Tne synod renamed Its deliberations this morning In the church on Eleventh street, below Urean, com mencing t 10 o'clock, Moderator Richards In the chair. Previous to the resumption or the regular business tot the'synod, the various numbers assembled in trie charcAi lor oevotlonal exerclBea, ttte Moderator con ducting the same. After the calling of the roll, the minvtes were read and finally adopted, after a few alterations suggested by Dr. Musgrave, la regard to towing an explicit statement la the minutes of the old presbyteries, of which the newly-constructed ones are the legal successors. The Secretary stated the matter would be cor rected by a revisory committee. He subse quently made a motion, which was adopted, amend ing the minutes In regard with the wishes ex pressed In regard to the matter of legal succession, A resolution was adopted appointing a committee to prepare standing rules for the government of the synod, to be reported at the next convention of the Bjnod. The Moderator appointed the following on the committee : Kev. Dr. Rice, Kev. Mr. Moore, and Kev. Mr. Patterson. Kev. Dr. Rice moved that when the synod ad journs It adjourn to meet on the third Tuesday of October next, at half-past T In the evening, the place for meeting to be hereafter decided upon. In fixing upon the place for the convening of the Bynod, a discussion arose upon the various places proposed Honesdale, Wayne county, Scranton, and Wilkesbarre being the favorites. Scranton was at last decided upon, that locality being the most convenient for the majority of the members. Kev. B. C. Logan, of Scranton, by request, then appointed a committee of the Scranton members to make arrangements for the convention of the synod, at that place, In October next. Kev. S. C. Logan then spoke in favor of his motion made last evening, but which was not acted upon, constructing the Presbytery of Montrose out of the .1-. .1 I) .1 fw.l Unllllran M'nrrtln Urnm1n UUUUUVa Ul xIOAUUm, uuui.au, juci IT JwiiilUK, and that portion of Luzerne county north of Wilkes barre Mountain. In opposing a separation of the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys from tne preaoy terv as DroDOsed. he said that the above-named val leys are being rapidly filled np, owing to the great development oi me coai mines in iqchh vaiieys. Rev. Mr. crane, though having no objection to a larce oresbvterv. vet believed that the one proposed bv Re. Mr. Logan was entirely too large. Some parts are almost practically inaccessible to pastors llvlDg in other parts. The country Is very moun tainous. There are few railroads, ana most or tne travel will have to be performed on norsebacK. Mr. Crane, in favoring a division, spoke of the newly de veloped coal-llelds extending from the northern part of Sullivan county into the southern part of the county of Bradford, fire long that region will be closely populated, and will of Itself be large enough to constitute a synoa. The anestlon was further discuBsed by Rev. Mr. Armttrong and Rev. Mr. Miller, of Montrose. After further discussion by Rev. Mr. McClintock, Of Wilkesbarre, and otners, me previous question was called by Rev. Mr. Fisher, but the Bynod refused to second it. A debate then ensued upon a motion made by Rev.

Pike, and the township of Nicholson, in Wyoming county, and Luzerne county, north of Wilkesbarre Mountain, be organized into one presbytery, ami the counties of Bradford, Wyoming, and Sullivan be made into another. The discussion was then resumed upon the three propositions before the synod, Judge Jessups, of Montrose. Mr. Steininetz, Kev. Mr. lllckey, and others participating, in accordance with a resolution to that effect the debate on the resolutions before the synod was cloned at 12 o'clock. The synod then came to a vote. The resolution of Rev. Mr. Fisher was laid upon the table. A vote was then taken on the substitute offered by Rev. Mr. Logan. The suDstitute was auopteu. The renort of the Judicial Committee, Kev. Mr. Stewart chairman, was submitted. In the matter f the complaint of the Third Presbytery against the Luzerne Presbytery, the report auvises tho adoption of a scries of resolutions reciting in substance that inasmuch as the presbyteries between which the dilllculty occurred have now ceased to exist, therefore tne wnoie suoiect, witn an tne docu ments connected therewith, be referred for action to the Prehbyteryof Lehigh, that body being the most competent lor ine settlement oi uie question. Rev. Mr. Logan moved to dismiss the whole sub ject The motion, after considerable debate, was voted down. The report was adopted. A report of a committee appointed to condense into one article thejvarlous resolutions In reference to the legal successions or the new presbyteries, was read and adopted. The balance of the session was occupied in the discussion oX the miscellaneous business of the synod. SCHUYLKILL NAVIGATION COMPANY.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations agreed to-day to report a substi tute for the House Cuban resolutions, which are rosarded as very strong, covering the whole subject, and giving everything hut Deuigerent ngnts to uurmns. ine nrst reso lution declares that the people of the United States can not bear with indifference reports of Cuban barbarities perpetrated on the Island of Cuba in the contest now waging mere Deiwnen npam ana unw. ine uniiea 8tates protests against these outrageous barbarities by both parties, and denounces them as contrary to the lawe of civilized warfare. This Government sks that they may be stopped at once. Mr. riamner, cnairma. or tne uommiitee on foreign Relation, reported a aeries of resolutions as a substitute for the House resolution in relation to the contest be tween the Uuban insurgents and the Government of Spain. He asked the immediate consideration of the report. The resolutions of the committee were read as follows : Resolutions declaring tne sentiments 01 tne people or the United States concerning Spain and her island colo nies lying in American waters: ht'oli-nl. That the people of the United States cannot hear with indifference the reports of ths barbarous out rages whieb roach tbem constantly from the neighboring island of Uuba; that they protest against the repetition of auch acts, whet her by the bpamso Government or by the insurgents seeking independence ; that they denounce with indignation the shooting of captives taken with arms in their hands asa violation of the nrst principles of civili zation, and contrary to the precedent happily established on the North American contineet, and in the name of humanity they solemnly insist that these things shall cease. hrmw'a, mat tne people or tne united states are pained to hear that the pretension of property in man is still upheld in the inland colonies of Spain lying in Ame rican waters ; that onman oeings endowed by nature with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are held as slaves ; that instead of terminating this preten sion at once the Spanish Government propose to protect it for an indefinite period by an impossible system of gradualism ; that such a system is justly offensive to all who love republican institutions, ana especially to the people of t he United States, who now, in the name of jus tice and for the sake of good neighborhood, ask that lavory shall cease at once Haolcrd, That the United States, being once colonies, achieved their independence as a nation by suooessful re sistance to the Knropean power claiming to govern tbem, and their example was followed afterwards by the Spanish colonics on the American continent, all of which have achieved independence likewise. That alreadv the same aspiration ior independence begins to stir in tne neigh boring colonies of Great Britain ; that these instances in harmony with the spirit of the age teach, that the day of the Kuropean colonies in this hemisphere has passed: that impressed by this conviction the people of the United titAta regret to witness the extraordinary efforts of the bnanish Government by violence and blood toimaintain ,U9 unnatural juiibuiviiuu ill vjuu&, luiumuva uy tag fireat taw 01 progress, ana nosine to tne Dost interests 01 tnth nsrties. Hfwh'nl, That the people o the United States declare their sympathy with thoir follow Americans in Cuba, strangling tor lnaencnnence. and at tne same time tneir sympathy with the people of 8 aln in their present efforts for liberal institutions in tneir own ancient land, and tney call on this people, as their first stage in reform at home, and for the sake of peace, to recoxnize at once ths right of Cubans to govern themselves; that they make this appeal with (inoere good will to the people of Hpaio, anil with assurrance that the justice they do to others will redound to their own happiness, welfare and renown. Hrwrta, I hat toe President of the united states is charged with the duty of communicating these resolu. tions to the Government of Spain. Mr. Casserly said, in view of the great importance of the subject, be objected to its consideration nntil the resolu tions were printed. Mr. Sumner said the resolutions had been thoroughly f..n.iHi..n ; n ..i....iil,nn mrtA (tint M l'.....l. .... - member or the Committee on foreign Kelatlons, knew the fact. Mr. Casserly refused to withdraw bis ohiection. ana the resolutions were laid over and ordered to be printed. Mr. Stewart moved to take up the bill to prevent the enforcement of Chinese coolie contracts for servile labor. Mr. Casserly gave notice of hi. intention to amend the bill in some of its very objectionable features, and asked further time tor tne pnrpoxe. Mr. Stewart remarked that each day's dolav lesssned the probability of passing the bill, while these Chinese im portations were increased. Mr. iiayard referred to the importance of the question as occupying the attention of the best minds of onr dav. He thonght the introduction of the Chinese element was too recent for any reliable deduction as to the conse quences likely to ensne. He thought such differences would better adjust themselves by being let alone for while. Mr. Stewart finally agreed to withdraw bis motion tem porarily. Mr. Wilson said the Senator from Nevada (Sir. Stewart) was forced by the objections made by Senators on the other side of the Chamber to let the bill sro over, hat hA hoped he would call it up to-morrow, or as soon as possi ble, and press it to a vote. The time for action bad anrely come when Congress should arrest this importation of ser vile labor either to take the place of the emancipated men of the South or the workingmen of the North. He was opposed to casting a drag-net over the world, and gather ing up the degraded portion of mankind to lower the rice ot labor, ana degrade tue workingmen ot the United States. Mr. Stewart's motion was then withdrawn. Mr. Sherman moved to limit the debate on the amend. ment to the Tax bill to five minutes to each member. Mr. A. ti. Tburman objected, as the bill was the moit important and comprehensive of the session. Air. bnenuan considered bis motion justinea oy tne rapid approach of the end of the session, and said he would press a vote on 11 to-morrow. At l l.i the Senate resumed the consideration of the bill to rednce taxation, etc, the question being npon the sec tions relating to the income tax. House.

Passed. 1 be llouBe then took up as the unnmsned business of yesterday, t be Senate amendments to the bill to provide tor the apportionment of representatives to Congress among the several States. Toe question, being on Mr. Judd's motion to concur, on which he moved the previous question, Mr. Marshall appealed to his colleague to let Dim oner an amendment. Mr. Judd declined to withdraw the previous question Mr. Marshall honed the previous question would not be seconded, as it waa an outrage to pass the bill in its pre sent form. Ibe previous question was not seconded yeas, 75- nays, 87. Mr. Marshall then offered an amendment providing that in the election by general ticket of two or more members in one State, each qualified voter may cast aa many votes for one candidate as there are representatives to be thus elected, or may distribute the eanie among the candidates as he may see lit, and that the candidates highest in votes shall be declared duly elected. He regarded the bill in its present shape asa violation 01 a republican gov ernment, ana as a irrots outraice mu uie ueuuie. Ha would not undertake to argue the propriety of re pealing the present mode of electing member, bv single olBinuia, biiuuu;ii u wa launuvu w uoiiotv mi system of free or cumulative voting waa destined to super sede it. Under the cumulative synteiu no party machinery or party trickery or fraud could deptiye minorities of the voice they were entitled to in (electing representatives. The correct not of the principle was unquestionable, and this was an opportunity of testicg it and putting it in nitlicA.t.inn. ror instance, iner wouiu ue lure, memoers to do elected on general ballots in the State of New V ork where there were six hundred thousand voters. Under the Dre- lent sybU-m there those three members would all be of the same party, and consequently, parties being made equal, some Io0,uuu voteia would be unrearasen.ed. and consequently practically disfranchised, but if the system which he vropoaed ware adoo'eJ. the minority Icould agree lupon one man for whom it oouia case in its vote, as ii is, uo voter nal to vote ior each of his three candidates, whereas under the plan pro posed be could cast bis three votes tor one mm. 'J his would insure the representation of the minority. He arcued at some length in favor of his proposil ian. Mr. Cox advocated the amendment and stated the ar guments on which the prinoiple was baaed. Mr. iiarneia aiso advocated it. auuouiin lis confessed to little hope of seeing it adopted. He quoted various facts in support of the principle. He believed that its adoption woulil give a strength and impetus to represen tative government all over the world. M r. N ihlack was opposed to any system of apportionment mat would maae tne nuoner 01 members over 2.10. rue House was nnwieldly enough with its oreJent number. Mr. Ha ldeman declared bis adhesion to the prinoiple ef cumulative suffrage or full vouoir.sj the ore-tout avatarn was becoming mors and more unpopular and the Congress resulting from it mora and more degraded. Within two dais, this House, which had created a certain set of con stituencies In the South, had felt itself compelled to over ride practical law and refuse to receive the worth repre sentative of a fitting constituency Should the amendment of the gentleman from Illintia be adopted, many of his objections to ine increase of the number or Hepreaenta. tives to 3P0 would ba obviated. Mr. I allin opposed the amendment as one Involving the most important rights of the people, and as not having been oonaidered by a committee, but sprung upon the House as the proportion of one me oilier. He also opposed the increaaeed representation provided for in tb. donate amendment. Mr. Smith (Oregon) sustained ttie amendment, and mentioned as a practical illustration of the prinoiple, the fact that in the late election of the judiciary of New York the minority waa allowed to seleot one-third of tue number. Mr. Cox mentioned a. a further illustration of it the faot that in the election of the thirty twj delegates at large to the New York Constitutional Convention, eauh voter was allowed to vote only for sixteen delegates ; that was at least an approximation to the principle. Mr. Wood snuiteated that the boat and easiest thing to badone in the matter was to uou roucur in ths senate amendments and let the whole subject go to a good con ference committee. Mr. Judo was opposed to the engrafting of the principle on this lull, and advocated the propriety of equalutug representation by increasing the number of members as proposea in tne 11111. Mr. Binifhain opposed the amendment offered bv Mr. Marshall on constitutional grounds, the people of each State having toll ooutrol of tue matter, wituout iutiiutl iug that it would sot be wise fur tne people to adopt tut very plan.

Th t-eal question seemed, he said, to be lost sight f, an A that waa whether there should be an apportionment flnerthan once in ten years. This bill proposed a reapportionment in eight years. 1 nat was one qwnuo wniua ne wisueu to nave considered by the Judiciary Committee. Another ques tion was whether the appoi t ionment should not be made by Congress itself. Dot by a mathematical agent, the Secretary of the interior, as this bin proposed. Another question to be considered was that embraced in the amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Marshall). As to the argumont of Mr. Bingham that 1 his billwas required to do justice to the black voters of the Sout h, he said that Instead of giving them power tor self- protection and real representation it would only change the power of the men who bid wronged and oppressed them. He remembered that at the close of the war, when ever any great wrong was to be done ia the House, it waa done in the name of the soldiers, and now that that was played out, whenever any fraud was to be perpetrated it was to be done in the name of the blacks. Mr. Hale argued in favor of the motion of reference. Mr. Latlin inauired of Mr. Judd whether toe House did not on January 18, 1H70, after a full discussion and in a full House, defeat a bill of a character like this by a vote of 64 to 104, and did net afterwards in a thin House, without notice, without discussion, after tne same had been pri vately engrossed, contrary to ail precedent, pass such a bill by 80 to 84. and did he call that rroper. deliberate. manly leg'slation? Mr. .lucid replied that tne nrst vote was on an indepen dent bill, and was taken at a time when the House knew that the same nice question was contained in the census bill then pending. Subsequently the sections in the bill to wtnon the question applied were strucK out, wnicn maae it necessary for him to introduce a similar bill, which was discussed, and which was pasxed by tne Mouse, rta argued that a reteienceor the bill at this period 01 the session was tantamount to its defeat.

From the Louden Daily TeUijrepK The report tbat Mr. Charles Dickens had been seized with an apoplectic attack on Wednesday evening, ana naa since remained unconscious, reached London yesterday, and was followed briefly by the sad news that he died at 6-10 last evening at Gad s Hill, his residence near Rochester.

Mr. Dickens replied, "No, no, no; I have got the toothache, and shall be better presently." lie then asked tnat trie window mignt oe snut; and almost immediately he lapsed into unconsciousness, from which state he never recovered till the moment of Ms death. Meanwhile Mr. Frank Beard of No. 41 Welbeck street. Mr. Dickens' regular medical ad viser, was tciegrapnea ror, ana arrived at uau's 11111 in the course of Wednesday evening. He saw at once that the case was hopeless ; but, for his own satisfaction, as well as for that of his relatives, he summoned tne assistance 01 nr. misseii ltcynoms, who could only concur In Mr. Beard's belief that nothing less than a miracle could save the life of their patient. For the last two or three days Mr. Dickens, al though not apparently out of bis usual health and spirits, naa complained or a nuncuity in aoing nts work, saj lug that it did not come spontaneously to mm as it usua to come. Air. unaries uicKens tne younger was telegraphed for on Wednesday eve nine, but the message did not reach London till yesterday morning. He started Instantly for his latner s residence, ana was present at tne ueatn-bed. with two of his sisters, Miss Hogarth, and the medi cal attendants. It Is a significant fact that when, lust year, Mr. Dickens was suddenly seized with illness at v rcston, nis doctor warned mm not to read, at the pern pr his life, and brought him almost Dy iorce 10 town. ,- "The Worst of these Railroad Accidents." From the London Daily Jfeto. The day of his death was, strange to say, the anni versary of the Staplehurst accldeut, in which, it will be reniemoereu, ne was in great pern, and from which some or tnose nearest to mm consider he re. ceived a physical shock from which he never really recovered. Tiie menus in tne nauit or meeting-Mr. iiickens privately recall now tne energy witn which he depicted that dreadful scene, and how, as the climax of his story came, and Us dread Interest grew, he would rise from the table and literal iy act the parts of the several sutTerers to whom he had lent a helping hand. Now that he is gone It is remembered, too, with absolute pain. mat one 01 tne nrst surgeons or me aay, who was present when this Staplehurst story was told soon after its occurrence, remarked that "tho worst of these railway accidents was the dilllculty of de termining the period at which the system could be said to have survived the shock, and that Instances were on record of two or three years having gone bv before the life-sufferer knew that he was seriously mill, nut tne meaicai testimony as to tne immedi ate cause of Mr. Dickens' death Is dutlnlne and nreclse. AnoDlexv an effusion of blood on the brain, the cause an overstrained system, and the re sult one which was only staved off twelve months ago, when ne was induced to obey nis doctor s in junctions and to suspend his readings In public has carried bun away at a comparatively early age, and all that remains to his sorrowing friends Is to recall with affection the many traits which made this great man so lovaoie.
