and tilings and churchoa and sermons, and so whoa I was cauod to my present on argo 11 was muo. ate in me, I think, to oak from Dr. Budington the right hand of welcome. That hand of welcome he never re voked. His traits of character came out more conspi nn ninanr AnnunintaDCO.

HO WAS pre nminmiilv rinvnut man. There was no vlolKit ith him i ntwnnn the secular and tha crfli1. Morn than anv other man I ever knew ho understood and followed tho injunction, "Pray without ceasing." I was struck increasingly as years went on with the Christian gentlenoBS of his ue tin thn command bo courteous, though his courtesy had iu it no apparent study, but waa tho real man coming out. Every ouo who know him best has been struck with his justice rather than generosity. He wad a good lover and also a good hater In the sense of hating that which was wrong.

Ho waB a man of unflinching courage. It waa tha courage of deliberate whole souled conviction. Ao matter what It cost him ho always adhered to the right. He had a feeling of perfect security in every danger because he knew himself to be on the side ot God. The magnitude of our loss 1b to day the measure of our conflation.

Let us thank God we shall sea Mm again and our hearts shall delight. BEY. DR. BTORIiS, tho next speaker, said: It will not be thought strange that I should say a few wordB hero. My acquaintance with Dr.

Budington began many years ago, and early ripened into affection which was never interrupted Since his death was announced things havo seemed changed. Tho muaio of his cordial and animating voice is gone. I remember tho pleasure with which he showed me the Latin line which the Dean of Canterbery left to bo inscribed on Mb tomb in the Church of St. Martin's: "The resting placo of a traveler on his way to Jerusalem was the translation, and I Bhall ovor romombor tho words. When he returned from the scenes he had witnessed in the Holy Land none of us will forget the impassioned utterances in which he told of what he saw.

I bade him good by when he left; Ibid him good by now, just as sure that I shall see him hereafter. Can we not imagine the joy with whioh he will tell us of those scones celestial? No, I do not bid htm farewell, but only good by for a timo. His influence, will be with us who knew him. He restB from hie laborB; rests forever in a serene and supreme tranquillity which we cannot prefigure, and tho fullness of which he only knows. His works follow with him not merely in the remembrances of them which he carries with him to tbo sky, though how great they are all of us can tell.

Ho was lofty, consecrated, um el flsh, Chrlstliko. We enter into sympathy with Christ through some sudden elevation ot a aeliguieu unrisi, or through a sorrow bringing us nearer to uoa.

He was a man of the moat ardent doslro to Know tho truth, to honor righteousness; 01 a proiouna ssnso of spiritual things of such a sympathetic nature that no one came into contact with him without being inspired.

He waa like a cloud he niovod completely if he moved at all. His soul was filled with sweetness with loftiness ho walked with God. His mind came upon the minda of other men with a swilt impact born of conviction, and which always moved thorn, in the church, iu tho city, in all the community which ho touched, his influonco waa felt. His very conversation will bo remembered. How eager he was how enamored of interchange of thought.

He found hearers who rejoiced to hear him. His sermons pulsated with the life that was in him. They had tho same otrong, rich personality. Who will ovor forget his closing speech at the meeting of the Amerioau nosrd nlno vears nffo There was not ono heart that did not rise with the rapture ho inspired in it not an eye unsutlusea wltu tears, lou au ion mi no was a man of clear convictions and yet of catholic mind. He was as tender as he was heroic.

Kindly and kingly, his power in this church la ana Bnau bo great for years to como. Ho will bo in this pulpit still. Tho ministry of your coming pastor will, I doubt not, bo long and honorable and successful, but the memory of him who has gono will givo Ma words additional weight. In every circle in which he appeared his influence will be felt, it will bo a power in the city when few will remain who remember his commanding and majestic bearing. A good life nover dies.

About half past eleven o'clock List evening, Eskel Drear60n, a flagman on the Atlantic avenue Kail. road, waa assaulted by six men, throo of whom havo been orreted. The motive of the assault was robbery, Drcaraon having yesterday morning received his weekly wages. The scene of the attack was the corner of Utlea and Atlantic avenues, where, ior tho past livo uioiilhs, Drearson has been stationed as flagman. His duties compelled him to remain out of doors until midnight, and as tho neighborhood is very lonesome, he usually carried a club with which to protect himself in case of attack.

The rapid transit train that loaves East New Vork at eleven o'clock had pasb'etl Uuica avenuo on its way to Flatbush avenuo, when Drearson noticed a party of six young men coming up Utlea to Atlantic avenuo. Their conversation was loud and viie. ami it is alleged that all were somewhat under tho influence of liquor. Approaching Drearson, one of tho number, named Warren Ilabacher, of 1,720 Dean street, taunted him about his appearance, the other members of the gang joining in, and using obscene language. Drearson kopt his temper.

The membors of tho gang hold a whispered conversation, aud finally all rushed at him. llo defonded himself againHt tho attack for several minutes with his club, but at last, fell to the ground from exhaustion.

About two o'clock on Saturday morning lot tw pistol shots were discharged through tho window of a front room of the house designated above. There was nn person iu that part of the house at the timo. On the following day the occupants, who comprise Mrs.

Mngdaluna Bopp, a widow, aud her three daughters, found two bullots embedded in the side wall, opposite to the window through which thoy had passed. From tno direction pursued by tho bullets It was apparent that thoy had been discharged from a vacant lot across the street from Mrs. Bopp's dwelling. A man living uoxt door to the widow, hoard the shooting aud had immediately raised his window discover the author, if possihio, and the cause of the discharge. Ho could not see any person about the vicinity, howov er, and concluded that soino person in tho next streot had been aiming at a cat in the Jots, where numbers ot the foliuo tribe had been wont to congregate nightly.

Mrs. B01T and her daughters held au entirely diiler ent opiniou. as to the CAUSE OF TUB SHOOTINd. Her second oldest daughter, whese name is Sarah, had been tho unwilling recipient of attentions from the young follow Dietz.

Sinco that time. Sarah says that a lottsr to Dietz. purporting to have been written by her, has been shown round by hor admirer as proof that fiho had not always despised him. Because of that and other measures taken with alleged intent to annoy the young girl, tho Bopp family came to suspect that Dietz had been concerned in the shooting. The police of tha Sixth Precinct wero consulted by Mrs.

Bopp, at whoso request Detectives Euuis aud Campbell were delegated to work up the cae. As the ofllcers lay quietly in wait for something to turn up last night, they discovered that stones were being thrown at Mrs. Bopp's dwelling by parties concealed behind the fence of the vacant lots already referred to, A Brnail boy, in passing along the street, had also been asked by tho persons lu hiding to cross the roadway and kick tho house door. The ofurirs succeedod in scaling the fence beore tha two young men on the inner eido had become aware that their capture was impending, aud promptly secured Dietz and his companion. Tho prisoners, each for himself, denied having been concerned in the Saturday night shooting alfair.

Dietz is known to have been out until a late hour on Saturday night. A hat found iu tho ot after daylight is said to have belongod to Dietz, but this he denies.

MATTHEWS' LUTHERAN CHUKCH. Continuation of the Dedicatory Exerciser. Last evening the dedicatory exercises of St. Matthow's English Lutheran Church were continued in tho church corner of Clinton aud Amity streets. Rev.

A. I. Lyman, pastor of the South Congregational Church, preached a sermon from Romano ix: 10 "Who hath resisted his will." Mr. Lyman's sermon was the introduction to a series to he preached during the weok by tho pastors of neighboring churches, significant of their good wishes to tho church which haB just taken possession of its new edifice. The great leaders of Christian thought, said Mr.

Lyman, had all stood on Paul's granite basiB an nude, viatlng faith in the providence of God. This was the doctrine not inappropriate to lift up as a flag at the gateway of that new era through which they as a church were about to march. The hiBtory of the church was better known to the hearers thau to the speaker. They knew how thoy had persistod in maintaining tho worship dear to their hearts. They kuew how iu the widening city, amid the strife of sects, thoy had remained by tho ark of their covenant, moving with it when it moved, and kneeling beside it when it fell.

Iu the name of tho Congrogational churches he gave them the right hand of fellowship, as ho did their pastor. Mr. Lyman turned and shook hands with Dr. Hamma.J The preacher assured them of his best wishes. They had recognized it waa the providence of God that had helped them, and opened to them this gato of deliver anco.

This flag he would place over that gate the doctrine of the eternal providence of God. This evening tho Rov. Thoodoro L. Cuylor, D. pastor of the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian Church, ia to proach at 7:15.

A note wao shown in evidence which it was claiinod had been sent by Mrs. Preston to Boynton ask ing hlni to como to the home, saying that grandmother would not be ot home and "not to drink anything It was claimed that the note was uot written by Mra. Pres ton, but by her daughter Mary, who was examined for tho prosecution yesterday. It was also nhown that upon a previous occasion Preston had had Borne difficulty with his wife, but it did not appear until this morning what tho difficulty was.

This morning a man named Crunmey, a sailor, who was iu the house No. Ms DeKalb avenue on tho nppor floor wheu the shooting occurred, waa exrmiuod. He rushed downstairs when ho heard tho pistol shots and into the apartment, and found the two men struggling on the floor of the bedruoni. Boynton was uppermost and was TOUNDINO ritESTON's HEAD against the floor. Mrs.

Preston was standing by and holding a pistol. Ilo took it from her aud told Boyn ton with an oath to let up or ho would "blow his brains out." lloyutou got up and the three men went downstairs, where they mot a policeman, who took Preston ami Boynton into custody.

He had aeon Boynton going into the house at 11 or o'clock at night, and waa fron nently about the placo during tho day. The witness said his own room was on tho samo floor as tho rooms occupied by Mrs. Preston, aud that after the shooting ho heard Boynton aud Mrs. Preston talking and laughing about it.

Ho saw Boynton go out of tho houso at 5 o'clook the next morning. The rolations between Mrs. Preston and Boynton wore tho subject of talk and gossip in the noigbborhooi), and it was for that reason that he gave Mrs. Proston and Boynton notico to leavo. Mrs.

Amelia Preston, a widow of a docoased brother of the accused, was also examined, and testified to tho accident which iujurod Preston's head when a lad. She was present at the time It occurred and knew of tho subsequent FITS AN'D TROUBLES with his head, severe headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, c. He was a man who was very kind by naturo. She knew of tho former troublo with his wite, but did not desire to speak of it. She had not visited Mrs.

Preston above half a dozen times, becauso she did not desiro to do so. John II. Preston, tho accused, was next examined. He testified that ho was 42 years old and was married when about 21 years old. Ho lived very happily with wife until their nr3t dlfliculty, which occurred wheu they wera living in Hobokon.

He caught a man in her room and she confessed that eho had committed adultery. A suit for divoace was begun, but at her earnest outreaty for forgiveness for the sake of thoir children, lie forgave her and took her back.

They had always lovod him, and he had done his best to thorn happy. Boyntou firal made his acquaintance through coming to see a woman who waa doing some sowing for him. He boarded thero at Huiqm, but never paid any board, and ho (Preston) objected to the growing intimacy aud partiality which his wife showed for Boyntou, and two or three times ordered him away. Preston denied tho story of his daughter that ho offored her live dollars to get Boynton into a room so that ho could "fix him." After leaving his wifo he still continued to provido for hor, and offered to pay hor rent, give her six dollars a week aud all the marketing she wanted, if eho would have nothing to do with Boynton, but she refused to accept tho offer.

Ho had heard that Boynton was carrying a pistol to shoot hin, and so ho procured one. On the night of the of April, when the shooting occurred, he went down to No. 028 to see his' children, not knowing Boynton was thero, but when he saw him iu tho room ho was so angry ho fired tho threo shots at and thon Boyntou grappled with him and throw him to the floor.

Rfoscr. This morning Judge Gilbert granted judgment of absolute divorce in favor of tho plaintiff in the suit of Martha Moser against Max Moser. Tho causo was referred to Counselor David Williams who duly reported. The decroe allows the plaiutiff to marry, but denios the defendant that privilege during the Iifo of the plaintiff. Tho defendant is to pay costs, and tho plaintiff may apply hereafter for a suitable allowance, according to the altered circumstances of eithor party.

The story given by defendant's couiieoI is interesting and curious. Defendant was the son of a rich banker of IJorton, and came here clandestinely with plaintiff, who was under 18. Thoy were married, aud defendant opened a cigar store In tho Bowery, Now York. It is alleged that ho discovered letters written by his wife which showed her infidelity. He sued her for absolute divorce and got a decro in his favor.

A motion waB made to vacate tho judgment on tho ground of the girl's minority, and a stay was procured. Meantime Moser becrme wealthy by tho death of his father. He started business as a broker iu Philadelphia, and subsequently returned to Germany to uianao the business of his late father.

3. Williams and Patrolman T. Fleming for damages for assault aud battery, a motion by the defondant to charge the venuo from Brooklyn to New Yi.rk wa 4 yesterday afternoon mado beforo Judgo Oiibort. As a public official, Captain Williams had a right, under the statuto, to havo the cause tried in New York County. He ought to have served on the plaintiff when the summons tvss served, an application to have tho venue changed in accordance with the statute, and then if the plaiutiff had refused, a motion would have been in order to compel him to change the placo of trial.

Having failed to follow the course pointed out by the Code, he is held to have waived his right, and tho motion yesterday was based solely on tho ground of convenience of witnesses. The courts in this city consider this of no Importance, as the facilities for bringing witnesses hither from New York are all that could be desired, and the chances of a speedy trial ten times greater than lu New York. Judge Gilbert denied the motion. For plaintiff, Morria Pearsall; for defendant, W. C.

Cellars Flooded and Much Excitement in the Neighborhood. About ouo o'clock this afternoon break occurred in the 48 inch wafer supply pipe on Atlantic avenue, corner Fourth, and the water rushed out with tromondoiiB force, spouting up into the air for a height of several feet. Great excitement ensued in tho neighborhood, and a police officer, who was standing opposite when the torrent welled from the earth, hurried to the Tenth Precinct Stotion House, close by, and a telographic messago waH sent to Eolice Headquarters announcing the acoident. The Water Purveyor's Department was promptly no tified, and Mr. Petor Mile, tho Purveyor took quick stepB to have the damage repaired as quickly as possible and the adjoining neighborhood saved from a seri ous inundation.

For that purpose John P. Short, tho foreman of the pipe yard, and. as large a force of men as could bo hastily summoned, went to the spot and began to work on the break. Tho main which burst was the one which supplied tho entire Western District, and when this was shut off, tho water was directed to tho other main in DcKalb avenue. Tho water had been flowing ina torrent for noarly an hour, and the culvert Boon becoming choked, it poured down tho streets adjoining, and overflowing Into the houses in Its track, flooded basements and cellars, causing considerable damage.

Tho sudden stoppage of the water supply produced much oxcitemcut, aud there was a rush of anxious inquiries at tho Water Department to seo what could bo done or when relief would bo obtained. Traffic along Atlantic avenuo, between Fifth and Third avenues, was seriously interfered with, and there was a large crowd of spectators gathered in the neighborhood. Captain MacKellar and all his reBorvc from the Tenth Precinct were on duty, and did all that was possible to prevont the destruction of proporty aud prevont disorder. The burst will result in several thousand dollars loss. MUNICIPAL.

Controller Steinmetz on the Appropriation Necessary to Complete the Bridge. The Eighth Ward AldcrniaHsliip Paying the Taxes The Liberality of the Aldermen with the People's Money The Reappointment of Collector Tanner. The statement is nmde iu one of the morning nowspapera that the Rridge account of both cities has been overdrawn. That paper says that tho amount of expenditures and obligations by which the trusteos have excooded the Legislative limit of $8,000,000, cannot fall short of $2,000,000. Controller Steinmetz said to day that thoro did not appear to he any foundation for this statomont, but that an additional appropriation of between $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 would bo necessary to coinpleto tho liridgc according to the showing of tho trustee's themselves.

It is claimed by the latter that Brooklyn and New York uow owe them $320,000, ot which amount $405,000 would be due contractors and for other purposes, at tho close of the present year, as follows To complete sreel and iron contracts, about $lfV00 Labor aud niati rinl linnx) Sundry small cimtritets Land purchased and it paid tor 30.1HKJ Work ami niatoi'ial on aiiRcrstruat' iro 40. ioij Contingencies and other expenses Total $Viy0 Controller Stelnmetz's says that the additional appropriation will bo required for tho following purposes, according to the statements furnished him by tho TruBteoa I'Yir land not yet purchased For steel find iroa For labor For granite S12H.O 1. 1,130,000 Total Less surplus on llMid Jauuary 1 Additional sum roiiuirad tfjl.OIftWJO Mi'. Steinmetz is of the opiDion that the amount re to complete tho Bridge will be over two milions. Past experience forces him to that conclusion.

THE IBEKALITV OF THE AXDEHME.V. The Aldermen were in a liberal mood yesterday. They had Bettloa their differeuees about Dimon and tho Eighth Ward election and folt so good that thoy determined to Bhow what true friends thoy wero to tho poor workingnien. Having at their last regular meeting votod $1,300 for street repairs, thoy yesterday voted $10,000 more for a similar purpose, not only because the streets needed repairing, but becauso thero wore lots of poor laborers in the city out of work. They were not particular as to wliaxe the money came from as taitg.

as' It Uwjr directed the Controller to gjpc airy Jlnexpendetl bal anoes of 1878 9. It wnj Je ajjly shown by tho few Aldermen who opposed Job, that this was no season to do work of the kind, and that the streots if tampered with in cold weather, would bo left in worse condition than they aro now. Alderman Hacker sought to have tho Board of City Works state the namos of the streets which required repairing; but the advocates of the job coolly told him that tho Aldermen had no right to ask for snch information, and that all they had to do waB to appropriate tho monoy, leaving the Board of City Works to expend it as the Commissioners saw tit 1 It is probable that this job has progressed about bb far as it can progress. That Mayor Howell will veto the resnlutiou there is hardly any doubt. If he considered it his duty to veto an appropriation of $1,500 for extra clerical holp during tho ruBh In the payment of taxes, it is hardly possible that he would approve a measure which provides for an expenditure of such a largo sum of money in suoh a questionable Furthermore, it ap poars upon inquiry at the Controller's oiiice, that all the unexpended balances remaining on hand, exclusivo of the Department of City Works, would not amount to $10,000.

In tho Department of City Work's account there is a surplus to tho credit of tho account for street ighting, but this, it eeems has been applied for the reduction of the appropriation for gas for 1880. Any ar tept to take this money for Btreet repairs will be opposed. Tho regular street repair fund of the Board of City Works was exhausted some timo since. It was $00,000. The question has been raised that the Aldermen in making up the gas appropriation for 1880, had no right to apply the surplus of 1878, as that should go into the Sinking Fund.

COLLECTOll TANNER'S REAPPOINTMENT. The reappointment of Collector James Tanner is a severe blow to his old enemy, Alderman Fritz. Thero has been ill feeling existing between thoso gentlemen for Boveral years past, growing out of their political differences in the Twenty second Ward. Fritz has succeeded in boating Tanner at tho primaries and other ward contests, and has been so elated by his success that ho has been boasting that he would prevent the confirmation of Tanner's reappointment by the Mayor. He went through the ward recently shouting that he had Tanner beaten already, that he controlled enough votes in the Board of Aldermen to defeat any attempt at confirmation.

It turned out that the only vote he controlled waB his own, aud he did not apparently control that to the end, for when the "noes" were called for on the motion to confirm, there waB no response. He had previously moved to table the nomination and had the satisfaction of seeiog every other Alderman present vote against the motion. An old politician said this morning "Fritz's talk may carry him through tho ward, but whon it cornea down to like yesterday, lie ain't there." THE EIGHTH WARD ALDERMANSHIP, There is already groat interest felt among Democrats of the Eighth Ward, in reference to tho contest for Alderman, and now that the special election has been ordered for tbo 16th tho candidates and tbolr respective friends will begin work in earnest. The Eighth Ward is largely Democratic, and for that reason there are generally two or more candidates for Alderman or Supervisor, as the may be. At the recent election, the late Aidorman John ifclntyre was the regular candidate, and Patrlok McGowan ran as an independent Mr, Mclntyre waa elected by a email plurality.

The special elections ordered for )ho 16th are for the unexpired portion of the term of Mr. Mclntyre (tho present month) and for the full term of two years beginning on the first of January next. It is understood that Mr. McGowan will be a candidate again. Tho aspirants for the regular nomination aro James Weir, a florist, and Hobert F.

McKelhvr, who ia engaged in tho marble buslueBs, Tho Democratic General Committeo will meet to night and order tho primary for the nomination. Ex Alderman David 8. Arnott seotns to he the only candidato on the Republican Bide. Mr. Arnott ran at tho late election and will probably run again if thero shall he two Democrats in the field.

He will not be a candidate against one Democrat for tho simple reason that he cannot wln Mr. Arnott offers, in the event of his election, to donate his salary for two years to Mr. Mclntyre's widow, who is in reduced circumstances. It is said that the Democratic candidate, whoever he may be, will not only make a similar offer hut will deposit with Mrs. Mclntyre iu advance a check for $2,000, tho amount of the Aldermanlc Balary for two years.

PA.IKO THE TAXES. Tho total amount of taxes received yesterday, was as against $1,203,757 the first day last year. The large receipts on the first day last year wero owing to the fact that for over a fortnight previously, Collector Tanner had been sending bills to taxpayers, so that the latter wore not compelled to wait for their bills when they came to pay. This year, the confirmation of the tax rolls was delayed 0 long by the Aldermen that Mr. Tanner had no opportunity to send very many bills out, although he did manage to send soma.

This morning the lower corridor of tho Municipal Building was thronged by people waiting to pay, and a number of policemen were present to keep them in line. Collector Tanner said he considered tho receipts yeBtorday rsmarkably large under the circumstances. The olerks of the oflico kept employed until an early hour this morning, entering and checking the receipts in the books. ARREARS OF TAXES.

The most uoticeablo was a large pillow of white flowers hearing the word "Father" iu lrino violets.

It was a mark of affection irom the children of the deceased. Tho members of the choir contributed a floral harp. It was a i cry beautiful specimen of tha florist's handiwork, and with tho pedestal, was about four feot In height. Thero was also a miniature sheaf of wheat, emblematical of the gathering lu and binding up of the departed pastor's work, A portrait of the docoased, which usually adorns tho lecture room, was placed in a prominent positiou near tho pulpit, aud was draped with the emblem1! at mourning. As oarly as half past nine o'clock ladies and gontlo inen commenced to assemble at the church.

The doors were opened about ton and iu Iosb than half an hour nearly every seat iu the large edifice was occupied. Tho arrangements for seating the congregation wero iu charge of Messrs. Story, Comstock, Brown and Shep ard, who acted as ushers. Tho services wero announced to commence at eleven o'clock, and long before that hour tho church w3 dousoly crowded. Only those for whom seats had been reserved could bo thus accommodated, and all lata comers wore obliged to be content with standing room in tho aisles.

Among those present were, Rev. Henry Ward Boeoh er, Deacon Hutchisson, Rev. Wm. Brown, lato of Now ark; Rev. Dr.

The services commenced with an organ voluntary, which was played by Mr.

Brewer, organist of the church, as the bell was being tolled. When the casket was being borne up tho aisle tho congregation rose and remained standing until it had boon placed on tho podeBtsls in front of the pulpit, at the same time a funeral march was played by Mr. Henry Eyre Brown, organist of Plymouth Church, and tho sentences of the antt burial services wero chanted by tho choir. Rev. S.

Hunt then offered up a short prayer, after which liev. A. S. Lyman gave out tho hymn commencing Oh, cease, my wandering soul. On restless wing to roam All this wide world, to either pole, Hath uot for thee a home." It was Bung by the choir, consisting of Miss Sanger, soprano Mis3 Johnson, contralto Mr.

Jackson, tenor Mr. Brewer, organist, aud Mr. Wm. C. Baird, director and baritone.

Passages of Scripture bearing upon tho mysteries of death and the resurrection, aud selected from both the Gospels and Epistles, were read by liev. Mr. Kipp, formerly of the Bedford Roformod Church. ADDliESS BY Dll. CUYLER.

The liev. Theodore Cuyler then addressod the congregation. Ho said they had assembled in tho presence of tho house of God, but in tho presence of the slumbering man of God who had been his neighbor lor nearly twenty years. They had been bound together by ties of affection which rondered them not so much twin churches as one church, with denominational differences thin as paper. Others would Bpeak of his pulpit gifts and services at large.

Ho would speak of him simply as the shepherd of his flock. He was tho prince of pastors. He felt that his great hold here was the deep, unchangeable hold he had on the hearts of the people. His Idea of the church was a primitive one a flock a fold, a shepherd. Where the flock was the shepherd waa.

When crape was on the door he was there, not with the mere cold perunetionary duty, but with tears mingling with tears and heart joined to heart. How do you remember his gentle courtesy, his kind benignity 7 How ho won your ullOBt sympathy. He has reaped his reward. If he made himself ioveahle, you loved him. Your thoughts of him wore a perpetual full bloom, the fragrance of which sweetenod his dying chamber Three several times you released him from the pulpit.

Ah I how sweetly blossomed your perpetual faithfulness. I was with him on one of his journeys across the sea, and I can Bay honestly here that while I have known many men I never know a better man than William Ives Budington. To write a good sermon requires a fow houra to write a good example requires a lifetime. In his pulpit ho waB an example of supreme devotion to every lino of the life giving truths of heaven. He was a noble example oi loyalty in the pulpit, and before the public he was an example of holy conversation.

The last chapter has been written among tho toavs of his people. Tho last legacy was an oxampie of quiet patience. On Saturday morning whiio tho sands of (juje, yfre finking, the" 'dilwU heaven was breaking into his chamoef. For the closing' itoun 2a spirit seemed to be behind tho veil of bodily infirmity, and then he left the earthly tent his spirit going to that precious Jesus who died to save him. The city mourns and tho church mourns, yot rejoicing at such a life.

You will carry him out for the last timo under a sunny sky, but when he has gone hia uame will linger. You may go feeling that you are carrying ono of God's own. Bear him away gently, carry him lovingly. You are carrying a templo of the Holy Ghost. Earth's roads are short; Hoaven's road is long.

THE REV. J. CLEMENT FRENCH, next addressed; the congregation. He said When II saw that he had gone, my heart exclaimed "A Christian has been translated aud glorified." My counselor and friend, my Christian brother and father had reached the goidon gate. To a friend, as ho was about to depart, he said, "I am 6till in tho land of tho dying, but I am going to the land of the liviug." Could his lips have spoken but ono sentouco in his moment of transition thoy would have sealed tho faith of his life.

God Bome tlnios puts espocial emphasis on men. He underlines them, prints them in capital letters. ThlsmanofGodwas born to give strength and boauty to the cause. I need not stand here to paint his vlrtueB. It would seem like paiuting the sun.

This ohurcn, this gathered multitude wooed aud won through him to God, this city and tho whole land that have Mb fame in lasting keeping tell of his virtues. We have lost to day a dear friond and counselor. It is but for a short time, lie has entered into life. Do you not many of you remember tho last communion Bervice in thisohurch? His voice tremulous a little at Drat, Mb head bowed, but as the visions of nearing eternity seemed to hover about Uis soul, do you not remember the moro than terrestrial force whioh seemod to remind us that we ourselves aro on the oonilnes of another world We all knew that on that day there was a conquest by a loving bouI, never matched at Austerlitz. He was a conquerer then ho is a king now.

What means this drapery, these checked and choking sighs? Do they mean Borrow without hope 7 Nay, nay but they do mean profound grief that wo ehsll no longer Bee the radiauco of his face or hear the gladness of Mb voice. I would to God that a whole race of such man might rise up to magnify and honor tho eternal world oW Josns. i cannot tninn mat tuiB is nim bo still, so com. It is only tho olay.

Scudder gavo out the hymn: Rest for the tolling hand, Rest for tho weary brow, Rest for tho weary, wayworn feet, Rest from all labor now." It waB sung by Miss. Saugor to tho REV. WILLIAM F.

TAYLOB, of the Taboriidcld Church, New York, Ettid At last tho long agony la oyor fiur beloved brother is at vest. He has gone, aud yet it 4 with a sense of re lief that wo heard of his dopai tuVi.

H. II. Fit kkn HKic i Secretary, DitGOULYN Taiif Ilnaole, December 1, WHAT MAJOR COUWIS SAYS. An EAfir.K ronortar to day obtained from Major Cor win an idea of the meaning of tho trustees' declaration: have not yot noverod our connection with the Proabytery," Hflid tho truculent Major. This only a preliminary step, takun in orJer that wo may bo able to notify tho pastor of tho united sQutim.nt of tho trustees (u regard! to the mat tor.

Our future cour fo now depends upon what Dr. Talmasre will do." 'Will the members of tho church have an opportunity of expressing themselves on the yes, of course, but the action of tha trustee, who fairly represent tho tneinbtinj, may bo regarded as significant of the feelings lu the church." 'Does Dr. Talmage know anything of your action?" "Ho luis not boon officially notified as yet, and may not be until next weok, but he dropped into the meeting pf tho trustees last evening after tho resolution was adopted. Ho expressed no opinion on the subjoot, and I havo no idoa of what ho will do in tho premidos." Will tLuractiott of thu church havo any otfect upon the caao now pending before tho fly nod vrikoa me that it will havo no etVect whatever. That is a matter for settlement between tbo Pruribytery and the Synod, while thia ja betweon theProabytery and the lirooklyn Tabernacle.

11 What ia the cause of your complaint of the Prea bytery Wo are continuously subjected to annoyances of variouBkinds. We are tired of living under espoinage, and want, if possible, to avoid iti the future, You kuow as well as I what we have endured, and so do the people." Will you unlto with any other denomination or remain an independent church That remains to be Been after we have withdrawn irom tno freauytery. Ve may not withdraw, you know. If we do withdraw we may bo an independent church, or we may associate ourselves with Pome other denomination. That is a subject for tha future to decide." THE CASE THE HYNOD.

The complaint of the minority of th Presbytery disputing from tho action of that body in acquitting Dr. Talmage of falsehood and deceit, is now pending before the Synod of Long Island. The Synod ia to meet on Monday next as a Board uf Judges to deliberato upon the cae, but it ia probable that another adjournment may be had owing to the delay in having tho testimony printed and tho consequent inability of tho judges to carefully study the evidence given on tho trial. A cir cular asking forau adjournment has been bent to tho clergy, and haa met with a favorable response Tho ane will in all probability be decided by tho Synod be fore Christmas. It claimed by authorities on eclosi astical law that Dr.

Talmage cannot withdraw from the Preabytery while he is under discipline. This, however does not affect tho position of the church, which might join the Congregational or any other denomination end Gtill have a member of tho Presbytery for ita pafitor. The question might arise as to whether the church can retain possession of its real estate, a the law pr vides that when a church ceases to bo Presbyterian the Prusbrtery Bhall take charge of tho property. It ia not believed that this point will be pressed, and tho Tabernacle people will probably bo left in posseaaiou of their property. Dr.

Talmage Htarted to day for Bridgeport, where he to lecture this evening. 1I wad Inaccessible to reporter. COMMITTED.

Washington, December 1. The principn.1 feature of tha opening of Congress to day was the utter lack of interest in it, The Presidont's Message had been printed, and when its reading was commeuccd iu tho House of Representatives, tho galleries began to thin out, aud a quorum of ihe Uonee adjourned to "see a man" down stairs or across tha street. The President and Hecretary of tho Treasury (especially the latter), aro furious ovor the prematnrfi publication of tho message and the Treasury report. They ainuse you at tho Treasury by sayings Wo will never have tho roport put in type again, but will send it to Congress in manuscript." You aro tempted to well say, "What, never?" Cautiously, for it is as much as an officer's official head is worth to quote "Pinafore" in the Treasury. But as tho present rerjime will only have one more annual report to make, the word "never," as applied, is a big one under tha circumstances.

THE GOVERNMENT GARDENS must be bearing choico flowers just now, and the flower baskets and stands seem to have a steady growth in size. Tho Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr. LeDuc, baring succeeded in tea growing, and in tho extraction of saccharine crystals from the inobtrusivo cornstalk, seems to have devoted his energies to flowor basket planting The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House had each a three decked pyramid of rare exotica transplanted from tho Occident and Orient, and from the lowlands of Arabia. Felix, and the highlands of Colorado to tho propagating gardens of Washington. General Garileld, Fernando Wood and two dozen other statesmen, including Mr.

O'ltoilly, had large bouquets in front of them. Mr. O'Reilly's was a basket, with an ambitious tulip, towering in its size and purity above the reeking mass of nature's beat beside it. Mr. BlifiB, with rapid stride, flitted here and there, and was about the busiest man in the House.

His position on the Committee on Commerce gives him a status wilh the shipping interests that keops him busy with those people about half the time, while tho advocates of river aud harbor improvements are too numerous and peristent to think of his position excopt with honor. Mr. Chittenden quietly 6canued the situation, but had nothing to say or do. He wheeled around in his ohair as usual, biting his linger nails, and probably wondering when it would come his turn to say something. As he auswered his namo ho heaved a sigh of relief, liko unto the mighty reaction of the culprit before the court when he says not guilty," or tho man who pays a debt by giving a note.

Mr. Ohittonrten is ono of those ardent patriots who must be on hand whether he does anything or not. He cannot uegleot his duty, and for that reason he always does it, in whole or in part. Alexander H. Stephens was present, rolling himself around on his wheeling chair.

He looks better to day than he did ten years ago, and perhaps weighs a pouud moro than ho did then, for he weighs ninety rounds now. Mr. Covert, of the First New York District, who lives ovor at Whitestone, was lively as a cricket and full of business, and handsome Jimmy O'Brien looked curiously on at the doings of his fellow statesman. There was a good deal of gratification oxpreaBed at the effect of tho NEW SYSTEM OF VENTILATION in the llouso. The lobby iu cut in several places through the old Sergeant at Arms' aud Speaker'sjrooms.

and the ceilings and walls are frescoed in light colors, sa that the place is bright aud airy. Three doors go into the lieporters' gallery, whore only one went before. The whole south front is opened up as much as possible, so as to give plenty of air and light from the outsido. It is probably a snccesa. The Sergoant at Arms' ofiice 1b removed to where tho Clerk's office was, and the Clerk is moved down stairs.

Some of the committees will be called this week and be ready to report or commence work pretty soon. The Congressmen are still in doubt as to what shall bo done on the vital political issues, especially the financial question. They havo not had time yet to talk to each other or formulate opinions that will last. It is very probable that the Democrats will soon have a caucus to discuss the President's message. Until that time they do not care to talk about their status.

It has leaked out that a large number of Republicans are opposed to the abolition of tho legal tender notes, and there is enough of them to make it beyond a pornilvouture that tliia Congress will not adopt the President's suggestions about retiring them. THE BROOKLYN COLLEOTOESHIF. The oflico of Collector of Internal Kevenue for the First or Brooklyn District of New York has been a hone of eoHtentioii tor several years, tho de2artment claiming that Mr. Freoland, who recontly died at an ago of about eighty, was too old to fill tho position. Investigation after investigation has happened iu the Brooklyn oiliee for the past teu years, and the fact was shown that of the very many millions that have passed through tho old man's hands, not a penny evor stuck to his fin Bits.

Mr. BeecUer for years saved Mr. Freeland from being relieved; but the CommUjBionor of Internal Revenue kept on trying, without avail, to offset tho Beechor influence with tho President. Finally, after tho death of Mr. Freeland, Commissioner Kaum determined that Deputy Collector lioone and all the assistants should he bounced.

General Ituum even went so far as to say that tho Boone party of cuiployeB were blackmailers, and he was determined to get them out. There were several applicants for the position. Among them was Lorin Palmer, who was advocated by Mr. Beecher and others, aud was at one time the choico of Secretary Evarts. Tho question put whether he was iu favor of retaining Mr.

Boone and the other ofilcerB thore, and he said ho was, that he did not propose to be dictated to by Mr, Kauui or anybody else in an office where the bond was so large, tho responsibility so great andthe necessity bo great for having reliable subordinates. Mr. Palmer did not even come hero to see about the position. Tho case was left to Mr. Evarts.

Ex Sheriff Daggett, Mr. Boone, Mr, Wilson, General E. B. Eowlor, Lorin Palmer, Gordon Ford, Jno. D.

Carroll and a number of others applied. The labor organizations of Brooklyn pressed Mr. Carroll. The matter was left to Secretary Evarts. He to day asked Mr.

Carroll what ho would do if appointed collector In place of Mr. Free land. Ho said he would "collect the revenue." I called to day on Mr. Rogers, tho'tPresidont'a private secretary, and he said the matter was in statu' quo, the question being whether General Fowler or Mr. Ford should bo selected.

Secretary Sherman told mo to day that tho matter would bo Bottled to morrow, but that ho could not say who would bo Bolooted. Senator Logan says Carroll will be anpointed. The question will be finally settled to morrow in Cabinet meeting, if Secretary Shormau can press it to a conclusion. Tho papers aro boforo tho President, with Commissioner Rauin's protest against Boone and no recommendation of anybody olso, and a brief of all tho papers from the secretary's offico. My own ImprosBlon is, from what is curront today, that whomovor tho successful applicant may bo, his appointment be dictated by Mr.

Beecher and Mr. Palmor. unless Mr. Carroll shall succeed. Cope.
