graduates the members that the rather doubtful
experiment OF establishing the college has be-
come permanent success. Located at the seat

spects being unsurpassed, Il behoOves the men,
bers to extend its influence and usefulness. The
class Of last session numbered about thirty, and

TRINITY CHAPEL, ARLINGTON.

COMBINATION BY Bishop Johns, Of Virginia.
Trinity chapel, which is situated on the Colum.
bia turnpike, about two miles from Fort Runyon,
was crowded on Sunday afternoon to its utmost
capacity to witness the order of confirmation by
Bishop Johns. Shortly after 3 o'clock. and be-
fore the arrival Of the bishop, every seat in the
church was occupied. The bishop arrived about
$3.50 o'clock, together with Mr.. H. Lee one of the
students from Fairfax Theological Seminary
who Immediately commenced the regular services;
after which the bishop read portion Of the tenth
chapter OF Matthew, and delivered q most i'm
pressive discourse on the necessity for baptism,
and explained the order Of confirmation as q rite
practiced in the Church, by which baptized per-
sons were admitted to the full privileges Of the
Church, and regarded as supplemental to bap-
tism, called confirmation because those who re-
ceiye 1t are strengthened for the tuIfllment of
their Christian duties by the grace therein be-
slowed upon them. The candidates were then
placed before the bishop, and after propOunding
certain questions and receiving satisfactory re-
plies, he proceeded with the ceremony of "layInR
on Of hands" and concluded by saying: 1.-THE
blessing Of God Almighty, the Father, the Son
and Holy Ghost be upon you, and remain with
you forever"
The church was built under the auspices of the
young students from the Fairfax Theological
Seminary, the ground having been donated BY
John X. Johnston, esq. The church was opened
fer public worship on the l4th of February and Is
very neat little building, capable Of seating
about 500 persons.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 5, 1875.
An advertisement appeared in the last issue Of
the Sunday Herald, signed ]. S. Barker in
which he asserts in substance that the Independ-
ent Ice Company is IN appendage to, or q part of,
the Great Falls Ice Company, and is kept up and

with the Great Falls Ice Company, but as q part

emit Ice Company, / pronounce that assertion
false, and that It was known to Mr.. Barker to be
false when he published 1t.

the State OF Maryland and, am informed, has
large number Of stockholders, while the hide

am Informed that Mr.. Barker endesvored to
make the same arrangement, but from the fact
that he had housed ice from the rfver nearly In

Not the Other Moody, at All.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: A gentleman, who was aware Of my close
intimacy Tor many years with the two Moodys,
called my attention to-day to an article in yes
terdsy's Washington Sunday paper, in which the
Rev. Granville (Colonel) Moody is pretty Sc
Verely criticised. The critic intended It as flag
citation for the great American.revtTalist now IN
England. Won't you please say In your next
issue, land let all papers which love truth and
fair play copy all over the World,) that Mr.. u. l.
Moody, the great evangelist, never was colonel
in any army, nor did he ever since bis conversion
when boy, enlist In any army, North or South,
except as soldier Of the cross1 He volunteered
his services as q delegate Of the Christian coz
mission during the war, and to my certain knoWl-
edge be, in that capacity, trested Southern men
as well as Northern men with all the kindness In
his power.
d. L. Moody is, however, Of such worldwide
fame now that need only repeat concerning him
that he is the veritable and successful evangelist
now at null work in London England. and not the
great soldier, Col. Granville, Moody, Of Ctncin-
natl. Yours, very truly,
p. S.-Rev. Granville Moody, ID. D., II aroused
so as TO think it worth while to lay his hand on
his eriticser, would indeed be found giant either
in policsl, theological, or almost any and every
signiieation Of the term. Pity the poor fellow
coming in contact with him. 7. A.

ARREST OF THE CoUNTERFE1rERs.
A Statement of the Facts.

AsWe publish this morning the very latest and
by far the most important news concerning the
late haul of counterfeiters in Texas, very brief
review Of their antecedents is dpropos The head
Of the gang, Pete Mccartney, With Rankin,
Rogers, Moore and Rittenhouse were arrested
last January in st, Louis, and on the I'd Of Feb.
ruary following they all broke jail and escaped.
Inasmueh as the st. Louis jail is regarded as
perhaps the safest and strongest one in the
country, an investigation led to the disclosure of
the fact that the guards had been bribed to let
them ont, and they are now In prison awaiting
trial for that offence.
The escaped gang were all rearrested at Dallas
Texas, on the Sd instant having been traced there
BY officers specially detailed for the service BY
Major Washburne, chief Of the United States Sc
cret service. The captured S20-plate was en-.
graved BY Pete Mccartney, and so skillfully that
counteTfeits printed thereon have readily passed
in every State Of the Union. Hundreds and hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars have been printed
this plate, and there is now In the chiefs ONCE
more than $4,000 OF S2O's which were printed on
IT. With the plate press was captured and
large quantity OF counterfeit money. Pete Nc
CARNEY in the estimation Of those best qualified
to Judge, has been the means Of sending more
than two hundred persons to jail, arrested as
dealers and showers. He, himself, has been under
arrest several times, but he has always managed
in some way to elude punishment. He broke out
Of the Louisville jail some two years ago. Hewas
also the engraver Of the Chicago Traders hves
very celebrated counterfeit. Since the capture Of
Tom Ballard, this is the severest blow the coun-
terteiters have yet received.
