It is expected that "insanity" will be the defense of Frank Fuller, who is to be tried at Sitka this month for the murder of Archbishop Seghers on the Yukon River last November. Charles D. Kennedy of the revenue cutter Bear, on which vessel Fuller was brought to Sitka after the commission of the crime, writes to a friend in this city, under date of July 10th, as follows: After leaving Ounalaska we visited at St. Michael; there I arrested Fuller for the murder of Archbishop Seghers in November. The man is one of the most gentlemanly in actions I ever met. There is no doubt that he is insane. He is very quiet on board, and spends most of his time in reading prayers.

A curious case came up for treatment in the City Receiving Hospital yesterday and received the attention of one of the trusties, who performed an operation quite skillfully. Fifteen months ago Miss Jnlia Cottrill, a chambermaid residing at 115 Fourth street, while washing some glass goblets, broke one of them, two small fragments of which entered her left wrist. The pieces, being small, escaped notice at the time, and the flesh healed over the cut. In a few weeks, however, irritation set in and considerable inflammation ensued. The pains seemed to be working down into the palm of the hand and finally centered close to the fingers. A smalr abscess was formed and prevented the hand bein™ used or closed. When opened by the hospital trusty yesterday, in the heart or the ulcer'two little pieces of glass, extremely sharp on all the edges, were found and removed. They had evidently travelled from the point of entrance at the' wrist right through the flesh and so up to the place from whence they were taken out.

Charles Soderstrum, formerly mate of the seized scaling 6chooner Angel Dolly, has been trying to get $1,000 from Captain J. N. Knowles, agent of the burned ship Ocean King. His story, as told to Captain Knowles, was that he, with two others, rescued the'erew of the burning ship in April last, and that a check for $1,000, given him by Captain Sawyer, of the Ocean King, for his services was taken by Special Agent Tingle, of the Treasury Department, with the rest of the papers on board the Angel Dolly at the time of her seizure. As it is well known that the Ocean King was deserted in a sinking condition before she took fire, and that her crew were brought to land by the schooner Laura Madsen, Captain Knowles stuffed his ears like the adder and refused to listen to the voice of the charmer, and Sir. Soderstrum is still without his $1,000. .N. N

In the Woodbridge Presbyterian Church of this city there is an elder said to be not al:ogether. sound as, to his mind. This elder, when yet a youth, received the ordinance of baptism according to the form prescribed by ' the canons of the church. Not long ago this elder, fearing lest after all the only true baptism is by immersion, determined not to imperil, by any neglect of his own, his hopes of hal vatiou. Consequently he applied to a clergyman of the Baptist creed, and. was by him baptized by immersion. This fact was duly chronicled in the records of the church, and to that record the Presbytery, at its last meeting, objected, arguing that the baptism by immersion was it refection on the sanctity of the elder's original acceptance of the ordinance. To this acion of the Presbytery the Rev. James Woodworth has objected, alleging that there is nothing in the -General Assembly against the course pursued by the elder, apd that the action of the Presbytery is a direct interference with conscience. At its meeting yesterday the Presbytery appointed the following irentlemen as a committee to defend the action of the Presbytery before the Synod of the Pacific, which meets in October: Rev. James Matthews, J..8. Thompson, Elder T. A. Robinson..- .. , , A letter of dismissal to the Sacramento Presbytery has been granted to licentiate C. J. A. Porter. Rev. Duncan Monroe, of the Concord Church, asked for a letter of dismissal ; the letter was, refused. The cause of the refusal is, it was intimated, because tie gentleman named claims to have a lien on the church property, and only awaits his release from the Presbytery to hand the church over to the Congregational denomination. The Committee on Presbyterial Visitation recommended the appointment of the following committees, 6aiu committees to visit the respective church on or belore December Ist :

THE PRESBYTERY.

Already there is considerable stir in politic;* circles in ancicipation of changes which Governor Waterman is expected to make in certain appointive offices. It is confidently aa« serted by some who profess to be well informed as to the turn affairs are taking, that some speedy removals may b« looked for. ' la consequence a number of applicants for the crumbs ot office are bestirring themselves to lay their claims and qualifications before the new Executive. Indeed, some of these enterprising gentlemen moved with such celerity that they attempted . to approach Governor Waterman ere the breath of lifts had fairly flickered out of hU lamented predecessor. Certainly some were trying to drum up "influence for future use while Governor Bartlett was still battlingwith death in Oakland. Now it is claimed that successors will soon be appointed to succeed State Printer Shoaff, Adjutant-General Cosby and Registrar Walsh, and an active canvass ia going on to see who shall get the coveted places. The two prominent competitors for General Cosby's place are stated tope General John P. Sheehan, late of the Evening Post, and Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Orton, of the First Infantry. .It seems to be generally conceded that General Walsh will be succedeu without much delay as Registrar, but who will fill his place is a very much mixed question. Fred Fowler, perennial candidate for local offices, is after the place, and so ia ex Registrar Tharp. Ex-Collector Thomas Shannon is being urged by his friends and exPostmaster James Coev v an applicant. Well informed Republicans intimate, however, that all the above-named will be given the go-by, and that some man not active In primary politics will be appointed. With some show of confidence it is asserted that a successor to State Printer Shoaff has already been settled upon, but the lucky man's name hurt not yet been made public. It is understood, however, that Ex-Supervisor Valleau, of this city, and ex-State Printer J. D. Young, of Sacramento, are being pushed for the appointment. Among other things, rumor state* that Governor Waterman will make changes shortly in the personnel of the Board of Health, but just where the lightning is expected to strike nobody seems to snow. Speaking of appointments, the assertion that Governor Waterman's second appointment wan a Democrat is not a fact. The statement had reference to Columbus Bartlett, brother of the late Governor, who was appointed Regent of the State University to fill the Tacancy caused by the death of the late Charles Ashburner. Columbus Bartlett is, and haa been ever since IStiO, a Republican in good standing. In 18S2 he \t;ih a nominee on the Republican ticket for Superior Judge, while at the same time the niun» of his brother headed the Democratic local ticket, as the nominee for Mayor. Colonel Smedburg's friends are extrena«l.y a fix inns to see him appointed to the vacant Major-Generalship of the National Guard, whilefmany others are urging the appointment of Colonel Allen, Pension Agent at this point. : - Governor Waterman was busy yesterday receiving callers, there being a constant stream all morning. lie has appointed R. L>. McElroy, of San Francisco, a Notary Public, •vice himself: and 11. W. Wallet, oi San Diego, vice J. R. Wadham, resigned. Bank Commissioner White went to Sacramento on Sunday, and was in consultation with the Governor yesterday.

D., read a paper upon the recent , order from the ] Bureau of ; Education, representing ;the United States Government, directing that all the instruction in the schools in Alaska, : supported wholly or in part by the Government, shall be in the English language. ' Dr. Lindsley | alluded -to his . familiarity . with the work of education among . Indian tribes, gained" during f, his < long • experience while* avresident ;. of-*- Oregon, to \ : show, that he spoke from ; a • practical ' knowledge -of ..the • •subject.- Ho wa« opposed to the order, because it was against ;natare.~; There is nothing^ that will give one access to those whom they wish to influence^ and instruct like addressing them in their own tongue. He cited numerous casna in proof, and by way of illustration, among them being the work of the Bible Readers in Ireland sonic years ago,' who began with the use of the English language, but finding that but little success attended their efforts, adopted the vernacular of the people, after which the progress was remarkably apparent. H.e also referred to the gift of tongues to the Apostles on the day of Pe&tacost by which they were enabled to address | every . man 'in the language "in 'which he was born." He thought' there were Borne sinister motives prompting the order, and advocated an effort to secure its removal, or a modification of it, at least. He would, at any rate, have the Boards of the Presbyterian Church engaged in educational work "among the natives left free to prosecute it in their own way. . .»-."",. ,;>*»^ Rev. John Carrineton, long *a missionary -in Siam, saul he would have English taught to all capable of learning it, but. , would have religious instruction given in the. native language, liev. Albert Williams proposed. to have the adults taught in the native language, ' " but the children instructed in English. Rev. E. Y. Garrett endorsed the order, while Rev. J. Q. Adams thought it would interfere very 'much with Presbyterian Boards in Alaska, j A number of 'the ministers stated their impression that while the order was ostensibly designed to promote a knowledge of the English language among the natives, it also aimed at the placing of political favorites in the places of Christian teachers. Rev* Dr. Lindsley was, by resolution, requested to prepare a paper expressive of tho views of the Association on the subject, for presentation to tho Synod of the Pacific at its approaching annual meeting.

La6t Thursday night the firewater of the publicans and sinners overcame the musical Salvationist aud caused him to haul a heathen, one Ah Woe, around by the throat on Union street in an attempt to convert and save the unlucky disciple 'of Confucius. Ah Woe wa6 not gathered into the ranks, and made a rapid escape, but treasured in bis inmost mind his assailant's attack. Last night, as Peterson was expounding his tenetl*and pounding the drum at the regular evening reunion of the Salvation Army on Commercial 6treet, Ah Woe meandered along, and recognizing his missionary friend, caused his arrest on a charge of battery. Escorted by the entire rank and file of the Army, with drums beating and flags flying, Peterson made his appearance at the Central Station, whero the unfortunate martyr was locked up for safe keeping.
