NEW YORK, May pa letter from
London about the statement in the Times
of the obvious cause of the nOn-appearance
of the Duchess of Edin0urg az the Queens
arawing-room, and the announcement the
following morning that the statement was
in no way authorized by the Duke of Edin..
burg, says it was plain to everyone that
such an announcement as that in the
Times would not have been put forth by
the conductor of that journal on his own
responsibility. 1t must therefore be what
the French call a ''eommunique," and the
only question was by whom it could have
been sent. Public-opiniOn pointed at once
to the Queen, and public opinion continues
to regard Her Majesty as the author of the
statement, but for what purpose it was
made, unless to throw the public off the
scent OF question of precedence, is a ques-
ton no one can imagine. Both the Prince
Of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg are
exceedingly indignant at the whole affair.
An Example for Uncle Sam.
LONDON, May 29.-The correspondence
of the British Office arising out of the cap
ture of the Virginius and the subsequent
executions at Santiago de Cuba is officially
published. Ii contains dispatches of May
I, 1874, sent by the Earl of Derby
to Layard the British Minister at
Madrid, in which the former says: In view
of the grave difficulties of the Government
of Spain, her Majesty's Government has
hitherto been unwilling to press for an
answer to its demand for an acknowledge
ment of the wrong done, and for compen-
sation to the relatives of the victims, who
were subjects of Great Britain. We now
trust there will be no further delay on the
part of the Spanish Government.

PARIS, May 29.-The Roman Catholic
Pilgrims from the United States, who land
ed from the steamer Pereire, arrived in
this city yesterday and were received by
Monseigneur Guibert, Archbishop of Paris,
who delivered an allocution and gave them
his blessing. They departed this morning
for Rome, intending to visit the shrines at
Lourdes and Paray-le- MOnial on the way.
PARIS, May 20, P. Mt is said that
Prince HohenhOle, the new German Am
bassador, will request President Mcmahon
to prevent ultramontane demonstrations,
which tend to increase the bad feeling be-
tween France and Germany.
Several hundred pilgrims have left Mar
seilles for Paray-le-MOnial.
The American pilgrims did not leave
Parisito-day, as reported in private dis
patch. They will remain in the city until
Monday, and then proceed to Lourdes.

JUST as we were penning aparagraph
about the First American Pilgrims to
Rome, and expressing the hope that
they had not become victims of the
fatality which has lowered over French
steamers this season, their safe arrival
at Havre and Paris is announced.
They sailed from New York on the
10th, two weeks ago to-day, and the
slow voyage across the Atlantic is un-
explained. They have determined to
include in their route Paray-le-Mon
where the devotion to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus originated with Blessed"
Mary Margaret Alacocque. The visits
to this shrine and the Grotto of Lour-
des, will delay their arrival in Rome
till next week.

An Appeal from New Orleans Reaches
the Wrong Person.
New YORK, MAY 29.-Mayor Wilt, of
New Orleans, has addressed another urgent
appeal for aid to Mayor Havemeyer, in
which he says: "Will New York come to
the rescue of our destitute, ruined, famish-
ing people. A deadly famine in Louisiana
would be a national disgrace, which the
wealth of America must prevent at all
hszards.n
Commenting on the dispatch the Times
saws: ssIf Mayor Wilt desires help from
this city, he should address the Chamber
of Commerce, or anybody but Havemeyer.
That Individual has sunk so low in public
estimation that nobody is willing to trust
him in anything"
The Board of Aldermen by a decisive
vote having requested the Mayor TO sus-
pend and remove the police commissioners
for malfeasance in the administration of
two of the most important departments of
their office. the Tribune states that the pO-
lice commissioners cOmplacently assert that
assault upon them is the mereSt childs
play, inasmuch as the Mayor is their sworn
ally.
The Herald says of this police business:
The Mayor is not likely to heed the voice Of
the city as expressed through the common
council. His personal interests are too
much identified with dumping and election
irregularities to render it probable that he
will pay any attention to the aldermen.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, May Z9.-On motion OF
Mr.. Dawes it was ordered that tomorrow
being Decoration day there all be no ses-
sion of the House.
Mr.. Orth, from the Committee on For
eign Affairs, reported adversely on bill for
the relief of the widow of the late Jas. l..
Orr, late Minister to Russia. On motion of
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, the bill was
placed on the private calendar.
Army Reduction.
The House then took up the bill for the
gradual reduction Of the army, and was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Hurlbut in opposition to it.
He denied the expediency or economy Of
the measure. Things were done under the
idea of false economy that were most dis
graceful to the country, and this was one
of them. He recollected that lugubriOus
afternoon a few months ago when the
Chairman of the Committee on WAYS and
Means gave melancholy picture of the
finances of the country, when that gentle
man was the undertaken and chief mOurner
of the funeral of the National credit, and a
yet few days ago that same gentleman had
informed the House that the country was
able to carry out all its obligations.
Mr.. Dawes-If the gentleman under
stood me as ever saying that the country
was unwilling todischarge every obligation
it ever made, he totally misunderstood
me.
Mr.. Hurlbut-I have not time to turn
away from the matter before the House, to
make a side issue with the gentleman from
Massachusetts,. The question now before
the House is whether or not il shall pass it,
a bill that will break up not only the or
ganization Of the army, but the spirit OF the
army.
l speak not for the staff department but
for the fighting branch Of the army. The
staff corps exists because the army exists.
| This Is not a question between regulars
and volunteers. 1t is, however, a question
of good faith with the men, with whom
the Government has pledged its faith, and
said if they should GO into the army and dc
their duty there, they would be kept in the
service so long as they were fit, and when
| incapacitated for service the Government
would not desert them in their old age. HI
then proceeded to criticise the provisions o
the bill in detail, and in conclusion ap
pealed TO the House to do justice to those
brave
Hard.WOrkins Men
of the army, not to crIt off at single blow
such a number of effective men, and cas-
them adrift ON the world for which theil
profession untitled them.
Mr.. Hawley, of Illinois, member Of tn
Committee on Military Affairs, spoke il
support of the bill. There were NAM
things which did not meet his entire ap
proval, but as a whole he approved anC
supported it. The people are not in favO
of large standing army, but of so mucl
as is necessary. He himself was of tn
same opinion. He would not consent tC
reduce the army to such degree as migh
endanger any interest of the country. Th'
House would not do its whole duty if
failed to sustain and pass the bill.
The House then proceeded TO yote on tn
| bill and amendments.
Mr.. Coburn offered an amendment as
new section repeating the new law prohib

Northern Relations.

The topic for to-day is our relations to
the Northern Assembly. Three PROPOSE
tions are pending: the first, presented by
DR.. ]. L. kirkpatrick, to appoint an unin-
structed committee to confer with the
Northern committee, not on the subject Of
organic union, but friendly relations; the
second, by Rev. j. W. Hoyt, declining to
appoint committee, but stating our readi-
ness to receive and send fraternal del
egates; the third, by Judge Fentress,
refusing correspondence or conference until
the Northern Assembly shall explicitly re-
scind its action concerning US.
The sentiment of the Assembly IS largely
in favor of the first. The debate has con-
tinued all day and a vote will be taken to-
night,

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN.
The ColumbI. rheologieaI seminar

The Columbia Theological Seminary.
COLUMBUS, Miss, May 29.-The subject
Of absorbing interest in the Assembly for
the past three days has been the question
Of the rule adopted by the faculty of the
Seminary at Columbia, 5. c., requiring the
attendance of Divinity students upon the
preaching al the chapel Sabbath morning.
This rule was enacted last Janua-
~, and many Of the students felt
that it infringed upon their
Christian liberty, and that they ought to
have the privilege Of worshipping God on
the Lords Day at the Presbyterian Church
in Columbia. Seven students were dis
missed and the others submitted. The
subject comes up in review of the proceed
ings of the Seminary. The debate has
been earnest and spirited, turning on the
paper of Col. Collier recommending that
hereafter attendance upon these services in
the chapel on Sabbath morning be volun-
tary on the part of the students and faculty.
Rev. J. W. Pratt offered the following as
a substitute: While the General Assembly
refrains from expressing an opinion respect
ing the original intention of the trainers of
the constitution and refuses to reflect upon
the past course, either Of the professors or
students respecting attendance upon chapel
services on the Sabbath. 1t interprets the
constitution of the Theological Seminary at
Columbia as remitting the entire discipline
of the seminary to the faculty of the
seminary, and tha. the students are under
their pastoral and imperative control, sub
iect to the review of the General Assembly.
The points made on one side were the
right of conscience to worship God, and on
the other side that the authority Of the
faculty and directors must be upheld. A
test vote was reached, when Pratt's substi-
tute was rejected and Col. Golfers amend
ment was adopted, and incorporated in the
report of the Seminary and the report was
adopted. The speakers in favor Of liberty
of conscience, were WitherspOOn, Pluner,
Caldwell, Wilson, and for continuing the
rule, J. W. Pratt, j. S. kirkpatrick, X. Fer

DWELLING HOUSE BURNT: pes re-
gret to announce the destruction by fire
of the residence Of Mr.. J. ii. Walker
three miles from our town on N.
Wednesday morning last. Mr.. Walker
and family had been attending religious
services here, ON the previous evening,
and returned home about II o'6lock at
night, and were reused from their beds
just before daylight by the approach OF
the flames. The fire originated in the
kitchen attached to the room in which
the family slept, and its progress was so
rapid, after being discovered, that itwas
impossible to save the house, and only
practicable to save part of the bedding,
clothing and furniture. The house was
a new one, and only partially finished,
and withpit was destroyed quantity OF
building material. The loss is very
serious one, involving not only the resi-
dence, but large portion of the wearing
apparel and furniture. The fire is sup
posed to have been accidental, s-" j
( Mr., Walker is one ofour best citizens,
and his sudden and severe loss appealed
50 strongly to the sympathies of our
community, that purse of several hun
,lred dollars was soon raised to aid him
in the work of restoration. His card OF
thanks appears in another column.
