from the Senate with two or three
amendments, he proposed, by way OF
aEridging the consideration of the mat

them and ask for committee of con-
ference. He had no doubt that such
committee would come TO an agreement.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, objected.
Mr.. Schenck moved to suspend the
rules for that purpose.
Mr.. Spalding, who had the floor on
the miscellaneous appropriation BILL
declined to yield it for that purpose.
Mr.. Schenck-Very well. l want 1T to

MARRIAGE;

Reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubil
happiness Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the
prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind
becomes Swallowed with despair and filed with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another becomes blighted with our own.

HOUSE.

Bills were introduced and referred
granting lands to the Tennessee and
Coosa Railroad Company.
Several bills to relieve persons from
political disabilities were introduced.
Mr.. Cook reported bill to erect
bridges across the Ohio. Passed.
Mr.. Judd introduced a joint resolu-
tion requiring the Pacific railroads and
their branches to give bonds guarantee
Jag the completion of the roads before
receiving aid. Passed.
Mr.. Logan moved to inquire into the
matter of returning to General Lee the
Washington relics, and to direct the
Secretary of the Interior not to deliver
them until report is made.
The motion was adopted by vote of
l19 to So.
On motion of Mr.. Schenck, the rules
prohibiting the passage of bills from
House to House, and the presentation
of bills TO the President within three
days of adjournment, were suspended.
1t was ordered that the House here
after meet at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
The House then went into committee
of the Whole, Mr.. Dawes in the chair,
on the miscellaneous appropriation bill.
Mr.. Spaulding remarked that the bill
was highly important and should he
passed to-day. 1t involves appropria-
tions of about S5,000,O00, mainly en-
braeed in three items printing of
bonds, treasury notes and bank bills,
the maintenance of revenue cutters,
&C., and the light -house establishment.
He hoped the bill would have attention
and that but few amendments would be
offered. The committee, with an eye to
economy, had exercised some liberality
towards the administration that was to
carry on the Government. He thought
it had not reported too much. and he
hoped it had not reported too little, in
the pending bill.

Prcsbytcry heard their complaints.
They sympathized with them. And
acting hastily, before summoning the
congregation to appcarby their COM
missioncrs for consultation, Prcsby-
terry assumes all authority in the
matter and proceeded to release him
forthwith from his Shiloh concrcca-
ton against his consent and that of
the majority members thereof. This
Tirzah congregation, in their annual
Report to Presbytcry at their spring
meeting at Prosperity, North Caro-
lima, demonstrated against their act
of releasing their pastor from one of
his pastoral charges as dcviating from
thc,frn,al course pursuscd by other
Pre- ;s.Sics, which received their
vehement disapprobation. The con-
grcgation of Shiloh having been de-
clarcd vaccnt was divided into two
parties. From which commissioners
were appointed to represent them in
Prcsbytcry at its recent meeting at
Necly's Creek, York, ). c. Prcsby-
terry, in consistency with previous
acts, irrespective of rights or parties,
received the minority man, who took
his scat in that judiciary aS the rep
rcscntativc Of the congregation.
The majority party through their
commissioners asked for the one
fourth Of the time of their former
pastor. But in order to CRAFTY the
wishes of the minority party the COM
mittcc on supplies recommended
Prcsbycty to appoint members from
among themselves to occupy the pull
pit at shiloh. The released pastor
arose, and while pleading for the
rights and claims of his injured pco-
pie, remarked, that such abuse of
power he called partial and tyranical.
One member made clustering TRADE
a bad opinion of his friends. And
the Preshytery itself voted ccnSurc
upon him. And, whereas the pastor
and people of Shiloh congregation
has been deprived of their rights and
liberties by the First PrcSbytcry
without 4 hearing Of the matter be-
fore them by judicial investigation,
therefore, in humble submission to
the ii, ,r<.rtial judSmcht Oft the Asso-
ciatc Reformed church, we ask,
