mernlng, Rev. Howard Crosby officia'
ting as moderator. The attendance
was not quite so large as on preceding
days, the cloudy weather keeping tbt
ladies away.
The question OF the celebration o.
the centennial of the National 1nde.
pendence brought forth the real sensa'
ton of the day, and led to warm and
sharp debate which almost threatened
to occasion an alarming disseDsion,
The report was made through the chair
man, Col. Snowder.
The Rev. Mr.. Oystertrot moved that
the report be laid upon the table.
DR.. Watson followed in an argument
objecting to this motion.
Rev. DR.. Harvey argued that the
Church should be careful OF taking
hasty action on this question, as II
might be construed TO have a political
side, which the Church should not
meddle with.
Rev. DR.. Van Dixie followed in a
warm speech opposing the report, and
claiming that the Church award its
allegiance only to Jesus Christ alone.
DR.. Wooden and Judge Derrickson
followed, in favor OF the report.
Rev. Mr.. Steward advocated the same
and thought as the Presbyterisns had
assisted in gaining the independence ol
the United States they should also
take part in its celebrations.
DR.. Martin protested against the res
olutions.
Rev. Dr.. Baclino moved TO refer the
entire matter to the historical society oi
the church.
Rev. Billingsgate and DR.. Oskin Of
Pennsylvania, advocated the celebra'
tion.
DR.. johnson, Of New York, did not
desire to shift the responsibility on the
historical society, and offered the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Backus.
At this juncture Hon. Horace May.
nsrd moved the previous question and
ended the debate. Mr.. Backus motion
was lost by a vote Of 100 to ll2. The
report was then adopted with the excep-
ton of the fifth item, which proposed
the publication OF illustrated books at
the celebration.
At II noon q recess was taken for
fifteen minutes. After the recess re-
port was made in favor Of a cheap pa
per for gratuitous circulation, bat it was

The Right TO Construct.
| The Attorney General has decided on
the question submitted by the War
Department that the Erie & Fulton rail-
road company have a right to build
their bridges now in course ofconstruc-
ton over the Arkansas river at Trinble
rock, provided they do not obstruct
navigation, and that the War DEPART
ment has no jurisdiction over the mat
ter. The company are constructing the
bridge under q charter from the Arkan.
sas legislature which authorizes them
10 cross streams in the State on the line
of said road. This taken in connection
with the act OF Congress granting pub
lie lands and the right of way to con-
etruct roads is sufficient in the opinion
of the Attorney General to justify the
company in constructing the said
bridge.
The Frankfng Privilege.
In consequence Of the abolishment OF
the fraukipg privilege, on the 18th OF
June next, the monthly reports of the

Judge Edwards Pierrpoint, OF New
York, to whom was rendered the Rus
sian Mission recently vacated by the
death OF Hon. James L. Orr, arrived
here on Sunday morning, and during
an interview with the President last
evening, stated that on account OF his
professional engagements he would be
unable 10 leave the country at present
without great injustice to his clients,
and would have to decline the profered
honor. The President expressed him
self as very sorry at the decision OF the
Judge. Mr.. PIerrpoint left here to-
night for New York, and will write q
ormal declination of the Mission.
Many rumors are afoat here as to
who will be the next man to whom the
Mission will be rendered. Many think

murderers, and there is not the slight
est doubt they will be recovered On
last Saturday the detectives were on
the trail of the Benders, with the ex-
pressed certainty of efIecting their
speedy capture, and it is more than
probable they are already taken. With
the number under arrest and the others
watched, no doubt some one will reveal
the whole truth, when Kansas will be
rid of the worst scoundrels that ever
infested and cursed this country.
