under administration control.
The porte notified the representa-
tives of the powers yesterday, that 1t
had declared a blockade along the
whole of the Russian coast OF the
Black sea. A delay of three days would
be granded vessels wishing to enter,
and five days to those intending to
leave the Black sea.
A dispatch from Maukpha Pasha,
dated April 80, announces that the
Russians have advanced In great force
towards Kars, In westerly direction,
with the object Of intercepting the
Turkish communication with Erzerva-
mia. The Turkish commander, leav-
ing u sufficient force at Kars, marched
cut with nine battallions, and occu-
pied the village Of Chilake, near Var
din and west OF Kars.
A subsequent telegram from NJ oukh-
tar Pasha announces that some of the
inhabitants Of Kars had brought him
reports that the Russians had attacked
Kars, but were repulsed with loss.
According to telegram from the
Turkish commander at Balaum, the
Russian military operations were ar
rested by rainy weather.
In the Austrian reicherath and the
Hungarian diet to-day, the ministers
made identical replies to interpella-
lions about the eastern question TO the
following effect:
Austria maintains an attitude Of be-
nevolent interest In the christian sub
jects OF the porte, and while observing
strict neutrality, reserves the right To
protect Its own interests, or intervene
with efforts for the cessation or local.
izing OF the conflict. The ministers
recognize the empire as In direct con
nection with and interested In the
affairs Of European Turkey, but deem
resort to war, as measure for thell
protection, unnecessary, In view Of
the attitude Of the other powers, and
the cordial support the government
can command from the representative
Of the people whenever action becomes
necessary.

The cabinet remained In session un-

The announcement that the extra
session had been postponed to the
middle OF October, caused great con-
sternation.
The naval officers pay for April,
May and June il some $500, 900, and
half million dollars deficiency In the

The disappointment among the citis

There Is much distress here for the

session would Lave practically re-

Held, on the part Of the prosecution,
concluded his argument, which was
principally devoted 10 q defense Of the
legal y OF the procedure against Mr..
Miller, on the grounds that his errors
were Vital. Mr.. Millers letter IN a
New York Journal was read aud oom.
mended upon, aud his Views as cler-
gyman were held TO DO entirely inoon-
sistept with doctrines he had In hIs
book These views required him 10
adhere strictly 10 the confession OF
faith, aud the oatechlsm, and also 70.
qulred him TO preserve the peace aud
purity of the church, both Of which
he had violated. The Rev. DR.. Mott
followed on the part OF the prosecu.
ton, aud said that, outside the con fea.
sion OF faith and the catechism, no
held Mr. Miller TO DO guilty, on the
broad field OF christianity.
The presbytery, by an unanimous
vote, sustained the following speoInca.
ton and charges:
First-He teaches that the soul Ia
not immortal; that ut the death OF the
body II dies aud becomes extinct, until
the resurrection.
Seoond-'rhat M q child OF Adam
no was personally accounted guilty OF
Adam's ain, that, like other children
OF Adam, he inherited corrupt ma
ture, and that he needed TO DO and
was redeemed by his own death.
Third-That he teaches there IL but
one person In the Godhead.
The charge we charge Mr.. Miller
with is publicly denying and assailing
important doctrines OF the confession
OF faith and the catechism Of our
church.
The following resolution was then
unanimously adopted;
Resolved, That Mr.. Miller be and Is
hereby suspended from the ministry Of
the Presbyterian church, until such
time as he shall make manifest, to the
satisfaction Of the presbytery, his rc-
nunciation of the errors he holds, and
his solemn purpose no longer to pro-
mitigate them.
Mr.. Miller said 1t was simply
moral aud intellectual impossibility
for him to renounce his views and
gave notice Of an appeal to the synod.
The moderator then pronounced the
sentence In solemn manner, after
which prayer was oit.red, and the
presbytery adjourned.

GODS GIFT TO HIS People.

The regal right to royalty on all
mines within the Kings dominion, has be-
come obsolete in = great measure in Great
Britain. The principle could we'll be in
voked in this country at present. A
United popular movement, would compel
a constitutional amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States; 80 that heie-
after, all mines Of coal, oil, salt or miner
ais, hereafter discovered, and not regis
tered-at the time of its passage-as min
eral lands should be the property of the
State, when discovered, and the owners
right, only attach to the overlying land'
for purposes Of cultivation, compensation
to be given for right of entry, &c. These
are the common property Of the people.
We do not mean that any existing rights
should be disturbed, bat that confederated
plunderers, should be debarred from acquir
ing proprietary rights to minerals, or that
the accidental occupancy Of the surface,
should enrich an individual to the injury
of millions of his fellows. Another
amendment enabling the States to declare
railroad companies to be common carriers
only, and to compel them to furnish pow
er, at fixed rates of compensation to move
the cars of any one who desires TO become
a competing carrier, in word, forcing the
management 10 open their road to compe-
tition in the transportation of freight, or
passengers The companies now do so,
ex-sra,ia, to fast freight lines and palace
car companies.
These are the paths working men should
be heating down, and ne. wasting their
,orcs about impracsicsble things. These
are the wars whereby labor can live, and
t interfere with existing rights-in'o
ihese avenues let agitation De directed. 1t
i. no. right that officers Of corporations,
should be banded wrecks, and sha: the
men eff the people should starve.

Wherevealth accumulales and nen decay,
Deliberate action, patience, and legal
obedience, are the ways to success.

BUTLER CERTAIN TO BE ADMITTED
Patterson Speaks out In the Republican
Caucus and Declares his Determs-
nation to Stick TO the Last.

Special dispatch TO the BALTIC. Gazette.
Was sHINGTON, Nov. 23.--All day long
the republicans have been bulldozing
Patters on and Oonover, and trying to
whip themin on some compromise or com
init the N to trap. But tonight they hold
the fort. At the republican caucus held
this morning Mr.. Patterson addressed his
associates in plain terms. He first said
that MI. Conover, who was absent had
authorized him to speak in his behalf in
everything; and then proceeded to state
that he had long since made up his mind
to support General Butler, and had so
annouu ueed months ago. He believed
that the Hampton government was legal
and hence the Hampton House, which
elected Butler, should have his support.
1t was useless to talk of any back down
As to uhholy alliances alluded to by Mr..
ConkiiIg, he would reply to that charge
on Monday in open Senate. Both he and
Conover intended to support Kellogg,
but would resist any measuce designed
TO checlmate their efforts to seat Butler.
He repildiated the charge that he had
deserted his party, but he intended to
stand by Butler on both personal and
legal grounds. His speech had a good
effect. His associates concluded it was
best to take him at his word and, Don
Cameron and several others assured him
they believed he was acting conscien-
tiously, and amicable relations were in
part restored.

TRULY ELOQUENT FIGURES

We mean those published in the Jour
nal OF Commerce yesterday giving the
grain movement in relation to New York
and other ports for the forty-fve weeks
ended the 10th instant. Last year Phil
adelphla, Baltimore and Boston togeth>
er badly beat New York IN grain re-
celpts, but this year she has gained H.
OO6,0O0 bushels in wheat and corn on the
business done in the corresponding for
ty-hve weeks of 1876, and now caps the
totals OF her three competitors by about
2,OO0,00O bushels! In wheat she is T.
100000 ahead of them all, but in corn
100000 behind Her exports for this
period are 100000 bushels more Of
wheat and 100000 less of corn than
those of the other three cities. The last
week, to November 10, in which the
grain movement at New York has been
exceedingly active, gave her an excess
OF nearly 1000 900 bushels of wheat and
4,0O0,OO OF corn, and the gain in ex ports
was not less gratifying.
These blessings of returning trade we
owe to the low canal tolls. The brief
remainder OF the season will only con.
hrm more strlkingly the wisdom of the
cheap toll policy in its effects on New
York city and the whole 5 tate. Its
friends will appear before the next Leg.
lslature armed, lrresistibly we hope,
with facts and figures to prevent an in,
crease OF the rates, it not to make more
popular the bold idea of freeing the ca
mails and letting the magnificent COM
merce of the West have full chance to
pour itself into.thjs it's natural market
and point CT shipment for Europe.
