ger was unanimously elected President

lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That in tbo life of tbe late
Wm. Orton we recognize an example of
a character unsullied by moral weakness
—a man who ever fearlessly spoke the
truth—who hated shams—who rebated
superficiality by tbo thoroughness of his
own works—who believed in the justice
of God and was himself just, and who,
by never ceasing fidelity and toil in tbo
performance of a groat duty, left ns tbe
Ipgacy of tbo memory of a colossal char
acter of honorable, faithful, uncomplain
ing toil—of a pnro and tender heart,
which has influenced our own lives, and
must be long and lovingly remembered.
Resolved, That tbo power of a coble
life is seen to-day in tho nniversal affec
tion and reverenoe which bis name in
spires and tho grist which bis death has
evoked. Tho moseeogor boy hurrying
on his errand—the clerk standing at bts
desk—the batlorymsn replenishing bis
celts—the repairer on bis boat—the oper
ator at bis table—tho official of eve ry rank,
wbrrovor tbe click of ibo telegraphic
mechanism which bears the messages of
this continent is heard, in all tbo wide
realm that spreads itself between tbe At-
Untio and Paoifio seas, all mention the
name of Wm. Orton to day, with affec
tionate tenderness and with respeotfnl
sorrow.
Resolved, That if tho value of com.
pleteneos in a human life is to bo ineas.
nred by tbe perfection of its worlb, then
wo must regard Mr. Orton's word com
plete and bis death a rest fur which he
was ready and for whioh he himself
longed ; that in this wo rocogniza a truth
worth ovon this illustrious death, with all
its attendant sorrow, to know that not in
tbo ItDglh of years, bat in nobility of
character and earnestness of purpose, we
iray give to life a glory and to death a
crown.
Resolved, That we affectionately tender
to tbo family of Mr. Orton, to whom onr
lato President was so dovontcdly attached,
onr deepest and smoerest sympathy,
preying for them God’s tender graoo and
abundant consolation.
These resolutions were unanimously

Mexican Affairs,
N*w Yobk, April 25,—A special from
London, April 25.—The growing be
lief in the failure of the mediation iu the
Eastern troubles continues to depress the
etock markets. There has been a general
fall in prices. Russian securities are
down one per cent. The negotiations
regarding the congress and the with
drawal of the British fleet and Rn3sian
troops from near Constantinople has led
to no result. It is considered very on
fortunate that Prince Bismarck and
Prince Gortechakoff have fallen ill at
this critical juncture. In the uncertain
ty of tbo issue ot the pourparlers, the
Russians are doing their beet to strength
en their position, and advices from va
rious aides concur that there are consid
erable movements cf troops towards Con
stantinople as well as Gallipoli.
According to a letter in tho Vienna
Politische Correspondent from Tchaldjs,
about thirty miles northwest from Con
stantinople, two thousand sappers and
eight tnouaand infantry ore at work
there, turning and completing lines
thrown up by the Turks along tho whole
lino from Hademkoi to Derkos on tho
Black Sea. Four smaller redonbts Lave
been enlarged and five new ones con
structed. There still remain a good
many of tho eeigo guna belonging to tho
Tarks. These are far from sufficient to
arm tbe extended works, but 100 heavy
guns and thirty uiortars are expected to
arrive from Odessa.
Romk, April 25.—An Eaoyolical jnst
issued by the Pope, points ont that it is
wrong for aacioty to combat the church

garding tbe latter'a civil principality,
whioh is a guarantee of its liberty and
independence. Tbo Pope renews and
oonfirms tbe protest of Pins IN against
the occupation of this oivil principality of
the ohnrch. His Holiness is confident
that with the aid of Gad and tbe zjal of
pastorB, aooiety will finally return to the
bomages it owes to the church. Tbe En-
oyolieal is generally moderate and foil of
expressions of affection towards society.
