Vatory whlch Is being constructed. The In
termediate reservation between the Botanical
Gardens and the Smithsonian grounds re-
main In the same condition as at the last re-
port.
The Smithsonian grounds require great
deal OF attention, and many additional i'm
proyements are needed TO make the arrange

original design. II Is to be hoped that no
further cause may arise from the want OF
funds, aud that the work may progress rap
Idly towards completion.
The grounds OF the agricultural depart.
ment are being handsomely arranged and
The monumental reservation remains un.
changed. II Is susceptible OF very great
adjournment, particularly as 1t Is located in
such close proximity to the banks of the
Potomac.
The proposed plan for the laying out OF
the grounds Immediately south OF the White

Tariff Matters,

The Committee of Ways and Means Of
the House Of Representatives was en-
gagged during a large portion of the past
summer and fall in an investigation Of
our custom house system and the opera
ton of our tariff laws. From experts in
our principal seaport cities they took a
large amount of testimony as TO the con-
diton of commerce and manufactures,
and the working of the existing system
Of duties on imports. The Washington
Chronicle, of November 6, which, proba-
bly,, has authentic information on the
subject, says that the Committee has
nearly come to the unanimous determi-
nation to increase the free list largely in
the present tariff, on articles Of which no
supply is produced in the United States.
Many articles, says the Chronicle, ''pro-
duced in foreign countries alone, and
used heavily in our domestic manufac-
lures, still stand on the statute books
taxed ct war rates. The addition of these
to the free list by the Committee of Ways
and Meansi is one of the important results
of their recent travels"
The same paper also drops the COM
fcrting assurance to protectionists, that
''the justice and expediency of protect
ing our great home industries have new
er been so cleSr as at the present day
What particular Industries" are meaht,
is left for conjecture. Tbs efforts of the
free traders are likely to bear so hard
upon Congress that more or less tinker
ing with the tariff laws no doubt will be
attempted. The only thing necessary to
knock the bottom entirely out of our
present financial system, is the inaugu-
ration of the free trade policy by Con-
, ress.

Another Rebellion.

That portion OF British North America
called the Red River Country, is in q
ferment and dares to defy the old lion.
The object of the uprising is opposition
to being made a part of the Cannadial.
Confederation of the New Dominion.
The Red River people desire to remain.
an independent British colony, subjeci
only to the home government of Eng
land. It is apprehended that war ano
bloodshed may result from a CansdiaL
attempt at coercion. Late intelligence
says that Governor McDougsl is now
encamped in Dakota Territory. Thathe
and his staff will await events at Fort
Geary, where q party in his favor is said
TO exis5, consisting of the late Hudson
Bay Company officials and some Scotch
and English settlers. Meanwhile, the
insurgents nave a Provisional Govern
ment, and demand a territorial govern
meat, after the American fashion.
Letters from Pembina, lated NOvem-
Der 5 and 4, received at st. Paul, give
additional particulars of the rebellion.
II seems that Governor McDOugall re-
manned over the night of the ID at the
Hudson Bay stockade, about two miles
from the United States border, but in the
morning was notified by five hundred
rebels to leave British territory by s
o'clock. He declined doing so, and at s
o'clock the rebels marched into the
stockade and the Governor and party
marched out in haste, and betook them
selves to United States territory.

keep closely to that line, and find ii
works admirably, both forpublisher ano

around once q year as sure as Christmas.
We find, however, that subscribers gen.
orally prefer 10 have the paper stopped
when their time expires, and to have the
privilege of renewing or not as may suit
their inclination. 1t is to be hoped the
day is not remote when every newspa-

Adjustment of the MeHenry and At
Inntic and Great MeStern Difficulties.

NEW YORK, NOVEMBER l6.-It is sta
ted that the trouble between the Erie
managers and Mr.. McHenry of the At
lantic and Great Western railway. was
brought 10 a pacific and satisfactory con-
clusion yesterday. Messrs. Fisk, Gould,
McHenry and O'Dougherty and their
legal advisers were in constant commu-
nication throughout the day, and at last
the terms proposed by Fisk were agreed
to. Il is now arranged that the Erie
company shall pay at the rate OF SIG. OOO,-
GOO, inclusive of lease, for the use and
control OF the Atlantic and Great West
ern railway, and the necessary dOcu-
ments We're probably signed to-day.
Proceedings at law have been abandoned
on both sides, and the legal forces sta
toned At Akron have received orders to
disperso.

Correction,

In the CHRONICLE of Nov. 18th, under
I the the head presbyterian Assemblies
an error has occurred, growing very
naturally ont of a fact which probably
! the editor overlooked. At the same time
the that two General Assemblies of the
Presbyterian Church, 20. S. & y. s.
were meeting in Pittsburgh, there were
also the representatives of the United
! Presbyterian Church, and of the Reform
ed Presbyterian Church, meeting in the
saIEe city, on the same business, viz: the
forming of a union between the two
bodies. They were also successful in
accomplishing their purpose, and the
result was published in the same papers
with the proceedings of the o. :. & y.
). General Assemblies.
The Editor has given 4 correct account
of the doings of the two Assemblies, till
it comes to the basis of union and the
name Of the united body. At that point
/ the basis Of union of the L. p. Church
and the r. p. Church is reported as the
oasis of union of the o. s. K n. 5. Pres
oyterian church and tine same adopted
by those W. bodies, when united, viz:
Fne Union Presbyterian Church, was
given to the United body of the o. S. &
n. s. Churches.
The basis of union between the o. 5.
& n. s. Churches was in these words /:
'The reunion shall be effected on the
doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis of our
common standards the scriptures OF the
Old and New Testament5 shall be &C.
k~nowledged 10 be the inspired word Of
God and the only infallible rule of faith
and practice; the Confession of Faith
| shall continued to be sincerely receiYeda and
udopted as containing the system of doc
-rine taught in the Holy Scriptures, and
he Government and Discipline of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
shall be approved q containing the prin-
aiples and rules of our polity."
The name of tho united Church re-
mains the same which each has claimed
during the time of the separation, The
Presbyterian Church of the United States
uf America.
By giving the above q place in your
next issue you will only be doing justice
to each of the united bodies.

School Examinations.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-We merely wish
20 state a few facts with reference 20 ex-
Aminations. First, we must ask, VIVA;
-hese examinations are for? The answer
cIn be nothing else but TO find out who
are capable among those desiring to
teach. Next, what are they to teach
Ans. Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography,
orthography, Reading and Writing.
Now if 4 teacher answer all the ques-
tons, and them correctly, &C.
cordIng to good authors, should he not
De marked perfect? or, if he answers four
out OF six, is it right that he should be
marked a failure? or, If he has poor
marks in all branches, does that reject
him, when 5 is declared to be the failure?
There is one other thing We wish to mark,
which is Theory and Practice. This the
teacher is not asked to teach, yet he is
required to write out a long article of
how he would do this, or how he would
do that, and required to answer fully,
lest he would be rejected. Question LIST,
Why would you not have a school-house
IN the center of the street OF on the com
mons? ID. What would you do first on
entering the schuOl-room rs q teacher7
Sd. How many windows would you
have in a school ROOM? &c. Perhaps II
is well enough for teachers TO be required
TO answer such questions as these, but 1t
seems to us to be a perfect ''bore." Ger
tainly in such questions the examiner
can have 10 guide but his opinion, and
may we ask, what better is his opinion
than the opinion of those who have
taught terms where he has monthsg But
call this all right, and we will call the
next. We are told the first thing later
the ffty-three cents is collected) that only
certificates enough will be granted to
supply the schools with teachers. As
much as to say, no matter what your
qualifications may be, if there are enough
teachers you will not get a
certificate. This leaves our examinations
a perfect ffty-three cent lottery, and We
claim that it well represents it.
Yours, II. S.
Not a Rejected Teacher.

The fall term of Blzetta Academy, IN
der the control of Mr.. &. P. Faunce, clos
ed last Friday, Nov II. The average
daily attendance through the term, was
seventy-fve. The closing exercise came
off Friday evening, and consisted OF
Essays, Declarations and Colloquies.
4 paper, called 1.-THE GEN." was read
by Miss. Mary Gilbert, which certainly
betOkened much labor and ability on
the part of the Editoress. We cannot
speak Of each exercise, but all was list
ened to by the crowded audience with
attention, and evident satisfaction. Much
praise is due to the efficiency of the
teacher, as well as TO the perseverance of
the students, in affording the patrons and
friends the rich treat in the way of lit
erary entertainment.
After the valedictOry, which though
short, VAS very good, the audience was
dismissed, the performers requested to
tarry, as important business was at hand.
After the audience had left, a committee
erected a table on the stage, and another
committee of ladies prepared the oysters,
and perhaps a jollier set Of about fifty,
never sat up to oysters and crackers, un-
der any circumstances. We predict, that
forlong years in the future, many a happy
remembrance will be had, of the closing
exercise of the fall term OF 1869. Y.
