For the Postal Congress.

Sixty countries and provinces will be
represented in the Universal Postal Con.
gress in Washington which commences in
that city tomorrow or Wednesday. A
special train passed over the p. W. Il b.,
this afternoon with a number of proni-
nent delegates who arrived in New York
yesterday from foreign countries.
They were accompanied by Second As
sistant Postmaster Shallenberger and
superintendent Of Foreign Mails, Foster.
The delegation consisted of postmaster
generals and leading diplomats.
The much agitated proposition to adopt
a universal postage stamp not good for
domestic postage. but for convenient COM
munlcation between countries, and the
universal return stamped envelope propo-
sition, having similar scope, also will be
brought up, but the probabilities Of ad OPP
lion are said to be against both, with the
latter having the best chance of the two.
There will be no upset of postage rates,
but an increase of the allowable weight for
lettors is probable, thus making an ounce
or three quarters of ounce the unit in
sto1d of the present half ounce, for which
the charge is now five cents.
The three countries still outside-.China,
Corca and the Orange FREQ State-are ex-
pectod to be admitted before the Congress
is closed, though the last named has not
yet been heard from on this subject.

The Sarah White Home.

Although two factions of colored people
are quarrelllng over the question as to
which home-the Sarah White or Sarah
Ann White for aged and inflrm colored
persons, Is the legitimate institution, the
former at Riverview prospers as II no such
question was agitating the community.
Yesterday afternoon u REPUBLICAN re-
porter visited the institution and was inn
pressed with the management Of the In
stltution, It's location and its advantages
for improvement along the line for which
1t was intended
Everything was In first class order an Id
the fourteen comfortably furnishcn rooms
bespoke the interest tho better class of
colored citizens have in the home. The
seven inmates were as well pleased as it
was possible for them to be. Their sur.
roundings were the most oongenial, and
while these were sought to be marred by
the trouble existing out of the homo
ing could affect the stability of the insti.
tuition or its power as tho most helpful
institution OF Its kind in the state.
The building is beautifully situated,
being on the Philadelphia pike just beyond
the cemetery. There is spacious, we'll
shaded lawn In 'front.' and clear un.
broken stretch Of land in the rear which
admits beautiful view of the river. No
better place for like home could there
have been secured and the management Is
therefore congratulated upon having se-
cured the site. Prominent Colored men and
women have the interest of the home at
heart and will do everything in their
power to maintain it, despite efforts on
the part of some INSCRIPTIONS people to
the contrary.

MIR. Knowles Talks.

Horace G. Knowles in speaking of the
Acklan divorce case yesterday said the
proceeding would be continued before the
Legislature. He also said that while no
direct attempts at hold up have beon
made upon him Mrs. Acilan has been
bothered considerably. "Why, these
pestiferous fellows have been trying to
root Inc out Of the case by telling her that
had no influence with the Legislature.
Some OF them have been writing to Mr..
Acklan in Washington asking him to
nght the case on general prnclplse
whether te wanted to or not l don't
know how these rumors got out
Mrs. Acklan has;certainly done nothing
to her discredit. We have made no at
telnpts to bribe any one in the matter.
Some OF the lobbyists have been telling it
that was to get an enormous fee for
conductin the case. all of which is utterly
untrue.
These reports have annoyed Mrs. Ack-
Ian. She thinks she has good case and
the report that the rumors were being cir.
culatod by her friends to secure sympa-
thy arc wholly untrue.
II am requested to do so, | will appear
before the legislative committee, and bo
lieve Mrs. Acklan and Mrs Crockor
would too. Mrs, Acklan, under the laws
OF this state, has a right to apply for o
divorce, and her reasons, as every one will
admit are the very best We are not
responsible in tho slightest way for the
spread OF the reports casting reflections on
the Legislature, the members of W hich
cannot be blamed for the attempts Of out
siderS to extort money"

Preachers Meeting.

AT the Preachers meeting to-day Rev.
j. O. Sypherd was chosen temporary sec
rotary. The meeting was presided over
by Rev. DR.. Murray. Medford II. Cal.
houn presented paper on 1.-THE Pulpit"
AS viewed from the Pew. The subject
was debated by number of tho ministers
present who were of the opinion that there
is too much preaching of religious cant
and not enough Of old time Mothodism.
The catechism should be taught and
members should bo fully aware Of he rea-
son Of being Mothodists.
Simply because a person father or moth.
err was u Methodist is no sound reason for
ono being Of that belief unless he believes
and practices his belief.
The meetings here after will be held at
10 o'clock in order to make tho time of ad.
journmgnt earlier.
