RELIGIOUS.
Reformed Protestant Synod—IT. Y. Baptist Association.
NEWARK, N. J., June 8.—The Synod of the Protestant Reformed Church yesterday received Rev. D. Wesner, delegate from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, who bore salutations of that body and aUuded to the recent re-union. He also announced the General Assembly had considered the orthodoxy of the reformed church,, decided that the use of the Heidelberg catechism was not inconsistent with pure Calvinism, and had taken other actions to pave the way for the union of the two churches.
The President of the Synod replied cordially, hoping a union would be effected, and rejoicing that the Churches now, instead of searching for heresey, did all in their power to secure harmony and unity.
In the evening the Synod heard addresses on domestic missions, and remarks were made by Rev. J. H. Ballagh, Japanese missionary, Ezekiel Scudder, of East India, on the progress of their missions. Members of the Synod to-day attended the laying of the corner stone of the Clinton Avenue Reformed Church.
NEW YORK, June 8.—Theanniversary meeting of the New York Baptist Association took place at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church yesterday. Twenty churches were represented. Rev. H. W. Pendleton presided.
Rev. Mr. Westcott, who has been doing mission work in Mexico, was among the speakers. He said a great change had taken place in the religious faith of cultivated Mexicans. French infidelity had with them supplanted Romanism. An astonishing flood of French infidel literature has overrun Mexico. It is especially found in the offices of lawyers and the other leaders of thought.
Rev. Mr. Hodge said that the strongest appeals made to the Baptists now, come from the Chinese and Spaniards. The principal business transacted was at the evening session, when it was resolved that the Association should withdraw from further co-operation with the New York City Mission and Tract Society, and support missions of its own.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, June 8. SENATE.
Mr. Ferry presented a memorial from Mr. Hatch, setting forth that his rights as an American citizen have been violated in his unjustified arrest, imprisonment and sentence to death by Dominican authorities, and that his release was prevented by the interposition of General Babcock, an officer of the United States army, who was acting as commissioner for the annexation of San Domfngo.
Mr. Ferry commented upon the case, asserting that General Babcock had stated that the imprisonment of Mr. Hatch was necessary to prevent him divulging in Washington certain objections to the ratification of the Dominican treaty. In truth if this assertion was shown, General Babcock deserved to be no longer an officer of the United States.
Mx*. Sumner said he ought to be cashiered at once. Mr. Ferry moved reference of matter to the Committee on Foreign Relations, with instructions to send for persons and papers. '.*•? -14
Mr. Cliandleif said Mr. Hatch was a troublesome, worthless scoundrel, who without any authority had given a certificate to a ship of war to leave the port of San Domingo to prey up the Dominican government, and in various ways to co-operate with the rebels. He thought the great mistake of that government was that they had not executed him.
Mr Ferry said Mr. Hateh was a resident of the town in which he himself lived. He knew liim, and would trust to his honor and integrity as quickly as he would trust the Senator from Michigan.
After the exceedingly vile language of the gentleman, it was necessary a word should be said in defense of Mr. Hatch. He proceeded to show by authority that the statement of Mr. Chandler would be proven unfounded.
Mr. Sumner considered the question not a personal one, but as involving the graver question of the attempt of an army officer to negotiate a treaty of the United States, and for that purpose lending himself to a machination to keep an American citizen in prison.
Mr. Nye objected to reference to the Committee on Foreign Relations, of which Mr. Sumner was chairman, in view of that Senator's assertion that Gen. Babcock should be cashiered at once. That language was unbecoming any man who was to sit as a Judge upon the case, as it committed him against the accused in advance of a hearing.
Mr. Sumner said his remark implied a consideration of all the facts in the case.
Mr. Nye moved to refer the ^matter to a special committee of five, to be appointed by the chair.
The Vice-President desired to be released from making the appointments. Several Senators objected, Mr. Morton remarking it had been the invariable custom of the chair to appoint.
Mr. Carpenter wanted a full investigation, but not from a committee that had prejudiced the case. He thought this a fit opportunity for some investigation by the chairman of that committee, into the wrongs upon American citizens in Cuba.
Mr. Thayer was not to be drawn into a crusade against an officer of the Government. He felt confident that officer would come out of the investigation unscathed, and the charge be proven unfounded.
Mr. Scottjsaid ifinformation of the conduct of figents of the President of the United States was needed, some other means of obtaining it should be resorted to. If the Senate required further light for its guidance in ratifying the treaty, it migli obtain it more readily than by this indirect way of assailing the President.
After further discussion, Mr. Sumner said he preferred reference to a special committee, and suggested to make the number of the committee seven.
The suggestion was accepted by Mr. Ferrv, when the motion for a special committee of seven was adopted without a division. ..
The Indian appropriation bill was proceeded with. Mr. Patterson, a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, denied that the Chairman (Mr. Sumner) was the be all and end all of that committee, and reminded the Senator from Wisconsin that each member of that committee had a judgment of his own upon every measure before them. As to the San Domingo treaty, he believed, they were nearly equally divided, two and perhaps three members beiug favorable to it. He protested against the injustice inflicted upon the Foreign Committee.
Mr. Carpenter inquired what was the injustice complained of. Mr. Patterson replied that it was the remark of Mr: Carpenter and others, that the committee had committed itselr upon the Dominican treaty, when the committee had uttered not a word concerning it.
Mr. Drake objected to placing investigation in the hands of the Foreign Committee, as possibly leading to a double
TERRE HAUTE, INI)., Til I!KSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 9, 1870.
purpose impeachment of Gen. Babcock and defeat of the Donicician treaty. Mr. Sumner defended the Committee from the assault made upon it. The case was one of an American citizen sweltering in a tropical prison to carry out the machinations of an American officer. He referred to the composition of the committee on Foreign Relations as proof of its integrity, and, intimated that public reports in connection with the subject demanded attention.
HOUSE.
Mr. Sargent introduced a bill to amend the act of May 30, 1863, for survey and sale of public lands, by providing that money deoosited for survey shall be credited as part payment for lands. Passed.
Mr. Hay, from Committee on Invalid Pensions, reported a bill to amend the supplementary pension act of July 16th, 1863, by providing that persons who lost the sight of both eyes, both hands or both feet, in the service, if so disabled as to require permanent aid or attendance of other persons, shall be paid arrears of pension from the passage of that act to the date of their disability, at the rate of $25 per month passed.
Mr. Paine introduced a joint resolution directing the Secretary of War to transfer to the National Asylum for disabled soldiers in Milwaukee, six pieces of condemned ordnance, to be placed in the soldier's cemetery there passed.
Mr. Negley, from "Conference Committee on supply of artificial limbs to disabled soldiers, "made report, which was agreed to.
Mr. Fitch had read an article from tho Washington Star commenting on a re cent correspondence in the New York Evening Post, implicating him iu the matter of professed disclosures as to the corrupt use of Cuban bonds, and stated that so far as he was concerned it was an unmitigated falsehood, and the author a wicked and cowardly liar. He called upon the Chairman of the sub-commit tee to investigate the subject, and state whether any evidence had been presented tending to implicate him in any manner.
Mr. Butler, Chairman of the sub-com-mittee, said there was no evidence whatever to implicate the gentleman from Nevada in any improper transaction in relation to Cuba or anything else.
Mr. Fitch added that he did not know and never met the alleged agent in the transaction, N. B. Taylor, and had never met or conversed with anybody who was connected with the Cuban Junta, or with the movement for Cuban independence, until after he had made a speech in the House in favor of the movement, after which he had been called upon by some gentlemen who -thanked him for the words he had said. No man who had called on him had insulted him by intimating that in the event of the success of that government he should expect anything but their gratitude and regard.
The purpose of this lie was as obvious as the lie itself. In a few days the H»use was to act on the question, whether or not Spain was to be helped to crush Cuba, and it has been conjectured by members of the Spanish embassy that if such slanders could be circulated against such members, some gentlemen might be afraid to express their sentiments on the subject, so they went to the cost of a dinner, or of a $5 bill to somebody, to send out the first note of slander. He expected the whole pack would be yelping in chorus, on Monday. So far as his own action was concerned, he would deem himself recreant to his duties and manhood if he allowed the cry of a pack of hungry coyotes to swerve him, at any time, from speaking what his tongue had to say in behalf of a people struggling for liberty.
The House then resumed the consideration of the currency bill. Mr. Ingersoll advocated the measure of circulating medium, and protested against resuming specie payment while the country was a debtor Nation. The idea of specie payment was a delusion, cheat and fraud. He hoped the people of the United States would see that no State bank, or private bank, should ever be organized on a specie basis.
Mr. Allison offered an amendment reducing the proposed new issue from 90,000,000 to 55,000,000.
Mr. Randall argued that this is not the time for pressing the bill, and said he would move to postpone it. He advocated an amendment he had offered authorizing the issue of $300,000,000 in greenbacks, and exemption and cancellation of an equal amount of national bank notes. The circulation should be all greenbacks, and if we had, specie payments would have been reached before this time.
Mr. Burchard moved to afiaend by inserting an additional amendment requiring national banks to keep in coin, or in coin certificates, interest falling due on bonds deposited in the treasury, until the reserve required to be kept shall consist wholly of coin or coin certificates.
Mr. Coburn thought this not the time for any radical changes in the currency. All that was asked was an increase in currency, so as to supply a fair distribution of it to sections at present destitute. Distribution should be on the basis of population. He argued the 14th section of the bill did not actually increase circulation $95,000,000, but only $57,000,000. That was owing to a peculiafity in the banking law. He declared no more radical measures of contraction could be adopted than the pending bill, and therefore, it could never obtain his assent.
His proposition was ^redistribute $50,000,000, and issue $44,000,000 of greenbacks in place of 3 per cent, certificates now used as reserve. This would save the Government $3,500,000 a year. He favored the adoption of the first section without any of the succeeding sections, and the increase of circulation would be only $57,000,000, and then the South and West would still have less circualtion than before the war.
Mr. Hotchkiss opposed the section for the issue of 4§ per cent, bonds, but approved the section authorizing the establishment of National banks and issue of specie payment notes, regarding it an approach to resumption.
Mr. Townsend was particularly opposed to the fifth section, requiring banks to surrender their 6 per cent, bonds and take instead of them 4J per cent, bonds as a basis of circulation. He conceived it a matter of bad faith toward these effective and wonderful institutions.
Mr. Garfield, chairman of the Banking Committee, by direction of the Committee, and as a matter of comity toward the Committee on Ways and Means, moved to strike out the funding sections of the bill, sections 3, 4, and 5, and allow all bank circulation issued on bonds now existing or that may hereafter be.
Mr. Stevenson said the amendment just offered by the chairman of the Banking Committee, refuted his first and chief objection to the bill. He argued in favor of expansion rather than contraction, if they could not advance tbey would not retract.
Mr. Holman expressed conviction that the bill would fail, and condemned the National banking system, declaring that the whole machinery of the Government seemed in its interest, no Government had ever shown so much favor to capital and so much indifference to labor as the United States Government within the last ten years. The bill he believed was another movement in the interest of capital.

NEW YORK.
Heavy Fraud—$300,OOO Obtained.
NEW YORK, June 8.—Another fraud came to light yesterday. A man creditably known to several houses in Wall street bought of them 5.20 bonds to the amount of $35,000—$10,000 from each of three houses and $5,000 from a fourth house. In payment he offered checks that proved to be worthless. Frank & Gains, one of the houses from whom he obtained $10,000 bonds, have advertised that they were fraudulently obtained. The swindler was a member of a tobacco house in Water street. The check given Frank & Gains was on a chemical bank of the swindler in Water street, in possession of the Sheriff's officers.
Rumor says the individual has swindled tobacco merchants out of $200,000.
MASONIC.
Magnificent Display in New York Yesterday—10,000 in Procession.
NEW YORK, June 8.—The grand procession of Free Masons, this morning, was in every respect a decided success, the weather glorious, and the ground under foot pleasant for walking. The column formed i» 10 divisions, the right resting on Fitth avenue, at 8 o'clock, and marched through Fifth avenue from 23d to 46th street, through Sixth avenue to 34th street, and Fifth avenue to 23d street, when the right of the column halted, and the marshals opened their several divisions.
The ceremonies of laying the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple then commenced. The different Lodges, with their insignia and banners, presented a splendid appearance' as they marched through the streets, and excited the admiration of the assembled multitude, which lined the streets along the line of march. The procession is considered the finest display by the Masonic order ever witnessed in this city. More than 40,000 participated in it.

A JUDGE of the Supreme Court was telling a few days ago about some inordinate fees which counsel had received, within his knowledge. For example David Duldey Field received $300,000 from the Erie Railroad. Wm. M. Stewart was paid $25,000 cash by the Gould Curry silver mine, aud so many feet of the ore, which, altogether, netted him $200,000. Jeremiah S. Black received $60,000, from the New Alexander mine, and, a few months ago, he sued them for $75,000 in addition, and received judgment. Wm. M. Evarts has been paid $25,000 for defending Andrew Johhson, and his annual income is $125,000. He recently charged $5,000 tor one speech, which occupied 80 minutes.
HENRY W. RAYMOND, son of the deceased editor of the New York Times, is reported to be about to marry Miss Nelly Hutchinson, the lively little reporter of the Tribune.

IT is no secret that the Czar is mad— medically mad—and that he is unfit to reign. He is the victim of a strange illusion. He supposes himself to have murdered his father. Czar Nicholas, who died so unaccountably, and so opportunely during the Crimean war and Alexander II. thinks he sees the old gentleman's ghost, and is as much annoyed as Hamlet was when his paternal parent made night hideous by his impolite practice of revisiting the glimpses of the moon.
THERE is a rumor that Queen Victoria has become matrimonially inclined, and is, indeed, affianced to a foreign Prince of the blood royal, but without fortune. The English papers do not feel inclined to accept the report, but give a little general advice on the subject, to the effect that there are plenty of rich peers in England, "all honorable men," from whom the Queen might select more appropriately— unless she intends to abdicate in favor of the Prince of Wales, in which case she might marry whom she chose.
OUR readers will be glad to learn that Miss Alice Cary, whose long and severe illness has been so frequently alluded to in the public journals, is now so much better as to encourage a hope of her ultimate recovery. Her power of endurance is a marvel to all her friends. With a constitution for many years impaired, she has in the last few months triumphed over a weight of physical pain that would have proved fatal to many a strong man. Her mind, in spite of bodily suffering, has been constantly unclouded and vigorous. Let us hope that ere long she will be able to resume her pen.—JV. Independent.
THE Pope and one branch of the Presbyterian Church, says a Baltimore paper, have identically the same estimate of secret societies, and labor alike to put them under the ban of the church. At the late synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church a resolution was passed declaring such associations to be "ensnaring in their natures, pernicious in their tendencies, and perilous to the liberties of both church and State," this language being almost exact with that of a recent Papal bull.

PANIC PRICES!
1 have associated with me in the gen
HOUSE FURNISHING BUSINESS, DAVID C. EAST,
who has long been head salesman in my Store, and as our entire Stock has been purchased within the last thirty days, during the
Panic in Eastern Cities,
enables us to sell Goods at lower rates than was ever sold in this market, and we are determined to do business on the plan of
"QUICK SALES AND SMALL PROFITS."
In the future do not think of Purchasing elsewhere any Crockery, Glassware, Knives, Forks, Spoons, Wood \nd Willow Ware, Gold Band and White China, and House Furnishing Goods generally, until you call and see our Mammoth Stock of the latest styles and patterns at Reduced Prices.
