While discussing tbe question tbe professor himself arrived, and entering tbe church, reaffirmed his decision to withdraw. come indecision was shown by tbe mem ben present a to the best at tlen, bat it was Anally agreed to continue thia Fourth Pres byterian church of Chicago in ail its eccle.iasti;al relatfons to the Prosbyteriau body, a id th at Prole sor S w lng should si il I con tinue to preach to the church as an independent pastor. And ad the professor had suggested the Hea one of tbe members aaiJ. "wa will be a Presbyterian church with a Coojrczationa! minister." Within the past two days tbe greatness of ahert-horn cattle baa been again magnified by two public sales at auction in Nert hern Illinois. . Wednesday was given to the herd of Mr. C. C. Parks, at Glen Flora farm, near Waukegan. A large number of fine cattle were sold at high figures, some going as high as 52,360, the sale footing up &4,930.

So the furor for fancy stock has not yet subsided, and the abort-home are tbe royal race. This herd sold tt Chicago belonged to tbe Hon. W. S. King, of Minneapolis and was brought on to meet the buyers half way. It is a good feather in tbe cap of young Minnesota, 1 One Atlantic cable will not do. Tbe present wire does very well'In sending over long accounts bf European borso races, the mo r Cements ol dukes and duchesses and others of that ilk, and occasionally a brief notice of .a proposed royal marriage or a contemplated trip bv a titled nobody around the world: And besides the owners of the present cable, rinding that monopoly as well as revenge is sweet have continuously disregarded tbe demands ol the public and have- extorted most unreasonable rates of transmission.' Bat a second Puck Is going to girdle the world, or rather that portion of it which lies nnder the Atlantic ocean. Tbe steamer Faraday H already on its way to thin country with a part 1 of tbe new cable on board. This part is to be laid from tbe New. Hampshire coast to Newfoundland, and when that is done the same steamer will return and getting tbe rest of the cable, again start from this side and complete the laying . between New Foundland and Ireland. , It U intended to have tbe whole line in working ordor by autumn, and it is promised to send message ae fifty cent a word. Tbe name of this new company is tbe "Direct ' United 8tates'raud it has a capital of jö.000,000. , ' ' 'f' An inspection of the twenty-third annual report 1 of tbe State ßcaxd of Agriculture, which is now issued, shows that the Board is a living power in the public interesr, and that tbey are on the high road of progressive thought. The report itself ia not altogether satisfactory, but its deficiencies are compensated by the statements to I hat effect, and suggestions which prove' that tbe proper' standard Is in a!ght." It was not possible for tbe secretary, Mr. Alexauder Heron, to i prepreparesueh a report as Indiana, wants fax two reasons. II was limited intbe amount allowed to be expended, and what was of more .importance,' . the iacts and figures, which ought to' appear in, the agricultural report, or many of them," could not be obtained at any cost. Legislation '.nustbe had providing- for statistical work In tbe townships, either by township assessors, or better, as suggeped by Secretary Heron, by the supervisors of roadn in . their several districts, - As the work is now done, all the crop and agricultural statistics ol the state as taken, and it may bo added.' very loosely taken i by township asessm,' are not compiled and brought Into shape for any practical use until tbey are too old to be of much immediate value. Ou toe table, by the side of this report, lie two large reports by the agricultural societies of Massachusetts and Ohio. . In both of these volumes, but especially the latter, a great mass ef matter is bound up, valuable, - it is true, but not properly in tbe line of official report to be made at public expense. Kssays and papers drawn from , various sources on both sides of the water, some new ao.. some eld, may be very good,' but their place fa lsewbwrethan I n state reports. What 4s wanted In the agricultural reports - of Indiana, are facts and ' figures exhibiting the products and condition of the farm' inter eats of the commonweal tb,and tbe doings of State mad county societies.

There ia a chance here for tbe ttrancers to do a rood thing. As the order extends to almost every county, they could. by co-operation with the State Board, supply a more perfect file of atallsticrlhan any cen aus report or than tbe stats ever baa. Let them think of it. A special telegram- from Chicago, printed this morning, indicates that Professor Swing has made up his mind to relieve himself of the pestering impertinences of the Patton sort, by having tbe church in which the Fatton kind seem to have away. - All that is large-hearted . and ..liberal, .will sym pathlze with this action of the emi nent divine. It is tbe misfortune 0 tbe rresbyterlan church that she can' not be served by great men. So soon as aSwing or a Bescher appears be is ' beset by a body of sanctimonious block beads, who presuming to construe tbe word and the faith, permit no variation from their whims. . With such men to embarrass him in his own house, Mr. Swing could not rise to bis best usefulness and it is only by going outside of the church that be can give play to his highest aspira tions. The history of this case has been, from the beginning, a thorough illustration of the narrowspirit that is presented in many eases to impede the working of the .churches, and by.reading and noting,church people may be enabled - to steer clear of- the things arhich -mtv: driven .this inost bril tiant man from the church. Prof.. David Swing, originally from Ohio, and brother of the eminent Judge Swing, of the Cincinnati courts, has been, nxt to Robert Collyer, the most conspicuous preacher in tbe west lor two or three years past. As the pastor j of tbe Fourth Presbyterian church in Chicago, be has . attracted a large part of the culture and intelligence ofthat city to bis Sunday sermons, and stands now the exponent of the very highest order of pulpit eloquence. Of a sweet, modest and kind disposition, he seeks no consDicnous dace, and is far from that Odious Droduct of modern pulpit degeneracy, , "the popular preacher.' 1 - As may be supposed, a man of Prof. Swing's character charged with .heresy, stirred up tbe feeling of the entire country, and prob: bly no ecclesiastical event In years has been watched with greater interest. Prof. Pat tan 3 a late arrival in Chicago, i having, only within a short time accepted a professorship n tbe Northwestern University, and who as also been doing some editorial writing on the Interior. He set himself at once to rWerllhA taint ni heresv In the r-reachintt and rmblished writinirs of Prof. Swine, and finally hia editorial criticisms became so I offensive to tbe presbyters of Prof. Swing's j church , av to call forth a pretest.! Obliged in some sort to justify the editorial I charges againat Swing, Patton finally embodied his charges with formal specifications, and laid them before the presbytery. There were two distinct charges, the first alleged unfaithfulness in maintaining the truths of . I the cospel; and tbe second to receive and adopt tbe a failure I I confession of fHitb. There were twenty-two separate specifications under, the. first ' and . . - . . r ' four under the second. The trial was begun on April 20, and tbe verdict was reached on the 20th iasL Professor Patton has now appealed to the Synod of Northern Illinois, which does bot convene until next October. Among the moie iinpoitant specifications indidinir Professor 'Swini of' bareav worn thfl following Predflatination. election, total denravitv. aalvation. the trinitv. the aove reignity ot God.tbe divinity of Christ.eternal a ay w w - mr W - - damnation, original sin, responsibility.: for aio, Unitarlanism, Sabellisnism, .

The prosecutor proposed to prove these by extracts from two published volu mes ol sermons by , Professor Swing and also by two dozen witnesses. Of the Utter, thirteen, purposely abeentod ' hemselves, and of tbe remaining ones'' many gave evidence sup-' porting Professor Swing. ( Of the ' written extracts they all seemed to disappear when once considered in connection with the context; "Proiessor Swing formerly belonged to ' the ' 1 Ne w ' School of t Pres byterianism and bis prosecutors as exclusively to the old school; so that this trial is generally regarded as re-examination of the doctrinal standards of the new school branch. - It will be remembered that these two branches of the Presbyterian church united only four years ago, the old school acknowledging tbe ' chief doctrines embodied In the Auburn declaration. The arguments upon both sides of this trial were able, those of Professor Patton. and Dr. Halsey being especially noticeable. Only once did Prof. Swing deigu to speak and then with his. Inimitable wit, sarcasm' and graceful Btyle, bis speech has been! pronounced one df the ablest in the history of ecclesiastical trials. No cne seemed more surprised

Now that the Arkansas squabble la. at end, it may be profitable to take a look backward at another unplesantness of a pot wholly dissimilar kind in Rhode Island, in 'what is - called 1 the Dorr rebuilt )n. At that time there were in that state two rival governors, each claiming to have been constitutionally elected, thus producing two state governments in existence at the same time. Tbe inhabitants were divided Into two hostile parties or camps, martial law was proclaimed, troops were mustered and armed and collisions took place. The president was appealed to for military assistance by the governor to put down the Dorr inturrec ton. Finally Dorr was defeated In his at tempt to establish his authcritv, and he ceased his attempts when it. was once known that President Tyler had decided call out the militia for the main tenance of tbe public peace. The Dorr rebellion arose out of an attempt to efiect'a change in the constitution. Tbe govern nient at that time was based on a charter granted to the colonists by King Charles I., in 1663, and the chief cause of dissatisfaction was in the nnequal apportionment of repre sentation. The elective franchise was limited to the holders of a certain amount of real estate and to tbeir eldest sons, thus making only about one-third of the citizens voters. However strange it may seem, net only did Rhode Island unite with the other colonies, under this form of government, in the Declaration of Independence but after ward in adopting tha constitution. Unfor tunately in this form of government no proVision was made for any amendments to tbe constitution and a large number of citizens became dissatisfied with this state of affairs, this feeling having been of many ye' standing. Finally memorials to the legislature failing, a convention of tbe peo ple was called and this delegate assembly took upon itself the task of drawing up a new constitution. Dorr was tbe leader and chief instigator of this movement. Tbe new constitution ' extended the right of suffrage to all male citizens over twenty-one who bad resided in tbe state one year. An election was held under this I ... . m 1 - as a constitution, anq a lau corps 01 omwra ana members of the Legislature were chosen. At this point the charter party denounced " e'ecnon, au ids ueKiiai.urB passeu aas j denouncing all such usurpations of power. Notwithstanding this, tbe Dorr government attempted in May to meet and organize in j Providence while the charter government mt t ! on the same day in Newport and passed an act declaring martial law and calling out the militia. 'Tbe governor then appealed to. tbe 1 president but he did not think the time had ! yet come for his interference. -At length tbe Dorr party attempted to seise the arsenal, but dispersed on the approach of the troops : of Governor King, and finally, after on more meeting the state troops, they dls. banded and Dorr fied from tbe state. He was afterward arrested, tried and sentenced for life in the penitentiary. The charge of the chief justice at this trial clearly deäned the power of courts to interfere with questions arising in contested election cases. It may be said, be remarked,, .that' he. Dorr, " really 1 believed himself to be the governor of the state, 1 and tu. 4 V. ttmrncrVirmt 'Tinder this da"x " -lc" ... - . . . . .1 . I 1 .. I .

Courts and juries do not count votes to determine whether a constitution has been adopted or a governor ' elected or not Courts take notioe, without proof offered from the ' bar, 'what - the ' constitution is or was, or who is or was governor of their own state - It . belongs 4 to the legislature to sxercisa this high duty. It is tbe legislature, in thfr exercise of its delegated authority, that counts the votes and declares whether a constitution be adopted or a governor elected or not, and vre cannot revise or reverse their acts In this' particular with; out .usurping their pewer', , ; That 'third term" talk won't be laughed down.

With party lines rigidly drawn, and the 'odium of, all Us unspeakable sins npon it, such a thing could not be dresmt of as a possibility. As things stand, -Mth with one party crumbling .away, and the other eager for resurrection, General Grant has the very best possible grounds to base his hopes upon. The veto of the financial measure advocated, by the Morton-Logan branch of the party has measureably removed1 General Grant from the constrainta 'which 'party councils. - might ? have - put , -upon him'.

Considering the Immense net work of roads crossing her territory in all directions and that the travel and commerce of the continent-pass over it on seven great; thoroughfares the number of serious casualties jmust be. in exceedingly small - ratio to .the trains 1 run. A few . fatal accidents 1 may be ; called ' to mind, notably s 'one , la.t fail ', on ,' the Junction road caused by the fallen trees. But in that no passengers 'were hurt, only two brave officers being 'killed ." r But take tbe complete record of the number ot trains and travelers and it will be found that the railway travel within the .borders of this state, for safety.' Is a strong vindication of tbe care and efficiency with which the busi ness is managed and a proof of the excel lence of the management of the Indiana röads. ; V. It is likely tbe public are scarcely f conscious - bow much 1 confi dence tbey feel . in tbe competency of railroad men. Without confessing it to themselves, tbey generally regard tbe managers of railroads .as among the ablest and foremost of business menwhich in fact they are. 'But even going outside of Indiana's good fortune and judging from the absence of any great railroad disastersor some time past, there has been a marked improvement in. the' I conduct' of', American'' rail-roads.--During .that , period of criminal carelesFuess ' In which', so-many hundreds of lives were lost, ' our "1 system of railroad management was subjected to many severe criticisms by the press, and. its deficiencies and criminal 'neglect were most 'bnmiliatIngly compared to . the ' European. Tailroads caul especially to those 4 of England "1 These general and popular discussions have undoubtedly done pinch to Improve the conduct of railroads, and to-ilay they will compare favorably with. -) any: iEuaopean railroads., 'Indeed.he highly praised English railroad rnianagemeut' soemV .to ;bave fallen into a' strangft experience of fatality since, during tbe last month, no less than sixteen railroad acrjdents ' occurroiV in that country., Whether this peculiar interchange of experience is simply a coincidence or not, is, difficult to say; but that the general railroad ' management , of "J.'f.bis country has greatly improyedl within tbe last feW years cannot be- doubted; while along With Increased safety there has been a con ntant improvement in the, conditions of comfort and convenience in railroad cars as is evidenced by the late introduction of the Pullman cars into England, and France. So that at the present time, American railreads may be said to be superior in every xeepeci to (hose of any other nation.

In the first place, tbe state board have made' arrange - ments to pay tor their advertising precisely as any other busifiess pays.!i They will use their discretion, as to the amount of adver tising done, but will undoubtedly endeavor to make all reading .people acquainted, with the attractions of the exposition.' Tbe complaints of the country press which were some what general but year, will not have any Just groundfor repetition this year. Let that be understood., l7 the 'o!d 'croakings are beard from anv quarter they will be udsustained by good reasons. .As to the second allegation, the property of the state board of agriculture ia not tbe stock of ä corporation operated for the benefit of stockholders. , It is true thmt several public-spirited gentlemen last year took a large amount of stock in the deficits of the exposition and paid them out of , their private funds. . There are also some debts remaining to ;be paid. . The managers will consider themselves happy it this great sobool of industry can . be made self-supporting, by- the? strictest , business oversight and economy. Any insinuations of personal advantage to any person except such a are furnished with .employment is doing the ; board great injustice, . It . is devoutly 5 to .-be hoped ithat. no such malignant passions will be manifested from any quarter this year. The state board of agriculture is composed of a body of men selected from Indiana's best-dtizens and entirely outBl Je of Marion county The object for which they, are organized,' and , to which they devote a great amount of time, care sod labor, is the promotion of successful industry, and thereby the prosperity of tbe state. What they have done already in a history of twenty-two years, ( is an overwhelming justification bf .their efforts. ' No true friend of the state of Indiana, of her people and - her prosperity will be Jound casting, a straw in their way from any sordid prejudice oxf, selfish Interest. It will be time enough , to raise objections when they have been found in any point unfaithful to tueir trusts, or. corrupt in management.' - But np te this date no such charge can be 'made. Probably it will be some time before ; there will te occasion ior it. : . ; r . t One by one the party corner stores cramble, away.. iThe latest . pillar which wheels out ot organic trace, is the Courier ol Evansvilla, an able and interesting journal, hitherto . soundly democratic ; Basing an article on tbe Sentinel, the Courier says: Home months ago the Sentinel announced that it would henceforth be independent in politics. Its editors and proprietors, no doubt, like ourselves, had been annoyed by the Interference of certain members of the party, with tbeir business and opinions, and found that there was no way to escape tbe persecutions of that class other than to declare war upon iU Its editors observed, we suppose, that the men who were the most impertinent and Insolent In tbeir suggestions as to the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, were the men who contributed nothing to Its support, and, almost without exception, were odious in the extreme to the respectable 1 members of the party: It, therefore, took tbe only course self-respect and manhood left open to It, It declared that the ben Lin el should exercise tha same rixuu to the expression of Its opinions,

T'l rf i : - Some valuable and interesting facts are brought to light by the recent report of the Massachusetts Board of Health, In relation to the farming population ef tbat- state. Of the nationality of tbe farmers tbe percentage) is V2o American, showing : the "beredltarr ,nf na" .? .th!,Y" n? iT " füItUral lire" be ; a; matter of . surprise to most neoDlethat according to the census of Jj70 the "value of farm products is greater, both per farm and per acre, in Massachusetts" than in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan or Minnesota. This , faot la explained satisfactorily . by the proximity of that state to the best markets. As to longevity the farmers seem' to rest In the favor of the gods, the ; average ; age ; being 65.13 years or 14.19 years more than tbe average of all the professions. : From a )Un-v ited number of answers of correspondents it It found that tbe greatest causes .tending to injure the health of farmers and their families are, ."overwork,' exposure," "Improper diet," '.'sanitary defects' "want oC ventilation,'" "overwork among ' women . etc All those might be justly included under the one deficiency, "not knowing bow to 'live.w " As " to" the farmers wives 'and children the report shows that they are not so well off as . tbe lords themi selves, and this to the former class seems to come almost wholly from over-work at tbe worst seasons. In brief, the report- shows that the farmer is his own,' worst enemy; wLiqh perhaps might be said Of all men la those things which pertain ' toc health ! and material prosperity. " ' ' ,- i ' ' ' ' An avalanche of thieves and roughs more rapulsive, ' if less destructive, than' the' floods baa fallen upon the desolated places of Massachusetts. Pimps,- bruisers,, pickpockets, robbers and desperadoes bare swarmed to the scene ot the disaster to steal and , plunder both the dead and tbe living. Even Baltimore, New, ;York and Boston sent recruits of .villains, who filled the trains and made travel to the place both dangerous and disgusting. . An extra force ol police is required to be xn duty, and In additioa a company or armed militia have been called out and put on duty for the protection of the scattered and smitten victims, who, being made defenceless by the j elements, are now assailed by tbe more de-' testable enemies of tbeir own kind. Thousands of dollars worth of property have been carried off as plunder because it was scattered over the earth. Trunks belonging to the factory girls have been broken open, when found, and nothing has been sacred ia tbe eyes of the human Jackals.
