The question as to whether the payment of von
oommutation money exempts a drafted man for
three years or only for the pending draft, Which
has been all along a disputed point., has been at.
last authoritatively settled. Provost Marshal
General Pry, in a dispatch to the Provost Mar
shal General of New-York, dated Washington.
November let, says
" The President has ordered that every citizen
who has paid the ssoo commutation shall receive
The same credit therefor as if he had furnished 31
substitute, and is exotterated front military ser
vice for the time for whica he was drafted, to
wit, for three years."
The people are indebted for this decision,, to
the desire of the Administration to make capita!
for the New-York election. lied it not been re•
quired for that purpose, (hey would doubtless
have continued in the far front " blessed ignor
ance" that the conflicting opinions of Govern
ment officials upon this question, had led them
into.
RCAvT ROBBeRY AT ALLENTOWN.—The Ticket.
Office of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and the
Store of Reck & Saeger, at. Allentown, were
robbed of about $4,000 in money, and a number
of checks and valuable papers, on Friday last at
noon, while the clerks in charge of the places
were at dinner. Thetbief was arrested the same
evening at Bethlehem, and on being searched.
all the stolen money and papers were found on
his person and in his carpet bag, He made a
fell confession of the robbery, and gave his
name as Edward Brown, and Darks county as
his residence. We learn that he is an old offen
and that his real home is Baltimore, but
that he has been occasionally about this neigh
borhood during the last few years. He is now
in prison at Allentown.
brown, after his arrest, implicated three young
men, said to be from Reading, as his accom.
plices, and stated that they would arrive in
Bethlehem in the ft o'clock train from Easton.
The officer who arrested Brown accordingly laid
in waiting for them, and, by the description giv
en, arrested the whole three, and took them be
fore a magistrate, where, it is alleged, a quantity
of counterfeit money was found upon them. The
whole party are now in the Easton jail. As they
have reepeCtalge Connections here, who are con
fident that they have been wrongly accused, and
can make their innocence clear, we suppress
their names.
Mr TER New FRACTIONAL TREASURY NOTES.
authorized by Congress to take the place of the
postage currency, are now out, and the most
miserable failures that were ever attempted in
the way of a circulating medium. We sow a
specimen in the shape of one of'the 25 cent notes
a few days ago, and we confess it surprised us to
believe that any sane man in the Treasury lie
partment could have been imposed on to such
al extent as to accept such stuff for decent pa
per money. They look more like the fancy labels
for Perfumery and Quack Medicines, than any
thing else, and would he very poor affairs for
even those purposes. If Mr. Chase cannot do
better, let him hold on to the Postage Currency
—it is infinitely preferable to these new opolio
gies for notes.

POLITICS IN THE CHURCH,
It has been the pride and boast of the Pro
tostam Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania, that,.
from its earliest o rganizaiion—which was coeval
with the formation of tira civil government of
the United .States—and under the administra
tion of the pore and godly Bishop White (the
coutetuporary.and spirit tint pastor of Washington)
and his learned and pious (t for a brief period
erring) successor—it has stood calmly aloof
from all the disturbing political controversies
that have from time to time arisen, and confined
itself exclusively to its only proper mission of
„ preaching Christ and Him Crucified." But,
at last, it must be confessed with regret and
mortification, the contagion which had its origin
amid the pharisaic cant and semi infidelity of
Puritan New England, and was not long in
spreading its baleful influence among the other
religious societies of the North, has seized and
defiled this pace really conservative and spiritual
Ecclesiastical body. To reflecting men—those
who deduce effects from obvious causes—such a
1 degradation of the Episcopal Church into a
Wince-religious cabal, omissions .no great sur
prise; for the danger was to be apprehended,
and might have been foreseen ever since the
adoption by the laity of the mistaken policy of
overlooking the merits of our own native clergy,
and seeking for "preachers" to fill our highest
dignities and chief parishes from among the
toritinal Epieespalians who have been trained in
the ism-alic atmosphere where the dogma that
" the times demand an anti-slavery Constitution,
an anti-slavery Bible, and an anti-slavery God,"
has become a tired article of religious belief.
Oar readers will of course understand that
these remarks have reference to the recent poll
tical performance of Bishop l'otter and seine
eighty or a hundred .r his clergy, in issuing an
electioneering document of the most offensive
partizan character, with the evident design of
in4luencing the votes of the;,- people In the 90116
elVeiloll. We intended to have noticed this gross
outrage upon the traditional pure and undefiled
posture of the Episcopal Eburelt, at the time it
was committed; but purposely refrained, lest
our remarks should be ascribed to political pre
judice, aroused and heigltened by the excite
ment of a warmly contested canvass. Now,
however, that the excitement has passed away,
:and we can calmly review the events from which
it sprang, we claim the right of an humble lay
man of the Church that has been thus degraded
by (may we not say with truth ?) an apostate
priesthood, to record our " indignant reproba
tion" of their act. In doing this, a brief re
capitulation of the circumstances will be proper.
In January, 1861--three months before the
rebellion began, and when the purest and best
men of the country were earnestly engaged in
attempting to arrest the demon of sectional strife
twy peaceful measures which all good citizens
hoped and prayed would, under the Providence
of God, prove successful—the venerable Bishop
110PKINS, of the Diocese of Vermont, now the
senior Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the
United Suttee—a man eminent among his brother
prelates for piety and learoiug—published a let
ter, setting torch what, in his opinion, tans the
" Bible View of Slavery." This " View " con
tained nothing new—for the subject-matter did
tot admit of it—but was merely a concise, ar•
gumentative and logical statement of a fact
which has been proved over and over again by
theologians, and which is patent to every dis
passionate student of the Scriptures, that the
existence of the relation of master and slave is
recognized by the Bible, and regulated by pre
cepts, but nowhere condemned as a sin, or for
bidden. This'letter was before the public for
over two years mid a half, and we may infer that
its contents were not regarded as either novel or
dangerous in a social, moral or political sense,
or heterodox in a religious sense, from the
fact that during all that time it elicited no reply,
in controversion of its arguments and conclu
7ffelitt, /4 was nei iiglil Septemeer, 1 86 3, a few
weeks only before the Pennsylvania election,
that Bishop Putter and a number of the Phila
delphia Clergy suddenly discovered that it. was
"an effort to sustain, on Bible principles, the
States in rebellion," (or in the words of the
partizans whose dirty-work they were doing, a
i'disloyal" and treasonable " document) which
called for a denial of their " complicity ur sym
pathy with it, and challenged " their indignant
reprobation." This .. Protest," as it is called,
is published on our outside page," and we think
our readers will agree with us that a more par
tial, rode, malevolent, uncharitable or unchris-
tian paper, never was penned. it exceeds, in
intemperate words and vindictive spirit, the
vilest electioneering bulletin that...ever was
is
sued. In what admirable commit, do the lan
guage and temper of the assailed atil misrepre
sented Bishop's reply appear I—which we copy,
immediately following the "Protest."
A peßior, of the AWOL history of this " Pro
test" has come to light since the election ; and
from it we learn that Bishop Potter was 110 L its
author, as has been generally supposed, but that
it originated Wilk two or three "imported"
clergy of the Wendell Phillips school—abolition.
ists by education, and agitators by instinct and
habit ; and that the Bishop's signature waa with
held until, at hilown suggestion, the names of
over one half the city clergy had been obtained—
b3- which he betrayed a. degree of truckling
timidity that will place him, among his new no
soeiateF, in the very lowest order of political
tricksters. But, having headed the list, and
thus given to the paper all the authority of his
official position, be has made himself responsi
ble for its contents, and their consetplences to
the Church of which he is the head.
The object of this politico-clerical " Pr& est"
—put forth on the eve of the election, and attempt
ed to be justified on the basely false plea that
Itieliop Hopkins's argument applied to a R&M of
oPirs that had no exi3tenel when it was written—
is too palpable to escape notice. it was got up
premeditatedly, with the intention to influence
the votes of the laity in the Ilplocopal Church
against the Democratic party. This intention
will he more apparent when we' state a fact
which every Episcopalian It nows, I hat I he 'Bishops
of that Church are as independent of each other
as the Governors of the several Nlates—that
none of them has any authority, in matters of
doctrine, discipline or worship, outside of his
own Diocese, nor within it, except in obedience
to the established articles, creeds and formularies
of the Church. The writings, therefore, of any
of its Bishops or Ciergy, upon any subjects, the
ological or secular, are no more than expressions
of individual opinion, with no official sanction,
and entitled to no greater weight than the char
acter of the author, for learning and piety, may
adventitiously give them. Bishop Hopkins's
opinions in regard to the Bible View of Slavery"
are no more binding,upon Bishop Potter and his
Abolition Clergy, than are theirs upon Bishop
Hopkins. Each is at perfect liberty to entertain
and express what lieW3 he pleaues upon a sub
ject of this 'sort. The attempt, therefore, of
Bishop Potter. to set himself up in judgment
upon a brothor4trelate, and to not only virtually
excommunicate him, but actually to unehrislionize
him, was not only impertinent, hut a wanton and
unjustifiable attack., which, could have originated
only in political passion and partizan malignity.
There is an old and vulgar adage which says
" a dirty bird that fouls its own neat." xt, may
be considered vide and irreverent in us to apply
it to gentlemen who are invested with the oiler
of sanctity; but, if they will persist, with their
eyes open, in wading into the lowest depths of
the miry pool of party politics, they must not,
complain should their robes be soiled and be
spattered With tilth. By lending the weight of
their influence to the unscrupulous opponents of
a layman of their own communion, who has
held a dietinguinhed pinee in its councils, whom
personal character and professional reputation
are irreproachable, anti who is, in spite of all
his revilers have said, as pure a patriot as lives
end casting it, by a publication of the unfairest
and most offensive kind, in favor of a candidate
whose. religious antecedents end association'
have no allinity with their own, and who has
been proved, by the confession of his own par
tizans, to be thoroughly venal and corrupt,
Bishop Potter and his clergy have acted the
part. of the " dirty bird." It. may afford them a
malicious gralificatiOn le know that they hive
succeeded in dragging the once pure, stately and
conservative Epitespal Church down to the low
level of the bickering religious sects Whose
preachers have become politicians and thorough
ly abolitionized their congregations—they may
take to themselves the unenviable credit of hay.
ing given a above to "the vigorous prosecution
of the war" (not for the L'nion but.) for the ex
tinction of slavery—but we can tell them, in all
soberness, and much more in sorrow than in oa•
ger, that they have, by,thus sinking the Priest in
the Politician, done their Church an injury that
years of prayer and penance, and repentant effort
in their only proper sphere as Ministers of the
Gospel, will not repair.
It. is some consolation for Episcopalians who
prefer the old paths to know that. the Ass'stant
Bishop of this Diocese, and some sixty of the
Clergy, refused to be led into or to countenance
this unseemly and inexcusable political perfor
mance. hot us hope that, they may constitute
the salt" that. will ultimately save their Church
from the corruption which the leaven of politi
cal abolitionism is now working within it.
THE FRAUD PROVED
That the State of Pennsylvania was carried by
fraud at the recent election, ho one can doubt,
who candidly examines the returns, and cot:s

COMMIS OF BitlAYBRS.—The National Con
gress of Brewers held its annual session in Cin
cinnati, Ohio, on the 28th and 29th ult. All the
Northern States, and the Border States of Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, with the
city of Washingtou,were represented, and among
the members present were many gentlemen of
liberal education and ability in parliamentary
debate. - FURDERICK LARCH, Esq., of Reading,
Pa., occupied the chair as President ; and, the
proceedings being conducted in German and
English, life knowledge of both lanknages enabled
him to discharge the duties of presiding officer
with facility and efficiency. A series of regain
lutiens were adopted, instructing the Executive
Committee to prepare a memorial to Congress
setting forth that. after 15 months' trial of the
Internal Tax system, they are satisfied with its
main features, but, in consequence of the ad
vanced prices of hops, malt, coal, and labor,
since the Ist of April last, they would suggest
a reduction of the duty on malt liquors to 50
cents a barrel, but under no circumstances
should it be increased ; and also asking that. the
tat paid upon Lager Peer brewed prior to the
let of September, 1862, which was collected of
them through the mistaken officiousness of Col
lectors, and contrary to the intention of the law,
be refunded. A resolution was proposed, offer
ing it premium of .$5OO for the discovery of a
substitute for rosin, with which to " pitch " the
beer-barrels and kegs. Along debate ensued,
during which a Mr. Kleiner very appropriately
remarked that a. premium should also be offered
for a Clneral alto could bring the war with the
South to a speedy close, for then the two Caroli
nas mould supply then/ with plenty of first-Ohie
pitch; whereas now they were likely to stick
fast " in !aces and other expeneee, and yet be
without. pitch. The resolution and amendment.
were adopted, amid loud applause.
Mr. LAUEn was re-elected President, and also
made Chairman of the Executive Committee;
and the Congress adjourned to meet next year
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—t he "German Athens."

THE CORRUPTIONS OF TILE TIRES
PII , LADIMPHLA, Oa. 27th, 7803.
Ma. RUITOrt
It is related o: the celebrated Roman General,
Ernilius Paulus, who conquered the barbarians
in Spain, and made himself master of two bun
' dred and fifty cities, that •• he did not enrich
himself a single drachma by the war." How
noble must this Roman appear to us at the pres
ent Lime. How pure, how apathies, must hie
character shine forth! We are led at once to
compere his conduct with that of some of our
own Genera's. As a consequence resulting from
such a comparison, we despise those military
officers who have made Ibis present war a means
for fitting their pockets. In ancient times, " the
conqueror of Lw, hundred and fifty cities," did
not lay hid hands on a " single drachma,"—in
our •modern days men ranking as Generals, put
forth all their energies for the vile rurpotte of
robbing the Government. It makes us sick of
the war when we read of men like Curtis,—like
Fremont; who, though they have
done nothing whatever iu the great cause, yet
fatten upon the treasures, which the people have
contributed towards carrying it on. We despair
of the result, when we not only find the military,
but also the civil officers engaging in this whole
sale robbery. And yet, it is It notorious fact,
that almost every one who is connected with the
present administration, makes the most strenu
ous efforts to lay hold of some portion of. the
public funds. Generals, Congressmen, Provost.
igttfShale, Department Clerks, Contractors and
a host of others 44 gobble up" everything they
can find in the shape of money. Clothed with
power, honors, titles,. and gorged with einceures
and wealth obtained from the plunder of the
people," the whole pack rushes on, utterly dis
regarding law and justice, and wholly uncon
corned as to whether the Constitution is blotted
out or the Union destroyed.
