Episcopal Church. DR.. Pinkney was origi-
nally Methodist, and was at one time pre-
pairing for the ministry in that denomination,
for which purpose he entered the Theological
College at Princeton, New Jersey. Here,
however, the course of his reading changed
bis theological views, and fually he was in
duced to enter the ministry of the Episcopal
Church. Since bis entrance upon the minis
try he has always held Cure in the Diocese
OF Maryland. For about twenty years he was
in charge of congregation at Bladensburg,
Prince Georges county, his present residence
but for the last ten years he has been the
Rector Of the Church Of the Ascension, Wash
ington city. In the course of his ministry he
has found time to devote some attention to
literary pursuits, and has been the author of
several works, including one on the life of his
uncle, VIM. Pinkney. DR.. Pinkney is about
sixty years of age, but exhibits considerable
vigor aud activity. The testimonials of the
Bishop elect, after having been signed, will
be forwarded to the Presiding Bishop of the
Episcopal Church in the United States, who
will in due time appoint time for the con-
secration of Assistant Bishop Pinkney. Not
less than three Bishops are required to be
present and unite in the conservation of a

Presbyterian Reunion.

The overtures Of the Presbyterian General
Assembly to the Southern Presbyterian AS
sembly do not seem to have proved very sue
cessful. A committee on the subject having
been appointed in the latter body, the major
ity report that the Presbyterian Church "must
purge itself of error in regard to political ut
terances, deliberately pronounced year after
year, and which, in our opinion, was a be-
trayal in the cause and Kingdom of our COM
mon Lord and head. Nor can we, by official
correspondence. consent to blunt the edge OF
this, our testimony concerning the nature and
mission of the Church as purely spiritual
body among men," After some discussion,
the majority report was adopted by vote Of
80 to Is. 1t is very clear that reunion can
not be effected upon any such terms. The
two Churches, Old and New School, never
mace any such requirements of each other,
but simply agreed that no action by either
party, during the separation, should bind the
reunited Church, unless it had been the action
of both bodies. This required no compromise
of principle on either side. The acknowledge
ed standards of the Church formed the sole
ground of reunion.

D~In the United States District Court on
Wednesday Hon. Archibald Stirling, District
Attorney, in accordance with instructions
from Commissioner Delano, entered suit a.
gainst the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad Com
pany for the recovery Of the five per cent.
internal revenue tax due the United States on
the interest collected by the company on its
s., 600, 900 loan from the city of Baltimore.
The arrearages of tax sought to be recovered
amount to about 100000. 1t is said that the
company deducts the tax from its dividends,
but fails to return it to the United States on
the ground that it is due the city, but the city
does not receive it from the Company, not
withstanding it is deducted from its dividends.
This arrangement is somewhat similar to that
regarding the tax of one-ffth of the receipts
Of the company on its Washington Branch.
The tax is collected for the State, but the
State does not receive any portion Of it.

Spain and Emancipation.

The Minister for the colonies read to the
Spanish Cortes, on the 2sth ult., the draft o!
law for the gradual extinction of slavery in
all the Spanish possessions. The bill provides
that children born of slaves since 1868 shall
be free, the government paying an indemnity
of $50 for each; and all born since the pro-
mitigation of the law to be Internationally
free. Slaves who have fought in the Spanish
service, and all over sixty-ive years Of age,
are to be Immediately set free. Portugal and
Spain were the pioneers in the African slave
trade, and Spain and Brazil, the offspring Of
Portugal, (which has taken no step as yet to-
ward abolition,) are among the last to give it
up. The total slave population Of Cuba, ac-
cordiug to the census of 1867, was s74,54e.

, fD@ We understand that John G. Bush
the colored man, who was recently appointed
Postmaster at Aliens Fresh, by Mr.. Creswell
failing to obtain the usual bond required by
the Department, has declined" the appoint
ment. Bush is tailor by trade and has
been generally patronized IN the neighborhood
where be lives, and has heretofore made re-
spectacle living for himself and family by bis
trade. The revenues of the office to which
he was appointed amount to about sixty dol
hrs year, and the bond required to be CIV
en- to about double that amount. The quer-
~ naturally arises, why has the appointee Of
the P. N. G., who We suppose was selected
for bis integrity and ability to discharge the
duties Of Postmaster, been thus left "out in
the cold ?" Where are the "true" friends Of
the negro, that they fail to come forward and
endorse Mr.. Creswell's "policy7"

Il Yeang Man Killed At Glymont.
A sad accident occurred at Glymont, in this

man named William H. Brashears, Of WASH

wooden swings, and undertook to raise him
self to such height that the swing broke,
and he was thrown to the ground, striking,
as be fell, his head upon bench, injurins
him 20 severely as to cause bis death within
ten minutes. He was taken up and carried
into Ne Pavilion, but did not speak after his
fall. The sad accident cast gloom over the
entire pleasure party, and put an end for the
time to all the amusements of the occasion.
No.oneIis to blame for the accident, as visitors
have frequently been cautioned by Mr.. Shat
field and his assistants to swing moderately

had been married but three months. His re-

ly the names, ages, sexes, colors, &C., of its
membess, and also information for the COM
pilation. Of statistics concerning farm produc-
tons, manufactures, &c. The information
given must be, as nearly as possible, exact,
and should be properly given by the head Of
the family. Paterfamilias will do well to at
tend to this himself, for it is worth remember
ing that any false information, purposely Civ
en-, subjects the offender to a fine of $50; and
this ine can be sued for as debt by the De-
putty or assistant Marshal to whom the false
information is given. The value Of. the
"Census Returns" ought to be appreciated BY
every intelligent man. and every good citizen
should do his part toward ensuring expedition
and reliability. e..

Registration in Washington.

The correspondent Of the Baltimore Ga
zette, abiding to the frauds and rascalities OF
the shameless Bowen ring, at the revision of
the registration lists at the City Hall on Sat-
urday last, says: ''Though it was quite GER
tain that large number of those presenting
themselves for registration were strangers 10
the city, no precaution was taken to put them
on their oath as to their residence bere.-
Wagons and carts directly from Maryland
and Virginia we're driven up in front of the
City Hall with loads of colored Bowen "vot-
ers, and they were Immediately instructed
by the Bowen strikers as to what street or
alley they should give as their residence in
Washington. They were then placed in line
and accompanied to the registration stand by
city Bowen men capable of prompting them
at the last moment in case they should forget
the answers they had been instructed to give. ="
The same correspondent significantly re-
marks that on occasion the emigration will be
reversed, and the swarm be hived in the low
cr counties.

D@The memorial or petition of sundry
colored people Of Maryland, which was pre-
sented in the Senate on Saturday by Mr..
Sumner, is very fair illustration of the false
and contemplate means to which the Radical
faction habitually resorts to excite the ami
mostly of the North against the South, and
to strengthen its own power. The memorial
lists alleged that they were prescribed in this
State "both on land and water;" that the
"virus of slavery still rages;" that they are
"denied comfortable lodgings" that "they are
put under the feet of CATTLE and that they
have, in fact, no rights which are respected by
our people. How monstrously and ridicu-
lousy untrue all these allegations are, the
signers of the memorial know perfectly well.
Mr.. Sumner knows it also, and yet, for the
purpose of advancing the ends Of the Radical
party, he gravely countenauced the statement
that the negro population here was being in
diverse ways horribly maltreated and oppress-
ed. 1T is true that nobody has volunteered
to furnish each negro with mule and forty
acres of land, nor has any one given up his
residence rent free to any of his black neigh
bors. 1t is, moreover, the fact that the own
ers of hotels and the proprietors of public
|conveysnces decline TO incnr the risk of d.
minished dividends by forcing the white man
to accept the social equality Of the black
Excepting in these particulars. the one race is
as free and is as fully under the protection Of
the law as the other. The negro here is as
much at liberty to buy and to build as any
one else. He is in precisely the same posi-
ton as bis brethren are in New York or Mas
sachusetts, and notwithstanding this, Mr..
Sumner has the brazen hardihood to endorse
all statements sent from the Southern States
which represent the blacks as being there vir-
tually in a condition of slavery. In this bu-
siness the negro dupes are much less to be
despised and detested than are the mendaci-
Gus and hypocritical politicians in Congress
and elsewhere who are making use of them
for purposes SO utterly infamous.-Baltin'ore
