More Church Difficulties in New Jersey. , A LUTBBRAN CHURCH WITH A CATHOLIC YRIERW. [From the Newark Mereary, Dec. 15.) We learn that d:fficulties of a Very serious charac- ter have srizen in the German Lathera Courch of this city, which promise to attract a large share of Public attention at this time. The cirounstaaces, Se Desr aa we can ascertain, are as fellows: —Some eleven years aince the church in question, which be- longs to the 8ynod ot New York, employed a mints- ter cf revognized ability ja their denominatioa, to preside oo She aviritoal interests of tne 00 tlop, stipulating in the azceemens that he ehou'ld oecupy the pulpit for a term of brah ha ew Tos eag'g? ewpioyed took possession of post, aad & time all went well, the churoh growing and turiving 98 rapidly avd substantially as could Be de sired, Scme eigiteen montis sioce, however, through the inflacnce ofa brother-in-lay, (a Roman Catho.ic,) the officiating minister was indawd to decert tae Lathern tuith aud ewibrace that of Catho- Nielsm—and from that time are dated the troabies of the church. Of course, the priest did not a} first ex- Dibit any abatement of zea) in the service of his vongregation. This would have been toexcite theirs suspicions, and place them upon their guard, and thls was not tho policy for him to pursue. [a3'ead of making overt demonstrations in favor of Catho- liciem, he moved stealtbily and with Jesuitical cun- ning, introduciog into the worship of his people pone but the mest trivial innovations. His first moveme out of the established order of things was the ivtroduction of candies into the service. Entertaining no suspicions of foul pley, this innovation excited little or no comment congregation, nor did the second, whi the introcuction of wafers. Presently, how- ever, seduced out of his caution, probably the indifffrence of his charge, the priest stru-k out old and dear formules of the Latheran faith, ayes their stead the most offensive Catho- the con; “eatest alarm. By this time, however, the acquired a decided advantage, and was not to be driven, either by threats or persuasion, from his position. His schemes discovered, he at once threw off all disguise, and boldly set himself in Ly ceig to his people, claiming the right in all 'g8 to control she charch discipline as beat iy himself. In this spirit, he instituted regu- tions directly conflictiug with the established wor- such as requiring worshippe's to observe tie lic posture @ prayer, &c., and if any re- fused to observe this form, choosing to adhere to the Lutheran, the priest called in the aid of the Police, and had the offender at once placed under arrest. By this abgolute exercise of autho ity, some five or six of the members were in time intimidated, and went over on the side of the priest. Taus strengthened, he grew sti] more tyraanical, sod | institated atill more imperious regulations, er them the al, 80 that the majority the congre; y it impossible to main- tain pepce, came out in open sevolt, Tue war forth, on the priest’s part, wag unrelent- ing. Not satisfied with previcus assumptions, be now took upon himself absolute executive pow er, displacing all officers unfavorable to his schemes, and substituting satellites in their place. | When time arrived for the election of trus- | tees, he placed a lock om the door of the church, and re entrance to the dissenters, doing the same thin, also on the day assigned for the ea'c of pews, Thus denied all access to, and participation in, the government of the caurch, the tustees some months sincs soplied to the Chan- cellor for sedceus, bat that offiver refased to enter- taic their sure, on tie ground that tas congrega tion and offi. ers of the chure: had arigat, without apy order of his, tof rce ths chureh and avurs ther legitimate position. Not wishing, however, fo indiesse the d'fliculty by a resompto absolate mex sree, {he dissenters have at lew applied to tas Moyor for assistance, calling in aid alsoof em!- nent counsel. This is tbe position the affair occu- pies at present; the ultimate issue we cannot of oomise preaict, The case is one of peculiar aggravation, and ex- cites consideravle atte: tion among onr citizens. Ta diseenters, some forty tive in number, have foreoms time past worshiped separate and agart from tre old congregstion, bat are determined, if possible, | to obtain their rights therela, and fn their efforts to this end they will undonbte¢ ly have the sympathies | of all who prefer Protestantism to Catholicism, and freedom of couscience to spiritual bondage.

The reason why an injunction in asked ts, that the threa‘- exed tax on the property of the taxable inhabi- tants casts a cloud on the plaintifis’ property, &c. 1 am asked for a temporary order of injunction daring the tigation. Most of the questions taisod by the com- plaint are of too serious # character Lo be decided by me on this motion, especially as they have not been fall argued before me. I allude partivularly to the consti- | tutional questions, viz.:—Iat. Whether the courts can {nguire as to the existence of a fact necessary to confer | upon the Legislature power to organize a new county? 2d. Whether, if we can, we are bound by the last State census, as to the number of the inhabitants, or whether it can be showa by other proof, that the requisite num- ber resided within tho territory composing the “new county, at the time the act was pass other questions of the like character. fore, on a8 over those questions, and place my decision er points in the case, and such ay admit the con- by Mr. Cook to the county was not such a conveyance af is required by section oighteon of the act. It is not a ‘good unencuinberod title.”? Those words mean a title in fee simple. But the title executod by Mr. Cox limits the ‘and clezk’s office only, and reserves a reversion to himaelt | and heirs in case tho bite iv altered. ‘The Building Com- misioners had no right to move in the matter entrasted to them. until the Superyirors had approved of their bonds bonds and sureties are—until the Supervisors shall ap- | Prove it, it ifmo bond. Tam also of opinion that the sald Building Commissioners cannot enter inte acontract for erecting the county buildings until the Supervisors have made an aj priation for that purpose, or have acted in relation thereto, The twentivth section of the pay into tho treasnry of the xaid connty, @ suiq_ not ex- eroding the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, in such an- nual amounts as they shall deoin most advisable,” Kc. ‘The Supervisors have a discretion as to the amount to be expended within the lunits of $1,000, and this dis- cretion cannot be usurped or controlled’ by the Com- missioners, as they seemed to have attempted to do, by ontyacting for buildings costing the Commissioners is for the fait moneys committed to their charge, for the erection and constructién of the buildings, which implies that the Supervisors are toassign to them a certain sur or fund for the special purpose. ‘The whole proceedings of the Commisaonera ia letting the contract. to build, before the Supervisors had approved this bond, or raised a fund, or designated any amount for the erection of the buildings, or accepted: the deed for the sites, was illegal and. ‘unauthorized. No loyal obligation is impored on tne county to sanction the illegal proceed- ings, or raise any sum by tax to pay for the erdetion of such buildings; and the Board of Supervisors would do greut injustice to their constituents if they sanctioned such headlong proceedings aa seem to characterize the acts of the commissioners. But as the plaintiifs are under no legal obligation to levy any tax to meet the 41 contract of the commissioners, and a8 they oou- atitute a majority of the present board, it 14 presumublo they will not do so. They are in no danger of unjust taxation, even if the contractors shall proceed ia com- leting their contract for the erection of the buildings m question. I shall, therefore, refuse the temporary in- junetion asked for. ‘Again: Ihave never known an ia- janetion to issue to stay proceedings which were calcu- ted to cast 'm cloud on personal property only.
