It appears from 'the Confession of Faith
of the Westminster divines, that the civil
magistrate was recognized by them as
having authority in such matters. The
language of the Confession on this subject
is as follois
"The civil magistrate may not assume
to himeelf-tbe administration of the word
and iacrafnents, or the power of the keys
of the Kingdom of Heaven; yet he hath
authoritY, and it, is his duty, to take
order, that unity and peace may be pre
served in the church, that the truth of
God be kept pure and entire, that all
blasphemies And heresies be suppressed,
all corruptiO, a and abuses in worships
and discipline prevented or reformed, and
all the ordinances of God duly settle ,
administered and observed. For e
better effecting whereof he hath pow r,
to call synods, to be resent at the ,
and to provide that W atsoever is tra s
eated in them be according to the nii d
of God." Chap. 23. Sec. 3.
It is proper to state that most, if not
all t of the Presbyterian Churches in this
conntry, have declared in substance,
that nothing appertains to the magistrati
cal power in reference to the Church, 4-
cept the protection of her members in the
Jun possession, exercise and enjoyment
of their rights, inasmuch as his office,
being civil and political, is exterior to
the Church. It is declared further that
the civil magistrate has no right to "in
terfere to regulate matters of faith and
worship." His duty is "to protect the
person, good name, estate, natural and
civil rights of all his subjects, in such a
way that no person be suffered, upon
any pretence, to violate them; and to take
order that all religions and ecclesiastical
assemblies, be held without molestation
or.disturbance."
THE ELECTIONS.
The vote in Kentucky and Alabama
has been a light one. In the first the op
position have elected a large majority in
each branch of the Legislature, and their
State Treasurer, the only officer chosen
on a general ticket, has received about
two-thirds of the entire poll. Alabama
elected six Congressmen and a Legisla
ture on the 3d, but, at this writing, we
have no definite returns of the result.
The vote of Tennessee on Thursday was
larger than the State has ever before
girl', being for the first time participated
in both by the white and colored races.
Very nearly the entire of that white ele
ment which 'has hitherto been disfran
chised for disloyalty, has been relieved
from the disability by the policy of oev.
Smernn in the administration of the reg.
istry-law. It will surprise no one,
who has observed the course of
the canvass in that State, to learn that
Simi= is re-elected by a very large ma
jority and that the opponents of radical
Republicanism, comprising Democratic
Conservatives and rebels, have full con
trol of the new Legislature. This body
will elect an U. S. Senator, and will also
proceed to reverse the existing policy of
the State in reference to the suffrage. It
is probable that every White citizen will
be legally enfranchised, and that the col
orectsuffrage will be materially restricted,
if not altogether prohibited for the Allure.
Yet, upon these questions and that of
the Senatorship; there are possibly the
elements of great discord among the
Legislative majority, and the final results
may disappoint to some extent the re-
bel expectations. It will be some days
before we can have definite returns of
Thursday's poll.
PROGRESS WITH THE INDIANS.
Here it is well past the mid-summer,
and we hear nothing yet of the threatened
Indian war. Isolated cases of hostile
outrages have been reported, but nothing
at ail which realizes the fearful apprehen
sions so generally felt at the opening of
the Spring. Indeed these fears did not
seem wholly groundless. In April and
May, the whole broad Indian territory,
from between the head-waters of theXis
souri and of the Arkansas and Red riv
ere, was fruitful of rtunors of a general
war. , We had quite reliable, advices of
such threatening preparations among all
the ksding tnibes, as to justify An almost
universal expectation that the Plains
would:witness; during the current year,
the last bloody struggle of these savages
against the encroachments of civilization.
There are good reasons for believing that
the danger did actually exist,—while the
peaceful repose of more than one-half the
season in which Indian hostilities are
practicable, affords the most acceptable
proof that the peril has been averted.
The entire Indian territory is to-day at
peace.
For this pacific situation we are much
indebted to the vigorous. campaigning of
our troops Wider Sumner( and his lieu
tenants in the late autumn of last year,
and even in the deep snows and, bitter
frost of December and January. The
.predatory tribes were pursued to their fast
nesses, months after the period when tbeir
former experience had guaranteed to them
a temporary exemption from any show
of; nnr military power, and the severest
chastisements ever visited upon these
savages were delivered in a winter cam-
Paign which was without parallel either
for its hardships or, fonts success.
But not'even their punishments would
have alone sufficed to secure our frontier
from the renewal, in -1869c0f Indian ag
gressions. With these tribes, we now
know 3list, at _ f our own policy has been
hitherto adronfstered, .peace was robbery,

Indian wealth, the tribes were systemat
ieally defrauded by our Agents, while our
unprincipled traders, licensed and =li
censed, held them by the throat. They
were annually driven into hostilities
against the frontier, as their only recourse
to supply themselves with the necessaries
of savage life. A tribe which found it
self robbed of the stipulated supplies of
ammunition and blankets, found as regu
larly its only alternative to be either star
vation or war. The disgraceful facts
which have, year after 'year, been asserted,
accounting in this way for the annually
recurring Indian wars, have at last se
cured the most complete proof.
.
The new Indian policy of the present
has completed by peaceful means the
work which - SamarnArr's arms began, and
the conviction that white faith is to be
honorably kept ensures that repose for
our frontier which no respect for our
military power, ample as that has been
proved, could permanently command
among these wretched savrkges. For the
first time-in the history of our dealings
with the Indians, existing treaties are
fulfilled, this year, in their lette; and
spirit, and every tribe which roams over
our territories. or is encamped on there
servations set apart for their Mimes, is
content with a peace which gives to them
protection and the supply of their indis
pensable necessities. Peace Commis
sions, enlightened and faithful Superin
tendents and Agents of capacity and in
tegrity are fast bringing the Indian prob
lem to a satisfactory solution. These are
the instrumentalities which have not only
averted, for this year, that war of exter
mination which seemed unavoidable in
the Spring, but which, sustained faith
ally in the future, must finally accom
plish the peaceful civilization of the sav
age tribes. .
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Hon. John Scott, United , States
Senator . from this,. State, during,the last
session of Congress was besieged by
office•seekers; but gained a quiet Sabbath
by placirue on the door of his apartment
the following notice: All who desire my
influence in obtaining or retaining office
will materially advance their interests by
not calling upon me on the Sabbath day.
It will be remembered that the late
General Assembly, by resolution, warned
the Church against the sin of fcetleide.
The New-York Observer, in referring to
this action, thinks the crime not so com

Church as to render such a warning
necessary. Letters, however, have been
received from different parts of the
country testifying to the frequency
of the crime. The Observer 4 a credulity is
now'shaken. One physician in a small
town reports three cases where he bad
been applied to aid in child•murder;
one application being by an Old School
Presbyterian minister, another by a lady
who was tempted by reading an adver
tisement in a paper edited by a New
School Presbyterian, and a third by a
member of Methodist church.
Frequently paragraphs appear quoting
singular remarks of ministers, without
stating name or denomination. We
always like to know the name and affinity
of these would-be•over-wise ministers.
The following is an illustration: It , is
reported a Chicago preacher recently re
fused to say grace at the table, saying
it was a mere formality, and "the best
grace was to eat moderately, well digest
your meal, and then go to work and earn
another." For 'the same reason he re
fused to pronounce the benediction.

THE OIL TRADE.
Interesting to Oil Shippers—Who Shall
Lose by Lealisge:—Tbe Question Set-.
tied.
Friday morning Judge McCandless,
in the United States 'District Court, de
livered the opinion of the Court in the
case of the United States _vs. Brewer
et. al., which was argued some days
since. The case attracted great attention
among oil dealers, and as given below
will be found very 'interesting and im
portant:
THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
This is a case stated upon an oil trans
portation bond. On the 88th of June,
1863, the defendants shipped by railroad
from the Twentieth District of Pennsyl
yenta to the Fifth District of New Jersey
1,080 barrel's, containing 45,324 gallons of
refined oil, in good packages and under
legal permits and certificates from the
proper authorities. Under like authori
ty the oil was removed from the Fifth
District of New Jersey to the bonded
warehouse of Reynolds, Pratt it Co.. in
the Second District of New York, with
out inspection and gauging in the New
Jersey District, with the same effect as if
the Second District of New York had
been the destination set forth in the per
mitand bond under which such trans
portation was made.
The oil was properly gauged and in
spected in the bonded warehouse of
Reynolds, Pratt dt Co., on the 80th of
July, 1886. By this inspection there was
found to be a loss of 6,264 gallons. For
the tax of twenty cents per gallon upon
this quantity so lost, this action is insti
tuted; the tax upon the residue of the
45,824 galions'having been properly set
tled and accounted for. The effect of
continued extremely hot weather upon
oil barrels,' exposed for the length of
time ordinarily required in transit from
the Twentieth District of Pennsylvania
to the Second District of New York, is to
decompose their lining and open their
seams. From the last of June to the
close of July, 1866, the weather continued
excessively hot. The loss of so much of
the 6,264 gallons as exceeds the quantity
allowed for leakage, by the regulations
of the Department at Washington, arose
from the effect of solar heat upon the
barrels containing it.
The amount of actual leakage on oil
removed in bond at the time of this loss,
allowed by the regulations in pursuance
of the sixty.first section of the Act of the
80th June, 1884, was not to exceed three
and one•half per cent. on any distance ex
ceeding five hundred miles., The dis
tance from the Twentieth District of
Pennsylvania to the Second Distifet of
New York is in excess of flye hundred
miles. ;
It is not disputed that an allowance of
one thousand, Live hundred and eighty
six • gallons. or three and one-half per
cent. on 45,324 gallons, should barnacle
for leakage, but it is claimed that there
should be a'deduction for the remaining
four thousand, six hundred and seventy
eight galloni, because the loss was occa
sioned by the effect of solar heat upon
the article transported. •
This is the question for our deblidon,
and I have given to it all the considers
tioi which the multiplicity of .my judi
cial engagements and the demands upon
niy time would permit.

exempt from taxation. If for sale or
consumption in the United State), it - was
subject to a tax of twenty cents per gal
lon, to be assessed and collected, and
paid . by the producer or manufacturer
thiireof, as is provided by the ninety
fourth section of the act of July 13,.1866.
By the stitty-Brat section (act third,
March, '65,) the oil may be removed,
without the payment of the duty, under
such rules and regulations, and upon
the execution of such transportation
bonds, or other, security, as the
Secretary of = the Treasury may
preacribe. Upon such -removal it
must be transferred to a bonded ware
house, where it is again inspected and
gauged, and "the duty.shall be assessed
and paid on any deficiency or reduction of
the number of gallons (beyond such al
loirance for leakage, as may be estab
lished by tue regulations of the Commis
stoner of Internal Revenue) received at
the warehouses from the number of gal
lons as stated in the bond at the place of
shipment." Here there is a plain ride of
computation, and the per centum of da•
duction being Axed by a regulation of the
Department, in conformity to an Act of
Congress, becomes a part of the law and
of as binding force as if incorporated in
the body of the Act. .
TAX ON OIL.
It is contended by defendants' coun
sel, in an argument of much ability, that
the tax is upon the consumption. It is
not upon the consumption, but upon the
manufactured article.. The government
is not to ascertain whether it has been
consumed, but whether it has been ex
ported. If so, it is free. If not, it is
subject to the tax of twenty per cent. per
gallon. Fixing a maximum per tentage
for leakage, was designed•to prevent the
possibility of /trends, by the with
drawal or abstraction of any portion
of the oil during its period of tran
sit. Stich being the rule pre
scribed by competent authority, courts
have no right to depart from
it, even in case of absolute loss by the
action of the elements. The Govern
ment is not' an insurer. The owner in
curs, and must take the resposibility.
The simple inquiry is, has he complied
with the condition of his bond? Has he
produced to the Collector of the Twen
tieth District of the. State of Pennsyl
vania a certificate showing that such
merchandise has been duly placed in the
warehouse designated. from which it
cannot be removed except for exporta
tion, or, upon payment of the tax, or had
he pai d duties required by law?
THE LEAKAGE.
It is wholly unnecessary to enter into
a discussion as to the effect of solar heat
upon refined oil, or as to the penetrating
and permeating qualities of the liquid
itself. It was precisely because of the
operation of this agency that a rule was
necessary to fix the allowance. In some
cases there would be no leakage at all,
in some less than three and a half per,
cent.; in a majority of cases about three
and a half per cent., and in some cases
much more. On what principle is a rule
of law governing this: subject to be re
!aged and set aside, because there was
extraordinary warm weather in June or
July of a particular year? As was
ably argued -- by the counsel for the
Government, that the leakage in this
case happened in the ordinary way,
was produced by the ordinary causes,
with the difference, that one cause, solar
heat, was operating with more than ordi
nary power. The result was leakage,
and the law, and the regulations of
the Department. do not authorize a
distribution of leakage into Ordinary
and extraordinary as respects an• abate
ment of taxes. The law calls the loss
thus produced leakage. and has pro
vided a rule regulating the • allowance,
from which, however great the hard
ship, it is not our province to depart.
Any other construction would not only
open a wide door to fraud. but would
practically nullify the•regulation itself.
DECISION.
It follows that the defendants have no
lawful claim to or deduction for the feur
thousand six hundred and seventy-eight
gallons, by reason of its loss, caused by
solar heat, and judgment must be ren
dered for the United States for the sum of
nine hundred and thirty-five dollars and
sixty cents, with costs of suit. Judgment
accordingly.

MONTHLY REPORTS.
After the reading of the minutes, Mr.
Crosby Gray, Health Officer, presented
his monthly report, showing that ninety:
eight nuisances had been abated in va
rious parts of the city, under his juris
diction. He also reported seventy-six
dollars realized from permits during the
month. At the same time 'Ass had
been expended, leaving a balance on
hand of $66,15. Daring the month two
cases of small-pox had occurred, one of
which proved Mal. The other patient
is recovering.
Mi 44 l, B. Williams, Assistant Health
OfticeYi also reported that one hundred
and forty-flue nuisances had been abated
according to his notifications during the
month.
Fives the'report of the Meat Inspector,
Mr. Adam Weaver, it appeared that he
had made six hundred and eighty-three
visits during the month to the markets,
and the various meat shops throughout
the city. In that time he had condemned
twenty-seven" lota, ranging from small
pieces to some of one hundred and fifty
pounds weight. The principal part of
the condemned article was corned beef.
The report gave the number of meat
shops in the city, sixty-four, classified as

bLEARLEG THE STREETS,
Mr. Gray presented the article of
agreement authorized by, . and between
the Board and certain parties who were
granted sole privilege to remove all car
casses and similar refuse matters fro - na
the streets and alleys in the city, with
the provision that the work be done daily,
and under the supervision of the. Board.
The agreement was duly signed and
accompanied by the required bond of
$1,500, from the parties, tor the faithful
performance of the contract.
The agreement and bond were ap
proved.
A PERFUMED NOTE.
The Secretary read a cotrunumeation,
in which the writers petioned for license
to conduct their business, of cleaning cess
pools, &c. The petitioners set forth that
they had complied with the ordinance in
the matter by procuring three new air
tight box carts and all the other required
appliances for conducting the business
with dispatch. ' From their plaintive ap
peal it appeared trade • was• quite brisk.
They mildly suggested. that as several
jobs were on hand, and they were an

prdboscis, the other members displayed
their handkerchiefs in brightening up
their vision, and five minutes were im
pressively whiled away in the attempt to
decipher from whom the urgent missive
emanated. Their labors were in vain. '
The paper was then carefully filed, ande,
discussion as to the power of the Board
to grant the favor asked, next enaned.
All the Acts of Assembly in the prem
ises were cited, and finally a decision ar
rived at that as the Board bad already
granted the sole privilege of conducting
the fragrant trade to a certain individual
possessed of patent appliances , for the
same, and as that period bad not yet ex
pired, it was impossible to issue farther
licenses at the present time.
The Board then ordered warrants to be
drawn for the payment of the salaries of
the Health officers and sundry other
little bills, after which the meeting ad
journed.

THE CONDITIONS OF HEALTH.
It is idle to expect health if the precautions
necessary to secure It are neglected. The hu
man organization is a delicate piece of mechan
ism, and reqnires as much intelligent care and
watchfulness to keep it in order, as are requisite
iirtoe management of the most complicated com
bination of levers, wheels and pinto ns.
At this season of the year the body Is peculiar
ty sensitive, because it la great y weakened and
relaxed by tie continuous heat. The skin, In
summer with Its millions of pores wide open, Is
a very different sort of tegument from the com
pact fibrous covering which it beromes nnder the
action of the winterss cold. The muscles, too.
are comparatively flaccid. the nerves tremulous,
the Wood poor, is nd the whole frame less capable
of enduring fatigue and resisting disease. These
- indications of a &pe w sed cordition 'of the vital
forces are so many unmistakable hints that na
ture needs reinforcing.
Ordinary stimulants will not effact this object.
They inflame and excite. but do not strengthen.
