The Clergymen's Mutual Insurance League,
an institution for the relief Of families of de.
ceased clergymen of the Episcopal Church, was
organized in September, 1865 in the State of
New Jersey and though it has no agency, and
no advertisements beyond some notices in church
papers, and some circulars and reports sent
through the mail to the clergy, yet with these
simple means now numbers 69S members, from
every diocese and missionary jurisdiction.

Tho senate, on Friday, by vote OF forty to
three confirmed Senator Frelinghuysen to be
Minister to England. This action is new
endorsement of the President and a now evi-
depce that he will not be hampered and
obstructed by the Senate, in tho choice OF his
chief subor,liiates. AS to MI. r.Motley, for whose
retirement some regret is expressed, We conceive
him to be of no more importance than any other
citizen, when considered in his relations to the
country, and if it is the Judgment OF the frcsi-
dent and his advisers to recall him, there need
be no hesitation about the matter. Mr.. Motley
has written some good histories; and 80 have

Tho adjustable gauge car, which recently ran
from New York to San Francisco and back, is
claimed to have proved the value of the inven-
ton, and freight, it is anticipated, can now be
carried between the Atlantic and the Pacific
without breaking bulk.
The item is much longer, and describes the
route which this car that didn't " break bulk"
took What nonsense; cars can run from the
Atlantic to the Paciiic without difficulty, and
hundreds have done 80. The gauge by the
Pennsylvania Central and its Fort Wayne extern
sion to Chicago; thence by the Rock Island road
to Omaha, and thence by the Pacific lines, is
practically uniform all the way. Numerous cars
have been sent from this city to San Francisco
by this route, There is no need of patent
adjustable gauge cars" except for the absurd
broad track of tile Erie lines, and some of tho
other New York monstrosities.

We are glad to see, since it has spoken, some
times, rather severely of the Senate, especially
on the income tax question. But we thought,
even when it was uttering those prodigious roars,
and tearing up the unoffending earth by hoof-

is that the Senate is a wise body, and everybody
should have one i'll tho house. SO the Bulletin

While 1t is true that the preponderance OF
feeling among our people seems largely in favor
OF Prussia, there are some facts to be remem-
bered on the side of France. 1t seems fairly
certain that the intrigue to place Hohenzollern
on the Spanish throne had progressed under the
approval, and probably by the direct coopera'ioh'
OF Bismarck. The scheme having peeh coiisuii-
mated, there would nave been frussian any on
the south OF France, ready 10 ASSIST frus'a
herself, attacking from the west, whenever
war should occur 1t would plainly have been
suicidal policy for France TO nave permtteo 'iie
success OF such an intrigue, and her Indignant
protests against it were only reasonable, wmie
the manner in which they were received was
hardly better than contemptuous.

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

With whatever degree of cheerfulness some
may he disposed to regard the outbreak of wal
in Europe,on account of its probable stimulating
influence upon onr business interests it must be
looked upon al a terrible calamity, which has
fallen upon millions Of innocent people, through
tile mad ambition of very few. WAR is game,
Which, We're their subjects wise, kings would not
play at says the poet, and such trial of brute
strength, as this between France and Prussia,
must entail countless suilerings and miseries
upon the subjects of tho two governments. Fam
lies will lie broken mp, forever husbands, sons
brothers. will die upon the field, or languish il
pain and sickness, far from their homes cities
will he heseiged countries laid desolate; and
escry brutal passion, which in the nature of man
seems, after all his outward polish, to be sc
strong beneath the surface, will be let loose to
du ruin and destruction. That two nations, like
France and Prussia, should, in these days oi
loasted enlightenment and progress, without
cause without the ilyoly emcnt of single import
ant principle, engage in bloody and desperate
war is sad commentary, after all, upon the
Christianity of the world The religion Of Jesrlt
Christ is, essentially, Pedce; and it teaches to
endure injury and suffering rather than make
war But the spirit of this conflict in Europe is
tlta Of the savage and rude ages, and the gentlcr
and purer precepts of the Christian faith arc
liod,len beneath their reckless feet.

some houses have five hundred and others have
one thousand dodgers. A three-story building,
on lot fifty feet square, called the " Globe
HOTEL has 2, 800 inmates. From the basement
to the roof OF the dwelling hunks about the size
of coffin are fitted up for dodgers. The ground
is also scooped out into subterranean apartments,
where gambling is going on night and day and
where other worse crimes are committed 1t is
also alleged that in these underground recesses
subterranean courts, with judges and execution
