In reference to the recent report Of the Prcsl-
dent of the G. T.. O. Canal, and the subject of
tolls on the canal, the Baltimore American
says: 1.-THE report attributes the comparative
decrease of the revenue to the light shipments
by the Consolidation company, but this proyokes
the question why the company should prefer to
transfer their freight to the railroad in prefer
cucc to the canal We certainly cannot under
stand that portion of the report which speaks
of an Increased revenue, Notwithstanding the
decrease in tonnage, for It is notorious that the
recent advancement of canal tolls has directly
operated in forcing tonnage upon the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad.

a white man named Joseph Smith, was
found yesterday on board the schooner May
flower, with his head crushed in. The injured
man, was evidently attacked by burglars, who
it is thought mistook the MayAowcr for the
yacht belonging to the Amercus Yacht Club
and intended to get the silver plate recently
presented to the club. They broke open the
closets and searched them, leaving Smith sense
less. Dr. Boarman is Of the opinion that the
wounds are mortal. Officer Brock arrested a
man named Tnlson, in II boat with quantity
of tea on board, but it was subsequently asccr
tanned that a store had been robbed in Alcxan-

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLIES In
order that readers may understand how it is
that the telegraph has recently reported the
proceedings Of two Presbyterian General As
semblics-one 10 Baltimore, and one in Phila-
dclphia-it may be as we'll to explain that the
assembly known as the General Assembly Of
the United Presbyterian Church, is an organi-
cation holding largely to the same faith with
the Prcsbyterians but made up mainly Of the
ramifcations of the Old Scotch Presbyterian
churches, and differing from the other Presby-
terians on some minor points of church order,
and especially on psalmody, secret societies,
and one or two questions of lesser moment It
is large, very Intelligent, land influential church
body. though by no means so important as the
one formed by the union some years ago in
New York of the old and new school Presby-
tcrians, whose assembly at Baltimore recently
adjourned. = Wash. Star.

GEN. R. Z. LEE.-A writer in the Rich
mond Euouircr, Gen. Dabney H. Maury,
corrects several errors that have appeared re-
Gently 10 the reviews of English magazines OF
Cookies Life of Lee" and a review in the
Standard of an article in the Edinburgh. We
extract the following, which we regard as au-
thentic in regard to the forces employed by
Lee and Grant in the great battles from Spot
sylvania to Richmond.
1T is we'll established by the Federal records
that the losses of Grant between his first COLI
sion with Lees army, and the defeat which, he
sustained at Cold Harbor, amounted to
1875 900 men Swinton and other careful his
torians so state it. The Edinburgh Reviewer
places the total losses Of the Army Of the Po-
tomac at much lower figure. While he
states the numbers of the Army of Northern
Virginia at 10 900 electives, we know Gen.
Lee did not have $4,000 men on any one bat
tle-feld during the campaign.
Again, the ar1Iy of Grant at the Appomat-
tox is stated in the Review at $50, 900 -that Of
Lee at 40, 900 Whereas Gen. Lee himself as
surcd the writer Of this that on the ID Of April,
1868, his whole force of all arms amounted to
only So 900 men, while Grant stated to Gen.
Ice that on the same date his effective force Of
all arms numbered no less than 22O. 900 men.
he surrendered at Appomattox on the 9th Of
April, after seven days of hard marching, fight
lug and starvation, he had only about S.uDO
effcctivcs left to bear the batte-hags for the
last time of the grandcst army which ever yet
has upheld righteous cause, aud Illustrated

TIE ARLINGTON ESTATE. -1he Washington
Republican corrects Louisville contemporary
who, it says, falls into an error when it says
that the property (Arngton) was forfeited
to the government by the act Of General Lee,
in going into the Confederate service. 1t is
true that in d technical aud legal sense Airing
ton did not so become the property Of the Uni
ted States government, as under our constitu-
ton and laws no real estate can be confiScatcd
in perpcuity or in fee, but only during the life
time of the owner, and then upon trial and
proper decree of a court. The government,
however, early took possession of the Airing
ton property, and then a7alled Of the discredi-
table dodge of setting it up and selling it for
unpaid federal taxes, thus to get tax title on
which to hold it 10 perpetulty. All subsc-
q,lcnt offers to redeem it in behalf of its real
owner Mrs. Lee, have been diSrcgardcd and
thus this dear home of her childhood is not
only withheld from now dccrepit old lady, but
all compensation is so far refused her by GOV
crnment which claims the loyalty of herself aad
children All honest citizens Of the republic
are shamcd by the spectacle. -Bah. Sun.

of canon Is, which disturbances church mem
bcrs attending horse races, theatrical exhibit
tons, and other vain and light amuSemeuts. !"
This proposition gave rise to considerable de-
bate, but the suggestion to repeal was finally
amended as follows, and adopted, to wit:
'"Ihat in recommending the repeal of this
canon the committee is not to be understood as
intending to give any sanction to such worldly
amuscmcnts as are plainly inconsistent with
baptismal vows" The Bishop Of the Diocese
