Packard, is called to New Orleans by the probable fatal illness of one of ills children. NEW TRIALS GRANTED SAWYER & CO. A new trial is granted in the case of Sawyer, late Assistant Secretary of tlie Treasury; Haines, late Commis sioner of Customs and Banks. The motion for a new' trial in this case was grunted to-day by Judge McArthur of the criminal court of the District of Columbia. In the course of his re marks the Judge said it was apparent at the trial, and it is made more so by what lias tuken place since the defeat of the trial to which the defendants were subjected is perhaps more ual- liable tnun in any case tliaf has ever been presented for my consideration. From some cause or other, perhaps not exclusively owing to their own neglect, these defendants have not had the advant age of a full defense. The want of preparation was evident from the first moment that the triul began. The parties appeared to be wading and reeling their way through. I am in cline!! to think upon the whole that it would be exercising a sound dis cretion on the part of the Court,under the circumstances, to give the parties one more chance. The order, then may be made granting a new trial. RE-NOMINATIONS AND TENURE OF OFFICE ACT. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, December 6.—In the Senate Executive session on the ten ure of office act, the argument had its origin on the phraseology of certain re-nominations, whose cases were pending when the extra session ad journed. In renewing file nomina tions the President has not referred to tlie original suspension but merely states they are made in lieu of nomi nations heretofore submitted but not acted upon. For instance the nomi nation of Alex. Reed for postmaster at Toledo, which was laid before tlie Senate to-day. He proposes his appointment to tlmt office in the place of himself, in place of Dowling, suspended. The opinion of tlie Sen ate was practically unanimous that such a nomination is in accordance with the tenure of office act. The President, in the instance argued, leaves out of sight the person sus pended in the nomination, though fully stated in tlie first made to the extra session. FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.

The finest articles of Solid Silver ami Silver-Plated Ware, for sale at sapdO 3m Witiioh & Kinski.’*, Mr. Edward Kimball, tlie church debt raiser, began work two weeks ago in tlie Presbyterian Memorial Church at Madison avenue and Fifty- third street, which was burdened with a debt of 8110,000. Mr. Kim ball’s plan was novel. He took the congregation by surprise, and in a meeting of four hours’ duration, lie raised 887,852, leaving only 822,048 to be collected. Tills result was received with astonishment throughout tlie country, and the ]iustor, tlie Rev. Dr. Robinson, 1ms received hundreds of letters of congratulation, which were premature, for, unless every dollar of the debt was pledged on or before the 1st of March, 1878, tlie whole would lie forfeited. As the members re flected on this fact, many of them became despondent. For two weeks the matter rested. No more money was subserlbed, and the majority were in ignorance of what was to lie done; but yesterday morning Mr. Kimball aguin occupied tlie pulpit with Dr. Robinson, anil then they knew that another effort was to be made. At tlie close of the earlier part of the service, Mr. Kimball made an ad dress. He congratulated tlie people on what they had done, but remind ed them that till their previous labor would lie for naught unless they made one more strenuous effort and raised the remaining 823,000. He said that he lmd 110 doubt tlmt they could and would do it. Ho began with a call for those who were willing to pay ten cents a week from now until June 1 to rise. Alioutthirty personsdidso. He then culled successively for those who were willing to pay twenty-five and fifty cents, one dollar and one dollar and a half per week. Few' responded, and not much interest was manifest ed. Mr. Kimball then culled for ten subscribers of 82,000 each, and offered to be the first to give tlmt sum. He appointed canvassers, whom lie called by name, to go tli rough the churelx and talk with tlie people. When the worshippers begun to go out singly and in little groups Sir. Kimball begged them to stay and give tlie encouragement of their presence if nothing more. To the call for 82,000 there were 110 responses. Mr. Roswell Smith, President of tlie Board of Trustees, entered the pulpit, and, after heartily applauding Mr. Kimball and all tbut lie hud done, read a letter from the son of a former member of the church, offering uh u gift real estate that in two years would produce 82,000. Dr. Robinson suid that lie was dally in receipt of letters from all jiarts of the country congratulating him on tlie release of his ehurcli from debt. He wanted tlie writers to understand that not one cent had yet been paid, nor would be unless the whole amount could be rusied. He told ids parish ioners that this was tlie most solemn and eventful day in the history of their church, and tlmt on this meet ing depended its life. He told them that on the wings of the press the story of what they were attempt ing had been borne to ull parts of the world, and that churches everywhere were waiting with breathless interest tlie result. They were to be the means of encouraging similar efforts, or become laughingstock for attempt ing what they could not accomplish. Failing to get any $2,(XX) subscrip tions, Mr. Kimball culled for twelve of 81,000 each, of which from the fund at Ids disposal he would give the first and lust. He suid: “The question now before you is, will you give $23,- (XX) to-day, or will you for wunt of tlmt amount sink buck under a debt of $ll<l,(HXI?” Mr. P. C. Atterbury came forward with 81,(XX), anil Mr. •Smith ottbred a like sum 011 condition that tlie whole amount lie raised ill thnt meeting. No more similar sums were given, and then there was a long, disheartening pause. Mr. Kim ball said tlmt '.here was wanted 85,000 to make up the 812,(XX) that he wuh trying for, and tlmt if four of tiiose who on tlie fonueroccusion subscribed 85,(NM) each would give nil additional 81,IMHI, lie would be the filth. He promised that he would not uppeur before them again, and pleaded for a final effort. In regard to church debts, lie said tlmt lie lmd no doubt tlmt they are the prime cause of many of the business defalcations tlmt arc of such frequent occurrence among business men, many of whom are members of churches. With such examples constantly before them, they allow themselves to fail into debt, and, in despair at their own condition, become defaulters ill a vain effort to clear themselves. Time was passing away, and hut little bud been done. Many persons were going away, and empty pews presented great gaps in what, at the beginning, lmd been ularge audience. Dr. Robinson made an Impressive ad dress; in which lie saiil tlmt this ef fort should be (lie last, aud tlmt, if the needed sum was not pledged with in tilt* next half hour, 110 further calls would he made. This brought out two more offers of 81,(XX) each. Then the hymn “I Love Thy Church, O Lord!" was sung, after whicli an other unsuccessful eifort was made for 82,<XK). The project at this stage hail a gloomy outlook. Nearly half tlie congregation lmd departed, two hours lmd passed, and not half tin* required amount liad been pledged. Mr. Kimball said tlmt he hud never before labored so hard, with so faint prospect of success. Dr. Robinson offered a prayer, and then, with tears in his eyes, mane a last appeal to his people." 11c told them of the sacrifices that lmd been made by a few for the good of the whole. He showed them the degradation of a debt-laden church, tlie scorn with which they were re garded by other churches, and by tlie world at large, and the little influence tlmt they possessed. So in earnest was he, anil so forcibly diil lie present the case, that many were moved to tears, and the effect was instantaneous.

Tbc entire sum lied been raised. There was an impressive silence ns Mr. Kimball stood up and, paper in hand, asked the folks if they wished to know the result. When lie told them tlmt, exclusive of the $1,000 for which Mr. Thompson lmd become responsible, he lmd their pledges for $110,117, there was a storm of applause. The notes of tlie Doxology were sounded from the organ, and, rising to their feet, the congregation joined in singing the hymn, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” The benediction followed. As the congre gation dis]iersed, hearty congratula tions were exchanged, and tears wore in many eyes. Di addition to the amount raised for the pavment of the debt a contin gent fund of $2,0(K) was pledged to cover possible deficiencies, and to assist some of l lie poorer members, who, it was feared, lmd promised beyond their means. In the evening the pastor announc ed the result of (lie morning’s work and said tlmt. in addition to the sums then pledged, several hundred dollars bad been sent in to him, making the total 8110,753. Mr. Kimball is aiding tlie Central Presbyterian Church,in Fifty-seventh street, the edifice of which was built from the material of the Rev. l)r. speech uttheGrund Hotel (American) banquet, in Paris. The Times says General Noyes’ “byperkoles” were extravagant his talk of “providential men” (which it intimates was too much in the vein of some ]>oriloiis French superstitions) is “incon gruous when spoken of General Grant,’ whose soldierly virtues are “dogged courage, invincible persever ance, indifference to criticism, the capacity of supporting reverses with out duelling, the determination to shrink from no sacrifices in order to reach the end Hot before him;" but it denies Grant any such "genius" or "brilliancy" as would place him beside tlie great commanders. General Noyes “strains tlie language of compliment ronghly when fie af firms that General (front’s place in history as a civil magistrate will bo among the foremost.” “Flatteries in deed will now pass by him without injury, and bis well-earned repose will not be dlsturlieil by the delusive belief that Ills civil policy was always wise and just." “It Is notorious tlmt General Grant left the largest and most vital of the problems which per plexed bis country unsettled; that bis failure to settle them brought bis Government Into discredit, and al most destroyed bis party, and that President Hayes is now laboring to repair the* errors and the short comings of the preceding Admini stration on two of the most important of those questions—the pacification John Hall’s old church, given for the | oftheSoutli andtbc reformoftliecivil purpose. To furnish this, and to cleur • — off a debt, 842,(XHl is needed. Last Wednesday evening Mr. Kimball entered prayer meeting, and, among the comparatively few persons pre sent, raised 826,000 in three hours. Since then $3,000 more 1ms been pledged, making it total of $28,0(H). The exumpleset by these twocliurclies Is felt by others. The ftev. Dr. Tay lor of tbc Broadway Tabernacle told his people lust Sunday, that, if the members of the Presbyterian Memo rial Church could raise $88,000 in a single day, their purse in tbut direc tion was almost unlimited, and their excuse for resting under a debt pro portionally less.

From the Kanin* f'ltj/ < Minouri) Time*.] There is now on exhibition, in tlie Lindell Hotel, the rudely-stuffed hide of a very large and ferocious-looking mountain lion, which was killed a few weeks ago in Hinsdale county, southwest of Pueblo, Colorado. Mr. II. J. Minor und a partner named Shane were engaged in running a pack train of burros, or small Mexi can asses, over the mountains to the mines in tlie Sun Juan conntry. They bail just gone into camp one night in Antofope Park when tlie lion made its appearance. One of the burros lmd given out from exhaustion, and had been left standing alone in tlie snow a short distance from tlie camp. The animal, although almost unable to move, suddenly gave evi dence of great terror and alarm, and commenced to bray. Mr. Shane started out of tlie camp to see what tbc trouble was. As soom as he left the circle of the camp fire a large mountain lion sprang upon him from a projecting rock above him and bore him to the earth, liis partner, Mr. Minor, saw the animal spring, and called at once to Simile to keep still. The lion stood growling over the prostrate malt with Its two fore feet on liis breast. Minor dropped the roiies he was engaged in coiling, and seized a Winchester rifle and fired. Tlie animal dropped, and Sliune scrambled to bis feet anil assisted in dispatching the ferocious beast. He wus hurt slightly on tbc breast,where the claws bad penetrated llicclotlilng. The lion resembles u very large cut, and would measure perhaps seven feet from the nose to the tip of the tail. It is the largest and best speci men of tlie Rocky Mountain lion species every brought to Ibis city. These creatures seem tube different from the panther, or puma, and to la; identical witli tlie ‘ mountain lion” of California. Who lnvfnl«‘il I It** Aliunde T«»lc||i'upli. Cincinnati Commercial.)

Any real conversation with him on casual introduction was out of tlie question, and some complain that lie seemed to come from a country, which, like India, has no such words as “thank you." The unwisdom and corruptions of General Grant's administration were politely kept out of sight while he was hero (out of re spect of tlie American Nation, who were suppose 1 to have put him for- ■wardas a test of international courte sy), but there is k-:t an uneasy feel ing that General Grant has gone oft’ with a belief that England admires his Presidential career. General Grant, on the strength of ids own qualities or Prc ldeuUa! reputation, would hnve received comparatively little attention in this country, and no homage at all. I may add tlint it lias not been looked upon here nor in Purls as an admirable tableau in which tbc late Presidentof theUnited States was seen hob-nobbing with tlie would-beast astln of the French Re public. There lias been already too much of that kiml of thing among prominent Americans in Purkduring the late Empire. It would have re dounded more to General Grant's credit among the Europeans who maintain liis country’s principles if, after those principles hud been in sulted in bis per. er. by the demand that lie should keep away from France lest his presence might dispar age anti-Republican intrigue, lie hud refused to go when the bar was taken down; or, if ids desire to lionize in Paris wus too strong for tlint, had lie preserved a dignified coolness toward tin insulters both of himself and Re publicanism, General Grant may, perhaps, realize the truth of these tilings if, as Is rumored, lie means to come back and take a bouse lu Lon don. t'OBBOSMVK XlBEiMATK. ■■oh * Wronged and Nuirerlng Wife Found Out llou Ulorloia* II uu* to Die. offers of $51X1 eacli were quickly made.
