(hnrlre II. Smythe, the "Block Crook"
PnrJer.l
The New York Sun of this morning has the
following:
Tbe Presbyterian Presbytery of this city and
vicinity convened yesterday in the Eleventh
Street Church, to try the Rev. Charles B.
Smythe, its pastor, upon charges offered by
John Roeenborough and Harmon C. Henderson.
The court organized with the Rev. Dr. Findlay
as Moderator, and the Rev. Dr. Armstrong as
Secretary.
After the Moderator had offered up a prayer,
and the court had been made ready for the trial,
a petition of the members of the congregation,
praying for the dissolution of the pastorage,
was offered, which, after some discussion, was
laid on the table for future action,
t The Secretary read the charges, as follows:
The undersigned hereby complain to the First
I'mlted Presbyterian Presbytery of New York, and
charge that according to an article published in the
New York Hun of date Monday, April 11, 1870,
Charles B. Smythe, minister and pastor of Eleventh
Street United Presbyterian Church, was, on Sabbath
day, April 10, 1870, guilty of the following misde
meanors, to wit:
First. That after he had finished the sermon he
called together the six reporters who were present,
and asked them to take some refreshments.
Second. That "then he led them to a well-known
Honor and refreshment saloon in the avenue near by."
Third. That they passed In by the private door."
JJFourth. That beefsteaks and oysters having been
ordered he turned to the reporters, and asked them
What they would drink.
Fifth. That their orders having been given, he
himself requested the barkeeper to bring him "some
Of the same."
Sixth. That "this turned out to be gin and milk, of
the former of which his reverence took Ave lingers,
swallowing the doRe with evident relish."
Seventh. That "the viands having been disposed
of, all arose to leave, and Mr. Smythe, turning to
the barkeeper, carelessly requested him to hang
that up."
Eighth. That "the barkeeper, who seemed to know
hfin, said all right, and the party passed out and
separated."
Your complainants hereby think that the facts
mentioned in the foregoing allegations involve a
breach of the fourth commandment, as contained
In Exodus, chapter xx, 7th to llth verse; and they
respectfully submit that if these facts should prove
to be true, the said lie v. Charles B. Smythe ought to
be censured.
Mr. Smy the in his accustomed ultra theatrical
style then read the following answer, which, as
will be seen, acknowledges the truth of tho en
tire article as published In the Sun, with the
three immaterial exceptions that the bar-room
was not on Third avenue, that there were only
two reporters present Instead of six; and that
he did not use the expression "hang that up"
when he told tho barkeeper to charge it to his
account, or words to that effect. As for his
denial that he took "Ave fingers" of gin, we be
lieve that is the usual expression for a "quarter
of tumbler," the quantity testified to by the re
porter of the Herald:
For answer In this cause to the complaint the
above-named defendant says that the complaint, in
the language In which It is framed is untrue in
every particular, and respectfully requests the Pres
bytery to pronounce judgment accordingly upon
them as they appear in the dally newspaper on
which the complaint is based, and to acquit him of
all the charges in full. But the defendant forther
eays that after church on Sabbath, the tenth day
of April last, he went to a respectable hotel on
Broadway, ate a beefsteak, sipped some gin and
milk, from the former of which liquids he had
about six teaspoonfuls according to the best of his
recollection, and a pot of black tea for lunch; that
on the same occasion there were two gen
tlemen with him members of the press who look
a plate of oysters raw each, and one of them
a glass of ale, the other some gin and milk, the same
in quantity as the defendant took ; that it being the
Sabbath day defendant did not pay the bill, but re
quested the cashier to make a note of the amount
and defendant called and paid the bill the next dav
Defendant iurther says that he resides four miles
from the cnurcn; mat, rorasmucti as he teaches a
Bible class there at 8 o'clock, it was not possible for
mm to go home to ins mncn ana come back in time ;
and that, being much exhausted after preaching.
and after a very busy week, he lelt very much in
need, physically, of such a lunch as he took. And
as to his having company with him on the occasion,
be believes that when the attendant circumstances
ball be snown by the evidence, the Presbvterv will
consider them sufficiently extenuating to render
that fact excusable, and nones ana respectfully re
quests that accordingly no censure shall be passed
upon mm tnereior. uuaklks ju. buy tub.
May s, A. D. 1870.
The Moderator read from the Book of Disci
pline that "if any portion of facts are proved in
the charges, be enau oe guilty ana punisuod lor
that portion. "
The Rev. Mr. Armstrong said that if the facts
were true, the charge of Sabbath drinking
ehouia be aaaca.
Mr. John Stevens, a Herald reporter, having
been called as a witness, testified substantially
1 was present at tne cnurcn on the lUtnot April
to report the sermon of Mr. Smythe on "Adul
tery, ana its proper punisnment; atter tne 6er
, vices I asked Mr. Smythe to let me look at his
notes, as I wished to read Blackstoue on the law
concerning adultery, which had been alluded to
by Mr. Smythe; he asked me to go to laneh
with him. nnd said that 1 coma nave Ms notes:
I did not hear Llm call together any number of
reporters; we went out and proceeded down
Ihird avenue, where Mr. r. r. .baton, a tsun re
porter, overlook us and asked Mr. Smythe for
permission to reier to his notes lor historical i
data; Mr. Bmythe said there would be j
some difficulty in taking them in the Btreet, and
asked him to go with ns to lunch; we then went
on to Broadway on or near Eighth street; he did
not inform ns where he was going to take ns:
on reaching Eighth street we went into a hotel
On the Elgyth fstrtfct side; no attempt was made
..- to enter surreptitiously; we went into a private
room, the waiter followed us. and Mr. Smythe
waved his hand, and said: ''Order what von
please." Mr. Eaton then ordered a glass of "ale,
J some oysters, and Mr. Smythe a beefsteak.
Afterwards he ordered some gin and milk, and,
when it came, I ordered Borne too, because it
was a new drink to me. We had some conver
sation about nationalities, etc. There is truth
underlying the article in the Hun. Mr.
bmythe had a fatigued look; could not Bay
whether It was natural to mm or not; air. omyiue
took a quarter of a tumbler ot gin.
Mr. P. T. Eaton's testimony was purely corro
borative of the foregoing; bat Mr. Eaton added:
Mr. Smythe and I came out together ; he spoke to
tho bar-lceeter in reference to the bill, though 1 did
not hear what lis said ; k did not pay for the re
freshments. Croes-xamlned by Mr. Smythe At the Sun office
I casually mentioned to the city editor, in the pre-
MuCe 01 jar. bkvcui, wuu uau vtuou w get iua uu-
final manuscript, the circumstance of our being
- treated to oysters, gin and milk, and ale : and then
left for home ; the next raording, Instead of my re
port, the article upon which these charges are based
appeared ; 1 thought Mr. bmythe looked fatigued
wh'le we were In the private room eating our re
freshments, The prosecution here rested their case without
examining the barkeeper, who was in court.
Mr. Smythe had hoped that a medical gentle
man would be present to prove that gin and
milk was a necessary beverage to his health.
Mr. Rotborough, for the prosecution, made
some comments on the evidence, and thought
that tbe charges had not been substantiated.
Mr. Smythe spoke next in his own defense,
and spoke of the laborious natnre of his work
during the week previous to the 10th of April.
He spoke of the rebnke which Christ gave his
disciples In the corn-field on the Sabbath day
after they had plucked the ears of corn, and
considered that he was justified under the cir
cumstances. Dr. Harper remarked that the article as it
appeared in the Sun had been colored to some
extent, but the facts had been substantially
proved. Mr. Smyth had acted very imprudently,
and his condnct was calculated to do harm to
the cause of Christ and the Church. He thought
that some disciplinary censure should be admin
istered. The Rev. Mr. Trlss highly commended the
witnesses for the straightforward statements
they had made in view of no law requiring their
attendance, and agreed with Dr. Harper that
the charges were substantially proven. So did
Mr. Robert Harper, the Rev. Mr. Thompson,
and Elder McKay.
A committee of three, consisting of Dr. Har
per, Mr. Robert Harper, and Elder Isaac McKay,
was then appointed to review the evidence
and to report to the Presbytery this morning at
9 o'clock.
THE DELUGE.
The Great Utonn at Buenos Ayres The Great
est Hurricane or Modern Tlinea (Streets In
undated Plazna Turned Into Lakes Cafes
Under Water People Drowned In the Street,
An Awful Scene.
The Buenos Ayres Standard of March 11 gives
the following particulars of the great storm,
reports of which have already reached us by
telegraph:
On Wednesday, the 9th of March, one of the most
fearful storms ever experienced in the Klver Plate
burst over Buenos Ayres. The afternoon was
rainy, and weatberwise people saw a regular
"temporal" setting in from the southeast. Mr. Louis
McLean and others refused to allow their boats to
eave the mole with passengers : nevertheless, some
had the temerity to venture, and we learn that a
boat which left about 4 P. M. for the Villa del Salte,
with a lady and two gentlemen, was capsized
and the passengers were drowned. At the
time Captain Peel made great efforts to pro
cure the steam launch Baby, to go aboard
the Tycho Brahe, which was to sail the
same evening for Liverpool, but the risk ol going out
twelve miles deterred everybody from the attempt
A passenger who had left for the Tycho Brahe some
hours before, and was unable to reach her, turned
back, and met the boat, capsized, In which the lady
and gentlemen were lost. Mr. McLean had des
patched a boat with some sheep at 8 A. M., which
reached the Tycho Brahe safely, and then seeing
the storm coming on saueu ior tne xigre instead oi
trying to return to port. As the evening closed in
the storm Increased, the rain began to fall in tor
rents about 5 o'clock, and many of the streets were
flooded with two or three feet of water ; this became
a deluge after four hours of
TUB MOST INCESSANT DOWNPOUR,
and some people lost their lives in carriages, trying
to cross tbe Tercero. At the corner of Sulpacha
and Cordoba a coach was carried away ; the coach
man escaped, out tne passengers anu norses were
drowned. At Calle Llbertad and Cuyo another
coach was carried down by the current, and the
driver and his horses drowned. At Calle Defensa
the current washed away a child, and some other
casualties of this kind are reported in the south end.
Some or our friends resident at Cinco Esqulnas had
to make a detour by the Calle Rivldavla to get home,
the Recoleta omnibus having broken down at 630,
and the streets become dangerous to cross. The
ODce Setiembre omnibus coming Into town at 9
o'clock found a rapid stream at the corner of Pledad
and Uruguay ; the driver plunged In, the 'bus was
carried down 100 yards and thrown on its side, two
of the horses being drowned, and the passengers
(eight in number) forced to get out through the win
dows and scramble or swim to the sldewa.k. Three
corpses were picked up yesterday in Calle Uruguay,
but they were probably either horsemen or foot pas
sengers brought down by the current. The Northern
Tramway had three horses drowned. In Calle Para
guay a coach upset; the coachman was drowned,
but some ladles inside were saved. The rainfall was
THS MOST DREADFUL EVER KNOWN.
The algibes were soon filled, and the water flooded
all the lower rooms of the houses in some places to
the height of three feet. We hear of floors having
given way In many houses, and In one case the occu
pants of a room narrowly escaped falling Into an
old well or water-closet under the floor. The houses
near the brewery In Calle Bolivar were under water
to the height of three feet, and in those streets ad
jacent to the Tercero the inhabitants were all but
drowned. The Plaza Parque was a navigable lake,
and the Cafe del Parque was Inundated. About 10
o'clock the rain subsided, and the wind began to
blow with tremendous force, coming In gusts.
and causing some of the highest houses to
Bbake. At 11 P. M. It was like a hurricane, and
continued with more or less fores till 8 In the morn
ing. The captain of the bark Damon says it was the
most fearful gale he ever experienced; It blew so
hard that be could not stand on deck, and the water
washed clean over his ship; his anchors could not
prevent him from dragging about 120 fathoms. Her
Majesty's ship Cracker rode it out well, having fore
seen tne storm oy tne ran oi tne glass rrom 29 1)0 to
298 when the storm began; four ships drove past
her, but did no harm. The whaleboats were carried
about in every direction: one was seen to go down
with two men aboard, and of the seventy-two lost or
aground it is believed many of them bad one or two
men auoara.
COBPSES PICKED CP.
The scene which presented itself yesterday at
daybreak is beyond description ; nine corpses were
picked up on the beach, three at the foot of Calle
ban Martin, ana others are reported, nut neea con
firmation. THE SHIPPING.
The shipping disasters reported at Maxwell's Com
mercial Rooms are as follows: Italian gunboat
Princlpessa Margarlty, formerly the Osorlo, ashore
at the gas-house: steamer Emilia, with hay for the
army, ashore at Pobre Diablo, with stern smashed
in. Steamer Cavour sunk, crew escaped to a
lighter. Two schooners aud a polacre, one
of them a German vessel painted green,

of Calle Choreas and Tnckman. Several whale-
boats sunk. Dutch schooner Maria Haydorn lost
bowsprit. Portuguese bark ditto. German schooner

lost musin aim riggiug.
JUS LOSSES.
The storm lulled about SAM. yesterday, and at
daylight the river was again calm. The passengers
for the Tycho Brahe and Captain Peel went aboard
about 10 o'clock, but the wind again freshened at
noon, and blew hard a gale. While we write it Is
still blowing vary hard, but the sky has cleared up
and the weather seems to promise to be fine.
THE STATE 'TREASURY.
Mackey Gives Way to Irwin.
On Monday, says the Harrisburg Patriot of
yesterday, It. v. Mackey, Esq., late State
Treasurer, retired frem the ollice which he
filled during the pa6t year, and his successor,
General W. W. Irwin, was Installed in his stead.
Mr. Mackey carries with him in his retirement
the best wishes of his numerous friends. What
ever may be said of his management of the
finances of the State, all must admit that he was
a courteous and obliging officer, and faithful at
all times to those who adhered to his fortunes.
General Irwin takes charge of the Treasury
with the highest expectations on the part of
Chose who elected him. that he will rive general
satisfaction in the discharge of his official duties.
We doubt not that under his administration the
financial Interests of the Commonwealth will be
prudently, honestly, and economically managed.

THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
Tbe i3reat Caisson Ptnccesefwllv Sunk.
New Tork has got the start of Philadelphia in
building its bridge, the initial performance in
which task is thus narrated by the Evening Post
of yesterday:
The work of depositing the great East River
Bridge caisson on the Brooklyn side took place
this morning. It was towed by four steamers
from the shipyard of Webb fc Bell, near Green
point, at an early hour, and laid upon its bed,
adjoining the Fnlton Ferry slip, at 12 o'clock,
in jpreeence of a large crowd of men and women.
The caisson Is a gigantic structure of heavy
f ine timbers, each thirteen inches In diameter,
t is fifteen feet in depth, one hundred and sixty
eight in length, and one hundred and two feet
in width. The bottom timbers are laid solidly
together, but the two upper layers lie three
inches apart. It is not a solid mass from top to
bottom. 1 here is a large chamber below, and
an engine on the caisson was perpetually at
work to force air into the hollow space and
expel the water, in order to keep the mass afloat
until it should reach its destination.
A dock had been built into which the caisson
precisely fitted. The structure was covered
with iron cabooses, loose timbers, and human
beings, and was hauled quietly into place by
means of ropes and capstans.
The ground upon which it rests was five feet
below water at low tide in the middle of Feb
ruary. It is now thirteen feet below, and, at
high water, eighteen feet. The bottom, which
was composed of clay, gravel, and large boul
dere, has been dredged. To render it loose and
easy for this process, piles were driven, and into
the holes thus made shells were deposited and
exploded. Many of the boulders were over ten
tons in weight, and were destroyed by explo
sion, through the means of divers. This work
was prosecuted at night. The cost of thus
clearing the ground has been about $35,000.
It might be thought that a basis of solid rock
would be preferable for the caisson, but rock is
to be found only at a depth of ninety-seven
feet, and the present foundation will be equally
firm.
Now that the caisson is in place, excavation s
will be carried on below it, until it is sunk seven
feet deeper, and, at the same time, eight layers
of transverse timbers will be piled upon it. It
will then be precisely even with the surface of
the water at nigh tide, and from that level the
granite masonry work will begin, as a basis for
the great tower of the bridge.
Operations were carried on to-day with great
ease, under the superintendence of Mr. Rocb
ling, the bridge engineer, and Mr. Bell, the
constructor of the caisson. Another caisson
will be built at the close of tho coming sum
mer, and will bo deposited next fall at Pier 21),
on the New York side.
PATER PATRLE.
Fragment of an Unpublished Address by Wash-Inaton.
Charles Lanman, the compiler of the "Dic
tionary of Congress," writes as follows to the
New York Evening Post from Georgetown,
D. C.:
The subjoined fragment of an unpublished
address by Washington has recently come into
my possession, and I send it to you for the edifi
cation of your readers, tne two pages ot tuo
original are numbered G9 and 70, and so far as I
can learn this is all now remaining of an address
that was delivered by the first President after
the adoption of tne federal constitution.
Although Incomplete, the style and sentiment
are eminently characteristic of the author:
"a great necessity for the same Indulgence
to the unintentional errors that may be discovered
in my administration, which I have experienced on
former occasions ; but if my former conduct would
not Induce my countrymen to count upon my future
attention and fidelity, 1 could not hope that any ver
bal assurance of mine would be of more avail. Let
It, however, be remembered by us all, that we are
not come up hither for our own pleasure or emolu
ment, but In the sight of God and men, to act
disinterestedly, and to render benefits to
our country. Although we should meet with
an ungraiemi return, sun let us work cheer
fully together for the public good. Let us
rise early, late take rest, and eat the bread of care
fulness, until we shall have wrought out our coun
try's political solution. For tbe attainment of this
eua let us not tninK any moor too great or any sacri
fice too dear. You kuow there was a time when
your capitalists would manfully have seconded the
attempt, although It might have required a post
ponement of personal Interest and local policy. We
may not flatter ourselves that we are yet beyond the
reach of danger. It is to be dreaded that an
111 disposition should produce jealousy jeal
ousy, discord discord, sepaiation separation,
ruin. If, after all the hopes and expectations
which we have fondly entertained, the
Union should be destined to an immature dissolu
tion by some unuatural parricide, let us at least be
guiltless of Its blood. In tbe name of your suppli
cating country, I charge you then to beware, lest In
the bust of zeal for carrying some favorite point you
suffer locality and resentment to obtain the ascend
ancy of patriotism and reason. You ought to con
sider those who lately opposed this constitution as
brethren who only differed from you In sentiment
on a great political question, and who are now
equally entitled with the rest of tbe citizens."
.
Respectfully, yours, Charles Lanman.
Another Heavy Bond Operation.
Another daring bond robbery was perpetrated
yesterday morning in New York, on the person
of a respectable gentleman named Benjamin N.
Clapp, stopping at the residence of bis son, No.
22 VVest Twenty-fifth street. He entered the
office of Vermilyea & Co.. on Nassau street, and
from there purchased $5000 in United States
bonds. While paying for the bonds he laid the
latter upon the counter by his side, when some
adroit thief quietly picked np the package and
retired with his plunder unobserved. Two of
the bonds $1000 each are numbered 222,513
and 159,291.

The report of the conference committee on the Oensns
bill waa piesented, explained briefly by Mr. Oox. and
afTbe o'ivil Service bill then came np as the business of
tbe morning hour. .,-,,.,- i.
Messrs. tiokulburg and Cobb (Me.) briefly expressed
their spproval of tbe general principles of the bill.
Mr Maynard argued against the bill aa removing the
civil service further away from the control ot the people.
He would not asy that tbe preseut system was lault
lehs, but he deemed thst tbe Government was not any
worse served by its officers and clerks than private insti
tutions were, lie believed that there was muoh more
fraud perpetrated by cashiers, bookkeepers, clerks, con
ductors, ticket-takers, and employes of banks, railroad.,
and other private oomlienies, than there was by Govern
iiient eroploies.
Mr. Peters ssid be was opposed to the bill yesterday,
and waa more opposed to It to-day, if it were a piece of
machinery to be confined entirely to the clerks in tbe De
partment at Washington. He might vote for it, though
even as to them be thought there was more machinery in it
than was necessary, that there was too muoh horse
power of steam in it for the cart that it had to draw.
He believed its application to tbe omosa outside of
Washington to be impracticable aud impossible. This
bill covered all the deputies of assessors and collectors,
all the deputy marshals, and ail tue clerks of United
btat.s Court and be wanted to I now whether the as
seuors, collectors, snd judges could not judge bet er of
tne fatness of their appointees than tbe proposed commis
sion of three white cuukered schoolmasters who ceuld not
possibly know anything of tceir character or practical
klMr!jenckes. Suppose a colloetor means to be a thief,
Who ought to appoint his deputy 1
Mr. Pet.rs.-1 ue President must look after tbe oelleo
tor. This bill does not undertake to look after the col
lector. ......
Mr. Jenckes. Certainly it does.
Mr. Peters went on to srvue that the merchant and the
collector were better qualified to jodge of their clerks and
assistants tlias any travelling board of commissioners
ciuld possibly be. These commissioners misht examine
men as to th sir knowledge, etymology, syntax, and pro
i iiu. bnt how were thev to know about their oharaoi-er.
their honeaty, or their practical fit ess? He objeoted to
the bill because it gave three covmiaaioners the entire
pstronageef too unitea Btetee. e oojectea to Be
cause virtually it appointed men to em ce for life.
It tnis lui were pxwoOj wnat was to oe uone tun
tends of erippled soldiers who filled or eonld fill civil
offices with reasonable aptitude, bat eonld not pass ex
aminations in etomology, syntax, or prosody? As tsthe
(itficeetn New York, he knew that that city was an excep
tion to every otber place. Nothing short of tbe hand of
Almighty God oould improve things there.
Mr. bingham (Ohio) opposed tbe bill on constitutional
and practioal groaads. It won Id limit the ar ointing
pcw.r of the Kxeeative to the will of three commissioners,
sad withnwt their consent neither the President, nor
beads of departments, Boronerts eonld appoint anybody
to office. Vreretbeee oommisaioeere to he olothed wit h
power to say that no man show id be eligible to civil offioe
unless he was skilled in the higher calculus f It was
a bill to create aa aristocracy, a privileged class, in the
face of that provision of the CosiHtitation thst neither
the United States nor any Bute that shall oonf er a title of
nobility.
SIHe mentioned the ease of an examining board which
ad rejected a young soldier applying for a place In the
Tree ry Bureau because he oould not answer a onset ion
in sstronem. Hesetd that the whole Sf stem waa an ab
surdity, for the world had found oat long ago that) even tbe
Stat bor of the "Mechanism of the Heavens" did not prove
himself a very skilful man in civil aft airs when called into
the connoilsof the first Nspoleon. He did not care how
many preexee the gentleman (Mr. Jenckes) procured to
trumpet the excellencies el his bill, it eonld not be sna
eeesfnlly defondod. for it was in oonfliot with the spirit
and letter of the Constitution.
Mr. Paine opposed tbe bill because it would prevent
the bead of a department from dismissing an incompe
tent clnrk withont the consent of the commission.
Mr. Niblsck oeposed it is an attempt to do by legisla
tion what could only be brought about by healthy public
opinion.
ItT he morning hoar having expired, the bill went over till
to-morrew. SC
The Honse then, at 1 J 4fi, went into committee on the
Tariff bill, Mr. Wheeler in the chair, the pending para
graph being that aa to steel railroad bars.

The banks which make their semi-annual
dividends in May and November have published
their reports, which we give below, together
with the dividends declared in November last.
It will be readily seen that the percentage of
dividends varies very little from that made la
November last. The Union is the only one
which Increases its dividend from 5 per cent, to
6 per cent. The Southwark makes a dividend
of 8 against Vi in November, and the Kensington
12 against 13. Without a single exception, wo
are glad to notice that all the city banks are la
a flourishing condition and enjoy the confidence
of the business public:
