The result of the advisory council
on the scandalous disagreement in the
Madison Avenue Congregational
church at New York, attained recent
ly, was unfavorable TO DR.. Newman
and his supporters. DIR. Newman is
declared only the acting pastor of the
church, as he had not complied with
Congregational usage by becoming a
member of the church and receiving
installation. The disputed action of
Dea. Ranney and the church members
VINO united with him is declared in
accordance with Congregatieaalism,
and their exclusion from the church
by the trustees is pronounced Illegal.
And it is advised that a stated meet
ing of the church be held at which the
officers chosen by each faction snail
resign and & new election take place.
This action does not assuage the
wrath of either the party sustained or
that condemned. Considering the
representative makeup of the council,
its action must be regarded as entire
~ authoritative in respect to Con-
gregatienal usage, and its verdict
indisputable from that standpoint.
But that it will be submitted to by
DR.. Newman, the trustees and those
of the church members who are
attached to Newman, there is small
likelihood. The pastors speech in
his own behalf Wednesday was not
submissive. He expressed warm
admiration for the Congregational
methods and forms, and declared that
he would not have it other than a
Congregational church, but he did not
say that he considered himself Con-
gregaLional pastor, although he asser-
ted his belief that he was the legal
pastor of the church, and that s'such
are the attachments between those
who have asked me to remain and my
own heart that 1 propose to devote
my life to their spiritual good" 1t
is difficult to hope for kindly, peace
able and Christian issue from such di-
ametrically opposed elements as those
existing in this Madison Avenue
church.

How Watch Gases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from AZ to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an expert
nent-it has been made nearly thirty gears.

FxFcUTIvE MANSION,

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26, 1868. !
To Mqj-Gen. Hooter-General:
/ have placed you at the head of
the army of the Potomac. OF course,
I have done this upon what appears
to me to be sufficient reasons, and
yet think it best for you to know
that there are some things in regard
to which l am not quite satisfied
with you. l believe you to be brave
and skillful soldier, which, of course,
/ like. l also believe you do not mix
politics with your profession, in which
you are right. You have confidence
in Yourself, which is valuable, if not
an indispensable quality. You are
ambitious, which, within reasonable
bounds, does good rather than harm.
But l think that during Gen. Burn
sides command of the army you have
taken counsel of your ambition and
thwarted him as much as you could,
in which you do a great wrong, both
to the country end a most meritorious
and honorable brother officer. l have
heard, in such way as to believe it,
of your recently saying that both the
army and the government needed a
dictator. OF course it was not for
this, but In spite of it that | have
gwen you a command. Only those
generals who gain successes can set
up as dictators. What | ask of you
is military success, and | will risk the
dictatorship. The government will
support YOU to the utmost of its abil-
ity, which is neither more nor less
than it has done and will do for all
commanders. / much fear the spirit
you have aided to infuse into the
army of criticising their commander
and Withholding confidence from him
will turn upon you. l shall assist
you as far as l can to put it down
Neither you nor Napoleon, if he were
alive again, could get any good GU
of an army while such a spirit prevails
in it, and now, beware of rashness
Beware of rashness But with energy
and sleepless vigilance, 60 forwar'
and give us victories.

As much ado as has been made
about Fitz John Porter's criticism of
Pope, the following letter is printed to
show how President Lincoln treated
the same fault in Gen. Hooker. This
letter, says the Washington CORE
spondent at the Boston Herald, was
given to Col. Robert N. Scott, of the
war department, by Hooker himself,
and the original is now in the arch
ives. 1t is one of the most notable
productions ever written by President
Lincoln. Some of its parts are fair
iy Shakespearean in diction and
thought. 1t is as follows:
