A correspondent sets in a clearer light the action
of the recent General Synod of the Reformed Church
in regard to union with other churches; more
particularly with the North and South divisions OF
the Presbyterian Church. 1t appears from this that
the Southern Church had only asked for closer rea-
tions with the Reformed Church; the Northern
Church had proposed organic union. The scheme
of intimate cooperative alliance with the Southern
Church was adopted by the Synod, and similar
scheme is offered by the Synod to the Northern
Church; but the proposed organic union with the
latter was lost by vote of 80 to 90, and the commit
tee was instructed to to confer on the subject
There is no WANT of expression OF sympathy win
the Northern Church; Oh the contrary there Is tne
desire for closer fellowship in good works; but the
prospect of union which shall sweep away the
dividing line between the Presbyterians and the Re
formed Church. is by this action indefinitely post
pOned.

The Annual Reports Of the Trustees OF tho Cooper

The House Judiciary Committee have in
structed their Chairman to use every effort to
pass the Senate Civil Rights bill now on the
Speakers table, and if that cannot be done, to
report the Committees bill and secure its
passage. Which means that this is the last
week of the session, and that all the political
capital that can possibly be made out of a
feigned attempt to pass Civil Rights bill is to
be secured. But it will not be passed. MIR.
Butler has it in hand, and he manages such
matters very deftly.

DEATH of FILLMORE.

Ex-President Willard Fillmore died
in Buffalo, n. Y, last Monday morn
ing, of paralysis. This is a shock to
the whole country, for there were few
better, purer men than he. He was
thirteenth President of the United
States. He was born in Cayuga coun-
ty, New York, January Z, 1900; COM
menced the study of the law in 1919,
andspracticed the profession with sue
cess until 1897, when he was elected
Comptroller of the State. He went
to Congress in 1882, and was a member
until 1913. In 1913 he was elected
Vice President, with Gen. Taylor as
President. The death of Gen. Taylor
made Mr.. Fillmore President Of the
United States on the 10th Of July,
1S49. His administration was charac-
terized by wisdom, prudence and con-
servatism. He retired from the Presi-
dency the 4th of March, 1853, with no
faint attached to his name and no stain
to disfgure his reputation. In manli-
ness of form, says the Memphis Appeal,
in well-proportioned stature, limbs and
bulk, in fine frontal development, in
intelligent and benevolent physiogno-
my, and in ease, grace and kindliness
of manner, Mr. Fillmore was perfect
model. Goodness and amiability seem
ed to pervade his heart and emanate
from his countenance, and they GER
tainly found utterance in the gentle
tones of his musical voice. He was
an honest politician and statesman,
high above trickery, intrigue and de-
ception, always acting with single eye
and a single heart to his countTy's good.
he was a good man; Just while he was
generous. He was ambitious without
selfshness, consistent without Obstinacy,
dignifed without haughtiness, and &c.
NAL in his bearing to all, without ia.
miliarity to any. The people Of the
Southern States will hear with honest
sorrow Of Mr.. Fillmore's death. How.
ever many may have differed with him
in politics, all must agree that as Pres
ident of the United States Mr.. Fillmore
was the earnest, unyielding and con,
sistent friend of the South; that he
condemned the war that was made up
on her constitutional rights, and that
since the war he has done everything
in his power to alleviate her troubles
and mitigate her suffering.

Mysteries OF a Mountain Carrrn

John McCorgurdal, a pro=pector,
came in yesterday evening and report
ed a most wonderful discovery in the
Aquarious mountains. We give his
story; believing it to he true. lie has

At a point twenty-five miles from this
place, and in passing up canyon he
noticed the formation az being peculiar
and showing signs Of recent travel.
On his return through the same canyon
he found Il fresh living stream running
down the middle Of the gorge, which
had evidently been opened b. the shock
Of an earthquake or BY the heavy rain
bursting out from some underground
passage On following the spring to
Is source he found fssuro in the
rocks, cut Of which the stream seemed
to come. Providing himself with
torches, he forced himself through
the fissure, waGing the stream for one
hundred yards, when he came to an I'M
mense cave or cavern. Here ne found
old mining relics, such as picks, shovels,
etc, made out Of stone and copper. On
one side he found what he considered
to he tonhstones, with numerous tab
lets and hieroglyph;c pictures and writ
inca. One Of these tablets, made of
copper, he tore off and brought with
him. 1t hears the inscription. "sit tibi

stone box, which he broke open and
found some very ancient coins. On
some of them the word ''Pszz0" can be
plainly made ont. Another tablet,
/ bears the inscription: "JuTtn inire M
ros." He 2lso found a scabbard, richly
embroidered and having a coat Of arms
of solid gold, set with precious stones.

people living there at some previous
time, and that they excel.cd in mining
and some art beyond a doubt. He al-o
carried away other valuable articles
which Medicines to exhibit. He goes to
San Francisco Immediately, where he
will exhibit his curiositie5 ard make
arrangements to come back soon and
thoroughly explore the entire cave and
the mountains of the vicinity. 1t is
the opinion here that there Is immense
wealth buried some place in the cave.
Many men are fitting out to make a
search for the cave themselves. Nc

PhiInicinhin's Biz SHOW.

The Philadelphia newspapers talk
about nothing but the Centennial. Says
the Press:
"No one can fail to BE impressed
by the simple grandeur by which real
ly great historical enterprise like the
centennial rises above the din and con-
fusion that often fills the atmosphere
of this lower world Of ours The
Philadelp iiians have already begun to
talk about building immense new hO-
tells, widening streets and making eve
rything get out of the way for the great
event. They say that the crowned
heads of Europe and the manufactur-
cas- and traders all over the world are
looking upon the preparations with the
intensest interest, every item pertain
ing TO them is copied by the foreign
/ papers, all the exhibitors at Vienna are
/ going to Philadelphia, and even the
Pope has pronounced his benediction
on the enterprise. Ii is proposed to
celebrate the Fourth by a parade of
troops, embracing a regiment or two
from elch State, exhibitions of civil
societies and performances by an i'm
menSe orchestra. Statues Of distin-
guished Americans viii also be exhibit
ed. Ii is further proposed to solicit an
act by Congress authorizing the Presi-
dent to invite European and Asiatic
( Sovereigns TO be present with small de-
tachments of troops, while the regular
army Is to be represented by body Of
troops under the command of distin-
guished officers, and the navy by as
many vessels as possible"

bowed in habitual reverence, and to
trace upon her stolid countenance
the look Of hypocrisy would lie difficult
for one not acquainted with her call
ing. She has grown quite old, and is
failing fast in health, as Is also her
husband, who is the principal male
leader of the sect, with his wife's as
sistance By means of the faith plac-
ed in Mrs. White, the vast property
which we have described has mostly
been accumulated, Whether from
faith or duplicity, wealthy people
have been induced TO move to Battle
Creek, whsoe riches are soon eked out
in support of the church. When all
property is gone, q message from the
lord induces the brother TO move 10
other parts, which is only to make
room for the new conner in their midst.
Thus there is a continual change ofele-
ment, and thus, too, the danger of mu-
tinous charges against the saints are
precluded. For when a brother, no
matter how important his position, be-
comes conversant with the working of
the church, he invariably yields his
place to another An mbroken faith
and Difference, however, IS accorded
Mr.. and Mrs. White, whose positions
in the church are alone permanent.
At the worlds conference, held in
Battle Creek recently, a committee was
appointed to induce proper persons
to come to that city, az we have describ-
ed. Men of more than ordinary talent
accept the protfered terms probably
with or without conscientious motives),
but seldom are they allowed to remain
longer than property will permit. AT
each conference lauding resolutions of
the genuireness of Mrs. Whites visions
are passed, and thus is bolstered up
what may readily be deemed most
successful fraud.
In their worldly dealings they are
invariably honest but very close.
Their religious schemes seem to be a
growth of ordinary human hypocrisy
from which larger denominations are
not always exempt. There is 10 free
dom in the church; all Is arbitrary and
exacting; and though there may be
enough sincere followers Of Mrs. White
TO comprise q creditablc religious sect,
We are 10th to believe the leader.

sage from the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I'm SIew of the Sad Event.
IN THE SENATE.


I'm View Of the Sad Event.
IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Senator
Fenton said that intelligence of the
death of Ex-President Fillmore had
been received, and though it might not
be the time now 10 make suitable re-
marks, he thought it appropriate that
the Senate should adjourn in respect to
the memory Of the illustrious dead; he
therefore moved that the Senate adj
joun.
Senator Sherman inquired what pre-
cedent there was for such action, and,
though he was willing to follow the es-
tablished precedent, he did not think
the example a wise one. He enter
tanned every respect for Ex-President
Fillmore and his public services, and
would yield to no one in doing honor to
his memory.
Senator Blair said the Senate adj
journed upon the death Of Ex-President
Buchanan.
Senator Anthony said Congress ad-
iourned upon the death of General
Washington, and it WAS upon that occa-
sion that the phrase "First in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts Of his
countrymen," was uttered.
Senator Fenton's motion was agreed
to and the Senate adjourned.
II TIE HOUSE.
Mr.. Dawes announced the death Of
Ex-President Fillmore, ard said that
the death of a man who had held such

event.

luton:
