Philadelphia Bnp,ist Association.

At the session of the Philadelphia Baptist
Association yesterday the following resolutions,
offered by Rev DR.. j. Wheaton Smith, were de-
bated and unanimously adopted
ReSOlCed, That in reaf1irming the action of last
year we declare more fully
First. That in common with Baptists generally
we hold the burial of believer with Christ in
baptism naturally and scripturaly precedes his
participation at the table of the Lord.
Second. That believing, with our Christian
brethren of whatever name, that baptism natu-
rally and scripturally precedes communion, we
protest against the manifest unfairness of handy
ing such terms as clOse-communiOn, exclusive
ness, etc, in application to people whose only
coseness, if closeness it be, is the closeness of
Scripture baptism.
Third. That while we distinguish between the
utter neglect of baptism and a mistake as to
what constitutes baptism, giving our brethren o
other denominations the benefit of the distinc
tion, we cannot endorse what we believe to be
their error, by inviting them to communion in
our churches, and we protest against their de-
mand for such endorsement as indecorous, un-
generous, and an assault upon Christian unity.
Fourth. That while we hold against all corners
and in our Lords behalf that mode in which
alone the spirit of a Christian baptism is SYM
bolized-we are still more firmly set when an
ordinance of Gods own fashioning, marred and
mutilated in the house of His friends is admins
tered to unregenerate subjects.
Fifth. That while we marvel Mt the temerity
of those who, in the sprinkling of children, can
repeat Seeing now dearly beloved brethren,
that this child is regenerate and grated into the
body of Christ's Church." we wonder hardly less
at the practice of others who, disclaiming this
form of words, still keep their substance, COM
mingliDg even an infants conservation with be-
levers baptism, and forcing us to say with the
good old patriarch ''The voice is the voice OF
Jacob, but the hand is the hand of Esau."
In the evening session the claims of the Penn
sylyania General Baptist Association were pre-
Epnto0.

learned lesson that they will profit by. We
have examined the account sent in by Mr..
Glackmeyer and feel perfectly disgusted at
some of the charges. Imagine an item Of $l2O
for dry goods; $40 for beer; $150 for horse hire;
500 for the use of the carriage in which the
Prince rode, with $3.50 additional in another
item; and this, after representations were made
TO the hoard that the Princes carriage and
horses would be furnished free; then there is
likewise claim of some $500 for omissions, use
of house, etc, with other outrageous charges of
a like nature "too numerous to mention" Is 1t
any wonder that the board kicked2 The bill as
1t stands is worthy being preserved for future
reference, or as n memento of the visit of Prince
Arthur TO London. As proof of the exorbitaut
charges we may state that Mr.. Glackmeyer con-
sented to accept $1,000 in settlement, but ulti-
mately refused the offer for some reason Should
the bill be taken before a court of law, some
astounding revelations may be looked for. The
residence in question was selected for the Prince
at the owners own request, and on the under
standing that honor would compel him to make
n mere nominal charge for its use, the fact OF
the Prince occupying it being, in his estimation,
almost sufficient to repay him for any temporary
inconvenience he might be placed at, aud that
he would leave it altogether with the board to
name what they considered proper remunera-
tiOn. How different then and now

even worse. The fact that five dollars an hour
was charged by cab-drivers here during the exhi-
bition is small matter compared with the ac-
count furnished for boarding and lodging the
Prince and suite during their brief STAY The
bill, as rendered to the Board of Agriculture, i'm
detail, presents one of the most glarng cases of
eXtortion on record. Only imagine total snm
of two thousand five hundred dollars being
charged the association for entertaining the
royal guest for the term of about two days
and half. The whole thing is outrageous,
and we cannot wonder at the action of
the board, in reducing it to figure less
than half the amount-One thousand dollars
which was considered more than amply suni-
cient to liquidate all expenses. In fact, many
aver that five hundred dollars would have done
the thing handsomely This, we think, is nearer
the mark, Judging from the charges made by
Mr. Derby, of the Tecumseh, for accommoda-
ting the Goyenor-General and lady, Sir John
A. Mcdonald, and the Governors attaches,

young girl who says she is seventeen years of
age, brings suit against a woman and her hus-
band, who keep house of bad fame in Cincin-
natl, seeking to recover from them damages In
the sum of $1,000 for forcibly compelling her to
debauch herself and become public woman in
their house. She alleges that sne was virtuous
girl and that she was Ignorant of the character
OF the house when she was employed in il as a
domestic servant. Al that time the landlady
represented herself as keeping boarding house,
and as being desirous of obtaining the services
OF the plaintiff as a domestic. She states that

contrary to her will and by actual force, to sub
NIT herself to the dlssolute men who visited that
establishment. The girls father also brings suit
of $4,000 against the parties for loss of SER

Buying up Women.
Hong-Kong paper of late date has the fol-
lowing about the women traffic in China:-
We hear from Shanghai, and that moreover
from source which we cannot but consideras
trustworthy, that agents of the vile crew who
traffic in women for the California brothel mar
ket have found their way to that port and are
buying up the surplus stock of girls for their
purpose. Now, it is folly to pretend that the
local papers have no knowledge of what is
going on, for we have good reason to know that
the matter is one of public comment. Yet not
line appears in any of the Shanghai journals
exposing the miscreants or saying single word
in opposition to a practice which is injurious
alike to Chinese opinion of California and
foreign prestige in China.
The Proud Turk.
The Sultan has made an innovation upon n
long-establlshed custom in Eastern etiquette
Hitherto every Mussulman who wished to pre-
sent n petition to the Padisha was Obliged to
wait until n Friday, and to choose a moment
when the latter rode on his weekly visit to the
mosque. This often gave rise to great confusion,
to hustlings, and to vigorous plying of bamboo
canes on the part of Turkish policemen. Hence
forth petitions may be deposited every day of
the week, and at any hour, in n large letter-box
which has recently been placed at the principal
entrance of the imperial palace. An aide-de-
camp of the Sultan and feftch of police are
entrusted with the care of this box, and with the
duty of remitting its contents to headquarters.
On the day after they have deposited their petit
tons the supplicants are to call at the palace
and receive verbal reply.

communication with the Emperor of the French

COIiery Fires in England.
Three colieries are on fire in England. In
one Cat kidsgroye, Statfordshire) the cause of
the fire is said to have been large 'bloWer' of
gas. The seam of coal worked ordinarily throws
OIL great quantity of gas and a large blower
having been added to it, flame was created,
which spread to the coal and set il on fire. The
manager and the men used every endeavor to
put out the fire, but without avail. At length
the horses and men were drawn out of the pit
for safety, and the water-engine was stopped, so
that water might accumulate to exclude the air.
Several explosions have occurred in the pit since
the fire broke out.

How the Admiral was Received at sacramento.
The Sacramento (Cal.) Union of July "a
savs--
vast crowd of people assembled at the Cen
tral Pacific depot yesterday afternoon, to wit
ness the arrival in the city of Admiral Farragut,
the hero of New Orleans and Mobile, who, il had
been ascertained, was in the train due at 20 p.
VI. As the locomotive leading the train ap-
peared in sight at that hour, the Union Boy,
under command of Captain Siddons, spoke
loudly in n salute of twenty-one guns. On the
arrival of the train the Admiral who was aC-
cOmpanied by his wife and q lady friend was
received by Mayor Swift and other Sacra-
mentans. As he emerged from the car the
crowd gave him three hearty cheers, and then
three more 'tOr the trigate Hartford The dis
tinguished traveller returned his thanks i'm brief
remarks expressing his appreciation of the
honor conferred. He reminded his hearers that
several years ago he had been resident of Cali
tornia, and congratulated them upon the many
improvements which had taken place in the
city and State during the years which he had
been absent. So far, Sacramento was the only
place he had seen while onhis presenttrip which
reminded him of California as he remembered il.
lie hoped to be able in a few DAYS to return to
the city and spend a few days with his friend,
here, but Mt present he could but briefly thank
them for their cordial welcome. At the conclu-
sion Of his remarks he was assisted to a car
riage and conveyed to the Arcade Restaurant
where in due season the Admirals party and
fifteen or twenty citizens sat down to a fine col
lation. AT the proper time Mayor Swift offered
a welcoming toast, to which the Admiral re-
sponded, expressing thanks for courtesies eX-
tended, and his determination in few days to
come up and view the town from one end to the
other. General Rcdington was then called upon
and made few happy remarks. About three
o'clock the party repaired to the landing of the
San francisco steamer, where the Yosemite,

for the convenience of the Admiral, lay gaily
decorated with flags and streamers, awaiting
his coming. As the boat swung around, the
hero time and again. Admiral Farragut is in
height somewhat under the average, well built,
remarkably active, bears every appearance of
health, and look to be about fifty or fifty-fve
years OF age, though he is in reality about
seventy. His personal appearance is such that
wherever met he would DC noticed as a remark
ably able man.

MORMON.
The Old Faith and the New Brighnmite TOlcrn-
ttOn,

The Old Faith and the New BrIghnmite TOlcrn-
The Corinne, Utah. Reporter of late date
has the following
few days ago we mentioned the fact that
William Alexander and David Hyrum, the
younger sons of Joseph Smith the Mormon
prophet were on their way to Salt Lake City to
set up the standard of the reOrgauiZed or anti
pOlygamy Church. A singular interest attaches
to the name of David Hyrum. A few months
before Josephs death he stated that ''the
man was not born who was to lead
this people; but of Emma Smith should
be born a son who would succeed in the Presi-
dency after a season of disturbance Joseph
Smith was killed June 21, 1874, and the son,
named from his fathers direction David llyTum,
was born mt the Mansion House, Nauvoo. on the
18th of the succeeding November This prophc
cy is secretly dear to thousands of Mormons
who are weary of the tyranny of Brigham
Young and yet hold to their faith in Joseph
Smith. few days ago the young men reached
Salt Lake City, and soon called upon Brigham
Young, and announced their intention to or
ganize their church at once, asking permission
to defend their faith in the Tabernacle, prOpos
ng to argue with the Brighamites from the
original Mormon books. We have but scant re-
ports of the interview. but it is said to have been
very warm. Brigham was very angry ut their
presumption, and denied them the use of the
Tabernacle, sending word at the same time
to the bishops to shut them out of the
ward mecting-houses. The brothers. at one
point of the conversation, denied that their
father ever practised polygamy, citing their
mothers testimony, to which Brigham retorted
that their mother was n liar and had been
proved thief" with much more of the sort.
Be il remembered that the lady thus spoken of
is the Electa Cy'iG, or "Elect Lady of God, in
Mormon theology, who was the glory of their
early history. Like Pope Pagan, of the "Pil-
grim's Progress, Brigham doubtless gnaws his
nails in vain rage that he cannot, as in former
times, let loose the vengeance of his Nauvoo
Legion upon these sectarians, and crush the re-
belllon in blood If his power were now equal
to his feelings, we should have repeated the
story of the Morrisites. when high civil func-
tionary of Utah led the Legion in broad day to
slaughter men and women who had surrendered
themselves prisoners. But nothing more than
petty prosecutions will be attempted at this late
day.
