Wabhdtotok, Oct 21.—The ropofC o( the commission of poetofflce inspectors) mm/mi 1 ted to investigate the affairs of the  poetofflce is made public. Tlie MAiuient shows that an elaborate anj} exhaustive investigation of all the charges toa4to*gainD-t Postmaster Harrity was' made by guf'Voni mission, and, inthemato, they eroneratehini The document sets forth that magtoof the allegations were baseless and ttetr'ilhe few that the Investigation proved true-ware the result of mistakes on the part of old employe*; that the suA expended for clerical; assistance Is much less in proportion to gross income tlian in many other important .joetoftices; that three-fourths of the E loroe of the former incumbent fjre still employed; that important divisions are still magged by able superintend^:™ of long postoffioe experience. The following criticism is made: "The postmaster has evidently assumed to fix the number of clerks of the excepted 61hsses at a much larger figure (86) than is warranted by the laws and rules of the civil service commission,'' and the commission recommends "that the post master be instructed that the excepted clas in the MUemtnt fall as far below-twenty persons to possible." The cotnmisUon further recommends a thorough reorganisation of the money order division aad a change of superintendent; the appointment of additional clerks to the mailing division and the reduction of clerical assistance in the stations.

The The same committee also presented another report in which they stated they had under consideration the resolution offered by Rev. Dr. Hopkins, of Central Pennsylvania, relative to the basis of church unity, and in their opinion the same was inexpedient at the present time. Rev. Dr. Hopkins presented a minority report, which stated that the plan which the committee considered it inexpedient to consider was the only plan subi mitted to bring about the object alatod at. Until some plan was furnished a general expression of opinion would amoont to nothing. Not one of the Christian bodies had said that it was willing to enter upon any plan to bring about this organic unity. It was the duty of this church to lead the way and to say how far it was willing to go. The outcome of the evangelical alliance had demonstrated that the great bulk of the great Protestant denomination* were already prepared to surrender, insisting upon their own peculiar practices. Che report stated that the things which must be secured by this church in any union which might be accomplished were: The integrity of the Catholic faith as declared by the undisputed general councils; Episcopal ordination, either hypothetically or absolutely; the apostollo ordinance of confirmation, and the mode of administering baptism and the euchariet All the reports were placed on the calendar. the discomfiture of »ay» QBH.

Gatewood, Sixth cavalry, rode into their presence at the risk of his life, and, without any assurance of a peaceable reception, demanded their surrender through two friendly Apaches. Finding no place of safe refuge, and troops in every section, the leaden desired to sbe Capt Lawton, and requested favorable terms. Their requests were refused, and Capt Lawton was authorized to receive their surrender as prisoners of war.' The Indians aQwi to surrender to the department commander, and marched eleven days parallel with Capt Lawton's command to Skeleton Canyon, A.

Since the organization of the order ten railroads have been satisfactorily treated with. Mr. Arthur complimented the men of the Texas and Missouri roads fof their conduct during the recent strikes, when the Knights of Labor urged their demands upon them. Be thanked the brothers for their kindness and consideration toward him during his four terms of office. Regrets were read from Austin Corbin, president of the Philadelphia and Reading road, after which Hon. Chauncey M. Depew addressed the convention. He opposed any alliance with other organizations, and said that the brotherhood stood above all other orders in the recognition of capital to labor.

Prentice, of Norwalk, O., was arrested Oct, 12, on a train of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railway, when it arrived at South Chicago, charged with disorderly conduct. The doctor came to Chicago with hjs wife, and on the way he met a number of friends who had bought round-trip railroad tickets to Norwalk, but did not intend to u.t-them. The doctor bought them, and for this was arrested, the charge of disorderly conduct being preferred against him becaase his captors knew of no other Accusation that would fit his case. He was locked up, but the railroad decided it could not proceed against hiifl, and he was discharged. He has now sued the railway company for 950,000 in the United States circuit court for malicious perancution.  Several important subjects for legislation were passed upon and referred to the lncom. ing legislative committee, among which was a resolution demanding laws prohibiting, under penalties, any member of either house of congfees or of any state legislature from acting as attorney for any person or corporation personally interested in the legislation of the body in which he sits during his term of office as such member.

Also a resolution in favor of woman suffrage. The report of the special committee appointed to select a place fbr holding the general convention of 1880 was presented. It recommended that the Beit general convention be bald in Wew York city. Rev. Dr. Beardsley, in presenting the report, said the centennial of the revision of the Book of Common Prayer would occur Oct 16, 1880, and while it might have been deemed expedient that the next general convention should meet in Philadelphia that year, where the revision of the Prayer Book had been made, still the Bishop of Pennsylvania and deputies, both clerical and lay, Of' that diocese were perfectly willing that New York should be the next plaoe of meeting, and if it was deemed advisable to celebraU the centennial tutniversary of that revision the convention could accept an ih* itatTon from the diocese of Pennayh ania and adjourn for that The report was adopted. A resolution was adopted for the appointment of a committee of five clergymen and five laymen to take into consideration the whole subject of a change in the judicialsystem of the church and report to the next general convention.

Henry George wCeeuses Mr. Hewitt. New Yobk, Oct. 21.—Henry George has written a second letter to Mr. Hewitt He accuses Mr. Hewitt of deliberately misrepresenting his views and utterances, and of Imputing to him sentiments in regard to Social changes which he never entertained. He say* that to use the words of Mr. Gladstone, "this is a practi -e antilogous to hitting foul in pugilism, or using weapons which are prohibited by the laws of war." Mr. George declares that Mr. Hewitt may well say he "does not fear the politicians," as he says in his recent letter, for he can slwayB purchase his seat in congress from them, as always has been done. But th'6 masses who lito and suffer in tenements and cannot control politics have reaw , to fear the politicians, and for this reason they are now trying to escape tcom their domination.

At first when the custom officials commenced the investigation the officers pooh-poohed the affair, and went so far as to declare they would pay no duty. If it had been a single case or barrel of wine no notice would have been taken, but when there appeared to be wholesale importations a strict search was made. Extraordinary as it may appear, the duties thus far levied amount to over 1780. The paymaster of one of the vest- | sels has ackowledgod that goods upon which he will have to pay 1178 duty ar* for a friend in -New York who win have the benefit of the freight being deadheaded on a government vessel.

The manufacturers are receiving some assistance from outside, but it is mostly unskilled help. The Knights are as confident as ever that they will be successful in Uie end. They are conducting themselves in a very orderly manner and have already influenced the sentiment of the people in their favor. There is a plan on foot to start a oo-operative mill, with the probability that it will be established. Considerable stock has been subscribed and the preliminaries are being arranged. The phenomenal growth of the order during the past year has been the greatest drawback to this convention. It not only made an almost unmanageable body by the basis of representation adopted, but changed the conditions so much that natural proportions were often impracticable. It has been remedied by the reduction of the basis of representation to one-third its present proportions. The conventions, however, have the effect of stimulating interest throughout the country, and the anticipated gi-owth of the organisation will make the convention at Minneapolis a year hence half or two-thirds as large as this one.
