The Legislature---Extra Session.
The Insurance Question - Antiquarian
Interest in the Old sOuIh Church-An
Adjournment TO Monday.
BOSTON. Fridnr. Nov %. Il


The business in general session to to-day was
transacted in less than half an hour in both
chambers. Some of the committees made re-
ports, not, however, on the principal PROPOSE
tons that are before them. The committee on
the building act reported in favor of incorporat.
ing the Boston Merchants Exchange, and adj
versely to the petition of Messrs. Cross and
others for prohibiting legislation concerning fire
works. Mr.. Coriss said in explanation of the
latter report that municipalities had authority
under the statutes now to regulate the matter.
moreover the subject was of that general class
that il would be wiser to leave it untouched at
the special session. The petitioners forIa renewal
Of the charter of the Union Exchange company
were also refused their prayer.
At the request of Mr.. Cogswell, the railroad
committee consenting, the bill reported yester-
day granting the Boston, Hartford & Erie rail-
road company permission to extend temporari-
" their tracks into the burnt district of Boston.
was reeommittcd, in order TO give the opposition
a chance 10 be heard. Mr. Newell introduced a
bill making new regulations for mutual in
surance companies, which was greeted with con.
siderable leyty by the house, and Mr.. Baldwin
presented the petition of Henry Cbapin Dir
VIM. Workman and nineteen others of the in.
solvent IeOpes nfe insurance company of Wor.
cester, asking TO be chartered as the People's in
surance company, with capital of 5000 600
both Of which were referred to the committee on
insurance.
There were two petitions presented today. one
headed by the name of Roberto Winthrop, ask
ing for legislative action to preserve the Old
South church in its present condition. The an-
tiquarians look with dsmay on the project
which has the sanction Of the Old South pew
holders to turn that revolutionary relic into
post Office. The petition Of the Old South socie
ty for leave TO sell or lease the ancient edifce
was the subject OF long committee hearing to-
day. Linus NJ. Child appeared for the petition
ers, aud Richard II. Dana for the remonstrants.
~ appeared in the course OF the investigation
that the wife Of Mr.. Norton, one of the early
pastors Of the church, gave the land on which
tne church stands 10 the society, and
subsequently the parsonage aud garden adj.

" oRCE ER
SATURDAY.. NOVEMBER es. 1879.
Mr.. FrOuae,s Challenge,

1t has been charged against Mr.. Froude, as a
historian, that he is Inaccurate that he deals
with historical documents loosely, and that he
sometimes makes the old documents say more
than can be found in them. In one of his lee
lures, in Boston, he has taken notice OF these
charges, and proposed novel method of test
ing their correctness. Ii is the same method
which he proposed in his challenge to the Sat
urday Review, in answer to similar criticisms.
He says: "Let my accusers select one, two, three,
or tour hundred pages of my historical works,
and submit them to the keeper of the records
in England, with whom all the historical docu-
ments are deposited. Then appoint commits
sion TO compare my works with these docu-
ments." In this way, he thinks, the question of
accuracy can be properly and conclusively set
tied. As he can not really suppose that any,
body will try this method, his proposition is
practically an evasion of the issue, whether he
SO intends it or not. He has at command
better method of meeting the charges than this.
One part of Mr.. Froude's history of England
which has been most severely criticised is that
which relates to the history and death of Mary
Queen of Scots. 1t appears to have been shown
that his treatment Of this matter is incorrect,
unrustworthy, and unjust. If he can reply
successfully to the criticism bestowed upon this
part of his work, let him publish the reply, and
he will do more TO convince those who doubt
than could be done by a thousand such commits
sions as he suggests. Let him take in hand the
book iof Mr.. Incline, in which the charges relative
to Mary Queen of Scots are made distinctly,
and. as many suppose, fully established by
proof. Let Mr.. Froude make a conclusive
answer to Mr.. incline, and he will not only
silence all similar criticism but, also, dscredit
all charges of inaccuIacy and unfarness made
against him, and substitute confidence for
doubt. Certainly, the book OF Mr.. Meline de-
serves his attention; and to answer it efectually
would be the most conclusive reply possible to
all the criticism of which he complains. If he
shall decide TO write and publish such a reply,
it will have q great sale.

A ScANDALoUs SCENE IN RoMg.-Ietters
from Rome describe curious scene said 10 have
occurred at the Vatican on the last Sunday in
October. IL was deemed desirable bv certain
zealots who surrounded the pope to give Cardi-
nal Cullen high opinion of the attachment of
Roman people TO the temporal power. The so.
ciety for the promotion of Catholic interests
took the matter in hand and got together vast
number Of persons belonging to the lower Or
ders. Ii is said that as many as 5000 were col.
lected, and that large portion of them were
paid Tor their assistance. The guidance of this
motley army was undertaken by Don Pietro
Aldobrandlni, prince of Sarsni, who was
charged TO read to the pope an address, which
an Italian paper says II dares not print, since TO
do so would be TO transgress the laws and incur
immediate seizure. The pope replied bv a
speech, in which he explained that it is one
thing TO be now in Rome and another thing TO
remain there always. To this speech succeeded a
tumult such as tue halls of the Vatican can
rarely before have witnessed. The building rang

DIAMONDS IN THE D UsTPAN.-The Vallejo
Independent of November 18th relates this Incl
dent. A few days ago a lady in this city re-
ceived a consignment of diamonds from a friend
of hers, near relation, who had toiled over
mountain and plain ard met the Apache Indian
in his native widS, all in order to get some dla-
monds and present them to a lady. There were
eight diamonds in all, and they shOne in the
rough with dazzling brilliancy which was de-
lightlul to behold. When she received the stones
she was engaged in household duties, as every
well rec ulated housewife is, or ought to be, &C.
casionally during the day. Upon receiving the
package she laid down dust-pan, which she
was holding in her hand, on a chair and pro-
ceeded to examine the brilliant productions Of
Arizona. While engaged in this manner there
came a tremendous ring at the door bell, and no
less a parsonage than one of the political
lights Of Mare island was announced. OF course
the presence of so eminent parsonage who has
the power to make or unmake congressman, had
he effect of putting this lady, who claims no
exemption from the delicate timidity of her sex,
into terrible hutter, aud in the hurry and eX-
element she threw the diamonds into the dust
pan, and laid some papers which she had Just
swept off the carpet carefully away on the man
telpiece. After the politician had called and
left, the lady returned 10 her neglected dust pan
and pitched many dollars worth of diamonds no.
body, not even herself, knows where. The whole
household has been actively engaged in a search
for the discarded diamonds, but so far the hunt
has been unavailings. The absent.minded lady
feels her loss very keenly.

SENATOR SUMMERTIME. Smalley, writing at
London, November 9th, and addressed to the
New York Tribune, gives some account of Sena-
tor Summers movements in England, since he
returned from Paris. 1t is stated among other
things that he was going down to Frampton
Hall "to attend the christening of Mr. Motley's
granddaughter" The letter says:
at is, fear, settled that Mr.. Sumner sails for
America on the 18th. He remains deaf to the
entreaties of his friends, English and American
who seek to keep him here, and deaf also, l be-
lieye to the warnings of his own system the
gravity Of which he cannot underrate but which
he is determined to disregard. The PLAN truth
is, that Mr.. Sumner is not well enough to 90 back
to America, and take his seat in the senate and
20 on with his usual work. The last week or
two have done little or nothing to modify the
opinion | have expressed in previous letters.
He does not give himself time nor a fair chance
of recovery. Everybody who meets him sees
that he ought not TO resume work yet and
everybody who feels himself authorized to say
anything to Mr.. Sumner on such subject has
urged him TO prOlong his stay here. 1t is Just
possible he may yield at the last moment bat
his present purpose is, as / have said, TO 20.
The fact that DIR. BrOwn-Sequard is in America
has something TO do with his resolution. All
can add is that hope DR.. BrowD-Sequard will
send his patient back to Europe by the first
steamer"
