• Under the arch of climbing verdure that
twines its rose . -studded emerald over the beaa
tiful portals of the First•Baptikt Chtdch, .at
Broad and Arch streets,
this morning, passed
and repassed at least thousand people.
171 culture, in wealth and in attachment to
the•tenets of their denomination the Baptiste
of Philadelphia are exceeded by the Baptists
of-no other city in the Union.- Their-churehes
are among the handsomest, and the acquire
ments of their theologians are second to those
of 'no other denomination-The acknowledged
best linguist in America is Reir. Dr. Couaut,
ono() of Rochester University;,now engaged
in translating the Scriptures into oriental
languages for tho American Bible Society.
Many of the clergymen present, this morning,
learned their Hebrew from his accomplished
lips.
The object of assembling this morning was
to celebrate the Thirty-eighth Anniversary of
the American Baptist Home Mission Society.
The proceedings were begun with prayer by
Rev. Doctor Gillette. A hymn was sung and
Doctor Backus then.read the annual report of
the operations of the. Society for the past year.
The "recapitulatinn is exceedingly satisfactory.
This is the case with its labors,its receipts and
their results. -The receipts for the first thirty
years were $791,418 50. Tne large munbor of
2,947 missionaries bad during that time been
commissioned by the society. These unitedly
preached 254,954 sermons,.and baptized 27,911
persons. The churches organized used duriug
that period numbered 1,242. The number o
brethren ordained to the missionary 4 ministry
was 679. The contributions of churches once
assisted by the Mission Fund amounted dur
ing that time to $52,00. Add to this $400,000
paid by the churches toward the support of
missionaries, 5400,000 paid toward meeting
hpuses, for improvments etc., and the sum
total of the first thirty years will be
approached.
Of the last eight years thetotal receipts were
.$81:7,847 ; missionaries •boratilissioned, 2 ; 140;
sermons preached, 174,032; persons baptized,
30,444 ' • churches organized, 600.. The work
in the South has been prosecuted with great
success: 3,720 colored pupils have been in
structed by missionaries during last year. A
number of freedmen have been educated for
tLe ministry. Cash nearly to the amount of
$BB,OOO has been collected for this
special branch of labor. Besides
this, pledges, entirely reliable, have
been secured for $60,000 more. This gives
prosectively •;• . 100,0b0 as the result or this
year's effort in the single depaoment of
Freedmen's education. The suin of sn,ooo has
been given by a New England ; Baptist for a
school for colored preachers and teachers.
Another has paid $5OOO and bequeathed
$50,000 more, to be paid subsequent to his
• death. Just as the year . was closing another
subscription of $lO,OOO came in.
The Society paid $12,500 in New Orleans to
ward forming a school of a high order, and a
Brooklyn Baptist added $12,500 more, making
$25,006 in all. In Richmond, Virginia, the
Weird has_purchased a handsome property for
the same purpose. Fifty church edifices have
.been added to the existing number during the
past year.
After the reading of the report delegates
from various countries set forth in short
speeches the claims of the Gospel in the vari
ous fields of missionary..labors- Rev._ G. F.
Penticost, of New York ; Rev. A. E. Mothers,
of Michigan'', Rev. J. S. Schotte, of Germany,
and Rev. Doctor Cheney, of California,
the principal speakers. Dr. Cheney espe
cially urged the necessity for sending a Can
tonese-speaking missionary to the 'hundred
thousand Chinese on the Pacific
coast. The only missionary there
knows not . a word of Cantonese:
the native Chinatnan who assists him knows
not a word of English. The first influx of
Chinese consisted entirely °t n .' males. The case
is now different. It was at once thought th.it
the labor spent with the Chinese was money,
wasted. Late events have proven to the con
trary. Of twelve Christianized Chinese who
returned to China it Was afterwards found that
eight of them had become volunteer teachers
of Christianity to those around them.
A motion was made to refer this matter im
mediately to a committee of rive, to report at 4
o'clock this afternoon.
This was agreed to.
The Conanittee, with Dr. Cheney as its
-chairman, at once retired for the purpose pro
posed.
A gentleman made an appeal for money to
work with 14 Mexico, and another for help in
Texas.
Rev. Mr. Simmons, of New York, Secre
tary of the Society, spoke for the colored
schools of the South. In every State he de
sired to see a college for the education of
persons to the work of the ministry. These
reedmen prefer to listen to preachers of their
own coler ; and, Booth to say, son Yet n
they are the blind leading the blind, and both
tall into the ditch. What is wanted is a fitful
of sboo,ooo—the interest to be expended in
carrying out this work. That the Southern
freedmen would gladly do their utmost in the
task the speaker showed by exhibiting a
three•yard long subscription paper represent
ing $7OO, in small sums, contributed from a
single locality by freedmen in humblest cir
cumstances for the purpose of founding such
a school.
Whereas, Certain complications have arisen in the
management of the hational Theological Institute and
University established for the education of colored
Baptist teachers and preachers ; And Whereas. Whe re v , r
the work of the Institute and University has been regu
larly transferred by its proper Board of Managers to Lim
American Baptist Bome Mission Society And Wheren,
In the Judgment of this body, hugely representing the
Baptist deroaninatieh in the United States, it is ex
tr, inely desirable to have the work of educating colored
Baptist monologs and teachers carried on through the
agency 01 the Bowe Mission Society ;therefore,
lirolred, That we hereby unite in a petition to Con
gress to annul and declare ipirl the charter _of the Na
knot Theological Institute and U niversity, the Wee
land Seminary, now in successful neer itiou, being capa
ble of meeting nit the necessities of the Baptist denomi,
nation in the City of Washington.

TIM COUNTERFEIT BRISEi STAMP Bt./SINT: 44 .
Lowls : f. Sherman was this 'mornitig ar
raigned in the X.. S. Court. Judge (.;a•i
willader sitting. He was charged with con
federacy with parties previously arrested, in
the lutterrince of spurious stamps for bar•
leis containing, beer: The Court4ooun
crowded, while the penetralia sot apart for
members of the bar was occupied to the entire
extent of-its capacity:* Some of these gentle
men were counsel for parties anteriorly ar
rested, each of whom appears to have eliosen,
separate and distinct Counsel. The parties first
taken into custody were defended by Theodore •
Oth'schlager, Esq., who, this morning, very
naturally, watched. the frequently-recurring
exfoliation's and developments in the case with
curiosity, in which the professional and the
moral bearings of the case were of evidently
corresponding interest.
The Whisky Ring was looking on, It was
exquisitely linened, profusely diamonded and
elaborately moustached. Col. Sherman wore
a costume of black, moustache included, re
lieved by a vest done in white Marseilles. He
is defended by Gen. Wm. McCandless and
Counsellor John P. O'Neill. Counsellor Gehl
schlager, as micas curice, is seated in close
propinquity.
To empanel ajury occupied just one hour,
District Attorney Valentine - and the defend
ant's counsel exercising to exhaustion the
right to challenge.
The District-Atterney stated his ability to
show, that the accused advanced money to
pay for the plate upon which these stamps
were printed ; that he was seen in communi
cation with the. artist who made it, and that
a portion of these stamps were received by
him in person.
Andrew J. Weightman was sworn—Ho
has been in the secret service of the govern
ment since March last. He formed acquain
tance with the defendant a month ago. A
sheet of stamps shown to him he identified
as one of a lot that he purchased of John
Hart on the night of March ith, on the side
walk, at the northwest corner of Tenth and
- 'Walnut streets,in_this_city._
Mackey was in Hart's company at the time.
The witness repeated the testimony given by
him before the Commissioner who committed
the other parties for trial. Grover was in
terested iu the business. He claimed to have
procured original stamps as samples to copy
from from a collector in this city. He said
.that be had placed in Grover's bands $63, and
had afterwards sent him a telegraphic order
for $62 more.
On cross-examination the witness admitted
that he was engaged in the " Boodle" busi
ness -with Sherman—the business of selling
white,paper upon which toprint counterfeit
money or blanks. By this he made S-1,000 out
-of Id ountjoy, and $5,000 more out of a man in
New York. Mountjoy caused the arrest of
witness for high Way robbery. He was after
wards arrested by Col.Whitelev, not for self--
ink counterfeit stamps, but for selling " Boodle
paper."
He became acquainted with Sherman in
Moyamensing prison. Grover was in the
Boodle business, and Sherman furnished the
capital. They put up a couple of .genuine
bank bills, one on the top and one on the hoz,
tom-of eaeh package. The inter • nin _ a ier
was purchased in Minor street. Sherman and
the witness had it cut to the size of $5 not,
It was entirely blank. For this he received
the $9.000. After this be went with„Whiteley
as a detective.
The witness got acquainted with Sherman
last October. . waS undersfood.that4l'tlf --
money for engraving and printing the hove
stamps was to go to Hart.
The authenticity of a telegraphic despatch
giving orders for the payment of $62 to Grover.
signed Foster & Sherman, was now proven.
The Court is still in session.
LOCAL CnownEn.Strawberries are selling
to-day at from thirty to forty cents a guar,
The yield - of OW season; unless 'drowned - onr
by rains, promises to be prodigious.
—The Temperance Blessing" is helping
the anti-whisky cause, by distributing temper
ance tracts in the various Churches. The work
of Mr. Heritage is a good one.
—The metallic inside work -of the ti: s.
steamer Brooklyn, now at the Navy Yard, is
to be plated with nickel. - Her pistols, sabres.
and the muskets of the marines are to be simi
larly served. The barrels are coated inside a ,
well as out. The,invention of dissolving nickel
and applying it to the surface of other Metal.;
fly means of electro-galvanism, is_ one of in—
creasing value.
—Dogs certainly reason. If they don't, why
is it that if you strike Mr. Jones's ball-pup
with your cane the quadruped aims the retalia
tion at your leg instead of your stick? We
know dogs that not only never wear muzzles,
but laugh at the dog-catchers. If pursued
they run straight ahead. It is only by under
taking to double in his tracks that Fido finds
himself in the dog-cart.
—The sturgeons are coming up the Dela
ware. Their arrival is rather in advance of
the season. -- They generally wait until shad
have east their spawn. The sturgeon fishery
begins about the time that shad fishing is
ended. Since the art of hermetically sealing
provisions has been perfected the sturgeon
has doubled in value. His flesh is now pre
pared in a manner that makes a tolerable
substitute even for salmon. His roe, that
was once neglected as offal, is now converted
into an entirely acceptable equivalent, in the
shape of " caviar," to that produced from the
sturgeon of the Volga. To the spawn of the
shad and herring the sturgeon is terribly de
structive. For being as fat as a porpoise he
deserves no credit.
—Whatever the people of St. Clement's
Church undertake they are certain to do well.
At their Sunday School anniversary, the other
night, the chancel was not only a mass of fra
giant bloom, but the warbling of some fifty
canaries was added to the voices of the chil
dren. Doctors Stuart and Batterson have
every reason to plume themselves upon their
pastoral success.
—A down-town lady, yesterday, undertook
to " smack the mouth" of a local telegraph
operator,
because he couldn't telegraph to
Camden for her stray Child. At the next elec
tion, she says, she'll make her husband vote
the other ticket. She is supposed to be relate..
to the lady who expected to get a daguerreo
type of her baby by exhibiting to the operator
its clothes and sucking-bottle.

that the people here are divided, and that
there has been a change in the propositions
sent to Canada. Before the Commissioners
started some changes were found necessary by
the Executive, and they had to decide upon
them quickly, as the people here were anxious
to see them start, for Ottawa; and those slight
alterations will, I think, be found for the best
in the long run. Secretary Bann will place
wm-belbr-e---thti-Housti—t-o4nor_raw print .1 '
French and English, that you °may judge for
yourselves of, these changes. The Couitnis
sioners had certain powers in regard to these
demands, but before anything was settled theY
were instructed that the approval of the Leg
islative Assembly of the country was nece:-
sary.; so that, while--complying-with cirtitini
stanees, we reserved a clause that the rat
ification of the action of our Commissioners
depended on the will of our - Legislature;
!Cheers.] I thank the 13 on. gentlemen,for the
attention they have given me with regard to
Executive appointments. We- must bear in
mind that they are, merely provisional in their
natue. It is said We are going to fight with
England ; but we hare :wit intention; and
sonic will find that the present arrangement,
such as it is, is more provisional than they
think."
