The present General Assembly of
the c. ?. Church at Lebanon is
very largely attended-there being
2I5 members present, and about as
many visitors. Rev E. d. Bushnell
Of California was the moderator.
This is the fourth time this supreme
legislature OF the Church has met
at LebanOn--LebGaon the center of
Cumberland Presbyterianism, the
place made famous for being the
seat of the Cumberland University.
1t is a heavy tax on 3 small town
TO entertain so large an assembly,
but Lebanon is equal to all such
emergencies, and her liberal and
hospitihle citizens are glad when
zach distinguished privileges are
afforded them. Perhaps she never
entertained amore distinguished and
able body Of men than composed
this Assembly, except when the
I. Z. A. met there some years ago.

Should the West and North be IA

England, who has heretofore been
supplied largely by Russia, will no
doubt call upon our country (even
within a year) for a larger share of
our products than she has hereto
fore taken. The present Russian
condition is not favorable for one
half of her usual English supply of
wheat. With these indications be-
fore us, wheat and -four cannot be

drawn by 4 o'clock OF the same day he would
shoot where the Mexicans were standing.
The Americans accordingly were formed In
fighting order, and at the time specified
were ordered by their commander to ad-
vance. Their number seems to have over
awed the Mexican soldiers, who retreated
to certain distance from the road, still
keeping, however, the raiding party in
sight Notwithstanding the greatly in
fcrior strength Of the Mexican forces,
which in large measure justified
their reluctance to attack, the Ameri-
can General seems to have questioned
his ability to make the brilliant stroke ex-
pectcd at Washington and destined to fire
the blood of the American people. Or 1t
may be that MACKENZIE had hoard some
thing of the wholesome legislation to be
effected In the last days ~ the session
OF Congress whereby the employment OF the
army is stringently limited to objects defined
by law. But whatever his reason, the fact
remains that the commander of the army OF
invasion rcconsidcrod his first purpose and
marched his troops back to the Rio Grandc
Thus 1t was that n project Of deliberate and
shameless aggression, devised to prop the
frail and lettering tenure OF Fraudulent
Administration, and TO win oblivion for dis
honor amid the sacrifices OF one people and
the suf1crings Of another dragged into \
causelcss war, collapsed into n farce. But

authorize the payment OF any private claim
not payable under existing laws until the
same has been heard and reported TO Con-
gress by the Court OF Claims. All claims
not brought to suit within six years from
the passage OF the act to bo barred, except
when the claimants are under legal disabil-
ity TO take action, and then the action must
be brought within three years after such
disability ceases.
Public and private rights are alike guarded
In this measure, and great benefits would
result from the passage of law preserving
its main features. Congress, from the ma
ture of its organization, Is wholly untitled
to decide claims against the Government.
In nine cases out OF ten, sympathy Is with
the individual, and experience has demon
stratcd that the most worthless claims are
the most successful, from the pcrsistency
and doubtful means with which they are
urged, and through which influence is en-
listed in their behalf.
Besides this objection. the public business
Is seriously retarded in the consideration
and discussion of private claims. One day
in every week of the session is set apart for
this object. The claims are constantly nc
cumuating, and between the reports Of
committees and the publication Of testimo-
ny, immense volumes are annually printed
at large cost and in the exclusive interest of
individuals. Tho manufacture OF false
claims may be said to have become pro-
fcssiOn from the temptations held out by
loose and reckless legislation.
BY Mr.. PoTTERs plan, this vicious system
is cut up root and branch; great saving Of
time and money Is assured, and the scandals
which have attended private claims will
cease. 1t 10 a practical step in the right
direction, which will connne Congress to its
proper duties and close the doors Of the
Treasury against organized raids and

An Extraordinary Admission by Mr..
Shcrmau.

In commenting on Mr. Secretary SHER-
MANS refusal to positively deny the author
ship of the damaging letter to WEBER and
ANDERSON, when a copy of IL was handed to
him on the witness stand, we suggested that
MIR. SHERMAN was influenced by a whole
pome fear lest the original, in his own hand
writing, might be produced. In this sur
mise IL appears we were correct. Mr.. SHEER
MAN himself admits It Wcconfcss we were
hardly prepared for such an admission from
his own lips but his conduct has been such
as to leave little room for surprise at any
thing he may do. Mr.. SHERMAN's remarka-
BILE admission is made In the following
words, In n conversation on Monday last
with reporter OF the Ner York Tribune,
founded by HORACE GREELEY, a journal en-
tirely friendly to him:
AS TO the criticisms OF my conduct in not denying
more strongly hatI wrote the pretended letter only
have to say that denied 1t strongly any honest
could deny such an allegation. for no honest
could say, called suddenly was and without knowi
edge Of the testimony Of ANDERSON and ne
on, repeatedly Hade hat n, original ,cr and Photographic
copy ouli D, pree,i that was impossible that he had
written such letter"
That is 1t. Mr. Secretary SHERMAN was
afraid Of the original letter or u photo
graphic copy. He admits IL himself Hence
he dared not positively deny the authorship
Of the letter.
Mrs. jerks, more reckless Of consequences,
and more brazen than he, could swear to
anything; but Mr.. SHERMAN for the best OF
reasons as assigned by himself dared not
state under oath that he had never written
such letter

Gen. BUTLER led him of into the NICHOLAS
PACKARD controversy. on which topic nearly
every member OF the committee quizzed him.
Last summer The SUN exposed a fraudu-
lent and dangerous device Of dishonest milk
dealers. who had found out how to beat the lac
tometer. While pure milk is heavier than
water. skinned milk is heavier still So they
would take out twenty or thirty per cent OF tho
pure milk and I'LL up their cans with skinned
milk and water. and the mixture would come
up to the standard OF 100 by the lactometer. As
the skinned milk cost them very little. the dis
honest dealers were enabled to sell at Ave and six
cents quart whore dealers In pure milk could
not afford to sell at less than eight cents THE sun
demonstrated that many OF even our best hotels
and restaurants. as well as the smaller vendors.
were selling this fraudulent mixture. We had
large number OF samples OF milk bought in
different parts Of the city and tested in cream
omcters. About one-half OF them proved TO be
adulterated with skinned milk and water IN
proportions ranging from three TO ninety per
cent. The public attention thus attracted to the
matter brought about the enactment OF laws by
both the New York and New Jersey Legislatures
last winter to provide a remedy. Those who

their cans labelled with the words " skim milk"

But in neither Legislature did they think fit
to act upon another suggestion which grew out
OF THE suns Investigations Of this subject last
summer. We showed that the production Of
swill milk. which had been driven away from
New York by the assaults Of the press had
merely been transferred to the farming dis
trcts. and that the shipment OF the refuse OF the
brcwerics and distileries had become an i'm
portant freight on all the railroads leading to tho
milk-producing districts. Were tho railroads
so potent in Albany and Trenton that the Logis-
laturcs could not have forbidden this vile
traflic also? They deserve scant credit for saw
ing the babies that pinned on skim milk while
letting the railroads bring in beverage that
poisons them.
