Settlement of the Methodist Church Pro-
perry Question ut New York.--The under

preparing statement for publication of the action
of the commissioners upon the question in litiga-
ton between the M. E. Church North and South,
in relation TO the property Of the book concern in
New York. report the following:
The Hon. John Mclean having voluntarily UNI
dertaken correspondence with the M. +. Church,
and those of the NJ. f. Church South, and having
received assurances from both parties OF dispo-
sition TO come TO amcable settlement OF the
matter in litigation, and having been invited TO be
present at a meeting Of the aforesaid commits
sioners, and 10 aid them with his counsels, met
with them AT the mission rooms, 1879 Mulberry
street. New York, on the Goth ultimo. and, by the
unanimous request Of the commissioners, acted as
chairman
of the whole question: the southern commission
ers made a proposition for settlement Of their
claim, which the commissioners for the New York
concern accepted. Nothing now remains TO be
done TO consummate this desirable adjustment Of
a most troublesome litigation but the execution OF
the necessary papers and the arrangements for a
final decree of the United States court for the
southern district of New York, now in session in
this CITY,
This settlement has been agreed upon by the
parties without the arb,ranent Of third party,
and is beach entirely satisfactory. The conclu-
sion of this settlement was followed by thanks
givings TO God, and most hearty expressions of
christian love and mutual confidence. The feel
ings which prevail among the commissioners Of
the two churches, we may hope, is true type of
that which will prevail hereafter throughout the
bounds of our common Methodism, north and
south.
Much credit is to be awarded 10 his honor Judge
Mclean, for his agency in the completion of this
important and desirable arrangement; and we
doubt not but this act will stand prominently
among those of his long and brilliant career which
have given him so enviable a position before the
christian public.
The details of the settlement will he made
known 10 the public when the final decree of the
court shall transpre

Banking and Currency.-We are sometimes
provoked, while looking what called
Bank Note Reporters, TO see the blunders made
by the editors of such publications. As much ig-
norance is displayed in relation TO the notes of the
District of Columbia, it is presumable that they are
not correctly posted about the banks in the States.
Thompson, we suppose, is as reliable any other
person engaged in his business; but, in his number
for December, he is considerably at fault. He gives
list OF what ne believes 10 be the good banks in
the District" and says that "those no, named are
worthless" Some of those so-called banks, how
ever, named by him, have no existence hereabouts
such the Bank of America, Bank of North Anne.
RIGA, Metropolitan Bank, Washington Bank, and
perhaps one or two others; and besides the Cor.
poration of Washington have no notes in circua.
ton as a currency.
We merely call attention 10 this subject, 10 warn
the public against deception.

Important and Valuable InventiOn.-We
were present recently at exhibition of Sands
and Cummings new patent brick machine, on
North Capitol street, between A and streets,
where number of gentlemen had fine opportu-
nifty of witnessing its wonderful results. It seems to
be perfect, is remarkable for its simplicity, and is
operated with ease, rapidity, and economy. 1t CON-
mences and completes its labor in the most thorough
and expeditions manner, grinding the mortar at the
aame time that it moulds the bricks. According
10 the numerous certificates furnished by pract-
cal mechanics and scientific men, it has, having
been fully tested, and subjected 10 trial, been
found adequate TO every requirement, overcoming
all obstacles, and doing its work in the most salts
factory manner. 1t can be moved by horse,
steam, or water power
The bricks which are mou lded by this machine
are far superior to those that are made by hand,
being more compact, and sharp at the corners.
With six good laborers and two horses, from four
teen TO eighteen thousand bricks be made
during ten hours
Brick-makers in various parts Of the country,
Including Mr.. Samuel Byington, fthis city, con-
cur in the statement that lit is the best machine
now in use in this country for making bricks Of
tempered clay" This gentleman, last March, re.
commended the machine TO the managers of the
Metropolitan Mechanics Institute as worthy OF
the highest award that could be given TO any ma
chine at the exhibition.
