Speaking Of tho conspiracy OF 1876"
Congressman Blackburn said he had used all

more than four'tifths Of the internal revenue

The Bartholdi Pedestal.

The foundation for the pedestal ard

loe's Island, New York. Il WAS formally
inspected last week by officers and mem-
bers of the executive committee, under
the guidance of d4u. Charles p. Stone,
engineer in charge. The foundation
stands in the middle OF the old fort.
Gen Stone say IL will last longer than
the Pyramids. IL is sunk Is feet and s
inches below the surface OF the grouud i,
and rises ~ feet aud 10 inches above. Ii
ia 81 fest square at the bottom and 81 at
the top. From the top the mountains of
Pennsylvauia can be seen. The
pedestal ia to rise III feet above
this, and the statue (l57 feet) Is to cap
the mass, making height from low water
to the top Of the torch OF 332 feet. "The
great problem" said Gen. Stone, "is 10
gnide against the whole mass, with 4, ,00O
square feet of surface, toppling over into
the harbor before the strong winds.
Four large iron bars will be cemeu ted
in:o the base and pedestal, and will

SARATOGA, N. y, May 29.-The Northern
and Southern Presbyterian General Assem-
blies held sioof from each other for several
years after the war. Then they exchanged
fratornal kilograms. Last year they inter-
changed delegates and appointed committees
on co'opeiation. The northern committee
made report to-day through the Rov. DIR.
Samuel j. Niccolls, chairman.
The committee say they frequently met
with the southern committee, aud all their
transactions With zach other were character
lied by cordial and fraternal spirit. Matters
concerning the transfer OF the Danvillo, (Ky. }
Theological Seminary were amioably dis
cussed, and that institution il TO bo trans
ferred to the Southern Church and will
probably be removed to Louisville. DR..
Niocolls said the assembly might regret that
no little had boon accomplished toward organic
reunion, but great advance had been made.
point OF contact had been secured with
their southern brethren, and in these days OF
electricity everybody would understand what
that signiiied. Tho first and hardest stop
had been taken by both assemblies.
The Kov. DIR. Stratton OF Natchez, Miss d,
the southern delegate, took his formal leave.
Tho scene was very impressive, the whole as
sombly standing during his address and tho
moderators response. The venerable visitor
said HIS hoart was full to the brim. His an
ticipations OF cordial reception had been
large but the reality had far exceeded them.
The christian love given him would be borne
M precious treasure to his home and poured
into tho bosom OF the church which he repre-
scntod. In II voice tremulous with emotion
ho said his going home was not II final fare
well, but simply All act OF adjournment.
The assembly sang "Blost be tho tie that
binds" and DIR. Stratton offered feryent
prayer aud Moderator Hays told him to say
to his brethren they had our sympathies, our
love, our prayers and asked for theirs.
Systematic giving was reported on and
strongly urged in several speeches, AZ was
also the case with total abstinence. In tho
latter the committee recommended sending
only temperance men to the legislature and
the creation OF public sentiment to enforce
tho laws they pass. A large popular meeting
IN behalf OF temperance was held this eyon-
ing and waA addressed by prominent advo-
Gates OF the cause from all parts of the
