WHAT DOES 1T MEAS?-This city is flooded with
Buealo money, made to represent New York city
money. We do not know any thing against it in
particular, but have strong suspicion against it in
general. AT any rate, there is too much Buffalo mo-

harm in cautioning the public to be careful whom
they trust in these tcklsh times.

THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY Day LrGHr.-On
Thursday evening George Hilyer, a confidential
attache Of the Astsr House, sent by the propr-
etsrs to the Commercial Bank with $500, to make
deposite. The youth returned, and reported that
he had been knocked down in Chambers street, and
robbed. The affair appeared one Of those singular
condolences that seldom happen without the con-
nivance OF Their obber and the matter was put into
the hands of Gil Hays and Welsh, who, on searching
the trunk of Hilyer, found silver spoon belong
ing to the Astor House, who satisfied them that the
robbery was what is technically termed /" put up
one" They, therefore, took him into custody, and
he then told them the whole story. II seems that in
Murray street resided hackmsn, named William
Hawks, between whom and Hilyer an acquaint-
ance had long existed. The latter mentioned to his
friend the fact Of his making the depostes and to
gether they planned the robbery. Hawks was to
meet Hilyer in Chambers street, whilst the latter
was to hold the money carelessly in his hand, and
the hackman having secured the prize, was to bolt.
The whole ruse succeeded, and but for the Disco
very of the spoon, in all probability the property
would have been lost TO Messrs. Stetson & Co Luck
lily, however, Hawks had not time TO place the
booty beyond the ken Of the ndefatigabes and both
these cunning thieves now safe in the tombs,
awaiting their trial aud conviction.

Religious Intelligence.

The difficulties which existed in the Methodist
Church in Willett street, while the Rev. Mr. kel-
logg was pastor, we are glad TO learn, are rapidly
vanishing, under the judicions management OF the
Rev. Marvin Richardson, who is now the stationed
preacher of that church.
The largest Sunday School in the world is at
Stockport. in England. The number of pupils in
1888, was pa, aud teachers 400 II probably num-
bers at present about 5000 exclusive of nearly 500
teachers.
The general conference of the Methodist Church
es in England, met at Newcastle in July. The Rev.
Robert Newton was elected President, and the Rev.
Dr. Hannah, Secretary.
In consequence of some unpleasant feelings exist
ing in the Vestry street Church, the Rev MIR. Da-
Wis., the present pastor, will shortly leave and will
join ansther conference. Poor man what with pri-
vate piqaes and detestable aboltionism, we must
lose useful, intelligent and warm hearted preacher
and gentleman.
The Christian Advocate and Journal is well edit
ed by the Rev. Dr. Bond; but we regret to hear
that he is not very popular. In what way he means
to fight his way through, time alone will determine
The Rev. Mr.. Labanee, Presbyterian, has accept
ed the appointment of President of the College at
Burlington, Vermont. He will enter upon his new
duties about the LIST of October.
PREPosTERoUs.-There's end to the absurd
suggestions and statements of politicians on both
sides. The last great wing folly is an insnuation
that the democrats contemplate the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Van Buren,.
correspondent of the New Orleans Advertiser,
writing from Nashville, Tenn. under date of August
p, says:

here anxious for Van Buren, to withdraw, that Gen.

may seem, the idea is entertained and if it is car

ly entertained

INSTRUMENTATION FoR DEBT.

We observe that efforts will be made TO agi-
tate anew the Bankrupt bill. Upon question
in which SO nuch depends on the details, we
may expect to find great difficulty ana difference
of opinlan, even among tie friends OF the general
principles Of the bill, bat 1t has always seemed Il
rs that the most efficient remedy, and one which
might be carried with slight efforts, is the repeal
Of the law authorising imprisonment for debt.
New York has found it to be her interest to
adopt such law, and IN this advanced stage OF
civilization, it is matter of surprise that this
remnant of barbarism should continue a stain
upon our statute books. -

LOUISVILLE, CINCINNATI AND CHARLESTON
RuL Roam CoMpANY.-A meeting Of the stock
holders of this Company was held in Charleston
on the 18th instant, at which various resolutions
were passed, looking to the relief of the Com
pany from existing smbarrassmentS. 1t was re-
solved TO petition the Legislature of South Ca
rolina so to modify the charter Of the Company,
as to reduce the stock of the Company one 6fth;
thus making each stakeholder liable FOR four
fifths Of the stock standing IN his namej and
thereby lessening the amount Of his future in
stalmentS. Such a reduction would extend to
the stock held by the State, ths city of Charles
ton and the Banks; but an appeal is to be made,
setting forth the embarrassments which have
rendered necessary to the stockholders this mca-
sure Of relief, and urging upon them TO waive
the proposed reduction.
A committee of six were appointed to enquire
and report at an adjourned meeting whether the
present organization of the Louisville, Cincin-
natl, and Charleston Rail Road Company may
not be 30 amalgamated, as to add to the eff
cheney, unity and economy of their administra-

saved, and greater efficiency secured A Teso-
l,tisn approving the pSrchase of slaves to work
upon the road was also passed. The whole Of
the actien taken by this meeting, indicates
on the part Of the stockholders
to prosecute the work with energy. The meet
ing adjourned to meet On the first Monday in

NEW SCIENTIFIC THEORIES.

The New York Commercial Advertiser con-
tains communication from Mr.. Thomas Bass
net, of Ottawa, illinois, IN which he declares
himself TO be the discoverer of new philosophi-
cal system, entirely at variance with that popu-
lary received at the present day. But he declines
publishing to the scientific world, at this time the
principle upon which his new theories are based
Some two years ago, he made propositions for
publication to the editor Of tie New York Com
mercial Advertiser, and offered to submit to him
his manuscripts for per sal. Since that time,
some circumstance " transpired, we presume,
he made, and does so under the exhibition of
some feeling. In his communication, he says:
81 am well acquainted with the pile of evidence
BY which modern systems of science are upheld;
but also know that the principles on which they
are based are unsatisfactory to their frinest ad-
vocates Let us look into astronomy and chem
istrys We there see principle or principles pro-
dscing ponderosity, cohesion, affinity and the
hke-giying figure to the planets, and preserving
them III their orbits; rendering matter Solid hard
tenacious, du;tile, Sc.; forming innumerabie
compounds froG a few simple elements; binding
articles OF liquid into drops, and VARYING them
into tubes; and for all such phenomena we have
different agents under the generic title of attrac-
tion, oil which no mechanical explanation can be
given. Yet these systems are styled orthodox;
