C., in a case testing the validity of the panel of a jury drawn of tax-payers irrespective of color, decided that altnongh the act of Congress of 1640 required the jurors o be drawn as prescribed by the Legislature of each respective State, yet that this must be consirued in reference to the change created by the war. He held that Congress as new constituted was the legal Congress of the whole country; that the reconstraction act of Congrees conferr:ng suffrage upon the negro was valid, and was the p'ovisional constitu. ton and law of the State. He held that Pres ident Jobngon had no power to restore any of the seceding States tothe Union. He say: «I say it with a grave sense of responsibility, it was incompetent for President Johnson by any act of bis to bind Congress and restore the State to the Union and connect it with it by constitutional ligaments and relations.” He held that there was no legal government or State constitution in South Carolina, and that under the exiting provisional government the reconstruction acts of Congress were the su- preme law snd constitution of the Stat says if there was any conetitation in rolina or any legal State government, then the act of 1S40, commanding the judge to ac- cept as jurors only these who are voters un- der the constitution of the State, qualified by the act of its Legisl: would be decisive of this question nd the panel shonid have been drawn alone ot white men; bat it is otherwise. THE Wor: PEOPLE —It is reported that reduction of ten per cent. in the wages of some of the Hartford factory employees has been rendered necessary by the dulness of businezs. Similar dulnees ic trade is reported from Great Britain, and it is stated that no tess than twenty to thirty thousand men connected with the iron trade on the Clyde have been thrown out of employment, owing to the eucceesful competi- tion of foreign with the home manufacture of the British Isles. In Brooklyn, tne strike smorg the printers continues, but the Brook- jJyn journals are got out by the labor of amateur compositors, the editors and other employees baving gone to work in the composing rooms. The strikis.g compositors are said to have dis- covered that come of the papers in New York lent their type to the Brooklyn papers after they had used it themselves, and considering that this was giving aid and comfort to thelr enemies, they posted circulars on the bulletins on Monday calling upon the compositors of the New York papers that had lent type to drop their work and take sides with them. This does not appear to have had any effect, however. There is also a printers’ strike in Memphis, the compositors of the Bulletin, of thai city, having left their stands. Some eom- Pporitors from Nashville having gone te Mem- pbis to take the place of these strikers, a fight took piace between the two bodies of printers, in which two men were severely woundei. At last accounts the old hands of the Memphi Bulletin bad returned to work. THe Naval ACADEMY aT ANXNAPOLIS.—The buildings in course of erection at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, are being nee progressed with. They consist of a chapel end quarters. The former is being built in the southern portion of the grounds, and near what was formerly the Maryland State Executive Mansion. itis of brick, brown stone dressings, and will be capacious, with a tall spire. The latter building is being erected in the northwestern part of the inct sure, near the hospital. and also near ti in- closure wall, but when completed (itis sup- posed at that time additional territory will be ane te the Institution) it will be centrally jocated. In this building will be quartered the entire ly of Cadets, which fact alone will give a iair estimate of its proporiions. The grounds are mest beautifully and tastefully laid off, and additions are being made constantly. One of the chief points of interest in the institution ts the Steam Engineering Depar'ment, located in the Northern section of the Academy, and near the seawall of the Severn. It isa lar building, built of brick, and contains some of the finest machinery that iserected ‘Che de- rign ie to impart to the Cadets a knowledge of steam engineering.

Ifsodnll and depressed @ market for dry fOods as the past week bas shown were to.uc cur two or three weeks later, we should say it Jooked unfavorable for the fall trade. Bat there was notbing discouraging in the dull- nets ot last week, and the large bolders of domestic goods were in an unnécessary haste to mark down their prices. The deciine fa New York Mills sheetings to the extent of «ight cents a yard naturally created a! .rm jobters, ana caused purchasers to bold off Until the bottom had been reached. Thece- cline im the prices of cotton, and the small sales of September, in a measure compclied this reduction. Some of the domestic commis- sion house, and agents, too, for the firsttime this season, had recourse to the auction room tor their inferior qualities of goode, it is trne; but the circumstances helped to create distrust and weaken confidence in the future. Thede- pression in cotton js had t's influence on ‘Woolens, particularly on the unseasonadle styles, which id mot be forced upon the market without a very considerable reauction. The a ction ‘Fooms nave been vey largely supplied with foreign fabrics, and importers have bad a rather dismal look ali the week. In brown js the trade has been light The demand for bleached shirtings and sheet- ings. even at the iation of last week, is but moderate, and the new Kinds of good which have but recently been put upon thi market hang heavily Cotton flannels are very dull for the season, and only the better qualities sustain quotations. Thetransaetions in printing cloths are very limited, and must continue 20 until the decline in the price of the Material isarrested. Prints have been less affected than almost any other desc: tion of domestice, and the better stvles more firmly held, the decline not being more than one cent ayard. The large offerings of the poorer descriptions of ginghams in the anction rooms this week have checked the sale of these goods of all kinde; bat the prices of the better qualities are firmly mamtained. Jaconete, cambrics, and silesias Are dull; bat ‘without material change. Linseys Rave been iu improved demand. Muslin de laines of good styles are firmly held; manufacturers sbow no disposition to force sales of their sea- sonable goods, The market can yet abserba very large stock of them. Woolen shawis of the various makes are duller than would be expected at this season of the year. Italias clovhs are very tar from being lively, and no improvement ‘can be expeeted now that the great clothing manufacturers have been sup- plied. Woolensare dull. except for the choice styles of cassimeres suitable for the season. Foreign goods of all kinds, except new style of eilke and a few novelties in dress goods are Beavy, and importers are anxious to be rid of their stocks. —New York Independent. The Proclamation of the Pope. The Pope has delivered the following ad- dress to the members of the Consistory on ihe uth ultimo: Relored Brethren—The Catholic world is well aware bow many times we have had to de- plore and reprove the erevious wrongs, and grave injories the Subalpin Government has, in defiance of all divine and human rights, and without regard to ecclesiastical censares aud penalties, inflicted for a number of years ‘on the Catholic Church, on us and this Aposto- lic See, on the bisnops, on the consecrated ministere, on the religious orders of both sexes, and on other pene institutions. That same Government did not oppress and continually reduce the Church by issuing orders which we bave condemned for being contrary to theau~ thority of this Church, bat it has gone sofar in its acts ot injustice as to dare to propose, approve, sanction and promulgate a racreligious law, which has within its own territory as weil as the one usurped by it, depiived the Oburch of all its property, to the great detriment of civil society. and has appropriated it for its own use, and ordered the sale of the same. It must beclear toevery- body bow unjust and cruel is a law which defirs the inviolable right of property which the Church claims by virtue ot its divine m- itution, a law which tramples on the rights nature and all divine and human righ's generally,ia law by which the members of the clergy, who have such great claims on the gratitude of Ustbolicism and civil society, and the virgins consecrated to God are reduced to the greatest misery and to beggary. In this dietress of the Ohurch, and with the over- throw of all rights of the Oburch before Us, We cannot tseuredly remain silent, for it 18 @ duty imposed upon ue, by our apos- tohe ministry, to defend and avenge the cause of justice with the greatest perse- verance. This is the reason why we eleyute our voice in your imposing assembly and re- prove with our apostolic authority the law in question, why we condemn it, and declare it annulled and without any value. May the authors and evil. doer know that they have ex- poeed themeel ves to the ecclesiastical penalties and censures which the sacred canons, the apostolic constitutions, the decrees of the gene- raj councils declare pro facto to be inflicted on those who viclate the rights of the Church and ururp its property. May they tremble and be afflicted with salutary awe, those inveterate enemies of the Church: may they be convinced that God, the author and avencer of His Church, will reserve for them the severest and heaviest chastisemenis, unless they sincerely repent and endeavor to stop and sasist in re- pairing the wrongs infilcted by them on this same Church. This isour mont frien hope, and we most humbly pray to God that he may hear ue. The Old Sc! 1 Presbyterians. AN OLD QUESTION REVIVED. The Synod of New York connected with the Old School Presbyterian Church, including the several Presbyteries of New York and vi- cinity, is now in session at the Ventral Presby- terian Church, in Brooklyn (Rey. Dr. Rock- well’s.) The session of the Synod began on Monday evening, with a sermon by Rev. Dr. Bavidson, of Huntington, L.I. Atthe business seasion yesterday the calling of the roll was proceed- ed with unul the name of Professor Eaton was announced as resentative of the First Church (Rev. Dr. Van Dy! jection was made to his réception on the ground that he was one o! the persons who aigned what is known &s the “Declaration and Testimony,” ‘which was presented by some of the southern churches and their sympathisers to the Gane- Tal Assembly of the Presbyterian Charch at its seseion in St. Louis in 1566, and which openly defied tbe authority of the General As- sembly. ‘The discussion on the question of admitting Professor Eaton to @ seat in the Synod was Sustained inthe affirmative mainly by Rev. Dr. Van Dyke. The venerable Dr. Spring, of the Brick rch im this city, who has been a member of the Synod between fitty stxty years. spoke several times in the negative, fully msintaining the loyal position he held during the rebellion. The question was = cided towards evening yesterday by the follow- ing vote: Im favor of admission 32; opposed, 106. Majority opposed, 74. The same question wi}l come up im another form before lose of thie session of Synod, when a rev-ew is made of the action of the several Presbyteries; for at the last meeting of the Nassau Presbytery, Professor Eaton, who depuied to represent the First Ohurch in that body. was admitted by a vote of seven. ry teen toseven. The Synod, which ts the higher court, muattake cognizance of this action, and ifite decision should be that or . same yesterday, there 1s no doubt the case will be titios to the General Assembly.—N.

Beyond a few flowers on the aliar there was uo unusual decorations At the con- clusion of the sermon, &n interval of Ufteen Minutes elapsed, during which the choir and clergy left the church, and the bells were ebimed as for invitation to a separate ser- vice. Most of those present remained, and the candles, on the communion table, having been lighted, the clergy and choir re-entered. preceded by three youths in scarlet cossack-. One carrying a processional cross, the other two swinging verseis o: imcense. The celebration of the Holy Communion then commenced, the clergy being attired in what are called the «Eucharistic vestments,’ which were embroidered with gold. Among the congregation were abouta hundred, who ecemedto act upon some organized pian of making passive remonstrance by either stand. ing or kneeling at precisely contrary times to the rest of thoze present. A second offertory collection was made, but during the greater Portion of the eervice the smoke from the in- cense vessels was so great that it was difficult to discern the position or movements of the clergy. Some of those present attempted to force their way down the-middle aisle, but the churchwardens and sssistants. evidently thinking that an attack upon the Communion- table was in contemplation, kept them back. Outside the church the scene was very peculiar. A large crowd had assembled. One gentleman ventured to remonstrate, but had to beata precipitate retreat. The outside party 9 got up 8 placard of their own, as fol- Caution. Ritualism.

There were evident traces of organization in the conduct of the mob. At the evening service the mob again ussembled, but, as before, re- frained from entering the church. About 500 were present, ehoulingand yelling. This pro- ceeded s0 to prove a disturbance to the congre- gation, and to warrant the policein clearing the square.

The Reformed Dutch Church MEETING OF THE CLASSIS OF NEW YORK—THE CHANGE OF NAME The New York Ulassis of the Reformed Dutch Church peld its regular meeting yester- | day in the Conaistory of the North Daten Church in Fulton street. Rev. Doctor DeWitt occupied the chair. A long debate was had upon the proposition to change the name of the cburch, and was not conducted altogether in good temper. Mr. Wood, an elder of the col- Iegiate Church, opened the discussion by op- posing all change of name, and azeailing those who proposed to drop the word “Dutch.” Dr. De Witt believed in the change. if it was deemed necessary, and involved no change in the con- stitution of the church. Dr. Vermilye aszailed the Christian Intelligencer for \ts course on the subject, and declared that it was no organ of the Church Dr. Duryea believed the change | of names would give an impetus te the Oharch which was greatly ,needed: aicted that if there was nota revival in their zeal, @ baptism of greater liberality, ibey would be absorbed by other ecclesiastical denominations. Dr. Gante showed other churches had cbanged their names with advantage. The Scotca-Irish bad become pain Presby'erian: the Church of England Episcopal, and thi German Lutheran simple Lutheran. Doctors Rodgere and Taylor, and Chanceilor Ferris, declared in favor of a change oi name. Doc- tors Stryker, DeWitt and Forsyth considered it no less than a cutting loose from the history of the church. The proposition was voted down: aves, 16; noes, 26. A resolution was off*red and lost, censuring the action of the General Synod upon tbe subject, and declar- ing an inflexible purpose to maintain the ex- isting name of “Retormed Protestant Dutch | Church,” which was first legally christened by William lil. when Stadtholder of tbe Netherlands, who was ‘one of the greatest | statermen of the age, and at every period of bis life a true-hearted Datchman” Another resolntion was adopted on motion ot Dr. Ver- milye, thirteen to eleven, deciaring that the constitution of the General Synod was made by a body already existine, and gave no power to alter its title or to change its doctrine or form of government, either by action of the Gereral Synod alone, or action in concurrence with the Classis. Y. Post, 16th. A few days since a black man named Wm. George Cooper, who has been made & cillzen and yoter, lost a friend by death. The mem- bers of the family, except Wm. George, were in favor of @ pine coffin and @ moderate barial in the country where they lived; but William George, wanting ‘o bave a first-class funeral, came to this city and bargained with Mr. Laube, the undertaker, for a walnut coffin, with silver handles to it, a hearse, anda suf- ficient number of coaches to make a display commensurate with his views. The transac- tion was to be “strictly for cash,” and Wm. George assured Mr. Laube that the money would be forthcoming. Everything was to be done epiendidly; he had plenty of money: was proprietor of a farm for which he paid $75 a year, and had a horse worth $20. The tu- neral was furnished as desired; the coffin was sent out ima hearse; the coaches went out, and the drivers ali wore hat bands. The bill was sent by one of the drivers, who pre- sented it to Cooper. It had a stamp on it,and was receipted; and Cooper took it and put it in bis pocket. but didn’t give the driver the money. Afier waiting a short time, the driver ineisted on having eitber the money or the bill, and it was with great difficulty he got the lat- ter. Cooper said there was plenty of money in the house, and would pay it when he came to town; that he was waiting for bis horse then to ridein. He had no horse and never bad one. The driver left, and Mr. Laube saw nothing of him until Friday, when he had him arrested. ‘His Honor, after hearing the testimony, said he had been in public life tor forty years, and this was the first instance in which he had known any one to attempt to obeat an under- taker ont of a fanera!.

Is the Maryland Constitution Republica: The Washington correspondent of the Bos- ton Post says: “Hon. Francis Thomas stated before the Sub-Committee hts complaints against the present State government of Mary- | land, contending that no Siaie governmeat Was republican in form which violated the eardinal principle of apportioning representa- ton secording to popalation He said the new Constitution of Maryland practically plaeed the Government of the State in the bands of | @ minority of one-third of its people. Another grave question, be said, was whether a State Government reorganized by the United States can be superseded by a new form of govern. ment crexted in defiance of the provis:ons of the existing Constitution, and especially, whetber aconvention calied by a Legislatare an definuce of the provisions under which sata Legislature acts, and which convention is made pp on & representative basis unknown to the Constitution of & State, isench as can legally act on behalf of the psoplo of a State. Such a body being clearly revolationary the question remains to be determined by te authorities of the United States, whether the forms of government guaranteed t> the pecple of the Sates are to be changed according to the terms prescribed therein. by which the United States Government, the Siare Government and the people of the State are equally bound, or by revolutionary processes, in total disregard of the terms of a solemn com- pact. The determination of these importan: questions will not only affect the validity of the pretended new Constitution of Maryland, but are essential to the stability of our Gov- ernment. One thing was clear, and admitted by both parties, that Congress must be satisfied that the Government of a Stute is republican in form, and that it Bas a right to go behind the credentials of Senators and inquire into the | whole subject. The obligation of the Govern- | ment, under the first ciause of the fourth sec- | tion of the first article of the United States | Constitution, known as the guarantee elanse, is binding upon every State in this Union, and it is therefore competent for Cong! pay, obligatory upon it, to inquire imto the form of government of any State when petitioned so to do by the people. The commitiee heard Mr. Thomas through, when Mr. Lawrenor, of Onto, (Radical,) good-naturedly remarked that be would like to have the present condition of his own State likewise inquired into by Con- gress. A WOMAN STABBED bY HER DIVORCED AUS- BAND. [From the Circinnati Gazette.) CaRTon, On10, Oct, 13.—This afternoon, while the congregation were assembling in the | German Reformed Church, @ most desperare | assault was made by Ferdinand Hoffman apon the person of his divorced wite, Caroline Yost. | Approaching her in the choir, be demanded a i-w moments conversation, which belag de- nied, be asked ber to kiss him, and while in the act of doing so he stabbed her witha butch- er knife three times in the breast, and eight times in the abdomen and on the lim! The scene was terribleand heart-rending, aud the screnms of the women and the shouts of the | mem as the assassin fled trom the scene of bis assault were exciting in the extreme. The murderer. with the butcher-Kuife still in his band, streaming with the blood of his vic- tim, attempted to reach the railroad, pursued by A maddened and excited crowd, bat was arrested in his flight bya stalwart couatry- | man, who compelled him to surrender. The excitement &t this point was intense, and the general demand was that the monster shonld lynched on thespot. Prudent counsels pre- | vailed, and be was marched to jail. At one point the agonized mother of the unfortunate young woman contronted the crowd, and witn a large-sized stick beat the prisoner over the head, while at the same time he was beaten imdiscriminately by parties in the crowd, and another demand was made for his immediate hanging. He was, however, safely lodged in jail. It is doubtfal whether the lady can live ull morning. Hoffman isa desperate charac. ter, and was released but ten days ago from State prisop. His only regret is that he did not kill ber at once. | | | | | | Murderous A t im a Church. | | | A Hvspanp SHoots His Wire—At alate bour Saturday night, James Murpay, a laborer empleyed st the gas-works, while in a staze of mtoxication, entered his house in Lefay- ette place, and, after a few words with nis wife relative to some family m tter, took a musket from & closet, and immediately dis- charged it toward his wife.
