lECELIGIOIIS INTEUUGXNCE
NEW EPISOOPAT, ENTEEPitrAE.—The temporary
Chapel of the Church of the Holy Apostles win
be opened for regular serwee to-morrow '
at 10X
A. M., when th e Rev. C. D. Cooper. the Rector
of the parish, will enter upon bis duties.
The site of this new - enterprise Is at the south ,
east corner of Twenty-first and Christian, 144
feet by ISO ct, and running back to a amen
cross street, • giving three (route to the pre
mises. The dot:, as bought on favorable terms,
and Is held on rent. A temporary frame
building. 40 feet •70 feet, capable of accommo
dating 400 venous, law been erected by the rtuml-
Scent liberality of John Rice, Esq.
Plana for the new and permanent structure are
now before the vestry and undergoing revision
and adinatment. Ills on a scale to.accommo
date one thousand people. If the, necentary,fands
should bepruvided this failand winter, it. la the
design of the vestry to begin the, new bulirring
early in the coming spring. The design is to
bare a plain, but sightly edifice, not to cost over
e 20,000 or e 35,000. The additional Sunday
school building will probably cost $15,000 more,
making the whole coat of the church and its ad
juncts $50,000.
The lied is a very promising one, and as, in
the very lame district south of Lombard street
and west of Broad street, there is not a single
place of woman', for Episcopalians, it cannot - be
doubted that the new church must, within a year
or two, embrace a large congregation.
Until further notice, the regular public services
will be on Sundays, morning at 1036 and evening
at 736' o'clock.
A Nnw PAsron.—Rev. J. S. Gut!ernes, pastor
of the First German Baptist Church of Rt. Louis,
has accepted the call of the First German Baptist
Church of this city (made vacant by the death'ef
their long retained pastor, Rev. K. A. Fleisch
mann), and entered upon his labors with the
above church on theist inst. Rev. Mr. Gutleman
is a graduate of Rochester and that institution
has no better representative among her sons
His first settlement was at Lotdsville, but hesoon
went to St. Louis, where he has had a long and
successful pastorate. He is considered one of the
best among the German preachers, and is a man
of ardent, devoted piety, a good scholar and an
earnest pastor. When he speaks in English his
earnestness. purity of diction and meaning make
him truly eloquent By the acceptance of the
call Mr. Gutleman has awakened great gladness
In the hearts of the members and encouraged high
hopes for his new field.
SUNDAY SCHOOL ENTERTAMIMPT.—The select
entertainment advertised in our special notice
column to take place at the MiLestown Baptist
Church, on Thursday evening, September 24,
1868, under the direction of 3. H. Houghton, M.
D., will be an exhibition of much merit. The
illuminated paintings and descriptive lectures
form a. criticism on the style, life and writing
of the late Artemus Ward.
On Saturday evening , next, the Arch Street
Theatre will inaugurate the season with a grand
comedy night, when Goldsmith's famous old play
She Stoops to Conguer, will be presented by the
full company, cast with great care. As an after
piece the little farce Jenny Lind will be given,
with Miss Fanny Davenport (daughter of L.
Davenport) In thcwitading character. Miss
Davenport has a Alicions voice, and her powers
as an actress are said to be considerable. Mr.
Craig will also appear in the character of
"Granby Gag," and he will sing "Captain Jenks."
On Monday, the 14th instant, the Etchings opera
troupe will begin a brief engagement with the
opera Martha.
The Arch Street Theatre has been handsomely
refitted during the vacation. The entire audito
rium has been laid with new carpeting and mat
ting; the vestibule has been tiled with a new de
sign; the wood-work of the seats and of the gal
lery and box frosts has been repainted, and
where it was necessary, the'lilding has been re
newed. The boxes are nicely fitted up with new
carpets, and rich crimson damask curtains, and
the walls have been frescoed with panels of a
neutral tint. The. whole appearance of the in
terior is fresh and bright and clean looking, and
very tasteful. •
The orchestra this season will be larger than
ever before, the number of pieces having been
increased to eighteen. -
• Mr Doctworth will continue to direct <the
music. • -
"Mr. Hawthorne and his assistant are busy,
painting large quantities of new scenery, some
of it of the.handsomest" description. The green
room the dressing-rooms; and all the
'different departments. of the theatre have
been fitted up in a style which reflects the great
est credit upon Mrs. Drew, and Mr.-Manager
Merphy. Is its - present condition, the Arch. is
unquestionably one of the most beautiful theatres
An the , country, and this, combined with the fact
that the company is of the highest order, will
make it very popular - with the better class of
play-goers during the coming season.

MOMSTIO BEYMOURISNOMINATION.
Further Ilevotations.
In ' the letter of Colonel. Brown, which we
Printed yesterday, he referred to a letter in the
Cincinnati' West and South, a Democratic sheet,
which labored for Pendleton and is dissatisfied
with Seymour. This letter is Said to be written
by Mr. Henry Reed, lately ore of 'the chief
writers of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. /teed
Writes:—
"The question, so far as Mr. Seimoir stands
affected, is 'this; . Was he dishonest, or merely
weak ? Was his condeq, theresult of treachery
or imbecility? That 'Mr.: Seymour was either
weak' or dishonest;'that his;coudget owed ,its
origin either totreachery or imbecility, is a thing
eo palpable as to forbid denial, His act was that
of • a knave ern fool, and that knave or, fed:—
whichever it`may have beett—of 'an common
magnitude..._lt
__it not complimentary to Mr.
Seymour," * h en his apologists can only Main
tain his Integrity at the' expense of his under
standing, and his understanding at the expense of
his integrity. It is pot fortunate fora party to
be committed to a candidate* respect to .Whoxe
character there'is a question which can' WO be
answered by an impmehment of either hid intel
1 lectnal or his moral fitness for the place to Which
it Becks his elevatket. Ido not wonder .that so
little is said in the Seymorm,papers—they do not
deserve to be called dernocratic--of • the mode hi the nomination •of Mr. Seymour, was
effected; perhaps I should not wonder that so
little has been said upon the subject by the papers
upon the other side. ~;The conductors of the
former see plainly'enough that it is not a
matter to improve in appearance the better
It - is understood; that those of the latter
are too well pleased with Mr. Seymour as an an
tagoniat to care how his nomination was aecom
pitehed. They are not, well over their fright at
the prospect of Mr. Chase '
and the party revolu
tion which his presence in the field would have
inaugurated, to see clearly the use which might
be made of the fact that Mr. Chase was.the can
didate of the Democratic masses, and that those
masses were depriVed of their candidate by an
act of 'treachery, of which Mr. Seymour was
either the inventor or the willing inatrnment.
The conduct Mr. Seymour before and at the
Convention is conclusive upon ' the point of
f
his fitness the office of President of the
4,. . -
United States. This Is no time for either weak
lings or tricksters at the head of the govern
ment, and that Mr. Seymour Is either pitifully
weak or flagrantly dishonest, Is a proposition
which cannot safely be disputed. Bow the con
ductors of journals in his interest feel is shown
as well by what they leave unsaid as by what
they say., They do not care to touch 'upon the
circumstances which stureand'ed the nomination
—that amazing and almost IncompnAterusible
coup de thimble-rig, through whose means the
bread which the peoplehr-Winited was snatched
from them at the instant when they thought they
had it in , their grasp, and the stone which they
did not want thrust cold and benumbht into
their embrace.

VALLANDIGELAD AND THE NEW
TOBIE RIOTS. •
The Recent Affidavit.
The Wsifthington correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazette writes :
"Was Vallandigham in New York at the riots
in 1863 ? An affidavit stating that he went from
Richmond by way of Nassau and Halifftv to Bos
ton and New York, with a company of Confede
rates, for the purpose of being present at that
democratic festival, has been widely circulated
by the Repnblican press:
"The history of that affidavit is important, be
cause it gives added weight to it as a campaign
document.
"The very first fact which appears concerning
It is that it was made nearly a year ago, and so
was taken without any reference whatever to Mr.
Vallandigham's political prominence in the New
York Convention, or his later nomination for
Congress over the head of one good soldier, and
as the competitor of another.
"In the spring of 1867 certain agents of our
government who were engaged in investigating ,
the operations of the Confederate biockade;run
ners and of the English pirates became acquainted
with the outlines of Vallandigham's trip to
Halifax. A little later they met Captain Johns,
an,l subsequently some of the members of his
crew, and gradually obtained the main facts as set
forth in the affidavit lately published. To get them
in writing and in the shape of legal testimony
was, however, a matter involving very
considerable difficulty. In the summer of
the same year, one of the departments
hero sent an officer to Europe to pro
tect the interests of our government in the
matter of ten thousand dollars' worth of United
States postage stamps taken from the pirate
Florida. That officer, on his return,bronght the
first information which reached the public con
cerning this matter. Meantime, the officers first
mentioned, engaged both for the State and Trea
sury Departments, continued their efforts to ob
tain the real facts connected with the return of
Vallandightun. Finally, through their efforts,
the information was secured, and also the affida
vit of Captain Johns, who commanded the vessel
which took Vallandigham to Europe. This was
made in November, 1867, long before the nomi
nees of either party wore determined upon, and
solely to complete some of the records which' the
government was making np concerning one por
tion of the Alabama claims. 'Both the State and
Treasury Departments had this information in
their possession during last winter. In April
last the officers who had conducted these investi
gations came to this country,and to Washington,
bringing the principal papers in the case with
them. The facts regarding Vallandigham became
a matter of quiet .conyersation in official circles,
and finally upon the • adjournment of the New
York Convention, , the copy given' to the press
was obtained from the original London affidavit.
"From first to last the investigation and all the
papers have been in the hands of persons in the
service of the Government, and all the informa
tion elicited was gained in the discharge of offi
cial-duty.. The original affidavit -is still in the
hands Of these same parties.
'`After obtaining this sworn staternent from
Captain. Johns, our officers <found the mate and
r s i e a v lpi n f s tth h e e t hey fully
yo co h r i o v erate d ar h e ina ae m
enet
of their captain, and all of the officers concur in
the belief that the story as given by him is true
`in every essential particular. EL V. B."

The Cincinnati Commercia/ says " •
- '"The following Platform of principles was
.presebted to Chief - Justice , Chase by; the Mena
i here of the Democratic , National Convention of
1868, and was approved by hint as a wise, liberal
:and patriotic etrxession of political principles,
admirably adapted• to •the present needs of the
American people. It*ls conceived and written
out in the State of NeW York, It was approvel
by Horatio Seymour, who profeased a desire to
have Mr. Chase nominated on' this platform, • and
pledged his earnest effort to secure that end.
1. The American Demotiracy, reposing their
trust under God in the intelligence, the patriot
ism and discriminating justice of the American
people, declare their fixed adhesion to • the great,
principles of equal rights and exact justice for all'
men and all States, and their purpose to apply
them, within constitutional limita, to all ques
tions which, in the varying exigencies of public
affairs. may demand consideration and:solution.
"2. We congratulate each other, and-the whole
people, upon the auspicious return of peace after
protractea civil war; and, offering our most
earnest thanks to the brave soldiers of the Union
whose heroic courage, patient endurance and
self•sacrifleing patriotism have preserved for us
an undivided country, we discard from our hearts
every sentiment savegood will toward those who
having bete brava enemies in:war, now return to
their duties as citizens of the United States. We
welcome them to a noble rivalry in earnest efforts
to surpass each other in mutual kindness and
common devotion to that Union whose symbol
once more floats in glory and honor over all our
land. •
"8. Thatfilavery, having perished by the war,
and being now prohibited by an amendment of
the national Constitution, rielther can nor ought
to be restored; while a Wll3O regard to the altered
circumstances of the country and impartial jus
tice to the millions who have been enfranchised,
demand the adoption of all proper consti
tutional measures for, the protection. Improve
ment and elevation of this portion of the Anteri
can people. ##• • •'
"4. That in ii land of Democratic institutions,
all public and private interests . repose most St
, caret? on the broadest basis of su.Wrage; but un
der the system of distinct,- though4raited States,
WhiCh distinguishes our American government
From the consolidated governments of the Old
World, both wisdom and duty require that the
application of this principle be left in the sever
nil States, under the Constitution of the United
States, to the people of each .State, without in
terference by the National goverement.•
"5. That public security is endangered, and
the public prosperity arrested by the unwise and
unjust disfranchisement imposed on the people
of the Southern Stateaby recent legislatlon; , the
best guarantees" of perfect peace, increasing
wealth, and beeficent goverrunent in these
States will be found in complete and universal
amnesty, and the speediest possible removal of
all civil and political disabilities..
"6. That we have observed, with alarm, the
growing tendency of the centralization and con
solidation of all the powers of the National Go
vernment in the Legislative Department, and are
constrained to oppose to it a determined resist
ance. It is of the first importance that every de
partment of the Government, whether Legisla
tive, Judicial, or Executive, be maintained Wits
full constitutional authority, without, encroach
ment by either upon the others. Unconstitu
tional and - usurped control of the other depart
ments by the Legislative must result not only in
the destruction of the checks and balances of the
Constitution. but ultimately. in the subjugation of
the Senate, the subversion of the States, and the
overthrow of the Union.
"7. That we earnestly condemn the establish
ment and continuance of military government in
the States, and especially the trial of citizens by
military (commissions, as unnecessary, unwise
and inconsistent :with the fundamental princi
ples of civil liberty. Neither military govern
ments nor military commissions for the trial of
citizens .in-the time of peace,
can be tolerated by
a free people, resolved to maintain free instate.
Lions.
"8. That the maintenance of great armies and
nay it s in times of peace, Imposes heavy burdens
on industry, and is dangerous to liberty. We in
therefore, on the reduction of our army and
navy to the smallest number consistent with due
efficiency; and upon the withdrawal from the
Southern States of all military force not alzsi o
lnti ly necessary for the support of civil au
thority. •
"9. That no fears need be entertained of evil
consequences from the extension of the area of
the United States. While, therefore, we have
neither the purpose nor the wish to impose our
institutions by tbrce upon any people, we shall
welcome the accession to the American Union of
neighboring States, whenever they are willing to
come in, and can bereeeived without breach of
in ternaticTiiiil obligations.
"10. That the full weight of American asser
tion and influence should be given to the doctrine
that the citizens and subjects of all civilized
states have the right to choose in what country
and under whlit government they will live ; and
we especially insist that all American citizens,
wht Cher native or naturalized, shall be promplly
and efficiently protected by the National Govern
ment in every part of the world against the op
pression and injustice of all governments what
ever.
"11. That in our judgment, the conduct of our
Indian affairs has been marked by great corrup
tion, and needs tobe thoroughly reformed. To
protect the remnants of the powerful tribes
which once possessed this broad land, in their de
cay and weakness, is the plain duty of "the, pow
erful nation which has succeeded them..
"12. That labor is the true source of ail wealth,
and the men of labor are not only the real au
thors of the material well-being, but the best de
fenders of the honor and interests of the conntry.
It is therefore not'less the dictate of wise policy
than of sound principles that the rights of labor
be fully maintained,and'every possible • opportu
nity of individual improvement
,secuied by just
laws to the workingmen of the.coualry.'
"13. That honor and duty, alike require , the
honeftpayment of the public debt and the faith
ful performance of all public obligations, bat we
do not admit that creditors, more than any ether
men, are entitled to special favor, in the ;inter
pretation of the Jaws by which their rights' and

The Denver (Colorado) News of August 29th
bas the followingaccount of a brush with a party
of Indians:
Mr. D. B. Bailey, County Commissioner, and
one of 'the oldest settlers of Larimer county,
started in from Cache a la Poudre yesterday at
night-fall for ammunition, arriving early this
morning. He confirms previous reports of In
dian depredations in the vicinity of his home. On
the 24th a small party of the savages stampeded
the herd of Mr. Brush on one aide of the,
river, and his herd on the other, driving off
all their horses, numbering twenty-four, and kill
ing four head of cattle. Some of them then
dashed upon William Brush and two of his men,
who were hitching up a team near the house,
preparatory to starting for a load of hay, and
killed all three of them, shooting each three times,
tomahawking and scalping them. In addition to
these depredations and murders, they stole four
horses from Messrs. Clones and Innes, and ten
from Captain Cram.
About dusk, of the twenty-seventh, a party of
I P'
settlers numbering about six -four, having been
organized with Mr. Bailey leader, started in
pursuit of the Indians, cord g up with them at

of a moving circle of fire around the party

drew a bead on the man with the rod, and
dropped him dead. From that moment they fell
into confusion, and seemed anxious' to escape.
Retreating, they would fire back over their shoul

them were killed, fifteen wounded, and the horses
of the killed captured. None of the whites was
hit orhurt, and the pursuit was called off at
