bune,f swriting from Washington, says that'a
letter.has been received from Ar. Voorhees,,
dated Terra.Haute October 18th, Ia which he

part of those engaged in the proceedings to
a9itate the question of religious equality in
eyerY practicable manner.
Avery practical question was taken up
by the New. York State Convention OF the
Congregational Church, at Rochester, on
Wednesday. a resolution was passed recon-
mending Monday instead Of Saturday as pay
day, to employers and employed. This is on
