Adviees from Fort Yuma,in Arizona, state that large numbers of Mexican refugees are as- sembling im the Territory, p: to marching into Sonora. They are Tein. forced by the Cowpan Indians. Nearly two hundred Apache Indians entered a Mexi- can town and plundered the merchants in a most merciless mamner. The food at Fort Yuma is ineufficient for the garrison. Snow storms have rendered the roads impassible. Prescott City is blockaded by the snow, and the citizens are threatened with starvation. A gTand council of the Mariposa, Pinco, Mohare, and Yuma Indians, had been held for the pur- baad of forming an expedition against the paches. Brevet Major General Devens, commanding at Charl ston, has issued an order turning over the entire police contro! of the city to the Mayor and city authorities. The General says: -It is not expected that the police will attempt to en- force any laws or ordinances which make dis- tinction on account of color between the citi- zens of the State, an: whites. hen arrests of persons of color are made, such persons will be turned over to the Provost Marehal for trial before the Provost or other Military Courts, with the necessary in- formation as to the evidence against them. A gentleman just returned to New Orleans, from Arkansas, reports that State to be in an unsettled, disorganized condition. In many parte of the country the inhabitants are actu- ally threatened with famine. Life and prop- erty are everywhere insecure, and murders and robberies are of almost every day occur- rence. Noone thinks of travelling unarmed, the people making use of muskets, shot guns, &c., where no better weapons are to be found. He had gone to that State to live. but the con- dition of the country and society was euch as to induce him to abandon the idea. Major General Canby, the Commanding General of the Department of Leuisiana, has issued an order prohibiting the courts of that State from exercising jurisdiction over cases where officers, enlisted men, recruits or camp- followers, of the United States army are charged with offences for acts done in their military capacity, or pursuant to orders from competent military anthority; and also in other cases where loyal citizens are charged with of- fences consisting in acts of detence or acts of Aggression againet the forces of the late Con- federate States, The Fenian Congress yesterday appointed a committee to confer with the Fenian Senate, and adopted a resolution directing the Presi- dent of the Senate to report directly to the Con- gress. Roberts replied to the Congress that he did notfrecognize the legality of the Congre: but was willing that the books and papers o: the Senate should be examined. Mr. Killian’s financial report is ready for the Congress. Colonel O’Mahony’s address was read to the Congress in the afternoon. Colonel Meehon has written an appeal to O’Mahony and Roberts to resign simultaneously. The singular disappearance of Mr. Hubbell, cashier of the Mississquoi Bank, at Shelden, Vt., is at lastaccounted for. He turnsoutto be adefaulter in a large amount, stated to be as high as $75,000. His embezzlement began a year ago, but were so covered by false entries and false footings as to elude detection. The bank assets are believed to be sufficient for the redemption of the bills. Gerard Hallock, the founder and for many years the proprietor of the New York Journal of Commerce, died at his residence in that city at half past nine o’clock lastevening. He had been suffering from a complication of disorders for the last six monthe, but was not contined to his residence until two weeks past. He was sixty-six years of age.

Resolutions were adopted approving the policy of termi- nating the reciprocity treaty betwogy the United States and Canada. The steamer Minme collided with one of the monitors lying off the city of Cairo, and sunk Tuesday afternoon. She was a new, first-class stern-wheel boat, valued at $45,000, and in- surred for $30,009, Fires in Boston, and?Racine, Wisconsin, yes- terday, destroyed property to the value of $150,000. Another earthquake was feltat Porto Rico at midnight on the i0th of December, but no serious damage was occasioned. Rey. Dr. Cummings, of St. Stephen's Catholic Church, New York, died suddenly yesterday. EXCITEMENT IN THE ESTABLISHED CaHURCH —Preposed Re-union with Rome.—The practica- bility and desirableness of a re-union of the Established Church of Great Britain with Rome is a question which has beén started b: some of the leading High Churchmen, and al- ready parties are Eepacwesing, pro and con. Among those who have pronounced against it is Canon McNeile, who contends that the idea of re-union with Rome showed on the part of its originators a greater acquaintance with books than with men, and that such astep was impracticable, if for po other reason, because the Church of Rome met all propositions for mutual concession by the claim of implicit au- thority. The journals, too, are taking part in the controversy. The Mcrning Post says: “The leaders of the new movement are men with whom the vast me ed of the people haye nosympathy, and the consequence may be very disastrous :—‘It is not difficult to see that when a reaction does take interference of the civil power. Already the first warning notes of the strife are ing heard. The Bishop of London, it is believed, ‘Will loge no time in bringing under the notice of Parliament the present working of the Ru- bric respecting the dress of ministers and the ornaments of the Church. His object will be to get that Rubric repealed, and there is no reason to doubt that he will be warmly eus- tained by the author of the celebrated ‘Durham Letter,’ now at the head of the Government. The first effect of ng Soe step by the Bish- oR. of London will the division of the Church into two new parties, and the proy- ocation of @ contest far more alarming than we have had since the Gorham case. If, when that strife comes there should be a strong anti- Church party in the House of Commons—a Royal commission on Rubrics—a portentous tampeting with the Prayer-book—a number of new and narrow restrictions—and a great loss of the liturgical freedom which is now enjoyed —in that day of utter confusion and discomfit- ure, the burners of incense and the bearers ot obsolete vestments will med haye themselves to thank forthe mischief they haye wrought and the penalty they will have to pay. It is only justice to some great names hitherto asso- ciated with the school of ,which those Ritual- ists are an offshot, to add that amongst the ad- vocates of copes and chasubles, masses and in- cense, and all the extreme nonsense which have made some London churches notorious, there is not one name of note.” _g @7-The congregation of the Chicago Lutheran Church have split, one faction electing a new pastor, the other retaining the old pastor. The new pastor faction occupied the church on Monday night, keeping the others who held the keys out in the cold. The police refused to interfere. &7-The number of postage stamps made by the National Bank Note “ompany for the year 1665, has been abeut four hundred millions. The number of three cents stamps used is about one million perday. The stamps are rinted, perforated, gummed, and packed for iwelve cents a thousand. 7 The Empress Eugenie, during her . ent stay at Cempeigne, is attracting much at tention by the great simplicity of her dress. Her majesty receives her numerous visitors on the day of their arrival inadress of cashmere. 7 Two hundred and seventy-five cases of divorces have been granted in Chicago the past year. s7 The activity in the organization of the Canadian militiais kept up, and itis expected by next spring to have a force of 80,000 men for service. 89” The Surgeon General will issue an order in afew days discontinning all United States General Hospitals.

Cook, of Greensboro’, Pa., chief clerk of the peeeen a of the General reo ee, @ ry e complainants, and Jos. H Bradley afd J.J. Coombe, Eaqe, for the reepondents. 1t will be recollected that this bill was filed After the late election at which there was such Ab overwhelming majority just negro suf- » to restrain the from paying the expenses of said election, and bearing attracted quite a crowd of spectators, Iuclu several members o/ the city councils. Mr. Bradley acknowledged the ser vice of the writ, and Mr. Cook proceeded to read the = which sets forth that the its are, have been, citizens and tax Ts ot Washing- ton, and tbat they have an t in any ex- penditures on account of said eity; that Oon- gress has exclusive jurisdiction over the city of Washington, and that the powers conferred by the charter of said city are limited and spe- cial, and that the enly eléctions authorized are for Mayor and members of the City Councils, and that they have no authority to anthor- ize an election for political pur, or in reference to the extension of the Franchise wo persons of color; that in disregard of the char- ter and of the laws of Congress the Councils authorized a special election to be held: that such election was held; that the regular judges of general elections were authorized to act, and that to pay the expenses of said election money paid for taxes was to be used, thus misusing said money and creating a necessity for addi- tional taxation. The bil] further sets forth that, at a meeting of the dof Aldermen on the 18th of De- cember, 1665, a resolution was adopted author- izing the Secretary of said Board to haye 500 copies of the speech of Thos. E. Lioyd, Esq., in opposition to negro suff: age, printed for the use of the members of the said board, and that the said Council intended toappropriate a sum of money out of taxes collected and designed ior other purposes, to pay the expense of print- ing said speech. The complainants therefore pray that an order may issue restraining the said Councils from making any appropriation for the pu aforessid: and, also, that the Mayor and the City Register may be enjoined not to pay such moneys. Mr. Bradley said that he understood that de- positions had been taken, showing that the or- dinance was passed, the election held, &e., and that the bill would speak for itself, as also the returns. These were matters of record, and admuitied by the respondents, and in this re- spect it was a prima facie case. After admit- ting the facts alleged im the bill to be true, he proposed to show why the injunction should not issue, The position taken by the respond- ss to Tia the same as if a demurer had been made. In answer to & suggestion of the Court as to the order of discussion, Mr. —— the respondents were in the position as having de- murred to the bill. The depositions taken in the case having been produced, Mr. Bradley stated that if they were merely confirmatory of the allegations contained in the bill, he was prepared to admit al the facts contained therein. Mr. Cook jroposed to read the depositions, when Judge Cartier said he could not under- stand how the depositions could make a stronger case de hors the bill than was in it, if the allegations contained in the bill were ad- mitted to be true. If the depositions do show a stronger case than the bill, they could not be incorporated in it. Mr. Cook.—True; but the depositions willadd keenness and force to bill. The Conrt—Then the depositions are only ie ges of the bill. r. Cook said they would prove nothing more, but they would convey to the mind of a chancellor that the facts as stated were true. Mr. Bradley again proposed to admit all the a contained in the bill. r. Alderime: Council, to the effect that appropriations had been made to pay the expenses of the special election, and also the expense of printing Mr. T.E. Lioya’s speech, when— Mr. Coombs objected. Hesaid they hadcome there to meet and answer the aYegations as set forth in this bill, and they were prepared to show that the court had no power to restrain the Board ot Aldermen and d of Common Council from any legislative action. They cawe to meet the bill, which prayed for an in- junction to restrain the appropriation of money, and therefore the affidavite were objected to. The complainant has a right to produce affida- vits to show that the allegations set forth in his bill are true, but he cannot enlarge the allega- tions by any extraneous matter. The Court said he understood the bill to set forth that it was the intention of the Councils to_pay the expenses of the election Mr Coombs said the bili was defective if the affidavits were admitted, for there is nothing in it showing that an appropriation had been made, and the counsel must dismiss his bill or commence over, for the prayer was for an in- junction to prevent the Councils from making ‘an apprcpriation. The Court said the affidavits, he understood, did not appertain to the bill; but were explana- “y of its purposes. r. Bradley said that as he understood the bill it was to restrain the Councils from making any appropriation hereafier for the payment of the expenses of the election. ‘Mr. Gvombs argued thatan injunction to pre- vent the payment of money was one thing, and to prevent.an appropriation to pay money was another. He was here to answer the second question, and to show that it was not in the power of the court to enjoin actions pes: cee to be done in a legislative capacity; and now the complamant brings outside evidence to mect a deficiency in this bill. He was pre- pared to meet the prayer to restrain the appro- priation of money by the Councils. It the ap- propriations haye already been made, why make the members of the Councils parties to this action? In such an event it was only necessary to enjoin the Treasurer or Register of the city; but thie bill was for the purpose of restraining legislation. If there has been no legislation, then there is no reason toapprehend apayment. The counsel must take some defi- nite position, and if he has come here with a miserably defective bill, the respondent 1s not here to meet it. He must make a case before it can be met. . Mr. Bradley argued that, as the bill con- tained no averment of legislative action, the affidavit could net be admitted. If legislative action had been had, then the pri prayer would be to restrain the Register. The court could not interfere with legislative »ction, but it could restrain the executive from making the law effective . Mr. Cook said it had well been said that dredging amid technicalities, in the eye of the law Gnd in the keen glance of a chancellor, is odious. The city is represented by the re- spondents, who either did or did not authorize an electién beyond the range of the charter under which they act. If they did so, they either pprersi money to defray the ex- penee of the election or they did not. Whether it is their design to make the appropriation ts ign is an im) t inquiry; and this design - cifically charged in the bill as against a oor. tion of the dents who are members of the two boards. Mr. Cook proceeded to argue that the design was not consummated, as the expense had not yet been paid, and therefore the design ee of the city authorities was unexecuted. The bill was correct, and the affidavits proposed to be introduced were age as areving the allegation of the bill. at this is not all. The bill looks upon the representatives of the people as acting without authority, and he Cook) w not hes- itate to say that w! ‘Was termed legislation in this case had no essence of legislation in it. : EB "peomain implies proper persons to legislate and & proper subject matter, but in this case it will appear that the members of the councils had recklessly disregarded the provisions of the charter. suggested to Mr. Cook that he was wandering from the subject mater.
