The H. &. MOONLIGHT,

The moonlight excursion of the B. c.
of the Union M. L. Sunday School last
night on the steamer "Felton," F." was one
Of the most pleasant affairs imaginable.
The night could not have been more
pleasant if it had been manufactured to
order and kept tor the occasion. The
moonlight was never more mellow nor
bright, the ladies more handsome, the
gentlemen more gallant, the committee
more obliging nor the officers OF the boat
more courteous. The American Rifles
Band never horned better music, the
singers of the Sunday School never
sung sweeter, and Miss Sallie Findley
never brought sweeter music from the
organ. The company was made up of
about 800, mostly young people, who
enjoyed themselves to their hearts con-
tent. The "Felton' steamed out the
Christiana, down around Fort Delaware
and then up almost to Chester, and ar
rived at French street wharf at twenty
minutes past II o'clock, having left the
same wharf at 20 minutes past eight
1t is believed that the young men hav-
ing the excursion in charge will realize
something over and above expenses.
Certainly much credit is due to them
for atfording this opportunity of enjoy
ing such pleasant evening.

In the MIL Race.

Yesterday afternoon q company oi

students of the Boys High School we're
walking up the Brandywine mill race
for pleasure and recreation. Ahead Of
them were a bevy Of young lsdies
going in the same direction; but the
parties were strangers to each other. At
slope in the bank, D young man, a
prominent young artist in the young
mems company, called the attention Of
the young ladies in front, to the condi-
tion of the banks and fcrewarned them
of their danger, when not watching his
own footsteps Ee was the first to slide
into the water over two feet in depth. A
general litter from the young ladies,
and broad old fashioned laugh from
the young men greeted the mishap of
the gallant young artis. as he crawled
out upon terra-frma, and the scared
fish scared by the terrible commotion
in the watery elements rushed wildly
up the stream. True to his srtistical
instincts the young artist seated him.
self upon the banks and faithfully
etched out a representation of the whole
affair which may probably appear In
some of the popular illustrated periodi-

MEssRs. EDlToRs.--In yesterdays is
sue of the REPUBLICAN,, which every
body reads, are few points in refer
ence to the expulsion OF George s. Ha-
gany, Esq. from Asbury M. L. Church.
From the communication, it seems that
Mr.. Hagany claima to have been very
unjustly dealt with in fact that he has
had no fair trial. and there can be- 10
doubt that upon that plea he is max
ing many sympathizing friends. 1t
cannot be disputed anyhow that the
affair has been the subject of much
talk and controversy and as generally
follows in such cases, the more that Is
said about it the more mystitied do the
people become. In trial of such i'm.
portance there must have been r. cord
Of its proceedings kept and if that was
published it would no doubt throw
some light upon this dark subject. Let
Mr.. Hagany produce the record and
then the public can see and judge for
themselves who are the wronged par
ties. HARMONY

3he Iron Trade in the Unified
htAieS.

Secretary Swank, Of the American
Iron and Steel Association, has issued
his usual elaborate report of the
trade for 1878, aud the figures ar.
certainly encouraging. The production
of pig metal last year was greater than
any year since 1874. This improve.
ment is accounted for by the increasing
business Of founderies ana machine
shops, and the growth of the Bessemer
steel industry. The pig iron produced
in 1878 amounted to 2,577,3Gl toAs of
1000 pounds, against 2,3l4, 5s5 tons in
1877, 2,o93, 23G in 1876, and 2,266, ,5s1
in 1875. The average price, however,
was lower than ever before known,

Tn. fact is he has liev-r been discharg

heed no other orders Uui his, which in
fact they could not do, as he, and he
only, had employed them and he only
could discharge them.
Did your informant tell you what
business Mr.. Tatnall was looking after
After Major Candy left, my son went on
with the survey, completing the first
section, drawing maps and profles and
submitted them to the Government for
approval, in order to retain the contract
for the home company, which would
have been forfeited If he had abandoned
the work and cam. home. 1t is natural
to suppose that an active man would
prefer not to be idle, but as far as his
letters indicate. he has done nothing
except to wait and watch the interests
of the contract,
The expense necessary TO the compile
tion OF the survey and maps has been
over hundred dollars; his board is
not tritling in amount, and it would
not take much Of a mathematician TO
show that $50, even with the S35 pre-
viously received, would hardly pay
those bills and his passage $500 home.
Had he attempted to leave without pay
ing the debts, it is probable the credi-
tors would have interposed serious
objection and given him his board and
lodging at the expense of the State.
That he was not willing to risk even
had he been properly discharged. His
treatment by the home company has
been far from fair or honorable.

Congress Urged to do its Duty,

WASHINGTON, June 30.--The follow
ing is the Presidents message urging
Congress to make the necessary appro
priation for the pay of United States
Marshals:
10 the Senate and House of Representa-.
tires The bill asking appropriations
for the payment of fees of United States
Marshals and their general deputies,
which have this day returned to the
House of Representatives Gin which it
originated) with my objections hav-
ing on its reconsideration by the
body failed to become law, | respect
fully call your attention to the imme.
diate necessity of making som. adequate
provision for the due and efficient exc
cution by the Marshals and Deputy
Marshals of the United States of the
constant and important duties enjoined
upon them by existing laws. All the
appropriations to provide for the per-
formance of these indispensable duties
expire to day.
Under the laws prohibiting public
officers from involving the Government
in contract liabilities beyond the actual
appropriation, it is apparent that the
means at the disposal of the Executive
Department for executing the laws
through the regular ministerial officers
will after to-day be left inadequate.
The suspension Of the necessary func-
tions in the ordinary administration of
the first duties Of the Government for
the shortest period is inconsistent with
the public interest, and at any moment
may prove inconsistent with the public
safety.
1t is impossible for me to look with
out grave concern on state of things
which leaves the public service thus
for and the public interest
thus unprotected; and earnestly urge
on your attention the necessity of max
ing immediate appropriation for the
of the service of the Mar
shals and Deputy Marshals for the fls-
cal year which commences tomorrow.

States court, did their duty. Anthony
Higgins, Esq., offered them and in doing
so made pathetic aud effective ad-
dress. In seconding the motion Of Mr..
Higgins, Benjamin Nields, Esq, offered
few remarks.
The court in ordering the resolutions
to be spread upon the minutes spoke at
considerable length. He reviewed the
lie of the deceased and drew from it
a lesson that might be followed with
profit by all. His attainments in lines
Of thought other than those engendered
within the pursuit OF his legal profess
sion were extraordinary. They fitted
him for most any sphere which he in
his best judgment would chose to enter.
As a judge he was just, as a lawyer
he was peerless, as a man and chris
tian he was above reproach. Constant
in his application to his profession he
soon began to reap the benefit Of strict
adherence to duty. His term as Chan
cellor OF the State stands before us as
model for equity and material man
ifrstation Of those superior abilities
which characterizes the life o! the man
whose departure we are this day
mourning.
The Judge thought with all these it
was not to be wondered at that the de-
ceased should be so universally known
and respected.
The Judges remarks of which the
above is all outline were listened to
with profound attention by the mem
