4 Hee anna es ane RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Easter—Preparations for the Festival. ‘The great festival of Christianity—the commemo- fation of the final and complete triumph of Christ over His enemies; the remembrance of the consum- mation of the work of man’s redemption and the foundation of the Christian hope for eternal life—will be celebrated to-day in all parts of the Christian world, The Church has mourned during forty days the trials and tribulations of her Saviour, and during the past few days she has been clothed in most som- bre garments; her voice has been heard only in sor- row and in lamentation; her notes of gladness have been forgotten; her emblems of joy have been laid aside, and, bowed down with grief, she has bewailed the sacrifice of her beloved founder. But to-day she eagerly re- sumes her festal robes, smHes upon her children, sends forth her most joyous notes, and on all sides may be heard the pwan of her followers, announcing to the world that “Christ has risen,” and that “hu- manity, triumphant, has burst the bars of death and seized immortal bloom,’* The story of the resurrection is familiar to all. The hard, cold, gloomy looking sepulchre, covered , with a massive stone; the brutal, dogged, grim and grizzly sentinels keeping guard, and sneering at the promise of Christ that he would arise on the third day, yet fearing in their hearts that the promise would be fulfilled. Nothing has been seen, nothing has been heard to indicate that the body beried beneath the ponderous stone would burst its cerements and that, triumphing over death, it pon heopes seen to strike terror to its enemies, The thi! Meer ih eae and the soldiers sneeringly exclaim, ‘The third éa} has come and yet the boasted Redeemer sleeps.” But soon that sieep is broken; the-covering of the tomb is huried aside, and Christ Himself appears. There can be no doubt. There is the same 'y that was beaten, bruised, pierced, scourged, spat upon, nailed to the cross and laid seeurely in the tomb again present, full of life and beauty. The promise of Christ has been fulfilled, His divinity confirmed and salvation to mankind assured, is the grand event which the Church celebrates to-day, and in commemoration of which she exerts herself to ive adequate expres- sion of her reat ov. in doing this the rarest products of the floral kingdom and the most costly and appropriate creations of art and genius are em- ployed to bedeck the temples of the living God, The tabernacles are surrounded with all that can add beauty and brilliancy to the occasion. Pliant han in obedience to loving hearts, and with elegance anc taste in every movement, arrange the floral tributes and the contributions of art in appropriate and unique devices; and music, too, the most grand, inspiring and elevating, is called upon to add its charms, to sound the praises of the Kedeemer, and to waft to heaven on the wings of melody the thanks and prayers of His rescued people, But in no portion of the States, perhaps, will the festival be more becomingly observed than in this city; and among the numerous ica pegs a spirit of generous rivalry is shown to give éclat to the occasion. At St. Peter’s chureh, in Barclay street, the ladies of the Altar Society, gided by the sisters attached to the church, have dressed the beautiful altar most tastefully. A solemn high mass will be given at half ast ten o'clock A. M., When Professor Pecher, wiih his exquisite choir, will give selections from Mozart’s and Haydn’s masterpieces. Mrs. Easton, Miss Henne, Messrs. Staud and Reichardt will do the solo parts, and an efficient chorus will assist.

Mesdames Chomé and Grostz and Mr. hes Schmitz, with an extra chorus, will be on hand, At St. Stephen's church, East Twenty-eighth street, in the morning Haydn’s second mass, with grand vo- cal and instrumental chorus, will be given, and inthe evening Nini’s vespers.

Father Boyce, with Fathers Flattery and Hogan, will oficiate, and Professor McGrath, assisted by Mme. Colletti and Signors Groschell and Merino, will perform the musical portion of the services. At the Paulist’s church, West Fifty-ninth street, the learned fathers of the order will perform the Easter service in accordance with the Rubric. At the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, Third street, the grandeur and completeness which have ever marked the ceremonies as performed by the Kedemptionist Fathers will be found still to prevail, and the musical services, always of the highest order, under Professor Spoth, will consist of Diabelli’s grand Tass, given by @ line quartet and full vocal and in- sirumental chorus. At St. Ann’s church, in Eighth street; St. Bridget’s, aveuue B; St. Francis Xavier's, Sixteenth street; St. Anthony's, Sullivan street; Nativity, Second avenue; Holy Cross, Forty-secoad street; St. Joseph's, Sixth avenoe and Waverley place, and, in fact, in all the Catholic churches, the services will be conducted on ‘the grandest scale possible, and in each church the collection takeu up will be devoted to the benefit of the orphan cluldren at the orphan asylums of the diocese, At Trinity church full choral service will be given.

Progress of Charch Extension in the United States, ‘We have accounts of the dedication of twenty-two now churches in the United States during the past fortnight. At Warsaw, IlL, on the 20th ult, an edifice, which had been built by the Methodist So- ciety at that place at a cost of $30,000, was dedicated ‘With appropriate services by the presiding elder, dev.

Under this title the Odserver—Old School Presbyte- rian—devotes some space to the consideration of the new religion inaugurated in this city last Sunday by an apostle appointed by Auguste Comte, a report of whose discourse we gave in last Sunday's HERALD. In the course of ita remarks the Observer refers to the oration delivered some months ago at Amherst, College by the Rev. Dr. Peabody, in which that emi- nent scholar and divine exposed the tendencies and bearings of the Positive philosophy. He designated as the ‘foundation principles of this philosophy its teaching ‘that observed and experienced facts, such facts as are cognizable by the senses and the appre- hensive “‘faculties, such as are ponderable, measurable, capable of definite. description and cireumspection—in fine, the statistics of na- ture and humanity, are the only objects of knowledge, * * * ‘Religion 1s superseded. It was indeed man’s first philosophy; but it was merely the expression of primeval man’s ignorance of the facts of nature, Its alleged truths cannot be handled, weighed or measured; therefore they are not knowable. * * * Materialism and necessity are the two exponential words of the Positive philo- any. Its only god is collective humanity; its only allegiance and worship are due to this abstraction— the sole abstraction admitted into the dreary realm of phenomena.” The criticisms of the North Amert- can Review, differing in part with these views, are commented upon by the Observer, when that paper proceeds to say:—‘It is true that Comte lifted a standard by the very epithet which he gave to his pellosophys which has attracted around him a whole army of Adullamites, But when they shelter them- selves under his flag, however diverse among them- selves, they cannot, by any of their protests, throw of entirely the odium of their greal leader. And that odium is something which the more sensible among them are by no means dis- posed to covet. We are not surprised that John Stuart Mill should revolt at the Positive religion, however tolerable his mental dyspepsia may be after swallowing the philosophy, M. Comte was indeed a strange man. Belore lie died he furnished the world with a reductio ad absurdum of his skeptical or rather atheistic assumptions. We have before us now ‘The Positivist Calendar, or Transitional system of Public Commemoration, instituted by Augustus sic) Comte, Founder of the Positive Religion of Humanity.’ In this we have an exposition of tle system by which he would supply the place of the Gospel and of ail Christian worsiip; and anything more elavorately or ridicuously atheistic it would be diilicult to conceive. The man that invented it might have a mind stored witht learning and rich in intel- lectual gifts, but in his. strange aberrations and singular lack of common sense the verdict of an impartial sary would be very apt to con- sign him to the charge of @ lunatic asylum. He would displace God as an object of worship, to substitute in His place a host of men elevated, like old Pagan heroes, to the rank of demagogues, Tue first Sunday of the year has Numa for its patron saint; the second has Buddha; the third Confucius; the fourth Mahomet; the fifth ‘Eschylus; the sixth Phidias; the seventh Aristophanes; the eighth Virgil, &c. Alexander, Hildebrand, Innocent iL, St. Thomas Aquinas, Moliere, Bacon, Leibnitz, Hume, Cromwell, Newton and Galfleo along before us in this singular procession of humanity, while Gall, the phrenologist, brings up the rear. ‘There is but one name we miss in the list, and that is Comte himself. Supplemented with this, as he perhaps anticipated it would be by his admirers, ana Mt would present a fair representation of the strength and weakness, the glory and shame of humanity. But to fancy that the adoration of names like those he deifies could supplant in the heart of man the piece of piety or faith towards God, seems worthy of e rambling genius of a monomaniac. It would be incomparably more tasteful to bind a biographical peed in the trappings of an idol and bow down to worship it as the abstraction of a collective humanity.” Ecclesiastical Meetings the Current Year.

Count de Bismarck, who had been requested by the Alliance Israelite of Paris, to interpose with the government of Prince Charles in behalf of the Jews persecuted in Roumania by the agents of the Minis- ter Bratiano, returned the following reply:— GENTLEMEN—The Prussian government has given fresh instructions to its representative at Bucharest to use his utmost influence to secure for your co- religionists all that protection which they enjoy in countries that are under a@ legislation founded on principles of humanity. I am besides firmly con- vinced that the intentions of Prince Charies entirely concord with our views, and that his Highness wiil, | his firm determination, promote the development of the Constitution of his country, Which will render easy to the government the exercise of @ benevolent protection over all classes of the population.

Dr. Tyng rendered himself liable to cen- sure by Bishop Potter for a violation of the rites of the Episcopal Church by occupying the pulpit in a Methodist church, the Rey. D, R. Brewer, Church of of the Reformation, in Gates avenue, near Franklin, has just been guilty of quite as serious offence. He has shown his sympathy for the Rev. Dr. ‘Tyng on several occasions since the censure was pronounced, The first by ap- earing and tiking @ seat & Methodist mnference held in the Summerfield Methodist mp oven chureh, and again by inviting the clergy of other denominations to participate in the services athis church. He has alse declared that he will not hesitate to occupy the place of a Methodist preacher in reas church, At the regular Easter communton service on Frid: night Mr, Brewer had the clergy of several denomi- nations within the communion rails, who as- sisted him in the sacred services, The ministers resent were Rev. Dr. Waterbury, Episcopal; Rev. ‘. Parra Presbyterian; Rev. Mr. Gleason, Congre- tional; Kev, Mr. Buckley, of the Summertield fethodist Episcopal Church; Rev. George &, ‘Thrall, Episcopal; v. Mr. Howe, Methodist, aud Rev. on Gallagher, Episcopal. Rev. Mr. Waterbury offered a prayer; Rev. Mr. Brewor read a chapter from the Bible and Rev. Mr. Buckley, Methodist, delivered an address. Mr. Brewer then read the Episcopal communion service, after which he distributed the bread and wine to the other ministers present, and ther alded him in passing it to the communicants, or the entire service much solemnity pervaded the igregation. |. The clergymen from the other churches took a deep interest in the proceedings, ‘ BISHOP EASTBURN PREACHES IN A CONGREGATION- ALIST CHURCH, Agreeably to notice im the dail; ers of Bosion, the Bishop Manton Bastburn, Pn Sab- baths since, preached and officiated in the old South Congregational church of Boston, ‘The Jndependent says:—He had on no gown or bands, but his usual sizgus reas he oifered extemporaneous prayer; ié ventured to. speak of the house they were in asthe temple of God; and, in place of the prayer for bishops and other clergy, he prayed for ‘ali ministers of the gospel and the congregations committed to their charge.” How much more glaring his offense than that of Mr. Tyng! Rey. Dr. Nicholson, one of the leading rectors in the same city, having also officiated in a meeting house without consent of a majority of the clergy of said city, is equally derelict, if we may trust the decision of a recent ecclesjastical court; while just over the State line, Mr. Hubbard is cite for trial for the same offense. «q, N, take Roman Catholic. When Cardinal Bonaparte received the Cardinal's hat with a complimentary message from the Pope, he made the following reply: I pray you, Monsingore, to tell the Holy Father that T thank him deeply tor bestowing on me that embiem of a dignity of which I consider myself so little worthy, and that Ihave only accepted it because I knew that his Holiness, in conferring it on me, wished to give a mark of his paternal feeling to the nation which is the eldest daughter of the Church and to her glorious Sovereign, 1 will endeavor to show myself more and more devoted to the Church and to the welfure of souls, So that this hat may, when placed on my tomb, cover the remains of one of the elect.

The following is the telegram to which we refer:—“Jassy, 2.—Thirty-one radical deputies, the President being one of the number, yesterday presented to the Chamber the following bill, already referred to the sections:—1. Jews cannot establish themselves in the rural districts; in the towns they must have a special authorization, 2.

It is not generally known that at the last General Conference, in 1864, the marriage service was al- tered, The charge to the parties previously read, “I require and charge you both, (as you shall answer at the dreadful day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts shall be dis. closed) that, if either of you know,” Ac. so im the covenant the bride promised to “obey” and “serve” her husband, as well as to “love, honor and keep him.’ In the present both the reference to the day of judgment and the bride’s vow to obey her husband are wanting. Instead -of “wilt thou ‘obey him, serve him, love, honor and keep him,” as it had stood for centuries, it now reads “wilt thou love, honor and ay Ny the words “obey him, serve him” having been expunged. And so also in the words of the bride to the bridegroom, instead of stallation, This sum is nearly double what is gene- rally spent by newly created cardinals, but some margin must allowed for a prelate attaining that honor who already enjoyed the exalted soctal posi- tions of a Roman prince and a prince of the imperial family of France. According to the latest published statistics, the Order of Jesuits comprises 8,168 members, of whom 1,689 speak the Italian language, 2,422 French, 2,111 the various tongues of Northern Europe, 1,140 Span- ish, and 698 English. The entire order is distributed into twenty-one provinces. From authentic records it appears that there is an increase of nearly 100 yg ey yearly.

Kellogg, who has been on trial before the Methodist Episcopal Conference at Dearborn, Mich., on charges of alleged gross immorality, has been found guilty and expelled from the Church. TATE MATTERS. REAL Resume of Operations During the Week. ‘The week which has just closed, although indl- cating throughout such a falling off in general bysi- ness as preludes the termination of the season, has been, taken altogether, rather brisk, the general feeling in the market being favorabie to sellers, and prices rather above than below a mere appraised valuation. As has been said on more than one occasion during the week, the absence of the Jews, engaged in the observance of their great festival of the Passover, fromthe marts, has operated to some extent to depre- ciate property, and with their return this week to *Change better prices may be anticipated. Notwith- standing the Py number of bogus sales which have been made from time to time the season through- out has been @ most successful one for auctioneers and agents. The amount of property brought into the market has been much in excess of that of previous years, and the attendance at the sales greater, bidding more spirited, and altogether much more activity and speculative energy ex- hibited. ‘The special attention which the HERALD, with other of the daily newspapers, as ven to the operations at the Exchange in ‘ew York and the City Salesroom, Brooklyn, has, no doubt, contributed to a great extent towards this result, furnishing in that regard only another in- stance of the advantage which every business derives from discriminating and correct criticism and due publicity, Below is a résumé of the opera- tions of the week. ‘The total amount of the sales during the week, both in this city and Brooklyn, was $1,749,500, divided as follows:— MONDAY.

Its effulgence will light our fashionables back once more to the giddy follies and extravagances of that false and illuring world, the pleasures of which they so recently, and we trust not reluctantly, renounced, ‘The short respite that they may have enjoyed from the tantalizations and snares of the fickle world and that hollow thing termed society we trust will prove Doth beneficial to them here and hereafter. It is cer- tainly befitting that some slight acknowledgment and return should be made to the Omnipotent for the many comforts and blessings that He has vouchsafed to us poor sinners here upon earth, and as fashion does not prevent us from offering up our prayers to the “Throne of Grace,” it is presumable that our petitions, if fervid and sincere, are Just as acceptable to the Creator when we are arrayed in fashionable attire as though we had donned woeful and penitential habiliments of sackcloth and ashes. Now, as fashion exerts her influence over Church as well as State, and as the season of prayer and fast- ing and alms is now over, it behooves us to rejoice, for there are many blessings and excitements in store for the good people who have been practising the Lenten precept of self-denial during the pre- scribed perlod, From this time forward the weather will doubtless be very pleasant, and shopping and promenading will, a8 a matter of course, be delightfully enjoyable. ‘The most noticeable feature of the spring fashions, especially -in tight fabrics, will be the mode in which the skirts will be raised above the upper skirt or pet- ticoat. It isthe opinion that the “farthingale,” or - Iooped tipper skirt through a pocket hole on each sidé of that skirt, will prevail during the summer months. This style has always been in favor and is further- more effective, convenient and shows off fabrics, more especially those of a flowered nature, far more effectively than any other fashion, Already the back portion of the skirt 1s lifted over a bow, which ends a band fixed at the waist, and which falls very low and near the hem of the skirt. There is another attempt being made to bring f the sino. sleeve in combination with the close one; but tis thought that, as this fashion failed to establish itself during. the, winter, it is scarcely probable that as the Spcore and summer advance it will be adopted. Another fashion which is coming in vogue, and which certainly isin accordance with the “farthin- gale,” ig the use of a short tunic, which is free be- hind and is gathered in a knot, which has long ends, in the lower postion of the skirt. ‘The short ‘aceful sac-paletdt is at last to be replaced. ‘The two new ir of outdoor coverit for spring wear are the Marle Antoinette fichu an the Lamballe mantelet.

THE PARIS FASHIONS. SPCCIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. A Bridal Troussean— Twelve Dozen of Pocket Handkerchiefs and Twelve Dozen of Petticoate—Style in Petticoate—An Heirloom from a Great Grandmother—The Dress Robe of the Bride—The Hat and Trimmings— Head Dress for Summer. Paris, March 27, 1968, No sooner has the 2ist of March heralded spring over Paris than there is a run on trousseaux. Some girls think the best part of matrimony is the trous- seau; in fact, not only the having and the ordering, but the displaying of it. I have been favored this week with the exhibition of one, and left the resi- dence in which it was laid out with ideas far too elevated and “stuck up” to be appreciated by young brides. I was made aware of this by an awful lady in red velvet, who was spying over a tableful of pocket handkerchiefs through an eyeglass and ventilating her vewllderment over the beauty of every one of them with phrases expressive of wonder that women there are in the world who do marry with less than twelve dozen fancy mouchoirs. I was spiteful enough ta observe that out of the twelve dozen before us there ‘was not a thread to be styled comfortable in case of a cold—not a handkerchief available for useful pur- The old lady eyed me with disdain, and said that brides did not have colds in France—a capital hint to unmarried parties. There were also twelve dozen petticoats. In the same way as we wear long and short dresses, full and narrow skirts, there were half dozens of each, with pleated, goffered and inserted founces, some with inserted widths. All were gored down the front width—a cut destined to prevail for some seasons. Every variety of muslin, jaconet and white calico ‘was employed for the different purposes a petticoat or underskirt can be required for; the plainest were worked with embossed thick embroidery, A great number were frilled with five or six rows round the bottom, and this style is in great favor on colored silk underskirts also, 1 was just speculating what would be the probable dimensions of the wardrobe that was to contain the twelve dozen starched and got up ready for wear, when I was familiarly tapped on my left shoulder, and a voice asked me if I had seen the great grand- mother’s dozen. I was not sure if 1 had, so alowed myself to be dragged back to the great handkerchief table. “Here,” said my informant, “is a curious specimen of French taste and ingenuity.” The bride’s great grandmother had inherited in her time. some old Mechiin lace and embroidery. It laid by and came down as a Pr cy heirloom to the bride. Heavy. thread, of the an’ ie material, has been employed in the fabrication of this pe dozen. On examining the handkerchiefs I found that the escutcheons, cor- onets and initials were in truth applied on the primt- tive lace foundation, which was nothing but an ar- tistical patchwork of squares, so put together that val ae ho ee our —_ bei like a attern. es, lyres, garlands, of cobweb lightne: Ware thus sewn together, each Mandkerchtes Sresery’ ing its particular pattern all over. This is one of the best feats a woman's needle can achieve, ‘The bridal robe is forthcoming, but before I quite leave the handkerchief subject I will on this occasion say what is to be fashionable in this line all the en- suing season.

Before Judge Barnard. - The People vs. Fisk, Jr., Davis, Devin, Skidmore, Thomson, Lane‘and Others, éc,—The attachment pro- ceedings for contempt of court against these defend- ants, which were on Saturday, the 4th ult., adjourned until yesterday, came up before this court at eleveh o’clock yesterday morning. A change seemed to have come over the spirit of the dream, and instead of a crowd in a.court room listening to blustering lawyers there were but ten or a dozen persons present and everything was tranquil, ‘Too Many cooks spol! the broth’? seems to apply to the Erie litigation. with as much force as to any PR ob aed of cuisinerie, if yesterday is to be taken a3 an example. One or two counsel only on each side were present, and an amicable arrange- ment for an adjournment was effected, which was in strong contrast to the rows in which most of the pro- ceedings have been involved. Mr. Kapallo said that he did not know of any reason why any further disposition of the cases should be made at present. Mr. David Dudley Field asked that counsel would determine when the matters should be brought up and concluded. Mr. Rapalio said the reason why he dia not bring the motions on now was the injunctions which his learned friend had interposed, and that if they were waived he was ready to go on. Mr. Field said that he did not intend that they should be waived; but that on the contrary any viola- tion of the injunctions should be punished. ‘The court suggested that by having the motions adjourned until ‘Thursday a decision on the motions before General Term would probably be had by that time, and that in fact an effort would be made to decide tiem on Monday, The further hearing was then adjourned until that day at turee o’clock P. M. itis and The Sheriff returned in the cases of Fisk and. Eldridge that he had been unable to find them, and on motion of Mr. Rapallo pluries attachments were issued against them.

Tam an officer of the Court of Common Pleas for the city and county of New York ; on the 4th of April, 1868, 1 was in court, in attendance on the return of a writ of habeas corpus requiring the Sheriff of the city and county of New York to produce the body of ‘Jay Gould, and after the return of the writ of habeas cor- Rs had been adjourned to the 8th day of April, 1868, i¢ was further ordered that sald Jay Gould remain in my custody ; meantime Judge Barrett also per- sonally instructed me to remain with said Jay Gould and keep him in custody; in the court roo! before we left, I was applied to by one of the cor oe wre Goul cee me by eee to amps 4 aid to go on his parole; I positively refused to do a8 ‘one of the counsel for said Gould took me into Judge Barrett’s room, where Judge Barrett re- ted that his positive orders to me were to keep . Gould in my custody, but-to treat him as a gen- tleman; said counsel then told me that if Mr. Gould wished to go to Albany to let him go, and go with him; on Saturday evening Mr. Gould told me that he wanted to go to mye 4 told him what his counsel had said to me, and that I was sorry I could not let him go on his parole; he replied, “that is all right, you go with me;’? we went to Albany in the eleven o’clock P. M. train, April 4, arriving t! on Sunday morning; he (Gould) said he had caught a cold in got up in the train, but he was well enough to be up an in and out of the hotel on Monday all mf but did not after that day leave his room until Fri morning; he was well enough to be engaged in business in room every day, but the physician said he should re- main in that room or in the same temperature for two or three days; this was said to me by the phy- siclan on Monday; on Friday morning, April 10, said Gould was well enough to go to the capital from the Delevan House, although it was snowing severely at the time; 1 had noticed that the hearing on the ha- beas corpus had been adjourned to y il 11, at ten A. M.; Iso stated to Mr. Gould and told him that he must go Jorg, with me to the city of New York; he directed The to his counsel, Mr. Lyman Tremaine, to see if the matter could not be fixed by sending down to New York to give the bail required, which would, he said, - tinue the habeas corpus proceedings and relieve me of my charge; I told him that nothing but an order from Judge Barret could relieve me from the charge; I proceeded to Mr. Tremaine’s office and ex- plained to him how Mr. Gould had been placed in custody; the promises of Mr. Gould’s counsel that he should be on hand before Judge Barrett at the time specified, and that it was a violation of faith with me and a contempt of court; Mr. Tremaine told me that, under all the circumstances, the best thing that Mr. Gould could do would be to go to New York and go through the form of giving bail, and requested me to say so to Mr. Gould; Mr. Gould replied, “All right,” he would go down, but asked me to wait until the ten clock evening train, so that he would get a com- fortable sleeping car; I agreed to do 80; before ten o'clock P. M., to wit, about eight and a half P. M., I went into Mr. Gould’s room, and found him with a good many other persons talking, and I said to him he had better pre- aes to £9 down, and asked him if he would be ready in time to take the train; a gentleman sitting beside Mr. Gould interposed and said Mr, Gould must not go down; it was out of the question; Isaid I had not asked him, but I wished to know if those were Mr. Gould’s sentiments; he nodded his head and said that gentieman was his counsel (mentioning the name) and he was guided by what he said. Mr. Gould continued:—Therg are certain cases where men had to take the responsibilty, and this was one of them, and that he was going to take the responst- bility of not going down; that he was the only repre- sentative of the Erie Railway there, and that the com- pany would have to back him; and the counsel said would take the responsibility of Mr. Gould’s going down; I told him he could not take any re- sponsibliity from me; that that was no excuse for me; he said he did not care, the man should not go down anyhow; Mr. Gould said that if I was to sulfer that the Erle Railroad would take care of me, and that I could take his word for it; I left the room to ascer- tain if I could get means to compel Mr. Gould to go down to New York with me; about ten minutes after nine o'clock P. M. I saw Mr. Gould and told him he must go down to New York with me; he said he did not intend to go down; I told him he must; Mr. Gould then went into another room, closed the door on me and locked it; I told him if he did not go he would vapaly of @ criminal contempt; he he would @ the responsibility of that; about one o'clock A. M. of April 11 I rapped at Mr, Gould's door; his partner, Mr. Smith, opened the door; I saw Mr. Gould go into another room; I told him I wanted to ask in whether Gould would go down to New York with me; Mr. Smith went and asked Mr. Gould if he would go down with me; Mr. Smith called to me, he having the door locked on the inside, that Mr. Gould would not go with me; 1 said, “wish to have the answer from Mr. Gould,’ Mr. Smith spoke to Mr. Gould, and Smith then replied wo me that Mr. Gould refused to have any. communica tion with me, and I was obliged to return to New York without him. ‘The court inquired whether the name of the counsel who had py) the advice in the matter was men- tioned in the aMdavit? Mr. Vanderpoel said it was not. ‘The Court—I desire that it should be done. ‘The following was then added:— James Oliver, being duly sworn, deposes and says that the name of the counsel referred to in the fore- going affidavit as having advised Mr. Gould not to return to New York with me, and that he would take the responsibility, is Hamilton Harris. Judge Barrett said that before taking any action upon the affidavit under the present habeas corpus proceeding he thought it proper to say that the question with reference to Mr. Olivér and the course which he had deemed it prudent to adopt in leaving New York was a matter which he thought should be laid before the General Term, before ail the Judges, to see what action bi Urethrem would take, and whatever it migt be “misconduct ¢! early day wi ed fe the affidavit. He felt upon hearing the aMidavit read which would have daeiced oe” of, naiznation ig the order, when he would be enabled to do justice to parties. He hi panee ie ~~. ad no power to law had given power to punish if no good cause werd show and ifsuch should be the case he thought he would make an example of parties for taking such a course as had been set forth in the affidavit. ‘The order to show cause now issued would be returnable on Tuesday next, at ten o’clock, and would afford sufiicient time to enable the parties to attend the court, If the facts set forth in tee aftidavit were correct the courag adopted by Mr. Gould was reprehensible. The con- duct of Mr. Harris also certainly could not be ciar- acterized by lengua e too severe. It did not.ap) in evidence that Mr. Gould was then unwell, he could have come to New York if he had thought proper, Under such eircumstances, therefo1 he ‘would issue an order to show cause why both p: should not be punished, Mr. Vanderpoel suggested the adjournment of the habeas corpus proceeding until the same time of the one 2 show cause—next ‘luesday morning at ten o'cloc! Judge Barrett said it occurred to him that the statute gave him discretion to confine Mr. Gould to the custody of some person other than the Sheriif; but desirable Or considered proper he could shsnee the custody from Mr. Oliver and place Mr. Gould the custody of suilicient force to pro- duce him in court, Mr. Oliver seemed to have. been ‘sically unable to bring Mr. Gould to New York. ‘fhe court could, therefore, place Mr. Gould inthe custoay of three or four pé¥sons, or a sufficient force, as might be necea- ee produce him at all haza) > . Fullerton ‘observed that there was no doubt Mr. Gould would come in iu ania. the act pe naw take bi the court ae end, amMdavit of While he ‘did: not intimate that Mr. Oliver was hot conscientious in what he said incere in the matter, and there mig! Why Mr, Gould did not make. his appearance, other account of this transaction might be giver to justify the court in coming to the conclusion that the inference drawn by ‘Mr. Oliver was not warranted by the circumstances, and the tions might appear in another version. He gested, therefore, that where the facts were bi d Upon this statément, upon the a etn ot MS Oliver alone, there sould, not only in jus relator, whom he represented, in justice to the claimed to have represented Mr. Gould at Al le but also in justice to tie counsel present, be au opportunity atforded them to present their state- ment and version of the atfair as it might turn ous to be warranted by the facts. Judge Barrett—It is with that view the order to show cause is granted. Mr. Burrill continued to say that it might be con- sidered a harsh proceeding upon Mr. Gould and Mr, Harris in passing censure upon them without giving them an Appoint to be present. Under the cir- cumstances he would suggest that as the court had intimated that the habeas corpus proceeding should be adjourned to Tuesday morning, the court would defer naking any order until that time, when his client would: have an opportunity of presenting te the court such statements or ailldavits as wor enable the court to examine both sides of question. If on Tuesday the court thought the parties had been guilty of contempt, the cours could then make the order. ‘ine statement by Mr. Oliver was entirely ex pare, and while he did not impugn its veracity he believed the facts set forty misconstrued the action of Mr. Gould, He asked the court, therefore, to delay action in the matter, would call the attention of the court to the certifi of a physician with regard to Mr. Gould’s health, n as evidence, but asa matter which required considers ation, He had reason to believe that the aspect a aifairs would be changed, and he therefore suggest to the court not to grant the order until the case came up on Tuesday, when, if the facts warrante@ such a course, the court could use its own dis Mrs fale ton—The self-respect of the court quires tha the order should be issued, Judge Barrett—The matter does not call for ang ‘The order must be issued, ie Mr. Porter consid that the facts should be placed sufficiently before the éourt in order to ascery tain whether there was any cause of compl against Mr. Harris.
