that of the Beth-Eden Church was 197.
The reading of the letters was then postponed
Until the a'ternoon session.
The hour having arrived for the delivery of the
doctrinal sermon, the He v. J. Spencer Kennard, or
the Tenth Baptist Church, ascended the pulpit, and
alter the announcement and singing of a hymn,
read portions of the lirst and second chapters of the
Acts of the Apostles. A prayer was then offered,
alter which Mr. Kennard announced his text, which
was the 63d verse of the 0th chapter of the gospel
of John: "It Is the spirit that qulckcneth, the flesh
proliteth nothing."
The following is an abstract of the sermon :
It was the Holy Spirit brooding over the chsotio nui as
an eas e broods over its young, wbiuh ctuwd the divine
order and beauty of the world lo spring forth. Tin agency
of this Divine Spirit bas not yet been witnrir&wn Irom the
beautiful world which it bas created. It oontiouea to
guard over it and preserve it.
It is as well an unpliiiosophioal as an unohrii ian idea
to asciibe aDy agency to ioaninmto matter. It is only
through the Divine agency tiat the fruit and tlower is
brought forth. It is not the result of any divine system
which has onoe bten set going and is now continued of
itself.
'1 he human spirit has fallon out of harmony with God.
It bas fallen into sellishness, but the spirit of God bas
Dover desortod it. 'J bat Bpirit still broods over it to
guard it and to waken it to life again, (t is that spirit
that quickens noble actions, or they would die. Itjis that
spirit which quickenu the whole race, or the world would
to-day be draptd in tbe mourning weeds of the b'ackest
despair.
In the case of Samson, the Judge of Israel, It was the
cpirii ot tbe Lord which gave him bis supernatural
strength. The Scriptures expressly Bar that the spirit of
the Lord came npou him. His strength did not reside in
his flowing locks; and when, by mas en of his sin, the
spirit lied, his strength was found to have fled also.
It was the spirit which quickened the Ho'y Virgin, and
produced that holy thing which was born of God. And
ever since that holy birth, the same spirit has been over
all tbe affairs of man.
In all the actions of Christ we see the quickening action
of the lioly Spirit. In tbe case of his resurrection it is ex
pressly stated thst the spirit was tbe cause of the quick
ening action, and such alsj was tbe case in the Ascension.
Towards the close of our Saviour's earthly life we con
tinually see the action of the spirit. It opens his lips ia
the divinest prophecy ; and scaroely has bis bodily pre
aenoe passed away before his prophecy is fulfilled, and the
action of tbe spirit is ieen on the day of Pentecost. On
that day the spirit gave birth to tho Church. It than
caused three thousand souls to fall before tbe conquering
Christ. This was the inauguration of the spirit's mighty
sway.
That onr finite spirit should be able to communicate
with an infinite spirit is not so hard to believe as that one
finite spirit can communicate with another finite spirit
But tbe Holy Bpirit when approaching man Hnds no re
sponse. The human spirit is dead, buried in sensuality
and sin. Then the first operationof tbe spirit is the be
etnwai of life, even as the Saviour railed the dead to life.
This is not a creative bat a regenerative work. There
are no new faculties created in tbe human spirit, but it
only quickens and brings into active life those waioh
were before there but dead and useless. They are sealed
up in a death to profound that nothing but a power
equivalent to the power wbicb first cretd them can
bring them to life again. It is not tbe crettion of anew
man, but a change in nature. It is the awakening of the
s? hole spirit of man.
The man of God, through the Spirit, becomes perfect in
every good work. It is through' the Hpirit that we are to
be quickened at tbe last day. Tbe same Spirit which
raised up Christ Jesus will in the same manner raise up
our mortal bodies and quicken the spirits within them.
The quickening spirit is tie paramount necessity in our
life. There is always a neoessity for inspiration from some
bigher source. Tbe ancients appealed to all the ancient
deities. He who would point men to brighter worlds and
lead the way must have an inspiration from some higher
power or he can do nothing. Such an lustration will not
allow us to throw one grain npon the altar of vanity. We
do at times possess this spirit. Our minds at times are
Hooded with a supernatural light, and our words are quick
and powerful. It is essential that we should remember
that at such times it is tbe grappling of your souls with
theirs which produces the effect upon men. You cannot
conquer souls at long range. You must be among them.
Let us then draw upon this divine supply. Let ns have
our souls flooded with the diviat light. We soand to-day
in th focus of intellectual light, and yot we are very con
scious of the want of the Divine Spirit in our preaching.
Let us let our books alone for awhile and depend npon tbe
Hunt's work. Far be it trom us to disparage the use of
intellectual means in tbe administration of tbe word, but
without the spirit they are useless. 'Iho time is not far
past when the use of a long course of study fur the minis
ter was tojsidered as worse than unnecessary. This is
nowhere held save by the most ignorant: but are we not
in danger of falling into the opposite extreme,
litppy are the churches wbi have men who are
aonodly trained, but let no mark ot inferiority he put
npoa the one who has no college diploma. Beware lest wa
be righting against the Spirit of God.
The lesson to tbe Charch is. be rilled with the Spirit.
May we be inspired by the Almighty. Oar mission is not
the discovery of new truths, but the elucidation ot tbe
old. Tbe cripple and tbe blind are not now cured by our
command, but we bare greater miracles. When we give
tiie command "Awake to righteousness and sin not! " the
dead in sin do rise and sin no more.
At the couclUBion of the sermon the churches of
Angora and Beth-Kden were formally received Into
the association, (and the right hand of fellowship
was given to the respective pastors by the Mode
rotor. The assembly then adjourned until the afternoon
eessvon.

INFAMOUS.
A Diabolical Crime by the Pollce-The Book
of Hooka Outraced-The Holy Bible Hup
planted by the City Dlarest A Dodge to Evade
Prosecutloa for Perjury. .
A great deal has been said about the police force
or Mayor f ox. I ne memters constituting tins orga
nization have been. It was thought, charged with
every crime conceivable, but a matter leaked out
this morning that throws every previous effort made
by them for mercenary and political purposes into
Tii BtitidCe
It was no less than an outrage perpetrated upon
the Holy Uible, the book of all bookB, that anybody
other than a Ueaaocratlc policeman would hold sa
cred. It was well known In newspaper circles for
some time nast that the police or the oixtn district,
comprising the ttlxth and Seventh wards, were In a
thoroughly demoralized condition. A man had been
appointed in charge of this mob there Is no other
appellation by which It can be styled who was to
tally Incapacitated to assume control of so Impor
tant a station. He was a man who could be found
at almost any hour of tbe day in a drunken state,
and finally was removed, after nnmerous complaints
bad been entered, on a charge of disturbing the har
mony that had heretofore existed between one of
bis men and bis wife, and while in a state of obli
viousness caused by too much rum.
On his retirement the Mayor tletaufted one of the
best ottlcers whom he has appoiuted Higli Consta
ble (Jurley to take charge of this district. That
centleman repaired to the station and set to work
about reorganizing the force. He has worked night
and dav in the interest of the community, but has
failed to accomplish any beneficial result. He
labored zeaiousiy, ana auer aevoiing weeas tu tae
cause he gave up In disgust, and sigultled his luteu
tlon of reaicnlnir from the department unless he was
relieved from this duty. It Is impossible lor us to
state the result of the interview that ensued upon
that subject.
It was In this station that a man named Chambers
was recently substituted for a registration fraud
named BelUey, who, thanks to the eiforts of Itepuv
lican citizens, has since been recaptured aad held
to answer his heinous crime of attempting to tamper
with the ballot box. it was in this district tu.it
policemen were detailed to canvass the two wards
and hunt up all the votes that could be polled In the
interest of the Democratic party, whether legally or
illegally, as has been decidedly the recent Investiga
tions before i niiea Mates uoMiiuissioner ii.uuie.
And now It Is proven that to this district belougs the
crime of tampering witii tne uiuie. Why this stcn
liglous work was performed can be best imagined
bv our citizens, they remembering that we are uoon
the eve of a most important election. This Infamous
act Is conclusive thut the Democratic police force is
capable of commuting any crime, no matter how
heinous.
The facts of the matter are few, but they speak
volumes. The City Commissioner oy law furnish
every department of the city with a opy of the
liible, and it is obvious why such a book is useu
in our police stations, where the committing magis
trates ftinnose of the numerous arrests that have
been made by the police. In the Sixth district such
a volume had been placed, and upon it, for suoces
slve vears. Alderman Samuel 11. June has. adiulnis
tered the uual oa'h. "You do swear that you wul
tell the troth, the whole trutli,".et 3. Keceutly he bas
noticed that tbe edges of the book looked a little too
clean, and, having his curiosity excited, he untlel
the strinir with which It ts usual to bind the book
together, ajid he there discovered that the entire
biblical contents uan been removes ami an on copy
of the "City Digest", substituted, riucli care hid
been taken to make It correspond with the original
book that the digent had been artfully cut down to
suit the covers. His dismay cau well be imair'.ued,
ami be Immediately replaced tae document with a
genuine voluuiv.

to Take Part
By a rurfnt act of Congress the sum of 129,000 wa
approp Ut . I to the Department of Coast Survey for
the ptitpi of fitting out an expedition to make ob
eervatioi - t the December total solsr eclipse. This
takes p eon December 21st, and Is visible only In
Europe. Tbe most favorable points are on the Medi
terranean. The United States expedition is in charge of Ben
jamin Pierce, aaperlntendent of tho coast survey.
He will be accorapanted by Professor Wlnlock of
Harvard University, Professor C. A. Young of Dart
mouth College, Professor Edward O. rickerlng, P.
11. D., of Iloston. and by several others well known
In scientific circles. Professor Morton, lately of
Philadelphia but now ot New York, an authority on
eclipses, Is Interested in tbe expedition, but he Is
not yet able to sav whether he will be of the pany or
not. A portion of the observing party will sail on
October 13th, and the rest on November 8d. The
destination Is Malaga, Spain.
It was at 0 rst intended to (recall a United S'ates
Government vessel from the Atlantic squadron,
which was to have been used by the party of obser
vation, but the occurrence of the European war has
interfered with this plan, the presence of all the
vessols being required in other localities. The party
will go out by the Cunard Hue.
Mr. O. H. Willard and his assistant, Mr. Jerry Ma
honey, photographers, of Philadelphia, have re
ceived and accepted the appointment to superintend
the photographic observations. These gentlemen
were engaged in tne same capacity last year witti
the party sent to Burlington, Iowa, by the Nautical
Almanas Department. The solar photographs ob
tained on that occasion have been pronounced the
most perfect of any which were obtained of that
eclipse.
Much care nas oeen taken to procure goon ann
complete photographic and astronomical apparatus
for the use of the expedition. Tvoyerv larga equa
torial telescopes, arranged witti the unesi adjust
ments and clock adjustments, ana witn a perfect co
incidence or viiuai and actinic focus, have been
expressly manufactured by Alvln Clark .V Sons, op
ticians, of Oambndgeport, Mats. The younger part
ner oi tins nrm accompanies tne expedition.
it is acknowledged by an that the pnotograpntc
and scientific results obtained by the American ex
peditions from the Nautical Almanac Department
la8tyear were far In advance of those obtained by
the English, German, and French parties scut here
for the same purpose. It is to the credit of Congress
that they have lately taken some Interest In science,
and that their appropriations have been more
litierai man tnosc or otner countries, uur scientiuc
men have made the best use of the appropriations
tnus put into tneir nanus.
Thk Dkaf and DrMB. The large number of citi
zens assembled at the Horticultural Hall last evea
lng to listen to the address commemorative of the
virtues and services of Abraham B. Hutton, late
Srincipai or tne Pennsylvania institution ror tne
ear and Dumb, evinces the deep interest which
tnis community takes in tneir cause. Among tnose
present we noticed Governor Ward, of New Jersey,
General Patterson, Mayor Fox, the Hon. Joseph it.
Chandler, the Hon. A. V. Parsons, H. C. Cary, Esq.,
etc., etc We ar gratlHed to learn that the Direc
tors of the Institution have adopted measures to
ascertain exactly the whole number of deaf mutes
in the Mate, and that they have It in contemplation
to erect new and enlarged buildings on some suit
able site.
It Is delightful to contemplate how the condition
of the deaf and dumb has been ameliorated, how
their education has been advanced, and their sphere
or usefulness enlarged, uur own institution has
already produced two distinguished artists. Mr. Al
bert rewsams was pernapi tne nnest ntnograpner or
heads the country has produced. John Carlin is a
celebrated ".miniature painter, and also a por
trait painter. He now resides In New York. Ue
has just finished a portrait of the late Mr. Hutton,
painted foi the institution.
It is true, as the Abbe SIcard said, that there are
more dear mutes among the poor than among the
ricn. but none are exempt from this calamity. At
one time there were in the Pennsylvania Institution
the great grandson of the Illustrious Thomas Jeifor
son and the grandson or James Monroe. All are
tnererore interested in sustaining tnis nomo cnarity,
for none knows how soon he may stand in need of
Its benefits. We think many of our citizens must
have been surprised at the large number of deaf
mntes at the hall last night
we think our brethren or tne press throughout tne
State wonld do an act of kindness by making known
the Immense advantagesour Institution Is bestowing
on tne neat and numn.
Attempted Robber At an early hour this
morning two youDg men, named (eorge Moore and

The President and the War.
Special Despatch to The Evenuxg TtUgraph,
abhington. Oct. 8. The TreBident to-day. In
conversation with General Steinwehr and Simon
Wolf. Recorder or Deeds for this District, made allu
sion to the paragraph in the N. Y. Tribune purport
ing to give the substance of a conversation between
himself and the Tribune correspondent relative to
tbe Prussian war.
The President told General steinwenr that the
purported conversation was a fabrication from be
ginning to end. He had never expressed the opin
ions attriouted to him about the war between France
and Prussia. Ills sympathies had been from the
erst with PrKssia. and he saw no reason to con
demn the policy of King William. As far as deve
loped, with regard to fans, ne inougni 11 would
fall the same as Vlcksburg fell when It was fully
invested and besieged.
The President authorized General Steinwehr to
deny the Tribunes report, as It misrepresented
him and did him Injustice.

House to-day, nearly all of whom had Interviews
