S2O0OOO00 worth Of bonds represented.
Tho plan of foreclosure, sale and reOr-
ganizAtion which was proposed some
time ago by the committee Of which Mr..
Johnston Livingston is tho chairman was
discussed, and, after some consideration,
was adOpted-not, however, until II had
been amended as follows:
FTra-Under the reorganization the
committee shall have no voting power

A JERSEY PREsBYTERY 1NSULTED.-Iester-
day the Presbytery of Newark met at the
Third Presbyterian church in that city. Rev.
DR.. Wilson, of the committee appointed to
consider the overture of the General Assem-
bly, for change in the office of the eldersbip,
read long report opposing the proposed
change on the ground that the elder was a
representative of Christ, and should hold Of
flee not subject to the mere changing will of
the people. No definite action was taken on
the report. A decided sensation was occa.
stoned by the reading of communication
from Rev. Isaac 8. Tenbroeck stating that
be had retired from the PRESBYTERIAN
Church and joined the Baptists. His rea.
son was that he found it impossible to accept
the Presbyterian baptism as sacrament, and
pretty broadly intimated his opinion that the
Presbyterians themselves did not believe IN
what they protessed. 1t seems that Ten
brock is young colored man, who was ed,
ucated a. the expense of the Presbytery. and
had lust been licensed to preach with view
to his being sent South as missionary among
people of his OWE race. EXasperated at his
base ingratitude the Presbytery ordered bis

tricidal war between the North and the

tai of the Old Dominion, on the eve Of
tue centennial celebration of our country's
independence, may, We trust, be the harbinger
of peaceful rtifnion Of every section IN the
enduring bonds Of Christian fellowship and
love. Let us "reuuite in the cordial bonds
of one harmonious brotherhood" Nothing
can do more to revive our former devotion
to the UnoA Of our fathers and to strengthen
the bonds Of affection between the North
and the South, the East and the West, than
the cooperation of every Christian in the OBJ
jects Of this convention. We meet in tie
name of the Prince Of Peace to take sweet
counsel together in regard to the welfare Of
His Church. All who are interested in these
objects are cordially invited to meet with US

TRADE OF RIcuM M)ND.-We are glad to
learn from our exchanges and from country
merchants just returned from buying their
stocks that the wholesale trade OF Richmond
has been larger this spring than for several
seasons, and that that city seems to be in a
fair way to recover much of the business
which contributed largely to her prosperity
in former years, but which since the war has
been attracted to New York and Baltimore.
Very many of the country merchants OF Vlr.
ginia and North Carolina who for several
years past have been purchasing their goods
chiefly in northern market have this spring
laid in their supplies in Richmond. We are
glad 10 know this. If the retail trade can DE ac-
commodated on as good terms in one Of our
own cities as elseWhere-and we see no rea-
son why it cannot be--it is obviously to the
advantage of the buyer as well as the seller
that the home market shall be encouraged
and built up. In many ways reciprocal adj
yantaees ensue from the maintenance of
home trade, which unretlectiDg persons are
not apt TO consider. In the first place, the
growth of q city or town in commerce and
manufacturing interests, and the consequent
increase of population, make q larger local
market for the purchase and consumption OF
everything that is produced upon the farms,
or in the dairy, or in the poultry yard. Great
and flourishing cities contribute to enrich
the country that trades with them, just rs the
productive country in turn helps to make
and sustain centres Of commerce.
In the next place, the increase OF trade,
upon which icense.taX paid, and the aug
mentatiou of the aggregate value OF real and
personal property which always follows the
commercial prosperity Of cities, brings in an
increased revenue to the State from the tax
upon the business and property Of the cities,
and to that extent may ease the burden upon
the tax payers of the country. If, for Illus
tration, Richmond could be swelled to the
proportions of Baltimore, or even Louisville,
her taxable values would be so much ln-
creased that without adding one cent to the
present tax upon country property the reVe.
uues Of the State would be sufficient to meet
all the expenses Of government, together with
full! interest upon the public debt, and we
should hear no more Of this noisy fanfaronade
of Reputation. Such consummation is de-
youtly to be wished. Our hope is that by
the augmenting commerce and population of
her towns and cities, as well as by the thrift
and prosperity of the agricultural classes, the
State may grow beyond her financial en-
barrassments, and that with her wealth and
POPULATION doubled she may carry without
Inconvenience the burden which she now
sbriuks from, just as the grown man bears
easily the load under which the boy stag.
gers. Even now Richmond pays onc-eishth
of all the revenue Of the State; so that if the
taxable values of that city alone could be
trebled the finances Of the Commonwealth
would be placed upon sound basis without
dollars increase anywhere else.-DanUille

portant subject to this community than in
ternal taxation; and that currency is also
one of vital interest to our people. He
thought that the present national currency
was far behind the former bank notes which
we formerly bad. He believed that under
the old system the banks themselves could
make more money for the stockholders than
they do now, and lend their money for six
per cent. He vas willing, for one, as cti-
zen, to agitate this subject until we have n

the remedy for the present evils be did not
