THE FAITH OF ISRAEL.
The Hebrew Conference in Piiiiadei
phiti? Important Resolutions Adopted.
A very important conf?rence of Hebrew rab
bis was hold lasl week in Philadelphia. There were
eleven gentlemen present from the principal cities
of the conn try. The meeting was called to order
by Dev. Dr. Hirsch, mid. ou motion of Dr. Kin
horn, the following olllccrs were unanimously
elected: Rov. Dr. Hirsch, as president; Dr. Alder,
of Now York, vice-president; Dr. McElzlugcr, of
New York, and Dr. Kcl/nshal, of Chicago, as sec
retaries. Drs. Einhorn, K?hler, Uirsch und oth
ers submitted propositions on the principles or
public worship, marital laws, circumcision, the
Institution or the sabbath, religious instruction,
Ac. The conference decided to consider the prin
ciples or public worship Ant, and as a basis the
propositions submitted by Dr. Einhorn. After a
lengthy discussion the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
The Rabbinical Conference declares Hint Juda
ism m us present phnso of development confesses
the following principles to be embodied in public
wor-dnp :
Flnil. The Messianic aim of Israel is not iho res
tornllon of the old Jewish state under a son or
David, the renewed Segregation from the nations,
hut the union of all men as children of Cod in the
confession of the one and iniiv Hod, or the unity
or nil rational beings and their vocation for moral
purity.
Second. We do not regard the desf.netion or
the Jewish state as a punishment for Iho sins or
Israel, bin ns iho corollary or the Divine purpose
expressed in Iho promise to Abraham, and more
clearly developed in the com so of history?to send
the members or iho Jewish race id nil parts or the
earth in order to accomplish their high priestly
mission; to load the nnllous to th into knowledge
and worship oi Coil.
Third. Tho Antonie priesthood and Iho Mosaic
sttcnticlal worship were only preparatory stops
to Israel's nction.it priesthood, actually beginning
with the dispersion of the Jewish people, und lu
the sacrifice ?{the bean's devotion and moral
snuctlflcatlon as ulono pleasing to Rod, These In?
Btltntious, Hier-foi e, designed loprepare a higher
state or religions sentiment, arc altogether num
bered with the destruction ol I he second temple,
among Hi-.-things of the past, and In this sense
only?I. e. In Ihelr educational cii|iactty?may lie
mentioned in our prayers.
Fourth. Every distinction between Aarnhity
and uon-Aaronity, wllh reference in religious
irivitcttcs and duties, is, therefore, Inadmissible
u public worship as well a< In practical lire.
Fifth. The selection of Israel as a religious peo
ple, as bearer of tho highest idea of humanity,
muai now, as over, be emphatically expressed,
and on that very account shall Iho world-em
bracing mission of Israel and iho equal love or
Coil towards all Ills children, lie pfst as distinctly
enunciated.
Sixth. The belief in a bodily resnrrer tlon hai
no religious fousdiiiiun. and only Iho cut luuod
spiritual existence Is to be express -d.
Seventh. However urgently and iinromltilngly
desirable asihe rullllmoni of a sacred do.lv the
cultivation of tho Hebrew Language, in which tho
Divine treasures of r?volution aru stored, and Iho
Immortal mnnnments of a literature governing
all clviii/cd nations tire preserved, Is In our midst,
?'Ct Since thai language has become actually ini
ntelligible to the larger majority of ourcn-rell
glonist*, It must yield, on this very account, in
our prayer, which ir not understood' Is a soulless
body to the vernacular as rar as the existing cir
cumstances render It ndvisable.
A Rev. Dr. Thompson, or New York, "while
not desiring 10 revcat private conversation,"
nevertheless "would say that Father llvaclniho
had brought letters to him from two French Pro
testant clergymen, speaking of htm ns In close
communion with them, and taking the noble po
sition of Luther."

Tho Howard school for colored children In
this city lists just liulshcd Iho llrst motu Ii or Its
present session. und may lie considered fully
ululer wn) for Un annual round. Tills. II win lie
rcineniliertil, is a setiool eslulilishcd by the partly
dofuncl Freeilmen's lltireuti, mid now supiMirleil
by ctaarliles fi***in the North?Nov.* York ami Bos
ton priliclptllly. There are eight le.iehers, ull
while, female, und Northern. There iure four
hundred and thirty pupils, all colored, or both
sexes, and of ages varying apparently between
eight and twenty-one. Tin. arc more girls
than boys, mid more of mixed colora than
wholly black. These are arranged into eight
sellouts or classe-", which are taught by the eight
teachers, one lo each. The discipline throughout
the establishment, which Is under the suporlll
tendency or Miss Augusta Haley, is rigid and
carefully enforced. This is un admirable roulure
of iho school. Nothing could be belter, from
u personal look mer the establishment, and heir
lug ihcirmodoof Instruction and or examination
in the several classes, I nui enabled to express the
most favorable opinion of the work of leaching
dune here. It djubtlcss requires more than ordi
nary patience to leach colored children; and
this ttiese teachers seem to have. I saw ami
heard classes reciting in geography, arithmetic
reading, spelling and writing rrotu dictation, and
tho recitations were as giiud as one could ex
pect?reilcctlng the highest credit upiiti the leach
era, without any exception, and Illustrating the
peculiar minds or the pupils. To comparu these
recitations to those or white children ?r the same
ages would be unfair lo Hie colored race. Tito at
tainments of Hi ?sc children arc gratifying lo all
I rue friends or the race; and m the same Mum
Servo to establish the fact that the tlljn-iviiee be
tween the white and black races is ns clearly
marked in their minds, respectively, as In ihelr
physical organisms. This rue; demonstrates the
nCs*csslty of dlltcrout modes of training and de
veloping these differently constituted races. (*ov
crnor Scott has taken this ground In his messages:
and Mr. Jiligon, the State Superintendent of Edu
cation, Is known to hold tho same views. So ap
pear to do all thinking men.
The Broad Itlvci Bridge, In the hands or Cap
tain Lee, Hie architect, Is upproaching comple
tion. Seven or the nine spans of framework arc
already up. and we are told lo expect Ihu work to
lie tlnlshcd by the 1st or Deceinlier.
EveryIhing seems lo be ready r<n- lite Agricul
tural Fair next Wednesday. Ah immens- crowd
of visit on is expected. Ituln is needed to settle the
dust.
There are said lo be SO? convicts In Htolhrand's
pciiltcniiary, mostly negroes. No escapes have
transpired for several Weeks. Kuoh a dearth of
fugitives is itself tin item. "Onco more Io tue

1 wish I had Hie "pen of a ready writer,"
that I might give you a readable account of the
existing Fair at this place. My notes or yesterday
gave yon some idea or things generally; to-day l
must speak of'tilings particularly.
At leu o'clock the bugle sounded, the door
opened, and In a little while hundreds were
crowding the hall and grounds. AI eleven
o'clock, music in tlie stock yard enticed the
crowd thitherward, and directly was announced
a grand display or the horses; and such a display
I have seldom sceu. Pairs, for which Siobo had
been refused, were not uncommon. Single draft
and sad die horses too valuable for market; fleet
racers and trotters, the pride of their owners,
and the lilllptitlan pony, were all led In a grand
round through the lots, ami a handsomer display
need not have been desired in the blue grass re
gions of Kentucky.
Music enlivened the scene, and presently the
announcement was made tii it the contest for pre
miums would oc ur in the hollow square in iront
of the Cour I house, a row momenta elapsed and
outcumo a span of magnificent blacks, raised in
Hie district. Tiieso spleudtd animals were, or
would have been, an uriumoiit to any "Bing."
Then came the spans cuitending against the
world for th? cun. These word followed by tho
single baggy horses, ami then the saddle horses
and pontes, la all of liiosa "lings** tho conical
was close, ami often iho committee were "bother
el" about ihci." dec-si ia. Tuat satisfaction was
universally given ciitiu.ii be expected, but that
impartiality was shown, ! think all hands agreed.
During this exhibition, which consumed near
six hours, tho Immense throng were mos; orderly
and iioihing occurred to m ir the pleasure of every
one except Hie running away 01" one or the slugl
buggy horses, by which accident a Mr. firllUtt was
thrown from tits buggy and seriously Injured.
Every pla/./.a, and window and door, opening ot
Hie square, was crowded by the fair, (not agrlcul
tarai,) but the lovely, beautiful women or Ab
beville. The housetops, too, were In requisition,
and as lor Hie square, it was but a moving mass.
Abbeville Is justly proud or herself, and she
throws down the glove to Iho rest of the Slate,
and bids them meet lier in Columbia next week
If one-half the stock and articles on exhibition
here arc sent to Columbia, and each of Hie other
districts or Hie Slate sends hair as much as Abbe
ville. Hie State Pair will be a inamtnotli concern.
So mote It be.
To-night I have attended a meeting of Hie Ah
bovllle Society, and listened with Interest to their
friendly discussion of ilie various topics Intro
duced. They unanimously re-elected I heir olllccrs,
and set on roo; a scheine to make this society a

the excavations are being made and the founda

height, surmounted by a large Mansard roof,
upon Hie summit of which twelve towers, twenty
four reel in height ami width, will he built, and
upon tile street angles or the building similar tur
rets will be also placed, making thus ten iu num
ber, which will foiai graceful crowns lu the heavy
structure below.
The main entrance will be forty-eight feet in
width, the portico uf Which will be two stories
in height, e.insisting of massive columns with fo
liated capitals and bases, on octagon pedestals.
The Ural story will be appropriated lo stores, the
rent* from which will materially aid toward tic
fraying ihe expenses or Ihc establishment. In
the interior or the building will be n courtyard
ninety-four feel by one hundred ami sixteen,'and
Ihe hollow square Ilms formed by ttie surround
ing walls will be beaut Hied by u fountain, gold
Hsh, and In other ways. Iu the rear will be the
dining-room, thirty feet bv ninety-two In dimen
sion, and iu addition, ami near the same size, will
be a hall lor lectures, concerts and other recrea
tions. The sleeping rooms will be or two kinds,
ihe single, eight reel by nine, and those intended
fur two persons, sixteen by eighteen feet. It has
been shown by experience'Hint a marked prefer*
Mice has been'always evinced for single rooms by
occupants, save In the ease ol" two Mends or
sisters, fur which Ihe double rooms are provided.
The entire arrangement is made with a view to
furnish cacti working girl, who may become an
occupant, the comforts and conveniences of a
hold al a small cost. All is, Indeed, contrived
with a view to comfort and convenience. The
kitchen and laundry will be on the 1110*1 improved
modem plans, and, as in other hotels, there will
he elevators for ascending, without l'aligne, lotllO
upper Stories. Com, rood will be provided at cost,
aud on oilier restaurant principle, In order that
each young woman may regulate her expenses
according to what she may order. Like the other
building* erected by Mr. Stewart, this will be
pure white, lor Which lie ?vinces a decided par

Nor In these enlarged conceptions for the be

private dwelling on I'll'lh Avenue, or winch every
one has heard, which every one In New Y'ork has
seen, and which now approaches II* completion.
This building is of marble, ol' an enduring kind,
which to lue eye presents the appearance of
granite, while the ?nishliig inside is throughout of
beiiullful Italian marble, the work upon which
was executed In Italy. The style of architecture
Is pure Corinthian, and though only three stories
Iu height, the structure towers above the sur
rounding houses, inasmuch as each story Is
twenty feel in height. Until within and without
there is but liitleshowy ornumeutntloii, the stylo
bel?g chaste ami severe, grand without being
heavy, and elaborate without being funcirtil. The
