claims that the foundation of Plymouth
Church was effected TO protest against the
domination of Congregational ministers
which had excited profound indignation
among the members of the Congregational
Churches in the city of New York At the
time Plymouth Church has been governed
by majority of its members. while i'm
neither of the other two churches hss ever
been heard the voice of the brother
hood in open or called assembly.
The attitude of Clinton avenue and the
Church of Pilgrims in this controversy is
unwarrantable, and Plymouth Chuzch re-
fnses to receive any further documents
which are not accompanied by a proof of the
authority of the whole brotherhood OF the
Congregational churches, regularly AMI de-
hberately conferred, and they decline a any
case to receive from any church !etters
containing covert insiDuatlons against
the character of any of the member
OF the Plymouth Church. Plymouth Church
does not decline to join in calling a mutual
council, but will await less dubious invita-
ton. 1t claims that Plymouth Church can
make rules for its own government and still
remain Congregational, and declines TO
withdraw from the Congregational fellow
ship. This reply was adopted and ordered
to be signed by the chairman and members
of the committee, and forwarded to the Joint
committees of both churches.
MIR. Sherman then read the report of the
committee to whom was referred the pro-
test of Henry c. Bowen. This report vas to
the effect that the objections raised By Bowen
against the report of the examining COM
mittee were without foundation. AS he was
not tried, he could not claim an Official
notice OF the charge. He claimed that ne
had never thought of authorizing anything
which had the appearance of an apology.
The Committee made no such statement.
The report closed with resolution that the
protest and this report be placed upon the
records, which, with the report, was uaani-
mously adopted. Prof X. w. Raymond
moved that the action OF the last meeting. in
laying upon the table the statement OF Mr.
Holiday in regard to the Bowen matter, be
reconsidered. After a short discussion this
was adopted. Prof Raymond then O.tsred
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the report of the exlGin-
ing committee and the statement Of the
clerk of the church concerning the csss of
Brother Henry c. Bowen be entered upon
the minutes, and in view of the facts there
in set forth, the charges be dismissed and
the examining committee be discharged
from further consideration of the clse.
This called out considerable discussion
! in which Prot. Raymond, Mr.. White and
others participated. Mr.. West, who prafer-
red the charges against Mr.. Bowen original
ly, seized the opportunity TO volunteer a
personal explanation, but bis intended re-
marks were ruled out of order. The resolu-
ton was then adopted and the meeting ad-
Journed to Monday evening January =.

A TERRIBLE DEATH.

A FATAL CAT BITE-sIX MONTHS OF PoISo s,INo
ENDS IN HYDRoPHOBIA.
The New York Sun tells of the terrible
death of Mr.. James Raymond, in Brooklyn,
on Thursday morning: Six months ago,
while stroking the back of cat, the tresch-
erous creature suddenly turned and bit him
severely on the hand. The wound vas
dressed, and Mr.. Raymond experienced no
serious inconvenience from it until Iast
Tuesday. About noon of that day he be-
came sick. He discovered an obstruction in
his breathing and had severe pains n the
head. He sent for physician, who desiied
left lung, and prescribed for the patient with
that view. The next morning, however,
when the doctor called, Mr.. Raymond VAS
much worse, and his symptoms could not
be accounted for the hypothesis
OF congestion of the lungs. Inquiry
elected the fact about the cat bite, ard the
doctor was then satisfied that he had a case
OF hydrophobia to treat. This conclusion re-
ceived fearful confirmation about twelve
o'clock. Mr.. Raymond had then terrible
paroxysln, lasting mole than an hour, in
which he frOthed ct the mouth, expressed
the greatest horror of everything liquid, and
required the services of six strong men TO
prevent his harming himself or others. This
paroxysm was succeeded by others, none Of
which were so violent. At one time he
begged his attendants TO release him FOR a
few minutes, and as he was then compara-
lively quiet, they did so. He seized the op-
portunity to rush to closet where there was
a bottle of laudanum. He got the bottle into
his hands, but il was taken from him before
he could make any use of it. Six physicians
were with him on Wednesday evening and
night. They kept him inhaling chlorosorm
and injected morphine epidermically. This
treatment seemed to alleviate his sufferings,
and for two or three hours before life Was
extinct he was comparatively calm. After
midnight an Episcopal minister baptized
him and administered the sacrament, the
dying man being able TO make the proper
responses. His last moments were quite
peaceful. Shortly before he expired he said
that he would prefer death a thousand times
to the agony of another paroxysm. Mr.
Raymond had been married about two
years, and leaves young wife and child
He was twenty-five years and five months
old

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.
A special to the Chicago Tribune reviews
the action of the President in regard to tn e
resignation of Horace Porter in spirit of
scathing candor. There exists statute
passed few years ago providing as an act
of simple justice, that where an officer of
the army is thrown suddenly out of employ
ment, he be entitled to years salary.
When Gen. Horace Porter resigned his Office
at 81, 200 a year, it was only to accept the
Vice Presidency of the Pullman Car Com
pany at $4,000. But the President by a
strange perversion of the law allows his
favorite to draw a years salary, for which
he returns no equivalent whatever. The
President did not hesitate to favor him, as
he does not favor an army officer once in a
year, and at the expense of the public. If
Mr.. Grant had paid Porter $500 out of his
own pocket as a testimonial of his esteem
and in appreciation of his services in the
White House, it would have been well
enough. but when he applies the public
money 10 pay his little private testimonials,
the act is something very like what we look
for from President Grant, but it is indefen-
sible.
Again the Sergeant-at-arms of the House
is entitled by law to messenger at an an
nual salary of 81 $50. For some years Ord
way has had his sons name carried on the
rolls as holding the position, and has drawn
the salary for him with cheerful and healthy
regularity. During all of the time, how
ever, the boy has been attending college in
New England, and has rendered no official
service to the Sergeant alarms or any other
efficer of the House. The House paid last
year from the contingent fund for the use of
nine horses, for carriage and saddle pur-
poses, the sum of 800. The door-keeper
of the House, Otis S. Buxton, receives two
dollars and fifty cents a day for the use of a
carriage and horse, and two dollars q day
for the use of saddle horse all the year
round, whether Congress is IN session or
not. As both the animals are ted and cared
for at the Governments expense, the door
keeper is presumed to have pretty good
thing of it.
