in presbyterlanism in this city for generations.
whose name has long been associated with that par
tcular church. has recently presented to the trus

nucleus of It's future endowment. For a number
Of years this woman has contributed largely tow
ard meeting the expenses of the parish. but she
has only lately arranged that this certain sum
shall come T. the church in perpetuity.
Since the Rev Dr Howard Duiheld became Its
pastor ne has striven TO secure TO the church
permanent endowment and he looks upon this
provision for the yearly revenue of the church
as the beginning OF the realization OF hts hopes in
that direction In speaking of the matter yesterday.
Dr. Duffield said:
Yes It is a good thing for the church and a
good thing for the city as well. for from the time
when the church was established II has been per-

BUCHANAN AND THE REBELLION.
Some RecolIections of the Two Last Years
of His Administration.
[By Ex-Congressman John J. Perry

[By Ex-Congressman John j. Perry.l
To the Editor of the Press:
There has been more or less contro-
versy in the past over the question of
President Buchanan's loyalty to his
country the two last years of his admin
istra ton, especially the last year, ending
March 8. 1861.
An intelligent discussion of this matter
involves very largely his Official acts and
doines during said period, also his re-
corded opinions upon the great questions
Of that day.
With view to arriving at the truth l
desire briefly to examine Mr.. Buchanan's
public record, so tar as it relates to his
loyalty to the government, and draw
therefrom such logical conclusions as
naturally grow out of the premises.
Mr.. Buchanan came to the Presidency
time in life when man, under ordinary
circumstances is supposed to be at his
best. Previous to that time, he had had
large experience as public man, and
had held many high and RESPONSE BILE
petitions in public life.
In 1914 and 1915 he was a memb Der
of the Pennsylvania legislature, and
leading influential member of that body.
From 1921 to 1881 he was representa-
tive IN Congress from the Lancaster
district in that State. In 1882 Presi-
dent jackson appointed him miaister to
Russia, and on his return in 1884 was
elected to the United States Senate, and
remained d member of that body until
1s45, when he was appointed Secretary
of State by President Polk, where he re-
NAMED until the close of Folks admin
istration. In 1858 he was appointed by
