He osed the letter of Rev. Mr. Latanet, of Wheeling, as his basis, taking his text from the t7th verse of tbe 16th chapter of Romans, "Mow beseech vou brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrines which ve have learned, and avoid them." Mr.
Ohl said the "Reformers" make four objections to the Episcopal Uburch, viz First, That it is divided Into the high church and low church parties; second, that the prayer-book contains certain words and phrases which are capable of being perverted into a sanction of Romamsh doctrine; third, that the action of the last general convention showed it to be impossible to get rid of these objectionable words and phrases; and, fourta, that tbe Episcjpal Church unchurches the other Protestant de nominations. In answer to these objections the reverend gentleman argued that if there are different parties in the church, this only shows that the church is comprehensive and tolerant, that it is a church and not a mere sect second that if the prayer-book contains objecti mable language, Ihis is an argument not for leaving the church but for revising the prayer-book third, undertook to show that the reformers grossly misrepresent the action of the last general convention and four.h, That the formularies of the church are unchanged and do not unchurch other Christians. He showed that ritualism is not sanctioned even by high churchmen, and that there is no truth in the assertion that the church has drifted from its ancient Protestant moorings. In conclusion, he criticised the conduct of the reformers and expressed the belief that the movement has but a poor prospect of success. CHICAGO.

I cannot close this hasty and inadequate, yet fervent and hearty tribute, without recalling to your memory the reverent spirit in which he pursued his scientific labors. Nearly forty years ago, in his first great work on fossil fishes, in developing his principle of classification, he wrote: "An invisible thread in all aees runs through this immense diversity, ex hibiting, as a general result, the fact that there is a continual progress in development, ending in man. The four classes of vertebrates present the intermediate steps, and invertebrate are a constant accessory accompaniment. Have we not here an immense mind, as powerful as prolific, tbe acts of an intelligence as sublime aa provident, the marks of a goodness as infinite as wise, the most palpable demonstration of the existence of a personal God, the author of all things, ruler of the universe, and dispenser of all good? This, at least, is what I read in the works of creation." But it is what be ever read, and read with profound awe and admiration. To this exalted faith he was invincibly loyal.
No laws of nature were to hini as the eternal word of God. Hi3 repugnance to Darwinism grew in great part from his apprehension of its atheistical tendency sn apprehension which, at best, I cannot share, for I forget not that those theories now in tbe ascendant are adopted by not a few determined Christian men, aud while they seem to me not only unproved but unprovable, I could deem them truth without irting with one iota of my faith in God and Christ. Yet I can best sympathize most heartily with him in the spirit with which he resisted what seemed to him to lessen the majesty of the Master and supporter of the Universe. Nor was his a mere theoretical faith. His whole life, in its pervading spirit of service, in its fi delity to arduous duties, in its simplicity and truthfulness, bespoke one who was sincerely fulfilline a mission from God to hi fellow-men.

The verdict in ihat case was so plain and decisive, that even Butler Bnd Carpenter yielded to it, and the politicians of tbe State ought to be wise enough, if the Eatanswil! organ is not, to lake warning from the result in that case, and govern themselves accordingly.

HAVANA. Important Oiders from the Captaio General R'gorous Measures to Suppress tkfl Rtbellion.
Havana, February 7. Two pages of to-day 's Official Gazette are devoted to the proclama tion of Captain General Jovellar, lately rein vested with extraordinary powers. The first gives a full exposition of the present state of the insurrection and the causes of its continuance, and also assurances that peaceable citizens may live securely under protection of the The second declares the entire island in a state of siege all rebels and persons accused of sedition, murder, and si uilar crimes, are to be tried by court-martia! persons charged with other crimes and misdemeanors are to be tried before tbe ordinary courts, the Captain General reserving the right to turn them over to a court-martial if tne gravity of their crimes requires it. The third orders the mobilization for active service of one volunteer out of every ten this mobilization to begin immediately and continue six months all persons between tbe ages of twenty and forty-five yeara, not volunteers on the first of February, are to be enrolled in the militia. The fif provides that free colored people enrolling in the militia, sball be subject to the same conditions as whites and be mobilized in the same manner.
The sixth orders that owners of slaves shall give one out of every one thousand in the island, to work in the camps and on fortifications and trochas at the end of the campaign the government will liberate ail these slaves, paying their owners one thousand dollars for The seventh augments every battalion in the army by two companies. The eighth creates a junta for the inspection of all items of the expense of the war. The ninth organizes vigilance committees in the interior, who will take note of everything going on, and furnish guides and act as home guards: this system of vigilance to be paid for and intended to prevent communication between rebel sympathizers in towns and armed insurgents, thus isolating the latter, ine tentn orders that all officers and soldiers shall be naid in the future in cold, or its equivalent in paper. The eleventh increases extra allowances and food of soldiers in the field. The twelfth relates to towns and settlements in the interior, ordering that only such new settlements be preserved as may be necessary in a military and political sense, and whose disappearance cannot produce any alarm or cause for desertions to the enemy the inhabitants of destroyed towns to be removed to the nearest preserved town and receive laud for tillage known to be in a productive condition able bodied nudes to be enlisted as local guerillas, their families to receive government rations towns may be taken from their present site to another, and new towns built according to the prescribed plan.
These orders are published simultaneously throughout the island, and Spaniards suppose they will be sufficient to crush the rebellion within six months. CASUALTIES. A crtdeatal Death Pfear SpecUi Dii-patch to the Commercial. Massillon, 0., February 7, 1874. Peter Leonhart, while digging in a gravel baDk near the rolling mill at this place, was instantly killed by the bank caving in on him.
He was single, about twenty-two years of age, and lived with his family in this city. Killed by Pinylnc Anions Cars. Special JJupatcb to tbe OonunerolaL Crestline, February 8, 1874. A sad accident occurred about noon to-day in the railroad yards at this place. A little boy named Dennis Mack, about ten years of age, whose parents reside near the railroad, was playing with other boys among the cars in the yard near his home, unobserved by any one, while a freight train was backing up slowly to connect its caboose, and the little fellow was caught between the cars that were set in motion by the backing train.
He lived but a few moments. No blame attaches to the railroad employees. Fort Wayne Bar I.ea an Eye. Special Dipateh to the Commercial. Fort Wayne, February 8, 1874.

Propo e4 Enli rgement of Wabash and Erie Canal. Toledo, 0., February 7. The Board of Trade to-day adopted a series of resolutions in favor of the enlargement of tfie Wabash and Erie Canal from this city to Terre Haute, Indiana, and its extension from that point St. Louis. The resolutions set forth the peculiar advantages of this proposed water route, which will afford convenient and cheap transportation facilities between the great west and tidewater.
A committee of three was appointed to present the resolutions to the National Grange, now in session at St. Louis, and the Secretary of the Board was instructed to send copies to the St. Louis Board of Trade aDd to all Western Senators and Representatives in Congress. NEWS SUMMARY. JSP TELEGRAPH.

and of fnndavs and Saturdavs and may possibly nicl*t essions next week but as there is a strong desire to get home to attend the s-pringelection, an adjournment for a week from Thursday next is much more likely. On Friday it persistently refused to take np bills that were rtady and waiting for its action, and it did nothing, to-day but receive new business so that the prospect for work next week is not In the Seriate, on Friday, the Finance Committee reported a bill to provide for a settlement of the State Printer's account, rendered necessary by the destruction of his office by fire, last fall, and with it a large amount of work for the State, printed but not then delivered. The bill allows him $30,000 for work really done for the State, but destroyed, and will probably pass. The bill relative to change of venue in civil cafes passed finally, and the similar one relative to cnanges of venue in criminal cases, having been amended so as to allow changes to be made on trials for felony, perjury, forgery and involuntary manslaughter, had to go over to have the amendments pnntea. A bill to prevent trespass by hunters on enclosed and improved land gave rise to considerable debate, and was variously amended and passed to the third reading; but the nim-rods all seemed to regard it as an encroachment on their rights.
Mr. Playtjrd, who seems to have a genius for field sports, is very jealous of any action that interferes with the freedom of the hunter; but the feeling of the Senate seemed to be with the bill. The bill introduced by Mr. Warfel, fixing the first Monday in April as the day when the terms of all officers elected at the spring elections shall begin, was amended by Mr, Fitch so as to leave school directors out of the list, and its shape was otherwise considerably changed: but as it is likely to be still further changed, before passage, it is not worth while to give its details. A bill declaratory of the new Election law was up, and several amendments were made to it.
As originHlly framed, it declared that the additional assessors provided for in the new law were to be assessors for the purposes of registering alone, and not for purposes of valuation. To this a proviso was added that this should be the case only in those wards, boroughs and townships containing more than one election district. It wiil probably pass in this shape; so that the additional assessors provided for will be only for the purposes of making the registry of voters. This will necessitate the election ot an assessor for each precinct for registry purposes, and in addition a regular assessor for the entire township or ward, as heretofore. Thus the township of Elizabeth will elect four precinct assessors, and one for tbe whole township nd Rnhinson and other townships divided into two precincts will elect an assessor for the whole township and one for each precinct besides.
Of course, the township assessor may also be chosen precinct assessor for the precinct in which he lives. It will be well, therefore, in voting at the February election, to designate the regular assessor as 'Assessor" merely, and the others as Precinct Otherwise there will be confusion witnoutend. Mr. Rntan offered two other amendments, which were adopted, requiring returns of ward, borough and township elections to be made to tbe Court of Quarter Sessions, as heretofore and substituting the Protbonotary for the County Commissioners, in the list of those who are to constitute the Board of Return Judge when the Judge of the Common Pleas cannot sit. In the House, on Friday, the bill to fix judicial salaries passed first reading as it came from committee.
Mr. Ramey's motion to reduce the salaries to the present point was voted down, 38 to 4( but this was in Committee of the Whole, where the yeas and nays cannot be called. When the bill comes up on second reading, and the members have to face the record of veas and nays, the motion will be re pealed, and will probably meet with a different fate. Tbe corporation tax bill also passed first reading, and the bill to fix sheriff's juries in partition cases at six, was negatived. In the House, to-day, quite a number of bills were read, and the committees also made several reports.
The Committee on Mines and Manufactures reported adversely on the bill to appoint three commissioners to examine the condition of the bituminous mines of the Commonwealth, which is probably a final disposition of that proposition, and the Judiciary Committee reported favorably on the bill to exempt from the penalties of the act of 1794 those who religiously and conscientiously observe the seventh day as the Sabbath. There is an acti ve pressure here, cut now, to pass this latter bill. The Seventh day Baptists are numerous in several of the central counties and as they are good citizens, as well as conscientious in their religious convictions, they present a strong case for those who believe in religions liberty. Mr. Christy, from the Committee on Federal -fSelations, reported favorably a joint resolution requesting our Senator? and Representatives in Congress to vote for the bill now before that body providing for the arming and equipping of the whole body of the militia.
This is a bill to transfer the expense of ara i ig the militia from tbe State to tbe national government. It will probably pass; but I am not sure that it should. The bill to regulate the publication of notices of applications for special legislation has been amen ed by the conference committee, so as to require publication in two papers, one of which may be published in a foreign language. The report of the committee was adopted in the House, and wiil be, in the Senate, on Tuesday. Mr.
McMilien, from the Committee on Mines and Manufactures, reported with a negative recommendation, an act to encourage and promote the farther development of the mineral resources of the State, and to provde for a right of way to and from mineral lands. Also, with a negative recommendation, the resolution in reference to appointing a committee to inquire into the cause of the suspension of coal rniniDg in Schuylkill county. I notice that the gushing and always amiable editor of the paper that takes the place, among your citizens, of the Ea'answill Gazette, which pitches into Mr. Pimey, of Indiana, for his efforts to keep down an increase of judicial salaries and pours out the vials of his wrath on all who agree with Mr. Ramey.
The difference between Mr. Ramey and the editorial swash-buckler who defames him is, that Mr. Ramey feels a sense of his responsibilities as a representative, and the other has no sense of responsibility of any kind. It is very eay for an editor who can sling money around in the style ot bardanapatus to sneer at representatives who will not vote away a million of the people's money in a breath to give magnificent salaries to Judges; but the man who has been chosen specially to represent the people has to look upon the question from the jieople's standpoint, and not from the standpoint of attorneys ambitions of ingratiating themselves with the court, or perhaps looking forward to the bench themselves. Mr.
Rumey, and those who have sided with him, have the proud consciousness of knowing that they truly represent the taxpayers of the State in resisting the proposed increase of salaries and those who know that they have the people at their backs can afford to disregard the swash and the slush of the calumniators of the press. The Judges of the State, outside of Philadelphia and Allegheny, get a year, now, and in those two counties, each, from the State. The pending bill proposes to raise the $4,000 salaries and the 15,000 salaries to $7,000, and to add to ih salaries of the Supreme Judges. There are nuw fifty-seven Judges: The new Judicial bill ailds fifteen to tii number, and two new Judges are to be added to the Supreme Court. The new Judges to be chosen this year will cost, according to the pending bill, as follows Thirteen new Judges at 16.000 65,000 iso new odges id raumnmpuut es Two mtimf.ma jnrisea at 18.000 each 14,000 18,000 ilve newOiptiaas Court Jadfes at each Annual coat (on this plan) of tbe new Jadirea rendered necessary by the Con- itttuuon jiao.GOO According to Mr.
Ramey's amendment, these new Judges would cost as follows: Thirteen sew Judges H.iwi each 52,000 Two i'Miadeiphsa Jodgea alls, ow) each 18,080 Five Orphans' Court as f4.oon each. 90,000 Two Scoreme Court Judges at (T.IKM each U.ooo Total cost cl new lodges, on thts plan 194,000 This is an annual saving of and as Ih' of my now made cannot be changed for the next ten years, the total saving to the ate, by uie proposed amendment, would be $240,000. This increase of Judges is rendered neces-eary by tbe jew Constitution, and cannot be avoided.

RIPLEY, OHIO. Ttttiperarce Crnsade ry ing to ihe Steamboats- ladies At'end-I'rogress of the Work. Riplev, February 7. The temperance ex citement is red hot. The ladies manifest a resolute disposition in this matter.
The procession appeared this morning stronger than ever. Three more saloous have closed. The most respectable dealers have given up. At noon theprocessiou boarded the Wild wood, on her down trip, and were received by ihe officers in a very gentlemanly and kind spirit. The assurance was given that no liquor would be sold to citizens of this place from that boat's bar while at this wharf.
There were on the boat some of Kentucky's grandiloquent bloods, and among them one from Dover, who grossly insulted the ladies with tbe most profs ne and ungentlemanly abuse while Mrs. Moody was engaged in prayer. He had not even the slight excuse of being drunk, or this might have been overlooked. He was returning from a chicken-fight at Maysville, aud felt very valorous. When 'he male element heard of this, the boat was leaving, but you may rest assured if they could have got at him he would have tut with severe treatment and a full supply of feathers.
The victory over the saloons seenis as complete as it is sudden. Many astonished old topers are sober to-day, and dry as hot bricks. They say it can't be got. Nearlv five hundred signatures have been obtained to the totai abstinence pledge. Public sentiment is overwhelmingly for the ladies' movement.
