We learn from late copy Of the London Times
that the stock Of grain and -four in Great Britain
and France is very limited, being much smaller
than ever known before. This will be happy
news to shippers, who will expect an active mar
ket at the opening of navigation in the rivers and
harboTs along the coast. There are engagements
for large shipments already entered into, but it
will take q vast quantity of grain and -four to
supply the demand.

AIExANpR1A. Jan. 2z-There is no change in
the commercial aspect OF the city. The river IS
blocksded, and opposite this city was, early this
morning, as tightly closed as IL has been this
winter, for the melting Of yesterday was equal
lied by the freezing Of last night. From Fort
Washington, however, down to the mouth Of the
river, stated yesterday, the Ice is reported to
be running, and She indications that the solid
sheet upon which the residents of this city have
been looking for so long will commence to moyo
of before many days. The agent of the Norfolk
and Philadelphia line Of steamers in this city
ceiyed information this morning that the steamer
Lady Of the Lake and the steamship q. H. Stout,
which have been detained in Washington by the
blockade would leave there to-day for this port,
the former on her way to Norfolk, but the latter
! to remain here until navigation is freely open
1t is reported that the schooner Walter Jones,
heretofore reported ashore at Maryland Point,
has gotten OF and proceeded to Baltimore. The
New York steamer L. O. Knight, heretofore re-
| ported at Quan.ico, came up aS high as tho
| White House yesterday, but went back last
night. Her captain, who has arrived here, says
she will come up as soon as the Lady of the Lake
goes down. The steamer Lady Of the Lake ar
rived here this afternoon from Washington and
proceeded on her way to Norfolk, and the steam
ship G. H. Stout also arrived here from the same
city, and went into dock.
GEORGETOWN, Jan. T.-The markets are IN
changed. There is some probability that the en-
terprise in the manu- iacture Of Hour Will suder q
decline for awhile, owing to the dizziness Of tho
-four market elsewhere and the high rate Of the
present means Of transportation, the river being
rendered useless by ice. These causes have con-
spired to leave an insufficient margin between
wheat and flour. One mill has already suspended
operations not caring to manufacture STOCK Tor

THE. ISSUE JOINED.

The Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,. as will be seen from the extract
of its proceedings published else
where, does not hesitate to take bold
ground in the war Of the Romanists
on our Public Schools. This issue
which the Catholics are pressing upon
the country can not be evaded. Re-
ligious associations, political conven-
tons, newspapers and politicians
must all define their position. The
destruction of our common school
system means the surrender of q
Republican form of Government to q
hierarchy. The first objection to the
schools urged by Catholics was that
the Protestant Bible was read in
them. They object to being taxed to
support schools wherein a version of
the Bible, different from theirs, was
read. But the insincerity of this
objection is illustrated by the position
of Archbishop Purcell and his associ
ates in Cincinnati. There the School
Board excluded the Bible from the
schools on the ground that it was not
part of the education WHICH the
schools were required to furnish. But
even with the Bible out of the schools
they were not satisfied. They went
one step farther and said that schools
without the Bible were worse
than schools with it. They wanted
religion taught in the schools, not the
protestant religion, but the religion
taught by the priests and Pope. They
wanted a religion taught that would
inculcate Infallibility and superior al
legiance to the Church. Therefore
they now demand a. decision of the
school fund. This is effectually q de
mand for the destruction of our pub
lie schools. The issue must be me
and the people expect the press t.
speak out. The great Presbyterian
Church, one of the wealthiest, mos
intelligent and patriotic religious OF
CARNATIONS of the country speaks il
no uncertain sound. The people hav
taken their stand and the issue mus
everywhere be met.

Decrease of Taxation in New York

The Albany Argus makes statement
which is creditable to the ruling party in
that State, and one which must prove
gratifying to taxpayers. 1t says the
amount Of tax which the people of that
State are called upon TO pay this year is
three million fine hundred thousand dol
lars less than the tax OF last year. Last
year the rate was Il mills, realizing an
aggregate of sl5, 900. This year the
rate is 81 mills, realizing an aggregate of
sl2,3l4,0O0. 1t is possible that this sum

which did not occur. Then Porter,
after grotesquely reading, proceeded to
analyze Tilton's letter about Christ as
"A married man, which he declared
blasphemous. He turned aside for
moment to deliver a romantic puff of
the aged wife of the defendant. Judge
Nelson was visibly affected by the
thrilling tones and rolling eyes of the
speaker. Then after working over a
little of Elizabeth, he took up that part
of the evidence which IL was his busi-
ness to review. He showed why Til
ton and MGulton had selected the 10th
and 18th of October rs the only speciS
fic days on which Beecher should be
charged with adultery, and how the
scheme was concocted at the instiga-
ton of that devil whom Tilton has de-
throned. Porter thus dissected and
applied the testimony of Bessie Tur
ner, whose name had been outraged b,
Tilton, but who is
A WOMAN OF SUPERB BEAUTY
And gigantic intellect, whom Tito
was unable to debauch, who was lii
Lena with her milk-white lamb, al
who had proved more than a mat
for the most brilliant cross-examiT
in America. Bessie Turner, who v
present in Court, doubtless eDiot
this heavy puff.
! Porter opened the afternoon sesn
by paying attention to
ELIzABETH's DAsTARDLY BRoTTR,
RICHARDS,
And next followed on the wiess
Martin, who was described as tide
graded spy of Tilton, He then ge
marked description of the bresast-
table interview between Tito and
| his wife, and of Tilton's subsuent
rumpus with Bessie Turner.
The whole thing, as workout by
Porter, was absurdly over-cOlou ana
long winded. Porter took occlon 10
address an intense appeal to e jury,
fairly shrieking as he called llltoh
to rise up and point out the Jor VINO
could be befoOled by his fsehoods.
Is it for such a man [pointg to III
ton, and gazing at the jury his most
CHASTITY style]-is ii for such man you
are called in TO give
a FALSE VERDICT AGAINs A MINIS
TER OF GOD?
For Tilton-this hollow, -eacherous,
false coward Porter's ioice here
broke, but as soon as i recovered
himselfhe told the jury tpt their YER
dict should be that of acAittal before
leaving their seats. Portr spent near
ly the whole afternoon q reading ana
commenting upon Besss Turner's tes-
timony, all Of which yas done WIN
peculiar FEASIBILITY ah rancor as ne
dwelt on the assured truthiulness OF
her evidence in contrast with the pals
pably falsehood of rflton's. But in
the last fifteen minutes he took up old
Bowen and this estimony, going
through him and it highly satiri-
cal and relishable way, and pitting
Bowen against Tilpn. Again he be-
came fierce. Oncemore he turned pa
thetic, and therepon we reached the
close OF the secoid day of our first
speech on the summing up.
