who was entitled to the credit of the pa

the translation OF the cipher dispatches
that passed between TILDEN's friends in
New York and TILDEN's friends that had
been sent to Florida to secure if possible
the electoral vote Of that State. WHITE

Tribune, has been mentioned as being enti-
tied to the credit OF this piece of patient
and skilliul work A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times throws this light upon
the subject:
Happily, can furnish the information.
The Tribune man has had bushel basket
ful Of cipher kilograms in his Office for
IN ore than two months. How Mr.. Reid OBJ

can pretend to say. However, they were
turned over in bulk TO Mr.. Hnssard, the
most versatile gentleman connected with
the New York press am informed that
Mr.. llasSard worked six weeks on this
mass without getting a point or useful
suggestion. lie then began TO work on the
dates, the number of words in the several
classes OF telegrams, looked up the occur

dates in question, the noted persons in the
Localities at the time, ETC., and before he

THE CHURCH TRIAL.

Agreeable TO the promise made last week
we place before our readers with this issue
the charges, specifsati ons, and the decis-
ion rendered by the Presbytcry after the
testimony and pleadings had all been
placed before its members.
In order to give verbatim copy of the
findings Of Presbytery we haze inserted
the paragraph referring to Mr., J. W. Ross,
which was omitted from some cause by
the Ereniag Bee.
The surface indications nt the present
writing arc, that neither side are favoro-
bly, impressed with the decision. We
humbly beseech all parties in interest to
heed the parting injunctions of the Pres
bytery, in which the language Of the apostle
is thus quoted, BE pcrisct. be OF good
comfort, be Of one mind, live in peace" sc.
If this advice cannot be followed then we
would advise that such legal measures be
pursued as will bring to u logical conclu
sion and Gnd ont wherein the faith is with
Ia them for the assert ions circulated upon
our streets on every occision OF little
excitement. 1t becomes monotonous, il
not pcrplcxing, at times.
We took exceptions to the course of the
Bee, last week. We take it all back now
anil desire to give that paper credit for its
persistent and untring efforts during the
Itire trial to send the case to the Jury
(the people, with the peadinss of one
side only, aud than bnrying the hatchet'
deep and refusing to resurect it. This

thing fabulous. lie formerly looked upon

his opinion, and he now believes its enor-

a marked effect in cheapening the value of
that metal throughout the world. The

ready completed to tho Gla River, has
