
N. 4., on the 6th f November, In the ninety-second
ear of lilsaire. Admiral Ktowart had dlwdianrort. all
Is duttea wits credit to himself and with advantage
and honor to the nation. His official conduct in the
early period of onr navy eontrlbuted largely to Its
renown. Though the flhts la which he participated
were with pins of very small calibre, compared with
hose hi o in those modern times, they demon
atratedto the world, which then regarded ns as a very
feeble vwwor.thatthe United States could produce men
of conrapa aud skill in naval warfare unsurpassed
bythone f any nation. But the Admiral was not
more eMFUnKulnhed by his personal bravery and sail
tical i4)l than by his good sense.; Dr. liiischenberKer
misted that early In July, lHtw, Admiral Htewart,
whanilMi met In Third street, neur the Kxchanffe,
tisurd tiftt at the outbreak of the Rebellion a gi-n-Umnked
him, In behalf of Secretary Welles, his
vhrwiv about the beat means of effectually blockading
r Mmithern coast, and that ho advised against a
B.ir.latatlon of Mocknde, because blockade Is a war
ture, and would Justify foreign nations In recog.
gsilxini; a claim of the Hebels to belligerent right.
.That the object ft the Government could bo as well
jsattained by cloning the Hoiithern ports as ports of
entry, as It had -a right to do, by proclamation, and
rthen stationing ships so as to seize all vcssols au
tempting to enter them. lint the- blockade was pro
claimed, and tho result which he foretold followed.
No lietter evidence of the activity of his mind In ad
vanced age frail be desired, lie had then almost
completed hlf, voth year.
Among the articles of Interest contributed to the
society Is a line old clock, ouo hundred and thirty
live years old, from Airs. Mary Ellet, a venerable
laxly of nearly ninety years of age. In a letter ac
conipanyliig the gift Mm, Kllet says that "the caso
was made by my grandfather, who presented It to
his young wife early In the lust, century. It remained
with the family a favorite article of furniture until
1776, when It. was presented to their daughter (my
mother) on the day of her marriage to my father,
and continued In their possession until the year
Ihol, when It. was given to me on my bridal day, as a
family heir-loom, to be valued for its antiquity. H
has been In my possession sixty-nine years, and has
beon a true and valuable time-keener." i
present It as an humble gift to the IHstorlcal Society
of Pennsylvania, in the hope that It will be accepted
In remembrance of past, generations who valued It
for services rendered during the lives of many who,
all but myself, now rest, in tlielr graves."
A portrait of ieneral E. P. Gaines was presented
by Henry Carey Ilaird.
Messrs. W. 11. llorstmann A Sons contributed a fac
simile of their building, woven In silk.
Charles B. Dunn presented a finely executed por
trait of tho late JohnUrtgg, an eminent Philadelphia
merchant, painted in lSbii.
During tho evening a novel specimen of Indian
Instrument, styled a "medicine drum" was pre
sented, accompanying which was the following
letter:
lion. John A. Wallace, President of the Historical
Booietv of Pennsylvania .ear Sir: It gives mo much
pleasure to present to t ho Historical Society, nn behalf of
Hrevet-Colotiol L. Henry Carpenter, loth U. 8. Cavalry,
the Indian medicine drum winch I solid herewith. In
Heptemlier, Colonel Forsyth, of General Slioridan's
Ktiitf, while investigating the country in the neighborhood
ef the Republican river, in tho northwestern portion of
Kaneas, was suddenly at lacked by a body of Indiana esti
mated to number over llRHI. forsyth, whose command con-fust-od
of about Ml experienced acnuts, in a tight which was
probably the most desperate ever long-lit on tho plains,
succeeded niter three days in driving his enemies olf. He
was, however, in a sad plight; every horse had been killed
nnd more than half of his party had been either killed or
wounded. X orsyth himself had received two wounds.
Unable to move, ho remained iu this sit uation until ho was
relieved by Colonel Carpenter, mere than a week
alter he had been attacked. During this time
his command bad avbeisted upon horse lleah, which, when
Colonel Carpenter found tliein, had crown putrid. Within
a few mile of where Colonel Forsyth was found, the body
of an Indian chief was discovered by Colonol Carpenter,
which afterwards proved to be that of "Roman Nob-," the
Inrincipal chieftain of the Northern Cbeyennea. Hosido
inn was found bis "medicine drum," hie siitold, and other
implements of war. Contrary to the usual custom with
the Indians, that of disposing of their dead by leaving
them on scaffolds, tiie bialy ot "Koiiian Aose'1
waa found wiapped in line skint and in a
wurwam mado of the whitest and best
of buffalo robes. He had made himself articularly con.
epieuous during the tirnt day's litflit with Forsyth. Taking
a position on a Hill in tbo vicinily he harangued his war
riors (ind beat bis drain, so near to rMirsyth's party that
his speech was understood. He urged the Indiana to bo
brave. He called upon them to remember that his medi
wine would protect them lniiutlie bullet snf the pnle-faees;
that the Indians were many and tho white men few. The
time bad arrived to puniti the white men for disturbing
their hnntinKKrounds. While thus engaged a bullet from
one of Forsyth's scouts killed him. and his companions
carried his body to the place where Colonel Carpenter
nfderwardB found it.
The Indians lurked in the neighborhood until the arri
val ot Colonel Carpenter with hn wuilrn of cavalry,
when they disappeared- Tim "medicine drum" is to tho
Indian most sucred. Ho regards it Willi the croateit su
parst ilion, and it is seldom that one falls inji the ba nda
if white men. Yours, vor truly und rospectml'v,

The case of Assistant Assessor Moret was con
tinued this morning In the United States District
Court, Judge cadwaladcr.
Mr. Valentine, Assistant Dlrtrlot Attorney, com
menced the argument for the prosecution. The act
of COBgress was read on the subject of the removal
of distilled spirits from a bonded warehouse, without
marks or brands. Mr. Valentine then said : '
The prisorer Is charged with ao remoing or aiding and
abetting in the removal of apints. At a certain time live
barrels of whisky, without marks or brands, were receieci
by this Moret, who was then an ohicer of the United
Ht-atea. One aasesanr brought the wttisky and another re.
oeived it. 1 he testimony and ctiaraeter ot a Hoverninont
witness had been asoaileil. Five witnesses had bona called
try the defense to blast the cliaracfer and testimony of Mr.
Brooks. They had hve witnesses to prove the good char
aoter of the prisoner, and four for general purposes -four
teen in all. They were a beautiful crowd. All of a kind,
except perhaps Linderman. Their chief witness. Adam
I'lfliiK, proclaimed his infamy nn the stand. He had no
hesitation in saying that he had sworn falsely for money.
The testimony is plain tha Iletecfive brooks could
see to write In the cellar, which was denied by tne defense.
Several witnesses had done the asms thing in the cellar at
a Inter period, when there waa less light on account of ad.
aitional surrounding buildings. It has ben proved that
conversation In the parlor could be overheard in the oel
lar, when enrried nn in an ordinary voice. When Brooks
overheard Moret, he was speaking in an excited voire. It
bad been conclusively shown that oeople iu the store could
be anen from the keyhole. Of tbe four witnesses wbo
testily to the conspiracy, only one, Mr. Alexander, is of
any account. If this one ie behoved, nearly all the Govern
ment witnesses am false.
Ceneral William McOandlnae then argned for tha de
fense. Tne motive for the pereoution of Moret by the
'Witnesses liarto and Keller, waa attributed to their deaire
to clear themselves from en indictment which is now
pending in the city of Heading. 1 he jadge remarked, and
told the jurt that, both ef these witnotaia wore Inlamoux.
and no word that either of them had uttered was wortoy
of belief
Tbe tab or bole nnder the floor of the room was nothing
out of tho way. K.vory rectifying house has such an ar
rangement, which is necessary to the procesO for rectify
ing. The testimony of Brooks, on which the wnole caso
for the Unit ed Mates depends, is biased bv the fact that
he Is ti receive part ot the tine which will be levied in
case the prisoner is found guilty.

A Hai-tford paper has tho following Incidents of a
Ore at Merldeu, Connecticut:
The First National Hank was in groat danger, nud
it was thought best to remove all the money and
papers to the vault of the Homo National Bank. The
removal was effected under the direction of
Chief of Police Beach, the notes and scrip being
carried out in a heaped-up oasket. a roll oi notes,
amounting in all to too, rolled oil the top of the bas
ket. Homebody shouted, "You're dropped some
thing!" and it was picked up by the police and
pitched Into the heap. The police had their staves
readv to knock down any Intruder who should
attempt to grab. They removed about half a million
of property In notes, bonds, aud deeds, aud not a
single cent was lost In tho operation. A watch-dog
whose life had been spent In watching the premises
of Williams A- Smith, whose entire establishment
was burned, refused to leave the store, aud neither
threats nor coaxing could get him our. lie was
dragged out at last and taken to au adjoining livery
stable, but he stole back again. He was again
rescued, and again escaped, aud retreating to the
cellar, delled his pursuers to follow him. Shortly
after, the building fell in with a crash, and old dog

Mr. Morrill (Me.) annonnced the death of William
Pitt Fessenden, late Senator from that. State. His
loss was I he occasion of a great public sorrow to the
people of that state, and of a sense of bereavement
to the nation. In ail the positions so worthily filled
by him he was distinguished for skilled and graceful
oratory, and lor the comprehension and maturity of
his opinions.
The class of questions which arose simultaneously
with his advent, to the l Senate afforded an opportunity
for the exhibition of those powers of analysis, logic,
and Invective which had rarely been surpassed.
Whatever might Ue said tif his constitutional conser
vatism, he was, by the native simplicity of his tastes,
his education and habits of life, and, better still, by
his enlightened sense or Justice und hatred of wrong,
always an able und fearless advocate of civil and
religious liberty.
His influence upon the'policy of the country during
Its eventful struggle was conspicuously, thoroughly
anti-slavery in sentiment, tie constantly opposed
any compromise with slavery. His success and in
fluence were by the inherent energy of his mental
constitution. Not a theorist, nor attracted by novel
ties, his character rested upon tho granite basis of
a lofty public virtue and private Integrity.
Through all his public life there sliiiies the lustra
of a noble manhood and disinterested devotion to
worthy ends aud aims. In conclusion, he submitted
the usual resolutions of respect for the. memory of
the deceased, and that the members of the Senate
will wear the customary badge of mourning lor
thirty days.

Killed IIliimcH Tor I.ovc.
Yesterday afternoon a Frenchman., named Louis
Henri Charbonnier, committed suicide at No. lo
Laurens street, New York, under temporary insanity.
It appears that at about 2 P. M. Odlcer Agnevv hud
his attention called to the room, aud kicking it in,
found the man suspended by means of a stout cord
attached to a peg firmly driven luto the wall. De
ceased wits about thirty years of age, tall in stature.
l''or some time he had lived alone in the room. He
whs a jeweller, employed at. Tiilany's. Some of the
lodgers on Friday evening heard him driving a nail
with some force, evidently the ono winch subse
(lueutly aided Ins transit to eternity. Since then no
attention had been paid to his rooms, until his step
father and otner minutes yesterday sought an en
trance, when he was found dead Disupjiointed love
Is said to have been the cause of the rush act.
Are the Fenlnn Moving t
For months the Fenian headquarters In New York,
In West Fourth street, near llroadway, has presented
a busv appearance. Workmen have been actively
etuploved in the manipulation of Kuflcld aud Hpriug
fleld rules into needle-guns, and large quantities of
mysterious boxes ami bales of army supplies have
been arriving aud stored. About o'clock on Satur
day tho work of emptvlng the storehouses com
menced. During the entire day trucks wore em
jiloved, under the supervision of Ceneral O'Nell, in
carting away the contents, closely packed In boxes.
A great niunv cases of what are believed to be re
peating carbines were also shipped. The most sin
gular transaction of all was that all the trucks, on
securing their freight, took different directions, pro
bably to meet at some common centre. This may lie
the inception of another expedition to assist tho
Canadians in throwing on" the British yoke, or it may
be a little diversion to put them to the expeusu of
another "Fenian scare."
Indiana Divorce.
Tho Chicago Tribune makes the point, which a;i
peiirs to be a good one, that the statutes of lndlaua,
while they authorize a divorce "for any cause which
seems to the Judge to be sufficient," still require
that the plaintlif shall have been a & fide, resi
dent of the State for one year. This is invaria
bly construed to mean that he shall have come
Into tho State in the course of his ordinary
Interests, and not lor the purpose of getting a divorce.
"The last is mrWa jhle." As it is admitted by Mrs.
McFarland aud her friends that her visit to Indiana
und sojourn (in the family of Ice-Presldeur, Colfax)
iu Mooresville wore solely for tho purpose of pro
curing a divorce, after which she went away, this
construction of Indiana law invalidates the divorce
even in that State, aud leaves the lady without legal
ftuttiB anywhere as tho wife of the late Mr.
Richardson.
