Honoring the Confederacy.
On Monday last a memorial monument was
erected in Lynchburg, Va., over the remains of
rebel soldiers. This was all right enough, but a
rather singular collection of articles was placed
on the corner stone. The News says :
After the libation of cern, wine, and oil, there
were deposited in the place provided for them in
the corner-stone, the following articles:—Holy
Bible; a miniature Confederate flag; roll of Con
federate notes; six Confederate buttons; a number
of coinh; copies of the newspapers of the date;
list of the officers and members of the Memorial
Association; list of the officers and members of
the Masonic Lodges in the city; memorial poem

Goddess; and a slip containing the name of the
Mayor of the city.
AIICSEMEN rs.
—Miss Swum Genoa and her company will appear
at the Theatre Comity:ie, this evening, in Panchate
and The Rainy Day. The first of these is a very beau
tiful little opera, in which Mies Susan appears to
much advantage, and rings the sweet music charm
ingly. The latter piece is a very clever musical farce,
and it is admirably performed. The company at this
theatre has been greatly improved by the addition of
s hin Clark, a very fine basso, Miss Krause, an excellent
soprano, and Mr. Shields. a young gentleman who
hmmises to make a good actor. To-morrow night
Levy's comic opera, Punchinello, will be given, with
Miss Susan In the leading part.
—At the Walnut, this evening, Mr. John Brougham
will appear in his very funny burlesque, Much Ado
About a Merchant of Venice. Mr. Brougham's en

',' • Mr. Sumner has proved to demon
e.tration what is the real feeling yf th, nation and
the ';orernment which, on this question, he may
fairly be suid to represent. It is evident that It is
out a feeling which can possibly be propitiated by
t.ny half- and-half concessions. Either we mast
acknowledge that the civil war was as mach our
work as the South's, and meekly accept the con- quences,or we must abandon the hope of bring
ing the American people into a more friendly at-
Made toward this country. As even
the extremest Northern sympathizer will
hardly go the lengths demanded by
Mr. Sumner, we may hope that the
opinion of Eng l ishmen will be practically unanimous
,n furor 'f he latter eon, se. The right answer for
Lord Clarendon to give Mr. Motley is a simple
non posrumus—a refusal to enter into any discus
sion which includes the mention ..f the proclamation
lU r neutrality as matter either for compensutio n or
arbitration. We should have spared ourselves
some humiliation and the Americans some addi
tional irritation if we had acted on this principle
throughout Mr. Johnson's visit. There is another
Use to which Mr. Sumners' speech may be turned.
We shall be greatly to blame if .we did not see
in it a warning that we have incurred, though
by no fault of our own, the anger of
a very powerful people, which has only now
found out that in military and naval eminence it
can rival the greatest of European Powers. No
doubt Mr. Sumner's only reference to war was a
repudiation of its alleged necessity. Bat that
repudiation was itself founded on the effect
which ills assumed will follow trom the exer
tions of good men on each side, and we know
by this time what an American Republican
means when ho talks of good men. The epithet
is rarely, if ever, applied, except to those who
adopt the whole Radical programme. A good
Englishman means a man who has Started from
the same p remises as Mr. firmivEn '
and has come
to the same conclusion. If good men of that
type are sufficiently numerous and sufficiently
persuasive to bring the majority of Englishmen
round to%their view, Mr. SUMNER may be right in
thinking War between America and England a
permanent impossibility. But if, as we antici
pate, there is difficulty in finding the preachers.
or if, as we are sure will be the
case, their exhortations fall on deaf ears
and stony hearts, it is quite possible
that this certainty of unbroken peace may prove
only a fool's paradise. The ties of blood are not
likely to count for more where England and the
United States are concerned than they counted for
when the combatants were two sections of the
same people. The paramount considerations
which should govern the present policy of this
country toward the United States are the fruitless
ness of further negotiations and the necessity y
being prepared, or war.
s** * * *
We do not wish to be alarmists, or to represent
matters as In any way worse than they really;are.
But nothing is gained by denying that the sort,
of 111-feeling which seems to animate the mind of
nearly every American towards England Is an
element of serious danger. Suppose, for exam
ple, that it had reached Its present height at the
time of the seizure of the Confederate agents on'
hoard the Trent, the most popular of Presidents'
could hardly have ventured on making the re-!
qulred reparation. Tho utmost caution cannot'
secure a Government against being compromised,
by the hasty act of an official, and If England
were now compelled to urge a similar demand at
Washington, we question whether General Grant'
would have the power to concede It, even on the ,
sastimption—and a very large assumption it is—,
that he had the will.

Russian dead have been reverently gathered to

THE CU BAN QUESTION
'The .A.labarna, Claims
England and France to Unite with
Spain for Offence and Defence
Against the United States.
[137 the Atlantic liable.]
LosooN,May 11.—Initial steps have been taken
for an alliance, offensive and defensive, between
England, France and Spain against the United
States—the rejection of the Alabama treaty, the
tone of Mr. Sumner's speech, the alleged filibus
tering tendencies of General Grant's Administra
tion, and the reported connivance at expeditions
from the United States against Cuba, being made
the pretexts for a necessity for each alliance.
The Demand for War—Excited Feenngr
in England.
The London correspondent of the N.Y. Tribune,
quoting an article from the Pall Mall Gazette,
which we give below, says :
There can be but ono logical conclusion to such
a premise, and the Pall Mall Gazette does not
shrink from drawing it. The pith and purpose
of Its whole article, and of what is to be hence
forth Its policy, are condensed Into one cogent
sentence :
"The paramount considerations which should
govern the present policy of this country toward
the United States, are the fruitlessness of farther
negotiations, and the necessity of being prepared
for war."
It would be a total mistake to suppose that this
Is said hastily, or is the effect of Irritation on
reading Mr. Sumner's speech.
I think It beyond doubt that the very ante and
remarkably sagaciqns conductors of this journal
long since resolved on this policy, and have
waited only for a suitable occasion to declare it.
Mr. Sumner's speech furnishes the occasion. By
Ibis declaration, the Pall ifall Gazette has put it
self at the bead of a movement destined, I be
lieve, to go far and do much before its end is
reached. This is, In fact, the revival of that old
party which longed for the destruction of the Re-
public by the Rebellion. Had the Pall Mall Ga
zette been in existence at that time, it would have
beta the rival of the Time„ for the leadership of
that party. Now, by a single article, it has
achieved the distinction which then it might have
struggled for in vain. It takes the lead in the
strong, resolute, and clear-sighted party which
wants a war with America.

CeremOnies at the Completion of the

ling Particulars.
PROMONTORY Suramrr, Utah, May 10, 1869.—,
Early this morning the principal men of the
Union Pacific Railroad arrived here from Echo
and Weber canons, where they had been superin
tending the repairs of several bridges damaged
by raise water. The first palace sleeping ear
ever seen on the Pacific territory was brought
over the worst bridge, at Devil's Gate, by ropes'
it not being considered safe to use a locomotive.
In all 3,000 people—capitalists, professional railT
road men and graders, with a few ladies—were
on the ground to witness the completion of this
great work.
The scene was a grassy valley on a mountain
which divides the north end of Gfeat Salt Lake
into two bays, far away from all signs of civiliza
tion except such as surround the railroad camps.
A chosen party of skilled Chinese leveled the
ground and laid the last-few ties, and the last
pair of rails were placed and spiked to all but the
last tie the spikes being driven by Mr. Notting
ham i'reaident of the Michigan Central and
Lake Shore Railroad. Commissioners Sherman,
Hoyne, Strawbridge and Reed, superintendents
of construction, placed the polished laurel
tie with silver plate, sent by California, under
.he rail. The ends and joints were adjusted
by the respective officers of the Union Pacific,.
;aking the right hand rail looking east and the
Central Pacific the left hand. Edgar Mike, age
master of ceremonies, called upon Rev. Dr.
Todd, of Pittsfield, to invoke the blessing of the
Deity on their work. Dr. Harkness, with a feW
words, offered California's gift of a golden spike,
which was accepted by Vice President Durant,
and by him placed in the auger hole. Mr. F. A.
Trittle, in the name of Nevada, offered a silver'
,ike with a neat sentiment. Governor Stanford
accepted and placed it. Governor Safford, of
Arizona, on behalf of that Territory, offered a
-pike of gold, silver and iron, with a short senti..
meat. Governor Stanford responded for the
• a Broad over which he presided. After recount
ing their labors and anxieties, and expressing a
wish for amity, peace and co-operation between
, the companies, he spoke of the great future for
railroads, when freights by railroad shall be less
than any other mode of carriage. Gen. Dodge
responded for the Union Pacific Railroad, and
concluded by saying that they had built the path
way to India.
Edgar Mills added a few words and presented a
silver sledge hammer in the name of the Pacific
Union Express Company. Governor Stanford re
ceived it, and the telegraph wire having been con
nected with it and Vice President Durant having
arrived with the ordinary tool, the signal was
riven and the President of the Central and Vice
President of the Union drove home the last
spikes. At Stanford's blow the electric current
through hundreds of cannon made known to the
world that the great work which will revolu
tionize commerce was accomplished, and that
courage, patience and skill had achieved
what was a few years ago laughed at
as the dream of enthusiasts. When the
hilonts of joy had subsided the telegrams to
the President of the United States and to the As
rociated Press were read, and the ceremony con
cluded with three cheers for every one concerned
in building the road,from the laborer who did the
work to the government that furnished the
weans. Many congratulations and expressions
of mutual respect and esteem passed between
ulcers of roads, once rivals, now united and
alai common interests in building up the traffic
of both coasts and developing the country
through which they pass California's interest
In this day's work on Promontory Summit is
only second to that of the finding of gold at Sut
ter's Mill, and the results are likely to be as stu
pendous in their effects on the Pacific slope and
on the world at large.

Protestant Episcopal Oonvention
RELIGIOUS SERVICES
The Cotivention Sermon
The religious services for the opening of the
Eighty-fifth Convention of the Protestant Episco
pal Church in the Diocese of Pennsylvania,
,were
held at ten o'clock this morning at St. Andrew's
Church.
Morning Prayer was commenced by the Rev.
VV. R. Grits, of Allentown.
The Lessons were read by the Rev. T. H.
Cullen. of Bloomsburg.
The Creed, Collects and Litany were read by
the Rev. O. B. Keith, of Jenkintown.
The 79th Selection was sung with much spirit
to the "Old Hundred" tune by a choir of the
0- indents from the Divinity School, Mr. John
Zebley, of *Sir Philip's Church, officiating as
organist.
The Ante-Communion Service was read by the
tev. W. C. Leverett, of Carlisle.
The 2btla hymn, "I Love Thy kingdom, Lord,"
was sung to "Laban."
The Convention Sermon was preached by the
Rev. Phillips Brooks, from the text: Exodus
xxvili, 34, 25, "A golden bell and a pomegranate
upon the hem of the robe round about. And It
shall be upon Aaron to minister; and his sound
shall be heard when he gooth in unto the holy
place before the Lord, and when he cometh out,
that he die not."
When Aaron went into the holy place the
pomegranates and bells told the story of hie sa
cred office. On the robes of every priestly church
and minister must be found that which the pome
granates and bells signified, the pomegranate as
the accumulator and depository of spiritual life,
and the bells as the proclaimers and dissemina
tors of spiritual life. Let ue,to-day, contemplate
the Church in these two great elements of its
being. We look at the inflowing of spiritual life
from the soul of God through truth, through
commandment and through personal influence.
This truth is the essence of the Christian faith.
God declares Himself to us through the three
fold channels of flit - intelligence, - the' will
and the affections. The work of the
Bavlour firtlic_rebulidimroftthescr.l - brokont
nein through which the life of God was meant to
flow into the spiritual life of man. Tho figure
of the pomegranate is beautifully expressive of the
living soul, drawing its ripe life from without,
made rich and fragrant and beautiful by the!
power which It draws from God, the source of
all its life. The Church's life la the aggregate /
life of Christ In individual souls. Living souls:
OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY.
must go before the living Church, which has no
life except in those single souls. Men seem to
have strangely imagined that there could be a
Church living in itself without reference to the
souls of her members. The Church has it In her
power to block vp the channels of the intelli
gence, the will and the affection which arc ne
emery for the life of individual souls. If the
Church commits the suicide of dogmatism by
limiting the free play of her people's intelligence,
or thesuicide of corruption by seeking to Bet nP
some artificial morality, the suicide of formalism
by settin up splendid screens of symbolism
which send
an unnatural light down to the eyes
of her people, she blocks up the channels of her
people 's+ vitality.
The time must come when tee Cburch will no
longer make artificial vices and virtues of her
own. She must seek for greater simplicity
of symbolism, or at least in , her thoughts con
cerning symbolism, bringing her nearer to the
direct inflow of life from the Savior to the soul.
The church was made for men; and not men for
it. In suck A church only ,cart there-be any unity.
No outer bond can permanently hold her. Noth
ing but an inner spiritual life can truly bind her,
together in these distracting times.
But let ne consider the outflowing of the
church's life upon the world. If the church wore
really what she ought to be, the great , reformer,
of the world, she would still have the greater
work of pouring a true life into all its channels.
The mere machinery of the church, perfect as
it may be, cannot give life to the
world.' : There is an essential difference
between all machinery and Retard life, and we
may easily legislate and work in our parishes and
preach in our pulpits, and yet communicate no
Gospel life to the people. We need preaching
vitalized by a personal power in the preacher.
The vital life-power , of the Church is Christ pass
ing out through the channels of the Church to
the world. making all its work, and its teachings,
and its laws, fall of living force. Our preaching
must be full of the spirit of the Gospel, as well
as true to its letter. There is a sort of ecclesias
tical materialism, which turns the machinery of
the €hurch into the tombs of living thought
rather than its homes.
Men are asking how our Church can be made
effectual, and it is curious to hear the answers.
One will add some new ritual, another will alter
this or that word In the Prayer Book, ,one pre
scribes this panacea and another that, and all
alike are worthless. There is nothing that will
make the Church more effective but that which
pours a truer and deeper spiritual life into the
souls of her people. We thank God for every
power which the Church exercises upon the
world; but who does not know that men neither
bear nor desire the Church as we would have
them do?
The first great need of the Church is larger
liberty. There is-more in the Church than we
use. There is larger thought in our preachers
than we find in their sermons. The world Is not
elven to see all the love that really burns in the
deep spontaneous emotion of the Individuals of
the Church, because men hesitate to speak out to
the world all that is in them.
But I detain yon too long. 111 should like to
have spoken of the necessary inter-dependencies
of the inner and outer life of the Church, of how
the fruit that embodies life already won and the
bell that proclaims life to others must hang side
by side; how either degenerate, bow' the fruit
grows meagre and the bell grows dumb without
its companion. I should only be telling the story
of every Chrtstidn's life. I come back to where
we began—The Living Church.
And Christ is the Life, first in our 'lotus, to
which ho enters by his spirit in Knowledge, Au
thority and Love, so that not we live, but Christ
liveth in us, and then in our Church, where Ho
alone is still The Teacher and the Master and the
Saviour, filling it with Himself, and clothing It
in MB righteousness and binding on its skirts the
pomegranate and the bell—that full of Love for
Him and Love for men, It may go in and out of
the holy place that Ho has appointed it, a Living
Church, wearing its priestly robe always "that it
die not."
The sermon, of which we are only able to give
a meagre abstract, was replete with the wealth of
thought and expression so peculiar to the distin
guished preacher, and was listened to with pro
found attention by the large congregation. At
Its conclusion, the Communion Service was re
sumed.
The Offertory Sentences and prayer for the
Church militant were read by the Rev. A. M.
bel,of Lebanon.
The Holy Communion was administered by
the Right Rev. Bishop fßevens,assisted by several
of the clergy, the Post-Communion service being
read by the Rev. A. P. Brash, of Muncy.
At the conclusion of the services Bishop
Stevens presented his annual address on the
state of the Diocese, after which the Convention
adjourned until this afternoon.

TIII3 VIILOCIPEDROME. —A large audience
assembled at the Chestnut Street Skating Rink
last evening, to witness the grand exhibition of
velocipede riding for prizes. About three thou
sand persons were present, and as many of these
were ladies, the Rink presented a gay appear-
MI cc.
The first race was between W. H. P. Covert,
the champion of Philadelphia, and Lewis Fabian,
who challenged him. Mr. Covert was successful,
and therefore retains the gold medal which he
had previously.won BB the champion rider.
The second race was between boys under ton
years of age. This was won by Master Walter
Sinn.
The third race was for fancy and daring riding,
the prize ;being a silver water-pitcher. Thomas
