On the 21st of July conference of the
committee of all of the Presbyterian Churches
in the world meets at London to brihg about
a general union. There are now forty.eight
Independent churches claiming the name
Presbyterian, holding the same religious doc
trine and ecclesiastical polity, but differing
on the question of state patronage and minor
matters regarding the manner Of public wor-
ship. They all subscribe to the Westmins-
ter Confession or to the Heidelberg Cate
chism, which is substantially the same. The
Church Of Scotland is the mother church.
the question of state patronage, resulting in
the Reformed Presbyterian Church, the
United Presbyterian Church, and the Free
Church of Scotland, The Presbyterian
Church of Ireland is an offshoot of the Scotch
and the English Presbyterian Church of the
Free Church. In the United States the chief
body is the General Assembly. At the begin
ming of the war the Southern wing seeded and
formed the P resbyterian Church. The United
Presbyterian Church sprang from the seeded
churches in Europe. The Reformed Presby-
terians are from those Of the same name in
Scotland. The Reformed Church in America,
formerly known as the Dutch Reformed,
came from Holland and holds by the Heidel-
berg Catechism. In Canada the divisions of
the old country are kept up. These branches
purpose to form confederation, holding to
the same creed but permitting to each body
the regulation of its internal order and disci-

insolVent. The trustees of bondbolders were
then sued on the ground that the trustees,
through tue lndenture, were responsible for ev-
cry contract entered into by the corpOration.
The court rejected this claim on the ground
that contractor had no right 10 law to recover
from trustees.
THE ELGEE COTTON CASES DECIDED.
In the socalled Elgee cotton cases, appealed
from the court of claims, Justice Strong de-
livered very elaborate and important opinion
on the question OF when the title passes in sales
of personal property, affirming the English
doctrine as distinct from that held in New
York and some other states, and deciding that
the sale in the present case was onlyau execu-
tory contract and did not pass the title, aud so
reversed the judgment below. Justices Hunt
and Bradley dissented. This case involved up
wards of $360,000, now in the treasury and
which, it is now decided, belongs to the execu'
tors of Egee. General b ltler was counsel for
one OF the losing parties.
CoNsTITUTIoNALTTY OF RAILROAD TAXES.
The Supreme Court Monday decided the
case of the State of Maryland against the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company. The
state claimed a deferred payment of $500 as
due for the period between 18601S70, being one
fifth of the amount OF passenger fare over the
Washington and Baltimore branch of the road.
The company refused to pay the amount to the
state, on tue plea that the tax was uncOnsti-
tutional. This the court of appeals of Mary
land overruled, affirming the right of the state
to the money in question, which decision OF the
court of appeals has been affirmed by the Su-
preme Court.
THE NEW ORLEANS PRIZE MONEY.
The case of the United States VS.. Farragut
ct al, an appeal from the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia, was decided by the
Supreme Court Monday. This is the case OF
the commanding officers of the feet engaged
in the capture of New Orleans, to recover
prize money and salvage. The court sustained
the decree entered below, based ON the finding
of the arbitrators, that the capture was the
achievement of the fleet, and not joint opera
tion of the army an1 navy, and that the value
OF the captured vessels is to be computed in the
distribution, as well as those which were sub
sequently restored to the loyal owners, from
whom they had been captured by the enemy
as those which were condemned as prizes.
The item of military salvage, computed at ten
per cent. on the value of the restored vessels,
Is dsallowed, and the rest of the decree is
affirmed, the court holding that they could not
review the case ON facts OF an appeal from the
decision of the arbitrators, there being no ale
cations of fraud or other sufficient grounds for
a revision. Justice Miller delivered the
oninion

The Holy lnkStand.

To Mr.. Parke Goodwin we owe the sug-
gestion of a new order of merit, Which he
introduced to the notice of the world at the
Schurz banquet in New York the other day.
He calls it ''The knights of the Holy Order
of the Inkstand." Mr.. Goodwin, perhaps
for lack of time, but probably because his
plans OF organization were not perfected, did
not go into particulars, but contented him
self with stating, what indeed the title sug-
gests, that the membership is to be confined
to literary men.
1t is fairly presumabe however that the
new order is divided into classes, and that
some sort of badge will be worn. Very likely
the highest honor will be the grand inkstand
1t is not probable that relative rank will be
indicated by the size of the badge, for in that
case authors of eminence would be forced to
wear cumbrous and unduly conspicuous or
naments upon the breasts of their coats. The
decoration of course will be an inkstand, and
standing in the order can perhaps be better
indicated by the material of the decoration
than in any other way. The title "Grand
Scrivener of the Golden Inkstand," would be
impressive and would indicate the royal quail
ity of the writings contributed by the bearer
to the stock Of literature. The title Scriven
er, without the prefix Grand would signify a
less degree of merit. The Silver Inkstand,
though not of so high value, would be deco
ration worth striving for. Some authors, whose
writings are delicate in spirit and finished in
form, but lack that intrinsic merit which
commands blazon of royal metal, might be
proud to wear an inkstand fashioned from
fine porcelain. There are those, one or two
in an age, whose badges should be wrought
by some cunning artifcer from amountain OF
light like the Kohinoor.
Below the ranks of Grand Scrivener and
Scrivener should be that of Little Scrivener.
The badges of this degree should be inexpen-
sive. In many cases lead would be the ap-
propriate material. In some instances OF
feeting popularity the baser metal used
might be electroplated. There are authors
whose claims rest upon the quantity rather
than the quality of their work. In these in-
stances an exception might be made, and
their feeundity recognized by the size of the
badge. The material should be ''tin," met
al for which they are eagerly seeking.
If by possibility newspaper man is ad-
mitted to this honorable assemblage his ink
stand would naturally be fashioned from
plumbago.
