TROEULE IN THE MEDICAL COL
LEGES.
Quite an excitement was created last week
among the Phila. Medical Colleges, by the
effortsof the male students to prevent the fe
male medical students, who number about
50, front attendanceat the Pennsylvania Hos
pital clinxs. There have never been any
female students in attendance at these clin
ics heretofore and the male students claim
that they bought their tickets for the course
of clinics without any notice or knowledge
that female students would be admitted.
They further affirm that there are many im
]>ortant ca-es upon whiSh it would be high
ly improper to operate in the presence of
loth sexes and that the presence of the wo
men therefore necessarily deprives them of
an important part of the instructions which
thev ha\e been accustomed to receive and
for which tiiey have paid. They further
claim that the female students have a Hos
pital of their own where they can obtain
lectures and witness clinics without embar
rassing the lectures or committing impro
prietics. In consequence of this state of
things the male students demanded that the
females should not be permitted to be pros
ent at the Pennsylvania Hospital clinics.
The managers of the Hospital, however, sig
nified their intention to stand by their first
decision and admit the females. The males
then declared their intention to stay away
from conies Neither party in our estima
tion is wholly right, nor is either entirely
wrong. We believe that female medical
practi'ioners a;e greatly needed and that
they should ! e afforded every facility for pro
curing the necessary instruction. At the
same time we agree that many cases are
treated at clinics that it is not proper should
be treated iu the presence of both sexes,
sut we tliiuk that a little reason aud com
mon sense on both sides would enable the
parties so to arrange the clinics as to enable
certain eases to he treated at such times as
to afford both sexes the needful opportuni
ties to acquire necessary information without
br ing guilty of any improprii ties. We are
certainly in favor of the education of female
physicians and think they wilt supply a want
greatly felt in every community. But we are
inclined to think (hat fiolhndta hnyv been
somewhat in error in this case.

A TEituiiti.E railroad collision occurred on
the Western Pacific Railroad on Sunday
morning last a few minutes after nine o'-

collided with a Western bound train of four

to pieces and driven through one another.
Fpwards of fifty persons are estimated to be

THE Pennsylvania Central Railroad is
constructing forty new cars to be run between
Pittsburg and New York. The Reading
Journal gives a graphic description of these
beautiful travelling boudoirs. The feauture
most acceptable to the night traveller, so
long demanded and so much needed, is the
the fact that each car will be lighted with
gas by means of the compressed gas cylinder
used for lighting the Reading Railroad ears
so successfully for ten years yast. When
ru3y we look for gas in the night cars be
tween New York and Washington, and be
tween Philadelphia and Washington? Con
gress is just about to open, and crowds take
this train in preference to (he day. The
bright light afforded to passengers on tho
other great roads would be a special provi
dence to the person forced to evening travel
between the capital and tlie great cities of
the North.— The Press.
PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.
The work of formally reuniting the two
branches of the Presbyterian Church, known
as the Old School and the New School, was
con-mraated in Pittsburgh on Friday the
12th inst. The reunion promises to greatly
increase the usefulness of this large, rich
an! influentiai branch of the Christian
Church. The vote for reunion by the Pres
bvteries of the New School was unanimous,
and among the 144 Presbyteries of the Old
School only three voted negatively. The
fo'lowing is the basis of union adopted:
"The reunion shall be effected on the doc
trinal and ecclesiastical basis of of our com
mon standards. The Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments shall be acknowledged
to be the inspired Word of God, and the
only iufiillible rule of faith and practice.
The Confession of Faith shall continue to be
sincerely received and adopted as containing
the system of doctrine taught in the Holy
Scriptures, and the government and disci
pline of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States -hall be approved as contain
ing the principles and rules of our polity."
The reunion of this powerful body and
the consolidation of all her energies will
largely enhance her usefulness and give re
newed energy and zeal to her ministry. At
a time when the call comes up from every
corner of our whole country for workers in
the go-pel field, to come and help stem the
tide of wickedness and crimo that seems to
be sweeping like a flood over the whole land,
we hail with joy this consolidation which
will infuse renewed power, strength, zeal
and energy into the ranks of all her mem
bership. May this be but the beginning of
good things for the Presbyterian Church,
and the highest hopes for good of all her
[ people be more than realized, and may otb
| er churches and especially the LutberaD
| which is now so unfortunately divided, soon
follow her example.
CUBAN MATTERS
Our Government lias, probably, advices |
from some authentic sources of considerable \
interei-t regarding our relations with Spain
and Cuba. Within a few days several of
1 our efficient naval vessels, including the
Miantonomah and Swatara, have been or
dered to prepare for sea, and the Albany has
been ordered to load war material and sta
tioned on duty in the West Indies.
There will be shortly forthcoming from
Cespedes' agents, in this country, a general
petition invoking public sympathy with the
cau.-e of the Cubans, and imploring the in
tervention of our Government in their be
half.
The document referred to affirms the reso
lution of the revolutionists to su-tain their
chief in his manifesto, declaring the de
struction by fire of the cane fields of Cuba
to be a meesrity, and sets forth in figures
the loss to this country—to both govern
ment revenue and the pockets of our mer
chants. They put the amount of customs
duties we would lose upon sugar and tobac
co tt $25,000,000 annually, and the loss of
trade to our merchants and manufactures in
provision®, machinery, etc., at some sls,
000.000 or $20,000,000 more.
Tbre may be a deal of truth iD the peti- |
lion of the Junta, and its facts may have |
had much weight with our Government. |
The Junta at New York and in Washing
ton have been incessantly laboring in be
half of tit, ir cause, with what success we
shall probably learn in the early part of the I
approaching session of Congress.
ft may be that the President and Secrc- 1
tary of the Navy expect suclf Congressional j
action as may require a strong naval force S
in Cuban waters, and are thus deliberately
preparing for an exigency.
The cau-e of Cuba at home does not at
present look encouraging. The last advices ;
from the island tells us of a deci-ivc victcrry
for the Spanish troo;>s and a general retreat j
of the opposing forces, with s loss in killed j
of one hundred and fifty, including several '
prominent officers.
Since the overthrow of the rebellion in
Sarago-sa and Valeotia quiet has been re
stored in Spain, though a nuralter of Prim's
adversaries, who retreated to Lisbon, are
said to have armed themselves, and are or
ganizing for further opposition. The mer
chants of Madrid have promised the Regen
cy material support in quelling the Cuban
insurgent®, agreeing to furnish ten thousand
troops by December.
Tue war ekiud over Cuba is growing dark
er. When it is broken and dissolved, what
the condition of the Island will be is a ques
tion which is exciting attention, particularly
in this country, lit us far, President Grant
has preserved a strict neutrality. He has ;
defeated almost every attempt to filbuster, :
and has failed to encourage, by his official :
ac'ion, the Cubans at home, and their rep- !
rescntative Junta here.
The actions of our Government officers '
during the excitements of the past year
have been in accordance with a s.nse of
national justice, aud in obedience to inter- !
national law. We have confidence in Gener- 1
al Grant's Cuban policy for the future, aud,
no matter how soon the crisis may arrive,
we believe he will recommend DO action that
will not prove creditable to himself and nec
cs-ary to the public welfare.— The Day.

Hindoo Visitor*.
Their Object in Coming, and Project* for
il<* Future—Opportunity for American
Enterprise.
The coming of two Hindoo travelers to
New York is a circumstance of importance,
since it is not caused by any idle curiosity of
travel, but by the earnest attempt of the
great Indian empire to establish direct com
munion with us. Hitherto the trade of that
wealthy country has been completely in the
grasp of England, so that there is but one
American house, that of Messrs. Bastow &
Co. of Bombay, trading directly. Messrs.
Mooljie Thackersey, and Toolsidass Jadavju
express the greatest astonishment that a
people so entepriiing as the American
should have traded entirely with Hindu
merchants through English channels, since
in ail the large cities of India the American
name is known and respected, and the
' flower flag," as the Hindoos name the
Stars and Stripes, is accorded unusual wel
come. And it is to exp'ain this and to open
the way for future direct commerce, that
these gentlemen have visited our shores.
They are both merchants well known to the
European communities established in India.
They arrived in England well furnished with
letters of introduction from the principal
merchants of Bombay, surveyed the chief
object of interest in that country and then
embarked for America, their ultimate des
tination. During their stay in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel they have visited at least 50
of our leading merchants, to whom they
had letters, and have created much astonish
ment by their easy manners, and perfection
of English Both are clothed in European
style with the exception of handsome Turk
ish caps, from which circumstance has
arisen the impression that they are Turks.
The younger, Toolsidass. is about 24 years
of age, and a perfect English linguist. He
is a Brahmin, that is, of the priestly caste,
who are forbidden to eat anything that has
breathed the breath of life, to touch any
thing polluted by the hands of an inferior
caste, or even by the shadow of a passing
man, to drink any water that has not been
drawn in their own vessels. Consequently
lie has lost his caste, and on his return will
be an outcast from among his Brahminical
brethern. But as the Brahmins are now dis
pised by everybody, and Toolsidass is
wealthy and received on terms of perfect
equality by the English, this will be a mat
ter of little consequence to liim.
Mooljie Thackersey the elder, who, by a
misapprehension, was styled a Parsi, is of
the Banian or merchant caste. The Hin
doo faith is also very -triet with these, and
this gentleman has also by his travels eating
forbidden food, and especially beef, and
flesh of the sacred animal, put himself out
of the pale of the Hindoo religion. The
Banyans arc principally worshipers of Shira,
but they are highly esteemed, are very
wealthy, and form the bulk af the Hindoo
money-lenders, though the Parsis dabble
also in that business. Their influence is
great, since there is hardly a village through
out the Bombay presidency where the riots
are not indebted to some wealthy Banian
money-lender who holds a lien upon the
growing crops.
These gentlemen say that the interest felt
in American affairs in India is very great,
and they instance that at the death of Pres
ident Lincoln there was scarcely a newspa
per printed in the tbiee principal dialects of
Hinuoostani, Devanaguri, and Gujrati,
which did not, equally with the English,
publish an account of his assassination, with
short memoirs of his life. American affairs
are curiously scrutinized in India, and these
subtle men, feeling the wcakeuing of the
English hand, and disliking the strong prob
ability of Russian ascendency, are actually
looking forward to American interference
and help. They certainly propose to enter
into business relations if they find it possible,
and will visit the cotton-growing districts of
the South to inspect the growth of the cele
brated Sea Island and long staples, and pos
sibly to take seed to India, where nothing
but the short staple is known. They have
been busily visiting and re-visiting during
their short >tay. On Monday night tbey
dined with llerr Ijcopnld Schmidt of the Ba
den Consulate. On Wednesday tbey started
for West Point, where they are the guests of
Gen. Pitcher. Thence they proceed to Chi
cago (taking Niagara en route), where they
will be received by Sub-Commissioner-Gen.
Clarke; thence to Omaha and St. Louis,
where they will remain for some time col
lecting necessary information before they
proceed with their tour through tne cotton
growing States. These they will minutely
inspect, the ginning, cleaning and pressing,
and will in all probability purchase the nec
essary machinery, that at the Apollo Bun
der Bombay being heavy, expensive, and
slow—in fact, English. They will finally
bah in New Orleans, whence they will re
turn to New Y'ork by sea.
The Meilicat Students' War in Phila
delphia.
The female medical students in Philadel
phia who were treated so discourteously by
the young men at a clinics in the Pennsylva
nia Hospital last Saturday, have resolved to
attend to dav. as if nothing disagreeable had
happened. This class numbers 50 ladies,
of whom 36 have purchased tickets for the
clinics. They do not propose to attend on
Wednesday, when such cases are treated as
it would be improper for both sexes to wit
ness. Many of the most prominent citizens
and physicians of Philadelphia have extend
ed their encouragement to the ladies and the
papers have expressed very strong opinions,
condemning the male students for their
heartless course. The students of both the
University and the Jefferson College seem
determined to conquer the Faculties, if pos
sible, and compel them to prohibit the at
tendance of women. They have held sever
al meetings, and resolved to attend no clinics
themselves, where ladies are allowed to be
present.
'Hie Philadelphia Bulletin says: Before
the war, the medical student of Philadel
phia was long-haired, riotous, bowied, pis
toled and peculiar. Since the war, ho has
been quiet, rrderly and unobtrusive. Now
he has mace an ass of himself The ass
symbolizes two qualities—brutality and stu
pidity. Our Medical Asa was brutal on
•Saturday. He was stupid yesterday. He
held a meeting, and he resolved thus-wise:
"Resolved, That the students of the Uni
versity shali absent themselves from clinics
at the Pennsylvania Hospital until some
decisive action is taken by the managers of
of the Hospital in reference to the late in
fringements upon the rights of the male
students attending these clinics." Let us
utter words of wisdom to this fractious
young Issacher, this '"strong ass couching
down between two burdens." Let htm be
confronted with the assurance that the
Managers of the Hospital will "'take some
decisive actien" in Ins ease. They arc men
whoso actions are always "decisive." flmy
are most elderly members of the Society of
of Friends, whose yea is yea and whose nay
is nay. In the present case they will yield
to the demands of the turbulant young row
dies who have insulted these adventurous
young women, sometimes less than the space
occupied by the breadth of a very fine hair
—considerably less. The elderly male Friend
of this Tegion is of a somewhat resolute na
ture. Having sold a clinic ticket to a stu
dent, whether in pantaloons or petticoat, he
will honor that ticket in full, so long as the
holder of it behaves with proper decorum.
The Inquirer treats the subject as follows:
The old story is forever repeating itself in
the history of men—and boys. The Lilli
putians have gat hered together and declared
war. One half have solemnly agreed to dis
figure their adolescent countenances by cut
ting off their noses. The unmannered sav
ages who on Saturday last drove the stu
dents of the Women' College into the street,
hooting, jeering, aud otherwise insulting
them, have, in solemn conclave assembled,
sternly resolved not to attend the clinical
lectures of the Pennsylvania Hospital until
the managers of that institution refuses to
again admit women to its clinical course of
instruction. In Europe this question of
pursuing the study of medicine has been
long enough and well enough tried to cstab
iish its success. At the Zurich University
there are at present 16 women attending
the medical course, and it is reported that
none of the inconveniences expected from
their being admitted to the advantages of
the college have been realized. The num
ber of male students has not been decreased,
nor have the male matriculants resolved not
to attend the lectures in company with those
of the opposite sex. The dean of the Zu
rick University says that the innovation of
admitting female matriculants has, nndoubt
i edly, improved the chaiacier and discipline
:of the school. This is an idea that should
i have weight with the Faculty of the Uni
j versify. The character and discipline of
that school certainly lacks improvement
while its students attack women, and the
silly resolve of this handfull of bearded or un
bearded boys, not to attend the clinical lect
turea again until the Managers of the Hos
pital exclude women therefrom, is the cal
low determination of untutored childhood,
and merits only contempt and the punish
ment that is meted out to children Tt if/unt

Death oi Robert J. Walker.
Another politician of the older school,
who took an active part in the questions
which agitated the country in the days of
Jackson, Van Buren and Polk, has passed
away. Robert James Walker died yesterday
morning Nov. 11th, in the City of Wash
ington. He was born at Northumberland,
Penn., in IXOI Entering the University of
Pennsylvania, he was graduated in 1810,
and at once commenced the study of law.
Settling in Pittsburgh in 1821, he began
practicing, taking at the same time a deep
interest in politics, and bringing forward
tbe name of (Jen. Jackson for the Presidency
before it had been elsewhere mentioned.
He romoved to Natchez, Miss., in 1826,
where he acquired an extensive practice,
and was nominatcd Judge of the Supreme
Court (which honor he declined), and where,
in 1835, he defeated the Hon. George
Poindcxtec as candidate for the United
States Senate. Soon after entering upon
his duties in that body, he made a spirited
reply to Mr. Clay on the question of Public
Lands, by which, he acquired great popu
larity throughout the West. When the ac
quisition of Texas and California became a
serious consideration, a secret agent was
sent to the former country to inquire into
its resources, and the parly movement was
inaugurated which led to their conquest.
In this matter Mr. Walker was the personal
adviser of the President He supported
the principal measures of President Van
Huren's administration, especially on the
Bank question,and it was principally through
his influence that President Tyler vetoed
the Bank hill, which had been prepared by
Mr. Clay. He remained in the Senate until
March It), 1845. Friend as he lad been to
Mr. Van Burcn, when the President an
nounced his opposition to the annexation of
Texas. Mr. Walker took grounds against
him, and secured the nomination of James
K. Polk, by the Baltimore Convention, and
was by him appointed Secretary of the
Treasury, an office which he resigned Match
5, 1849. Mr. Walker was a strong advocate
of Free trade, and his report on the subject
was reprinted by order of the British Hoise
of Commons. He urged the strongest
measures duiingthe Mexican War, proviig
the ability of tbe Government to su.-tain its
finances without the aid of banks. In Jute,
1853, he was appointed Commissioner to
China, but resigned because a steamer cotld
not be furnished him. according to promise'
At the close of Mr. Polk's aduiinistraticn,
Mr. Walker returned to his practice, but
was appointed by Buchanan Governor of
Kansas during the great exeitement. He
speedily became unpopular hv refusing to
admit a false election return from Oxford,
in Johnson County, where the names on
the register were copied alphabetically from
a Cincinnati Directory. The fraduleut JJO
compton Constitution was shortly afterward
promulgated against his remonstrance, and
lie immediately resigned, because, in his
own language, he "would not aid in forcing
Slavery on Kansas by fraud and forgery."
He was a warm supporter of Mr. Lincoln,
and in April 1861. delivered an address in
this city, strongly defending the acts of the
Union party. In 1863 he was appointed
Financial Agent of the United States Gov
ernment in Europe by Secretary Cahase,
returning in November, 1564, having effect
ed the sale of $250,000,000 of 5-20 bonds,
and defeated the second Confederate loan of
$75,000,000.
During the last few years he has paid con
siderable attention to literature, publishing
several letters on finance and other subjects,
and in connection with his law partner,
Fred P. Stanton, who was Secrttary of Kan
sas while he was its Governor, editing a
monthly magazine which was at first of some
literary merit but which lacked stability.
He finally settled at Washington, and en
gaged in the prosecution of claims and
specific measures of legislation. In the
latter capacity he was influential in procuring
the ratification of the Alaska treaty, and
was some time compromised by an unpleas
ant scandal arising from it.
By his death another politician Of the
older school passes away; one who. laving
lived through the birth of the presen; par
ties, saw the issues at stake, and, n the
after day's of passion and treacherr, re
mained true to the principles on which his
faith was founded. — N. I. Tribune.
Amos Kendall.
lit* Death at the Aye of Eighty i'eirs—
His Last Honrs—A Peaceful VepaHure.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 12.— Amos Kendall,
who held the position of Postmaster Gmer
al during a portion of Jackson's and Van
Buren's administrations, died this moriing,
after a protracted illness, aged eighty 'ears
and three months. The death of Mr. Ken
dall occurred at ten minutes before nint o'-
clock, at Kendall Green, his residence, near
this city. Only the members of his family
were present.
The dying moments of Hon Amos Ken
dall were peaceful and quiet, lie retailing
consciousness to the last. Until twelve o'-
clock last night he slept very well, but rfter
that seemed more restless. He awoke short
ly before sunrise this morning and requcifcd
that the blinds of his room be opened in r
--der that he might see the sun rise, the
sight of which he seemed to enjoy. About
eight o'clock lie began to breathe heavier,
and it was evident that the end was neir.
His family were gathered around the bed
side, whom he took affectionate leave of, and
expired about half-past eight o'clock, lis
last audible words being "Joy, joy."
When he first this morning he
seemed somewhat confused, evidently thick
ing that he was about to start on a journey,
as he cautioned his daughter Mrs. Styckncp,
to hasten with the packing of the trunks,or
they would be late for the train. He soen
brightened up, however, and was perfectly
conscious until the last. He has been en
tirely resigned for several weeks past, hav
ing taken leave of his family about thne
weeks ago, and constantly prayed that tic
Lord would soon call him home, though
he begged for grace to be resigned until it
should be the will of Almighty God to tale
him.
He was born in Dunstable, Mass.
August 16, i7S9, and worked on hs,
father's farm until 1807, when be entered
Dartmouth College, and in 1811 gradua'.ed
first in his class. He was admitted to lite
bar in 1814, and soon after emigrated t >
Lexington Ky., where he followed the oc
cupation of a tutor, and as such was em
ployed iu Henry Clay's family. Subse
quently he was made postmaster of George
town, in that State, and occupied bis leisure
moments in editing the Argus of Western
America. When General Jackson was
made President he appointed Mr. Kendall
Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, and in 1835
he promoted him to the position of Post
master General. His success in relieving
this department of debt, simplifying its de
tails, and working it in the interest, not only
of the people, hut the tax-payers, force!
President Van Buren to re-appoint him.
He held that office until 1840, and then re
signed, but never afterward took office, al
though President Polk offered him a foreigt
mission. He has written a life of Jackson.
As a public officer, honorable and charitable
citizen, Mr. Kendall will long be remem
bered.
A CAR ACQUAINTANCE. —People should
be cautious how they show their gallantry
in railroad cars. A Boston paper tells the
story of a young woman, dressed in deep
mourning and bearing an infant in bcrarms.
who got on board a train at valley stream, on
Long Island, and took a stat beside a young
man, whom she informed she was on her
way to Philadelphia, and would be joined
at a certain station by her uncle. During
the ride she leaned over the young man
several times, apparently auxious to know
how far she was from the station. Arriving
at the station, she pointed out her uncle,
aDd asked the young man to hold her Bleep
ing infant while she conducted him ou board
the train, as he was old and feeble. The
young man consented and took the child.
The train soon moved off, but the woman

Judge Kelley's T&rift Project.
Commissioner Delano's Report.
JUDGE KELLEY'S TARIFF PROJECT.
It appears that the President, when call
ed upon a few days ago by Judge Keliey,
of Pennsylvania, about the tariff question,
did not express any particular opinion on
the proposition submitted. Kelley's plan,
as laid before the President, was to put all
raw materials not produced in this country
on the free list, and to make a consequent
reduction in the duties on the articles man
ufactured from this raw material. The
President did not commit himself cither
way, hut simply requested Keliey to leave
with him some facts and figures which he
bad prepared on the subject.
COMMISSIONER DELANO'S REPORT.
Commissioner Delano put the finishing
touches upon bis report to-day and sent it
to tbe Secretary of the Treasury. One of
the main features of it is a detailed compar
ison between the amount of revenue collect
ed during the last year of Johnson's admin
istration and that collected since Grant come
into power. Of course the balance iu favor
of the latter, but it is not known whether
Mr. Delano takes into the account tbe
amount of tax collected from spirits in bond
when be came into office, and which were
brought out on the 30th of' June by an act
of Congress compelling the owners to take
it out or else submit to an additional tax
of five cents on the gallon. As the tax
forms a large part of the sum total of the
revenue collected, its being counted in or
excluded would make an important differ
ence. In all his calculations heretofore Mr.
Delano has included this a part of the
amount collected by him.
Cuba.
The. Crisis Approaching— Activity Among
Congressmen— The Cuban Petition.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 12. —Considering the
ferocity with which .Spaniards are carrying
on the war in Cuba, the utter hopelessness
of their eventual success in quelling the in
surrection, the great and prospectively in
creasing destruction of property, consider
ing the immense probable detriment to the
people of this country and the rapidly grow
ing feeling amongst our people that not only
their interests hut the common interests of
humanity and the very honor of the United
States being compromised by the apathy of
the State Department.
Influential gentlemen from all sections of
the country now here, are wondering and
inquiring why the Executive does not act
in the matter; why be does not take the re
sponsibility of acting until Congress shall
positively direct him to do so, especially as
he has already been authorized to do so by
the House of Representatives, and such ac
tion would receive tbe hearty endorsement
of a great majority of the American people.
One prominent Senator now here speaks of
imitating General Butler's example and
scattering broadcast petitions bearing on the
subject, to be signed by the people and pre
sented to the President.
The Cuban Junta baveissutd a petition
to Congress, which reads as follows: "We,
the citizens of the American Uuion, in be
half of the principles written in our charter
o; National Independence, in the name of
Li' -ty and the sovereignty of people strug- :
gling to be free, respectfully petition that !
your honorable body do accord to Cuba the
rights of a belligerent power, and at once
recognize tbe independence of her sons from ]
tbe tyranny oT a foreign yoke which for
more than a year th y have maintained (un- !
aided) by the triumph of theif arm-." This
paper i> in the hands of canvassers, w ho will
solicit signatures. It will be sent through
out the country.
Reunion.
Presbyterian Ceremonies at Pittsburgh—lm
pur,sire Scenes.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12.—The Assemblies
met in their respective churches this morn
ing, and after impres.-ive devotional exer
cises, finally dissolved, and the announce
ment was made that the united Assembly
would meet in the First Presbyterian
Churchin Philadelphia, on the third Thurs
day in May, 1670.
After which each assembly formed in Hue
and marched to the street fiouting the First
Presbyterian Church, when tLe New and
Old Sohuol commissioners joined arms, the
union being greeted iiy the clapping of
hands and waving of handkerchiefs by an
immense crowd of spectators. The pro
cession niov. d to the 1 bird Church, where
a union meeting was held.
Telegrams were sent to the Presbyterians
in Great Britain announcing the union,
ibo Scriptures were read and an address !
made by Dr. Fowler, who at the close
clasped hands with Dr. Jacobs, and pro
nounced the union complete. Impressive ad- !
dresses were made by Drs. Jacobs, Mus
gravo, Adams, Hall and Day, and Judge
Strong, Senator Drake. Hon Woi. E.
Dodge and others. Dr. Fisher offered a re
solution calling on the Church for a thank
offering of $5,000,000 for mission purposes,
which was adopted.
The New York Custom-House Frauds.
NEW \ ORK, Nov. 1 1.—The Keening Post
says that Collector Grinnell and District At
torney Pierrepont are making an igvestiga
tion into the affairs of the custom house
here, which ha 9 so far demonstrated beyond
a doubt that an immense quantity of goods ■
has been removed from bond upon fraudu- j
lent papers, and that the Government lias '
been defrauded of $800,009 or $1,000,000. 1
The frauds in the drawback department
were consummated in some cases by fraudu
lent papers, and in others by changing the
amounts on which drawback was due, and
were conducted in the boldest possible man
ner; aud it is, therefore, supposed that some
one holding a responsible place under the j
Government was concerned in them. Draw
backs were sometimes • obtained to the
amount of $2,000 to $3,000 for goods alleged
to have been shipped on vessels, but never
left port.
The papers on which these claims were
collected had to be signed by Blatchlord.
formerly in charge of the drawback bureau,
and more recently in charge of the public
stores. It is claimed that Blatchford re
ceived 10 per cent, on the frauds, amounting
to $250,00 G. These, however, are only part
of the frauds committed.
The (Ecumenical Council.
Papal Infallibility not to be insisted upon.
PARIS, Thursday, Nov. ]], 1569.
It is now said that, after all, the dogma
of the infallibility of the l'ore will not be
forced on the (Ecumenical Council. Re
ports from Rome, apparently based on good
authority, state that the Pope declares he
must be assured of an imposing majority of
the bishops in favor of the dogma, other
wise he would prefer that the subject should
u#t be introduced, d< siring to avoid a dis
cission which might lessen the influuuee of
the principle. Meautime the Jesuits are
usiug every effort to secure an overwhelm
ing majority.

Belligerent Rights for the Revolutionists.
Two petitions from New York and Bos
ton have been sent to Washington, signed
by merchants of those cities engaged in
trade with Hayti, a-king for tbe recognition
of its revolutionists as belligerents. The
petitioners assign as sufficient reason for the
Government's compliance with the petition,
the long continuance of the war, and the
fact that the following important towns arc
in possession of the revolutionists: Jacwel,
Aux Cayes, Jeremie Miragoane, St. Marc,
Gonaivts, and Acul; while Sainave holds
but three, Port-an-Prineo, Port du Paix,
and Cape Haytian. y

his fat friend appreciated. When General

SLIGHTLY INCREDIBLE.—A story is go
ing the rounds of the newspapers to this ef
fect. In April last two criminals were be
headed in Brazil; a physician immediately
stopped the flow of blood by compression on
the carotid arteries of one of the heads; the
body was placed on a bed, the head stuck
on and stitched fast. The electricity of a
powerful battery was applied, and tracheot
omy was performed to allow the patient air;
respiration ensued, and the physician, who
was only experimenting to ascertain how
long an artificial appearance of life .could be
kept up, was surprised to find the pulse was
bc/Cing feebly; at the end of 62 hours it was
rAident that cicatrization of the lips of the
wound had commenced. At this time it
was found that it was the head of the other
man that had been used; nevertheless, the
account says the man lived and is living!
TERRIBLE MINE DISASTER.— Occr a
hundred Lives Lost. —MEXICO, October
16. —The most horrible catastrophe that has
occurred during the last half century in any
silver mine in the world, happened within
the old mine of Jesus Maria, near the city
of Guanajuato, on the 9th of October.
About 1,500 I'eons and Indians are em
ployed in the mine.
While the laborers were seated, eating
their noon-day meal, they were startled by
a sudden crumbling sound above them The
whole number rose to their feet, breaking in
different directions in wild confusion.
With them were their wives and children
who had brought them their meals. Scarce
ly a second intervened when there was a
crash, followed by a cloud of dust and the
mingled cries of a thousand voices.
Twenty five thousand tons of rock had
buried iu an instant, upward of an hundred
miners, their wives and children. The
height—4oo feet —from which the immense
fragment of overhanging mountain fell gave
such momentum to the great weight that
none who were struck knew of the terrible
blow which sent theui into eternity.
The day following sixteen women, six
children, and twelve men were drowned in
the Mereeala. They had reached the river
bank, and sat down to rest before undertak
ing to ford the river, which had been swol
len by late rains. The bank upon which
they sat overhung an angry current, and
suddenly slid off from the main land. Every
one peiished.
THE Cuban Junta are indignant at Cap

the Hornet, and was searching two days for
that vessel, at the time she ran into Wil

to pay the officers and seamen in Cuba, at
the time of her capture, and she is said to
have cost the Junta $200,000.
SENOR OLOZAOA, whom Senor Castellar
calls a great orator and statesman, has writ

France, saying : "I who represent Spain in
this empire have been nearer to the gibbet

bis clieot for the most extenuating circum

condemned to death himself he used to

TUE "Pot," a noted whirlpool in the Ten
nessee River, strong enough at all times to
engulf a canoe, producing cross curients
which made navigation dangerous even for
steamboats at high water, and often destroy
ing large vessels in time of flood, has ceased
to exist. The plan of improvement was to
cut down a point of land that projected in
to the river, and thus cause a deflection of
the current so that the water now has a free
passage. Many amusing storiea are told
about this "Pot" by those living on the
banks of the river, in Marion county. One
dark nigbt a flatboatman from Jefferson
county was floating down the river when he
came to a log cabin on the bank, from which
proceeded the sounds of music and dancing.
Tying up his boat, he joined the merry par
ty, drank a few horns of whisky, and start
ed on his iourney. Having floated about 15
minutes, he passed what he supposed to be
another cabin, where a similar frolic was in
progress. The third party that he encoun
tered he took another social glass with, and
then continued his journey, passing a log
cabin every half mile, from whicn the
sounds of music were issuing. The scene in
the morning, when he saw a man come from
a cabin to the river to wash himself, remark
ed the liveliness of the country, and was
told that instead of having made 30 miles
he had been "swinging round the circle" of
the "Pot," was very amusing,
