THE REcoRDER.-We published yesterday,
sa;s the n Y Courier, the presentment of the
Grand Jury, from which it appeared that
they have found no indictment against Mr..
GLExTwoRTH, in consequence of the want OF
competent testimony to justify ii. So much
for the evidence relied upon BY Mr.. BUTLER,
to destroy the reputation of such men as GRIN
NELL, Bowen, BLATcHFoRD, and WET
MORE.
Mr.. Recorder Nouns has not Jared so well
as Mr.. GLESTwoRTH. Ifbe had kept quiet, and
had omitted to boast of his midnight exploits in
his charge to the Grand Jury, he might have
escaped their notice. He saw fit, however, to
exult in the outrage he had committed, and the
Grand Jury have thought it their duty to pre-
sent him, for the Illegal seizure of the papers
Of citizen, the personal execution of the office
Of search, and the publication in the newspa.
pers OF affidaVits and dispositions taken before
him in reference TO complaint proposed to be
laid before the Grand Jury.

LECTURE OF THE Hon. JOHN Quincy ADAMS
BEFORE TIE MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
The Mercantile Library Association of this
city announced that the Hon. John @. Adams.
would deliver the introductory lecture to the
regular winter course Tuesday evening, at
the Rev. Mr.. Dune ms church IN Fayette street
An hour before the time stated for the lecture to
begin, the house was crowded. At o'clock
Mr. Adams began his lecture, which was upon
the Progress Of Society. He traced this progress,
from the time when man was hunter, living
in the dark primeval woods; his mindas filled
with doubtful maDes and gloomy eaverns a:
the forest through which he followed his prey
on TO the condition OF shepherd, living in tents
and then described him as a tiller of the soil
and finally as townsman. The address aboundet
in fine points, and the manner OF the lecture
was earnest and impressive. We are gratifet
at noticing the spirited and energetic name
with which the Library Association have pre-
pared for their winter series Of lectures Gu
citizens will, we doubt not, be gratified will
rare intellectual entertainments.

The skiff was carried by the curIenttO the dam,

and finally stuck fast. In this situation MIR.
Kidd remained upwards of four hours, before he
was discovered and rescued.

PROCEEDINGS.

At a very full meeting of the students OF the
University Of Virginia, held on the 18th Of No
vember 1910, the following preamble and reso-
buttons were submitted by Mr.. F. X. RIvES, and
unanimously adopted:
As our able and distinguished Professor Of Law
has been severely wounded by an individual who
deliberately shot him last night, without the
slightest provocatIon on the, part OF MIR. Davis,
it behooves US as students of the University OF
Virginia, to express, in the strongest terms, our
Indignation at such eonduct-conduct equally
shocking to every sentiment Of honor, every obli-
CATION Of morality, and every principle OF hui
manity.
We had hoped that crime had never found
resting place within these calm retreats, "whose
Threshold the distracting care of the world, OF
its beguiliag pleasures, never croes"-it was but
a sweet self-delusisn.
Let US not suffer the vivid rec elections OF our
University apprenticeship that are reserved for
us in future, nor the present glowing sympathy
in each others elevsting pursuits TO De dimmed
by this dark deed of a single person, with whom
we consider it a sad misfortune to own cemmu-
nifty with nature, but boldly cast of every imPu-
tation that may be made against our honor as a
body-tor such we would regard any and every
remark implying our justification Of the abomi-
nable act-by the adoption of the following res
olutions:
Res0t1ed, That we sincerely regret the unior-
tunate accident that has befallon our Professor
of Law, Mr. Davis, and earnestly hope that a
| speedy recovery will enable him to resume the
duties of his Chair
ResoEvod, That we will use every possible ex-
ertion to find out the pepetrator OF the act, that
he may receive his merited punishment-the obi
UNI and contempt Of the students-expuision by
the Faculty, and just condemnation by the com
petent tribunals of the country.
RESOLVED, That we view the author OF the out
rsgcous crime only in the light Of a base ossas-
sin, if such words are adequate to express the
| force of our opinions.
ResoIred, That these resolutions be published
in the Collegian. the Charlottesville, Richmond
ard Staunton papers.

The BALTIMORE LITERARY AND RELIGIOUS
MAaAzINE.-We have received the December
number Of this publication. 1t contains much
matter for the serious consideration of the Pro-
testant portion Of feilow-citize ms. The ar
ticle on the esprit and Movements of Papacy,"
opens with this paragraph:
''The only European monarch who can di-
rectly interfere with our government, Is the
Pope ofRome white at the same time he is the
only one, who, by the assumption of an infalli-
bic wisdom, has pronounced it herehcal, there
by shutting himself up, on the principles OF
common honesty, and by II the Impulse OF
benevolence pertaining to his divine viceger-
ency, to the necessity of making the holy at
tempt of revolutionisngit. That he only, of
all monarchs, can directly interfere, is evident
from the fact, that no other power, but the Ro-
man Pontif, has, or can have men subject TO
them, who at the same time are American clt-
gems. The moment that Protestant swears
allegiance to our government, he not only dis
claims all others, but entirely ceases to owe
them any homage. Not so, however, with the
papist, he cannot. at the peril of his souls
damnation, abiure the government OF the pope,
and if he did, it would be nullity. This arr
ses from the fact, that the pope, as Gods wee
gerent, exercises at once, temporal and
sDlrltDai MONARCHY. WHICH are OOti Oh OOusdllu
that to the exclusion Of all other systems so that
no matter where papist is born, or where he
resides, he is, and ofnecessity must be, sub
Jet of the pope of Rome, and that too, IN de-
spite of any oath, even TO the contrary
This is fact that should never be lost sight
Of The editors of the Literary and Religious
Magazine, have been, for years, untiriug in their
efforts to awaken in the community lively
sense of the danger that is threatened 70 our po-
litical institutions by the advances of Popery in
this country. They, with their coadjutors, have
not labored in vain.
The indifference which has so long existed in
the public mind upon this subject, is passing
away. Thousands whs, few years ago ridicul- |
ed the idea of any dangerous foreign influence
upon this country through the agency of the |
Pope, are beginning to see that there is just |
cause of alarm. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are annually collected among Catholic sub
iects in Europe, and sent to this country for the
propa CATION of principles utterly opposed to civil
and religious liberty This IS not a fact upon
winch to repose and dream of security, and
knowledge of it is consequently arousmg the
Indifferent, and awakening the already active
to double diligence.

Decentralization to experiments,
the electric fluid travels at the rate of two hum
dred thousand miles in a second. This is
twelve millions of miles minute. Previous
experiments had proved that light travelled at
the rate of eight millions of miles in a minute.
Though the last be a velocity difficult to con-
ceive, we do not find much greater difficulty
in conceiving the other. Light is probably a
modification ofelectricity in combination with
other matter; and this combination may dimin-
ish its velocity. However this be, sufficient
is known to prove that electricity, light, mag
netism, galvanism, caoric or heat, and oxygen
if not identical, belong to the same family.
Fire can always be hndled by electricity. So
can it be by galvanic battery, or the concen-
tration of the solar light. So can it be by some
operation of magnetism. No combustion can
be sustained without oxygen: and oxygen sup
ports animal life by being mixed with the
blood. This mixture imparts heat to the blood
and animal lie is always accompanied by heat.
Blood mixed with oxygen is red, and deprived
oft is black. A stream of the electric, galva-
mic, or magnetic fluid will render black blood
red, thus producing upon it the effect of oxy-
gen, and so far proving their identity with
that gas We thence infer, not that electricity,
or galvanism, or magnetism, is oxygen, but that
oxygen contains one or the other of these
fluids, and that all three are essentially the
same.
Heat is the source of Ill animal and vegeta-
bic life, and electricity is doubtless the founda-
ton Of heat. Magnets, electric machines, and
galvanic batteries are merely different lnstru-
ments for exhibiting the same substance or
principle, and we believe this principle TO be
the vital principle of all creation.-New York

THE JEWS OF CHARLEsToN.-We have
taken some pains to ascertain the cause OF the
recent separation which has taken place in the
Hebrew congregation of this city.
The question upon which they divided, was
whether they should introduce an organ into
the Synagogue service, which was decided, we
learn by vote of A to 40 in favor of the in
novation-the officiating minister either &C.
companying or leading the majority. The mi
nority were of the opinion, that having the or
gan on the Holy Sabbath and other holy days
involved violation of the fourth command
ment, and as that commandment included
the stranger that is tCithin their gales, it
would be a sin for them either to do it
themselves or TO employ any other who is not
Jew to do it. And that though the organ was
employed in the sacred services of the Temple,
it was when they were distinct nation, and
when the regular sacrifices were offered But
according to their sacred books, or books of
very high authority, the organ was not to be
used during their dispersion in the solemn wor-
ship Of God, as itsuited not their condition, and
was not expressive ofthat humility, which they
should feel for their sins, on account of which
God had long been dealing with them in anger.
