THE FROLIC,

The warlroom officers OF the United states hagship
Frolic gave grand dinner on Wednesday evening
TO the officers OF the French rigate Minerve At half
past six O'Clock the French and American officers,
all In lull-dress uniform, were assembled around
the festive board, which was covered and enclosed
on all sides with canvass, while the interior was
draped with the 1ags of France and the United
states tastefully blended. Two chandeliers
formed by swords and bayoneis shed brilliant
light over the dinner table. which was tasteiully
arranged. In addition to the naval officers whose
uniforms of blue and gold presented beautiful
sight, Il was graced by the presence Of several
ladies. The cordial feeling existing between the
naval officers Of the two nations found expression
In several toasts and speeches which were In ex-
ceilent taste and fairly aroused those present to
enthusiasm. The dinner was an elaborate one,
and would favoraby compare with the best at
Dclmonico's. The French and American oifcers
separated at about eleven o'clock, with assurances
OF everlasting friendship ana an improved opinion
of one another, and by midnight the gay and
animated scene was changed TO silence and outer
darkness.
The Frolic Is the nagship of Vice Admiral Rowan,
and has for several months been stationed at this
port Her officers are all hgh-toncd gentlemen,
generous and hosptable 10 their friends, and kind
and consderate to their suDordinates. The vessel
though sh0rt-handed, is kept In excellent order,
and " III bear the closest inspection at any time.
The quarters OF the sailors and marines have an
air OF comfort and cleanliness about them and the
men appear to be perfectly contented. Indeed, q
perusal OF the "llberty bookn shows that they are
greatly favored, being allowed to &C ashore often

siders himself to be in q dangerous condition from
the effects Of pistol shot wound OF the

heretofore reported In the HERALD. Mr.. Hayes,
whose home Is in Watertown, Jefferson county, this
State says he arrived In the city at O'Clock on
the morning OF the sth utimo and strolled into the
Park during the afternoon. At seven O'Clock in the
evening, as he was leaving the PARK. ana when
near the reservoir two men approached and said
TO hin, 'Give me your money" He replied, II

CLERICAL ACTION ON DIR. v1NToN's DEATH

In obedience to an invitation given at the funeral
of the late Rev. Dr. Vinton, on Wednesday, a num-
ber of ministers from this city and Brooklyn met
last night in Trinity chapel Twenty-nfth street,
near Broadway, to take some suitable action me-
MORALLY toward the decease. Bishop Potter pre-
sided and Rev. DR.. Ogllby acted secretary. A
letter was read from DR.. Gallaudet who was un-
able to attend expressing his deep sympathy with
the object OF the meeting and his great regret at
the loss which not only the Church sustained but
his own mission to the deaf mutcs sustans, In the
death Of DR.. yinton, who was warm friend and
advocate Of the mission to these children
OF silence. Remarks were made by Drs.
Dix, Ogiby, Buell., Schenck, Professor
Seacord and others on the ministerial
character and labors OF the deceased. While DR..
Dix and himself differed very materially on many
points they ceased not to bear the warmest attach
ment toward each other. Dr.. Dix had known him
for twenty five years, and had always looked upon
him as friend and father, and 1t was with heart
burnngs that he accepted the position of rector OF
Trinity church and thus became the ecclesiastical
superior of the deceased. Dr. Ogilby had been asso-
ciated with him for thirteen years and admired his
sweet Christian character and even temper and
disposition. Professor seacord and Dr. Buell. eulo-
giZed his assiduty in the chair OF Canon Law in the
Seminary-a chair which had been created and en-
dowed mainly through his instrumentaty and espe-
cially for himself He prepared O catechsm on
canon law for the students, which showed remark
able research. He had also prepared q Compen-
dum OF Canon Law, which DR.. Seacord believed
would become a standard work In the Church by
and by.
Bishop Potter made some remarks about the
soemnity OF death, and incidentally referred to the
pomp and ceremony OF funerals. For himself he
said, he should prefer quiet funera for when the
Scriptures are read and the prayers recited all the
rest is pomp and vanity. He, however disclaimed
any alluson whatever to the funeral OF the late DR..
Vnton; for he believed that the dense congrega-
tion which crowded Trinity church on that occa
sion were drawn thither spontaneously out OF pure
love for the deceased minister and sympathy with
his work. Dr. 0gby added that the funeral
ranRements were kept as quiet as they could be,
and that even the sections did not know much
about the programme OF services.
The subject was deemed too important to he
hastily acted upon, and a committee consisting OF
Drs. Ogilby, Forbes Fowler, Schenck and Fair
BARN was appointed to draft suitable minute or
resolution and to report at q subsequent meeting.
The Bishop was requested to preach Il memorial
sermon at future day with Rev. Dr. Dix as alter
nate.

THE LATE SOLDIERS CONVENTION

Cn usflc Reply to General Burnside's
Letter-Who Has the Right to Talk
for the Soldiers and Who Has Not
Unpleasant War "Reminiscences as
Political Argument.
The following letter was yesterday sent to Gen.
eral A. f. Burnside
General A. Il. BURNSIDE
DEAR GESERAL-I have read with great interest
your address to the soldiers and sailors who served
In the Union army and navy during the late war.
As AS was ohs VI .ne s9iuieIs aiiuoeu 10, trust you
sponse thereto. You tell us that you and others,
as our representatives, met at Pittsburg and
adopted series OF resolutions which we have
already seen. iou complain that Mr. Greeley has ex-
pressed the opinion that you assembled for political
purposes, and that you hoped to accomplish these
purposes by revivng the anim0sitics and hatreds
engendered by the war; You further say that these
remarks OF Mr. Greeley and his entire lack Of cour-
tesy toward the soldiers and sailors serve TO con.
firm you In the opinion that he is quite UNIT to be
trusted in any position where loyalty to his govern.
abnegation OF self is required You then proceed
to inform US IN conclusion that 1t only remains
for you to urge US to organize In harmony with the
power to re-elect General Grant
The first thought that occurred to my mind on
reading this address was "What was there I'm
General Burnsde's military career that justides

NY second thought was Els IL credtabie to the
soldiers OF the late war that one OF their number
should be permitted as their pretended representa-.
tive to spread broadcast over the land document

Of the saying tnat "the pen is mightcr than the
sword" is coming year by year, to be more generally
acknowledged. In view OF the election OF General
Grant to the Presidency, and OF the fact that he Is
candidate for reelection, there are probably some
men in the country who doubt its truth II how

that the pen should be handled by d Greeley and

appear. You and l, General, know full well that
Mr.. Greeley was welding In behalf OF the same
cause weapon far more powerful than those used
by either OF us. We know, too, that long after we
had sheathed our swords he kept up the fight

The trial OF Dennlng and Proctor on the charge
OF attempting to rob the First National Bank OF
Jersey CITY, was commenced yesterday. Foley, the
third Of the gang, had previously pleaded guilty.
Judge Depue presided in the absence OF Judge
Bede. As the robbery was not accomplished the
main charge against the accused was that
OF having burglars tools In their possession.
BY statute Of 1870 this offence Is punishable by i'm
prisonment not exceeding fifteen years or fine OF
IA 0D0 or both. There was as much difficulty In
obtaining jury as II the alleged culprits were on
trial for murder District Attorney Gatretson, who
was assisted by the Attorney General, opened the
case for the State, and the prosecution had not
closed when the Court adjourned. Some OF the
friends Of the prisoners In Court were desperate
looking characters, and the utmost vigilance the
part OF the deputy sherinfs and constables was
necessary.
