Mr. Swing is charged by Prof. Patton with recresnecy to his faith, and with s violation of his ** ordination vows." Ho framos the indictment of Ar, Swing ag & heretic, and the world looks on, won- doring at the resurrcotion of such intol- orance. In his argument for the prosecution Mr. Patton brings out his points. Hoe nccuses Prof. 8wing of not proachiug Presbytorianism. He nowhore charges him with denying positive- ly nny point of the Presbyterian creed. His cbarges aro to the offoct that thoro is, in the defondant’s vermons, an absenco of allugion to somo distinctly and peculiarly Presbytorion doctrinos; that in them there {8 no professed statoment of theso dootrines; thab Mr. Bwing hos been guilty of uaing oquivooal langusgo ; in tive, that his mermons aro not Prosbyterian, In & ,clvil comrt, such an indictmont would bu quashed immedistoly as charging 1o offenso; for, it must bo remarked, it 1y not cluined by Prof. Patton iu his specificntions or argument thut Mr, Swing bos donled auy point of the Progbyterian fuith, o charges nim only with haviog preached o number of sermons which have in thom no traces of Prosbyiorian- ismn, but which contain many uncertain utter~ ances. Ho charges thut Prof, Swing has acon- pied o doubtful poaition, aud sald cdrtain things which a Uniturian might subucribe to. It may be that Mr. wing ie not & Presbytorian in the technical sense of the word, I fs cartain that Mr, Patton is.

THE CITY MONEYS, . e print this morning a rathor romnrkabls correspondonce between Comptrollor Hayes and City Trensuver O'Hara. The platform of the Pooplo's Party declared that the intercst on the City moneys doposited in banks should be turned into the City Treasury, and dr. O'Hara mado o specifio pledge that ho would relinquish such intorest. In copformity with this undorstand- ing, Mr. Hayes recentiy onlled 3fr. O'Hara's at~ toption to tho fact that he had failed to turn over the interest on tho Olty deposits, and roquested himto do go. }r. O'Ham,in reply, claims tho right to disposo of the intereat on the ground that he gives $1,500,000 bonds, and that the intereat so far has baroly sufliced to cover tho exponses of his office. 1t seems to us that both tho Comptrolior and Troneurer are out of the way in this mattor. Tho ity obarter males tho uso of tbe City monpys a penal oftense, which can only be avoided under the smondment by tho authorization of the Common ,Council that the moneys shall be wused. There has boen no such sutborization, The City Treasurer ig required to mako oath, the first of every montl, that ho has not ** unlawfully” used the City moneya in his bands. Inreference to this oath, Mr. O'Hara asked tho opiuion of tho City Attornoy as to whethor the dopositing of the money on interest wos o loso, and, thereforo, o ugo of the money. If wo remombar aright, the City Attarney gavo an opinion that the do- cigions and Jaw-writers havo held that » deposit drowing interost is o losn. If this opinion is ocorcoct, Alr. O'Hara has no legal right to draw intorest on the do- posits of City money in the sbucaco of tle authorization from the Common Council. ‘The oxpensos of the City Tressuror's offico heve nothing to do with the matter. A ealary is fixed by law for the City Troasurer, and, if o chooses to employ somebody elso to do the work, that is iy look-out. This snlary may bo inadequute, but it is not. I!wml to mako up the defiolency by loaning the City monoy without tho congent and direotion of the Common Council. In this view of tho controversy, Mr. Flsyes cannot demand tho peyment into tho City Troasury of tho intorest recelved on City funds ; but, on the other hand, Mr, O'Hara moy not draw interest on tho City funds. It will be well for all the parties con- corned, and alo for tho interest of tho city, that this matter bo definitely sottled according to law bofare it goes any turlher, THE PRESIDENT AND THE AREANSAS ‘WAR, The conflict of authority in Arkansas bas boon grently aggravated by tho hositation of the Presdent to perform his plain duty, At the aloction in Novembor, 1873, Baxter was the Ro~ publican candidato for Govetnor and Brooks was yoted for by tho Opposition. The Brooks ticket, including Presidential Elcctors and Congross« men, was olected by about 6,000 majority, and a largo mnjority of the Legislaturo elocted was of tho same party. .But fho porsons in oflice so manipulated the returns attor they wore rocoived ihat the Republican tioket wau declared elected, and certificaton were issued to the Republican candudatos for the Leglelature. Bubsoquently, tho roturns thus munipulated and doctoredwore submitted to thia Legislaturo, and that body, which under tho Conatitution is the oxclusive autbority in such cago, declared that Baxtor was olected Govornor. Ho hos-boon Govornor do facto ovor since. Brooks appealed to tho courts, but the Bnprome Court refused to hear him, a8 the Legiulaturo had exclusive jurisdiction. Mr Daxter is s native citizen of Arkanens, and, to tho great disgust of the Logislsturo and cor- raptionists, he proved to be zi: honost man, and votood ond otherwise dofeated various schomos for swindliny the people. e thorefors becamo distestoful to those wlio had fraudulontly do- clavod'him eleoted, Tho roturns of the election in 1874 for mombors of tho Legislature and Congreusmen will bo in the control of the CGovernor and his friends, and henco Baxter, be- ing boneat, might prove troublesoms Lercnfter. Tho lending politiclans thorefore put up Brooks to yenow his claim, and an inforior Court, upon un ex-parte hearing, declared bim Governor. 'Ihese are the facts. The phrase ' domosatio violonoe,” meutioned in the United Btates Constitution, iy any rosiat- ance to the existing Governmout in a Btale, aud toput thie down the Prosidont of tho United Btatea la roquirod to furnish ald upon the mppli- onilon of the Logialature, ox,when the Liogislature Iy nob o wesslon; of the.

Dorr clalmed to havs boen electod Governor, nand as such assumod to oxorcigo tho dutios of that offico. Tho Stato Government in Rhodo Teland ignorad alt those proceedings, untit Dorr called out the militia to ald him, Civil war was thus imminont, whon tho other Governor of the Btato applied to the Prosidont for’ aid to sup- prosa the domostio violonco, Prosidont Tyler sent tho ald; the war consod, Dotr was arrcat- od, triod, and convicted of treason.

Subsoquently he brought sult ogbinst his cap- tors, and the onse wont to the Bupreme Coutt of the United Btates. Ohlef-Justice Tauoy deliv- ered tho opinion of the Court, in which the Pres- {dont's powor was declnrod to bo complate and bhis authority final. The Court emd By tho act of February, 1705, the powar of doclding whethor the exigency had risen upon which the Gov- ernment of Lo United Btates 1o bound to {uterfers fs frivon to tho Prosident, Mo i to act upon tho applica- tlon of tho Legislaturo or of the Exocutive, snd conse~ quontly o must dotormino what body of men con- stituto tho Leglslature sud who is tie Govarnor bo~ foroLie can act.

The Courts must follow the action of tho political powor. In the onso of foreign na- tions, thie Govornment recognizod by the Presi- dont i3 always recognized by thio courts of jus- tico, and **this principio has boon appliod by the act of Congress to the sovorolgu Statos of the Union."” Upon the point that to lodge such s power in the hands of the President would bs dangoeroua to liberty, tho Court mid : All power may bo abused If placed In unworthy hands, But it would bo dificult, wa think, to point autsuy othor hands in which this power would be more safo sud at tho same time equally effectunl, When citizens of the samo Blate aro lo arma agasinst aach other, and the constituted suthorities upablo to exoonte tho laws, tho dntarposition of the Unitod Statcs ‘must bo prompt, or 1t 1z of little value, The ordinary courso of proceedings in courts of justice would be ut- torly unft for o crists, And the elevatod office of tho President, chosones hio {8 by tho people of tho United States, snd the high respansibility ho cannot £ail to fecl whon scting in a oase of g0 much moment, appear to furnish a8 strong safegusrds against » will- ful abuso of powor 88 human prudence aud foresight could wall provido, At all ovents, it is conferred upon him by the Constitution and laws of the Unlted Blates, snd must, therefore, be respected and enforcad 1o its Judictal tribunals, This {8 the Iaw in the case.. The Coustitution makes the Prasident the sole arbiter. In his doalsion of the case Lie hus original and exolusive jurindfetion, and, though he may properly be inBuenced by the judgments of the Btate Courta and of the Legislature, still he isnot bound to follow either should the facts in bis judgment weerant & difforent course, The fault of the Presidont in this cagseis thatho hes permitted this diegraceful controversy to continue so long when his duty was cloarly defined. The Prosi- dont's decigion w8 to which person shall ba rucognized 58 Giovernor does nut in any way in- torfore with such atops as the Stato Governmont may horoafter talie to romodol their Constitution sndreform their laws.

Housea s in gesslon and ready to pro- cood to business. Gov. Baxtor bos sig- nified his intention of asking the DPresident to support him in quelling the jnsurrection now in existenco. When this domand has been mads, the Prosident will doubtloes accedo to it without hesitation. In doing eo, he may or may not bo actuated by personal considera- tions; fn sny ovont, his decisfon will be striotly within the law applying to the cage, Tho loss of life and property in Arkansas cauged by the performances of Mr. Brooks snd his supporters might have boon averted by che oxercise of the righte vested in tho President on tho very day attor Baxter was driven from the Htate-House WILLTAM THE TESTY AND HIS CURRENCY, 1In 1654, Wilbelmus Kieft, who bay beon em- balmed in Knickorbocker's History of Now York as ** William tho Testy,” becoms Govornor of the Notherlands, which ho raled from his home in Now Amsterdnm, tha Now York of to-day, Hohod but s scanty rovouue to supporttho nocessery Gubernatorial pomp, In an evil mo- ment o docreed that wampum should be a logale tonder, and enforcod his docroo by payingoft 11 tho debts of tho Stato with strings of eholls, His subordinatos scoured tho sbores of Long Island.

As to the way: The employment of in- spoctora to sce that the way is slways in good condition ; the oreotion of better foncing; @ cer- tain longth of separsteand distinet lnes through junctions and at important stations nevor used for shunting purposes. 2.

Mr, Jefferies thinks tho prejudice agalnst high speed 18 founded on the mistaken notlon that high speed inoreases tho chances of eccident. The wrong position of tho points, the nogloct to shunt trains out of the way, and the waat of means to bring the car- ringos to s atandatlll, are the throo causea of sccidents, The necesaity of a Railway-Accident bill is making itself felt in England on account of the great number of sad mishaps recontly. 8o common were they, not vory long ego, that it was said “‘some of the papers kept a standing heading always in type, uuder which to place the telegrams and reports of adoidonts which were gure to arrive.” DANGER IN THE TEARQT. ‘Look nat upon the tea when it is strong.
