CoRREcTIoN.-Ihed display line in the
advertisement of the Santiam Academy
which read, " Commencement Course !"
should have been set up, Commercial
Course" The attention Of our readers
is again drawn to the fact that, as a
teacher will devote his entire time to this
department of the Academy, as good a
commercial education can be obtained at
the Santiam Academy as at the Portland
institution, or anywhere else. And it is
all nonsense and the hight of folly to
send children, at more than thribble the
expense, to distance, among entire
strangers, to obtain that which can be OBJ
tanned at home, at reasonable price, and
where the morals and the health of the
students can be looked after by the par
ents. Patronise your home colleges and
thus build institutions that will compare
favorably with other similar schools in
any country. Home industries FIRST,
should be the motto.

DISSATISFACTION.

Quite a stiff little breezo seems to be blow
ing up among the Republicans of this Con-
gressional district in regard to certain appoint
ments of the present administration. This
end of the district does not seem to have re-
ceived that attention from the powers at Wash
ington, to which it is entitled by its faithful
adherence to loyalty.
The appointment of Mr.. Wagner as assessor
for this district, in place of Drabell, deceased,
is especially irritating to some parties who
would like to have inherited the slippers of
the dead man. The Berkeley Union, under
its present management, the ablest Repub-
hcan paper in the State outside of Wheeling,
has spoken out very plainly on different &C.
casions, and in its last issue, hits the nail in
sure place, if the editor will only follow up
his former attacks, and disclose facts which
he intimates are in his possession. He says -
"And again, this thing of family connec-
ton. net work of intermarriage, holding all
places of profit, honor and trust, is unworthy
the sense of right that should mark men
holding high places in our government; but
on this subject we forbear for the present,
having full history of some recent events
which may or may not as duty requires be the
subj cts of future articles"
So the family connection" bu siness is be-
ginning to bear its fruits. Grant inaugurated
it at Washington, Wiley and McGrew prac-
tice it in the Western end of the district,
and the ChaPline family are carrying it out
here. Now if we can only get the Uaion to
come out fair and openly against this abomi-
nabls nepotism we shall have lively boiling
OF the cauldron in this district, and we will
make all these first families of radicalism fume

PTesbyterians.

The General Assemblies of the Old and
New School Presbyterians in the North as

to forward to the stated Clerk of the General
Assembly with which they are connected
statement of their votes:
"The re union shall be effected on the doc
trinal and ecclesiastical basis of our common
standards the Scriptures of the Old and
New Testaments shall be acknowledged to be
the inspired word of God, and the only infal-
libe rule of faith and practice; the Comics
sion of Faith shall continue to be sincerely
received and adopted as containing the sys-
tenn of doctrine taught in the Holy Scrip
lures, and the Government and Discipline of
the Presbyterian Church in the United States
shall be improved as containing the principles
and rules of our polity." ....
In the Assembly of the Old School, the
vote stood ayes 257, noes Sin the New
School Assembly, the vote was unanimous.
The General Assemblies of these chuches
will hold their next sessions at Pttsburg, Pa,
commencing on the second Wednesday Of
November next.
1t the two General Assemblies shall then
ind and declare that the above-named basis of
reunion has been approved by two,thirds of
the presbyteries connected with each branch
OF the Chuch, then the same shall be of bind
ing force, and the two assemblies shall take
action accordingly.
The said General Assemblies shall then
and there make provision for the meeting of
the General Assembly of the united Church
on the third Third Thursday of May, 1870.
The moderators of the two present Assemblies
shall Jointly preside at the said Assembly of
1870 until another moderator is chosen.
Each presbytery of the separate Churches
shall be entitled to the same representation
in the Assembly of the united Church in
1870 as it is entitled to in the Assembly with
which it is now connected

Ritualism.:

At the recent annual, Council of the Epis-
copal Church, Diocese of Virginia, held at
Fredericksburgsthe committee to whom was
referred SO much of Bishop JOINS report as
related to Ritualism, made their report The
document is long one, aud of 'great ability
fully sustaining the positions of the Bishop
against Ritualistic innovation. and closes with
the following resolutions
First-That in view of the doctrinal de-
CLEMSON from the standards OF the Church, as
I distinctively Protestant, which has occurred
elsewhere within the past thirty years, it is
the duty of the clergy of this Diocese to guard
against being lulled into security by the as
sumption that our people are sufficiently well
established in the truth, and are free from
danger; and to give more earnest heed to the
incubation in the pulpit, the Sunday Schools,
and Bible classes, of the doctrines of those
standards of our Protestant Church.
Second-That in view of these novelties
which disturb" the peace of the Church and
wound the censcences of SO manylof' both
clergy and laity, and of the difficulty ofarrest-
ing innovations originating from small begin
nings in ornaments, decorations, or otherwise,
and of returning to the simplicity of1worship
after the same has been departed from, it be
earnestly recommended to the clergy, church
wardcns, and vestries, strenuously to resist the
introduction of any changes in the forms and
modes of conducting public worship and adj
ministering the Saeraments, as the same we're
used in the Church of England and our own
before the rise of tractariansm and ritualism.
Third-That the Diocese of Virginia, repre-
scented by thiseCouucl as constituent part of
the Protestant Episcopal Churchin the United
States, is animated by heartfelt love for the
Reformed Protestant Church of our fathers,
by sincere desire fer its purity and integrity,
and by just sense of the injury which it
suffers, in view of the doctrines preached, and
changes introduced, in those churches COM
monty called rituahshc ). of the systematic
omission or rejection of its constitutional name
by some whose aim seems to be to unpro-
| testantize the Church. and of the disastrous
effects of these and other novel practices and
teachings upon the peace and progress of the
Church, itdoes here record its solemn protest
against the further federation Of such practices
and teachings as being unlawful, perilous te
the unity of the Church, and hostile to the
Christian interest, and this Council reverently
invokes tho power OF the Holy Ghost to con-
tinue with and preserve the Church as one
Catholic and Apostolic Church.

A Man Kills Himself that His Children
may Derive the Benefit of Insurance


A suicide under rather peculiar circum-
stances, and one of the incentives to which
was obviously desire to bestow on relatives
large sum of money to be Obtained on life
| insurance, committed in this city either
on Monday night or yesterday. The partic-
ulars are US follows: Several weeks since a
middle aged man named +. Stephenson, with
two little children, arrived in this city evident
| ly from Canada, and took lodgings at board
ing house kept by lady named Mrs Eliza
| CLARK, located at No. 1877 Adams street. He
stated that he was an engineer, and in day
or two made trip on one of our lake steam
ers During his absence the children were
we'll provided with money by him and such
comforts as they could reasonably desire. On
Saturday night he returned, and stated that
he had concluded to send his children back to
Canada. On Monday evening he took the
little ones and placed them on board of a Can
ada propeller. He returned to the house
about 8 o'clock, and Immediately sought his
room.
When he did not make his appearance at
breakfast a servant was sent to call him. but
she found the door closed, and nothing more
was done about the matter until noon, when
carrier brought letter to him. The propri-
etress of the place and carrier both visited
his room, and finding it locked, with the key
on the inside, the door was forced open. On
entering the room CHASTITY sight met their
gaze On the bed, undressed to his undercloth-
ing lay the body of Stephenson, with his
throat cut from ear to ear with razor. The
suicide had been very particular as to details
in committing the act, and placed his panta-
looms under his pillow, carefully adjusted his
other clothing on chair, and otherwise con-
formed with the strictest rule of safety and
propriety. Before he undertook the bloody
deed he had carefully tucked the bedclothes
about his person The following letter, adj
dressed to brother of the landlady, was
found on the dressing stand by the bedside.
To judge from its contents, the almighty
dollar" was one of the Incentives to the act
