patch dated at Philadelphia, Nov. 4,
says:
4 number of Jewish Rabbits from the
principal cities of the Union are in con-
ference on the subject of reform in the
Jewish Church. They have adopted
resolutions abolishing the use of prayers
IN the Hebrew tongue as unIureliigIbl-
to tie masses, disclaiming the doctrin-
Of bodily restriction, or the removal of
the Jewish state by segregation from
sll other nations, declaring that the
Aaronic priesthood aud Mosaic sacriti
cial worship have been merely prepara-
tory steps to Is ael's national priest
hood, and are therefore things of the
past, to be mentioned in prayer only
but in their educational capacity not to
De practiced.
This is one of the many grarifyiog
proofs that the Oldest religionists are
im5aed with the spirit Of progress
which is so great characteristic OF
the sge. Taken as a class, the Jews of
the United States are secoEd to none
if not superior TO all the natiouali,ies
that go TO make Up the people of the
CH!ted States. That they are among
the foremost in the more active enter
prises of our social and business life is
eyeryahere APPARENT and that they, as
a class, are less cbargasle with crime or
that improvidencs which leads TO pau
phrism is equally self evident; and this
movement, looking to an abandonment
Of obsolete forms, illustrates their ten
deney as people, to participate in the
general advancement of the presen. cen

The telegraph tells US that green
backs have gone up to eighty cent?
No wonder Look ct the way the grea
debt is diminishing. Over sixty mil
lions since Grant was iuaugurared
And Boutwell, is still slashing away al
i; and cutting it down. The fight al
the polls last November was what made
it possible for greenbacks TO be worth
eighty cents to- day. The Democratic
party and Ny Policy were held back
from threats aud assaults upon the
Public Credit; the Whisky Ring was
broken; and honest dealing came to b-
iuaugursted. Not only honest dealing,
but capable, business like dealing; and
that is how it happened that tie great
to be met aud turned TO good account
The country and the country's creditors
found out, then, how well able our
Secretary of the Treasury is to cope
with the conspirators who, all along,
have made the currency of the country
to rise and fall at will. That fight
showed where the power lies-uot in
Wall street, not in the Gold Exchange,
tu' where it should be, in the National
Treasury. The debt is going 10 be paid
and the. country is soon to be put upon
q cash basis; and these are the reasons
Why greenbacks are quoted at Eighty
Cents.

Amours Of Member Of Foreign Lega
ton and an African Belle.

Correspondence of the New York Herald
WASHINGTON, October 22d-There is
considerable talk just now In Washing
ton circles about au gfare ddmonr be-
tween a certain Young gentleman con-
nected with one of the foreign legations
here and certain colored young lady,
who is described as extremely beauti-
full and attractive. The young gentle
man, the Story goes, became so com
pletely bewitcbed that he escorted the
lady 10 public places, and was not only
seen promenading with her on the
streets, but even in her company at the
theaier. The lady, it seems, bears so
little trace of her African origin that
unless very closely scanned she would
pass for a white; hence the ease with
which she gained admission TO the thea
ter undetected You have heard of
the three colored gentlemen who snug
gled themselves into the, National Thea
ter here a few weeks ago and were
compelled TO leave on being discovered.
Well, it turns ont that the trio had
another object in that visit to the thea
Ter than The one generally assigned.
lnSN went lDtTt ms Tue puE-i
pose of "sportipg' the beautiful young
colored lady in the company of her dis
tinCuished admirer as of testing their
right to admission on white equality.
The young lady WAS there that very
night, and the circumstance became
known 10 a great many respectable
white ladies who were acquainted with
the gentleman accompanying her. The
next morning the affair was in the
mouths of all the gossips, male and fs-
male, and the sensation that resulted
was so unpleasant to the gentleman
" ho constituted the hero Of the scan
dal that he fed from this city TO New
York for protection. Altogether it is
about the largest social scandal of the
season.

difficulties which beset the solution of
this problem IS easily accounted for.

SnFRlDAN's despatch to General Sherman
gives a graphic picture Of the results of a
successful campaign against the fierce and re-
fractory tribes Of the Plains. These wild war
riors have hitherto waged war whenever their
cupidity was excited, or their young braves
had a good opportunity to secure white scalps,
and they have dictated the terms OF peace to
venal commissioners. In summer, when they
could roam at will over the vast buffalo
grounds, they loved to go to war, 80 that the
excitement Of the chase might lie pleasantly
and proftably varied with the pursuit of
stage-coach, the plunder Of a rancho, or an
attack upon an unguarded train. In winter
they were always ready TO listen to proposals
of peace, which had no practical meaning
except that they received small share of the
proceeds of the moneys the Government ap-
propriated, nOminally, for their benefit.
Sheridan has demonstrated at last that retri-
button can be brought home to them, in their
most remote retreats, even in the dead of
winter, and that the nation will punish its
enemies rather than purchase false friends.
The unconditional surrender OF the leading
chiefs of the hostile tribes will, we hope,
prove the precursor of genuins and lasting
peace.

There is still another opportunity for Mayor
Fox ard Chief MulhOlland to contribute to the
efficiency Of the force. Hitherto, whenever q
charge of any kind has been brought by a
citizen against policeman, the affair has been
erred to a commission consisting of the
Chief and two or three lieutenants, who have
investigated IL in room in the basement of
the building in which the headquarters of the
force are located, with closed doors and in the
most secret manner. AS a consequences, it is
seldom that a member OF the force has been
properly punished for dereliction of duty. The
chances are altogether with the accused; and
even when deprivation of pay or
suspension from duty is inflicted,

case, and the great reformatory influence of
