The Independent, referring TO the case Of
Rev. Mr. Tyn., says Bishop Potter, by the I'M
necessary harshness of tone adopted in his adj
monition, and by the apparently studied insult
which was conveyed in the circumstances
made to surround this public rebuke, has
thrown firebrand into the Episcopal church.
"fhe Low Churchmen recognize the attempt
made to crush them, and accept the issue
They are looking definitely TO two points. Or
these one is the very possible disruption OF the
Church. As one of their speakers lately said,
'Wesleyanism was driven off from the Church
and is now stronger than its mother They
are in no hurry, They will wait to try their
strength in the General Convention, next DC
tober; but, if ritualism must rule, they are
preparing TO leave. Another point is, the de-
sire TO carry the war into the enemy's camp.
The Papistical faith and disorder OF the high
ritualists is at least as irregular IN form as
their own and far more heretcal in doctrine"
Father Hecker claims that the Roman
Catholic Church numbers one-third of the
American population; and that, if the mem
bership of this church increases for the next
thirty years as it has for the thirty past, in
1900 Rome will have the majority, and will be
bound to take the country and rule it.
The new Roman Catholic Cathedral in
New York was dedicated this week, Archbish-
op McCloskey officiating, with numerous assis-
tants.
The case of Rev. j. p. Hubbard Rector Of
the Episcopal Church of Westerly, R. l., will
soon come up for trial. His, offence is that he
has not only exchanged with a Baptist pastor,
but has preached-a Ia Tyng-in the parish ct
another, against protest. A singular fact in
connection with his case is that Mr. Malcolm
Of Newport, the Baptist clergyman with
whom he exchanged, is also under the ban of
his church. He is open communion and has
been for ten years. The first Baptist Church
in Newport has withdrawn fellowship from
Mr.. Malcom's church, and it is now threaten
ell to try the case at the next meeting of the
Warren Association.
The Rev. A. Il. Estey has closed his labors

1t is only candid for me to sayto you that

WASHINGTON, March 18, 1863
Years have passed away since 1 was at the
nations capital. No matter how many; the
number can be guessed, nearly enough, with
out being stated. The intervening events and
changes mark the years that have gone, like
the rings in the growth of tree
The city has changed, externally. The
broad thoroughfare named for the keystone
State, with the Capitol at one end and the
Presidents house at the other-the two foci
around which everything turns, and to which
everything is related-is the same. But the
many new avenues, and streets, the new pri-
vate and public buildings, and more than all,
the rev men in old places, and new ideas up
roofing the old, and revolutioniZing social as
well as political ife,-all these attest the great
ness of the change.
The Capitol itself is changed The old build
ing Is indeed here, with its broad area and
steps in front, where the Presidents are in
uaugrated; with its rotunda still thronged with
visitors, gazing ut the same historic paintings
and sculpture. But the dome above is new,
lifting its massive form into the heavens.
crowned with the colossal statue OF Freedom;
and the new wings, north and south, so over
shadow the old and eclipse them with the
wonders of molern art, while EMBEDDING them
as subordinate parts that the whole seems but
the work of yesterday.
Congress has changed, both in men and in
principles. Webster, Clay, Calhoun and
Douglas, are here neither il person, nor in
power Questions OF currency and revenue
no longer rank first in importance; truth. ius
tice, and freedom are no longer trampled un-
der foot.
The condition of labor has been changed.
Men are no longer bought and sold like beasts
of burden; no longer driven to daily toll with
no compensation but the lash; no longer chain
ed in coffie gangs, and forced to leave kindred
and friends, and wear out the remnant of life
on the cotton-felds of the South. Instead cf
this, not only here, but throughout the land,
they are free, having the privileges of educa-
ton for their children, and the freeman's bal
lot for themselves.
And, as a result of all this, social life has al
so changed. The domineering, bullying, vo-
eiferous Southron no longer reigns in Con-
gress nor boasts of his superiority in the pur-
heus of the hotels, nor insults Northern men
~ fashionable circles. The spirit of caste still
n'es among the exclusives, and is baptized in
nios' u the churches which constitute, most
truiy, the last ditch" of the rebellion. But
Inc ola s'aveholding aristocracy, upheld still
Dy tne southern church and ministry, will in
eyitably perish by its own hand eyc,,,d;no

and permanent, until it is cast off as a toni
excresence. A revolution that will he tho

summation. The present generation cannot
conceive its greatness nor its glory.

TIE TAX ELL which passed the House with
only two dissenting votes, passed the Senate
with only three votes in opposition. While
pending before the Senate various amend
ments were offered, generally proposing to re-
tain the internal tax on certain manufactured
articles relieved by the House bill. The one
reducing the tax on petroleum one half was
retained Another was added imposing a tax
on all sales of manufactured goods above
$4,000 of 81 on every additional $1500. The
bill now goes back to the House for its concur
renee in the Senate amendments. The prompt
ness and harmony with which Congress has
has acted on this important matter are highly
commendable. There is danger of deficien-
cy in case the bin passes, il is true, but that
undesirable result it is hoped to avoid by col
Letting the whiskey tax Aud whether the re-
LIEF of manufactures from taxation results
this year in deficiency or not the increased
prosperity of the country will, in the long run,
undoubtedly rebound to the interest of the
revenues of the treasury. The bill as ii now
stands is said to be particularly satisfactory to
Eastern Congressman. To the West it is not
SO entirely agreeable, the people of that sec
tion of the country desiring modification OF
the tariff to correspond with the reduction OF
internal taxation. The shipbuilsers of this
State will regret that the amendment allow
ing drawback on articles used in their bust
ness did not pass. 1t was defeated by the
jealousy of Western members. 1t is hoped
however, that this important interest will be
properly treated at later period in the
session.

An OPERA HOUSE IN CONTEMPLATION
That we are in need of an Opera House is a
fact evident to and acknowledged by all, and
the erection OF one in our city is an event look
ed for yard to with much interest by many.
All that have given the subject any thought
see at once that it would be good investment,
and we were glad, yesterday, to see evidence
in the way of plan that the general interest
manifested had drawn the attention of parties
of the tight stamp to this matter. The plan
was made by Mr.. Stead for the vacant lot on
Temple street, owned by the Anderson heirs.
This is one of the most desirable locations in
the city for building of this kind, being
part of the original Goldman lot, which extend
ed from this point to Fore liver, and this part,
now vacant, is where the Goldman mansion
stood.
The plan represents building 100 feet in
length, IS feet wide, and three and half stories
high. The front will be pleasing and orna-
mental, having dome at each extremity, and
is to be built of brick and mastc. The inte-
ror, or at least that part intended for the Opera
House, is perfection in its arrangements AL
above the first floor is to be used for this pur-
pose. The first flour is to be divided into
stores, of which there are four, each having a
frontage of twenty feet and the full depth OF
the building. The hall is calculated to seat
about double the number of Deering H"ll.-
There are. two lines of galleries, very easy OF
access, and twenty private boxes. 1t will be
well ventilated in the centre and at the sides.
The stage is 80 feet in length and As feet wide,
and back, in connection with it are carpenters
and painters chops. There are twelve dress
ing rooms 16 5 feet EACH Instead of station
airy seats it is calculated for chairs to fold back
as those of the Boston Theatre. The arch over
the proscenium is to be richly decorated. Great
care has been taken in the plan, to have the
floors well supported, and there would be three
passages for getting out in case of fire, the
principal one of which is twelve feet wide.
This plan seems to represent exactly what
we want for an Opera House, and we are not
alone in the desire to soon see further prepare
tons going on for its early construction.
