The reasons mssigned for this conclusion are that properts- ownors, whose acquicscence is necossary, do not favor tho sale of the property ; but an injunc- tion forbidding it has been issued by Judge Drummond, snd that the city's title is doubtfal.

Gon. Bhorman succeedod him as Liou- tenant Goneral, Upon Gon. Grant's accession to tho Presidency, in 1869, Shorofan was made Gonoral and Shoridsn Lieutenant General. The hoadquarters of the army sinco Gon. Shorman's appointmont have boon at Washington, as thoy wero while Grant was Gonoral. It is afiirmed in the article taken from tho Free Press that there has boen a syatomatic cffort to romovo Gen. Bhorman from the political contre of the Govornmont, and locate lis hoadquariors at Bt, Louls, founded upon a suspicion that Gen. Bhormen might bo thought of as President in 1876,~consequently that Gon. Bherman is to be banished to 8t.

Tho Cedar Ropida Republican propounds the all-important question, *“ Hus the Ropublican party no central organ in tho West?” The question is mado urgont by tho treason of the Chicago Infer-Ocean. The Towa paper declaves that the I.-0. hay committed & fraud, It bogun life 08 & ' steadfest and wucompromising nd- horent ‘of the Administration.” Xt denounced overybody who darod to malign -the Presldent. Thus atttesting ita loyalty, the paper commend- ed itselt to Ropublicuns, who supported it with “ subseriptions and friondsbip,” in hopos that it would #ill the place made vacant by the “ por- {idy -of Tue Omoago Tpwuse.” The I-0., 80 tho Towa paper says, commended itsolf to Ropublicans by donouncing other papers for baving an opinion and judgment of their own, and promising novor to be guilty of such indigoretion itself; that its motto was * indepondent in nothing,” aud that, imphedly, 1t wonld never oxpross an opinion not provionsly sanctioned by the Proyldont, The Iowa brother charges that the 1.- 0. has not kept faith. It has boon guilty of perfidy. The I.-0. moy be ex- cusable for supporting inflation when it did not kuow the Prosident’s opiuion; but, whon tho Prosident spoke, the I.-0, *snesed back." Hera is the way tho paper at Cedar Rapids puts it: 1t [tho Currency Uill] wont to the White Touse, and there, {n the palaco whoso hief acoupont hagbeon the pride and pet of the Inter-Ocean, 1t was slsughlered, and by his hnnd, and tho Znter-Ocean, tnstead of ful- Atting the promtscs it had made to the party, inslead of proving s loyalty by ytelding to the will of the peopte’s consercator, falls to cireulating rumors and calomnics as aucan and ainistor as any wa have scen in the colunina of the ao-calied independent press. It has not triod to heal the wounds mado by tho veto ; it has not connacled moderation aud dfsoretion among tho infla~ tioniats ; but, on tho contrary, it s jmpugned the motives of tho President ; insinuated that his Demo- cratio proclivities muy have got tho botter of hia Judg- ment, and, in ways 10t quite smounting to poaitive duclarations of dlsloyalty, eucouraged the fanutics in thelr tirada on the Executive, and winked at their threats to divide and smash the party unless thelr de- mnuds for moz currency woro accoded to, But tho Towa paper, spoaking from ihe high voint of party discipline, goes further, and de- clares that, to admit the justness and soundness of the censures which the I.-0. has visited upon the Prosident since his veto of the Cwirency bill, roquires ono to admit **that Tur Omrcaco Trin- ONE (ond othor papers) wore right in seceding from the Rgpublican party, becauso thoy found themeelives impotout to control it.” Hero, then, we lave the I.-0. boldly accused of stealing ‘‘anbacriptions and friendship " under plodges of pever Laving an opinion of its own; nover op- poeing the “willof the people’s conservator,” and placing itself before its deludod subseribers as threntening to leave the party unless it can control it. And then comes tho hot warning to the 1.-0. people that ** it will not do for » journal to bo reading lecturea to ite neigh- bors about party fealty and party loyalty whon it Lias no higher claim to favor among patriots and devotees than thoso whom it dencunces.” Here is a timoly roprimand. What right hos o paper which obtained a small list of subscribors who wanted o papor that would be indepondent in nothing, and never have s word to asy in oppo~ sition to tho Prosident, to publish column after column of stuff to show that tho President has doue wrong, that he did not underatand the sub- Jeot, and had been “ influencod” by the Lastern bondholders, Bhall troagon like this bo tole- rated ? Has the Republican party an organ in the West? Graln-shippers in Bangor, LaCrosse County, Wie., bave joined issue with the Milwaukos & 8t. Paul Company on the logality of the mew Railrord Inw. Thoy refuso to pay beyond the schedule rates of the Commissioners on con- signments of grain. Tho agont of the Company Lhias bacn instructed to refuse froight offored on theso torms, and to inform tho poople of DBangor that they may use the railroad on tho Company’s terms or not use it at all—in other words, that trains will not stop at that station if any attempt is made to coorco tho Gompany. This is a now, and not a plensant, development in the Wiscon- sin war. It is tho firat indication of a purpose to ask no favor and give nono, Its expediency is doubtful, since tho Companics are not ina position to diotate terma to the poople of Wis— consin. If defentod in the courts, they can only look to the mon whom they aro now fighting for Justico, At tho presont writing, Goulard has not suo- coeded In forming a new Ministry under Presi- dent MaoMahon's Administration, and his pros- peots of success become every hour morercmotoe. ‘There {a an abundance of spooulation about the meaning of tho late dispatches from Paris, most of which (s idlo and much of which is silly. No intelligont interpretation can be given of mengre allusions to combinations and possible conspiracics in the Asgembly dis- connected from n statement of the quostions which aro uppermost. We suggested yosterday that those wore the limitation of tho suffrage and the control of municipalities by the contral Government.

The after- noon was occupied by the Rev. Dr. Patterson, one of Prof. Patton's coadjutors in the I'hoolog~ ical Soniinary of the Northwest, and, in point of zesidenco, the oldest Presbytorian clergymean in this saction of the country. He spoke for somo- thing more than two hours, considoring the case in its relation to the Now Bchool theology 88 formulated thirty-slx yenrs ago in the Auburn decluation. This decluration way dis- tinctly rocognized a8 orthodox in the busis of Tounion between the two branches of tho Church in 1869. 1t was lleged by Dr, Patterson to bo widely difforent in rospect to many fundemental doctrines from the Confession of Fuith.

Evarts and Curtis on the Wiaconsin Railway law before our renders, and commented on thom. On Saturday wo published Senator Carpontoer's opinion on the same subject. Of all thoso opin- ious, that of Mr. Evarts seems to us tho sound- edt ; for, while he did not deny that the Logis- lature of Wisconsin might proscribe a schedule sion of Taith is shown to be out-at- | ©f rates for railroads oporated within the State, the-elbows o far o the purposes of Lo wnintained that that sohedulo should not ba the Presbyterian Church are conocerncd, | 8uch a8 io works violation of contracts or the Iudeod, Dr. Patterson frankly admitted | tekivg of privato property for publiv use that ho favored o speedy amondmont of | Without duo compensation. Mr. Lvarts s of opinion that any law which really takes the proporty of a corporation for public ugo without compensation is unconstitutional. Considering that Mr, Lvarts was the birod coun- ol of the railway companies, aud rocolved, as report has it, some $5,000 or 10,000 for his serviced, thiy opinion way slogulmly impartial ; in which yespoot it stands in siugular contrast to Rouator Carpenter’s. It is to be regrotted that Bonator Carpenter consonted to notice the sov- eral lotters roceived from frionds ssking hie opinion on the constitutionality of tho Wisounsin Tailway law, His attitude on the question is so the Contossion, aud intimated that unless it wera soon mado the Ohurch could not long hold togother, To-dsy the Rev.

In discuss- ing tho quoestion, Mr. Carpoutor consldors tho Constitution of Wisconsin as it it had but one provision in it, viz. : that rallway charters might at any timo bo ropealed or modified by tho Log- islature, Ho forgets that this provision must be conatruod 8o a8 not to nontralize two woll- ostablished prinoiples of positivo law and noutral justico, viz.: (1) That tho%egielature Lis uot powor to invalidate contracts made by thoe railway corporations with their bona flde stooltholdors ; and (2) that it has not powor to deprive privato porsona of thelr proporty without compensation. It is elaimed by the railway cor- poration that the lute legivisn has fixed the compenantion thoy may reocive ut such figures that if they wore to oboy its provisions thoy wouldnot bo abla to pay the iuterest on thoir bonds or to oporate the roads without suffering large peouninry losses. If this bo 8o, of course tholaw s not constitntionnl, Mr. Carpentor's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding.

Talcott defond- sut, on wrib of orror from Michigan, docided that, whorever tho Constitution of o State is silont, ordoos not prohibit such legislation, tho Logielaturemay authorize loenl municipalities to ubscribo aid for the construction of railways. The Court upon this point say that tho loglsla- tivo powor of a State extends to evorything within tho sphoro of such powor oxcept as it is rostricted by the Tedoral and State Constitu~ tions, Upon the quostion whothwer this aid wae for & publia purposo, the Court say: But it has been argued that, neldo from any conati- tutfonsl prohibition, the Legialature had no power to suthorize theimposition of s tax for any other than a public purpose, and that this act was not within that rulo. Conceding for the purposes of thls opinion tho soundness of the first proposition, the second can Uy no means be sdmitted, Though the corporation ‘wasa privato, its work was publle, as much so as if it were to be constructed by the State, Privato property can be taken fora public purpose only, and not for privato galu or bonolit, Upou no other ground than thot the purposo j8 public can the exerclse of the power of eminent domain in bekolf of such corpora- tions ba supported, 'This view of tho subject has heen taken by tho Buprome Court of Michigan, Swan v, Williums, 2 Mich,, 497, But, upon other groands, we think the pubilo character of such works cannot be doubted, Where ithoy go thoy animato the sourcca of prosperity, aud minister to tho growth of the cities and towne within {he sphere of their influonco.

The gift to the sulferers from {hie overflow of tho Misaissippi, and prior acts of the kind, must slso bo boroe inmind, Caunot a State Legislature do tho samo things 7 Tt docs not belong Lo courts to futerpolate constitit. tional rostrictions, Our duty {8 (o apply the law, not tomake it, All power may bo abused where no safe- guards are provided, Tho remody iu such casea lics with the people aud not with the judiclary, We pass by without remark the polut whother in essos like thls tho publio or private chiaracter of the work is not 4 legualative rather than a judiclal question. The Bupreme Court of Mtichigan has in a number of casos ‘decided that the Constitution of the State did prohibit this kind of logislation, Herotoforo it bas becn considered that the sot- tlod construction of a Btato Constitution by tho Bupreme Court of o State would be uccopted by the Federal Courts, and followed in all mattors arising undor tho laws aud Constilution of that BStato. InthoIowarailrond-aidcases, dating back as far as 1810, the Supremo Court of Iows held that the railrond-nid legislation of the State was constitutional; this docision was ropented by the Court until somo time in 1860, when the Court reversed 1ts opintoua on the subjoct. The Buprome Court of the United Btates, in a score of cases tokon up from Iown, held that, the bonds having boen Issued under the interprota~ tion by tho Btato Bupromo Court, the logislation waa valid,—tho Bupreme Court of the United States would follow tho Btate interprotation in all cages whon tho bonda wore fusnod before tho State Coart hud changed it own opinion.

Tho nenrness of tho farm to the market ia tho rongon for this remarkable fact, The consus returng of 1870 prove it.

Btorms seem to be browing all around the theological horizon. {n England the prom- inont subject of daily talk is the current theo- logical dissensions in the Establishod Church, The strugglo fn'the Church of England betwoon tho Bishops and the Ritualistio clergy has broken out with oxéremo fiorconess in the Con- sistory Courts snd in Parlinment, whore the Archbishop of Cantorbury has introduced a bill providing for the moro effectual and prompt punishment of the olergy of the Cross-and-Candle porsusslon, Tho lattor have arrayed themselves for & bittor contest, and make no secret of thoir intention to socede rathor than submit to an fn- fringomont of what they call their libertica. The House of Lords will unquestionably pass the bill, and the prospects oro also favor- able to o similar disposition of it in the House of Commons, although it will not probably suc- cecd until efter s long and stubborn fight. Bhould it thus eventuato, a schism in the Church of England is inevitable. The struggle is not confined to the Church dignitarios, but rages with equal violence mmong the lomser lights, who fill the courts with Ritunlistic squabbles. One of the Intest of these wos n suit hrought by the Rev. Willinn Blako, a Rituslistic Roctor of ' Wotheral, ngaiust his churchwardens for tonring down some emblomatio evergreen decorations, and destroying & colloction of candles about the altar. While the Church of England is thus threatened with schism, the Ohurch in Ireland is in o similarly procarious condition, At the recent moeting of the Goneral Synod an important dis- cueslon arose upon the proposition to emact o bilt which would give the laity a preponderance in deciding modifications in the articles, doo- trines, and formulavios of tho Church. The Lord Primato said if this were agrood to, e should have to retirs to his diocose, as nothing but echism could rosult, aud tho Archbishop of Dublin (Dr. Trench), also announced that the 8ynod would decline to tako further partin the doliberations if the act ivoro passed. As thera is evory prospect that tho act will pass, the pros- pecta for o echism in Ireland sre just as bright as thoy aro in England. When these old- established consorvative cccloaiastionl bodies got by tho cars, and wrangle themeelves into echism, thore is no reason why Prof. Patton ehiould not employ his thoologloal eoumen sud enterpriso to forco the Proabyterian Church into o solism. Schism soems to bo the order of the day, or in other words Reform, which caunot woll be accomplished without schism ; and, as roform means progross, schism ought to be a very welcome cutcome of thoologleal dissension., Gen.

Tho Chairman sold, fu openivg the procesd- ings, thet the meoting was called for tho purpose of protesting against tho ropeal of the Eight- Hour law, and to indorso the action of the Industrial Congross recently hold at Roch- ostor, N.

He conoluded by introducing 3R, AIOHAEL TREVELLIOK, who commonced by stating that ho had not como thero with the intontion of uttoring any unkind word agalnst tho Administration, or to intlamo tho passions of his countrymen. ¥a would, howovor, acorn to shrink from uttoring anything that he concoived it to be s duty to say. Ho ‘would conslder the questions of TADOR AND PINANGE, two questions which that day ocoupled tlie at- tontion of tho country. Looking wrouud him in tho strecta of the city, ho was reminded of the quostion put_ by the Mastor 3,800 years A0, “Why atand ye hero all day idle I that quostion were putto suy laboring man in the Chicago atroots, his an- swor would bo, ‘* Bectuso noman hath employed mo.” Tha chief fault with the workingmen in the past, was that they had too much neglected their own intorests, aud delegated thoir work to porsons who did not servo thom faithfully.
