Hon. Mr.. Cessna, Chairman of the
Pennsylvania Union State Committee,
in company with about twenty members
of it, called upon Hon. Schuyler Colfax
to night, and presented the resolutions
which had been unanimously adopted by
the committee, approving the sentiments
enunciated in his speech delivered in
Washington three weeks ago.
Mr.. Cessna, in the course of his re-
marks, said they had watched the course
of Mr.. Colfax in Congress with great
deal of interest and confidence, and ex-
pressed qualification that it was indorsed
| by his fellow m em bers, and that he was
destined again to fill the Speakers 8
chair, the duties of which he had dis
charged with so much efficiency and
popularity.
Mr.. Colfax, in reply, said the regard
and confidence of his own constituents
were always highly priced and appre
ciated by him; but when the represent
atives of the Union party of a great
State like that of Pennsylvania rendered
such hearty manifestations of approval,
there was additional cause Of gratitude
and thankfulness In 1864, at the time
the soil of the Republic was shaken by
the tread of contending armies, and the
defenders of the Union cause encoun-
tered all the prejudices growing out of
taxation, accommodating debt, and the
draft filled the hearts of every person;
when the great State of Pennsylvania
gave her electoral votes for the distin-
guished patriots, Lincoln and johnson,
and again this morning, when Pennsyl-
vania, with the adjoining States Of New
York and New Jersey, re-sfirmed so
decisively their attachment TO the great
cause, it gave renewed hope to all those
who had been faithful to the Union in
its peril.
Mr.. Colfax said in conclusion that the
soldiers of the Republic had done their
share in the great work of putting down
the rebellion, and the spirit which ami
mated it now remained for the Senators
and Representatives of the people with
craftsmanship and f Ieiity to the Union
and to the principles of liberty and hu-
manity TO complete the work now in
trusted to their hands. He rejoiced
that every indication gave promise that
they would shoulder to shoulder unite
inAexibly in the path of du ty. 4

NEW YoRK, Dec. 4.-The latest ad.
vices from Honduras by way of San Sal.
vador contains notable political changes,
The insurrection in the Department Of
Olancho has terminated. The Congress
of the Republic of Honduras has decided
to abolish the Senate chamber The
reason given is that in country essen
tial democratic like Honduras, an Upper
House, or Senate, is not necessary AL
the members of Congress will henceforth
be of equal political rank, and will be
simply called Representatives of the
Congress of Honduras. The question o.
capital punishment is attracting mucf
attention in Honduras.

money, the robbers ct once commenced
breaking in the door Mr.. Sehreiber be-
ing quite an old man and living entirely
alone, was greatly alarmed, and escaped
throug gh back window, With no clothing
on except his shirt, and in this condition
sought refuge in the woods near by.
The villains having effected an en-
trance into the house, at once commenc'
ed an indiscriminate robbery of its con

BALrIMoRE, Sept. 19-The annual
meeting Of the Grand Lodge |. o. o. F.
of the United States took place this
morning in the Hall in North Gay
street, Grand Sire Isaac NJ. Veiteh,
presiding. Representatives from nearly
all the States in the Union, and several
Of the British provinces are in atten-
dance. This is ths FIRST occasion with
in the past FIVE years where brethren
from all parts Of the country have
mingled together. Mutual congratule,
tions were ihterc1Anged and much
friendly feeling evinced.
The Grand Sire presented his annual
report, while be with no ordinary emo
tions Of pleasure congratulated bis fell
Representative at being assembled
in another annual convocation of the
Supreme Grand Lodge under such
| friendly, interesting and aucpicious cir
cums.anees. and he expressed his high
est satisfaction that be was permitted TO
meet again nearly al the Representa-
tives Of the jurisdiction who had been
preclnded from fellowship and commu-
nion with other Representatives for the
last four years. The retrospect Of the
year furnishes abundant cause Of con-
graduation that the Order has survived
the fearful ordeal through which it has
passed, and which threatened TO imperil
its community. He referred to his efforts
which were successful, in re-opening
Grand Lodges in the various Southern
States.
The financial condition Of the jurisdic-
tions rendered It impossible to meet the
representation tax imposed by the laws
Of the grand lodge, and he, IN his cores
pondence, indicated this would be nc
impediment 70 the condition of their
Representatives. The grand lodge would
generously remit the tax as was done in
/ the election Of Tennessee in 1853. Ref
erence also was made TO his acts in con-
nection with the Wildsy monument,
the formal repre- senlalion Of which viii
be made at this session. Other matters
Of interest 10 the order are alluded Il
by the Grand Sire, who paid a tribute
to the memory Of P. G.. Sire, r. b
