BOARD OF DELEGATES OF AMERICAN ISRAEL.
rrEs.-The Ninth Annual General Convention
of the Board of Delegates OF American Israel
ties assembled on Sunday IN New York.
O'Clock by Abraham Hart, of Philadelphia,
president in the clair. The full board repre-
sents ffty.four congregations, from New York,
Pennsylyalia, Maryland, Virginia, the District
of Columbia, Oregon, California, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, South Carolina, Louisiana,
Massachusetts and other new England States.
Upwards of forty delegates were present. rep
resenting about twenty-five congregations.
Mir. s. d. Lewyt, of Baltimore, was chosen q
member of the executive committee for the en-
suing year. ...-
tee was then read. The report was very elab-
orate, and in its opening, while stating that
the operations of the committee had been cir
cumscribed by the fact that little had trans,
pired demanding their Intervention, regretted
that the public Gberality had not been suff-
cient to Justify them in undertaking indepen-
The following resolution, deferred from the
convention of 1867 until the present year, was
taken up:
empowered to address the congregations OF the
United States during the year to ascertain
whether they will or will not favor the assemb-
ling of convention of onr ministers and
OTHERS to consider the condition uf American
Judaism, and on majority OF the congrega-
tions acceding to such plan, such convention
to be held. 80,
Rev. Mr. Isaacs said that it was one Of the
objects OF this resolution to secure general
observance Of the Hebrew Sabbath. From its
present lax observance he thought Judaism
WAS bound to stgo by the board" and it was q
disgrace and q shame to see the violation by
Jews Of their Sabbath in New York. The Sab
bath was everything in preserving unity among
the brethren, and it was time that something
was done to insure it's proper observance. He
offered as an amendment o. resolution proVid-
ing that q convention be called OF all the MIN
isters, with representatives frcm the laity, to
ascertain what measures could be devised to
secure better observance OF the Sabbath day.
He also spoke briefly in favor OF some revision
OF the existing practices in reference to mar
riage and divorce.
Several delegates opposed the taking OF any
action in these matters as not belonging to the
jurisdiction of the board. If any action was to
be taken let it be done through the ministers
from their pulpits. The amendment was fin
ally withdrawn, and the original resolution was
laid on the table.
Resolutions we're adopted &voring the fur
therance Of Jewish education and theology,
directing the board to take action with q view
of ,ameliorating the condition of Israelites in
the Danubian Principalities and the Holy Land,
and recommending measures for the organiza-
ton of the Hebrew Publication Society, togeth-
er with other interesting matters; also looking
to the opening Of intercourse with Abyssinia,
in reference to the tribe OF Falashas.

The REVOLUTION IN JAPAN-ARRIvAL OF THE
RAE SToNEwALL.-Late advices from Japan by
the steamer New York, which has arrived at
Ban Francisco with Yokohama dates to April
2Sth, give additional particulars of the civil
strife now going on in that country between
rival factions OF the government. Kenzaboro,
the officer in command Of Prince Bezin's troops,
who ordered the firing on the foreigners at
Hiogo, was executed by order Of the Mikado in
the presence of one foreigner from each lega-
ton, together with an equal number Of Japan
ese officials. The scene was solemn and i'm
pressive. The condemned, being Of high rank,
vas permitted 10 commit hari kari. Before his
death he acknowledged the offsnce, and admit
ted that his trial was fair and his sentence just,
and he advised the Japanese hereafter to treat
foreigners with consideration. The foreign
representatives requested the government not
to confscate his estate, according to the
Japanese law, but permit it to descend to his
family. The request was granted.
All the foreign ministers were at Yokohama
April 28th, and large number OF war vessels OF
all nations. The ram Stonewall arrived safely,
twenty-nine days from Honolulu Both branch
es OF the. Japanese Government wanted her.
Each, however, preferred the American Minis

for the present, which the American Minister
has done, awaiting instructions from Wash

TEE SEASON AND THE Caors.-rhe chera

TIE SEASON AND THE CRoPs.-The Cheraw
Advertiser says:
The whole season, from the beginning Of
and most backward within the knowledge OF
the most venerable. There has fallen more
rain, too, than usual, and more than was good
for the interest Of the planters. Crops, OF
course, must of necessity be unusually back
ward.
The wheat and oat crop, and especially the
former, is looking and doing we'll, and will, II
no disaster befalls 1t, be the largest ever grown
in this section. The corn, though small, is
looking fajS, and much larger crop is growing
than has been planted since the war. OF cot
ton, not much can be SAID. From ell we can
learn, there is not more than between one-half
and one-third the quantity planted that was
planted last year.
The Newberry Herald says:
We do not hear Of many complaints as to the
present wheat crop, and judge that it will be
GOOD. No more was sowa last fall in this dis
frict than the fall previous, but from all &C
counts greater care was bestowed In the SOW
inc. Some rust is noticed, but as yet it is coz
fined TO the blade, and it is hoped that the ad-
vanced condition of. the crop will soon place 1t
ont Of danger.
OF the wheat prospect iE Spartanburg the
Spartan says:
As far as we have heard from our farmer
friends, the prospect for good wheat crop, 80
far, is very good, larger than usual quantity
having been sown. We are sorry to hear, how
ever, that in this vicinity the rust has made its
appearance. and promises to defeat the hopes
which were founded on the very luxuriant
growth Of that valuable cereal.

POLITICAL SUMMARY
THE CHASE MOVEMENT.

We find the following special dispatch from
Washington in the Chicago Republican Of Sat-
urday. What gives it especial significance is
the fact that it was telegraphed on Friday
night, and published before the meeting OF the
court on Saturday:
THE PLOT TO DEFEAT THE niPEAoHMENT-sTART-
LING DEVELOPMENTS.
There have been startling developments here
to-day. which show concluslvely that there
has been a regular conspiracy on the part OF
Chief Justice Chase and renegade Repubhcan
senators to defeat the impeachment and elevate
the former to the presidency, at the cost OF
breaking up the Republican party.
Night before last Chief Justice Chase myl-
ted Hon. q. S. Bundy, member Of the Thirty
ninth Congress from Ohio, to call upon him,
and statedhe had some important matters to
talk about. Mr.. Bundy having long shared the
confidence of the Chief Justice, and being
heretofore his firm supporter and personal
friend, accepted th7 invitation.
During the interview MIR. Chase told Mr.
Bundy that it was his intention, to become q
candidate for the Presidency on the Democra-
tic ticket, and, not succ ssding in this, he
should enter the arena as an independent can
didate against General Grant. OF his own
success he said there could be no doubt. The
impeac chment would fail, and thus failing,
would divide the Republican party, and That
statesmen like Trumbull, Fessenden. Hender-
son, Grimes and Fowler would be recognized
as head of one division Of the Republican par,
ty; and these five men, he. said, had pledged
themselves, ten days ago, that they would
stand by and support him in this move
ment, The Chief Justice gave Mr., B9ndy MS
views in full on this movement. speaking very
confidently as to its SUCCESS, and predicting
the downfall Of Radicallsm as represented oy
the advocates Of impeachment.
The treason on the part OF the Chief Justice
so astonished Mr.. Bundy that he at once com
municated what had been said to leading Rad.
icals here. The whole matter has been Kept
.wry quiet, and the conspiracy was 80 appar-
ent that leading senators to-day urged upon
the members Of the board Of managers to take
immediate steps in the matter. The managers,
however, said that they had no power to 90 80.
They had been COMMISSIONED with duty 70
perform, and that duty had been done, and
their case was in the hands Of the Senate. II
the latter failed to perform theirs, the people
must give . verdict as to the purity OF their
action. Thus far, but few have been informed
as to this extraordinary language OF the Chief
Justice, but it having been communicated to
the managers, your correspondent is now at
liberty 10 make 1t publlc. -
